Chapter 484 Restless
When Chen Hong heard His Majesty the Emperor's summons, his face flushed with excitement. He quickly put down what he was doing and followed the messenger to Emperor Jiajing.
When Chen Hong arrived at Emperor Jiajing's place, he was a little puzzled when he saw a large tall shelf standing suddenly in front of him.
But Chen Hong understood that this was not the question that should be asked, so Chen Hong withdrew his eyes and continued to walk towards Emperor Jiajing with his head lowered.
When he was about three to five steps away from Emperor Jiajing, Chen Hong bowed respectfully to Emperor Jiajing and said, "Your servant, Chen Hong, bows to the emperor."
Emperor Jiajing looked at Chen Hong and hummed, and then said to a few craftsmen on the side: "You guys tell Chen Hong the essentials of safety ropes, and ask him to remember them well, and he will also climb up to this shelf and try it out later." Try.”
Chen Hong was confused when he heard what Emperor Jiajing said and didn't know what was going on. But when he saw Huang Jin smiling and looking at him beside Emperor Jiajing without saying a word, he couldn't help but panic a little.
But even so, Chen Hong didn't show any unnecessary signs. He immediately stood up obediently and looked at the craftsmen on the side with a humbly asking for advice.
When these craftsmen saw Chen Hong, they also showed awe in their eyes and did not dare to speak too loudly.
But when they finished explaining the role and function of the safety rope, Chen Hong's eyes suddenly stared like bells!
"What?! Just tie this rope and climb up to the top and hang in the air?"
Chen Hong's voice suddenly became louder. He couldn't believe it was true.
Emperor Jiajing, who was waiting for Chen Hong's movement, heard his scream and immediately said displeased: "Why are you shouting? What's the big deal? These people have already tried it before you, so hurry up now."
Chen Hong was reprimanded so ruthlessly by Emperor Jiajing, and he felt aggrieved immediately. However, he did not dare to express his grievance to Emperor Jiajing. He could only reply nervously: "Is this true, Emperor?" < br>
Emperor Jiajing looked at Chen Hong unhappily, "What? Can I still lie to you? Come on, I will try again after you finish trying."
After hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, Chen Hong was even more frightened. He quickly said: "Absolutely not! Emperor, you are an immortal body, how can you be in danger? Whatever you want to do, I am willing to go forward for you."< br>
Emperor Jiajing chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, I know your loyalty. Now you can help me try again. I'll talk about it later when you come down."
Chen Hong responded obediently, and then carefully began to tie the safety rope to himself according to the instructions and instructions of the craftsmen.
After making sure that there was no problem with the binding, Chen Hong hesitated and prepared to climb up the elevated structure.
As he climbed, the surrounding eyes couldn't help but focus on him.
After all, his identity is different from these craftsmen and the guards beside him. He is the eunuch of the ceremonial department and the eunuch of the East Factory. His status in the palace is also very high, second only to Huang Jin.
But even a eunuch with such a high status now has to climb up the elevated structure to test the safety of the safety rope like the craftsmen and guards just did. This is really eye-opening and something that has never been seen before.
While Chen Hong crawled tremblingly, he tried hard to control the fear in his heart. As he climbed, his heart kept greeting the hateful person who invented the safety rope.
He really couldn't figure out which bastard made such a thing for Emperor Jiajing. Isn't this simply killing people?
Chen Hong cursed in his heart, and finally climbed to the highest point in panic. He carefully followed the previous craftsman's instructions and fastened a safety buckle to a strong wooden stake, then looked back down.
As a result, it didn't seem to be a big deal. When I saw that my legs were weak, my brain became sluggish. I felt dizzy for a while and suddenly lost my footing.
"Ah——"
Chen Hong's scream was thrilling and heartbreaking, just like a fat pig about to be cooked in the twelfth lunar month!
When Emperor Jiajing heard Chen Hong's scream, he immediately showed a displeased look, "What's your name? Did I throw you to death?"
But Chen Hong, who was at a high place, didn't hear Emperor Jiajing's voice at all. After shouting for a while, he finally came to his senses. He was not thrown down, and was still hanging steadily in the air, and he could reach out with his hand. Grab the wooden frame next to you and continue to stabilize your body.
At this time, Chen Hong didn't have any hesitation or hesitation. He immediately grabbed the wooden stake beside him, hugged himself tightly to the wooden frame, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Hong excitedly shouted to the Emperor Jiajing below: "Bless me, I am fine. This safety rope is so safe!"
