The boat rests on the "West Embankment" of Gong Lake. There are many scenic spots here, and the clouds and lake light have attracted many literati to linger on.

March is gradually coming. It is said that the spring breeze in March is like scissors and there is greenery on the shore. Ye Qing, who has just returned from the Taoist Temple, goes ashore.

Ye Qing was too preoccupied to enjoy the spring scenery. When he got to the shore, he wanted to call for the oxcart to go back.

"Mr. No. 2, do you still recognize my subordinates?"

Ye Qing turned back and couldn't help but smile: "Who doesn't know Mr. Jiang, the grandson of Prime Minister Jiang?"

What he was talking about was the grandson of Jiang Ren who was dealt with when the Holy Emperor ascended the throne. Jiang Nan gave a wry smile and said, "Young Master Bangshu, it’s better not to talk about this. It’s because of my grandfather’s mischief that our Jiang family has ended up like this - Come on, I’ll give it to Mr. Bangshuang.”

May I introduce you, my master happens to be nearby."

Ye Qing was startled and followed Jiang Nan. He saw a man standing on the stone steps not far away. He didn't look out of the ordinary. He was only wearing a green robe and a silver crown. He looked like an ordinary nobleman.

Just looking at it carefully, you can see the green and purple aura, which shows that it is extraordinary.

"I've met the prince." Ye Qing was now a second-ranked Jinshi. The biggest advantage was that in addition to the emperor and queen, he didn't bow to officials when he saw them, and he only had to bow deeply to the prince.

Prince Yu nodded in return, smiled slightly, looked at Ye Qing up and down, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that this year's second place young hero is an outstanding young man. When I saw him today, he turned out to be very heroic."

After saying that, he stepped forward and held hands: "Let's go in and sit together."

At this time, it was not yet noon. From the Yuqing Tower not far away, I could faintly hear the music of the zither, Xiao Shenghuang, talking, laughing and singing. As I climbed up, just as I entered, a waiter came over and said: "Master Yu, it's been a long time."

He didn’t come. We all wondered if we didn’t entertain you well. We were thinking about you just now, so you came..."

With that said, he led the way inside.

"Yu Gongzi?" It must be the name of Prince Yu's incognito. This is also easy to understand. Prince Yu is only twenty years old this year. He has just been named a prince, opened a mansion and built teeth, and he still has the spirit of a youth. He will not

It is normal to be too solemn and walk among the neighbors incognito.

With this thought in mind, Ye Qing followed Prince Yu and walked in slowly. He saw that the pavilion was really good. He walked along the corridor and climbed up the stairs to a small building, where he smelled a faint fragrance.

When they got upstairs, they didn't sit on a hard couch, just a soft couch, which was similar to a sofa. Prince Yu himself leaned on it and invited Ye Qing to sit down. Ye Qing was not polite and sat on the opposite side.

Without any instructions, the waiter brought fruits and asked a few singers to perform "Nine Fans" in the outer hall. Several girls wore gauze skirts and started singing and dancing in the hall.

Prince Yu smiled and said, "I am different from Sixth Brother and the others. We only like these kinds of wine and sex——"

"It's weird to believe you." Ye Qing thought to himself. In the previous life, when the prince was deposed, the sixth prince was not even given the chance to die. Among the remaining five princes, Prince Yu's voice became louder and louder.

But he is a powerful character, so he will just indulge in wine and sex as he said?

However, seeing the gentle and friendly attitude of the prince, I felt warm in my heart. He smiled and said, "Only a great hero can show his true colors. It is a true celebrity who shows his true colors. The prince only shows his true colors. He is fragrant on the left and daisy on the right. He has jade hairpins lying around. He is envious.

"People"

After hearing this, Prince Yu first smiled, then was startled, murmured a few words, and sighed: "Only a great hero can show his true nature. It is a true celebrity who has his own style. This only, true, true way is completely natural."

"Sixth brother has always been courteous to virtuous corporals, but this time he really made a mistake. With a talent like yours, how can you expect such a small amount of treatment?"

As he spoke, he smiled and clapped his hands, and there were people at the banquet. The two girls were holding wine to accompany each other. Ye Qing looked up and saw that the two girls were dignified and beautiful, but there was a hint of coquettishness in them. He couldn't help but secretly curse the county.

Wang Zhen knows how to enjoy it - this is a choice only for the most tasteful people.

When Prince Yu saw Jiang Nan standing there, he said, "What other rules do you have? Sit down, there will be no trace, and you will enjoy the wine."

He raised his glass to Ye Qing again and smiled: "Money can help me. I like money the most. Only when you have money can you live a comfortable life - I heard that you have a big fortune for me?"

Ye Qing was a cheerful person. Hearing Prince Yu's cheerfulness, he smiled and said, "There are still rich people, but the rich don't dare. I hope the prince will reward me."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms and handed it over.

It was gradually noon. The sun was shining high and the waves of the lake were rippling, making people feel relaxed and happy. Prince Yu took the scroll and unfolded it on a scroll. It was five feet long and two feet wide. Looking at the calligraphy on it, you can see that each word has only a thumb cover.

It's big, but the calligraphy is elegant and graceful. I couldn't help but praise it: "Good calligraphy, I think it is no less than Chen Pinzhi."

Chen Pinzhi is a master of contemporary calligraphy, and this praise is very high. Prince Yu continued and looked at it intently. He remained calm at first, but after a while he thought about it more and showed a happy face: "Wonderful"

In the end, he gradually changed his color, put down the scroll, touched his palms and praised: "I heard that in ancient times, Master Ruan's sword was made with the combination of water and fire, the pottery of the five essences, and the combination of yin and yang, the combination of hardness and softness. In ancient times, it was made.

