After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen shook his hand and left.

Seeing this, Wang Erbiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But then, he became curious.

The eunuchs in the palace, no matter how powerful they are, will take their sons and prevent them from being liquidated when they fall out of favor.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, serving the emperor, you can't let the emperor do everything well.

Once something upsets the emperor, it is likely that he will fall from the top of his power. Or leave the emperor for a few days, and other eunuchs will put eye medicine on their backs.

There is also a possibility that the eunuchs in power themselves are old and slow to react, and they will not be liked by the emperor.

Under such various factors, the eunuch in power will push his godson to an important position, once he falls out of favor, the new eunuch favored by the emperor is preferably his godson, so as to most effectively prevent accidents in life.

However, just now, Wang Erbiao felt a strong self-confidence from Wang Chengen. He was quite surprised to say that the Chongzhen Dynasty would not lose power, even when the next emperor was the next emperor.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, each son of heaven has his own courtiers by his side, including the serving chamberlain, all of whom are other people.

When the new emperor ascended to the throne, he always had to use his own closest courtiers, including slaves and maidservants.

Where did Wang Chengen get his confidence to even think that he could handle this situation?

Wang Erbiao thought about this in his heart, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of a person: Xingguo Gong?

From all indications, Wang Chengen is actually very close to Xingguo Gong, and Emperor Chongzhen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also very good to Xingguo Gong, not to mention Princess Kunxing!

Thinking like this, Wang Erbiao felt that he had grasped the most critical point of the problem. And his eyes lit up.

There is a good saying, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who does not want to be a celebrant and a eunuch is not a good servant. Wang Erbiao is now the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch, of course, he also thinks about the position of the eunuch with the palm print, the first person in the palace.

He was thinking about it, and one of the chamberlains kindly reminded: "Princess, the old ancestor has gone away!" ”

When Wang Erbiao heard this, he came back to his senses and immediately reprimanded: "You want to take care of it? ”

………………

Two days later, Zhang Mingwei finally arrived in Tongzhou, and after getting off the boat, he changed his horse and rode back to Beijing.

What he didn't expect was that when he saw the tall city wall of Jingshi, he saw a group of brocade guards rushing out of the city gate.

Zhang Mingwei is the commander of Jinyiwei, and he immediately wondered a little, didn't he let Jinyiwei dispatch?

This doubt had just had time to pop up, and there was a very dumbfounded scene for him.

I saw that on the street cleaned up by the Jinyi Guard, Emperor Chongzhen appeared.

Zhang Mingwei is just a courtier, and the emperor actually went out of the city to greet him, which is very rare. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, few people seem to have been treated like this.

However, with the relationship between Zhang Mingwei and Emperor Chongzhen, as well as his contribution to turning the tide, in fact, he was not particularly surprised by Emperor Chongzhen's welcome.

At this time, he was very surprised, so much so that he was dumbfounded by Emperor Chongzhen's way of greeting!

Or to be precise, it was Emperor Chongzhen who greeted him with a new means of transportation.

Can you imagine? Emperor Chongzhen rode a wooden bicycle to meet him.

And behind him, a group of civil and military officials, high-grade ones, also drove out of the city gate hole on bicycles.

Zhang Mingwei was really shocked by this scene.

This reminded him of a painting he had seen in later generations, a painting of Guan Yunchang of the Three Kingdoms riding a bicycle!

"Hahaha......" Emperor Chongzhen laughed excitedly when he saw where Zhang Mingwei was stunned.

Obviously, he was very satisfied that his way of going out could make Zhang Mingwei so shocked.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he came back to his senses, immediately laughed, immediately turned over and dismounted, and went to salute.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's bicycle had already been lost to the chamberlain beside him.

He also greeted Zhang Mingwei, grabbed Zhang Mingwei's hands, looked up and down, and said with emotion: "Sir, for Daming, I really worked hard for you!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately replied with a smile: "This is my wish, I am willing!" ”

His answer was different from others, but Emperor Chongzhen listened very happily.

At this moment, I heard someone next to me say unhappily: "Father, what about the daughter?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head to look at it, immediately laughed, let go of Zhang Mingwei, walked to Princess Kunxing, and said with a smile: "My daughter is a heroine, among the princesses of Daming, she is unique, I think about it every day, I am proud of you!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Princess Kunxing immediately laughed, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and the two small dimples were particularly obvious. She is most proud of her experience for more than a year, and now she has been praised by her father, and she has a high evaluation, of course she is happy!

