[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

Zhaojun said that she didn't help Lu Zhen because she changed her mind. In fact, the main reason why she didn't help Lu Zhen was not this.

Although in her previous life she didn't have much to do with government affairs after handing over the military power to Gao Yan, some news reached her from time to time, especially Lu Zhen, who she was most concerned about at that time.She didn't know what it was like when Lu Zhen took the examination for promotion to a female officer. She only knew that the content of her art examination was reported on an eight-treasure tassel, but what she handed over later was a white porcelain net with a thin neck. bottle.

Porcelain has a long history, but no good porcelain clay can be found on the vast land, and the porcelain industry in Daqi has been declining for a long time.Most of the porcelain is celadon, and the porcelain with a color slightly closer to light blue is the best product when it comes out of the kiln. People who love porcelain all over the world grab it.How Lu Zhen fired white porcelain, the entanglement in it may only be known to her.

But how she fired the white porcelain is not important, the important thing is that the white porcelain clean bottle is bound to become a rare treasure in the world, once mastered the skill of making white porcelain, it is equivalent to holding a piece of porcelain from other countries The lifeblood of the industry.

Qing Qiang was present for everything that happened after that, so Zhao Jun knew all about it.Probably because Wang Xuan still refused to let Lu Zhen go, so she insisted on whether the white porcelain was made by her, and whether it was purely accidental to make the white porcelain, she stiffened her neck and refused to nod.

In the end, the matter was successfully concluded with a high performance.The white porcelain was indeed made by Lu Zhen, and all the palace officials in the pottery kiln can testify to this point. As for whether the firing of the white porcelain was accidental, Gao Yan gave Lu Zhen three days to fire the white porcelain again to prove It is indeed no accident that she fired white porcelain.

Later, when the three-day period came, Lu Zhen handed in a large batch of pure white porcelain. With the first-class porcelain making technology and the pure white color like snow, the asking price of each piece of this batch of porcelain was thousands of gold.

From this point of view, as long as the original state is maintained, it is possible for Lu Zhen to re-fire white porcelain. If white porcelain is obtained, Daqi's porcelain does not need to be purchased from other countries, so that the inner palace can save money every year. If the tens of thousands of taels of gold are added to the private circulation sales, at least several 10 taels of gold can be saved every year.

In the previous life, on the day of Lu Zhen's art examination, Qing Qiang was ordered by Zhaojun to go out of the palace to buy things. I have no way of knowing whether Lu Zhen has found her. What Zhaojun can do now is to try to keep everything as it was in the previous life.

After a restless night, the bronze bell struck three times at Chen Shi the next day, and the female officer promotion examination was officially over.Zhaojun was awakened by the sound in his deep sleep, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep again, so he put on some clothes and got up and stood by the window, staring at the endless night outside in a daze.

A branch of red plum that had been frosted outside the window became more and more charming. The morning of winter always turns bright slowly, but if it were replaced by the morning of summer, it would already be as bright as day.Zhaojun timidly hugged the fox-fur cloak that Gao Huan had given her before and sat on the soft couch, with his slightly thin chin resting on his knees, and stared blankly at a large candle-flame lamp on the table with his legs crossed.

About half an hour later, the night outside the window gradually dissipated, and the white belly of auspicious clouds rolled out of the sky.The maid who got up early took a basin of hot water and squatted under the eaves to wash while breathing white air. Someone knocked lightly on the closed door. Not long after, she saw Lamei in a coat rushing out from under the eaves to open the door.

Standing at the door was the eunuch serving Gao Yan, and behind him were several young eunuchs, shivering from the morning breeze, and the high-end lacquer plates in their hands were all covered with a piece of red silk cloth.According to the eunuch, these are all the test works handed in by the first-class court ladies who participated in the female officer promotion examination this year. In it, they specially recommended a thin-necked white porcelain clean bottle made by Miss Lu Zhen of Qingjing Palace, and A bowl of steaming antler soup.The former is because Gao Yan thinks that Zhaojun has always believed in Buddhism, so he should like the clean bottle; the latter is because Gao Yan thinks that the bowl of deer antler soup tastes really good, which is very suitable for Zhaojun who wakes up in the morning.

