Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 230

Li Daozong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, said: "This thing is black and sour, it looks like it should be made of iron."

Wei Zheng frowned, and said, "It's just, why does this thing emit smoke..."

Everyone looked and saw that the front end of the black iron pipe was emitting smoke.

Looking along the iron pipe, I saw that the iron pipe came out of the window of Ganlu Hall.

Where the iron pipe was located, a hole was directly opened in the wooden wall, and it was repaired casually, and the shadow of the sackcloth could even be seen.

Li Er suddenly lost his temper.

"It's unreasonable, you bastard, Prince, this Ganlu Palace is the place where I rest and deal with political affairs. All the arrangements were arranged by Yuan Tiangang himself. Now he dares to open his mouth on my wall. He still has my eyes. This royal father..."

Li Er growled.

Gao Chen was on the side, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there are four more pipes like this."

It is equivalent to four such iron pipes in the four directions of the Ganlu Hall.

Wang Gui shook his head and said: "This iron pipe is made of iron, but all gold, silver, copper and iron will have a certain impact on Feng Shui. Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated clearly, and I think this matter may not be What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did was instigated by Chen Chu, and someone should be sent to arrest Chen Chu immediately..."

Hearing that this would affect Feng Shui, Li Er was even more worried.

Although he is not a magic stick emperor, he still believes in Fangjiao.

After Li Er reached old age, he still fell into the fate of the emperors of the past dynasties, that is, he crazily pursued longevity and began to eat some highly poisonous fairy medicines and the like.

He clenched his fist tightly, making a cracking sound.

"Come on, go to the East Palace and call the prince and Chen Chu." Li Eryin ordered with a sullen face.

Gao Chen immediately sent someone to the East Palace.

Not long after, the two eunuchs came back.

Li Chengqian also came forward.

He had a happy face at first, but when he saw the atmosphere at the scene, he immediately became apprehensive. He hurried forward and said with some apprehension: "...Father...Royal Father..."

Li Er glanced at Li Chengqian, pointed to the big iron pipe above his head, and asked coldly: "Nizi, is this a good thing you did?"

Li Chengqian bowed, lowered his head, and admitted: "Father, it was my son who made it..."

Li Er glanced behind Li Chengqian and asked, "Where's Chen Chu?"

Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Chen Chu said his dog is about to give birth, and he wants to go back and have a look..."

The dog is about to have puppies?

Everyone was stunned.

Everyone realized that Chen Chu must be responsible for this matter, and Chen Chu ran away quietly.

Li Er snorted coldly: "That kid ran fast, but he thought I wouldn't pursue him if he ran away, it's just unreasonable..."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Father, it's none of Chen Chu's business. This matter was done by my son alone. Chen Chu, Chen Chu was coerced by my son, so it has nothing to do with him."

As a good brother, he intends to bear it alone.

But Li Er didn't believe it at all, he sneered and said, "Chengqian, do you really think that I don't understand you? With your guts, how could you dare to touch my Manna Hall..."

Li Chengqian was despised.

Li Eryi waved his hand: "Go, go in and have a look..."

He had already made up his mind, this time, he must take care of the crown prince and Chen Chu.

Otherwise, these two guys will soon have no idea how high the heavens are.

His face was gloomy.

creak.

The eunuchs pushed open the gate of Ganlu Hall.

Li Er walked in with a group of people.

A gust of hot air rushed over.

Ok?

Because of the large size of the Ganlu Hall, it is always very cold, especially in winter, it is even colder to the bone. Several braziers had to be placed around Li Er's desk.

But now, after entering the main hall, it is surprisingly warm.

Li Er's complexion changed drastically, and he asked, "Why is it so hot? Did it catch fire?"

A few days ago, Duke Lu's mansion caught fire first.

Then the East Palace caught fire.

Li Er has a psychological shadow.

Gao Chen hurriedly found someone to inquire.

Li Chengqian raised his head and said, "Father, it's not a fire, it's a stove..."

stove?

Li Er frowned.

Li Chengqian continued: "Father, in fact, what my son led someone to install just now is the stove..."

At this time, Gao Chen shouted loudly: "I found it, I found it, it's here..."

Li Er and the others hurried over when they heard the sound.

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a big iron bump as tall as half a person, all sealed tightly, but the distance was close, and it could feel that this thing was extremely hot.

It turns out that the heat is coming from here.

Originally, when he entered the Ganlu Hall, Li Er was full of anger.

But as soon as he came in and felt the warmth, he suddenly became less angry.

He suppressed the remaining anger in his heart and asked, "Chengqian, what's going on?"

Li Chengqian explained: "Father, this... this is all the filial piety of my son. I know that the Manna Palace is cold, especially in winter, and my father is most afraid of cold, so I built this stove and put it here. , there are a total of four stoves, which can warm the entire Ganlu Hall, and we will never use those smoky charcoal pots again..."

