Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 376: Your father is jealous of Mr. Su

The capital, the palace of the King of Jin.

After carefully reviewing a lot of the knowledge that Su Jing had told at home, Zhu Fan felt that he was almost ready.

I’m going to see Su Jing!

But before meeting Su Jing, he still had to meet other people first.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, here we are."

Outside the carriage, a servant's voice sounded.

Zhu Fan slowed down and was at the gate of the palace.

Carriages and horses are not allowed inside the palace, so you have to walk to the entrance.

Entering from the palace gate and walking all the way, Zhu Fan soon arrived outside Fengxian Hall.

After the communication, Zhu Fan walked in.

"My son sees my father."

In the Fengxian Hall, Zhu Fan knelt down and worshiped Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with government affairs and said without raising his head: "Third brother, get up."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Fan stood up respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Come here now, you probably want to go to Su Jing's place."

Zhu Fan nodded and said: "Reporting to my father, I really want to ask Mr. Su for advice again, so I came to ask my father for permission."

The prince's departure from the capital is not a big deal, but it is also a small matter.

Without Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, the decision would not work.

"You're looking at my dick. You can't sit still anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed Zhu Fan's thoughts in one sentence.

"Father, son..."

"Okay, no need to explain, this is not a big deal."

Just as Zhu Fan was about to explain, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him directly.

Zhu Fan said no more and could only stand and wait silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look at the memorial in his hand, and kept giving comments with a red pen.

Except for Zhu Biao, when other sons came over, Lao Zhu gave priority to government affairs.

About half an hour had passed before Zhu Yuanzhang finished reviewing the memorial on hand.

During this period, Zhu Fan just stood silently, saying nothing and motionless.

"Third brother, when do you want to leave?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he directly asked about the departure time. Obviously, he had agreed.

Zhu Fan understood quickly and immediately replied: "It is natural to return to my father as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, walked slowly to Zhu Fan and said: "Lao San, we know that you study hard and seriously on weekdays, and your thinking is very quick. This time when you go to Su Jing's place, you must have thought about what you want to ask for advice. "

"Yes, I am ready."

Zhu Bing nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "We need you to send a message to Su Jing. Remember it."

Su Jing asked Zhu Xi to send a message to him, so he naturally asked Zhu Fan to send a message back.

Zhu Fan immediately said: "Father, please tell me, I will definitely bring you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "After you see Su Jing, tell him that I understand what he means, but the Ming Dynasty is so big that it is not easy to change. If it is just empty talk, then I will only treat it as a joke. Ming Dynasty is not Qin, and Ming Dynasty will definitely be better than Qin." country!"

Regarding "change", Lao Zhu has naturally thought seriously about it.

Liu Bowen's opinions are just opinions to him.

The changes mentioned by Su Jing, even though they proposed the development of education and science, had no practical content. For Zhu Yuanzhang, it was just empty talk.

"Yes, I understand. My father's words will be brought to Mr. Su intact."

Zhu Fan felt a little confused when he heard this.

What is change?
Why is it involving Qin again?

But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not show any doubts, he just remembered.

"Well, okay, you can go down and remember to go to your mother's place."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and after explaining the matter, he had nothing more to say.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu is very relieved about Zhu Fan, his third son. There are no problems in all aspects and he is good enough.

"Yes, royal father, my son and minister will retire."

Zhu Fan then slowly left Fengxian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang simply stretched his body and once again unveiled the cloth on the world map.

Looking at the vast sea and land, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Su Jing, Su Jing, you really make us feel itchy!"

As a heroic leader of his generation, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally could not have only the ambition to regain the Han Dynasty.

Not only to get back all the former Han family's territory, but also to expand the territory and make the Ming Dynasty's territory even larger.

Before seeing this map, Lao Zhu naturally felt that as long as he solved all the problems around the Ming Dynasty, even if he couldn't, his sons and grandsons would one day be able to fulfill their ambitions.

But now, seeing the world map drawn by Su Jing, he felt that what he wanted to accomplish was almost impossible.

The world is so vast and the sea is so far away. Let alone my son and grandson, even if I give myself another 100 years, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it.

