Zhuo Qihua

In the war with the Talkin Ministry, the Mata State won a complete victory, which also means that Emperor Yong'an will be busy for a while.Emperor Yong'an planned to select a group of new Jinshi after the palace examination next year and send them to the Talkin Ministry—which would be renamed Hanjiang Mansion later—led by Wanbaoshan.Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people. The new students don't need them to waste time in the Imperial Academy, and they are directly sent to the local government.Well done, stay.If you can't do well, if you don't have the skills, you will just study for nothing, and you will be sent home.What Emperor Yong'an needs now is a doer, not a nerd.

If those students who are full of ambition to work hard for the next year's spring, if they know the plan of His Majesty the Emperor, I don't know if they will cry like water.Of course, Emperor Yong'an didn't tell anyone about this matter, he only revealed a few words to Zhuo Ji, Zhuo Ji expressed his approval.

After saluting with palms together, Master Yinkong said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, the poor monk's lifelong ambition is to study Buddhism. Poor monk, it's time to go." Master Yinkong is an ascetic monk. Although life in the palace is good, it is not his like.On the contrary, such a rich life made him a little uneasy.

The Empress Dowager also knew well the ideals and character of Master Yinkong, so she did not force her to stay.As the emperor's mother, the queen mother believed in Buddhism, but she could not show too much emphasis on Buddhism, which would have a bad influence on the emperor's governance.The queen mother asked Shen Gu to step back and asked, "Master Yinkong, the emperor doesn't believe in Buddhism, he only believes in 'heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher'. But he sent someone to find you. Master, can you tell me that the emperor, Why did you send someone to look for you?" The Queen Mother didn't think Master Yinkong was found by her son.

The queen mother never asked her son about this matter, because the son didn't tell her what he meant, so there must be his taboo.After being silent for a long time, Master Yinkong said: "Shun Zuochu is the reincarnation of a person with great merit, just like Zhugu. The meritorious virtue of Chuchu is so great that even in Zhugu, the poor monk has never seen it. Your Majesty is well aware of this, and is worried about the burden of the past life, so he is looking for the poor monk to comfort his soul."

The Empress Dowager clenched the prayer beads in her hand, her face was unexpectedly shocked. She had guessed a lot, but never expected that the reason would be like this!

Queen Mother: "Great merit...yes, what a great merit..."

Master Yinkong shook his head: "The poor monk can't see it."

The queen mother did not make a sound for a long time.

After this conversation with the Queen Mother, Master Yinkong left the palace the next day, rejected the silver taels given to him by the Queen Mother, and took away only the "Great Compassion Curse" he sorted out.Ten years later, Master Yinkong passed away in Kongshan Temple with all the Buddhist scriptures he had compiled in his life. After his death, his body did not rot.Since then, Master Yinkong's golden body relic has been enshrined in Kongshan Temple.

Master Yinkong's words splashed huge waves in the Queen Mother's heart.She knew that Zhuo Ji was a wise man, but she didn't imagine too much. At most, she guessed that the "before" place of the other party was completely different from that of Mata country.But after Master Yinkong said the "great merit", the empress dowager, who believed in Buddhism, couldn't sit still.

It was the Chinese New Year, and since the fighting had just stopped, Emperor Yong'an was very busy.Feng Xi came in from the outside, whispered a few words to the master, Zhang Xian walked silently to Wan Sui who was concentrating on reviewing the memorial, and coughed lightly.Emperor Yong'an raised his head from the memorial: "What's the matter?"

"Long live, the empress dowager is in Taoyuan Pavilion, she said she has something to see Long live."

"Mother?" Emperor Yong'an was surprised, the mother had something to ask him, and sent someone to tell him that he was going to Shoukang Palace.It's so cold outside, why did you come here?Without delay, Emperor Yong'an got up, Zhang Xian picked up the fur cloak and put it on Long Live, and Emperor Yong'an strode out of the Hall of Walking.

When they arrived at Tao Yuan Pavilion, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Queen Mother, why is it important for you to come here in such a cold day?"

It has been snowing for the past few days, and it is very cold outside, Emperor Yong'an did not allow Zhuo Ji to go out.The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen went out, Zhang Xian and Feng Xi also retreated quietly upon seeing this.

