Seeing that the glass production began to make progress, Wang Ke began to think that he had to find Li Ke, and he had been talking about the materials for the shell of the telescope for himself for a while, and he didn't know if Li Ke had found it. Besides, the prince has been taking over the production of hot air balloons for a while, and he hasn't seen it, and I don't know if this master will go to Comrade Li Er to sue him for his black state, saying that if he doesn't go to see it, he can't just give him the handle casually.

Wang Ke came all the way to Li Ke's office, called Li Ke and ran to the Weapon Preparation Bureau, along the way Wang Ke carefully asked Li Ke about the material, listening to Li Ke's tone, I felt that Li Ke and the craftsman had nothing to do, and after looking for so long, I didn't find the material that Wang Ke said was lighter.

Wang Ke also knows that in this era, not to mention that there is no plastic, even the metal is not as complete as the later generations, and now many metals have not been able to be smelted.

As soon as he entered the big 'door' of the Weapons Preparation Bureau, Wang Ke pulled Li Ke to go to the prince first, Wang Ke had already thought about it, as soon as he arrived, he would go to the prince first, and if there was any problem, he would immediately point it out, and if there was no problem, he would have to find a way to pick some thorns, in a word, he couldn't make the prince too comfortable, anyway, Comrade Li Er also said, if there is anything, just say it, if you can't manage it, you can go directly to him.

Who knew that when I came to the workshop where I made hot air balloons, I only saw the craftsmen doing it step by step there, and I didn't see the shadow of the prince Li Chengqian, and I called the steward to ask and found out that the prince had not been here for several days.

Wang Ke immediately asked the steward to carefully tell the whereabouts of the prince after taking over, from the steward's mouth Wang Ke understood, the prince has not been here for a few days, at the beginning, the prince still came early in the morning every day, each process must be carefully checked, and he has to stay until it is almost dark before leaving, although at that time the prince did not understand the matter, but less to say more and see, the appearance of doing everything personally still makes the craftsmen feel quite high, and they are also very motivated to do things.

After all, in the Weapons Preparation Bureau, there has not been any project like the manufacture of hot air balloons, which was managed by a prince at the beginning, and when the prince left, another prince came to manage it, and the craftsmen who did not understand the reason only felt that the identity of the person in charge was becoming more and more noble, and the impression to them was that this showed that Comrade Li Er attached great importance to this project.

But the good times didn't last long, that is, after a few days, the prince also became a big picture every morning, and disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't see his shadow all day, and in the last few days, even the routine meeting in the morning was exempted, and the prince's figure was invisible for several days, and he didn't know where to find him.

The person in charge has no choice, and can only manage according to the rules left by Li Ke before, fortunately, when Li Ke managed before, everything has been done very formally, and all the on-site management personnel are also familiar with other projects, even if the prince does not come, as long as there is no major accident, the management personnel can still deal with it according to experience, so that the shutdown did not happen.

After listening to the report of the steward, Wang Ke immediately knew what was going on in his heart, when the prince first took over, it was estimated that he was also quite angry, which can be seen from the fact that he asked Li Ke to give up the office, but after Wang Ke stirred up the situation, the prince may be a little discouraged after being reprimanded by Comrade Li Er, but after all, he has just taken over, and the novelty has not passed, so he can come here early and return late every day.

After a few days, the mood in my heart slowly faded, plus I was used to pleasure, and a while ago I was ordered by Comrade Li Er not to go out of the East Palace, and I couldn't stand it anymore, and now I have seized such an opportunity to leave the palace every day, and I will definitely relapse from the old illness and take my own group of entourages to play around.

But because the courage was not yet open at that time, all of them had to come to take a photo every morning, saying that they had come to see it, as for the past few days, it must have been to see that there was nothing wrong, plus it was very delayed to come here and then go every day, so I simply didn't come over anymore, but every morning in the name of going to work at the Weapons Preparation Bureau, I went around after leaving the palace, and I didn't go back to the palace until it was dark.

Anyway, no one usually comes here, even if you meet Comrade Li Er in the palace and ask about the situation here, you can just say a few words, and you can easily 'get it' over.

Wang Ke felt that this was a great opportunity to hit the prince, as long as he could be sure that the prince was not in the palace now, then the prince would not have a good time today, for such an opportunity, Wang Ke would never give up easily.

In other words, Wang Ke has to grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity no matter what, how can he let it slip away from his hands casually! Wang Ke picked up Li Ke and walked out.

Li Ke originally thought that Wang Ke was going to go with himself to see what materials could be selected to make the shell of the telescope, but when he saw that he was out of the 'door', he found that Wang Ke was actually pulling himself in the direction of the big 'door' of the weapon preparation bureau.

Li Ke unconsciously asked with some doubts: "Brother Wang, where are you pulling your little brother up, aren't the materials placed here, where are you going to go like this!" ”

"Enter the Palace"

Wang Ke kept walking forward, and spit out two words from his mouth without looking back, and immediately confused Li Kezhen, obviously saying that he came to see the materials, but now he didn't see anything, and he was going to enter the palace, what is this for!

