Although the matter of the eldest prince was suppressed by Emperor Huiming and not publicized in the court, it still caused a lot of reaction in the harem of the former dynasty.

The ministers are well-informed, and after knowing this matter, the matter of the court about the establishment of the prince was naturally raised, and Emperor Huiming had never had any problems with his body before, although there was a constant undercurrent between the eldest prince and the third prince, but there had never been a big battle on the surface, and the ministers could not find the right time to mention the matter of the prince.

Now that the eldest prince has been poked out by the three princes for raising troops privately, the ministers have brought up the matter of the prince, and it just so happens that Emperor Huiming has had several physical problems recently. To put it bluntly, the ministers are even more worried that if Emperor Huiming suddenly dies one day, the battle for the throne is not simply a joke, and the struggle for the throne of all dynasties has been accompanied by blood and war.

In the harem, the queen, who had not seen anyone for a long time, was dressed in a red phoenix dress, kneeling in front of Emperor Huiming, bowing her head and saying nothing.

"The queen should go back, this matter is not negotiable." Emperor Huiming waved his hand, his eyes still resting on the folds on the imperial case.

I didn't expect Xiaoba to really work hard in the northwest, although it was a bit reckless to propose the opening of trade routes, but it was undeniable that it was indeed a road. However, looking at the words on the fold, I am afraid that Xiao Aiqing's shadow is in this fold and the opening of the trade route.

The queen bit her lip, he only has one child, the eldest emperor, if this child is really disgusted by the emperor because of this incident, how can her child fight in the short term. It's all useless to her, and she doesn't know who instigated the emperor to do such things.

"Your Majesty, although the emperor is said to have an impulsive temper, you also know that he is simple-minded, and he doesn't believe in such a thing as raising soldiers privately." The queen raised her head and looked at Emperor Huiming's face without reaction, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but it was fleeting, "Your Majesty, the emperor must be instigated, please be aware of it." ”

Emperor Huiming put down the fold, and there was a red word "quasi" written on it.

"I don't bother to guess what his mind is, I just say that he hides so many soldiers and horses in private, that is, it is understandable that he wants to rebel." Emperor Huiming remembered the anger that surged in his heart when the third prince knelt in front of him and said about the eldest prince, although he didn't like him very much because of the eldest prince's temperament, but it was the first prince he successfully grew up, and he also paid attention to him, but what his eldest prince gave back to him was such a thing as raising soldiers privately.

The queen's body softened, and she quickly straightened her back, "Your Majesty, but the emperor is our only child, please spare him for the sake of the concubine who has been in charge of the harem for many years." ”

His Majesty sighed, and motioned to the little eunuch beside him to help the queen up, "Queen, I just divided him out, did not depose him, and even gave him a large fief, it is already for your sake." ”

The queen closed her eyes and saluted again, "Thank you for your grace." ”

"Queen, you're tired too, go back." Emperor Huiming waved his hand and continued to look down at the twists and turns on the imperial case, until the queen walked out, Emperor Huiming looked up at the queen's back and was silent for a long time.

The decree to divide the fief to the eldest prince soon came down, and the eldest prince was named King Ning, and the fief was in the rich land near the sea. As soon as the will was given, the ministers understood that although His Majesty was angry about the matter of the eldest prince this time, he did not really dislike the eldest prince, and it was uncertain what would happen in the future.

Xiao Qiao and his entourage, who were far away in Yong'an City in the northwest, were completely unaffected by the imperial court, and the reported report was approved, so Xiao Qiao helped Qin Yuyi to start working on opening up trade routes. The Yingxian tribe in the north has a kind of ore that Dayu does not have, and the weapons forged from this ore are exceptionally sharp, which once gave Yingxian the strength to annex several tribes that were not less than Yingxian a few years later.

After Qin Yuyi learned about this ore from Xiao Qiao, he was more active in preparing the caravan, and even wanted to follow along, but was finally stopped by Xiao Qiao. Ying Xian's current situation is unclear, and the vanguard will inquire about Ying Xian's situation clearly.

Qin Yuyi could only stay in Yong'an City, but he couldn't be idle, in addition to insisting on practicing martial arts and reading every day, he went to a few cities near Yong'an City, which made him find a lot of problems, and he also learned to solve a lot of problems, and grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Qiao will not interfere in Qin Yuyi's affairs most of the time, unless Qin Yuyi has some problems that cannot be solved, otherwise he will watch Qin Yuyi solve it by himself. When he is fine, he will take Hu away to hunt, and both of them are now good at it, and they can bring back prey every day.

The days in the northwest are not as comfortable as in the imperial city, but everyone has a very easy life, there are not so many depressing things in the imperial city, and there are not so many things to calculate. Even if the people here are careful, most of them are trying to survive with a full stomach, and there is no comparison with the intrigues for power in the imperial city.

Ten days later, the people who went to Yingxian returned. When they left, they took Dayu's silk and grain with them, and when they returned, they brought back a cart of Yingxian specialties and a cart of stones.

Xiao Qiao looked at the stones on the car and nodded, "Yes, that's the case, where did you find the place?" ”

The person who came back nodded excitedly, "If you go back to Your Highness and your lordship, the stone is in a col where they are, and they think that there is little prey in that place, so they almost don't go." The subordinates had already told the patriarch of the Yingxian tribe that if they wanted to build a dwelling there, the place would be in that mountain col. ”

"Didn't they suspect it?" Qin Yuyi frowned, a group of outsiders suddenly wanted to build a residence on the edge of their tribe, how could they agree lightly.