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth solemnly and asked, "Who is Shunxi? Huanger, before Master Yinkong left, I asked him why you asked Lin Xieshan to find him to go to Tongling. You have never believed in Buddhism. I have never had a good impression of him. Master Yinkong told me that Shunxie is a person of great merit. You sent Lin Xieshan to look for him to reassure Shunxie. Is it possible for Shunxie to 'go back' again? Don't lie to me .Danyang Palace, it’s fine if any of your concubines is gone, absolutely not Shunxi!”

Emperor Yong'an didn't blame Grandmaster Yinkong for talking too much, he said after pondering: "Shunxi is the one who has saved the common people in the world."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and raised her hand to cover her chest.

"What he saved was not the people of a country, nor did he overthrow any tyrannical rule. He saved the survival of the human race from the hands of the devil. The price was his life."

The queen mother could barely breathe, and stared at her son in a daze.

Emperor Yong'an: "So I wonder if it is because he has such great merit that God is willing to give him another life." Having said that, Emperor Yong'an's voice is very low, " I'm also afraid... Queen Mother, I'm also afraid that one day he will 'go back'."

The queen mother's tears dripped down, and she was extremely panicked: "Then, is the requiem useful?"

Emperor Yong'an shook his head: "I don't know. I hope it will be useful."

Queen Mother: "Then, then... then find some other monks! Taoist priests! Do more Buddhist rituals..."

"Mother," Emperor Yong'an interrupted his mother, "That will arouse suspicion from others, and it is not a good thing for Zhuo Ji. The search for Master Yinkong's soul is just a psychological comfort. Zhuo Ji has been safe and sound for so many years. In the future, It should be fine. It's just that he fainted last time, and I was a little scared."

The queen mother tried to calm down: "Your concerns are right. I will pray for Zhuo Ji every day. No wonder after Zhuo Ji came to you, everything went smoothly, whether it was state affairs or family affairs. A person with great merit like him, Of course he is blessed."

Emperor Yong'an nodded in agreement with this point.

Knowing the real situation, the queen mother returned to Shoukang Palace and did not disturb her son's handling of state affairs.Emperor Yong'an returned to Zhixing Hall, and as soon as he sat down, the eunuch announced that Sui Guogong and Minister of the Ministry of War Guan Minghui asked to see him, and Emperor Yong'an announced.

The two strode in, and after saluting, Guan Minghui handed over a report that had just been sent from Dengzhou.Zhang Xian took it and quickly handed it over to Long Live.Emperor Yong'an opened it, and Guan Minghui said: "Your Majesty, all the foreign thieves on the three thief ships staying in Dengzhou Port have been captured, and no one has escaped. 48 people died, and the imperial guards sent injured 19 people. Seriously injured. A total of [-] thieves were captured on the three boats, and all their belongings were seized. A total of [-] boxes of drugs, four boxes of gold coins, six boxes of silver coins, and several other items were seized. Together with the thieves and stolen goods, all They are being escorted back to Beijing. There are a few things that the imperial army does not know what they are, and the new governor of Dengzhou, Mi Wanzhong, ordered people to hurry back to Beijing first."

Mi Wanzhong has already returned to Dengzhou.While reading the newspaper, Emperor Yong'an asked, "I don't know what it is?"

Guan Minghui: "It's not clearly stated in the report either."

Lin Xieshan said at this time: "Your Majesty, among all the Haixi merchants in custody in the capital, there are indeed Haixi merchants among them, but there are also ordinary merchants. How to deal with these people is up to Your Majesty to decide."

Emperor Yong'an: "Respectable businessmen, let them go home, and each person will be paid 30 taels of silver as a pacification fee. As long as they are doing business in our Mata country, I will not embarrass them. Those small operations will be beheaded directly after the public trial, as a warning Follow me. Our country welcomes those businessmen who come to do business sincerely. If you have evil intentions, this is the end. The cabinet drafted a circular on this matter and announced it to the whole country."

"Yes."

Emperor Yong'an then asked Lin Xieshan: "Has the research building of the Military Industry Research Institute been built yet?"

