Chapter 202 Gongshujia’s domineering mechanical skills!
“Student Liu Ming, greetings to the teacher!”

“Teacher, I’m here to see you!”

A moment later, the two princes were led into the main hall of Tongxi Hall.

Just from the way they greeted each other, you can tell their personalities.

The second prince, Liu Ming, was wearing a light blue Confucian robe.

At the age of eighteen this year, he has already developed a lofty literary spirit and entered the first realm of Confucianism.

This talent is not to say that it is outstanding.

It can be considered as an above average appearance.

The third prince, Liu Zheng, was dressed in tight clothes. He was sixteen years old and had already reached the seventh level of body forging.

His talent in martial arts is even greater than the second prince’s talent in Confucianism.

“sit down!”

Jia Cong’s attitude towards the two was neither close nor distant, and he treated them equally with the eldest prince.

Regarding the master-disciple relationship between the two.

Didn’t say much.

In fact, he has reached Jia Cong’s position.

It won’t be that important who will be the emperor in the future.

The royal family’s attitude towards Jia Cong is no longer something that the emperor can decide alone.

……

“Teacher, I came here this time because I have a treasure to present to you!”

After chatting for a while, I saw that Jia Cong looked a little impatient.

It’s almost like serving tea to see the guests off.

Liu Ming quickly stood up and spoke, then waved to the door.

“Bring the stuff in!”

Upon hearing this, the two guards brought by Liu Ming hurriedly carried in a box from outside.

Liu Ming stepped forward and opened the box.

But it is a beast-shaped puppet.

The array patterns above were flowing, and Jia Cong glimpsed them with his divine eyes.

He actually has the strength of the peak of the third realm!
“This is a mechanical puppet that my student bought at a high price. I am presenting it to you today!”

“It only takes a drop of blood to refine it.”

……

“Second brother, what’s the point of giving me a puppet?”

“Let’s be practical.”

“Quick, bring over the gift I prepared for the teacher.”

The third prince Liu Zheng muttered something and shouted to the outside.

A shadow immediately appeared outside Tongxi Hall.

Golden light shines in through the door.

“Teacher, I am a rough man and I don’t understand their flowery ways.”

“I melted 30,000 taels of gold and built a mountain of gold for you. It will be placed in your garden. How magnificent it is!”

Liu Zheng said proudly, pointing to the golden rockery outside.

It was not until this moment that Jia Cong understood why Yuanyang’s tone sounded a little strange when he spoke just now.

“I’m determined!”

After all, it was the other party’s intention, Jia Cong nodded indifferently.

……

“Cong’er, have the three princes finished reading it?”

After Liu Ming and Liu Zheng left, Baochai and Miaoyu came out from the back hall.

Chuckling, he looked at the golden mountain outside.

“This Third Prince is also a wonderful person. Who would give him a mountain of gold as a gift?”

“Even if I want to show off…”

Baochai shook her head as she spoke.

“That’s true. The first and second princes obviously have powerful forces behind them. Only the third prince has only the Kaiyuan lineage behind him.”

“But the Kaiyuan family is the confidant of the retired emperor, and it is impossible for them to fully support him.”

“I can only play dumb and pretend that I know nothing, while doing my best to prepare a gift for Cong’er.”

“It can also paralyze the other two.”

……

“I never thought that none of these three people would be easy to deal with…”

Jia Cong took out the statue of Medicine Buddha given by the eldest prince and rubbed it with his hands.

I recalled what Zhen Yingjia had said outside the Zhen family mansion.

“It seems that in the fourth realm, these statues containing incense are also extraordinary treasures.”

“The eldest prince has a loyal character? And he is not good at scheming?” Jia Cong shook his head. Today’s events were undoubtedly another wake-up call for Jia Cong.

Never underestimate anyone.

Who could have thought that the eldest prince, who was not favored by all the ministers, could actually come up with such a treasure.

To be precise, how could such a Buddhist treasure be obtained by a prince who had little hope of becoming the crown prince?

The meaning behind this is really intriguing.

“A show of goodwill? A demonstration?”

“Buddhism has been silent for hundreds of years since the founding of the country, and now it is suddenly involved in the struggle for succession…”

“Do you think Emperor Shunde knows about this?”

Jia Cong raised his head and looked at the two of them.

“My uncle has been focusing on the other two people these years. How could he have the time to pay attention to his own son?”

“It is also possible that the Buddhist sect only contacted Liu Qin after the proposal to establish a crown prince was reported in the past month?”

“Using Liu Qin to send this Buddha statue to you in order to get closer to Cong’er?”

Miaoyu spoke up to help analyze it.

Hearing this, Baochai covered her mouth and chuckled.

“In that case, it’s all in vain.”

“Cong’er is still smart!”

“Sister Bao is right. Since it is a treasure given by the eldest prince, what does it have to do with Buddhism?”

Jia Cong also responded with a smile.

Unlike the Buddhist and Xuanmen Taoist sects, the several Xuanmen sects that established Taoist temples were more about expanding their influence.

Collecting incense and cultivating supernatural powers is just a side job. Although it is important, it is not something that cannot be abandoned.

Buddhism built many temples, and many of their magical powers were closely related to the power of incense.

It is absolutely impossible to give up.

But to Jia Cong, worldly rights don’t matter.

But believers and worshippers are the foundation for the advancement of Shinto.

Sooner or later, the two families will come into conflict.

When the eldest prince took out the treasure just now, Jia Cong guessed that it was a faction of Buddhism who gave it away through him.

But he simply played dumb and let the eldest prince propose conditions.

In this way, the deal with the eldest prince was reached and the benefits were received.

This matter has nothing to do with Buddhism.

……

“It’s obvious that this puppet was made by Gongshu’s domineering mechanical arts. It has the strength of the peak of the third realm. It’s a big deal.”

“The value cannot be described in silver.”

Miaoyu picked up the mechanical puppet given by the second prince.

After taking a look, he put it down.

The peak of the third realm, if placed outside, might already be an extremely precious combat force.

But to Jia Cong, it was no longer important.

Miaoyu took this opportunity to quietly approach Jia Cong in a way that made him more approachable.

“Cong’er, did you accept Gongshujia because you thought he might be useful in the future?”

……

“Although the Gongshu family has long been incorporated into the Confucian and Taoist traditions, it has always been a family tradition.”

“I have been suppressed by the Mohist School for these years and I can hardly hold my head up.”

“In the future, the development of Shintoism cannot be limited to Daqian.”

“Compared to the Mohists, the Gongshuists are easier to conquer.”

Jia Cong nodded, no need to hide anything in front of Baochai and Miaoyu.

“Sister Bao, you should refine the incense power in this Buddha statue first. It should be able to help you break into the middle stage of the fourth realm.”

After chatting, Jia Cong handed the Medicine Buddha statue in his hand to Baochai.

Then he said to Miaoyu.

“Sister Miaoyu, next time I find this kind of treasure, I will refine it for you to improve your strength.”

“I’m not in a hurry, Cong’er…”

Miaoyu shook her head, not feeling the slightest bit unbalanced.

Originally, it was Baochai who arrived first.

It is only natural that Baochai should be the first to refine it.

“Brother Cong, are you back?”

“Yeah, what is this?”

At this moment, Daiyu’s scream suddenly came from outside Tongxi Hall.
