Chapter 213: The Carriage
Zhiwan is very helpless, there is a lingering sadness in her eyes, although she is the princess of the county and has two children, but she has not experienced the pain of having a bad child, she does not have that kind of maturity and stability, she also wants to go to the cave house of others!
She also prepared a lot of fun programs, but when she saw so many people talking and laughing seriously, when Chu Huan was about to come over to pull her, she was bombarded by Mrs. Chu, her heart was very aggrieved, Mrs. Chu, I'm not afraid of being disturbed, I also want to play!
Under the sorrow, Zhiwan drank one cup after another, this is the rice wine bought by the rice wine shop, mellow and mild, there is not much rice in it, mainly water.
There is also fruit wine, the aroma of the wine is overflowing, which makes people praise it greatly, saying that even the palace is fully prepared, everyone eats very happily, and the first place where the rice wine is launched is on the water side, Chu Huan, Rong Qingxu and the county lord of Ji Ning are close to Zhiwan, and they began to ask her for the secret of doing business.
Under normal circumstances, these noble ladies will not ask these questions in public, after all, there are * shares, but since the late construction of the water side, everyone's vision has changed, in fact, it is not ashamed to make money, the court wants to fight, but there is a lack of money, that is really shameful, on the water side casually took out 1.6 million taels, this courage, waiting for idle people?
In the past, for Princess Yuejun, everyone went from sympathy to envy and jealousy to contempt and then to admiration, but now it is the point where they look up, don't forget, King Yuejun is the eldest prince!
The popular candidate for the crown prince, and even said that it is in the pocket of the king of Yuejun, this is the future prospective crown princess. Queen-to-be......
What an honor it was to have the privilege of having dinner at the same table with the future queen, even though the queen often gave them banquets. But in the end, each eats its own, can you make it a chopstick for the queen, and you can clip the nearby dishes? You can do it now!
Seeing that everyone was cautious when talking to her, she didn't know the taste of food at night, and then listened to the tea and stammered, some of them were like wax, and they didn't let people eat well?
Eating fish at night. Someone told her to be careful with shark fins, but you just need to tell her. There's no need to tell her who got the shark fin stuck in the end, right, and how did she swallow it?
Zhiwan drank all the rice wine in one gulp, and the little maid stepped forward to pour the wine, and Zhiwan served it. was about to drink it, suddenly the tip of his nose moved, put down the wine glass, looked back at the little girl, it was estimated that there was no wine in the wine jug, and the little girl walked away.
Zhiwan got up busily, caught up with the little maid in three or two steps, took off the wine jug, and the little maid's face was pale with fright. A little at a loss to look at Zhiwan.
Zhiwan looked at her with a smile and walked towards the princess. Mandarin duck pot, how could she not know how to use it?
personally poured a glass of wine for Princess Xiang, poured herself another glass, and saluted her, "Princess Xiang, I toast you." It is said that it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, so the prince and I should have a glass of wine and enmity! ”
Princess Xiang sat there. A little restless, she can not drink the toast of the king of Yuejun, but who of you does not know that the king of Yuejun is the eldest prince, she is the princess, and she is the wine of enmity, she can't help but drink, but this is a mandarin duck pot, which contains wine that seals the throat with blood!
Zhiwan wants to make amends, there is really no need to be in front of so many people, just accompany a gift in private, but in front of the full house, this is enough to give the face of the Xiangwangfu, as long as the princess drinks the wine, the king of Yuejun will definitely not look for the stubble of the Xiangwangfu in the future, who does not praise the generosity of Zhiwan, and then look at the princess Xiang's gloomy face, her hands are tightly clenched, just don't drink, everyone stopped chopsticks and looked at her curiously.
Princess Xiang is not stupid, Princess Yuejun apologized to her, and she didn't hurry up to climb down the pole, so she treated the king of Yuejun from the emperor's attitude, the king of the county, and the son was crowned the prince, what a weight this is, the princess of the county was so low-voiced, it was an apology and a trick, she didn't give face in every way, didn't she really have the intention to rebel, right?
