The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 254
A northern tour became the opening scene of the drama of seizing the heirloom.

The emperor didn't know whether it was to show his majesty or something, but when he was in poor health, he decided to take all the princes on a northern tour, but left the eldest prince Shenjun Wang in the capital, and did not designate a supervisor. Instead, all affairs of the DPRK and China are handed over to the cabinet.

King Su lamented in private that the old man just refused to accept his old age and thought he could return to the state of the previous royal conquest.

His Royal Highness Su Wang himself is naturally going to accompany him. Li Zhao is not here, the second son Li Yi, the third son Li Bin, and the fourth son Li Min are accompanying him. Go, Meng Yuyan, Guo Ba and Fang Liu will naturally follow.

Li Zhao was not in the capital, so there was no need for Song Qingyue to follow.She sits in the mansion to look after the house, but there is a family order in the palace, and there are confidant eunuchs around His Royal Highness Su to help with things, so Song Qingyue actually doesn't have much to do for her.

So she asked Su Wang for the token of the secret cave before Su Wang set off, and went to the secret research and development base of His Royal Highness Su Wang a few more times, and developed steam engines with Su Wang's R&D team.

There are two biggest problems in making a steam engine, one is welding, and the other is bearings.

Because the welding technology of iron products is still at the stage of forging and welding, they only used nickel-nickel-nickel copper as the cylinder at the beginning, and welded with nickel powder, but this welding method is too unreliable.

Song Qingyue patted her head for a long time, and suddenly realized that there are no screws these days!It is probably because the mortise and tenon and bolt technology developed by carpenters is so easy to use that the demand for screws has not yet appeared.

So when she mentioned screws and nuts to the masters, she was repeatedly praised by the masters as an engineering genius comparable to Mozi, which made Song Qingyue blush so badly that she waved her hands guiltily, and declined: "Masters, hurry up!" Don’t exaggerate, it’s not my creation, but it’s something I saw others do when I was young, and I suddenly thought of it.”

However, there are no high-hardness drills or CNC machine tools these days, so it is not easy to cast useful screws and nuts.

However, none of these troubled those master craftsmen in ancient times. They could use their hands to compare with CNC machine tools, which made Song Qingyue amazed.

After making a standard screw, you can get the clay mold, and then you can get many screws.

Song Qingyue thought that with the reinforcement of screws, on the basis of screws, thermite reaction could be added for welding.

"aluminum?"

"What is aluminum?"

Song Qingyue patted her head and said: "Ah, I don't know what aluminum is, it's okay, you can use the old method to weld it, and I will refine the aluminum for everyone to see."

The masters became excited again, curious about what Song Qingyue was talking about.

"Well, how should I put it? It's a kind of metal. It looks like silver, but its density is much lower than silver. It's not only light, but also soft. It's easy to form a layer of high-temperature resistant oxide film on the surface. In short, it's a kind of metal. Don't worry about it. Whether it's aluminum or not, let's get the steam engine out first, and the food should be eaten bite by bite." Song Qingyue said.

The masters saw that the concubine Shi Zi didn't know how to explain it, so they nodded and agreed: "The concubine Shi Zi is right! However, it's only the funds. When you go back to the palace, can you mention it to the prince again, this steam engine costs money!"

Everyone rubbed their palms and smiled flatteringly.

Song Qingyue took out two 1 taels of silver bills from her pocket and patted them on the table: "I'll put the money on the table first, and everyone can use it boldly. I'll mention this to the prince when I return home."

"If this thing is successfully manufactured, the concubine will be the one who deserves the most credit!" The masters were happy to see Song Qingyue as a goddess, and she was still a shining golden goddess.

Song Qingyue patted her chest and asked the big guy to go ahead and do it, the money is not enough for her, and at the same time she was muttering in her heart, why is she posting money again...

It's been only two years since she married into the palace, and seeing that the huge dowry is about to bottom out, she is truly the most injustice!If Li Zhao dares to let herself down in the future, she will fight him desperately!
But this incident also reminded her that if she wants to make money, there is actually a way to refine aluminum!Why didn't I think of it before, how stupid!

Electrolytic aluminum should not be difficult, right?
But now there is another problem that she needs to solve urgently: rolling bearings.

