Chapter 21: Jane in the Emperor's Heart

I must send it, I must send it! Zhang Qian has also been admitted to graduate school, and the moment Zhang's voice fell, he himself figured out the truth!

Indeed, there is a special warm pavilion in the Daming Palace, Li Xian wants to eat a hot meal, and there are chefs on call in the imperial dining room 24 hours a day. However, you sent a small hot pot and a water stove into the palace, Li Xian can laugh at you for being a savage, but you can't help but take the initiative to express your loyalty to him! (Note: The savage was exposed, and the farmer who worked was roasted hot by the sun, and wanted to give the opportunity to bask in the sun to the king.) Used to mock those who have never seen the world)

Especially when the bigwigs of the six departments of the three provinces and the five eunuchs of the nine temples and the five eunuchs have a small red copper hot pot in their hands, and a water stove that is much cleaner and warmer than a charcoal basin has been set up in each office, if the emperor and their family are only missed, Zhang, the young eunuch, will really take the initiative to find a beat.

So, it must be sent. Not only did you have to send it, but you also had to change the copper pot on it to a silver pot. Silver conducts heat quickly and can also identify poisons, which is really suitable for the royal family. As for the fact that I didn't think of sending the small hot pot into the palace before, it was because the manufacturing process of the hot pot was not mature, and the safety also needed to be strictly verified.

Although the furnace body under the small hot pot can directly use the original copper stove, the medicine compartment part must be reduced to one-third of the original, and two isolation plates must be added in the middle. When needed, close the barrier with a knob to block the contact between alcohol and air and extinguish the flame.

Even if the flames could not be extinguished, the reduced capacity of the chamber would not provide enough alcohol to start a large fire. Anyway, for Li Xian, the hot pot thing is at most a fresh meal, and it will not be like Zhang Qian and other poor ghosts, who rely on hot pot for a whole meal. And every time Li Xian eats, there are so many eunuchs and palace maids waiting around him, in case the alcohol in the medicine cabin is empty halfway through eating, he doesn't have to worry about the new medicine cabin that no one can help replace in time.

Since silver is used for the hot pot specially built for the Shenlong Emperor, and the water stove is beaten with wrought iron, it is too shabby. In order to ensure safety and beauty, after "a long time of testing and repeated attempts", the water stove finally sent to the palace has many decorative small bits and pieces in addition to the functional parts that should be there, and all the decorations are made of pure copper, polished by hand, and the luxury level is close to the plastic car logo of the 21st century.

Anyway, the word "tribute" in these years is equivalent to the "special offering" appraisal in the 21st century. No matter how much you spend on it, you can double it back in the end!

The actual result is just as Zhang Qian expected. On the second day after the sterling silver hot pot and water stove were sent to the palace, Gao Yanfu, the famous general of the prison gate in the palace, came to the ordnance prison in the forbidden garden with the decree of Li Xian, the emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. The emperor's commendation to the new young eunuch Zhang Qian, as well as all the officials above and below the ordnance superintendent, was announced in public.

Although no one was promoted, the silk and jade utensils given by Emperor Li Xian of the Heavenly Dragon were not enough for half a set of water stoves, but all the officials were grateful. (Note: The edict is an edict issued directly by the inner court without going through the door of the Chinese book.) It is usually used for the emperor's private affairs, and theoretically has no legal effect. )

is different from the eunuch who is full of yin qi in the TV series, Gao Yanfu, the general of the prison gate, was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and three clean and smooth white whiskers floating on his chin. On behalf of the Ying Tianshen Dragon Emperor Li Xian, after accepting the cheers and salutes of everyone, this person slammed the holy decree into Zhang Qian's arms and grabbed the latter's arm, "The hot pot is good, our family has served Your Majesty for many years, and it is rare to see Your Majesty eat so happily." The water stove is also good, Your Majesty asked people to follow the installation instructions you wrote, and installed it in the small dormitory on the left side of the Zichen Palace, and it felt warm like spring all night. His Majesty said that Young Eunuch Zhang had a heart, and he was very satisfied. But in the future, I hope that Young Eunuch Zhang will spend all his thoughts on sharp weapons that can make my Tang Dynasty soldiers like tigers, so that he can live up to the three words of the military inspector. ”

Is this a compliment to me, or is it a knock on me? Zhang Qian was so confused when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he just broke his arm out of Gao Yanfu's palm, and then held the holy decree with both hands, and bowed down to accept the teaching, "Weichen Zhang Qian obeys the order, Your Majesty Sheng'an!" ”

"St. Gongan!" Gao Yanfu opened his body slightly and responded according to the fixed etiquette routine. Immediately, he stretched out his right hand again, grabbed Zhang Qian's sleeve, and continued to say with a smile: "The saint also said that his family has a great business, and he has many wives and children, unlike ordinary people, a pot and a water stove are enough. According to a rough estimate in the palace, there are about fifty sets more. ”

didn't give Zhang Qian a chance to break free from the salute, smiled, and quickly added, "The saint also said that knowing that Zhang Qing is very rich, and a medicine can be sold for 100,000 hangs, he will not be polite to Zhang Qing." This winter is wet and cold, and I hope that Young Eunuch Zhang will move faster, and don't drag the things sent to the palace to the end! ”

"Weichen obeys the order, and within ten days, he guarantees that the water stove and silver hot pot will be ready!" Zhang Qian was so distressed that he inhaled a cool breath, but he could only break free from Gao Yanfu's pull again and bow down.

