Because of Luo Peishan's special protection, the message about Jingwan was temporarily subsided. But it's only temporary, or even just the tranquility before the storm. Unless Jing Wan's marriage can be resolved perfectly, so that all parties have nothing to say, otherwise, the crisis attached to Jing Wan will not be resolved.
At the same time, Luo Rongping was finally valued by Prince Kang. For Luo Rongping, it was not too late. The so-called late was just that he had already taken refuge with Prince Rui. Relying on Prince Rui means to become a nail that he placed in Prince Kang's line. Even if it is a nail, if it cannot be reused and the core cannot be touched, it will not have much effect. coming.
The first time he was summoned by Prince Kang, the treatment he received was unprecedented, and it really made Luo Rongping feel frightened.
Prince Kang asked Sun Yilin to meet with Luo Jingbo, Sun Yilin agreed, and Luo Jingbo also agreed.
Originally, when Sun Yilin also had an appointment with Luo Jingbo, he told him that no matter what Prince Kang said, the purpose was to make a joke.
To be honest, Luo Jingbo was actually quite surprised when he heard Sun Yilin's words. Even if he married Yijia himself, the position of Duke Dingguo's government was there, and the nature of his marriage with Yijia was not. So strong.
Sun Yilin didn't explain much. He was a good person from Dingguo's government, but he always avoided Sun Yibin. Even if he was deeply favored by the emperor, he never participated in political affairs. Officer, he still hardly participates in factional disputes, and he does not understand many things and does not want to understand.
However, after Luo Jingbo and Prince Kang met, Sun Yilin found that his worries were all unnecessary. This brother-in-law was bright and easygoing, but he was not an idiot who didn't have any scheming and didn't understand the world. Anyway, Sun Yilin, as a guest, After listening to it for a long time, I had to sigh that it was indeed taught by Luo Shangshu. It seemed that Prince Kang dominated the conversation, but in fact, Luo Jingbo had always been leading the other party by the nose, but Li Hongyi did not know it.
Luo Jingbo's uprightness also depends on the target.
In fact, Luo Jingbo's actions were more obvious. If he changed it, he would not have found any clues. Therefore, Prince Kang's IQ is a flaw. Maybe his IQ is at the level of ordinary people, but everyone he comes into contact with has become refined, which makes him seem a little stupid invisibly.
When Sun Yilin was about to leave, he never thought that Prince Kang had asked a gentleman from Hualou to accompany him, and his face was naturally a little dark. However, although Li Hongyi was his cousin, he would not let him speak. It's just that what happened next really surprised him, because when the beautiful gentleman approached, he was about to snuggle into Luo Jingbo's arms, but Luo Jingbo sneezed several times in succession, "What does the girl smell like? , so pungent?"
The clerk was stunned, then very at a loss, tears condensed in his eyes.
Prince Kang's face was black, and he waved and let people roll down.
"The Caomin is disrespectful, the prince atonement." He couldn't help rubbing his nose.
"It has nothing to do with you."
In this way, in the end, it seems that there is a lot of talk, but the fact is that there is no substance at all. And the person Prince Kang was going to send was returned without getting close.
Luo Jingbo and Sun Yilin left together. Sun Yilin saw that Luo Jingbo was refreshed and did not feel bad at all. His eyes became more and more strange, "Brother-in-law, did you do it on purpose?"
Luo Jingbo smiled at Sun Yilin, the kind that was especially harmless, "Uncle, what are you referring to?"
Well, no need to ask, Sun Yilin has already determined that he did it on purpose, and even he was deceived by pretending to be so. "A person can't look like a person." Sun Yilin once again deeply realized the meaning of this word.
Luo Jingbo still pretended to be silly and smiled.
Sun Yilin didn't ask any more questions. It's not bad that this brother-in-law has this kind of heart. He is now more recruited than himself.
After Luo Jingbo returned to Luo's house, he went directly to see his baby sister.
Although she knew that she didn't take the outside world to heart, sometimes she couldn't help worrying about her.
It's just that he seemed to be fiddling with something, but he didn't get an answer after asking.
On that day, after Luo Pei went down to the government office, Jing Wan went to him with something.
Jingwan often goes in and out of the study, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
"Girl, are you looking for grandfather?" Luo Peishan looked at the thing in Jingwan's hand.
Jingwan didn't say anything, just handed the thing to Luo Peishan.
Luo Peishan first fiddled with the long tube-shaped thing, and he was a little unclear, so he set his eyes on the two sheets of paper, the top one was an extremely detailed drawing, "This thing, clairvoyance?"
Jing Wan turned around the desk, walked to Luo Peishan and told him how to use it.
