Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...In the subsequent presentations by various countries, there were some things that Zhu Yunwen certainly had the right to comment on.
However, he chose to remain silent, after all, the previous incident in Zhu Zi Kingdom had brought him some trouble.
Although the result was that the Ming Dynasty could make more money manufacturing lighters, such an action was ultimately inappropriate and easily gave the impression of stealing from others.
Therefore, when faced with some advanced things, Zhu Yunwen ultimately chose to remain silent.
It wasn't until the prince of Chechi Kingdom stood up and introduced some of the advanced things in their country that Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but be tempted when he saw them.
The prince of Chechi Kingdom showed everyone what was considered a relatively advanced and high-end item in their kingdom: a scooter.
Simply put, it's the kind of stuff that children in later generations play with.
It consists of a skateboard with four wheels and a control lever at the front, which is gripped with both hands to steer.
Then, place one foot on the skateboard and use the other foot on the ground to propel the skateboard forward.
This thing does have some use; it can be helpful and useful during everyday outings.
However, in Zhu Yunwen's view, this thing was at most just a toy for children to play with.
Which adult would stand on this skateboard and use it as a means of transportation?
The scene was too beautiful for Zhu Yunwen to even imagine.
So he quietly watched the prince of Chechi Kingdom as he continued to introduce the more advanced and popular scooters in their country at that time.
He was holding a scooter that was almost as tall as a person. One foot was on the scooter, the other on the ground, his hands gripping the handlebars. Then he pushed off the ground with one foot, and his body went forward with the scooter.
Then, use both hands to slightly rotate and control the direction.
In Zhu Yunwen's view, it was like an adult playing on a large scooter.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
Especially the prince of Chechi Kingdom, who was seriously holding what Zhu Yunwen saw as a toy, wondering where he was playing.
The fact that the princes from various countries around him were watching so intently made Zhu Yunwen want to laugh even more.
His smile immediately caught the attention of the prince of Chechi Kingdom, as well as princes and princesses from other countries.
The prince of Chechi frowned and looked at Zhu Yunwen, saying:
"What, does His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty find this funny?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head, covered his mouth with one hand, and tried his best to make a non-smiling expression as he said:
"No, no, it's not funny at all. Keep going, keep going, hehehehe..."
Beside Zhu Yunwen, Zhao Qingzhu also looked at him with a puzzled expression:
You looked like you were smiling!
Zhu Yunwen shook his head:
"No, no, keep watching, keep watching!"
Zhao Qingzhu naturally couldn't find anything funny about it, but Zhu Yunwen found it really funny. The key was that the prince of Chechi Kingdom continued to demonstrate, vigorously shoving one foot on the ground.
That image lingered in Zhu Yunwen's mind, an image of a child playing on a scooter that he couldn't shake off.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but chuckle again, and the prince of Chechi Kingdom immediately looked at him and said:
"You smiled again!"
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly shook his head:
"No, I wasn't laughing, you misheard..."
Zhao Qingzhu said, "You did laugh, but why are you laughing at people? Isn't this thing great?"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:
"Yes...yes, you can continue, you can continue, I promise I won't laugh..."
The prince of Chechi Kingdom withdrew his gaze and continued his introduction to everyone, while he kept gliding across the hall, his speed increasing.
When the speed increased, he started to panic. The handlebars also started to wobble, especially when turning. One of his feet kept tapping on the ground, clearly losing his balance and afraid of falling.
Especially when the speed is too fast, this thing has no brakes. When the prince of Chechi Kingdom wanted to stop, he had no choice but to put his feet on the ground to forcefully brake.
But he's moving a little too fast right now. It's like someone running. If you're standing on a skateboard in that situation, it's extremely easy to fall.
Moreover, the floor of this main hall is particularly slippery.
So when the prince of Chechi Kingdom's foot touched the ground, due to the speed, there was a slight delay, and the entire scooter immediately tipped over, and he fell to the ground.
Although it wasn't exactly a sorry state, he was, after all, a foreign prince, so it was somewhat unseemly.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
The others around couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, and even Zhao Qingzhu laughed this time.
The scene before us already gives everyone a reason to laugh; there's no reason not to.
Seeing everyone laughing, the prince of Chechi Kingdom became very angry. He suddenly stood up, strode up to Zhu Yunwen, and said:
"It's all because of you. If you hadn't laughed at me in the beginning and distracted me, I wouldn't have fallen at all."
Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Your stuff is no good, so why are you blaming me?"
So he began to speak:
"I'm not taking the blame for this. Your thing does have its uses, but have you considered any safety issues?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the prince of Chechi Kingdom became even more enraged.
He felt that Zhu Yunwen was deliberately mocking him, after all, the lighter of the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom was a cautionary tale.
Now that he's made a scooter, Zhu Yunwen actually stands up and criticizes him. Does he think he's some kind of prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom who's easy to bully?
So the prince of Chechi Kingdom immediately spoke up:
"Do you think you can give me pointers on this? Don't think this thing is as simple as the lighter brought by the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom. It's not easy to make this thing."
Don't tell me here that you know how to make it too. Then you might make something exactly like mine and claim it as yours. Copying and borrowing doesn't fool me so easily.
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly:
"You're saying that after I see your stuff, I'll quickly make something that imitates yours, and then I'll plagiarize and borrow from it?"
The prince of Chechi Kingdom sneered and said:
"Isn't that right? You can fool the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom, but you can't fool me. I'm not so easily fooled."
I bet you'll tell me next that you'll have half an hour, and then you'll have someone find some parts and tools to make this thing of mine.
And then you make it even more perfect, and then claim you invented and made it yourself, right?
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said:
"I just wanted to laugh, but you said such hurtful things. This is not going to broaden your horizons."
Otherwise, people would really think that the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty enjoys plagiarism and borrowing from others. Alright then, someone, bring up the vehicles of the Great Ming Dynasty.
