Originally, I wanted to call this rebellious son along before leaving the palace.
But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find him, and now he has hidden himself near Dongjiao University.
Emperor Jing was about to continue his scolding, but Fang Zhengyi stopped him and said, "Father, this is all my fault. Your Highness and I also wanted to give you a surprise."
"What surprise?"
"Your Majesty, please look." Li Yuanzhao moved aside, revealing the scenery behind him.
Emperor Jing took a look and was stunned and speechless.
There was a small mound behind him. The middle of the mound was flat and there was a monument on it with the word "foundation" written on it.
There were a circle of shovels inserted around the pile of earth, which looked weird.
Emperor Jing said helplessly: "What kind of surprise is this? What are you planning to do?"
Fang Zheng hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I have noticed that the traffic between the capital and Taoyuan County has become more frequent in recent years. Over time, there may be traffic congestion, so I have discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about building a new road to ensure that any new and interesting things in the county can be delivered to the palace as soon as possible."
"Build roads?" Emperor Jing began to doubt his life after hearing this.
He had never seen a road better than the one in Taoyuan County, which was wide and flat, rarely seen in the world.
Is that road already congested now... Impossible!
"It will be a waste of manpower and energy. I don't think it's necessary. I don't mind spending those two days whether she is sent to the palace or not." Emperor Jing rejected it outright.
Fang Zheng became anxious.
Not necessary? It's absolutely necessary!
If someone uses dragon veins to attack me in the future, can the railway still be built?
"Your Majesty, this is all out of filial piety from your son and me. When this road is completed in the future, it will be publicized in your name. This is a manifestation of your diligence and love for the people... and..." Fang Zheng paused and said sadly: "And my parents are no longer in this world. Now you are the only elder. Please let me show my filial piety!"
"Zhengyi..."
Emperor Jing was deeply moved!
What is filial piety? It turns out that this child's parents are no longer around and have placed all their affection on me.
Where can you find such a filial son-in-law! He is even better than a biological son...
Emperor Jing glanced sideways at Li Yuanzhao, who was standing there stupidly, and snorted coldly.
Comparing a son to a son-in-law is insulting.
Emperor Jing said, "Okay, if you want to repair it, go ahead, but keep it simple. I understand your kindness."
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and said, "Then please fill the pit with a shovel of soil. This will be the opening ceremony."
Emperor Jing nodded, walked a few steps, picked up a shovel, and threw a shovel of dirt.
"Okay, go back and don't keep others waiting. The prince is coming too!"
Fang Zhengyi secretly gave Li Yuanzhao a thumbs up.
Once this is done, we can start building the railroad tracks!
On the way back, the two whispered behind Emperor Jing.
Fang Zhengyi asked, "Your Highness, how are your preparations going?"
"I have already found all the manpower and sent out the surveyors. We will start work simultaneously in Taoyuan County and the capital, which can ensure that the construction period can be greatly shortened." Li Yuanzhao was full of confidence.
"That's all! Be careful not to make any mistakes when measuring. It would be terrible if the tracks don't match up."
"Don't worry, it can't be wrong! If the surveyor makes a mistake, I'll hang him up!"
.......
Back to the East Gate.
The ministers did not have any special reaction when they saw Li Yuanzhao suddenly appear. After all, the prince had been unruly for a long time and they were used to it.
Instead, everyone's attention was focused on the strange object covered with red cloth at the school gate.
Emperor Jing stood in front of the red cloth and said, "Okay, now it's time to tell me what this is, right?"
Fang Zheng nodded, then walked to the front of the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, I believe you have already been curious about the thing in front of me. This thing is specially made to celebrate His Majesty's visit to Dongjiao University and the arrival of diplomatic envoys from various countries. It is called... Feiquan Roller Beads!"
After saying that, he suddenly pulled the red cloth, and the object underneath the cloth was revealed to everyone!
A pool full of auspicious carvings, with two Qilins standing up in the pool, with their claws facing each other, as if they are about to pounce.
It is full of dynamics and looks lifelike, and there are several koi carps swimming slowly in the pool below.
Emperor Jing blinked, somewhat confused.
The ministers and envoys behind him all stretched their heads to look, and were all disappointed after watching.
That's it? That's it?
The sculpture is quite nice, but it's just a broken pool, isn't it? And it's made mysterious, covered with red cloth.
Zhang Dongxiang laughed softly, "What is Fang Zhengyi doing? How dare he bring out something like this to be mysterious?"
"Does he have no work left? I think everyone is ignorant!"
"Yes, isn't this a Qilin? If it stands up, it's still a Qilin. And what does the flying fountain and rolling beads have to do with the name?"
A few low laughs from the crowd reached Fang Zheng's ears.
Fang Zheng smiled evilly and shouted, "Everyone, please look, the flying fountain is rolling!"
"Look at me, Lord Fang, what are you shouting..."
"Hey? Hey↗Hey↑! It's spitting water, it's spitting water! The Qilin is spitting water!!" The crowd burst into shouts of surprise.
The ordinary Kirin statue in front of me suddenly magically spurted out two streams of water from its mouth!
Two water columns sparkled in the sun, reaching the highest point and turning into two transparent umbrellas, then falling down and splashing countless water droplets, like countless pearls dancing in the air.
There was a moment of silence at the entrance of the Tokyo University campus.
Faced with this dynamic spectacle, no one dared to breathe hard, for fear of missing every second of the scene.
