The large-scale snow disaster across the country and the bandit disaster on the northwest border have made this year not good. The first day of the new year is as usual, but the ladies and ladies of the rank are exempted from entering the palace to pay New Year's greetings. However, on the third day of the new year, Liuli was still called into the palace.

She doesn't have an order, she doesn't need to wear makeup, she just needs to dress well. The external rhetoric is that Concubine Cui Shufei asked her to enter the palace to speak, and others only said that the future mother-in-law would knock and beat her daughter-in-law as usual, but Liuli knew what was going on, so she was not as vigilant as she was when she entered the palace a few times before, and went calmly.

was introduced into the Jinyun Palace, and after a strong bow, it was not surprising that Liuli saw the current emperor Xiao Zuo. Unexpectedly, Jiu Lang was also there, quietly sitting on Xiao Zuo's side with Cui Shufei, looking like a happy family.

Liuli's heart tightened.

Since the last time he made it clear that he didn't want to marry Jiulang, the two haven't met again, and they haven't communicated with each other. She wasn't actually nervous about the emperor's reaction, because Zhilu Daojiuro wouldn't divulge the matter until he made a decision and informed her. At present, her repentance is limited to three people: she, Jiulang, and Eleven.

The bad bamboo shoots are good, and the pair of Xiao Zuo and Cui Shufei actually gave birth to a gentleman. Either because Concubine Cui Shu's previous children died, or because Xiao Zuo himself was full of blood, although Jiulang had witnessed a lot of dirty palace intrigues since he was a child, he enjoyed the most orthodox education and the most domineering protection.

He, ambitious. He is not stained with dust. He has the ability to govern the country, and he will be the best ruler of success. But he can't control the troubled times. And the Great Zhao Kingdom is singing and dancing on the surface, but the uneasiness and chaos that have been forcibly suppressed will break out sooner or later.

Therefore, long pain is better than short pain, and Jiurou is better to get out early.

Now looking at the expressions and reactions of the emperor and Concubine Cui Shu, I know that Jiulang really didn't say anything to his parents. He is a big man, and he will cry and complain to his parents if he has no problems, but there has been no other reaction for so long. It's also really worrying.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhen twice. I saw that he looked calm, and he still showed a gentle smile to her, but his eyebrows were depressed, and his smile was reluctant, obviously he was acting in front of the two.

Seeing this, Xiao Zuo snorted and said, "It's hard to be for Jiulang these days, and I've been running around for state affairs, and I haven't talked to you well, right?" He looked at Liuli with a pleasant face, "Wait until you're busy for a while." I'll give Jiurou a few more days off, so that you can come for a long time. ”

"Don't say that, Your Majesty, courtier...... The courtier's ......" Ruri blushed.

She was stupid, and she didn't like to say this kind of scene the most, so she held back for a long time before she said, "Although the courtiers are reckless, they have also heard people say: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." A courtier is a useless woman, but she also knows that state affairs are important. If you can't help yourself, it's just that. Breaking it won't hold back. When the emperor said this, it can torment the courtiers. However, she reacted like shyness and eagerness. On the contrary, it was just right, which made Xiao Zuo deeply satisfied.

Cui Shufei naturally couldn't get used to seeing Liuli's sacred heart, and urged on the side, "Okay, okay." It's just that the juniors talk back and forth, and the emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he has been so busy these days that he hasn't slept much. Hurry up and ask her about business, right? It sounds like he cares about Xiao Zuo's body, but it exudes a sense of boredom and resentment.

Xiao Zuo's expression sank, and he was annoyed in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to call Liuli in the name of Concubine Cui Shu, he would have wanted to be cold to her for a while. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he was unhappy, and when he heard this, he still blamed him for going to see the moon concubine, but he didn't come to coax her. has been married for thirty years, but there has never been a moment when she feels that she is so ignorant. What about the subtle thoughtfulness of youth? What about the determination to advance and retreat together? Why is it all of a sudden gone!

But now that he is worried about internal and external troubles, he can't care about distractions in other matters, so he only said to Liuli gently, "I asked you to come to the palace for nothing else, I heard that the Cao Gang has a kind of boat that can be dismantled from the middle." Although the Cao Gang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it also has a rudder in the north, and it is said that there is also a kind of ice boat? ”

Liuli showed a surprised look and said, "The emperor has also heard of this?" ”

In fact, on the morning of the first day of the new year, Xiao Shiyi sent someone to send her a New Year's gift, and he had already quietly written a letter to reveal the matter. It's just that at this point she had to put on a show. Recalling that there were many extinct fruits on the market when Xiao Shiyi sent them, I don't know how they were preserved. She gave him a few dates, and he gave it back like this, what did this imply to her?

Recalling this, her mind fluttered a little, but fortunately, she quickly pulled it back.

"It's all made up by the low-level gangsters themselves, because they don't dare to guarantee that it is very safe, and there are no detailed drawings, so they didn't report it to the official ship. But they were all converted from their own old ships, and there was absolutely no violation. Ruri hurriedly waved her hand.

