Early in the morning, Lu Qi was awakened by a knock on the door from downstairs.

"Open the door, open the door, Xiao Er, open the door!"

Xiao Er hurriedly ran out of the room, and shouted while dressing: "Come on, come on, come to the hotel so early?" The gates of the Forty-Nine Cities haven't been opened yet! ”

As soon as he opened the door, he saw four or five Han generals carrying knives, covering the door of the Fengqi Inn tightly, scaring the words in Xiao Er's mouth back.

Several people flashed to both sides, revealing the person in the middle, an old eunuch with gray sideburns and wearing a bullfighting suit, raised his eyes and looked at the little second brother, and asked, "Which room does the prince's attendant Lu Yun and Lu Lang live in?" ”

"Lu Shi reads in Tianzi No. 2!"

Father-in-law Miao took people upstairs.

Hearing the movement downstairs, Lu Qi jumped up from the couch and was in a hurry to get dressed and comb his hair, when there was a sound of "tapping and tapping" footsteps outside the door.

"Da Da Da"

Gonggong Miao knocked on the door: "Dare to ask Lu Shi to read it?" ”

"Hey! The next official is up. Lu Qi didn't pay attention, and accidentally bumped into the table: "Ouch! ”

After the door was cleaned up, Father-in-law Miao took out a scroll of yellow silk from his arms: "The prince reads Lu Yun to receive the order!" ”

Lu Qi bowed down and bowed: "Minister Lu Yun takes the order!" ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said: The holy monarch and the virtuous lord from ancient times, do not go to the virtuous ministers and good ministers, Zhou has Lu and Yong, and Han has Xiao and Cao.

The prince, the foundation of the country, is to be a pro-virtuous and far-reaching, to travel to Liangde, now the prince reads Lu Yun, is loyal and pure, teaches the prince and gets his way, and is a virtuous and virtuous scholar. Instead, give Lu Yun a mansion in the capital, and reward a thousand taels of silver, Qin this! ”

Lu Qi bowed and said: "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live, long live!" ”

Standing up with the holy decree, Lu Qi arched his hand: "You are the Miao Gonggong I saw at Your Majesty last time?" ”

"It's our house." Gonggong Miao waved his hand to the Han general behind him, and there was a burden, and two trays of silver were presented to Lu Qi.

"This time, I would like to congratulate Lu Shiyu, who won the favor of the prince so quickly, long live the prince who listened to the prince's performance last night, and ordered our family to come to reward you early this morning!"

Father-in-law Miao smiled kindly and humbly, his eyes flashed, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Qi and Chen Yin'er packed their luggage and hired a carriage to move into the new house.

This house is smaller than the house in Yuxian, with a gardenia tree as high as the eaves standing in front of the door, and half of the alley is filled with its fragrance.

There is a well in the courtyard, and two rows of peonies are planted under the window, and the white flowers are blooming like crystal sacs, which makes people love.

"This is our house from now on?" Chen Yin'er put down her burden, took a deep breath, touched the mottled wooden door, and sat down on the well railing.

"Yes......" Lu Qi opened the door, although there was some dust in the house, it was not dilapidated, and it seemed that someone would occasionally come to maintain it.

There happened to be a small shrine, and Chen Yin'er hung the deer lamp in it. Recently, she has been busy learning a fashionable whitening method, which is said to be very effective, anyway, staying at home all day, it is considered a little busy, so that she will not be idle.

Lu Qi drew water to water the flowers, and said quickly: "With this house, I finally don't have to worry about living in the inn, and I don't have to be afraid of talking in my dreams to make people hear the clues." ”

"Alas, in the past few days, I have almost regarded you as your brother." Chen Yin'er sighed: "Eh, Qi'er, how early is it now?" Are you late? ”

Lu Qi patted his head: "Ouch, forget this stubble!" ”

……

Hurry up and hurry, and then step on the point to the East Palace.

Fortunately, before the scholar came, Lu Qi asked Zhu Houzhao about the reward this morning.

"That's it, my father felt a lot of emotion after hearing it, and after thinking about it, he decided to detain your game and only play it in the palace, so as not to spread the people." Zhu Houzhao was half-lying in the bamboo drunkard, and stuffed a salted green plum into his mouth.

Lu Qi sighed.

Using a game to make the prince have a deep thinking about the common people of Sheji, it really made Emperor Hongzhi feel very relieved, but the game itself made him instinctively vigilant.

It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, and the background of the rich man was the capitalist background of money and gods, which must be difficult for the feudal rulers to accept.

"Let's not talk about this, let's make a new gadget today!" Zhu Houzhao sat up and looked at Lu Qi with his eyes like torches.

Lu Qi turned his pen: "Well, that Weichen will tell the story of a group of idiots, this is what an old captain with a straw hat and walking staggering told me......"

The sun was in the west, and the hall sent ice for cooling, as well as chilled bayberry thirst water, which Zhu Houzhao specially instructed to make in the small kitchen.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart." Lu Qi scooped up a spoon and put it in his mouth, which was cold and comfortable.

