Chapter 588: People with no other options
Ministry of Works Camp.
The atmosphere in the Ministry of Works camp has been somewhat depressing recently.
During breaks in work, almost everyone would turn their heads and look in the same direction.
And in that direction, there was only one person, and this person never stopped moving. It seemed that he was a role model for the entire camp.
Logically speaking, it is not abnormal that the role model is more dedicated and passionate about work than them.
But the problem is that this person is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zheng.
Everyone in the Ministry of Works camp knew what had happened in the Zhao Mansion recently.
As the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zheng is still like this...
Everyone was worried that Zhao Zheng couldn't accept it in his heart, so he continued to work so frantically.
Is it the intention to focus all attention on research to escape the inner collapse?
"Master Wang, if this continues, Master Zhao's health will be in trouble. Please go up and try to persuade him."
So Dongning Earl Tao Wan was pushed by his craftsmen, and he couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He was afraid that Zhao Zheng would have health problems, so he finally became the first one.
He immediately went to see the Minister of Works, Wang Zheng.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zheng, who was always in a good mood, was not in a good mood this time: "Why don't you go yourself?"
"this......"
In this situation, who would dare to go?
Even you, the Minister of Works Wang Zheng, didn't dare to step forward and say a word of advice at this time, let alone Tao Wan.
But Tao Wan did not give up just like that.
I don't dare to go up and persuade Zhao Zheng, but can't I persuade you, Wang Zheng, more?
"Then Lord Wang, we can't just do nothing."
"Lord Zhao has never hidden anything from us in the Ministry of Works. He has taught us everything through words and deeds. If..."
"Wait, wait, don't worry, I've already found a doctor..."
"..."
Seeing that Tao Wan was firing on all cylinders, he looked as if he would just keep talking if Wang Zheng didn't move.
Wang Zheng was afraid that if he continued listening, he would become a shameless person, so he finally gave in.
But the angry look on his face just now was instantly ruined.
He could only awkwardly avoid the shock and speechlessness in Tao Wan's eyes.
It turned out that he was just pretending. In fact, Wang Zheng cared more about Zhao Zheng's health than anyone else.
The speechless Tao Wan also noticed that Wang Zheng, who had always been steady in his writing, now wrote crookedly on the drawings.
"Then I have to do something."
After being conferred the title of Earl of Dongning, Zhao Zheng also taught him a lot of knowledge related to first aid, so that he would have more respect for life and do less stupid things that would lead to his death.
Now, in Tao Wan's view, it is time to give back.
With his ability and knowledge, coupled with his expertise as an imperial physician, Tao Wan felt much more at ease.
But while some people feel at ease, others feel upset.
......
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao has been conducting research over there, and we can't disturb him."
"Did our Lord Zhao say anything to you?"
"Lord Zhao only comes to us when he needs us to verify something, and he only talks about research. We..."
For example, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is very irritable now.
After hearing the answers from the Ministry of Industry, I became even more annoyed.
He didn't expect that his troubles didn't decrease because he had been upset enough recently. On the contrary, a big one came directly.
"What research?"
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves fiercely, trying to dispel the anger in his heart.
But surrounded by officials from the Ministry of Industry and watched by eyes full of hope.
He didn't know how to start the conversation at first, so he could only go along with what was said.
After taking two steps, he stopped.
The officials present were all smart people, and they naturally figured out in an instant why the emperor didn't find Zhao Zheng first, and their brows were deeply furrowed.
Emperor, is there nothing you can do?
“Broaching.”
"Broaching?"
"Correct."
"..."
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea how to start a dialogue with Zhao Zheng. He tried to start from the research aspect, but he only ended up in confusion.
What is broaching?
What is the function of broaching?
It wasn't until he saw a Sun and Moon Dynasty version of the baton that he got a clue.
"Rubber with steel pipe?"
"If it were longer and had a spear head added, wouldn't it become a long-lasting and durable magical weapon?"
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have found a point of entry and it felt very reasonable.
Until he noticed the hesitation on the face of the official next to him.
"The application direction we thought of is wrong? No problem, explain it in detail!"
"In terms of studying things, we are not as good as the students of the Academy of Sciences."
In recent years, agronomy has become the last thing that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on besides his words.
He thought that at least he was good at farming. Even if he couldn't be on par with Zhao Zheng, he could at least be comparable to him.
"Broaching can be applied in many areas, and your majesty's idea of application is correct."
But the emperor said it didn't matter, so how could his ministers dare to listen?
They were just surprised in their hearts that the emperor could actually say these two words. It seemed that the emperor really paid special attention to their Minister Zhao.
"Then does our Lord Zhao need any help from the court?"
This sentence then confirmed the inner thoughts of everyone present.
Take the considerate route?
However, this road may be of great use to them, but that is Zhao Zheng, Lord Zhao.
"..."
The scene fell silent.
A little further away, the Minister of Works Wang Zheng finally arrived.
For some reason, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The emperor has no other options, so it's up to these ministers to think about it. If they can't share the emperor's worries, it's the fault of these ministers.
The emperor needs to maintain his authority. When facing incompetent subordinates, he must come up with his own plans. If he cannot, he will feel that his majesty is damaged.
But the problem is that neither side has any solution now.
It’s just right that Wang Zheng is here.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came quietly on his own and did not let anyone know. People were afraid of disturbing Zhao Zheng and did not want to make anyone know.
But Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang still narrowed his eyes.
Even though he believed that everyone close to Zhao Zheng was stigmatized as high-risk, especially Wang Zheng, the head of the Ministry of Industry.
But he didn't want to have the feeling that the situation was out of his control again.
In particular, the central figure of the incident is Zhao Zheng.
Thinking of Zhao Zheng’s possible reaction, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang felt inexplicably cold.
"His Majesty!"
"My dear, be quiet! Tell me quickly, is there any way to make Zhao Aiqing feel better?"
With no other options, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang chose to follow his heart.
When Wang Zheng approached, he went straight to meet him. However, it was this action that made him notice Tao Wan in the corner.
And a group of imperial doctors.
Wang Zheng's face was covered in cold sweat and he wanted to explain quickly.
Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's heart had already turned cold.
The atmosphere at the scene also completely cooled down.
It was so cold that suddenly there was no sound.
Even Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel the drop in temperature.
This made him a little confused.
Until a figure stepped on his foot, and it turned out that someone else was approaching.
"What are you doing here?"
"His Majesty?"
"My dear!!!"
