Whether it is Zhu Cihong's visit to Guo Zhenren, or Zhu Hegui and Mr. Tian Shuang's garden conversation, they are like sand surging in a turbulent river, buried deep under the waves. Even the person concerned does not know how his psychology has changed, and the course of his life does not seem to be affected.

However, the real influence remained, and Zhu and Gui began to work on the natural sciences, while studying the law and the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures on their own. Zhu Cihong restrained his interference with his son and began to quietly observe his son's changes. He knew that his eldest son was in adolescence, and this was the time when rebellion and self filled every thought, and it was at this age that he was determined to become a rich man.

In order to rebel against his father, a high and almost arrogant middle school teacher.

Yes, in his previous life, his father was a respected Chinese teacher with the demeanor of an ancient gentleman, and he very much hoped that his son could make achievements in literature and history and complete his academic dream, but his son embarked on the road of making money without hesitation. This made the father-son relationship not improve until the end of the previous life.

……

"Actually, I still love my father very much." Zhu Cihong had tears in his eyes, tilted his head, and did not let the tears flow.

Sitting opposite the emperor was an elderly eunuch with no beard. Although he sat quietly, he still couldn't hide the aura of soldierhood emanating from his body. It's just that his current identity is no longer a military person, but a university professor - a professor of psychology at Jingshi University.

His name is Chen Chong, and he used to wear the rank of major general as a training officer of the Southwest Group Army.

As the originator of imperial psychology, Zhu Cihong himself was not a good psychiatrist. He could not have had so much time and energy to study, think, and practice psychology. In order to better grasp the hearts of the people, the Discipline Department has cultivated a large number of soldiers loyal to the emperor and the empire, and at the same time solved the psychological problems of some warriors. He has invested greatly in the field of psychology, and has found a way of psychoanalysis in the past few decades, following the path pointed out by His Majesty the Emperor.

It's just that there are too few people who are really willing to receive psychological treatment or counseling, and perhaps His Majesty the Emperor is one of the few.

Or maybe not.

Chen Chong knew that His Majesty the Emperor had chosen him as his psychotherapist because of his "loyalty" rather than his "professionalism". Of the several professors in the Department of Psychology, I am afraid that his academic background is the weakest. Because he only studies the practical application of psychology. He is not as proficient as several other professors, ancient and modern, and the influence of those ideas on people.

Even so, the emperor often deliberately concealed when he spoke, and even suspected of deliberately misleading.

For example, the title "Father" is obviously not suitable for addressing Emperor Daxing.

Chen Chong put a question mark in his heart, but still buried it in his heart.

Now is the time for His Majesty the Emperor to vent his feelings, and if he interrupts it, it will definitely cause a lot of mental trauma.

However, the emperor had quickly reined in this affection, and he wiped away his tears. said: "I'm old, and my eyelids can't hold back tears. ”

Chen Chong was older than the emperor, and he just smiled slightly.

"I should probably step aside." Zhu Cihong smiled bitterly and said: "The fifty abdication I agreed with the first emperor back then...... As a result, none of us complied. ”

Chen Chong found that reason demanded that he continue to remain silent, but his feelings forced him to speak: "Your Majesty has enjoyed the country for sixty-one years, which is rare in ancient and modern times. As for Dingding, I believe that people who have experienced the national change cannot imagine that there is no Majesty...... What it would be like. ”

"I'm useless now." Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "The border is solid, and the people live in peace. The rich pay taxes obediently, and the officials dare not oppress the poor. That's all I can do. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is brave, the border of the Americas has not been completely consolidated, and the Ming Dynasty is still inseparable from His Majesty." Chen Chong seemed to have a premonition of something, and tried his best to persuade him.

"It's not my responsibility anymore." Zhu Cihong sighed: "Over the years, I have sent too many people away. I really don't want to experience the feeling of being left away anymore. I dreamed several times that I was on a train and didn't know where to go or who was walking with me. ”

Chen Chong said: "Your Majesty, this is the idea of escaping. ”

Zhu Cihong sighed and said: "I have never been a brave person, but I always have to stand on the cusp. ”

"陛xià. You're the toughest person I've ever met. Chen Chong paused and said, "Your self-discipline is like a rock, forever shining with the light and heat of the sun on this empire, leading the people forward. ”

"There are sunspots in the sun." Zhu Cihong smiled reluctantly and said, "Speaking of which, how long have you been counseling me psychologically?" ”

"It's been twenty years, Your Majesty." Chen Chong blurted out without even counting.

