Ministry of Industry
"Your Highness Fourth Prince, I have been waiting here for a long time."
Tang Guangmo was wearing a gray and black gown, with a silver hairpin inserted into the white jade crown, which seemed so out of place in this lazy and gloomy world.
"Brother Tang." Su Yangjiao bowed his hand to return the salute. He was a little surprised to see Tang Guangmo in the Ministry of Industry, so he asked, "Why is Brother Tang in the Ministry of Industry?"
"It's all thanks to Your Highness. I had the honor to participate in the Northern Liao competition with His Highness. His Majesty appreciated it, and I entered the court."
The few students who competed with the Northern Liao Dynasty that day were all scholars studying in the Imperial College, among them only Tang Guangmo was a Jinshi, and he found a job in the Houzhai, it really buried such a talent.
"Okay, Brother Tang is extremely talented, and working in the Six Departments is not considered a burial."
Tang Guangmo smiled very shallowly, handed a blueprint in his hand to Su Yangjiao's palm, and whispered: "Your Highness, this is the fortification plan of Baohua Palace, please have a look."
Su Yangjiao frowned, glanced at the drawings, and didn't know much about those messy standard drawings, so he said, "Brother Tang, why do you want to show me this fortification drawing?"
"Your Highness also thinks it's strange?" Tang Guangmo looked around, and continued to report: "The minister of the Ministry of Industry gave me this picture and asked me to show it to you, so I thought it was a bit strange. The superior of the workers, the Ministry of Works only needs to provide the progress of the fortifications, so why would you give me something that you can’t understand and shouldn’t be shown to you?”
Su Yangjiao raised his head and looked at the red plaque with the words "Teaching a Hundred Workers" in the middle of the yamen, and suddenly sneered.
Tang Guangmo quietly observed Su Yangjiao's expression, knowing that he had already figured out his doubts, and asked tentatively, "Does Your Highness want to wade into this muddy water?"
Su Yangjiao flicked the random drawing, pondered for a while, and then said: "Since someone dug a hole for me, if I don't jump in, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the hard work of the person who dug the hole?"
Ever since he heard about Baohua Palace in Wang Chi, he began to recall the plot in the original book, and finally figured out the plot just now.
It turned out that the book tells that Emperor Jiang was injured by a ferocious beast after hunting at a Qianqiu banquet, and he passed away after several months of treatment.
And at this Qianqiu Banquet, another thing happened. There was a wooden shifting bridge in front of the Baohua Hall in Xishan Hunting Ground. ceremony.
After the grand ceremony, when the students passed the Yimu Bridge one after another, the bridge collapsed directly, causing dozens of people to fall into the Yi River under the bridge. The incident coincided with the surge of the stream after the heavy rain in Xishan, and the water in the Yi River was surging. The person was photographed into the drinking water and never came out again.
Such a tragic event was covered up because of Emperor Jiang's injury. After that, people gradually forgot about it. It was not until the second prince Su Yunjie gained power that someone brought up the old story again. After investigation, it was found that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Presumably the plot was advanced because of his transmigration.
Only then did Tang Guangmo slowly recover from the overwhelming emotions, and looked at the face of the fourth prince with curved lips in surprise.
Only then did she get some clues from Su Yangjiao's smiling face.In just one hour, has the Fourth Prince seen through their scheme?Also seems to have figured out a coping strategy.
Tang Guangmo looked at such a cold beauty and smiled at him, his back and spine began to shiver.
In the eyes of everyone, the fourth prince is cynical and absurd. Although he has a unparalleled appearance, he is an idiot with no skills. Walking a step, he has never even heard that the fourth prince has done anything serious.
However, such a person seems to have seen through everything, everyone is under his control, and he can even think of a solution without saying a lot.
Tang Guangmo was deeply impressed. If it were him at this time, he would never be able to think of a countermeasure.
Because he didn't know about the renovation project of Baohua Palace, what could he do?The fourth prince is just a supervisor, even if the progress of the project is lagging behind, it has no direct relationship with him, no matter how I think about it, I can't think of any traps.
"Brother Tang, let's pay a visit to Master Shangshu." Su Yangjiao gently rolled up the fortification drawing and put it in his wide sleeve pocket. He was tall and raised his hand to pat Tang Guangmo's shoulder.
The two of them can't keep poking at the entrance of the engineering department. Since they are here, they must meet the people in charge of the engineering department and see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds.
During the short distance from the entrance to the main hall, Su Yangjiao had already thought about the matter of Shen Wenying, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
This person can also be regarded as a rare neutral person in Jiang Guo's court. He never stood on the side of any prince who seized the throne.
It is said that he is a "work idiot", and his favorite is to hold a copy of "Luban Jing" to study alone. He is very cautious, and he is extremely serious about fortifications. Many architectural drawings are drawn and revised by himself.
Su Yangjie had some respect for this person at that time, so when Wang Chi asked him to supervise the renovation process of Baohua Palace just now, he did not refuse.
Even knowing that there must be fraud in it.
Before Su Yangjiao reached the hall of the yamen, he saw a huge umbrella propped in the yard from afar.
There was a middle-aged official sitting under the umbrella. I saw him playing with a wooden doll in his hand. I don’t know what mechanism he made behind the doll. The doll jumped out of his hand and stood there lightly. .
"Ah." Su Yangjiao exclaimed in surprise, "Such a delicate puppet!"
Shen Wenying followed the prestige and saw that Su Yangjiao's clothes were extraordinary and elegant, so she hurriedly got up and picked up the puppet on the ground and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.
He first looked at Tang Guangmo, then at Su Yangjiao, then bowed and said, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince."
It was not the first time for Shen Wenying to see Su Yangjiao. They passed each other several times during the court, but they never said hello.
Su Yangjiao was very interested in the gadgets he hid, and said with a smile: "What kind of gadgets does Mr. Shen make? Can you let me have a look?"
Shen Wenying frowned, looked at Su Yangjiao with some embarrassment, and said, "Originally, what Your Highness said, I shouldn't refuse, but...it's just a small thing that I play around with, and it's not easy to get on the table You have made a fool of yourself in front of His Highness."
Su Yangjie could hear the refusal attitude from his tone, and he couldn't force it, so he could only withdraw his smile: "It's okay."
Thinking about Su Yangjie's notoriety, Shen Wenying was afraid that he would rob her of her love.
Tang Guangmo knew Shen Wenying's temperament very well, and he always treasured his puppets, even his own wife would not allow her to touch them, let alone Su Yangjiao, a swinger with a bad reputation.He stepped forward and started talking about the renovation of Baohua Hall.
When the three of them talked about a cup of tea, Su Yangjiao could also see that Shen Wenying was a little teasing. Everything related to business affairs would be evaded to Tang Guangmo, and if he talked about other things, he would avoid it. useless words.
Su Yangjiao felt that this was a waste of time, so he went back and Shen Wenying left first, Tang Guangmo sent her to the gate of the yamen, and the two made an appointment to go to the hunting ground in the western suburbs tomorrow to check the details of the fortifications.
After Su Yangjie said goodbye to Tang Guangmo, he climbed into the carriage and opened the gauze curtain, only to see a handsome man sitting upright, wearing a moon-white gown like a pavilion fairy, those dark eyes, The moment he appeared, there was an imperceptible tenderness.
"Are you back?" Su Yangjiao pursed his lips, his face was full of displeasure.
He came through the book, but he didn't learn anything else, but he inherited some of the tempers of those aristocrats in the original body, and he would always control his emotions so that Wei Nanxun couldn't see what he was thinking.
