Inside the security room at the entrance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Prince Duan was holding an enamel cup in one hand and gesturing in the air with the other, bragging to the officers and soldiers in the security room about how great he was in the past.
After boasting, he opened the lid of the enamel cup and took a sip of the floral tea inside. He felt so happy and delighted in his heart!
Especially when looking at the admiring eyes of a group of young people in Baoan City, Prince Duan felt that his life was worth it.
Feeling elated, Prince Duan was ready to return to the stage. He coughed lightly and said, "Of course, a hero never brags about his past achievements. There's no point in recounting the past. Why don't I tell you again how I, Your Highness, went on an incognito tour and won over the capital's most beautiful courtesan with just one poem."
The security guards at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are very different from the security guards in residential areas in later generations. The security guards at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are all young men, and they all have connections in their families.
These days, as the Chinese Academy of Sciences invents more and more things and they become more and more powerful, this place has become the most important place in the Great Qi Dynasty.
You may not believe it, but even if you come here to work as a security guard, your three generations of ancestors will be strictly checked.
Nowadays, if your family has not produced any officials above the fourth rank, or if your family does not have a noble status, you should be embarrassed to come here to apply for a job.
Looking at the admiring eyes of the group of young men, Prince Duan felt a little elated and planned to tell them how majestic he was on the bed of the courtesan.
But at this moment, Prince Duan heard someone coughing behind him.
He was just about to turn around and curse when he suddenly realized that the voice seemed a little familiar.
When he turned around, he found that it was Li Zhuo. Prince Duan was so scared that his pants almost got wet.
Looking at his good-for-nothing uncle, Li Zhuo frowned slightly. He felt that he could not let Prince Duan continue to act like this, otherwise the royal family would lose all its reputation.
"Uncle, why are you here? It's New Year's Eve this year, why aren't you staying in the palace?"
Li Zhuo asked why he hadn't seen Prince Duan attending court for a while. After all the fuss, it turned out that he had come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He was puzzled. A place like the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not a brothel. What could attract the old man in front of him?
Upon hearing this, Prince Duan quickly waved his hand and said, "I felt unwell a while ago, so I came to the medical school of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and asked someone to help me recuperate. I have just completed the discharge procedures, so I just need to wait for a few old friends to come together."
After saying this, Prince Duan pointed to the distance and said, "Your Majesty, please look, they are coming."
Li Zhuo looked around and saw several people walking towards him.
When they got closer, Li Zhuo could see clearly that the people who came had a high status in the political ecology of the Great Qi Dynasty. Among them were three chancellors, an earl and a prince.
Everyone walked into the security room talking and laughing, and then they saw Li Zhuo, and everyone hurriedly saluted.
Li Zhuo looked at the people in front of him with a complicated expression and said, "Are you also here to recuperate?"
Liang Licang smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, my waist has been uncomfortable for a long time. Thanks to the professors at the medical school, I feel much better now after they gave me a few injections."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we can take advantage of this period of rest to ask them to help you recuperate. When we return to work, they will be able to better share your worries and serve the people of the world."
After hearing what Liang Licang said, Li Zhuo also became interested and asked, "Is this medical school really that great?"
"It's more than amazing, it's simply miraculous. I've always had cold legs, and when winter comes, my legs are almost gone. I came here with the mentality of giving it a try, but after less than three days of treatment, my condition has improved significantly, and now I'm almost completely recovered."
After hearing Liang Licang's answer, Li Zhuo was a little moved and said, "If it's really that amazing, then I must take some time to come and experience it myself."
"Ahem. I'm afraid that's inappropriate. Your Majesty's health is managed by the Imperial Hospital, which is a separate system. I'm afraid the Chinese Academy of Sciences won't accept you."
Li Zhuo was dumbfounded. He was the emperor, how could he encounter such a thing?
Fortunately, Cui Shanzhan added, "Besides, if Your Majesty encounters an illness that even the Imperial Hospital is helpless to treat, it would be better to let the Imperial Preceptor take action directly."
After hearing this, Li Zhuo felt a little better.
He hadn't expected to meet so many people here, so he simply invited them all together: "Everyone, accompany me to walk around the capital and visit ordinary people's homes."
Liang Licang and others had smiles on their faces, but they were actually furious!
It turns out that even in ancient times, bosses who wanted to intrude on their employees' personal time were hated.
But the emperor has spoken, what else can they say?
So a group of people followed Li Zhuo and continued to move forward. Li Zhuo wanted to visit the homes of ordinary people.
There were markets where people lived nearby, and the more people there were, the more guards there were. When a group of people appeared at the gate of the market and asked the head of the market to open the door for them, the head of the market was almost scared to death.
Although he was not sure about the specific identities of these people, the neighborhood chief could tell that they were either rich or noble.
Looking at the nervous wardens in front of him, Li Zhuo smiled what he thought was a very kind smile and said, "Don't be nervous, old man. We are just here to see how the people of Daqi eat during the New Year."
Seeing this, Liang Licang had an idea and immediately said in a flattering manner, "Since the head of the ward has come out to greet us, why don't we go and take a look at him first?"
Everyone agreed and was thinking about how to get the job done quickly.
But Li Zhuo obviously had his own ideas. He pointed to a father and son not far away and said, "Let's go over there first. They are putting up Spring Festival couplets. It's a good time to go over and chat with them."
It is actually not accurate to say that two people were putting up Spring Festival couplets.
To be precise, it was the father who was guiding the young people in the family to put up Spring Festival couplets.
Li Zhuo, feeling very familiar, approached and said, "Old man, I am honored to meet you. Are you putting up couplets? How is the year going? Can you have a prosperous new year?"
The old man turned to look at Li Zhuo, then turned away and continued to instruct his son on his work.
The ward head was about to reprimand him when Li Zhuo stopped him. He then took the rice and noodles from the prepared Jinyiwei and said, "Don't worry, old man. We are not bad people. We are here to bring you warmth!"
Sure enough, when the old man saw the rice, flour and oil that Li Zhuo sent over, his eyes softened as he looked at Li Zhuo, and he even took the initiative to invite him, saying, "I didn't expect such a distinguished guest to come to visit. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Please come with me to my home for some tea!"
"Good! It's happily decided!"
