Chapter 135 Father and Son Touch the Switch Together
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Gaochi was shocked by Zhu Zhanchen's words.
"Father, how can this be arrogance? It's just thunder and lightning."
Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "You are not a god in the sky, how can you control thunder and lightning?"
"It's not an exaggeration to say control, but it can be made."
"manufacture?"
Zhu Zhanzhen didn't say much. Xiaosheng and several young eunuchs were already waiting with the power generation device from before. At this time, they brought it in following Zhu Zhanzhen's order.
Zhu Gaochi was confused when he saw the strange device. This thing was more complicated than the previous kettle that boiled water.
Zhu Zhanzhen arranged the things, checked the connections, and then started to turn them together. On the third turn, the carbonized bamboo filaments lit up again.
With an explosion, the carbonized bamboo filaments broke and went out.
"What is this?"
"Father, when this thing rotates, it can create thunder and lightning. Of course, it is not as powerful as the thunder and lightning in the sky. It is a small thunder and lightning. The lightning can make the bamboo silk light up through the carbonized bamboo silk. It is much brighter than a lantern or a candle, but
Let the night be like day.”
Zhu Gaochi was puzzled: "What's the use of making the night as bright as day at night? You shouldn't sleep at night, how can you sleep in a bright room?"
Zhu Gaochi was not as positive about the future of electric lights as he was about a horseless world. He was unable to understand the essence of electricity and could not imagine its benefits in a short period of time.
However, the development of science and technology cannot be separated from electricity. The application of electricity will naturally take a certain amount of time, but the prototype will be made first and then gradually improved.
"Father, I'll turn it around again. Come and feel the circuit."
This small current could not hurt anyone, allowing Zhu Gaochi to experience the feeling of being electrocuted.
"Your Highness, Fifth Highness, you must not do this." The old eunuch stopped him: "What if it is really lightning and hurts His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"It's fine."
As Zhu Zhanzhen said it himself, he reached out and touched the wire. The slightest sensation was almost negligible.
Seeing that Zhu Zhanchen was fine, Zhu Gaochi came to touch him out of curiosity.
Father and son touched the switch together.
Feeling the weak presence of electricity, Zhu Gaochi was still puzzled.
"Father, let me go out for a while first. I'll go to the shipyard to have a look."
Zhu Zhanzhen stalked him, but Zhu Gaochi still refused to allow him to leave the palace. No matter what, he had to be punished to prevent the censor and other ministers from participating in his performance.
Zhu Zhanchen had no choice but to let Xiaosheng go out of the palace, tell him how to use the things, let him demonstrate in front of Zhang San and others, and then let them make a better one.
Seeing that Zhu Zhanchen was dejected, Zhu Gaochi comforted him: "After the New Year, I will give you the title of county king, and you can leave the palace again."
"Father, does it take so long?"
"Look at these memorials. They are all saying that you left the palace privately, which is unbecoming and disrespectful to the dignity of the royal family. You will be punished in the next morning. Don't treat it as nothing. These officials are making trouble in court. All of them are
We rely on etiquette and law, but you have lost the etiquette and law, and you can't go back."
Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled. Whenever he smiled like this, Zhu Gaochi knew that this guy had another evil idea.
"Father, after all, I came back with a victory this time, and I can finally make it right."
"Did you fight the war? Zheng He fought it."
"Isn't Grandpa Huang also to blame?"
Seeing that he still didn't know his fault, Zhu Gaochi was angry and funny: "Come here, give me a military stick and hit him twenty times."
"Your Highness, you must not do it. Your Highness, Fifth Highness, is just right now. If we fight again, Your Highness will not be able to attend the New Year's banquet."
Zhu Zhanzhen hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Father, my son knows that he was wrong. He really knows it. I have deeply reflected on my mistakes. Regarding this incident, I wrote a 500-word letter of repentance. In the morning, I
Let me read it in front of all the ministers first."
