I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"Father, things have come to this point, do you think it's meaningful for you to say more?"

"What we are talking about is true or false, won't the old man check it out?"

"You, you just think too much and mess up your own thinking."

"If all of this is false, do you think we, the two of us, still have a chance to enter the palace and go back safe and sound."

After Zhu Pangpang heard the words and thought about it, he gradually came back to his senses.

That's right, if the old man doesn't believe the two of them, I'm afraid that the two of them are being imprisoned in a certain palace now, waiting for the old man's disposal.

Having figured all this out, Zhu Pangpang heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Zhangui who was walking beside him in a very relaxed manner.

"Today your grandfather personally said that you should treat your second uncle well in the future."

Zhu Zhangui nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will support their family for the rest of their lives."

Looking at his son who was obviously in a good mood, Zhu Pangpang shook his head helplessly, and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by a shout.

"Brother, nephew, wait for me!"

The father and son, who were about to turn to the East Palace Road, stopped and looked back.

Seeing the direction of the palace gate, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was running over quickly.

The father and son looked at each other, turned around, put their hands together into their sleeves, and waited quietly.

"Brother, nephew, is the second child okay?"

Zhu Pangpang shook his head.

Zhu Zhangui shrugged, "I have seen famous doctors and imperial doctors from all over the country. There is nothing I can do. I am going back to think about it now, but I guess it will not be too good. Uncle, you have to be mentally prepared."

The corner of Zhu Gaosui's mouth twitched.

Glancing at Zhu Pangpang with a sad face, Zhu Gaosui reached out to stop Zhu Zhangui's shoulder.

"Nephew, Third Uncle belongs to you. You can't treat me like you treated Second Uncle."

Zhu Zhangui looked at him seriously and corrected him solemnly.

"Third uncle, don't talk nonsense, the second uncle's matter really has nothing to do with me!"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhangui who was looking at him seriously, and was silent for a while before speaking.

"Don't look at me with that look, I'm afraid. If it's not possible, when you send someone to mess with me,

Can you reduce the dose of the medicine, I'm afraid I can't take it like your second uncle, can you give me a half body! "

Zhu Zhangui: "..."

Fatty Zhu: "...".

Chapter 279: You have signed so many contracts, now is the time to pay them back.

"The old man didn't say anything, did he?"

"Did you blame you and your son?"

"Is the second child really paralyzed? I heard that it's so serious that it's very moving, and I can't even move."

At the gate of the East Palace, Mrs. Zhang, who had known for a long time that her son and her husband were coming back today, brought her daughter-in-law Tagaylis, who had just entered the palace, looking in the direction of the gate, looking forward to it.

When he saw Zhu Pangpang and Zhu Zhangui walking in, he hurriedly greeted them, his mouth was like a machine gun, and he asked several questions.

Zhu Pangpang looked at his wife's expectant eyes, shook his head helplessly, and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

"Hey! What's the matter with you!"

"The food is ready, let's eat!"

"Also, when the eldest grandson comes back tomorrow, do you want to prepare a little more lesson preparation and teach him tomorrow."

It's a pity that no matter what Zhang asked, Zhu Pangpang ignored her, but walked into the study silently and closed the door.

"What's wrong with your father?"

Seeing that her husband ignored her, Mrs. Zhang thought that something had happened, so she came to Zhu Zhangui and asked in a low voice.

"My father may be in a good mood, he didn't recover for a while!"

"I'm in a good mood. Although it's a good thing that the second child is paralyzed, it can't be shown on the face. If your grandpa sees it, he should be angry again."

Zhu Zhangui shook his head, looked left and right, and saw that only Tagiris was by his side, so he whispered in his mother's ear.

"It's not just about the second uncle. When I came back in the morning, my grandfather said in front of the few of us that he will be the family for another year next year, and my father will be the next year."

"That is to say, my dear mother, my son will be able to call you queen mother in the next year."

Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth in surprise, looked at Zhu Zhangui in disbelief, and asked in the lowest voice.

"Your grandfather is really going to retire?"

Zhu Zhangui nodded seriously, took his mother's hand with one hand, and Tagiris with the other, and whispered as he walked towards the restaurant.

"Second Uncle's incident has greatly stimulated Grandpa, coupled with Grandpa's great achievements during his reign, Grandpa has no regrets in his heart."

"Actually, grandpa mentioned this a few years ago, but he never talked about it again. My father and I thought that the old man ignored it on purpose, so we didn't dare to think about it."

"I didn't expect Grandpa to say it directly today. Many palace people and guards around heard this sentence. It seems that Grandpa is true this time."

"call!"

Hearing her son's analysis, Mrs. Zhang let out a heavy breath. It has been nearly 20 years, and her husband has finally come to the fore.

Knowing the reason, she just ignored her little displeasure when her husband ignored her just now.

After being husband and wife for so many years, she fully understands how hard her husband is. Now that the hardships are coming, it's normal that she can't accept it for a while.

When they came to the restaurant, Mrs. Zhang asked the maid to take the plate, and while serving food, said to the two of them: "Eat first, I'll go and bring some food to your father. After running so far, I don't want to eat anything. How to do it."

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and sat down to have dinner under the service of Tagilis.

After eating a few mouthfuls, and waiting for his mother to pretend, Zhu Zhangui looked at Tagilis, who was waiting for him, and winked at his mother who was about to leave.

It's been almost a year, it should be almost the same.

At first, Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what her son meant, but when she saw her son's eyes, which kept turning away from Tagiris, she instantly understood the meaning.

Rolling her eyes angrily, Zhang reached out and poked Zhu Zhangui's forehead.

"Same as your father!"

"Although it is possible, you must also pay attention to restraint. Your body is the most important thing."

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Tagilis who was beside him and didn't understand what he meant, and walked out of the study with a smile on his plate.

