Chapter 329: Intention to kill the king

No one knew the situation in the imperial study better than Li Zheng, although there was no feeling of steaming, but when he entered the door, he could clearly perceive the two completely different temperatures separated by a door.

Although there is a fire outside to keep warm, it is still in the cold air, and the heat loss is quite serious, so naturally you can't feel the obvious temperature.

Li Zheng glanced at the two tall bamboo tubes in the front window, as well as the two iron-cast coal stoves: "Liu Aiqing, are these things that make my imperial study warm?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case, all the five stoves are black stone, the temperature is high for a long time, I don't know if it's a hundred times stronger than charcoal, and this coal stove can not only be used for heating, boiling water is suitable for cooking, a small briquette can be compared to three bundles of firewood with poison."

Liu Dashao, who was explaining, suddenly found that Li Zheng was looking at him with an angry face, and the concubines also stepped back tightly, avoiding the coal stove that emitted heat.

Zhou Fei, the head of the inner house, pointed at Liu Mingzhi with trembling fingers: "Bold Liu Mingzhi, he actually intended to kill the king, come here, take it." ”

A cadre of imperial guards rushed into the imperial study in an orderly manner, holding a Yanling knife in their hands to surround Liu Dashao.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, and the minister definitely has no intention of killing the king."

After a short period of distraction, Liu Mingzhi knelt on the ground, for fear that he would be hacked to death by these guards as soon as the emperor gave an order, and blood would be splattered on the spot.

An Gou'er also knelt on the ground in a panic, and his forehead was tightly on the ground, not daring to move in the slightest.

Li Zheng glanced at these imperial guards with cold eyes: "All retreat." ”

The imperial guards did not hesitate to put away their sabers and quickly exited the imperial study, but they did not go far, and all stood outside the door waiting for orders.

Li Zhengduan sat on the dragon chair and looked at Liu Mingzhi coldly: "Everyone knows that burning black stones in the room can kill people, Liu Aiqing, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will kill the king and punish the nine clans." ”

"Your Majesty, this black stone burning can indeed kill people, but the minister definitely has no intention of killing the king, if the minister really intends to kill the king, how can he only take Jiang He alone to break into this deep palace forbidden land, if the minister really intends to kill the king, how can he tell that it is the black stone that burns, the minister is really wronged."

Li Zheng's eyes gradually calmed down, and Liu Dashao breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the feeling of being stared at by a fierce tiger was gone.

It turned out that the previous amiable emperor was only his side, and this side that could control life and death in a single word was his original momentum.

"Give me an explanation."

"Your Majesty, if this black stone is burned directly, it can indeed kill people, but the minister discharged the smoke that killed people through the bamboo tube to the outside, as long as the black smoke is not diffused in the room, this black stone not only does not have the slightest harm, but is a supreme weapon, as long as it is mastered, not only can it be civilian, but it can also upgrade the armament of my big dragon to a stage, without consuming a lot of manpower and material resources, it can also be easily forged into a hundred refined steel. If it is really harmful, depending on the time when the black stone burns, Your Majesty should have symptoms of stuffiness now, but now Your Majesty will have the slightest discomfort? ”

Li Zheng motioned for Zhou Fei to go out and take a look at the location of the bamboo tube.

After a while, Zhou Fei came back and whispered a few words next to Li Zheng: "Your Majesty, what Lord Liu said is not wrong, there is indeed a puff of black smoke discharged along with the bamboo tube." ”

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Can this blackstone really make steel?"

"Exactly, the minister will never dare to boast, this black stone"

"This is not the court, so I won't talk about these things, and when the time comes, you can write a recital and submit it."

Liu Mingzhi, who was about to tell how to use blackstone to make steel, was interrupted by the emperor, and subconsciously glanced at the emperor, only to see him glancing at the concubines next to him, Liu Mingzhi immediately understood, the emperor didn't want the concubines to know the key to this steel matter.

There are many people in the harem, and the concubines have an inextricable relationship with their mothers, and each concubine represents a noble party behind her, and the matter of steelmaking is the important weapon of the country, and it is a blessing or a curse to leak out.

The most important thing is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and talking about political affairs in front of concubines is not a situation that the emperor wants to see.

"Obey."

"It's me who misunderstood you, I'm very satisfied with your warmth, but next time there is something to declare to me in advance, otherwise something really happened that is not what I want to see, and it is not what you want to see, understand?"

"Yes, the minister knows, and he will definitely make it clear to His Majesty in advance in the future."

"Tell me what this is?"

"Your Majesty, this is a hot pot, and I didn't want to use it after the minister made it, and immediately thought of sending it to His Majesty, and the minister will always put His Majesty first in his heart."

Li Zheng and a concubine looked at Liu Dashao strangely, although it is not uncommon for officials to pat on the back, but others are also readers who want to face, and patting on the back is also a vague expression of admiration for the emperor, like Liu Dashao's straightforwardness, such a straightforward pat on the back has never been possible.

Li Zhengdu felt a little embarrassed, and he really didn't know what to say.

"Hot pot? How does it work? Could it be that the pot made of fire is not successful? ”

"This?" Why is the emperor's brain circuit so clear: "Your Majesty, this hot pot is for eating." In winter, the weather is cold, even if it is a good hot dish, it will become cold in a moment, and it is easy to eat bad stomach after eating, but this hot pot is different, you can eat it while cooking, to ensure that the heat of the meal does not dissipate, and it can also generate heat throughout the body after eating. ”

Li Zheng looked at the hot pot in front of him in confusion: "Is it so magical?" It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, so you prepare a pot of hot pot for me, and I want to see if it's so magical! ”

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, a gentleman is far away from cooking, how can Lord Liu prepare a meal?" Empress Nangong Meng reminded the emperor at the right time.

"But I'm confused, and I'll send the imperial chef from the imperial dining room to the imperial study."

"Your Majesty, the minister is fine, the minister is born as a person of the dragon, and death is the ghost of the dragon, even if he throws his head and spills blood for His Majesty, the minister will never frown, not to mention preparing a meal, the minister is willing to serve His Majesty."

Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi stupidly, although this sycophant sounds comfortable, but it is too straightforward, which makes me a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, this hot pot was made by the minister, no one knows how to use it except the minister, please give the minister a chance to dedicate himself."

"Since Liu Aiqing has such a fist heart, you can prepare."

"Jiang He, bring in the ingredients prepared in the box."

The reason for preparing for these, Liu Dashao pursued the principle of eating people's mouths, and when the time came, the emperor should not be straightforward when discussing the matter of the coal business, and the heavenly family should not compete with the people for profit and directly veto.

After all, it's easy to get things done when you're well fed and drunk.

The people looked at Liu Dashao who was busy before and after all with strange expressions, the dignified lord actually deigned to do this kind of thing, it was really a lord who behaved abnormally.
