The villain, his beauty is flourishing [Quick travel]

The convoy of the Wei State's envoy stopped at the post station in the capital of the State of Jin.

From a distance, they saw a group of horses waiting at the gate of the post station, Qi Shao, Wei Chao and others got off the carriage.

"I have met His Highness Crown Prince Wei, and I have seen the First Prince." The Minister of Rites who was ordered to welcome the Crown Prince of Wei saw them get off the carriage, and hurried up to greet them.

Qi Shao looked at Wei Chao, pointed to the official wearing a gauze hat in front of him, "This is the current Minister of Rites of our Jin Kingdom, Master Liu."

"Please wait here, Mr. Liu." Wei Chao smiled slightly, "There was snow on the road, and the carriage was delayed on the road for a while."

"His Majesty the Emperor Jin summoned me today?"

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness came from a long distance, and the journey was full of wind and snow. His Majesty understands your hard journey, so you are allowed to take a short rest at the post station, and we will meet again tomorrow."

"The inn has already been cleaned, and it's still snowing outside. His Royal Highness, let's warm up inside first."

Qi Shao couldn't stay at the post station, so after saying goodbye to Wei Chao, he and Zheng Er went to the Taimiao first, and put incense sticks on his father's spirit tablet.

When Qi Shaochu heard the news of the death of Emperor Jin Yuan, he was extremely sad, but no matter how sad he was, time would dilute his emotions.

After a few words of regret for not seeing Emperor Jinyuan for the last time, Qi Shao talked about what he saw and heard in Weiguo in front of Emperor Jinyuan's spirit card, and babbled for a long time, and then reminded by Zheng Er and others, He went out of the Taimiao again, got into a carriage and went to the palace.

"Hey, Zheng Er." Qi Shao felt bored in the carriage alone, so he opened the curtain to chat with Zheng Er who was driving, "What kind of prince do you think Uncle Wang will add to me this time? He has succeeded, Why can't I continue to be a prince?"

Before the prince of the Jin Dynasty was crowned king, he could only have one wife, two concubines, and a roommate, but the prince was different. The prince could have one concubine, four concubines, and several concubines. If he was crowned prince, those beauties in his backyard should also He has a legitimate identity.

Speaking of which, that woman Du Hongdie was about to give birth soon.

Thinking of this, Qi Shao became less interested in chatting, and he still remembered that the child in Du Hongdie's belly might be his cuckold evidence.

"Eldest Prince, we've arrived at the gate of the palace, it's time to get off the carriage."

Qi Shao came back to his senses, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

"Eldest Prince, you are back." Lin Dahai, who was guarding the gate of the palace, stepped forward excitedly, "Your Majesty sent servants to pick you up."

Hey, Uncle Huang still remembers to send someone to pick him up?

Qi Shao felt overwhelmed and flattered, his feet were a little bit windy when he walked, his whole body seemed to be spattered with chicken blood.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Qi Heng was summoning the Minister of Industry and Commerce.

Two guards walked in carrying a large wooden box, and the wooden box opened, revealing a pile of bricks inside.

"This is what you made according to that recipe?" Qi Heng stepped down the steps and looked at the things in the box.

"The raw material process of this kind of brick is basically the same as the blue brick we use now, but the firing process of the blue brick is complicated and expensive, and it is rare for ordinary people to use it." The minister of the Ministry of Industry said in a somewhat excited tone, "But the recipe of Princess Yan Although the texture and hardness of the bricks produced are not as good as green bricks, the process is simple, and as long as there are enough brick kilns, they can be produced continuously.”

Blue bricks are rare and expensive, and few people except the royal family can use them. Nowadays, most houses in Jin State are built with adobe bricks and wood. Poorer families can't even save wood, so they can only use thatch and cow dung. Build a house.

And such a house is basically not sheltered from the wind, and there are many cases of people freezing to death every winter.

"How many bricks like this can the Ministry of Industry manufacture in a day?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I just asked someone to temporarily build a small brick kiln. If the bricks are fired non-stop, there will be about [-] bricks in a day."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry paused, "Although it is not as durable as green bricks, houses built with them can be preserved for decades. I think they can be used by all people."

Qi Heng nodded, "In this case, after the Spring Festival is over, let the Ministry of Industry gather people to build brick kilns."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty is wise."

Qi Heng waved his hand, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry quickly climbed up, and found out a palm-sized item that was folded and wrapped in yellow paper from the box.

"Your Majesty, this is a semi-finished product made of lime, cinder and plaster." He opened the paper bag carefully while speaking.

"Your Majesty, please see."

In the center of the paper is a cloud of dust.

"Is this the putty?" Qi Heng raised his hand and pinched it a little, then rubbed his fingers, there was a pungent smell of lime.

"Yes, as long as you add water and sand and stir it, it can act as an adhesive to stick these bricks firmly."

Qi Heng was thoughtful, "I remember Yan'er also said that this plaster can also be used to pave the floor."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said: "That's exactly the case. I have paved a road of about ten meters with stones and this mortar in the Ministry of Industry. Your Majesty can come to the Ministry of Industry to have a look."

"I'll find time to go there some other time." Qi Heng withdrew his hand, but wiped his fingers with the handkerchief handed over by the palace man, "If Yan'er gives you any prescriptions, you can just try them out, and you don't need to ask me again. gone."

"However, we must keep it secret, Fang Zi cannot leak it out."

"The minister leads the order."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry knelt down, and suddenly Qi Shao's voice came from outside the door.