All this is because of Su Jing, who made Lao Zhu realize the vastness of the world.

This also made Lao Zhu's once firm thoughts change.

As long as the Ming Dynasty follows its own governance methods, it can prosper for thousands of generations.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not have asked Zhu Fan to send a message to Su Jing.

Because "change" was what Lao Zhu disliked the most in the past, but now he is actively seeking change.

……

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Fan was sitting next to Queen Ma, listening to Queen Ma's chatter.

Different from the respectful and serious atmosphere in Fengxian Hall, Zhu Fan was very relaxed here at Queen Ma.

"Fan'er, I know you are always smart, and you must be very clear about Mr. Su's talent and learning. I don't need to say anything more about how to get along with Mr. Su. All I have to say is, treat him with sincerity."

Empress Ma grabbed Zhu Fan's sign language and spoke earnestly.

Zhu Fan nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, mother, I understand."

Empress Ma continued: "Fun'er, when I first met Mr. Su, I was sure that Mr. Su was an extraordinary person."

"Although Mr. Su only accepted your eldest brother and fifth brother as students, if you can consult with him alone, you will have the opportunity to become Mr. Su's real student in the future."

As Zhu Han's biological mother, Empress Ma was very concerned about him, so she naturally knew her son's thoughts very well.

Zhu Fan is very smart, so he understands many things without saying much.

This is good, but there are also some bad aspects.

Zhu Ming is carefree. Although he is not that smart, he is also slow to perceive many things and does not pay too much attention to many things.

As for Zhu Fan, who has a delicate mind, it is easy for him to overthink.

Some things, if you think about them too much, you will have different ideas.

"The sons and ministers would like to follow the teachings of the queen mother."

Zhu Fan said seriously.

Empress Ma said again: "By the way, Fan'er, did your father set a time limit for you to go to Mr. Su's place this time?"

Zhu Fan shook his head and said, "No."

Then he came to his senses and said to Queen Ma: "Mother, my second brother stayed at Mr. Su's place for three days. Is it because of my father's request?"

Before, Zhu Fan couldn't figure out why Zhu Ping only stayed for three days.

After all, there are so many things that can be learned from Su Jing's side. It can't be done in three days.

If this is Zhu Yuanzhang's request, then everything will be clear. "Yes, this is your father's request."

Queen Ma nodded.

"I see, I understand. I will come back in three days."

Zhu Yan replied.

He was smart but didn't need to say anything. He immediately understood what Queen Ma meant.

"Fan'er, you are very smart. The Queen Mother has a question for you."

Empress Ma said with a smile.

Zhu Fan immediately said: "Mom, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Empress Ma said calmly: "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask Fan'er, do you know why your father wants your second brother to stay with Mr. Su for only three days?"

Zhu Fan was slightly stunned and said: "The second brother is now the King of Qin, and his status is different. It would not be good if he is not in the capital all the time."

"That's just one of the reasons."

Empress Ma shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "There is another reason that your father is very concerned about."

Zhu Fan immediately began to think carefully, but after thinking for a while, he was still confused.

"My son doesn't know."

Zhu Fan shook his head and said.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Your father is jealous of Mr. Su."

envy?

Zhu Fan was stunned when he heard this and almost didn't react.

His father was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he was jealous of Su Jing?
Even if Su Jing is really powerful, and her talents and wisdom are far beyond ordinary people, it is not to the extent that her father would be jealous.

"Mother, my son and I don't quite understand."

Zhu Fan said to Queen Ma, his eyes full of doubts.

Empress Ma smiled and said, "Don't you think it's incredible? How can your father be jealous of Mr. Su when he is a noble man?"

"But this is indeed the case, and what makes you jealous of Mr. Su is not his talent or wealth, but you."

we?

Zhu Fan was confused again. Even though he was very smart, he still couldn't understand it now.

After all, at his age, he still cannot understand Lao Zhu's feeling of being robbed of his family.

"Mother, my son and I are stupid. I hope my mother can explain it more clearly."

Zhu Fan asked.

Queen Ma smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You will understand later."