Lin Xieshan: "Returning to Your Majesty, I just went to the site to see it yesterday. It has been built, and the only thing left is to pave the road. It's just that it's the end of the year, and it will take some time for the equipment to be equipped by the Ministry of Industry. Put into use."

Emperor Yong'an: "Hurry up and urge the labor department."

"Yes."

In the young year, Emperor Yong'an sealed the pen.Now that something big is happening, he can't even write it himself, he can only let others do it for him.Huang Guixie also received three different types of vehicles from Xiangfu Palace.Huang Guixie liked it very much at the first sight, and asked someone to pass on Deguixie, and brought the case of the third prince Chen along with him.The eighth prince, Chen Ji, is only ten months old and can't ride yet.But Huang Guixie also asked someone to hug Chen Ji.

Chen Ji can't walk yet, and he likes three chic cars with different shapes.It's a pity that he can only crawl now.Quan Sheng and Liang Qi stood aside, waiting for the next order from the queen.After waiting for a while, Deguixie came, bringing her youngest son who was tightly wrapped up.

As soon as he arrived, Huang Guixie said: "Shunxi has someone make three baby carriages, come and let Chen'an try to see if they fit. The small ones in the palace are the only ones he can use now."

Chen An, who was being held by Mammy, struggled to get off when he saw the three cars.Chen Yu is one year and five months old and can walk.Protected by his mother, he walked to the three small wooden carts with his calves thumping, and was about to push them while holding onto the tricycles.Quan Sheng said from the side: "Cui, this car is for riding on it, and His Highness can ride it by himself."

After speaking, Quansheng stepped forward again and demonstrated how to use the balance car and scooter.De Guixie looked at the three small carts with great curiosity, and the nanny carried His Highness to the tricycle.When Chen Ji saw it, he was unhappy and cried.Miss Huang, dumbfounded, asked the nanny to bring her son over, wiped his tears, and coaxed him: "You won't leave yet, you can't ride this bike."

How could Chen Ji understand this? If something he liked was taken away, he would only cry.And Chen Yu, who had already learned without a teacher, started to move his two calves one after the other, and rode away on the bike.Seeing this, Chen Ji cried even louder.De Guixie was also helpless, not because he was reluctant to part with a car, but because this car was really not suitable for Chen Ji, when he sat on it, his calves couldn't reach the ground.

Huang Guixie asked the nanny to take the son away first, and said to Quan Sheng and Liang Qi: "I will send some carpenters for you. For these three cars, you should make nine cars each. Go back and ask your master , is there any other car that can be used by the Eighth Prince and the others who are young."

"Yes."

Deguixie smiled and said, "It's cheap to make this car."

Huang Guixie: "Chen Yu is the only one who can use it now. I see that balance bike, Chen Yu needs to be a little older to use it. That balance bike can be given to King Qi."

De Guixie: "Hey, look at the scooter, the King of Qin should be able to use it. The two of them are in the prince's house, they are busy with their homework, and they have to do the things that His Majesty asked. It's more interesting."

Huang Guixie was very moved when he heard it, and thought about it: "Then let's give it to King Qi and King Qin first, their two children have worked really hard on weekdays."

De Guixie: "If they like it, this car can be a business."

Huang Guixie thought it made sense, and immediately said to Quansheng and Liang Qi: "Go back and ask your master, if there are other styles, let him tell them all at once."

"Yes."

Liang Qi and Quan Sheng, who took the task, went to Fengtian Hall to meet the master, and Zhuo Ji was painting with Emperor Yong'an.After Quansheng and Liang Qijin talked about the request of the noble concubine, Emperor Yong'an was very upset: "You are worrying about other people's affairs again!"

Zhuo Ji: "It's not about worrying, it's just drawing casually when I'm free, and I don't need to move my mind. I don't think about or do anything every day, and my body is going to rust."

Emperor Yong'an: "What rust, you just have to take good care of it, and just do nothing."

Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty, will you watch my painting? It will be ready soon."

Forget it, it's almost Chinese New Year, don't make your love wait unhappy because of a few baby cars.Emperor Yong'an feigned anger: "I just spoil you too much."

