Chapter 1261 Postscript One Hundred and Seventeen Cars (Officially Completed)

Chapter 1261 Postscript 117·Car (Officially Completed)

Empress Dowager Ye sat in the center of the first row, smiling all the time.

Why did the archaeological findings of the excavation of Fu Hao's tomb break the nomination rules and force it to be awarded the gold award this year?

Because someone wanted to flatter her.

Fu Hao was the queen of the Shang Dynasty and a general. Now the queen dowager is also in power in the Ming Dynasty. Isn't there something in the dark?

Academics always involve politics.

Take Yinxu for example. A large number of tombs of the Shang royal family were destroyed and looted on a large scale. At first, archaeologists thought that it was a simple act of tomb robbery, but gradually they found something wrong.

Those tombs of the Shang royal family were systematically destroyed by the government.

So now the tombs of the Shang royal family in Yinxu cannot be matched with the history books, and it is impossible to figure out which tomb belongs to whom. Fu Hao's tomb was buried very secretly and escaped the excavation of the Zhou people.

The person who ordered the destruction of the tomb is most likely Duke Zhou!

The time of action was after the "Rebellion of the Three Guards". The rebellion of the remnants of the Shang Dynasty completely angered Zhou Gong, so he destroyed the tomb and ended the Yin sacrifice forever.

This behavior is understandable, but it is quite despicable in the Confucian moral values.

And Zhou Gong is the true ancestor of Confucianism and the ancestor of all Confucian scholars.

So decades ago, after repeated discussions, the emperor and his ministers of the Ming Dynasty unanimously decided that relevant academic achievements could not be made public. Any news related to Zhou Gong's destruction of the Shang Tomb is only for internal reference in the archaeological community, and papers and books cannot be published publicly.

…

"The winners of the bronze medal in science and engineering are: Ma Boliang. Ma Xueshi proposed the theory of gravity and gave expressions related to measuring gravity at different points on the surface of the earth with a surface form..."

This achievement was overestimated by the Royal Society, and it was believed that it could be used to measure the gravity of different sea areas during navigation. But it is difficult to apply it in practice at this stage.

At the same time, it was underestimated. If it can be used with artificial satellites, it will be very useful.

One scientist after another came to the stage to receive the award.

Soon it was the silver award for science and engineering, and one of the awards had four people on stage.

This team was very special, not only including a Tibetan scholar, but also someone led by his brother - he had already died.

Through many difficult investigations, they determined that the source of the Yangtze River was in Chaowula Mountain (Tanggula Mountain) and drew a map of the source of the Yangtze River and its tributaries.

The investigation lasted for twelve years. One scholar, one student, six attendants, and two people had amputations due to severe frostbite.

When the award content was announced, the audience gave warm applause.

Xie Yan was also full of emotion and stood up and applauded directly. These explorers deserve respect.

Empress Dowager Ye knew how to win people's hearts, not to mention the pension. The Tibetan scholar who participated in the geographical expedition throughout the whole process was given the surname "Zhu" by her family some time ago, and the tea-horse trade with the tribe was increased.

This is to raise a flag. As long as they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the Tibetan tribes will have their own benefits.

"I'm sure you can guess who will be the next gold medal winner."

"Two years ago, Bachelor Xie Yan discovered the damping phenomenon and proposed a new molecular and atomic theory."

"Last year, Bachelor Xie made an agate damped short-arm balance, which provided a powerful tool for microanalysis experiments in physics and chemistry. Especially in the field of chemistry, people can finally explore the atomic composition of molecules of different substances."

"Also last year, Bachelor Xie Yan took the lead in proposing the standardized expression of molecular formulas and chemical equations, which made the chemical research situation in my Ming Dynasty completely new and bright."

"Not only that, Bachelor Xie Yan also improved cement and invented the ball mill. This year, he proposed to change the scientific measurement units..."

"In just three years, he has achieved so many academic achievements, and he is so young. This has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty..."

As the achievements were read out one by one, the auditorium burst into applause.

Especially those liberal arts scholars, who usually don't pay much attention to this. They only know that little Bachelor Xie is awesome, but they don't have a clear concept of how awesome he is.

At this moment, they still don't quite understand, but they all know that he is extremely awesome!

Prince Laszlo looked at the stage blankly. Since the award ceremony for science and engineering, he couldn't understand what the officials of the Honglu Temple were doing.

In fact, the officials of the Honglu Temple didn't know how to translate scientific terms.

Zhu Tangxi smiled and watched her husband go up to the stage to receive the award. She felt that Liu Lang was shining at the moment. He was standing there simply, just like standing on the top of the academic peak.

Xie Yan took the trophy.

This trophy is made of gold alloy, with the main body engraved with the Bai Ze beast and inlaid with various gems.

It's not big, but it's quite heavy, probably three or four pounds.

