Shao Yi opened his mouth, as if he couldn't explain clearly.

"Next time, next time Your Highness will come to the kiln again, let the craftsman operate two tools for His Highness on the spot, and demonstrate how the tools of the Xia family's grinding workshop are different from others." Shao Yi said.

"Next time?" Taisun hesitated for a while before saying, "Deputy Lieutenant Shao, can we go to the restaurant next time?" I haven't been to a restaurant or a tea shop yet. ”

Shao Yi immediately straightened up: "This matter, it doesn't matter if you say it, Your Highness has to ask the emperor." ”

"The emperor's grandfather said that the king's travel matters are all arranged by Deputy Lieutenant Shao." Taisun insisted.

Shao Yi spread his hands and said, "If you let the lowly post be arranged, of course, you must arrange the safest place for His Highness to go down." ”

Taisun looked at Shao Yi with a small face, the safest place was the Yanwang Mansion, and even the palace didn't dare to say that it was safe. But Yanwang's Mansion is very boring, it can be said that it is too boring.

The restaurants and tea shops he heard Xia Han talk about were so lively, lively and vibrant.

He also wanted to sit in the restaurant and look at the lively street market, and see the bright cars and horses passing by and the folk peddlers and pawns.

Shao Yi touched his head rarely, and said, "You are already very lucky, you can walk around and play at will in such a big workshop." If His Royal Highness can come out again, I will go to Lord Xia to discuss and take you to Lord Xia's mansion for a walk, or you can have lunch in the Xia Mansion, and after taking a nap, I will send you back to the palace.

As for other places, Your Highness should not think about it. His Royal Highness can grow up to such a big time safely, His Royal Highness's mother must have broken her heart, if you make some accidents because of your playfulness, how will Your Highness's mother live in the future? ”

Taisun was not used to someone touching his head, so he was very resistant. But when he heard Shao Yi say something, he lowered his head and was silent.

Sending the grandson into the previous house, Shao Yi looked at the sky, it was not yet noon. He didn't delay any longer, and directly ordered the coachman to turn around and go to the palace.

The Emperor had already finished his morning's work, intending to soothe his muscles and bones, and then pass the meal after resting.

But I heard the eunuch report that Shao Yi asked to see.

Ordinary officials from the seventh rank are not qualified to get such timely communication. It's just that Shao Yi's errand is different now, the eunuch on duty at the palace gate has been ordered by the big eunuch, but whenever Deputy Lieutenant Shao asks for an audience, and the emperor can't see it, he must pass the news in.

When the emperor heard that it was Shao Yi, he frowned and asked Sun Congshan: "Didn't you say that everything is going well, has King Yan already returned to that mansion?" How did he come over as soon as the news of his safety arrived? ”

Sun Congshan didn't understand either, but when the emperor asked, he still had to answer: "King Yan should have returned to the house at this time, and there is no problem with safety." Vice Lieutenant Shao has always acted in a measured manner, so please see you at this time, Xu is another important matter. ”

The emperor glanced at Sun Congshan, Shao Yi's popularity was actually quite good.

"Then declare it."

Shao Yi entered the hall, stood up after kneeling, and stood aside in a proper manner.

From the time he entered the door, all the way to his knees and stood there. It looks calm and calm, without the slightest anxiety, and it should be nothing serious.

There is no big event, the disturbing silence of the middle of the day?

The emperor did not give him a seat, and asked, "But what is the matter?" "If it doesn't matter, should you beat him a few boards as a punishment?

Shao Yi bowed: "Weichen knows an important artifact today, and this thing has a lot to do with it. That's why Weichen was in a hurry to ask for a meeting and discuss with His Majesty. ”

Let's discuss? The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not small, and he dared to say to him, the Ninety-Five, that he wanted to discuss?

Sun Congshan glanced at the emperor quickly. The two palace maids and the little eunuch who served the emperor closely, their heads hung lower.

"You say." The Emperor's tone was flat. Sun Congshan and other people who served the emperor close noticed that the emperor didn't say anything like that, forgive you for your innocence.

Shao Yi raised his head slightly, looked at the palace maid and the little eunuch in the room, and hesitated: "Can Wei Chen report this matter to His Majesty in private?" ”

There's a lot going on.

The emperor waved his hand at a few people and waved them back, leaving only the emperor, Shao Yi and Sun Congshan in the room.

"Long story short, I don't have a lot of time." The emperor was expressionless.

"Weichen accompanied King Yan to the Xia family kiln today, and listened to Xia's Yanqing mention that she accidentally overlapped two uneven pieces of glass, and found that this kind of overlap with different distances can see the scenery far away."

Shao Yi said as he watched the emperor's face, and saw that the emperor frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

He continued: "Xia Yanqing guesses that if this performance is used for experiments, it will probably be able to make artifacts equivalent to clairvoyance. ”

As soon as the word clairvoyance popped out, the emperor didn't react, Sun Congshan's figure had already moved, and his lowered eyes were full of shock.

Did he hear him right? Clairvoyance, the Xia who made glass actually dared to say that she could make clairvoyance?

Shao Yi saw Sun Congshan's reaction in his eyes, but he didn't see any change in the emperor's expression, so he added, "If there really is such an artifact, you can see the details beyond the eye can see." If this item is used in the army, it should be able to detect the enemy's movements in advance, so that our side can dispatch men and horses to the enemy as soon as possible, and it is also convenient for the scouts in the army to monitor the enemy's situation. ”

In fact, when the emperor heard the clairvoyance, his heart trembled, and various thoughts in his mind had begun to churn, flashing the various uses of the clairvoyant.

This includes military applications.

It's just that Xia can really make this kind of thing? The Xia clan controls the folk craftsman workshop, can such a divine object be made in the folk workshop?

It wasn't until Shao Yi finished speaking that the emperor raised his eyes and asked, "How sure are the Xia clans that they can make this kind of artifact?" How did you bring it up? ”

Shao Yi bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, today, a silver building shopkeeper who is used to cooperating with Qingyun Zhai went to negotiate the purchase of the Xia family's grinding tools...... When it comes to grinding tools and polishing the character of craftsmen, Xia Yanqing and Weichen put forward the idea of making clairvoyance. ”

Shao Yi told the emperor the rhetoric he had discussed with Xia Yanqing before.

“…… Xia Yanqing had this idea a long time ago, but he knew that this matter was important and not applicable to the people, so he didn't put the idea into practice for a long time. ”

The emperor's eyes were dark, and the thoughts in his heart were constantly weighing.

Shao Yi bowed down and spoke, while observing the emperor's expression, for fear that the emperor would intervene and say a decision that could not be reversed, and hurriedly continued: "Today, when it comes to polishing the craftsman's reliable character, Xia's Tuoweichen asks Your Majesty that the clairvoyance will be developed by Qingyunzhai's workshop, and it will only be secretly supplied to the imperial court, and your Majesty will only allow her to continue to do glass business." ”

The emperor raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Xia, is this talking to me about conditions?" ”