Zhuo Ji smiled, took out the brush from Emperor Yong'an's hand, and picked up a pencil.Emperor Yong'an stepped aside and stood behind Zhuo Ji, looking down at his painting from a high position.Zhuo Ji drew a simple structure diagram of a twisting car, a simple structure diagram of a baby stroller, and a simple structure diagram of a baby hand tricycle.After Quansheng and Liang Qi took it back, they needed to be further improved into a suitable wooden structure.Now the utilization rate of rubber is not high, and it needs to be "imported" from Nanzhao for children to play with, so Zhuo Ji didn't mention using rubber to make tires.

Quansheng and Liang Qi took the blueprints and left, but Emperor Yong'an was a little unhappy: "It's not your and my child, why do you need to be so concerned. Worrying about their pregnancy and childbirth is not enough, and you have to worry about the child. You are I like doing work for myself."

Zhang Xian and Feng Xi lowered their heads and grinned, Long Live (Your Majesty)'s words sounded a little tasteless.Both of them could hear it, let alone Zhuo Ji.He turned around and hugged Emperor Yong'an: "Actually, I also asked Quansheng and Liang Qi to make something for Your Majesty, but it seems that they haven't finished it yet." He covered Emperor Yong'an's mouth with one hand, "Your Majesty, don't ask me What."

Pulling down Ai Shi's hand, Emperor Yong'an had joy on his face: "Okay, I won't ask."

The expression on Zhuo Ji's face paused, then he raised his hand and patted his head: "Look at my brain, I forgot one thing."

"If you forget it, forget it, beat yourself up." Emperor Yong'an grabbed Zhuo Ji's hand.

However, Zhuo Ji pulled out his hand, turned around, took a piece of white paper, and started to draw on it, saying, "Mata country's carriages all have two wheels, because four-wheel steering is inconvenient. As long as four Divide the wheels into two frames, and then install a vertical axle to solve this problem. Then use springs to absorb shocks, and use rubber tires instead of wooden tires, and the car will be ready. Your majesty's car can be modified in this way. If you can in the future When it is promoted, we can formally sign a formal rubber trade agreement with Nanzhao."

Emperor Yong'an: "What I love to say is reasonable." Of course, in the future, Nanzhao will be included in the territory of Mata, so there will be no trade or non-trade.

When Zhuo Ji finished drawing, Emperor Yong'an reached out and took it over. After looking carefully, he said: "Zhang Xian, give this drawing to Shi Yu, and tell him to get a four-wheeled carriage first."

"Yes."

Zhang Xian stepped forward to take it carefully, and then went out.Zhuo Ji turned around and hugged Emperor Yong'an again: "If the Ministry of Industry makes it, His Majesty will take me to my farm in a four-wheeled carriage. It should have been there long ago."

Emperor Yong'an: "When you recover, I will take you there."

"It's been good."

Emperor Yong'an hummed: "Okay? When there is flesh on this waist, it will be good." After speaking, Emperor Yong'an pinched Zhuo Ji's barely fleshy waist.Zhuo Ji stood on tiptoe and whispered in Emperor Yong'an's ear: "If there is a circle of flesh around the waist of the waiter, it will be a disappointment when making love to His Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an burned instantly, and kissed Zhuo Ji with his head sideways. Seeing this, Feng Xi hurriedly backed out.Emperor Yong'an swept aside the paper spread on the dragon case, and hugged Zhuo Ji up.Zhuo Ji hastily called for a pause: "Your Majesty! Just in case someone asks to see you later."

"Feng Xi will block it. You dare to tease me!"

Pressing down on Zhuo Ji, Emperor Yong'an kissed his neck.This is Zhuo Ji's sensitive part, he gasped immediately.Although there are earth dragons and charcoal braziers in the house, it is deep winter after all.Considering Zhuo Ji's body, Emperor Yong'an only pulled down his trousers, and rubbed his fingers on his buttocks, which were already used to sex, and it soon became wet.One finger stuck in, and Emperor Yong'an unbuttoned Zhuo Ji's skirt with the other hand, and then kissed him on his collarbone.

"His Majesty……"

Tucking his fingers, Emperor Yong'an immersed himself in the sweetness of his paternity, and was not in a hurry to enter too soon.
