Chapter 564 The Mother’s Car and the Mother’s Shuttle(2/2)
With this thing, tomorrow's Kuncheng Festival Holy Ceremony, the officials will be slapped in the face - the emperor is a filial son! And he is the most filial person!
It's because of the Queen Mother that I feel a little bit satisfied.
Although Sixth Brother mentioned her and ordered Shen Kuo to build this car because he wanted to "serve the mother-in-law, the queen, and extend grace to the world," after all, it was the mother-in-law's car.
But who is Zhao Xu?
The experience of studying abroad in modern times made him pay great attention to details.
He immediately held Empress Dowager Xiang's hand and said, "My mother's birthday is next month, and I have also prepared a treasure for her."
"It's a matching thing with the Grandmother's carriage, and it's called the Holy Mother's shuttle!"
"The mother-in-law spins yarn, which means that the mother-in-law gives birth to the emperor and protects me."
"And the Virgin Mary's weaving cloth is the mother's merciful saint who nurtured me to become a talented person!"
"On the Queen Mother's birthday, the Virgin Mary's shuttle should also be presented in front of the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red, she knelt down and hugged the child into her arms.
"Brother Six...Brother Six..."
Although this child was not born in her belly.
However, even if it is a biological child, I am afraid that it may not be more filial than this child!
Zhao Xu nestled in the Empress Dowager Xiang's arms and called softly: "Mother, my son is here..."
But in my heart, there was another thought.
The flying shuttle was named Our Lady's shuttle, and the original spinning jenny was named Taimu's shuttle.
Naturally, it was not only used to bring him closer to the two palaces, nor was it only used to strengthen the relationship between him, the emperor, and his relatives.
At the same time, it is his self-packaging and propaganda - in traditional Confucian society, filial piety is supreme.
Loyalty and filial piety, loyalty and filial piety, a filial son must be a loyal minister, and a loyal minister must be a filial son.
This is the truth that Confucianism has promoted for thousands of years!
As the master of the world, the emperor naturally has to lead by example.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu was unable to liquidate the Empress Dowager in his previous life.
At the same time, it was also the reason why he now had to make excuses with the Empress Dowager.
Of course, Zhao Xu is not a loser!
When shuttles and spinning machines were decorated with Confucian filial piety, they were given the name of the emperor's birthday gift to the emperor and the empress dowager.
Then no one can stop the expansion and promotion of these two machines.
Who dares to question the filial piety of the emperor?
Who can slander and slander the machines that have been dubbed the ‘Mother Car’ and the ‘Mary Shuttle’?
Strange skills and tricks?
presumptuous!
The crows in the Yushitai will be happy to send to prison the traitors and traitors of the two palaces who dare to criticize and criticize the emperor in this way.
As for those ignorant people who smash machines and burn down workshops?
That is even more of a capital crime for rebellion!
Everyone can get it and kill it!
And by the time the scholar-bureaucrats discovered that something was wrong, nothing could be stopped.
The torrent of the times will roll in.
Those who obey will prosper, those who go against will perish!
…
Distant Xihe Road, Didao.
Wang Daxu rode a horse and led his cavalry, patrolling on this road that had been patrolled countless times.
"But I don't know, how is my brother Daqiang doing now?" Wang Daxu was riding on his horse, a little absent-minded.
Because he just received a letter home from Bianjing.
His wife asked someone to write it.
The letter said that everything was fine at home and that all the money sent to Qianha's (Xiang Zongji's) family had been received.
He also said that Dalang was enlightened this year and entered the famous 'Mr. Fan's Private School'.
My wife said that her husband said that the old man in the family was a good scholar. At the same time, he also liked reading very much. Every time he came back from school, he would write.
At the same time, his wife also told him that in the first half of this year, his mother fell ill. Fortunately, he went to the hospital on Macing Street in time to hire a doctor, who prescribed medicine and was cured.
That is, there was no mention of the whereabouts of his brother Daqiang.
This made Wang Daxu very worried.
He only knows now that his younger brother Daqiang separated from Guo Gui on the construction site in Hebei.
Dagong seems to have chosen to go south, to Guangxi.
He also asked Xiang Qianha, who told him that he had begged for mercy from Gao Gongshi (Gao Gonghui). With the grace of Gongshi, he sent a message to the Gao family when he sent someone back to Beijing last time.
When the Gao family goes to Guangxi, help find his younger brother.
However, Xiang Qianha told him not to have too much hope.
Because the Guangxi side is too far and too big.
It's probably hard to find.
Wang Daxu knew that this was a fact.
Therefore, he becomes more and more worried.
"Buddha bless me, my brother Daqiang will be safe in Guangxi."
"If my brother can return safely, I will definitely go to Zisheng Temple and offer sesame oil..." Wang Daxu could only silently look in the direction of Zisheng Temple and pray.
Just as Wang Daxu was thinking, a team appeared on Didao in front of him.
He was riding a horse and could see it from a distance.
That was a very large team.
Men and women, old and young, all dressed in rags and with withered faces.
Wang Daxu looked at it and sighed in his heart: "How pitiful!"
He knew that this was another Qiang tribe that came from the mountains to beg for work in the Song Dynasty.
I heard that there was a disaster there and it didn't rain for almost a month this summer.
Unexpectedly, they met the Western bandits who extorted money and forced all ministries to hand over grain. Those who could not hand over grain had to hand it over to young men.
Therefore, many tribes began to flee into Xihe.
If it were in the past, Qiang would not be welcome here in Xihe.
Even when they come, they are left outside the border, and they are given some food and left alone.
This is mainly due to the fear that the Western thieves will work carefully and lurk among them, and the inside should be coordinated with the outside.
At the same time, it is also because, unlike Shaanxi, Xihe has very little local output and cannot supply too many people.
But it's different now.
The entire Xihe area is open to accept all "righteous men" who come to "return to the Ming Dynasty".
There is no need to scrutinize any fine work anymore.
Everyone who comes is a guest!
As long as they enter the country, they will be given the household registration of the Xihe government, and then some "good people" will come out to give them porridge and comfort them.
Finally, the people from Yahang came forward and signed the deed with these people.
These people were sold to manors in various places at extremely low wages.
However, these poor people are extremely grateful.
There is no other way. In the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is good enough to have something to eat, a place to live, and someone to protect them.
Wang Daxu didn't think too much. He rode his horse and went forward with his people.
One of his tasks is to find and discover the fleeing Qiang and Dangxiang tribes, and then take them to the Walled City built on Didao.
The porridge shed set up by "good people" and "righteous merchants" there has been open from June to now.