Zhiwan raised a wine glass to Princess Xiang, becoming more and more overwhelmed, pursed her lips and looked at her, "I know that King Xiang is the biological son of the Queen Mother, and the prince of the county caught King Xiang's private raising of soldiers and horses, so that King Xiang's intentional rebellion is known to everyone, and I also know that if there is no Xianggong here, the position of the prince is ten * The four princes, but Xianggong is the son of the emperor, as long as the emperor admits this, no one can deny this, Princess Xiang does not drink my wine of atonement, is it because I think the emperor should not love my father-in-law so much, Complaining about the emperor's intention to recognize the eldest prince? Or do you blame me for mixing up the good things of the king? ”
Zhiwan's words said that the princess's forehead was bruised, and the gasps came and went, the king is the son of the queen mother, the emperor is not the queen mother's own child, the queen mother wants her son to be the emperor, this is completely possible, the king of the prime minister's private raising of soldiers and horses, everyone knows, the emperor also punished him, the three thousand art of war is now the palace soldiers of the king of Yuejun, this is a matter of making wedding dresses for others, whether it is a rebellion or robbing the soldiers and horses of the king of Xiang, the palace of the king of Xiang can't swallow this breath should also be.
It's just that it's okay if you're not satisfied in your heart, but you don't have to do it on the surface, right? Princess Xiang is too stupid.
Several ladies from the Qingyang Hou Mansion who came to help were busy coming over to play the round, and even the princess even helped Princess Xiang pick up the wine glass and handed it to Princess Xiang, but she was slapped by Princess Xiang, "I don't drink!" ”
Fortunately, Princess Lian held it tightly, and the wine was only spilled, Zhiwan grinned, took the wine glass in Princess Lian's hand, drank it all, and said with a smile, "I know what Princess Xiang is worried about, is she worried that I will be poisoned?" I want to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, but even the king of the county is my good brother, even if I am not satisfied, I will not stir up his wedding banquet, such an inferior means of the mandarin duck pot, the princess is still rarely used, not everyone is as stupid as you, come on, send the wine jug to the emperor! ”
Princess Xiang's face was like ashes, her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat, and even the princess's face was not much better, looking at Princess Xiang's eyes was like a skate, "You! You are looking for death by yourself, don't take the Lian Wangfu to give you a funeral! ”
A secret guard had already come over to get the wine jug and took the poisoned maid away, as for Princess Xiang, there was no need to take it away.
Everyone still doesn't understand that Princess Yuejun has done this. Princess Xiang insists on not drinking, she dares to know that the wine is poisonous, and this person's mind is too poisonous. Borrowing a knife to kill people, if the princess of Yuejun dies at the wedding banquet, it will be strange that the princess of Yuejun can get rid of the princess by virtue of the king of Yuejun's doting on the princess of the county, this is to push the princess into the fire pit!
Fortunately, the princess of the county was smart and noticed that there was a difference in the drink, and even the princess came over to apologize to Zhiwan. Zhiwan smiled, "I know it's not the princess who hurt me." It's time for me to apologize for disturbing everyone's banquet, so let's sit down and continue. ”
Zhiwan entered the table, and the wine glass had already been replaced. But everyone still had lingering palpitations about the mandarin duck pot, and they didn't dare to drink anymore.
Princess Xiang couldn't bear everyone's eyes, so she left early, and when she left, she was filled with a heavy dead air.
Everyone looked at her with sympathy, but there was also a hint of deserving in her eyes. If you harm others, you should have such an awareness, if you can't harm others, you will die.
Not to mention. She is the future crown princess, the future queen, you murdered her, and you were accused in public of being rebelled, once the wine pot is in the hands of the emperor, no one can save the prince's mansion.
Even the little episode of the palace. It was thrilling, but no one bothered the lingering people.
Let's eat. went home separately, and Princess Lian was not so breezy as she knew the night, because she saw the wrong person, and almost brought disaster to Lian Wangfu, and when she sent off the guests, her smile was still a little reluctant.
When he got out of the carriage at night, when he walked halfway down the road, Leng Mu stepped forward and said, "Princess Jun, when Princess Xiang went back in a sedan chair, she passed by Tianling Bridge and committed suicide. ”
first borrowed a knife to kill people, and then wanted to abandon the car to protect the handsome, how could it be so easy, "Are you dead?" ”
Leng Mu shook his head, "It's not dead, is it sent directly to the palace?" ”
Zhiwan nodded, and Leng Mu left.
