Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 598
When the voices in the Wenhua Hall quieted down again, Emperor Chongzhen had come to his senses and had an idea in his mind.

But at this time, it was almost dusk, and Emperor Chongzhen knew that there were still matters waiting to be dealt with in the harem, so he stopped discussing the matter and drove back to the harem.

Sure enough, Queen Zhou was already waiting for him.After seeing the ceremony, he complimented Emperor Chongzhen on his martial arts, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen with a trace of worry: "Your Majesty, there is one thing... one thing..."

She said it once, but she couldn't say it out. Obviously, she still couldn't make up her mind about talking to Emperor Chongzhen about this matter. She didn't know what the consequences would be.However, if she didn't say anything, she felt that it would be shameful. If the foreign officials found out and impeached her, she didn't know what would happen in the end?

Seeing her like this, Emperor Chongzhen sat relaxed, and the queen's close maid rubbed her shoulders, stretched out her hand to signal for Queen Zhou to sit beside her, and then smiled and said, "What do you need to hesitate when husband and wife talk about things? Outside the palace, is there anything else you can't tell me?"

Hearing this, Empress Zhou didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, I feel that this is a bit too much. As a prince, he should rule the country and ensure the country's security. However, He He……"

"How is he?" Emperor Chongzhen said a little unhappy after hearing this, "I have already said that there is no need to hesitate, just say what you want!"

"He went to build that steam engine, but he is just perfunctory to the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the art of emperors." Empress Zhou said it in one breath, and seeing Emperor Chongzhen seemed a little disapproving, she immediately added, "But he is a prince, Isn't this not doing business properly? When the concubine said him, he talked back to the concubine, saying that this was what His Majesty meant. The concubine really has nothing to do with him, and it is not good to go to war for it and let outsiders see it as a joke. Your Majesty, You have to take care of this!"

Emperor Chongzhen already knew about this matter through eavesdropping on the seeds.At this time, he pretended to hear it for the first time, nodded and said: "I know, how about this, let the prince and his younger brothers and sisters come here, and let other concubines come together, let me tell you!"

"..." Upon hearing that Emperor Chongzhen was making such a big move, Empress Zhou immediately became unhappy.Criticizing the prince in front of so many people, what if people have the desire to covet him and shake the foundation of the prince?
She was silent for a while, and then she had to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if..."

"What's wrong?" The smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face disappeared, "Didn't you ask me to discipline you?"

After finishing speaking, he told Wang Chengen who was waiting at the door: "Big companion, go deliver the decree!"

"Slave obeys the decree!" Wang Chengen, in front of Emperor Chongzhen, of course didn't care whether the queen agreed or not, and immediately took the decree and left.

When Queen Zhou saw it, she couldn't help but regret it very much. If she had known such a thing, she would not have said it.Now it's all right, not only let those sisters watch the jokes, but also let the prince's younger brothers and sisters watch the prince's jokes!
However, the emperor's authority was getting stronger and stronger. Although she was a queen, she did not dare to contradict the emperor's intention. She could only take it one step at a time.

Emperor Chongzhen had just returned, and everyone was paying attention to the emperor's movements. Therefore, with a decree, those who were qualified to come, including the prince, rushed over immediately.

Prince Zhu Cihong was actually a little afraid of meeting Emperor Chongzhen.Although he contradicted his mother and even used his father as a shield, when he was in front of Emperor Chongzhen, he became stage fright again.Because in his heart, he didn't know that everything the queen mother said was reasonable.However, he is just interested in what his father said!
Empress Zhou actually didn't know that at Zhu Cihong's age, around 17 years old, she had stayed in the palace for a long time, had not experienced wind and rain, and had reached a youthful rebellious period.Just like a cow, if you force the cow to drink water, the cow can keep its neck straight but won't drink, no matter how you press it, it won't work.

Concubine Tian Gui didn't die because of the butterfly effect, so she didn't die prematurely due to excessive sadness. At this time, she was the same as Concubine Yuan Gui. Looking at this posture and the expression of the queen, she probably guessed what was going on.For a while, they all secretly looked at the emperor's expression, and then went to look at the prince, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in their hearts. This is betrayed by his mother, and they are going to be criticized, right?
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that everyone had arrived, he said with a smile: "I have often traveled in person in the past few years, and I have not been in the palace for a long time. There are indeed omissions in some things. Look at my princes and daughters. They have grown a lot taller, haha... ..."

