Chapter 322: The Emperor's Decision
Mobile reading
"Palm Lamp!" Wei Zhongxian raised his head and looked out the window, the light outside was already very low, and the little eunuch beside him hurriedly came over and put the lamps of the two glass lampshades on his table, and then carefully removed the lampshades, took out a small paper box from his sleeve pocket, and opened it to see that there were half-filled small wooden sticks, each with a big red head in front of it. The little eunuch carefully took out one, rubbed it on the black rough paper skin on the side of the paper box, and with a crisp snort, the red head of the little wooden stick was ignited, and he carefully used this burning little wooden stick to make up on the wick, only to see that the yellow flame immediately appeared on the wick, and someone next to him was equally careful to put the glass lampshade that had been placed aside back on the lampstand. The room was soon lit up by these two oil lamps, although the cold wind was still blowing and snowflakes were blowing outside, but the oil lamps in the house were shining under the yellow of the firelight, which made people feel a lot warmer in their hearts.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the two oil lamps, nodded slightly, and said to himself, "The things of the people are indeed good!" ”
These two oil lamps were presented by Huang Qiushengjin, the governor of Annan, and the day of their departure was actually the same day as the departure date of the book proposed by the governor of Annan to borrow troops to help suppress the people, but because these things are glass products, and the number is large, it is impossible to arrive quickly through the post station, so they can only send a special team to escort them, and it took more than ten days on the road to hurry up to the Jingshi that was sent to the people, in the name of the tribute of the people.
The main party of the Far Sect is the main party of the Lonely Technique
This tribute is very new and interesting, in addition to the kerosene lamps and matches that are now in use, there are many new things. Although he didn't know how many of the scales on the above represented, it was very useful to be able to divide the decile into the emperor and the carpenter in the emperor of the carpenter, and he wanted to directly promote this scale measurement method to the whole country to facilitate carpenter construction, but this idea of "taking it for granted and not helping agriculture at all" was naturally resisted by the ministers, and once again let Zhu Youxiao disperse early. In fact, for Zhu Youxiao, the current emperor's life is getting more and more difficult, with the Donglin Party being gradually eradicated by Wei Zhongxian, the "spirit" of the Donglin Party has not gradually disappeared, but has become a style of fighting against the eunuchs, and has become a peculiar atmosphere for the ministers to emulate. Any official who dares to go against the emperor will be sought after by the people for no reason, and if officials want to be famous in history, there are basically only two ways to go, one is filial piety - the price of this can be passed is too great, and the most important thing is that there must be a sick father or mother, and you have to take care of it for decades, the cost is too high, and the fame rate is not very high, so the remaining road has become what everyone wants to try - scolding the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao is not a bad emperor, this emperor who has repeatedly vetoed tax increases and donations is just too lazy to go to the court because he doesn't want to hear this group of officials who attack each other in the court, and find a place in the palace to do his favorite carpenter work, but in the eyes of the people, he has become a bad emperor who only likes to do useless things regardless of the world, so any official who dares to confront the emperor in court will become a good official in their eyes. In this way, any ideas and resolutions put forward by the emperor will be vetoed by the ministers to a large extent, and in many cases even collectively vetoed, and Zhu Youxiao cannot kill them, because if he ordered to kill those officials, the people would even more scold him as a dog emperor, such a strange vicious circle has been in a vicious circle for so many years, and it has become such a strange scene today. Zhu Youxiao, who was vetoed to promote woodworking measuring tools, naturally walked away, leaving a large group of officials complacent in the court, celebrating the defeat of the emperor's "absurd and incredible" resolution again.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not disappointed because his opinion was rejected, because the things sent by the people included the ones he was most interested in - models! These models are not just common things like furniture, but things that he can't even name, such as a model of a boat that can be placed in the water and move with the wind, a model of a vehicle that can move forward with the flexible turn of the pedals, and what interests him the most is a strange thing like a dragonfly.
