Long before Tang Shi's test run, Ding Xiaoyan reported the cement formula and the cement road here to his superiors.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty ordered people to build a cement road according to the recipe. After the dynasty, he invited civil and military officials to test the road.
In fact, most of the roads in the palace are smooth, but this smoothness is of course different from the smoothness of cement roads. Moreover, although stone slabs and blue bricks are labor-intensive and time-consuming, cement roads are so time-saving and labor-saving.
Naturally, everyone praised it.
Then Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty talked with great interest about how the cement came from, and then talked about Dongfeng County’s monument built every ten miles. Businessmen, people, and even clan elders all contributed money to build roads...
Everyone's tone suddenly changed.
Some people said: This cement road looks pretty good now. Who knows what will happen in the long run? We should wait a few years and see.
Others said: Why didn’t Mr. Enfu County offer such a good thing as soon as he got it, and actually built the road himself? The emperor has not used this kind of road yet! She should be punished to make up for her mistakes! (A dead Taoist will not die but a poor Taoist)
There are also people who think they have realized the superior intention: this woman does have some skills and should be summoned to see her (taken into the harem).
There are also people who are trying to divert trouble to the east: The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is here, think about how to build roads in the capital quickly, and report to the emperor (I won’t pay for it anyway.)
These people are used to having one thing on their face and another in their heart.
The prince looked on with cold eyes.
In fact, he understood very well that Emperor Ming Yan was touched for a moment. He just wanted to hear remarks like "The capital is our home and we should also pay to build roads together" to show loyalty. In fact, now the treasury counts.
Shang Fengying, can Emperor Ming Yan really ask them to pay?
As a result, these people kept talking for a long time, but no one said what Emperor Ming Yan wanted to hear.
In the end, Emperor Ming Yan left with a cold face.
The prince thought for a while and followed silently.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty was still angry when he entered the imperial study: "This is my official of Dayan! He enjoys his rights as a matter of course, but complains when he performs his responsibilities. Even a country girl knows that 'if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!',"
They all read poetry and books, but they don’t understand such a simple truth!”
The prince poured him tea with his own hands and said with a smile: "Why should my father be angry? My son thinks that what you all said is right. My father should immediately recruit the Ministry of Construction to start building roads."
Emperor Ming Yan glared at him, "Is this your noble opinion?"
"That's right!" The prince smiled and said: "Let's call the Ministry of Works to repair Zhuque Street, East Market, and West City first. If they don't like to repair the other places, forget it. If they want to repair it, they can pay for it themselves.
"
Emperor Ming Yan understood immediately.
After the Zhuque Street was built, the facade was restored, the East Market and the West Market were built, and the people were satisfied. As for other places... none of these people's mansions occupies several miles of land. They don't want to build it, and it's not him who makes it difficult to leave!
Emperor Ming Yan laughed: "You kid, when did you become so narrow-minded?"
The prince smiled and said: "The good things about my son are naturally learned from his father, and the bad things are naturally learned from the people... But today, I can't blame others for being narrow-minded. Isn't it just what my father taught me?
?”
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said: "When did I teach you?"
The prince smiled and said: "My father said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Naturally, my son will have to think of ways to make them understand this truth."
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and shook his head: "I didn't say these words."
He remembered and asked his son: "Has Xiao Fu Niang written to you recently?"
"No," the prince sighed and glanced at Emperor Ming Yan: "Since my son revealed his identity, he has never written a letter to his son. Even the last time he sent a 'fan', he didn't write half a word."
Emperor Ming Yan had no consciousness of taking away his son's toys. He looked proud of "I knew it" and said with a smile: "Then I'm afraid you don't know, this little lucky lady has made something new again."
He took out the paper under the memorial and showed it to the prince. He first briefly explained how to use the car, and then detailed the drawings.
The prince said: "With this road, it is easy to use this car. Without this kind of road, it is not easy to use this car."
"Yes." Emperor Ming Yan gently knocked on the dragon case: "When I inspect the northwest, I must go to Dongfeng County to have a look."
The prince asked: "Father wants to inspect the northwest?"
"Yes," Emperor Ming Yan said, "Choose an auspicious day to set off." He patted the prince on the shoulder and said, "I won't take you with me this time. Can you leave Chen Yunxin with you?"
After understanding what he meant, the prince couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
The two talked for more than an hour. Near noon, the prince left the imperial study and went to Yonghe Palace, where he met Yan Tingyue.
Yan Tingyue’s aunt is Meng Min, the cousin of the imperial concubine.
Yan Tingyue and the little princess Yue'er who died in infancy were both born on August 15th, and even the time was at the same quarter of Maozheng (6:15 in the morning), so the imperial concubine always felt that she was the reincarnation of Yue'er, and she was very interested in her.
He has always been very pampered and would be called into the palace from time to time to talk to her.
The prince went to sit in the side hall and took a book to read. He could faintly hear Yan Tingyue's coquettish and joking voice.
For some reason, the prince was in a trance and thought of that child again.
His biological mother passed away when he was two years old, and he no longer remembers her appearance. All the memories about his mother-in-law in his mind belong to his mother and concubine.
He remembered that he was only six years old when his mother-in-law was pregnant. He was very happy to know that he was going to have younger brothers and sisters, and went to see her every day.
Who would have known that later, I overheard someone in the palace saying that he was not the imperial concubine's child. The imperial concubine would definitely not treat him like this again if she had her own biological child, and she might even try to murder him.
At that time, he became heartbroken.
Who knew that a few days later, his mother-in-law suddenly took him out, dressed in palace clothes, and took him to hide in the rockery.
He was really scared at that time, afraid that his mother-in-law would really kill him.
But she seemed unaware and didn't explain. The two of them just hid in the rockery. They were fine at first, but then they started to suffer from back pain.
Seeing that his mother-in-law was not comfortable sitting there, he was worried, so he took off his robe, spread it on the stone, and asked his mother-in-law to sit down.
The concubine touched his head and sat down. Then he sat on the east side again and asked the concubine to lean on him, and the concubine also tilted.
The stone hurt his ribs, but he kept enduring it, feeling a little aggrieved.
The two of them waited for nearly an hour before they saw Xiao Qi, the palace servant who was waiting for him, coming over to meet with Rengui, the eunuch in Queen Su's palace. The two exchanged a few words, to the effect that they asked her to find more opportunities to work with the prince.
What I said before...
That was the first time he understood what alienation meant.
As soon as they left, the palace attendants from Yonghe Palace came to take them back. The mother and concubine were pregnant, so the process was very difficult.
After she was done with her work, she hugged him in her arms and asked him if he understood.
He made it clear.
The mother-in-law said: "You don't understand, Rengui is mine."
He was startled, and then the mother-in-law explained to him in detail how she learned about Queen Su's plot, how she found out that they were going to meet today, and how she investigated Rengui's family and bribed Rengui.
We performed today's drama.
The mother-in-law said: "If I hadn't done it deliberately, if they were to do such a confidential thing, their meetings would be extremely confidential and the time would be extremely short. They would also use cryptic language when speaking. You would not be able to understand it, and you would never be able to hear it.
Handle. Today I ask you to watch this drama with your own eyes, just to make you understand that what you hear may not necessarily be true, and what you see may not be true. Between my mother and my son, one is seeking favors, and the other is claiming possessions. This kind of thing will happen more often in the future.
