On the shift time.

Jing Hong was in the dormitory, reviewing his homework by candlelight, when suddenly there was a light outside.

Looking sideways, Zhu Hao walked in with a strange thing in his hand.

"What is this?"

Jing Hong looked at Zhu Hao and didn't ask where Zhu Hao went, anyway, Zhu Hao was so elusive that he couldn't understand what Zhu Hao did with Jing Hong's level.

Jing Hong was more concerned about what Zhu Hao had in his hand.

Like a lantern, it's not a lantern, you can walk around with your hand, the wind is blowing outside, Zhu Hao actually walked all the way, and the flames inside are not extinguished.

Zhu Hao put the artifact down, and Jing Hong finally saw it more clearly, it seemed to be a tung oil lamp, but it was covered with a strange shell on the outside, but it was transparent, as if it was the kind of marble material they usually played, but it was smoother and more crystal clear.

Zhu Hao took out the booklet in his schoolbag and explained casually: "I call this thing a horse lamp, which is a kind of lamp that can be hung on the saddle and used to ride a horse at night for lighting." ”

"This ...... Won't it burn? It seems to be closed...... The lights inside will go out soon, right? ”

Jing Hong is very smart, although he has not been exposed to science, he also knows that if he uses a sealed thing, it will go out in a short time, and those who have studied chemistry certainly know that it is because of the depletion of oxygen.

Zhu Hao smiled: "It looks closed, but in fact, there are three layers of ventilation holes, which are connected by copper pipes...... Now only copper pipes can be used, which may not be affordable by ordinary people, but if iron pipes are used, the cost will be greatly reduced, and more people will use them......"

After all, there is no iron-making furnace in Zhu Hao's laboratory, and to make metal castings, copper is more suitable for molding and improvement.

The horse lantern in his hand is a kind of windproof lamp, with metal as the frame, and the metal cylinder as a conduit connecting the inner and outer space, two layers up and down, the lower layer is filled with tung oil, and the upper layer is a glass cover, which will maximize the light transmission, compared to using the lantern is bright and safe, and there is no need to worry about the shell being burned by fire.

It was supposed to be an ordinary evening.

Zhu Hao writes the play book and plan, while Jing Hong reviews his homework.

However, because Zhu Hao brought the lantern, Jing Hong didn't have the heart to study, and kept staring at the lampshade for a long time, reaching out to touch it several times, his face was happy or worried, and he didn't know that he thought it was a magic barrier.

Zhu Hao knew that this kid had great curiosity about new things, especially scientific things, and even Zhu Si didn't have Jinghong's strong desire for knowledge.

The two had an agreement not to talk when reading and writing, and the two have always kept their promises.

After half an hour of silence, there was the sound of footsteps outside.

Jing Hong looked sideways and found that a figure came to the door of the room, but did not come in directly, but knocked lightly on the door.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

"Who?" Zhu Hao asked.

Lu Song's voice came from outside: "It's me." ”

Jing Hong looked at Zhu Hao: "It seems to be Lu Dian's battle." ”

Jing Hong has long been used to it, anyway, every time Lu Song comes to look for him, it must be Zhu Hao instead of him, and he felt that he was left out at first, but after discovering the huge gap with Zhu Hao, he understood that he did not have the capital to communicate directly with Wang Fudian.

In the end, it is not surprising.

"Please come in."

Zhu Hao didn't go over to open the door, just said.

He was the last to enter the room, without a latch, as if he had guessed that someone would come to visit him in the evening.

Lu Song immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and when he saw that the two children were reading at the desk, he suddenly felt very unreal.

Jinghong just reads, Zhu Hao, you have so much thought, your head is more flexible than an adult, you used to just read a lot of books, but now you go to Nanchang to bring back the talented Tang Yin, it can be regarded as "traveling thousands of miles", right? What are you pretending to be here?

"Young Master Zhu, I'll ...... I'm looking for you to do something. ”

Lu Song was going to call Zhu Hao to the courtyard to talk, but after seeing the horse lantern, he was attracted by this lamp that looked special but was very practical, just like Jing Hong's reaction.

Zhu Hao put down his pen and got up to look at Lu Song: "Please Lu Dianzhan wait outside." ”

After that, Zhu Hao packed up the file in front of him, picked up the lantern, and took one of his own candles and handed it to Jing Hong, but Jing Hong shook his head and confiscated it, just re-lit the half of the candle he had lit before.

……

……

In the yard.

Lu Song was surprised when he saw Zhu Hao come out with a horse lantern, even though he was talking about something, his eyes still fell steadily on the horse lantern in Zhu Hao's hand.

“…… I have told the prince before, and as you guessed, your worries have been confirmed. In addition, Mr. Lu seems to have guessed some of my situation, and thinks that the contact between you and me is unusual, have you ever told him about me...... What is the relationship with Jinyiwei? ”

Lu Song's expression was solemn.

The feeling to Zhu Hao is that Lu Song is now as timid as a mouse, and he overreacts at the slightest hint of trouble.

Zhu Hao said: "Why do I have nothing to tell him this?" Does he have a good relationship with Jin Yiwei? ”

Lu Song frowned, how could this kid speak so sophisticated? You answer whatever I ask you, why use rhetorical questions? Let me answer you?

