For Zheng Sen, this night was a little apprehensive.

Although it is certain that these elders in the imperial capital are acting mildly, at least they will not kill people at will, as for the dead landlords who are not eye-opening, they naturally have their own way of taking death, and outsiders will not have any class sympathy.

However, the matter of offering auspicious rui, he is also waiting anxiously, although it should be very safe, no matter what, it is not a mistake to spend money to find someone to advocate the eternal prosperity of the imperial capital.

This is really effective, at least the first week of the Sanli Weekly has been delivered for printing, and it seems that the upper echelons of the imperial capital have no objection to this.

The ship of "Xiangrui" transported by Tianjin Wei is still waiting at the customs, of course, people still need to come up with ideas, but this trip should be effective.

In fact, what Zheng Zhilong wants is really simple, the imperial capital of the left and right has not even taken Shandong, and Fujian will not get the most fruitful reward if he expresses a certain amount of loyalty and support to them.

But after being cold for a day, he felt that something was wrong, and at the same time, the atmosphere in the imperial capital became weird.

Finally anxious to wait until the morning, he slowly opened his eyes, there are a lot of people with him, there are already maids ready to wait, see the master woke up, immediately brought mouthwash water and towels, after washing, people are also in good spirits, wait out of the bedroom, to the downstairs, my sister is already waiting, she is wearing a Japanese kimono, seems to be looking at this magazine, silent.

Zheng Sen took a special look, this sister usually changes into the new clothes in those boutiques in the imperial capital, at least the high heels and sunglasses must be worn, but they were given by a female elder herself, what is going on today?

"Big brother, in the morning, someone sent an invitation, but there was a ceremony somewhere on the outskirts of the city at ten o'clock, and it seems that it was going to be accepted with great fanfare."

"That's great."

"Now, my father can rest assured."

Erika thought of this, still very uneasy, in the imperial capital, after a long time, although not as powerful as in Fujian or Japan, even across the road there will be a big cap shouting loudly asking how to walk, but the feeling here is different, as if it is two worlds with the hometown, at least the stone-like road, in the world has never seen it.

Although she has been called back by letter once, she has always found reasons to shirk, and at the same time has done several small businesses in the imperial capital, earning a lot of profits, which can be said to be very successful.

In the end, it is the Japanese, there are some people who know each other in Fujian and Japan, even if it is just mediation, they have the money to take it, right?

Zheng Sen became excited, knowing that it was an important occasion, which was purchased from India, but not just spent money, but spent a huge amount of manpower and favors, and even in the East India Company, he was suspicious of what purpose these Chinese spent so much money to buy this unique tiger breed.

In any case, compared to the previous elders who didn't pay for oil and salt and didn't want women, they still cherish their reputations, at least the credit of this initiative from the dragon can be said.

Confucianism believes that the appearance of these phenomena is the approval or commendation of the emperor's actions and policies issued by the heavens, and it is the important work of Confucianism to observe and explain these phenomena.

The strange animals that appear are auspicious, and the celestial phenomena are auspicious, anyway, they are all what Confucianism says, there is no merit and nothing beneficial to the country, anyway, with auspicious rui, many fools can be in a high position.

When King Wu of Zhou attacked the Shang Dynasty, a white fish jumped into the boat, and a flame descended to the roof of King Wu's house, and then turned into a bird, these auspicious rays are considered to be a symbol of God's appointment of King Wu as the Son of Heaven. Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is said to have appeared in the sky when he was the emperor, and there were many other auspicious planets, and since then, almost every emperor has ascended the throne, and some auspicious rays have appeared. The courtiers, who were mainly Confucianists, also reported the discovery of auspiciousness to the emperor as a manifestation of their political achievements, so there were many cases of deception, and even the more corrupt the government, the more auspicious the more.

As the first person to eat crabs on a large scale, the Zheng family is definitely a big deal, in fact, many people are also ignorant With the advent of the Age of Discovery, the white skin that ran over quickly made them understand that the world is very big, and all kinds of strange animals are regarded as auspicious, which is a little ridiculous.

