Prince of Chaos

Chapter 76

The lively atmosphere of the bonfire party did not gradually dissipate until late at night.

Empress Dowager Li was very excited. She had never experienced the beauty of nightlife like this.

Emperor Wanli was also very excited, imagining how happy he would be if he could hold such a bonfire party every day in the future.

After the bonfire party, Zhu Changluo sent Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli to sleep.After a day of tossing, Zhu Changluo's small body couldn't hold it anymore.

Early the next morning, as a filial son and grandson, Zhu Changluo got up early to greet Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli.

After a night, Emperor Wanli's excitement hadn't dissipated. Now he looked at every plant and tree in the Xishan Huangzhuang, and he liked it very much.

Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Li will not let Emperor Wanli stay here forever.

Early in the morning, Empress Dowager Li gave a lecture to Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo.

Empress Dowager Li said to Emperor Wanli: "The emperor still puts his family and country first, and he is greedy for comfort and pleasure. This is not what a virtuous monarch does. You should return to the palace earlier and handle the government affairs of the court. This is the blessing of the country."

As soon as Emperor Wanli heard what Queen Mother Li said, his happy mood was hit violently.

Zhu Changluo hurriedly said from the side: "Grandmother, my grandson thinks that my father is not greedy for pleasure. Like the bonfire party last night, my grandson thinks that to a greater extent, my grandmother and my father are having fun with the people. After this, the emperor The people in the village praised the love of the emperor's grandmother and the holiness of the emperor's father. These are the voices of the people's hearts. The grandson thinks there is nothing wrong with it. He even thinks that the emperor's grandmother and the emperor should participate more in the future. This kind of activity allows the common people to feel more intuitively the emperor's benevolent and sage style!"

Emperor Wanli heard what Zhu Changluo said, and said again and again: "Mother, Chang Luo is right. This is what I think. I just want to have fun with the people, understand the needs of the people, and the urgency of the people."

Empress Dowager Li said: "The Ai family knows. However, the government cannot be delayed. The emperor will go back today."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Queen Mother Li still asked him to go back, he could only look at Zhu Changluo, and wanted Zhu Changluo to say a few more good words to persuade Queen Mother Li.

However, Zhu Changluo has nothing good to say, the phone call just now has already racked his brains.

Facing Emperor Wanli's eyes asking for help, Zhu Changluo could only bite the bullet and say, "Grandmother, it's freezing cold now, so please let Emperor Father stay by your side for two days."

Emperor Wanli nodded quickly and said: "Let my son accompany you for two days, and be filial by your side."

But Empress Dowager Li said: "What's so cold here? Isn't this conservatory very nice? The ground is warm, and Ai's house is comfortable. Don't bother the emperor to worry about me, an old lady. Go back to the palace early."

Zhu Changluo looked at the Queen Mother Li who didn't look old at all, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Is this called an old lady?Then, he also looked helplessly at Emperor Wanli.The meaning seems to say: "Father, I have said everything I can say, but the emperor's grandmother didn't keep you. It can't be my fault."

Emperor Wanli seemed to have received Zhu Changluo's signal, so he could only accept his fate and said, "I will always remember my mother's teachings."

Then, Emperor Wanli got up and drove back to the palace with reluctance.Zhu Changluo also returned with Emperor Wanli.

According to what Empress Dowager Li said, the emperor went back so that the government would not be neglected, and you went back so that the studies would not be neglected.

As a result, both father and son were sent away by Queen Mother Li.

She was the only one left in Xishan Huangzhuang to live here, anyway, Empress Dowager Li was used to living alone, so she didn't even think about going back to the Palace of Compassion.

Sitting on the rickety carriage, Emperor Wanli and Zhu Changluo and his son stared at each other with big eyes. Emperor Wanli couldn't help but sigh, "When can I come again?"

Zhu Changluo immediately came up with a good idea: "Father, you can come at any time. The emperor's grandmother lives in Xishan Huangzhuang now, so Father can come in the name of asking for peace."

Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up, "That's right. I can come to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

But then, Emperor Wanli's eyes darkened and he said: "Xishan Huangzhuang is too far away from the Forbidden City, and it took half a day to come here. I guess I will be driven away by your grandmother when I just arrived at Xishan Huangzhuang without sitting on my butt. of."

Zhu Changluo thought about it, and it was indeed possible.Although Empress Dowager Li doesn't care about political affairs, she still has strict requirements on Emperor Wanli, for fear that Emperor Wanli will slack off government affairs and delay state affairs.

But in fact, Emperor Wanli had hardly been in court for more than half a year, and Empress Dowager Li also turned a blind eye to this, because from Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Jiajing to his husband Emperor Longqing, almost all of them were models of not going to court.As long as the Emperor Wanli still handles the government affairs, the Empress Dowager Li has long been used to the emperor not going to the court to handle political affairs anyway.

Zhu Changluo thought about Emperor Wanli's troubles, and he said, "Father, my son plans to build a road from Xishan Huangzhuang to the imperial palace."

Emperor Wanli said absent-mindedly: "Why build the road? Isn't this road good?"

Zhu Changluo said: "No, no, what I mean is to build a smooth expressway. Isn't the Xishan Coal Mine selling briquettes all the time? I also let them recycle the waste coal at the price of a penny. Although the waste coal has been burned Yes, but it is also a good thing. Erchen plans to use this waste coal as a material, then add limestone and other building materials to make composite soil, and then pave it all the way to the palace. This kind of road is flat and firm, and it will not be muddy and slippery even in rainy days , and the speed of the carriage running on it will be greatly accelerated, and when the time comes, the father will arrive from the palace to the Xishan Huangzhuang in less than an hour if it is fast."

When Emperor Wanli heard Zhu Changluo's plan, he immediately said, "That's a good idea. When will this road be repaired?"

Zhu Changluo looked at the expectant eyes of Emperor Wanli, and he said with a little embarrassment: "The ratio of the three-component clay is still in the experiment. When the optimal ratio is found, the construction will start."

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he was still experimenting.Immediately discouraged, he said, "Hurry up."

Zhu Changluo said: "I obey the order. They have tested many times. I believe that the best compound soil formula will be found within half a month at the earliest. At that time, I will immediately arrange people to pave and repair the road, and strive to pave the expressway as soon as possible. come out."

When Emperor Wanli heard it so fast, he suddenly had hope again.

Now Emperor Wanli looks at Zhu Changluo's son, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes him. He is always thinking about him, and he doesn't fight for anything, and he doesn't grab anything. He will think of him as soon as he has benefits. He is really a caring and good son. ah.

"By the way, what is the current turnover of Xishan Coal Mine?"

Zhu Changluo never expected that Emperor Wanli would suddenly change the topic to Xishan Coal Mine.

Out of caution, Zhu Changluo said weakly: "It seems to have earned another 8 to [-] taels."

Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard the 8 taels, as if the 8 taels belonged to him.

Emperor Wanli said with emotion: "This Xishan Coal Mine really makes money."

Zhu Changluo said: "Just earn more this winter, and when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, there won't be such a big need."

Emperor Wanli said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can make money."

Zhu Changluo said: "What the father said is true. After a while, the ministers let Wang An and the others calculate the profit and loss, and then send the silver to the internal treasury, and let the father save it for the sons and daughters."

Emperor Wanli bared his teeth and smiled: "He is really a good son. Father will save this money for you."
