Chapter 466 Steam Rail Car
Western Hills.
When everyone thought that Zhu Zaijing was confined to the palace to think about his thoughts, Zhu Zaijing had already come to Xishan to relax with his child and his lovely wife and concubine.
Sitting in Lai Qingxuan, Zhu Zaijing teased his eldest son Xiao Kunkun and second son Zhu Yijun. The princess and Mrs. Chen were also sitting and watching, with happy and sweet smiles on their faces. , I like the current time very much.
Zhu Zaijing pinched Zhu Yijun's little face and said, "Son, would you like to see what dad gave this pavilion?"
Zhu Yijun's face was pinched by Zhu Zaijing, and he proudly asked him if the name Lai Qingxuan sounded good to him.
The princess and Mrs. Chen watched Zhu Zaijing teasing Zhu Yijun like this, and they couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, he is still a child, how can he know the deep meaning of these two words of yours."
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. This is a matter between our father and son."
Zhu Yijun looked up at the name of the pavilion mentioned by Zhu Zaijing. When he saw the "Laiqing" plaque hanging on the pavilion, he couldn't help but tilt his little head with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand or understand. What does this mean.
Seeing this, Zhu Zaijing smiled and asked: "If you were asked to name this pavilion, what would you choose?"
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then showed a cute thinking look. Zhu Yiyi on the side also laughed when he saw this, "Idiot brother, dad is asking you, how do you name the pavilion."
Zhu Yijun looked back at Zhu Yiyi and said, "Don't argue, let me think."
Zhu Yijun tilted his head and thought for a long time, then glanced at Zhu Zaijing, then looked back at the princess and Chen, hoping to get some help from them, but the princess and Chen just looked at him without saying a word.
This made Zhu Yijun very troubled, but in the end he pretended to be smart and said: "If I were asked to choose a name, I would choose 'Qing Lai'!"
Listening to Zhu Yijun's milky reply, Zhu Zaijing laughed, "Okay, okay, no regrets, then we'll call it 'Qing Lai'. But this pavilion is still called 'Lai Qing'."
Zhu Zaijing teased the story of Zhu Yijun coming to Qingxuan, and he was in a great mood.
You must know that in the original history, this pavilion was built based on the word "Laiqing" written by Emperor Wanli here, and was later "plagiarized" by Zhu Zaijing.
Now that Zhu Zaijing has brought the "rightful owner" to this pavilion again, he must be teasing Zhu Yijun.
Just after Zhu Zaijing finished teasing Zhu Yijun, Mrs. Chen also placed the tea sets and cakes she brought on the stone table in the pavilion.
Zhu Zaijing drank a cup of tea that Mrs. Chen had just brought over, and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and gave it to brothers Zhu Yiyi and Zhu Yijun respectively. Then he asked the accompanying young eunuchs to take them to play. He and Mrs. Wang , Mr. Chen enjoys the scenery of Xishan Mountain here together.
Zhu Zaijing said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Xishan Workshop. You guys have a good rest at the manor here, and remember to take your medicine on time."
Zhu Zaijing did not forget to give the princess a last word. When the princess heard Zhu Zaijing's concern, she felt sweet in her heart. She replied: "I know it."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Mrs. Chen again, "The princess is not in good health. When you are around, you must pay more attention to these two naughty children and don't let them climb up and down."
< br>
Mrs. Chen also replied: "I will be optimistic about Kunkun and the others."
But then the princess also asked worriedly, "Your Majesty asked the prince to think about his mistakes in the palace. Will it displease His Majesty if we secretly come to Xishan?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I know this well. Now that we are out, let's relax, just have a good rest and have fun, and don't think about those messy things. So, you don't have to worry about what will happen to this matter. Consequences, if there are real consequences, we will go out with the front foot, and the imperial edict will arrive with the back foot.”
The princess and Mrs. Chen listened to Zhu Zaijing's words and thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was true.
Since there is no imperial edict to reprimand them for sneaking out of the palace, this may also indicate that in Emperor Jiajing's heart, he did not really mean to blame Zhu Zaijing.
Otherwise, I really might not be able to leave the house, let alone go to Xishan to enjoy the sights.
So at this moment, the worries in the hearts of the princess and Chen suddenly disappeared.
Zhu Zaijing stayed with them and talked for a while, calming down their nervousness during this period of time in the palace, and then got up and went to find his two sons to play.
When Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen looked at Zhu Zaijing, who loved children so much, they both had happy smiles on their faces.