As for the acceptance speech, Xie Yan has seen it on TV too much, so he said it at this moment: "Thank you, the emperor, the queen mother, the Royal Society and all the scholars, I am lucky to win the gold medal. Thank you to my parents..."

Then, he fulfilled his responsibility of eating soft rice: "I also want to thank my wife for giving me tolerance and support, and providing me with a lot of inspiration..."

Seeing many people looking at him, Zhu Tangxi felt a little shy.

Of course, there was more excitement and sweetness.

Next, the new version of the bachelor's jade pendant was awarded. The specific situation made the audience laugh and cry.

Because Xie Yan took the initiative to give up the title of the new version of the science jade bachelor in exchange for a copy of each lower title.

So, the society reissued him the old version of the jade and rose bachelor. Then it issued several new jade pendants at once, including the jade, jasper, hibiscus, and rose for science, as well as the jade and jasper for engineering.

Xie Yan felt very sorry for this, he would never be able to get the old version of the jade bachelor's jade pendant!

Because it was out of print.

If there are any major academic achievements in the future, Xie Yan plans to ask the society to reissue the out-of-print one.

This bunch of bachelor's jade pendants placed in the study is definitely his most precious collection.

The title will not be granted today.

Instead, the emperor will send a messenger to the house to read the imperial edict, and he will also burn incense and set up an altar.

Xie Yan has asked the old president, and he should skip the baron and viscount this time and directly grant the earl title.

Of course, the title cannot be passed on to descendants.

There is no fiefdom or food seal.

It is purely for face, and there are special treatments in various rituals including funerals. You can also bring a guard of honor when you go out, but the guard of honor must be purchased at your own expense.

In addition, according to the rank of the earl, you can receive the corresponding salary every month.

But you can only receive the basic salary without other treatments of the real lords - such as four-season clothing, winter and summer subsidies, etc.

In a few days, I will be the Earl Xie!

The award ceremony ended in the afternoon, and there was a dinner in the school cafeteria in the evening.

Xie Yan was half drunk and went back to the suburban manor with the princess.

Empress Dowager Ye and the little emperor went to the royal garden in the eastern suburbs.

Because it was too late, the city gates were closed, and even the emperor was not convenient to break the rules.

"Your Highness, Prince Consort, please wait!"

Just as they got on the car, a guard caught up with him, carrying a large sack on his shoulder.

Zhu Tangxi asked, "What's in the bag?"

The guard smiled and said, "The potatoes planted by the Agricultural Department, the Queen Mother asked to give you a bag. This thing has been planted all over the country, but there is a precedent that people died from eating it. In the past few years, dignitaries did not eat it. Now they understand that you can't eat those with sprouts or those that turn green."

In fact, for the lower-class people, you can eat it by breaking off the sprouts. Poisoning is certain, but generally there is no big problem-those with poor liver function will just consider themselves unlucky if they die from eating it.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

Even in the 1990s, many Chinese farmers still broke off the sprouts and ate them, knowing that they were poisonous but willing to take the risk. In an era of material shortages, it is quite sad and lamentable.

Xie Yan asked his entourage to take the potatoes away, and said to the princess happily, "I know there are many ways to cook this thing, and I will make it for my sister tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Zhu Tangxi smiled brightly.

Today is another happy and sweet day, and she has gained a lot of emotional value in the auditorium. Tomorrow her lover will cook for her again.

This life is so perfect!

Xie Yan was thinking about what dish to make with potatoes.

I want a serving of wolf tooth potatoes, which are also called silkworm potatoes.

There are also hot and sour potato shreds.

Small potatoes with pepper and salt.

Potatoes are actually a sailing tool.

Not only are they rich in starch, but they are also rich in vitamins, which can effectively prevent sepsis.

Arriving at the suburban manor, the couple took a bath.

The princess has been postpartum for more than two months, but she has always refused to have sex with Xie Yan. Because she felt that her belly had become ugly and needed more time to recover, she didn't want her husband to see her fat side.

Today, Zhu Tangxi was happy and finally agreed to have sex.

Well, in fact, she was also holding it back.

After the first round of the battle, Zhu Tangxi flushed and lay in Xie Yan's arms, asking: "Do you want a reward, Liu Lang?"

"What reward?" Xie Yan asked.

Zhu Tangxi smiled and said, "That's right... If there is any embarrassing trick, it can be done tonight."

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Xie Yan tried to say, "I heard that sister used to sleep with Qingluan."

Zhu Tangxi sighed, "Alas, I was very upset in those years, and I couldn't fall asleep in bed. I let Qingluan sleep with me, and sometimes we chatted until midnight before falling asleep."

"I heard Qingluan say that you guys were intimate?" Xie Yan smiled slyly.

Zhu Tangxi was embarrassed: "Why did she tell you everything!"

Xie Yan said, "I want to see you guys being intimate."

"No, it's too embarrassing!" Zhu Tangxi refused sternly.

