I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

"Haha, Shi'an, in that case, how about your uncle ask someone to make you a blacksmith spear? You can use it to hit people or poke them." Nian Fu said.

The Nian family has its own blacksmiths. Because Nian Gui likes weapons and they also make weapons for the Nian family's soldiers, the Nian family has quite a lot of blacksmiths.

"A big iron spear? No, no, give me a big tree fork like that. The heavier the better. It will be especially useful for hitting people." Qin Shian said, pointing to a tree not far away.

Lin Fan and Nian Fu looked over and saw that Qin Shian was pointing at a tree with a trunk as thick as a calf. They couldn't help but click their tongues. If a weapon was really made from this tree, would anyone be able to lift it?

I'm afraid that even the world's number one general, Huangfu Pengwu, may not be able to do it?

"Shi'an, that won't work. Even if we make it, how can we lift it? Even if we lift it, it will be inconvenient to carry. Why don't we listen to our uncle and make an iron spear?" Lin Fan asked.

"Okay, then I'll listen to my brother." Qin Shian scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, that's it." Nian Fu said.

Lin Fan looked at Nian Fu and asked, "Uncle Nian Fu, how long does it take to make a suitable gun? I'm afraid we will have to go to war tomorrow, and I'm afraid we won't have enough time."

Lin Fan's worries were not without reason. Nian Gui was still trapped, and his life or death was uncertain. He certainly could not delay for too long.

"Don't worry about that. I'll let them prepare it now and it can be made tomorrow." Nian Fu calculated the time and chuckled.

"In that case, I would like to express my gratitude to Uncle Nianfu on behalf of Shi'an." Lin Fan said.

Qin Shian quickly imitated Lin Fan and smiled at Nian Fu, saying, "Hey, thank you, uncle."

"Oh, Your Highness, you are here. It took us so long to find you."

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

The voice sounded like a duck's, revealing a bit of femininity. Everyone looked and saw the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department running over in a hurry with a few young eunuchs.

"Why is Eunuch Hai here?" Lin Fan asked.

"Hey, Your Highness, His Majesty has given an order!" Hailong said.

"Your son accepts the order." Lin Fan said.

"Tell General Zhengbei to come to the palace immediately. There must be no mistake." Hailong said.

"Your son obeys your order." Lin Fan said. After that, Lin Fan looked at Hai Long and asked, "Eunuch Hai, I wonder what your father wants to see me about?"

Hailong shook his head. After the last experience, he dared not reveal any more information. He said, "Your Highness will know once he enters the palace. Hailong is just a servant of His Majesty. How dare I make such a guess?"

"Let's go, Your Highness. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long." Hailong urged.

"Fan'er, you go first. I will prepare everything for you." Nian Fu said to Lin Fan.

"Well, if you are undecided about anything, you can go and ask Taoist Zhang Guangzhi." Lin Fan said to Nian Fu.

"Brother, I want to go too." Qin Shian said quickly.

"Listen to me. Follow Uncle Nianfu home first. I'll be back soon. If you don't listen, I won't give you beef pancakes." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Oh fine."

Hai Long heard it clearly and whispered, "Your Highness, it is illegal to kill cattle and eat meat. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you?"

Lin Fan cursed in his heart, "You old eunuch thief, don't the imperial chefs in the palace still kill cows and cook?"

But Lin Fan couldn't say this out loud. If someone really made a fuss about this, although it wouldn't do anything to Lin Fan, it would still be disgusting.

Lin Fan walked up to Hailong and inconspicuously stuffed a gold bar into Hailong's sleeve.

"Eunuch Hai, I didn't kill the cow for its meat. The cow fell to its death. I am also very sad about this, but the dead cow cannot be resurrected and the meat cannot be wasted. Don't you think so, Eunuch Hailong?" Lin Fan asked with a smile. Now that he has reached a cooperation with the Shen family, Lin Fan doesn't care about money at all.

Feeling the weight in his sleeves, Hailong couldn't help but feel happy.

Eunuchs like them seemed to have a glamorous life, but they had no power and could not get sex, so they could only try their best to plunder these yellow and white things. Of course, Emperor Liang turned a blind eye and generally did not interfere.

"Oh, Your Highness, you are joking. I was just mentioning this. Since the cow fell to its death on its own, Your Highness should accept my condolences." Hailong said cheerfully.

The two of them suddenly became familiar with each other, like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, talking and laughing as they walked towards the palace.

"Eh? Uncle, will the cow fall to death?" Qin Shian asked without reacting.

"Haha, Fan'er, come on, Shi'an, I'll take you to forge weapons." Nian Fu said.

"Oh, okay." When Qin Shian heard that he was going to make weapons for himself, he forgot about what happened just now.

……

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Liang stood in front of the desk, the brush in his hand flying up and down, as if he was painting something. Lin Zhengguo was beside him, and the two of them were talking and laughing, showing their brotherhood.

Hailong walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

"Let him wait outside the palace." Emperor Liang said without raising his head.

"Yes."

Lin Fan was outside the palace and had not seen Emperor Liang summon him, so he couldn't help but feel bored.

After about half an hour, Hailong finally came out.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has been summoned by His Majesty."

As soon as Hai Long finished speaking, he saw Lin Rui rushing over and entering the Yangxin Palace with Lin Fan.

"Your son greets the father and the uncle." Lin Fan and Lin Rui spoke at the same time.

Emperor Liang ignored the two men and let them kneel. Instead, he looked at the Iron Hat King Lin Zhengguo and said, "Look, this painting is done, but there are no words on it. It looks a bit monotonous."

"Your Majesty, I am a humble subject with little talent and knowledge. How dare I show off in front of you? But I have heard that the two royal nephews are very talented. Why don't we let them write the inscriptions?" Lin Zhengguo asked.

"Well, you two get up." Emperor Liang said.

"Thank you, Father."

After hearing what Lin Zhengguo said, Lin Rui wanted to show off and said, "Father, can you let me see your writing before I write an inscription?"

Emperor Liang nodded slightly. Lin Rui hurriedly walked forward respectfully, took a look at the painting, and quickly composed a poem.

The general meaning of the poem written by Lin Rui is that brothers should be respectful to each other and should not have conflicts.

Emperor Liang had a blank expression on his face and said to Lin Fan, "Fan'er, come and take a look too."

"Yes."

Lin Fan walked forward and took a closer look at the painting on the table. He saw that it was a picture of Lin Fan and Lin Rui when they were children. The two people in the painting were playing together.

"Fan'er, I heard that you are very successful in Jiangnan. Can you write a poem for me?" Emperor Liang asked.

Lin Rui also knew the poems written by Lin Fan. Although he was dissatisfied, he could not deny that Lin Fan's poems were indeed well written. He wanted to suppress him, so he said: "Brother, you are very talented, and writing poems is naturally not difficult for you. Otherwise, how about you write a poem in seven steps?"
