Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 895 Finale ([-])

After the inspection of officials in the 27th and 28th years of Qianyuan, the officialdom and social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty in the next ten years were upright, and the government was smooth and the people were harmonious.

In the 30th year of Qianyuan, Huang Luzhuang, a Yangzhou native, developed a practical internal combustion engine, was promoted to a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of internal engine by Emperor Qianyuan!

In the 32nd year of Qianyuan, Huang Luzhuang invented the first diesel locomotive in Ming Dynasty, referred to as automobile.

In the 33rd year of Qianyuan, the secret lord Daming Mizaoju developed the world's first tank with actual combat functions!

Therefore, Huang Luzhuang was once again promoted to the rank of locomotive uncle.

In the same year, Fang Zhonglu, the youngest son of Fang Yizhi, the late president of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, developed the first practical generator in the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Electric Motor by Emperor Qianyuan.

Huang Luzhuang and Fang Zhonglu are known as the double shoes of the scientific circles of the Ming Dynasty at home and abroad, which pushed the Ming Empire into the electrical age...
In the 36th year of Qianyuan, the navy of the Ming Empire defeated the navy of the Ottoman Empire three times in the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea.

In the 37th year of Qianyuan, the Ottoman Empire stationed 20 troops in Cairo. The Ming army intended to block the landing was defeated by the Ming army with less than [-] troops.

On July [-] of the same year, the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire signed the famous "Ming-Ocairo Treaty".

In addition to stipulating that the Ottoman Empire had to open several port cities to the Ming Empire as treaty ports, the most important thing in the treaty was to cede a large area of ​​land between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea centered on Cairo to Ming.

After obtaining this piece of land, the Ming Dynasty began to build a canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, calling it the "Asian-African Grand Canal".

···
On the second day of March in the 39th year of Qianyuan, Prince Zhu Yiqin, a royal envoy, gathered people outside to smoke "fushou ointment", and Emperor Qianyuan was furious when he heard about it.

Nanjing Forbidden City, Hall of Martial Arts.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Hechen slapped the memorial on the imperial case again, his face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Smoking opium! It's really embarrassing to my Zhu family! Someone, go and bring me this useless thing." !"

A group of Huben Guards (formerly Huben Camp, ten years of Qianyuan, Zhu Hechen changed the battalions of the Yulin Army into guards) guarding outside the hall immediately entered the hall, received the emperor's order, and went to the East Palace.

In the East Palace, the 35-year-old prince Zhu Yiqin was reading a book, but looked sleepy and yawned from time to time.

He looked at the people around him, and was about to find an excuse to take a few breaths in the secret room, when he heard the scolding voice of a female history outside.

"What are you doing? This is the East Palace!"

A soldier buzzed: "Your Majesty has orders, take His Highness the Crown Prince to the Hall of Martial Arts!"

Zhu Yiqin looked out the window and found that it was Hubenwei who came, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

'Why did the emperor let Hubenwei pass me on? '

Before he could think too much, the team of tiger guards had already walked in and showed the emperor's handbook.

Although Zhu Yiqin was surprised, he didn't dare to disobey his orders at all, so he could only follow Hubenwei.

Arriving at the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Yiqin tried his best to restrain his craving for cigarettes, and saluted Zhu Hechen respectfully.

"My son sees my father."

Zhu Hechen didn't agree, but walked down to Zhu Yiqin's side, and said, "Look up for me."

Zhu Yiqin was even more frightened because he knew that only when his father was in an abnormal mood would he call himself me instead of me.

But he looked up anyway.

Zhu Yiqin looked at the face of his eldest son, and realized that his face was pale with sallowness, there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and even a few strands of white hair.

Taking a closer look, it seemed to be even older than him!
Although Zhu Hechen is 54 years old, but because he has taken three life-prolonging potions, one potion for strengthening immunity, and one potion for delaying aging, plus he has a regular daily routine and pays attention to health maintenance, his beard and hair are now dark and shiny, and his face It's just a few wrinkles around the eyes.

The most important thing is that his eyes are very bright and sharp, and he looks energetic and powerful.