Lamei told Zhaojun exactly what she had said, and a slight smile appeared on Zhaojun's face, and all of this was still under her control after all.

After the morning court, Gao Yan hurried all the way to Zhaoyang Palace, his clothes were windy and his steps were hurried.

When Zhaojun raised his head slightly, he saw the anxious expression on his face.His purpose of coming here was similar to Zhaojun's expectation, he came to talk to Zhaojun about the affairs in the court and about Lou's family.It is said that in today's early court, Lou Zhao suddenly dismissed the positions of many descendants of the Lou family, and also handed over all the military power in his hand.

Described in this way, it seems that Lou Zhao is going to retire and return to his hometown.

Zhaojun knew it well, and on the surface he acted as if he was very surprised when he heard it for the first time. After being surprised for a while, he began to explain Gao Yan.It took Gao Yan a whole morning to untie the knot in his heart.He is the emperor, and the general who holds a heavy army and can rebel at any time is a sharp knife hanging above his head. Naturally, he feels uncomfortable, but this sharp knife that makes him uncomfortable is his own uncle, so he can only feel uncomfortable like this with.

Zhaojun told him that Lou Zhao is actually not suitable for going out to fight, because he is too foolish. Maybe one day on the battlefield, he feels that the opponent's general is a hero, and he will happily yearn for him, so that he can fight with the opponent. I can't tell if I eloped...

All of these are her nonsense, she described Lou Zhao as a nerd who admires Wei and Jin character, and it is not easy for this nerd to be a bachelor for so many years, he was also tortured in the military incident with Wei Guo a while ago. He was seriously injured and almost didn't survive.What Zhaojun meant was that an old man like him is no longer good enough, so it's time for him to go home to support the elderly, marry a wife and have a baby or something. ,

It needs to be known that Lou Zhao has never married another wife for so many years since the death of his first wife.The Lou family cannot be broken, and the next thing he should do in the next few days is to have a baby.

Seriously talking about these nonsense things with Gao Yan for a long time, Gao Yan was finally relieved, and after inviting Ann, he hurried back to Renshou Hall. Judging by the appearance of him when he left, he probably looked like Lou Zhao. Once he lets go, he has to deal with many troublesome things, and he is going to deal with those troublesome things.

It has to be said that Gao Yan was indeed very happy when Lou Zhao released his military power.This son, he grew up slowly in a corner she couldn't see.

The next three days passed quietly and quickly, everything went as Zhaojun expected, Lu Zhen opened the pottery kiln in the morning of the third day, and all the top-grade porcelains that were brought out were pure white as snow.Wang Xuan was speechless, Gao Yan decided everything, promoted Lu Zhen to the eighth-rank female official, and went to Si Baosi to take the position of Zhang Zhen.

Usually, the promotion of a court lady starts from the ninth rank, and Lu Zhen was promoted to the eighth rank as soon as she took office. Taste.In this way, everyone in the palace knew the importance of Lu Zhen, and for a while, Lu Zhen's Qingjing Palace was full of scenery.

According to Qing Qiang's dictation, that day she stood with Lu Zhen in the Hall of Renshou to accept Gao Yan's canonization, when she caught sight of Wang Xuan out of the corner of her eye, she felt that her teeth were about to be crushed, probably because she was really angry.

After the canonization incident, it was already November [-]th, and there were only [-] days left before the New Year's Day sacrifice ceremony.Zhaojun shirked the important task of going up to the altar with Gao Yan on the pretext of being unwell, and recommended to the Ministry of Rites that Empress Zhonggong was the most suitable candidate.

This matter was resolved by the Ministry of Rites, and when the list was handed over to Gao Yan, the people kneeling underneath all looked trembling.Gao Yan, who was on the high seat, took the list from Yuan Fu, without any expression on his face, just resting his chest with one hand, flipping through the list casually, without saying yes or no.

Someone below said cautiously, dripping with sweat: "If the emperor is not satisfied with this list, his subordinates can immediately go back and redo it."

He threw the memorial aside, and it landed on the table with a bang.After a long time, he picked up the next memorial, flipped through it casually, and said casually: "Forget it, it's just a list anyway."

Several senior officials and ministers of the Ministry of Rites touched the cold sweat on their foreheads, bowed and retreated as if they were granted an amnesty.

