As soon as the emperor's questioning words came out, the courtyard was instantly silent and audible, and everyone couldn't help but look at Hua Taishi, whether it was hoping that he would be safe or expecting him to fall off the horse, they were all nervous at this time.

Hua Taishi stroked his beard and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is a minister given by the emperor to take care of his life, and he has always only known how to assist the emperor wholeheartedly, how can he be a criminal and deceive the king?" A few days ago, King Ning and several ministers praised the dog, the old man listened to it with a big heart, and naturally he would not refute it, although the dog does not like literature and martial arts, but it does not mean that the dog is a waste material! ”

Hua Taishi glanced at King Ning contemptuously as he spoke, and anyone could feel his disdain for King Ning.

King Ning's smile froze, and he sneered: "Taishi's words are interesting, if there are people who are not humanities and martial arts, they can still be called talents, then why do so many good men study hard?" Forgive this king for being lonely and unheard, and he can't understand what the master means. ”

Hua Taishi straightened his back and said slowly: "The prince is indeed lonely and unheard, there are thousands of people in this world who will learn, which can be described as innumerable. But in addition, there are still talents in the industry to make our country smooth, dare to ask the prince, the best restaurant in the capital, the best garment shop is considered a talent? Without them, how can they bring out such a momentum of the prince? Let's ask if the talents from all walks of life in the private sector are both civil and military? ”

The emperor had never heard Hua Taishi praise the people in the market so much, and he couldn't help but smile with novelty: "What Taishi said is good, it makes sense!" ”

King Ning put away his smile, looked at Taishi Hua with gloomy eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Since Taishi said so, presumably Ling Lang is good at mastering skills?" However, most of the folk skills are to support the family, but I didn't expect the Taishi to teach Ling Lang to be a civil and military all-rounder, and it seems to have a ** share. ”

Hua Taishi snorted, "Any kind of skill is worth cherishing, if there is no folk hundred flowers blooming, how can we achieve balance in this world?" With literature and martial arts alone, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? To be a human being, you must first be well fed and clothed, and you must not worry about life before you can have the strength to do other things. We assist the emperor in governing the country, and we must not despise any skill, otherwise the world will be unbalanced, and it will be too late to regret it! Therefore, as long as the dog does useful things and is willing to work hard, the old man will have a captain in his heart. ”

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what the master said was very reasonable.

King Ning narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and said provocatively: "The Taishi has always been very serious in the court, and he is also very strict in teaching the emperor to solve doubts, this king didn't expect the Taishi to be so laissez-faire to his son." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately disgusted, and couldn't help but say: "Yes, Master, I thought you were as strict with anyone as you were with me, but I didn't expect you to be a loving father at home!" ”

The word "loving father" is extremely ironic, which already means that the master favors one over the other and has no love for the emperor. Su Xueyun glanced at the reactions of the ministers, and most of them gloated, and couldn't help but feel a little unworthy of Hua Taishi. This person may be too old-fashioned, or he may be stubborn, but the Hua family has served the country for generations, and Hua Taishi has assisted two kings, worrying until he is old and declining, his hair is all white, and he has no time to teach his son. As a result, no one from the emperor to the courtiers was grateful for his kindness, and they all wanted to find an opportunity to get this old guy down. The person in power of this dynasty, Su Xueyun already understood when he saw this side, the emperor is a faint monarch, and the ministers don't have two good things, and it is really strange that King Ning's rebellion did not succeed in the original play.

Su Xueyun looked at Master Hua, only to see him salute and reply: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, and your words and deeds are related to the people of the world, so you naturally have to learn more than others." The dog is no better than the emperor, just an ordinary person, and the old minister only asks him to make some contributions to the court. This is the so-called teaching students according to their aptitude. ”

King Ning looked at Hua Taishi coldly, and said mockingly: "I haven't seen Ling Lang for so long, since Ling Lang has the talent to serve the court, it is better to show it to the emperor, and let me and other lonely and unheard people gain some knowledge." ”

Almost everyone knew that King Ning wanted to see Hua Taishi make a fool of himself, and even the emperor was accustomed to the two of them, so he immediately said: "Taishi, what talent does Ling Lang have to learn, let me see." ”

Hua Taishi arched his hand and said: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

Hua Taishi glanced back, and Hua Wenwu immediately walked to his side and respectfully saluted the emperor. The emperor couldn't wait to find out what Hua Wenwu was good at, and immediately asked him to show his talents. Hua Wenwu has been guided by Chen Xiaosheng these days, and his knowledge has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is very grateful, and he intends to help Chen Xiaosheng show his face in front of the emperor, so he asked someone to help him show it together.

The first time the emperor heard that talent could be displayed with the help of others, he became interested for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let me see what talent can make the master agree with it today." ”

The emperor always spoke subconsciously with sarcasm, which made Chen Xiaosheng and the others frown. Su Xueyun patted Chen Xiaosheng and said, using internal force to transmit the voice to the ears of several of them, "If you want to change the court, you can only do it by becoming an official in the court." It's a rare opportunity, so it's better to perform well. ”

Chen Xiaosheng nodded his head, got up and walked behind Hua Wenwu at the same time as Zhou Wenbin and Wen Zhengming, and saluted the emperor. The emperor looked at them and asked curiously, "Who are you?" I must appreciate you very much if I can invite you to his birthday banquet, but if you don't have real talent and learning, I will punish you. ”

Chen Xiaosheng smiled faintly and said, "Please rest assured that the emperor will not be disappointed today." ”

"Oh? How confident are you? That's a lot of fun. The emperor smiled and waited for them to show it, like a child watching the excitement.

