Chapter 266, let's tear down the city wall
The direction of the capital leading to Tianjin is crowded with people, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and extraordinary.
With the restlessness of the crowd in front, the people waiting to see the whales in the back couldn't help but stand on their tiptoes one by one, wanting to see farther, and some children rode on the shoulders of their parents, looking very excited.
"It's coming~ It's coming, it's such a big fish, it is worthy of being a Kunpeng in the sea, it is a divine object, no wonder there are many incredible magical effects."
"It's really big, as huge as a house, I'm afraid this bite can eat dozens of people, right?"
"Tsk, hundreds of people are pulling this big whale, I'm afraid it's not less than 100,000 catties."
All kinds of sounds came from the front, making people who hadn't seen the whale on the side of Dongzhimen even more curious, and their hearts were like cat's paws scratching.
"Brother, did you see a whale?"
"How big is this whale?"
"Friend, is this whale a fish?"
"Why haven't you come yet?"
The people in the back can't see it, and they are very curious, so they can only keep asking the people in front, and most of the people in front haven't seen the whale yet.
Because this time it was really an empty alley, almost the old and young masters who had nothing to do in the capital came out to make trouble, and at this time, the team transporting whales was still several miles away from Dongzhimen, and there were many people watching along the way, forming a long dragon.
This person is transmitting from person to person, and the speed of news travels much faster than the speed of the whale.
"Hey~hey~"
On the spacious cement road of the Beijing-Tianjin line, the team transporting whales shouted neat trumpets and moved forward very slowly, and hundreds of strong men dragging ropes were sweating one by one, looking very tired.
It is really not easy to transport this behemoth of more than 100,000 catties from Tianjin to the capital, but fortunately, Zhu Houzhao is generous here, and the salary is very high, and he is a little tired, but everyone is also very energetic.
Especially when this is about to arrive in Beijing, seeing that the task can be completed soon, and the salary will be obtained, the pace is faster, not to mention that at this time, the road on both sides of the cement road has been full of onlookers, layer after layer, from low to high, as if two long huge human walls, and even on the top of the big trees are enough to hang people watching the trouble.
"Haha, there are so many people, it's a mess now."
Zhu Hou, who was riding on a tall horse, looked at the crowd on both sides of the road, and the whole person couldn't help but raise his head slightly proudly, at this moment, he felt as if he was a general who had returned triumphantly, enjoying the attention of ten thousand people.
As for Liu Jin, he naturally hid in the carriage behind, so it is better to leave it to others to do such a showy thing, he doesn't like to be in the limelight, low-key and obscene development is the right way.
"Everyone work hard, after arriving in the capital, your wages will be doubled."
Zhu Houzhao, who has a good heart, is also like an arrow, and he can't wait to transport this big whale to the palace now, so that his father and queen mother can take a good look at it, and taste the taste of this whale by the way, so Zhu Houzhao also said loudly to the hundreds of people who pulled the whale.
"Hey~hey~"
The charm of this money is naturally endless, and this time to transport whales into Beijing, Zhu Houzhao offered a high price of one or two silver to these hundreds of people.
Now the salary has doubled, which means that after the whale arrives in Beijing, the silver in everyone's hands is at least two taels of silver, and two taels of silver is tantamount to a huge amount of money for those of them at the bottom, and it is a windfall, a windfall to be able to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law to do great things.
So when these hundreds of people shouted the trumpet, they all became more neat and loud.
"This Zhu Houzhao~"
In the carriage behind, Liu Jin couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words.
"What a big whale~"
"This whale is too big~"
As the whale advanced, the people who saw the whale on both sides of the road couldn't help but widen their eyes and open their mouths, and they all admired one after another.
Anyone who sees such a large whale for the first time is deeply shocked by its size, especially in this era of poor information.
The whale is constantly advancing, and the people on both sides of the road are constantly following behind, and soon a torrent was formed on the spacious cement road, and the crowds were crowded, and the people were rushing towards the capital, wanting to continue to follow and take a look.
There are even some bold and naughty children who run directly to the side of the whale, wanting to look more carefully, and even want to touch the whale, but for this kind of child who hinders work, adults are naturally indispensable to scold, and even knock directly on the other party's head.
