The Queen Mother, who hadn't asked much questions, spoke: "Lord Rui, just now you said that you went by boat, from the river or the sea?" ”

"It's the sea, the vast and boundless sea." The prince's answer didn't seem to hesitate at all, he couldn't hesitate, and the impression that the queen mother was made up was passive. The Queen Mother also seemed to ask casually, and she didn't mean to find fault. Fu Jin sweated for the prince, and the prince rarely told lies, unless it was a last resort. Today, the Queen Mother is picking bones in eggs, no matter how honest and benevolent the prince is, he will not follow her as promised. People in Buddhism are required not to lie or gossip, but if it is done according to the book, it will be a monstrous disaster. For example, if she told her that she was going to the afterlife for 200 years, would she believe it? will definitely say that the prince is alarmist and has ulterior motives.

"Oh, are there many other ships on the sea that go from the sea?"

"Not much, occasional encounters."

"How many days have you been on the road?"

"The boat will travel quickly, probably in a month or so."

"Is the ship big? Are you seasick? ”

"The ship is huge, with cabins for people and places to put cargo. Yun'er was seasick, but fortunately, she was young and in good health, and she was dizzy at first, and then she got used to it. ”

"It seems that you have brought a lot of things, just six boxes of gifts for the palace and the emperor, and some for relatives and friends, and family members, right?"

"Yes, I went out all the way and brought back most of the things that we didn't have in the Qing Dynasty."

"Can you tell me?" The queen mother is in hot pursuit, the emperor is a little angry with his mother, and he is not checking the household registration, what people buy with their money, asking so much for what? Just said: "Huang Eniang, you asked too carefully, right?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed: "E-niang is not covetous of your second brother, she is curious." The gifts to our mother and son are all so novel. ”

The prince said: "In addition to bringing back a little gift for everyone, we also brought back a little cloth, seeds, daily groceries, a little stationery, handicrafts and so on. Most of them are used to get by. "It is impossible for the prince to tell the Queen Mother exactly the truth, but it can't be all false. He knew that there would definitely be the Queen Mother's eyeliner in the house, and hiding too much would really make the Queen Mother suspicious.

For the daily groceries and other groceries that the prince said, the emperor and the queen mother are all ducks listening to thunder, and the handicrafts are still a little clear.

The Queen Mother suddenly said: "The weapons over there are also better than ours, right?" ”

The emperor's face turned cloudy at that time: "What do you mean, Huang Eniang?" Do you suspect that the royal brother has gone out to recruit troops and buy weapons? They still remember to buy so many gifts for our mother and son......"

The Queen Mother hurriedly explained: "E-Niang, why did you say that your imperial brother went out to recruit troops and buy horses?" E-Niang means, if your imperial brother has seen that the weapons on other people's side are better than ours in the Qing Dynasty, buy a few and come back, let's do it, and you will have to worry about eliminating Zheng Jing's son earlier, right? ”

Fu Jin hurriedly came out to play a round: "Yes, yes, the Queen Mother's idea is right, and she didn't say anything wrong with my prince, just ask about weapons." However, my prince is a member of Buddhism, and the most taboo thing is to kill, isn't buying weapons to help people kill? "Well blocked.

The prince smiled and said: "The queen mother, the emperor, the weapons over there are very different from our Qing Dynasty, people are called **, we won't let it go, the little antiques brought by the minister are all used to buy weapons and can't afford to buy half of them." Moreover, the weapons on the other side's side are controlled very strictly, and they are not allowed to flow into the people at all. The prince's words were quite reasonable, and the queen mother immediately died down.

Just now I objected to my mother talking about weapons, and as soon as I heard what the prince said about cold weapons, the emperor came to the spirit, sat up straight with his waist and asked: "What do you mean by **?" Are we using cold weapons? ”

"That's right, our weapons are broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and most of them are knife-to-knife fights. The red-coated cannon is the **, but the ** on the foreign side is not only the artillery, but also missiles, atomic bombs and whatnot, and the lethality is quite large. If the two countries go to war now, there will be a nuclear war. When the prince said this, he actually wanted to scare the queen mother, but the emperor has become a curious baby:

"Brother Huang, what is nuclear war?" It was the first time the emperor had heard such a word.

The Queen Mother's attention also attracted the prince, and she leaned forward.

"Tell me how the nuclear war will be fought over there? What are the weapons used? "The emperor also asked about weapons.

"In general, there are two kinds of weapons over there, one is called conventional weapons, that is, guns and cannons, and the other is nuclear weapons, called atomic bombs, **, missiles, and the lethality is too great. According to the people on their side, fifty or sixty years ago, two countries went to war, and the larger country dropped two atomic bombs on the smaller country, and more than 100,000 people died at that time. ”

"Huh? That's amazing, isn't it? "The emperor's face has changed color a little.

"What's even more powerful about this weapon is that after the explosion of the weapon, there was no grass growing in that area for many years. Therefore, no one dared to use the atomic bomb for decades since then, and many countries have agreed that nuclear weapons are not allowed. If you use this in a war, if you throw one and I throw another, not only will everyone die, but the grass will not grow, and the living will have no food to eat, they will all starve to death, and there will be no need to fight for territory. ”

"That's terrible, isn't it? That thing must be expensive, right? ”

"Let's put it this way, the money brought by the minister can't even buy half an atomic bomb from other people. The process of producing nuclear weapons is quite high-end, that thing is the exclusive property of the state, and will not be sold to private individuals, and it is not easy for me to succeed in researching, and how many tens or hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent, and I still want to defeat others? Besides, there is a very strict control of weapons over there, and whoever wants to resell arms is guilty of shooting, and let's talk about killing the head here. The minister went out to relax, not to give heads to others, if that was the case, it would be better to accompany the two ladies in the house. ”

The words of the prince were quite deterrent to the queen mother, and even the queen mother immediately thought about whether the prince brought back a few nuclear weapons that could kill 100,000 people at one time? If you mess with him and throw one at the Forbidden City, there will be no bones left!

