Liu Tan asked in a low voice, "When is it?"

Chen Ajiao didn't speak, but Princess Danyang said: "My father said that the third day of April is an auspicious day."

On the third day of April, Liu Tan did some calculations in his mind and realized that there was only one month left until he was fully charged.

He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Is... is it too late?"

The so-called "whether or not to come" is actually referring to the dowry for Danyang.

In fact, the dowry of Princess Danyang is not equivalent to the dowry in the ordinary sense. Wusun asked for a marriage and sent a dowry, so he also asked for something. On the one hand, he asked the big man to support them so that the Xiongnu would not dare to act rashly. Also seek some advanced production technology.

And these are the most important things. It doesn't matter what is given to Wusun and what is absolutely not to be given must be discussed clearly.

For example, if you don't even think about the iron smelting process, you definitely can't give it.

Of course, this is Liu Tan's idea. Liu Tan remembers that during the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and her relatives brought many advanced technologies to the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that all those that can develop national power were taken away.In exchange for what?Isn't it Tubo's crimes from time to time?

In the end, even after Tubo developed itself, it turned around and began to plunder Datang.

In Liu Tan's eyes, the Xiongnu, like the Tubo, are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, and letting them develop will only hurt the big man in the end.

If there are these things in the agreed dowry, then Liu Tan will be admonished even if he is desperate!

Chen Ajiao said: "It has been discussed for several months, and I think the dust has settled."

Since the decision to marry Wusun, these things have actually been discussed. It has been discussed for two or three months. If there is no decision, Wusun will probably doubt whether the big man wants to marry the princess.

Liu Tan resisted the urge to sigh, forced a smile and said, "April is pretty good too, the grass grows and warblers fly, and it happens to be the time when the scenery on the grassland is very beautiful..."

Chen Ajiao turned her head to look at Princess Danyang, the reluctance in her eyes could not be concealed.

Princess Danyang smiled and said: "Don't worry about the queen, after I get a foothold there, maybe I can come back to see the queen!"

Chen Ajiao subconsciously said: "How is it possible?"

This is a distant marriage, and it is thousands of miles away, and it is a marriage between two countries. Basically, the princess will never come back after she gets married. How can she come back to see her?

Princess Danyang said firmly: "Yes, I will definitely find a way."

That aura instantly overwhelmed Chen Ajiao, who was already disheartened, and she seemed to rush out of a big man and kick Wusun.

Liu Tan silently praised Princess Danyang in his heart, but he hoped that Princess Danyang would maintain this momentum after encountering difficulties.

Chen Ajiao looked at Princess Danyang, she had discovered before that Princess Danyang didn't seem to be so resistant to the matter of getting married.

No, she was also resistant at the beginning, since... since Liu Tan went to talk to Danyang, she seemed to be a different person.

Chen Ajiao turned her head to look at Liu Tan and asked in surprise, "What did you tell Danyang?"

Liu Tan blinked at Chen Ajiao and said mischievously, "Secret."

Chen Ajiao patted him angrily and said, "Follow me."

Even though she said so, Chen Ajiao didn't pursue her in the end.

It doesn't matter what you said, as long as Danyang doesn't wash his face with tears all day long.

Liu Tan was really relieved, he could say those things to Princess Danyang, but he didn't dare to say that to Chen Ajiao.

What if Chen Ajiao awakens some strange attributes and wants to be the emperor herself?

It's not that he thinks it's wrong for a woman to be an emperor, the main reason is that he doesn't trust Chen Ajiao's political and emotional intelligence, and her husband is Liu Che, but it's not impossible for a weak emperor to think about it.

Meeting Liu Che...I'm afraid Chen Ajiao just had this idea here, and Liu Che has already lost his empress over there.

Chen Ajiao pulled Princess Danyang to sit down and said: "I have nothing to tell you, your situation is too complicated, and I can only rely on you in the future."

Chen Ajiao turned her head to look at Liu Tan and said, "Since you are so good at talking, talk to her more."

Liu Tanxin said that I have said everything I can say, and the rest... I won't either.

To be honest, Liu Tan didn't think that Princess Danyang could do what Liu Tan encouraged Princess Danyang to do. If he was thrown into this situation, he couldn't think of what to do first.

Liu Tan and Princess Danyang comforted Chen Ajiao for a long time, Chen Ajiao suddenly reacted and asked Liu Tan: "Did you have something to do when you came back?"

It took Liu Tan a half a beat before he remembered his purpose of coming back, so he smiled and said, "There's no rush."

Chen Ajiao said angrily: "You won't come back if you have nothing to do. You spend all day in Zhuangzi. There is no comfort in the palace in Zhuangzi. I don't know what you think, kid."

Liu Tanxin said that going to Zhuangzi was much more comfortable than being in the palace, at least it made him much more comfortable if he didn't see Liu Fuling.

Chen Ajiao waved her hand at Liu Tan and said in disgust, "Go, go, go and do your work."

After saluting, Liu Tan left Jiaofang Hall, and then asked Miao Rui to go to the Imperial Palace. Coincidentally, Liu Ju had time, so he asked someone to carry things to the Imperial Palace.

After arriving at the uterus, Liu Ju actually ran to the gate of the main hall to pick him up, which made Liu Tan very flattered.

Before Liu Tan saluted, Liu Ju grabbed his wrist and said, "I heard that you made some new harness. I've been busy these two days so I didn't have time to see it."

Liu Tan said with a smile: "Where is the need for Prince Labor to go there in person? I'll just send a pair."

Anyway, he has promised many copies, it doesn't matter how many, there are too many lice, it doesn't itch, and debts don't worry.

Liu Ju said very happily: "It's settled, if I find out that there is no one, I will go to your palace to settle the score later."

Liu Tan immediately said, "When did I forget Your Highness?"