At this time, Ms. Wang also looked at Ms. Chen and said, "Sister, I know my physical condition well. I will ask you to take good care of Xiao Kunkun from now on."
When Mrs. Chen suddenly heard what the princess said, she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, and immediately said nervously: "What's wrong, sister? Don't scare me."
The princess showed a slight smile of contentment, "Mr. Li and Mr. Wan told me that this is a disease I have had since I was a child. As I get older, it will become more and more serious, and there is no cure now. I was cured by this method. If the prince hadn’t comforted me all the time, I might have died a long time ago.”
"Now that the prince likes Kunkun so much, I can feel relieved, so I will leave it to my sister in the future. I hope my sister can regard Kunkun as her own."
The princess's words also made Mrs. Chen feel uncomfortable. Although she was a side concubine, she had also been depressed about why she was not the main concubine, but after so many years, Mrs. Chen's heart had long been accustomed to her. current identity.
And she is also aware of her own problem. She has never been able to give birth to a son and a half for Zhu Zaijing, so she actually feels guilty in her heart. Every time she sees her husband, he is still so kind to her and allows her to do so. Helping the princess handle the chores in the palace, people with a discerning eye can also see that Zhu Zaijing intends to make her the royal concubine one day in the future.
Therefore, after hearing what the princess said, Mrs. Chen actually felt quite uncomfortable. What she wanted was not the false reputation of the princess, but a status that could stay with Zhu Zaijing for a long time.
Mrs. Chen replied: "Sister, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Doctor Li and Mr. Wan have superb medical skills and have invented many new medicines and new medical methods. As long as sister listens to the prince, relaxes her body and mind, and slowly regulates her body, in the future, There is definitely no problem.”
The princess shook her head gently and said: "Thank you sister, I have looked away for a long time. It is a blessing from God to meet the prince in this life and to have my sister serve the prince together. I will not be greedy anymore. Now I just want to take a good look at Kunkun and the other children during this period, and that’s enough for me.”
Zhu Zaijing was teasing Xiao Kunkun and Zhu Yijun from a distance, but he was also paying attention to the princess and Chen. When he heard the conversation between the two, he could only sigh slightly in his heart, maybe this is his fate.
On the second day, Zhu Zaijing, who had calmed down, left the princess, Chen, Xiao Kunkun and Zhu Yijun in the royal manor in Xishan. He took a few guards and rode a few fast horses to Xishan Work. This side of the square.
When Teng Xiang heard that Zhu Zaijing was coming, he quickly came out from the house of the eunuch guarding Xishan to greet him.
When Teng Xiang really saw Zhu Zaijing, he knelt down on the ground in excitement, "Slave, please see the prince!" Zhu Zaijing turned over and got off the horse, "Get up, don't be so nervous, I'm just here to take a look."
Teng Xiang carefully accompanied Zhu Zaijing. He had naturally heard about Zhu Zaijing's scolding by Emperor Jiajing in Xishan, but he never expected that Zhu Zaijing would show up at this time. Appeared in Xishan.
Teng Xiang asked carefully: "Your Majesty, has the emperor lifted your ban?"
Zhu Zaijing said: "No."
Teng Xiang was frightened when he heard what Zhu Zaijing said, "Then how could the prince come out? What would happen if the emperor knew about this?"
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "What's the big deal? Your Majesty asked me, Du Men, to think about my mistakes. In fact, you just want me to take a break. I am now walking around Xishan, but I also want to experience your Majesty's Sacred Heart."
Teng Xiang was almost frightened to tears by Zhu Zaijing's words. If this matter were serious, it would be a serious crime of resisting the emperor's decree and deceiving the emperor.
Although Zhu Zaijing, a nobleman of Tianhuang, would not be affected by anything, the same could not be said for slaves like them.
So Teng Xiang was really scared to cry now, "Your Majesty, you can't understand the emperor's meaning like this. I'd like to advise you to go back early. Otherwise, if the emperor finds out about this, it will be terrible." .”
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? I have been out for three or four days, and Your Majesty has not asked anyone to come to me. Doesn't this already explain the situation? I have already experienced the Sacred Heart. It is not too late for Your Majesty to be happy now." .”
After Zhu Zaijing said these words, Teng Xiang felt a lot more at ease. It had been three or four days, so it was indeed a long time. That should be what he meant.
However, as a slave, Teng Xiang should still be cautious.
