Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 178 Checking Homework

At dusk, Liu Hongjian got into the carriage with his two young wives in a kirin suit.

Watching costume dramas before time travel, Liu Hongjian was always wondering why court officials would sit in sedan chairs instead of comfortable carriages.

You must know that the sedan chair is not only slow and requires several people to lift it, but it is also wobbly, and you can't even play with your mobile phone when you sit in it.

Only after traveling through time do I realize that it’s not because of poverty!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of horses and silver, which was so short that it was appalling. The money for raising one horse was far less cost-effective than raising four bearers, and the court had express regulations.

Therefore, if the rich households on the street want to go out by car, they can only use bullock carts!
Of course, some real dignitaries are not included, such as our hero.

It was still dark, and Chang'an Street was very lively. Liu Hongjian sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and Sun Xiuxiu leaned on his shoulder. Only the more lively Yang Xue'er opened the curtains and looked at the people outside the window.

She was one of those people a few years ago.

When the car arrived at the imperial city, a servant had already led him to the Qianqing Palace.

State banquets are different from family banquets. State banquets are extremely expensive and have complicated etiquette. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, they were only held once when they first ascended the throne, and then they were cancelled. The reason is very simple, lack of money.

Oh, if the Hongmen Banquet in the middle of the year is counted, it will be twice.

Although the size of the family banquet is relatively small, the meaning it represents is quite different. Generally speaking, it is just two words - grace.

And Chongzhen even brought the crown prince and princess with him at this family banquet, even the youngest Princess Zhaoren was there. Obviously, in Chongzhen's heart, he treated Liu Hongjian as his nephew.

"The humble minister Liu Hongjian pays his respects to the emperor and empress!" Liu Hongjian brought Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue'er to salute.

"It's Chinese New Year today, Youming don't need to be too polite, come, take a seat!"

There were two small banquet tables in Qianqing Palace, one table was for Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, Princess Zhaoren, and Sun Xiuxiu.

At the other table besides Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian, there were Prince Zhu Cihong, Prince Ding Zhu Cijiong, and Prince Yong Zhu Cizhao.

"An Guohou, did you bring something fun for Zhaoren?" Princess Zhaoren, dressed in a light yellow satin jacket, ran to Liu Hongjian's side strangely.

"His Royal Highness has grown taller again." Liu Hongjian walked to Xiao Zhaoren's side with a smile.

Since Chongzhen's internal funds were full, and the food in the harem was also enriched, after more than half a year of maintenance, Xiao Zhaoren's complexion obviously improved a lot.

"Well, and then!" Zhaoren didn't take this kind of trick, stared at Hu Lingling's big eyes, and stretched out his white and clean hands.

Um, is this also the same origin? Liu Hongjian's face was dark.

It seems that there is no way!
Liu Hongjian instantly took out a pack of peppers from the ring, Wei Long's!
"What is this? I want that lollipop!" Zhao Ren took the pepper and looked at it, and found that the inside was dirty, so he missed the Alps before.

"This is delicious, Your Highness, you will know after you taste it!" Poor God saw that there were only two packs of Alps in his ring, which had already been eaten up by this glutton.

Now that he sacrificed all his collection of Weilong Latiao, he is still rejected by others, which is simply unreasonable!

Liu Hongjian carefully tore it open and handed it to Zhaoren, beckoning her to taste it.

Zhaoren took it and took out one, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Sweet!" Zhaoren frowned.

"It's still a bit spicy! But it's not too spicy!" Zhao Ren was not too satisfied, but he took it back to his seat.

Liu Hongjian looked helpless, this little guy!It's getting harder and harder to fool around!

"The concubine has seen the empress!" Sun Xiuxiu and Yang Xue walked to Queen Zhou's table and saluted again.

"Excuse me, this is the concubine of An Guohou Xinna! Come, sit down, you don't need to be polite today!"

Empress Zhou was also very happy. She had noticed the changes in the court and the palace over the past year. Empress Zhou also often called Mrs. Sun Xiuxiu, the Marquis of Anguo, into the palace.

And Yang Xue entered the palace for the first time, and the Empress Empress saw her for the first time, so she only dared to hire Tingting to salute her.

It is said that two women are equal to [-] ducks, even if you are a queen, it is unavoidable

After sitting down, before Chongzhen could speak, the queen's family members at the table began to chat about homework.

"Cihong, what has Tianyouming taught you these days?" Chongzhen signaled Liu Hongjian to start, but Liu Hongjian was naturally blunt.

"Return to Father, Master Liu taught my son seven words." Zhu Cihong replied honestly.

Just as Liu Hongjian picked up a piece of chicken, it almost didn't fall off.

You are really a sincere person, His Royal Highness, doesn't it mean that I didn't teach you well by saying that?You are a fool!
"Oh? Which seven words?" Chongzhen was not angry.

"Use follow officials, don't use Qingliu!"

“How come you see?”

"Father, my son has checked the classics. This is the policy of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Wanli Dynasty. Those who follow the officials are also good at doing things! Zhang Shoufu suggested that the ruler should choose officials who do practical things, not just judge officials by their incorruptibility. As!"

"Where are you two? What did your master teach you?" Chongzhen neither said he was satisfied nor dissatisfied, but asked King Ding and King Yong next to him.

Since the last plague incident, although there was no evidence, Chongzhen still ordered people to find two official mansions that had been sealed up in the capital, and moved King Ding and King Yong out of the palace.

"Going back to my father, my son's master is in the Pope's "The Analects of Confucius."

"My son is reading "Book of Rites" recently." Both of them replied.

Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong looked at Chongzhen after replying.

"Well, it's good to learn the principles of being a human being from the master. In the future, your brother will point you to help, let's have a meal!" Chongzhen didn't ask the two of them the specific progress, but just persuaded them to study hard.

Zhu Cizhao, who was young, had an expression of amnesty on his face, grabbed his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish for himself.

But Zhu Cijiong's face was full of disappointment. He had put a lot of effort into coming here this time. He specially consulted several masters and wrote an article in order to perform well in front of his father.

However, Chongzhen didn't give him a chance at all.

"Youming, what are you going to tell Cihong next?" Chongzhen suddenly said to Liu Hongjian.

Liu Hongjian was launching an attack on the court food in front of him, and he had to stop when Chongzhen said so.

"Your Majesty, I want to tell His Royal Highness about this next time!" Liu Hongjian took out a gift box from behind him and handed it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it suspiciously, and it turned out to be a sphere carved out of wood, on which curves similar to maps were densely drawn with various colored inks.

"This is... a map?" Chongzhen had naturally seen the Ming map drawn by the Ministry of War.

"You can say that, Your Majesty, but he has another name! It's called Globe!" Liu Hongjian said.

　Thank you book friend You Rong Nai Da for the reward of 100 coins.
