He took out another stack of papers and said, "This is Rong Dalang's cooking skills. Your Majesty can hand it over to the imperial chef."
All the iron pots in the palace were replaced with thin pots. The emperor had always been obsessed with the delicious food in Rong's house, and now he was extremely happy to see the cooking recipe.
"Rong Dalang really pleases me!"
At the time of Shen, the emperor kept Qin Ke in the palace to have dinner with him. Qin Ke felt nothing when seeing the royal delicacies in front of him.
He was used to the food cooked by Rong Dalang, and the food before him tasted like chewing wax.
After the meal, Qin Ke was about to leave the palace and return home, but he found that the emperor was pretending to be unhappy.
"Qin Sizhi, did you forget something?"
He was hinting at something. Qin Ke looked serious and said in all seriousness, "There is only one telescope. I need to find someone to make more in secret. Without a real object to compare with, the craftsmen can't make it. Does your majesty think that all the craftsmen in Wei are Rong Dalang?"
The emperor was choked by his words, but instead of getting angry, he laughed and said teasingly: "I have never seen you praise someone so highly, which shows that Rong Dalang is quite extraordinary. I have to think about what kind of reward to give him."
At the court meeting the next day, the emperor mentioned the contributions of the Mengshan craftsmen and expressed his commendation.
"Rong Qing."
Minister Rong, who was holding his hu tablet with his head bowed, was suddenly called and immediately stepped out of the line to salute, "I am your humble servant."
"Have you heard about the many new devices at Mengshan?"
The emperor asked for no reason, and Minister Rong felt uneasy. He said honestly, "Your Majesty, I have heard something."
"Rong Qing, do you know that these artifacts were all made by Rong's son?" He smiled meaningfully, "Rong Qing gave birth to a good son!"
When the emperor praised his son again, Minister Rong was no longer confused, but shocked.
It's not that he couldn't understand what people were saying, but what the emperor said was beyond his comprehension and made him almost speechless.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind to praise me. It is nothing but a strange trick that is not worthy of being displayed in a noble hall." He blurted out in shock.
The palace was completely quiet.
Did Minister Rong get kicked in the head by a donkey? The Majesty's intention was so obvious, yet he actually refuted the Majesty in public! What's more, the emperor was praising his own son.
"What a trick!" Cheng Hao was so angry that he jumped out and shouted, "Minister Rong, do you know how important iron smelting is to our Great Wei? Do you know that glass can benefit future generations? Rong Dalang has a talent, but you think he is not up to the standard. This really makes this humble official extremely sad and regretful!"
Minister Rong: “…” What did I just say?
With a plop, he knelt on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground, and trembled like a sieve.
