Chapter 102: The carriage enters the palace

Sure enough.

Han Zanzhou returned to Beijing this time, took the canal, was on the boat in Qingjiangpu in Huai'an, and arrived in Dezhou, Shandong, when he caught up with the cooling weather, the canal froze, so he had to abandon the boat ashore and take the land route instead.

When he arrived in the capital, Han Zan Zhou couldn't take a break, found an inn in the imperial city, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to the palace, saw Wang Chengen, and handed him Yang Bo's gift list.

And made a report on the experience of going south.

Speaking of Yang Boqi and his affairs, although Wang Chengen had already been mentally prepared, he was also surprised to hear it, this has to be said that Han Zanzhou was telling him, if it was replaced by another person, Wang Chengen must have thought that person was telling the story of Zhai, if Pu Songling heard it, he would be so scared that he would not dare to be born.

Especially when it comes to Yang Bo's single-handedly going straight to the July, he actually pried in a large battleship and killed and captured a litter of red-haired devils, which is really terrifying and unbelievable.

However, Wang Chengen still believes in Han Zanzhou, Han Zanzhou is his confidant, at the time of the incident, others were also in the fleet, although they did not follow Yang Bo out of the July No. 7, but so many prisoners, and a huge warship was captured by Yang Bo, there will always be no fake.

Wang Chengen sat on the kang, listened to Han Zanzhou's words, took out a sweat towel from his arms, wiped the sweat, and sighed: "Is this Yang Bo a person, or a god?" ”

"I think he's more like a ghost, his ability is not small, but there is a lot of bad water in his stomach, and he is a big ghost."

Han Zanzhou talked about Yang Bo's 'homeless house' again, Wang Chengen frowned when he heard it, felt unreliable, and sneered: "This Yang Bo really thinks he is a fairy, whimsical, he wants to do it, but he can't." ”

"However, I think Yang Bo is doing this very seriously, and his subordinates are worried that this Yang Bo has other plans, you..."

Wang Chengen waved his hand, moved down from the kang, put on his shoes, walked back and forth in the house, and after a while, he stood still, opened a pair of triangular eyes, looked at Han Zanzhou, and said solemnly: "Xiangwen, before you came back, the queen greeted our family, there is really a shortage of silver in this palace, and our family has to share worries for the emperor and queen, right?" There is no silver, those of us who run errands in the palace are having a hard time, if it is not good for Yang Bo, let's not talk about it this time, let's get the silver first, understand? ”

"Engong, but..." Han Zanzhou hesitated a little, but when he saw Wang Chengen's face sank, he swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth.

Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction, turned to a smile, and said: "Xiangwen, this time you have worked hard to go south, our family will first write it down in our hearts, if you can get silver in the future, you will be a great achievement." ”

Han Zanzhou thanked him and said, "This is all taught by Engong. ”

Wang Chengen is not only his top boss, but also his great benefactor, without Wang Chengen's mention, Han Zanzhou still doesn't know where to be a little eunuch waiting for the eunuch, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, because of this, he also thought about it repeatedly on the way back to Beijing, and felt that he still had to remind Mr. Wang, so as not to cause chaos in the future, he and Wang Chengen are inseparable.

However, Wang Chengen's remarks can be regarded as setting a tone, and silver is the top priority.

Han Zanzhou is Wang Chengen's person, he can only look forward to Wang Chengen's horse, if he sees the emperor, try to say some good things about Yang Bo, to make the emperor happy, first get Yang Bo's silver, and then talk about others.

"Xiangwen, you go back and prepare first, I can't say that you will go to see the emperor with our family today." Wang Chengen raised his legs and walked outside the house, and said: "What our family confessed, you have to remember, what you shouldn't say, don't say it, you can't make a mistake." ”

Han Zan Zhou said yes again and again, hurriedly followed, and said: "Engong, in addition to the gift list, there is also a pearl of coral that can shine at night, which was given to you by Yang Bo, you see..."

"Huh?" Wang Chengen's face sank, glanced at Han Zanzhou, and reprimanded: "Confused, what time is it?" The emperor is handling the eunuch case, Wei Zhongxian's Yin Jian is not far away, we people, the outer court is keeping a close eye on it, we must abide by our duties, and we must not stretch our hands too long. ”

Han Zan Zhou said yes again and again, and said: "That thing was forced by Yang Bo to our family, Yang Boyan said that his subordinates went all the way and returned to Beijing empty-handed, which did not conform to the rules of Shenjiabao's hospitality. ”

"Forget it this time, don't take it as an example, if you make a mistake in the future, don't blame our family for not reminding you."

"What Engong said is that his subordinates should remember."

After walking a few steps forward, Wang Chengen suddenly stopped again, pondered for a while, and said: "After all, this Yang Bo has killed a thousand households of the official army in Meizhen, and Liu Er's matter, our family doesn't know whether to mention it to the emperor, and if it is mentioned, it will inevitably remind the emperor of Yang Bo's past. ”

When Han Zanzhou heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Engong, it's better to be like this, when I see the emperor later, my subordinates will find an opportunity, just make a joke and tell the emperor to hear it, Yang Bo is just a doll, and the emperor may not believe it when he listens to it." ”

Wang Chengen looked at Han Zanzhou with a lovely smile, or Han Zanzhou has a perceptive child, knows the looks, knows the current affairs, and knows when to stand up for Engong.

