Chapter 289: Cheng Ji's True Identity

Sun Qinian was holding a newly made machine in his hand, and he was about to bring it to Bai Qianning to take a look, so as soon as he entered the door, he put the machine on the ground and began to say with a mysterious face: "How do you know that I have made a new machine?" ”

"New machines?" Bai Qianning turned his head to look at the machine, but he didn't feel novel, and deliberately said lightly: "It's just a heater, there is no technical content, but in this season, it is still extremely useful, thank you Sun Gongzi." ”

"Hey! Why is there no technical content? Do you know how hard I struggled to find this hot metal? "Sun Qinian is unhappy, a fart. He sat down in his chair, like a deflated ball.

Bai Qianning smiled, and only said: "I know that Sun Gongzi is capable, and now I invite you to trouble you to develop a very important thing for me, if this thing is developed, it will benefit the whole world, especially a literati like Sun Gongzi." ”

As soon as the word literati was mentioned, Sun Qinian immediately sat up straight, and there was an inexplicable sense of elegance on his body.

Bai Qianning looked at his reaction, only feeling full of joy, she said to him: "Sun Gongzi should know movable type printing, right?" It's a delicate thing, but it's not that hard to do, and I have a ready-made carpenter here......"

Halfway through the words, Sun Qinian became excited, and then said: "Movable type printing? Don't say it, I've been researching it for a long time, but it's still a half-finished product, and I'll think about it when I get back. ”

"Oh? That's hard work. Bai Qianning was happy, and finally stood up and walked towards the heater next to Sun Qinian, looked at it carefully, and said to him: "Is the heating material that Sun Gongzi is using now?" In fact, you can also try graphene, graphene not only conducts heat better than aluminum. The thermal speed is better in all aspects, you can go back and try it. And if you want to do any other machines in the future, if you want to find materials, you may be able to ask me, in our modern times, many of the materials are very advanced, and I know a little about it. ”

"Graphene? Okay, then I'll try it now. After Sun Qinian finished speaking, he stood up and hugged the machine and went out of the door, and when he walked to the door, he turned his head and left a sentence: "I have written down the matter of movable type printing, give me three days." ”

After that, the person disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

Just at this time, Shangguan Qingyun came, and Bai Qianning explained to them in detail what movable type printing was and what was the wonderful. Listening to Bai Qianning's description, although he had not seen the real finished product, Shangguan Qingyun was already amazed.

"There has never been a shortage of talented craftsmen in this world, recalling that day. Your mother is also a very clever person, especially incense making, hey! It's a pity that ......" Shangguan Qingyun spoke, his expression unconsciously darkened. In addition to being sad, he shook his head and smiled: "It is said that since ancient times, the whole palace was poured for her when your mother first entered the palace, and now even the portrait that Yeluchen painted for her back then has been lost." ”

Listening to Shangguan Qingyun sadly mention his mother's concubine, Zhan Qianche's eyes gradually dimmed, but when he mentioned the painting again, he said: "I have a portrait of my mother's concubine here, it should be the one that the old gentleman said was lost." ”

Zhan Qianche said that, he got up and went to the bedroom, took out the portrait of Baili Shuanghua, and spread it out on the table.

The beautiful appearance of Baili Shuanghua jumped on the paper, even if it was just under the light of the candle fire and oil lamp, it was difficult to hide the beautiful color. Shangguan Qingyun looked at the picture scroll in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet. Run, he trembled and put his fingers on the two lines of the poem, and muttered: "A hundred miles of frost flies away, and every step is a grand scene." ”

"It's this painting, it's been so many years, I didn't expect this painting to happen to you by chance."

Bai Qianning looked at Shangguan Qingyun's expression through the candlelight, she secretly felt a little strange, and then a thought flashed out. Could it be that this old gentleman Shangguan was also one of his mother-in-law's admirers back then? It's just that this thought is just a flash, and Bai Qianning is not deep. Think about it.

She came back to her senses, and listened to Zhan Qianche explain: "Coincidentally, this painting was found in Cheng Ji's belongings, this Cheng Ji is a son of a businessman, so I think I should have bought it from someone else." ”

"Cheng Ji? Is that the owner of your mask? Shangguan Qingyun couldn't help but straighten up and asked Zhan Qianche. The look on his face was also a little more hesitant.