In fact, there are rolling bearings in this era, but the structure is different from modern rolling bearings, and the friction is also greater.

Fortunately, Song Qingyue has seen modern bearing structures. The problem lies in the strength of the steel and whether the casting process can meet the requirements.

Facts have proved that as long as the money is in place, the great and wise craftsmen in ancient China can do anything.

They can forge steel arrowheads with perfect angles and shapes, just as they can forge the roller bearing parts that Song Qingyue needs. Although the quality is not as good as the bearings produced by modern industries, after applying lubricating oil, the effect is also better than the traditional bearings in the past. Great progress has been made.

In the end, it took about half a month, and the first steam engine of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born!
The eyes of Song Qingyue and the masters in the cave were almost moist when the steam engine was powered up. The first generation steam engine was relatively small, the horsepower was not strong, and there was air leakage, but these were not problems. Two is three, as long as we continue to improve on this basis, there is nothing that artisans cannot do.

In the future, I will think of ways to enhance the power and reliability of this thing, because the ultimate goal of His Royal Highness King Su is to install the steam engine on a warship.

After Song Qingyue celebrated with everyone, she planned to go back to the mansion early tomorrow morning to report the expenses, and by the way, reimburse the expenses with the patron's father, His Highness King Su, and apply for additional investment.

Just when she was so happy that she couldn't sleep, a man in black suddenly appeared in her room in the middle of the night.

Song Qingyue was so frightened that she pulled out the dagger from under the pillow, and was about to fight desperately, another person suddenly jumped in from the window and stopped her: "Concubine Shizi, don't do anything, you are my own!"

Song Qingyue felt her soul shaking and almost floated out in fright.

"Qiu Shi?! Hey, it's you... you barged in in the middle of the night, you guys wanted to scare me to death!" She clutched her chest, tears streaming down her face.

She was beautiful, but when she was wronged, her small appearance was really unbearable. Even the cold-blooded and ruthless secret guard who had been trained quietly blushed in the dark, kneeling in front of the bed to plead guilty: "Follow the matter urgently, I also ask the princess to forgive me!"

Song Qingyue took a few breaths, calmed down her little heart that was beating wildly with fright, and said, "Show me the token first."

"Yes." The man in black took out a copper token with the word "Ji" written on one side and the word "Yang" written on the other.

In fact, Song Qingyue didn't know what the token looked like, but she knew that King Su also had an intelligence chief similar to Eunuch Ji, whose surname was Yang.

She pretended to look at it carefully for a long time before returning the token to the secret guard and asking: "Tell me, but something happened in the capital?"

The man in black nodded and replied: "Your Majesty accidentally fell off his horse during the northern tour. Now the capital is under martial law, and all princes and earls' mansions as well as various princely mansions have been besieged. The imperial army, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the five city soldiers and horses are all dispatched. "

"Where is the father? Is he okay?"

"The lord has been taken to the clan mansion." The man in black said.

Song Qingyue took a deep breath when she heard the words, calmed down her tense emotions, and then continued to ask: "Is the father only imprisoned, or are all the princes imprisoned?"

"Except for Prince Shen, all the princes and princes have been imprisoned. His Royal Highness Changsun is investigating the matter with Dali Temple."

"His Royal Highness?" Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Our mansion is under siege, do they know that I am not in the palace?"

"I know!" said the man in black, "The people in the mansion lied that you were leaving for Shandong to visit His Royal Highness Xun Shizi, so this subordinate came here to tell you that these days, you will live here temporarily and don't go back to the capital."

He spoke plainly, but Song Qingyue still heard something unusual in his tone. She frowned tightly and asked, "But is there something wrong with His Royal Highness?"

"No... not yet, there is no news yet. But don't worry, Shizi Concubine, His Highness is surrounded by experts, and His Highness won't cause trouble easily!" The man in black comforted Song Qingyue, but he didn't know how much unconscious panic was in his tone. .

On the contrary, Song Qingyue was calmer than him: "You don't have to worry. Our Royal Highness has great fortune and destiny. Even if the thousand-year-old bastard dies, nothing will happen to him. Father and His Royal Highness must have made arrangements in advance."

Seeing that the imperial concubine was calm and composed, the hidden guard and Qiu Shi were comforted instead, and their emotions stabilized.

