The Honglu Temple of the Ming Empire, adjacent to the six parts of the capital, are all in the right area of the imperial road from Chengtianmen to Damingmen.

On that day, Zheng Haizhu took Lu Xiang to Honglu Temple.

From top to bottom in the yamen, it seems that this woman who helped Wan Sui Ye hoe and rape and killed Li Kezhuo of Liupin Temple last year seems to be afraid of respect, as if she will find something wrong again.

Zheng Haizhu saw the hall official who came out to contact, and the cloud goose was embroidered on the patch on his chest, which was the symbol of the four grades of civil officials, and he knew that this person was the new temple secretary that Cao Huachun had said, the leader of Honglu Temple, and his surname was Zheng.

Zheng Siqing was full of a warm smile on his face, not only deigned to Zheng Haizhu to make a serious arch, but also did not stick to the difference in rank, and said with a bit of almost meaning: "Oh, I am my family with my wife, fortunately, fortunately." ”

Before Zheng Haizhu came, she heard Cao Huachun tell her that Zheng Sicheng, a person from the capital, and the son of a civil official of the Wanli Dynasty, was a prisoner of the country's eunuch, but he had never even been lifted.

Hanlin Yuan or the six yamen, the first and second leaders must be from Jinshi.

Honglu Temple, there is no such rule, especially in the current late Ming Dynasty, it is more like the place to place those who can't pass the second generation of officials and the third generation of officials who can't take the spring exam for the children of poor families, so this Zheng Siqing in front of him, without the fame of Jinshi or Renren, still sits in the hall of Honglu Temple.

Zheng Haizhu said with a respectful look: "I have seen Zheng Gong, the younger generation has received the edict of the saint, and the tent car dedicated by Lin Dan Khan will be taken a look again, and the saint may want to reward the capital clan who believes in the Yellow Sect." ”

"Hey, don't be in a hurry, the official ordered someone to cook good tea, Mrs. and Lu Gongzi moved to the hall to taste tea first, and the old man also happened to ask Mrs. for advice on the customs and customs of the captivity, so as not to make jokes when receiving Mongolian envoys in the future."

Zheng Haizhu nodded yes, but there was a slight doubt in his heart.

Not to mention that the other party is a high-level civil servant, a little too attentive, even if it is just out of the public intention of the new official to take office and be familiar with the business, he can go and ask the subordinates in Honglu Temple, what is Zheng Haizhu talking about?

When he arrived at Siqing's duty room and sat down, Zheng Siqing asked Mongolia and Liaodong again, and he couldn't close the conversation box when he opened it.

After talking for almost half an hour, Zheng Haizhu finally interrupted: "Lao Bo Si Qing led us to see the account car." ”

Zheng Siqing glanced at the copper leak in the corner of the house, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's not good to delay you to run an errand for the saint." When Mrs. Zheng ordered the Jinyi guard to escort the Mongols to the national gift that day, the department had already counted and put it into the warehouse, and the tent was too big, so it was placed in the courtyard. ”

After finally getting rid of the chatter of the four products, Zheng Haizhu and Lu Xiangsheng came to the tent and walked around this behemoth from Chahar to study carefully.

The large tent with the shape of the heavenly noble, the weight is considerable, to bear the weight safely, but also to reduce the difficulty of animal pulling as much as possible, the design, material selection and construction skills of the frame, are all tests.

When Zheng Haizhu saw the Mongols' tent cart, what he felt was not the majesty of the honor guard, but that it could also be used to pull a cannon three meters long and about two tons.

But things at the level of technology landing should no longer occupy her thinking time, and it is far from what she is good at, just like handing over the invention of the mine pumping steam engine to Song Yingxing, the improvement of the way of carrying firearms, so that Lu Xiangsheng, a "male god brother" who has both arts and sciences, can engage in research and development with Zhu Youxiao, a little genius in engineering.

In front of the tent, Lu Xiangsheng memorized and drew more than ten pages, feeling that the material was enough.