Teng Xiang said: "Perhaps the emperor turned a blind eye and didn't want to argue with you, the prince, so he had better listen to the slave's advice. When the prince is done playing, he should go back early to avoid others knowing about your coming out. In this way, If the emperor gets angry again, won’t you be punished again?”
Zhu Zaijing looked back at Teng Xiang, his mother-in-law, and he was a little annoyed. He said: "You don't have to educate me on how to do this. This time, I came here because I heard that Zhanwat had come up with a more interesting steam engine, which can be used again." The driving machine runs on the rails. I want to see what his new invention is like."
Teng Xiang couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard that Zhu Zaijing was coming to see Zhan Watt's new invention. He was afraid that Zhu Zaijing would insist on ordering him to go to the Xishan Artifact Camp.
It would be really bad if Zhu Zaijing arrived at the Xishan Artifact Camp and directly came down to summon the whole camp to go to the capital for a tour.
Therefore, Teng Xiang was very scared.
Now that he heard that Zhu Zaijing was going to the steam workshop, he couldn't help but calm down.
Teng Xiang said: "I will make arrangements now."
Zhu Zaijing looked at Teng Xiang who was so diligent and said: "No, let's ride over now."
Teng Xiang couldn't resist Zhu Zaijing's intention, so he quickly asked someone to bring a horse over, and followed Zhu Zaijing to the steam workshop.
The current Xishan Steam Workshop occupies an increasingly larger area and is directly adjacent to the Xishan Coal Field. The purpose is to save coal for steam engine manufacturing and testing.
For this reason, under the auspices of Teng Xiang, he also asked people to use cement and stones to connect the various workshops in Xishan, including the Shenyao Palace. It can be said that the current Xishan Industrial Zone should be except for the southern district of the Jingshi Special Zone and Shunyi. The third place outside the industrial park to achieve road hardening.
It's just that this is a purely industrial area, and there are not many people coming and going here. Moreover, this is also a forbidden area of the Divine Medicine Palace, so ordinary people don't need to get close.
Therefore, no one has paid attention to the development of Xishan Industrial Zone, and no one knows that there is an industrial zone hidden in Xishan that is not inferior to Shunyi Industrial Park.
Zhu Zaijing and Teng Xiang rode all the way into the steam workshop. When the managers in the workshop saw Zhu Zaijing and Teng Xiang appearing together, they all hurriedly came out to greet them.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Zhanwat who hurried over with a black face and said with a smile: "Why didn't you wash your face?"
Zhanwat smiled shyly, "Caomin... I was assembling a new steam engine for testing, so I didn't come to remember."
Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "That's just right. I also want to see how your new steam engine is. Some time ago, I heard from Teng Xiang that you made a section of railway track to test the steam train that I told you before. I’m curious, so let’s take a look at your new invention now.”
Zhanwat was immediately excited when he heard that Zhu Zaijing wanted to see the steam rail car he had made. He was able to make such a magical steam car because of Zhu Zaijing's suggestion, otherwise he would not have made it. His thoughts shifted from the simple transmission of steam engine power to the use of this steam power to build rail cars.
Zhanwat said excitedly: "These are all the work of the prince, and I was created according to the prince's wishes."
Zhu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. What I told you is just an idea to open your mouth. And you can turn this idea into reality. This is a great ability. If you really let me know later, When I see that the steam rail car you built can move, I will still be rewarded heavily!”
Zhan Watt and others excitedly took Zhu Zaijing and Teng Xiang to the innermost test area of the steam workshop.
After arriving here, Zhu Zaijing saw an iron lump that looked similar but was different from his memory and impression.
Zhu Zaijing watched it lying quietly on the paved railway track. There was a large smoking chimney above its head, and the wheels below were made of thick iron.
Zhu Zaijing held back his excitement and asked: "Is this the steam rail car you built?"
Zhanwat gave a heavy hum, "It is the result of the hard work of the minister and many craftsmen. Since the prince's instructions, we have also expanded the use of lubricants, and also found other skilled craftsmen who are good at mechanism manufacturing, and let them create A set of linked wheels that can be connected to the power of steam was created.”
After Zhu Zaijing heard what Zhan Watt said, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. These people were so fierce. They actually built a steam train with their hands.
Otherwise, seeing it with his own eyes now, Zhu Zaijing would feel like he was dreaming.
At this moment, Zhu Zaijing's voice was trembling slightly. He suppressed his excitement and said: "You start this steam rail car. I have to be confident and see if it can move!"
