Changsun Wuji and others immediately turned their heads and passed by.
This steward of the Chu Palace must know the inside story.
They look forward to it.
But unfortunately, the old man took a deep breath, looked away from the pit in front of him, and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I am just a housekeeper, but as I said, I am only in charge of Prince Chu's Mansion. This thing, I have never seen anything so terrifying."
"If I really knew this, I would definitely not dare to hide it from Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, and your Majesty, but I really don't know."
The old man shook his head.
There was also extreme surprise in his words.
Indeed, it seems that he has never seen this thing before.
only…….
I heard some noises when His Highness was about to leave, but I didn't pay attention to them at all.
But the old man didn't want to tell Li Shimin these things.
To be honest, even if the old man has never seen this mysterious little iron stone, it is definitely His Highness’ core secret.
The only ones who know about it are Shen Lian and Yu Huatian, who specialize in external expansion, right?
They, who are in the Lord, are not qualified to know.
The division of labor is clear.
Li Shimin looked deeply at the old man.
He knew that the old man did not lie, and this old gentleman did not bother to lie.
He really doesn't know.
Li Shimin nodded.
He looked at the big pit in front of him, raised his head, and looked at the yard in front of him.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
He was a little excited, a little nervous, and his hands were a little overwhelmed.
This thing….
If there really is still one in this yard, then...
Gudong…….
Li Shimin swallowed hard.
He could not imagine what earth-shaking changes it would bring to Datang.
The Tang Dynasty will definitely become the most powerful country in the future, and the shame of the Wei River three years ago will also be washed away by himself!
Everything becomes simple!
Everything becomes smoother!
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin and others hurriedly followed, and their faces became serious.
This pit is still there.
It was like a fist, hitting them hard.
Little Sizi jumped up and down next to Li Shimin.
Queen Changsun looked at Xiao Sizi and felt that she really didn't know what to say.
I wonder if this girl and Kuan'er are destined to be in conflict with each other. How much of Kuan'er's private money is this little girl's chance encounter?
This time the little iron stone.
And the sweet potatoes from last time are almost all related to her.
Queen Changsun shook her head.
I'm afraid that when Kuan'er comes back, this little girl's face won't be saved, and I'm afraid that Kuan'er will pinch her face and kill her.
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing were also completely convinced by Xiao Sizi.
If it were them, they would definitely not be able to discover that thing.
Even if the thing was right under their feet, they would all regard it as a stone and kick it aside.
However, think about it if it suddenly explodes when you lift it...
Speaking of which, it was Xiao Sizi who saved their lives.
In silence, everyone followed Li Shimin to the courtyard.
The walls of this courtyard are taller than all the buildings in the Chu King's Courtyard.
This may be to prevent peeping from outside the wall.
The door is tightly closed.
"Old sir, do you have the key?"
Li Shimin looked at the old man.
The old man shook his head and said: "The key to this yard is where the red bird is."
Say it.
The old man seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Shimin, and continued: "By the way, Your Majesty, Hongque is one of His Highness's personal maids."
Cardinal?!
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun both narrowed their eyes slightly.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others were also a little surprised.
This was the first time they heard such a name.
Somewhat strange.
But it has a different meaning, and it sounds very comfortable.
I finally know the names of the people around His Highness King Chu. Before, I didn’t know many of them.
Except that they know the name of King Chu, it seems... they don't even know the name of the young man in King Chu's palace.
They didn't ask either.
"That's it."
"Cardinal...is a good name."
"In that case, let's forget it."
Li Shimin clapped his hands.
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Li Shimin to be so easy to talk to, so he didn't want to enter?
He also looks a bit unlike His Majesty...
The old man groaned in his heart.
But then, Li Shimin glanced at Li Junxian and continued: "Crack it open."
When the old man heard this, he was not surprised at all, and actually felt more comfortable.
This is the temperament of your bandit, Your Majesty.
He really didn't believe that Li Shimin would go in just now.
How can it be!
With such power, if Li Shimin and these veterans don't understand it, will they just give up?
The old man quietly stepped aside.