"Again."

Zhu Hao added, "Don't look at Mr. Lu's usual swaying and unorthodox, but he will never betray others in exchange for his own future and interests, he is not the kind of person who betrays his friends to seek glory." ”

"Traitor to glory?"

Lu Song didn't quite understand Zhu Hao's novel rhetoric.

Zhu Hao smiled slightly: "He just entered the palace, and he has no acquaintances around him, so he treats you as a friend...... I see this very clearly. ”

Lu Song was stunned again.

He suddenly remembered that Tang Yin had stopped him before, his face was embarrassed, and he wanted to stop talking, if Tang Yin really had bad intentions towards him and wanted to betray him, why was he so hesitant?

As Zhu Hao said, Tang Yin regarded him as a friend, and everything made sense.

It is precisely because Tang Yin is affectionate and righteous that he feels that some issues are too sensitive, beyond the scope of what friends can ask each other, so Tang Yin wants to stop talking.

"And finally...... Do you think that Mr. Lu would think that a loyal and righteous person who has done his best to rejuvenate the palace and then died, and does not care about personal gains and losses in everything, will be a spy who inquires for Jinyiwei and sells the palace for profit? Zhu Hao used a rhetorical question again.

This time, Lu Song still couldn't answer the question.

Everything makes sense.

As long as Zhu Hao didn't reveal his identity as a spy in Jinyi to Tang Yin, no matter how big Tang Yin's ability was, he wouldn't think so much.

Lu Song was not angry because of Zhu Hao's previous series of harsh words, this time he made meritorious contributions to the Xingwang Mansion, Zhu Hao is the real behind-the-scenes hero, he is very grateful to Zhu Hao for his help secretly, and said: "Previously, Zhu Weizheng proposed to let you avoid suspicion and leave the palace, and Mr. Lu and I will help you talk." ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "I remind you and Mr. Lu, in fact, it is to prevent the incident from happening, and the palace thinks that I am also involved in it, and then the matter will be irreparable!" ”

"Sure enough."

Lu Song's heart settled down.

He felt that Zhu Hao was not lying, but it just proved that Zhu Hao was prescient, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What did you say to Mr. Lu?" ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "His trust in me is much higher than that of Lu Dian, so I don't need to say too much to send a warning to the palace without hesitation...... Mr. Lu is dedicated to the palace, there is no need to doubt his sincerity, right? I think that even if you really tell him about you being held hostage by the Jinyi Guard and secretly leaking the information of the palace in the future, he will help you with advice, instead of rushing to report it. ”

Lu Song didn't believe Zhu Hao's words before, but he had heard Zhu Hao's analysis of the situation and the final result...... Lu Song found that his insight was not as good as the child in front of him.

Since your wisdom is not as good as others, and you still owe the kindness of others, are you embarrassed to suspect that others are plotting against you?

"At present, the palace is tight inside and outside, and the guards from all over the palace will be transferred back to complete the defense...... Zhu Hao, you have been going out as little as possible in the past two days, what do you think about this? ”

Lu Song really asked for advice this time.

Zhu Hao's expression was indifferent: "In fact, at this time, the palace should not keep a low profile for fear of fighting grass and snakes, but should act in a high-profile manner before the security forces are not thorough, those with bad intentions will find that the palace has increased its vigilance and become a monolith, and they will retreat." ”

Lu Song said: "What do you mean...... Should King Xing be reminded to raise the level of vigilance and create a false impression of rumors to the outside world? ”

Zhu Hao smiled slightly and didn't explain much.

"You...... What do you think, but it doesn't matter, I know that you are not very good at taking a position in this matter, but I believe that you will not ruin the name of loyalty left by Ling Zun for the sake of family affairs......" Lu Song said.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Lu Dianzhan doesn't need to wear a high hat for me, my father has left me a style of loyalty and filial piety." ”

Lu Song was stunned.

You kid......

I say loyalty, but you say loyalty and filial piety.

Is this self-deprecation?

Will you betray the palace in order to maintain filial piety to your family? When I didn't know that you kid had already tied your interests to the palace?

"In fact, there is not much problem with the current Xingwang approach, if you have to use the limited manpower to the extreme, it will inevitably cause internal emptiness, so that the enemy can take advantage of it...... It's better to keep it as it is. Zhu Hao suddenly changed his previous statement, which made Lu Song extremely puzzled.

Why is this kid tossing and turning?

But I heard Zhu Hao add: "But if there is someone in the palace at this time, who can tell my uncle that the palace is tight inside and loose outside, then will my uncle think that the palace is luring the enemy to go deeper, and invite the king into the urn?" ”

"Huh?"

After Lu Song thought for a while, his face was full of surprise.

This kid has a lot of tricks.

maintain the status quo, but deliberately leak the news, so that the people of Jinyiwei know that the palace is now wary, and Jinyiwei's actions must be restricted everywhere.

The people of Jinyi Wei thought that they were smart, thinking that the palace did not know that the news of full alert had been leaked, and they were still desperately trying to cover it up, so they did not dare to act rashly...... In this way, the initiative is completely in the hands of the royal government.

Obviously, the palace's defense strength is insufficient at the moment, but it makes Jinyi Wei fearful, and this move can only be said to be quite clever.