Zhu Houzhao still tilted his head, immersed in the world described by Lu Qi just now, and said for a long time:

"They flew up to the clouds on the rising current, saw the island-eating whale, and nearly swallowed it. At such great risk, what do they really want at sea? ”

"It's about freedom." Lu Qi smiled and shook his head: "But, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?" Those foreigners who train the navy can all cross the ocean to us! ”

"Lu Shi read a joke." Liu Jin interjected with a smile: "What are those small boats of foreign foreigners?" How can it compare to our Ming Dynasty's giant ship? ”

Lu Qi looked at Liu Jin: "Yes, our Ming treasure fleet was really invincible in the world at that time!" The Three Treasures went to the West seven times to promote the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, how desirable...... And now you are safe? ”

Liu Jin was dumbfounded.

Since the Western Ocean was beaten for the people and money, the treasure ship has also been abandoned, and I don't know where to throw it into decay. At that time, the magistrate of Yuxian County was able to secretly deduct a cannon from above, which shows that no one cares about it for a long time.

Even the drawings of Baozong's desire to find the treasure ship were blocked by Liu Daxia, and he bluntly said that he had already destroyed them.

Of course, it is doubtful whether this is indeed the case, after all, destroying the court archives is a serious crime, and the prince can find it again afterwards.

But in Lu Qi's view, this Liu Daxia is really a stumbling block that hinders her from realizing the creation of the Ming Dynasty navigation era.

But outside, the eyes of the eunuchs were a little unkind.

'This Lu waiter, only a few days have you been here? took the prince's heart away! In some time, will our family still have a place in the prince's place? Liu Jin couldn't help but be a little jealous.

Look at the big sun outside, the weather is as hot as a day, Liu Jin rolled his eyes, stepped forward and shook his fan:

"Prince, it's hot in the beast tent, and the little things are all scared, why don't you put them in this hall to cool down?"

Zhu Houzhao remembered that he hadn't seen his pets for a few days, so he waved his hand: "Accurate!" ”

I saw that under Liu Jin's command, more than a dozen eunuchs worked together to carry in many gold wire cages, and there were all kinds of living creatures in them.

The big one has a slender dog with four legs, the small one has a grasshopper in a bamboo cage that chirps endlessly, the birds in the golden wire cage flutter their wings, and a little monkey in a dress and hat jumps straight on Zhu Houzhao.

"What a Forbidden Zoo ......"

Zhu Houzhao was holding the monkey, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Forbidden Zoo? That's a good name! ”

At this time, Lu Qi only felt that his trouser legs were being moved, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a fluffy golden chipmunk, staring at her with a pair of round black eyes, as if he was begging for food.

Lu Qi spread his hands helplessly and smiled: "I don't have anything to eat here." ”

The golden chipmunk suddenly slipped under his clothes, and Lu Qi was afraid of trampling it to death, so he hurriedly reached in and pulled it out, but he couldn't see it when he touched it.

was in a hurry, but saw a peacock with pure white feathers and elegant grace, dragging its long tail and stopping in front of Lu Qi.

After staring at Lu Qi for a few seconds, the white peacock raised its head proudly, shook off its long screen feathers, showed its most beautiful appearance, and unfolded a pure white feather fan to Lu Qi.

"Look, Prince! Peacock is on! The eunuchs shouted.

Zhu Houzhao also showed a look of surprise: "This white peacock has been on the screen since it came to the palace." ”

"Seeing the peacock open the screen, it means auspicious! Congratulations to the prince! Liu Jin took the lead in smearing honey with his mouth, and blurted out a string of auspicious words.

Of course, Lu Qi knew that there were only two reasons for the peacock to open the screen, either it was to open its feathers to deter the enemy, which was similar to a cat's fried hair; Either for courtship, to show that you are in good health and have gorgeous feathers.

Somehow, wherever Lu Qi went, this peacock followed.

Just as he was embarrassed, a hurried trot sounded at the door of the hall, and a little eunuch came in sweating with a whisk in his hand: "Prince!" News has come from the War Bureau! ”

"What?!"

Zhu Houzhao Huo Ran got up and scared the monkey away: "What do they say? ”

"They said that what the prince wanted was made!"

Lu Qi couldn't help but tighten his sleeves.

Didn't expect a flintlock pistol to really be made?

didn't even care about it, so Zhu Houzhao ran out, and the eunuchs who hurriedly picked up the canopy and set up the incense burner hurriedly followed, and Lu Qi also followed.

When I arrived at an open place, there were already a few craftsmen waiting for the ceremony, and there were a few brocade guards around them.

Look at their hands again, what is it that is not a fire gun?

"Say it quickly!" Zhu Houzhao picked up the firearm and looked around twice, but he didn't see any difference.

"Yes." The leading craftsman looked lean and lean, with two dark circles under his eyes, and he picked up the fire gun and explained: "The picture given by the prince is only one appearance, and there is no word, and there is nothing on the side."

Wei Chen thought, it is better to put this medicine pool in ......"

"Tell me the results!" Zhu Houzhao can't wait.

"Yes, yes, it works!" The craftsman stroked his beard: "It's just that the shape is still rough and needs to be refined, and it may not be able to light it after rubbing the fire...... But! gave Weichen and others a new idea! ”

Zhu Houzhao's face changed from sunny to cloudy with his words, and then from cloudy to sunny, and finally said with a smile: "Come on, give a reward!" ”

Over there, he was busy saluting and thanking the reward, and Lu Qi's heart also fell back into his stomach.