Nothing more to say.
He knew that even if he stopped him at this time, it would be in vain.
This is your son's house, you can do whatever you want.
Anyway, His Highness also said that there is no need to worry about where Li Shimin and Queen Changsun want to go here, just follow them.
Li Junxian drew the knife directly.
The embroidered spring knife fell.
The door lock clicked.
Li Shimin pushed it away with both hands and walked in.
The yard is not big.
Just as soon as I entered the hospital.
There are two wing rooms in the east and west, with a lobby in the middle.
It seems simple.
but…….
The layout of this yard is very different from other yards.
Scarecrows stood in a row along the courtyard wall.
Each scarecrow also has a circle handle hanging on it.
In a corner, there is also a small fort surrounded by sandbags, and the ground inside has been blown to pieces.
There are also piles of discarded saddles and horse stools piled on the other side.
The other piece seemed to have a pile of discarded coal, but this coal was different from their usual matchmakers.
In short, it’s just one word, chaos!
It seems like no one has ever taken care of this yard.
"This yard..."
"It seems to be Kuan'er's training ground. We...we just found the treasure mountain?"
Li Shimin pursed his lips, looked around, and couldn't help but said in shock.
Baoshan?!
Everyone took a breath.
seem…….
There is no problem in saying so.
Look at the courtyard, the closed east and west wings, and the door to the lobby.
In this courtyard, they are not allowed to leave empty-handed, and there must be other private money that they have not seen.
"This place should be a secret place where His Royal Highness the King of Chu usually tinkers with some novel things, Gudong... these seem to be some serious things."
Wei Zheng scanned around and said with difficulty.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the treasure in this yard is enough for us to drink a pot. This coal, I seem to have never seen anything like this before."
Changsun Wuji stared at the pile of coal and said.
"I wonder what kind of private money King Chu has hidden in this room. Your Majesty, why don't you open the door first?"
Du Ruhui rubbed his hands, his voice a little distorted due to excitement.
Excited!
excited!
Can't hold myself!
This feeling is really exciting. What does a wave of fat mean?
They finally experienced what it was like to be bandits.
Damn it!
So cool!
My heart was beating so hard.
Who would have thought that he would find the headquarters of His Royal Highness the King of Chu’s private money!
The old man looked at the group of emperors and princes in the court from the side, and saw that they were all excited and greedy no better than those bandits.
He sighed and shook his head silently.
I thought in my heart that it was really a wise move for Your Highness to leave Chang'an.
Look at their appearance. Is this a place where people can stay in Chang'an?!
If His Highness is still in the courtyard now, I am afraid it will annoy His Highness to death.
Queen Changsun seemed to have seen through the old man's inner sigh and felt a little embarrassed.
"Old sir, just report all these to King Chu."
"It's not your dereliction of duty, it's your Majesty and all the ministers. Well... I believe King Chu will not make things difficult for you."
Empress Changsun didn't know what to say either, so she muttered to comfort her.
The old man smiled.
"What are you talking about, the Queen? Since Your Highness has said so, Your Majesty and the Queen are free to do whatever they want in this place. I don't have anything to say. Please feel free to do what you want."
The old man said.
Queen Changsun nodded.
Little Sizi has happily run to play next to the scarecrow, while Princess Changle is following and looking after him.
Li Shimin led a group of people and walked directly to the pile of abandoned saddles.
Compared with those coals, this saddle and saddle attracted him more.
The fact that these saddles can be piled up in this yard already means something.
After all, if it were an ordinary saddle, where could it be placed in the King of Chu's Courtyard?!
Not to mention, they can be piled up in this yard where no one can enter.
A group of people gathered around.
He looked carefully with his eyes.
Li Shimin frowned.
These saddles seemed to be really abandoned, because they were a bit different from the saddles in his impression, and they were also a bit different from the saddles currently used in the Tang Dynasty.
It must be a defective product.
Li Shimin thought to himself.
"this……."
However, Li Jing rolled up his sleeves, bent down and picked up a saddle.
This saddle is much heavier than the Tang saddle.