Zhiwan closed the curtain of the carriage door, tore a thin veil from it, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
After another quarter of an hour, the road became less and less crowded, and suddenly the horses neighed.
Arrows came from all directions, and the six guards who accompanied them struggled to drop arrows with their swords, but there were still many arrows shooting towards the carriage, but when they hit the carriage, they all made a stabbing sound and then fell.
Zhiwan's carriage looked luxurious and ordinary, just covered with a layer of luxurious brocade, but in fact, it was made of stainless steel, which was as thick as half a thumb, how could an ordinary bow and arrow shoot through it?
The curtain in front of the door is deducted with heavenly silk, and a layer of folded steel can be pulled up on both sides to protect it, as long as the secret guard does not die, she will definitely be able to return to Zhennan Wangfu safely.
After a long while, the fighting outside stopped, and Leng Mu's muffled voice came, "Princess Jun, they're leaving." ”
Zhiwan opened the carriage curtain, looked at the arrow on his arm, and frowned, "Is the carriage behind okay?" ”
Leng Mu shook his head, "Their goal is to assassinate you, the princess of the county, and the carriage behind is fine." ”
Zhiwan nodded and looked at him worriedly, "You bear with it first, and I'll treat you when I go back later." ”
Leng Mu shook his head again and again, "The subordinates can bear it." ”
Three guards were killed, four were wounded, and the carriage drove back to Zhennan Wangfu.
The incident of the princess of Yuejun encountering the assassins blew all over Kyoto, and several wives of the Zhennan palace were frightened, fortunately they did not come back together, otherwise if those assassins did not have long eyes and shot them, how unjustly they would have to die!
When Zhiwan returned to the palace, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and she was afraid that she would be frightened, so Yao's mother boiled the frightened decoction and forced her to drink it, while Zheng's mother scolded.
Mother Zheng rarely scolds, and even counts the maids' affairs, they are all mild, this time she is really angry, and she is glad again, "Fortunately, the princess of the county is prepared, otherwise if you have a case, the prince of the county returns from the expedition, how should you explain to him." ”
Zhiwan nodded, she didn't worry about herself, Ye Guiyue was too a failure, there were too many enemies, and all of them were powerful, could she go out as a guest with confidence? Assassinations are all secluded places, bows and arrows are used the most, as long as the carriage is well designed, it is absolutely fine.
Zhiwan felt that the sky was a little stuffy, "Strengthen your vigilance today, I'm afraid Kyoto is going to change." ”
Mother Zheng nodded, "Princess Xiang poisoned you, was arrested, committed suicide by throwing herself into the river and was rescued, it is equivalent to not recruiting yourself, the Prime Minister's Mansion can't get out of the matter, if the Prime Minister is under house arrest, he won't even have a chance to rebel, and it really won't be peaceful tonight." ”
The first news I got at night was. King Xiang escaped from Kyoto with his son.
When the prince of Xiang Wang fled, Qin Zhishu stopped him, and the prince of Xiang Wang pushed her in a hurry. She fell, and she was red at that time, but Xiangwangfu baby the child in her belly, there is a special doctor in the house, the treatment is timely, and the child is safe and sound, but what Qin Zhishu longs for most is that the child is gone.
The Prime Minister's Mansion conspired against him. But he left her in Kyoto, and gave her no way to live. Does she still want to help this Xiangwang Mansion leave a bloodline?!
If the prince of the prime minister does not raise it, the palace of the prince is over, the princess will definitely die, and her life is over!
If the child is gone. The princess of the county is her fourth sister, and she begs her, maybe there is still a way to live......
But the child is the flesh of her heart, she has been looking forward to it for a few months, she is reluctant, Qin Zhishu cried into a tearful person.
As King Xiang fled from Kyoto, the court began to be in turmoil, especially the courtiers who supported King Xiang, like a bird with a bow. Panic and anxiety, for fear of being implicated.