The two of them chatted and laughed and went to the main hall. After he sat down, Liu Ju asked, "Just now Miao Rui said that you have something important to discuss. What is it?"

After Liu Tan asked people to put the things up, he talked about the cause and effect.

After hearing this, Liu Ju became serious. He picked it up and took a closer look at the props. Liu Tan got up and went over to show him. As for the screws, there was only the roughest initial version, but even that was enough to make Liu It has been found that the benefits of screws have been.

He pondered for a while and said, "Is this... the screw difficult to make?"

Liu Tan said uncertainly: "I'm not too sure. The blacksmith at my place said it's not very difficult, but it requires more energy. According to my standards, it should be more detailed than this. He only makes one a day. However, I don’t know what a blacksmith looks like, so I’m a little unsure.”

Liu Ju: ...

Liu Ju really didn't know much about this aspect, and he couldn't answer Liu Tan's question!

But his younger brother rarely came to him in confusion, how could a brother say he didn't know!

Liu Ju originally wanted to say that he would wait for him to think for two days before giving an answer, but felt that this excuse was a bit clumsy, and finally said simply: "Let's go see Father."

If you are indecisive, you can go to your father. Liu Ju is much more thorough than Liu Tan.

Instead, Liu Tan was a little hesitant: "Ah? Is it okay to disturb the emperor with such a trivial matter?"

"How can this be considered a trivial matter?" Liu Ju looked at him strangely: "If it is a trivial matter, why would you come to me?"

Liu Tan thinks about it too, anyway, what is he afraid of with Liu Zheng at the head?

Liu Tan followed Liu Ju all the way to Weiyang Palace. At first, Liu Tan was worried that Liu Che was busy with work and would not have time, but he found out that Liu Che was listening to music and dancing.

Seeing the two sons coming hand in hand, Liu Che was a little surprised. He already knew the news of Liu Tan's return to the palace. He reckoned that the horseshoe must have been made. He was also waiting for Liu Tan to come to him, but he did not expect Liu Tan to go there According to Liu.

After dismissing the musician and dancer, Liu Cheping asked, "What made you two come together?"

Liu Ju turned to look at Liu Tan, Liu Tan could only repeat his worries again.

After hearing this, Liu Che was very interested in the model he got. After playing with it a bit, he easily understood what Liu Tan meant.

Originally, Liu Tan thought that since he had told Liu Che, he could just wait for Liu Che to order, and he would use whatever he said.

But Liu Che asked back, "Which one do you think is better?"

Liu Tan said decisively: "Screws." Then he explained the reasons for choosing screws again. The only thing restricting such things is the low productivity.

Liu Che took the screw and carefully observed it for a long while, then smiled lightly and said, "It's rare that you can think of this way, Bu Fan, call someone and discuss the matter!"

So... a quarter of an hour later, Liu Tan sat in the middle of a group of people with a dazed expression on his face, and felt the atmosphere of the court.

Before the appearance of harnesses and horseshoes, they were spread in a small area. The generals didn’t get them, so naturally they didn’t discuss them too much. Now they have been discussed in a serious place, which means that this matter has involved the general direction of the country. .

Sitting next to Liu Ju, Liu Tan minimized his sense of existence as much as possible. He even sent people up to give explanations. Fortunately, eunuchs in the Han Dynasty were not so low status, and giving explanations in court was acceptable. .

After Miao Rui and Bi Gao finished their joint explanations, everyone began to discuss how these things are.

In fact, many people can only rely on their imagination, and the only experienced ones are Liu Che, Liu Tan and Li Ling.

It is impossible for Liu Che to tell the ministers how he feels after riding. Liu Tan regards himself as the background board, so only Li Ling will be on it.

Li Ling still highly respects horse gear. As for horseshoes, he dare not express too much opinion, because he is not sure whether they are good or not.

Not only Li Ling, but others also welcomed the appearance of harnesses. Just when Liu Tan thought that the promotion of harnesses and horseshoes was a certainty, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty, everything the fifth prince does is to To ruin the country of the big man, his heart can be punished!"

Liu Tan was not angry after hearing this, but was full of question marks.

He really didn't understand the logic of it.

Liu Che glanced at the man and said lazily, "What's the prime minister's opinion?"

Prime Minister?Prime Minister Shi Qing?

Liu Tan was even more strange. When he was the prime minister, wasn't he famous for not caring about anything?

He still remembered that when he first learned to do analysis here, everyone thought that it was because Shi Qing became a puppet prime minister that he got a good death.

You must know that few prime ministers during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ended well. Shi Qing died in office in the end, which is not bad.

He didn't offend the puppet prime minister, did he?Why come up and shoot at him?

Shi Qing said with a serious face: "The fifth prince first made the winter harvest of the grapes go against the harmony of heaven and easily lead to disasters. The fire at Bailiang Terrace is most likely a warning from heaven."

Liu Tan almost laughed angrily after hearing this. It has been more than a month since the fire at Bailiang Terrace. You are only now saying that it has something to do with me. Why did you go so early?Why didn't you think it had something to do with me?

Liu Che obviously didn't believe it either, so he said directly: "Don't talk nonsense, the fire at Bailiang Terrace was caused by the dry weather and water, don't bring it up again, today we only talk about the harness."

Shi Qing also said: "It is the harness that will destroy the country of the great man. Our heavy cavalry has always had the advantage, and it is enough to deal with the Xiongnu. Even if the light cavalry has new harness blessings, it may not be able to defeat the Huns. With this set of harnesses, the Xiongnu cavalry will go to a higher level, but our Han heavy cavalry may not be able to fight against them, the fifth prince will be punished, please let your Majesty learn from you."

Liu Tan: ...

How should I put it, this brain circuit is... resigned to defeat.
