Chapter 282: On Meritorious Deeds

The emperor got down from the dragon chair with great interest and sat on the bicycle according to Zhang Xiaochi's method.

"Your Majesty, since you are riding a bicycle for the first time, Weichen needs to be supported in the back."

Zhang Xiaochi reminded.

"Hmm."

The emperor was a little impatient, so he answered casually, and stepped on the pedal with both feet.

"Your Majesty, use your right foot first, and then use your left foot after half a circle."

Zhang Xiaochi commanded while holding the bicycle steadily in the back.

At the beginning, even if Zhang Xiaochi was holding the bicycle in the back, the emperor was still a little unable to grasp it, and the steering wheel swayed from side to side, but after Zhang Xiaochi's careful teaching, after about five or six minutes, with the help of Zhang Xiaochi, the emperor was finally able to ride the bicycle steadily.

"Zhang Aiqing, you can let go."

After about five or six minutes, the emperor turned his head and instructed Zhang Xiaochi behind him.

"Your Majesty, your study time is too short, in case you ......"

"Just let go."

The emperor commanded in a commanding tone.

Zhang Xiaochi had no choice but to let go of his hands, but as soon as he let go of his hands, the emperor fell directly to the side because there was no strength in the rear to control the stability.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Zhang Xiaochi was quick with his hand, stretched out one hand to hold the bicycle, and the other hand held the emperor.

"Bold Zhang Xiaochi, are you trying to murder the emperor?"

Seeing this scene, Gao Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Xiaochi and scolded loudly.

"Yes, you are clearly plotting to kill the emperor on the grounds of giving away the so-called bicycle!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, you must not let go of this unfortunate villain!"

……

For a while, the officials in the court and Gao Yu's group reprimanded Zhang Xiaochi one after another.

"Shut up!"

"Are you blind?"

"It's just that I was not familiar with the bicycle and almost fell, and Zhang Aiqing reacted in time to avoid my injury, he has merit!"

A touch of unwillingness flashed in the depths of Gao Yu's eyes, but the emperor said so, even if he wanted to continue to wear a hat for Zhang Xiaochi, who was stealing the limelight, it would not work.

"The sin of the minister deserves death!"

"Because the minister was worried about the emperor's safety, he actually blamed Lord Zhang for a while!"

Gao Yu is worthy of being an old fox, and he knows that retreat is advance, so the emperor will not blame him, but will praise him on the contrary.

Sure enough, because of Gao Yu's words, the emperor immediately praised Gao Yu.

Gao Yu was overjoyed, but this good mood soon disappeared, because the emperor began to try cycling again.

This lasted for about ten minutes, and the emperor finally learned to ride his bicycle alone in circles around the court.

Above, the Queen Mother looked at the emperor on a bicycle, and she was already itching, so she also asked Zhang Xiaochi to assist.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, Zhang Xiaochi suddenly became the object of envy of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and everyone knew in their hearts that although Gao Yu's gift was precious, compared with the bicycle, it seemed ashamed.

The ministers' eyes when they looked at Zhang Xiaochi were full of envy and jealousy, including Gao Yu, everyone was eager to replace Zhang Xiaochi to obtain this honor.

Zhang Xiaochi asked Zhao Qiankun to follow the emperor, and he personally assisted the queen mother.

In the court, in fact, it was not all envious and jealous eyes, such as Su Wuzhi and Lu Xiaofeng, as soon as they thought that they could also own a bicycle in the future, they were eager to try, and they wished that time would pass faster.

"Brother Zhang has deceived us so badly!"

Chen Huizu said in a low voice.

"Don't complain, you kid, didn't Brother Zhang say it? We'll have that in the future. ”

Su ignored the side and replied in a low voice, while also glaring at Chen Huizu, and whispered a reminder not to talk nonsense, so as not to be heard by someone with a heart.

Chen Huizu also knew that most of the people in the court were high-ranking people, so he didn't continue to speak.

After half an hour, Zhang Xiaochi finally taught the Queen Mother that she could ride a bicycle alone without assistance at this time, but the speed was a little slower.

As for the emperor, he has made rapid progress and has been able to master the skills of getting on and off the bicycle.

"Good, good!"

Putting down the bicycle, the emperor and the queen mother returned to their seats, and as soon as they sat down, they watched Zhang Xiaochi say three good words in a row.

"Zhang Aiqing, Zhao Aiqing, the gift you prepared is deeply liked by me and the Queen Mother, it is not just a bicycle, I think it has epoch-making significance."

"I want to ask, can you mass-produce the bike?"

The emperor looked at Zhang Xiaochi and asked sincerely.

"Your Majesty, the bicycle is energy-producing, but it is not possible at the moment."

"How long does it take to go into mass production?"

The bicycle can actually be mass-produced, but the speed will definitely be very slow, according to Zhang Xiaochi's idea, is to find a product to replace rubber, so that the comfort of the bicycle will be improved a lot.

This is a technical problem, but he can't say it, as soon as he says it, he will be questioned by many people, saying that he took a technically immature thing to the emperor to try to misbehave, and in this way, the credit is likely to become a crime.

"Your Majesty, if you want to manufacture bicycles in large quantities, you not only need good forging conditions, but also many forging masters."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about these, I will order someone to find the forging master, as for the forging conditions, Zhang Aiqing can go to the scene for guidance."

"We're in command."

Zhang Xiaochi replied respectfully.

In fact, he was a little reluctant, but the holy order could not be violated.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaochi agreed, the emperor showed a pleased smile on his face, and then, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he praised Zhang Xiaochi's contribution to designing the bow and crossbow and the giant bow and crossbow.

"Zhang Aiqing, you have made great contributions to the Great Yue Kingdom, and today you have presented such a good gift."

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"It is the duty of Weichen to add joy to the emperor and the queen mother, Weichen is the people of Dayue country, and it is natural for Weichen to contribute to Dayue country."

"Wechen doesn't dare to ask for rewards!"

"Zhang Aiqing, it's a good thing to reward meritorious deeds, don't shirk."

The emperor deliberately replied with a straight face.

Zhang Xiaochi hesitated slightly, and then said seriously.

"Your Majesty, that Weichen has something to ask for!"

"Say."

"Wechen ......"

Zhang Xiaochi looked back at Lin Xiaoxi, only to see that she was encouraging herself with her eyes, and then at Lin Caier, who was nervous and shy, and finally said slowly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen once fell in love with Miss Lin Caier at first sight in Kyoto Mansion, and wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to complete the marriage of Weichen and Miss Lin."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Caier's pretty face instantly turned crimson, while Gao Yu's father and son and Mrs. Lin's father and son changed their faces greatly.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Mrs. Lin looked nervous, and quickly knelt on the ground to speak.

"Mrs. Lin, Lin Cai'er is your daughter?"
