At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 238 A Competitive Machine

Forbidden City, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Cao Nai returned to the office with several memorials in his arms, moaning again and again.

Zhang Yi asked, "Why is Mr. Cao sighing?"

"His Royal Highness is not here today, what's the matter..."

For several days in succession, there was no one in the Wenhua Palace, and the cabinet's official memorials had piled up like a mountain, and I didn't know what to do.

At the very beginning, Zhu Qiyu finished the morning court and then ran away.

It's good now, I don't go to the morning court, and I just disappear.

Zhang Yi was also very helpless, and said, "Then go see the emperor directly!"

Cao Nai took a sip of tea and said, "Just now, I have already been there, but the emperor has been tinkering with the machine for striving for success in the Ciqing Palace, and he doesn't even look at it, just let the cabinet decide. Such a joke? This is really... really..."

How could there be such a reason, so I resisted not to say it.

If this kind of thing is placed on someone with ulterior motives, I will be secretly happy.

If the emperor doesn't care about things, then I have the final say?

However, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were not that kind of people. Although they were a bit rigid in their daily life, their loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable.

Of course, if these two dared to change their minds, it would be impossible for Zhu Qizhen to entrust them with important national affairs.

The problem now is that, after the two discuss about general matters, they will decide.

But it is different now, the New Deal has been fully rolled out, and many memorials have been submitted, and the two find that... they don't understand!

All over the country, scholars, farmers, commerce and industry are in full bloom, and many novel gadgets have appeared.

As cabinet ministers, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were actively searching for information and asking people to inquire at the beginning, and at least they could cope with it, but it became more and more difficult as time went on.

At this time, the two began to miss Yu Qian.

At the beginning, Yu Qian was the first to accept the New Deal, and the two scoffed at it, but now they found that he was right.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Ting Yi go to the imperial examination team..."

The two sat here and stared at each other for a long time, Zhang Yi said: "It's not an option to go on like this, it's better... let's go see the emperor!"

Cao Nai nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The courtyard of Ciqing Palace has been transformed into a steam engine experiment site.

At first, Zhu Qizhen chose the Imperial Garden as the venue, but later found it inappropriate because there were too many female relatives in the harem, and it was inconvenient for craftsmen to come and go.

After thinking about it, the location of Ciqing Palace is not bad.

Ciqing Palace is the East Palace. It is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City. It has a single courtyard and a quiet place.

It's just that Zhu Jianshen is pitiful, as the crown prince of Ming Dynasty, he doesn't have his own palace...

"emperor!"

When Zhu Qizhen turned around, seeing the two of them, he said, "You two lovers, why are you interested in visiting the steam engine today?"

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other, and then said: "Your Majesty, state affairs are of the utmost importance, this, this... fight, fight..."

"It's a steam engine!"

"That's right, this machine of striving for success is left to the craftsmen. Now that the New Deal has just started, and there are constant reports from various places, the old minister feels powerless. Please ask the emperor to preside over the overall situation!"

Zhu Qizhen said casually: "Isn't there King Tan here?"

Cao Nai had no choice but to truthfully say: "King Qi...has not gone to court for several days..."

Zhu Qizhen frowned: "That's right, King Yi has already set off, why did I forget about this!"

Cao Nai didn't understand, and asked, "Let's go...where?"

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, then said with a wrench in his hand, "Go to Fengtian Hall and wait first, I will come over as soon as I finish this experiment!"

Cao Nai was overjoyed, the emperor finally got to do business!
"Old minister obeys!"

"By the way, call the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War. If Yu Qian is not here, who is in charge of the work?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Liu Jue, the servant of the left!"

"Call him up too... Then whoever, Belin, let's start, pay attention to record data!"

Cao Nai was a little puzzled, we are urging you to go to the palace to do business, why did you call the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War?
The two of them saw the steam in front of them, making rumbling noises, so they had to get up and leave.

Soon, Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Jue, the left servant of the Ministry of War, came to the hall according to the imperial edict.

Zhang Yi asked cautiously: "Mr. Cao, listen, is it in the direction of the East Palace?"

Cao Nai was getting older, and his reaction was relatively slow. After trying to identify it for a long time, he said, "It seems...not good, the emperor is in danger!"

Kuang Ye wondered, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Cao Nai was so angry that he slapped his thigh straight: "The emperor is playing with that winning machine!"

"What kind of fighting machine? Mr. Cao, your words are becoming more and more profound now..."

"Abstruse fart, go and see the emperor!"

Several people were walking out in a panic, when they saw Zhu Qizhen walking in with a disheveled face.

Belin, who was still following Qin Tianjian, was even more embarrassed, her hair was burnt, and several big holes were burned in her clothes.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This failure is mainly due to the lack of toughness of the steel. At least, the problem of airtightness has been solved, which is considered a big improvement."

"What annoys me is not the failure of the experiment, but you people. The first-hand experimental data is so important. When something goes wrong, you record it quickly so that you know how to improve it. Everyone rushes on me, trying to crush me to death. ?"

"The minister is worried about the emperor's dragon body..."

"What kind of body is the dragon? Dragon body, I'm very good. You don't need to worry about it. Remember next time, if something goes wrong, collect data as soon as possible. You know, the first-hand information in the experimental stage is very important!"

"I've made a note of it!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and saw the four stunned ministers, and said: "All the ministers are here, well, let's get down to business!"

The four of you look at me and I look at you, all of them are a little confused.

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were trying to persuade the emperor to do less outlandish things and do more serious work, but they don't know why the emperor called the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

As for Kuang Ye and Liu Jue, they were suddenly ordered to go to the palace without knowing what happened.

At this time, another person came to the hall, Cao Nai looked back, and it turned out that it was Tang Xinggu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

During this period of time, Tang Xinggu has been in the limelight. At the beginning, everyone was disgusted with him, thinking that he would do anything for the sake of power, like a mad dog, whoever catches someone who sprays them might be bitten one day.

Later, I slowly discovered that, in fact, this guy just found the right direction, that is, the emperor's lackey.

As long as you fight against the emperor, he will bite you.

On the contrary, as long as you obey the emperor's will, he will never touch you.

After a long time, everyone will gradually get used to it.

It's just that I don't know why the emperor called this person here...

"Chen Tang Xinggu kowtows to see my emperor, long live!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, everyone, come forward!"

Led by Cao Nai, five people approached, and what was placed in front of them was a map.
