golden scales

In June of the third year of Longjing, the weather in Beijing was at its hottest, and even wearing unlined clothes felt dry and hot.

Zhu Cihong had someone dig a swimming pool fifteen feet long and three feet wide. The inside should have been made of white marble or marble, but His Majesty the Emperor is used to frugality, so he only plastered the inner layer with cement and then tiled it. thing.

Chongzhen was very afraid of water, and even more afraid of his son playing with water. More than one emperor died because of Daming drowning.

Zhu Cihong firmly believes that swimming is the best way to release stress, but because of insufficient conditions, there is no other way.Moreover, such a hot day is really not suitable for other sports. In case of a cold, it will be offended.

"Daddy, I want to go into the water too." Zhu Hegui, who was sitting by the pool, was very envious and shouted from time to time.But every time he yelled, he would be held down by his nervous mother's shoulders, for fear that he would jump down regardless.

Duan was equally resistant to the emperor's hobby, but seeing her husband toss and sprint in the water like a big fish, made her envious.

"Yeah!" The second son Zhu Heqi is already three years old, and he has not learned to speak, which makes people very worried.He can walk smoothly now, but he is still hugged by a wet nurse in a dangerous place like a swimming pool.Update [-] He Dang cut the candles in the west window together Duan turned his head to look at the excited second son, stroked his stomach lightly, and prayed in his heart: this time, let's be a princess.

The two sons really couldn't control it.Especially now that the eldest son is seven years old, he is at the age when he has his own ideas, and even learned to use his status as the crown prince to force others to submit - once he brought this habit in front of Mrs. Fafang has restrained a lot.

Duan's mind was distracted, his hands suddenly slipped, only a thud was heard.But the eldest son had already jumped into the water.

Zhu Cihong's breaststroke was learned from the city's champion swimmer in his previous life, and he is considered top-notch among swimmers, so he was not worried that his son would have an accident in this one-foot-deep pool.He also thought about building a doll pool for his two sons, but he finally gave up the idea because of the cost.

Zhu Hegui suddenly realized that the water was not as easy as he imagined, and his little arms and legs couldn't split the waves like his father.Ride the waves.He couldn't even straighten his back.The splashed water rushed into the nose and mouth, and there was a sharp pain in the nasal cavity.

"Hurry up and save the crown prince!" Duan stood by the pool in horror and shouted.

No matter how well the emperor swam, there were still many recruited fishermen standing by the pool.The task of these fishermen is to keep an eye on the swimming emperor.Jump into the water to rescue them if something happens-of course, they haven't waited for the opportunity so far.Update [-] He Dang Cut the West Window Candle together Facing the opportunity created by the crown prince with his life, these unqualified lifeguards were about to enter the water one after another, but they were stopped by a majestic voice.

"Don't worry about him!" Zhu Cihong stood upright in the water, the waterline was only on his abdomen.It can be seen that the water quality is good.

Duan almost cried out.

Zhu and Gui were still thumping, splashing a lot of water.

Zhu Cihong knew that the real drowning person was actually floating sluggishly in the water, and his mouth and nose might even stay out of the water, very peaceful.Those who still have the strength to thump like their son don't need to worry too much.He dived into the water leisurely, raised his waist and hips from behind his son, and sent his son out of the water.

Joo and Kyu's heads just came out of the water.He spit out the residual water choked in the trachea, hugged his father's neck, and burst into tears.

"Quick, take a quick breath." Zhu Cihong shouted.

Zhu and Gui didn't know why, and there were tears in their eyes.Still, he managed to take a deep breath of air.Before he could store the breath of air in his lungs, the emperor's father, with a smile on his face, dived into the water.

Zhu Cihong likes to swim in deep pools. In her previous life, she liked the five-meter-deep diving pool the most.Because water storage is really a problem in this era. It is necessary to ensure that the water quality is clean, but also to fill such a large pool, and the laying of pipelines is too huge, so it can only be done with a three-meter pool.

When Duan saw her husband plunge into the water with her son, she almost fainted from fright.If there was a good or bad thing, was it an accident or a murder?Even if you are dissatisfied with the crown prince, it's fine if you abolish it. Is it necessary to drown yourself!

"Emperor! Come out!" Standing by the pool, Duan's hair was shaking and she almost jumped up.

The attendants around had never seen the queen lose her composure like this, and they all dared not move like wooden stakes.

Whether it's the one in the water or the one by the pool, they can be crushed to death with a flick of a finger.

Zhu Cihong finally emerged from the middle of the pool with a smile on his face.

Zhu Hegui took another sip of water, coughed and cried, shouting to go ashore.

"Throw away the sheepskin bag!" Duan said anxiously.

In the era when rubber trees still grew in South America, the materials for life-saving appliances were very narrow, and the more common ones were gourds and inflatable sheepskin.Several whole sheepskins can be woven into rafts after being inflated, which is the main means of transportation for the people in Shanshan and Shanxi to cross the Yellow River.

Although Zhu Cihong is sure that he doesn't need it, there is a need that his parents think you need.

There are always five or six inflatable sheepskins in the swimming pool. It can be said that every time the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Queen come, people will have to prepare one more.