If nothing else works, Zhu Zhanzhen is still good at writing self-criticisms.
His words were always fierce and introspective, and others felt that he was teachable, very teachable.
Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that he was already prepared. He took the letter of repentance, read it with a frown, and sighed: "Do you really think as you wrote?"
"Yes, I already know that I was wrong."
"In the article, you said you would go to court on a thorn tree?"
"Yes, father, I have done something wrong and I must be punished." You must be sincere when admitting your mistakes.
If you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand upright.
Zhu Gaochi laughed angrily: "Nonsense, a majestic prince went to court with his breasts exposed and under a bush, and he was laughed at to death."
"Father, this will show my determination to admit my mistake."
Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Forget it, forget it, I will suppress their memorial to Yan Guan, and Yang Shiqi and Hu Guang will take care of it for you. You can just go to court as usual in the future."
"Thank you father."
Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen jumping away, Zhu Gaochi was furious: "Do you think he really admitted his mistake?"
The old eunuch beside him hesitated and did not dare to say anything.
"This kid's personality is too perverse. This confession book is the same as when the school admits his mistakes to the teacher. Every time he admits his mistakes, his attitude is sincere, but he still doesn't sleep in the school. Have you seen him change?"
The old eunuch said with a slight smile: "Your Highness, it is good for the Fifth Highness to do this. It is a lot more interesting. Moreover, whether the Fifth Highness is endorsing or doing things, he has never made any mistakes. He is just a little naughty and loves to play."
"I'm afraid that when he has a problem, there will be a big problem. People who are not bound by etiquette can easily be attacked by others."
The old eunuch said respectfully: "Your Highness is so smart that he will not be framed."
"Hopefully." Zhu Gaochi said and handed a secret report to the old eunuch: "The Jurchen spy leader from the last time Japan and Jurchen spies were caught yesterday. Hu Guang was ordered to interrogate the remaining young female spies.
We have to catch him too."
"As commanded."
…
In the dark prison, Hu Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet, was sitting and drinking tea. The jailers were tortured and interrogated the tied man. At this time, there was no good skin on his body, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in blood.
This man was treated with capital punishment, making his life worse than death. What was being done at this time was the punishment of being promoted to a higher official.
This punishment is very simple: a piece of soaked paper is placed on the prisoner's face, one, two, three, and so on.
At first it was just a little difficult to breathe, but as the number of papers increased, the human brain began to lack oxygen.
Breathing is a human instinct. This kind of punishment does not make him unable to breathe all at once, but it makes it difficult little by little. The more difficult it becomes to breathe, the more you want to breathe, and the person's desire to survive will become stronger and stronger.
.
After repeated punishments, the man finally spoke, and not long after, a confession was placed in front of Hu Guang.
"Mr. Hu, the prisoner confessed, but he said that he had never seen the appearance of that beautiful woman. He only knew that she worked as a steward in a romantic place and was good at playing the pipa. Both of them were leaders of the Zhechen tribe.
Abuhan and Zhuo make appointments, but they don't usually contact each other. In order to protect their respective information, they don't know much about each other."
Hu Guang put down his cup: "Let's interrogate them again. There is not a single word of truth in these spies' mouths. This confession will not catch anyone, so there is no way to deliver."
The jailer was a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
"You're almost tortured to death. You probably won't survive long if you wake up."
Hu Guang sighed: "That's it, let's be like this, behead him and throw him out to feed the dogs. At least he killed Abuhan Zhuoyue, the leader of the Zhechen tribe, and he can give an explanation to His Majesty."
"Here's the order. From tomorrow onwards, we will conduct a strict inspection of all romantic places. Anyone with unknown details will be brought back for interrogation."
"As ordered, Mr. Hu." The jailer rarely smiled. Interrogating these women were fat men. It was much more interesting and exciting than interrogating men.
"etc."
"What's wrong, Mr. Hu?"
"The prostitutes whose background is unknown will also be interrogated."
