Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 268 Railroad tracks, six dead heads
In the evening, Song Yingxing arranged a grand welcome banquet.The courtiers and generals who followed the emperor gathered together, drank and listened to plays, and were very lively and happy.

After Li Cunming drank a few glasses of wine and filled his stomach, he stood up and wanted to leave.

Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, don't you want to have a few more drinks? Is it because I didn't entertain you well?"

"It's nothing. I have a housekeeper beside me who doesn't let me drink too much. She is afraid that I will have sex after drinking, so I can't drink too much." Li Cunming looked at Chen Yuanyuan and smiled.

Chen Yuanyuan remembered that night on Treasure Island, when His Majesty was drunk and kissed her, she couldn't help but blush, curled her lips and turned to look at the stage.

Li Cunming greeted Song Yingxing and said: "Actually, I still have something important to tell you. You can follow me to the study. Let's go, let's not leave. The soldiers are too reserved to let go and have fun."

"Your Majesty always thinks about the soldiers, which makes me very touched." Song Yingxing said with a smile.

Gong Yonggu and Xia Wanchun also got up and followed them. When they arrived at the study, Gong Yonggu and his royal guards guarded them closely, while Xia Wanchun entered the study to wait on them.

Sitting down, drinking a cup of hot tea, Li Cunming said: "Song Aiqing, after you develop the crucible steelmaking method, my Ming Dynasty's steelmaking technology will be greatly improved. It's a pity that I have left Nanjing since the Southern Expedition. It's been too long, I have to rush back as soon as possible, and I can't see with my own eyes that you're done."

Song Yingxing said: "On the day the minister completes his great achievements, he will immediately report the good news to His Majesty!"

Li Cunming nodded, took out some manuscript paper from his sleeve, handed it to Song Yingxing, and said: "The things I drew on the manuscript paper are called railway tracks, just take a look."

Song Yingxing looked at it carefully and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the use of the rails?"

"It's very useful, but the time is not right now, so I can't explain it in detail for the time being. I have an idea. It may be more convenient for the workers to use special trolleys to transport coal to the wellhead by laying rails in the mine."

The steam engine has not been invented yet, so it is impossible to talk about making trains.But let Song Yingxing develop the rails first to be prepared, and using the rails to transport the coal in the mine can solve a big problem and kill two birds with one stone.

Li Cunming said: "The rails shouldn't be difficult to forge. Song Aiqing is a smart person, so she must be able to figure it out. The key is the special handcart. Its wheels must be made of iron, and they must fit together with the rails. You need to think about it. "

Song Yingxing said with emotion: "Your Majesty is really a god who descended to earth, omniscient and omniscient, and I admire you so much!"

"If the gods come down to earth, it is enough to tell the common people. In front of Song Aiqing, I can only be regarded as a daydreamer. Although I have many ideas in my mind, if there is no Song Aiqing and Bi Dengfu. It’s impossible to implement ideas.”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two beautiful court ladies walked in from outside the room.

Li Cunming said: "Come on, I have met Mr. Song."

After the two maids saluted, Li Cunming smiled and said, "Song Aiqing, these two maids are not bad, they are considerate and thoughtful, I will give them to you."

Song Yingxing hurriedly knelt down and said, "How can I have such a blessing, I dare not accept it!"

The court ladies are actually the emperor's women, and the emperor can be lucky at any time.In ancient times, the most important thing was the difference between the emperor and his ministers. It was a great honor for the ministers to be rewarded by the emperor with a court lady.

Li Cunming pulled Song Yingxing up, held his hand and said, "I see no one around you to take care of your daily necessities. How can this be possible? Song Aiqing, you are my national treasure of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how much I favor you, I will never overdo it." ! Not only will I send you off as a court lady, but I will also send a team of brocade guards to act as your personal guards to protect your personal safety."

"Your Majesty, I... I have to meet the Lord Ming, and I will have no regrets in this life!" Song Yingxing cried.

"Ding, get Song Yingxing's positive emotion value of 10000"

"Go ahead and send Lord Song to bed." Li Cunming said to the two maids.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Luan drove away from Foshan and headed north.

Song Yingxing kept sending her away for more than 30 miles, reluctant to leave.He stood in the cold wind, watching Luan Jia go away, with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are really destined to be a man!" Black Mudan said.

Chen Yuanyuan echoed, "That's right, Song Yingxing bid farewell to His Majesty, just like a daughter-in-law bid farewell to her husband. Back then in Yunnan, Li Dingguo shared the same bed with His Majesty, tsk tsk..."

"As soon as you open your mouth, you are an old hermaphrodite!" Li Cunming stared at Chen Yuanyuan, then put his arms around Hei Mudan and said, "When did you two start wearing a pair of pants?"

Chen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes when she saw Hei Mudan crooked in Li Cunming's arms, climbed out of the carriage and jumped off.

"I'm jealous again!" Black Peony giggled, very proud.

