Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 218 The gift of the sons
"Nonsense, this is a good thing. It can make things in the distance come to your eyes." Lao Ba immediately retorted loudly. The two brothers are now quarreling every day, and it has become a hot mess.

"Old, old seven fart, fart." The second child hurriedly said: "Old, old eighth is right!"

"Oh, you two have seen this thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the old seven and the eighth.

"I've seen it." The two looked at Lao Liu together.

"This is an institution, Lao Liu used this thing to punish me." Lao Qi complained angrily: "I painted two dark circles under my eyes, and I was beaten up by my concubine again."

"You were the one who provoked Sixth Brother first!" Without Old Sixth opening his mouth, Old Eight stood up to Seventh and said, "The one that Sixth Brother gave me, I play with it every day, and I don't have any dark circles!"

"Oh, Lao Ba can play this?" Boss Zhu greeted Lao Ba cautiously: "Come, show us a demonstration."

The old eight ran up to the golden platform and taught Zhu Yuanzhang to put the big end of the copper pipe forward and the small end backward, and put it on one eye.

During the teaching process, he was also pleasantly surprised. "Yeah, father can adjust the distance with this one, but I can't move that one."

Seeing that Lao Ba had demonstrated for a long time, both eye sockets were fine and did not turn black, so Zhu Yuanzhang snatched it from him, squinted one eye, and carefully aligned the eyepiece with the other eye.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look and let out an exclamation.

"Ah!" Another sound came after putting down the copper pipe.

"Oh?" He raised it again.

"Yeah!" Put it down again.

It's exactly the same as Lao Ba's reaction that day, it's no loss that they are the father and mother.

"Hiss, interesting." Zhu Yuanzhang fondly played with this unattractive brass tube, and found that through it, even the old raven on the Fengtian Gate in the distance could be clearly seen.

Boss Zhu didn't just think it was fun, he immediately realized the military significance of this thing.Immediately greet Xiao Cao Guogong and say, "Bao'er, come and have a look."

Li Wenzhong stepped forward according to the order, took it with both hands, and under the emperor's guidance, aimed the tube at his eyes.After a while, he said excitedly:

"This telescope presented to His Majesty by His Majesty is definitely a magic weapon! If it were on the grassland, it would definitely be able to detect the enemy early; with it, scouts can also carry out scouting in places where the enemy cannot see us! On the tartar The best cavalry, the chance of victory is often in this line!"

"Not bad, good work is rewarded!" Zhu Yuanzhang was happy from ear to ear, feeling that all the gifts added up were not as good as this.

"Where did this come from?" He asked the second child.

"Boss, the sixth one gave it to me." Zhu Xiweng said in a low voice, "He, he said I didn't have time to prepare gifts, so he prepared them for me."

"I gave it to my second brother to play with, and he will give it to whomever he likes." Zhu Zhen looked tired and didn't like it, his right eye and the corners of his mouth almost slanted together.

The old thief beat him up for no reason, that's not enough.

"Old. Sixth, didn't you say that you prepared a birthday present for me?" The second brother said anxiously: "Yes, if it is for me to play with, then I won't give it to you. Father, give it back to me... ..."

"It's up to you." Zhu Zhen said in his heart that if he wants to come back, I will take your surname.

"Hahaha, this brat is always duplicity, obviously it was for his father." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed to resolve the embarrassment, and said to the prince, "That's what I gave me for my birthday last year. It must be for his mother. Yes, haha..."

"Your Majesty, is there a possibility. The sixth child gave it to me?" The queen smiled at him kindly, only then did she realize that he had missed the gift the child gave her.

"Really, haha, this kid is real, didn't I make another one for you?" Boss Zhu felt guilty for a while, and stopped calling himself.Hurry up and say to Lao Liu:
"Hurry up and make a pair of flower glasses for your mother, and this... telescope."

"Father, let's go to the fourth brother. Everything I think of has to be made by the fourth brother. The problem of adjusting the focus is also solved by the fourth brother." The sixth brother is always unwilling to let the fourth brother be left out in the cold.

"My son's craftsmanship is not comparable to that of a skilled craftsman, and it all depends on the whimsy of the sixth child." Zhu Di hurriedly said modestly.

"Okay, this telescope is our birthday present from the three of you." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said, "You are all our good sons."

As he spoke, he said with emotion to Li Wenzhong: "Mr. Liu's knowledge is really unfathomable. Lao Liu has only learned from him for a few days, and he has made such a magical thing. If he learns this in the future, he will not return it." Got to go to heaven?"

"That's right." Li Wenzhong echoed with a smile, "But that's also the talent of His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Hey, this kid can't boast. If you praise him like that, he's going to cock his tail again." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and glanced at the depressed sixth son.

Tough with the old father?You are still young.

Gifts follow...

The third child gave his father a picture scroll, which was as long as one zhang thirteen.

After unfolding, everyone fixed their eyes and saw that it was an imitation of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", depicting the whole picture of Nanjing city with realistic brushstrokes.

This gift was well thought out.On the right side of the picture scroll, the Yangtze River is rolling, and there are sailing films on the river;Between the rivers and mountains is the majestic city of Nanjing. The bustling downtown, streets and alleys in the city are criss-crossing, and the buildings on both sides are row upon row. There are shops, restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops, money houses, brothels, brothels, kilns, Goulan, tile houses, and theaters. , bathhouses, government offices, temples, private houses, etc. are scattered among them.

The streets are bustling with people and traffic, and all kinds of sky-high signboards are eye-catching, which is a lively scene.When you look carefully, you will find that the picture depicts the scene of today—the Tianshou Festival!

The streets are full of celebration crowds walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing dragons, performing lions and singing flower drums. On the flags they hold high, words such as "Taiping has elephants", "Sacred longevity is boundless", and "Unity for thousands of years" are clearly written. .

"This is "Nanjing's Prosperous Scenery" drawn by my son-in-law. Although I tried my best, my ability is limited, and I can't describe the grand scene of the southern capital created by my father. But I still boldly dedicate it to my father. I wish my father a long life and a bright future. Unify for ten thousand years!" Zhu Bian clasped his fists loudly.

"Okay, good boy, you have a heart." Zhu Yuanzhang brushed his beard and nodded in satisfaction.I don’t feel like being in it on weekdays, but today I take a bird’s-eye view of this scroll, and the city of Nanjing is so beautiful and prosperous.

"Sister, when we captured Jiqing Road and entered Jinling City 20 years ago, this place was exactly like this." He said to Empress Ma with endless emotion: "Our country is so beautiful."

"Yes, it is much more prosperous now than it was then." Empress Ma also nodded with emotion.

"Actually, this is our real Longxing place." Zhu Yuanzhang said involuntarily.

At this moment, he finally let go of his obsession with his hometown, and regarded Nanjing City as the real capital.

The civil and military ministers in the palace exchanged glances with each other.

They all felt that His Royal Highness was really a character.

This gift is really wonderful, it not only fits the emperor's current mood, but also can win the gratitude of the people of Nanjing.

If His Highness the Sixth Highness hadn't prepared the... binoculars for the Second Highness, this would definitely be out of place.
