Chapter 83 Northern Qinhuai

……

Despite the bloody storm on the battlefield thousands of miles away, there is still a thriving and peaceful scene in the capital. The capital is the place where the most strange things happen. More than a month ago, the emperor cut off the heads of more than 130 grain merchants who had deceived the monarch in the downtown area. It didn't take long for almost no one to mention it between the tea shops and wineries.

Whether it is the news transmitted back from the front-line army headquarters, or the secret folds of Zhao Zhe's Jinyi Guard's secret agent. All of them show that the battle to exterminate the mob, which cannot even be called a battle, has declared a great victory. The rest of the work is just the end, the pursuit and extermination of the remnants of the mob. Under the dragnet tactics of the local guards in various provinces, they are fully capable of packing up the vast majority of the remnants of the army in Henan and Shandong.

It can also be seen that Da Zhao's country has not completely rotted to the roots. At least, those famous ace legions in the Beijing Division still have some combat effectiveness.

It's hot summer, so it's a little cooler at night. Zhao Zhe, who has been in the palace for a long time, is accompanied by several guards. The convention is secretly guarded by the Void Child. Dressed in a white robe like a rich and noble son, he wanted to hang a jade pendant and a hand-cranked folding fan, and he began to press the road on the bustling streets of the capital again.

At this time, it is the time when the West Mountain is falling and the lights are beginning to come on. And because of the hot weather, it was finally cooler at night. The big girls and the little daughters-in-law all went out shopping together. Although the atmosphere of the Great Zhao Empire was also slightly conservative. But the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, and it is also a place where all kinds of rare and exotic products gather. On this summer night, there are still many people who go out to go shopping.

And the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the public security is naturally the best in the country. I am not afraid of something bad at night in this brightly lit and bustling market. Even Zhao Zhecai walked around the small half of the bluestone street, and he had already seen several waves of patrols patrolling by.

The night, under the brilliant lights, looks a little blurry and dazzling. And getting used to the cool breeze is refreshing. Along the way, there are various tea shops, liquor stores, ready-to-wear shops, jewelry shops, and countless strange goods vendors on the roadside. There are also those who sell art and medicine, and those who play big knives and juggle and sell dog skin plasters.

This kind of scene is also a bit of a prosperous and prosperous era.

Although the capital is in the north, the rivers in the north have less water resources than in the south. But the Great Zhao Empire is an ancient empire that has gone through hundreds of years, and with so many emperors, there are all kinds of strange surnames. More than 200 years ago, there was one who ran to the gentle water town in the south during his reign. When I'm old, I can't move anymore. With a flash of inspiration, he ordered the digging of rivers in the capital, widening several natural lakes, and repairing all the old rivers on a large scale. In particular, the new river, meandering and flowing, has the soft and delicate style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. In particular, there is a Xinkai River that runs through the east and west of the capital, passes through several lakes gracefully, and finally flows into the Haihe River. At that time, it was said that it cost tens of millions of yuan, and it was not completed until the emperor died of old age. Or his son, urging the repair of this great river. And in accordance with his father's wishes, he was named North Qinhuai.

Now more than 200 years have passed, and this huge cost of North Qinhuai has become one of the most famous landscapes in the capital after the precipitation of history and time. Of course, it is also the most famous place for fireworks in the world, and its reputation far exceeds that of the Qinhuai River in Nanzhili.

Both sides were originally covered with willow trees, and they are dense and cool even during the day, making them a favorite place for tourists to hang out. Bridges, rivers, and roadsides are full of all kinds of stalls and shops.

Of course, the most famous thing in North Qinhuai is the bright lights of large and small boats wandering on the rivers and lakes. On every ship, there have been, or are happening, all kinds of romantic affairs. It provides a lot of mystery to this beautiful river.

Especially in this season, literati and customers, rich and powerful, all like to find a boat in the cool breeze at night. Blow a cool breeze, drink alcohol, and play with beauty. It's a great joy on earth.

Stepping on the night breeze, Zhao Zhe and several guards teased the big girl and little daughter-in-law who came out to take a cool walk and shop by the way. happily arrived at a dock near North Qinhuai.

Zhao Zhe stepped on the willow embankment and stopped to look at each other. Sure enough, on this North Qinhuai, there are countless big ships and small boats. The lights are bright, and the sound of silk and bamboo singing is faintly floating. And there are countless people in brocade clothes and jade shirts, constantly stepping into the boats docked on the edge of the dock, one by one from the shore, and one by one from the shore. It's really a crowd of people.

Seeing that Zhao Zhe stopped, he looked at it with interest. Shen Jiabao, who was also dressed as a son-in-law, walked up close to his body and said with a sneer: "Childe, the villain has already inquired." The largest building ship belonging to Miaoyu Pavilion was almost about to dock. The villain also found out, and now it is when a group of Qing officials carefully cultivated by Miaoyu Pavilion come out of the pavilion, and there are several most popular girls in Miaoyu Pavilion now. After that, he glanced at the edge of the pier, and saw that there were already a lot of people gathered, so he said: "I guess those people are waiting for the Miaoyu attic ship." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Zhe replied lightly.

"Childe, do you want the villain to wrap up the boat. There are too many people in the province for a while, and the son's Yaxing is swept away. A guard, said in a respectful voice.

"You uninteresting fellow." I had already understood Zhao Zhe's temper and taste, but he glared at him angrily: "Who is our son-in-law?" His old man pays attention to style and plays the world. No one is gone, and you're still playing a game? Wrap it up, you can figure it out. If so, it is better to get those clean officials to go to the back garden. ”

"Hehe, it's still Jiabao who understands my mind." Zhao Zhe shook the folding fan and said with an indifferent smile: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I occasionally have to have fun with the people." If there is no people, how can they rejoice together? Today, none of us are allowed to reveal our identities. What about you, call me Zhao Gongzi, call me Jiabao, Shen Gongzi. Also, Jiabao, don't bite a villain, just call Brother Zhao. ”

"Zhao~~ Brother Zhao." Shen Jiabao was a little cold sweat on his forehead, and finally made up his heart and really called out. But it was observed that the emperor did not seem to have any change in his expression, so he relaxed a little, and secretly wiped a cold sweat in his heart. Today's emperor is becoming more and more powerful. Although he was the emperor's most favored personal guard, he did not dare to trespass in the slightest.

"Childe, the ship is coming." A sharp-eyed guard suddenly pointed to the distance on the river.

Zhao Zhe looked at it, but saw that a very large building ship was coming from afar, even if it was far away. I can also feel the lights on that ship, which are even brighter than the ship next to it.
