When he got up in the morning, Zhao Hongrun once again inexplicably found that he was holding a sock that he had taken off last night in his mouth, which made him feel disgusted and couldn't help but wonder a little.

After all, this inexplicable thing happened a month ago.

"Did I go on a night trip last night?" Or is it ...... There were thieves here last night?'

Zhao Hongrun took a closer look, but he found that the precious ornaments in the house were not missing, and he didn't look like a thief at all.

Could it be that the thief broke through Su Wangwei's strict guards and broke into the house where he slept, just to stuff a sock in his mouth? Is there such a boring thief in the world?

"Sure enough, the possibility of nocturnal wandering syndrome is high......

"Why?" While getting up and dressing, Zhao Hongrun muttered in his mouth, you must know that the frog Gu in his body has stopped coming out like this recently, which makes his emotions gradually stabilize, and it stands to reason that the spirit should be very stable.

Putting on a new pair of socks, Zhao Hongrun came to the outer room and saw Zong Wei Gao Kuo, who was still sleeping on the bed.

It is a rare thing that Gao Gao, who has always been alert, sleeps like a dead pig.

"Gao Kuo? Hey, brackets? ”

"Huh?" Gao Kuo opened his hazy eyes, and reached out and scratched his neck with a dazed expression: "Your Highness is awake?" ”

"Is this infected by Chu Heng?"

Zhao Hongrun shook his head speechlessly, walked outside the hall by himself, and rinsed his mouth with the water in the stone spring.

When he returned to the house, he found Gao Kuo looking around suspiciously.

"What are you doing, Gao Gao?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.

I saw Gao Kuo looking around blankly, and said hesitantly: "I feel like a mosquito stung me last night......"

"Mosquitoes? Is there one? ”

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled, you must know that the climate in Dawei is cold, although it is now late June. It's autumn, but the climate is still not getting hot, but the rainy season is approaching and there is a lot of precipitation.

"Maybe the mosquitoes came earlier this year." Gao Kuo muttered to himself.

Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and walked out of the north house, as before. Take the carriage and go straight to the smelting bureau.

Because today, the Smelting Bureau is preparing to try to cast a mold for casting armor.

The melting and casting of armor molds is much more difficult than that of casting molds used to mass produce iron swords, and there are many technical problems that must be faced.

But Zhao Hongrun still believes that the craftsmen of his smelting bureau can overcome these problems.

And when Zhao Hongrun came to the Smelting Bureau with great interest, he found that Wang Fu, the director of the Smelting Bureau, was waiting in front of the office again.

This made Zhao Hongrun frown.

After all, because of this incident, Zhao Hongrun had already said Wang Fu once last time.

"His Royal Highness King Su has misunderstood, and the officials are waiting here because they have important things to do."

may have noticed the details of Zhao Hongrun's frown. Wang Fu hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's unswerving heart was slightly relieved, and he asked puzzledly: "Is it something important?" ”

Wang Fu nodded, and then whispered: "Li Jin, the bureau leader of the Bing Casting Bureau, came to my smelting bureau last night and begged to observe the process of mass production of iron swords by my smelting bureau. ”

Zhao Hongrun paused when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Wang Fu.

Seeing this, Wang Fu hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness King Su can rest assured. Without the consent of His Royal Highness, how dare the lower officials make assertions. Leaking the secrets of my smelting bureau? It's just that Li Jin......"

"He threatened you?" Zhao Hongrun frowned.

Wang Fu's face froze, and he said strangely: "It's a threat, but it's not, but if it's not a threat, his approach is ......" After a pause, he said with a wry smile: "Then Li Jin is consuming with the lower officials." said that he would not return to the military casting bureau, no, he was still sitting in the lower officer's room right now. ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wang Fu in astonishment, and asked incredulously, "Stayed overnight?" ”

"Not really! …… Thanks to him, Xia Guan didn't sleep all night yesterday. ”

Zhao Hongrun heard this. I can't help but think of the scene of Li Jin of the Replenishment Bureau and Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau sitting in the room with big eyes and staring at each other in my mind, and I can't help but be happy.

"The rumors are true...... This Li Jin is really more stubborn than his father! ”

Zhao Hongrun shook his head amusedly.

"Your Highness, ...... this matter"

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a while, then suddenly nodded and said, "Okay!" You will personally lead him later to observe the process of mass production of iron swords by our Smelting Bureau, and if Li Jin has any doubts during this period, you will try your best to solve his doubts. ”

"Your Highness? This ......" Wang Fu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to speak.

As if he had seen through Wang Fu's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Wang Jucheng's intentions are understood by the king, but we have to take a long-term view......

Wang Fu glanced at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously, his eyes rolled, and an unbelievable thought suddenly jumped in his heart, and he couldn't help but say with wide eyes: "Your Highness, it's hard to ......."

"Shh Zhao Hongrun made a gesture of silence, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Remember to let Li Jin personally understand the gap between the technological strength of his military casting bureau and my smelting bureau." ”

"Xiaguan understands......" Wang Fu smiled.

At this time, he already knew in his heart: it turned out that His Royal Highness King Su intended to absorb the War Casting Bureau, and if he really wanted to do so, then the attitude of Li Jin, the Minister of the War Casting Bureau, became particularly important.

In order to subdue a stubborn and proud person like Li Jin, you must first destroy the pride in his heart, for example, to show off the craftsmanship level of the Smelting Bureau.

In short, it is necessary for Li Jin to understand that only by following the footsteps of the Smelting Bureau can the technological level of his Arsenal Bureau be further improved.