This cement road is extremely busy, it is the main road connecting Beijing and Tianjin, it has always been full of traffic and people, but now, all of a sudden, it is completely paralyzed, and it has become extremely congested, and in the back, a large number of carriages, pedestrians, etc. have to stop, and can only move forward slowly.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
On the side of Dongzhimen, Emperor Hongzhi waited and waited, but he still didn't see the shadow of the whale, and he asked a little impatiently.
"Listen to the voice in front, this whale should be fast."
Xiao Jing looked at the small yellow door behind, and the other party immediately understood, and ran to see how far the whale was, and Xiao Jing accompanied Emperor Hongzhi to wait patiently, and the small yellow door found a chair very intimately, so that Emperor Hongzhi could sit down and wait slowly.
This was nearly half an hour, and gradually a loud and neat trumpet sounded coming, which made the people on the side of Dongzhimen extremely alarmed.
Some people in the trees were the first to see the big whale on the cement road, and they kept exclaiming, so that the people who didn't see it became restless, and they kept stepping on their feet or squeezing forward, wanting to see the big whale.
"Master, here, here."
Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran back to report the news to Emperor Hongzhi.
Soon, at a turn in the cement road ahead, with the sound of a neat trumpet, a shirtless, sweaty strong man appeared, dragging the rope very hard.
With the appearance of the first strong man, soon more strong men in the same dress appeared, and then the whole road suddenly became congested, and hundreds of strong men lined up in several rows on the cement road and kept advancing.
Everyone seemed very struggling and tired, as if there was a big mountain dragging behind them, which made the crowd on the side of Dongzhimen even more excited, and their eyes widened, for fear of missing this wonderful moment.
The same is true for Emperor Hongzhi, he can't sit still at this time, stand up, his position is naturally very good, you can see at a glance, there is no one in front of you to block the view.
"Hey~hey~"
With the sound of neat trumpets, a huge body appeared in the field of vision, this body was so huge, so large that it was as large as the small hillside on both sides of the concrete road, and when it was seen from a distance, it seemed as if a small mountain was moving.
"This ......"
Emperor Hongji's eyes widened, even if he was no longer calm.
Soon, the huge whale appeared in everyone's field of vision very completely, its body was huge, like a house, and like a hill, almost blocking the entire spacious concrete road.
There are hundreds of people in front of them who are struggling to pull, and there are also a large number of people holding logs and paving the road one by one, forming a tight cycle and being extremely busy.
"Is this a whale?"
"Sure enough, it's a god."
Seeing such a huge whale, Emperor Hongzhi was also deeply shocked.
Although I have seen a detailed introduction to the song, you can only understand the size of the whale when you actually see it with your own eyes.
On the side of this huge whale, the busy shadows seem to be small, and it feels like a group of small people are busy.
It's not that people have become smaller, it's that the whales on the side have become too big, and everything has become smaller compared to whales.
Even the horse that Zhu Houzhao was riding on the side seemed very small, giving people the feeling that this horse was not enough for this whale to stuff his teeth, let alone the people on the side.
"Kunpeng in the Sea~"
Even Xiao Jing was stunned at this time.
As for the people who eat melons who don't know the truth of the trouble here in Dongzhimen, they are naturally amazed again and again, there are various legends about whales, the largest of which is naturally that this whale is huge, and it is a Kunpeng in the sea.
It is said that it is 3,000 miles, and it can reach 90,000 miles.
It is said that the gods are gods, and it is said that the whales in the sea can cover the sky.
Now I see a whale, although this legend is exaggerated, but such a huge whale is enough to shock.
"Hey~hey~"
Hundreds of strong men pulled the whale step by step towards Dongzhimen, and the crowd of onlookers became more restless, discussing with their acquaintances while watching.
Soon, the big whale came to the huge open space outside the city gate of Dongzhimen and stopped here, because Zhu Houzhao found that this whale seemed to be too big, and there was no way to enter the capital directly through the city gate.
"Who built this gate in the first place?"
"This gate is too small and too narrow."
