Zhou Zhe took Ling Wenze and Dongfang Wo to meet a lot of ores, and introduced them to Ling Wenze as if they were competing with Dongfang Wo one by one.Ling Wenze sensed the aura of competition between these two people, and was happy to hear more from them.

Walking in front of a pile of black ore, Ling Wenze was very excited. He rushed over to pick up a piece and put it in his hand, almost bursting into tears: Grade A mine!This cliff is a grade A mine!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Wenze listened to Zhou Zhe's introduction that this Moyao ore was the highest-quality mineral in the Ling Dynasty, and it was discovered a few years ago. In the entire Ling Dynasty, there is currently only one court free mine that produces this kind of ore , the output is not too large, and with the current smelting technology, it is impossible to efficiently utilize the quality of Mo Yao.

Ling Wenze asked Zhou Zhe to take him to see the smelting equipment and process of the Ministry of War, and soon discovered the problem.He has a solution in his heart, but he can't say it now, after all, he is still just a "novice who has become a monk".Of course, his solution is only a substantial improvement, and to make full use of it, it still depends on the high technology of the laboratory.

Ling Wenze asked Zhou Zhe for a certain amount of Mo Yao, as well as some other ores and a set of smelting equipment, intending to put it on his house for display.

Zhou Zhe thoughtfully sent someone to accompany Ling Wenze and Dongfang Wo to help him deliver the things to King Ze's Mansion, and even asked him if he needed a craftsman, but Ling Wenze refused, saying that he was just playing around.

When parting, Ling Wenze raised his hand and patted Zhou Zhe's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhou in the future, thank you very much."

Zhou Zhe bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "It's a matter of humble duty."

After getting into the carriage, Dongfang Wo suddenly mentioned someone: "Does Your Highness know Yingqian?"

Ling Wenze shook his head, and heard Dongfang Wo say: "This man is a generation of heroes in the Jianghu. He is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has a magic weapon in his hand, called 'Silver Blade'. It is said that this sword is his family treasure. Cutting iron like mud. If your highness is interested, you can find Xia Yingqian, and it will definitely help your highness's smelting technique."

Ling Wenze complained silently: With the level of smelting in this era, no matter how awesome a cold weapon is, it is still a scum in front of Lao Tzu.

Dongfang Wo babbled about Yingqian again, but Ling Wenze wasn't very interested, so he didn't listen too carefully.He raised the curtain, glanced at the person who helped them transport things, and said with emotion: "The people in the military department, except Mr. Hong, seem to be very tough." Ling Wenze found that not only Zhou Zhe, but also the smelter Those who beat and help them carry things are all fat and strong.

Dongfang Wo was not angry when he was interrupted, and said calmly: "These people in the Ministry of War are just vicious-looking. Your Highness will go to the Ministry of Punishment one day, and you will know what it means to be vicious."

Ling Wenze thought of Ling Wenjin's grandfather, Cheng Shangshu. In his impression, Cheng Shangshu was nearly sixty years old, and his appearance was gentle and his behavior was elegant. Dark and sinister.

Ling Wenze laughed after thinking about it: "The minister of the Ministry of War has a baby face, and all his subordinates are fat and strong; the minister of the Ministry of punishment is gentle and refined, and all his subordinates are vicious; the minister of the Ministry of Rites is submissive, and his subordinates are all arrogant and domineering; this combination is quite interesting. It is Dongfang My lord, what do your men look like?"

Dongfang Wo didn't expect him to say such a thing, so he thought about it first, and felt that Ling Wenze had summed it up quite well, so he suddenly sighed: "Underlings, a group of...honest people."

"Are you admitting that you are cunning and cunning?"

Dongfang Wo said, "The team is not easy to lead, and my brother is also very helpless": "The brothers are too honest, so I have to take care of them for the humble job."

Ling Wenze laughed out loud: "That's really true, Master Dongfang has worked hard."

Suddenly thought of something, Ling Wenze asked, "Does your lord know where there is a bookstore nearby? I don't intend to borrow books from Zangshuge. Now that I have moved out of the palace, it would be good to find a bookstore to buy some books."

"There is a 'Bai Ding Bookstore' on Xiejie Street, which is opened by Bai Shilang's husband and wife." Dongfang Wo laughed teasingly, "Now that His Highness occupies his old house, it would be good to take care of the business."

Ling Wenze was embarrassed in silence: This guy wants to see him get beaten, right?

At noon, Dongfang Wo had dinner at King Ze's Mansion, and then he left obediently.

Ling Wenze sent someone to set up the smelted things in the yard, and pretended to start a fire. Then, he asked several guards in the mansion to watch according to the conventional smelting method, and then dragged Zhiyuan into the house.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Wenze said to Zhiyuan, "I've already put some ore into the laboratory, you can help me guard it in the outer room, and call me in the inner room if you need anything."

Zhi Yuan nodded in agreement, and Ling Wenze went to the inner room, closed the door and entered the laboratory.

First, the system was used to detect this batch of ore, and it was indeed A-grade. Ling Wenze happily started building according to the design drawing completed last night. After calculating, it would take a total of more than ten hours, so he was thinking about whether to do it tonight Come all night.

