Datang all-rounder

Chapter 235

Comrade Li Er and Wang Ke's toss still alarmed Li Ke and several craftsmen. Li Ke turned around and saw that Comrade Li Er was coming, and quickly knelt down to salute. The craftsmen behind him heard that the emperor had come. , the calf turned straight, but the knees couldn't bend, and they all stared blankly at Comrade Li Er, even forgetting to bow their heads.

Seeing this posture, Wang Ke hurried up, one person got kicked on the knee joint, and said with a smile: "A group of stupid people don't know how to kneel when they see the emperor coming, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to the emperor! "

Wang Ke is actually saving these craftsmen by doing this. If he dares not to kneel down and salute in front of the emperor, but to stare straight at the emperor, that is disrespect to Comrade Li Er, and it is a capital offense if you talk about it. ah!

After being kicked by Wang Ke, the craftsmen seemed to react one by one, and knelt down to pay respects to Comrade Li Er.Comrade Li Er waved his hand casually and made them all stand up, without blaming them at all.

Lowering his head, Comrade Li Er said to Li Ke: "Get up, you continue your business, I will just watch and listen."

Li Ke got up to thank the craftsmen and greeted the craftsmen to continue the topic just now, but the craftsmen couldn't let go because of Comrade Li Er's arrival, and they seemed a little cold for a while
Seeing this, Wang Ke quickly walked to Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, let me show you His Highness's achievements in the past few days."

Comrade Li Er was also on a whim today. When he walked to Li Jing's place, he happened to meet Chai Shao who was talking about Li Ke at Li Jing's place. Those who are in this department, of course, will accompany them here as a matter of course.

Comrade Li Er saw that he was sitting here, and these craftsmen didn't speak, knowing that he was in the way. Now that Wang Ke said this, he took advantage of the situation and went down the donkey, nodding repeatedly, calling for Li Jing and others to accompany him to have a look .

Wang Ke helped Comrade Li Er and walked to the place where the steel was being smelted. Wang Ke did not dare to let Comrade Li Er walk too close. After all, the temperature here is relatively high. I started to introduce what was going on to Comrade Li Er, but Comrade Li Er was very excited and kept walking until he felt that he couldn't stand it before stopping.

Wang Ke didn't care about it. Anyway, during this period of time, I have gotten used to this high temperature a lot. Now, wherever Comrade Li Er goes, I just follow him. But look at how many Li Jings are following behind. People, but it's a little different. Comrade Li Er was concerned about his emperor's face, and sweat dripped down without opening a single button.

Li Jing and the other three old killers can't control so many people. When they walked in, they saw that Li Ke and the craftsmen were shirtless, and Wang Ke had unbuttoned them at least, so he felt extremely hot now. , had already started to unbutton it, and Cheng Zhijie had already taken the coat in his hands, looking at his posture, he seemed to be taking off his clothes again.

Comrade Li Er listened carefully to Wang Ke's introduction. Because he was far away, he wanted to go up to have a look, but he had to give up because he couldn't stand the high temperature.

After listening to Wang Ke's words, Comrade Li Er understood that what Li Ke is doing now, people who don't know it will seem to be useless. In fact, it is a very important thing for Datang, not only for the It is useful in military affairs, but it is also of great use in other aspects.

Comrade Li Er nodded, walked towards the meeting, returned to the place where Li Ke and the others were talking, stopped, and listened carefully to the discussion between Li Ke and several craftsmen.As soon as Comrade Li Er left, the craftsmen lost their sense of restraint, and they had a heated discussion with Li Ke there. Now that Comrade Li Er came back, they couldn't care less about it, and just kept thinking about what was in their minds. They kept pouring out.

Comrade Li Er listened for a long time, but he didn't understand what they were saying, so he turned his head and asked Wang Ke: "What are they talking about, why can't I understand a word!"

Wang Ke unconsciously despised Comrade Li Er in his heart: "You think you can know everything when you become the emperor, what they say, even I, a modern person, can't understand it very well, let alone you !"

But Wang Ke didn't dare to say that, if he said this, his life might be lost.

Wang Ke explained: "Your Majesty, they are discussing with Your Highness how to adopt some new techniques, which can make our dynasty's iron-making technology go a step further. It is my dynasty's use of limited resources to make good and fast iron." , and can use limited resources to train more iron."

