Chapter Two Hundred and Seventieth: God Soldier
Wei said coldly: "There is a strange thing that we shouldn't have been thinking about, but it's too surprising. Since we talk about Mengjin today, we have to talk about it."
Wei Xuanzhen was stunned and had to listen quietly.
Wei continued: "A few days ago, Qin Shaoyou secretly visited His Royal Highness the Prince several times. In addition, the person next to the Prince also went to Mengjin. Are you wondering if this is a strange thing? The Prince is as timid as a mouse. Not to mention making friends with ministers, even if he asked him to win over a bartender, he wouldn't be able to muster up the courage. What's the secret of his repeated relationship with Qin Shaoyou?"
Wei Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Empress, do you know it by asking?"
This is the truth. There is no secret in the Longmen Palace that can be hidden. Wei wants to know what he naturally asks Li Xian. Do you dare not say it?
Wei Xuanzhen knew very well about his daughter's power. Such a thing is simply easy to get.
Wei sneered and said, "The root of the problem is here. The prince usually obeys my advice. I say east, but he dare not go west. I have married him. How could he have ever dared to hide anything from me? But this time, when I asked, he shook his head and said it was just a few greetings. He knew that he was lying, but he refused to say anything." Wei took a deep breath: "This is not a good sign, Dad, why have you worked hard to make friends with ministers these days? Isn't it just that His prince can sit in the world? Isn't it just that one day. Can we be the master of our family? But now, our backyard is on fire, and now there is another variable."
Wei Xuanzhen's face changed suddenly, and he said aloofly: "Is it not... what is the Prince's guarding against our Wei family?"
Wei shook his head and said, "It's not like it. In short, it's hard to explain it clearly. But when you go to visit someone with the Qin surname. Although the person with the Qin surname is saying good things, he is silent about his relationship with the prince. This shows that something may be hidden between them."
Wei Xuanzhen suddenly widened her eyes and couldn't help but say, "Can you cut off your sleeves..."
Wei was stunned for a long time, and finally said with a grim smile: "It's not so good. In short, this person surnamed Qin should be wary of it. But don't wait until the future, we will be happy, but we have made wedding dresses for others. Look at the old emperor of Emperor Gaozong, isn't that the case? His concubines thought that he would have a good life after becoming the emperor. What's the end of the day? They are not a woman from a nunnery. They replace them? Look at what their fate will be? How many people are there?"
Wei Xuanzhen bowed deeply and said, "I know, I'm afraid I'll have to make a long-term plan for this matter. However, the Empress is at Longmen, but she has to find a way to find out the news."
Wei was cold and cold, and then suddenly smiled and said, "We might as well give him a try."
Wei Xuanzhen said: "What are the great ideas of the Empress?"
Wei clasped his clouds and waved his hand. The palace maids hurriedly picked up beads and put them in. She slowly said: "This is very simple. Go and do business with the Qin man!"
"..." Wei Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment: "This..."
Wei said coldly: "If Qin Shaoyou and the prince really have any shameful intentions, then Qin Shaoyou will have to stabilize our Wei family no matter what. So if his father wants to do business with him, he will definitely agree happily. Since that's the case, we will just follow the plan and just learn from Li Lingyue's nie and take the opportunity to get a fortune from a wealth of thousands of yuan. This will be of great benefit to us. Who doesn't love this money?"
Wei Xuanzhen frowned and said, "What if he refuses?"
Wei sneered, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, just make a fool of yourself. In the past, his business could be safe with just one Li Lingyue, but if he wants to do this business for a long time, it would not be possible without our Wei family. You can talk with confidence and boldly. With money, he can create a Tiance Army. With money, we also have the Wei family army."
Wei Xuanzhen bowed and said, "Okay, I'll go and give it a try."
Wei Xuanzhen said it very casually. He was so tired. He had just returned to Luoyang and came here to discuss for so long. He just wanted to go back to the mansion and take a break.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the palace maid behind Wei exclaimed. Wei Xuanzhen was startled, but saw that the palace maid was grabbed by Wei's wrist. Wei looked angry, but he grabbed the golden hairpin in his hand and stabbed the palace maid hard.
Suddenly, with a shrill cry for help, I saw the palace maid covering her face, and blood dripping down her hands from her fingers.
