Chapter 293 Shut Up
Chapter 293 Shut Up
Su Jin's eyes became more determined. One thing that she had more than the ancient women was that she was strong enough.
If others were in Su Jin's current situation, they would either nod their heads even if they were unwilling, or move out of the capital overnight. Only Su Jin was still thinking about figuring out the matter of the Sixth Rank Siyuan.
"Then the mother..."
Su Jin stood up and said, "Tell everyone outside that I'm not feeling well. I'm going back first. Yuchuan, let's go!"
Jinchuan Yuchuan had already prepared to drive, thinking that the next step might be a long journey, but who would have thought that in the end they would end up returning to the capital first.
However, the two maids did not dare to say anything more, but took Su Jin with them and set off.
This was originally Su Jin's manor, and no one tried to stop him. Everyone only knew that Su Jin left in a hurry, while Xie Huaiguang and a few others knew everything only after Su Jin left.
It was getting late now, and it was almost time to close the city gates. Su Jin had left early, so he must have entered the city. As for the rest of the people, since Su Jin was not here, everyone felt that there was no fun anymore, so Xie Huaiguang said, "Your Majesty, the master has left, so let's go back to the capital to see the emperor."
These words were cold, hard, and contained a bit of anger. Zhao Jingyu was helpless and could only take his people to Beijing.
The increased wheat harvest and the newly manufactured bicycles all had to be reported to the emperor.
Soon, the group set off back to Beijing.
Zhao Jingcheng originally thought that his younger brother would come back later, but he came back not long after the city gate was closed. As the emperor, Zhao Jingcheng immediately understood that those so-called confessions must have failed.
Zhao Jingcheng was somewhat unhappy at the time. You were just a woman, a divorced woman at that, and it was already too high to marry his own brother. Now Prince Rui had taken a fancy to you and was giving you face by confessing his love in person, but you were so good as to pretend and even dared to refuse?
He clearly didn't know the whole process, but it didn't matter. It was enough for Zhao Jingcheng to know the ending, and this ending was the one he disliked the most, that is, the daughter of Hexi Su actually rejected her own brother.
Does she deserve it?
Zhao Jingcheng didn't look very happy.
There were three people kneeling below: Xie Huaiguang, Gu Zilu, and Chen Hong. Zhao Jingyu was standing, but everyone could feel that Zhao Jingcheng was not in a very good mood.
Gu Zilu was secretly shocked.
It turns out that the emperor had known about this matter for a long time. No wonder my mother wanted to come back. She must have wanted to see what was going on in the palace. But the current situation is obviously the worst. It would be better for my mother to leave directly from the farm!
Gu Zilu really wanted his mother to leave quickly, but it was too late now. The city gates were closed, and they had to leave early tomorrow morning anyway.
As he thought about it, he fell silent again and decided to act according to circumstances.
The imperial study was silent.
Zhao Jingcheng glanced at Chen Hong: "Why is he here too?"
Prince Rui said, "Your Majesty, Chen Hong and Su Jin have worked together to build a self-propelled car, and I brought it to you to see."
Su Jin again?
Zhao Jingcheng looked unhappy. He didn't want to hear this name at all.
"What self-driving car?"
Chen Hong stood up and said, "I will show it to His Majesty right away."
As he spoke, the bicycle was brought in. Chen Hong rode it around the imperial study three times before stopping. Looking back, he saw that Zhao Jingcheng was really fond of it.
"emperor."
Xie Huaiguang finally spoke: "I think this thing should be used to send messages, so that more war horses can be saved."
Using horses to deliver messages is not as simple as it sounds. First of all, there are not many thousand-mile horses, and the horses used in the post stations are all good horses with strong endurance and fast running speed. In addition, horses need to eat, drink, and rest, and they also require endurance and explosive power. Although this bicycle does not seem to be very fast, the roads to and from the capital are not all flat roads. Horses have advantages in short distances, but for long distances, this self-propelled vehicle is better anyway.
"Well, my dear, what you said makes sense."
Zhao Jingcheng was very satisfied.
Xie Huaiguang stared at the emperor's face, and when he saw him smile, he spoke: "I think that Chen Hong and Su Jin, who invented this thing, should be rewarded heavily."
Zhao Jingcheng: ...
Why is Su Jin again?
When the emperor's smile faded, Xie Huaiguang winked at Gu Zilu, who then said, "Your Majesty, I have brought some wheat from the field."
After saying this, he knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully presented a small box. When the wooden box was opened, it was filled with freshly harvested wheat.
As expected, Zhao Jingcheng smiled again.
“Is this the wheat that has tripled?!”
Zhao Jingcheng took the wheat and examined it carefully.
"Sure enough, the ears of wheat are bigger than those of ordinary wheat, with more and fuller grains."
Gu Zilu echoed: "Your Majesty, if we continue the research, it is very likely that the output will be even higher next year."
"Can it go higher?"
It is already impressive that the yield per mu has tripled. In Zhao Jingcheng's opinion, the yield of 600 kilograms per mu is already an astronomical figure. Now Zhao Jingcheng tells him that he can harvest even more?
Gu Zilu said: "Yes, several of us students have been keeping an eye on it, and Lord Xie has also been guarding the fields. Mother has been giving guidance and advice. This is the result of everyone's efforts. It is God's blessing on the Great Zhou Dynasty and the emperor's great benevolence. Therefore, the yield must be even higher!"
Gu Zilu lowered his head and flattered him without blushing or breathing hard, and what he said sounded like the truth. Zhao Jingcheng was happy and angry at the same time.
How is it related to Su Jin again?
The emperor was neither happy nor unhappy.
Xie Huaiguang quietly took in the emperor's expression. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"explain!"
Zhao Jingcheng now wants to hear something else, anything at all, as long as it has nothing to do with Su Jin.
Xie Huaiguang looked around, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. The emperor must have understood something, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving Xie Huaiguang alone in the room.
Outside, even Zhao Jingyu had to wait, and no one knew what the two people inside were saying.
However, several people could sense that the emperor disliked Su Jin.
Prince Rui was extremely upset now. He could only say that he acted rashly and did something that was not good for Su Jin.
Chen Hong muttered, "What will Lord Xie say to the Emperor?"
Gu Zilu narrowed his eyes: "Anyway, I won't talk about my mother."
"Why?"
"Why else? If you continue talking, the emperor will definitely be angry, but until now, there is still silence inside, which can only mean that what Lord Xie said is the only thing that the emperor is interested in, and that is definitely not the mother."
Gu Zilu was smart after all, and he pointed out everything directly, so Chen Hong shut up completely.
After a long while, the door of the study was reopened, and the emperor summoned several people in. This time no one mentioned Su Jin, and the emperor did not ask. After chatting for a while about the improvement of self-propelled vehicles and food, everyone dispersed, and the emperor left only Zhao Jingyu alone.