The Queen Mother's thinking was a little scattered, she brought up the matter of weapons, and the prince was just answering her questions, without any sense of fooling people. But the Queen Mother was really scared, not only afraid, but also regretted bringing up this topic. One is that she is very afraid of death, sitting at the peak of power, and she is used to giving orders to the whole world, and it is not too much to live for another hundred years. It's all she who scares people, who can make her afraid? I'm scared right now. But if you think about it carefully, what Lord Rui is talking about is just a weapon on the other side of the foreign land, and it is far away from the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty, he is just talking about what the weapon over there looks like. I didn't have the money to buy it back. yes, how much can a few antiques sell for? After going out for a year, he had to live in a store to eat and drink, and he bought so many things to bring back, he was usually not a troubled person. He said that he was a foreign land and not the Qing Dynasty, so messy, he forgot what he wanted to say.

The Queen Mother has long felt that in the past few years, her brain response is far less sensitive than before. Prince Rui just returned home and sent these good things to himself, which shows that he respects himself and the emperor very much, which the Queen Mother is still very satisfied with. Seeing the ivory engraved with flowers, the Queen Mother was very touched:

"Lord Rui, you spent a lot of silver on these gifts to the palace and the emperor, right? It's hard for your heart. ”

"Look at what you said, according to the generation, you are the elder, the minister and the emperor are the monarch and the minister, and the brother is the emperor, how can you bring back a gift that is different from the Qing Dynasty when you go out from afar, right? I also brought a little gift to the other princely brothers, county kings, Guogong brothers, and nephews, not much, a box for each person, which contained wine, drinks, and snacks, as well as a piece or two of clothing for their women and children's toys, which is what it means. ”

"It's not easy to bring it back from afar, and it's about this heart. By the way, the things you brought back were also loaded and brought back by the ship? ”

"Yes, it's easier to take the waterway, and there is no possibility of the car getting stuck in the mud."

"I've heard that there are pirates and typhoons on the sea, haven't you encountered them?"

"That's not true, the pirates didn't encounter it, and the typhoon didn't encounter it, so it went relatively well."

The Queen Mother wanted to know what good things the prince and they had brought, but she was too embarrassed to ask too carefully. As the queen mother and the emperor, no matter how powerful she is, she can't control what private property other people have. It seems that it is impossible to go out to recruit troops and buy horses, the Queen Mother doesn't want the prince to come back and bring a few swallow eggs or peacock eggs, accidentally fell to the ground, touched something hot and blew up, the Forbidden City is so close to the Rui Palace, including herself, including the emperor, including the Taihe Palace, you have to blow up to the sky, or don't stimulate the Rui Wangye, the more it stops, the better. The Queen Mother's understanding of the word "**" is a weapon that is afraid of heat. Although the Queen Mother is the head of a female politician, she is completely amateur when it comes to weapons. For the exotic weapons that the prince said, he felt even more terrifying.

Originally, it was a very simple matter, and she would interpret it as a major event related to the country, but when she thought about it, the weapon that Lord Rui said was asked by herself, not that people deliberately scared herself. That kind of weapon will naturally be very expensive, even the queen mother, who is a complete layman of weapons, knows that such a weapon can kill so many people, and the person who throws the weapon must throw it from a high place, otherwise he will fold in it if his hand strength is small. Ruiwang's Mansion is very close to the Forbidden City, there are no mountains and no mountains, how to throw it? Besides, the emperor was saved by sacrificing his life, and the emperor was very good to him, as if he couldn't blow the emperor to death, right? I don't have a deep grudge against myself, so why take this risk? Thinking too much about yourself, right? Originally, I wanted to ask a few questions that I didn't understand, but I was afraid of speaking layman's words to make the prince laugh. The Queen Mother has always paid attention to her image, especially in front of her juniors, and she can't be an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Then the emperor asked the prince some other things, some questions other than weapons. If it involves a strong political tendency, the prince avoids it because the Buddhist laymen do not care about the world. Dealing with the emperor is quite easy, at least the emperor has no defense against the prince, and the queen mother is a little tired, she is completely picky, finding faults, or digging a pit to force people to jump down. Therefore, Fu Jin, who was sitting on the side, was so nervous that his palms were pinched by his own nails! I'm afraid that the more the prince talks, the more he asks, if he asks what loopholes the queen mother thinks, it will be doomed. I can't wait to go back to the house for a while, and I chatted with the prince all night, sleepy.

The emperor still wanted to ask the prince something, but he didn't know where to start. He is quite interested in the place where the prince goes, as an emperor, of course he will care about his subjects, Shunzhi is also a wise monarch, he is worried about the people of the world, and he wants to know how people govern the country in countries other than the Qing Dynasty. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "I really want to ask what the country that the imperial brother went to is like, there is no emperor, how are those people managed?" But the royal brother has just returned to the house, and he is tired all the way, so let's go back to the house to rest first. In the future, there will be time to talk slowly. ”

The prince and Fu Jin couldn't wait to go back to their homes immediately, and being questioned by the emperor and the queen mother here was a bit like an interrogation. When the prince talks about nuclear weapons, he also means a little to scare the queen mother, and if he has nothing to do, he suspects us of bad intentions, and it is not that there is no one who wants the dragon chair, but it is not us. It's a good day, but it's okay to find a flail? Since the emperor has let him go, let's hurry back home. The prince suddenly remembered that the baby Beibei should be told to the emperor, it is a good thing for the royal family to add people, and he must also tell the emperor that he cares about his heirs very much.
