509 Myth becomes reality

The vigilant Jinyiwei outside heard the movement and saw the smoke again. He thought there was something wrong with the experimental site, and was shocked.

Forget it for the others, Princess Kunxing, Duke Xingguo and the eunuch Wang Erbiao, the eunuch of the Lijianjian. If something happens, it will be a big deal!

It’s not their fault that they think so, because they know that some steam engine is being built inside. This steam engine exploded once last year, killing one person and injuring several people.

Although the movement doesn't sound like an explosion, they are also afraid!

So, a group of Jinyiwei's captains outside didn't care about anything and rushed inside.

Many people have always been paying attention to the experimental site because they know that Duke Xingguo was personally working on the steam engine.

However, at this time, there were no more people paying attention to it at the beginning. However, there was still a group of people on the periphery.

The sudden movement also attracted their attention and they all looked over there and watched.

"What's wrong? Why is there such a strange sound? I've never heard it before?"

"Look, it's still smoking. Could it be that it's on fire?"

"See, the Jinyiwei Captain rushed in. I guess something really happened!"

"Duke Xingguo and Princess Kunxing are both here? If something happens, then it's a big deal?"

“…”

Amid the discussion, many people were worried about the safety of Duke Xingguo and Princess Kunxing, so they rushed over. Some of these people were grateful to Duke Xingguo and Princess Kunxing for giving them such a stable life, and some were just trying to take the opportunity to show themselves to see if they could hold on.

There are also a small number of people, most of whom are scholars, but they are mostly gloating. Although they don’t say it on the surface, they also hug them over, wanting to see if there is any good show?

However, before they rushed in, they saw the Jinyiwei lieutenant who had rushed in before retreating and began to guard again.

These people could not enter, so they had to gather outside and talk.

"Is this okay? That's great! I was so scared just now!"

"Is it possible? Look at the expressions of the Jinyiwei Captains, you don't worry, you probably will be fine!"

"There are still smoke and sounds, and it seems to be still moving. What's going on?"

"Yes, look, the expressions of the Jinyiwei Captains are also very strange, as if they have seen something they shouldn't have seen!"

"What are you talking about? Their expressions seem to be more of a surprised expression, right?"

“…”

They were talking, and suddenly they saw someone riding a horse out of the gate. After leaving the gate, they rode their horses and started to gallop. Just look at the movement, as if something urgent was happening. With a few followers, they disappeared from the sight of the onlookers from afar. Looking at the direction, they were going to the capital.

"Isn't the eunuch Wang, the eunuch who was in the Silijian, just now? He left in such a hurry?"

"It's right that the prince is, he is so anxious to go back to the palace? Could it be that the news that just arrived really hurt Duke Xingguo or Princess Kunxing, right?"

"Who knows? You said, could it be that steam engine from Duke Xingguo? "

"Is this impossible? Is that the steam engine moving like this?"

“…”

These onlookers didn't know what was going on, and they could only guess outside through the tall wall.

After a while, they could find that the movements inside the wall slowly disappeared. However, this did not reduce their gossip and was still chatting.

Of course, there are also some people who do whatever they should do after waiting for a while without movement.

However, what they never expected was that there was a sudden movement in the capital at some point.

Teams of soldiers from the Five City Military Command drove out of the capital and began martial law along the road leading to the Ming Dynasty's Capital Academy.

This is quite a stir, and passers-by have to avoid aside for a while.

As long as there is no urgent matter, they will stop watching and guess what happened?

This formation is really a bit big!

Of course, those who were watching the academy probably guessed that such a big change should have something to do with the movements in the academy just now!

However, they can only guess what the specific situation is!

But not long after, a group of people came out trotting from the capital.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound and saw that the person in the leader was wearing the current emperor.

Behind the emperor were the eunuchs in the palace, all of whom were red official robes; behind them were senior officials of the Ming Dynasty with red and red robes. They all rode on horseback without sedan chairs, and walked in a hurry.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for the emperor to leave the palace easily. When he suddenly appears, he still rides a horse or even trots, which shows how anxious the emperor is.

This situation shocked many people.

Look, there were many curious people in the capital city, so they walked around other city gates and rushed out to see the situation.

They just wanted to know what happened that made the current emperor run out of the capital in such a hurry?

……………………

Of course Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, so that before Zhang Mingwei and others had time to go out to welcome him, Emperor Chongzhen rode into the gate.