"Then the Military Construction Agency......" Wang Fu looked at Zhao Hongrun in confusion, and said in his heart, Isn't His Highness going to want the Military Construction Agency?

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun gave him a roll of the eyes: The plan can't catch up with the changes, if it can absorb the military casting bureau, then what else does the military construction bureau need?

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand."

Wang Fu left willingly, and before leaving, he seemed to think of something, and turned around and said to Zhao Hongrun: "By the way, Your Highness, a little father-in-law sent by the Vertical Gong Hall is waiting in His Highness's room. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun was stunned in his heart, and then nodded: "This king knows, you can go." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Fu walked away. Looking at his departing back, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but wonder a little.

Obviously, most of the little eunuchs who were in charge of the inner chamberlain were here to convey the ruling of the Vertical Arch Palace, but recently there was nothing else in the Smelting Bureau except for Wang Fu's letter to implore the establishment of the "Military Construction Bureau".

With all kinds of speculation, Zhao Hongrun came to the house where he was handling official business. Sure enough, a little eunuch and two Praetorian Guards were waiting in the room.

"His Royal Highness King Su!"

After seeing Zhao Hongrun leading several guards into the house, the little eunuch and the two Praetorian Guards who were sitting on a chair in the room and waiting hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhao Hongrun.

"You don't have to be formal." Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand, and asked the little eunuch: "This little father-in-law came to my smelting bureau, I don't know what happened?" ”

I saw that the little eunuch took out a chapter fold from his arms, respectfully handed it to Zhao Hongrun, and said: "Back to His Royal Highness King Su, Your Majesty has a holy message for Your Highness." ”

Zhao Hongrun took the holy edict. A paperwork letter, stamped with Wei Tianzi's private seal.

To be honest, the specifications of this private edict are not as good as the holy decree, but the meaning is the same, after all, it was written by the monarch of the Great Wei State.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun paused for a moment, and immediately spread out the chapter fold to take a look, but just by taking a cursory glance, his two eyebrows instantly condensed. The little eunuch who was curious about the contents of the letter was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Your Highness?"

Zong Wei Gao Kuo sensed that something was wrong with his royal highness, and reminded him appropriately.

See here. Zhao Hongrun put away the chapter fold and said expressionlessly: "Go back to the Vertical Arch Palace, just say that this king knows!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zong Wei Gao Kuo took out some silver ingots from his sleeve and stuffed them into the little eunuch and the two guards, and the three of them thanked him again and again.

After the three of them have left with a thousand thanks. Gao Kuo turned around and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun staring at the chapter fold in his hand expressionlessly, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that His Royal Highness Vertical Gong ordered me to let the Smelting Bureau teach the new process of mass-producing weapons to the Arsenal Bureau." ”

"This ......"

The color of the bracket changes slightly. With wide eyes, Zhao Hongrun looked expressionlessly and put the chapter fold on the candle flame and burned it to the ground.

In fact, it was burned out at the same time, as well as Zhao Hongrun's enthusiasm.

"Is it because I'm thinking too simply?"

Zhao Hongrun sat sullenly on the chair for a moment, and after half a ring, he ordered: "Gao Kuo, call Wang Fu over!" ”

“…… Be! ”

After a while, Wang Fu came to this room with a puzzled face, and it could be seen that he was really a little confused, after all, he was just following Zhao Hongrun's order to "abduct" Li Jin, but he didn't expect that before he could lead Li Jin to observe the process of mass production of iron swords, Zhao Hongrun called him back again.

And behind Wang Fu, there was also Li Jin, the director of the Bing Casting Bureau, who was frowning and looking a little unpleasant, who seemed to be dissatisfied because Zhao Hongrun interrupted Wang Fu to signal him to the process of the Smelting Bureau.

"Didn't His Royal Highness King Su regret it and be honest about the craftsmanship of your office to an outsider like Li?"

I have to say that Li Jin's temper is more stinky than that of Li Yan, the secretary of his Lao Tzu Military Department, and he doesn't care about the identity of Zhao Hongrun Su Wang at all, and he sneers on the side.

However, to Li Jin's surprise, Zhao Hongrun glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "This king has just received an edict from the Vertical Arch Palace, asking me to teach you the new process of mass production of weapons from the Smelting Bureau...... Li Jucheng might as well return to the military casting bureau and study it slowly. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Jin's face was full of astonishment, and he was a little dumbfounded: "Su...... Your Royal Highness, you ...... You're kidding Lee, right? ”

was also stunned, as well as Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau.

"Are you kidding?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Li Jin and snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Looking at the face of this king, does Lord Li still think that this king is joking?!" ”

"......" Li Jin opened his mouth, couldn't help but restrain his arrogance, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Su, Li really doesn't know about this matter...... Mr. Wang can testify for Mr. Li, who has not left since he arrived at your office yesterday......"

It's a pity that before he could finish explaining, he was interrupted by Zhao Hongrun raising his hand.

"Okay, even if it has nothing to do with you, it can't be separated from your military department......" Zhao Hongrun stood up, looked at Li Jin and said lightly: "Next, your department will play slowly by yourself, I will not accompany the Smelting Bureau!" …… Drop-off! ”

"This ...... His Royal Highness the King of Su? ”

Li Jin seemed to want to say something, but unfortunately Wang Fu, who had a bad face, blocked in front of him: "Lord Li, please." ”

Looking at Wang Fu and Zhao Hongrun, Li Jin felt a burst of burning heat on his face.

Although he somehow got the new process of mass production of iron swords from the Smelting Bureau, Li Jin didn't feel happy at all in his heart.

Li Jin, who lost his soul and left the smelting bureau, only felt ashamed in his heart. (To be continued.) )
