Lu Yuanzhang didn't want to punish the second prince.
But he had to do what he needed to do today.
Long Qingxue also understood, and soon she thought of another thing.
"About the matter of black powder, don't let the boss steal the limelight. It will lead to long nights and many dreams. You must arrange this matter as soon as possible."
Lu Yuanzhang knew that his two sons were fighting openly and secretly, and he had always supported the second prince.
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter. I have sent someone to summon Liu Dachang. I will have a confidential talk with Liu Dachang tonight."
Long Qingxue was very satisfied.
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. After all, black powder is too important to us. We must use this matter to gain the trust of the officials."
More than an hour later, it was dead of night.
Fang Chen came to Kangqing Palace alone.
Did he ever think that His Majesty was looking for him?
After arriving at Qing'an Palace, the young eunuch took Fang Chen to a side hall to wait.
Soon Lu Yuanzhang walked out wearing a golden robe with flying dragons and phoenixes.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty!" Fang Chen saluted Lu Yuanzhang.
Lu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Master Liu, there is no need to be polite. If you come, please give me a seat!"
Lu Yuanzhang sat on the valuable mahogany chair. Soon the two eunuchs moved another chair and placed it five meters away. Fang Chen took his seat.
Being able to sit and talk with an emperor is the highest courtesy an emperor can give to him.
It also proves that Lu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to Fang Chen.
The little eunuch poured Fang Chen another cup of tea.
After the others went down, Fang Chen asked: "Your Majesty, why did you come to see me so late?"
Lu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I heard that you have excellent medical skills and healed His Highness's injuries. Is this true?"
Fang Chen didn't expect Lu Yuanzhang to be so concerned about the second prince.
At this moment, Lu Yuanzhang didn't have any airs of an emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed learned some medical skills from my travels over the years. It is my duty to treat His Highness's injuries."
Lu Yuanzhang nodded gently, "You have done a good job in this matter, but I heard that you and His Highness are very close, is this possible?"
Fang Chen was slightly shocked, but his face remained calm.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, Your Highness and the Prime Minister have been kind to me, and now I am a palace guard in His Highness's palace."
"It is my duty to protect His Highness."
Lu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and smiled.
"It is naturally good to repay kindness."
"But I heard that you want to manufacture and research black powder in His Majesty's palace, not in the Ministry of Industry. Is this true?"
Fang Chen didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Yuanzhang was selling in the gourd, and he didn't expect that Lu Yuanzhang kept an eye on these things so closely.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is more convenient to make gunpowder in His Highness's palace. Your Highness will provide me with all kinds of help and ensure that I can produce black powder within the time promised."
Lu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the answer to the equation.
"Very good, then after the black powder is produced, do you want to give the credit to His Highness?"
Lu Yuanzhang asked directly.
This question is simply a proposition!
However, Fang Chen has a way to deal with it, and that is He Xini, who will not answer directly at all.
"Your Majesty, after Wei Chen makes the black gunpowder, he will definitely hand it over to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
This answer is watertight.
Lu Yuanzhang put down the tea cup in his hand.
"If I ask you to give up your credit to the second prince, will you be willing?"
Fang Chen was startled, he was so direct!
Such protection for the second prince!
The third prince is better than the second prince in every aspect. Logically speaking, in this royal family, the emperor will definitely like the eldest prince.
Why do you only love the second prince?
"Everything follows His Majesty's arrangements!"
Lu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he saw Fang Chen agreeing without any hesitation.
"Tomorrow you will go to the Ministry of Industry to study black powder. If nothing happens in the future, you will contact His Highness and work with me. I will never treat you badly."
Fang Chen immediately knelt down to thank him!
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. I will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty, even to the death!"
Lu Yuanzhang didn't expect that Fang Chen would be so wise. Every time he answered, he always kept it in his heart.
No questions asked about anything.
This kind of person is very smart.
"Get up."
"I have a luminous pearl that I want to give to you."
Soon, Lu Yuanzhang went to the back room in person, took out a jade box, and handed it to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was overjoyed and thanked him again: "Thank you for your grace!"
Even without opening the jade box, Fang Chen knew that the luminous pearl inside was priceless!
Lu Yuanzhang said again: "You are also a martial arts practitioner. Tell me, what is your current level of cultivation?"
Fang Chen replied: "Your Majesty, I am at the eighth level."
Eighth grade?
Lu Yuanzhang was startled and immediately released his breath to test.
Fang Chen also showed his breath.
After testing, it turned out to be the eighth grade!
"I really didn't expect that President Liu's cultivation level is so high. Then I will teach you a set of mental techniques called Shenlong Mental Technique. This mental technique is suitable for tempering all kinds of true energy. If you practice more, you can improve it.
Your cultivation."
"This mental method is only part of it. Once the black powder is produced and completed, I will naturally give you a more powerful method."
Fang Chen expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful!"
Fang Chen was also curious as to what his thoughts were.
Lu Yuanzhang recited a set of mental techniques silently and asked Fang Chen to practice on the spot. He wanted to guide Fang Chen.
So, Fang Chen sat cross-legged and started to work his mind. Soon, the golden energy in Fang Chen's Dantian suddenly had a huge reaction!
It seems that the golden energy and mind are complementary powers!
How is this going?
Fang Chen did not expose the golden energy because it was the power of the Great Yan royal family.
He used his mental skills and discovered that the true energy in his body was indeed getting stronger!
Fang Chen used his true energy to walk within his body for a week, and then stopped.
"Very good." Lu Yuanzhang asked, "How do you feel?"
Fang Chen had an excited look on his face and answered truthfully: "I just walked for a week, and I feel that my strength has increased a lot, and I feel refreshed."
"This technique is simply magical!"
At the eighth level, it is difficult to temper strength. After ten days and a half of practice, you may make a little progress, or you may remain unchanged.
Some people have been practicing for decades, but their cultivation level cannot improve.
But after practicing this technique for a short time, you can clearly feel that your true energy and state of mind have improved to a certain extent!
horrible!
Lu Yuanzhang nodded: "As long as you practice diligently, your strength will become more and more refined, and your realm will improve accordingly."
"As long as you work for me with peace of mind, and even...if there is a chance, I will find a way for you to break through to the ninth level!"
In this world, there are originally very few eighth-grade experts, but now that the royal family is short of talents, Lu Yuanzhang naturally wants to win people's hearts.
Ninth grade!
Hearing these two words, Fang Chen was really moved and extremely excited.