Zhan Qianche didn't know why he asked like this, so he nodded and said, "According to Han Yubing, this Cheng Ji came to Chechi County to do business, and she happened to die in her flower building, so she took off this person's face and made this mask." How? Does the old gentleman recognize this person? ”

Listening to the question, Shangguan Qingyun shook his head slightly, thinking quietly, and soon, when his gaze fell on Zhan Qianche's masked face, his eyes shrank slightly and suddenly remembered something, and only asked: "Has this Cheng Ji been staying in Jibei?" Chechi County, which came not long ago? ”

"How does the old gentleman know?" Zhan Qianche hurriedly asked.

Shangguan Qingyun looked at the inscription on the picture scroll of Baili Shuanghua and asked him with a smile: "Do you know Yeluchen, the monarch of the Heavenly Seal Kingdom?" ”

"I know, according to legend, the picture scroll of the mother concubine was painted by him, what? Does this Cheng Ji have any connection with Yeluchen? ”

"If nothing else, this Cheng Ji should be the prince of the Heavenly Seal Kingdom and the second son of Yeluchen." Shangguan Qingyun spoke, slowly falling into memories, and while he was reminiscing, he slowly said some things in the past.

It turned out that Cheng Ji's real identity was the second prince of Tianxi Kingdom, and his biological mother was Baili Shuanghua's own sister, but he was sent to Jibei County in Ye State since he was a teenager, and quietly hid his identity to collect information about Ye State and pass it back to China.

"So, the Heavenly Seal Kingdom has been secretly planting fine works in the Ye Kingdom all along? What exactly do they want to do? ”

Zhan Qianche only felt shocked in his heart, according to the situation back then, someone could pass on information under his nose, which was really incredible.

Listening to his questioning, Shangguan Qingyun thought for a moment, as if he didn't want to mention something, but finally shook his head and said, "That's it, I'll tell you everything back then." In fact, your mother was supposed to marry Yeluchen, but she was snatched away by the emperor and snatched into the palace, and then your mother gave birth to you, and the emperor treated her well, so she willingly stayed by the emperor's side, but Yeluchen has always been obsessed with this matter, and the hatred of taking his wife eventually evolved into a fight. ”

"So the great war between the Heavenly Seal Kingdom and the Ye Kingdom more than twenty years ago was caused by the mother concubine?" Zhan Qianche still remembered that he was still young at the time, but even so, there were still several scenes in his memory of his mother kneeling on the ground and begging his father in pain.

"The Tianxi Kingdom was far less prosperous than it is today, Yeluchen raised troops to invade the Ye Kingdom, almost poured the strength of the whole country, the first emperor heard the news, and immediately sent the general Zhenyuan, the hussar general together to lead the troops to suppress, at that time it was almost overwhelming to drive the army of the Tianxi Kingdom back. Later, Yeluchen saw that a direct attack could not be done, so he changed his strategy and no longer launched a large-scale war, but ordered the border army to attack and harass the Ye garrison every once in a while, which was repeated for three whole years, making the border between the two countries unstable.

Later, the emperor was annoyed and sent someone to directly hold Yeluchen hostage, your mother heard the news, and begged bitterly in front of the emperor for a few days, and the emperor ordered someone to put Yeluchen back, but also put down the words, if the Tianxi Kingdom. If the army did not stop, it was about to be annexed by troops, and then Jeruchen stopped. It's just that it has obviously stopped, but Ye Luchen, who has never been reconciled, began to lie down and taste courage again, and started to set up a detailed work in Ye Country and collect information, just waiting for the development of the Heavenly Seal Kingdom, and then regrouping, and using the collected information to wait for an opportunity to attack Ye State again. ”

Hearing this, Zhan Qianche gradually understood, but he also had doubts in his heart, he gave Shangguan Qingyun a cup of tea and asked: "It's just that now that the mother concubine has been dead for many years, if this Yeluchen is really infatuated to this point, he should have raised troops to avenge his mother five years ago, how could he wait until today, his prince also killed Ye Guo, and he has not yet moved troops?" ”