Zhu Cihong pursed his lips, as if he was regretful, and said proudly: "Then you didn't see through me completely." ”

"I am ashamed that the minister only came to listen to the hadith every week." Chen Chong lowered his head and said.

Zhu Cihong shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Chen Chong turned off the lights by the way when he went out, he knew that His Majesty the Emperor needed to rest for a while.

Fifty years, in Yeli's words, is half a century, and the Ming Dynasty has completely come out of the shadows.

With the successful maiden voyage of the steam-powered ironclad giant ship, the Ming Dynasty finally began its own era of sea power, turning the east of the Strait of Malacca into its own swimming pool, and even the Pacific Ocean became an inland sea between the eastern and western territories.

On the land border, because of the large-scale copper coin uprising that broke out in Russia in the twelfth year of Longjing, it had to sell the Ural Mountains to the Ming in exchange for silver and gold to quell the rebellion of the princes and the riots of the citizens of Moscow. This was not mentioned at all in the history textbooks of Zhu Cihong's previous life, but in this time and space, it became the first blow to Russia's revival.

Naturally, the shadows of the Jinyi Guard and the Military Intelligence Department floated in it.

In the twenty-third year of Longjing, Song Yingxing, as the first scientific giant after Wang Zheng, successfully found a yellow explosive that could be used as a dye, and in addition to winning the Kwai Xin Award, he was also awarded the title of Yue Guogong. His yellow explosives were soon used in the study of flowering and firearm bullets, and flourished in the twenty-five years of Longjing's war with the Ottomans.

In the twenty-fifth year of Longjing, Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou, the two fists of the empire, led their troops to break through Istanbul, and the Ottomans, who were able to fight well, could only sue for peace painfully under the power of yellow explosives, hoping that the war would end as soon as possible.

The Ming Empire eventually retreated a thousand miles and fixed its borders on the western shore of the Black Sea. As far as the Persian Gulf, Istanbul was returned, the war ended, and the Ottomans were forced to conduct trade fairly and equitably.

Both tactically and strategically, Da Ming got a perfect ending.

In the Americas, it is also due to the yellow explosives. The Spaniards eventually agreed to cede all territory north of Mexico City, and respecting the values of the Dà Ming in the Americas, legislating a ban on the slave trade and returning existing slaves to Africa in an orderly manner.

However, the war did not end there.

In the twenty-sixth year of Longjing, a border dispute broke out between the Ming Army's Southwest Frontier Army and the Mughal Empire in the Rakhine Mountains. Over the next three months, the Ming army crossed the Rakhine Mountains and occupied Bengal, while the Northwest Army broke through Kabul, arguably the birthplace of the Mughal Empire.

The war lasted for six years, and the two Ming armies in the north and south totaled 300,000 people. In Sri Lanka, the history of the Mughal Empire ended, and the Ming Dynasty had an additional Indian capital.

In the thirty-first year of Longjing, because the war gradually faded away, the military nobles had to seek a new foundation. Following the direction of the Emperor's investments, they invested the spoils of war in their new territories into scientific research. In the decade that followed, the Ming Dynasty was like a playground for scientists, and as long as there was a whimsical idea, someone was willing to invest money in it.

Because these military nobles are the ultimate beneficiaries of science and technology. Therefore, intellectual property rights in Daming have received far more attention than Zhu Cihong's expectations.

In the 37th year of Longjing, the world's first electric motor was successfully developed. Electricity entered the world after thirty-one years of gestation.

In the 38th year of Longjing, Royal Power Group was established. At the end of the same year, its subordinate lighting group Nissan Lighting bulbs 5,000. Three years later, with the rapid progress of electric motors and generators, the daily output of the light bulb group reached 30,000 in 39 factories across the country, and continued to rise.

Forty years of Longjing. Electric four-wheeled vehicles powered by chemical batteries have appeared on the streets of Jingshi.

Fifty years after Longjing, Song Yingxing finally completed his early internal combustion engine plan and built the world's first internal combustion engine. However, at this time, the electric motor of the Ming Dynasty had become the mainstream, people preferred to use electric motors that were not polluting, and almost no one could see the future from the newly born internal combustion engine.

