439 Shocking
Princess Kunxing has always been by the side of Xingguo Gong, and fools know that Princess Kunxing can only marry Xingguo Gong in this life.
But before, this matter was not announced, and nothing was said in public, so everyone should be blind and deaf, and they should not see it.
But at this time, this is in plain sight. Crucially, this is not inside a carriage with a curtain, but on a wooden bicycle. If the Kunxing princess can really sit in the back, it would be too intimate.
To be honest, such a thing is really a bit shocking!
However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what to think, so he agreed in one bite, and Princess Kunxing didn't speak, so he agreed first.
This kind of thing is so obvious!
It's a bit of a feeling, as if Princess Kunxing can't get married, hurry up and take this husband first!
Ah, what's this thing called?
Thanks to these important ministers of the imperial court, most of them are recommended by Xingguo Gong or have a good relationship with Xingguo Gong. After hearing their conversation, no one immediately objected.
If it were replaced by those seven-rank imperial historians leaning in front of this, there would definitely be people who would object to it when they heard this.
This kind of thing, the emperor can't kill his head for this, but he can gain fame!
Or, if this matter is placed in the early Ming Dynasty, these important ministers will definitely discourage it. If they don't dissuade them, they will of course be impeached.
However, this was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the atmosphere is actually quite open.
Especially in the south of the Yangtze River, those scholars wore women's clothes and swaggered through the market, which became a fashion. There are even more powerful than these.
The reason why this is the case is actually related to the rapid economic development of the Ming Dynasty in the past few hundred years.
A large part of the population no longer struggled with hunger and cold, and began to have needs in the spiritual world.
All kinds of works of the Ming Dynasty that have been handed down to later generations, including "Golden Vase Plum", "Three Words and Two Beats", etc., were all born in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. There are also many dramas, such as "The Peony Pavilion", "Mr. Dongguo Mistakenly Saves the Wolf in Zhongshan" and so on.
All kinds of ideas are also blooming at this time, some are good, and of course some are bad, such as the pursuit of pleasure and so on.
Therefore, the fact that Xingguo Gong wanted to use a wooden bicycle to take Princess Kunxing was indeed shocking, but it was still in their cognition. Not to mention, as the father of Princess Kunxing, Emperor Daming agreed to it.
No, as soon as Zhang Mingwei heard that Emperor Chongzhen, the father-in-law, had agreed, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately said to Zhu Yujiao: "I'll ride down first, and then jump up when you're stable, just sit in the back and hold my waist!" ”
After finishing speaking, I saw Zhang Mingwei start to ride this wooden bicycle.
In fact, at the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen and those important ministers of the court actually wanted to see Zhang Mingwei's jokes. They learned to ride this wooden bicycle after practicing for a long time. Therefore, they wanted to see that Zhang Mingwei, the inventor of the wooden bicycle, couldn't ride it a little funny.
But this will, no one cares whether the Xingguo Guild will ride this wooden bicycle anymore. Instead, they all looked at Princess Kunxing and watched what happened next, this is the key!
I saw that after Zhang Mingwei got on the wooden bicycle, he just shook it slightly, stabilized it, and even went around in a circle to feel it.
It feels like it's a lot heavier than the bikes of later generations, and it's not easy to ride. However, exercising with this seems to be good.
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and shouted to Zhu Yujiao: "It's okay!" ”
Zhu Yujiao's face was red, but she didn't hesitate, maybe it was because she had been with Zhang Mingwei for a long time, or maybe she had already worn away the sorrow in the boudoir under the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, just glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, and saw her father looking at her with a smile, so she didn't care, just ran two steps briskly, and landed firmly on the back seat of the bicycle.
Zhang Mingwei knew that she had no problem, after all, Zhu Yujiao could get on a galloping horse, what was the last bicycle?
After the handlebar shook slightly, Zhang Mingwei stabilized and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, let's go!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhu Yujiao blushing and sitting in the back seat with her head down, so he immediately laughed and rode a bicycle to chase after her.
Then, the first assistant of the cabinet blocked Yinxi and the others, looked at each other, their faces were full of helplessness. It's a bit ridiculous for the emperor to do things! This matter will definitely spread throughout the entire Jingshi today!
However, they actually knew very well in their hearts that Emperor Chongzhen used such an absurd way that it was almost impossible to happen, but it really happened, to show the world that his relationship with Xingguo Gong could not be shaken!
Thinking so, the courtiers had no choice but to follow on their bicycles again.
Only Zuo Maodi watched them leave with a smile, and then rode the BMW brought by his entourage and slowly followed.
