Chapter 26: Multiple Alchemy

This is none other than Diesent's close minister, "Luo Yi. Street Bright Brook".

He has command authority over all palace guards and is also the commander-in-chief of military decisions.

The personality is a little weird, and the shriveled voice also makes the street clear and Langke exude an eccentric atmosphere, but he is such a strange person, and he is one of Discente's most beloved subordinates.

Because Jie Minglang is the personal prime minister who assists Disent, he often gives Deccent a lot of advice and strategies to help Deccent solve many national political problems.

In addition, Jie Minglangke's methods are very spicy, not only a few years ago to completely eliminate many of Einke's underground criminal organizations, but also to eradicate many radicals who intended to assassinate Discent, and made a lot of great contributions.

Even so, Jie Minglang never went around publicizing his exploits, he was always mysterious, he was never public, ruthless and quick-eyed, and never dragged his feet in carrying out any tasks.

For this reason, Divicent trusted Jie Minglang very much, and also handed over all the military forces in the royal city to the management of Jie Minglangke.

And Jie Minglangke did not live up to Discent's expectations.

In the more than 20 years since he took over the army, Jie Minglang has always been able to use his military power perfectly to eliminate countless troubles for Disson.

The old minister who is so loyal to Disent, but unexpectedly hates Discente's children, that is, Wu who is late for class.

Wu's appearance made the street name Ranke move, and he put the clock in his pocket back in his pocket, his expression a little unhappy, but still with a strong smile.

After all, he is just a prime minister, how can he be angry with the emperor's children?

"Young Master Wu, you have been late for a full hour and a half today, and you have already surpassed the previous record, did you encounter any emergencies on the way here?"

Jie Minglang smiled slightly, and asked the late Wu with a somewhat mocking tone.

"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally overslept."

"Really? Didn't you pestering General Grossar and begging him to take a leave of absence for you so that you could go out and play with the vendors you didn't play with last time? ”

"Ahaha——? You know that. ”

was torn apart, revealing a ghostly smile.

After all, this is not the first time that he has been caught, and Wu is naturally very accustomed to dealing with such a dilemma.

"Prince Wu, I don't think the emperor wants to see his son lie so easily, and he doesn't want to work hard, but in the end he didn't make the sparrow become a phoenix, but degenerated into a soup chicken, right?"

"Haha——! Dad, you're still just as good, but I'm still in class. ”

"Can you guarantee that you'll be able to concentrate when you get to class?"

The harsh words pierced Wu's eardrums, and ordinary people were already a little uncomfortable.

However, as a prince, Wu still smirked and didn't care at all.

After all, Jie Minglang is not the only prime minister in the palace who will maliciously taunt Wu.

Except for the residents outside the royal city and the guards in the royal city, almost all the prime ministers and nobles knew that Wu was not Divint's own child.

For this reason, they all despise this alien species, let alone the little rats from the slums.

However, because of his identity, who dares to insult this little prince directly?

For this reason, many ministers turned to attack Wu with euphemistic ridicule, and even many prime ministers continued to humiliate Wu behind their backs.

However, these are all known, but they are deliberately ignored.

Because he knows very well that these words, although very unpleasant, are also indisputable facts.

Wu, who is good at pretending to be crazy and stupid, already knows that he is not liked by the ministers, although he doesn't understand the reason why they hate him, but there must be a reason for everything, and there must be something that offended these ministers.

But he didn't have the leisure to change the ministers' minds about themselves. Anyway, there was no intention of competing for the throne, and the eyes of the ministers were not important to them at all.

As for those unbearable ridicules, I will get used to them after a long time, so naturally I don't need to care too much.

Yes, just get used to it.

Wu walked over to the large table in the saloon and looked at the monstrous piles of scrolls on the table.

The smirk on his face suddenly stiffened.

This has been accumulated for several days, and it can be regarded as Wu's own self-inflicted.

Because these are almost all homework that I didn't do in the previous class.

Jie Minglang laid his rough right hand flat on the pile of scrolls on the table, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"You must complete all these dispatch reports before noon, and I will forward them to the Emperor. Remember, you must do it all within today, you can't sneak out or let the servants handle it for you, your handwriting is very clear, I hope you can respect yourself. ”

Wu finally showed a look of disbelief, and was so surprised that he couldn't even close his open mouth.

"Do you say it all? Do you really have to do it all? Can't it be done in batches? ”

"Forgive the old man for refusing, please do your best! Your wonderful brother has already completed his patrol, and you don't have to get up early every day to go out in heavy armor like Prince Gil. Compared to Master Jill, it can even be described as a sparrow and a phoenix, so I hope you can be content. ”

The so-called imperial science is to let Wu and Jill go out with Divicent to patrol the borders, through inspecting the local crop conditions, and communicating with the people face-to-face to understand the posture that should be shown to the "superior".

At the same time, the two of them will be asked to compile a report on the operation during a full day's tour, including the results of the inspection and a report on personal improvements, which will affect the outcome of the heir to the throne.

