Emperor Tianqi did not ask the bottom line about Wei Zhongxian's situation.

I did not ask why the "people" recommended by Wei Zhongxian began to be disconnected from Wei Zhongxian until today, nor why they did not agree with each other's views.

Because there is no need to ask too much about these.

As long as Wei Zhongxian expressed his attitude, that would be fine.

Emperor Tianqi said: "It is good to be careful in my duty. These days, I really need a close friend to take care of you. You should use your life."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian said, "I obey the order."

…………

The so-called rare machine.

It's actually a steam engine.

This thing has been built in Lushun.

In fact... the principle of manufacturing is very simple.

You'll probably just treat it as a huge kettle.

Of course, if you want to turn this kettle into a driving force, you must ensure that the thing can be sealed and ensure that it has sufficient transmission capacity.

It’s such a simple thing. In Lushun, there are more than 600 craftsmen conducting experiments one after another.

Although Zhang Jingyi has pointed out the direction and theoretical research, there is no problem at all.

It's nothing more than burning a stove and adding a structure similar to a waterwheel.

Of course, it is simple to say, but it is difficult to make, such as the problem of sealing materials, such as the process and materials of the transmission rod, and the creation of boilers.

Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi's requirements are not high at all, and he asked someone to start with a marine steam engine.

The biggest advantage of a marine steam engine is that it can be unlimited in volume. After all, the area of ​​a sea ship is large enough to accommodate a large enough steam engine. The problem of power... Although it is also crucial, as long as this power can ensure that the large ship reaches the sail, it is enough.

Moreover, there is no need to consider economics for this thing. The money is enough. Even if you plan to use gold as raw materials, Zhang Jingyi can ensure sufficient funds.

After repeated experiments, many craftsmen finally made two prototypes and finally entered the process of repeated verification.

Immediately after repeated improvements, finally... a steam machine was made.

But this thing... is very bulky. As the world's first steam engine, although it has epoch-making significance, it is still too rough.

However... it is not a big problem at the moment, because the hull of the armored ship is still repeatedly proofreading and researching. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, after going into the sea, it will not sink directly to the bottom of the sea. Thousands of people in Lushun are still repeatedly trial production.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi was not in a hurry to deal with the iron-armored ship, but he immediately dispatched hundreds of skilled craftsmen to the capital, asking them to try to create a steam engine that can run on land based on the sea ship steam engine.

These are actually two directions. Although they have the same principle, in fact, running on land cannot be too bulky, which greatly reduces the volume and...enhances the motivation.

In order to reduce friction, steel rails are necessary. Therefore, Zhang Jingyi planned to ask someone to lay a small section of circular rails near the new district to experiment with these skilled craftsmen.

Of course, on the surface, Zhang Jingyi was in this experimental site every day, watching the skilled craftsmen gathering ideas and proposing one possibility of improvement after another, but he still paid attention to this major event in the world.

The three departments shall be held to a certain extent, both a struggle for the right to speak, and a struggle for the right to judge between the three departments and the Jinyiwei.

Not to mention... this is related to the success or failure of the New Deal.

Wei Zhongxian's words made Zhang Jing calm down. At this moment, he must be fully prepared.

Therefore, almost every day, a large number of express reports from the Jinyiwei in Jiangnan were sent to Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Jingyi also issued one instruction after another to the Jinyiwei in all parts of the world.

Under this calm, there are dark waves.

A fight for invisible smoke has slowly begun with the quiet preparations of both sides.

It's the end of the month.

The end of the year is approaching.

A team of criminals has been escorted to the capital.

Some secret stakes of Jinyiwei were arranged nearby early, and of course, they did not alert the enemy.

When Qin Qin entered the city in a prison car, many people were already waiting here.

The Jinyiwei has hidden stakes, but here there are also many "minded people". They pay attention to these imperial prisoners here in the name of sympathizing with the imperial prisoners who were scolded by the condemnation.

As one of Qian Qianyi, as one of his accomplices, he had just entered the city and immediately felt the enthusiasm of many people. Many people bowed to the direction of his prison car, and some people whimpered at him and burst into tears.

Some people even shouted: "Mr. Qian is a great scholar and loyal, but today he ends up like this..."

Qian Qianyi was sitting in the prison car, and he was already cold all the way, but when he heard these words, he became eager.

He looked at countless gazes and couldn't help but cry. For a moment, inside and outside the city gate, he actually cried.

The other prisoners who were escorting him could not help but sing tragic songs.

At this time someone shouted: "Long live my emperor..."

So the others shouted: "Long live my emperor, I will be able to see clearly and be fair to those who are wronged."

For a moment, the scene was chaotic.

The servants in Shuntian Prefecture had to isolate people from the streets.

In this chaos.

Liu Kan, the chief officer of the Jinyiwei who was wearing ordinary clothes, looked at all this coldly. He quickly stared at the person who was the first to shout long live, and tried hard to remember the current situation.

The prison car arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

Here, the lobby of the Ministry of Justice did not neglect at all.

The three ministers actually worked tirelessly and had already been here to rise to their seats and wait.

When I heard a servant came to report: "Qin Qian Qianyi is here, I'm here!"

So the three ministers looked at each other.

Everyone has a scheming in their hearts.

The Minister of Justice Xue Zhen came to the trial of this case. As for the Minister of Dali Temple and the Left Censor of the Censorate, he did not interfere at this time and listened to him.

Xue Zhen then pulled her face and said, "Come on."

Qian Qianyi was pushed in in a mess.

Outside, a servant came to report in panic: "Many people were rushing in to watch the trial, but the villain couldn't stop it."

Xue Zhen seemed extremely tolerant and said, "It's okay, let them come in, but there is one thing that the lobby of the Ministry of Justice is a thunder pool, and it cannot be surpassed by half a step."

"Here!"

…………

Qian Qianyi was covered in shackles, and others had lost a lot of weight. He had long lost his former suave style and had not yet stood firm.

Then Xue Zhen shouted: "Who is in the hall?"

Qian Qianyi said with difficulty: "The criminal official Qian Qianyi."

"Qian Qianyi." Xue Zhen sneered: "Do you know your guilt?"

"Know."

"What crime?"

"Planning for rebellion!"

"Do you know, what is the crime of treason?"

Qian Qianyi trembled, he was almost dizzy, and then said in shock: "The Crime Official... The Crime Official..."

Xue Zhen said coldly: "The plot against the enemy is unforgivable, and it is implicated and the whole family is destroyed!"

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he was already weak and he said, "No, no, it's not that he's the whole family..."

Xue Zhen said: "What is it? You have to know... this is the Ministry of Justice. The one sitting next to me is the Zuodu Censor and the Minister of Dali Temple. We obey the law and order judgment. I think... you know it!"

Qian Qianyi felt dizzy when he heard this. Although he had no friendship with these people, he had met them before.

Unfortunately, when we meet again, we have already changed our identities and have long become prisoners of the lower classes.

He shivered, and then... suddenly said: "No, no, I agreed that I am a prisoner in C... I only searched the house... I was exiled..."

Xue Zhen said slowly: "I have seen your case. There are many vague places. Now the Japanese official mentioned that you are here because he wanted to know, is the case... true?"

Qian Qianyi was completely desperate.

At this point, he had no choice, so he wailed: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged..."

When he roared, the people watching outside the door were immediately excited about the discussion.

Xue Zhen had to knock on the arson wood over and over again and shouted: "Silent, quiet... Qian Qianyi, tell me, what are your grievances!"

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he felt like he was catching a life-saving straw.

So he said, "How can I rebel if I am a scholar? I...I..."

"His Majesty……"