In Luo Peishan's eyes, the leaves farthest outside the study door seemed to be in front of him all at once. Luo Peishan was amazed, clairvoyance, clairvoyance, although this name is suspected of exaggeration, it can see very far.
Jingwan didn't bother and let Luo Peishan play around there. The lens in the telescope is made of white crystal with the highest transparency, and the effect is still worse than that of glass. However, Jingwan is quite satisfied with the final result.
Luo Peishan finally had enough of it, but after all, the experience and knowledge of that kind of thing, apart from thinking that it was quite strange, I couldn't find any other effect for the time being, "Wanwan, although this thing is exquisite, but..."
"How about marching and fighting? The enemy can't see me."
Luo Peishan's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's really wonderful!" Although Luo Peishan has never been on the battlefield, the situation is conceivable. This is just a plaything, and it is clearly a treasure with a great effect.
Luo Peishan put his eyes on the drawing again, and he could understand it roughly. For the specifics, he would directly hand it over to the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. There is one finished product, and the drawings are also fine. Go home and hold the baby.
Luo Peishan looked and looked, finally put down the blueprint, and picked up another piece of paper, the same blueprint, with a crossbow on it, different from the commonly used crossbow, but an improved burst crossbow. Because there is no finished product, Luo Peishan can't see how good this crossbow is, but, with the continuous shooting, once it is forged, it will definitely be more powerful than the current crossbow.
Luo Peishan put the things away solemnly.
"Three girls, what do you want to ask for when you brought something here?" This was obviously going to be presented to the imperial court. It was an extraordinary period, and Luo Peishan knew that she should have her plans.
"Grandfather, do you think it's possible to seek the position of Prince Jin's concubine?"
Luo Peishan watched Jingwan's expression change again, inexplicably with a dim light, and said extremely calmly or indifferently, "Three girls, do you know what you are talking about?"
Jingwan pursed her lips, "Grandfather, I know very well what I'm talking about. People like Prince Jin are shunned by others, but now I'm joining in on my own. It's really unwise, and it may even make people feel stupid. , but in the current situation, Prince Jin is the best candidate, if he becomes his fiancée, the predicament will be solved."
Jingwan is very clear, don't look at the grandfather is very imposing now. He is still within the tolerance of some people and thinks that he still has the possibility to use it for himself. If he has been tough to the end, no one will tolerate him to continue to sit in the current position. The position of Minister of Officials is too much. It is important, no one can allow him to be alone, and at the beginning of taking office, the current situation is very tricky, this position itself is unstable, if others want to pull him down, the third uncle Luo Rongping is restless, so, always. If you can find some reasons for attacking Luo Peishan, there will be some out of nothing, and Luo Peishan's final fate can be imagined. Therefore, it is not only Jingwan who is in danger, but also Luo Peishan, and the entire Luo family.
Prince Jin has no power or power, but he is someone who can't be provoked by anyone. He seems to be the adopted son of Concubine Su Gui, but everyone knows that he doesn't stick to either side.
"Indeed, the current game is broken, so, girl, do you think about the future? Moreover, Prince Jin is not easy to provoke, and using him to break the game may bring more trouble to the Luo family. After all, other People can still make them scruples, but Prince Jin has no scruples, he is blatant, and you have nothing to do with him."
"So, it's just asking for a name." Ruan Fangfei is a pervert. She didn't want to compete with her. Besides, Prince Jin probably still has a true love Bai Yueguang in his heart. She is not interested in getting involved. , as long as the Luo family is stabilized and she is allowed to leave, even if it is a special way to let her live as another person, it is all right, but the "first wife" is the last bottom line, she can't even insist on this one All gave up.
When Jingwan lowered her eyes slightly, Luo Peishan looked at her more and more strangely. Good grandson, you also have to see if Prince Jin agrees or not. He has calculated so much for so long, and now you take the initiative to send it to his mouth, and you haven't swallowed you in one bite. However, he couldn't just let the living King of Hell fall ill because of his anger, so he had to give him something in return. "Girl, you should know that the more important thing is in the future."
"In the future, grandfather also thinks that if any other prince ascends the throne, Prince Jin will die?"
"Could it be that the girl has another opinion?"
"Although I have only had a handful of contacts with Prince Jin, and the time is short, one thing is certain, he is not a fool, he will not know his current situation? But looking at him, he is still doing his own way, He doesn't know how to restrain himself. Could it be that he doesn't care about his own life at all? There is no reason to let him live and die. In this case, he must have a means to protect himself. I never thought that when other princes came to power, he died. day."
Luo Peishan's eyes flickered. Although his granddaughter didn't know the truth, he saw it accurately. "Even so, Prince Jin is acting unreasonably."
"These two things are only used by the sage. After all, my status is not enough to be a princess. Only if the sage agrees, can we talk about other things. If the prince does not agree, I will not force it."