Be careful, Li Xian is really the grandson of Fengzi Long, and he is as careful as his own grandfather who knocked down Wei Zheng's tombstone. It's just that a small hot pot and water stove were delivered a few days late, and as a result, I can't wait to punish Zhang Mou for bankruptcy. And he still refuses to explain the reason, just rely on the authority of the emperor and let go of the robbery!

However, that Gao Yanfu didn't feel Zhang Qian's pain at all, and actually followed him for the third time, stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, "The saint still said, ......

Zhang Qianling shivered, wanting to cry without tears. I knew this, what copper ornament did Zhang add to the water stove? ! This time, it's okay, fifty sets of water stoves, and the material money for copper ornaments alone will cost more than sixty hangings, and the labor has not been counted in it.

"The Holy One also said!" After a deliberate pause to give Zhang Qian enough time to frighten, Gao Yanfu added with a smile, "On the fifth day of the first month of next month, after he disperses the early dynasty, he will personally come to Jinyuan to review the Imperial Forest Army, and take a look at the situation after the relocation of the ordnance superintendent." I look forward to Zhang Qing being able to give him another surprise like offering gunpowder, windmills, and machine wells! Okay, there is nothing else, Young Eunuch Zhang, we will congratulate you first. Our family has been serving the saint for more than three years, and it is the first time that we have seen him personally come to the Nine Temples and Five Prisons to inspect. This is a rare opportunity, and you must cherish it! ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" After a series of blows, Zhang Qian was smashed and dizzy, regardless of his backache, he stepped back and saluted again.

It's a rare chance for bullshit, it's the 27th today, less than ten days away from the fifth day of the first month of next month. In just one week, let Zhang take out something to surprise Emperor Yingtian Shenlong? What's more, the Ordnance Supervisor has just been relocated to the Forbidden Garden, and even the production of armor rods and bows and crossbows has not been straightened out again.

However, muttering in his stomach, Zhang Qian couldn't say to Gao Yanfu, can you do me a favor and tell the emperor that we will make an appointment another day? Therefore, I could only thank the old eunuch with a strong head and receive the order, and then beat the spirit and sent the old eunuch out of the door.

"Senior brother, Jane is in the emperor's heart! You're really Jane in the emperor's heart. Now it's okay, you don't have to worry about it anymore, someone dares to snatch the elixir you consign! ”

"Senior Brother is already a fifth-grade young eunuch, how can anyone dare to snatch his elixir without opening his eyes? If you want me to say, it is clear that the emperor wants to add an official to the senior brother, but he can't bring in the hot pot and water stove, so he specially came to the ordnance supervisor to take a turn! ”

It was completely different from Zhang Qian's feeling, without waiting for Gao Yanfu's figure to go away, Guo Nu and Ren Cong came to Zhang Qian's side one left and one right, and rushed to congratulate him.

"You two, didn't you hear General Gao's words, the Holy Lord wants a surprise, no less than a surprise like alcohol, windmills and machine shafts?!" was so angry by the two big-hearted junior brothers that his eyes turned black, Zhang Qian turned his head and asked through gritted teeth.

"Hear? How could you not have heard? Ren Cong has been beaten many times, and he has already formed a conditioned reflex, and when he found that the senior brother's tone was wrong, he decisively leaned back, "Let's hurry up and install four refining pots, isn't it okay?" Isn't it a surprise to double the alcohol production? ”

"Alcohol alone will not work!" Guo Nuwu didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, shook his round head, and retorted in a low voice, "What has already happened can't be regarded as a surprise." The elder brother has to take out new things, and like a windmill and a well, it will benefit the country and the people. Senior brother, anyway, there are so many treasures in the master's sect, can you just get another one? Perhaps, as soon as the emperor is happy, he will promote you to be a prisoner! ”

"That's right, senior brother, just get one out, don't worry about the money, the material money, wrap it up on the two of us!" Relying on himself to hide far enough, Ren Cong smiled and helped.

"You think I'm a robot cat?" Zhang Qian was angry and anxious, and pinched his fingers with a gurgling sound. "Let's go, go to school. It's been a long time since I've instructed you in martial arts, senior brother is in a good mood today, let's make up for our homework! ”

"Senior brother, there is still an urgent matter over there in the Armor Staff Department, I'll go first!"

"Senior brother, the alchemy pot is maintained today, I have to keep an eye on it!"

Ren Cong and Guo Nu saw that the situation was not good, and they dropped a word everywhere and fled. ran all the way out of Zhang Qian's pursuit range, only to stop and turn their heads to look at each other in a daze, "What is a robot cat?" Have you heard Senior Brother mention it before? ”

"What the hell? Anyway, those in the division are definitely not mortal! It's not good, the senior brother has followed, the third junior brother, I'll go first! ”

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, wait for me! Senior brother, second senior brother has good martial arts and is suitable to be your opponent. I'm willing to bow down! ”

While shouting loudly, the two brothers each opened their legs and ran at a gallop!
