Wang Shichong had a flattering smile on his face, and sighed: "Doctor Zhang is really talented, if you let the lower officials do this, then you can't think of this method even if you want to break your head." Oh, what's over there? Why does it look so much like the Liangyi Palace? ”

"Hehe, Wang Shilang is right, there is the Liangyi Palace, which is almost completed now, and it will be closed in two days." Zhang Heng sounded very useful, and pointed to a large hall in the distance and said.

Wang Shichong rubbed his eyes: "Oh, I look at the roofs and eaves of these two ceremonial halls, but they are so luxurious, they are all colored glazed bricks, which are more beautiful than those in the Eastern Capital." ”

"Let Wang Shilang smile, after all, this is a palace built later, so you have to make the Supreme more comfortable, right?" Zhang Heng's tone was not high, but it was difficult to hide the pride and joy in his bones.

“………………”

In this way, Wang Shichong is like a cross talk in later generations, and has been constantly patting Zhang Heng's sycophants, attracting the proud Zhang Heng to point out the country on this dirt mountain, and carefully explained to Wang Shichong a palace and a hall in this Jiangdu palace, a pond and a courtyard, and heard Wang Shichong exclaim for a while, although most of these exclamations are pretended, but a small half is true, before coming here, he really didn't expect that this Zhang Heng could actually build the Jiangdu Palace more luxurious and magnificent than the palace in Luoyang. Especially the maze and mirror house, which were actually built by Zhang Heng according to the original design, Wang Shichong is sure that if Yang Guang is here now, instead of Zhuojun, he will definitely not even want to fight Goguryeo!

Zhang Heng took Wang Shichong from one construction site to another, and the palace city with a radius of more than 20 miles has been completed by nearly 90 percent. The water from the Tongji Canal, which flows through Gangto, is channeled into Miyagi. It is used to compose various man-made landscapes. Lake, and a magnificent, magnificent palace, but also symbolize the majesty and bearing of the Sui Emperor, the harem of those exquisite pavilions and pavilions, but also reflect the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town, so that Wang Shichong is a little living in.

Along the way, Wang Shichong was also full of praise for Zhang Heng. The one on the left worked hard, and the other god ingenuity made Zhang Heng's face smile, and in this way, the two of them, under the escort of their entourage, crossed all the way through various construction sites in the palace, and finally returned to the small dirt mountain in the east of the palace.

It's dusk, and many people at the construction site have begun to line up to eat, and the construction site, which is still noisy during the day, has become a little quiet. But there are still a few sites that are progressing more slowly and have already begun to light torches. It looks like it's going to be ready for overnight construction.

Wang Shichong sighed: "Doctor Zhang, you are really amazing, I can't imagine that in less than a year, you can build such a magnificent palace city almost, according to the lower officials, when Your Majesty comes back from the expedition to Goguryeo this time, with the power of great victory, you will be very happy to live in this palace you built." ”

Zhang Heng laughed: "Where is it, Wang Shilang is too modest, those of us who are courtiers must share worries for the Supreme, and thanks to this Tongji Canal, plus last year, we began to dig from Jingkou (today's Zhenjiang, opposite to the Yangtze River) and the Jiangnan Canal to Yuhang (Hangzhou), those rare stones in the south of the Yangtze River, and the best ebony can be transported from the south in a steady stream, and it also saves a lot of trouble in the transfer of engineering materials by land. ”

Wang Shichong's heart moved, when the Jiangnan Canal was excavated, when he was in the Western Regions and accompanied the expedition, he had only heard of the huge project of digging the river in Hebei, but he didn't know that the Jiangnan Canal had also dug nearly a thousand miles of canals, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, has the Jiangnan Canal also been dug up?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded: "Yes, but that is not a new canal, the Southern Dynasties have dug some river sections, this time it is just some dredging and connecting work, and it is not comparable to the Guangji Canal in the north." The supreme is still a bold and generous man, this canal can now go straight to Zhuojun from Yuhang, and the soldiers, grain and grass, and ordnance of the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo are unimpeded all the way, which is really a feat that the emperors of the past dynasties could not even think of! ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Doctor Zhang, this time the lower official was ordered by the Holy Order, come here to check the construction of the Jiangdu Palace, and now the lower official has seen the same, so he is ready to go back to restore his life, do you have anything else to bring to the Supreme Official?" ”

Zhang Heng hurriedly changed his serious expression and said: "There is also King Lao Shilang to tell the Supreme, although the old minister is in Jiangdu, but he is always thinking about the supreme's dragon body, I heard that now the supreme is in Zhuojun, and he is going to Goguryeo, the bitter cold land, every time he thinks of this, the minister can't eat, can't sleep, and can't wait to fly to His Majesty's side now, and solve problems for His Majesty." ”

"Now all the minister can do is to follow His Majesty's will and repair this Jiangdu Palace, so that His Majesty can live happily here after returning from a great victory, this is the only way for the minister to repay His Majesty."

Wang Shichong also nodded seriously: "Doctor Zhang's fierce loyalty to the Supreme is very moving, and the lower officials will give back to the Supreme word for word for your words." ”

Zhang Heng laughed, took Wang Shichong's hand, and said, "Then there will be King Lao's waiter." ”

A trace of ambiguity suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Wang Shilang, you have been working hard all the way, tonight, the old man temporarily set up a table of thin wine in the cold house, for Wang Shilang to catch the wind and wash the dust, and please be sure to appreciate your face." ”

A smile flashed in Wang Shichong's eyes, and he replied meaningfully: "Dr. Zhang is kindly invited, how dare the subordinate resign?!" ”

At night, Jiangdu, post house.

Wang Shichong was full of wine, squinted his eyes, lying on the couch of the post house, while burping, while looking at a simple bronze screen placed opposite, because the age is too old, some places on this bronze screen have been slightly rusty, but you can still clearly see the exquisite patterns of people, birds and beasts on it, depicting some scenes of hunting and catching birds.

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, looked at Wei Zheng, who was in front of the screen, holding the candlestick and watching carefully, with an incredible expression of surprise on his face, and said, "How is it, Xuan Cheng, is this screen really from the Zhou Dynasty?" ”

Wei Zheng's whole person was completely attracted by the magic of this screen just now, and after hearing this, he was pulled back to reality, and he sighed: "Yes, lord, if my expectations are good, this screen should be from the time of King Zhou Mu, and it records the deeds of his western tour of Kunlun and seeing the Queen Mother of the West."
