Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1004 Consecration

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at the steel monster.

  But he was still shocked by the incomparable power of the giant monster.

   This huge monster rushed towards Emperor Hongzhi.

  The supreme majesty of the Son of Heaven was actually ignored by it.

  Boom...boom...

  The huge monster ran fast, and then passed Emperor Hongzhi. It brought a huge gust of wind and the pungent smell. Rows of iron wheels ran over the rails, and fine sand splashed out, and it was impossible to open your eyes.

  Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly closed his eyes, and then, this huge snake-like beast roared past.

  When Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes, there was only one rear of the car left for Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked astonished.

  Xiao Jing beside him was also a little dazed.

  The aura exuded by the rolling giant beast made them feel a little terrified.

  The other eunuchs, accompanying ministers, imperial guards, etc. were all trembling with fear on their faces.

  Liu Jian couldn't help thinking of a word in his mind: "When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers."

   Isn’t this a monster?

  Emperor Hongzhi let out a sigh of relief, and then he managed to calm himself down.

   "Your Majesty, I just saw that there is someone in the belly of the giant beast!"

   Someone!

  Emperor Hongzhi suddenly opened his eyes: "Empress Dowager?"

   "I don't know!" Xiao Jing was about to cry.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help shivering.

   Terrible, really terrible.

  I am tens of feet away from this giant beast, yet I can feel the extraordinary momentum of that giant beast, and I am quite frightened by that giant beast. This old lady is in the belly of a giant beast, how frightened she must be.

   What's more, the old lady's age can't stand the toss.

  Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists, with a ferocious face: "Chase!"

  He didn't say anything, and everyone responded when he gave an order.

Chase!

  Therefore, the guards on horseback galloped without hesitation.

Da da da…

  A cavalry team ran towards the tail of the giant beast without hesitation.

  Emperor Hongzhi had already stepped into the car, his face was full of anxiety, and he ordered: "What are you still doing, hurry up and catch up with it!"

   "Your Majesty..." Xiao Jing wanted to say something.

  Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes wide and said sharply, "Shut up!"

  Xiao Jing didn't speak anymore, at this moment Long Yan was furious, if he talked too much, nine out of ten he would be finished.

  How dare he dare to offend Nilin, what His Majesty says can be done: "Your Majesty has a purpose, chase after him!"

   This chasing word clearly shows the aura of the Tian Family.

  Then, the chariot of the Son of Heaven started to move, and the surrounding Tiqi cavalry flattered their horses one after another, and the walking courtiers, eunuchs, and countless strongmen all puffed and puffed.

  The speed of the steam train...in this era, it seems like lightning.

   But the fast horse ran wildly, but it was still able to catch up quickly.

Several imperial guards who were eager to make meritorious deeds were actually running like lightning, almost catching up with the tail of the steam locomotive. Keeping the speed, as if ignoring everything, he continued to run without any sign of stopping.

On the contrary, the fast horse under the seat ran quickly at first, but later, it began to pant, and the speed dropped significantly. Later, the poor horse snorted crazily, no matter how much the knight on the horse urged, four The hooves can't move anymore.

  …

  In the second compartment.

  The ashen-faced Zhang Ye gradually returned to normal.

  People are like this, just get used to it.

   What I feared at the beginning did not happen, as if in the belly of this giant beast, such a movement is really normal.

   Nothing bad should happen.

   But he was thoughtful.

  Other passengers began to appreciate the scenery along the way.

  It was the first time they sat here, admiring the outside world with this kind of eyes. The scenery outside was extremely familiar. Someone said in surprise: "We are almost in the old city, we are almost in the old city."

   "My son, what are you thinking?"

   There are also those who are close to the Zhang family, looking at the eldest son of the British Duke.

  Zhang Ye's face moved slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "You may not believe it when you say it, but I seem to see... Your Majesty through the glass window just now."

  …

In carriage No. 1, the empress dowager was already grinning from ear to ear. She was excited and found that she was a little hungry. The cakes were brought up. While she was eating the cakes, she was listening to what the emperor's grandson showed in the nursery. 'Miracle'.

  In the dormitory in the nursery, there was a faint brilliance shining at night.

   It is also like the well water that the emperor's grandson drank, but a clear spring gushes out.

  Fang Jifan sat in this steel monster created by the working people of the Ming Dynasty, countless skilled craftsmen, and the introduction of scientific mechanisms, like a magic stick, talking nonsense.

  Mr. Zhou loves to listen to this, and when she hears this, her eyes light up, piercing with energy, like the hero of a novel possessed, and her body trembles.

  Fang Jifan doesn't have the feeling of shame.

