Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1001 Phoenix Driving

  Seeing how her great-grandson was stalking, the Empress Dowager had nothing to do.

  She seemed uncomfortable.

   It seems that he can guess what Zhu Houzhao is thinking.

  But Zhu Houzhao was like rolling around, which made her feel a little soft.

"Great-grandmother, this car was made by my grandson after spending several years of work and forgetting to eat and sleep. People say that if wealth and honor do not return home, it is like traveling at night in brocade clothes. The same is true for Sun Chen. If you don't show it to the empress dowager, it will cost you money." After so much painstaking effort, what's the point? My grandson just wants to win, and I want my great-grandmother to know that my grandson hasn't been messing around these past few years."

   Mrs. Zhou was a little moved, but she didn't dare to agree rashly. This is Renshou Palace, and she is the lord of the palace. Every move she makes is of great significance.

  Zhu Houzhao said again: "Great-grandmother won't go, grandson... grandson will go to the palace all day long, and accompany great-grandmother to listen to the opera."

   "Nonsense!" Zhou reprimanded him with a straight face: "You still dare to threaten Aijia?"

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly looked pitifully: "Don't dare, Sun Chen just suffered a blow later on. From now on, his ambition will be wiped out, so he has to listen to plays every day to entertain himself."

   Mrs. Zhou said coldly: "Are you worthy of your ancestors when you say such things?"

  Zhu Houzhao had a bitter face: "Great-grandmother, you go, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't go."

   He took Zhou's hand and shook it.

   Zhou felt that some of his old arms were not his own.

   "You are so grown up, yet you are still like a child!"

   "Great-grandmother..." Zhu Houzhao rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally squeezed out tears. Qi Qi Ai said: "When it comes to children, Sun Chen thinks of that **** Zhu Zaimo..."

   Mrs. Zhou sternly said: "Tiger poison doesn't even eat its young, Zai Mo is smart, respectful and tolerant, what are you scolding him for?"

   "Great-grandmother." Zhu Houzhao continued to cry.

   Mrs. Zhou sighed: "Come on, let's leave it to you."

  Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed: "The car is ready, just wait for your old man to go and have a look. This steam locomotive is much better than the opera."

   "Come on, Sun Chen will carry you out for a ride."

   "Aijia can walk by himself."

   "You are so kind to Sun Chen, and it is only right for Sun Chen to respect you."

   As he spoke, he picked up Mrs. Zhou with a groan, and said to the bewildered eunuchs beside him, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!"

  In an instant, Renshou Palace was overwhelmed.

  The biggest taboo for such things is long nights and dreams. Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry, and the carriages and horses were ready, so Zhou Shi got into the carriage, and then hurriedly let the driver set off, and the carriage drove out of Renshou Palace...

  Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, the four-wheeled carriage is really a great invention, if it weren't for it, it would still be like riding on a step in the past, and it might be robbed before leaving Renshou Palace.

  ...

  Emperor Hongzhi discussed matters with Liu Jian and others in Fengtian Hall as usual.

   What Emperor Hongzhi held in his hand was the latest Quest Journal.

  Among the periodicals, it is the Western Conquest and Rebellion.

  This article is exciting to read.

   Originally, a Zhengxi appeared rashly, and Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

  He also thought that this was Zhu Houzhao's brat again, who forged his imperial decree and issued an edict to march west.

   After reading it carefully, I realized that this is not the case. The conquest of the West and rebellion here is cultural, and does not involve the country's major policy. It is a call for scholars to go to the West and expand their territories...

   "Is this an article by Fang Qing's family and Wang Qing's family?"

"Yes." Liu Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty... the old minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with this move. So many soldiers need to land on the Golden Continent. They will obey His Majesty's order to guard the extreme west for my Ming Dynasty. Cultivating the wilderness, facing countless dangers. Fang Jifan's move is obviously to call on scholars to go with him. His intentions are quite good. Your Majesty, my great Ming conquers people with virtue and governs the world with filial piety. Virtue and filial piety, after all, cannot drag the way of the sage. Since Confucius was the author of the Spring and Autumn Period, in the past two thousand years, all dynasties and dynasties have all taken this as their purpose. These four books and five classics, the study of sages, are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty and the foundation of our country. The foundation of the foundation, the immigrants overcame the thorns and thorns, and were thousands of miles away. Why should they be loyal to the court and devote themselves to the king's life? Rely on it, isn't it the four characters of loyalty, righteousness, courtesy and filial piety? Let a group of scholars... go..."

  Liu Jian was originally talking happily.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian on the side also nodded and closed their mouths happily. Although they felt that Fang Jifan's articles were like beating someone's chicken blood, it seems that people like them who have experienced officialdom can naturally tell at a glance. The intention behind the article.

  But this does not prevent them from thinking that Fang Jifan has finally done a good thing.