Although Chen Xiaosheng was the first time to see the "emperor", the supreme person in the world, because the emperor's face was similar to someone he knew in the past, he couldn't be nervous at all. For the first time, he felt that it was good to always meet someone who hit him in the face, at least it would help him relax.

At this time, the people had already brought up the inventions of Hua Wenwu and Chen Xiaosheng, and the ministers found that they were all things they had never seen, and they couldn't help but whisper. The emperor pointed to those things with great interest and asked, "What are these?" Why have I never seen it? Is it relevant to what you're trying to show? ”

Hua Wenwu replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, these are all new gadgets invented by the grass people and their three friends. Your Majesty, please see, this thing is a waterwheel, which is different from the Kongming car in the past, it is an improved waterwheel with low cost and no manpower. As long as the drawings were distributed to the carpenters, they could be produced in large quantities and could be used by every household, without increasing the burden on the people, but making it much easier for them to cultivate the fields. ”

Chen Xiaosheng took a water pipe and a wooden pressure device, and said: "Your Majesty, if you add these two things to the waterwheel, you can extend the water pipe indefinitely, and even if the terrain is inconvenient to place the waterwheel, you can also use the water pipe to lead the water over." ”

The emperor looked at the strangely shaped waterwheel in amazement and said, "Is it really so amazing? If what you say is true, it is indeed a good thing for the people. ”

Hua Wenwu said with a smile: "The grass people will demonstrate it for the emperor." ”

They put a smaller version of the waterwheel into the basin, first demonstrated the automatic waterwheel without manpower, and then connected the water pipe, so that everyone could clearly see that the wooden pressure moved as the waterwheel rolled, and the water in the basin flowed smoothly out of the pipe. When you don't want to drink water, it's easy and convenient to simply put the hose in the water or remove the press.

The emperor was surprised, "Good! If it's really a good thing, Hua Wenwu, tell me what the other things are for? ”

Hua Wenwu then showed several semi-finished products, "Your Majesty, this thing is called cement, which can be used to pave roads, although the price is not lower than that of waterwheels, but if the roads of the country are paved, the trade between towns and cities will be greatly increased, and mutual communication will be more convenient and faster." There is also a bicycle called this thing, a person can ride it quickly, no need for horses to pull the cart, save the energy of raising horses, and store it without taking up much space, which is very convenient. And this thing......"

Zhu Xiaolian pulled Su Xueyun's sleeve a little nervously, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, how did they take out the things that were not successfully studied?" Will the emperor blame him? ”

Su Xueyun smiled at her soothingly, and said in a voice that only Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang could hear: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, those things have actually been successfully studied, but they can't be taken out at once in front of the emperor, otherwise they will be blamed for hiding good things and not thinking about serving the country." I asked the young master to prepare those semi-finished products, so that the emperor would reuse them when he had expectations for their inventions, and he would not think that the inventions were too simple and ask for many of them. ”

Zhu Xiaolian and Qiu Xiang suddenly came to their senses, and their hearts settled down, in their eyes, as long as it was Su Xueyun who said it, it must be right.

When Hua Wenwu introduced, some professional things were not explained clearly, and Chen Xiaosheng would add a few sentences. Zhou Wenbin helped to take things to demonstrate, he rode a wooden bicycle and went around, everyone could see that this thing had not been studied, the movement was slow and sluggish, and the cement and other materials still had shortcomings and were not perfect. But they have to admit that these things can be perfected, and they are still good things for the benefit of the country and the people!

Wen Zhengming had not participated in the research of these inventions before, but he was the only one among the few people who really cared about the country, and the whole person was a little excited when he saw these things. After Zhou Wenbin showed something every time, he would praise it in an impassioned tone, telling how much benefit this kind of thing would bring to the country if it could really be improved, his expression was full of expectation, full of yearning for the country to get better and better, so that the listeners couldn't help but pay more attention to these things, even the emperor felt that several of them were simply talented, and each of them was a pillar of the country.

Qiu Xiang and Zhu Xiaolian were originally afraid that they would make a mistake in front of the emperor, but they secretly let out a sigh when they saw that everything was going well. The corners of Su Xueyun's lips hooked slightly, looking at Chen Xiaosheng and the others with admiration, not to mention their three talents, even Hua Wenwu is also a genius in miscellaneous studies. Compared with them, the emperor only likes to fight crickets, watch beautiful women, and go to casinos, which can really only be said to be reincarnated.

Hua Wenwu soon introduced the last invention - the hot air balloon. Although Hua Wenwu didn't understand why Kong Ming's lantern was called a balloon when he changed the material, this was researched by Chen Xiaosheng, so he called it this name. When the emperor heard that he could actually go to the sky by riding this, his eyes lit up, and he urged repeatedly: "A few of you can show me quickly, you can fly to the sky by lighting a fire?" What if I fall or float somewhere else? What happens when the fire goes out? If I could really fly to the sky safely, wouldn't I be able to look down on my thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? I can't wait to go up and have a look. ”

King Ning had no smile on his face, and immediately dissuaded him when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, you can't do it, this kind of thing has never been seen or heard of, how can the emperor's golden body be in danger?" ”

The emperor waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't be busy, let's see if they can fly up first." ”

The author has something to say: the remaining two are more likely to be a little later and go out in the afternoon. (づ￣3￣)づ
