Chapter 73: Talk to each other

Ruizong thought that the Taiping Gong was the main problem, so he asked awkwardly: "Little sister, what are you doing?"

This question is exactly what everyone is asking, including Li Longji, nodding in secret.

Princess Taiping smiled: "Fifth brother, my sister thinks that the current court is in a poor manner, and the prime ministers are bullying others with their power and suppressing officials. So isn't the lives of the people even more difficult? So, my sister thinks that Chen Que would shock them. The Chang'an Order is incompetent and cannot intimidate all officials. Chen Que is the Central Secretariat Order, and also the Chang'an Order, and rectify it well."

What official is the best? The emperor is far away! What official is the most difficult? Since ancient times, it is difficult to be an official in Beijing! It is not that the Chang'an Order does not want to do things, but that he dares not do things, because there are many high-ranking officials in Chang'an, and he can't afford to pick up any one of them, so he can only turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang'an Order burst into cold sweat on his forehead and knelt on the ground to apologize: "Your Majesty, I know the crime, I know the crime!"

In such a big event, the Chang'an Order could not escape his responsibility, and it was inevitable to punish him. Princess Taiping's words were exactly the same as Ruizong's intention, so he said happily: "Then according to what my sister said, Chen Que will be the Minister of the Central Committee, and the Chang'an Order, and purify the Chang'an Order. As for the Chang'an Order, it will be handed over to the prince to give it to him."

Although Chen Que's talent is not as strong as Yao Chong and others, he is not inferior to Yao Chong and others. When he heard that he was coming to purify the order in Chang'an, all the ministers were shocked, especially those ministers who had done bad things, and they were even more fifteen buckets to fetch water in their hearts, which made it difficult for a moment to calm down.

However, Ruizong has issued an order, who dares not to obey?

"Xuan Chenqie!" Ruizong waved his hand.

Chen Wanrong then realized that Chen Que was not in the main hall, and today it was a dynasty, why didn’t he come? Not only Chen Wanrong was surprised, but who was not surprised by the ministers?

After the order was over, the sound of footsteps sounded. Chen Qie wore an official robe and held a jade scepter in his hand and walked in: "I met the emperor."

Ruizong waved his hand: "Chen Qing, don't be polite! Chen Qing, from now on, you will be the Secretary of the Central Committee. At the same time, you will also be the Chang'an Order and purify the rules and regulations."

Chen Que was not surprised at all, and he received the order and said, "I obey the order!"

Last night, Ruizong summoned Chen Que to the palace overnight and decided to appoint Chen Que as the Zhongshu Ling. Chen Que is Li Longji's person, so Li Longji naturally has no problem. The father and son are one mind. Regardless of whether Princess Taiping agrees or not, Chen Que's Zhongshu Ling has made the final decision.

The reason why Emperor Ruizong asked Chen Que to be the Zhongshu Ling was to sound the alarm for Princess Taiping: "No matter what you do, it doesn't matter, what's important is that I have to take control of my achievements."

The only unexpected thing is that Princess Taiping actually recommended Chen Que, which is too unexpected.

"Sanqian!" There was no dispute that Ruizong had expected in the morning court, and everything went well, far better than his expectations. I was really happy, and the sound of the sanqian was filled with joy.

The ministers took the order and dispersed. As soon as they left the hall, a large group of people surrounded Chen Wanrong. They all smiled kindly and flattered. They said some words of decisiveness. Chen Wanrong was so busy that he had to go around and took a lot of talk to deal with it.

As long as it is not a blind man, it can be seen that Ruizong cared about Chen Wanrong and Princess Taiping was very encouraging to him. As for Li Longji, the relationship with Chen Wanrong has long been spreading. Can the ministers not take this opportunity to curry favor with him?

Even Xiao Zhizhong and Dou Huaizhen also said a few intimate words before they went to do business.

After dealing with the ministers, Chen Wanrong stepped out and gathered Yang Sixu to prepare to go to the military weapon supervision. Today should be the day for Ye Tianheng to cast. If Chen Wanrong, the "project leader", would not be reasonable, it would be.

"Mr. Chen, please stay!" A loud voice sounded.

Chen Wanrong turned his head and saw that it was Princess Taiping's coachman Ye Liu. He rushed over and said, "Brother Ye, do you have something important?"

