Got drunk yesterday and forgot to update -_- made up today

-----------------------------------------------

From Jiangnan to the capital, there are two roads to take, one is by land and the other is by water.

Compared with the land route, it is undoubtedly much easier to take the waterway, you can sit all the way to the capital by boat, eat and live on the boat, and you don't have to sleep in the open. Although the land route is faster than the water route, it is not easy to run more than 2,000 miles on horseback.

The eunuch was in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his life, so he chose to travel by land.

It's boring to travel, and it's too sinful to ride a horse all day.

At the end of the first day, Li Chuan became a lap leg, and the balls hurt badly.

As for the little eunuch who came to deliver the message, he was also tired.

However, Li Chuan admired this eggless guy a little, he could endure this kind of hardship, and this little eunuch was not useless, at least he was much better than some scholars who couldn't carry it on their shoulders and couldn't carry it in their hands.

The little eunuch went to Li Yuanqing, and he was from Li Chuan's family.

On this day, everyone entered the Shandong territory, and when they rested at the post station in the Qingzhou Prefecture boundary, Li Chuan took the initiative to show goodwill, gave Li Yuanqing a few rare things, and said: "A little heart, please also ask your father-in-law to smile." ”

"What is this?"

The little eunuch played with a windproof lighter, not knowing the purpose.

Li Chuan took it, lit the fire, and said, "This is a Western-made lighter, and it is very convenient to ignite." ”

"This is a Westerner lighter?"

Eunuch Li's eyes lit up, he had heard about it in the palace, it was said that Zhao Yuan's father-in-law in Jiangyin gave the emperor a batch of Western goods, which were very exquisite, but he had never had the opportunity to see them, and his eyes lit up when he saw this lighter that could produce flames.

"Yes, it's amazing!"

Eunuch Li nodded happily, played with it a few times, and sighed again: "I don't want the land of Western barbarians, craftsmen can make such exquisite things, such treasures are hard to find, you have a heart!" ”

Li Chuan said: "My father-in-law is polite, maybe we were still a family five years ago, please take care of my father-in-law." ”

"Well said, well said!"

Eunuch Li's face was much better, and he immediately forgot about Li Chuan hitting him at Ying Tianfu, took a wind-up baby toy car, and fiddled with it a few times under Li Chuan's guidance, and immediately exclaimed the fetish.

When it was time to eat, Li Chuan took out a large amount of food from the package.

Spicy beef, spiced donkey meat, Moutai ......

Eunuch Li and a group of Jinyi Wei who accompanied him were eye-opening, but they were soon sweating profusely by the spicy beef, there were no chili peppers in this era, and the spicy condiments were only dogwood, but the taste was too far from the chili peppers.

"It's spicy!"

Eunuch Li hissed and inhaled the cool air, and asked: "What kind of flavor is this, dogwood is not this taste, and it is not so spicy, our tongue is almost numb, but this body is warm, this thing is good, it can keep out the cold." ”

Li Chuan said with a smile: "This is a Western-made chili, this is only slightly spicy, and there are even spicier than this, even if it is cold, it can make people sweat." The north is very cold, if the soldiers at the border can eat these chili peppers, the winter should be better! ”

Li Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Can you have the seeds of this pepper?" ”

Li Chuan nodded: "I planted some peppers in my next home." ”

Li Yuanqing was a little anxious, and asked, "Do you have it with you?" ”

Li Chuan nodded, it's not simple to order seeds, just buy them on Taobao.

Li Yuanqing rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Father-in-law, I don't know if His Majesty is summoning him to enter Beijing under ......"

Li Chuan took the opportunity to ask, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Li Yuanqing shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't know about this, but I heard that Your Majesty is very happy." ”

Li Chuan was speechless, what kind of news is this.

Looking for an opportunity, he gave a few gadgets to the head of Jinyiwei, and said with a smile: "Please accept it with a little heart." ”

"Thank you!"

Sun Baihu was immediately happy, these Western things were extremely rare and valuable, he had already seen them with hot eyes, and was about to run up to find an opportunity to ask Li Chuan for a few collections, but he didn't expect Li Chuan to take the initiative to send them over.

"You're welcome!"

Li Chuan said with a smile: "How does Lord Sun look at my two family members, can you help me practice one or two?" ”

"It's a trivial matter, wrapped up in Sun."

Sun Baihu happily agreed, it was just a matter of practicing the family, which was indeed a trivial matter.