Xie Yan began to touch her: "Good sister, try it. Just tonight, I won't remember anything tomorrow."

"No."

"Good sister, try it once."

"Oh, don't touch me randomly... Just this time."

"Well, tonight. Qingluan, come in!"

Qingluan pushed the door open and closed it with a red face.

Zhu Tangxi was too embarrassed to see anyone, so she turned over and laid on her back with her face against the pillow like an ostrich.

…

The next day, Xie Yan slept until almost noon.

Too tired!

Zhu Tangxi lay on the bed and looked at the mosquito net. She didn't know when Qingluan left. Although she avoided embarrassment, Zhu Tangxi was still very angry.

Last night, it was like being possessed by evil spirits. She agreed without thinking.

She must not be soft-hearted in the future, otherwise she doesn't know what to do. How can she maintain her image in front of the maid?

At this moment, Qingluan knocked on the door outside: "Your Highness, my dear, someone is coming from the palace!"

Xie Yan and the princess quickly put on their clothes and washed up before going to see the angel.

It was a eunuch.

After greeting the couple, he said to Xie Yan: "Son-in-law, His Majesty summons you. Please come to the palace immediately."

Xie Yan casually asked about something, but the eunuch never said anything.

Seeing that Zhu Tangxi was about to leave, the eunuch said, "Your Highness, only the prince consort was summoned today."

"I can't go?" Zhu Tangxi said in surprise.

The eunuch was silent.

Xie Yan sat in the carriage and followed the eunuch into the city in a daze, and then went straight to the imperial city.

Then he found that the route was wrong.

The imperial carriage entered the palace without stopping at any institution, but went all the way north to the direction of the harem.

Could it be that the empress dowager invited me to sleep with her, so she didn't let the princess follow?

Too scary.

Xie Yan thought about it for a while, and the carriage suddenly turned east between the palace and the harem.

This place was called Xuanwu City in the Song Dynasty.

Now it has obviously been renovated, and another gate has been built at the easternmost end of the city. It is heavily guarded!

Xie Yan got off the car outside the city gate and walked in.

This is a closed little world, surrounded by walls. The emperor's harem is on the north side of the city wall, and the prince's eastern palace is on the south side of the city wall.

"Please come in, my son-in-law."

The eunuch said, and automatically retreated until he reached the city gate.

Xie Yan became more and more curious, why is it so mysterious?

There is a small hall in front, where Empress Dowager Ye sits in the main seat and the old president sits in the second seat.

After Xie Yan entered, his attention was completely attracted by the things in the center of the hall, and he had no intention of paying respect to Empress Dowager Ye.

It was a car!

When Bai Sheng was ordered to pick up the car, he dropped the BMW from halfway up the mountain. At that time, the windshield was broken, the rearview mirror was also broken, and the car shell was severely deformed.

Now the car skin has been straightened, but some parts are still uneven.

The car glass and rearview mirror have also been reinstalled.

The paint has been painted on the places where the paint has fallen off.

The tire is flat and has been broken for a long time, and even the wheel is a little deformed.

On this basis, the car was carefully maintained - at least the shell was maintained for a long time, and even the dust was wiped clean.

"Okay, Dean Zhu, you changed the car just after being promoted."

"Deputy, deputy, not yet the dean."

The dead memory began to attack Xie Yan.

He remembered these conversations between the Zhu father and son very clearly.

Mainly remembering that Old Zhu was the dean, Xie Yan also planned to have a good relationship with Brother Zhu to see if he could ask Dean Zhu to introduce a job.

Who knew that the father and son drove the BMW away and never came back.

It turned out that the car was driven to ancient times!

"Prince consort!" Queen Mother Ye suddenly shouted.

Xie Yan suddenly came to his senses and hurried forward to greet him.

Empress Dowager Ye got straight to the point: "It is said that Taizu and Taizong were immortals who came down to earth, and this is not entirely false. This car is the sacred object left by Taizu and Taizong. For more than a hundred years, it has been guarded by the royal family and assistants are regularly selected to dismantle and study it. Those assistants are all good family children who have been trained since childhood, and the whole family must not leave Luoyang for the rest of their lives."

"Over there are the research records of the past hundred years."

"This thing is extremely complicated. It can't be restored after it was disassembled at the beginning. There are always some parts and screws that I don't know how to put back."

"Over the years, there has been no outstanding leader in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. The old president has been selecting someone to take over this car. You are a relative of the royal family. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

Xie Yan immediately bowed: "I will do my best to accept this important trust!"

Empress Dowager Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

Xie Yan turned around and looked at the damaged version of the car, and his thoughts seemed to travel through hundreds of years back to the modern era.

Steampunk.

I'm afraid it will become cyberpunk!

Xie Yan's plan was to use Qin's cement to build a small hydroelectric power station.

This is still the Middle Ages.
