Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 172 Winning the Alchemy Pavilion

This kind of food is cheap on the one hand, and the second is that it can really save emergencies.

Moreover, these grains can also be used as military pay. It was this grain that Chen Yi helped Xibianguan buy last time.

Chen Yi was also very worried that after the next year, there might be no military pay at the western border gate. After all, the beginning of each year was also the most serious time for border uprisings.

The empress didn't think of this, but Chen Yike had to guard against it.

Chen Yi's three-day vacation seems to be very light, but in fact, he has done a lot of things. Chen Yi's Earl's Mansion and the servants who bought it before are all busy.

Yes, the Earl's Mansion, the Empress rewarded Chen Yi with a new Earl's Mansion before, and because Chen Yi had just lived in it not long ago, he had to move before he got used to this house, so Chen Yi was naturally too lazy to move.

So simply put aside the empress's last earl's mansion.

It's just that Chen Yi knew that he had been promoted to Earl now, so there really needed to be a plaque on the door, and it couldn't be the same as before, so that people couldn't find the door.

So when Chen Yi was free, he found someone to make a plaque for the Earl's Mansion and hung it at the door.

Although the size of the yard didn't fit the earl's status, the name was there. Chen Yi himself didn't mind this matter at first, and other people even interrupted it.

Of course, it's not like there are those who want to play Chen Yi, but the book is handed to the empress.

Before Chen Yi came out, the empress scolded the applicants. The empress was very satisfied with Chen Yi's frugality, so why would she encourage Chen Yi to be extravagant?

The empress even wanted to praise Chen Yi as a model, but later thought that Chen Yi was alone.

The other earls, marquises and so on are all family members, and even brothers live together, so there are always a big family, there are all kinds of people, three or forty people.

Naturally, she couldn't learn from someone like Chen Yi, so the empress just publicly criticized the person who handed over the book in the morning.

With the empress as the backing, no one dared to say that the small house where Chen Yi lived was unreasonable.

When they heard the news at that time, many ministers could not understand, what was the person who handed over the papers thinking?People are willing to suffer and live in small houses.

Chen Yi himself didn't mind. You, a speechless minister, have no right to accuse others of their poor living conditions.

This is the dog taking the mouse and meddling in other people's business.

So most of the ministers above the court didn't take these things to heart.

If you want to impeach Chen Yi, you need to find other ways to start from this aspect. It is really a strange thing. It is precisely because of doing this that the minister was squeezed out by other ministers, and he felt that this person had no brains.

Some of these ministers can't understand this, but no matter what, exclusion is certain. This minister can say that after this incident, his official career will come to an end.

So later that minister wanted to cry, but there was no place to cry. He felt that he had found it himself, and no one felt sorry for him.

three days later.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry returned to work, and Chen Yi also started to go to the morning court normally, and returned to the work of making parts as before.

But this time, it wasn't as tiring as before. Chen Yi had already thought of another way, which was to make molds.

Chen Yi called the key parts, split them up for him, and then made them into molds of different sizes.

Some of these molds are real and some are fake, and they are mixed together.

It’s not that fake molds are wasted, is it that the parts of other parts are not considered as the key parts of the main body, so those neighbors can also be used.

Chen Yi just wanted to keep this intellectual property for a longer time by mixing it up like this.

Prevent the stalls of other countries from knowing how to make them, and prevent the advantages of the Great Wu Kingdom from disappearing.

Chen Yi's work became easier, so he naturally had more time to rest, so he was busy with other things. Chen Yi did it in private, quietly, and no one else knew about it.

Chen Yi planned to spend 90 taels to stockpile grain, of which 40 taels were purchased in the imperial capital.

For the rest, Chen Yi sent Gao Jianping, and Lao Gao left the map to buy them elsewhere.

After all, even if it was done quietly, it would be eye-catching to collect so much at once.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Chen Yi did not expect that the one who broke the calm was Master Chen. It had been a long time since Master Chen had left the imperial capital.

Chen Xianshi left for almost a whole month before returning.

After returning, I went to the imperial city and did not find the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

Not only on the top of the mountain, but also at the bottom of the mountain, there are no traces of thousand-year-old snow lotus. After all, many things are not so easy to find, and Master Chen found many reasons.

In the end, he expressed his loyalty and said that he could find another herbal medicine first.

During this period of time, the empress has been very angry because of Chen Xianshi's betrayal, and often suppresses herself.

Chen Xianshi lied to the empress, which means that there is no elixir of immortality in the world. How could the empress not be angry? You almost exploded in anger.

If it wasn't for her status, the empress would have gone crazy long ago if she still had a sliver of reason left.

So the empress listened to what Chen Xianshi lied to her, and those excuses she made, directly recruited the guards and put Chen Xianshi in the prison.

Chen Xianshi was at a loss, completely unaware of what happened.

The empress was afraid of being comforted, so all the information she had investigated and tracked fell in front of Chen Xianshi.

Master Chen Xianshi saw his every move along the way, what he said, the people he met, and the things he did were all recorded on paper, and there was nothing he didn't understand.

Chen Xianshi regretted it very much, he didn't expect his every move to be discovered.

Along the way, Chen Xianshi was still complacent, and was planning how to get out in the future, but as soon as he came back, he suppressed the boss and didn't give him any chance to react every day.

In the Alchemy Pavilion, besides Master Chen, there were other Taoist boys who also knew about this matter.

So the Empress directly announced that everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion would be arrested and put in prison, waiting to be questioned and killed. After doing all this, the Empress seemed disheartened and completely unable to lift her spirits.

Just sitting in the hall in a daze like this, he didn't go to the morning court on the second day of the year.

It's still your father-in-law who said that the Empress was unwell, so she took care of it.

The empress did not want to hide the fact that Chen Xianshi and all the people in the alchemy pavilion were put into prison, nor could she hide it at all. Because of this, all the ministers knew that the empress had been hit.

The reason is that they have an understanding attitude towards the empress not having morning exercises.

After all, it would be fatal to anyone, a collapse that would destroy the three views.

Whoever thought that there was an elixir of immortality, was really the only one who could live forever, and paid so much for each other, which even made the national treasury empty and the entire country politically turbulent.