After resting at the inn for the night, before dawn the next day, everyone set off to continue their journey.

Passing through Shandong, entering the boundary of Jingshi, all the way you see hungry people everywhere, compared with the people in the south of the Yangtze River, the people in the north say that life in the water and fire are a little lighter, and the Yangtze River seems to divide the north and south into two worlds.

The smoke and rain in the south are vast, and it is still a peaceful and prosperous world.

The north is full of flames, and there are refugees who can't survive.

Li Chuan even saw cannibalism, this tragic scene made him unable to laugh until he arrived in the capital, as if he had pressed a stone in his heart, both sympathy for those people and anger towards those in power.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, people hundreds of years later can't imagine how miserable the people will be.

When he arrived in the capital, Li Chuan didn't even have the heart to visit the grandeur of the capital, so he stayed in the pavilion and waited for the emperor to summon him.

And that night, an excerpt arrived in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Chili pepper can keep out the cold, and it is used by border soldiers......"

The next day, after waiting all morning, the emperor did not send anyone to summon him.

In the afternoon, Li Chuan was about to go shopping on the street, and finally a will came from the palace.

Li Chuan hurriedly cleaned up, explained that Zhao Tiezhu and Hu Laosi were waiting for him in the pavilion, and they were not allowed to run around, and then carried a box and a bag and followed the little eunuch who came to deliver the decree into the palace to see Emperor Chongzhen, and he was worried all the way.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and the sky is unpredictable, and it is really a blessing and a curse.

And when today's temperament is unpredictable, and he kills ministers at every turn, in the eyes of literati and doctors, Emperor Chongzhen is synonymous with cruelty and tyranny, which makes him not worried, just afraid that he will be pulled out and cut if he is not small.

After entering the palace, I walked all the way around and walked for a while before I came to a side hall.

The little eunuch didn't go in, but reported it outside the door.

Soon, the eunuch's salute came from inside: "Your Majesty has an order, pass on Li Chuan to see you!" ”

Li Chuan hurriedly stepped into the main hall, looked up, and saw Emperor Chongzhen, who was in his thirties, wearing a dragon robe, sitting behind the wide imperial case. However, is this really Emperor Chongzhen, no, Emperor Chongzhen has been on the throne for less than ten years, and now he is only in his twenties, why is he not only so old, but even most of his hair is white.

Next to the imperial case, the great eunuch Wang Chengen stood solemnly.

Seeing Li Chuan looking at the emperor blankly, he didn't kneel, the big eunuch raised his eyebrows and immediately scolded.

"Bold, still don't knock on Your Majesty?"

Li Chuan was excited, and he knelt down and shouted long live, but he was full of slander in his heart.

"Flat!"

Emperor Chongzhen was expressionless, staring downward.

Li Chuan hurriedly stood up and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen above.

"Bold!"

Wang Chengen scolded again, his eyelids jumping.

This is really a dog's audacity, and he dares to stare at His Majesty unscrupulously.

Li Chuan was a little confused, looking at Wang Chengen in puzzlement, not knowing where he had provoked him again.

Wang Chengen's face turned green, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he saw Li Chuan's puzzled eyes.

I just wanted to scold, but was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen waving his hand.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Chuan and said, "I heard that you have a good way to make money, and you have dealings with Western businessmen, and your Western goods are really exquisite, which makes me also amazed, but I don't know where you come from the West?" ”

Li Chuan has already had a case, and said: "Xiyi is less than the country, but the country is small, but also good for craftsmen and businessmen, to rejuvenate the country with craftsmen, to trade and circulation of strong countries, the goods sold by students from Xiyi Germany, the other country is a great Xingge of the study of things, there are countless skilled craftsmen, the things made are all incredible, lighters are only one of them, students have a thing to offer, please look at it." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Bring it up!" ”

Li Chuan immediately ran outside the hall and brought in the big box placed outside the hall.

Hands and feet quickly dismantled the box and took out the BMW baby electric car inside.

Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were both a little curious and watched him toss.

"What's the use of this?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the BMW stroller on the ground and asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Li Chuan turned on the switch of the electric car, and immediately there was music playing, he took the remote control, pressed it casually, and the electric car immediately ran up in the hall, turning left and right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward.

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen's mouth was wide open, and his jaw fell to the ground.

Wang Chengen was dumbfounded, with a ghostly expression on his face.