Comrade Li Er was listening to Wang Ke explaining to himself, while watching Li Ke constantly exchanging opinions with the craftsmen, he was a little surprised and asked: "Could it be that Ke'er understands what they are talking about, and is able to understand what they are talking about?" Do you want to judge?"

Wang Ke didn't have time to think about it, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, what do you mean? His Highness is in charge of this matter. If His Highness doesn't know how, how can he manage these craftsmen and let them do things!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Ke felt that what he had said was a bit inappropriate. Although Li Ke was lifted up by saying this, it would be a little embarrassing to Comrade Li Er.

Wang Ke hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, what I mean is..."

Before Wang Ke finished speaking, Comrade Li Er turned around and said to Wang Ke: "I didn't see it, Ke'er is really capable now, boy, you are very good, what I know There are many, and I can write a lot of things with Ke'er, I am very pleased!"

Wang Ke opened his mouth wide and looked at Comrade Li Er, feeling that Comrade Li Er didn't hear what he just said to him. Fortunately, Comrade Li Er interrupted his explanation, otherwise he would really be The darker the description, the better the mood of Comrade Li Er might be lost!

After Comrade Li Er finished speaking, he saw Wang Ke looking at him with his mouth open, and asked in puzzlement, "Boy, what's the matter? Do you have anything to say to me?"

Wang Ke quickly closed his mouth, and said with a smile on his face: "No, no, I just think that His Highness is so diligent and studious, it must be inseparable from the emperor's usual teaching to His Highness. But the Emperor actually credited this credit to the minister." On the top of my head, it really made me panic, so I just wanted to explain it to the emperor. In fact, His Highness's achievement has nothing to do with the minister, it is all the emperor's credit, plus His Highness's own intelligence."

In fact, people with a discerning eye can understand that Wang Ke's words are a typical bull's head and a horse's mouth, but no one has the heart to expose him. The fart was captured in place, which made Comrade Li Er feel warm in his heart, let alone think that what Wang Ke said and what he asked were completely different things.

However, while Comrade Li Er was happy, he still felt a little sad in a certain corner of his heart. After being stabbed by Wang Ke's words, Comrade Li Er immediately thought of what the prince usually did. While feeling gratified, she also felt a little more resentment towards the prince.

This prince Li Chengqian is his chosen successor, but he has never made himself feel at ease, but Li Ke always makes himself wary, and makes himself afraid that Datang will change his surname when he thinks about it. He used to look like a typical one. The son of the ignorant and idle prince is actually the one who can make me feel at ease, and I can trust him to do everything I do.

In contrast, Comrade Li Er looked down on the prince Li Chengqian even more, and his weight in Li Ke's heart was even more aggravated.

After thinking about it, Comrade Li Er said unconsciously: "If Chengqian can be half as sensible as Ke'er, I won't worry so much. Hey, why don't you let me worry like this! "

As soon as Comrade Li Er said this, Li Jing and the other three veterans dared not speak at all.The three veteran killers are all good people. At this time, it is obvious that Comrade Li Er is very dissatisfied with the crown prince Li Chengqian, but he still has no hope of giving up. It is not good to persuade or not to persuade at this time.

Persuade him, if Comrade Li Er said a few words to him, he would be making trouble for himself. Don't persuade him. If the prince finds out, he will definitely hold a grudge. Even if I stand on it.

That's why the three old killers looked curious about everything, their eyes looked east and west, as if they didn't hear what Comrade Li Er was saying.

Wang Ke is different. I didn't deal with the prince in the first place. Even if I don't talk about the prince's good or bad, the prince will not treat me very well. Why don't I take this opportunity to take a good look at the prince, and then By the way, lifting Li Ke up is also a contribution to Li Ke.

After thinking about what to say, Wang Ke said: "Your Majesty, actually, you can't blame His Highness the Crown Prince for this matter. This person has a different temperament. The Crown Prince is still ignorant now. It will be fine when he grows up. The Third Highness is different." Yes, I have been smart since I was a child, and with the belief that I will contribute to the Great Tang and share the emperor's worries, so I will do my best in everything. The third highness often tells his ministers that this big Tang's world was brought down by the emperor with great effort. As the son of the emperor, he should contribute to the great Tang and be loyal to the emperor, so that my great Tang will last forever. This is what the third highness said , and that's exactly what I did. I believe that the emperor also sees it, so I don't need to talk too much, the emperor understands it very well!"

