Chapter 65                                                             �

The development of things was as Zhou Mengchen expected.

He never had the chance to enter the prince's womb again. The errands of sending ice or even making ice are not Zhou Mengchen anymore.

It is because Zhou Mengchen did not regard any secret ice making techniques as rare things.

After all, in Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this is all common sense. Even a series of ice-making processes are formulated in the Chu Palace, which are adapted to local conditions and modified according to the needs of the Chu Palace. It is not a secret method at all. If he has the opportunity to preside over large-scale ice making again in the future, it is not that now one or two thousand kilograms of ice a day, he will definitely carry out a new round of optimization.

However, in this era, people did not understand the causes and consequences, nor did they understand the mystery, so they naturally regarded the steps set by Zhou Mengchen as a golden rule and did not change a single step.

Of course, this kind of mystery of knowledge is not without benefits for Zhou Mengchen.

At least, these people admired Zhou Mengchen very much. Zhou Mengchen gave these specific ice making matters to the servants of the Chu King's Mansion. Zhou Mengchen came to the Chu King's Mansion not to be the director of the workshop.

That is to say, all the so-called secret ice making techniques were handed over to the Chu King's Mansion.

This incident alarmed the King of Wugang.

The King of Wugang personally summoned Zhou Mengchen and asked straight to the point: "Have you passed the secret ice making method to the mansion?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "What's the point of being a little trick?"

The King of Wugang said, "Yes, you are so generous, the prince's mansion cannot express anything. Say, what do you want to ask the prince? Let me listen. Maybe I can do it for you?"

Sure enough, King Wugang didn't believe it too much, the so-called act of repaying kindness.

Zhou Mengchen's heart moved and he wanted to express his thoughts in an instant.

During this period, after meeting several times, he also felt that the King of Wugang was one of the few wonderful people in the royal family.

You can't say good people or bad people. This person is obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and he takes other things lightly. He doesn't care much about fame and fortune, probably because the fame and fortune of the Ming Dynasty royal family is brought from the fetus. There are those that come down, and there will be one for life, and there will be nothing they have when they are born, and no matter how much they fight.

King Wugang said this and it was really possible that he would help Zhou Mengchen.

Moreover, Zhou Mengchen's actions have now entered a dead end and I don't know how to continue.

But he thought for a while, and finally said, "It is already an honor to be able to use the small power to benefit the royal palace. How dare you repay me?"

The King of Wugang may or may not help. However, Zhou Mengchen cannot place Miss Li's life on the uncertainty of human nature.

The King of Wugang said, "You-----" He seemed to think that Zhou Mengchen was a little cunning. Many times, letting others owe it is much better than the two sides' wealth and goods. The King of Wugang said, "What's going on now when the prince's mansion owes this favor, perhaps it can be used to save his life in the future. The King of Wugang said, "How are the water methods now?"

Zhou Mengchen's heart sank slightly and said, "It will be completed in half a month."

This is something he has been anxious and unable to do. He will leave in half a month. But now there is no way.

The King of Wugang said, "Okay, take me to see."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Please, please."

Zhou Mengchen took King Wugang to see the water method of two gardens in the east and west.

Zhou Mengchen looked at the East Garden, and his hands and feet were touching. On this rockery, he should be able to look at the things in the prince's palace. It can even be said that one of the commanding heights of the entire Chu Prince's Mansion. However, after the completion, Zhou Mengchen did not have the chance to go up once. After all, after he got into the prince's uterus, the old prince's father rectified the people in the prince's uterus.

So, where is this rockery placed, but people are watching it in several directions. First, there is no way to climb, and second, it is very eye-catching when you go up.

King Wugang did not care about the water method of the east and west gardens.

What he cares most about is the water method in the back garden, and it is also the biggest water method.

Zhou Mengchen pointed to the pond that has been dug and said, "The pipeline below has been laid and the final finishing project is still underway. After the details below are arranged, water can be released. At that time, a waterfall will be formed on the rockery, and in the pond, there will be koi and cranes spraying water, and the two will be reflected in each other."

King Wugang looked at the fountain design and nodded slightly. Although there is no water now, the general outline is already there.

The King of Wugang said: "How about Tianlun Pavilion?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Prince, please."

Just a few steps away, the King of Wugang saw a pavilion made of big bamboo, and there seemed to be no wooden strip. Even the top tiles seemed to be bamboo slices drawn from the middle.

