But he's no longer the reckless poor security guard, and he still has a shred of sanity in his head.

The beautiful woman in front of him, if it was the fifth lady of Cao Mansion, he would have pounced on it and conquered it on the spot.

He is happy to give Cao Qichang, an old thief, a big green hat.

But this is the queen in front of her, and this green hat is amazing.

He is still just a prince of the prison country, far from the supreme son of heaven, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss of no return.

"Queen Mother, the night wind is cold, don't freeze, let's go into the house."

As he spoke, he took off his coat and gently draped it over the beautiful woman.

Cao Feiyan naturally felt his tenderness and love, raised her eyes to look at Ailang's handsome face, and nodded with a smile.

She clasped her fingers with him and slowly walked into the dormitory.

"It's getting late, it's time for the queen mother to rest, and the son's resignation, otherwise, gossip will be spread, which is not good for us, and the future will be long..."

Yuan Zhi gently struggled with the queen's jade hand, bowed down, and returned to normal.

Cao Feiyan also knew the serious consequences of this incident, and smiled bitterly helplessly, "Okay, remember your promise, don't coax this palace." ”

"That's nature."

After saying that, Yuan Zhi turned around and strode away.

Along the way, his heart could not be calmed for a long time.

He knew very well in his heart that the queen had given up the bear paw of competing for the crown after a painful ideological struggle.

But she will firmly bite the prince and hold on to the fish.

Nearly thirty years old, the queen is in the situation of a tiger and a wolf, in this kind of yin deep palace mansion, lust is like a Pandora's box, once there is no restraint, it will be very open and unscrupulous.

But Yuan Zhi can't, he is now in shackles, and there is the current emperor on it, he can't do whatever he wants without scruples.

How to deal with the queen and not take a step beyond the thunder pool is a big test for the prince.

But no matter what, tonight was quite fruitful, and I didn't expect the queen to give up the Jin king's bid for the crown prince and reduce a strong opponent.

The rest is Cao's mansion, without the pretense of the King of Jin competing for the prince, Cao Qichang can only see the poor dagger, and he has to show his fangs of rebellion and put on an ugly face.

If he rebels, he will lose his righteousness and become helpless, and gradually become isolated.

In this way, it will be much easier for the prince to knock him down.

Yuan Zhi thought for a long time and returned to the East Palace with great ambition.

Tonight, he wants to vent the lust aroused by the queen mother on Luan Feng.

……

Three days later, Cao Kesheng was ordered by the prince of the prison state to go to Dunhuang in Guazhou to serve as the assassin of Guazhou and the Taishou of Dunhuang.

Yuan Zhi held a grand farewell ceremony in the East Palace.

The assassin was equivalent to the governor of the province in later generations, with both civil and military duties, and had 20,000 soldiers.

The prince hurriedly sent Cao Kesheng over, mainly because Dunhuang was a transit point for strategic materials in the Western Regions, and there could be no mistakes.

Now that the war is entangled, it is impossible to decide the winner before the end of the year.

There are 100,000 rebel troops in the Western Regions, plus the original 50,000 or 60,000 border troops, and their military needs are a big problem.

The whole country had to tighten their belts to support this protracted war.

This may be a trump card of Cao Fu.

Cao Kesheng's eldest son, Cao Shi, accompanied his father, awarded the six-rank martial arts, and served as the second battalion general in the garrison battalion of the Assassin's Mansion.

Mrs. Yang, who could not accompany her due to serious injuries, was temporarily in the capital, and it will be determined later depending on the situation.

This time the whole family reunited for a few days, the communication was smooth, and the whole family was immersed in the joy of Concubine Lan's pregnancy.

If you can give birth to a son, you will be the eldest son of the emperor in the future, although you are not a descendant, you may not be able to become the crown prince.

Mother is more precious than son, and Cao Feilan will at least be the position of the imperial concubine in the future, second only to the queen.

Cao Kesheng also learned from Lan'er about the insidious and vicious nature of his eldest brother Cao Qichang.

coerced his niece into the East Palace to act as a pawn, and ordered Lan'er to poison the prince.

If it weren't for the prince's tolerance, Lan'er would have been cut by a thousand knives, and her family would have been affected.

This time, Cao Kesheng led his family to Beijing, and he sent killers to commit murder, and there was no brotherhood of the same clan.

You do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth.

Cao Kesheng has already made up his mind to share the sky with Cao Qichang, and they are incompatible.

A discerning person can see clearly that the prince threw Cao Kesheng's chess piece, with far-reaching intentions, and there is a great tendency to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle.

This also indicates that the action of the prince of the prison state to clean up the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang has begun.

How could Cao Fu sit idly by?

In another bigger contest, the two sides are already on track.

……

By the end of October, the cold winter season is about to begin.

The black and bright coal of Jindi has been transported into the East Palace and stacked in the backyard of the racecourse.

The heating renovation project of the East Palace has been started a few days earlier.

This time, led by Lei Jingtian, the head of the Ministry of Engineering, the construction drawings were drawn according to the prince, including fireplaces, earth pits and other smoke exhaust systems.

Start with the Zhengyang Palace, the Qinzheng Hall and the West Study, and after passing the first acceptance, it will be fully launched in the East Palace.

Then there is the entire imperial city harem, from Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, Funing Palace, etc.

Finally, there are the yamen of the imperial city.

It is planned to be fully completed by the end of the year.

In the palace, except for the supervisors sent by the Ministry of Works, all the eunuchs participated in the work.

A total of nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the palace went into battle, and thousands of palace maids engaged in logistics services.

This winter is enough for them to be tired, but they will be comfortable in the future.

It solves the heating of the cold winter wax moon in the deep palace, and dozens of people die every year because of freezing or frostbite.

There are also a lot of arthritis, rheumatism, chilblains, etc.

At the very least, the happiness index in the palace has increased this winter.

For the major yamen inside and outside the palace, the prince decided to use a cast iron furnace and an exhaust pipe to solve the heating of the yamen and many people's homes.

The structural diagram of the cast iron furnace, Yuan Zhi is familiar with the road, and it is drawn out and handed over to the Ministry of Industry to organize the iron mill to manufacture.

This kind of cast iron furnace will be promoted throughout the country, so that the private investment to build factories and workshops, production and sales.

In view of the current situation at home and abroad, Yuan Zhi understands very well that in addition to vigorously developing farming, animal husbandry and fishery, it is also necessary to strengthen the excavation of mineral resources, vigorously develop manufacturing and handicraft industries, and develop the economy.

Yuan Zhi is a person who came from later generations, and naturally understands the importance of the market economy.

He vigorously promoted the combination of government and business and private business, that is, various economic forms such as 'government-supervised-run and private-run enterprises' or 'government-private joint ventures'.

He asked the Privy Council Xu Xinchun and them to draw up an outline document for economic development based on his guiding ideology.

This idea is too advanced, Xu Xinchun and they don't have such a concept at all, Yuan Zhi can only act as the chief designer, guide item by item, personally review, and revise.

At this time, he was so busy that he was in a hurry, and he was even in a hurry to get to the pit.

Seeing the craftsmen and eunuchs who were busy all the time, Gao Jin, the chief manager who followed the prince like a ghost, was still a little uneasy in his heart.

He asked the prince in a low voice who was reviewing the documents, and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, are you sure there are no problems? Is it really possible to solve the toxicity of that charcoal? ”

Yuan Zhi was repeatedly made big by this question.