Ye Liuyi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, the princess is welcome."

No matter what, Chen Wanrong could not have expected that Princess Taiping would ask him to go over at this time, but she could not refuse, so she had to follow Ye Liu. Princess Taiping's ceremonial guard was not far ahead. Princess Taiping was standing in front of the car and looking at Chen Wanrong. Seeing Chen Wanrong coming, she smiled and said, "Wanrong, come quickly!"

"See the princess!" Chen Wanrong stepped forward to salute.

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "How many vain gifts are there! What has that dog thing Cui Shi ruined your mansion? I'll go and take a look."

It was a great honor for her to come, and many ministers dreamed of it. However, Chen Wanrong was thinking about making things happen and said, "Princess, I am about to go to the military weapon supervision."

Princess Taiping waved her hand and said generously: "Don't worry, if you don't go for a day, you won't be able to make a mistake. Okay, I'll send someone to send a message and say you won't go today and ask them what they should do."

Now that things have come to this point, I can't even push it away. Chen Wanrong had no choice but to say, "Thank you Princess."

"Okay, get on the car!" Princess Taiping boarded the shaft and waved to Chen Wanrong.

It is certainly a great honor to ride with Princess Taiping, but Chen Wanrong didn't want this honor and said, "Princess, I'm still convenient to ride a horse."

Princess Taiping smiled: "Wanrong, you have to know that there are many people who want to ride with this princess but are unavailable. You actually disdain. Do you look down on this princess?"

Although these words are too joking, they are too heavy. Chen Wanrong had no choice but to say, "I obey the order." After getting on the shaft and entering the car, he saw that the car was extremely luxurious, with many gold, silver and jade wares, and various rare fruits.

Princess Taiping sat down, Chen Wanrong sat opposite her, and the sound of cars was shaking, and drove towards Chen Wanrong's mansion.

"Wanrong, are you wondering why I want to go to your house?" asked Princess Taiping.

Chen Wanrong directly admitted: "It is my honor to be with a princess with a thousand gold body to be with her family. However, the princess is busy with official duties and goes to her family, but she really can't figure it out."

Princess Taiping nodded slightly and said, "You have doubts, it's normal. Let's just say that there are three main reasons why I go to your house: one is to see Master Sima. Master Sima is really. I have spent so much effort to invite him, but he couldn't stay there after staying in my place for a few days. It's a ten-day stay for you. I want to see what's in your house that fascinates him so much."

She attaches great importance to Sima Chengzhen. It is normal for her to see Sima Chengzhen. Chen Wanrong believes that what she is telling the truth and explains her doubts: "The princess doesn't know. Taoist Master has been fascinated by something for a while."

"What?" Princess Taiping asked hurriedly.

Chen Wanrong explained: "The Taoist Master is busy preparing perfume. Perfume is the essence oil I extracted from the flowers. After mixing, you can get the fragrance you want. Apply it on your body and the fragrance will not dissipate for a long time, which is much more convenient than using spices."

It is very troublesome to use spices. If you want to have a fragrance on your body, you have to use spices to smoke it. Not to mention the time it takes, it is quite troublesome, so how can you be as convenient as perfume?

Knowing that the Taiping Guild asked, Chen Wanrong explained the use of perfume first. Despite this, Princess Taiping became very interested and asked: "Oh, there is such a good thing in the world, I must see it."

Chen Wanrong said humbly: "I'm afraid the princess has a high vision and doesn't like it."

Princess Taiping shook her head: "What can make the Taoist priest so fascinated by it must be extraordinary. It seems that I went to your mansion today. Did the Taoist priest match it?"

"Don't worry, with the talent of Taoist priest, it is just a trivial matter to match perfume. The perfume that Taoist priest will definitely be very popular and will make people feel out of the world." Chen Wanrong hurriedly replied.

Princess Taiping said excitedly: "That's good, that's good! I must see it! Secondly, I just want to go to your mansion to have a walk. Your mansion is a secret residence, where the fifth brother used to live, and I have a good relationship with my fifth brother and I always live there. I wonder if you have ever moved my residence?"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, the places where the emperor, princess, princesses, golden fairy princess, and princess Yuzhen lived remained the same."