The person who came back shook his head, "Your Highness, rest assured, they have no doubts, it should be said that they think the place chosen by their subordinates is good, after all, there are few prey there, and it is safe for ordinary people to live." ”

"That's just as well." Qin Yuyi nodded, "This thing will be transported to the forging room built before, see what kind of sharp weapon he can play?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The group was extremely excited because they had found what they were looking for, and they were also looking forward to the weapons that were about to be created.

Qin Yuyi was naturally curious about what Xiao Qiao said about the sharp weapons that could be made, so he went to the forging room with him.

Hu Li took one of the ores, pinched them, and whispered to Xiao Qiao, "There is a trace of aura in this ore, no wonder it can create a sharp weapon." ”

"Huh?" Although Xiao Qiao has begun to cultivate, he is still not as familiar and sensitive to aura as Hu Li, so when he heard Hu Li's words, he took it and tried it, and sure enough, it contained a trace of aura.

"This aura is too manic to absorb, so it can only be used to forge weapons." Hu Li said regretfully, "The spiritual energy in this world is thin, and it is even more difficult to find a spiritual vein, and the Extreme North Mountain is already the best spiritual vein that Grandpa has found." ”

Xiao Qiao led Hu out of the door, the people coming and going on the street, after this time, the people's shadow of the previous war has gradually dissipated, and the streets have become lively, no longer as deserted as before.

"Xiao Li, wait for me for a few years, and when I have a few things, I will travel around this world with you, and I will always find a good spiritual vein when the time comes." Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's palm, looked at him and looked at him, and smiled warmly, "There are also many countries on the other side of the sea, and their customs are completely different from Da Yu, so when the time comes, we will take a look at those places." ”

"Really?" Hu Li raised his head slightly, "I heard my grandfather say that there are many strange things overseas, but my grandfather said that I am not good enough and never let me cross the sea to see it." ”

"yes, really." Xiao Qiao nodded, he also wanted to see how big this world was and how big Da Yu was.

The craftsmen in the forge are all experienced craftsmen, and although this new ore is much more difficult to beat than ordinary iron ore, the blades created are indeed sharper than ordinary iron ore.

On the day the first knife was created, Xiao Qiao took Hu Li and Qin Yuyi to the forging room, and the craftsmen inside were also happy. It took a lot of effort to melt the ore at the beginning, and the temperature was almost twice as high as that of ordinary furnaces. It took them several transformations to build a furnace that could withstand and maintain such high temperatures, and only then did they have today's broadsword.

Since Qin Yuyi had cultivated the art of forging the body, he was even more pleased with all kinds of weapons, and he picked up the knife on the spot and waved a set of knife techniques, and the sharp blade cut off the corners of the tables, chairs and benches in the forging room.

"Hahaha, good, it's a good thing!" Qin Yuyi laughed, stroked the still rough blade, looked at Xiao Qiao and said excitedly, "Old ...... Xiao Yuanwailang, if this thing is dedicated to his father, his father will definitely be happy. ”

"This is the blessing of Dayu, and the minister is only doing his best." Xiao Qiao shook his head, pointed at those craftsmen, and said, "And the thing is made by the craftsmen, not to mention this knife, even the furnace they rebuilt is a great credit." ”

The craftsmen were immediately frightened, and waved their hands again and again, and the honest men blushed, "Don't say that, my lord, if there is no ore, we will not think about improving the furnace and raising the temperature." ”

Qin Yuyi's eyes were smiling, he was already a lot taller than when he came to the northwest for two months, and he looked like he was already a trustworthy prince, not a prince who came to rely on his royal status.

"You don't have to say it, no one is indispensable for this credit, and when His Highness reports this matter to the heavens, you will wait to receive the reward." Qin Yuyi put the big knife aside, turned to the people present and said.

Because the ore really had to be used, Qin Yuyi's shot made Emperor Huiming smile again, and even his body, which had felt uncomfortable in recent days, was a lot lighter.

"Okay, it really made him famous."

Several adults who were discussing in the imperial study looked at the twists and turns sent from the northwest with a curious face, and Zhou Chengxiang touched his beard and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask what makes Your Majesty so happy, can you let your subordinates listen to it?" ”

Prime Minister Zhou is the queen's brother, although he has been implicated in the affairs of the eldest prince, but he is still the prime minister, and His Majesty has no intention of wanting to change people.

"It's okay to let you know," Emperor Huiming picked up the fold and asked the little eunuch to pass it on to a few adults one by one, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I'm interested in dancing guns and sticks, this stinky boy." ”

After reading the recital, several adults had a lot of thoughts in their hearts. However, in just two months, the Eighth Emperor actually got a new ore from Ying Xian, if that weapon is really as sharp as it was said, it will be a higher level for Da Yu's troops!

Several adults knelt down at the same time, shouting: "This is the blessing of the community, the blessing of Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't know if what he said is true or not!" Emperor Huiming smiled and waved his hand, telling the adults to get up.

Although Emperor Huiming said so, several adults knew in their hearts that the eighth prince could no longer be regarded as the little prince who had no sense of zài in the future!
