Chapter 246: The Emperor Becomes Suspicious
Although An He did not become a patent secretary, he was very interested in the newly appointed Xu Jingzong, who was also a celebrity in history, and Li Yifu was known as the two major thugs under Wu Zetian, and was the most critical person in pushing Wu Zetian's position.

It's just that what makes An He cry and laugh is that now Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, the two big thugs, have been brought to the patent department by themselves, and they have also become colleagues, these two people are more treacherous than the other, let them get together to manage the patent department, which makes An He really a little worried, I don't know if the patent department that he managed to get together will be sold by these two traitors?
In the Liangyi Hall of Taiji Palace, Li Xiaojiu sat behind the bookcase, the look on his face was a little strange, he seemed to be a little angry, and he seemed to be a little excited.
After a long while, Zhang Xingcheng stepped forward to break the silence and said:
"Your Majesty, this matter of patent law, Wei Chen ......"
"Zhang Xiang, you don't have to explain!"
Before Zhang Xingcheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xiaojiu's words.
"I know that Mrs. Zhang has invested a lot of money in the coal, but don't you know your character? The reason why you strongly support the promulgation of the Patent Law is because I know the benefits of the implementation of this law. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your trust!"
Zhang Xingcheng burst into tears of excitement, Chapter 86 of the Patent Law this time An He is leaving Chang'an? Although it is not clear why they did this, it must be related to the interests of Shitan, and Zhang Xingcheng's wife also invested a lot of money in Shitan, before he vigorously supported the passage of the patent law in the court, for fear that Li Xiaojiu would misunderstand, so he opened his mouth to explain, I didn't expect Li Xiaojiu to trust him so much.
"Your Majesty, although the patent law is a good law, the impact of this matter is really bad, if it is not punished, it will really damage the majesty of Your Majesty!"
The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and said with an angry face.
"Uncle, you ......"
Li Xiaojiu looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji a little helplessly. They all knew that An He was secretly promoting the promulgation of the patent law, and it was indeed very beautiful, encouraging most of the upper echelons of Datang to pass the promulgation of the patent law with an absolute advantage in the court. However, An He didn't think about it at all, what would this matter make Li Xiaojiu think?
As an emperor, Li Xiaojiu definitely didn't want a person to appear in the court, and he could bring most of the princes and dignitaries together, although he only passed a law that he thought was somewhat beneficial, but this incident had already made Li Xiaojiu vigilant. Although the other party was a courtier he trusted, he still felt a threat.
Seeing the uncertain look on Li Xiaojiu's face, the eldest grandson Wuji was anxious, and now An He is getting more and more favored by His Majesty. Now that he finally has such a good opportunity to suppress An He, of course he will not let it go easily.
Come to think of it. The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down again and said with a sad face:
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that you love Anhe, but if you continue to let King Liang do this, you will definitely do something in the future."
"Enough!"
The eldest grandson Wuji's words were very harsh, and he almost didn't directly say that An He was plotting against him. In the end, Li Xiaojiu really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he broke off and interrupted the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his face also showed anger.
If others dare to say those things just now. I'm afraid that Li Xiaojiu would have been arrested and questioned a long time ago.
Li Xiaojiu counted down for a long time, and finally sat down angrily, and after a while, he looked up at the eldest grandson Wuji, who had a gray face, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he said:
"Two Aiqing, regarding the matter of patent law, An He has indeed gone too far, and I will deal with it as appropriate."
"Your Majesty, An and he are young after all, although this time he did not think about it, but there is nothing obvious wrong, if he is rashly punished, I am afraid it will be ......"
Zhang Xingcheng, who had been silent, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard that Li Xiaojiu was going to punish An He, he had an excellent impression of An He, and he also attached great importance to An He's talents, so he didn't want An He to be punished for not thinking about things this time.
"It's not just this time that he doesn't think about it, if he tells me in advance this time, won't there be nothing?"
Li Xiaojiu also has some qi, Anhe is good at everything, but he is too impulsive when he does things, and he does some things as soon as his brain is hot, and he doesn't think about the consequences of things at all.
Li Xiaojiu thought about it when he said this, and then said:
"Anhe's age is not too young, and it is time to send him to the place to experience it."
"Your Majesty is wise, An Zhonglang will be a young talent, if you don't go to the place to experience it, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a great weapon in the future."
Hearing Li Xiaojiu's words, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately rejoiced.
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Xingcheng glanced at him slightly, and secretly sneered in his heart, of course, the little abacus of the eldest grandson Wuji could not escape his eyes.
"If you don't send him there, you have to think about it."
Li Xiaojiu said thoughtfully.
Last time, for the sake of patent law, An He promised Duan Lun to help the Ministry of Industry improve the technology of iron smelting and steelmaking. Originally, as soon as the patent law was passed, Duan Lun sent someone to find Anhe.
Duan Lun had been waiting for An He in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and as soon as he saw him come in, he immediately took An He to a large workshop behind the Ministry of Industry, this workshop was a little special, because the craftsmen in it were all high-grade officials. They were all promoted to technical officials because of their skill, and the content of their work was to use their exquisite skills. Improvements to current processes or technologies. It is equivalent to a research institute in later generations. The first time An He came to the Ministry of Industry, he knew about the existence of this big workshop, but because of secrecy, even he couldn't enter without Duan Lun's permission.
After entering this large workshop, An He looked around curiously, and found that it covers a huge area, and according to the different industries, it is divided into many areas, such as papermaking, construction, weaving and dyeing, ceramics, etc., and there are as few as three or four people in each area, and dozens of people in each area, or busy or discussing, it looks like a very busy scene.
The smelting area where An He and the others were going was in the very center, and it was still a long way away, and An He saw several tall furnaces standing there, and there seemed to be people walking around on them. Anhe knows that this is a blast furnace used to make iron, the technology of blast furnace ironmaking has appeared in the Han Dynasty, and it has developed into a very mature iron-smelting technology in the Tang Dynasty.
"Jiao Xing, the director of the Ministry of Works, see Lord Shangshu!"
The director in charge of the smelting area saw Duan Lun and immediately ran up to salute, this Jiao director has gray hair and looks like he is over sixty years old, he may have been smoky and burned all year round, his two cloudy eyes are red, and his back is slightly hunched, but his spirit looks good.
"Director Jiao doesn't need to be polite!"
Duan Lun said with a smile, then stretched out his hand and pointed at An He and introduced, "This is the famous General An Zhonglang, who is here this time to help you improve your smelting technology." ”
Seeing that An He was a Zhonglang general at such a young age, Master Jiao was startled and immediately bowed down, but when he heard that An He came to help them improve their smelting techniques, this old Jiao's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a faint look of disdain flashed in his eyes, but his face was not revealed at all.
