Volume 8 Thunder in the Daytime Chapter 62 Kuntou
The capital of Taiye is three grids in the south, where ordinary people live.
The southwest corner of the south three grids, north of Wicker Lake, south of Luoxia Bay. The people here rely on the waterways on both sides, boats come and go, fish and shrimp are full of fish, and they are very comfortable.
Speaking of this Luoxia Bay, it is the most famous deep-water bay under the jurisdiction of the capital of Taiye Country, with abundant products all year round, and the sea is set in Boning, and it is safe to enter and exit. This is thanks to the fact that there are two peaks at the mouth of the sea, which keep the wind and waves out of the fjord, and whether it is a strong wind or a torrential downpour, as long as the ship enters the bay, it is safe.
In the early morning of this day, the larger fishing boats have already gone out to sea early to fish, leaving only some small fishing boats to catch some shellfish in the bay, and the people on the boats are picking oysters on the rock wall, laughing and talking to each other, so ominous.
Suddenly, the water along the beach receded two or three feet in an instant, as if it had been sucked away by a mirage, and in the blink of an eye, it surged back with a small wave, pushing the boat near the sea almost overturned. The fishermen are all weather-hardened people, and the wood pulp in their hands was flicked a few times to stabilize the hull of the boat. But everyone was shocked in their hearts, and there was such a big wave for no reason, it was not a typhoon coming.
Looking up at the sky again, the sun is rising, and the clouds are idle, how can there be signs of a typhoon. At this moment, a child suddenly pointed to the mouth of the fjord at the corner and shouted: "Grandpa, look! It's huge! It's huge! ”
Everyone looked down and saw a huge shadow first appear behind the peak of the bay mouth, covering almost the entire bay mouth, followed by a huge ship half a mountain high. The hull is as black as ink, the ship is full of artillery, and the whole ship is like a majestic city. The child's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the giant ship and shouted, "Look, grandpa, the big ship has given birth to a small boat!" ”
Everyone was already dumbfounded, and when they heard the child's shout, they saw a hole in the belly of the giant ship, and more than a dozen ships were rowed out of it, as if they had been born. It can be said that it is a small boat, and each one is as tall as a building of three or four stories.
The old man who was called grandpa suddenly burst into tears with excitement and exclaimed, "This is ...... This is the Kuntou ship! I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect to see it again in my life. ”
The child was puzzled: "What is the Kuntou ship?" ”
"The shipbuilding skills of the Bihai Kingdom are famous all over the world, but even so, only this one was built. The last time Grandpa saw it, he was about the same age as you. It's been 40 years, it's really a dream of life......"
"But...... What is such a big ship doing here? Is it to catch big, big fish? ”
The old man couldn't help laughing: "This ship is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Office, and it patrols the southern region all the year round, keeping the southern border safe, and it is easy not to come to the national capital." If it comes, it must be the Governor of Southern Xinjiang in person. ”
"Grandpa, you said that you also saw this big ship last time, and it was also the governor of southern Xinjiang?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The last time I got off the boat, it was not the governor of Southern Xinjiang, but His Majesty the Second Emperor Ming. That year, there were people in the imperial city who rebelled, she happened to be on the southern tour, and after learning the news, she took the Kuntou ship with the warriors of the Baisha Battalion to kill back, and the old things of decades ago really seemed like just yesterday. ”
The bloody past, but the child was excited to hear it, and hurriedly asked, "Then grandpa, what is the governor here for this time?" ”
The old man laughed: "How can we, the ordinary people, know this?" As he spoke, he sighed and said to himself, "But...... Looks like something big is going to happen......"
On the Fuxing platform, the condensation of the night in the Chenglu plate outside the Yingze Hall has not yet dissipated, Zhu Zhiling has put on a plain single dress and sat on the long case to review the chapter, and the green silk of his body is scattered behind his back, which looks charming and moving. Zhao Wuyin walked around from the side hall, took the plate in the maid's hand, motioned for her to go down first, and quietly took it over and put it on the table.
Zhu Zhiling looked up and saw that it was her husband, and smiled: "Why are you." ”
"I woke up and found that you were up, why did you sleep so little?"
"There have been a lot of trivial matters recently, and I dragged on a lot last night, so I remembered that I had already approved all these excerpts." Zhu Zhiling picked up the tea cup and took a sip, frowned and said, "Why don't you have half a taste of tea?" ”
"You are three months pregnant, how can you drink these strong teas every day? So I ordered them to change the water, and if you want to drink it, you must wait until the afternoon has eaten before drinking. ”
In this palace, except for the mother queen, only the man in front of her can take care of her. Zhu Zhiling snorted meekly, and the majesty of the usual day could not be seen on the face of the unpowdered delicacy, but there was a little knowing smile.
At this time, a guard suddenly rushed to outside the hall, and reported urgently:
"Your Highness, the guards of the southern city have come to report that the Kuntou ship of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion has docked at Luoxia Bay this morning."
With a "bang", the tea cup in Zhu Zhiling's hand was placed heavily on the table before he could take a few sips.
"Kuntou? Can you see that? As soon as the words came out, I felt a little redundant. With such a huge ship, how can it be bad.
"There is no doubt that it is the Kuntou ship, and after the anchor is dropped, ten Sparrow Ships and two Tiger Head Ships have been released from the ship, all of which have docked on the shore." The guards spoke clearly and unambiguously.