You must know that Zhu Di, as the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has seen giraffes.

We all know that the unicorn is an ancient mythical beast, which is said to live for 2,000 years. If a young man is named Qilin by his elders, he is a successor with high hopes, so the ancient emperors fantasized that they could appear Qilin this auspicious Rui to prove that they are virtuous, even if they don't, they have to find someone to make up the story of the Qilin.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, someone did give the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di a Rui beast unicorn, the history of the Ming Dynasty records, Yongle ten years, a small country called Bang Ge Ra in order to express respect for the Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, sent someone to offer the legendary Chinese beast, the unicorn!

For a time, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, because no one had ever seen this ancient beast, on the day of the beast, the whole Beijing city was very lively, the people and officials rushed to watch, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was also looking at the neck was sore, and after waiting for a long time, the messenger of Bang Ge Ra finally led the unicorn into Beijing City, and the big guy was very excited when he saw the unicorn, it was like a dream.

Emperor Yongle is even more happy, immediately ordered the younger brother to write a poem to record this fortunate event, of course, the text must be to praise the Yongle Emperor, not only that, but also ordered the court painter to paint this grand occasion, this painting is called "Ruiying Qilin Picture".

Poor Yongle Emperor was lucky or unfortunate to give this order, and fortunately there is such a painting that has been handed down, so that we are fortunate to see the appearance of the divine beast unicorn, but when we open the picture scroll, it turns out that the so-called unicorn is actually a giraffe!

Giraffes are native to Africa, and have never been seen in China. Therefore, since ancient times, the people of China have never seen it, and they don't want this hole to be exploited by the Bang Ge people, so they took the giraffe and pretended to be a unicorn and fooled Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a farce.

Of course, this is also difficult for the people of that small country to travel thousands of miles to China, which is hard.

Of course, when future generations see the painting of a giraffe, they also have to write a word for clothing.

Zheng Sen and his sister had breakfast, and after cleaning up, they were surrounded by people to go to that address, and before they arrived, they saw a crowd of people in the distance, which was naturally their own place, and when they got closer and closer, they found that although there were many people, they were standing very neatly, and there was a special person to guide them to a place.

There are several elders there, all waiting for him at this time, which makes Zheng Sen's heart also hot, no matter how he says that he is true or false He has studied with Qian Qianyi for a few years, although he can't learn anything from such a waste who can only read four books and five classics, just like playing chess with a stinky chess basket The more he plays, the more stinky it becomes.

However, in Zheng Sen's mind, there is still a little desire to help the world and become a prime minister.

However, he took a closer look, but found that something was wrong, and before he could feel anything wrong, he saw Wu Ming suddenly come over, handed over a stack of paper, and said: "Zheng Gongzi, wait a minute, this is your speech, you can take a look at it first, of course, if there is any impromptu speech, you can also find a way to consider it yourself, I think you can." ”

Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, since ancient times, China has not paid attention to so-called speeches or incendiary speeches, because articles are not on the top, and what is important is to use moral traps or lofty deception to win, as for the kind of incendiary speeches belonging to Hitler, they are not good at it in the first place.

They are better at using all kinds of sour and rare words, and the more obscure and better words they use, they show their erudition, rather than using more precise, effective, and provocative words.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was brilliant in his writings, but he couldn't resist a song of death without a wave of Liaodong, the entire Great Qin was extremely powerful, but he died in that sentence, and the prince and the prince would have a kind of above!

It can be said that the article is gorgeous and the words are elegant, but it often can't withstand the occasional heartfelt words of the pure masters!

Zheng Sen hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the venue carefully, feeling very different.

There were several squares in front of me, and there were rows of young children, and many people, all wearing uniforms with vertical buttons in the middle, no matter how you look at it, it was a very formal party.

However, those great Confucian elders who should appear, as well as the drums of various sacrifices, and the Taoist priests chanting scriptures.