Princess Taiping was both happy and curious, and asked, "Wanrong, there is a dragon energy in the place where the emperor lived. How many people want to get involved? Why don't you stay in?"

Chen Wanrong spread his hands and said to the truth: "The princess doesn't know anything. I don't have this intention. I just want to live a stable life. As for promotion, I'm not interested. It's better not to be so angry."

Princess Taiping was a little disbelief and looked at Chen Wanrong: "Wanrong, don't lie. If you lie, I can see."

"The princess doesn't believe it, so he can go to see it when he gets home. Besides, Niu Shangxin, Wu and others can testify. If I stayed in the emperor's room for half an hour, I will let the princess deal with it." Chen Wanrong was very serious.

Princess Taiping nodded and said, "I believe what you are saying is true. If you don't want to make achievements, why do you have to build artillery? Once this artillery is launched, you can't do it or not, and you can't push it away even if you want to."

Chen Wanrong smiled faintly and said, "Princess, the reason I built artillery is to kill less soldiers. On that day, in the palace, I accidentally saw the model made by Wang Zhongsi. I realized that the danger of Shibao City was far beyond my imagination. If there were no better weapons, it would be possible that more than 100,000 soldiers would die. If I built artillery and killed less soldiers, I would feel better!"

Princess Taiping had no doubt about the power of the cannon. She looked at Chen Wanrong for a while and nodded, "Wanrong, I believe what you said is true."

What Chen Wanrong said is indeed true. Chen Wanrong only wants to do chemical engineering and let chemical engineering take root in the Tang Dynasty. As for achievements, fame and fortune, Chen Wanrong had no idea. He originally thought that with Li Longji's shrewdness, it was not difficult to capture Shibao City. It was not until he saw the model made by Wang Zhongsi that he knew that Shibao City was difficult to capture with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he was shot, he didn't know how many soldiers would die, so he decided to build artillery and do his best.

Chen Wanrong said very seriously: "Princess, what I said is true!"

Princess Taiping sighed and said, "Compared with Wanrong, I am a little ashamed! I originally wanted to use some means to prevent you from building artillery. Even if you want to build it, you have to build it under my presidency. Today, I feel ashamed of what you say!"

She also had the ambition to do something, not only to ascend the throne, but also to expand her territory. It is best to be able to catch up with Emperor Taizong of Tang. Therefore, this soldier was particularly important in her eyes. She could not accept the death to one hundred thousand or eighty thousand more, so she felt that she had such sighs.

Chen Wanrong naturally understood what she meant, and he didn't want to give the credit to Li Longji, so that Li Longji could strengthen his power. This was a very secret matter, and she could tell it, which showed that she did not treat Chen Wanrong as an outsider, and was a little surprised: "The princess is so serious, I dare not take it!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Princess Taiping's face smiled more: "I'm very happy now, because there is another good minister who is dedicated to the people in the Tang Dynasty, which is gratifying."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Princess, you have been awarded. I just want to do as much as I can. I can't say I'm going to do it all the time. Besides, I want to finish this matter early and do chemical engineering wholeheartedly to make more money."

Princess Taiping was stunned, looked at Chen Wanrong, and laughed happily: "Careful, sweet! Wanrong, you are such a lovely person! Even if what you said is true, it would be rare. Xian Gao but Qin Jian, save your homeland, you are Xian Gao of the present!"

Xian Gao was a businessman in Zheng State during the Spring and Autumn Period. He accidentally got news that Qin State sent troops to attack Zheng State. While sending people to report Zheng State, he tried to retreat to the enemy. He thought of a way, which was to reward Qin soldiers, saying that he was on the order of Zheng State. The general of Qin State thought that Zheng State had already known about it, so he could not fight this battle, so he had to withdraw his troops.

This is a good story in Chinese history!

Chen Wanrong's wish was Chen Wanrong. If the Tang Dynasty had difficulties and he had to work hard, he would definitely not hesitate. Princess Taiping praised Chen Wanrong with this, which was very thoughtful.

After laughing, Princess Taiping continued, "That's the third one. I now look at you differently and think you are a talented person. Would you like to do things for me?"

When doing chemical engineering, Chen Wanrong is definitely a talent among talents, and he is not a good match for governing the country and pacifying the world.