………………
The Duke of Xingguo returned to Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen led hundreds of civil and military officials out of Beijing to greet him. This is a very big thing in itself.
The people of Jingshi, who rushed to watch after getting the news first, saw for the first time a wooden bicycle that was rumored but only a few people had seen.
On both sides of the street, the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were under martial law. The onlookers could only watch from outside the quarantine circle, just watching the current emperor take the lead and ride a wooden bicycle out of the city.
This scene made them talk eagerly after picking up their chins.
After hearing the news, the people of Jingshi rushed to hear the news, and after hearing these discussions, they were all surprised and curious, so they joined the discussion, mainly to inquire about the situation, hating that they were a little late to come, and they didn't see a scene they had never seen before.
But who knows, after waiting for a while, they saw something that they will never forget in this life.
I saw that the emperor had come again on a wooden bicycle, and at a distance of half a quarter, there was a young man wearing the narrow sleeves common in the army.
This is not the key, the key is that behind the bicycle that this young man is riding, there is a heroic woman sitting on the waist of that young man!
This......
If your jaw falls to the ground and it makes a sound, it's probably all this sound at this point.
At this time, in the eyes of the onlookers in Beijing, there is no current emperor, nor is there a group of civil and military ministers who follow behind, but only this pair of young people.
This impression is definitely engraved in their minds.
It wasn't until the face of the brigade brocade guards caught up that they came back to their senses, and suddenly, needless to say, the sound of "buzzing" sounded into a one.
"The one who is talking to the emperor while riding that strange car must be the Duke of Xingguo, right?"
"That's for sure, apart from the Duke of Xingguo, who else is qualified to chat with the emperor like this before the hundred officials?"
"Who's the woman in the back of the car?"
"Don't you know that? By the side of Xingguo Gong, there has always been only one woman accompanying him! ”
"Princess Kunxing, definitely Princess Kunxing, just look at their clothes. Otherwise, no other woman would have appeared on such an occasion! ”
“……”
In short, until the martial law was lifted, the vast majority of the people in Beijing did not disperse, or they forgot to disperse, and they were still talking about a scene that would be difficult to forget in this life.
Men, women, old and young, all have different opinions on what they see.
There are also many topics: the Duke of Xingguo, who fought in the south and the north, returned to Beijing, and the world was basically peaceful; the steam engine incident; wooden bicycles; Princess Kunxing made a public appearance, and she also used a car with Xingguo in the public and had a close relationship.
No matter what it is, it is very topical, making these things spread all over the Jingshi at a rapid speed.
After all, there is only a small number of people who can have time, or catch up with this bustle, among the millions of people in Beijing. Most people will only know after these people disperse.
In the Guozi Prison, the man named Wensheng was pulling a group of Confucian scholars to discuss in a corner of the room.
Of course, they knew that Xingguo Gong was going back to Beijing, so what they were discussing was what to do after Xingguo Gong returned to Beijing!
At this moment, the prisoner who saw that scene in the Guozi Prison came back, which made the Guozi Prison also a sensation.
It didn't take long for it to reach the ears of these people.
Suddenly, everyone was a little dumbfounded.
Suddenly, they realized that what they were doing seemed to be much harder than they had imagined!
After Xingguo Gong was absent from Jingshi for nearly a year, they felt that they seemed to be able to challenge Xingguo Gong in some aspects! But at this time, they found out that they seemed to answer a sentence: the tiger is not at home, the monkey is the king!
When the tiger returned, they realized that the monkey couldn't fight the tiger at all, not even by climbing a tree!
Realizing this, many people's faces are ugly, and they even have the intention of retreating.
Seeing this, Wen Sheng became anxious, and hurriedly asked them: "Don't forget, we can't retreat from this matter?" Do you want to do that one day? After studying hard for so many years, he abandoned it all in one fell swoop? ”
"If Xingguo Gong wants to do it, can we stop it?" One of them replied helplessly.
Wen Sheng heard this, and hurriedly reassured them: "Don't forget, let's just grab the steam engine." And in the case of this steam engine, aren't there people in front of it, and we just need to support it? ”
As soon as they heard this, the others suddenly perked up and said, "Yes, I heard that he seems to be going to openly question Xingguo Gong in the court!" ”
"Yes, let's wait for the situation to develop, no matter what, with the tall man in front, what are we afraid of!" Wen Sheng listened, and hurriedly cheered up with a little excitement, "Even if it is Xingguo Gong, facing him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him, right?" ”
"That's it!" The others listened and nodded.
So, they discussed, and they went out one after another to inquire about the news, just to know what news would come from the court as soon as possible?