Zheng Sen was steady, listening to the speech of an elder next to his seat, and looking at the speech.

"For this ceremony, first of all, I would like to thank Zheng's Logistics Company for donating the rare animals of the Western Regions, the Bengal white tiger and the East African white rhinoceros, these two rare animals will be the treasures of the zoo and open to visitors, and there are other animals such as Siberian tigers, bears, wild boars and other animals in the zoo, everyone is welcome to watch."

"Why are we building a zoo? In the final analysis, it is to broaden the people's horizons, don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, read thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, this journey of thousands of miles, the main purpose is to see this different landscape, so as not to be deceived, here I mainly talk about it, in the West, there are some natives, very uninformed, do not understand anything, as a result, a group of businessmen, with a few pennies and a pocket of glass balls, in exchange for the gold and silver in their hands, this is because there is no knowledge, so, if you want not to be deceived, the first thing is to read more, how long to see! ”

Zheng Sen didn't listen well, although he didn't know what the zoo was, but there was the word animal, but it could be roughly guessed, and the speech was basically how his family discovered this rare and exotic beast, so he got it to the imperial capital, increased his knowledge for the people, and he could not be deceived in the future, and he must resolutely unite in the empire with the Presbyterian Church as the core, and continue to move forward for the goal of only one China in the world.

At the same time, he also made clear his stance in the speech, resolutely opposing separatism and opposing support for the decadent feudal dynasty......

But how could it be!

The donation ceremony is still very formal, and the work of the presbyterian church is highly efficient, but after an hour, Zheng Sen was taken to the outside of the White Tiger Pavilion, but a huge metal plaque was erected outside the hall, with countless small characters written on it, but Zheng Sen looked at it, which meant that this thing was kindly donated by Zheng Zhilong, a big businessman in Fujian (Zheng Zhilong's official status in the Ming Dynasty was ignored), and it was not easy to transport it all the way to Middle Earth.

Zheng Sen remembered that after arriving in the imperial capital a few days ago, he bought a ticket to go to the palace, well, now it should be called the Palace Museum, went there to see, and was very shocked that the majestic palace has become a place that can be visited by civilians for money.

At that time, he had seen that some cultural relics were placed in those palaces, and they were all full of sources, and even some dukes of the Ming Dynasty and some elders signed and donated them.

This means that as long as the museum is still there, then the name of the donor can be preserved forever, which can be regarded as an honor.

Next to the palace, a palace named the Louvre, according to the Elders, means the capture of the Tartars, and in the future, the soldiers of the Elder's army, all the gains made overseas can be donated to this museum, so that their good name will be preserved forever.

Of course, at present, there are only two or three kittens in the Louvre, but they are all bow and arrow costumes of the original Jurchens, the utensils of the decaying Korean royal family, and some recent captures in Vietnam, which are not unusual, but it is the jade Buddha captured by the Nguyen clan in Vietnam that makes Zheng Sen stunned, and the wide glass box, which can be seen from a long distance, is lifelike with a simple light in the light that is not too bright.

This can be regarded as a famous name in history.

However, this is different from what Zheng Sen originally thought.

After the opening of the kindergarten, many students in the class were taken to see the animals, and of course, as a school with extreme teaching methods that can anger the vast majority of parents in later generations, the education of the elders is basically practical.

"One essay per person, eight hundred words, can't be written deeply rewritten!"

Such a threat can cause students to wail and cry out in pain on any time and space.

For Zheng Sen, this activity of offering auspicious rui is basically a failure, ah, maybe it can only be said that it was not successful, and it cannot be said to be a failure.

As a celebration of the new animals in the park, the whole zoo is free to enter on this day, many people have run in and around, a few scholars stared wide-eyed, looking into the distance, it was a huge tiger park, in the ground big deep ditch, they could look down, at this time in an iron cage, a goat was pushed out, followed, the tiger paced, looked at the frightened goat with nowhere to hide, suddenly roared, and pounced forward.