Daxian, the summary is complete, I don’t think I can go to a higher level.”

This means that the ancient sages summarized the combination of a series of technologies such as heat (annealing), water utilization (quenching), metallurgical furnaces, casting pottery, and pig iron and wrought iron to make steel knives.

Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, and drank a glass of wine. It would be difficult to convince people just talking about local changes before seeing the actual results. But if the overall improvement is done correctly, and the description is precise, people can't help but believe it.

Ye Qing did not shy away from drawing real objects, just to let the other party prove it. He didn't want the prince to be very familiar with the iron-making process, so he would understand it immediately without proof.

It makes people feel that the bureaucrats and princes in this world are indeed not empty talkers.

After Prince Yu finished speaking, he handed the scroll to Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan opened it and took a look. He seemed to be more proficient in it. As he looked at it, his expression changed.

Prince Yu was lost in thought for a long time before sighing and saying, "Your gift is too generous. The matter is so big that even I feel it is hot to touch."

"Mr. Bang Second, what your Majesty means is that your in-laws alone can make the decision. This improvement in iron-making technology involves the entire mother clan's business, involving tens of millions of dollars, and has far-reaching influence. Even your Majesty can't make a decision with just one word.

"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qing knew it. On the surface, the county lord sister Wang was very noble, and the effect of marriage was immeasurable. But in reality, to put it cruelly, she could only be worth a hundred thousand yuan, and the marriage alone could not make it worth it.

Five hundred thousand, this is said sincerely and shows sincerity.

Then he smiled and said: "Your Majesty thinks it is too hot, so I dare not do it. No matter what, this may be beneficial to the country, or it may give you a better chance of winning in resisting the Northern Wei Dynasty, so I will leave it to your Majesty - Your Majesty,

Can this book create a good relationship?"

Seeing Ye Qing's words, a million silver seemed to be nothing, and he was so heroic. He couldn't help but love talents, and thought to himself: "If he is a Jinshi, he must receive it in the palace."

At this time, his eyes were shining, and he looked forward with a bright look. He smiled and said: "How can such a heroic person like Mr. Number Two be a good partner? How can I act like a villain again? Don't worry, I know you want peace and quiet. Nothing else.

I dare to say that within three years, I will ensure that you reach the fifth rank of the Imperial Academy and be ranked as a bachelor of history and literature.

"If the experiment continues and it is really so effective, the second-placed Duke will have meritorious service, and another title will be inevitable."

"With these words from the prince, I feel relieved."

The plan was decided. The three of them enjoyed the scenery, chatted, and encouraged each other to drink. After a while, they became drunk. When they were drunk, Prince Yu raised his glass and suddenly asked: "I have a question, can you answer it?"

Ye Qing was startled and said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"You are only seventeen years old, and you are ranked second in the ranking. How many prime ministers, ministers, ministers and even the royal family are willing to marry you, why do you always want to avoid them?"

After hearing this, Ye Qing found it difficult to answer for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty has asked, so I will answer it. In fact, there is a reason here."

He talked about the past events in Yejiazhuang one by one: "The family can't be said to be mean, but my parents left early, and the world is always in trouble. I was young back then and couldn't hold up the scene. If it weren't for Qianqian inside and outside.

If I had withstood the pressure, I might not be where I am today."

Jiang Nan was dumbfounded and said, "Don't you want to marry this girl?"

The second-ranked prince marries a maid, which is a huge scandal, causing a sensation in the world and even the court losing face.

Ye Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I am not so crazy that I want to be the enemy of the world and fight with my clan. If this happens, I'm afraid Qianqian will not live for more than a few years... Therefore, it is inevitable to marry a legitimate wife."

He said a little gloomily: "But Qi Dafei is the same with Qianqian. If I marry a wife with a noble family, how can she live a good life? I'm afraid she will become a thorn in the side."

"Therefore, the county lord and princess, the daughter of the prime minister's family, cannot be used at all. My mother's family has a cousin who has a gentle temperament and gets along well with me. We are not uninterested in each other. She is not just a shield. I have already fallen in love with it. This backyard

Only then can we be at peace with each other.”

Prince Yu and Jiang Nan were dumbfounded after hearing this, as if they were in a dream, bulging their eyes and staring at Ye Qing, as if they were looking at a monster jumping out of the street in broad daylight. For a moment, they had nothing to say and no idea.

What to say

"Your Majesty has asked, I dare not not reply, but I still want to keep these secrets. If my wife finds out in the future, it will break her heart - this can be done or not said."

"It's getting late. I got the Taoist book, and I'm itching to go back and review it. I won't use it anymore. I'll come to the prince's house for a drink later." After Ye Qing said this, he drank another glass of "Yan" and bowed to Prince Yu.

Then he resigned and went out.

King Yujun walked to the steps and looked at this man in white clothes, wearing high-toothed wooden clogs, with fluttering sleeves. He walked calmly and walked further and further away. After a long time, he murmured: "The sky cannot be restrained, and the earth cannot be restrained."

, she really has the appearance of floating out of the world - she is also deeply affectionate and as gentle as jade. I am really envious of her.

"Your Majesty, this is what he said himself. A true celebrity comes from a romantic background." Jiang Nan stood behind Prince Yu and sighed: "But God will meet your Lord with this person, and your Lord's fortune will be great."

This is indeed true. Not only will this iron smelting be very profitable, but it will also allow Prince Yu to expand his influence a lot.

Prince Yu first nodded and then shook his head: "You still said that you are underestimating him. This is not the appearance of a celebrity, but the temperament of a hero. In a few years, even I may have to look at him with admiration - only great heroes can show their true colors.
