Chapter 151 The Son is a Villain 20

When Chen Xuan and others saw Wanqi Fufeng standing in front of them, they were completely in disbelief.

The Eighteenth Prince and everyone in his palace should have died in the sudden fire, so why are they here now?

His doubts were soon discovered by Wanqi Fufeng. Chen Xuan was now a general, and it would be difficult for him not to be discovered standing in the first row.

Wanqi Fufeng smiled faintly and didn't give him too much attention.

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Xuan found an opportunity to catch up with Wanqi Fufeng.

"Eighteenth Prince, please stay."

Wanqi Fufeng turned around and said, "It's General Chen. What's the matter?"

"Humble job..."

Chen Xuan didn't say a word for a long time. He wanted to ask, but he felt like he had no right to ask.

"General Chen, do you want to ask me why I am here?"

"Yes."

"Because, this world should belong to our Wanqi family. How could someone steal it?"

Wanqi Fufeng's words were unclear, but Chen Xuan understood them.

No one understands better than him that the current position of the Wanqi royal family was stolen. The only ones in the Wanqi royal family with royal blood are actually Wanqi Fufeng and Wanqi Xiao!

Chen Xuan stopped where he was, and Wanqi Fufeng chuckled and said, "Since the Chen family is here, leave your heart here. As time goes by, things that belong to our family will be taken back sooner or later."

After saying this, Wanqi Fufeng left.

In the days that followed, Wanqi Xiao, with Wanqi Fufeng's 500,000 elite troops, was able to advance like a hot knife through butter and gradually capture most of the territory of Tianqi State.

When the Emperor of Tianqi heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

The people in the remaining territories of Tianqi Kingdom that had not been conquered were in panic.

Wanqi Xiao adopted the advice given by Chao Yao before, and constantly publicized how comfortable and smooth the lives of the people were under their governance.

With continuous publicity, people in many places opened the city gates to welcome Wanqi Xiao as soon as they heard that he was coming with his army.

Seeing that Wanqi Xiao was about to reach the imperial capital, the emperor sent out the remaining princes and grandchildren to escape with Wanqi You and Wanqi Chunxi.

Wanqi Xiao captured the imperial city without any effort, but he had no intention of building the imperial capital here.

At this time, Wanqi Xiao was only sixteen years old.

He found a time and came to the palace alone.

Looking at the palace in front of me, the events of my previous life are still vivid in my mind.

Being made into a human pig, being ridiculed and mocked, lonely...

"Hey! Why don't you leave? The army has already broken in, and they've all fled. If you don't leave now, you won't have a chance to escape!"

A clear female voice sounded, but Wanqi Xiao did not turn around.

He knew better than anyone who the voice belonged to.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

This sound is so annoying!

Wanqi Xiao stepped forward, intending to leave.

"What an impolite fellow! I kindly reminded you, but you didn't even turn around and say thank you!"

Su Tianer kicked the floor. Her once gorgeous clothes were now tattered, and it was obvious that she hadn't changed them for a long time.

Wanqi Xiao ignored her and left the palace as quickly as possible.

He really thought that this woman was a trouble. Not only was she not clear-headed, but she was also a sea king with no bottom line.

It’s interesting that Wanqi Chunxi didn’t take her away.

But he was not interested. A woman like this was too hot to handle!

The former Eighteenth Prince's Mansion was rebuilt by Wanqi Xiao, and he returned home in a hurry.

As soon as he got home, Chao Yao noticed that something was wrong with his face.

"Where did Xiao'er go just now?"

"I went to the palace, but there wasn't much to see. There were no people there, and everything had been moved out of the way."

"There aren't many people here, which means there are still people here."

"I did meet one person, but I don't want to have any contact with these people."

Chao Yao did not ask any more questions, and Wanqi Fufeng talked to him about ascending the throne.

"Now that we have attacked the imperial city, the next step is to ascend the throne. Can you choose a date?"

Wanqi Xiao knew that his father had no intention of becoming emperor, and he just wanted to live a good life with his mother.

"We have to wait a little longer. Some preparations need to be made before ascending the throne. For example, sacrificial supplies and other related preparations for ascending the throne. I don't want to build the imperial capital here. Huangwu County is a good place, and all the facilities are also perfected by us, so I want to build the imperial capital there."

"It's up to you. We will go back with you."

Wanqi Xiao felt warm from the bottom of his heart to have such parents in this life.

Wanqi Fufeng and Chao Yao were in charge of all follow-up matters in the imperial city, while Wanqi Xiao concentrated on doing his own work.

With various government affairs coming one after another, he was so busy every day that he was out of breath.

This was the first time that Chao Yao personally witnessed someone around him go from having nothing to eventually building an empire.

Watching a new dynasty being established, she was involved in every detail.

Wanqi Xiao was about to ascend the throne, and he had many things to prepare, various bronze ritual vessels being among them.

These cannot be created using magic, but must be made by professional craftsmen.

This contains the people's faith, which cannot be obtained by magic.

As a modern person, Chao Yao witnessed the production process of bronze ware with his own eyes.

The production process of bronze ware is a very complex craft that requires superb skills.

Each bronze piece is carefully designed and crafted to ensure its quality and perfection.

First, craftsmen will mix copper and tin in a certain proportion to form bronze according to the design drawings and requirements.

This ratio will vary depending on the different bronzes and needs.

Next, the mixed bronze is poured into a mold made of a refractory material in the same shape as the final bronze object.

The craftsmen then use charcoal to heat the bronze in the mold until it becomes fluid and fills the entire mold.

Next comes the cooling phase.

Bronze will shrink as it cools, so a certain amount of shrinkage needs to be allowed for.

This step is very critical. If not handled properly, it will cause cracks or deformation in the bronze.

Once cooled, the bronze object can be removed from the mold.

At this point, the surface of the bronze may still be relatively rough and requires grinding and polishing.

This step requires craftsmen to use sandpaper and grinding stones of various coarsenesses to gradually grind the surface of the bronze ware into a mirror-like smoothness.

The final step is decoration and lettering.

According to the design requirements, craftsmen will engrave various patterns and texts on the bronze ware, among which the white dragon pattern is the most common.

This step requires craftsmen to have superb carving skills and aesthetic ability to ensure the perfect presentation of the bronze ware.

In order to cast tens of thousands of bronze ritual vessels, Wanqi Xiao needed a large amount of copper and tin.

Chao Yao and Wanqi Fufeng even went to Shu Kingdom to negotiate with the King of Shu, hoping that he could provide enough copper mines.

The production of these bronze ritual vessels also requires a large number of craftsmen and technicians.

Wanqi Xiao recruited hundreds of top craftsmen from all over the country and provided them with the best working conditions and treatment. At the same time, he also established special workshops and workshops to provide craftsmen with a first-class working environment and technical support.

After three years of hard work, tens of thousands of bronze ritual vessels were finally cast.

These ritual vessels vary in shape, some are exquisite, others are majestic, demonstrating extremely high artistic value and historical significance.

Chaoyao was so moved by what she saw that she made some daily necessities by herself.

The newly made bronze ware was not actually the green color that Chao Yao often saw in museums.

In fact, newly cast bronze objects appear to be a golden color.

The bronze unearthed in later generations turned green due to rust over time and was called bronze.

Chao Yao stored all the bronze artifacts she made in the space. These were things of commemorative value to her.
