In the palace, craftsmen gathered around a huge stone, admiring it, knocking and banging.
"This thing is so magical."
"I didn't hear the emperor say, this is called cement, tsk tsk... I didn't expect cement to be like this, so hard."
|Bang~, I remembered the dull sound of a sledge hammer. After the cement solidified, only a shallow mark was left on the stone, and there were no cracks. It made people marvel and marvel.
If this thing was used to repair the city wall, what would the nomads in the north have to fear? Zhu Houzhao was not planning to build the city wall, but was preparing to take a good rest after mass production. He found that in addition to the four gates of the capital, , except for the main roads, other road sections are full of potholes. Every time I go out, I feel unhappy. They are dirty and the infrastructure is not up to standard. How can I do this? I patted my head and thought of cement roads again. Let’s go there. How comfortable it is to get up.
These craftsmen gathered around and talked a lot.
"Why don't you hurry up and report it? The emperor said that anything developed in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau must be reported, so hurry up."
Everyone just remembered this incident and almost forgot. Yes, I sent it to the emperor, but if you have money, the mother-in-law at home can buy some good food and drink for the family.
When the chamberlain brought the news to the emperor to ask for credit, the emperor was not there and did not know where he had gone. The chamberlain had to wait outside the Yangxin Hall.
But at this time in the Qiong Tower, Mou Bin looked at several people with a serious look on his face. Several servants from Jingzhao Mansion were driven away directly. They were not popular at all and were not even qualified to ask him to question them. Get out.
The detectives of Jingzhao Mansion led their men and left Qionglou as if they were running away. In this place of right and wrong, it is better to go back early to return to duty. As for the magistrate, hey, does the magistrate dare to challenge Mou Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei? ?
On the street opposite the Qiong Tower, Zhang Cai was sitting in a sedan chair waiting for news. When he saw Mou Bin and his men appearing, he was stunned and confused at first, and then saw the Jingzhao Mansion police officer rolling out in despair. After entering Qiong Tower, I realized that something must have happened inside, but I just didn’t know what happened to Gao Yan?
Mou Bin's eyes were filled with trembling anger. No one dared to look at him, but they had to answer his questions. Li Xiangchen, a seventh-grade inspection censor, an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, if it had been before, Maybe he would dare to rely on Qingliu's identity to argue with reason and show off.
But now, the current emperor obviously intends to reuse the Jin Yiwei to build momentum for them and eradicate King Ning's party. They have contributed a lot. Tiqi is everywhere, sweeping away the bullies in the world, sharpening the sword. If anyone dares to touch their brows at this time, then Just looking for death, just to scare the monkeys, to see if you will jump.
Li Xiangchen gritted his teeth and said with a dry smile, "This is my official who just made a mistake out of necessity. Please..."
Snapped.
Mou Bin glared, stretched out his hand and slapped him.
Everyone present was shocked.
"Who are you? How dare you accuse them of being imperial prisoners? You are so brave." Mou Bin took a step forward and shouted.
Li Xiangchen was beaten, with a frightened and bewildered look on his face. He touched half of his face with his hand, and while retreating in panic, he explained: "Master Mou, I know I was wrong. Please listen to my explanation."
Mu Bin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and shouted impatiently at his men; "Why are you just standing there stupidly? Let me capture him."
Li Xiangchen was confused, what? Take it? Commander, are you mistaken? The official is not guilty, why?
"My lord, you..."
Boom, Jin Yiwei Baihu stepped forward and punched him in the stomach to prevent him from continuing. He pulled out a dirty rag from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth vigorously. A guard in Jinyi took him out of Qionglou under control and took him to the imperial prison.
Mou Bin looked at Gao Yan, the Ministry of Rites, with eyes that wanted to choose someone to devour. Gao Yan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I'm leaving now. It's a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding."
Gao Yan called out to his subordinates and yelled, "Let's go."
The Jinyi guards of a hundred households each had a sword and watched them leave coldly. Gao Yan broke out in cold sweat and looked mortified. Although he was angry, he did not dare to show up. If it were their Lord Shangshu, he might dare to challenge him. But what does a fifth-grade minister mean? He didn't see Li Xiangchen being imprisoned because of his bad mouth.