Song Qingyue thought for a while, and then asked: "How are the female family members in the mansion now? Are you in a panic?"

"Concubine Wang, concubine Zhuang, and the wives who accompanied the young masters are all under house arrest in the palace. I'm afraid it's, I'm afraid it's..." The man in black didn't dare to say anything.

"No, I can't stay here, I have to go back!" Song Qingyue said seriously.

"Concubine Shizi, absolutely not! Your Majesty's life and death are uncertain now, the situation in Beijing is chaotic, and you are His Royal Highness's confidant, so, if someone wants to use you in the name of the palace to intimidate Shizi, it will be regarded as belonging to the imperial concubine." Even if you risk your life, it won't be able to protect you!"

Song Qingyue suddenly looked at the hidden guard and asked, "What's your name?"

"This subordinate's surname is Zeng, and his first name is Maozhi."

"Master Zeng, I know that you have been ordered to protect me, but the situation is urgent now, and there is no one in the mansion who can make decisions. What will those female relatives think? What will the subordinates think? I must go back to take charge of the overall situation now! If there is no bureau, the palace will not be chaotic!"

Zeng Maozhi and Qiu Shi couldn't make up their minds, and in the end, Zeng Maozhi still said: "Anyway, Shi Zifei, please think again. Anyway, if you want to leave, you have to wait until dawn. You... If you haven't changed your mind tomorrow morning, belong to I will send you back with my brothers."

"Okay, let me think about it again." Song Qingyue supported his forehead.

She tried her best to recall the content of the original novel, did the emperor fall from his horse?It seems to be... But how did she remember that the fall from the horse happened to Prince Jing after he ascended the throne?It happened when Li Zhen and his brothers fought for the heir apparent, and it was arranged by Li Zhao.

But this time it was definitely not Li Zhao.

It was too hasty.

So what caused someone to do it in advance?Could it be related to Meng Wanfeng?
Song Qingyue rubbed her temples, without the perspective of God, being in the middle of the game, it was really blinding, she didn't know anything, she was like a headless chicken.

If it wasn't in his own mansion, it certainly wasn't in Prince Jing's mansion, then it was either the Supervisor of Rites and King Shanjun who did it, or the Duke of Jing's Chen family and King Xin and King Yu.

Of course, there is another possibility that the two factions fought together, but one faction became the gun of the other faction, ah, my father-in-law may also be behind the scenes.

"Forbidden Army, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Five Cities Bingma Division."

Song Qingyue counted several troops in Beijing in a low voice, among which only Dongchang was dispatched by the Li Supervisor.As long as the emperor is awake, even the supervisor of ceremonies would not dare to act rashly.

"Lord Qiu! Master Zeng!" Song Qingyue shouted, and the two of them stood guard at the door and came in immediately.

"What's the relationship between Wucheng soldiers and horses and our family?" Song Qingyue asked.

Qiu Shidao: "His Royal Highness and General Fu have both held positions in the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. The commander, General Tian, ​​has a good relationship with His Royal Highness. The deputy commander used to be Wei Guogong's son Xu Youzhong, your eldest brother-in-law, but since Xu After the general went to the northwest, he was replaced by the Xiao family."

Song Qingyue clicked her tongue, the Xiao family, that is the people from King Shan County, if she was caught and locked up for any reason at the gate of the city, where would she go to reason?
"Then can you contact Master Feng, the Commander of Jinyiwei?" She asked again.

Qiu Shi looked at Zeng Maozhi, and Zeng Maozhi clasped his fists and said, "Try it, subordinate!"

Song Qingyue nodded, and said, "Master Zeng, try to contact General Tian and Commander Feng to see if they can deign to come and escort me back to the palace. Ah, by the way, this place can't be exposed... In this way, the two of you First try to send me quietly to the Hot Spring Villa, and then go to Master Feng and General Tian. If the two of you are not willing to go through this muddy water, then try to go to the Duanyi Princess Mansion to see if she is willing. Willing to help me."

Princess Duanyi's husband is Marquis Suiyuan. Although he had retired at home due to injuries many years ago, he was considered a powerful figure when he was young. soldier.