"Our family still has to wait for the emperor, okay, that's it, don't go far, maybe when you will be called to see the emperor in the afternoon."

"Yes, Eun Gong." Han Zan Zhou promised, bowed and retreated.

In the afternoon, Chongzhen got off the noon dynasty and stayed in the Qianqing Palace to review the chapters, Wang Chengen waited on the side, found an opportunity, and mentioned to him that Han Zanzhou had returned to Beijing, and Chongzhen ordered Han Zanzhou to come over to see the driver.

Chongzhen took Yang Bo's gift list, nodded while looking at it, and said, "Matches, candles, oh... But what is this carriage? ”

"Your Majesty, this is Yang Bo's filial piety to the emperor, listening to Han Zan Zhouyan, this carriage is Yang Bo's new creation, and it is also a magical object."

Wang Chengen looked at Han Zanzhou and said, "Han Zanzhou, tell the emperor what is so magical about this carriage." ”

Han Zanzhou immediately told Chongzhen what he had learned and how he felt when he sat on it.

When Han Zanzhou was in Shenjiabao, he had not been in Xu Wenjue's carriage, and the one given to the emperor by Yang Bo had made a lot of improvements.

Han Zanzhou said it vividly, but it aroused Chongzhen's interest.

"It's better to see than to hear, and I also want to see where this carriage can magically go, and take me to see it."

"Your Majesty, this carriage can seat two people, do you want Weichen to go and talk to the queen mother, and let the queen mother also come and sit down?" Wang Chengen mentioned it with a smile.

Queen Zhou and Chongzhen were relatives in the palace of King Xin, at that time, Wei Zhongxian was in power, the court was in a miasma, Chongzhen still stayed in King Xin's mansion, being his king of letters, and lived a hard life of fear for a few years.

Queen Zhou was still the princess at that time, although she was a royal prince, but she was diligent and simple, she did her own spinning, laundry, and ordinary peasant women were no different, at the most critical time, Chongzhen was afraid of being framed, and only dared to eat the meals made by Queen Zhou, even if Chongzhen ascended the throne as the emperor, Princess Xin also became the queen, Queen Zhou still did not change the habit of working in person, Chongzhen also took pity on her, the two of them can be described as a husband and wife in distress, and their feelings were very strong.

It's rare that Chongzhen is in a good mood today, Wang Chengen casually mentioned it, and he bought more time for Queen Zhou to get along with the emperor, Wang Chengen is also an old man who believes in the palace, so he is naturally towards the queen.

Sure enough, Chongzhen said happily: "Okay, let the queen come and sit too." ”

When Empress Zhou arrived and boarded the carriage with Chongzhen, Han Zanzhou also became a coachman, and the carriage carried the emperor and queen around the palace.

Wang Chengen was left far behind, and soon he couldn't see anyone.

"Your Majesty, there are shock-absorbing reeds under this car, but it's not bumpy to sit?"

"Your Majesty, the front wheel of this car is equipped with a bogie, which is very convenient for turning."

"Your Majesty, the axle of this car is made of iron, and according to Yang Boyan, there is also a thing called a bearing on it, which can save a lot of horsepower."

Han Zanzhou drove in front, chattering endlessly to Emperor Chongzhen about the benefits of this carriage, Chongzhen sat on the carriage, feeling that what Han Zanzhou said was true, and he was also sincerely admired.

The carriage structure is very novel, the shape is also good-looking, both sides are open windows, the curtain can be rolled up, there is a well-carved groove under the window lattice, specially used to store the rolled up curtain, beige cover, high backrest, soft seat cushion, sitting on it, it feels very appropriate, walking on the paved road of gold bricks, very brisk, feeling not shaky, not bumpy.

The carriage marched on the road, which also attracted palace maids and eunuchs to stop and watch, and there were many discussions for a while, all of which were amazed.

Although Queen Zhou is a queen, she is not very old, and she is a girl, and she loves this kind of carriage with a novel shape and a very beautiful appearance.

At this time, a horse pulling the cart pulled, which was really bad and very inappropriate.

When Chongzhen saw it, he immediately stretched out a hand, wanting to cover the queen's eyes and not show her, but the action was a step too late, and the queen saw it.

"Giggle.."

Empress Zhou smiled and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the concubines have grown up in the countryside since they were children, and this kind of thing has been seen a lot, what's the matter?" ”

"Eating and drinking Lazar is indeed the principle of nature." Chongzhen nodded and looked at the queen, his eyes full of pampering.

Queen Zhou probed and said to Han Zanzhou: "Han Zanzhou, you said that so many carriages are good, but it is not good to miss this, this horse is pulling everywhere, you go and ask Yang Bo, can you think of a way to change it?" ”

"This..."Han Zanzhou was sweating on his forehead, his expression was quite embarrassed, and he said: "Back to the queen, this, our family will go back and ask someone to talk to Yang Bo." ”

"Okay, this palace is joking, you are still serious."

Chongzhen also smiled: "You don't have to ask someone to ask for it, you can go to Shenjiabao again when you go back." ”

"Your Majesty..."

Han Zanzhou was taken aback, he still had to go to Shenjiabao? This was something he hadn't expected.

"You make it clear to Yang Bo, I am not so easy to fool, Yang Bo has great ability, he only gives me 100,000 taels of silver a year, that's not good, let alone 200,000 taels."

Hey, if you have a lot of ability, you have to give more silver?