This status is indeed the biggest obstacle, otherwise Prince Jin would have already asked for marriage directly, but for the emperor, this is not a problem at all, as long as he nods his head and wants to improve a person's status, that is A word thing. Dear grandson, if this happens, it will solve Prince Jin's biggest problem.
Luo Peishan couldn't help but think to himself, the living hell king is so arrogant and the biggest trouble, he doesn't need to use the most extreme method to solve it, but let his future daughter-in-law solve it, I don't know what the expression will be.
"Girl, you have to think about it clearly, Prince Jin's reputation..."
"The rumors are often exaggerated, and it's not clear how true they are. Besides, I don't seek practical things. Whether he is romantic or not has nothing to do with me. How do you treat your own direct wife? You don’t want to be a wife, don’t you all say that I am a husband, and we, the character of restraining people, may meet each other and become each other.” Jing Wan smiled.
Luo Peishan really knew now that Jingwan didn't care about the marriage, and this step should have been carefully considered. "That being the case, I will present the things to the Sage tomorrow to find out what the Sage means."
Jing Wan nodded. After thinking about it again, "Actually, as long as a marriage contract is not bad, anyway, the granddaughter will not get married until at least after the wedding, and there is still a long time, with the marriage contract as a buffer, the grandfather should be able to stand completely in the official department. Feet, some things can be handled well, and at that time, even if others want to pull you off the horse, it will not be so easy, at that time Prince Jin is not happy, so you can 'give' me once."
Luo Peishan looked at Jingwan and didn't know what to say. In the end, she did this for him and the Luo family, but in fact, maybe he should tell Prince Jin what she said, so that he would also block his heart.
However, in this way, Prince Jin is spared the need to expose it now and make a case of forcing the palace to rebel. It should be noted that even if it is to seize the throne, now is indeed not a good time. This is simply a catastrophe that virtually resolved Qiyuan. The third girl has accumulated so much fortune, and if God is not kind to her, she is really blind.
Later, Luo Peishan became interested again and heard how Jingwan thought of this.
"I don't know how I thought of it. I used to do it in Qi'an Mansion to play, but it was not so detailed at that time, and I didn't think of a far-reaching use." This lie is familiar again and again. Anyway, in Qi'an Mansion At that time, she did tinker with a lot of gadgets that were strange to others, so there was nothing strange about it. Besides, at that time, she really hunted with a crossbow, and it didn't seem strange to think about it.
The reason why she understands this thing is that in a previous life, someone gave her a crossbow. She was curious for a while, and played with it for a while. I vaguely remember some, so it took me a few days and a good study to basically restore the blueprint. However, she estimates that there may be some areas that need to be improved. She believed that those people in the Ordnance Bureau would succeed in the end.
Because Jingwan sent Mama Gong to Rouge Pavilion, she naturally didn't follow her to the former study, and what Jingwan did before, because she never told her, I don't know its intention, therefore, the important conversation between the grandparents and grandson in the study It didn't reach Li Hongyuan immediately.
The next day, there was no early court, and Luo Peishan went directly to the imperial study to meet Emperor Lecheng.
Naturally, there were several other ministers in the imperial study at this time. After dealing with the political affairs, Luo Peishan left the things to the end before presenting them, because there was another book written, so there was no need to explain anything.
Emperor Lecheng is an emperor after all, and he still has the foresight to have. Seeing what Luo Peishan presented, he couldn't help but move in his heart. This is indeed a good thing. "Come here, the Minister of Communication and Industry and the Governor of Zuo have an audience." Taking advantage of this moment, "This thing is very good, who made it, and has such a clever mind?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the third granddaughter of this minister."
Emperor Lecheng's eyes moved, and he was deeply impressed by Jingwan. "Dashan. Last time, that girl found a great talent for Qi Yuan for me. I haven't rewarded it yet. This time, I will reward it together. Tell me what Aiqing wants."
"Can the granddaughter of the minister be the daughter-in-law of the emperor?" Luo Peishan said bluntly without hesitation.
Emperor Lecheng's eyebrows moved, "Oh, does Aiqing like my eleventh prince?"
Luo Peishan is also helpless, he is so sincere, why can't he speak well, what's the point of pretending not to understand. "The eleventh prince is still young." If he is less than fourteen, he is a real child. Even if his good grandson marries him in another two years, he will have to take care of the older child, mother, he is To find a grandson-in-law who can be distressed, caring, and protect his good grandson, is not to let the good grandson marry off and become a mother. "Your Majesty, I don't ask that girl to be rich, rich, brocade and food, I just want her to be happy and healthy, but now people are swordsmen, she is fish, and I feel distressed when I look at her, and I don't need to say that my old wife. I don't dare to think about the throne of the princess."