Hearing this opening remark, Empress Zhou couldn't help feeling regretful again. If she had known this before, she would find another time to talk about it.The emperor wanted to talk about the prince in public, it must be because he bothered him with unhappy things on the first day he just came back.

As she was thinking about it, she saw Emperor Chongzhen looking at the crown prince, asking with neither a sullen face nor a smile, "I heard from your mother that you have been working on that steam engine?"

Facing his father, Zhu Cihong didn't have the guts to lie, and immediately replied honestly: "Return to father, my son is indeed working on that steam engine!"

"How's it going?"

Hearing this question, Zhu Cihong raised his head and glanced at his father, as if he was not angry, then he boldly replied: "When the father gave the lesson to my son, he already explained the truth, and now my son has already Made one."

Speaking of this, he wanted to prove to his father that he had this ability, so he immediately raised his voice and emphasized: "Really, the steam engine made by Erchen can already beat things steadily!"

No matter what, I believe there is a big difference between doing nothing and producing a result.

With his dignity as a prince, Song Yingxing's guidance, and a large group of princes accompanying him to help him, he already knew the principle of the steam engine, and with the wisdom of Ming craftsmen, he made a prototype. In fact, the problem was not very big.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally showed a smile on his face and asked him: "Why don't you listen to your mother and insist on focusing on this steam engine?"

When Zhu Cihong saw the smile on his father's face, his courage grew a lot. He took a peek at his mother's queen, and regardless of what his mother's thoughts were, he immediately replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Father's emperor once said that this steam engine If it can be built, at that time, self-propelled carriages, ships, etc. will definitely bring earth-shaking changes to Daming. Erchen thought, since this steam engine is so important, as the prince of Daming, he will naturally do his part Strong!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and said nothing, anyway, he had already said it, whether he was dead or alive, criticized or something else, it was up to his father!
The others all looked at him, and then at Emperor Chongzhen. At this moment, they were a little unclear about what the emperor's attitude was on this matter.

Only Empress Zhou was certain in her heart, secretly complaining about her stupid son: You are the prince!This kind of thing, even if it is important, let the craftsmen do it.The big deal is to make it later, and to reward more things, this is what the emperor has to do!Your father is wise and mighty, so how can you justify it?
But who knows, after Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said with a look of relief: "It seems that you listened carefully to what I taught you. It's very good!"

Hearing such affirmative words, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but immediately raised his head and looked at his father with surprise and surprise. Is this true?Are you being praised?
Others were a little stunned when they heard this. They were even thinking, had the emperor been away from the palace for a long time and forgotten that Zhu Cixiang was the prince?
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and found that the adults were mostly surprised, while the children were mostly surprised. Obviously, they had different ideas.

But no matter what they thought, Emperor Chongzhen continued to say to the prince: "Governing the world and managing the Ming Dynasty are mostly done by those courtiers. And when the emperor, whether it is Zhen or you in the future, the most important thing is, It is to know what the general trend of the world will be. The world today is undergoing changes that have not been seen in thousands of years. If you want Ming to stand on top of the world, you must have a clear understanding."

Hearing what he said so seriously, even Empress Zhou didn't think about the prince for a while, but listened to him with ears pricked up.

"The world of the future is a world where natural knowledge is used to transform the world. As I said in that lecture, if the steam engine is built, the changes in Ming Dynasty will indeed be turned upside down. As long as the steam engine is continuously improved, it can bring Come to the things I said. This is the overall situation. I value this, and you, as the prince, also value this. It will definitely set an example for the people of the world. The continuous application of natural knowledge will be appreciated by the people of Ming Dynasty. Created. This is a matter of merit for the country and benefits for the future. I am very pleased that you are interested in this and are taking the initiative to do it!"

Speaking of this, he looked at the other princes and princesses, and said to them: "It's the same with you, don't think about leading the army to fight, conquer the world, and stabilize the Quartet. I will defeat all enemies! What about you, do it!" What you want to do, make a name for yourself, contribute a different kind of power to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, leave a fortune for the history books, and leave a wealth for future generations, all of which will be the capital of your name in history!"

The meaning of Emperor Chongzhen has become very obvious at this time.It is to encourage these princes and princesses to learn natural knowledge, and then choose a certain content of interest, and then make a name for themselves.Instead of receiving a title, and then eating and waiting to die!

In this way, there is another advantage, that is, the demonstration effect is greater, which will definitely greatly promote the development of Ming's science and technology.