"No, it's fine." Zhu Cihong stopped his movements by the pool, and said to his son, "Take another breath."

Zhu Hegui cried even louder, shaking his head again and again, the drops of water and tears all over his head and face were mixed together.

"One, two, three! Let's go!" Zhu Cihong counted three times, and regardless of whether his son was holding his breath, he grew tall and plunged into the water again.

This time, the time to come out was shorter, and Empress Duan's heart palpitations were much better.

Zhu Hegui drank a few mouthfuls of the spring water from Yuquan Mountain this time, and when the water came out, he had no strength to cry, and just hugged his father tightly.

Seeing that his son's mood had stabilized, Zhu Cihong supported his chest and abdomen, and began to teach him to use his waist and push his legs into the water.

If it weren't for Duan's status as a queen, she would almost collapse on the ground.

"Throw down a sheepskin bag." Zhu Cihong shouted at the desk.

Immediately, two fishermen slipped into the water and swam over pushing the inflatable sheepskin—who would dare to really throw it?

Zhu Cilang supported his son, and said: "Qiuguan, put your hands on the sheepskin bag, and kick the water first like this."

Zhu and Gui followed their words and found that they could really swim in the water with the power of kicking water.

While watching him kicking in the water, Zhu Cihong helped him take off his wet clothes, and shouted at the pool, "Throw Jiage down."

Duan was startled suddenly, rushed to the youngest son's nurse, snatched Jia Geer who was applauding, and ran out with her head buried, complaining to Qianqing Palace.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong was also helpless, and asked Qiuguan to practice kicking along the edge of the pool, and continued to swim back by himself.

In fact, Lu Suyao had already arrived, she just stood outside the bamboo wall of the swimming pool and watched, and waited until the emperor came out of the water, wiped off the water on her body, and put on a green gauze singlet before she came forward to greet her.

"Your Majesty, the Zuo Zongren, His Royal Highness King Jin, seeks an audience." Lu Suyao said briefly.

"Oh? Did you make an appointment before?" Zhu Cihong didn't have the slightest impression, and he couldn't think of anything that King Jin would rush into the palace to ask for an audience.

Lu Suyao shook her head lightly, and asked, "Wei Chen asked him to go back first?"

Zhu Cilang took a sip of the tea and said, "Let him come over, I happen to be resting too."

Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan was the clan of Conglong Yougong.Back then when he sponsored the crown prince in Shanxi, he not only emptied his family, but also took out all the family assets of the county kings of the same clan.

Although there are suspicions of coercion, both family affection and etiquette are perfect.Therefore, after the slaughter of the vassals, the Jin Wangfan, from the prince to the county king, and even the general of the town, etc., were intact, and even received compensation and resettlement after the restoration of Shenjing.

Now Zhu Shenxuan is serving as Zuo Zongren in Beijing, handling family affairs for the emperor, while the eldest son returned to his hometown in Taiyuan and presided over the affairs of the vassal state - in fact, it is only housework.Other clan members of the Jin clan took back their mansions and a small amount of land.

Because all the family members' salaries have been dismissed, their source of livelihood is only the dividends converted from the previous land and family property.

Today's economic aggregate is not large, but it is enough to allow them to live a decent life, but it is not as extravagant as before.

When Zhu Shenxuan saw the emperor, he was about to perform the royal ceremony, when Zhu Cihong raised his hand and said, "Sit down, King Jin."

Zhu Shenxuan had no choice but to bow and thank his seat, and sat down next to the bamboo couch.

"What's the reason for Jin Wang's visit this time?" Zhu Cihong asked, while glancing at the crown prince who was still having fun in the water.

"Your Majesty, I came here to fight the autumn breeze." Zhu Shenxuan smiled apologetically.

Zhu Cihong remained calm, waiting for him to speak.

Zhu Shenxuan suddenly realized that what he said was very similar to those clansmen who came to cry, coughed awkwardly, and said: "Actually, King Jing wanted to raise a sum of money from the clan to build a ship, and go there America."

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised: "This is a good thing, why didn't King Jing come and tell me?"

Zhu Shenxuan glanced at Lu Suyao who was standing beside him, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, King Jing has already handed over a few forms."

Zhu Cihong nodded, and said: "I know, he said he wanted to go to the palace to pay his respects, but I said no. He did a good job in the errands in northern Europe, and it is also his credit to be able to recruit scholars and profound scholars from the local area to return to Daming. The books he brought back are also very discerning. I thought he was going to soak up Western learning, so why did he think of going to America?"

The King of Jing, Zhu Hezhi, volunteered to go to Northern Europe to give Descartes an award, so he won the title, and finally became the King of Jing from the son of King Jing.As set in the original historical script, when he arrived in Stockholm, Descartes had died of illness for less than half a year.So in line with the tradition of inheriting his father's business, Zhu Hezhi made every effort to find Descartes' widow-and found that he was not married.

Just when Zhu Hezhi decided to return to China, he heard that Descartes had an illegitimate daughter.

In Europe, illegitimate children have no status, but in China, illegitimate children can be accepted by the clan, but this illegitimate daughter was finally proved to be a fake.

Descartes' real illegitimate daughter died young.