Queen Ma didn't say the reason, but she still had to save some face for Lao Zhu.

"Yes, mother."

Zhu Fan didn't get the answer, but he didn't continue to ask.

Everything is done in moderation. This is Zhu Fan's wisest point.

"Okay, go back and get ready. Be careful on the road, Fan'er."

Queen Ma instructed.

Although I only went to Lishui County, as a mother, I am always worried and concerned.

"My son understands."

Zhu Fan nodded in agreement.

At this time, Queen Ma added: "By the way, your eldest brother, remember to go and let me know."

"My son, I will go too."

Zhu Fan agreed immediately.

After leaving the palace, Zhu Fan immediately went to the Prince's Mansion.

However, Zhu Biao is not at his own house now, but at the construction site of the Firearms Bureau.

Zhu Fan originally wanted to wait for Zhu Biao to return at the Prince's Mansion, but the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion said that Zhu Biao's food and accommodation were at the construction site, so he immediately left for the Firearms Bureau's construction site.

The carriage rushed all the way to a place about twenty miles west of the outskirts of the capital, where the Firearms Bureau was located.

At this time, the foundation of the Firearms Bureau has been basically laid, and the construction work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhu Fan got off the carriage and quickly found Zhu Biao at the construction site, where there were the largest crowds.

"Big brother."

Zhu Yan shouted.

Zhu Biao was stunned, looked at the sound, and said in surprise: "Third brother, why are you here? This is not the place to talk. You come with me."

The two immediately left the construction site and went to a room.

Zhu Fan said: "Brother, I will go to Mr. Su's place to stay for a few days soon. Queen Mother asked me to come and inform eldest brother."

"I see."

Zhu Biao said: "This is a good thing. If you go to study with Master Su, you must not let Master Su down, you understand."

The eldest brother is like father, Zhu Biao is still very majestic at this moment.

Zhu Fan replied: "Brother, don't worry, my mother and queen have already given me instructions."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Third brother, you and I can rest assured. If you go this time, remember to say hello to Master Su for me and tell Master Su that when I am finished, I will definitely go to see you."

"Yes, I remember, brother."

Zhu Fan nodded in agreement.

Zhu Biao added: "Your second brother has just been there and said that Master Su is currently dealing with matters in his store. If Master Su is not free, remember not to disturb Master Su."

Zhu Biao is still very concerned about Su Jing's situation.

"I know how to do it. If Mr. Su doesn't have time to teach me, I can just stay with Mr. Su."

Zhu Yan replied.

There is always something wrong with this person. Zhu Fan knew that he had a sudden attack in the past and did not notify him in advance, so it was normal for Su Jing to be unavailable. He had already been mentally prepared.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "That's not the case. No matter how busy Master Su is, he will always have free time every day. In other words, there is nothing so difficult that Master Su has no time."

"By the way, brother, my father asked me to bring it to Mr. Su, but I don't quite understand it."

Zhu Fan directly told Zhu Biao what Lao Zhu asked him to do.

Because Lao Zhu didn't say anything about keeping it secret at that time, and Zhu Biao was the prince and his eldest brother, he naturally told it.

"What did the emperor say?"

Zhu Biao was also a little curious about what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say to Su Jing.

Zhu Fan then repeated Zhu Yuanzhang's words to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao frowned because he didn't quite understand it. After all, he didn't know what Su Jing asked Zhu Chong to bring to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I don't understand either. Maybe you can ask Master Su directly."

Zhu Biao said to Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan nodded and said, "Well, I understand, brother, then I'll leave."

"Third brother, walk slowly."

Zhu Biao didn't try too hard to stay, after all, time was precious.

the other side.

In Su Jing's small courtyard in Lishui County, a large number of dandelions are piled on the ground and are being exposed to the sun.

Su Jing carefully spread the dandelions flat to ensure that each one could be exposed to the sun.

He is not working on any medicinal materials, but is continuing to explore homemade rubber.

He couldn't remember which book he read that dandelions were rich in natural rubber.

What he has to do now is to extract this natural rubber from dandelions.

So he immediately purchased a large number of dandelions and prepared to try to extract natural rubber.