Song Qingyue thought to herself, she is a woman in the back house who has no strength, no talent and no virtue, and only uses her appearance to confuse men. Those people won't be so mad that they want to arrest her to sacrifice to the flag, right?

Really, what happened to that guy Li Zhao? He didn't send himself a message. He was really anxious to death.

After Zeng Maozhi got the order, he turned around and went out to contact the rescuers.

Song Qingyue asked someone to find a farmer's clothes to change into, and wiped a handful of pot bottom ash on her face. Qiu Shi said that she was rude, and helped Song Qingyue into a mule cart, pulled a cart of vegetables, and drove Song Qingyue away without a trace. Noisily sent in from the side door of the hot spring villa.

In the hot spring villa, Yuqi, Yujing, Yuping, and Yuxiang are still sleeping soundly.

Yuqi and Yujing are now the sweepers in this villa, while Yuping and Yuxiang are working in the laundry room. Compared with the previous scenery, they are really down and out now.But compared to Yushu who lost her life and Yuqin who was expelled from the capital, the four of them are considered good.

Suddenly being awakened from sleep by a man, they were really frightened.

"Guard Qiu!" After seeing the man's face clearly, Yuqi felt relieved, one of the closest personal guards around His Highness, an old acquaintance.

"Why are you here? But... what orders does His Highness have?"

Yuqi, Yujing, Yuping, and Yuxiang stared at Qiu Shi, and suddenly became enthusiastic.

Qiu Shi actually sympathized with these few and followed Li Zhao since he was a child, so these maids in the front hall naturally knew each other since they were young.

Naihe, eh...

"His Royal Highness is not in the capital right now, it is the imperial concubine who called you over." Qiu Shi rubbed his nose and said.

"Shizi Concubine? Why did she come? When did she come?" Yuqi was puzzled.

Qiu Shi briefly talked about the situation in Beijing, and then said: "Now the princess is going back to Beijing to sit in the palace, and someone will pick her up tomorrow morning or the morning after tomorrow. But her big maids are not around, so I need you to go there As her valet."

Several people looked at each other, still full of questions.

For example, why is the Crown Princess not in the mansion?
What did she do when she left the house?
Why are none of her personal maids by her side?
But seeing how Qiu Shiwei kept his mouth shut, he also knew that these were not things they could ask.

Entering the main room of Wentao Courtyard, I saw Concubine Shizi wearing autumn casual clothes, sitting in an armchair with her hair loose and her eyes closed.

Hearing movement from the door, Song Qingyue opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Long time no see, who of you knows how to comb your hair, please help me comb your hair first."

Yu Jing went out to salute, and said: "Slaves and servants will wear their hair."

Song Qingyue smiled, waved to her, and said, "Come on." Then she said to the others, "You all go down and get dressed first. From today onwards, the four of you will be my second-class maids. A few days ago, I performed well, and I was promoted to be a first-class maid, how about it?"

Yuqi was the first to kneel down to thank him, and the other three also knelt down to thank him one after another.

Song Qingyue smiled and said: "You all understand the rules here, right? I won't tolerate other thoughts. You must know what will happen to Yuqin and Yushu. If you still can't control your thoughts, you might as well Say it today, so that His Royal Highness will not have to bother to do that evil thing, which will damage the morality, don't you think?"

"Your maidservant dare not! Your maidservant will definitely be loyal to the imperial concubine in the future! I also ask the imperial concubine to trust us!" Yuqi said loudly.

"That's right, please trust us and be faithful to us in the future!" The other three agreed.

Song Qingyue chuckled, waved them back, then yawned, got up and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Yu Jing combed Song Qingyue's hair with bated breath, not daring to take a breath, for fear of offending Shi Zifei and wanting to change her.

There are countless capable people in the Palace who want to make their mark. After experiencing the hardships, they cherish this hard-won opportunity very much.

After Song Qingyue dressed up properly, Qiu Shi directly carried all the stewards of the villa from their respective beds.

There were several other fierce guards standing in the room, and they closed the door with a bang, scaring the nuns and stewards into trembling.

Song Qingyue held a meeting with the stewards behind closed doors for half an hour before letting them go.

After that, Song Qingyue slept on the beauty bed for a while.

When she was awakened, the person who took her back to Beijing came!
