The highest form of loyalty and patriotism that the ancients talked about is to sacrifice one's life for the king. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Kai used to think that these things were a bit illusory, but this was not the case with their Xie family back then, but they still relied on the king's last word.

So when he said these words, Wang Kai actually felt very sad in his heart.

Song Yi looked at Wang Kai and said, "Since according to Zhuangyuanlang, what should we do now?"

At this time, the sun was about to set, and Wang Kai in this southwest border city also saw a burst of vicissitudes in the northwest.

"I heard that Zhuang Yuanlang had served in the northwest before, and he always hoped that one day he could go to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to have a look. ”

There was a hint of expectation in Song Yi's eyes, Wang Kai couldn't help but smile, and said: "There will be a chance, what we want to do now is to wait, there is a big event about to happen, as long as this matter is over, our affairs will really begin, and the court will give us a lot of help at that time." ”

"Then I'm waiting for good news. ”

What Wang Kai didn't know at this time was that the key to all this was on his wife, and at this time, Gu Juan was sitting on the big boat leading to Weihaiwei with that important piece of evidence in his arms.

Along the way, Zhang Tianfu was really chattering, if it weren't for Gu Juan who had been with this person for a long time, he would definitely suspect that this guy had a different mind for the confrontation.

It's just that after many observations, I realized that this guy is just missing a string in his head, but he is very compatible with guys like Xu Wenchang.

The boat sailed for a month, and the road was calm, but I always listened to the sailors on the ship discuss things about the Japanese invaders.

In the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the land attacked by the Japanese invaders all the year round, but after Taizu set a ban on sails not entering the sea, it was better, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, due to the serious situation of land annexation in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the landless farmers began to go to sea, and many families began to organize private seas, and now the coast is a bone that cannot be gnawed.

However, no matter how powerful this widow is, he doesn't dare to rob this official's boat, so Gu Juan is still very safe, and it is precisely because of this that she chooses to take the boat.

Gu Juan has to come to this cabin every morning to watch the sunrise, and the scenery is exceptionally cool and beautiful.

It's just that every time at this time, Zhang Tianfu will come over to talk to Gu Juan, Gu Juan is very reluctant to talk to this guy who is full of running trains, at Xu Wei's wedding banquet at that time, this guy is still very normal, why has it changed so much now.

Zhang Tianfu didn't seem to see Gu Juan's ugly face, and said to Gu Juan: "If the container method proposed by Madame before is applied to sea transportation, it will definitely be a hundred times better than river transportation. ”

Gu Juan naturally knew these things, this sea ship was extremely huge, and it was naturally much better than the small boats in the rivers and lakes, but at this time, didn't the imperial court still have an explicit order saying that they were not allowed to go to sea?

Zhang Tianfu saw what Gu Juan meant this time, and he hurriedly said: "But Madame should also know that the families in the land of these two rivers are more or less involved in a lot of these businesses. ”

"What Mr. said is right, but if the imperial court does not allow it, no matter how powerful the private business is, it is useless. ”

"It's all money, it's useless. ”

"The imperial court has collected a little tax, and most of the people who do these things are wealthy families, and they have little to do with ordinary people, which will only cause the gap between the rich and the poor in society to increase, which is not a good thing for the country and the people. ”

Zhang Tianfu frowned and thought, there are some things they actually know, but if they say it, it will not be good, this rule that does not allow a piece of sail to go to sea is a clan system.

"Clan, ancestor. ”

When the two were talking, an old man's voice suddenly came in, Gu Juan suddenly became curious, turned his head to look, and saw an old man with white hair standing behind the two, Zhang Tianfu saw this old man, I was suddenly a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "The junior has seen Mr. Sun." ”

Gu Juan didn't know who this Mr. Sun was, but he still followed Zhang Tianfu to make a junior salute to him.

The old man smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, the old man just heard that the two seemed to be talking about shipping." ”

"Exactly. This Tianfu's eyes were extremely hot, but it made Gu Juan wonder for a while, who is this old man.

"It's quite incisive when it comes to it. ”

"The gentleman praised it falsely. After Zhang Tianfu was humble for a while, the old guy left, and Gu Juan hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zhang, who is this?"

"It's a teacher that Xu Wei and I had when we were young, and we haven't seen each other for many years, and Mr. Sun is an official in Yunnan, so I guess I'm going to return to Beijing to report on my work these days. ”

"I see. At this time, Gu Juan also felt very strange in his heart, which was a bit too coincidental.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Gu Juan was about to go to bed, he obviously felt that the boat was a little bumpy, maybe it was too windy and rough outside, Gu Juan even faintly heard thunder, it seemed that he had encountered a thunderstorm.

However, this ship is so large, naturally there will be no problems, so Gu Juan went to sleep with confidence, and sure enough, when he went to the deck in the morning, the sea was as calm as a mirror under the empty sky, and only seagulls gathered.

It's just that Gu Juan saw a big ship not far away half-sunk in the sea, and there seemed to be some people standing on it, looking very critical.

Gu Juan hurriedly called someone to come, and drove the boat in before rescuing the person.

This ship is a merchant ship that has gone out to sea, and if it is on the surface, this ship is going to see the officials.

But in this place, people who can do this kind of thing naturally have some connections at home. A boatload of people suffered heavy losses, and the most important thing was that the young master of the master who went to sea was sick on this sea.

This person knew that if he contracted this disease at sea, if he did not rush back to land in time, he would probably have to see Lord Yama in a few days.

This young master of the main family is the nephew of Xu Jie's family, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and for the sake of Xu Shangshu's thin side, this official ship is also going to dock in Taicang.

If Gu Juan hadn't seen this Mr. Sun, he would naturally be ready to go all the way to Jingshi, but these days, Gu Juan always felt as if someone was staring at her, so Gu Juan decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go back to Taicang, and after returning to Taicang, go to find the Xu family.

If it weren't for this Xu family's cousin young master this time, Gu Juan would have almost forgotten about this low-key Shangshu master.

After Yan Song took over the palace university, Xu Jiejie was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

I heard that Xu Shangshu and Yan Ge Lao have a very good relationship, and Yan Ge Lao has repeatedly praised this one in front of Jiajing.
