Nandu, Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Dingwu, who had severe vision, touched the glasses in his hand and hesitated whether to wear them.

This glasses were specially made by Zhou Shixiang for craftsmen to use crystals for Emperor Dingwu. He originally thought there were no glasses in this era, but he didn't expect this thing to have existed as early as the Xuande period, but it was not called glasses, but "王机".

"现小" is expensive, and most of the lenses are made of crystal, which ordinary people cannot afford, so they have not spread among the people, and are only used by high-ranking officials and nobles.

However, although I have glasses, people in this era do not know why "myopia" occurs. Most people treat vision loss as a disease, which makes many myopic patients never think of improving their vision through external objects in their lives.

Emperor Dingwu suffered with his father and brother since childhood. After becoming an adult, he lived a displaced life and was in danger of peace. His malnutrition and fear all year round caused his body to collapse early and his vision also decreased greatly. Therefore, even though his body was treated and recuperated in the past two years, he could never recover. The so-called roots have been damaged, and the symptoms are not cured.

There are rumors outside that the reason why today's son has no descendants is probably the same as that of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, who was chased and caused physical changes.

This rumor was sniffed by some people, but it was also deliberately promoted by some people, because if Zi was Zhao Gou today, who would be Yue Fei? If Yue Fei did not want to end up in the Fengbo Pavilion, would the people sympathize with him?

Zhou Shixiang accidentally explored the reason why Emperor Dingwu had no queen. After knowing that Emperor Dingwu had difficulty seeing things, he thought of myopia glasses, so he specially asked the craftsman to use gold as a frame, grind the lenses with crystal, and sent someone to send him to the palace.

The palace did not dare to neglect the things sent by His Highness King Qi, and the Sili Supervisor Pan Yinglong specially presented the glasses to Emperor Dingwu.

"You said this thing really makes me see clearly?"

Emperor Dingwu was a little suspicious, and even vaguely wondered if this thing would contain any poison needles, but after studying it, he found nothing wrong. Instead, looking at the lens, the image in front of him was so clear. This shocked and curious.

Pan Yinglong said respectfully: "Emperor, I have asked someone for a question. I have had glasses in the palace before, but I asked Ling Yan. It is said that after I put them on, I can really see the external objects clearly. Unfortunately, I didn't bring this thing out of the palace back then, otherwise the emperor would have seen it clearly earlier." The palace that Pan Yinglong said was definitely not referring to Nanjing Imperial City, but Beijing Imperial Palace.

"Oh, this thing has been there before."

Emperor Dingwu nodded, took his glasses and looked at them repeatedly, and finally he had the courage to put them on. He looked up and looked at everything in front of him. In that moment, he suddenly lit a candle in a dark room, which was extremely bright and clear.

"Your Majesty, do you really see clearly?"

Empress Chen and Eunuch Pan stood beside him, looking at Emperor Dingwu with a hint of nervousness in his smile.

Emperor Dingwu stared at the two of them in a daze, feeling unspeakable happiness. It was the first time he had been able to see people so clearly at such a distance.

He clearly saw the white hair on Eunuch Pan's head and wrinkles on his forehead, and also clearly saw Queen Chen's hands that could no longer recover and were covered with calluses.

Alas, it's really a pain in the queen.

Emperor Dingwu thought about the days when Empress Chen accompanied her to suffer over the years, and when she had a little food, she would keep her time tight. Her eyes turned red and her nose felt sore.

Seeing this, Empress Chen thought there was something wrong with the mirror, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked nervously: "Master, what's wrong with this mirror? If it doesn't work, don't wear it."

"I can see clearly, but I feel a little dizzy."

Emperor Dingwu calmed down. To be honest, his eyes could see clearly, but he felt a little uncomfortable and dizzy in his head.

Pan Yinglong knew what was going on and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, maybe it's okay. This is a normal reaction after wearing glasses. It's okay after a long time."

"Yeah, I understand."

Emperor Dingwu took off his glasses, looked at the mirror and murmured: "This is a good thing, but he is not a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Empress Chen and Pan Yinglong were stunned. Who was the emperor's words "he" and how did they not know.

"Longqian is afraid of shocking the sky, so I will take a break and leapt in the abyss; wait for the gathering of wind and clouds to gather and stabilize the world. Humph, he still revealed his true face. Fortunately, I really believed that he was not the second Sun Kewang, and I wanted to work with his monarch and ministers to restore the capital in the Northern Expedition, leaving behind an eternal story of the monarch and ministers."

When Emperor Dingwu thought of the anti-poem written by Zhou Shixiang in his early years, he felt more and more depressed. In anger, he threw his glasses in a corner of the imperial case and almost fell to the ground.

"I don't need thieves, you can return it to me!"

Queen Chen sighed inwardly, carefully put her glasses in her hand, and winked at Pan Yinglong.

The latter hurriedly stepped forward and advised, "The emperor, the anti-poem may not be written by the King of Qi. As far as the old slave knows, the person whose poem is signed is a man named Hong Xiuquan."

Emperor Dingwu shook his head: "Eunuch Pan, you don't have to say good things about him. When I was in Guangzhou, General Wang Xing told me that Zhou Shixiang had visited a village called Jintian in Guangxi."

Upon hearing this, Pan Yinglong didn't know what to say, because he knew that the anti-poem was indeed written by Zhou Shixiang. Combined with the recent news outside, Zhou Shixiang's visit to Beijing this time is probably not just to marry His Royal Highness the Princess.

Emperor Dingwu was a little annoyed and forced himself to hold up his sick body. After walking back and forth in the hall for a few steps, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The King of Jin has returned to China. Do you think I can send someone to contact him? And the King Shun always thinks about the relationship between the emperor's brother? Although I agreed to the constitutional reform mentioned by Master Guo Ge, Zhou Shi was willing to do this step if he wanted more, I couldn't really give in to the country and country left by his ancestors. No matter what, I always have to give in. In this way, if I die, I can always go to see Emperor Taizu with peace of mind."

"this!"

Pan Yinglong was secretly frightened, but he finally nodded: "Don't worry, the old slave will arrange this matter."

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!"

Empress Chen is already disgraceful. If Zhou Shixiang knew that the emperor secretly sent someone to contact King Heshun of Jin, what would he react? King Heshun of Jin is really willing to raise troops to support the Ming Dynasty and rebel against the Taiping Army?

Queen Chen didn't want her husband to take risks. If the matter could be decided by her, she would rather her husband than be the emperor.

Emperor Dingwu did not listen to Empress Chen's advice. He said with a dark face, "You go to Changle, she will get married soon. There are some things that I am an uncle cannot come forward, and I am not inconvenient to tell her, and I have to ask you, an aunt, to arrange for her. Oh, tell Changle for me that my uncle is sorry for her."
