    The East Palace is not far from Pingkangfang, and it only takes a short while to arrive.  This was the second time Chen Wanrong came to the East Palace. The first time he came was to see off Chen Zairong. He didn't even enter the gate and only stood outside for a while.  It is still the familiar bluestone road and the vermilion gate. Standing at the door is a group of tall soldiers with bright helmets, majestic and high-spirited, standing straight on the ground like wooden stakes.

    "Stop." As soon as the two arrived in front of the East Palace, the officer greeted them.

    Chen Zairong knew that he wanted to investigate, so without waiting for him to speak, he introduced: "This is my brother. The prince is waiting to see you."

    "Chen Wanrong?" The officer looked at Chen Wanrong, his eyes gleaming, as if he wanted to see Chen Wanrong through.

    Chen Wanrong ignored his shining gaze and said calmly: "Exactly!"

    "Come in, the prince has asked me several times." The officer took a step to the left and got out of the way.

    Chen Zairong led Chen Wanrong into the East Palace.  Chen Wanrong knew that the East Palace was not small in scale. As soon as he entered the gate, he realized that the East Palace was far larger than he had imagined. The houses were stacked one on top of another, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were inside at a glance.

    Inside the gate is a square paved with bluestones, with three roads on the left, middle and right. Follow Chen Zairong and walk along the left fork in the road until you reach the second entrance to the house.  I saw a person standing at the door in the middle. It was none other than Gao Lishi. He stood quietly, looking straight ahead, as if his eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart.

    When Gao Lishi saw Chen Wanrong, he quickly came up to him and complained: "Shopkeeper Chen, where have you been? You just came here now. Do you know that the prince has been waiting for you for a long time and has fallen asleep."

    I learned from Chen Zairong that the prince had a lot of things to do these days, and he was probably very sleepy. Even in this situation, he was still waiting for me. However, Chen Wanrong went out to meet Wu Daozi. He felt a little regretful and saluted with a smile: "  I've met Eunuch Gao. I have something to do and I'm sorry to keep the prince waiting."

    "Be quiet." Gao Lishi warned, and said to Chen Zairong: "Okay, you have nothing to do here, go and do your work."

    Chen Zairong is a bodyguard, so he can follow him when traveling. It is Gao Lishi's responsibility to be knowledgeable and attend to daily life. He responded, said farewell for now, turned around and left.

    Gao Lishi walked in the lead, and Chen Wanrong followed him into the room. Gao Lishi said softly: "You sit down for a while, and I will bring you a cup of tea. Be careful and don't make a sound."

    Although it is a room in the East Palace, its furnishings are no different from those in ordinary homes. There is a table, a few chairs, no red carpet, and there is no grandeur.  The only thing that impresses people is the murals on the walls. They are of profound skill and must be from the hands of famous artists, and cannot be possessed by ordinary people.

    Chen Wanrong was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that Li Longji's living arrangements were so simple and without any luxury. In any case, he could not be related to the Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty who was criticized for his great achievements and extravagance in history.

    Now Li Longji is obsessed with rectifying the Tang Dynasty, reviving the glorious achievements of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, advocating frugality and curbing luxury.  As for the extravagance criticized by future generations, it would disappear decades later. At that time, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak and was extremely prosperous, known in history as the "Kaiyuan Dynasty."  At the same time, his vigor was also worn away, and he gradually became unable to listen to honest advice and liked flattering people. That was why the "Anshi Rebellion" destroyed his life's work.

    He didn¡¯t want to affect the prince¡¯s rest, so Chen Wanrong naturally complied, nodding lightly and saying nothing.  However, Li Longji's voice came from the room on the left: "Is shopkeeper Chen here?"

    Gao Lishi replied hurriedly and respectfully: "Back to the prince, Chen Wanrong is here."

    "Ask him to come in." Li Longji ordered.

    Gao Lishi responded and walked in front, followed by Chen Wanrong.  There is a doorway on the left with a silk curtain hanging down.  Gao Lishi lifted the silk curtain, and Chen Wanrong strode in.

    At first glance, there are no luxurious furnishings in the room, just a few chairs and tables.  With the layout of the front hall, Chen Wanrong was no longer surprised.

    Li Longji was half lying on a soft chair, with a pillow behind his head and a robe covering himself. On the tables in front of him were a plate of cut meat, a wine glass, a pair of chopsticks, and a jug of wine.  There was half a glass of wine left in the wine glass, and the cuts of meat on the plate were irregular and a little messy. They must have eaten some.

    Chen Wanrong understood that Li Longji was eating, but he was too sleepy and fell asleep while eating. Maybe Gao Lishi gently put a robe on him.  There were bloodshot eyes, and there was also a bit of relaxation, which was a sign of distress, but his expression was still high and he was still so charming.  Chen Wanrong was a little embarrassed and was about to salute. Li Longji waved his hand, pointed to a chair next to him and said, "Sit down."

    In response, Chen Wanrong sat down and said: "The prince has summoned me.The power in the weapons prison can be mobilized to engage in chemical industry, and the prospects will be even better.  Apart from anything else, this equipment alone saves a lot of time and effort in making it.  With the help of the weapons supervisor, Chen Wanrong could make the chemical equipment he needed. It might not be impossible for acid-base fertilizers to appear in the Tang Dynasty.

    Thinking about the bright future, Chen Wanrong¡¯s eyes lit up.  However, on second thought, there are shortcomings.  The main shortcoming is that it will be controlled by others, and the reason is obvious.  The Weapons Supervisor serves the imperial court, that is, making weapons. It will definitely support making gunpowder, but it may not get support if it wants to make acid and alkali.  Not to mention, the research work in the weapons prison has to be ordered by the above. Even if Chen Wanrong proposes a plan, it is likely that it will not be approved because it is beyond their cognitive scope, which will tie Chen Wanrong's hands and feet.

    Relatively speaking, if you set up your own project and do it yourself, although you don¡¯t have the strong technical strength to obtain the necessary equipment, you will have much more freedom after all, and it will be easier to make more chemical products.  As for equipment, wait until the time is right before figuring out how to do it.

    Thinking about this, Chen Wanrong declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I don't have any skills, let alone ingenuity, so it's better not to go."
