Chapter 194: Far Away

"The clouds and temples are swaying, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the spring night is bitter and short, and the king is not early in the dynasty. ”

Although "Song of Long Hatred" is a critical poem, I don't know how many love-hate feelings and hatreds of infatuated children have been written.

Standing by the Wei Bridge, looking at his beloved wife who was holding his arm, with teary eyes and a face full of reluctance, Duan Jian couldn't wait to leave everything behind, so he took her to wander the rivers and lakes, and wandered in the vast sea of clouds, but Meimei thought of the tragedy like the rich curse in her previous life, and this romantic idea was forcibly suppressed by him.

"Brother Duan, can't you just not leave, I... I....I can't bear you, woo woo woo. "Newlyweds are obsessed with each other, but they have to be separated by force, and I am afraid that there is nothing more painful in time than this.

Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Duan Jian raised his head and gently wiped away the tears on his beloved wife's face, and comforted him softly, "As an official of the imperial court, you should obey the arrangements of the imperial court, this is also a matter of no way, but although you can rest assured, it won't take long for you to come back, if you really want me, when I am stable in Hangzhou, I will send someone to pick you up, what do you think." ”

"Then ..... that, then you must rush back as soon as possible, or else......or I will miss you." The innocent Wang Wanjun didn't expect that Duan Jian's words were just to comfort him, but he had already taken it seriously.

"Hahaha, don't worry, what Brother Duan Jian promised you will definitely do, and when the time comes, I will definitely bring you a gift that surprises you, you see how it is." Duan Jian said quite arrogantly.

"Okay, Wanjun, it's time, it's time to let Bufan go on the road, if it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the place to stay at night." Seeing the reluctant appearance of the children, Wang Bingkun on the side could only stand up and urge as a villain.

With Wang Bingkun's urging, even if Wang Wanjun was unwilling, she could only be held by her mother and stand aside.

"The child will say goodbye to his father-in-law, Auntie, Uncle Thirteen, the child left this time, I don't know when I will return, Wanjun will rely on you to take care of it." Looking at Wang Bingkun and the Wang family who came to see each other, Duan Jian said goodbye to them one by one, knelt in front of Wang Bingkun and other elders, kowtowed a few times and said.

"Hey, don't worry, Wanjun has our care, there will be absolutely no accidents, but you, alone, or thousands of miles away, you must be cautious, if there is anything, you must report to me in time, although my father-in-law has no power and power, but my Wang family is not a good person, you can still do it for you to deter some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods." Looking at this Angtang man who was raised by himself since he was a child, who was both a son-in-law and an adopted son, Wang Bingkun said with a sigh.

After saying goodbye, even if Duan Jian and the others were unwilling, they could only endure the discomfort in their hearts and board the boat to Luoyang.

Just as Duan Jian slowly walked onto the boat, and his figure followed the faster and faster boat into the distance, in a place not far from here, in a gorgeous carriage, two pretty faces were also full of sadness at this time.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, that Jane has left, should we go back, if it's too late, it will be known by the Queen of Heaven, and when the time comes, we will all be blamed." If Duan Jian was here, he might be able to see that the person who spoke was Shangguan Wan'er, who was deeply favored by Wu Zetian, and the person she called the princess, not to mention, except for Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping, there was no one else.

"Wan'er, do you say I'm doing this right, I know that he is already married, and I know that it is impossible between me and him, but why can't I forget him, but my thoughts about him will become stronger and stronger, making it difficult for me to fit other people in my heart." Princess Taiping did not answer Shangguan Wan'er's words, but looked at the smaller and smaller black spots on the river surface and muttered to herself.

Hearing Princess Taiping's question, Shangguan Wan'er did not answer, and there was also a sad look on her face that was difficult to decide, as for what she thought in her heart, no one could guess it.