"Uncle, my nephew Qi Shao is asking to see me."

"Okay, you all step back." Qi Heng waved his hand and told the eunuch beside him, "Go and invite the eldest prince in."

Qi Shao got the answer, and quickly entered the hall, just passing by Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, his gaze paused slightly on the big box he was carrying, a little curious.

But Qi Shao didn't dare to ask.

"Nephew has met the emperor's uncle." Qi Shao saluted respectfully.

Qi Heng glanced at him, "Have you ever returned to the Prince's Mansion?"

"Not yet." Qi Shao shook his head hurriedly, afraid that Qi Heng might misunderstand, "I came back late only because I was delayed in going to the Taimiao to offer incense to my father."

"Filial piety is commendable." Qi Heng chuckled lightly, "Since you haven't been back to the Prince's Mansion yet, then you don't have to go back at all."

Qi Shao was shocked, could it be that Qi Heng is so dark that he wants to imprison him?

Qi Shao knelt on the ground with a plop, and raised his hands to swear, "Uncle, the conscience of heaven and earth, I really never coveted the throne, the most I thought about on the way back was to be a prince and accept some beauties!"

Qi Heng's eyes were quite strange, "Who told you, I would be afraid that you have thoughts about the throne?"

Of course it was Wei Chao. On the way back, Wei Chao told him more than once that he was worried that because of his orthodox status as a prince, he would be feared by the ruthless King Chen, and told him to be as careful as possible when he returned to China, so that the King Chen would not catch him.

Although Qi Shao felt that he had nothing to catch, and he didn't feel that Qi Heng needed to be afraid of him.

"Since the emperor's uncle didn't do it for this reason, why did he plan to imprison his nephew?" Qi Shao Nuonuo asked.

"Of course I want you to study." Qi Heng said lightly, "I heard from Emperor Wei that you made a big joke in Wei, didn't you?"

"Isn't it just that he didn't separate the rooster from the hen? How could he sue even a majestic monarch?" Qi Shao asked in disbelief.

He is a dignified prince, and he is not a servant who raises chickens and ducks. He doesn't know how to distinguish between male and female chickens.

"So, are you going to disobey my order?" Qi Heng's voice was cold, and Qi Shao subconsciously faltered for a moment, but his face was a big deal, so he mustered up the courage to refuse, "I'm already an adult, I don't want to study, if I go back too Studying in the academy, let me put my face in front of my brother and sister."

"Going out this time, you have become a lot more courageous." Qi Heng sneered, "If you don't go, you have to go, the palace for you has been vacated, you don't have to go back to the Prince's Mansion, from now on, you can go Move over."

"Qi Shao's mind turned quickly, "My side concubine is still pregnant, and I haven't visited her since I came back, so please let me go back to the Prince's Mansion!" "

Moreover, there are so many beauties in his prince's mansion.

"It's not necessary, I sent all those beauties of yours for you." Qi Heng paused, "As for that Du Hongdie, who is having an affair with others and harboring evil seeds, are you sure you still want to wear this green hat?"

Qi Shao's face turned green when he heard the words, as if he had received a huge blow, "All my beauties are gone!"

What hope does he have when he returns to the prince's mansion, it's better to live in the palace, eat and drink Qi Heng's food, and the servants don't have to worry about their expenses.

It's just that he didn't win the position of a good prince, but was forced to return to Taiyuan Academy to study again. As the only prince who returned to Taiyuan Academy after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, he didn't want to lose face?

Qi Shao didn't think so, but when he met Qi Heng's cold and heartless eyes, he didn't dare to say anything.

Big deal, he fished for three days and spent two days drying nets.

"I will ask about your studies from time to time." Qi Heng reminded him.

Qi Shao: "..." Emperor Wei harmed me.

On the second day, Wei Chao led several accompanying officials into the palace under the guidance of Jin officials.

Qi Heng specially asked someone to clean up the Yuming Palace, and used it to hold a banquet to meet the Wei Guo envoy. Hearing the people in the palace saying that the Wei Guo envoy had arrived, he nodded slightly to signal Lin Dahai to call.

"Xuan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Wei enters the palace."

Qi Shao sat at the bottom, looking at Qi Heng from time to time, with a strange expression on his face.

The eunuchs led the people of Weiguo into the hall.

"Wei Chao sees His Majesty the Emperor of Jin." Holding a scroll, Wei Chao walked to the center and bowed. "This is my father's order to present the enthronement ceremony to His Majesty the Emperor Jin."

Lin Dahai went forward to take the gift booklet from him.

"Prince Wei, please sit down."

With the familiar cold voice, Wei Chao raised his head subconsciously and looked up. The man on the dragon chair was wearing a crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, but that appearance, that heavenly face, he was clearly, clearly——

Wei Chao was startled. If he remembered correctly, shouldn't the new emperor of Jin be the father of Prince Wang, the ruthless Prince Chen?

Wei Chao confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight, although that person was no longer dressed in white like snow, but that was obviously the prince he had been thinking about yesterday.

"His Royal Highness..." The envoy behind Wei Chao noticed that his own prince was staring blankly at His Majesty the Jin Emperor, and suddenly felt his eyes go dark.

Seeing Wei Chao staring at him, Qi Heng knew that Wei Chao had recognized him, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Young Master Wei, please stay safe."

"Okay, long time no see."

The familiar address made the taut string in Wei Chao's mind snap.

At this moment, Wei Chao had only one thought in his mind.

Qi Shao deceived him so badly.
