Chapter 171                        

The matter was almost discussed. Several people bowed and said goodbye.

Zhou Mengchen fell at the end.

Yan Song, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Mengchen immediately took a few steps, bowed and said, "What advice does Master Pavilion have?"

Even though Zhou Mengchen had a few ideas about Yan Song in his heart, the scene could not be confused. I don’t know how many eyeliners there were around the palace. Zhou Mengchen naturally did not dare to be a little negligent.

Yan Song smiled and said, "I am as old as you, and I am still studying in the countryside. Of course, I am not as fame and wealth as you are now. Seeing you, I am very envious. How many years of life are you young? Is it a pity that spring will never come again?"

Zhou Mengchen didn't know what Yan Song could sell in the gourd, and said, "The Master of the Pavilion is very serious. Everyone in the world is young, but how many people have such authority in their late years. If you want to envy it, it is also the official who envys the Pavilion Master."

Yan Song heard this and laughed, saying, "In this way, we should envy each other? Although there are several exceptions in my Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty, he is at least in his thirties. He is in his early forties and is only a few years old. With Master Zhou's age, it will take more than ten years. By this calculation, by the time Lord Zhou enters the cabinet, my bones have already rotted. What a pity, I can't see it or see it."

Yan Song patted Zhou Mengchen on the shoulder and said, "You should do it yourself, you should do it yourself."

Then he strides.

Zhou Mengchen thought for a moment and then realized Yan Song's subtext.

Yan Song was explaining one thing in a vague way, that is, in terms of age, there was no conflict between Zhou Mengchen and Yan Song. Even if Zhou Mengchen charges ahead and overturns Yan Song, the final fruit of victory cannot be shared by Zhou Mengchen.

Therefore, there is no absolute conflict between the two, and there is even a lot of room for cooperation.

Yan Song was actually not afraid of promoting Zhou Mengchen. After all, Zhou Mengchen's age was not threatening to Yan Song. Even if Yan Song failed, he would definitely not be Zhou Mengchen who took charge of the cabinet instead of Yan Song. This is a concealed expression of easing.

Of course, there are some threats.

If Zhou Mengchen insists on being an enemy of Yan Song, he can only make Zhou Mengchen take care of himself.

To be honest, Yan Shifan's methods are too ugly than Yan Song's methods. Even though Zhou Mengchen knew that Yan Song was not a good person, Zhou Mengchen was still a little moved at that moment.

It is true that Zhou Mengchen inherited Xia Yan's love and was closely related to Xia Yan's orphans. But since he entered the political circle, he could not act voluntarily.

If Zhou Mengchen could reach a certain tacit understanding with Yan Song, in the future, Zhou Mengchen could do his own things quietly and promote science and other things. It would be a very pleasant thing. But Zhou Mengchen quickly woke up.

What do you think?

Not to mention, the conflict between Zhou Mengchen and Yan Song on the concepts is based on just one point. If the six ministers and nine ministers of the imperial cabinet and the other governor of the Ming Dynasty were arranged in all the key positions, there would be more than one hundred people. It would be impossible to increase any more. This is clearly a stock market.

If Zhou Mengchen wants to promote his knowledge, he naturally needs a certain political status. Yan Song is now an absolutely superior force. How could he give way to Zhou Mengchen? Even if Yan Song is willing, is Yan Shifan willing?

Zhou Mengchen took a deep breath and finally suppressed some of his delusions.

"Master Zhou." Huang Jin said: "Your Majesty, please stay right."

Huang Jin's voice came out from afar, as if Yan Song had heard it. He did not look back, but just paused slightly, and then continued to leave as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Mengchen curled his lips slightly, turned around and said to Huang Jin, "I'm working-in-law."

Under Huang Jin's guidance, Zhou Mengchen returned to Yuxi Palace and performed rituals as rituals, so it goes without saying that.

Jiajing asked, "Mr. Zhou, is it my fault?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "I dare not."

Jiajing said, "What are you afraid of? You dare not? You dare not. I understand how the people below say something wrong. In fact, I don't stand up for your own good. No matter when the situation comes, I can protect you. If I want to end at the beginning, I won't know what the situation will be in the future."

Zhou Mengchen didn't know for a moment whether Jiajing was saying true or false. But one thing was certain. Whether it was true or false. Zhou Mengchen didn't believe it at all. But whether it was believed or not, he had to show belief. He said: "I don't know your majesty's deep meaning. It's my fault. Your Majesty loves you so much, but I am really------"

Jiajing said: "No need to say nonsense. How is your steam engine built?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "There are already drawings and are ready to start construction."

Jiajing was slightly stunned and said, "Then stop."

Zhou Mengchen suddenly looked up and said, "Your Majesty, this------"

Jiajing's face was a little gloomy and said, "The method of leaving the soul out of his body is really too difficult. Not to mention that the soul is attached to dead objects. I-------" In the end, Jiajing fell into silence.

Seeing this, Zhou Mengchen took the blame without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, I have always had some evidence and some truth. The way of the soul leaving the body is, I have only seen some Taoist books, but I have never seen them. You are sure that those Taoists are not cheating------"

"Enough." Jiajing said with a swaying sleeve.

To be honest, Jiajing himself is not a very patient person.

This is also a common problem for many smart people. The smarter they are, the more they can't sit down and can't calm down. They work hard on something for a long time and never relax. Because smart people rely on their intelligence, they can always find shortcuts in many things.

But I don’t know that there are no shortcuts in many things in the world.

That's why there is an idiom called "Great wisdom and foolishness".

And Jiajing's intelligence has obviously not reached the level of great wisdom.

In many things, when encountering difficulties, he feels impatient and changes direction. When he encounters walls everywhere, he feels even more bored. At this moment, Zhou Mengchen said that those Taoists deceived him. He is even more angry. On the one hand, he actually has this understanding in his heart. On the other hand, he wants to admit that he was deceived by someone in his first forty years, as if he was a fool, and had been deceived for more than 40 years. This is something that Jiajing absolutely does not want to admit.

Jiajing said, "This is not possible, just stop the steam engine."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen complained secretly that the first prototype of the steam engine would be built. Although Zhou Mengchen expected that there were many problems, it was an important step after all. However, Zhou Mengchen never expected that this matter was born because of Jiajing's thoughts, and he might die because of Jiajing's thoughts.

This made Zhou Mengchen more deeply understand something.

That's what Xia Yan said correctly.

It is difficult for Zhou Mengchen to make much progress in the capital. According to the king's promotion of science, this method is OK at the beginning. But it is only suitable for the beginning. Even Buddhism is finally divided and merged with the imperial power. There are three martial arts to destroy Buddhism.

If Buddhism had not been deeply rooted in the vitality of grassroots, it would have been uprooted long ago.

But Zhou Mengchen was unwilling to give up this matter halfway. He said, "Your Majesty, this matter has been almost done. No matter what, the steam engine is very useful-----"

Jiajing said without hesitation: "If Mr. Zhou thinks it is useful, he can study one or two of them himself. It doesn't take time to do anything else. After all, in the world, immortality is the most important thing. Even if this steam engine is of no use, it will be useless to me."

Zhou Mengchen opened his mouth and said, "I understand."

Zhou Mengchen's own research and Jiajing supported the research. These two strengths are completely different. However, Zhou Mengchen himself did not expect that he would still experience cutting projects when he came to the Ming Dynasty. He never expected that it was for such a ridiculous reason.

But what is the use of understanding?

He had no choice.

Jiajing said: "Now there is no way to live in the way of immortality. Finally, I will restore it to this skin itself. What can I teach me about longevity?"