No matter how well the charcoal is refined, there will still be some green smoke when it is burned. When there are too many charcoal pots, the entire Ganlu Temple will be full of smog.

The most important point is that although the charcoal pots in the palace are specially made, dust is still unavoidable.

However, Li Chengqian never mentioned Chen Chu's name because Li Er still had a gloomy face. In order not to implicate Chen Chu, Li Chengqian decided to take all the responsibilities alone.

……

Chapter 273 The Eunuch Experiment

Li Er took Changsun Wuji and others, wandering around the Ganlu Hall, looking around, staring at the stove up and down.Someone accidentally reached out and got burned.

"Oh, what a nice stove..."

"Yes, in the main hall of the house, a stove is enough to warm the entire main hall!"

"The old man stopped reading recently because the charcoal basin in the study room is too smoky to the eyes. It would be great if there was such a stove in the study room at home!"

"Whoever made this stove is simply a genius!"

Everyone praised the benefits of the stove.

But there was one person who showed doubts, and this person was Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji stared at the stove, and suddenly said: "Just now, everyone praised this stove for its cleanliness and sanitation. It doesn't have dust like the charcoal basin... But in my opinion, even though this stove has a thousand advantages, it has one biggest disadvantage... …That is, it is inconvenient to add firewood. The cover is difficult to remove. If you add firewood once per stick of incense, will it be more troublesome, and if you add firewood from the top, there will definitely be a lot of dust..."

Everyone took a closer look and thought about it carefully, and there was indeed this problem.

Ordinary firewood stoves add firewood from below, but this stove adds firewood from above.

Everyone thought that Changsun Wuji was right.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian stepped forward, picked up an iron hook, and lifted the round iron cover above the stove.

A flame burst out immediately.

Li Chengqian said excitedly: "Father, my lords, look, what is burning here is not firewood, but coal."

Is it not firewood?

Everyone was startled, and rushed up to have a look, only to see that inside the stove, it was not firewood, but pieces of burning red stone-like things.

Changsun Wuji was surprised and said: "It's black soil? Your Highness, this is the Palace of Manna, how can you burn the black soil? Although the black soil can burn, it is poisonous. Many years ago, a family in Chang'an City burned the black soil, and the whole family died. Your Highness, Tell me, did Chen Chu teach you to do this?"

what?

Everyone was shocked.

The black soil was poisonous, but the crown prince and Chen Chu were still burning the black soil in the Ganlu Hall.

This is bad intentions!

The prince looks kind-hearted, kind and generous, but unexpectedly he is also a [-]-year-old boy.

For a moment, the expressions of the ministers present at Li Chengqian changed.

Li Er's face also darkened, and he said coldly: "Chengqian, what are your intentions?"

Li Chengqian was startled, quickly lowered his head, and stammered: "Father... father, the black soil is not poisonous. This black soil is mined from Meishan Coal Mine. After mining, it has been processed... and there is no poison in it." Besides, there is an iron pipe in this stove, which leads all the smoke outside, and the smoke is not in the hall, so it will not have any effect on the body of the father..."

He is not particularly sure about this thing.

After hearing Chen Chu say it a few times, he memorized it bluntly, and now explaining to Li Er is also stammering.

Li Er frowned.

Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, even though this is the case, your Majesty's dragon body is important and you should not be careless. I have an idea. Let a few eunuchs stay in this hall tonight, and close all the doors and windows. Tomorrow morning, these eunuchs are fine, which means His Highness is right..."

This is to test with living people.

Li Chengqian glanced at Duan Lun gratefully, nodded and said: "Lord Duan is right, Father, why not follow this method."

Li Er thought about it carefully and nodded.

He turned his head and said to Gao Chen: "Gao Chen, tonight, you will bring a few eunuchs to spend the night here. Remember, all doors and windows are closed, and no one is allowed to go out without permission..."

Gao Chen's complexion changed drastically.

He was present the whole time, but he knew that the black soil or coal was poisonous.

If it doesn't work out, it will kill someone.

He looked at Li Er pitifully.

Li Er said: "Gao Chen, you have been with me for many years and you are loyal to me. Only when you are present in person can I rest assured."

Gao Chen: "I..."

Li Er waved his hand.

The ministers left one after another.

Li Er also went to the Yanjia Hall to find Empress Changsun.

It's extremely cold tonight.

There was no quilt in Yanjia Hall, and Li Er hugged the eldest grandson empress tightly, still feeling cold.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Li Er had breakfast in Yanjia Hall, then hurried to Ganlu Hall.

Outside Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others were waiting.

Li Er was surprised: "Aiqings, why did you come so early in the morning?"

Changsun Wuji said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I came here early in the morning just to see if those eunuchs Gao Chen are dead."

Everyone looked forward to it.

Li Er: "..."

However, he also wanted to see the lives of Gao Chen and others.

He looked back and saw Li Chengqian hiding behind the crowd.