As soon as the man entered, Emperor Chongzhen was already shouting: "Sir, where is the steam locomotive? Sir..."

Without saying a few words, he saw the situation inside clearly, and then stopped shouting.

I saw that in a square in front of him, it was actually the playground of the academy. There was a monster very conspicuous, lying on two iron rods surrounding the square on the ground.

Zhang Mingwei, Zhu Miyu and others surrounded the surrounding area. They were supposed to be talking about things, but when they heard the movement, they looked up at the door.

Needless to say, the steam locomotive that the gentleman said must be the thing in front of him.

Zhang Mingwei was talking about hanging up a few more cars for the steam locomotive. When he looked up, he actually saw Emperor Chongzhen.

This made him feel a little speechless. He didn't expect that the emperor was so anxious and rushed over as soon as he heard Wang Erbiao's report!

So he led Song Yingxing and others to meet him.

Before Zhang Mingwei could see him, Emperor Chongzhen had already turned over and dismounted, walked over immediately, and asked excitedly: "Sir, let me see!"

"Your Majesty, you are too impatient!" Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this.

When others heard this, they were amazed in their hearts. Only Duke Xingguo dared to say this to the current emperor!

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said with a natural smile: "How can you not be in a hurry? It costs 700,000 taels, a golden lump!"

Hearing this reason, Zhang Mingwei felt helpless.

Well, it's really expensive!

However, this is the first steam locomotive to be built. When we go back to build the second and third ones, we have experience. Although we still have to build it by hand in a short period of time, we will definitely not cost so much money.

Thinking of this in his heart, Zhang Mingwei looked at Song Yingxing and said, "Let's just demonstrate it to Your Majesty!"

When Song Yingxing heard this, he immediately agreed and walked towards the steam locomotive.

Du Yinxi and others were discussing matters with Emperor Chongzhen, and they received the news and were abandoned by Emperor Chongzhen. They originally wanted to advise Emperor Chongzhen not to be anxious, but Emperor Chongzhen was gone and had to follow him.

At this time, when he heard that Song Yingxing was going to move the steam locomotive, he hurriedly said to Zhang Mingwei: "Duke, is it safe?"

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he smiled immediately and did not answer. He immediately followed Song Yingxing and stepped into the open-air car that had just been hung behind the steam locomotive. Then he turned around and said, "Is it safe? What do you think?"

When Zhu Meiyu, who had been with Zhang Mingwei, saw him, she walked over quickly, got into the carriage, and stood side by side with Zhang Mingwei.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he felt itchy and walked over.

No one else has seen it, but Emperor Chongzhen has seen it in the documentary, so he has less fear of strange things. Now that he sees the monster in the documentary, he has the actual actions of Zhang Mingwei and his daughter, he can't help but want to try it.

When the others saw it, they were shocked.

However, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, had also seen it. He did not dissuade the emperor and followed.

Their reaction made the others look at each other. What's wrong?

When they came to their senses, they were a little helpless and curious, so they all followed them one after another. Anyway, the emperor and Duke Xingguo were ahead, if there were really problems, everyone would bear it together!

So, Emperor Chongzhen was in the first carriage, with Duke Xingguo and Princess Kunxing on both sides behind him, and followed by an eunuch in charge of the seal.

The others all went to the rear carriage and did not dare to go to the first carriage.

Zhang Mingwei obviously felt that Emperor Chongzhen was a little excited, so he nodded to Song Yingxing who was standing in front of him and said, "Let's start!"

So, Song Yingxing began to operate.

At first, the steam and sound surprised Emperor Chongzhen a little. However, when he saw the daughter on both sides of the left and right, his son-in-law was calm and calm, he calmed down.

After a while, the steam locomotive started working, pulled the car behind and slowly started to move.

Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen's face immediately showed surprise.

With senior officials of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, Song Yingxing naturally did not dare to drive quickly. If the car crashed, something really happened!

So, at a speed slightly faster than that of ordinary people, the first train in the Ming Dynasty circled around the playground of this academy.

After seeing Emperor Chongzhen experience it, Zhang Mingwei said loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "This train can travel day and night, freight, or pull people. There is no problem in traveling thousands of miles a day!"

"Hahaha..." Emperor Chongzhen listened, let go of his hand holding the wall of the car, and immediately burst into laughter.
