Chapter 68 succeeded
After coming out of Xianyang Prison, Xu Yuwen did not go directly to the palace, he always felt that what Ran Fang said was a bit exaggerated.
If he told His Majesty directly, if it didn't have such a good effect at that time, then how would he explain it to His Majesty.
So, when he returned to the house, he was going to find someone to study first.
These things are not difficult to find, and the court is not a forbidden thing in the court, he quickly found all the things, and then asked the housekeeper Xu Zhan to take the workers to start researching.
After a few days of study, there was no significant progress.
Seeing that the day of the expedition was imminent, Xu Yuwen was even more anxious, especially when there was some progress during this time, and this thing seemed to be really useful, so he was even more anxious.
On this day, he was supervising the work in the house, squatting in the courtyard with the workers, studying what was wrong with this thing.
Seeing someone from the palace coming, a eunuch walked up to him and said in a loud voice: "Lord Xu, Your Majesty has summoned you to enter the palace immediately, without delay." ”
It stands to reason that he will go out with the team in a few days, and he will not be able to enter the palace in these days.
Now His Majesty suddenly came to take him personally, and seeing that the eunuch was still very anxious, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart about whether there was a change in the matter of going to Surabaya County.
Without waiting for him to say anything, Xu Zhan, who was beside him, took out a money bag from his sleeve, stepped forward and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.
"Father-in-law Gao, it's hard work."
Gao Yi weighed it in his hand, and his originally serious expression immediately brought a smile between his eyebrows.
put away the money bag, looked at Xu Yuwen and said, "It's a good thing that Lord Xu relaxes." ”
In this way, Xu Yuwen was relieved a lot.
looked at Gao Yi with a smile and nodded, "Thank you Grandpa Gao, then I'll go and change into my official uniform first." ”
Gao Yi didn't have the slightest impatience on his face, and made a gesture of please.
"Lord Xu, please."
After changing his clothes and coming out, Xu Yuwencai and Gao Yi entered the palace to meet Yingzheng.
When he came to Zhangtai Palace, he saw that Meng Yi was also there.
This Meng Yi is a close confidant of His Majesty, and he has been studying some novel things in Shaofu during this time, and even the paper was made by Meng Yi, and the ministers of the court have not seen him for a long time.
They are all speculating about what new thing he has made this time.
Unexpectedly, I saw him in His Majesty's palace this time.
Now is not the time to greet him, he respectfully saluted Yingzheng and said, "See Your Majesty." ”
Ying Zheng's face was full of joy, and it was not difficult to guess what was going on.
However, Xu Yuwen noticed that there was a gray thing on Ying Zheng's table, which looked not in harmony with the whole table.
He didn't look closely, lowered his head and waited for Yingzheng's instructions.
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said softly, "No courtesy." ”
Then he pointed at Meng Yi and said, "Let's start." ”
Xu Yuwen, who didn't know what was going on, saw a eunuch take out an iron basin with some gray powder in it, which looked familiar.
After the eunuch put the iron basin away, Meng Yi immediately stepped forward, picked up the bucket beside him, and poured half a bucket of water into it.
It was also at this time that Xu Yuwen saw that there was a bucket of water beside Meng Yi, the water in the bucket was not full, and there was a wooden stick in the bucket, and there was something stained on the stick.
He watched as Meng Yi poured water into it, and immediately began to stir it with a wooden stick.
At this point, he understood what Meng Yi was doing.
This is cement, the same cement he's been making these days.
It seems that this is also what His Majesty asked him to do.
It was also at this moment that he understood that His Majesty knew what was happening in prison, and whether he came to report to His Majesty or not, His Majesty also knew about this matter.
And let Meng Yi make it, faster than he did.
In his silence, Meng Yi had already mixed the cement.
"Your Majesty, it's okay, what shape will you make this time?"
Ying Zheng didn't speak this time, he turned his gaze to Xu Yuwen, and the excitement in his eyes had calmed down.
He asked lightly, "Xu Qing, what do you want?" ”
Xu Yuwen, who was named, looked at the cement that had been stirred into a paste, there was a faint expectation in his eyes, and a deep shock, his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.
Although he didn't see that it had been formed, it was enough for him to be surprised that he could do this.
He took his eyes off the cement and said respectfully, "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said casually, "Meng Yi, you can do whatever you want." ”
Hearing this, Meng Yi squatted there and smeared all the cement on the edge of the basin, looking like he had just wiped the cement apart.
"Your Majesty, just wait for another half an hour."
Xu Yuwen had only heard about the efficacy of cement from Ran Fang's mouth, but now he really saw it, and his eyes looked at the changes in cement without moving.
Especially now, it is obvious that His Majesty and Meng Yi believe this, and there is an indescribable implication in his heart.
It seems that he knew about this thing first, and he originally wanted to use this thing to invite credit, but now he has become a bystander, and he doesn't know whether to expect success or disappointment.
In this way, three people with three pairs of eyes are staring at this cement basin.
Although the process was boring and boring, everyone was a little excited, and they didn't feel that time had passed for a long time.
Ying Zheng is different from them, and after watching it for a while, he started to do his own thing on stage.
In this way, half an hour passed unhurriedly.
Meng Yi and Xu Yuwen turned their heads at the same time, looked at Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the chapter, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the time has come." ”
Hearing the voice, Ying Zheng put down the things in his hand and nodded.
"Well, take a look."
Hearing this, Meng Yi motioned to Xu Yuwen, "Lord Xu, you give it a try." ”
Xu Yuwen squatted down suspiciously, and gently pressed his fingers on the cement in the basin, but he didn't press it, and he felt a cold and hard feeling.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he raised his head to look at Meng Yi, and then pressed it with his entire palm, and he actually felt an unshakable feeling.
"This ...... This is cement?! ”
Seeing him so excited, Ying Zheng still had some disdain in his eyes, was his courtier so uncontrollable?
Thinking about it, he glanced over the gray ornament on the table and picked it up with his hand.
"How?"
Xu Yuwen noticed that the things in Ying Zheng's hand were the same color as the cement in this pot, and he realized that before he came, Meng Yi must have demonstrated it to His Majesty.
His face was excited, and his hands trembled a little excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is a divine object!" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to tap the cement again with his hand, as if he was not sure.
Seeing his intentions, Meng Yi handed him the wooden stick in the bucket.
"Lord Xu, give it a try with this."
You can't bring weapons when you enter the palace, it's very rare to see a wooden stick in His Majesty's palace, and now you have to beat this with a wooden stick, Xu Yuwen hesitated.
Under Ying Zheng's encouraging gaze, he slowly took the wooden stick and hit it the cement basin.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound sounded in the temple.
The cement basin did not change in the slightest, but the wooden stick had cracks.
At this moment, everyone present was stunned.
It was still a plate of powder, but now it is as hard as a rock!
"It's really my Great Qin's blessing!"
Xu Yuwen and Meng Yi knelt on the ground excitedly, this is simply a miracle!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
