The Meng brothers moved to a new home. Since they had a relationship with Wang Ping'an, they were promoted and made a fortune. They were no longer the small officers who were excluded at the time, but the popular ones in the imperial guards. After their identity and status changed, they naturally could not live in the small ruined house of the past.

The new home of the Montessori brothers is located in Pingkangfang, close to the East Palace and the East City. In today's terms, it is close to the government and the commercial street. It is a good place to live in Chang'an City. The two brothers live next to each other and can take care of each other.

Ouyang Shuang found Meng's house and said that there was something to say in the ward office. The servants dared not delay and led him into the outer hall. Meng Datian immediately ran out to meet him. He thought something happened in the East Palace.

Seeing that it was Ouyang Shuang, Meng Datian naturally recognized it. He said happily: "Oh, isn't this Brother Ouyang? What gust of wind blows you to me?" He didn't know exactly what Ouyang Shuang was named. Anyway, Wang Ping'an's personal bodyguards are all surnamed Ouyang, so as long as they are called Ouyang, it must be correct.

He looked at the door, and the servants were carrying a box in it, and then smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang, come here and bring gifts. I'm not here anymore, why should we be polite?"

Ouyang Shuang looked back and shouted, "Hey, don't move, that's not for your family! I said, Brother Da Meng, your family is really interesting. When you see something placed in front of your house, you can move it to the yard. No wonder you can live in such a good house."

Meng Datian hurriedly said, "Brother Ouyang is joking. What money do I have? Isn't it all rewarded by the princes? Brother Ouyang, you came from Qingzhou, because you brought it from the princes and the princes?" When he thought of Wang Ping'an having something to look for him, he felt happy. As long as the princes and the princes have something to do, he would make progress!

Ouyang Shuang waved his hand and said, "I have something important to tell you, Brother Da Meng, let's go and talk later!"

Meng Datian said, "Okay, let's talk in the study." He accompanied Ouyang Shuang to the back and said, "I'm sure I'll not hide it from Brother Ouyang, I also built a study and bought a large room full of books. I think so, I'll be like this in my life, but my sons have to have a promising future. They have to read more. People can't become good without reading!"

Ouyang Shuang said: "That's natural."

The two of them arrived at the study room and left and left. Ouyang Shuang told the matter. After hearing this, Meng Datian hesitated and said, "It's not difficult to meet General Manager Shi, but it's a bit difficult to let you go to the palace and report to His Royal Highness the Prince. Not everyone can enter the East Palace!"

He was right. If Wang Ping'an came, he would say he would go in. But if someone else was there, he wouldn't be able to meet an acquaintance in the palace and go in the area inside. Then what would become the East Palace become? It would become a vegetable market? Come when you want to come, and leave when you want to go!

Ouyang Shuang said: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you talk to General Manager Shi, he will solve the rest."

Meng Datian smiled and said, "That's true. Brother Ouyang, let's go with me. Let's go to the East Palace now. It's still early. If everything goes well, you will definitely see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today."

The two left Meng's house and went to the East Palace together. Seeing that he had brought a big box and rode on a separate horse, Meng Datian said, "Brother Ouyang, is this a matter given to His Royal Highness the Prince? Why don't you send it directly in? You have to go around such a big bend?"

Ouyang Shuang smiled and said, "Brother Da Meng, we are the ones, let's tell the truth, and we don't tell the truth. If I ask for the prince directly, my master will have to write a document. In that case, wouldn't everyone know that my master is going to find the prince if he has something to do? I'm afraid this news can't be hidden!"

When Meng Datian heard this, he said oh and understood. This was quite tactful. In fact, it was because he had a low status and no one would monitor him. Through his own place, he secretly looked for Shi Aiguo and things were done. It was better to keep the secret than to see the prince in a normal way.

Meng Datian glanced at the box and whispered: "Is it a very important thing? The things that come into the palace, but you need to check it!" Before Ouyang Shuang answered, he said: "How important it is, don't tell me, I don't have the courage to know. But if I really get checked, I can't save any secrets. I have to explain this to Brother Ouyang in advance."

People have different identities, so the process of doing the same thing is different. Wang Ping'an wants to do this, so simple that it cannot be simpler, but if Ouyang Shuang does it, it will have to go around and go around, and it may even be impossible.

