Chapter 1035 Talking About Cooperation
King Fu made up his mind and began to plan how to kill King Yu.However, such a big event always takes some time to plan.

And Liu Chengzhi's vision is too mature.Less than two months later, in May, the Ministry of Industry's transformation of the blast smelting furnace had not yet been completed, and a large amount of coal had been transferred to Huaiyuan County through the transportation rail line.

Among them was a cart of charcoal, which was not as black and shiny as ordinary coal, but gray and black, with a rough surface and much lighter weight.The charcoal burners who accompanied them called this kind of thing coke.

After the discussion that shocked Liu Chengzhi that day, the emperor handed over the matter of coal mining and removal of coal impurities to the general supervisor.Liu Chengzhi and Fu Wang didn't even know the progress of the matter, they got the news from the Ministry of Industry that coal and coke had been transported into the warehouse of the smelting workshop.

When Fu Wang got the news, he sat in the household department and his exclusive office room, thinking deeply in his eyes, which step did he delay the time?
How can it be easy to assassinate the prince, or the prince who is just now popular?That requires careful planning and timing.

His actions are already very fast, next month will be the birthday of old Prince Chong.There are many people attending the birthday banquet, and the scene must be lively, so it is the best time to start.The personnel and every step have been arranged properly, and it is only time for the birthday party to arrive.

However, when did Jiang Zuojian's work efficiency become so fast?In just over a month, what Liu Chengzhi was worried about happened.

King Fu secretly sighed that the sky was unfair, but he could only continue to follow the plan and attack King Yu at the old Prince Chong's birthday banquet next month.Otherwise, it would not be easy to find such a lively occasion with Jin Rong present.

Although the Ministry of Industry has stepped up the production of blowers for iron smelting furnaces, the time of just two months is really short.

By the time the coke arrived, there was still only one blast smelting furnace in the world.Only this smelting furnace can try out the effect of coke.

At the beginning, veterans in the smelting workshop replaced part of the charcoal with coke. After the smelting effect stabilized, the amount of coke was gradually increased until all the charcoal in the smelting furnace was replaced with coke.

Half a month later, a batch of iron materials refined with coke as fuel was quietly sent to the imperial court's arsenal.

After all the iron materials were made into weapons, the emperor went out of the palace again.This time, they took a few generals, led by An Guogong and Minister of the Ministry of War, to the weapon factory to test the quality of new material weapons.

The emperor, related generals, and officials of the Ministry of War did not publicize the inspection results of the weapons, and even some unrelated ministers in the court did not know that the arsenal had manufactured a batch of weapons with different materials.

However, in the records of the Ministry of Industry, there is an additional smelting product called steel.Take its extremely hard meaning.

But secretly, a kind of ecstasy permeated among some generals and officials in charge of armaments.

While this undercurrent is surging, the DPRK is building weapons with steel, and plans to gradually replace the weapons in the hands of the guards stationed at the border.

This result made Fu Wang and Liu Chengzhi slightly relieved.At the very least, the successful smelting of steel was accomplished through the joint efforts of the supervisor and the smelting workshop, and Jin Rong and Ye Xinyan did not participate in it.At least that's what the uninitiated think.

June [-]th is Prince Lao Chong's birthday banquet. Fu Wang felt that he had already made preparations, and everything was well laid out. He just waited for the day of the birthday banquet to come and implemented it according to the plan.

However, things often do not depend on people's will.Three days before the old prince's birthday banquet, before the sun set, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe came to Liu Yu's residence and announced that he was an old friend of Liu Yu who hadn't seen him for a long time and came to visit specially.

At nightfall, Liu Yu and the scribe bid farewell outside the gate of Liu's mansion, smelling of alcohol.Liu Yu also thoughtfully arranged his own carriage, helped him into the carriage and sent him away.

As soon as the next day morning, a family member from Fu Wang's mansion came to report that a pregnant concubine of Fu Wang had mobilized her fetus. Although she had been diagnosed and treated, her anxious mood was still unstable.Therefore, Concubine Fu asked Fu Wang to go back when he had time to appease the concubine Ji.

It is about the heirs of the prince, so we can't delay.King Fu greeted the new Minister of the Household Department, and rode back to his palace.

Entering the palace, Fu Wang did not enter the back house, but went to the living room in the front yard.In the living room, Liu Yu was anxiously waiting for him.

Liu Yu didn't exchange many greetings with King Fu. After greeting him with a simple salute, he followed King Fu's steps step by step. While walking into the house, he reported: "Last night, a scribe who claimed to be Chen Xie came to look for his subordinates. Then The scribe asked, are we going to do something at Prince Lao Chong's birthday banquet?"

King Fu had already walked to the upper chair, and just about to sit down, he was surprised when he heard Liu Yu's words: "Who is he? There should be no omissions in our plans and arrangements for this matter. How could he know?" ?”

"Chen Xie said he was working for the prince." Liu Yu said.

King Fu was startled for a moment, then frowned: "Prince? What does he want to do?"

Liu Yu's face was also not good-looking.They did this matter very secretly, using extremely reliable people, and there was absolutely no possibility of leaking the news.

But what happened to this Chen Xie?Just when they were about to make a move, he found him.And people also know when and whom they are going to attack, which is very shocking to hear.

"He is sending a message for the prince. The prince said that it is useless for His Highness to do so. He wants to meet with His Highness to discuss cooperation matters."

King Fu snorted coldly: "It's not enough to succeed, it's just more than failure. Since I entered the court, I have seen too much of his extravagant behavior and inaction. Talk to him? Apart from not getting the slightest benefit, you will be implicated to death by him .”

Liu Yu sighed and persuaded: "Your Highness, go see the prince. No matter what, you can't do what happened at the old Chongxin King's birthday banquet. Although the medicine didn't happen on the spot, someone already knew about the plan. If something happened, just I'm afraid we can really find out."

On the second day, the prince just entered the palace to greet the queen.

When he got out of the palace, he didn't do anything to hide it. First, he went to the cabinet to go around and talk nonsense with a few nervous looking masters.Then come out of the pavilion department, turn around, and go to the household department.

I greeted people along the way, saying that he had been in and out of the household department for many years, and he was very emotional, so I stopped by to have a look.

He walked all the way waving his hands, asking everyone to excuse him, walked around the office of the current household secretary, and found the door of King Fu's room.

King Fu was fidgeting and waiting for him.From the open door, the prince could be seen walking towards him with two young servants at a very leisurely pace.

When Fu Wang saw the prince for the first time, he quickly got up and greeted the prince at the door.

Before he could speak, the prince said with a smile: "Seventh brother is always good, how is the job in the household department? This room is very comfortable, right? This is the place that your second brother and I have carefully cleaned up."

King Fu was displeased, but his face remained unchanged.First saluted the prince and let him in.The officials who were coming and going in and out of the courtyard peeked at the two of them as they entered the house before leaving.
