Chang'an City.

Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, walked around in front of the gate of Taiji Palace again today, and waited for a long time before a eunuch came out and respectfully told King Teng that the Son of Heaven was busy today and had no time to summon him, so he asked His Royal Highness to go back and wait for the news of the Ministry of Rites.

King Teng was stunned for a long time before he walked back in despair.

Since returning to Chang'an City, King Teng has asked to see Li Zhi five times, and has also been rejected by Li Zhi five times.

Anyway, Li Zhi just didn't want to see him, either busy or sick.

It wasn't so difficult for King Teng to lick Mrs. Korea, at least people didn't refuse him to lick it. And Li Zhi didn't even give a chance to meet.

The only thing that pleased King Teng was that at least the Son of Heaven could still make up excuses to refuse, indicating that the Son of Heaven still had some heavenly affection for this imperial uncle after all.

Of course, not to be seen is really not to be seen.

Uncle Qin asked to see him five times in a row, but he didn't see him, and it could be seen that Li Zhi really didn't like this imperial uncle.

As for what the eunuch said about waiting for news from the Ministry of Rites, it is an empty lie.

According to the court, officials seeking to see the Son of Heaven must be arranged through the Ministry of Rites, but this is very flexible.

How the Ministry of Rites arranges, who sees and who doesn't, and how long it will take to see each other is completely unpredictable.

As early as the Zhenguan period, a local official went to Beijing to report on his work, and he also lived in the post house to wait for the Ministry of Rites to arrange, but I don't know whether the Ministry of Rites was negligent, or Li Shimin was really busy, this official was born in Chang'an City for half a year, and there was no local official in charge for half a year.

It wasn't until the official couldn't stand it anymore that he ran to the gate of Taiji Palace and knelt down and cried bitterly, which attracted the attention of the palace people, and then he got what he hoped for.

Because of this incident, Wei Zheng, who was in the service at that time, once again participated Li Shimin to death.

Therefore, King Teng did not expect the Ministry of Rites to arrange for him to have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven at all, and if the Son of Heaven did not want to see him, the Ministry of Rites would not arrange for him at all.

Turning around and boarding the carriage in disappointment, when the guard of honor was about to leave, a person dressed as a guard hurried to the palace gate, showed his waist card to Yu Linwei in front of the door, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Ganjingzhuang urgently report, Weinan County Bo is a national meritorious, please play the Son of Heaven." ”

King Teng in the carriage was stunned.

Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai? What did he do again?

The attendant guards were about to order the honor guard to set off, but King Teng suddenly stopped.

"Wait first, just wait outside the palace gate." An unpredictable glint flashed in King Teng's eyes.

…………

Taiji Palace, Anren Palace.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu gathered together, watching curiously as the guards took out cement from the bag they were carrying and held it with both hands.

"What is this...... Li Zhi leaned closer and took a closer look: "Is Su Jie mistaken?" It's just such a dusty thing, comparable to gunpowder and three-eyed guns, I read a lot, don't lie to me. ”

The guard lowered his head and said: "The villain doesn't dare to bully the king, the villain was also present when Li Xianbo showed this thing, and he saw it with his own eyes." ”

Empress Wu said with great interest: "Use it to mix it with river sand and water, and apply it to the ditch to make it solid?" ”

"Yes, at that time, the son of the general of Qibi, Qibi Zhen, tried it with a purple gold hammer, and when the hammer went down, the ditch did not move at all, only a small crack was cracked, and it was indeed indestructible."

Empress Wu grasped the key and asked: "What kind of situation can Qi Bizhen smash down with a hammer on weekdays?" ”

The guard said: "After the gate, Qi Bizhen can crack the gold stone with a hammer." ”

Li Zhi was taken aback: "This thing ...... So sturdy? ”

Subconsciously looked at Empress Wu and found that Empress Wu's eyes were as shocked as him.

Empress Wu quickly calmed down: "Your Majesty, seeing is believing. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said to the guard: "Since you have seen it with your own eyes, you must know the regulations, you can try it." ”

The guards did not shirk, and confidently asked the palace people to bring some river sand and water, and mixed the cement into it like Li Qinzai, and mixed it with the water.

Li Zhi ordered a mound of earth to be erected outside the hall, tamped and smeared with cement, and then waited patiently for several hours.

A few hours later, Li Zhi couldn't wait to run out of the hall to check, knocked on his fingers, and found that it was really hard, and tried to kick his feet twice, but the mound did not move, leaving only his footprints on the surface.

"It's kind of interesting......" Li Zhi muttered excitedly in his eyes, and then ordered the guards to fetch a sledgehammer and smash it.

A military general personally copied the sledgehammer and smashed it hard, and the mound was really not damaged, and the military general smashed it several times, and finally smashed it out of a small crack.

Empress Wu stood beside Li Zhi, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Zhi said excitedly: "Smash it and take a look." ”

Several guards stepped forward and smashed the mound of dirt for a long time, and the mound was finally smashed and scattered with fragments of cement.

Li Zhi picked up a piece of pieces, looked at it carefully, tried to break it a few times, and smashed it on the ground again.

After trying a few times, Li Zhi was finally satisfied, and laughed: "Good thing! is worthy of Jing Chu, it is really like having nine minds, and anything unbelievable can be created. ”

The Empress Wu on the side said softly: "Your Majesty, if this thing is used to build a city, or to build roads and bridges, it should be of great use, Jing Chu is not exaggerated, its function is indeed comparable to gunpowder." ”

Li Hexing was delighted, and said loudly: "I have to go to Ganjingzhuang to see how this thing was made, I want to listen to Jing Chu himself." ”

Empress Wu's eyes flickered, and she said, "The concubine is willing to go with Your Majesty." ”

"Let's go! While the hour was still early, I rushed to Ganjingzhuang just in time for sunset, and the food in Jingchu's mansion was also coveted for a long time, haha! ”

…………

The gate of Taiji Palace opened, and Li Zhi's Son of Heaven honor guard left the palace.

Li Zhi is a benevolent and generous son of heaven, and he did not make a big deal when he traveled, and the honor guard of the Son of Heaven just brought some more Yulin guards.

King Teng, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, couldn't help but widen his eyes excitedly when he saw the Son of Heaven leaving the palace.

Finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up!

At noon, there was a faint premonition that with the news of Weinan County Bo entering the palace, the Son of Heaven would definitely react.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to really react, and King Teng didn't expect that it was the Son of Heaven who traveled in person.

Could it be that Li Qinzai's position in the heart of the Son of Heaven is so important? Just sent someone to send a message, and the Son of Heaven personally left the palace.

What the hell did that guy do?

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, King Teng patted the coachman and said, "Keep up with the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, don't get too close, and it is a capital crime to commit driving." ”

The coachman should dismount and cautiously and slowly follow behind the guard of honor.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, King Teng suddenly grinned.

The daughter seems to have also gone to Ganjingzhuang, and it has been a few days, saying that she is visiting the daughter of the Cui family.

Is the stay too long? Although he has been a close friend for many years, he has been married after all, lives in someone's house, and looks up and looks down with a married man.

The two were innocent, they got along under the same roof, and after a long time, it is difficult to say whether there will be any sparks.

Moreover, Li Qinzai's bastard is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The young cabbage that this king has raised for many years......

"Take a detour out of the city, bypass the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and we must arrive at Ganjingzhuang before the Son of Heaven." King Teng ordered the coachman in a little hurry.