Zhu Houzhao rode his horse to the city gate, looked at the city gate, and then looked at his big whale, and immediately felt very unhappy, and finally transported the big whale from Tianjin to the capital.
Seeing that he was about to take the last step, the whale had no way to enter the city, and said angrily to Liu Jin: "Dog, hurry up and let someone tear down this city wall for me, these city walls are really in the way." ”
"Childe ~ Childe, this is the city wall of the capital."
When Liu Jin heard this, he was sweating profusely, this Zhu Houzhao really could do anything, for this whale to enter the city, he even had to tear down this city wall, he didn't dare to do this, otherwise he would really lose his head, so he also reminded weakly.
"What happened to the walls of the capital?"
"Didn't you see that there is no city wall on this side of Tianjin New Town?"
"It doesn't make much difference if there are no walls."
Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin and said very dissatisfied.
"Childe, this thing really can't be done, the capital is still the center of Daming, without the city wall, isn't this too dangerous, in case the thieves attack, Daming Sheji will be in danger."
Liu Jin shook his head helplessly and said.
"You, it's really useless."
"This city wall can't be demolished, so how can my brave whale general go to the capital?"
"I can't get into the city, how can I give it to my father as a gift... Kiss? ”
Zhu Houzhao got off the horse and kicked Liu Jin fiercely.
"Childe~"
Liu Jin was very aggrieved, and this was to blame on his head, and he didn't dare to move when he was kicked by Zhu Houzhao.
At this moment, someone hurriedly came over to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you over." ”
"Father is here?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed, and soon came to the side of Emperor Hongzhi.
"Father... Dad~"
Seeing Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao's heart was very good, but when he saw him coming out in plain clothes, he quickly changed his words.
"Do you know to come back?"
When Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhu Houzhao's hippie smile, he couldn't help but want to slap him, so he also pouted and said.
"Dad~ I haven't been out for a few days~"
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly.
"The body of a daughter, don't sit in the hall, did this Yang Tinghe teach you?"
Emperor Hongzhi glared at Zhu Houzhao and asked.
“... I just went out to whaling, and I didn't have anything, and I came back one day, and there was no danger at all. ”
Zhu Hou looked at the sky, then at his big whale, and said nonchalantly.
"Hmph~ Go back and clean you up well."
Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, after all, he was his own son, and now he was in front of the public, otherwise he would definitely reprimand Zhu Houzhao fiercely.
"Dad, you see this whale, it's big, isn't it?"
Zhu Houzhao didn't take Emperor Hongzhi's threat seriously at all, it was nothing more than a few days of detention and scolding, he had nothing to be afraid of at all, so his little eyes turned and he asked with a hippie smile.
"Well, it's huge, what's wrong?"
Emperor Hongzhi sighed slightly in his heart, he is that this son has no way, there is no way, who calls himself this one son, other emperors are afraid that their sons will seize power or something, he hopes that this Zhu Houzhao can grow up as soon as possible, don't let himself cāo) heart.
"Dad, I killed this whale myself, and I killed it with one shot."
Zhu Houzhao proudly showed off, as if he had done an extremely great thing, and looked at Emperor Hongzhi while talking, as if he wanted to be praised by Emperor Hongzhi.
"The courage of the horseman, what is there to show off."
Emperor Hongzhi naturally had a no-frills attitude.
"Dad, I heard that this whale has many miraculous effects, so I went out to sea to hunt whales for you and your mother first."
Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, thought about it and said.
"It's good that you have this heart, there is no need to take risks personally, if your mother knows, she will definitely have to worry about it."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his face looked a lot better, although Zhu Houzhao was a little more appointed, he was indeed a filial son, and the relationship between father and son was still very good.
"Dad, let's tear down this wall, otherwise this big whale won't be able to enter the city."
Zhu Houzhao saw that Emperor Hongzhi's face improved, and he immediately climbed up the pole.
"Nonsense, how can this wall be torn down."
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately put on a straight face again, and then thought about it and said: "It's good that you have this heart, I also saw this big whale, so let's just dismember it here, so many people come to see it, let everyone taste this whale." ”