Emperor Jiajing listened to Chen Hong's voice below and replied with a look of disgust: "Come down quickly, what did the ghost scream just now? Those who don't know think that my palace is going to kill pigs in advance to celebrate the New Year."
Chen Hong apologized with an embarrassed look, then trembled his legs and carefully climbed down from the top.
The feeling of climbing down is really more thrilling than the feeling of climbing up.
Every time he looked at it, it seemed as if he was about to fall through the air.
This shows that Chen Hong is also afraid of heights.
When he finally came down safely from above and the soles of his feet finally touched the ground, Chen Hong suddenly felt like he was surviving a disaster. It was better to keep his feet on the ground.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Chen Hong like this, "Look at your potential? What big things can you do in the future? Why don't you just climb higher? Are your legs shaking?"
Chen Hong was reprimanded by Emperor Jiajing, and he quickly apologized and gave himself a slap in the face, "My slave is guilty, the emperor forgives me."
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, if you want to fan yourself, just go to the side and don't hinder me from doing my business."
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing took the initiative to pick up the safety rope and prepare to put it on himself. His action frightened Huang Jin, Chen Hong who was standing aside, as well as the craftsmen and guards.
If others try it, they just try it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be fine anyway. At most, they will just fall to death and kill a useless ordinary person.
But if Emperor Jiajing goes up, if something goes wrong, it will be no joke.
Huang Jin quickly stopped him and said: "The emperor can't!"
Others on the side also knelt on the ground in excitement, "Your Majesty, no!"
Emperor Jiajing looked at these people and snorted, "Do you think I'm scaring you? I'm a god, and I have the protection of the gods of heaven and earth. What else can I do? Open it, please open it for me, don't get in the way!"
Emperor Jiajing insisted on going his own way and ignored Huang Jin and others' attempts to stop him.
He had already concluded the reliability of the safety rope at this moment, so he had to try it himself no matter what, and then go to the Wanshou Palace to take a look at it in person.
Otherwise, his heart would not be at peace.
So it would be difficult for anyone to stop him at this time.
Emperor Jiajing ignored everyone's obstruction, and finally tied the safety rope and climbed up amidst everyone's panic and trembling. However, unlike everyone else, Emperor Jiajing did not let go of his hands to test himself after climbing up. , he just made sure that this safety rope allowed him to climb to a higher place with more security.
When Emperor Jiajing came down again, he looked at Huang Jin and others who were still panic-stricken in their eyes, and said with a proud smile: "How's it going? I said it's okay, look at it, I scared you. But the emperor! Just one more point! If you are closer to the sky, God will naturally protect me. What are you worried about? Are you hoping that something will happen to me?" Huang Jin and others were frightened, and they quickly knelt down and said, "Slave. ) Dare not!”
Emperor Jiajing chuckled and said: "You don't even dare to measure you, just get up."
Then Emperor Jiajing did not waste any time and said directly to Huang Jin: "Take the safety rope and follow me to the Longevity Palace."
Huang Jin quickly moved and followed Emperor Jiajing with the safety rope in his arms. Chen Hong also followed immediately.
But when Emperor Jiajing saw Chen Hong following him, he stopped and asked, "Why are you following? Have you finished handling the affairs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
Chen Hong stopped immediately and replied quickly: "I will go back now."
Emperor Jiajing hummed, and then added: "Go to Prince Yu's Mansion, tell San'er that the safety rope is very useful, and ask him to push this thing to the Ministry of Industry, so that the Ministry of Industry can make more of it in the future for better use. On top of safety.”
Chen Hong replied yes, but then he froze on the spot, looking at Emperor Jiajing in disbelief, and asked: "Is this a masterpiece by Prince Yu?"
Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "Is it yours? Go quickly!"
After saying that, Emperor Jiajing took Huang Jin and others towards the Wanshou Palace without looking back.
Chen Hong calmed down, took a deep breath, and slapped himself quietly again, but this slap hit his own mouth, "What a bad mouth! How can you slander your master?"
< br>
Although Chen Hong now wholeheartedly wants to stand out with Emperor Jiajing, he also knows whose slave he was once, and he knows who he will rely on in the future.
So at this moment, Chen Hong really regretted why his mouth was so mean?
If one day I really say something I shouldn't have said without restraint, wouldn't it be a disaster?
Chen Hong immediately walked quickly outside Xiyuan Palace and towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
After arriving at Prince Yu's Mansion, Chen Hong was not blocked by anything and smoothly met Zhu Zaijing who was reading Xianshu.