The daughter-in-law was murdered with a mandarin duck pot, even if it didn't work out. Emperor Wenyuan's anger was not so pleasant, and when the emperor was angry, the palace was naturally full of chickens and dogs.
Zhiwan stayed in the palace of the king of Zhennan and never went out again, but the people who came to the door were one after another, and those Xiangwang parties came to the door to ask for relatives. Please bless you.
The princess ordered on the grounds that the princess of Yuejun was frightened. refused to see the guests, and even the lord of Jining came.
At this time, Zhiwan was flipping through the account books, and standing in front of him was a cold wood with gauze wrapped in his arm, and asked, "You mean that because the carriage I designed is invulnerable, many people go to the water side to ask if there is anything to sell?" ”
Leng Mu was speechless, everyone was panicked, the princess of the county was still in the mood to make money, was there a shortage of money on the water side, and still nodded, "Not to mention, there are thirty or forty people who have gone to inquire." ”
Zhiwan put his hands on his cheeks, and said, "The carriage is popular, I know it, but if this carriage is sold, it will be much more difficult for those green forest heroes to intercept and kill corrupt officials, but I am afraid that they will hate me in their hearts at that time." ”
Cold wood, "....... ”
He said, there is such a good thing, how can the princess of the county use it herself, dare to love is to hope that the heroes of the green forest will intercept and kill corrupt officials, corrupt officials are hateful, but they are intercepted and killed, and the face of the court will be disgraceful, and it will be the little prince who will have no face in the future.
Zhiwan sighed and said, "But innocent people like me are also pitiful, but the silk is not ordinary silk, you can have it casually, you can only take the silk away, leaving the net cover, the effect is much worse, you might as well make two." ”
Leng Mu listened carefully, and then listened to Zhiwan and continued to ask, "Is the output of refined iron keeping up?" ”
Leng Mu nodded, "Don't worry, the output of refined iron refined now is several times that of the past, and the weapons of the officers and soldiers have been replaced, which is more than ten times better than the enemy's, which is also the reason why our army can be a few." ”
Thinking of such a big attack, the princess of the county sold tens of thousands of taels of silver to the prince of the county, and she was still a little embarrassed, that could have given the marquis of the Yuan to earn a position as a prince, but the emperor remembered this love, whether it was the prince of the county or the little prince ascending the throne in the future, the position of the prince of Dingyuan would definitely not be able to run away.
Just thinking about it, he heard Zhiwan instruct, "Since there is enough fine iron, then take the order." ”
Leng Mu was a little embarrassed, "Fine iron is too important, a few days ago, the grassland royal court also asked the emperor to sell some fine iron to them, the emperor did not agree, if the fine iron carriage is sold, if it is bought by the enemy and melted and recast weapons, wouldn't it be a big threat to us?" ”
Zhiwan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "This can't be stopped at all, if the soldiers are killed or injured, some weapons will be left behind, and they will be picked up by the enemy, if you are not at ease about this matter, it is better to tell the emperor, we can provide fine iron to the grassland, but the premise is that the grassland has to provide us with horses, he sells us a horse, and we sell them ten catties of iron!" ”
Leng Mu received the order and went into the palace to tell Emperor Wenyuan, at that time several ministers were discussing things, and when they heard that Zhiwan intended to sell fine iron to the grassland, they didn't agree at that time, isn't it a horse!
Zuo Xiang resolutely disagreed, "How can this be, the grassland is friendly with us now, in case one day he becomes a thief and uses sharp weapons against us, it will be too late to regret it." ”
Leng Mu said, "Princess Yijun means that the grassland also knows that we buy war horses to train and form iron horses, and it is possible to ride a war horse from the grassland to break through the grassland one day, if everyone thinks so, the grassland does not sell our horses, we do not sell the grassland fine iron, in fact, it is the same in the end." But our enemy is not just a small grassland, but the south and the north, and the manufacture of fine iron is much simpler than raising horses. We use the money from the sale of fine iron to recruit troops and horses, expand the army, and the benefits are more than the pay, this account is cost-effective, and it can also let the people of the grassland know that our Dayue Dynasty has a broad heart, and if we have good things, we will share them with them, and we will be enemies. It's a very stupid thing to do. ”
Zuo Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said guiltily. "It's the minister who is stupid, don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, want the grassland to sell to our horses, and hold on to the fine iron. It's still the princess of the county who thinks far-reaching. ”
Leng Mu saw that Zuo Xiang agreed to this matter, and then spoke, "The princess of the county specially made fine iron carriage escaped a catastrophe, and now many people want to buy it, the princess of the county intends to make it, and her subordinates are afraid of causing trouble, so they came to ask the emperor what he meant." ”
Zuo Xiangfei coughed, "If the princess of the county really sells it, I want to buy one." ”
Emperor Wenyuan. “……。”
All the ministers in the room said that they were buying, which showed something. Agreed!
