back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 311
"Sister, why are you leaving so soon? Didn't you say you want to buy rouge powder?" Beside the incense sedan chair, the maid who was a little out of breath following the pace of the bearer asked in confusion.

A soft voice came from the sedan chair, and said softly: "It's nothing... I just suddenly remembered that there is still some rouge and gouache left, so I'll buy it after I use it up..."

As soon as this gentle and soothing tone came out, the bearers who were in their prime of life almost coaxed their bodies to soften.What kind of a natural obsessive person is able to achieve such a level?No wonder he didn't even need to show his face, but all the romantics in Chang'an City could bow down under his pomegranate skirt.

In the fragrant sedan chair, that alluring face was still covered with a gauze scarf.Thinking of the moment when he met Lu Chengqi just now, that lovely man felt depressed, thinking that he had killed another man, a trace of self-pity flashed in his clear eyes.

She has been charming since she was a child, and since she was sensible, she was raised by the old bustard of Huayuelou, who taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and lived with rare goods.When she was 15 years old and Ji, the day she came out of the pavilion, the whole Chang'an City was a sensation, everyone said that Chang'an City had another Su Xiaoxiao.

Yu Linglong's fame, under the hype of Huayuelou, made her the oiran of the previous year with her wish fulfilled, and her fame has surpassed that of the eternally famous green pearl.Nowadays, the romantic guests who come to Huayue Tower every day come for Yu Linglong's beautiful name.And Yu Linglong only played three pieces of music every day, even if she wanted to pay more money, it would be a waste of effort to listen to one more piece.What's more amazing is that Huayue Tower has also set up a limit on the number of people entering the venue. Those who can enter Huayue Tower to see the beauty are all wealthy people, which makes Huayue Tower earn a lot of money.

Generally speaking, Yu Linglong doesn't play outside.Being able to come to Hefeng Tower this time is also due to fate.It's all because Yu Linglong likes to eat Hefenglou's food and wine, and she once promised to play a song for Hefenglou as a token of her affection.The anecdote of Hefenglou is naturally desirable, but the time for Yu Linglong's visit is undecided, and the shopkeeper of Hefenglou can only keep publicizing it.It's just that the publicity has been going on for a long time, and the customers gradually don't believe it, and the number of customers in Hefeng Building has dropped a lot.Who knew that Yu Linglong would suddenly arrive today!
Lu Chengqi also wanted to come to Hefenglou for lunch by accident, and happened to meet Yu Linglong who was erratic, so he was lucky enough to see her face.It's just that this kind of luck made him uneasy, and it took a lot of effort to drive Yu Linglong's intoxicating appearance out of his mind.

In the fast-moving carriage on the road, Zhang Zai was very surprised to see Lu Chengqi's restless appearance.Ever since he met Lu Chengqi, has he ever seen such an irritable little emperor?But it was inconvenient for Zhang Zai to ask why.Fortunately, not long after, Lu Chengqi had already adjusted his state, which made Zhang Zai heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing Zhang Zai looking at him all the time, Lu Chengqi knew that his actions could not escape his eyes, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Why does Zihou keep looking at me like this?"

Zhang Zai asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Lu Chengqi smiled casually and said, "What can I do? It's just that the thought of the new warship makes my heart itch, I just want to see it sooner."

Zhang Zai knew that the little emperor liked new warships, but judging from Lu Chengqi's expression, it seemed that what he said didn't match the irritability he just showed, but looked like a male dog in heat and heat. Same.

Naturally, Zhang Zai did not dare to expose the little emperor's lies, but said cautiously: "The new warship is still under study, and the models His Majesty said are still being tested."

Lu Chengqi nodded. This is because he specially called Shen Kuo and Su Song, and ordered to build a model first, measure various data, and then formally build it.Not to mention that the new warships are still on the blueprints, even Dashun's existing docks cannot build such large ships.The dock where the huge dragon boat was built before was not suitable for building this new type of warship.

"I didn't expect Zihou to learn such professional terminology in just a few days. He is indeed a great sage of the age!" Lu Chengqi joked, and Yu Linglong's influence gradually dissipated under his firm willpower go.

Zhang Zai's old face blushed, and he said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, don't kill Zihou. Zihou only knows now that a craftsman has profound knowledge in it. He was persuaded by Fan Xiang to study hard. But only read "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Spring and Autumn", and neglect the others. Now that I understand the truth, as long as it is a thing, it contains its fixed way. The sage Laozi said, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature. This craftsman is not a kind of way, a kind of nature!"

Lu Chengqi was greatly surprised, Zhang Zai's comprehension was so powerful.This is the truth that many great Confucians in the Ming and Qing Dynasties never understood, but was actually understood by a great Confucian who was hundreds of years earlier than them.But think about it, first of all, Dashun's ideological trend is relatively new, and various theories have been published in books. From this point of view, there is a gap between the Ming and Qing dynasties who used stereotyped essays to select scholars and imprisoned literati's thinking.Furthermore, Zhang Zai is intelligent, eager to learn, and knows how to reflect on himself. It is not surprising that he understands such principles by analogy.

Lu Chengqi sighed: "Zi Hou is such a great talent, it would be a pity if I didn't use it. Why don't I give you the same background as Jinshi, and you will be appointed secretary and provincial editor, so how about writing books and biography full-time?"

The Secretary Province is a central institution dedicated to managing the national collection of books since the Eastern Han Dynasty.Dashun is different from the Song Dynasty in the official history. There is no Taishi Bureau, and the compilation of history books is included in the Secretary Department.The function of the Taishi Bureau to observe astronomy has been assigned to the Qin Tianjian. In the Song Dynasty in the official history, it was called Sitianjian. It is actually the same nature, so the Taishi Bureau will not be established again.

When Zhang Zai heard this, he quickly postponed: "Zihou is now in his forties, and he has reached the age of forty. How can he enter the officialdom again? If it was in the past, Zihou agreed, but now Zihou only wants to be in the imperial university. Teaching and educating people, if you have time, you will write a book and write a biography, Your Majesty doesn't have to spend so much time on Zihou."

When Lu Chengqi was about to say something, the carriage had already slowed down and stopped. He opened the curtain and saw that he had already arrived outside the gate of the Royal University.Lu Chengqi pondered for a while, and said: "There is no need to shirk this matter, I have my own plans. By the way, the Fan Xiang you mentioned just now is Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of Huang Kao?"

Zhang Zai nodded, and Lu Chengqi sighed upon seeing this: "It's a pity that I don't use it."

After they got out of the carriage, the inspector who was in charge of running the road hurriedly pulled the carriage away, because the next carriage was coming soon.At this time, there is no synchronous communication tool, and the operation of the carriage can only be controlled by precisely arranging the carriage running table.Otherwise, the carriage rear-end collision is no joke.Although this new carriage is equipped with a hardwood brake device according to the invention of the students of the Royal University.But when the carriage is running at high speed, who can guarantee that the horse can be restrained and the carriage can be stopped?
