Father can be an enemy to the country

"Nonsense, this is a fun thing, it can make things far away come to you." Lao Ba immediately retorted loudly. The two brothers were now quarreling every day, and it had become a firestorm.

"Old, fart, fart." The second child said hurriedly: "Old, the eighth child is right!"

"Oh, have you two seen this thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lao Qi Lao Ba.

"I've seen it before." The two of them looked at Lao Liu together.

"This is a mechanism. Lao Liu used this thing to punish me." Lao Qi complained angrily: "I was given two black circles under my eyes, and I was beaten by my mother and concubine again."

"You were the one who provoked Brother Six first!" Without Lao Liu opening his mouth, Lao Ba first stood up to Lao Seven and said, "The one Brother Six gave me, I play with it every day, and I don't have any dark circles under my eyes!"

"Oh, can I play this?" Boss Zhu cautiously greeted him: "Come on, show us."

Lao Ba then ran up to the golden platform and taught Zhu Yuanzhang to put the big end of the copper pipe forward and the small end backward, and put it on one eye.

During the teaching process, he also made a surprising discovery. "Yeah, my father can adjust the distance from this one, but I can't even move that one."

Seeing that Lao Ba had been demonstrating for a long time, both eye sockets were fine and had not turned black. Zhu Yuanzhang snatched it from his hand, squinted one eye, and carefully pointed the eyepiece to the other eye.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look and exclaimed.

"Yeah!" He put down the copper pipe and shouted again.

"Oh?" He raised it again.

"Yeah!" Put it down again.

It was exactly the same as Lao Ba's reaction that day, no wonder they were both father and mother.

"Hiss, it's interesting." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't put it down and played with this unassuming brass tube, and found that through it, even the old bird on the Fengtian Gate in the distance could be clearly seen.

Boss Zhu didn't just think it was fun, he instantly realized the military significance of this thing. He immediately called to Mr. Cao Guogong and said, "Bao'er, come and take a look."

Li Wenzhong stepped forward according to the order, took it with both hands, and under the emperor's guidance, aimed the tube at his eye. After a while, he said excitedly:

"This... telescope presented to His Majesty by His Majesty is definitely an artifact! If it is used on the grassland, it will definitely detect the enemy early. With it, the scouts can conduct reconnaissance where the enemy cannot see us! Against the Tatars For cavalry, the chance of victory often lies in this line!"

"Not bad, not bad, good work should be rewarded!" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth from ear to ear happily, feeling that all the gifts combined were not as good as this.

"Where did this come from?" he asked the second child.

"Lao, Lao Liu gave it to me." Zhu Xiang said angrily: "He, he said I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so he prepared it for me."

"I gave it to my second brother to play with. He can give it to whoever he likes." Zhu Zhen looked tired and didn't like it, and his right eye and the corner of his mouth were almost slanted together.

The old thief beat him up for no reason, so he couldn't let it go.

"Lao. Lao Liu, didn't you say you prepared a birthday gift for me?" The second brother heard this and said anxiously: "Yes, if it's for me to play with, then I won't give it to you. Father, please give it to me..." …”

"It's up to you." Zhu Zhenxin said that if I come back, I will take your surname.

"Hahaha, this brat always talks what he means. He obviously prepared it for me." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed to resolve the embarrassment and said to the prince: "I gave him those glasses for my birthday last year. It must have been given to his mother. Yes, haha..."

"Your Majesty, is there a possibility that the sixth child gave it to me?" The queen smiled kindly at him, only to realize that he had ignored the gift the child had given her.

"Really, haha, this kid is so serious, why didn't he make another one for you?" Boss Zhu felt guilty for a while, and he didn't bring it upon himself. He quickly said to Lao Liu:

"Hurry up and make another pair of spectacles for your mother, and this... telescope."

"Father, it's better to find the fourth brother. Everything I come up with must be made by the fourth brother's hands. The problem of adjusting the focus is also solved by the fourth brother." Lao Liu always refused to let the fourth brother be left out.

"My son's craftsmanship is not as good as that of a skilled craftsman. It all depends on Lao Liu's whims." Zhu Di said humbly.

"Okay, this telescope is considered a birthday gift from the three of you." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "You are all our good sons."

After that, he sighed to Li Wenzhong: "Mr. Liu's knowledge is really unfathomable. I only learned from him for a few days, and I made such a magical thing. If I master this in the future, I won't pay him back." Got to go to heaven?”

"Yes." Li Wenzhong agreed with a smile: "But that's why His Royal Highness, King Chu, is extremely talented."

"Hey, this kid can't be praised. If you praise him like this, he will raise his tail again." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and glanced at Lao Liu, who looked depressed.

Going toe-to-toe with my old father? You are still a little young.

Gifts will follow...

The third child gave his father a scroll, which was about three feet long when unfolded.

After unfolding it, everyone took a closer look and saw that it was an imitation of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", depicting the entire city of Nanjing with realistic brushwork.

A lot of thought went into this gift. On the right side of the scroll, the Yangtze River is rolling, with sails on the river; on the left side, the Purple Mountain is dyed with dense forests, and the palace is majestic at the foot of the mountain. Between the mountains and rivers lies the majestic city of Nanjing, with bustling downtowns, streets and alleys criss-crossing each other, and row upon row of buildings on both sides, including shops, restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops, banks, brothels, brothels, brothels, bars, tile houses, and stages. , bathhouses, government offices, temples, private houses, etc. are scattered among them.

The streets are bustling with people, traffic, and all kinds of eye-catching signboards. It's a lively scene. When you look carefully, you will find that the picture depicts today's scene - the Tianshou Holy Festival!

The streets were filled with celebratory crowds walking on stilts, rowing land boats, dancing dragons and lions and singing flower-drum opera. The flags they held high clearly read the words "Peace with Elephants", "Holy Life without Borders", "Unification for Ten Thousand Years" and other words .

"This is the "Grand Scenery of Nanjing" painted by my son. Although I tried my best, my ability is limited and I cannot depict the grand scene of Nanjing created by my father. But I still boldly dedicate it to my father. I wish my father a long life and a prosperous Ming Dynasty. Unify for ten thousand years!" Zhu Bian said loudly, clasping his fists.

"Okay, good boy, you have your heart." Zhu Yuanzhang curled his beard and nodded with satisfaction. I don't feel it when I'm in it on weekdays, but today I took a bird's-eye view through this picture. Nanjing City is really beautiful and prosperous.

"Sister, twenty years ago, when we captured Jiqing Road and entered Jinling City, this place was still like this." He said to Queen Ma with endless emotion: "Our country is so beautiful."

"Yes, it's much more prosperous now than it was then." Queen Ma also nodded with emotion.

"Actually, this is our real place of Longxing." Zhu Yuanzhang said involuntarily.

At this moment, he finally let go of his obsession with his hometown and regarded Nanjing as the real capital.

The civil and military ministers in the palace exchanged glances with each other.

They all felt that His Highness the Third Highness was really a person.

This gift is really wonderful. It not only suits the emperor's current mood, but also earns the gratitude of the people of Nanjing.

If His Highness the Sixth Prince hadn't prepared...the telescope for His Highness the Second Highness, this would definitely have been a big deal.
