Mother, I have returned to the throne.

The sword is obtained.

A gleam of light burst out from Song Youji's pupils.

He calmly ran his fingers over the blade, after the previous collision.

Even the thinnest blade remained intact at this moment.

Look at another knife.

It has been completely broken into two pieces.

If only such a magical weapon could be popularized on the battlefield.

When you become an enemy, you can easily cut off the blade in the opponent's hand... Even if the barbarians are strong and powerful, how can they be the opponent of the Qin soldiers if they are unarmed?

In just a moment, Song Youji realized the value behind this knife.

It is no exaggeration to say that this seemingly insignificant little thing can completely determine the outcome of the war.

"Your Majesty, could you please let me take a look at this?"

Song Youji's face was gloomy, he held a long sword in his hand, and remained silent for a long time, but many ministers in the audience were somewhat unable to stand.

Have a good baby.

Don’t keep it all to yourself!

It's a feast for our eyes.

At that moment, General Zhao, who was Song Youji's closest confidant, stood up first. While he spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Give!"

Song Youji was in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he handed the long sword to the other party.

All of a sudden, civil and military officials came forward.

Just to see it with my own eyes and see if this knife is really that magical.

"This precious sword can cut through metal and iron without any damage. It is simply a divine weapon!"

"Amazing, truly amazing! The Crown Prince always manages to surprise us one after another. How many surprises has this happened since the barbarians arrived?"

"This sword may seem ordinary, but if it can become widespread, the combat effectiveness of our Great Qin will surely rise. We will have nothing to fear from barbarians in the future."

"That's right. With such a magical weapon in hand, killing barbarians is as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs. If there's another time, let's see how arrogant his high priest can be!"

All of a sudden, all the generals rushed forward.

After passing it around to each other, they sat together and sighed.

The civil servants standing by looked at these burly men in front of them with eager eyes. How could they squeeze to the front with their frail bodies?

"Your Majesty, I believe that the forging technology behind this sword is truly unprecedented. We must master it. Then, our Great Qin will surely grow stronger!"

General Zhao finally grabbed the knife and knelt down to Song Youji immediately.

Song Youji rolled his eyes in annoyance.

How come what I wanted to say came out of your mouth?

"Do you need to teach me this kind of thing?"

At that moment, Song Youji glared at General Zhao fiercely, then slowly turned his head and asked Song Yuan.

"Yuan'er, let me ask you, where did you get this knife?"

Everyone just thought that Song Yuan got this knife by chance.

As for what Song Yuan said about independent research, no one took it seriously at all.

Who has ever heard of a prince who can forge iron?

This thing requires basic skills, and it is not something that a prince can handle.

"Father, I personally mastered this skill. Most of the knowledge within it comes from that ancient book I mentioned before!"

Regarding the so-called ancient books mentioned by Song Yuan.

Everyone present had heard about it before, and now when they heard Song Yuan mention it again, they all nodded.

"Grand Prince, are you willing to hand over this method to the Qin Dynasty?" General Zhao stepped forward immediately and asked.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Song Yuan, quietly waiting for his answer.

"General Zhao, isn't it strange that you say that?" Song Yuan feigned surprise and said, "If I hadn't taught my father this method first, would I have brought this knife here just to show off?"

"Father, this level of skill is beyond my reach. I only know the theory, but when it comes to practice, the blacksmiths who follow me are the best."

"If possible, I can just find those blacksmiths and teach them. I believe it won't be long before this craft flourishes."

"Hahaha, don't make so much trouble!" Song Youji's face lit up with joy at Song Yuan's generosity, and he waved his hand.

"Wouldn't it be better to just have your men report to the Ministry of Industry and become craftsmen there?"

You cheap bastard, you are clearly trying to steal my own customers!

Song Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately realized what Song Youji was thinking. But then he thought that such an arrangement might not be a bad thing for those craftsmen.

With such skills, maybe he could even get a position in the Ministry of Works.