Song Yingxing had no choice but to give the internal combustion engine to His Majesty the Emperor. This petrol-burning, dirty machine is said to be the heart of a kind of flying machine – unless the battery engine can overcome its instability and overly expensive construction. However, His Majesty the Emperor, as always, first used this new power machine qì on the train, which greatly increased the carrying capacity of the railway.

With the advent of diesel locomotives, the transportation network of Daming has continued to rise, and the mining of various industrial raw materials has become more efficient.

In the decade from 50 to 60 years of Longjing, there was an explosion of progress in productivity, and the production of materials was almost equal to that of the last 300 years combined, so that the unit of measurement had to be expanded tenfold or hundredfold.

In the sixty-seventh year of Longjing, Zhu Cihong passed the throne to the gray-haired crown prince Zhu Hegui on his eighty-eighth birthday.

Zhu Hegui had made great achievements in Confucianism, and he was not half interested in the belated emperor's throne.

He even rejected the Confucian courtiers' change of the yuan, announcing that starting from himself, and even the heir, he would continue to use the name of Longjing, so that this great era would continue for thousands of years.

In the face of his son's statement, Zhu Cihong was not at all pleased.

Because as the founder of the imperial intelligence agency, Zhu Cihong knows the truth behind this very well.

Zhu Heqi, the second son of the emperor, mastered the Imperial Guard, which terrified the whole world; The third son of the emperor, Zhu Heyuan, controlled many industries under the royal banner, especially the Huangming newspaper industry, railways, and shipping; Zhu Heyin, the fourth son of the emperor, followed Fu Shan's cultivation and was canonized by Zhu Cihong as the abbot of Quanzhen, and there is a saying that the fourth prince is said to be among the people, which is quite respected by believers;

Zhu Hetan, the fifth son of the emperor, graduated from the law school of Jingshi University, went to Europe when he was young, served as the ambassador of the emperor to the Taixi countries, presided over the first world congress, and forced the whole world to recognize the territory of the current Ming Dynasty on the issue of "respecting the territory of other countries".

He also drafted international law and established the Guangzhou International Criminal Tribunal with the backing of the Ming military. Trials for crimes against humanity such as piracy, slave trade, and genocide, and with the help of Tessie's allies, make the Ming truly a world empire.

From the moment Zhu Hegui wore the emperor's crown, he knew that his situation had not changed in the slightest, and he was still living in the shadow of his great father, the emperor.

"Since I can't change it, don't change any of you."

The new emperor had already thought of the ethereal "constitution" in his heart. It was a sharp weapon that I heard about by chance from my father.

"Isn't it good to make a charter and the emperor will rule the world in the future?" Zhu Hegui asked his father.

Zhu Cihong looked at his eldest son, who also exuded an old atmosphere, and was a little tired in the warm sunshine, and asked with a strong spirit: "What do you want to exchange for?" ”

Zhu Hegui was not surprised at all by his father's quick thoughts.

"I want to use this guarantee in exchange for the imperial family's control over the royal assets." Zhu and Guidao.

In the hands of Zhu Cihong, the imperial family can naturally use its own equity to have a direct impact on the operation. However, as soon as Zhu Cihong let go, Zhu Hegui found that the management rights had actually fallen into the hands of his younger brothers, and he had no shares. However, if you want to affect the operation, you have to risk the fish dying and the net will be broken.

For half a century, the power of capital has prevailed.

"I've always said you're naïve, you're still not convinced?" Zhu Cihong almost muttered.

"Father, the only innocence I have has long been exhausted." Zhu Hegui almost burst out of decades of depression, and said loudly: "Why is it wrong for my father to see me doing everything!" I've worked so hard to do a good job! ”

Zhu Cihong sighed heavily and said, "If you come to ask for my opinion, I hope you don't change anything, just like you continue to use the Longjing era name." Until a strong emperor emerges among your descendants, who may be able to revive the imperial family. ”

"If ......"

"If you're going to have a showdown with your brothers over this. I'm afraid that your children and grandchildren will only be puppets with seals. Zhu Cihong said: "But no matter what, there will be no second Fengtian Jingjing, and you will not be pushed to the guillotine by your own people, and you can be content if there is another tragic incident of thieves and rebellion." Zhu Cihong closed his eyes and was powerless to say anything more.