Li Ke threw Wang Ke and took his hand, stood there and asked, "Brother Wang, what are you going to do in the palace now?" Didn't you say that you have to look at the material? Didn't you watch it today? ”

Wang Ke saw that Li Ke really didn't understand, so he had to stop, turned around and said: "The prince hasn't 'appeared' for a few days, who knows what he will do again, if he is sick, can't we go into the palace to care about it?" ”

Li Ke saw that Wang Ke said well, but there was a thief smile on his face, and he knew that Wang Ke didn't have any good ideas in his heart, but he didn't understand what the connection between this prince not 'showing up' and them entering the palace now, but he didn't know how to ask Wang Ke, so he was stuck there.

Wang Ke saw that Li Ke really didn't understand his thoughts, so he had to walk up to Li Ke and whisper to Li Ke: "A few days ago, the prince came here early in the morning to take a trip, and immediately disappeared. Now we just need to go to the palace and know that the prince is not in the palace, we will go to see the emperor. ”

When Li Ke heard Wang Ke's words, he reacted, and Wang Ke was about to fall into the well!

The prince took advantage of the opportunity to go to the Weapons Preparation Bureau on an errand to go out of the palace to play, and now he stabbed this matter to Comrade Li Er, the prince must come out and say it, a 'handover' generation is not clear, it is completely conceivable what Comrade Li Er's reaction will be, and at that time, the prince's life will not be easy.

But Li Ke has a question, he doesn't know how Wang Ke can know that the prince is not in the palace, it is definitely unrealistic to go directly to the East Palace, but if he doesn't go to the East Palace, how can he know that the prince is not in the palace?

Li Ke raised the question in his heart to Wang Ke, Wang Ke turned his head and glanced at Li Ke, but said lightly: "You will know in a while, and now I can't tell you clearly!" ”

Seeing Wang Ke's 'chest' look, Li Ke rarely asked again, anyway, as soon as he arrived in the palace, he would naturally be able to know what method Wang Ke used to learn that the prince was not in the palace, and if Wang Ke couldn't figure out this matter at that time, he would never dare to go to see Comrade Li Er.

Li Ke followed Wang Ke all the way to the palace gate, Li Ke saw that Wang Ke did not go straight to the palace, but walked towards the soldiers guarding the palace gate, I don't know what Wang Ke is going to do, and hurriedly followed.

Coming to the soldiers guarding the 'gate' of the palace, Li Ke saw Wang Ke saluting the soldiers guarding the 'gate' of the palace and asked, "Have you been here in the morning?" ”

After receiving the soldier's affirmative answer, Wang Ke continued to ask, "Did you see the prince leaving the palace in the morning?" ”

The soldiers didn't know what Wang Ke was asking him for, but he still nodded honestly, indicating that he had seen the prince go out of the palace.

Wang Ke saw that so far, things are still in line with his conjecture, and his heart tightened for no reason, he was really afraid that his last question would be asked, and the answer he got was completely in his hope, so this opportunity would be wasted in vain, and he rushed to the palace in a hurry, but it was in vain!

Seeing the two questions asked by Wang Ke in a row, Li Ke already understood the meaning of Wang Ke's actions, and without waiting for Wang Ke to speak, he asked the soldier first: "Then you can see the prince return to the palace here?" ”

Wang Ke asked just now, and the soldiers just thought that Wang Ke was just asking casually, but now seeing that His Royal Highness King Wu also opened his mouth to ask himself, he thought that Li Ke had something important to look for the prince, so he hurriedly replied to Li Ke: "I haven't seen the prince return to the palace, if there is half a lie, let His Royal Highness deal with it." ”

Wang Ke and Li Ke are very satisfied with the soldier's answer, now Wang Ke's plan can be carried out as usual, now the prince has to come up with a reason to excuse himself, otherwise it is estimated that he will have a bad time today!

Li Ke patted the soldier's shoulder, signaled that he was doing very well, turned around with a smile and walked into the palace 'gate' with Wang Ke.

When the two of them came to Comrade Li Er's imperial study, Li Ke remembered something, and hurriedly stopped and asked Wang Ke: "Brother Wang, when you see your father and emperor in a while, what should the younger brother say?" You can't just tell your father that the prince didn't go to the Weapons Preparation Bureau, wouldn't that be a direct complaint, it's not good to do that! ”

Wang Ke heard Li Ke say this, he couldn't help but give Li Ke a thumbs up, Li Ke really thought about this question too well, although saying it directly can also make the prince unable to eat and walk around, but the effect is definitely not so good, if you can change a statement, not only embarrass the prince, but also show that Li Ke respects the prince very much, the effect will definitely be much better than saying it directly, in the mind of Comrade Li Er, Li Ke can also increase a lot of impression points, which can also be for Li Ke and the prince to compete for favor in front of Comrade Li Er. plays an immeasurable role.

Wang Ke looked up at the imperial study and said to Li Ke in a low voice: "You are like this, after you go in for a while, you just said that today you took me to the Weapons Preparation Bureau to check, and walked to the place where the hot air balloon was made, only to know that the prince had not been there for several days, and you were afraid that the prince was in poor health, so he rushed into the palace, and wanted to ask the emperor if the prince's illness was serious, and asked the emperor to allow you to go to the East Palace to visit the prince." You remember, when you speak, you must appear to care about the prince very much, so that the emperor can feel that you are enthusiastic about the prince. ”

After listening to Wang Ke's words, Li Ke brewed his emotions for a while before nodding to Wang Ke and taking Wang Ke into Comrade Li Er's imperial study.
