Chapter Ninety-Four: Go to the Imperial Tomb Again
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road on the outskirts of Beijing.
Zhao Guangyuan was half-crooked on the inner wall of the carriage, one hand wrapped around Lin Zhaoxia's waist, and looked at her with a light smile. Lin Zhaoxia lifted the curtain with one hand and looked out the window to see the scenery outside.
"This official road is well cultivated."
Straight and wide, this width is comparable to that of a modern four-lane road, paved with wide stone slabs, extremely smooth, a small pit is not visible, the carriage does not have any shock absorbers, and it walks very steadily.
There are pines and cypresses and all kinds of trees planted on both sides of the official road, there are stone monuments for road repair every other section, a pavilion is set up every ten miles, and there is a post station for thirty miles, and occasionally you can see the tea house built by the villagers, sell some tea and snacks, and supply some horses and donkeys forage. Extremely thoughtful for travelers.
Zhao Guangyuan looked out along the open curtain, "The official road from the capital to the imperial mausoleum has been built widely, one is for funerals and worship, and the other is to facilitate the entry of large armies into Beijing to escort Gong Wei." It is ten zhang wide. Most of the remaining official roads are less than a zhang. ”
"Ten zhang? It's wider than a two-way four-lane road, huh? "The width of the two-way four-lane highway is about twenty-four meters.
Zhao Guangyuan calculated in his mind and shook his head, "Daqi is about two meters three." Extension of the Qin system. ”
Lin Zhaoxia nodded, and his eyes turned to the official road again, looking at it with relish.
After a while, I heard the sound of chariots and horses pressing the road, and when I looked up, I saw a convoy in front of me, and there was a dart flag in front of me, and several dart-shaped men were riding on a tall horse, with a solemn face, and one of the leaders was missing an eye, covered with a black cloth, and looked at it to make the child stop crying. Behind these people was the convoy of goods, so great that they could not see their heads when they looked out of the windows.
"Is this a caravan or a dart board?"
Zhao Guangyuan leaned over the window of the car, and when he saw the markings on the team, his eyes lit up, "Do you know?" Lin Zhaoxia asked him.
Zhao Guangyuan immediately said in her ear, "What, this is your goods?" What goods? ”
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at the palace guards guarding both sides of the carriage and shook his head lightly at her. Lin Zhaoxia didn't ask. His eyes were fixed for a moment, until the convoy approached and the dust was raised, and the curtain was lowered.
Before the curtain fell, Zhao Guangyuan's eyes met the one-eyed team leader, and when the other party saw him, his eyes widened, and he was about to open his mouth, when he saw Zhao Guangyuan shaking his head at him, and his mouth quickly closed again.
The two distanced themselves in the blink of an eye.
Falling from the car curtain, Lin Zhaoxia leaned on Zhao Guangyuan and leaned into his ear, "Your goods?" What goods? "Curious. I don't know what goods are so valuable, and I also found a dart bureau to escort them, and the dart master saw a lot.
"See the words on the flag?"
Word? "Is it the moon?" What do you mean?
Zhao Guangyuan looked at her and smiled without saying a word. "Ah, Moon!" Lin Zhaoxia quickly reacted, occupied countless small islands along the southeast coast, became the feared Moon Island owner, and opened a dart game?
Zhao Guangyuan saw that she thought of it, and nodded with a smile, "For the husband to be poor, can't you open up more industries?" Moreover, those retired veterans and remnants of the soldiers, who took refuge in them, could not support them in vain. They were not tolerated by the army, and because they were disabled, when they returned to their hometowns, they were looked down upon by their families and neighbors, and it was difficult for them to find a job. ”
"So you started a dart game?"
Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "One is to find a job for them to be self-reliant, and the other is to find a way to stuff some soldiers into various dart bureaus in a bright and bright way, and collect reports from all over the country." ”
Lin Zhaoxia looked at him, seeing that he had a lot of planning, and he didn't know how much effort he had spent, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and he didn't want to show it, so he asked him in a relaxed tone: "Then what kind of goods are they loading, it looks like they were escorted from a long distance." ”
Zhao Guangyuan didn't miss the distress in her eyes, and his big palm covered her eyes, and he quickly let go again.
He took her in his arms and bit her ear: "If I'm not mistaken, I must have brought some wine and spices." Shipped from Qingzhou. ”
Because the restaurant was about to open, Zhao Guangyuan went to Xinqingzhou and asked them to transport some wine, seasonings and other things into Beijing. In addition to building a glass workshop in Qingzhou, Zhao Guangyuan also secretly ordered someone to buy a few wine and sauce workshops, and sent some sauce recipes from Lin Zhaoxia to be produced there.
"There is a Jiang clan living there in Qingzhou, which is credible and usable, and some of the industries are in charge of them."