This wood dragonfly has three sets of wings, two of which are located in the dragonfly's predecessor, one of which is in the middle of the torso, another is in the upper part of this set of wings, and a set of small wings is located on the tail of the dragonfly. Although Zhu Youxiao didn't know what this thing was for, it seemed that it should be the kind of flying "wooden bird" that he had seen in the image of the bearded man before. Sending these models to Zhu Youxiao is equivalent to putting a table of delicacies in front of the hungry, or sending a beautiful woman without clothes to the front of an old pervert, which instantly aroused Zhu Youxiao's interest. At that time, he gave an order to let people go to Annam, and in any case, he would invite a few carpenters from the port of the East to come to the capital to show him these things and explain to him in detail the principles of these things. But without waiting for the order to leave the palace, he was stopped by himself, and he also knew that his reputation was not very good, and now if the matter of summoning the carpenter from Dongfang Port to the capital was known by the ministers, he would naturally be attacked by the ministers in the court, and people with ulterior motives would even make up nursery rhymes to spread and ridicule him in the world, so even if he claimed to be the master of the world, there was no way to do anything about these things.
"It's really pitiful......" While thinking about these things, Wei Zhongxian muttered to himself, the little eunuch next to him was stunned, they didn't hear clearly, and someone asked timidly, "Old Ancestor, what did you just say?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just talk about it casually," Wei Zhongxian shook his head, of course he couldn't tell the emperor's affairs, let alone in front of these little eunuchs. "Is the emperor in a mood today?" He had been in the celebrant all day, and only when it was dark did he dare to secretly review the recital, so he didn't know what the emperor had done today.
"The emperor spent a day in the carpentry workshop today, as if he said that he wanted to make a car that could walk on his own." The little eunuch hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Wooden cow flowing horse, right?" Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly, Zhu Youxiao is very concerned about the woodworking products mentioned in the ancient books, from the wooden ox and the horse to the Luban bird, he has always wanted to recover in his own hands, even the guide car was made by the emperor himself, "Our emperor is one of the best carpentry jobs in the world, it should be no problem." ”
After the branch of the ghost of the post-school institute of yangshu
"That's that, that's." Although the little eunuchs next to them said it, they were a little disappreciative in their hearts, the wooden ox and the flowing horse have been in history for hundreds of years, but it has not been handed down until now, if it really exists, how can it be lost?
"The emperor has arrived!" With a sharp cry from outside, several people in the room were startled, "The emperor is here?" Wei Zhongxian was also taken aback, he didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to come to him at this time, but now that he had come, he hurried out to receive him. He hurriedly walked towards the door with a fur coat in his hand, and the little eunuch by the door hurriedly pushed the door open, and a cold wind blew in, blowing out the oil lamps on the walls on both sides of the room, leaving only the two "kerosene lamps" on the table still on, not affected at all.
"Wei Banban!" A cordial call came, making Wei Zhongxian hurriedly lean down to meet him, and he had already shouted in his mouth, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live......
Before Wei Zhongxian's words were finished, he was already pulled up by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was wearing a robe that was not very thick, his face was red, he obviously had a fierce exercise just now, and he didn't know what he was doing, and he was even a little panting. Wei Zhongxian got up and hurriedly draped his fur fur on the emperor's shoulders, "The emperor's golden body, how can you wear so little to walk outside in such a cold season!" What if I get a cold? As he spoke, he scolded a few eunuchs accompanying him, "You too, don't you have a brain?" If the emperor is sick, can you afford it? ”
"It's okay, I'm still hot!" As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao took off the fur fur on his body and stuffed it back into Wei Zhongxian's hand, and excitedly pulled Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Banban, I really built a wooden ox and a flowing horse today!" As he spoke, he grabbed Wei Zhongxian's hand and ran out.
Wei Zhongxian's old arms and legs were almost dragged down by the young emperor, and finally caught up with the emperor's pace and rushed out of the courtyard. Sure enough, there was a four-wheeled vehicle parked outside the courtyard, the structure of this car can be described as very simple, only a complete frame, and there are not many seats inside, just a few square benches on the floor. If someone from the Oriental Port is on the scene, they will definitely recognize it at a glance as a human-powered four-wheeled vehicle named Rolls-Royce by the patriarchs of the Oriental Port.
