Steel Dynasty - Chapter 272

[Chapter 272 Conspiracy]

The melodious sound of chanting echoed in the room.

Zhao Yuanliang noticed Fang Chengyou’s expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

For him, everyone has shortcomings that can be overcome, and this is the same for Fang Chengyou. Although Fang Chengyou always behaves upright outside, he knows that Fang Chengyou is just a person who sees color as fate.

At this time, Zhao Yuanliang clapped his hands, and three women suddenly walked out from the inside of the room. The three women were all gorgeously dressed, with outstanding looks, and a strong sense of charm.

“Fang Zuojian, the three of them are singers carefully cultivated by their father. They have been well-dressed and well-fed since they were young. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They must soak in flower petals every day when bathing. Even if they don’t apply powder, they still have their own fragrance. It can be said that even if they are The ladies of Chang’an City are not as good as them.”

At this time, Fang Chengyou could not hear Zhao Yuanliang’s words, and stared at the three women in front of him.

When Zhao Yuanliang saw this, the smile on his lips became even thicker. At this time, he walked up to the first woman in white clothes, and with just a slight tug, the woman’s silk and satin clothes fell to the ground like running water, revealing her graceful white skin. body of.

Then came the second woman in red, and finally the woman in yellow.

The three women were instantly exposed, and Fang Chengyou couldn’t move his eyes away as he swallowed hard.

Zhao Yuanliang said at this time: “Fang Zuojian, the three of them are still virgins. How about it, can it suit Fang Zuojian’s taste?”

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Fang Chengyou heard the meaning of Zhao Yuanliang’s words and said in surprise. .

Zhao Yuanliang said: “My father thinks very highly of Fang Zuojian, so he ordered me to give the three of them to Fang Zuojian as slaves. Isn’t Fang Zuojian dissatisfied?”

“Satisfied, satisfied!” Fang Chengyou said excitedly, his pupils dilating.

However, he knew that Zhao Yuanliang must have something to ask for when he put in so much effort. He said, “What orders does the Crown Prince have for summoning the officials to come here this time?”

Zhao Yuanliang’s face suddenly darkened at this time, and he said, “Let me ask you, Your Majesty. Why are you allowed to enter the palace? “

The status of a general in the Chongqing Kingdom is very low. Generally speaking, Xiao Wenxuan would never summon a general. After all, the official status of a general is very low, and he has no qualifications to join the early dynasty. No.

After test-firing the artillery, Xiao Wenxuan hurriedly summoned the general supervisor. One can imagine why.

Fang Chengyou greedily glanced at the snow-white bodies of the three women, and then said: “His Royal Highness, the emperor summoned the officials to the palace this time to imitate the artillery.”

“Imitation?” Zhao Yuanliang was a little disappointed, he thought Xiao Wenxuan secretly obtained the artillery casting technology.

“It’s a counterfeit, and His Majesty asked the Firearms Battalion to allocate an artillery piece to the Equipment Department for research,” Fang Chengyou said.

“Oh?” Zhao Yuanliang rolled his eyes, “How sure are you that you can successfully imitate it?”

Fang Chengyou felt proud. He did not expect that because of the artillery matter, the emperor summoned him again, and the prince and Prince Zhao sent the beauty. He He couldn’t help boasting: “Your Highness, there is no difference between this artillery and a fire barrel. In less than a month, the Equipment Department can imitate it.”

“Fang Zuojian is exaggerating.” Zhao Yuanliang’s expression changed at this time.

After his trip to Qingzhou, he returned to Zhao and asked craftsmen to imitate the artillery. However, the imitation artillery was either covered in trachoma or frequently exploded. Dozens of soldiers were killed during the test firing.

Moreover, the imitation artillery has a very short range and is far less powerful than Qingzhou’s artillery.

More importantly, each of such inferior artillery consumes a huge amount of material. Although it is not as much as 20,000 taels per gun, it still costs eight or nine thousand taels.

Fang Chengyou was obsessed with it and just wanted to please Zhao Yuanliang, so he said: “Your Highness, our Fang family has been studying fire tubes for generations, which is not comparable to ordinary craftsmen. We will see the result in a month.”

Now the artillery has been listed .

He and King Zhao were very anxious about pretending to be the imperial army. Moreover, they had offended Xiao Ming last time, so they were very worried that Xiao Ming would raise the price again.

Therefore, if they can obtain artillery technology, they are willing to pay any price, so he said: “In this case, if Fang Zuojian successfully develops artillery, he must not forget about me and His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I won’t forget anyone .

We can’t forget the prince,” Fang Chengyou said.

Zhao Yuanliang nodded and signaled to the three women. The woman suddenly burst into coquettish words, rushed towards Fang Chengyou, and took Fang Chengyou to the inner room.

At this time, the prince seemed to have vented his anger. He got off the bed and said lazily: “It’s a pity. My uncle also gave me some beauties at some time, which was an advantage for him.”

Zhao Yuanliang frowned, “Prince , The world will be yours in the future, so why worry about not having beauties? How can you ruin a big thing by being stingy with a few women? “

” Huh, your tone is becoming more and more like the queen’s,” the prince sat down and took a drink of water. Said: “This Xiao Ming is really hateful. If it weren’t for his artillery, I wouldn’t be so embarrassed. I don’t know what the Queen Mother thinks, but she asked me to win over him. Huh, what does he have besides artillery? Is he worthy?”

The prince was very angry when he remembered that he was frightened by the artillery today and peed his pants. Now all this anger was blamed on Xiao Ming.

Zhao Yuanliang’s brows furrowed even more tightly. In the past, the crown prince’s status was not secure, and Queen Zhao was also ill and sought medical treatment in a hurry.

Later, after King Zhao came to Beijing, Xiao Wenxuan indirectly promised not to depose the prince, and the prince’s position was stable. From then on, the prince did not take Xiao Ming seriously.

I never thought that Xiao Ming would turn into a phoenix.

Now it’s not that they are trying to win over each other, but Xiao Ming seems to be staying out of it and doesn’t want to pay attention to the battle for the throne of Dayu Kingdom.

“Xiao Ming is not what he used to be. Don’t win over him and don’t offend him. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will naturally have a lot of time to repair him.” Zhao Yuanliang said.

When he mentioned the matter of ascending the throne, the prince’s expression suddenly became distorted, and he pushed all the tea cups on the table to the ground. He said angrily: “Ascending the throne, ascending the throne, when can I ascend the throne? I am already in my thirties now, do I still have to wait?” Thirty years old? How can I ascend the throne if my father is not dead?”

Zhao Yuanliang was shocked and immediately covered the prince’s mouth. He said, “Prince, please be careful, if these words come to the mouth of the emperor, you should be careful.”

When the prince heard this, he burst into tears, “Is there a prince as old as me in the Chongqing Kingdom? Do you know how the courtiers laugh at me now? Old prince! This is what they said.”

Zhao Yuanliang was silent, the prince’s He is indeed very old.

But in fact, what he was looking forward to was not that the prince would ascend the throne. In his eyes, the prince was also a member of the Xiao family, and it was the turn of the Zhao family to take over.
