"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! His Majesty has a decree for you to come to the palace immediately to see him!"
As soon as Li Zexuan's carriage entered Yongle Square, a Huangmen chamberlain chased him head-on. Sambo, who was driving the carriage, quickly controlled Dabai to stop.
Li Zexuan felt a thump in his heart when he heard this. Could it be that Li Er had discovered that he had been idle and passive in the past two days? Are you here to settle a score with yourself? Wouldn't this old Li be so stingy?
He opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Upon seeing this, the Huangmen chamberlain on the opposite side also quickly dismounted.
"My young father-in-law, may I ask your Majesty what business you have with me?"
Li Zexuan stuffed a few golden beans into the little chamberlain without leaving a trace, and then asked with a smile. If he knew Li Er's intention earlier, he would be better prepared!
"Sir, I don't dare to ask for this. You should take it back! I was just ordered to deliver the message. As for what the Holy Lord has called you for, I don't know."
The eunuch who came back this time seemed to be sent out for the first time, but he didn't even dare to fish for oil and water. Li Zexuan smiled and didn't force it. He said: "Father, please wait a moment. I will go back and change into official uniform. Follow your father-in-law into the palace!"
He came out to "have a restaurant" with his good friends today. Of course he wouldn't act like a lunatic and still wear an official uniform. Besides, his light crimson official uniform didn't look very good, so why did he wear it? However, it is still very necessary to wear it when going to the palace to see Li Er.
"The Holy One has specifically told me to enter the palace to see you immediately, without changing your official uniform!"
The Huangmen chamberlain added.
Li Zexuan was speechless, thinking that Li Er was in a hurry to reincarnate! Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart, but could not say it out loud.
"Then I will follow my father-in-law into the palace!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Sanbao and ordered: "Sambo, please send Xiaoyu'er to the workshop later, and then go home directly!"
"Yes, Master!"
Sanbao responded and hurried towards Dabai towards Anyi Fang.
"Let's go!"
Li Zexuan turned around, said something and then followed Xiaohuangmen towards the palace.
.....................
The distance between Yonglefang and the imperial palace is not far, about three or four miles. Li Zexuan arrived outside the palace wall in a short while.
Xiao Huangmen led Li Zexuan in from Chengtian Gate, passed through Jiade Gate, Taiji Gate, Zhuming Gate, Liangyi Gate, Ganlu Gate, and went straight to Ganlu Hall. Different from the previous summons, Li Er chose to go to Ganlu Hall this time. Manna Palace summoned him.
Li Zexuan is no longer a newcomer to officialdom. He has learned a lot of basic knowledge about officialdom. Naturally, he knows that the emperor usually summons his ministers in Taiji Hall and Liangyi Hall. Ganlu Hall is where Li Er studied in the inner palace. , is rarely used to summon ministers. It seems that Li Er is not looking for him because of some trivial matter this time!
Xiaohuangmen went in alone to announce the decree. Li Zexuan stood in the corridor of the outer hall and waited for the news. After a while, he heard a sharp voice coming from inside: "It is said that Li Zexuan, a man from Lantian County and the director of the Imperial College, has come to visit~~!"
When Li Zexuan heard the sound, he walked in with small steps.
The Ganlu Hall looks very simple and concise, but the tables, chairs, and stools in the hall are all decorated with originality. The furnace in the room is burning spices. Li Zexuan smelled it, but he couldn't tell what the spices were. "brand".
Li Er sat upright on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. On his head was no longer the crown of heaven he wore when he went to court in the morning, but his hair was tied up with a purple gold crown inlaid with treasures. I guess Li Er also thinks that the Tongtian Crown is too heavy! Li Zexuan cursed secretly in his heart.
"See Your Majesty!"
When Li Zexuan came in, Li Er was holding a book and reading it with gusto, as if he didn't notice anyone coming in. Li Zexuan didn't care whether Li Er really didn't see it or pretended not to see it. He stepped forward and saluted directly. He estimated in his mind that Li Er was probably just pretending. Leaders like to pretend to be serious. Li Zexuan understood, but he didn't want to play deep with Li Er. He also wanted to finish it and go home early!
"No gifts! Give me a seat!"
When Li Er heard the voice, he put down his book, raised his head and said. Of course he was reading very seriously just now, but he wasn't pretending to be serious as Li Zexuan thought, so he wasn't that bored. Li Er's ultimate success in the rule of Zhenguan is inseparable from his humility in accepting advice and his diligence and studiousness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Zexuan felt happy. Since he came in and there was a bench to sit on, doesn't it mean that Li Er won't wear small shoes for himself today?
"I asked you to hurry up and find ways to improve the telegraph machine three days ago. How about it? How is the progress now?"
As soon as Li Zexuan sat down, Li Er asked.
"Forehead……"
Li Zexuan shouted loudly in his heart: Fuck, it turned out that he had just thought too much!
"Return to Your Majesty, no progress!"
Li Zexuan wanted to fool him, but he couldn't fool him. There were too many "spies" under Lao Li, and he might have already known about it.
"Hmm~?"
Even though Li Er knew the result a long time ago, when he heard Li Zexuan's "single" answer, he still couldn't help but said angrily: "Are you treating my words as child's play?"
Li Zexuan heard Li Er's voice obviously raised an octave, and knew that Lao Li was a little angry, but he had already been prepared.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case! With the current level of technology in Datang, twenty or thirty miles is almost the limit of the telegraph transmission distance! If we want to break through this limit, we need to create a new device - the triode. To amplify the signal sent by the telegraph machine so that it can be transmitted further! However, the triode requires two new materials. I have not found them yet, but even if I find them, with the current level of technology of Datang, it will be very difficult. It’s hard to make!”
"On the other hand, regarding the issue of power supply, the power supply currently used by Xiaochen can only provide power on a small scale. To achieve large-scale power supply, it is necessary to build large generators and containers to store electric energy, and to build huge power transmission systems. Lines, in order to achieve these, in addition to spending huge financial and material resources, the most important thing is to have a group of corresponding talents, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible to do it with the efforts of just one person!"
When Li Zexuan decided to give up his job, he had already thought that he would be held accountable by Li Er. He had already prepared the relevant rhetoric, and now he was talking about it one by one, and it seemed that he was really serious about it.
Li Er was a little confused by what Li Zexuan said. Although Li Zexuan had already spoken more straightforwardly, he had no idea what these new terms were, such as transistors, generators, containers for storing electrical energy, etc. But anyway, It still sounds very professional.
Li Er frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. Let's not mention it for now. I have one more thing to come to you for today!"
