"It's a good baby!"

Emperor Zhizheng did not hesitate to make a precise judgment, and the decadent appearance of Fang Cai had disappeared, replaced by an extraordinary sense of joy.

It was expected that the emperor could like this thing, but the degree of his love made Hama not expect, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"What kind of material is this knife made of?" Emperor Zhizheng couldn't put it down, playing with a few carving knives, and continued to inquire about their origins.

Since Hama was able to get his hands on these objects, he was naturally familiar with these things: "I can't hide anything from Your Majesty's discernment, according to the son of the old craftsman, he was fortunate enough to get three small pieces of extraterrestrial meteorite iron when he was traveling, and after returning to Dadu, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask the most famous blacksmith in our capital to forge them, and finally these treasures were baked." ”

Emperor Zhizheng listened to Hama's narration and nodded again and again, and liked the three carving knives even more in his heart.

Hama also found the right time to propose: "The 'Xianting Palace Leak' designed by His Majesty himself can be made with these treasures this time." ”

"That's right! If you don't say it, I'll almost forget about it! Emperor Zhizheng was even more happy when he heard Hama's proposal, "Quick! Concubine Xiang, send someone to get my design drawings! ”

There is a saying that "I am born to be useful", Emperor Zhizheng is not good at calligraphy and painting, and he does not like to deal with government affairs, and he is not even interested in the unparalleled riding skills of the Mongols, but he is such a lazy emperor, and he is a first-class genius in terms of construction technology and engineering production.

Emperor Zhizheng can be said to be self-taught in this way, and has an extremely outstanding talent.

He had to personally inquire about the expansion and renovation of the imperial palace in Dadu, and gathered craftsmen to design it together, and he was able to carry out such a simple and effective practice for many years, and Emperor Zheng made rapid progress.

It didn't take long for him to settle for the architectural design of palaces and gardens, but to spend time making new things that came to his mind.

Once Emperor Zhizheng suddenly became interested and wanted to go boating on the lake, but he felt that the boat he was riding was not imposing, so he personally designed and built a "dragon boat".

The dragon boat was drawn by Emperor Zhizheng himself, the bow and stern were 120 feet long, 20 feet wide, and the ship had all kinds of facilities such as curtain sheds, corridors, and warm pavilions, and the hull was covered in colorful gold.

The bow of the ship is decorated with a lifelike openwork faucet, two dragon claws on both sides of the front of the hull, and a dragon-tail flag that moves with the wind in the attic at the stern.

When the 24 sailors on the dragon boat walked with a penny, the waves drove the dark valve of the dragon boat to rotate, and the dragon head, dragon claws, and dragon tail moved with it, and the whole dragon boat was divided into waves like a real dragon in the world.

Hama was exiled from Beijing due to the scourge of party strife, and Emperor Zhizheng, who was not accompanied by him, spent more time on designing clever things, and at this time, Hama said that the "Xianting Palace Leak" was another masterpiece under the whim of Emperor Zhizheng.

The leaky pot is a tool used to keep time, and there are special eunuchs in the palace to keep the time.

Emperor Zhizheng suddenly became interested in this thing one day, and felt that it was a wonderful thing, so he ordered someone to find a leaky pot and open it himself.

As a result, because the internal structure of the palace leak was too simple, Emperor Zhizheng was extremely dissatisfied, so he complained to the concubine next to him: "What is the difference between this and the mundane things used by ordinary people? How can it be used to tell the time? ”

Concubine Xiang, who knew the emperor's intentions, took the opportunity to suggest: "Such mundane things naturally can't enter Your Majesty's eyes, why don't Your Majesty personally design and modify them, and make a strange thing for future generations to admire?" ”

"That's a good idea!"

Concubine Xiang's suggestion reached the heart of Emperor Zhizheng, and immediately approved her proposal, and immediately sent someone to collect all kinds of leaky pots for detailed research.

It wasn't until after the official reappearance of the detachment that Emperor Zhizheng gradually became ill, and the production of this thing was delayed.

Every word that Emperor Zhizheng said on weekdays, Concubine Xiang had to report to Hama, and such a thing was naturally the top priority, so Hama tried her best to involve herself.

As the only favored retainer of Emperor Zhizheng, it has long become his habit to please the emperor.

His ugly appearance, his hypocritical smile, and his gloomy scheming are all in the service of this habit, and if he loses this habit, then he will be like a fish without water, and he will not live long.

Seeing that the emperor was extremely happy at this time, Hama hurriedly glanced at Concubine Xiang and motioned her to immediately find the design of this Xianting Palace leak.

"The concubine will do it."

Concubine Xiang walked out of the Qingxin Hall with curly steps, personally took two palace maids to get the picture, and did not forget to instruct the eunuch on duty to change the emperor and Hama with new tea.

When Concubine Xiang went to get the picture, Hama was not idle, and he approached the emperor's bed to help him arrange the quilt and clothes - this is Hama's exclusive glory.

Emperor Zhizheng played with the three carving knives for a long time, and then observed the patterns on the jade box for a long time before carefully putting them away and placing them beside him.

"In this whole world, you are really the only one who understands me best, and can share my worries the most." Emperor Zhizheng stared at Hama who was cleaning up the bed, and suddenly let out this emotion.

Hama was stunned, and replied casually: "Why are there thousands of Great Yuan courtiers, all of them can share the worries of Your Majesty, but Hama is so close that Your Majesty can see it." ”

"You have to belittle yourself!"

Emperor Zhizheng frowned around and denied Hama's words: "I have been sitting on this dragon chair for some years, and many things in and out of this palace have long been seen clearly. ”

Emperor Zhizheng's words were suddenly mixed with a hint of loneliness, "This Manchu courtier said that he was loyal to the emperor, but in fact, most of them were not loyal to me, but to the dragon chair under my buttocks, or to the interests of the family and themselves. ”

Hama lowered his head and listened, did not interject, and after packing up his things, he took a small stool and sat down, listening carefully to the emperor's heart.

"Those courtiers don't care, they are my queens, and their hearts are not towards me."

Ha Ma chuckled in his heart, knowing that Emperor Zhizheng said that it was Queen Qi nine times out of ten, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked on his face: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" The two queens are virtuous and virtuous, and they are the mothers of the world, and they govern the harem in an orderly manner, and they naturally want to share their worries for His Majesty. ”

"Mother of the world?" Emperor Zhizheng, who was sitting on the couch, snorted coldly as he muttered Hama's words, and then changed to a more comfortable posture and leaned on the soft pillow and sighed: "I don't think it's better to say that the mother is more expensive than the child!" I have long been gone in the eyes of the queen, only my prince! ”
