Zhang Rang, who was in charge of the emperor's diet and daily life, found that Liu Zhi was in a particularly good mood today, and drank three glasses of wine for lunch.

Then he hummed a little tune while reviewing the recitals, and the tune was so cheerful and strange that it was unheard of.

After a while, Liu Zhi beckoned, "Go, bring the clothes I wore when I went out of the palace, put on makeup for me, and let's go see Madame." ”

"Okay."

Zhang Rang was overjoyed, Liu Zhi had been so busy since he overthrew Liang Ji that he had never had time to see Mrs. Yun.

However, halfway through, someone was sent to pick her up into the palace, and the mother and son hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they also had mixed feelings.

Originally, Liu Zhi planned to take his mother into the palace and live in Yong'an Palace, opposite the Empress Dowager Liang.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yun refused, "You have just become in power now, it is not appropriate to do too much, I live very well in Lu Lane, quiet and free, why bother to suffer from this constraint." ”

Liu Zhi knew that his mother was thinking about him, so after thinking about it, he didn't force it, and still sent her back, but secretly sent more dragon scale guards to guard her.

I picked up the only books in the palace that she liked on weekdays and rewarded a lot, as for food and clothing, it should be provided according to the specifications of the Empress Dowager Liang.

Today, he made a small gain in the court, and his heart was happy, thinking that his mother's birthday was approaching, so he planned to talk to her and talk about loneliness.

Zhang Rang was in a happy mood, he was brought up by Zheng Xing, an old minister, since he was a child, and he regarded him as a grandfather.

Now that I haven't seen him for many days, I naturally miss it very much.

Now is different from the past, Liu Zhi was worried that Liang Ji would retaliate against the rest of the party, so he asked Tian Yan, the former lieutenant of the imperial school, to pick some masters and accompany him openly and secretly.

Now as long as he leaves the palace, Long Linwei will also be like a great enemy, secretly arranging manpower to protect him.

Although he put on makeup, smeared his skin, and put on a fake beard, most of the people living in Lu Xiang were ministers from the central government, and for the sake of insurance, he still chose to take a carriage.

The afternoon was sunny, and Mrs. Yun was reading a book under the window, when she suddenly heard the news that her son had returned, and her face couldn't help but bloom with a smile of surprise.

"Go, hurry up and make a few plates of His Majesty's favorite water chestnut crisp."

Just as he was instructing the servants, Liu Zhi had already strode over, and before he entered the door, he smiled brightly.

"Mother, Zhi'er is back."

Mrs. Yun was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "You look a little like your grandfather." ”

Liu Zhi had no impression of his maternal grandfather, and smiled when he heard this.

"And that's not because I look like you."

Mrs. Yun sat him down like an ordinary mother, and asked him if it was hot on the road, what he wanted to eat, and how he had eaten recently......

Liu Zhi always had a pleasant smile on his face, and answered carefully one by one, without any impatience.

"I heard that Deng Gui has a good relationship with you, how is she, bring it to me next time."

Since the last time she entered the palace, Mrs. Yun refused to step into the palace gate for half a step, and Liu Zhi also knew that her mother was stubborn and not reluctant, so she had to secretly decide to visit her often in the future.

"She's very good, she is an easy-going and cool woman, but she is busy with the affairs of the palace maid these days, and when she is free, I will let her come to talk to you every day."

Listening to his tone, the two did get along well, and Mrs. Yun couldn't help but feel relieved, she had always had a bad impression of Liang Nuying, and she felt very sorry for her son, hoping that he could find a compatible partner.

"It's okay, I just like hearty girls."

Suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "You have been with her for more than a year, why haven't you heard any movement?" ”

Liu Zhi was stunned, and then he realized that Mrs. Yun was worried that he would have no heirs.

He and Liang Nuying were in the same room before, and they were husband and wife, but for some reason, they were not pregnant.

Now that he and Deng Meng are not in the same bed, it is naturally even more impossible, but in feudal society, if a woman has not been pregnant for a long time, it is the original sin, and she will be blamed by the outside world for no reason.

He has been busy with political affairs, but he didn't expect this, but fortunately, Mrs. Yun reminded him, afraid that she would blame Deng Meng, so he exonerated her.

"I saw that both of them were still young, so I deliberately asked the doctor to avoid the child soup, and I will talk about it in two years."

When Mrs. Yun heard this, she couldn't help but reach out and pat him, glaring at him.

"It's just nonsense, the soup is a big cold, drinking too much is not good for the body, stop it quickly."

Seeing that she was angry, Liu Zhi hurriedly agreed, and promised with a hippie smile, "In a few years, I will definitely add ten or eight grandchildren to my mother, and I will annoy you by arguing around you every day." ”

The son became the emperor, but he was still so unorthodox, Mrs. Yun shook her head helplessly.

"You are not young anymore, if you really like her, you should let her have a child as soon as possible, in the future, you will have more concubines, how can she not worry."

Mrs. Yun is kind and benevolent by nature, and always thinks about others, Liu Zhi's mind is now in the court, how can he be interested in lingering in the harem.

But he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he gaged with his mother, which made her laugh, and mixed up the matter.

One afternoon, Liu Zhidu talked to his mother at home, and had dinner with her in the evening.

As soon as he returned to the palace, someone came to report that Geng Xiu had been waiting for more than an hour.

Only then did he remember that the matter of asking him to build a bronze still seemed to be completed, so he summoned him immediately.

"Your Majesty, the bronze tripod has been completed, and the minister has tested it, and it is not leaking at all."

Liu Zhi was in a good mood when he heard this, "Very good, I'll go over and take a look right away." ”

After thinking about it, he turned his head and ordered, "Please come to the examination room by Nantun Hou." ”

The group came to the examination room under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, although it was already night, but it was still busy here.

Recently, there has been a war between Liangzhou and Yizhou, and the demand for weapons and equipment has greatly increased, and craftsmen are rushing to produce them day and night.

Liu Zhi knew that the bronze craftsmanship of this era was very superb, but he did not know that the technology of wrought iron was also relatively mature, and there were already hydraulic blowers.

By the way, I visited the armory, spears, halberds, knives, guns and crossbows are all relatively conventional weapons.

Most of the armor is actually iron armor, and the forging process is excellent, far beyond Liu Zhi's imagination, and there are many kinds of bright light armor, black light armor, and Liangdang armor.

Finally, under a spacious shed, Liu Zhi finally saw the bronze still he had been thinking about.

At this time, the casting of large round utensils was difficult to be square, and it was difficult to seal the joints.

The bronze tripod is very large, six feet long, four feet wide, more than six feet high, the inside of the tripod has been polished very smooth, and many animal patterns are carved on the outside to decorate, it looks like a work of art, beautiful.

At this time, Deng Yan had also arrived in a hurry, and when he saw that Liu Zhi specially invited him to come and see Dafangding, he was a little inexplicable.

However, he knew that Liu Zhi must have intentions, so he wisely did not ask.

According to the level of craftsmanship at that time, it was not a problem to make a square tripod, but the difficulty was in the lid, which was as precise as possible and tightly sealed.