  They themselves are disciples of the sages, and they firmly believe in the learning of the sages. The sage Confucius is the most sage teacher, and his knowledge cannot be wrong. Propagating holy learning, this is called the sagely learning of the past, is something to be happy about. A group of Qiuba ran to Huangjinzhou. Inside the court, there are many doubts and the cost is too high. If these people have any evil intentions Heart, how can the court make it obey.

   Now, letting a group of passionate scholars go is the best result for them. It can not only spread benevolence and righteousness, but also make immigrants return to their hearts, killing two birds with one stone.

  But Liu Jian couldn't continue speaking halfway through.

  Because Emperor Hongzhi, who had been nodding repeatedly before, looked in the direction of the northeast corner as if in a daze.

  Fengtian Temple adopts the pattern of three-sided floor-to-ceiling windows,

  Furthermore, the Fengtian Hall is one of the largest main halls in the front hall, and the foundation below is rammed extra high. Therefore, looking from Emperor Hongzhi, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery near the front hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at the northeast corner, and a team of cars hurried towards the Meridian Gate.

  He was a little confused.

  Zhen...has there been a decree for anyone to drive into the palace?

  Today...it seems not.

  But...that car...where did it come from?

  He was absent-minded all of a sudden, his eyes were still staring straight at the chariots and horses going away, and he slowly paced towards the northeast corner, and stopped under the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, he was very puzzled.

  Liu Jian and the others also noticed something strange, and surrounded them one after another. They were also a little... confused.

   "Your Majesty... Who is driving this...?"

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

   After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jing.

  Xiao Jing was also dumbfounded.

   Driving in the palace is strictly prohibited.

   Except for the two palaces, that is, the Empress Dowager and Queen Zhang, His Majesty can drive.

  Even the crown prince has to walk obediently. Other courtiers, unless His Majesty has a special order... otherwise...

  But the problem is...

  Xiao Jing looked at the suspicious Emperor Hongzhi, trembled, and bowed down: "I don't know... I don't know!"

  Emperor Hongzhi burst out with blue veins on his forehead.

  He had a bad feeling.

  Just about to say sharply: "Check!"

  But a **** came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it's not good, it's not good!"

  The word "not good" is really the finishing touch.

   All of a sudden, Emperor Hongzhi's worries were completely broken.

  Emperor Hongzhi cast a gloomy look at the eunuch.

The **** said: "The Empress Dowager, she is an old man, she has gone out of the palace. It is said that in the new city, there was a ceremony for the opening of traffic. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally presided over it. It was just these two days. In the capital, it was rumored that what kind of moving car ...The empress dowager, she left in a hurry..."

  Emperor Hongzhi was struck by lightning.

   Worrying things happen when they say they happen.

  He opened his eyes wide and stared at the eunuch: "Why didn't anyone stop him?"

   "No one dares to stop, the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness, who dares to stop!"

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing viciously.

  Xiao Jing fell to his knees with a plop.

  I said in my heart, what does this have to do with us, we have nothing to do with it.

  He hurriedly said; "I heard that there was such a thing. Yesterday, it was suddenly rumored that the railway tracks in the new city and the old city, what kind of trains are going to pass through, slaves... slaves didn't take it to heart..."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at the car team that had almost turned into black dots...

   He took a deep breath.

   Be peaceful, not angry.

  You have to be strong and live on. If you die of anger, that's good, but that wicked beast will be even more unruly.

   "Did the prince rob the empress dowager's car and drive out of the palace?"

   "No, no... the Empress Dowager went there voluntarily, saying that her great-grandson is promising and can make a moving car. If you are a great-grandmother, you should go and have a look."

  Emperor Hongzhi was anxious, and said sharply: "It's not the same, what are you doing here, what are you doing here, ready to drive, ready to drive! Take my whip, no, take the gourd, take the gourd..."

   "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, he is still a child..."

   All of a sudden, everyone was terrified.

  What is a pumpkin? From the perspective of future generations, it is a super big mallet with a melon-shaped head connected by a handle.

  Emperor Hongzhi flicked his sleeves: "Quick!"

  ...

  The starting station is here.

  All merchants are invited.

   Not only that, but Fang Jifan posted a post and invited many honorable ministers.

  Of course, the vast majority of lords and lords will not join in the fun.

   But the face of the Fang family still needs to be given, not to mention that this is a ceremony presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. Since he can't come, then often, he will let a nephew come instead of him.

  People gathered at this huge station, and there was a lot of people talking. They saw a huge monster lying quietly on the railroad tracks at this moment.

  Fang Jifan seemed very anxious, why Zhu Houzhao hasn’t come yet, this kid, it’s not a bad thing, it’s not good, don’t confess yourself…

  But thinking about it carefully, little Zhu Xiucai still has a bit of loyalty, it should be... no... he won't cheat himself.

  Wang Jinyuan was sweating anxiously: "Young master, young master, the auspicious time has come. Do you want to start the car? The auspicious time is delayed..."

   "Auspicious fart, the real Li of Longquan Temple is my nephew. I said that when it is an auspicious time, that is the auspicious time. Who dares to tell this young master that it is an auspicious time to try?"