Zhang Cai first saw Li Xiangchen being escorted out, but he was still hesitant. Then when he saw Gao Yan also leaving in a panic, he realized that things had changed. I was afraid that the guy named Zhu Shou had a lot of background. , I didn’t see that even Mou Bin came with people in person.
The situation is not right, run away quickly and go home.
"Go back." Zhang Cai ordered in a deep voice in the sedan chair.
After everyone left, Mou Bin nodded in approval and said, "Fortunately, you reported the news in time. You did a good job on this matter."
"Thank you for your appreciation, sir. I'm afraid of this humble position." The madam quickly bowed down and expressed awe.
She still hasn't come to her senses yet, which kind of immortal Zhu Shou is, but it's not her place to find out. She knows the rules of Jinyiwei.
Mou Bin didn't care what she thought. He took a look around and saw many cowering people standing not far away. Looking over here, he couldn't help but frowned and shouted: "You are still standing there." What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me to invite you to go to the prison for a walk? Why don't you get out."
Wow, the crowd immediately ran away, it was so damn scary, they just came to have fun, but I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing, it’s so damn unlucky, hurry up, hurry up, I don’t want to go to prison.
The madam's brows twitched, "Sir, you scared them away with just one word, but they haven't given me any money yet, my money."
Mou Bin ordered his subordinates: "Guard this place, no one is allowed to come near."
"yes."
He said to the old bustard: "Take me to see Mr. Zhu." Mou Bin almost said, take him to see the emperor, but luckily he came to his senses.
The madam heard something different. The master was obviously afraid of something. What was he afraid of? He thought in his heart, but said flatteringly on his face: "Master Zhu is living in the back, listening to music with the little girl. Please come this way." "
Mou Bin went alone. He didn't want so many people to know. When he arrived in front of the courtyard, Mou Bin said again, "Go to the front courtyard and wait. If you have orders, I will summon you."
The madam knew that the master didn't want her to know too much, so she said sensibly, "I'm humble and just obey orders."
There was no one here, so she claimed to be in a humble position.
Mou Bin nodded and watched her leave. It wasn't until he was sure that the Madam had gone far that he straightened his clothes and walked towards the courtyard step by step. The guards guarding the emperor were hiding in the dark, staring at him. Although they know Mou Bin, they will not forget their responsibilities. It is their duty to protect the emperor. Anyone who threatens the emperor is a person who can be killed. No matter what you are, the three princes, the six ministries and the nine ministers. , what is the Commander of the Imperial Guard?
Liu Jin saw him and whispered in his ear again: "Mo Bin is here."
Zhu Houzhao looked sideways, nodded and said, "Let him come over."
Liu Jin bowed and retreated, with a cautious and humble attitude that made Hua Yurong puzzled. If he were an ordinary official, this gift would be too much. If what the godmother said was true, then Mr. Zhu must be a nobleman of the royal family, and he could only serve him. Only the servants around those people have such humility.
What surprised her the most was that in front of the hospital, there was a high-ranking official wearing a python robe. If she admitted it correctly, he must be at least a third-rank official or above. Only then could he have the opportunity to be given special court robes by the emperor, which represented nobility and the emperor. of honor.
But such a high-ranking official of the imperial court stood cautiously outside the courtyard and looked around without barging in. This was because she was dazzled or the identity of Mr. Zhu was so shocking that it was enough to frighten a court official. An official of rank three or above.
"The emperor lets you go, be careful what you say, don't reveal the emperor's identity." Liu Jin reminded him.
Mou Bin nodded, looked inside again, and then at the beautiful woman beside him, he knew that the emperor was playing a trick of playing with dragons and phoenixes, but be careful, it would not be fun if the emperor had no time to play. of.
From the first time Zhu Houzhao appeared in Qionglou, he understood that the emperor loved to play. This was his character when he was still the prince.
Hua Yurong was about to stand up and salute, but Zhu Houzhao gently pressed the folding fan in his hand so that she did not need to salute.
Then Zhu Houzhao waved his hands casually without looking back, as if it was just a trivial matter. This attitude made Hua Yurong feel confused again, and she couldn't help but worry a little, fearing that she might offend this adult. , but Mou Bin’s next performance made her relieved and dumbfounded at the same time.