Moreover, it is also much more complicated.
"I have never had this saddle in the Tang Dynasty. We have never seen it before."
Li Jing stretched out his arms and showed the saddle.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Jingde, the three generals, all shook their heads after thinking deeply for a few breaths.
They are military generals, and it can be said that they deal with saddles every day.
Just the saddles worn out under the crotch, I don’t know how many there are.
They are too familiar.
But this... is different, really different.
A saddle is a saddle, but this saddle seems a bit irregular.
"I've never seen it before. This saddle seems to be discarded. It looks much heavier than my Tang Dynasty saddle. Such a saddle will definitely not be comfortable on a horse."
"It will also increase the strength of the war horse, resulting in a reduction in explosive power and speed."
Changsun Wuji said thoughtfully.
"Well, that's right."
"The most important thing for war horses is to reduce their weight, so that they can also reduce the wear and tear."
Du Ruhui agreed.
"It seems that His Highness the King of Chu has finally made some mistakes, hahaha... From this point of view, His Highness the King of Chu is not a god, and he is not proficient in everything."
Wei Zheng also laughed.
This saddle is indeed too complicated and too bulky.
The saddle of the Tang Dynasty can be placed directly on the horse's back, but this one is much higher than the saddle of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems to be unstable.
"Well, that's true."
Li Shimin also nodded in agreement.
Li Jing casually dropped the saddle on the ground.
Since it is a waste product, there is no need to look at it again.
It's quite heavy, and it's a little difficult to hold it.
Now.
Everyone was no longer interested in the saddle, and turned their heads to look at the coal pile on the other side.
It's just that the matchmaker seems a bit bad.
"Your Majesty, it's all coal." Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.
"Carbon?!"
Li Shimin was slightly startled. He walked in and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was indeed charcoal.
The coal in the Tang Dynasty was also of the third, sixth or ninth grade.
The best is naturally charcoal.
The worst thing is this charcoal.
Not only is it difficult to burn, but the smoke is also huge.
However, this kind of charcoal was used most by the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Not for anything else, just because it's cheap.
This is much simpler than charcoal.
One pound of charcoal can be replaced by ten pounds of pebbles. This price gap explains everything.
But I never expected that King Chu would actually use charcoal.
No matter how you say it, the King of Chu was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he was so frugal.
But, that's not right either.
The king of Chu was rich.
Richer than the imperial court.
Real wealth can rival a country.
And no matter how you look at it, King Chu is not the kind of person who is willing to wrong himself.
How come...how do you use charcoal?
Don't understand.
I can't understand.
"Your Majesty, no, this charcoal... seems different."
At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly stood on the other side of the charcoal pile and shouted loudly.
no the same?!
Changsun Wuji's shout immediately aroused the curiosity of Li Shimin and others.
Li Shimin hurried over.
Rows of pebbles.
No.
This shape is no longer the shape of charcoal, but has become a cylindrical shape, and there are several holes in the center of this cylindrical charcoal.
Densely packed.
At first glance, it looks like a honeycomb.
"What is this for? This charcoal... just changed its shape, right?!"
Li Shimin rubbed his nose and said.
"But why did His Highness the King of Chu make the charcoal into this shape?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu must have considered this. How about... let's order one and give it a try?"
Changsun Wuji probed.
They have never seen such a shape before.
Too strange.
This is not only because they have never used charcoal, but also because there is no such shape in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Those common people keep fires in winter, even if they use charcoal, they still surround them piece by piece.
"That's fine."
Li Shimin nodded.
What is the use of this charcoal and what is the function of this shape? I believe you can find out just by lighting it and burning it.
Immediately, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the others brought a pile of dry leaves.
This is used to start the fire.
Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde simply made a stove using this honeycomb-shaped charcoal.
Put the leaves underneath.
Fire, burn.
But it seems that there is no picture of coal burning like crazy as they imagined.
cigarette.
It's all smoke.
The thick smoke seemed to fill the entire yard.
"It seems that this is also a failed item designed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Wei Zheng said softly from the side.
