Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

In the dim room, blue-white lightning suddenly lit up, startling Shen Cheng.

The teacher actually created lightning!
"Teacher, you really succeeded!" Shen Cheng cheered loudly.

Yang Xian looked at Shen Cheng who was full of excitement and nodded with a smile.

At this time, Shen Cheng still didn't know what this arc meant to mankind.

Creating lightning is only the first step, and the application of electricity is the real key.

For the application of electricity, the first is electric light.

Since the solid foundation has been laid before climbing the technology tree, there is no problem in making the glass of the light bulb.

As for the tungsten filament in the light bulb, even if tungsten is temporarily difficult to produce, it can be replaced with carbon filament made from baked bamboo.

Wire insulation issues, rubber too.

All the preparations are ready, and there is only one most critical step left to make a light bulb, which is to vacuum.

In later generations, light bulbs were evacuated to prevent oxidation of the light bulb. If the tungsten filament is in direct contact with the air and generates heat, it will easily react with oxygen and burn out.

But now that we use carbon filaments, we don't need to do this. We just need to ensure that the bulb is sealed, and then soak some wax oil in the carbon filaments to consume the oxygen in the bulb.

Yang Xian drew a design drawing for Shen Cheng, and then gave him the job of making light bulbs after explaining to him some details that needed attention.

As for Yang Xian himself, he has other things to do.

East Palace.

"Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are the things to do. This sentence comes from "Warring States Policy·Qin Ceyi", which describes that a truly loyal minister should take it as his duty to fulfill his duties, always consider the emperor, work tirelessly, and serve the emperor loyally. Serve."

"This is also the duty of a minister."

Lu Ben was teaching Zhu Yunwen as usual. Today's lecture was about the way to be a minister.

At this moment, Lu Ben suddenly noticed Mr. Lu outside the house. He glanced at his daughter with a solemn expression, but when he turned to face Zhu Yunwen, his face was filled with smiles.

"Your Highness, review your morning homework by yourself. In the afternoon, sir, I will come to check your results."

"Yes, sir." Zhu Yunwen stood up and bowed respectfully towards Lu Ben.

Lu Ben also returned the gift.

When he turned around and left the house, there was no smile on his face. He stared at his daughter.

"You really want to do this?"

Lu was speechless.

Seeing this, Lu Ben felt a little angry in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You are the crown prince's concubine, and Yun Wen is the emperor's grandson. There are many other ways you can take. Your Majesty is still in the prime of spring and autumn, and there is still a long time. How can you Why rush now, there will definitely be a better choice in the future.”

"Father also said that I am only the crown prince's concubine, and Yun Wen is not the emperor's eldest grandson." Mrs. Lu finally spoke, and she looked directly at Lu Ben. "Father said wait, how long should we wait, ten years, or twenty years? Will there be such a good opportunity at that time?"

"You are gambling, you know, not only yourself, you are gambling with the entire Lu family!" Lu Benwen said angrily.

The woman in front of him is no longer the well-behaved and sensible daughter he used to be, but the concubine of the crown prince of the most powerful empire in the world, the Ming Empire.

The relationship between monarch and minister has long surpassed the relationship between father and son.

Lu Ben should have known earlier.

After listening to Lu Ben's words, Mrs. Lu chuckled softly and said, "I remember my father told me at that time that there are only one or two opportunities in a person's life, and they are fleeting. If you miss it, you will have nothing." Yes. I listened to my father’s words, so I married into the East Palace.”

"Why are you so scared now that you are here with your father? As long as we seize this opportunity, our Lu family will become the most prominent family in the Ming Dynasty, and your status, father, will also skyrocket. I know, father, you are Not satisfied with being a small minister of official affairs." As he spoke, Mrs. Lu glanced at Zhu Yunwen who was studying in the room, and whispered: "And I just want to give the best thing in the world to my son. That’s all.”

After Lu finished speaking, she lowered her head and could not see her expression at this time.

Lu Ben, standing opposite her, was silent.

It was like meeting my daughter for the first time.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chamber of Secrets.

Hu Weiyong sat high on a chair, and the person kneeling below was the special envoy from Japan.

Over the years, Hu Weiyong has maintained close contact with Japan.

Japan's shogun Ashikaga Tagyi was also a careerist, and both parties were just getting what they needed.

"Go back and tell your general that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has come. Xu Da went to sea. He may not be able to come back in five or ten years. At the same time, over the grassland, Zhu Di started the Western Expedition with his army. He led Those who left are all the real elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they will never come back within three to five years. "

"I have already explained to the secret envoys of Siam, Champa State, Luzon State and other countries. When the time comes, they will wait for my order and carry out unified actions." Hu Weiyong said.

"Yes, Lord Xiangguo!" Dong Yingte replied in unfluent Chinese.

After the Japanese envoy left.

Hu Weiyong stood up and opened a secret compartment in the secret room.

I saw a gorgeous dragon robe lying quietly inside. Hu Weiyong reached out and gently touched the dragon robe, and suddenly laughed: "Zhu Chongba, you forced me to do this."

"Princes, generals and ministers, you would rather have the talent. You, a beggar, can sit in the ninth-five position. Why can't I, Hu Weiyong, sit in that position?"

Hu Weiyong had already faintly noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to attack him.

Over the years, through various things, I have seen this matter more clearly.

He even saw the aspect of the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power, and at the same time he also knew that this contradiction was inevitable.

After seeing this, Hu Weiyong knew that if he wanted to protect himself, the only thing he could do was to retire directly like his teacher Li Shanchang did.

Only in this way can we keep a glimmer of hope.

During those days, he was in constant fear, fearing that one day he would be accused and imprisoned.

He racked his brains to find a way to survive, a way to retain power and survive at the same time.

But still can't find a way out.

Until one day, Hu Weiyong heard a report from his servants, saying that stalagmites had grown under his dry well. Everyone thought this was an auspicious sign.

Hu Weiyong suddenly thought about it.

He is now the prime minister of a country. If he wants to be more noble, he can only be on the dragon chair.

In the battle between imperial power and prime minister power, prime minister power will lose, so what if it becomes a battle between imperial power and imperial power.

After the pattern was opened, Hu Weiyong said that he was fearless.

After Zhu Chongba took off his dragon robe, he was just a mud-legged man. Li Shanchang was afraid of him, but I, Hu Weiyong, was not afraid!
Poor Mrs. Lu still had no idea that she had been deceived by Hu Weiyong. (End of chapter)