Zhu Youxiao is very smart, he estimated the layout of the transmission mechanism from the vehicle model, and directly imitated one in the woodworking workshop, although the workmanship of this car is rough and simple, and there is no common "gearbox" in every human equipment, but only through a model can imitate a car, which is too much beyond the ability of an "emperor".
"Come on! Wei Banban sat up, "Zhu Youxiao excitedly stuffed Wei Zhongxian into the car, and asked two eunuchs to sit in the back, and arranged a eunuch in front to hold the light, and then everyone sat in the car, and under his order, they began to step on the drive pedal together. Although it is said that the eunuchs and maids in the palace will clear the snow every day, but now the palace is full of snow. Usually going out at this time is something that everyone is reluctant to do, because whether it is a pedestrian, a sedan chair, or even a donkey cart or an ox cart, it will be difficult to drive and walk because of the snow slipping or the snow is too deep.
But now, with several people in the car pressing the pedals together, the frame car is slowly moving forward on the snow, and as the speed increases, the feet are becoming more and more effortless. Zhu Youxiao drove the frame car, took a circle next to the celebrant supervisor, and then returned to the gate of the celebrant before stopping to let everyone get out of the car. When he walked into the room of the celebrant and supervisor, Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian with an excited face, "How about the car I built today?" This is really a wooden cow and a flowing horse! You don't need horses or cows to pull you to be able to drive at this speed, right? ”
"Of course! The emperor's craftsmanship is unparalleled in the world! Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, Zhu Youxiao's face darkened, and he sighed and said, "Don't say that, I just made it according to the model sent by the people, if you want to say that there is no one in the world, those people are!" They were the first to do it! ”
"That's different!" Of course, Wei Zhongxian would not embarrass the emperor, and hurriedly said, "The emperor can make it from scratch just by looking at the model they sent, which is already self-taught!" It's the luck of the Wu Dynasty! ”
"Alas, if only my ministers had such thoughts!" Zhu Youxiao sighed again, "They know that I don't do my job properly and don't care about the lives of the people in the world." As he spoke, he walked to Wei Zhongxian's table, picked up a few copies of the recital, and flipped through them casually, "In this world, except for rebellion, rebellion is rebellion, am I really a bad emperor?" ”
When the eunuchs next to them heard this, they were so frightened that they all quickly knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor!" My emperor is wise! ”
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and threw back the first piece of music on it, "Xiangling is in a hurry, Shanxi is in a hurry!" "I flipped through the second piece and threw it back, "Northern Shaanxi is in an emergency, and the eunuch who guards the town is sick and died, is there no good thing in this world?" As he spoke, he walked around the room with a piece of music in his hand, "It's not that I don't want to take care of this state affairs, but I don't know how to take care of this state affairs!" If it weren't for Wei Banban's help me worry, I'm afraid I would have died of anger a long time ago! As he spoke, he opened the third piece, his face changed suddenly, and then a hint of joy hung on his eyebrows, and he immediately laughed, "It's okay, it's okay!" I still have a capable warrior under my command! As he spoke, he handed the piece to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly opened it, and it was written that Shanxi Taiping had won a great victory, killing more than thousands of rebels, and Zhang Cunmeng, the first bandit of the 36th battalion of suspected robbers. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the most dangerous place in Shanxi is actually in Taiping, the main force of the Wang monk's chaotic army is on the way to besiege Taiping at the moment, he also specially asked the Shanxi battalion to send troops to relieve the siege of Taiping City not long ago, but the Shanxi battalion always refuses to send troops on the grounds that "the weather is bad and cannot advance".
Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked into Wei Zhongxian's eyes and asked, "Wei Banban, do you think that group of people are happy or worried about my Dawu?" ”
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and finally said categorically, "According to the information from the south, since the year before last, the people of the Beard have been in Anyun since the year before last, although they occupy the land of my Dawu, they have never burned, killed and plundered, but also accepted the victims and kept the peace of the party. ”
"Hmm!" Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully, and said after a while, "Then agree to let them go north to quell the chaos, and give them that Jiaozhou Bay, I want to be able to solve the chaos in Shaanxi, Jin, and Henan as soon as possible, and the bandits can be quelled as soon as possible, so that the world can be peaceful!" ”
