Chapter 056: Reefs and Shoals Everywhere

It is said that the prince arrived at the west shore of Dongting Lake and looked at the lake, where large and small boats were moored, densely packed with endless white sails.

There were several large ships that caught his attention.

This ship is about 40 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, more than 5 zhang high, built with five layers of cabins, below the deck, there should be two or three floors.

According to Yuan Zhi visual measurement, in modern measurements, the loading capacity of this ship should be more than 3,000 tons, and it can also accommodate hundreds of people to live and live.

This kind of giant ship should be the largest ship at present, belonging to the Yangtze River basin, or the sea vessel of offshore shipping in the South China Sea.

"Does this ship have any origins?"

Yuan Zhi asked a Dark Guard Captain who was waiting there.

"Your Royal Highness, this kind of giant ship is called Wuya, which was originally rebuilt after the retirement of the Yangtze River warship, and at present, the Xiao family of Lanling in Jiangnan has purchased six or seven of these five teeth, which are mainly used for transportation." The Dark Guard reported.

"The Wuya battleship, isn't it the warship used by the Yangtze River Naval Division when the Southern Dynasty was swept away? How could the Lanling Xiao family buy so much? ”

Yuan Zhi still has heard of this history, and at present, only the Yangtze River Naval Division of the Final Jin Dynasty has this kind of five-tooth warship.

The Yangtze River Naval Division Base is in the East Haikou of Yingzhou.

The commander of the Yangtze River Navy Division is called Lu Hu'er, a person from Yangzhou, Jiangnan, a military marquis, and a general of Zhenyuan.

Now Cao Yun is mainly controlled by the Lanling Xiao clan, they are the descendants of Emperor Xiao of the Southern Dynasty, and their power cannot be underestimated.

The Wuya battleship was converted into a merchant ship, and in extraordinary times, a merchant ship could also be converted into a warship, and there were as many as six or seven ships.

It seems that the Lanling Xiao clan has ill intentions.

Yuan Zhi's mind immediately became alert.

"Have any of you ever been on such a five-toothed ship?"

"No, the Xiao family is very strict in this regard, and this kind of huge ship has a deep draft, cannot dock, and is generally anchored in the center of the lake, and most of the goods are transferred by small barges, and the transshipment workers are all brought by their own ships." Dark Guard reports.

The tighter the protection, the more it means that there is a problem with these ships, and perhaps the ships are rebuilt on the surface, but the inside is actually untouched.

The Xiao family has huge financial resources in the south of the Yangtze River, controls Cao Yun, and has the Cao Gang, an organization in the rivers and lakes, as long as the time is ripe, they can raise troops to rebel.

Entering the mother, how can the final Jin Dynasty be full of dangerous factors, reefs and shoals.

"Try your people to get into the Five-Tooth Ship Detective, and try to get a set of construction drawings of the Five-Tooth Battleship." Yuan Zhi commanded.

"Understood!" The Dark Guard gave up and left.

"Jiang Wulang, if you have time in the near future, go to your brother-in-law's house more often, take a look at Uncle Zhang's leg injury, if it is better, you tell him, and let him continue to Dongting Lake Wharf."

Yuan Zhi suddenly thought of the old man Zhang who was injured by mistake.

He is a clerk on the east wharf, and he needs to check the subject matter of the goods with the cargo owner, the specific quantity, etc.

He has the best chance of getting on the five-tooth ship.

"Yes!"

When Jiang Wulang heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and his heart blossomed.

This kid fell in love at first sight when he saw the woman, but at that time she was a sister-in-law, and this love could only be silently sunk in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Biao died suddenly, and his love came up again, but he was on an errand in the deep palace, and he was really worried that he would not have time to visit.

That's good, hee-hee!

How could he know what the prince was thinking about, but he just felt that His Royal Highness was too understanding.

"Let's go back first, and take care of the disaster relief food."

Yuan Zhi ordered to return to Miyagi.