Zhou Mengchen said: "The bamboos are already open here. In summer, you can open the valve and let the water flow back to the top in the middle of the bamboo, and then flow out from both sides. This forms a rain curtain on three sides. No matter how hot the weather is, it will definitely be cool for the summer."

Sometimes Zhou Mengchen admires the skills of ancient craftsmen.

Zhou Mengchen only proposed an idea for this design. After all, Zhou Mengchen did what he came to Chu Prince's Mansion. He knew that this water method project was just a concealment project. Zhou Mengchen could not say that he did not pay attention to it. After all, this matter must be explained.

It can't be too bad.

But Zhou Mengchen didn't take it much.

So Zhou Mengchen did not participate in many details. Zhou Mengchen never expected that these craftsmen could build this pavilion with just bamboo. What was even more incredible is that the pavilion was almost soaked in water, and no means could be used to make it almost impossible to leak.

It really made Zhou Mengchen amazed.

The King of Wugang was also very satisfied with this. He said, "No, this pavilion is especially good." He sighed slightly and said, "You are also my own family in my mansion. I won't hide some things from you, and the family is unfortunate."

King Wugang has not failed to investigate Zhou Mengchen's background these days. The influence of the Chu Palace in Wuchang City is in all aspects. It is difficult to investigate one person. It is just that some things exist between a few people, and this idea is not stolen - high-tech like listening instruments, so naturally they cannot be found out.

He found out that there were not many things, but it also made King Wugang decide to win over Zhou Mengchen.

Nothing else, Zhou Mengchen lived in Wuchang for generations, and was relatively reliable in the eyes of King Wugang. He was a senior and a disciple of Shangshu Liu, and had a certain identity in the Shilin. He was worthy of winning over the Chu Palace.

It is not that the Chu Prince's Mansion was a ill-gotten plot. But many people felt this. The future of the Ming Dynasty was the future of literati and officials, whether it was a vassal king or a nobleman. Even if he could gain the upper hand for a while, he would not have any good ending in the future.

Therefore, the Fengcheng Hou Mansion will train the next generation of literati doctors. The Lu family, which is in full swing, is also handing over various literati doctors.

Some knowledgeable people among the vassal kings were also doing this. The behavior of King Wugang was not an exception. The most famous one should be Zheng Fan Zhu Zai-kun, a great scientist who was renamed in history. He is now ten years old. The reason why he has achieved historical achievements is that he has his own talent and wisdom and has a family background. Since his grandfather, Zheng Fan has been taking this path.

The King of Wugang did not want to hide it from Zhou Mengchen, it was nothing else. Any confidentiality was limited. What a secret matter was that Emperor Wu of Han had hidden a sweet girl in the golden house, but it became a night talk among the people in Chang'an City within a few more than ten years. Even if the King of Wugang wanted to hide it, he could hide it for a few years. It was probably within a few years that what happened a few days ago could be spread.

But compared to the King of Chu and his son, King Wugang still had some literati and official hearts. When he thought of what happened that day, he felt his face turned red, and sighed and said, "The family was unfortunate." He really couldn't say it.

But he didn't know that Zhou Mengchen's heart was hoarse when he heard him talk about what happened that day. However, he didn't expect that he would make a sharp turn and continued, "It's really hard to say. In short, you know that the King of Chu and His Highness are a little unhappy. I thought about it all over and over again, you were right, and there was nothing that could not be overcome between father and son."

"I'm going to invite the two of them to come over under the name of building this Tianlun Pavilion, have a drink, and say something well, and this matter will be over."

When Zhou Mengchen heard this, he felt a sneer in his heart and said to himself: "So many people died. Two people passed by one meal of wine." Although he didn't know how many people were implicated in this matter, he was sure that several of the people in the cemetery died of untimely death.

Just think about it and know what they died from.

It seems that they are all cats and dogs, and they are just victims of the fighting spirit between father and son. They are not worth mentioning at all.

But Zhou Mengchen thought in his heart and said, "The prince is wise."

The King of Wugang said, "What a clever or not? As long as you can get through everything, you will be Amitabha. Sometimes you are really deaf and dumb, and it is hard to be a family member. You can't make any mistakes at your pavilion. Then I will ask you to toast a glass of water and wine. It is also a reward for your credit."

Zhou Mengchen sneered in his heart.

But the treatment of King Wugang is indeed worthy of merit.

After all, ancient people had different identities, and not everyone was qualified to have a glass of wine with the prince. But for Zhou Mengchen, these were not needed. In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this was the time deadline for King Wugang for himself.

It was his last time in the Chu Palace until the Tianlun Banquet.
