Xi Rong brought the two people into the palace, but before they were taken to her palace, they were invited over by the emperor's men.
Not only the emperor was present at this moment, but there were also several ministers discussing matters in the study.
After the three people came in, the emperor did not let them out.
I deliberately let these people perform today.
The ministers actually didn't want to go out and were curious about what these three people were doing there.
Shi Qingluo and the other two saluted to the emperor first.
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Stand up!"
He had known that Shi Qingluo was going to offer a prescription, but he smiled and asked, "I heard you're going to offer a prescription again?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and replied, "Your Majesty is wise. You saw it as soon as I arrived."
The emperor laughed, "You are such a good talker."
Shi Qingluo took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve and handed them to the chief eunuch, "This is the prescription I want to present to you, Your Majesty, please take a look!"
The emperor took the recipe and took a look at it. It contained detailed methods for making colored glaze.
There are also some drawings, manufacturing methods and suggestions for making things at the end.
The emperor asked curiously, "What is this dressing mirror?"
Shi Qingluo replied, "Nowadays, everyone uses bronze mirrors, so the reflection of people is not very clear, but the colored glaze on this recipe of mine will be very clear and bright."
"So it can be used to make mirrors. The front is made of special colored glass and the back is sealed, so that people can be clearly reflected."
"A dressing mirror can be made to be almost as tall as a person, so that the whole person can be reflected and it will be clear at a glance whether the clothes and accessories are well matched."
She was really not used to using bronze mirrors, so she missed mirrors and dressing mirrors.
Therefore, on the back page of paper, I wrote down how these two things were made.
The emperor understood after hearing this, "Is there such colored glaze?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty has asked the craftsmen to try making more. They will definitely be able to make it."
The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let them build it."
He stroked the recipe and asked with a smile: "This glass recipe is a good thing. Do you want any reward?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and replied, "It is our honor to work for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please give us a reward as you see fit."
The ministers who were watching from the side: “…” It was the first time they heard such fresh and unconventional words of reward.
The emperor was also somewhat amused and said, "You little girl."
He seemed to be thinking, and after a moment he said: "The Liuli recipe is very important, and Shi Qingluo, you have made an indelible contribution."
"I will now confer upon your mother-in-law the title of Nanxi Township Lady."
Then he added meaningfully: "This is higher than the status of a general's wife."
This was the reward that Shi Qingluo had requested, but it was agreed today that she didn't have to ask for it, and he, the emperor, would take the initiative to bestow the reward.
This is mainly done for King Jin to see.
Otherwise, based on Shi Qingluo Xianfang's achievements, he wanted to confer the title of County Lady on her.
But if she were to be conferred the title of county lord, the previously agreed upon reasons for betrayal would no longer apply.
When Qing Luo comes back from the northern border and presents her with some prescription or something, he will confer the title of county lord on her.
He remembered all her achievements and contributions.
Shi Qingluo first showed a surprised expression, then bowed to Xiao Hanzheng, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the honor!"
This reward made several ministers present a little confused.
Was the emperor being a bit stingy? Instead of rewarding Shi Qingluo for offering the recipe, he made her mother-in-law a county lady.
The title of Xiangjun sounds nice, but in fact it has no real power.
Judging from what the emperor said, it seemed that he thought that this reward would make Xiao Hanzheng and his wife happy. After all, it highlighted that her status was higher than that of the general's wife.
Is this to help Shi Qingluo's mother-in-law and slap General Xiao's wife in the face? But this reward always feels not as good as the merits of the previous iron donation and the current glass donation.
And even if there is a reward, it should be given to Shi Qingluo, right? Of course, although they thought so in their hearts, they would definitely not say it out loud.
Among them there are two ministers who are Prince Jin's men, and they are hoping that the emperor will make a stupid move to make Shi Qingluo unhappy.
They looked at Shi Qingluo and felt that her smile seemed a little forced.
After conferring the reward, the emperor let Shi Qingluo and the other two leave first.
After everyone left, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.
He talked about the affairs of the northern border to the few ministers who remained.
He looked like he had a headache and said he wanted to send someone to the northern border, but he had not yet decided on the candidate.
So someone suggested that the top three students of this year's special examination be sent directly to the northern border for training.
Another person also agreed and listed a lot of advantages.
When the emperor heard the two men's proposal, he became furious.
Because these two are on the list given by Zhuo Jun.
The same thing Hezhuo Jun said, they would take the initiative to get Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to the Northern Frontier.
Regardless of whether Zhuo Jun truly surrendered or pretended to surrender, it is certain that these two people are King Jin's men.
The emperor was furious inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
"What you said does make some sense."
Seeing that there was hope, the two men immediately began to lobby the emperor.
The other two ministers felt something was wrong.
It would not matter if the other two of the three people in the first class went, but if Xiao Hanzheng went, Qing Luo would definitely go with him.
Will King Jin target me?
So they stood up and objected.
The four of them soon started arguing.
The emperor waited for them to finish arguing before saying, "I will consider this matter again."
The four of them didn't dare to say anything else, so they retreated.
Then the news that Shi Qingluo came to the palace to offer the recipe for glass spread.
Everyone who heard the news was shocked. They really didn't expect that Shi Qingluo even had the recipe for Liuli.
If colored glaze were produced, it would definitely bring huge profits.
Many big families began to envy the emperor. It seemed that the emperor's private treasury would be much larger.
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War were the happiest.
If the emperor had money, they would have less worries. Now money is needed everywhere and the Minister of Revenue is losing his hair every day.
The Minister of War was so anxious that his mouth was blistered. King Jin and the Kingdom of Ge in the northern border were eyeing him covetously, but the frontier army had a lot of weapons and equipment to replace, and food and fodder also had to be prepared in advance. He had to go to the Minister of Revenue every day to ask for money.
With money, these things will be easier.
The next day, the emperor brought the matter directly to the court.
When they heard someone suggest that the emperor send all three members of the first class to the northern border, Xi Xinheng and his companions couldn't help but secretly curse the person for coming up with such a bad idea.
Is it so easy to go to Northern Xinjiang? That's King Jin's territory.
Especially now that the situation in northern Xinjiang is so tense, maybe it would be fine if other people went there.
But if Xiao Hanzheng and his wife go, will they not be targeted by King Jin? If they were King Jin, they would also have to target and win over Xiao Hanzheng and his wife! Xi Xinheng immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to send three people to the northern border."
Liang Mingcheng also hurriedly agreed, "Xiao Hanzheng and the other two have no experience in governance at all. I also think this is inappropriate."
Neither of the old men from either family came today. They were being lazy again.
Old Master Fei from the Fei family came, so he immediately came out to object.
Old Master Qi came today. Thinking about the fact that his grandson and Shi Qingluo were now on good terms, he thought about it and decided to stand up and oppose.
As a result, many people in the court opposed it.
But there was still one-third of the people who still insisted on letting Xiao Hanzheng and the other two go.
There were also a few neutral people who did not express their opinions.
The emperor also had a rough idea in his mind.
Sorry, I'm stuck in writing, so I've only written one chapter now, and it's over time. I'll sort out the plot, and the remaining three chapters will be at 17:30~ (End of this chapter)
