In the Imperial City, the two ox carts departing from Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion attracted the attention of many people.
The bullock cart was covered with black cloth, so it was hard to see what was inside.
However, seeing Liu Mingqi and a little fat man riding beside him as they rode all the way to the palace, some people still made associations.
"I went to give gifts to the emperor again, huh, what a flatterer!"
Liu Minghua, the Duke of Lu, stood on the attic, looking at the retreating figure, and said with disgust.
"Haha, second brother, you can't say that. Being able to flatter is also an advantage." Another man who looked somewhat similar to him said, "Don't you think the emperor likes him more and more?"
"I bother!"
Liu Minghua was even more fed up, "Liu Mingqi, that bastard, I don't know where he got these weird thingsespecially "Jianjin Wine", he must have plagiarized it! Sooner or later I will expose him!!"
The man said, "So, second brother, have you found the flaw?"
"Not yet." Liu Minghua said angrily, "He must have hidden the original author because he was afraid that we would find it!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether he can find it or not." The man said lightly: "As long as we find another opportunity and let him write a poem on the spot, can't we make a judgment? If we don't have real ability, eagerness It is absolutely impossible to do it! By then, no matter how high he was praised before, he will fall as hard as he did!"
"yes!"
Liu Minghua began to think about it.
I don¡¯t know what he thought, but a proud smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The man next to him smiled and turned his eyes into the distance, a trace of sinisterness flashed through his eyes.
Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t know that someone was targeting him, so he was happily preparing to conduct another experiment of his own.
We had known for a long time that he was coming. Qian Xianrui, the eunuch who was one of the three chief stewards of the palace, was already waiting for him at the palace gate.
"Hey, my Crown Prince, you are finally here!" Qian Xianrui smiled and welcomed Liu Mingqi off the horse, saying: "You said you would come at noon, and the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Some things were delayed, but luckily we arrived." Liu Mingqi said: "Eunuch Qian, please tell them to carry it carefully and don't damage it!"
"okay!"
Qian Xianrui greeted the eunuchs below, moved all the parts from the two ox carts, and placed them on small carts that could be transported in the palace.
Of course, the trolley has been filled with straw according to Liu Mingqi¡¯s request to avoid collisions.
"Your renovation of Cining Palace in the past few days has attracted the interest of many people." Qian Xianrui accompanied Liu Mingqi as he walked inside, "Including Concubine Chen, Concubine Shen, Concubine Xu, and Concubine Li Shuyi, they all sent palace maids and eunuchs. Look, everyone is here today, and the entrance to Cining Palace is very lively."
"Grandma Huang, you don't mind the noise?" Liu Mingqi said in surprise.
"No, the Queen Mother is naturally peaceful and loving to her family. She has hardly punished anyone in the palace for so many years. Everyone loves her." Qian Xianrui said with a smile: "Besides, everyone is just watching the fun, and the palace is very Because it¡¯s boring, it¡¯s a rare opportunity, and the Queen Mother will not stop it.¡±
Liu Mingqi nodded slightly.
There was still a lot of filth in the palace of the Kang Dynasty, but because the emperors strictly abided by their ancestral precepts, no major troubles occurred.
Especially the maids and eunuchs, because they have little power and the emperor is very generous, they can generally live in peace.
Cining Palace is located to the west of the imperial palace and is usually where the empress dowager lives.
Of course, they don¡¯t always live there. If the previous empress dowager dies in Cining Palace, then the next empress dowager will move to Shoukang Palace next to it, and then the next empress will move to Shou¡¯an Palace, which is slightly further away. Only four people will move back.
The current Empress Dowager happened to be in the Cining Palace.
Cining Palace is quite far away from the palace gate. After passing through Taihe Hall, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall in parallel, you can reach Cining Gate. Enter Cining Palace.
Liu Mingqi originally thought that everyone was waiting outside Cining Gate to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly, they were waiting directly in the open space at the entrance of Cining Palace.
He was startled when he first entered, and then he realized why Qian Xianrui mentioned it specifically.
Because there were more than fifty palace maids and eunuchs gathered here, all looking eagerly at Liu Mingqi and the row of carts next to him.
"The Prince"?Building a water pipe is a big project, and Liu Mingqi doesn't have the spare time.
He didn't go very far when he made the septic tank. He dug a pit ten meters deep and five meters wide in the open space outside Cining Gate and near Longzong Gate, and then made a huge iron pit of the same size. Buckets, copper pipes dug out from the palace of Cining Palace, slanted down straight into the bucket.
From now on, every one or two days, let the eunuchs in the palace dig out the filth, put it into a night incense bucket, and transport it out of the palace.
The toilet needs clean water in the porcelain water tank at all times to flush away the filth.
Liu Mingqi¡¯s idea is to make a copper water tank that is ten times larger than the porcelain water tank of the toilet, and place it above the toilet water tank, so that water can be supplied at any time.
But putting such a large water tank in the toilet is too big. Can the eunuchs still come here often and use ladders to add water?
Doesn¡¯t the Queen Mother have too much privacy?
So Liu Mingqi placed the large water tank five meters away from the next door and used copper pipes to connect the toilet water tank.
The copper pipe uses a ribbed fitting pipe link in the middle to facilitate turning and folding.
In this way, eunuchs can add water at any time without worrying about disturbing the Queen Mother's rest, and the toilet will not have the hidden worry of lack of water.