When the team entered the palace city, it was almost dusk, passing by the Funing Palace, he suddenly remembered something.

To marry Miss Guo San as the crown princess, he made a special trip to Zhan Shifu to write a chapter and report it to Funing Palace.

But I didn't see the queen reply for a long time.

"You wait outside the gate, and go in alone to see the queen."

Yuan Zhi stopped, he was about to come to the door to inquire in person.

At this time, Queen Cao Feiyan was resting on the drunken concubine couch.

She was in the deep palace all day long, bored and lonely.

Cao Feiyan, who had just married into the palace, was seventeen years old at the time, young and beautiful, and it was not an exaggeration to use the metaphor of closing flowers and shyness to the moon and sinking fish and geese.

Emperor Yuanren was fascinated by her, and the harem was favored by her, and the power of the Cao family was able to develop rapidly during this period.

At that time, in the Funing Palace, the warblers sang and danced all day long, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, the emperor slept here almost every night, men and women loved, and the endless spring was full of gardens.

But since the emperor was paralyzed three years ago, Funing Palace has become lifeless, full of feminine people, and there is no masculinity.

If it weren't for the Eighth Emperor Yuan Xuan by her side, she would have sustenance in her heart, and this deep palace mansion would be like a prison.

She is twenty-eight this year, and she is in the year of the tiger and wolf, and every time she recalls the joy of the past, her heart is sad.

"Niangniang, the prince is asking to see you outside the palace." The female officer Biyu sang in a low voice, dragging the queen's thoughts back in her memories.

Hearing that the crown prince was coming, Cao Feiyan immediately felt an inexplicable heartbeat accelerate.

If the former prince was looked down upon by her because of his incompetence, the current prince of the prison seems to have become strong and wise, very manly, and she appreciates it in her heart.

It's a pity that she and him are currently hostile because of the competition for the crown prince of Jin.

She naturally understood in her heart the purpose of the prince's visit this time.

Cao Fu sent a secret letter, and her father asked her to try to prevent the political marriage between the crown prince and the Guo family, and she was already in progress.

But the prince seems to be a little impatient, so it is better to drag him first.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Feiyan said to the personal female official:

"Biyu, you go and tell the prince, just say that this palace has been in poor health recently and is recuperating, and if there is anything to do, I will talk about it another day."

"Yes."

The female official Biyu came to the main hall outside the hall and told Yuan Zhi, who was waiting, that the mother and phoenix were not in good health, and it was not appropriate to see each other today.

Yuan Zhi listened, looked nervous, got up and said:

"The queen's phoenix body is not good, have you asked the imperial doctor to take a look, how do you say it? I have to go to the bed to ask for peace. ”

He couldn't help but move towards the direction of the dormitory.

"Hey, His Royal Highness the Prince... The mother is resting, it's inconvenient..."

Seeing this, Biyu and several palace maids and eunuchs were shocked and hurriedly followed to stop them.

"Get out of the way, the sons and daughters ask the queen mother to say goodbye, this is a courtesy, you slaves, who dares to stop it?"

If the crown prince wants to break in, how can a few palace maids and eunuchs stop him?

"Stop."

Cao Feiyan appeared at the door of the dormitory.

I saw her wearing a light blue silk floor-length skirt, light and wide sleeves, a pure white and translucent tulle on her shoulders, holding a streamer, green silk like a cloud, a jasper hairpin flower inserted in her hairline, hanging a few tassels.

The eyebrows are like Yuandai, the eyes are charming and colorful, and the country is captivating.

She stared at Yuan Zhi who was breaking in, and said angrily: "This palace doesn't want to see you, you still dare to break in?" ”

Yuan Zhi hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Erchen has not asked the queen mother for many days, and he was terrified, and he came over just a little gap, but he heard that the queen mother was not in good health, and he was inevitably anxious and reckless, please forgive the queen mother!" ”

The current prince, this kind of scene is a piece of cake, he can deal with it easily, and his eloquence is superb.