Today's Gao Yan is already worthy of the majesty of the emperor, but his health is not good, and he often can't hide his cough, which seems to damage his image of an emperor.But no matter what, he has such a good appearance there, and he is a king who has a great country at a young age. Naturally, there are many girls who admire him.It is said that Gao Yan is currently the second most desirable ideal partner among the ladies in Yecheng, and Shen Jiayan remains the number one.

Zhaojun felt that the reason why Shen Jiayan was ranked ahead of Gao Yan was because girls in Daqi generally didn't want their husbands to ask for many wives.But obviously it is impossible for Gao Yan not to marry so many wives, even if he doesn't want to marry, his subjects, his country and society will force him to marry.Just like his dad.

Many years ago, Zhaojun once felt that it was impossible for him to embrace his grandson in this life, because Gao Yan was a stubborn person, as long as Xiao Huanyun's shadow remained in his heart, he would not be able to accept other girls.But the fact is really beyond Zhaojun's expectations, Gao Yan not only accepts other girls, but also accepts a one-night sex with other girls.

And this girl is not Lu Zhen!

This matter, going around is a bit complicated, we need to start with Lu Zhen's white porcelain production technology.

Before talking about this matter, I must mention this coincidence. Zhaojun did not want Lu Zhen to spread the white porcelain production technology to the outside world. This idea has not been shared with Qing Qiang. Technology that is owned by oneself should not be passed on to others.

So, at nightfall on the second day after Lu Zhen was promoted to the eighth-rank palm treasure, Qing Qiang hurriedly ran to the Qingjing Hall after finishing the trivial matters at hand.The conversation between her and Lu Zhen was very harmonious, Lu Zhen regarded her as her close friend in her boudoir, Qing Qiang asked a little, and she answered truthfully.

It is said that the porcelain clay for making porcelain contains a lot of iron. If there is too much iron, the fired porcelain will be blue in color, and the less iron content, the whiter the fired porcelain will be.The soil she made for the first time before was the porcelain soil under the osmanthus tree of Concubine Zhou. Concubine Zhou said that the osmanthus tree likes acid, so she often poured the vinegar left over by the maids under the roots of the tree. Over time, the topsoil The iron in the pot melted into the vinegar, which is why she used the porcelain clay from the same place to make porcelain, but only the first time she fired white porcelain.

Qing Qiang listened silently, and joked with her with a smile: "You just told me these secrets, aren't you afraid that I will spread them everywhere?"

Lu Zhen smiled at her, sat next to her with a thick book in her arms, and said: "If the white porcelain technology can be spread, let more people know, and benefit all people, it will be considered a merit."

Therefore, Qing Qiang spent another full hour analyzing the importance of white porcelain production technology with Lu Zhen, as well as the ulterior motives of the people, and she passed it on to the people of Qi State. This kind of technology spread to other countries.At that time, you have me, everyone has it, and white porcelain will not be rare.But Lu Zhen's thoughts are very firm, like a walnut that can't be smashed, Qing Qiang's mouth is parched, and she finally brought it up for a high performance, and then reluctantly told her to suppress it.The general meaning is that if she still regards Gao Yan as a friend and her Qing Qiang as a friend, she should not tell anyone about the white porcelain making technology, otherwise other countries will make white porcelain and use it to make a lot of money. Cai bought soldiers and horses to attack Qi, so what should we do?

Lu Zhen thought for a while, and finally felt that what Qing Qiang said was reasonable, so she patted her chest and made a promise to Qing Qiang.

Before going out, Qing Qiang walked to the door, and Lu Zhen suddenly said: "My lord, actually I..." After hesitating for a moment, it seemed that she had encouraged herself from the bottom of her heart, and then summoned up the courage to continue: "I I have always wanted to ask, did the Empress Dowager have any festivals with Concubine Zhou in the past?"

Qing Qiang turned around slowly to look at her, and slowly put on a gentle smile.

...The sweet-scented osmanthus tree has been poured with vinegar, so there is no iron in the upper soil?

Lu Zhen, after all, you still dug the soil on the side of the tree, so naturally you saw the ring and the letter inside, right?

The author has something to say: ....... The sad Mr. Gu looked at you silently.
