Steel Dynasty - Chapter 69

[Chapter 69 Xiao Wenxuan’s shock]

“Although Ming’er is uneducated and incompetent, the things he messed up this time are quite interesting. I now use soap to bathe every day, and my body feels refreshed.”

Xiao Wenxuan said, if he doesn’t use soap now, his whole body will feel It feels uncomfortable, as if it has not been cleaned.

“Your Majesty, that’s not the case. We now wash our hands and bathe with soap every day, and with this perfume, we feel very comfortable every day.” A concubine said.

Xiao Wenxuan smiled and slid his fingers on the concubine’s face, “My beloved concubine’s body is quite slippery today, haha…”

“Your Majesty…” The concubine took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

Queen Zhao’s face was slightly red. Xiao Wenxuan was greedy by nature, but now he was acting more and more recklessly. He did not hold back when he was blocking the faces of so many concubines, but she did not dare to say that these days, Xiao Wenxuan was rarely so happy.

Holding the perfume in his left hand and smelling it, and holding the soap in his right hand, Xiao Wenxuan thought to himself that these two things would help him have sex in bed between the concubines. He couldn’t help but feel happy and said: “The King of Qi finally did something.” What makes me happy is that I will allocate the remaining 800,000 taels to him in the near future. “

I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of King Qi!” Concubine Zhen felt happy.

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Concubine Zhen and nodded with satisfaction, “I heard that the mung bean cake at Concubine Zhen’s place is quite good. I would like to try what it tastes like.”

The other concubines were envious when they heard this. Xiao Wenxuan meant that at Concubine Zhen’s place tonight, Stayed overnight.

Queen Zhao’s expression changed. She didn’t know whether she should be happy or unhappy. Xiao Wenxuan was the most favored concubine Zhen in the past. Later, Xiao Ming repeatedly committed evil in Chang’an. Xiao Wenxuan gradually alienated Concubine Zhen because he was annoyed with Xiao Ming.

And now King Qi doesn’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but this time it seems that Xiao Wenxuan is indeed happy.

He was happy that King Qi was favored again. It would be good if he was willing to help the prince. Of course, he was unhappy because of his selfishness as a woman.

The concubines left in a sensible manner, but each of them left a lot of money behind.

Xiao Wenxuan saw it and said: “This King of Qi actually brought his business to this palace.”

Concubine Zhen explained: “Your Majesty, King Qi also had no choice. Now the prodigal son of King Qi has turned back and is running the fiefdom with all his heart. However, money, food, and talents are all gone. “If it’s not enough, we can only resort to bad measures.”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, “Now the prince, the second prince, the third emperor, and the fourth emperor are fighting to the death in Chang’an, and are trying to undermine each other in the court. It really makes me angry. None of these traitors can be like me.” King Qi is also considerate of me, hey!”

Concubine Zhen said: “Your Majesty, the princes are just brothers, and it’s normal to be noisy. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself.”

Xiao Wenxuan sighed, “I’d rather stay here with you. , Unlike Concubine De, every time I go to her, she either asks for my official position, or pleads for the fourth prince, but unlike you, I sent King Qi to Qingzhou, and you didn’t say a word.”

“Your Majesty, day and night .

How can I dare to talk too much when I am working on state affairs? Your Majesty must have considered it when you granted Qingzhou to the King of Qi,” Concubine Zhen said.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded slightly. Although Concubine Zhen was not from a famous family, she was well-educated and well-educated. She deeply liked him. He said: “King Qi is a bastard. He is uneducated and incompetent, but after all, he is also my son. He is of royal blood. I will send him to him.” Qingzhou is precisely because he has no ability to protect himself in the battle for the throne, and with King Wei taking care of him, it is enough for him to be a prince for a lifetime.”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned and said: “But now King Qi is. I am making progress. This is just what I want. If the King of Qi can manage the fiefdom well, he can contain the barbarian troops going south, and he can also create more royal vassals that make kings with different surnames afraid. Emperor Gaozu once said that there are many vassals who are not afraid of the royal family. , even if it is destroyed, it is still the power of the Xiao family. If a

king with a different

surname is allowed to take advantage, then he is the sinner of the Xiao family.

That’s why they are afraid of each other,” Concubine Zhen said.

“That’s right, that’s why I acquiesced in allowing King Wei to smuggle horses and help him secretly.” Xiao Wenxuan said: “But if King Qi can persevere, I will also help him, but it depends on his performance. After all, the Manchu Dynasty Both civil and military officials are watching, and it is clear which of the princes has merit and who has not. If he can make a contribution, I will have an honest reason to reward him.”

Concubine Zhen smiled and felt relieved. He was most worried about Xiao Ming and Xiao Wenxuan. The two fathers and sons are at odds. Now it seems that Xiao Ming knows his mistakes and can correct them, and Xiao Wenxuan still remembers the love he felt back then. He said, “Your Majesty, Ming’er has made a great contribution recently.”

“Oh?” Xiao Wenxuan picked up a piece of maid’s dinner. The mung bean cake that came asked: “Tell me about it.”

Concubine Zhen smiled, took a drawing and said: “Your Majesty, this is what King Qi sent this time along with the perfume and soap.”

Xiao Wenxuan When unfolded, it shows a cow spinning around a wooden stick, with the words: The cow overturns the car due to the power of the cow.

“Your Majesty, the King of Qi said in the letter that this ox-powered cart can draw water more than ten times faster than the water tanker in the Chongqing Kingdom. If it is implemented in the Chongqing Kingdom, it will definitely promote farming.” Concubine Zhen said.

“Really?” Xiao Wenxuan said.

“Your Majesty, King Qi said that the ox-powered carts will be transported in the near future, and your Majesty will know when the time comes.” Concubine Zhen said.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, “Interesting, interesting, I want to see what this King of Qi has come up with.”

…

Three days later, the Qin family’s ship arrived at Chang’an City carrying the accessories for Niu Li’s car, and dispatched When the craftsmen come over, these accessories only need to be assembled in Chang’an to turn it into a rollover.

When Xiao Wenxuan learned about this, he took the civil and military officials of the court to Huangzhuang outside Chang’an City, where the overturned cattle force was transported.

After a group of officials saw for themselves the ability of an ox to overturn a car and collect water, they were amazed.

“Your Majesty, this ox-powered car is really a work of art. I don’t know which craftsman it was.” Zheng Hongwen, the Minister of Industry, praised.

Other ministers also smiled.

The third prince rushed to say: “Father, if this ox-powered cart is promoted in the Chongqing Kingdom, it will be extremely beneficial to farming.”

Standing next to the third prince was a man in a yellow brocade robe, in his thirties. Appearance, he wanted to say, but he was still a little slow. This person was the current prince, Xiao Shen.

The fourth prince looked at the prince with a sneer and said: “Father, please reward the craftsman who invented this thing.”

Xiao Wenxuan laughed and said: “This thing was invented by none other than your seventh brother, King Qi.”

Three The expressions of the prince and the fourth prince suddenly stiffened. The prince said: “Father, in this case, we should reward King Qi generously.”

Xiao Wenxuan nodded. This powerful overturn could not be seen in the painting, but at this moment he stood In front of you, you can feel the ingenuity of this overturning car.