Although Xiao Zuo is old, he still has a smile on his handsome face, "Don't be afraid, I don't mean to accuse." On the contrary, it is necessary for the Cao Gang to make new contributions. The stakes are very high, I can't just find someone to ask, but your brother is trapped in Jiangnan by the heavy snow and can't come back, so I have to come to ask you. Anyway, you are the eldest lady of the Cao Gang, even though you are pampered, you have also seen it. Let's talk about what's going on? ”

Liuli thought for a while, "I heard my brother say that although there are many waterways in Dazhao, and several Grand Canals were dug in the previous dynasty to connect the north and south, but if you want to send grain and all kinds of baggage to Tokyo, you must save time and reduce loss to the greatest extent, and you have to pass through many places where the water surface is very narrow, the water flow is rapid, or the detour is difficult. At that time, the only way to do this was to dump the goods from the big ships onto the small ships and separate them. Or transport it ashore, take a land route, and then turn to a waterway, which is a great waste of manpower, material resources and time. Later, our veteran boatmen who had been working in the boat for decades improved the design of the boat that could be disassembled from the middle. In this way, the boat can be split in two, and then connected after that section of the water. As for the ice boats, they were actually for the purpose of serving the merchants who trafficked in big business in the winter, and it was difficult to transport the goods that came and went from the north to the south before and after the Chinese New Year. However, I also heard from my brother that the slender man who pulls the fiber on the shore is very hard, it is not a human job, and he has to sweat when he pulls the boat naked in winter. Therefore, we always give them the highest price. "Working people are the most pitiful, so they must be taken care of!

As she spoke, Xiao Zuo listened carefully and nodded incessantly, "Hiding wisdom from the people, this is not true at all." These are all ingenious methods that the people think of when they are working. My ministers sit in the court every day, how can they know? Now, I've gained a lot of knowledge. However, Shui Shi Qiao is so benevolent and righteous, it is no wonder that the reputation of the Cao Gang among the people is so high. ”

He praised him like this, and he was scared half to death for others, and when he meant something, he thought that Cao Gang was powerful, but Liuli only sneered in his heart.

Xiao Shiyi is not bad, this dog emperor is going to enter their urn. As long as he recruits militia on the northwest border, he uses the old generals of the Huo family army as a shield. and let the Cao Gang transport military supplies, so that the veterans of the Huo family army, who had long been scattered among the people, could reunite and train a new Huo family army. At the same time, Huo Jiajun and the Cao Gang also established a relationship in the name of righteousness. In that way, even if Xiao Zuo orders the disbandment after the "bandits" are eliminated, he can train into a soldier who can come and fight when he comes, and the connection with the inland Cao Gang cannot be cut off casually. Xiao Zuo thought that Huo Jiajun had lost his cohesion, but he didn't know that she had other chips in her hands. Absolutely important chips.

Next, Xiao Zuo asked a few more details, and Liuli answered them one by one. Liuli spoke clearly and generously. Xiao Zuo was very satisfied, praised a few words between his words, and rewarded some palace silks. However, she is still in the filial piety period, and the color is mostly plain.

"Waiting for you to marry Jiurou. I have another gift. Xiao Zuo smiled and said, "I also asked Jiu Lang yesterday, and he said that you should keep your filial piety for three years. The date of the wedding is not too busy to set. You are so chaste and filial, I really didn't read it wrong, and the time will definitely let you marry beautifully. ”

"Xie Lu, Emperor Xie." Ruri hurriedly fell to her knees again, her head slammed on the ground, but she didn't dare to look at Jiurou.

It turned out that Xiao Zuo had privately asked them about their marriage, and he didn't completely ignore it. I just don't know what kind of mood Jiurou was in at that time? She was sorry for him, she was destined to be indebted in this life. There are some feelings that cannot be repaid at all.

Cui Shufei pouted secretly on the side, both dissatisfied and disdainful. She didn't understand, how could this reckless girl be like a plaster, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't help her son get rid of it? Seeing that no matter in the matter of the pirates in Dongjin Mansion, as well as in the matter of the snow disaster and bandits, Jiulang is outstanding, but King Jing Xiaozhong is mediocre, if it is not for the disadvantage in terms of his wife, Jiulang will definitely be crowned prince in the future. It's simply ...... It's so damning!

She was dissatisfied, so when she heard that Xiao Zuo asked Xiao Zhen to send Liuli out of the palace, she said, "It's not that I haven't entered the palace, and I let my Langjun personally send it back and forth before I got married, spoiling the children and making the subordinates see that they are not in a proper manner." Besides, when the concubine went down the steps yesterday, she fell and injured her shoulder. ”

Before Xiao Zuo could speak, Xiao Zhen said, "It's okay." Liuli is a filial person, and his sons can't be resigned to others. He was a little joking, but his eyes were very stiff, "According to Erchen, it is more dignified to let the people around my father lead the way." "You must know that unless you are an important minister, others can't afford to work for the emperor's personal person.

Liuli was gloomy: He didn't want to see her alone.

Cui Shufei was very happy, thinking that her son still took a fancy to her as a mother, and no matter how much she liked Liuli, she couldn't go beyond her, so she was helping on the side. Xiao Zuo just showed favor to Liuli, and when he saw that the mother and son were like this, he didn't insist, and instructed Hong Changzhi to send Liuli according to his words.

"Is the dog alright?" Hong Changzhi and Liuli left the palace one after another, and when they walked through the wide square in front of the palace, Hong Changzhi asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, if you say what you say, our Cao Gang will talk about it." After thinking about it, he added in a low voice, "His body has almost recuperated, and now he is by Shaoguang's side." ”

Hong Changzhi paused, and his eyes flashed with excitement, but he was soon forced to retreat. He knows very well who Shake Light is, and with Shake Light, the dog will also be a person on that side of the land in the future.

No one noticed that there was such a secret conversation between these two seemingly unrelated people. No one could have expected that the Cao Gang, a gang in the rivers and lakes, could stretch out its hands so long that it was right under the nose of today's son.