Ouyang Shuang said: "If I can be inspected, why am I going to ask you for help? Isn't it just for this?"

Meng Datian sighed and said, "It would be okay if I was on duty..."

Let’s talk about it and arrive at the East Palace. Ouyang Shuang is waiting outside the square, while Meng Datian enters the palace.

After a while, Meng Datian brought two little eunuchs out, carried the box, and wanted to enter the palace gate. When entering the palace gate, the guards naturally had to go forward to check, and it was impossible to put it in like this.

A little eunuch said, "This is what our General Manager Shi wants to use, for bathing, please check it!"

Meng Datian said, "I have checked it. Come in with General Manager Shi. He is waiting to use it!"

The guards did not say anything, and Meng Datian spoke, but they did not dare to do anything. But the head of the guards on duty came over and said, "Brother Meng, what's going on?" Things like this happen often in the East Palace, but most of them are moving things outwards, and few are moving inside.

Meng Datian didn't care about anything. He gestured with his fingers and made a circle gesture, meaning that it was full of money, bribery, and flattery.

The leader of the Imperial Guard understood, and showed an envious expression on his face, and whispered: "Brother Meng, you are a capable person. You were Lord Mi before, and now you are General Shi. There are people in the palace who are easy to be an official. How did you take these channels? Let's talk to your brother!"

Who doesn’t want to make progress? But progress is not the matter of who works hard. The key is that the boss thinks who is a hardworking person. How can he let his boss think so? Then don’t you have to move boxes inside and put some ingots and copper coins. The boss will naturally know who works harder, and of course he will think of who will be able to think of when he is promoted!

Meng Datian said with a sneer and said, "This is very simple. Just be diligent and work hard..."

"Don't be nonsense. If you have a way, you must remember me, brother. I haven't even said a few words to General Manager Shi!" said the leader of the guard.

Ouyang Shuang and the little eunuch had already entered the East Palace and walked inside. Seeing that the matter was done, Meng Datian said, "Sure, it's up to us, it's time to take care of each other. Brothers will do their business first. Let's talk about it if you have any questions!"

He followed Ouyang Shuang and walked towards Chongxian Hall together. He heard the leader of the guard behind shouting: "Brother Meng, find some time, brother, I'll treat you to a drink!"

Meng Datian turned around and said, "It's easy to say, I'll treat you to my brother another day, brother!"

Ouyang Shuang said with a sneer and said, "I'm here now, won't it be suspicious?"

Meng Datian said: "No, this kind of thing will not cause doubt. On the contrary, as long as it involves the issue of the route, no one is willing to talk too much, so as not to let others go in and out of the way and leave themselves behind. Brother Ouyang, no one will mention the matter of you sending boxes into the palace."

Ouyang Shuang nodded and thanked her, but thought to herself: "It seems that it is not too difficult to enter the Eastern Palace. In this case, if something needs to be done in the future... no wonder Xuanwu Gate can make a coup in a while. There are too many ghosts in this palace!"

The two entered the Chongxian Pavilion, and Shi Aiguo was waiting at the door. As long as they came here, everything was fine. Meng Datian left the East Palace and it was time to drink, while Shi Aiguo led Ouyang Shuang into the Chongxian Pavilion.

Ouyang Shuang presented the letter to Li Zhi. Li Zhi was shocked when he saw it and said, "What's going on? Is it possible... Could it be that the matter of that person has already made the King of Wu notice?"

The news brought by Wang Ping'an was like a bolt from the blue, almost knocking him out of nowhere. He was afraid of what he was afraid of. Li Ke was most afraid of knowing about Wu Meiniang, but he really knew it.

Ouyang Shuang hurriedly said, "If you go back to the Crown Prince, it's not that serious. But the King of Wu thought that my master had a room and was pregnant with a child, so he thought he had seized the handle and he had to deal with my master."

When Li Zhi heard this, he put down his snacks a little, as long as he didn't involve himself first. As long as he was safe, there was always room for maneuver. He said, "As long as he followed the instructions in the letter, he would be able to deal with it like this? But the King of Wu may not... he may not be fooled, right?"

Ouyang Shuang said: "We did this in advance. If he is not deceived, we have to think of other ways to deal with it. But when I went to his place yesterday, things went very smoothly. When the King of Wu saw the model of the waterwheel, he immediately agreed. Prince Prince, do you want to see the model?"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It is natural that you have to look at such an important thing first. I am so confident!"