However, Zuo Xiang said, "It's better to control the number of this carriage, after all, fine iron is still too important." ”
A civil official said, "I don't know if the princess of the county designed the sedan chair?" ”
If this civil official hadn't believed in Guogong, Leng Mu would probably have rolled his eyes, and the sedan chair would have to be carried. If you use fine iron, you won't be tired to death. But this may be the prince's father, we have to greet each other with a smile, "The subordinates will tell the princess of the county about the request of the prince of Xinguo." ”
After going back, Leng Mu told Zhiwan, Zhiwan also had a headache, she wanted to say that you find Tian Silk, I will design one for you, and there is no charge, but no!
The sedan chair can't be too heavy, and I thought about making the fine iron thinner, and only then did I use the method of hollowing out in the middle, and four or five thin iron were stacked together, maybe it could.
Fortunately, there is no fine iron under the sedan chair, and the possibility of archery on the top of the sedan chair is also small, and one layer is fine.
Zhiwan designed seven or eight days, only barely made a sedan chair, but also carried into the palace, it is said that the weight is twice the weight of the general sedan chair, Zhiwan for the sedan chair man who carried the sedan chair silently.
After personally seeing the effect of the secret guard's archery inspection, he opened it again to see if it was damaged, and after confirming the quality, Zhiwan ordered someone to change the brocade wrap and send it to the Duke of Xinguo.
For the sedan chair, Xin Guogong specially recruited four powerful sedan chair drivers, but when he found that the sedan chair was not as heavy as he imagined, he was even more satisfied......
Who doesn't want such a sedan chair? I got it on the water side.
Zhiwan is a person who has always put the customer first, and as long as he can do it, he will never refuse, but he has to explain it.
The sedan chair can't be as delicate as Xin Guogong's, after all, not everyone has the archery skills of 100 meters through Yang, and it is not that anyone who assassinates will rain arrows one after another, so it is enough to use a layer of fine iron, you can buy it and order it, and if you don't buy it, take the sedan chair home.
But everyone is too eager for the sedan chair, layer by layer, talk is better than nothing, and it is not very expensive, not very heavy, how important life is, and the fine iron is different from others, it will not be easily damaged, other times, you want to buy the fine iron can not buy it......
No, it's another big profit.
However, this gave Zhiwan an inspiration, and he nested in the study for three days, designed a design drawing, and ordered Leng Mu to be sent to the palace and handed over to Emperor Wenyuan.
After Emperor Wen Yuan saw it, he had a thought, fortunately, this person was his daughter-in-law, if it was an enemy person, he would definitely kill her at all costs!
After sighing with emotion, he called the squire of the military department, took the design plan and said, "Go and get 5,000 catties of fine iron, make 20 such carriages, and send them to the border immediately." ”
The hands of the soldiers are trembling with the drawings, such a carriage is used on the battlefield, let alone approaching, you have to hide far away when you see it!
The four horses were armoured to prevent them from being killed, and the carriage was made of fine iron, and was surrounded by iron balls, which were the kind of iron balls with thorns, and the carriage had long thorns on its body, and the soldiers sat in the carriage and galloped wildly......
He doesn't know what will happen to others, he will run desperately!
Who came up with such design drawings, he should be a general by nature, or a bloodthirsty general!
Zhiwan was sneezing, and she also knew that the design was a little shocking, but on the battlefield, some were just life and death, afraid of the chariot, and they could retreat thousands of miles, and no one forced them.
She was worried about the emperor's ambition to invade others. (To be continued)