Today is really good news for Dong Gong.

The second child who has been fighting against Donggong has been paralyzed, and the son who has been fighting outside has also returned, and the husband

After more than ten years of hard work, I finally made it through, and the family has added more people, which is simply a blessing.

Originally learned that the second child was paralyzed, Mrs. Zhang, who was still very worried that the old man would punish her husband and son, instantly relaxed.

"By the way, mother, Second Aunt and the others will come from the fief in a few days. Then you can go over and comfort her. After all, this is the end of the matter, and the previous grievances and grievances will be over."

"And when you're talking, don't laugh out loud because everyone will be embarrassed."

Mrs. Zhang, who was about to walk out the door, nodded.

"Don't worry, my mother has managed the harem for so many years, she is not the kind of person who has no brains, I know what to do."

In the next few days, as Zhu Zhangui expected, the news that Zhu Pangpang was about to inherit the throne in the year after next quickly spread throughout the capital.

Upon hearing the news, many people felt very complicated.

If there is no such thing as a new student, the civil servants will definitely celebrate.

However, since the new learning threatened the status of Confucianism, the civil servants were slightly dissatisfied with the prince who did not oppose the establishment of the new learning, and even supported the establishment of the new learning.

But what about dissatisfaction?

This is the national policy set by the old man, and the century-old cause promoted by the grandson, and His Royal Highness the crown prince also implicitly supports it.

Three generations work together, unless the civil servants have the ability to change the dynasty, otherwise this national policy cannot be shaken at all.

Originally, some officials had already planned to join the King of Han, thinking of increasing the power of the King of Han to fight against the prince, and see if they could turn the tables.

But now that the King of Han is paralyzed and has withdrawn from the duel for the throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no competitors at all.

As for Prince Zhao, well.

Many people are not optimistic about him, and no one even thinks about him at all.

Zhu Gaosui: I am also a prince after all, can't you have some confidence in me?

Now that the old man is planning to abdicate, the prince is about to become a new generation of emperor, which is completely settled.

Although the officials have their own thoughts on this, they can't change it. They can only hope that their influence can influence the prince, and don't pay too much attention to the new learners.

In the past few days, many people want to go to the East Palace to pay respects, so come to worship the mountain in advance.

It's impossible to send charcoal in the snow, and they still have to catch the last bus that is the icing on the cake.

Faced with the visits of these officials, Zhu Pangpang didn't meet any of them, and he found various reasons to postpone it.

In the end, he directly announced that he would go to the ancestral temple to fast and meditate in preparation for the big sacrifice at the end of the year.

Even before going to the ancestral temple, Zhu Pangpang told Zhu Zhangui that if there were no necessary matters, try not to contact officials.

The more we need to be cautious at this time, otherwise the old man will feel that this is because the father and son thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion and started to drift away.

Although the old man didn't say anything about Zhu Pangpang's actions, it can be seen from the fact that the old man provided Zhu Pangpang with the green vegetables in the warmer, he was very satisfied with his eldest son's actions.

Zhu Zhangui hasn't seen the minister these days, except when his second aunt's family came to greet him, Zhu Zhangui spent most of his time in the artisan camp, studying steam engine issues with those masters.

After several years of research and experience with ironclad steam engines, the fourth generation of Daming locomotives was formally finalized.

The shape and structure of the locomotive are exactly the same as the locomotives in the industrial age materials that Zhu Zhangui saw.

The reason why it is the 4th generation is because the first three generations are only short-distance experimental products, and the 4th generation is officially on the road.

There are various reasons why the first three generations were not used.

The first generation can’t do anything, it needs speed but no speed, it needs transportation capacity, but it doesn’t have transportation capacity, except for a little novelty, it’s just the same product.

The second generation is equipped on ironclad warships, but due to lack of experience in air pressure, if the control is not good, it is easy to explode the cylinder, it is too dangerous and there is no large-scale output.

The third generation was prepared for the experiment some time ago. As a result, in the first two days of the trial, the craftsman camp

During the inspection, the problem was found again.

The 4th generation is the current generation.

After more than a month of research by hundreds of masters day and night, the fourth-generation steam locomotive was finally settled.

The weight of the locomotive is 22 tons, and the peak speed of an empty car can reach 60 kilometers per hour. If it is transporting people, the speed is about 50 kilometers per hour. If it is full of goods, it may drop to more than 30 to more than 40 kilometers per hour.

But Zhu Zhangui is also satisfied with this.

Everything is researched from generation to generation, and you can't eat a big fat man in one bite.

With the current level of these masters, it is still no problem to fiddle with the steam engine. If you throw an internal combustion engine at them, they will definitely be at a loss.

"Your Highness, what have you thought about what I told you!"

Xia Yuanji, who bet on Zhu Zhangui today, looked at the steam engine on the track, which was gradually formed by the busy masters, and asked in a low voice, holding the blueprint in one hand, while pointing to Zhu Zhangui assembled by the masters.

Zhu Zhangui was upset and said this guy too.

"Don't think about it, Lao Xia, I won't merge the artisan camp into the Ministry of Industry."

At the beginning of this year, Song Li, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was recuperating due to illness. Zhu Pangpang couldn't find a replacement for a while, so he let Xia Yuanji take the lead first.

As a result, Xia Yuanji became the first person in the Yongle Dynasty to hold two ministerial positions.

The reason why this guy is in charge of the two is because since the rise of the Artisan Battalion, the Ministry of Industry has become a dispensable existence.

Most of the craftsmen across the country were recruited by Zhu Zhangui, and the Ministry of Industry was almost poached.

Now the entire Ministry of Industry, except for those few officials, has become empty shelf.

Don't say that others, including the old man, give orders to the craftsman camp for everything.
