Xue Lince was also taken aback when he heard this.

He just had dinner with the emperor yesterday, why is he being summoned to speak in the hall today?
Could it be that his identity was exposed?
It shouldn't be, even if he was exposed, he shouldn't be asked to go to the hall to answer, shouldn't he just let the guards pull him up?

Xue Lince's second monk couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow behind the eunuch.

During the period, he asked curiously once, but the internal officer kept his mouth shut, only saying that it was not a bad thing, and he just asked him to reply later.

Soon after arriving at the Golden Palace, the first thing I saw was the little emperor sitting on the throne with IQ. It seemed that because of his clothes, he was wearing a dragon robe. Although his expression was the same as yesterday, he was exuding an indescribable majesty.

Then there was Jing Shan standing outside the crowd.

He cast a surprised look at Jing Shan, who blinked slowly, as if trying to comfort himself.

Xue Lince swallowed involuntarily, and only then noticed another person standing outside the crowd.

The man looked heroic, there seemed to be a few deep grooves between his eyebrows formed by frowning all the year round, and he couldn't stop staring at him.

Who is this person?

Xue Lince thought to himself.

Could it be the Regent?But his straightforward gaze made Xue Lince hesitate.

After all, the regent in his heart is a ruthless character who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and in Jing Shan's description, this person is also insidious and cunning.

This person in front of him always made him feel very worthless.

Xue Lince sorted out his thoughts, then knelt down to salute the emperor.

"Xue Qing, please get up, the regent has called you here and wants you to answer some doubts." The little emperor looked at the regent after he finished speaking, "He is already here, if you have any questions, uncle, please ask yourself."

This is really the Regent...

Xue Lince curled his lips inwardly, feeling that Jing Shan was unreliable for the first time.

Moreover, the regent is actually the uncle of His Majesty today, and he is still called so grandly in the court.

With such a status and power, Xue Lince always felt that he was still facing each other.

Then I heard the regent speak: "Let me ask you, just now Jing Xiang said that you can make ice cubes?"

It was because of this...

Xue Lince had known for a long time that this matter must be reported, but it just needed a better opportunity. He never thought that his cousin would find such an opportunity for him...

He couldn't help looking at Jing Shan.

"What do you do with the scenery?" The regent saw it, and shouted like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, "Your Majesty asked you to talk to me!"

"Xiaguan will indeed." Xue Lince felt helpless in the county, "It's actually very simple. Xiaguan discovered it by accident. Just fill a wooden barrel with water, put a certain amount of saltpeter into the water, and then fill it with water in a metal container and put it in the water. go in, and then freeze the water in the intermediate container."

As soon as Xue Lince finished speaking, the court, which was still audible just now, was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

"Quiet!" The Regency roared suddenly behind him, and then the voice stopped. He looked at Xue Lince and narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said you discovered this. If you have such a skill, you should have given the recipe early. To benefit the common people, instead of holding it in your own hands, just thinking about making a fortune for yourself!"

Xue Lince sighed in his heart, knelt down and saluted again, pleading guilty.

But he never said where he was guilty.

"Uncle is a little too strict?" The little emperor on the throne said, and looked at Xue Lince after speaking, "Xue Qing should get up."

The regent wanted to speak, but was stopped by the little emperor's eyes, and he continued: "What is Xue Qing doing in the Imperial Academy now?"

"The minister is compiling the book with Hu Shishu." Thinking of Liu Jingwen's face, Xue Lince had a toothache.

"You have such ability, you are really buried in the Imperial Academy." The little emperor pondered for a while, and then said, "Since you have some experience in water, why don't you enter the Ministry of Industry and become a Yuanwailang in Dushui. "

"Your Majesty, no!" The regent realized that he was a little too anxious after finishing speaking, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands before speaking, "This Xue Lince is just a good man now, and he hasn't passed the assessment after three years. It is impossible to grant an official!"

"He has contributed to this prescription," the little emperor said, "I also cherish talents. Instead of letting him compile books in the Imperial Academy, it is better to go to Dushui to follow the flood control."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!" The regent glanced at Xue Lince, his eyes were very fierce, "This man is just a little tricky, and he has the courage to make gunpowder with saltpeter. How can he use it to make ice for enjoyment!"

"Your Majesty, I heard from Xue Yuanwailang before that the saltpeter used to make ice doesn't just disappear. As long as the water in it is dried, it can still be used later." Naturally, Xue Lince was not qualified to speak at this time. Shan stood up and said, "So I said at the very beginning that this method doesn't cost much."

With just a few words, the regent was caught off guard.

"In that case, it's okay." The little emperor said with a smile.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" The regent arched his hands again, "Then this is also..."

Before the regent continued, Jing Shan continued to speak: "Actually, the glass that is commonly used today is also fired by Xue Lince, which is clearer than the glass that came back from Fanbang before, and it costs a lot less. "

The regent didn't expect Xue Lince to make glass. He didn't know how to refute for a while, and was blocked for words, so he could only shut up angrily.

The little emperor also silenced the objectors, and then he said: "Then you are indeed buried in the Hanlin Academy to compile books, but the regent also said that you cannot be appointed as an official according to the rules, so you will go from here. Let’s start with Yuanwailang from the Dushui Department.”

The regent glared fiercely at Xue Lince, who was thanking him. He didn't notice for a moment that this man was promoted from a low-grade Shujishi to a fifth-rank Yuanwailang in one fell swoop. official.

It's really hard to deal with...

The regent narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xue Lince more and more ruthlessly.

After Xue Lince got up, he happened to meet the other party's eyes, and couldn't help shivering.

It's just that they didn't care, and stood at the end of the line in a big way.

After the court meeting ended, Xu courtiers came to congratulate him.

"Master Xiao Xue is really young and promising. He became an official at the fifth rank at a young age, and his future is boundless!"

"It's all thanks to Master Xiao Xue's fantastic idea. We old men can't figure out how to make ice."

Xue Lince was surrounded by everyone and was very panicked.

But he saw that his elder brother Yuanzhong was just watching, not only didn't speak for him in the court just now, but he didn't come to rescue him now...