"Young Master makes atonement for his sins. Mou Bin from Beizhi came late and disturbed Young Master's pleasure. Fortunately, Beizhi's men reported it in time. The person who caused trouble has been captured by Beizhi's order. The person behind the scenes will be found by Beizhi and I will give you an explanation."
Hua Yurong's little mouth opened slightly in an "O" shape. She heard something. A court official in a python robe apologized to Mr. Zhu, just because someone disturbed his elegance. This, his brain is not enough, Mr. Zhu Who is he?
Zhu Houzhao loved her so much when he saw her surprised and charming look. He was very proud of her. Such a good opportunity. If I were to step forward and hold her in my arms now, she would be so beautiful. It's a pity that these two ignorant guys are stuck here. Here, if you want to see me show how to chase women, then just show me.
He shamelessly did just that.
"Yurong, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again when I have time. One day in the future, I'll come back to pick you up. Wait for me." Zhu Houzhao finally couldn't help but walked over, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and held her in his arms. Here, he said softly.
She leaned over without any struggle, but she was a little tense and stiff. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were closed tightly, showing tension, joy, and shyness.
Mou Bin and Liu Jin bowed in unison and silently exited the hospital. They still didn't know what to do and walked away. They really wanted to stay and watch the Emperor's performance.
"I don't dare to ask for anything extravagantly. I just hope that the young master will never forget my family, and Yurong will have nothing to ask for." With a blushing face, she leaned into his arms, lightly parted her lips, and whispered in response.
I wonder if something should happen at this time. This thousand-year-old virgin, after being influenced by Zhu Houzhao's memory, finally came to his senses. He looked down at the beauty in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her.
For a long time, their lips parted, their eyes met, and their affection continued.
Hua Yurong has never been so bold. This feeling makes her a little shy and a little strange. She used to be a lady, but she has never been so bold.
Zhu Houzhao finally suppressed his urge to execute her on the spot, slowly let go of his arms around her, and said with a smile, "Wait for me." Zhu Houzhao turned and left.
Hua Yurong was about to cry. She had longed for her lover to appear, but she had to break up again in an instant. However, this time Zhu Houzhao personally promised her that she would no longer have to worry about gains and losses.
Young Master, the slave family is satisfied with having you. Take care, Young Master, and Yurong is waiting for your return.
The maid stepped forward to help her, feeling happy for the young lady. At last Mr. Zhu did not let down the young lady's affection, and you have a good conscience.
Zhu Houzhao left the courtyard. Mou Bin and Liu Jin carefully followed him. On the way, Liu Jin carefully explained what had just happened. Zhu Houzhao listened quietly and soon understood that someone was here to target Zhu Shou. Yes, I want to cause trouble and seek death. Even my woman dares to make plans.
Just thinking about it, he understood whose handiwork it was, and who else, besides those dandy boys who lost bets, who else could it be?
How else could Zhu Houzhao react besides being confused? Originally, he had forgotten about this bet. It was just a bunch of brats' nonsense. Did he still care? But now those people are so determined to seek death again, then But no wonder he thought of the bet again. Since I made the bet, I must fulfill my promise, otherwise, where will my face be?
"Mou Qing, send me a message, saying that the seventh son of the capital made an agreement with Zhu Shou, the leader, and now they have fulfilled the agreement."
"According to the order."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. If those ministers hadn't made trouble, he might have ended his status as a thousand-year-old virgin today.
When he returned to the palace, he immediately found the eunuchs waiting outside the Yangxin Hall.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the cement building has been made, and I am here to tell you the good news."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he finally figured it out. Originally, in his imagination, cement was the best, but it happened to be the other way around. If he hadn't only been engaged in inventions and creations in his previous life, he wouldn't have figured out the proportion of cement. Forgot.
In fact, he originally wanted to engage in asphalt, but after thinking about it, that thing was too toxic and rich in carcinogens. With today's crude technology, he had better forget it, so cement was the first choice. There was a propaganda slogan in his previous life, How do you say that? I remember it seems that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. I have to build roads, and only by building roads can I get rich.