Emperor Lecheng understood that Luo Peishan was real. "Lao Liu's temper, and his reputation..." Although he may not know everything about the situation in Beijing, he still knows the current situation of the Luo family. In fact, he is also very satisfied with Luo Peishan.
Luo Peishan laughed, "That girl of the minister's family is still being passed down. As for the rest, if the Prince of Jin is not willing, the minister will not force it." Not happy? Isn't it crazy!
"Let me think about it."
Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Governor Zuo, one after the other, quickly arrived at the imperial study.
The finished product of clairvoyance was directly given to Qin Tianming. Among the current generals, he has the most experience in leading troops to fight, and he can be regarded as a victorious general. He has the most say in military items.
After getting the usage of this thing, after a little try, his eyes immediately glowed with golden light. Obviously, don't ask, just looking at his expression, the effect of clairvoyance is not trivial.
And the minister of the Ministry of Industry who got the blueprint was equally excited beyond words.
"Zhong Aiqing, what do you think of this picture?"
"Your Majesty, Dashan. Previously, the Armament Bureau always wanted to transform the hand crossbow, but there was not much progress. Looking at this picture again, at least 80% of the forging will be successful. More importantly, it can achieve five shots in a row, which is a big deal. The increased speed may completely replace the configuration of bows and arrows in cavalry, and the lethality of cavalry can at least double."
"Okay." Emperor Lecheng couldn't help but clapped the table. He was not an emperor who had ambitions to expand his territory, but as an emperor, he naturally hoped that his country would be strong and strong.
Hearing the words, Zuo Dudu couldn't help but step forward and approached the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, his heart beat faster, "Good thing."
Everyone knows that the power of the crossbow is much stronger than that of the bow, and the range is farther, but the speed of winding is slow, and it is not dominant on the battlefield, but if it shoots continuously, it makes up for the deficiency...
Because of the reaction of the two, Emperor Lecheng became more and more excited, and it took a long time to calm down.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't wait to go back to study the blueprints with the people from the Armament Bureau, and the Governor Zuo also wanted to experience the effect of clairvoyance more intuitively. It's important, and you can't reveal half of it. However, the Zuo Governor's plan failed, and the finished clairvoyance was detained by Emperor Lecheng. The Governor Zuo felt depressed in his heart, so he went to the Armament Bureau with the Minister of Industry in a shameless manner.
Then, in the imperial study, apart from a personal servant of Emperor Lecheng, there were only two monarchs and ministers.
"Luo Aiqing, you go first."
"My minister retire."
Emperor Lecheng fell into silence for a while. The marriage of his wicked son was really a headache. Originally, he had plans to break the jar and break the jar. Let's see if there is fate in the future. It was really unexpected that Luo Peishan wanted that evil barrier to be his grandson-in-law, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. The three girls of the Luo family are indeed good, whether it is character or bearing, they are enough to support the identity of the princess.
"Prince Xuan Jin entered the palace for an audience."
Hearing Emperor Lecheng's call, Li Hongyuan was puzzled. He didn't seem to do much for the past two days. He was able to go once every three days, once in ten times. Concubine, please be safe, and by the way, I met Emperor Lecheng, and I only met the day before yesterday, so his father is definitely not suddenly "thinking" about his son.
No matter how much you think about it, you will know it when you see Emperor Lecheng.
Emperor Lecheng didn't betray him, "Luo Aiqing wants you to be his grandson-in-law, what do you think?"
Li Hongyuan's heart was beating wildly, but his face did not change at all, "The reason."
"The Luo family is now in turmoil, and you are the best person to help them stabilize the situation." With the marriage contract between the three girls of the Luo family and this evil barrier, it is enough, nothing else needs to be done, how simple.
The Luo family will fall into this situation, and Emperor Yuecheng will account for half of the factors.
"My son is asking the royal father why he agreed."
"Luo Aiqing presented two things." So, Lao Tzu sold you.
"Since the father and the emperor have agreed, why do you ask the son to do it?"
I'm not afraid that you will make a fool of yourself again! "If that's the case, then this matter is settled, let's go."
Li Hongyuan left without any reluctance at all, but no one knows how excited he is now. However, what he has worked hard for for so long, his daughter-in-law has done it easily, and it is really such a setback. However, the daughter-in-law is so powerful, she has to deal with Ruan Fangfei as soon as possible. Is she directly killed? Or crippled? Or is it destroyed
The next day, the eldest princess' residence sent someone to tell that there was something wrong with the eighteenth scholar, and asked Jingwan to take a look.
Jingwan stayed in the eldest princess' mansion for most of the day, and then there were rumors that the eldest princess liked Jingwan very much and wanted to accept her as a righteous daughter.
Both Jingwan and Luo Peishan knew that the marriage was over.