As soon as he completed one palm and two fingers, Ling Wenze heard Zhi Yuan calling him.I quickly put down my things, only to realize that nearly seven hours had passed.Coming out of the laboratory, Ling Wenze found that it was already dark outside.

Zhi Yuan said to him, "I'll let the stove outside rest first, and also, King Cheng sent someone to send an invitation card."

Ling Wenze took the post, glanced at it, and said a little puzzled: "Prince Cheng actually invited the two of us to his house for dinner."

Zhi Yuan was taken aback: "The two of us?"

Ling Wenze nodded: "Nothing to be courteous, either adultery or robbery!"

Knowing that King Cheng's banquet was a Hongmen banquet, Ling Wenze still had to go with Zhiyuan.He can ignore Prime Minister Lin, after all, Prime Minister Lin is just a courtier, but King Cheng can't offend him yet.

Ling Wenze thought, after all, he wanted Zhiyuan from King Cheng, and now that he has married Zhiyuan as his wife, King Cheng probably wants to call them over to humiliate them.Other than that, he couldn't think of any other means that King Cheng could use. Even if Zhiyuan was a young lady, she was now his Princess Ze. King Cheng would not have the guts to follow what Emperor Yong agreed to. Emperor Yong opposed it.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, you have to go to know.

Ling Wenze told Zhi Yuan what he thought, and he was mentally prepared to accept the ridicule, but when he arrived at Prince Cheng's Mansion, he found out that there was another person who disgusted him even more——Chen Ziye.

Chen Ziye had just been punished by Emperor Yong recently and lost half a year's salary, feeling very depressed.

During the tidying up of Zangshu Pavilion, he beat and scolded a clumsy little eunuch, who would have thought that the little eunuch had a nosebleed from him, and the mottled blood dripped on several rare books that Emperor Yong loved most.

This matter cannot be concealed. After Chen Ziye told Concubine Shu, she was scolded by her, and then took the initiative to admit his mistake to Emperor Yong.Chen Ziye naturally put all the responsibility on the little eunuch, but he himself could not escape the sanction of ineffective supervision.

Under Concubine Shu's persuasion, Emperor Yong only fined Chen Ziye's salary, and this matter was suppressed. Few people knew about it, and Ling Wenze naturally knew nothing about it.But this doesn't prevent Chen Ziye from taking the punishment on him - if Ling Wenze hadn't snatched Zhiyuan from King Cheng, would Chen Ziye be able to tidy up the library at this time?Can there be these things behind?

It happened that King Cheng came to him at this time, told him that Ling Wenze had married Zhi Yuan as his wife, and invited him to bring Tong'er to the banquet together, so Chen Ziye moved his mind.King Cheng smiled after hearing his thoughts, not only did not scold him, but also discussed with him.

Seeing Zhiyuan standing next to Ling Wenze, Chen Ziye showed an obscene smile, thinking about what happened next, he felt that being fined for half a year's salary was nothing.

Cheng Wang smiled and called Ling Wenze and Zhi Yuan to sit down: "I only found out after listening to my mother and concubine that the younger brother of the third emperor married Zhi Yuan as his wife, which really surprised me. But speaking of it, this king is also a You two are matchmakers, so I set up this banquet today, please come and get together." Pointing to the person next to Chen Ziye, he said, "This boy used to be Zhiyuan's servant, but now he is Chen Shilang's servant. , this king thought about calling him here too, and let them get together, master and servant. Brother Sanhuang, don't blame this king for being troublesome."

Hearing the name "Tong'er", Ling Wenze realized that he was "replacing" Zhi Yuan and was given to Chen Ziye by King Cheng.

Glancing at Chen Ziye, who was smiling maliciously, Ling Wenze pretended to be terrified and said to King Cheng, "How dare you! It's still the second emperor's thoughtfulness."

King Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and said to Zhiyuan and Tong'er, "There is a clean room next to you, you two can go and have a sit down. This king still has something to say to Third Emperor Brother and Chen Shilang."

Zhi Yuan and Tong'er glanced at each other, got up and saluted each other, and went out together with the servants.

Seeing Zhi Yuan leave, Ling Wenze always felt something was wrong, but Zhi Yuan's current strength and physique should not be bullied by Tong'er's weak pet, so Ling Wenze didn't think about it any further.

Chen Ziye changed his arrogant attitude in the past, and took the initiative to toast Ling Wenze with a wine glass, saying that he didn't deliberately make things difficult in Zangshu Pavilion before, but now that the arrangement has been completed, Ling Wenze can borrow books at any time.King Cheng also said some unnutritious nonsense in response, and then the topic turned to Ling Wenze and Zhi Yuan's marriage.

"Third brother, it's not the emperor who said you, how can you marry a young lady as your wife? Isn't this embarrassing to my royal family?"

Ling Wenze looked at King Cheng's pretended regretful face, lowered his head and said cowardly: "My little brother really...loves more than Zhiyuan...doesn't care too much..."

Cheng Wang smiled: "It's rare, the third brother is actually a kind of love. Come, come, I will toast you again."

The three drank a few glasses of wine, and Chen Ziye suddenly held his stomach and said that he was going to the toilet.

King Cheng waved him away with disgust on his face, and dragged Ling Wenze to continue drinking and chatting.

Ling Wenze glanced at Chen Ziye who was leaving, frowned and lost his mind to continue chatting with King Cheng.