"Infatuated woman Bo Qinglang, I'm afraid this is the most unfair place in God, I know that I like someone I shouldn't like, it's a moth to a fire, but even for the warmth of the blink of an eye, I have to endure the boundless pain, but I pursue that slim opportunity, in fact, how can human power change it. Even if the princess is difficult to forget him, she will have less to do with him in the future, the slave listened to the queen of heaven Niangniang, waiting for a period of time, you will have to choose a horse for the princess, if this matter is known by the queen of heaven, I am afraid it is not good for him, and it will also bring him unnecessary trouble in the future, where to go, I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will think twice. ”

As if it was the reason for sympathy, Shangguan Wan'er changed her previous cautious rules of conduct and revealed the decision that Wu Zetian had not yet made.

Princess Taiping, who was originally full of sadness, heard this, her face was a little more panicked and worried, and after seeing that she couldn't even see the black spots on the river, she waved her hand a little distractedly, swaying in the carriage, thinking about going to the palace.

It is said that in ancient times, it was very difficult to take office, in fact, it is not accurate, the real difficulty in taking office is those remote places, for some places with developed transportation, there is no such dilemma, it stands to reason that the land south of the Yangtze River in the Tang Dynasty is also a slightly remote place, but it is a pity who let the Tang Dynasty meet a good time, there is Emperor Yang of Sui, a famous contractor in history, and this problem was successfully solved in the Tang Dynasty.

Starting from Chang'an, you can sail smoothly along the Wei River to the Yellow River, and then go directly to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and go all the way eastward along the eastern capital Luoyang, cross the Tongji Canal, pass through Huaishui, and go to Hangzhou smoothly by going through the ditch.

As for the place where the Yellow River was originally blocked, some time ago, it was also successfully opened, with a large number of grain ships transported to Chang'an City, those wealthy families who originally still had a glimmer of hope, looked at the granary, the pile of grain like the mountains, completely speechless, except for the wanton price reduction, there is no other way, which also led to this time, the grain price that should have been high has dropped to the lowest point in history, and even cheaper than the harvest months in many times, so that the people of Chang'an City, I got a good chance to take advantage.

As the weather became hotter and hotter, the amount of water in the Wei River also increased a lot, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the trees, buildings and other things on both sides of the Wei River quickly retreating backwards, Duan Jian's depressed feeling because of parting was diluted a lot.

The invention of this kind of boat can be described as a breakthrough, starting from the invention of the boat by the people, to the Tang Dynasty, all rely on oars and sails to make the ship move, but the invention of the car and boat, but the pure oar power has become more flexible and multilateral.

It is rumored that when the crown prince of the dynasty, the old general Liu Renliang, was able to rely on more than 200 warships in the country of sticks to defeat the naval battle of more than 200,000 troops of the Japanese country, relying on the convenient ability of vehicles and ships.

It is precisely because of the convenient nature of this kind of car and boat that during the Tang Dynasty, the car and boat slowly replaced the original cumbersome paddle boat, of course, Duan Jian was not an ordinary car and boat, but a boat specially developed by the imperial court and used to transport grain.

It stands to reason that this kind of boat is not allowed for outsiders to ride privately, but under the greeting of many powerful people, he still successfully boarded the ship transporting grain.

"Lang Jun, the wind and waves on the river are urgent, you better go back to the cabin, if you are sick by the wind, it will not be good." Just as Duan Jian was feeling this rare scenery, a heavy voice sounded from behind him.

Hearing this voice, Duan Jian sighed in his heart, this time Duan Jian went to Hangzhou, originally planned to only bring Le Buping, Duan Shui, Duan Mu, and the four guards sent to him by the Wang family, but he didn't expect that the night before leaving, someone came to the door and wanted to go to Hangzhou with him, it was none other than Zhou Xing, who was known as a cool official in later generations.

For Zhou Xing's request, Duan Jian was not surprised, for people like Zhou Xing who can do anything for power, they are unwilling to give up any opportunity, especially this time, he helped Duan Jian punish those wealthy families in Chang'an City, and became Duan Jian's accomplice in the eyes of those people, so think about it and know that after Duan Jian leaves, what will happen to him, those wealthy families who have suffered losses, although there is no way to deal with Duan Jian, can deal with him as a small person with no background, It's not as simple as grinding an ant.