But Wei heard the grim smile and said, "I told you not to do things with all my heart, what is the use of this palace for you?"
She pulled the palace maid again and took her hand away. Then she saw the palace maid's face that was already bloody and slapped her hard. The palace maid was knocked to the ground with the opportunity. Wei seemed to be unrelieving her hatred and shouted angrily: "I am unwilling to do my best to do such a small matter. Fortunately, I treat you like this!"
Everyone in the hall was startled. The palace maid was in great pain, but she was sobbing and did not dare to make a sound.
Wei Xuanzhen's face turned green after being scared.
As a father, he is not a tough person. His most powerful official is just a governor. He is only obtained by his family background and daughter. If it weren't for this, he would be just a mortal. How could he not be scared to death when he saw such a scene?
What's more, how could he not know the nature of his daughter? The palace maid was nothing wrong with the moment, but Wei suddenly attacked and was so cruel, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Suddenly, Wei Xuanzhen remembered something. Just now, Wei asked him to talk about business with Qin Shaoyou. He was really tired at the time and thought about talking in a few days. Although he responded, he seemed absent-minded. Could it be that his daughter was angry, but she could not express dissatisfaction with her father, so she suddenly dealt with the palace maid?
If this is the case, everything will be explained, because what Wei said just now was that you would not be willing to do your best for such a small matter... Another sentence is that if you do things without care, what is the use of this palace for you?
Thinking of this, Wei Xuanzhen felt like she was struck by lightning. Obviously, every word here was said to herself.
His face suddenly turned like earth, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground and said, "Mom...Empress..."
Only then did Wei "note" Wei Xuanzhen. She laughed suddenly, changed her anger just now, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Xuanzhen up and said, "Father, what's wrong with you, but are you feeling unhappy? You should pay more attention at your age."
Wei Xuanzhen stood up squeaked, and Wei slapped the dust on his sleeves and said angrily: "Father, look at you with a tired look on your face. I have someone to prepare a car to take you back..."
Wei Xuanzhen just timidly and went back obediently.
As soon as Wei Xuanzhen left, Wei's face suddenly became colder. After a while, an old woman came in and said, "Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince is back from the palace."
"Oh." Wei said casually: "Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't you say you would accompany Your Majesty to listen to the opera?"
"this……"
"I understand, go down."
Wei was thinking, as if he was thinking about something.

Of course, there is no need to hurry to build a city. Now it is just to do two things well, one is to build a wall and the other is to scatter the river.
What made Qin Shaoyou happy was that Yang Wulian, a big contractor, always had many wonderful ideas. Because building a city has also improved the skills of various craftsmen in the village a lot. Whether it is blacksmiths, stonemasons, or carpenters, due to the high demand for building a city, such as many tools, they need to be made of iron. However, the iron shops here in Zhuangzi are flower stands. At this time, blacksmiths can be roughly divided into three levels, the lowest level can only repair some agricultural tools or weapons. As for how to open molds and forge out hundreds of steel, they know nothing. And the second-level one is just making some agricultural tools.
The highest level is to make weapons. Such craftsmen require extremely superb skills, which are by no means comparable to ordinary people. You should know that the weapons in this era are different from those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. To some extent, except for a few elite troops, most of the military sources are worse than a group of militias. They are all military households for generations. These people have a large number, but their combat power is low. As for weapons, although the court can also make craftsmanship, they are often perfunctory. In this era, they use recruitment of soldiers, and everyone is martial. For many people, weapons are treasures, so they are never perfunctory, but strive for excellence. Therefore, Tang swords or straight swords pay attention to hundreds of forgings, which are extremely demanding.
The craftsmen who build weapons are all treasures. No matter how much Qin Shaoyou has, he cannot recruit a few.
But Yang Wulian was different. He was a master craftsman and had been familiar with this matter in the past. He also had connections in the craftsmanship department in the government. With just a little bit of news, many blacksmiths came with their families.
Qin Shaoyou recruited Yang Wulian, which was equivalent to recruiting countless skilled craftsmen. This transaction seemed to be a big profit.
For this reason, Qin Shaoyou was very worried. Although he built a city outside the village, he still had the leisure to read books occasionally and play chess with others.