This is pulling Chen Wanrong in a cage. It is not easy to refuse. If he doesn't refuse, he is pushing himself to the edge of the knife. Princess Taiping's defeat is a trend that no one can recover. How could Chen Wanrong do her job for her?

Fortunately, Chen Wanrong was flexible and smiled and said, "I am honored by the princess. But the princess knows that I have no intention of being an official, and I have no talent for being an official. The princess is a great talent who governs the country and pacifies the world. How dare I climb up?"

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stared at Chen Wanrong. Chen Wanrong knew that the critical moment had come, and she looked calm and let the Duke Taiping watch.

"You have to know that as long as I say, you have whatever you want. If you annoy me, it will not be difficult for me to kill you." Princess Taiping began to threaten Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong still looked like a young man, and smiled faintly, "The princess is not that kind of person! The princess is a person who wants to do big things. How could it make things difficult for me like someone who is dispensable in the overall situation? If the princess makes things difficult for me, isn't it the best time to go to court this morning? Even such a good opportunity, the princess gave up, so I think the princess won't make things difficult for me."

Princess Taiping smiled and laughed happily: "Wanrong, you were wrong, you were outrageously wrong! Yes, with your ability, you are still far from threatening me. I don't have other skills, but this method is enough to deal with you. The reason why I don't make it difficult for you today is not that I don't want to, but that the emperor's brother is not sure. You didn't see it, but I saw it. The emperor's brother is determined to protect you. If I keep pestering it, it will embarrass the fifth brother. The fifth brother will definitely be angry with me, so I decided to let go. Do you know why the fifth brother wants to protect you? It's just a matter of artillery. With cannons, the stone castle city can be shot, and then Tubo is no problem, and the fifth brother will be worthy of his ancestors! I can't let the fifth brother regret it!"

This is half true and half false. She saw through Ruizong's intentions. The reason why she let go was because she did not dare to offend Ruizong. Once Ruizong annoys Ruizong, Ruizong will no longer protect her, and it will be difficult for her to defeat Li Longji.

Yang Sixu had already analyzed Ruizong's ideas. Chen Wanrong certainly understood that her words were half true and half false, and smiled and said, "The princess is wise, I admire you!"

Chen Wanrong flattered and wanted to end the matter as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Princess Taiping was in good spirits and said with a smile: "Wanrong, why do you think of you so much?"

In the past, Ruizong was good to Chen Wanrong because Chen Wanrong saved his life. Ruizong was good to everyone and of course better to his savior. Since learning about artillery, Ruizong suddenly discovered that his historical reputation was associated with Chen Wanrong, and it would be impossible to pay attention to Chen Wanrong.

Of course, this matter cannot be said. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Princess, I am ignorant, but I really don't know."

Princess Taiping thought Chen Wanrong really didn't know, so she nodded and said, "It's better if you don't know, so you won't know. Why do I like you?"

Chen Wanrong really didn't know about this, and he smiled and said, "Princess, how could I get into the princess's eyes? The princess is joking."

Princess Taiping said seriously: "You don't know yet. I have sent a message to Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and the others, asking them not to make things difficult for you in the future and to help you."

This is a great thing, but Chen Wanrong was very surprised and was stunned for a moment before thanking him, "Thank you Princess for your kindness."

"There is a reason why I help you. What I like is not your ability to govern the country, but a good tool." Princess Taiping also told the truth: "With your talents, it may be okay to ask you to govern a county. If you want you to stand alone and govern the country, you will definitely not be able to do so."

Chen Wanrong knew it himself and nodded, "The princess is wise! I can't do anything else, I can only do chemical engineering."

"It is precisely because your chemical engineering is very special. Although there are many good craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, no one can surpass you, that I decided to help you." Princess Taiping said with a bright look: "You must know that for a country, talents are not only great talents who govern the country and the world, but also good craftsmen. It is rare to have a talent for governing the country, but also good craftsmen. No matter what happens in the future, good craftsmen are indispensable. You must know at least."

These words are not something that ordinary people can say, and even those wise kings may not know them so well. No matter what purpose she is for, Chen Wanrong admires them so much that she can say these words, and slapped her high-highlights and said, "Princess is wise!"