For an old man who is about to reach the end of his life. It was tragic to see the sons kill each other.

When Zhu Hegui walked out of the palace of Emperor Taishang, he felt that all his strength had been drained. It is impossible for him to be swayed by others now, because he himself is a great Confucian in the world, and he is influencing the thoughts of others. He also had his own school, as well as many disciples. However, there are few of these people who can see current affairs clearly. And due to the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was the emperor, it was impossible to promote these disciples exceptionally.

- I'm going to take charge of something myself.

Zhu Hegui secretly made a decision in his heart.

……

In the sixty-eighth year of Longjing, a bad news was transmitted to Jingshi through a cable telegram.

Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong, because he has no son, can only face the situation of exterminating the country.

Three months later, Zhu Cihong met the white-haired Princess Lu of Ding.

"Although it is inevitable to set the kingdom, you can rest assured that the industry on the Korean side is still yours. You don't have to worry about your future life in Beijing. Zhu Cihong said.

Lu Qiaochu is not worried about his life in Beijing, not only the industry in North Korea, but the Lu family itself has become one of the top families in the Ming Dynasty. His father, Lu Xiangguan, finally paid homage to the Ministry of Rites, and went out for a walk as usual before Zhishi, and added the title of Dongge University Scholar.

His cousin, Lu An, a famous economist in the Longjing era, was at the helm of the Imperial Bank for thirty years, and he was already rich in salaries and bonuses alone.

"The minister only asks the Emperor Taishang to allow the minister to be buried in Babao Mountain." Lu Shi stubbornly raised his head: "With the officers and soldiers of the Second Army." ”

Zhu Cihong did not forget that she was a female general in the army, and nodded silently.

"Over the decades...... I've wronged you......" Zhu Cihong said.

"Then I got used to it." Lu Qiaochu thanked Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang and said goodbye.

The Duan clan didn't know Lu Qiaochu's past, and wondered: "How could the soldiers of the Second Army be buried in Babao Mountain?" ”

Babao Mountain is actually a mound in the Xishan Mountain Range, since Chengzu moved the capital, the eunuchs in the palace went there to retire after they were old, and finally buried there. In order to praise their loyal service, the royal family set up the Baozhong Huguo Temple in Babaoshan and let them rest in peace.

Zhu Cihong's army may be the most united army. Therefore, when Xiao Mo, Xiao Donglou and other famous generals were dying, they all expressed their reluctance to be buried in the family cemetery, but together with their subordinates, they still fought and guarded for the emperor in another world.

So Zhu Cihong chose Babaoshan, where all the senior generals drew the temple of meritorious heroes. Give the title of "Fengtian Zhengguo Push Sincere Xuanli Wuchen", and at the same time enshrine the god position into the Baozhong Huguo Temple, and bury Babao Mountain.

However, ordinary soldiers, I am afraid it is difficult to be buried in Babao Mountain.

"Maybe she's referring to the generals who fought side by side together." The name "Xu Cheng" came to Zhu Cihong's mind.

This name did not make an impression before Longjing 25 years ago, but during the 25 years of the Battle of Istanbul, it was this colonel battalion officer who led the army into the city of Istanbul with the chant "Wild death is not buried". With the ensuing sweep operations, Xu Cheng eventually became the general of the Ming Dynasty and died in the army at the age of sixty-seven. Enshrined in the temple of meritorious heroes, buried in Babao Mountain.

"I've been an emperor for almost 70 years, and I haven't built a mausoleum for myself." Zhu Cihong turned to the Duan clan and asked softly, "Where do you want to be buried?" I asked the Emperor to prepare. ”

"Just Tianshou Mountain, you can save money." Duan said lightly: "I hope to live until the day of completion." ”

"It's not as fast as it was back then." Zhu Cihong remembered that he built a mausoleum for his father Chongzhen, when there was no electric motor or internal combustion engine, and the efficiency of the steam engine was really not complimentary.

Although he has never worshiped his father, as a son, he still has to give his father a good word after all. In the end, Chongzhen entered the Fengtai Temple with the temple number of "Lizong", and the nickname was "Fengtian Zun Dao Inspirational Gong Jian Xiu Wen Bu Wu Ren Xiaojian Emperor".