When Zhu Zaijing saw that it was Chen Honglai, he was also surprised, "How come you have time to come to this king? Doesn't his majesty want you to serve him?"
Chen Hong said respectfully: "To tell you what the prince is saying, I came to visit the prince according to the emperor's order."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said: "You guys are really diligent today. It was Huang Jin who came here in the morning, and now it's you again. Tell me, what are your orders?"
Chen Hongdao: "His Majesty said that the safety rope donated by the prince is excellent. He wants the prince to inform the Ministry of Industry and match it with it."
Zhu Zaijing made a sound and said to Chen Hong: "Okay, I know this. From now on, you will serve His Majesty well, you know? Learn more from Huang Jin, and you will not be indebted to this."
Zhu Zaijing also knew Chen Hong's loyalty and his thoughts. In addition to working hard to get ahead, people like him were also very reliable in their loyalty.
He is just a little irritable and can be ruthless in doing things, but he can also easily give people excuses, which can easily offend others.
Moreover, Zhu Zaijing is also thinking about his future. In the future, he will also need a sharp knife like Chen Hong to do things. Wouldn't it be a pity if he fell into the hands of Emperor Jiajing now.
So Zhu Zaijing also made an exception and said a few more words to him, which could be regarded as a kind reminder to him based on the original friendship between master and servant.
When Chen Hong heard Zhu Zaijing's reminder, he didn't understand what it meant yet, but he also knew that this was what the prince expected of him.
Chen Hong replied: "I have written it down."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "Go back early, don't keep your Majesty waiting."
After sending Chen Hong away, Zhu Zaijing called Meng Chong again.
Meng Chong entered Zhu Zaijing's room. Zhu Zaijing looked at Meng Chong again and said, "Are you envious of Chen Hong? Now he is not only the eunuch of the Secretary of Ceremonies, but also the eunuch of the East Factory, second only to your ancestors. Mr. Huang Jin.”
Meng Chong felt sour in his heart when he heard this. He would be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
However, his identity is different from Chen Hong. Chen Hong was assigned to Prince Yu's Mansion for two years and was not considered an old man who was basically in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Therefore, in terms of closeness and distance, even if Chen Hong is at the top of his game, he will not be able to gain 100% free trust from Zhu Zaijing at some point in the future.
Therefore, Meng Chong was envious, but he also knew very well that if one day, he would be Huang Jin's second best, and he could stay close to Zhu Zaijing to gain the greatest trust, and become one of the 100,000 palace maids in the Forbidden City in the future. The ancestor of the eunuchs.
Meng Chong replied: "I don't envy you to be by your side!"
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said, "If you don't envy me, don't envy me. Go and send someone to call Zhao Wenhua, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and say that I summoned him on His Majesty's order."
Meng Chong responded and immediately went to handle the matter.
At this time, Zhu Zaijing also put aside the idle book in his hand and began to think seriously. He really should meet Zhao Wenhua to see how serious he was about changing his family.
After all, Zhu Zaijing was also waiting for his vote during this period, but he has been silent until now, which also made Zhu Zaijing a little curious about what move he was planning to make.
Zhao Wenhua, who was restless in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, had been suffering from insomnia for several days. During this period, he had been waiting for the results, but there was no movement either from Xu Jie or Xiyuan. This made Zhao Wenhua feel uncomfortable. He was on tenterhooks as to whether something unexpected happened to the memorial and ended up in Yan Shifan's hands.
If it were in the hands of Yan Shifan, this problem would be serious.
Judging from Yan Shifan's attitude towards him during this period, even if he did not do this, Yan Shifan would blame it on him, and this is an unreasonable disaster for Zhao Wenhua.
Therefore, Zhao Wenhua is really panicked now. He is so panicked that this matter fell into Yan Shifan's hands, causing Yan Shifan to plot revenge against him.
But at this time, someone came from Prince Yu's Mansion. The person who came said that he wanted to invite Zhao Wenhua to Prince Yu's Mansion. Prince Yu had an order from His Majesty.
As soon as Zhao Wenhua heard that he was going to Prince Yu's Mansion and that it was his Majesty's request, he immediately got excited and quickly got up and followed the person who came to deliver the message and hurried towards Prince Yu's Mansion.
This was also the first time that Zhao Wenhua went to Prince Yu's Mansion in so many years, and he couldn't help but feel a little more excited.