While their father and daughter were talking, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at other acquaintances.

I saw that among the important ministers in the court, the younger ones, such as Du Yinxi and others, were all fine. But the older ones, such as Zuo Maodi and others, were so tired that they were out of breath.

Obviously, they came on wooden bicycles, even if the people who built this wooden bicycle were the best craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, but compared to the bicycles of later generations, it was absolutely laborious, and it was really difficult for them!

Zhang Mingwei was very happy to see this!

I just don't know if they usually ride this bicycle in the last court, or if they only ride the bicycle when they come to greet them this time?

If it is the former, it means that the Jingshi side has a high degree of acceptance of science and technology, and has not overturned everything because of the accident of the steam engine.

Of course, even if it is the latter, even if the emperor and the important ministers of the court ride wooden bicycles, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the entire Jingshi. This is also very helpful for him to promote scientific and technological knowledge.

"Xia Guan has seen Xingguo Gong!" When Zhang Mingwei was thinking about it, Du Yinxi had already come over and greeted him with a smile, "It's really hard for the prince to fight for the country!" ”

Others also came to greet one after another, and they were all recommended by him.

Wang Chengen also came over, greeted him with a smile, and then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sir, how about this greeting method proposed by our family?" ”

Of course, he knew that the steam engine incident made Xingguo Gong make a decision to put down the matter of suppressing thieves and return to Beijing, which shows that Xingguo Gong really attaches great importance to scientific and technological knowledge.

The last time Wenhua Hall was discussed, the consensus reached was not to deal with the disturbance of the students of Guozijian first. Although Wang Chengen doesn't arrest people, he naturally has his own way, which is to come up with this trick.

Not only is the emperor happy, but so is the prince of Xingguo!

To achieve such a goal, as for the rest, Wang Chengen will not care.

Now it seems that this is really good! In addition to shocking Xingguo Gong, the emperor also laughed!

Outside the Jingshi City, after a period of greetings, it was time to return to the Forbidden City.

At this time, suddenly there was a problem.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what to choose for a while.

Even if he came out on a wooden bicycle, then this time, my husband and daughter are both horseback, so does he choose to ride a horse, or still ride a wooden bicycle?

When he was hesitating like this, Zuo Maodi immediately seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this wooden bicycle was conceived by Guogong, in this case, Lao Chen is willing to give Lao Chen's wooden bicycle to Guogong, so that Guogong can accompany His Majesty to ride back to the Forbidden City!" ”

When other officials heard this, especially the older civil officials, they couldn't help but feel remorse, why didn't they think that they should mention it earlier. With the emperor's attitude, it is estimated that he will agree, and he will not have to suffer.

Sure enough, when Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately turned his head to Zhang Mingwei and said with a smile: "How about it, sir, let's ride back together?" ”

As he spoke, his smile was a little weird!

Zhu Yujiao on the side listened, took Emperor Chongzhen's hand, and said coquettishly: "Father, my daughter will also ride!" ”

This new means of transportation is from her hands, seeing her father and the emperor leading a group of courtiers to ride over, it is very novel, she is only fourteen years old, she really likes the age of novelty, and naturally likes it too.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he leaned over and attached to her ear and whispered a few words.

After Zhu Yujiao heard this, she didn't ask for it anymore, but just looked at Zhang Mingwei with a strange smile.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mingwei glanced at these important ministers of the court and those who owned the imperial wooden bicycles, and when he saw their eyes, he immediately understood what they and Emperor Chongzhen meant.

So, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ride back with Your Majesty!" ”

After that, he went to pick up Zuo Maodi's wooden bicycle.

Seeing this, Zuo Maodi was obviously relieved, and then said to Zhang Mingwei: "This thing is actually very simple, Guogong only needs to step on here and balance his body......"

"No, I will!" Zhang Mingwei said, saw the back seat of the bicycle, looked up at Zhu Yujiao, and saw that she was still smiling, obviously wanting to see if he could ride the bicycle.

So, he rolled his eyes, and said to Zhu Yujiao with a smile: "Come, I'll take you back to the palace, how about it?" Sit here! ”

"Huh?" When Zhu Yujiao saw it, she was a little dumbfounded.

It's not that she's afraid of wrestling, but sitting in that place in full view of everyone, and going back with her husband on a bicycle, which is too ostentatious, right?

She was still thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen rolled her eyes, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I agreed!" ”

When those civil and military officials heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

What does the emperor mean by this, is he going to disclose the relationship between Princess Kunxing and Duke Xingguo?
