Chapter 51: Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses
"The royal sister is naturally beautiful, who dares to dislike the imperial sister, I am the first to refuse."
Hearing Zhengde say this, Zhu Xiuli, who was less than twelve years old, was immediately amused and giggled.
Zhu Houxi smiled: "Big brother, you beware of spoiling the little girl." ”
Zhengde didn't pay attention to Zhu Houyu at all, but continued to greet Zhu Xiuli, making Zhu Houxi feel like an abandoned child, but fortunately, Zhu Houxi is now fifteen years old and is not a child.
"I want you to go to the Punishment Department."
Zhengde is back now, Zhu Houyu can't continue to be a prisoner, of course Zhengde has to find something to do for Zhu Houxi, and Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has been in the position of the Criminal Department for a long time, and Zhengde wants Zhu Houyu to take over Zhang Zilin's position.
"That Zhang Zilin?"
"Zhang Zilin entered the cabinet, and I allowed Prince Liang to return to his hometown."
Zhu Houyu heard that Zhengde wanted Prince Liang to return to his hometown, and immediately agreed: "Everything is arranged by the eldest brother." ”
The next day, Zhengde announced his will in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and Zhu Houxi, the king of Xing, took over the position of the secretary of the criminal department, Zhang Zilin entered the cabinet, and the prince Liang of the Huadian University returned to his hometown.
Liang Chu burst into tears on the spot, and bluntly thanked His Majesty for his compassion.
"When is Lord Wang going to return to his hometown?"
As soon as the court meeting ended, Zhu Houxi walked up to Wang Shourensheng and asked.
Seeing that it was Zhu Houxi, the king of the military department, Wang Shouren immediately bowed down and saluted: "Bo'an has high hopes for His Highness. ”
I haven't seen him for a few months, Wang Shouren's complexion is not good, on the one hand, he offended the Zhu family, and on the other hand, the cabinet headed by the civilian official group did not accept him as agreed, and made him look in the mirror and look at him as a person.
"Hmph, then please Lord Wang do it yourself."
After that, Zhu Houxi brushed his sleeves away, not caring about Wang Shouren, who was stunned in place, what he thought.
Zhu Houxi did not return to Xingwangfu, but went to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, first familiarized himself with the daily operation of the Criminal Department, and then arranged for people to take out all the cases that had been shelved in the past.
Looking at the thick file on the table in front of him, Zhu Houxi suddenly felt a big feeling, he could indeed understand that there were some unfinished cases in the Criminal Department, but he never expected that there would be so many.
"These are unfinished files?"
"Back to Your Highness, all the files that have not been processed are here."
Yang Dazhang, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, didn't seem to understand what Zhu Houxi meant, and thought that Zhu Houxi was asking if there were any other files.
Zhu Houxi sighed, and then began to deal with the case in front of him.
After an afternoon, there was not much left of the case being handled by Zhu Houxi, and the officials of the Criminal Department shouted, but they did not expect that the case that the Criminal Department had been squeezing for many years would be handled so quickly in the hands of His Royal Highness King Xing.
Zhu Houxi's way of handling cases is also very simple, because many cases have similar situations in later film and television dramas and novels.
"Your Highness, why do you conclude that Zhao San was wronged?"
Yang Dazhang looked at Zhu Houxi and asked puzzledly, the case just now was that Zhao San killed Widow Li next door.
Zhu Houxi said angrily: "According to the confession, Zhao San slept at Widow Li's house when the official arrived, which murderer have you ever seen, and after killing again, he swaggered and slept in the victim's house?" ”
"But even so, it can't prove that the person was not killed by Zhao San."
Zhu Houxi slapped his forehead and said: "The official didn't wake up Zhao San when he arrived, obviously Zhao San was drugged, who would drug himself after killing someone?" ”
"The murderer, why did His Highness say that it was Liu Laoshi?"
"Because Liu Laoshi likes Zhao San's mother-in-law."
Yang Dazhang finally understood why his mother-in-law hadn't come to the Criminal Department once after Zhao San was imprisoned.
After Zhu Houxi gave Yang Dazhang an answer, he immediately began to pack up and prepare to go home, he didn't want to stay in the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department for a moment, it was simply torture, not only to face various cases, but also to serve as a lecturer for low-level officials, it was simply not a job for people to do.
Zhu Houxi, who left the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, returned all the way back to Xingwangfu, and as soon as he entered the gate of Xingwangfu, he saw several people among the sixteen sons of Tianya.
"Your Highness."
"Hmm."
Zhu Houxi agreed and walked towards the carrying hall, and several people followed Zhu Houyu into the carrying hall together.
"How did Your Majesty arrange for you to wait?"
The God of Wealth said: "Your Majesty asked me to go to the household department." ”
The dog king said: "Your Majesty asked me to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army." ”
……
Hearing Zhengde's arrangement for several people, Zhu Houxi did not show a dissatisfied look.
"It is your blessing to be valued by His Majesty, and when you get to the place, sit down your own business, if someone bullies you, remember that behind you is the Xingwang Mansion."
Zhu Houyu didn't want to warn a few people when he said this, but sincerely wanted to let a few people understand that the love between the master and the servant has not been broken, and if something happens, he Zhu Houyu will never stand idly by.
The God of Wealth smiled: "Your Highness Xie." ”
"Alright, you can go back after dinner with the king."
In July of the seventeenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houxi concurrently served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhu Houxi, who had just arrived, was disliked by the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and knowing that Zhu Houxi showed his hole cards, all the officials of the entire Ministry of Industry began to revolve around Zhu Houxi.
Inside the leopard room.
Zhengde asked Wei Bin on the side, "How is the progress of the wooden ox flowing horse?" ”
Wei Bin lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasantly: "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Xing's wooden ox and flowing horse are quite magical, as long as one person can pull more than a dozen people." ”
"Is that true?"
"How dare the slaves and maids deceive the emperor, now those officials of the Ministry of Industry are offering His Royal Highness as an ancestor, for fear that His Royal Highness will no longer teach them their skills."
When Zhengde learned that Zhu Houxi was living like this, he burst out laughing.
Donggongsheng Gate External Engineering Department.
Zhu Houxi was lying on the wooden recliner drinking tea, looking at the file in his hand, and the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was in charge of serving next to him, said with a smile: "Your Highness, the wooden ox and flowing horse are now in mass production, I don't know when the one-man horse that His Highness said will teach us." ”
Zhu Houxi didn't even raise his eyelids, and said casually: "You ask this king everything, what is the Ministry of Industry doing to raise you waste, don't you think about it?" The Wooden Ox Flowing Horse is a three-wheeled horse, and if you turn it into two wheels, it will not be a one-man horse. ”
Yes, the wooden ox flowing horse developed by Zhu Houxi is the tricycle of later generations, and the single horse in the mouth of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry is a bicycle.
When I first got this treasure, the Ministry of Industry was shocked, after all, the horses are very valuable now, but they are cheap compared to manpower, and the wooden ox flowing horse greatly solves the problem of the lack of horses, and provides great help to the transportation, and now the price of a wooden ox flowing horse has been fried to twenty taels of silver, so there is still a price without a market, because the current wooden ox flowing horse is only for the use of the imperial court.
Seeing that the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry was puzzled, Zhu Houyu picked up the pen and paper and began to paint, and after a while, the appearance of a bicycle was drawn, and Zuo Shilang took Zhu Houxi's hand-painted bicycle pattern and ran quickly to the outside of the hall.
