Forbidden City, Wenyuan Pavilion.

Cao Nai returned to the public house with a few copies of the recital, sighing again and again.

Zhang Yi asked, "Why is Cao Gong sighing?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yu is not here today, what's the matter......"

For several days in a row, there was no one in the Wenhua Palace, and the cabinet had already piled up a mountain of red criticisms, and I didn't know what to do.

At the beginning, Zhu Qiyu finished the morning court, and then ran away.

It's good now, the early dynasty is gone, and it disappeared directly.

Zhang Yi was also very helpless, and said: "Then go directly to see the emperor!" ”

Cao Nai took a sip of tea and said, "Fang Cai, I've already been there, but the emperor has been tinkering with that competitive machine in Ciqing Palace, and he doesn't look at it at all, just saying that the cabinet can make a decision, how can national affairs be such a child's play?" That's a ...... What a ......."

How can there be four words, I couldn't bear to say it.

This kind of thing, if it is placed on a person with ulterior motives, will definitely be a joy in the heart.

The emperor doesn't care about things, so it's not up to me to decide?

However, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi are not that kind of people, although they are a little old-fashioned on weekdays, their loyalty to the monarch is doubtful.

Of course, if these two people dare to think crookedly, it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to hand over national affairs to them.

The problem now is that after the two of them discussed the big and small matters, they were decided.

But now it's different, the new deal has been fully rolled out, and a lot of notes have been submitted, and the two found out...... I don't understand!

All over the country, Shinong industry and commerce are in full bloom, and many novel gadgets have appeared.

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, as cabinet ministers, were still actively checking information and asking people to ask at the beginning, at least they could cope with it, but the more they got to it, the more difficult they felt.

At this time, the two began to miss Yu Qian.

At the beginning, Yu Qian was the first to accept the new policy, and the two of them scoffed at it, but now they find that they are right.

"If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have let Tingyi go to the imperial examination team......

The two of them sat here staring at each other, and after a long time, Zhang Yi said: "It's not a way to go on like this, it's better to ...... Let's go and meet the emperor! ”

Cao Nai nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

The courtyard of Ciqing Palace has been transformed into a steam engine experimental site.

At first, Zhu Qizhen chose the venue in the Imperial Garden, but later found that it was not suitable, because there were too many harem female rolls, and it was inconvenient for craftsmen to come and go.

Thinking about it, the location of Ciqing Palace is not bad.

Ciqing Palace is the East Palace, located in the southeast of the Forbidden City, with a separate courtyard and a quiet place.

It's just that I pity Zhu Jianshen, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't have his own palace......

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhu Qizhen turned around, he saw that it was the two of them, and said, "Two Aiqing, why are you interested in visiting the steam engine today?" ”

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and then said: "Your Majesty, state affairs are important, this, this...... Fight, fight......"

"It's a steam engine!"

"Yes, this competitive machine, handed over to the craftsmen, now that the new deal has begun, there are continuous performances in various places, and the old minister is quite powerless, and he also asks the emperor to preside over the overall situation!"

Zhu Qizhen said casually: "Isn't there a king servant?" ”

Cao Nai had to say truthfully: "King Yu...... I haven't been on the ...... for several days."

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows: "That's right, King Yu has already set off, how can I forget about this!" ”

Cao Nai didn't understand and asked, "Let's go...... Where to go? ”

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, took the wrench and said, "You go to Fengtian Hall to wait first, and I will come over after I finish this experiment!" ”

Cao Nai's heart was overjoyed, the emperor was finally going to do business!

"The old minister obeys!"

"By the way, call the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, Yu Qian is not here, who is presiding over the work?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Liu Jue, the left waiter!"

"Call him too...... So who, Belin, get started, pay attention to the data! ”

Cao Nai was a little puzzled, we are persuading you to go to the palace to do business, what are you doing when you call the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War?

The two saw that there was a booming sound of steam in front of them, so they had to get up and retreat.

Soon, Kuang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Jue, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, came to the palace with an edict, and the four of them waited left and right, and heard a muffled sound outside.

Zhang Yi cautiously asked, "Gong Cao, listen, is it the direction of the East Palace?" ”

Cao Nai's age was older, and his reaction was relatively slow, and he tried to identify it for a long time before he said, "It seems to be ...... Not good, the emperor is in danger! ”

Kuang Yu was puzzled: "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Cao Nai slapped his thigh angrily: "The emperor is messing with that angry machine!" ”

"What kind of fighting machine? Cao Gong, you're talking more and more esoteric now......"

"Esoteric fart, go and see the emperor!"

Several people were walking out in a panic, and they saw Zhu Qizhen walking in with a disgraced face.

Belin, who was still followed by Qin Tianjian behind her, was even more embarrassed, her hair was burned, and her clothes were also burned with several large holes.

"Don't be angry, the emperor should not be angry, this failure is mainly because the toughness of the steel is not enough, at least, the problem of airtightness is solved, which is also a big progress."

"What I'm angry about is not the failure of the experiment, but you people, how important the first-hand experimental data is, if something happens, you hurry up to record it, so that you can know how to improve it next, everyone pounces on me, do you want to crush me?"

"The minister is worried about the emperor's dragon body......"

"What kind of body is the dragon, the dragon body, I am very good, you don't need to worry, next time remember, if something goes wrong, collect data as soon as possible, you know, the first-hand information in the experimental stage is very important!"

"The minister has written it down!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his head, saw the four stunned ministers, and said, "All the ministers are here, okay, let's get down to business!" ”

The four of you, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little unclear.

Cao Nai and Zhang Yi persuaded the emperor to do less strange things and do more serious things, but I don't know why the emperor called the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

As for Kuang Yu and Liu Jue, they were suddenly ordered to go to the palace, and they didn't know what was going on.

At this time, another person went up to the hall, and Cao Nai looked back to see that it was Tang Xinggu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

At the beginning, everyone was very disgusted with him, thinking that in order to get on the throne, he would do whatever it took to get to the top, like a mad dog, who was caught and sprayed, maybe he would be bitten one day.

Later, I slowly found out that in fact, this guy just found the right direction, that is, the lackey of the emperor's door.

As long as you go against the emperor, he will bite you.

On the contrary, as long as you comply with the emperor's wishes, he will never touch you in the slightest.

After a long time, everyone will slowly get used to it.

It's just that I don't know what the emperor's intention is in summoning this person......

"Long live the minister, Tang Xinggu, knock to see my emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, everyone come forward!" ”

Led by Cao Nai, the five people stepped forward, and in front of them was a map.