It's easy to say simple. This is also Zhu Cihong's gratitude to Chongzhen for his unbelief and slander.

"What kind of nickname do they say they will give me when I die?" Zhu Cihong asked suddenly.

"What do you want me to say?" Duan squinted. Feint.

Although he is over 80 years old, there is still the spring color of his youth.

After three and a half centuries, the Ming Dynasty is still so vivid in this spring.

……

The three hundred and sixty-fourth years of the Ming Dynasty, the four hundred and seventy-one years of the Taoist calendar, and the twenty-fourth year of the Ye calendar.

Zhu Zhancheng slowly stepped off the plane and took a deep breath of the fresh air. When the plane has just entered the airspace of the Ming Dynasty. He looked through the porthole into the green forest below. Compared to the barren and dirty Europe, these trees are more pleasant.

"Your Highness, the six-hour flight is really hard." The palace housekeeper who came to pick up the airport greeted him.

Zhu Zhancheng smiled and said, "I just slept well." ”

The butler followed behind Zhu Zhancheng and said, "Your Highness." While you were in Persia, King Cheng sent a newly produced hovercar. ”

"Thank you." Zhu Zhancheng said simply and clearly: "Did he put forward any conditions?" ”

"He wants the manuscript that Emperor De gave to the Song family." Butler Road.

After Zhu Cihong's great trip, he was called "Emperor of Titianchang Dao, Zhuang Yi, Wen Hongxing, Wenxuan, Wuren, Zhicheng, and Filial Piety", and the temple was called Taoism.

According to the explanation in the "Family", this is a quotation from the "Law of the Confession": Suirou Shimin said virtue; Conspiracy is not depreciative; Expensive and good gifts; Loyalty and purity; Suihuai comes to the people of virtue; Straight, gentle, and virtuous; Diligent and compassionate to the people; Loyalty, truth, morality; Auxiliary world Changmin said virtue; Lenient public sorrow and servitude; Gangsai Jian Lian said De; Successful civil virtue; Xiuwen comes from far away to say virtue; Wisdom is new and virtuous; Good governance and morality; Ze and Yao Wai said De.

As for the temple number, it is also because "Tao" means to transform the people with virtue.

Since the emperor had a nickname, I am afraid that no one has received more praise than Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Zhancheng came from the line of King Mi, the third son of Emperor Longjing, and he no longer has any feelings with the current imperial family. However, as an authority on the study of Emperor Longjing, he has a lot of collections in his hands that make the clans blush.

The manuscript given to the Song family refers to the original manuscript written by Zhu Cihong to Song Hongye on intelligence work. This original manuscript has been carefully collected by Song Hongye, and later because his wife Wang Huazhen's cousin and nephew entered Jinyiwei, it was passed on to the Wang family as a gift and became the heirloom of the Wang family.

"If he wants to come back, give him the car back." Zhu Zhancheng denied the news without thinking about it, but he quickly paused and said, "But...... I can transfer the two characters of the Daomiao Master's Royal Pen, provided that they are willing to let Qi Zhao enter the family tree. ”

The butler hung his head, indicating that this should not have been his beak.

Zhu Zhancheng knew that this was really appalling and might attract opposition from the people of the whole country, so he sighed and quickened his pace and went to the car.

In the three hundred and sixty-fourth years of Longjing, the people of the Ming Dynasty still could not accept the child born to a barbarian woman to become the Ming royal family, even if the barbarian woman herself was the queen of the allies.

Zhu Zhancheng sat in the car, looked at the scorching sun that had just risen in the sky, and secretly said in his heart: Maybe Qi Zhao can only go to England to be the king.

To be a king in that country with dust and haze, and not even to be a happy person in Daming!

Looking down from space, as long as the place except Daming enters the night, it is pitch black, and they are not even willing to use the black smoke kerosene lamp!

In particular, Britain has to fight a war with France every ten years, and this is the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhancheng felt indescribably sour in his heart, and Emperor Longjing's bloodline could make him accept his fate.

Perhaps, the six-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Daming is about to usher in a new story, and Zhu Zhancheng only hopes that he can complete that little dream in this new story.

(End of book) (To be continued......)