Lin Zhaoxia nodded, "Is Qingzhou far away?" ”
"It's not far, such a convoy enters Beijing, and half a month is enough."
Zhao Guangyuan didn't expect to set off for the imperial mausoleum early in the morning, and he saw his own convoy of goods on the road. After explaining to Lin Zhaoxia, he summoned Fang Er and whispered a few words, and Fang Er beat his horse and ran back.
It wasn't until he was separated from the convoy for a long distance that Fang Er came back and reported to Zhao Guangyuan.
"Lord Wang, it is indeed our goods, half wine and half sauce. Guan Zhong personally escorted it, and this was the first batch. This is Guan Zhong's letter to the prince. He handed over the letter in his hand.
Zhao Guangyuan opened it, and saw that he wrote it in a hurry, presumably because he didn't expect to see him on the road, so he gave some words to Fang Er, and wrote the rest in the letter.
Zhao Guangyuan finished reading the letter and put it away. "I didn't expect to miss him, I wanted to meet him in Beijing and ask about the situation of the Qingzhou Dart Bureau."
"Guan Zhong said that he would wait for the prince to come back in Beijing."
Zhao Guangyuan hummed, asked him a few more words, and waved him away.
Lin Zhaoxia looked out and saw that the guards were a certain distance away from the carriage, "Those guards can't believe it?" ”
"Not really. The guards did not dare not fail to do their duty, but it was difficult to determine whether they would be loyal or not. Half of these guards in the Beijing camp are from the children of various noble families, and their relationship is complicated, and sometimes they have to do things against their will for the sake of the family's interests. ”
You may not dare to make big mistakes, but I am afraid that it is common to hand over some news to someone who cares.
In normal times, Zhao Guangyuan has some secret things, and he will only hand them over to his private soldiers to do, and these selected guards will only be responsible for his travel safety.
In the afternoon of the next day, the Yue Wangfu and his party arrived at the Imperial Mausoleum.
Lin Zhaoxia came once in the night, but it was night, and the hall had never seen the real thing, let alone the surrounding scenery. Now that I have entered the imperial tomb, I look around curiously.
The best preserved Ming and Qing imperial tombs in modern times, due to the relationship between war and natural and man-made disasters, there are few ground buildings, and many of them are rebuilt later. This is the first time I have seen such a real imperial tomb. The buildings on the ground are overlapped and magnificent.
The palace is also like a mini palace.
"Almost every emperor of Daqi will come to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage, and then choose the address of his own shrine, so he will stay in the palace." So the cultivation is more magnificent, "I'll show you around tomorrow." ”
Lin Zhaoxia nodded, in fact, he didn't have any other thoughts at this time, he just wanted to see if he could go back. She had been leaving her for days, and she didn't know what had happened to her.
Zhao Guangyuan also knew that she was anxious, and after settling down, he led her to guard in the main hall.
From daytime until dark, lights and candles were lit all over the hall, and the two of them finished their dinner in the hall, and they didn't see any unusual fluctuations in the air around them.
Lin Zhaoxia was anxious, "You can't go back, right?" "What about how long it grows?
"Don't worry, wait." Every time he went to Xia'er's side, he passed through the imperial tomb, at first in the evening, but then he went to work, and this time was uncertain. Sometimes during the day, sometimes at night.
The two of them continued to wait, half an hour after another...... Wait until it's almost time. Lin Zhaoxia was anxious, tired and sleepy, no matter how easy the official road was, it was very tiring to nest in the carriage, but he was still trying his best to hold on.
Zhao Guangyuan kept reassuring on the side, and he was also anxious.
He didn't know what Xia Er's situation was. If Xia Er didn't come from here, so he can't go back, then what about him, every time he comes and goes, he is in the imperial tomb, and he can't go over?
In the past few years, he thought that he had studied this space-time gate thoroughly, but now, he was confused again, what kind of opportunity did he need?
And what did Xia Er come over for that day? Or in the ruined palace of the royal palace.
Seeing that Lin Zhaoxia was crying urgently, he hurriedly pressed the person to his chest, "Don't worry, I will go back, there will be a way." ”
"Long to, I want to grow to, I don't know how long it is, don't you ...... afraid"
"I want to grow up too. But he's a big kid and he'll take care of himself. Although he said comforting words, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. He was not there before, and Xia Er accompanied Changzhi, who lived like a modern child and adapted well.
But now Xia Er is not here, he is not a native of modern times. I left my parents again, and I just turned nine years old this summer solstice. No matter how sensible he is, he is still a child.
On the other side, Changzhi, who was sitting at the desk doing his homework, moved his fingers mechanically on the notebook, and he was afraid that he didn't know what he was writing.