Wang Ke's words didn't seem to speak ill of the prince at all, but it sounded even more unpleasant to Comrade Li Er.This prince is the eldest son, if he is ignorant, Li Ke should be even more ignorant than the prince, after all Li Ke is much younger than Li Chengqian.

And the kind words he said to Li Ke later can be said to be naked. Anyway, Comrade Li Er will not immediately ask Li Ke if he has said that, at worst, when he returns home later, what will Wang Ke do to himself? Tell Comrade Li Er, tell Li Ke, and let Li Ke know how he speaks for him, so that when this topic comes up in the future, Li Ke just doesn’t slip up.

Comrade Li Er was very surprised and asked Wang Ke: "Did Ke'er really say that? The boy didn't lie to me!"

Comrade Li Er wanted to say that it was possible not to doubt Wang Ke's words, but it was definitely impossible to believe it right away. Although he wanted to believe it in his heart, he still couldn't help asking.

Wang Ke said solemnly: "Your Majesty, how can I lie to the Emperor? The crime of deceiving the Emperor is very serious. I have only one head, but I can't stand the emperor's beheading. If I hadn't seen the emperor I am happy today, but I was moved by the spirit of the Third Highness, so I said it all at once. If the emperor doesn't believe it, I will definitely not say it in the future, so that the emperor won't believe it!"

Comrade Li Er was really moved by Wang Ke's confession. He looked at Li Ke who was still talking to the craftsman, and his eyes were already full of relief.

Wang Ke saw it in his eyes and was secretly happy. He knew that his words had moved Comrade Li Er very much today. No matter what, Li Ke's status would have to be improved a lot. Prince Li Chengqian is on par, but the gap will be very small.

After Li Ke finally finished talking with the craftsmen, he stood up and found that Comrade Li Er was standing not far behind him. After waving his hand to let the craftsmen leave, he hurried over to salute and report to Comrade Li Er.

Comrade Li Er pretended to listen to Li Ke's report, nodded and said: "Ke'er, the department you manage can be regarded as the most important place in my Tang Dynasty. Take care of your affairs. If you have any questions, you can tell me directly, and I will support you!"

Although Comrade Li Er's words were meant to motivate Li Ke, it also invisibly separated Li Ke from the General Armament Department, and this is reporting directly to him, so the General Armament Department has no way to manage it. .

Although Wang Ke didn't like Comrade Li Er's move, he would not stand up to oppose it, because in this way, Li Ke and Comrade Li Er would spend more time in contact. The status in Comrade Two's mind will become higher and higher, which is exactly what Wang Ke wants to see.

Comrade Li Er probably felt that there was nothing to see. He waved to Li Jing and the others, indicating that it was time to go back. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned to Wang Ke and said, "Boy, I'm going to my place tomorrow. I have something to say." ask you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Ke, and added: "Ke'er, come along too."

Wang Ke and Li Ke hurriedly bowed and agreed to come down, and stood up straight after watching Comrade Li Er and his party disappear.

Wang Ke and Li Ke looked at each other, not understanding what Comrade Li Er asked them to do, but seeing that the other party's eyes were all questions that they agreed with themselves, so they tacitly didn't ask, and even thought about it personally. The same idea, let’s play it by ear when we go tomorrow. If you can’t guess it now, it’s pointless to force a guess.

Wang Ke carefully told Li Ke what he had just said to Comrade Li Er, and repeatedly warned Li Ke to remember it, so as to prevent Comrade Li Er from asking when the two people's answers could be consistent. Will slip up.

Li Ke also understood that Wang Ke was doing this for his own good, so he didn't say anything, but just bowed to Wang Ke and expressed his gratitude to Wang Ke.

Of course Wang Ke also understood this meaning, smiled, and together with Li Ke called all the craftsmen to the two of them, and explained to them that the two of them would go to the palace to meet Comrade Li Er tomorrow morning. After everything was arranged in the morning, the two of them left Xiangjia with peace of mind.

Along the way, the two of them analyzed the opinions exchanged between Li Ke and the craftsmen. Wang Ke felt that it was Hyde who would talk to Comrade Li Er tomorrow. Give a detailed explanation, and open your mouth to ask Comrade Li Er for some raw materials, so that if there is no raw material for refining when there is a breakthrough, then you can only be caught blind.

Li Ke thought about it and felt that what Wang Ke said was reasonable and unambiguous, so he nodded and agreed. As for other issues, of course we will talk about it at that time. I don’t know what it is now, so it’s better not to think about it Woolen cloth.