In this way, I have given some explanation to them.

"Your Majesty, after I return, I will arrange for them to report to the Ministry of Works as soon as possible. However, I hope that the Ministry of Works can pay attention to talents at that time!" Song Yuan nodded and said.

As soon as these words came out, Song Youji burst into laughter.

It seems as if I have already seen this knife shining brightly on the battlefield, cutting off the weapons in the hands of the enemy.

"But..." No one expected that Song Yuan would have more to say after this.

"However, my blacksmiths have the best relationships with my followers. As far as I know, they have privately promised that once this steel is tested successfully, they will equip each of my followers with a piece!"

"That's easy. When the Ministry of Industry masters this skill, they will definitely equip your people with all the necessary equipment first. How about that?" Song Youji raised his eyebrows and promised immediately.

Song Yuan then smiled and nodded.

Song Youji then warned him earnestly, "Boy, you gave me such a big surprise before leaving. I'm really surprised. But... don't let this little thing distract you. You can have fun but don't forget to study the art of war!"

"Your wedding to Situ Jing will naturally be arranged by someone in the court. You don't need to worry too much about it. Starting tomorrow, you need to go to the Ministry of War and be more attentive."

Seeing that Song Youji took it so seriously, Song Yuan felt warm in his heart and nodded with a smile: "Father, I will definitely remember this lesson."

For a moment, the hall was filled with the atmosphere of loving fathers and filial sons.

But no one expected that at such a critical moment, the third prince actually supported himself and stood up, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience.

"Father, I believe that big brother's contribution should not be underestimated. As the saying goes, rewards should be given according to merit. This time, big brother must be rewarded well!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned.

Has the Third Prince's brain been damaged by the beating? Has he gone mad?

The fight between the two was known to everyone. The entire imperial city knew that the Third Prince and Song Yuan seemed to be at odds with each other.

When did the Third Prince actually take the initiative to plead for Song Yuan?

Song Youji was slightly taken aback and asked, "I'm really surprised by what you said. Why don't you tell me what you really think?"

"Replying to Your Majesty." The Third Prince's face darkened, and he spoke with a hint of regret, "I used to be jealous of my elder brother. For a little credit, I slandered him more than once. Now that I'm injured and bedridden, I've reflected deeply, and now I realize how big a mistake I've made."

"Big Brother and I are like brothers. I was really too petty in thinking that way before."

"Now I just hope to reconcile with my elder brother, but I don't know if he is willing to give me this opportunity."

When the third prince Song Qi finished speaking, his eyes stared straight at Song Yuan.

There is sincerity in his pupils.

He even bowed to Song Yuan in front of all the civil and military officials.

Acting, huh?

But how could Song Yuan not see Song Qi's little thoughts?

This guy, after getting beaten, finally came to his senses.

I know what it means to save the country by taking a roundabout way.

Now he clearly wanted to use his reputation to restore his impression in Song Youji's eyes.

But since the other party has said this, how can Song Yuan refuse?

"Third brother, what you said is serious. I have always wanted to make peace with you, but you were the one who kept holding on to me!"

"Now that you have such intentions, it will be easy for me to talk to you. On the wedding day, we will definitely have a couple of drinks together."

Now that we have a good relationship, shouldn't you increase the gift money appropriately?

Song Yuan, with his own little calculations in mind, responded immediately.

At the same time, he looked at Song Youji and said, "Father, as for any reward, I dare not hope for it. In my opinion, as the prince of the Great Qin, these are what I should do."

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will make arrangements immediately. After those people report to the Ministry of Works, I will also go to learn the art of war."

"Good good!"

Song Youji looked relieved and nodded with a smile.

After watching Song Yuan leave the hall, his face suddenly darkened.

He turned around and looked at the Fourth Prince and roared.

"Fourth Brother, come here, tell me."

"Is your eldest brother's behavior a merit or a rebellion?"