He stood with his son Zhu Yiqin, and some people would believe that he was Zhu Yiqin's younger brother.

Looking at the face of the eldest son, thinking of these, Zhu Hechen felt guilty, sad, angry and sad.

This son also sees him often, how did he become what he is now?
Why didn't he notice the change in his son before?

With a complicated mood mainly uncomfortable, Zhu Hechen returned to the imperial case and continued to correct the memorial, as if Zhu Yiqin was not in the palace.

In the first 10 [-] minutes, Zhu Yiqin could barely stand up.

But after 10 minutes, Zhu Yiqin yawned uncontrollably and even started to runny nose.

Four or ten minutes later, Zhu Yiqin began to tremble and broke out in a cold sweat.

After an hour, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground, weeping.

Seeing this, Zhu Hechen got angry again, walked down, raised his foot and kicked Zhu Yiqin's ass, cursing as he kicked.

"Things that are useless, let you eat smoke!"

"You have lost all face of the royal family!"

"···"

The secretaries and female officials in the hall wanted to dissuade them, but they were afraid of being hurt by Zhu Hechen's anger.

Just like that, Zhu Hechen kicked Zhu Yiqin more than a dozen times. Before he could stop, Zhu Yiqin turned his eyes white and passed out!
Zhu Hechen regretted it immediately, and shouted: "The imperial doctor! Send the imperial doctor quickly!"

Bring a few imperial doctors and assistants over, and get Zhu Yiqin away.Zhu Hechen thought about Zhu Yiqin smoking opium, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Of course, he knew about opium. After all, it was something used by Western powers in the late Qing Dynasty to poison the people of another world.

But even though he had read the relevant information, he didn't take it seriously.Because now the Ming Empire monopolizes Greater East Asia and dominates the world, known as the empire on which the sun never sets.

He didn't think any country dared to sell opium to the Ming Empire.

Moreover, the laws of Ming Dynasty prohibit the sale and smoking of opium.

But he never thought that his eldest son, the crown prince of the Ming Empire, would be so addicted to smoking!
He instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy in it!

So he ordered Jinyiwei South Town Fusi to investigate the sale and smoking of tobacco and soil in Daming territory.

A few months later, as the situation gradually became clearer, Zhu Hechen realized that everything was due to a single word!
In fact, as early as the Wanli Dynasty, opium soil entered the Ming Dynasty, most of which were used as medicine, but a few people became addicted to smoking.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were more cases like this.

In the Zhaowu Dynasty, the imperial court explicitly banned the sale and smoking of tobacco, and the situation was a little better.

However, in the past 30 or [-] years, in order to make huge profits, some criminals have grown opium in the southwest, made various "drugs" and sold them at home and abroad to make huge profits.

Although the Ming court banned the sale and smoking of tobacco, it couldn't prevent those criminals from doing it in a different way.

As for Zhu Yiqin's addiction to smoking, it wasn't as conspiratorial as Zhu Hechen guessed, it was just because a guard around him was ignorant, and offered the opium called "Fushou Ointment" in order to win the prince's trust.

After clarifying the situation, Zhu Hechen first shot and exiled the relevant persons who caused the prince to become addicted to opium, and punished thousands of people back and forth, setting off another major case in the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Afterwards, Zhu Hechen convened a meeting of ministers of military affairs and cabinet ministers, and on the second day after the meeting ended, he issued the "No Smoking Order" of the Ming Empire!
In the provincial capitals of the Ming Empire, people who sell tobacco and soil under various names are strictly investigated.Anyone who sells more than three catties of smoke and soil will be executed by shooting!

At the same time, those who smoked opium were strictly investigated, and all those who were addicted to smoking were exiled to the bitter cold land in the north!
Anyone who reports the sale of tobacco and soil will be rewarded heavily by the government.

He also appointed Wailang Tian Wenjing, a member of the Patrol Department, as the "general affairs officer of the smoking ban" to take charge of the smoking ban.

After the ban on smoking was issued, the Ming Empire, which had been quiet for more than ten years, once again experienced waves...