Zheng Haizhu turned around from the other end of the tent car, she had no hairpin in her hair, no accessories around her, and no sound when she moved.

"Do you have any official business at your feet?" Zheng Haizhu asked lightly.

The scribe was also embarrassed and frightened, busy and deeply, but he also honestly reported: "Small faux pas, faux pas, don't blame Madame." It's just that tomorrow is a rest, and according to the usual practice, all the officials and subordinates of the yamen will return home half an hour early today. ”

Zheng Haizhu said in his heart, then why, Zheng Sicheng was still delayed for half an hour.

She hurriedly changed her tone of kindness and said to the scribe, "We have also seen it, so let's take care of ourselves." ”

Zheng Haizhu and Lu Xiangsheng just walked out of Honglu Temple, only to see that the quiet and solemn road when they came, bustling with low-level civil officials from various ministries wearing green robes and blue robes, and occasionally red-robed officials who did not sit in a sedan chair and walked leisurely in order to show simplicity.

"Xiangsheng, let's go back to Honglu Temple first, and then come out when there are fewer people on the road." Zheng Haizhu said softly.

Lu Xiangsheng was clear, Zheng Haizhu didn't like to be too dazzling.

Unexpectedly, behind the two of them, there was a squeak, but the door of Honglu Temple was closed.

Obviously, when I passed a few public offices, there were still officials cleaning up inside.

Zheng Haizhu frowned: "Let's go north and go around to the Imperial Medicine Storehouse." It's cleaner there. ”

I didn't have time to move, only to hear the angry shout of "Zheng's", and a young man rushed over at the door of the official department in front of the right.

The man was twenty years old, with a neat net crown and a white face, obviously a scholar who was not engaged in production, and he was not wearing an official robe, but he was not wearing the uniform of a clerk.

Zheng Haizhu saw this completely unfamiliar face, with a menacing attitude, and a polite face that was not kind to him, stared at him and asked, "Do we know each other?" ”

The young man snorted heavily.

In order to attract more spectators, his voice was exaggerated and contrived, not like sneering, but like sticking an onion in his nose and sneezing.

Then, the man looked around, opened his voice more and more, and said loudly: "Zheng, if I don't know you, can't I scold you?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng came back to his senses from the initial brief confusion and said without hiding his sorrow: "Who are you?" This is the solemn place of the country, noisy and noisy, what kind of system! ”

The man ignored Lu Xiangsheng, and rushed over to see the lively group of red and green officials arched uprightly: "In Xia Fan Hong, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, he has not been a scholar, and now he is in the ministry to watch the government. ”

It turned out to be a jinshi in the latest imperial examination, but he had not yet been awarded an official, and he was an "intern" in the Ministry of Officials, just like Yuan Chonghuan had previously observed politics in the Ministry of Industry.

Hearing that this person was the same as Lu Xiangsheng, with an obvious Su Xichang accent in the official language, Zheng Haizhu's suspicions about some small and strange places today were removed.

She guessed that there would be a shower that would rain on her.

Sure enough, Fan Hong pointed to Zheng Haizhu and said: "You are a businesswoman in the market, you don't understand literature and science, you don't know how to learn, you rely on the luck of three points of steamed bun dogs from the sky, and you use seven points of business to make a fortune in the camp, and you have made personal friends with the border generals of the sea and the sea, and you have earned a few military exploits that you have to take advantage of. ”

When he said this, his eyes moved away from Zheng Haizhu's face and turned to the civil officials at all levels around him whose duck necks were longer than goose necks, and the corners of his eyebrows and mouths were full of pain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is even more shameless about this woman is that she actually made a statement to the Son of Heaven that she wants to trade with the Japanese kingdom!"

(Updated late at night, there was a mistake, not Sicheng, it's Siqing.) Sicheng six products, Siqing four products, the latter is the number one. Modified, but the real-time pirated versions out there are estimated to be wrong)