And these scrolls are exactly what Wu needs to write.

Because Wu didn't actually go out, Jie Minglang lent Wu a report written by Wu's brother, Jill, as a reference.

Based on these numbers, this is estimated to be an inspection report that has been accumulated for nearly a month. If you want to do it in one day, it's obviously a problem.

But I don't have anything to say, if I can finish it before ten o'clock in the evening, maybe I will have a chance to ask Grossar to take him to the market.

With a helpless expression, he swallowed his saliva and stared at the piles of scrolls in front of him.

Hmm——! Just do it! Who's afraid of whom?

Wu finally made up his mind, and pulled out the wooden chair with a lot of vindictiveness and sat down, looking quite imposing.

However, when he pulled out one of the scrolls, the pile of scrolls lost its balance and eventually fell to the ground with a "pop".

In an instant, only about three seconds of fighting spirit was scattered by the scattered sound of falling.

It took ten minutes just to pick up the scrolls scattered all over the place, and I was tired from thinking about it.

Looking at the messy scrolls on the ground, Wu couldn't help but complain from the bottom of his heart:

"How the hell is this going to be done before ten o'clock in the evening!?"

A long hour has passed, and the implementation progress of Wu seems to be less than ideal-

It should be said that "stagnation".

All sorts of unfinished work are piled up on a small stone table, and the bamboo baskets that are responsible for picking up the completed work are still empty.

Not even half of the completed homework.

If you look at it on your knees, you can see that the amount of unfinished work is still frightening.

The listless Wu was holding one of the scrolls with his white-skinned hands, and his scattered eyes were hollowly studying the first line of the scroll—

The scroll was the first one Wu had read since he first arrived at the saloon—including the long, dry line of text.

His nonchalant eyes stayed on the first line of the narrative, and an hour had passed, and his eyes still hadn't moved at all.

It's not that I can't read it, but it's too simple - so simple that I don't want to waste time absorbing these boring texts.

But to be honest, these official documents are tricky government affairs, and they are problems that many ministers cannot solve. The reason why Wu feels simple and boring is entirely due to his personal intelligence.

These official documents are trivial things that happen in the town, including people's livelihood, industry, transportation, education, logistics, ...... and other problems - Wu's homework is to sort out the corresponding solutions for each problem.

This is also a must-have lesson as a candidate for the throne. The "political mind" that should be.

It's hard to say – for Wu, these jobs are undoubtedly just on paper.

How can there be a perfect policy in the world? Governing people from a preconceived political perspective without discussing it with the people in advance – even with a small number of people – will not win everyone's support.

The people are the beneficiaries of the policy, so how can the beneficiaries be kept in the dark by outsiders?

Moreover, these trivial matters are also problems that have plagued Einke for a long time, and with such a huge amount of work, the purpose of the father is simply to hope that he can produce effective policies in the shortest possible time.

Of course, the fresh milk that is squeezed out in a short period of time is definitely not fresh - the above is just Wu's inner opinion.

In Diesent's eyes, Wu is a genius who can plan high-quality policies in a short period of time.

Almost none of the ministers in the palace knew about this, not even Wu himself - in the past few years, most of Aynke's domestic policies have been based on Wu's imperial homework.

Wu is already a near-perfect politician - a virtuous government based on the well-being of the people, and Descent is also full of praise as a benevolent monarch.

As a father, Divicent has not disclosed anything to Wu at all, and even the remaining two insiders, Jie Minglang and Grossal, have not spoken to Wu.

It was not even mentioned to the other ministers of the palace.

This is not intended to steal Wu's intellectual property rights, but is intended to be "protected".

Because Divicent also understands that Wu's reputation in the court is not good, and Wu himself feels very repulsed by politics.

If Wu's talent is too publicized, it will undoubtedly bring huge pressure to Wu. But at the same time, Diesel didn't want to bury his talent.

With the mood of hoping for Jackie Chan, Decision took the idea of Wu as the basis for the construction of the policy, and then used it

Do a deep renovation – and in doing so, you will be able to preserve these intriguing "works of art" for a long time.

At the same time, Discent is patiently waiting for some change in Wu's mentality.

Maybe that kind of thing will never happen, but Decente is willing to wait.

However, according to the attitude of today's Wu, I am afraid that there will never be a change - I don't know why, today's Wu especially does not want to do these homework.

It may be looking forward to the trip in the evening, or it may be because I slept too late last night.

In other words, no matter how much Wu's actions are delayed, there will be at least a dozen completed homework in the bamboo basket - but today's bamboo basket is as empty as Wu's mind.

Completely empty.

There was no ambition, only a continuous sigh.

"Alas—————"

Even though he hadn't written any official documents, his whole body still felt tired and sore, as if he had seen through the world, sighed lightly again—a long breath full of tiredness and sluggishness.

It's boring, it's boring, it's quiet.

