Chapter 346: Discuss a Few Things
Wang Rong and Zhang Pu sat in the carriage, speechless all the way.
Wang Rong looked at the expression on Zhang Pu's face and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
Zhang Pu's face was expressionless, and he said lightly, "It's about Shicai saying too much."
Wang Rong said with a puzzled expression, "You didn't talk much when you had lunch?"
Zhang Pu was silent.
Wang Rong stretched out his hand to her, but Zhang Pu lowered his head. His palm stopped in mid-air, like a pale blooming stone orchid in the dimness. He clenched his fists, retracted it, and asked, "What happened when you were in the Marquis of Jin's mansion?" What am I doing wrong? You tell me. I always want to make you happy."
Zhang Pu stared at the corner, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My mother used to teach me to be a famous lady. But since I was a child, I have followed my two brothers, digging birds' nests in trees, going into the water to fish, and doing everything. Later, I followed the master, and I went up the mountain day and night to collect medicines, pound medicines, make medicines, and go to see doctors. At that time, I never thought that I would get married and have children at home. Until I met you......
Wang Rong said in a low voice, "Is it that Mrs. Linjin doesn't want you to take over as the military doctor?"
Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Mother said that since I have married into the Tang State Mansion, I should fulfill my duties as the Duchess of Tang Kingdom, have children, and educate children."
Wang Rong shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the military doctor's order is yours, and it can only be yours. I didn't marry you to make you a canary in a birdcage. You can do whatever you like, anything."
Zhang Pu continued, "Mother also said that if I fail to give birth to a boy for the Tang State Mansion, I will be divorced by you."
Wang Rong's face became very serious, and he directly reprimanded, "Nonsense, is this who told her what? Why would she be so upset?"
Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I don't know......
Zhang Pu's big eyes are black and white, clear and bright, "According to my mother's idea, I will marry you, give you children, and make you happy and comfortable, this is my duty."
Wang Rong smiled and said, "Husband and wife, I won't interfere with what you want to do, and I don't want you to be unhappy."
Zhang Pu smiled and said, "I want to live my life according to my own wishes, I originally thought that the most troublesome thing I would be in the future should be how to cultivate soil and plant, how to grow medicinal herbs, how to see a doctor and save people. But now it seems that the most important thing for me in the future is to have children and run the Tang State Mansion, or even the Tang Palace. If that were the case, I would have to change everything I am now, and at the end of the day, I don't even know what I'm going to become."
Wang Rong held Zhang Pu's soft hands and said slowly, "You have to remember that marrying me is not to become a prisoner in a cage. You can do anything, do what you love, and most importantly, you have to be yourself."
Zhang Pu looked at him and knew that what he said was sincere, and she didn't doubt it. She simply pushed her hands forward, covering his broad palms and caressing his cheeks.
Wang Rong felt the coldness on Zhang Pu's hands, and his white and tender palms were tightly pressed against his cheeks.
Zhang Pu felt a rough touch under the palm of his hand, and his skin was tough and firm. The two sat opposite each other, their faces touching each other, and their snorts could be heard.
Wang Rong was tall, even if he was sitting, he was as majestic as a jade mountain, and his tall figure was shrouded in his head, so that Zhang Pu had to raise his head and bend his slender neck to see his face.
Zhang Pu looked at her husband in front of her, she had never looked at a person so closely. Wang Rong's mandible is elegant, his forehead is naturally curved, and his dark brown eyes, under the lowered eyebrows, clear eyes, there are no such eyes in this world.
At this time, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Tang State Mansion, and Wang Xu said outside the carriage, "Grandpa, Madam, we have arrived."
Wang Rong was the first to get up, opened the compartment door, got out of the carriage first, and then helped Zhang Pu with his own hands. Wang Rong's carriage had a stepping bench, and Zhang Pu jumped out of the carriage with Wang Rong's support.
Wang Rong and Zhang Pu stood side by side, she lowered her head and walked straight towards the mansion gate, thinking about things silently in her heart.
Wang Xu sensed that the atmosphere was wrong
, looked at his grandfather, then looked at his duchess, and then bowed his head and was silent.
The two entered the mansion, and Wang Rong went straight to the study. Zhang Pu returned to the new room of the two, accompanied by his personal maid Xing'er, looking at the medical book.
At this time, Huang Fujian, Zhang Gengxiao, Li Sujie and others were waiting in the study.
Wang Rong entered the study, and several people got up and saluted.
Wang Rong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Wang Xu personally came in with the guards bringing tea, and the study was heavy, and servants or servants were not allowed to enter. All the packs should be cleaned up by Wang Rong himself. Of course, it was impossible for him to serve tea to everyone personally, so this job was handed over to the Xiaojie Dujia led by Wang Xu.
Wang Rong looked at the people in the house and said, "I called you here today to discuss a few things, first of all, to move the capital."
After speaking, Wang Rong glanced at Huang Fujian and nodded.
Huang Fujian understood, picked up the document in his hand, and said to the people in the study, "The matter of moving the capital has been discussed for the past few months. Some people say Zhanghua City, some people say Xindu, some people say Handan, and some people suggest Lingshou. Eventually, we decided to move our capital to Xuyi."
Wang Rong looked at the crowd and said, "The reason why the capital is made is because of the geographical location of the city.
Although there are natural dangers, its hinterland is too small, with a radius of only a few hundred miles; The fields are barren and easy to be attacked on all sides, and it is not a capital that governs the country by force.
Guanzhong has the danger of Cuihan on the left, and the overflow of Longshu Congshan on the right, the land is fertile and fertile for thousands of miles; In addition, there are rich agricultural products of Bashu in the south, and there are prairies that can graze cattle and horses in the north. There are dangers in the north, west, and south that can be defended, and they can also attack the countries to the east. It can travel down the river to the east to transport grain and grass, which is enough to sustain the supply of the expeditionary troops."
Everyone in the house listened to Wang Rong's explanation, and they all expressed their obedience to the order and had no objection to the relocation.
Wang Rong then said, "The second thing is to be king."
Hearing this, everyone in the room came to their senses, and looked at Wang Rong with blazing eyes.
Wang Rong said: "It is certain to be called king, but after the capital is moved, the name of the country after being called king is still "Tang". Since he is the king, he is the founding of the country, and he must have a set of official systems of the Tang State. I have already handed over this matter to Mr. Huangfu and Mr. Chu.
Moreover, I also asked the Marquis of Linjin to participate in the evaluation of the merits of the civil and military officials, and the subsequent promotion has been determined. These are all things that will happen after the capital has been moved, but they need to be prepared immediately."