   As he was talking, he naturally had to talk about the prince. When he mentioned the prince, Fang Jifan thought of Monkey King. Yes, they all belong to the monkey.

Zhou sometimes couldn't help but say: "Zai Mo, he will be a person with great blessings in the future. As for the prince, others say that the prince is naughty, but the Ai family never sees it that way. He is a filial child, so let's just say this... this ...what car?"

   "Steam train, empress Mingjian, this is what Li Zhenren did. He invited the Taishang Laojun to come down to earth, and drove the car with light."

"That's right, let's talk about this fully lit steam train, can others build it? Sitting here, the Ai family looks exquisite. It's amazing. This is the power of the prince. Of course, you are also very good. "

Fang Jifan smiled, and said modestly: "Sun Chen didn't do enough, he just joined in the fun with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness not only knows how to build cars, but also drives. Everyone admires him for his ingenuity. "

   Mrs. Zhou also smiled, and leaned comfortably on the pillow behind the sofa, without saying anything more.

  The speed of the train gradually began to decrease.

  The 41-mile road from the new city to the inner city travels at a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour. If this speed is not much different from a snail in later generations, it is terrifying in this era.

   After more than half an hour, the train began to slowly enter the station.

But in the old city, everyone looked at this winding monster in horror. The buildings in the old city, especially in the outer city, are often relatively compact. , There is a lot of discussion.

  Many children wanted to run after the train, but were stopped by the guards and scolded them severely.

   Bang… Bang…

  The train that entered the station finally stopped, and the people in the carriage couldn't help but staggered due to the inertia.

  In the steam locomotive, Zhu Houzhao jumped out of the car cheerfully: "Unlock, unlock!"

   He shouted.

   Someone had already gone to pull the door bolts of each carriage.

   Immediately afterwards, countless people came down from the car.

  People looked at all this in astonishment, this...is the old city, near the Forbidden City...

  Many people have a concept of the distance between the new city and the old city.

The fastest speed is riding a horse, but horses can be fast or slow. If it is a short-distance sprint, its speed will naturally not be lower than this car, but if it is a long-distance trek, especially between the new city and the old city, there will be a flow of people. Need to be circumvented, sometimes there is a blockage.

   Calculated in this way, even if it is riding a horse, it will take an hour.

  As for the four-wheeled carriage, the speed will be slower, unless you don't go to the city, once you go to the city, even two hours will not be enough.

  But now, for many people, it seems... just in the blink of an eye, the work of two cups of tea is here.

  They swarmed out of this monster and saw the stop sign, which read: "Zhangji Silk Hubu Station" on the stop sign of Nanuoda.

  Zhang Jisi, this is understandable, but... this is the Ministry of Finance?

  From being scary at first, all of a sudden, people started whispering.

   What is this, this is an unforgettable experience, this is something you can brag about for a year, you are alive, you have ridden in such a car, and you were invited by His Royal Highness...

  Zhu Houzhao ignored them, but rushed into the No. 1 carriage at once.

  Seeing the Empress Dowager standing up tremblingly under the support of Fang Jifan, the prince bowed: "Great-grandmother, is the phoenix body still healthy?"

   "Okay, it's very good. It's just that when the car is parked, there is some discomfort, but there is no hindrance. The car is still open?"

   Zhu Houzhao's face turned red.

  Security comes from my superb technical level, what does it have to do with that dog-like **** in the sky.

  Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Highness, what the empress means is that she likes it very much."

   "Oh." At first glance, it was obvious that Fang Jifan was behind it.

  The two, one on the left and the other on the right, helped the Empress Dowager onto the platform.

The Empress Dowager looked at the stop sign and couldn't help but said: "This is the old city, isn't it just a wall away from the Forbidden City? Ai's house is in the new city, and it's comfortable to live in, but...to be honest, sometimes, I miss it. In the Renshou Palace in the Forbidden City, when people get old, they tend to be nostalgic."

  Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "This is no longer troublesome. If great-grandmother likes it, she will come here often in the future."

  In this station, there is a special VIP room, and the empress dowager was helped in. The empress dowager couldn't help but look back at the steam train. At this time, all the passengers were talking about it.

   Sit down and drink a few cups of tea.

  But at this time, the fast horse had already arrived, and the mighty guards swarmed in, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"

   It was a bit sudden, all of a sudden, it bluffed the passengers. People no longer clenched their fists at the front of the train and tried to test the steam train in the way of testing watermelons.

  The next moment, a carriage entered the station.

   Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car. He was anxious, looked around, his eyes were red: "Where is the Empress Dowager?"

  …

  I recently took cold medicine, and I felt very sleepy when I took it. I feel better today, and I will try to update it. Sometimes I really wish I was a painless, tireless machine that made everyone wait so long that I would die.