Putting down the scroll in his hand, the swollen eye sockets finally left the line of words, and lazily turned to the emptiness on the side—

As Wu's watchman, Jie Minglangke had already left the saloon and went to go elsewhere to carry out his own affairs.

In other words, there was only one person left in this huge room.

It's like a caged bird facing the door of the birdcage open - Wu can welcome freedom at any time, but behind this freedom, there is a huge risk -

It is also the reason why Ling Wu does not dare to act rashly.

If he is caught, he will not only be scolded by Jie Minglangke, but it is also very likely that Grossar will refuse to take him out to play.

This is a choice worth pondering, although all the benefits only come from the "market" that Wu has been thinking about for a long time.

How powerful is the "market"? If you have the consciousness of taking risks, you can't help but have the desire to skip class?

This is because the bazaar is not as cold or glamorous as the palace, but rather a warm friendship and entertainment – especially in the evenings.

The evening market is not like daytime, and the playability is very high.

Due to people's living habits, stalls selling vegetables, fruits and daily necessities usually choose to start closing in the afternoon.

Instead, there are amusement vendors full of prizes – interesting gameplay mechanics and quirky prizes that are the biggest attraction to Wu.

Although there are a few amusement vendors during the day, there is no sense of joy and accomplishment that comes with winning prizes one after another.

At the same time, the "crisis" at hand is very difficult - that is, the mountains of official documents on the table.

If you can't help but go out to play now, you will definitely not be able to finish it before ten o'clock according to this amount of homework.

Even if the playful Wu still retains a rational measure.

It would be unwise to be short-sighted and give up the evening market for the sake of temporary gain, and to risk being scolded by Jie Minglangke.

What an annoying multiple-choice question! To go or not to go?

In an instant, Wu suddenly had an idea.

The rule issued by Jie Minglang was that "you should not run away from the royal city without permission" - in other words, what if you stayed in the royal city to rest?

That's right! When it comes to the best places in the royal city to relax and laze......

There it is!

Suddenly having the idea of being confused, Wu who was going to rest for a while threw the scroll in his hand to the table without hesitation.

After sitting for an hour, the body was as hard as a stone, and the soreness and numbness tormented the nerves and muscles of Wu.

Wu slowly straightened his back and stood up straight, raising and stretching his arms high and straight, stretching his muscles and bones lazily.

"Well...... Ha ————! ”

- The most comfortable thing is to stretch the tired and stiff nerves, and the comfortable thing always makes people yawn.

"What time is it?"

Glancing at the non-perforated clock dial next to the gate—it was exactly eleven o'clock.

Roughly measuring the rest time, Wu's mind has already arranged a perfect itinerary.

"It's decided! Rest until 12 o'clock sharp—then have lunch and get back to your homework! ”

He muttered confidently, quite satisfied with the itinerary he had secretly set in his heart.

Walk to the door on the right side of the hall, and that is the exit from the saloon and go to the first floor of the royal city.

It is a huge gate made of hard and dull quartz, about 8 meters high, about 5 meters wide, and weighs nearly 300 kilograms.

This is undoubtedly a very heavy obstacle for the thin and weak Wu.

In order to open this door, Wu pressed his slender arms and cheeks against the cold door, and then pushed with all the strength of his body—

The movement of the door was pitiful, even if it was already Wu's full strength.

It took about ten seconds before it was fully pushed away.

"How...... So...... It's heavy! ”

Rather helplessly, he grumbled from his panting mouth.

This door has been there since Wu was a child, but even though Wu is fifteen years old, he still can't open it easily.

As the door opened, a faint noise of conversation came into the room from outside.

Behind the door is a diamond staircase leading down to the first floor, which connects to the main lobby on the first floor, a public space for guests to chat.

And these noisy voices are the voices of the ministers and the nobles.

Judging from the volume and intensity, it seems that there are a lot of guests in the palace today, maybe there are some important meetings recently, right?

Wu calmly stepped on the stairs and walked down without being shy.

The length of the staircase is close to 100 meters, and it is also a bit steep. It is not easy to see the lobby on the first floor from the staircase.

The entire staircase is made of special diamonds, and it is a natural "rainbow staircase". There is a loud sound of glass colliding with every step.

This special type of diamond is capable of exhibiting a strange amount of light, and when viewed from different angles, the various surfaces of the diamond can emit different hues of color, which is full of visual effect.

Behind such vivid beauty, there is a great value.

These special diamonds are produced in the "Dragon Diamonds" of the easternmost powerhouse outside of Staphine, the Dragon Cult.

From afar, it looks like colorful fireworks, but up close, it looks like a group of shy elves, and the flickering light is teasing their eyes.

The Dragon Diamond is tempered on dragon scales and smelted with a high-level smelting magic called "Multiple Alchemy". It is said that with the number of scales grown by each adult dragon, it can only produce a small diamond of one carat at most, which is extremely valuable.

Look at this long staircase, it's made of 100% pure dragon diamonds, and this is the dragon scales of tens of thousands of adult dragons!