Ouyang Shuang immediately opened the box and assembled the model. Just like what Ouyang Yi demonstrated to Li Ke yesterday, he also demonstrated it to Li Zhi.

When Li Zhi saw this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "This water truck is so exquisite. It must be very useful. It seems that the King of Wu will be fooled!"

Shi Aiguo watched from the side and sighed in his heart. The gap between brothers had reached this point. The brother did not look like he was an elder brother. When the younger brother saw that his elder brother was going to be unlucky, he was still full of joy. I am afraid that the past of Xuanwu Gate will be repeated in this dynasty!

Li Zhi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's what we do! However, this matter is related to that person. I can't tell my uncle clearly. I can only adapt to the situation when I go to court tomorrow!"

When he thought about adapting to the situation, he became worried again. His ability was limited, and he could do it randomly. At worst, he could go with the flow. It would be difficult to adapt to the situation. If you change, you can do it, but if you want to adapt to the situation... It would be better to remember Wang Ping'an's method as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

Seeing that Li Zhi was attentive, Shi Aiguo took Ouyang Shuang out of Chongxian Hall and asked some specific things. Ouyang Shuang answered one by one, and Shi Aiguo then asked him to leave.

Ouyang Shuang went back to the inn and told Ouyang Yi about what happened. Ouyang Yi felt nothing about Li Zhi's reaction, but he was very interested in how to enter the East Palace and asked in detail. Both of them had ideas about entering the palace. They thought about it together. It seemed that as long as there was an inner supporter in the palace, it was not difficult to enter the palace. Moreover, because Ouyang Shuang had walked in and had already understood the situation in the palace, both of them were very excited. They said that if something really happened in the future, there would be no need to be so troublesome again. They could jump in and get things done. The mystery in the palace was greatly reduced in their hearts.

The brothers Li Zhi and Li Ke are both busy. They rarely have such diligent times, but today is different from the past. They both plan to give their opponent a heavy blow, so they all work hard to improve!

The next morning, Li Ke got up early, had breakfast, and dressed up properly. He personally brought the waterwheel model to the Ministry of Works. He could not go directly to see the emperor now, so he had to take a detour and the Ministry of Works to stand up for him. This also shows that he was not a very good person, nor was he the kind of person who had to report to his father if he had some achievements, and he was much better than Li Zhi.

After he sent the water truck model to the Ministry of Works, he explained the principle to the Minister of Works, and then returned to the palace, and left the rest to the Minister of Works.

The Minister of Works was shocked when he saw the waterwheel model. He became the Minister of Works. Of course, he was a professional. When he saw this model, he knew that it was a very useful thing. He immediately recruited all the officials on duty in the Ministry of Works to take a closer look.

After a study, the Minister of Works said to the officials: "Do you see the trick?"

Officials said one after another: "Of course I can see that if this kind of water truck is really built, then the people of our Tang Dynasty will have a good life and there will be no need to be afraid of drought in many places. This is what Wang Ping'an sent? I heard Jiang Shuiqing say a few days ago that Qingzhou is building a new water truck, and I guess this is the case!"

The Minister of Works said, "The trick I mentioned is not whether this water truck is easy to use. Is it easy to use? I still have to ask you! This water truck was not sent from Qingzhou, but from the King of Wu. He only sent this small water truck, but did not come with drawings. What do you think the King of Wu wants?"

The officials looked at each other and thought to themselves: "Isn't this obvious? The King of Wu wants to pass on our hands and present this small water truck to the emperor, asking us to praise him and ask for me for me. We have no drawings. When we talk about how to build a water truck, we can only ask him to explain to the emperor in person. He will be in a big light at that time."

Everyone understood, but no one said that. The officials shook their heads together and said they could not see the tricks!

The Minister of Works laughed and said, "You can't see it?"

The officials hurriedly said, "I can't see that the humble and rude position is really hard!"

The Minister of Works said again: "Okay, since no one can see it, let's not forget it. Let me present the water truck to the emperor! By the way, when Lord Shangshu returns to the yamen, he will tell him about the matter." After that, he asked someone to carry the water truck model into the palace.

The officials looked at each other and thought to themselves: "Mr. Shangshu happened to be coming a little late today. It seems that this credit will be made by the Minister. I really know how to see the right time!"