Zhu Zhiling pondered for a moment, her face was happy, and she muttered, "It's Liu Mingyan who has arrived." ”
Zhao Wuyin heard this, and snorted coldly: "The governor of Southern Xinjiang has such a big pomp, I said that she came by land, but I didn't expect her to come on the Kuntou ship, and she made such a big move." You can't get used to these rampant behaviors, why are you still happy today? ”
Zhu Zhiling was obviously in a good mood, and she didn't care about her husband's ridicule, she only smiled and left a sentence: "I'll talk to you later." Then he turned to the attendant and said,
"Probe again, Governor Ruoliu will report back to the gate of Taiye City! Call the Iron Flower! ”
The attendant turned around and walked quickly, and after a while, Tiehua stepped into the hall.
I saw that Zhu Zhiling had changed into court clothes, applied a thin grease and nodded Zhu Lip and sat on the hall, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, and the Pisces gold silk crown on the top was as bright as a flower.
Seeing that Tiehua arrived, Feng Yin turned around and said in a loud voice:
"General Chenglang Tiehua listens to orders! Before the time, the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry would enter the Liufang Gate to come to Fuxingtai and let the two pass. After the time, Liu Mingyan, the governor of southern Xinjiang, will also enter the Liufangmen to meet her, and after she enters, she will immediately block the passage between the Liufangmen and the Qinxin Gate. After the hour, His Majesty and Princess Yinquan will come to Fuxingtai, and after His Majesty steps out of the Yongjin Gate, he will block the Yongjin Gate. At this point, the passage between the three gates was all blocked, and everyone in the city was not allowed to move unless I personally gave the royal card. Before sunset today, idle people are not allowed to approach Fuxingtai. ”
Tiehua led the party to withdraw from the hall, and Zhu Zhiling had already shouted loudly:
"Where is the history of Fuxing? Immediately announce that the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry will go to Fuxingtai to discuss matters before the time, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"Where is the head of Yingze Palace? Immediately took my letter to the Peiguo Mansion, saying that today I am busy with government affairs in Fuxingtai, and I ask Peiguo Gong to preside over the opening ceremony of the newly built granary outside the city. ”
"Come on, hang the Jingzheng card outside the hall......"
Zhao Wuyun looked at Fang Cai's green silk and Yan Yuyi's wife, who was completely like an emperor, dazzling and extremely accurate, giving one order after another.
After everyone took the order and left, Zhao Wuyun looked at his wife and breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the chair with his waist up, and said "ouch" softly.
"You have such a strong mind, no one can compare. It seems that you have been prepared for today's events, and you will hear about it. ”
Zhu Zhiling replied with a smile: "How many days have you and I waited until today, how dare I slack off." Since the day my little sister came back from Nanhua Island, I have been thinking about this moment all the time. You also heard it just now, Liu Mingyan had already landed at the shore in the morning. I know her character best, she is cautious and never aggressive. Before, I was worried that she would not want to come, but today, since she came in such a big formation as the Kuntou ship, she must be confident, and she is bound to win Lu Wenchi, and I am not worried that she will give up. After speaking, he smiled and said, "Otherwise, she would not be Liu Mingyan." ”
"How do you know her so well?"
"I've been a classmate with her for several years, how can I not know her character?"
Zhao Wuyin said strangely: "I am also a classmate with you, why haven't I seen her?" ”
"Her mother is the lord of Qinglan, married to the son of the prince of Liguo, and her husband died after the lord of Qinglan gave birth to her, and she was widowed early. Later, the mother emperor saw that her mother was too young to bear it, and a few years later, it happened that the governor of southern Xinjiang lost his wife, so she asked her mother to remarry Liu Zhan, the governor of southern Xinjiang. So Ming Yan quit Taixue and followed her mother to southern Xinjiang. You are the Taixue Academy that your uncle transferred back to the capital of Taiye Country, and Ming Yan had just left at that time. ”
"No wonder I don't know." Zhao Wuyun suddenly realized.
"I heard that Liu Zhan treats her mother and daughter very well, especially Ming Yan, as her own. Ming Yan was also grateful, so she simply changed her surname to Liu. ”
"Then Li Guogong is not dissatisfied?"
"Dissatisfied?" Zhu Zhiling snorted coldly: "At that time, the Liguo Mansion was already weak, and it was not as good as the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion, and there was no reason to climb each other on weekdays. Li Guogong himself lost his son, and when he saw that Ming Yan would probably attack his adoptive father's governorship in the future, it was too late to be happy, where would he be dissatisfied. Liu Zhan only mentioned the matter of conversion one year, and Li Guogong carved a pair of jade seals in the past, with Liu Mingyan sealing. ”
"It can be seen that people's hearts are ......," Zhao Wuyun couldn't help but sigh.
"Do you still have the heart to inquire about other people's old stories? Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the most important thing has to be done by you. Zhu Zhiling scolded her husband, took out a waist card from the wooden box next to the table and handed it to him: "Remember, you must let your aunt lure your mother to Fuxingtai after the end of the day, you must not be mistaken!" ”
Zhao Wuyin took the waist card, tilted his head, and asked, "Auntie, I will arrange it, but I still don't understand your intentions before." ”
Zhu Zhiling sighed and said, "Hengzhu, you can't watch this scene on Fuxingtai, I'll let you listen to it first." ”