Looking up at the family photo in the picture frame on the desk, my father and mother were looking at me with a smile, so long that their mouths were deflated, and tears almost fell.
He misses his father and mother.
What if my mother can't come back? He didn't want to be left alone. He wanted to stay with his parents.
Lu Shanchang, who was sitting and staring at him doing his homework, saw him lose his mind when he looked at the photo frame, and was silent, until he saw him secretly wiping away his tears, he sighed secretly, and touched his head with his big hand: "Miss your father?" ”
Changzhi nodded his head, threw down his pen and leaned on the desk, silently shedding tears.
Seeing him crying silently, his little shoulders shrugged off the ground, Lu Changshan looked uncomfortable. The comforting words have been said many times, and although the child listens to them, he still thinks about his father and mother, and he can't help it when he should cry.
I thought of my son crying every time his mother left him to work, and his tears and snot could be pasted on his face, and then he looked at Changzhi, who was not by his side at the same time, and sighed again, in this world, which child doesn't want his father's mother.
"Don't cry, your father and mother are also very anxious over there, your father will find a way, don't cry."
After a while, he wiped his tears and asked countless times, "What if Dad can't do it?" What if my mother doesn't find my father? Mother doesn't have a father to lead, I don't know where it will fall, what if the place she goes to is not her father's era? ”
…… What can Lu Shanchang say? He was also confused. This makes him how to answer.
If my brother and sister can't come back, it's okay to stay with my cousin. If this goes to another era and the two are not together, this can really kill people.
After a night, Lin Zhaoxia couldn't stay up and cried and fell asleep in Zhao Guangyuan's arms. Zhao Guangyuan didn't sleep all night, looking at her with his eyebrows locked in his arms, his heart hurt.
If the couple can't go back to that fairy-like era, won't they be able to see their own son?
Four years ago, he thought that he had been killed and had no love, but then he grew up and appeared. He was ecstatic, eager to hold him in the palm of his hand and pet him at all times. But now I can't see it anymore.
Is it a hit without a child?
No, no, no, God can't do that to him.
There must be a way. Holding on to his sleepiness, he didn't sleep all night, until the palace people in the main hall came to marry the lamps and candles, and the sunlight outside penetrated in, but he still didn't feel anything strange around him.
Why can't he go over too?
Lin Zhaoxia woke up from a sleep, and saw him sitting next to him, leaning on the head of the bed, looking tired and a little distressed, "You didn't sleep?" "The voice is hoarse.
Zhao Guangyuan hurriedly asked someone to pour warm water for her, fed her a cup of water with his own hands, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we'll come, wait and see, there will be a way." ”
"What if the Imperial Tomb can't go back?"
"Then I'll take you into the palace, find a random name, and take you to the ruined palace. You're coming from there, let's go to the ruined palace and try again. ”
"There is no palace banquet recently, and you can't stay in the palace, and you have to leave the palace before the sunset palace door closes." She came at night, what reason do you want to find to stay in the ruined palace at night? What is the reason to prevaricate others?
Zhao Guangyuan was also anxious, but he couldn't vent her anger, he just said that he was not in a hurry, he was in the imperial tomb for the past few days, maybe it would be done.
Lin Zhaoxia couldn't do it, so he made up for his sleep, and when he woke up, the two of them brought sacrifices to pay homage to the first queen. They asked for an order to go out of Beijing, looking for the name of coming to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the first queen, and the drama should be done enough.
After the queen went first, she first stopped in the Taimiao, and then moved to the imperial tomb. Until now, the shrine of Emperor Zheng has not been fully built, but because the first queen collapsed, the underground palace was repaired first, and the first queen was sent in, and the underground palace was not sealed.
Without a will, no one can enter. This is also the first time Zhao Guangyuan went to his mother's underground palace.
The underground palace corridor is long and deep, and the cold air rushes straight to the body, and the exhaled breath is emitting white smoke. There is an echo in the speech, and the sound of the footsteps, no matter how soft, is like knocking on the ear, and the sound is extremely clear and scary.
Lin Zhaoxia held Zhao Guangyuan's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment, his palms were sweaty.
"Don't be afraid. The Queen Mother will bless us. "The queen mother doesn't hurt people, she doesn't frighten them.
Lin Zhaoxia nodded mechanically, didn't dare to respond, didn't dare to look around, his eyes were fixed on the long corridor tiles, and he followed Zhao Guangyuan to move forward.
I don't know how long I walked, and when I felt colder and colder, Zhao Guangyuan stopped.
Lin Zhaoxia looked up and found that she had arrived at the main hall of the underground palace, and on the tall stone platform in front of her, there was a huge coffin parked on the left side, and before she could take a closer look, Zhao Guangyuan had choked up and pounced on her, "Queen Mother......
