After returning to the mansion, Yun Zheng sat in the backyard and began to think.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Ye Zi approaching.
It wasn't until Ye Zi sat down in front of him that he suddenly reacted.
"What conspiracy are you thinking of to harm others?"
Ye Zi teased.
"I'm really not thinking about how to trick people."
Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "I'm making an important decision, but I'm a little undecided."
Ye Zi was slightly surprised, "You still can't make up your mind?"
“Yes.”
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly, and then told Ye Zi about the important matter he was thinking about.
...
...
He was thinking whether he should present the forging method of patterned steel to Emperor Wen!
This is also the question he has been thinking about since he left the Shen family.
He has realized that the production efficiency is too low if relying on just a few blacksmiths!
He should have received some reward for presenting the forging method to Emperor Wen, but the consequence was that as weapons forged with this material became popular, it would not be good for his future rebellion.
But if he didn't present it as a tribute, it would be impossible for those few blacksmiths to forge weapons sufficient to equip his palace soldiers before he left the imperial city!
He must leave the imperial city within twenty days at the latest.
Even if those blacksmiths worked day and night, they could at best hammer out one knife!
This amount is not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth!
If you want to assemble weapons forged from patterned steel on a large scale, you have to look to the Ministry of Industry!
After listening to Yun Zheng's story, Ye Zi also fell into deep thought.
The problem that Yun Zheng was thinking about was indeed a troublesome one.
No matter what choice you make, there are pros and cons.
"Besides what you said, do you have any other considerations?"
After a moment, Ye Zi looked up and asked.
"There is one more thing."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly. "I don't think Beihuan will return the lost land to our dynasty. Even the exchange of war horses may cause trouble!"
"Before winter comes, there will probably be a war in Shuobei!"
"Even if I don't hand over the method of forging patterned steel, I'm afraid I won't have enough time to recruit craftsmen to forge enough weapons when I get to Shuobei."
"Hand over the forging method of patterned steel. Once a war breaks out in Shuobei, the imperial court should give priority to supporting the Northern Army with some weapons! This will help reduce casualties to some extent."
"Although it is said that the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men, it is still good if fewer people die..."
Having said that, Yun Zheng sighed again.
Although the Virgin Mary is killed first in troubled times, people should not be too cold-blooded.
Being too cold-blooded becomes a pervert!
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, a strange look flashed in Ye Zi's eyes.
She thought that Yun Zheng, who had already made up his mind to rebel, didn't care about the lives of those soldiers at all!
I didn't expect that he could say such words.
"I support you in handing over the forging method to His Majesty!"
Ye Zi said solemnly: "No matter what happens in the future, at least now, these people will be your brothers! If you can control the Northern Army, isn't it equivalent to the court helping you forge weapons?"
Um?
Yun Zheng was slightly stunned.
After a brief contemplation, Yun Zheng suddenly understood.
"Why didn't I think of that?"
Yun Zheng looked at Ye Zi excitedly.
Suddenly, he had the urge to hug Ye Zi and kiss her.
Facing Yun Zheng's strange gaze, Ye Zi's pretty face felt inexplicably hot.
"I'm just saying this. It's up to you to decide."
Ye Zi stood up and said, "I'm tired after a day's work. I'm going to take a rest!"
After saying that, Ye Zi ran away, feeling ashamed and angry in her heart.
This despicable bastard!
I am becoming more and more unbridled towards myself.
Doesn't he care about his special status at all?
This audacious bastard!
Shameless!
Ye Zi kept cursing in her heart, but her face was getting hotter and hotter.
…
The morning meeting two days later.
Just as Emperor Wen was about to dismiss the court, the palace guard came hurriedly to report that Yun Zheng had entered the palace to meet the emperor, but was stopped by the palace guards.
"Why stop him?"
Emperor Wen frowned slightly and said sternly, "Who gave the palace guards the courage to stop Lao Liu?"
The guards in front of the palace quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it's not that the palace guards are deliberately making things difficult for you. It's just that the Sixth Prince is carrying a knife, so the palace guards dare not let him in! The palace guards asked the Sixth Prince to take off the knife, but the Sixth Prince refused to hand it over, saying that he wanted to present it to Your Majesty..."
Entering the palace with a knife?
This is a big taboo!
Hearing the words of the guards in front of the palace, Yun Li, who had just recovered from his injuries, almost jumped out and said that Yun Zheng was not the one.
Fortunately, Xu Shifu stopped him with a look.
Yun Li stopped talking, but the fourth brother Yun Ting immediately jumped out: "Father, my sixth brother entered the palace with a knife. This is challenging the rules of the palace. To put it in a broader sense, this is tantamount to..."
Yun Ting had just said half of his words when he noticed that Emperor Wen's expression was not right.
Yun Ting choked slightly and quickly swallowed back the rest of his words.
"That's tantamount to treason, isn't it?"
Emperor Wen looked at Yun Ting coldly, then grabbed a few memorials and threw them at Yun Ting, roaring, "In this imperial palace, with the powerless appearance of Old Six, can you really assassinate me? You feel uncomfortable if you don't sow discord for a day, right?"
"Your son... Your son is not trying to sow discord, I'm just afraid... afraid of breaking the rules!"
Yun Ting knelt down with a plop and buried his head.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Emperor Wen cursed Yun Ting again and waved his hand at the guards in front of the palace, "Bring Lao Liu here! I will see today how he can assassinate me in front of all the civil and military officials!"
After saying this, Emperor Wen glared at Yun Ting again.
Obviously, he said this to Yun Ting.
Looking at Yun Ting like this, Yun Li couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
Luckily he didn't jump out.
Otherwise, he would be the one in trouble now.
Emperor Wen was about to announce the end of the court session, but because of this incident, he asked all the ministers to stay.
Soon, Yun Zheng was brought into the hall.
Looking at the knife in Yun Zheng's hand, the guards in the hall were somewhat nervous.
Emperor Wen deliberately frowned and asked, "Sixth Brother, what do you want to do by entering the palace with a knife?"
"Your son specially presents the precious sword to your father!"
Yun Zheng held up the sword in his hands with both hands. "Before, with the permission of the emperor, I set up a blacksmith shop to experiment with forging fine steel. Now, the fine steel is ready. I have someone use this fine steel to forge an indestructible sword. I would like to invite the emperor to take a look at this sword!"
"oh?"
Emperor Wen suddenly became interested, "You said this sword is indestructible?"
"right!"
Yun Zheng nodded, "I have already ordered someone to try it. If you don't believe it, you can have someone try it again!"
"good!"
Emperor Wen immediately ordered the palace guards to test the sword in front of all the civil and military officials.
The two guards in front of the palace did not hesitate either, they directly picked up two knives and chopped at each other.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the sword of the guard in front of the palace was chopped into two pieces.
Looking at the piece of knife dropped on the ground, the ministers were horrified. Emperor Wen also stood up suddenly with an excited face.
"Quick, show me the precious sword that Lao Liu presented to me!"
The guards in front of the palace did not dare to neglect and quickly presented the sword respectfully...