Besides, on the surface, Duan Jian seems to have been exiled by the imperial court, but Zhou Xing, who knows the inside story, doesn't think so, he knows that Duan Jian left this time just to avoid trouble, and when the disaster is almost over, Duan Jian will still come back, and even be promoted by the queen of heaven Wu Zetian.

On the one hand, it is as difficult as hiding in Chang'an City to cross the street, on the other hand, it is a few years of hard work, but it can be exchanged for a good future, fools know how to choose, besides, Zhou Xing, who has no background, wants to get ahead, it is extremely difficult, he has no choice but Duan Jian's road, in this case, what else can he do if he doesn't follow Duan Jian.

"Zhou Xing, follow me out this time, do you feel wronged, I already told you last night, I traveled this time, it seems that I have been promoted, but in fact I have been degraded, you will suffer a lot of hardships with me, as long as you stay in Chang'an City, I have helped you operate a position of the Zhurate Mansion left and right, the official position is not high, from the position under the nine grades, but no matter how low it is, it is also an official body, with your intelligence and ability, there will always be a day to come out, why follow thousands of miles to the southern miasma?"

Draped in a cloak brought by Zhou Xing, Duan Jian looked at the rippling river and said.

Although Duan Jian's voice was very ordinary, just like the two of them usually talking, Zhou Xing did not answer immediately, but paused before saying, "Back to Lang Jun, to be honest, last night, when Lang Jun said that he wanted to recommend the slave to serve as the halberd of the Zhushu Mansion, the slave was indeed very happy, and he also had a plan to stay in Chang'an City. Later, after thinking about it carefully, the slave still decided to follow Lang Jun and be Lang Jun's dog and horse. ”

"Oh, why is that?" Zhou Xing's words immediately aroused Duan Jian's interest, and he wanted to know very much at this time what this cool official of later generations thought.

Zhou Xing was not surprised by Duan Jian's questioning, as if he had long been ready to be questioned by Duan Jian, so he replied, "First of all, the slave said at the beginning that Lang Jun's future future will be infinite, even if he loses for a while, there will be a chance to make a comeback, follow Lang Jun, one day the slave will get a much better return than an official position from the ninth grade, this idea slave is still very certain to this day." ”

Hearing this, Duan Jian showed a playful look on his face, he was not angry because Zhou Xing spoke so bluntly, and even felt happy because of it, as a person in later generations, Duan Jian had learned a lot about psychology and management.

Of course, Duan Jian understood that there was no such thing in the world as selfless dedication without asking for anything in return, even those servants who served the master faithfully in history were also based on the fact that the master's family was kind to him, and the people who gave benefits for nothing without asking for compensation, except for Bethune, there were only liars.

Because of this, he recognized Zhou Xing's reason in his heart.

Seeing Duan Jian nodding slightly, Zhou Xing also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this time he made up his mind to follow Duan Jian out, hoping to truly get Duan Jian's approval, so as to become Duan Jian's real confidant, and only in this way would he receive the benefits he wanted from Duan Jian.

"Secondly, when I was in Chang'an City, everyone knew that the slave was Lang Jun's person, even if the slave denied it and wanted to vote for someone else, I am afraid no one would dare to accept it, in this case, why should he make that kind of contemptible, it is better to follow Lang Jun's side, even if he does nothing, he can leave a good name." Zhou Xing continued.

For this, Duan Jian just chuckled and didn't approve, he knew that Zhou Xing's real reason was that Zhou Xing was afraid that without his support, he would be retaliated against by those wealthy families, and after weighing the pros and cons, he followed him out, if Zhou Xing really found another backer, it is still unknown whether he will follow him now.

It's a pity that Duan Jian didn't explain this, just like Zheng Banqiao said, 'it's rare to be confused', sometimes it's not a bad thing to be confused, maybe it will bring about some good changes.