All the way north, the team never stopped in any city, and the marching speed was very fast.

Li Cunming was going to Hangzhou to inspect the Hangzhou Textile Factory.The Hangzhou Textile Factory was newly established by Cao Huachun with painstaking efforts. It is one of the largest in the country and represents the most advanced textile technology of the Ming Dynasty.

Yao Qisheng, Du Chen, Zheng Youcai and others have already received the order to go to Hangzhou to welcome them.Earlier, when Zheng Chenggong's fleet went north, it had already sent Liu Rushi's coffin to Jiaxing, and Li Cunming had to go to Jiaxing to pay homage to Liu Rushi and make some political articles.

In early March, when Li Cunming arrived in Hangzhou, the team drove into the city mightily.People and officials in the city lined the streets to welcome, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers to celebrate the triumphant return of the southern expedition army.

Li Cunming saw that a wide cement road had been built outside Hangzhou. When he heard from the Hangzhou prefect that the cement road leads all the way to Nanjing, he was very happy and said with a smile: "With the cement road, I can race!"

Unexpectedly, Gong Yonggu flew over in a hurry and poured cold water on Li Cunming.It turned out that the Holy Fire Sect sent a secret letter, which stated how Wang Yi and the other three assassinated Zhu Cihong.

Li Cunming read the secret letter, the smile on his face froze for a moment, his mood was mixed, sadness and joy mixed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the subjects are still waiting for you to enter the city!" Seeing the emperor stunned, Xia Wanchun reminded loudly.

Li Cunming waved his hand heavily, signaling for himself to be quiet.He got off the Luanjia, beckoned Gong Yonggu to a secluded place, and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

"Zhu Cihong is dead!" Li Cunming said.

Gong Yonggu opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a while.He naturally understood what happened, but how should he comfort the emperor?
"Your Majesty, this is the fate of the former Crown Prince!" Gong Yonggu could only think of such a sentence.

"Yeah, it's all fate!" Li Cunming sighed, and said, "There is no way out, Zhu Cihong probably hated me when he died, if there is still a chance, I will pay him back in my next life. Gong Yonggu, destroy everything related to Zhu Cihong There is no need to publicize his death, lest the empress be sad."

After finishing speaking, he handed the secret letter to Gong Yonggu, then straightened up and strode away, regaining the majesty and majesty of the emperor in a blink of an eye.

But Gong Yonggu cried, and secretly called out: "Your Majesty, your life is too hard and heavy!"

……

Yao Qisheng and others were ingenious and greeted them at West Lake.Li Cunming boarded a boat decorated with lanterns and festoons, and said with a smile, "Let's get back on your feet and come with me to visit the West Lake."

The crowd followed the emperor onto the boat, and Li Cunming realized that Cao Huachun was not there, and asked, "Where is Cao Huachun, why didn't you come to greet him?"

The officials bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they had something to hide.Yao Qisheng said: "Your Majesty, something suddenly happened at the Hangzhou Textile Factory. Factory Director Cao went to deal with it, so he was unable to come to greet you."

"What happened, so urgent?" Li Cunming frowned.

"It's not a big deal, Your Majesty, don't worry." The Hangzhou magistrate hurriedly interjected and ordered, "Sail the boat and play music!"

Amidst the music, the boats sailed in the West Lake, as if they were swimming in the middle of a painting.Looking at the beautiful scenery, Li Cunming was full of interest, so he didn't care about the Hangzhou Textile Factory for the time being.

Li Cunming patted the railing and said with a smile: "The West Lake is beautiful in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke. Well, fortunately, these beautiful mountains and rivers did not fall into the hands of the Tartars, otherwise they would be ruined!"

He turned his head and said to Yao Qisheng and others: "You have read a lot of poems and books, why don't you compose poems to cheer you up? Chen Yuanyuan, how about you composing a poem too?"

Touring landscapes and writing poems and fus have always been the forte of literati and poets.In order to show their talents in front of the emperor, everyone racked their brains and pondered for a long time.

At this moment, the soldiers punting the boat suddenly made noise, and the boat shook a little.

"There's something in the water, it's a dead head!" Someone shouted in horror.

Li Cunming said: "What's going on? Gong Yonggu, go and have a look."

Not long after, Gong Yonggu came back and said, "Your Majesty, six dead heads suddenly appeared in the water. The soldiers were frightened, and I have already stabilized them. But for the sake of safety, I ask your Majesty to go ashore."

Li Cunming looked at the prefect of Hangzhou and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

The prefect of Hangzhou did not speak, which was very embarrassing.

Zheng Youcai trembled and muttered: "Dead heads, six dead heads again, is it really God's anger and people's resentment?"

"Huh?" Li Cunming heard Zheng Youcai's muttering and turned around and shouted, "What's going on? Tell me the truth!"

With an angry shout, everyone in the boat knelt down.

Zheng Youcai turned pale and said, "Your Majesty, something happened at the Hangzhou Textile Factory and many people died!"
