141 Finale (II)
Chapter 141 Finale (II)
Hee and July of the same year.
The imperial court prepared for seven months, and Emperor Xihe issued one order after another, preparing a huge fleet of ships and abundant supplies for Rong Zhao, and also ordered Pei Guanshan, the general of Jinhai, to personally escort him.
Qin Tian calculates a good day, and the day when Taifu Rong goes to sea is close at hand.
Above the castle tower.
Zhang Changyan asked: "You will leave the day after tomorrow?" β
Rong Zhao nodded, looking ahead, "Depart from the capital the day after tomorrow and go to sea from Jiaozhou at the end of the month." β
Zhang Changyan looked at her with reluctance.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and asked softly, "Does the emperor know?" β
Rong Zhao shook his head, his hands behind his back, his expression was gentle, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, "He doesn't know, he said that no one was allowed to tell him." β
When Qintian monitored and counted the days, Emperor Xihe ordered that no one should mention the matter of Taifu going to sea in front of him, let alone the time of leaving.
Zhang Sanchang sighed.
He understood Emperor Xi He, in the past few months, countless thoughts had risen in his heart, wanting to leave Rong Zhao behind.
He did it because he couldn't.
Emperor Xi and Emperor can.
I don't know, I'm afraid I'm worried that I'll forcibly keep her when the time comes......
Zhang Changyan blinked, swallowed the wetness back, and asked, "Aren't you disappointed?" β
Rong Zhao shook his head: "Even if you send it to me, there will be a farewell." β
There is no feast in the world, and the heart's desire is in one place.
Zhang Changyan seemed to understand a little, and nodded in a trance.
Rong Zhao retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Changyan: "In the past few months, I will teach you everything I can teach you, when the prime minister retires, you should be promoted to the head of the household department, and the affairs of the household department will be handed over to you." β
Zhang Changyan nodded heavily.
The seven-month preparation time is not only the time for the imperial court to prepare for Rong Zhao's voyage, but also the time for Rong Zhao to prepare.
She handed over almost all the affairs of the household department to Zhang Changyan and Xu Shangshu and others.
Zhang Changyan did a great job.
Zhang San has been following her all these years, and his style of action is almost exactly the same as her in many aspects.
She has been in charge of the property for a long time, and the bank has not been in contact, and now she has handed over the things in her hands to him, Rong Zhao is very relieved.
And the industry that originally belonged to him is now managed by Rong Wuniang.
She is doing a good job, and everyone in Anqing Mansion has a career and is very good.
Zhang Changyan nodded heavily.
Immediately, he blinked his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "I know, you are good yourself, I will study hard about the affairs of the household, and the female officials of the court will also be fine." β
In the past seven months, many more things have happened.
Liu Wanjun has been promoted, although it is only a step forward, but this step is very important.
And she was replaced by a woman who was the head of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Ministry of Industry has entered a female official, who is very good at clever calculations, and Rong Zhao's cannon to go to sea this time is improved by her, and Emperor Xihe is specially rewarded.
In addition, there is the president of the Qingzhou Bank, as well as the vice presidents of the other two states, all of whom are women.
With Rong Zhao in front, the matter of female officials is not difficult to accept.
Their path is still harder than that of the men,
But at least, there is a way, Rong Zhao leaves the court, and they are still moving forward step by step, and they will not stagnate.
Tens of millions of stars converge into the sea, moving forward.
Hearing this, Rong Zhao smiled and shook his head: "You." β
Zhang Changyan couldn't help it at all, looked at her, his eyes were moist, and his voice was choked: "Ah Zhao, no matter where you go, I hope you can achieve what you want and be safe for a long time." β
He lifted his hand and gently rubbed her bun.
The corners of his mouth are rising, and his eyes are glowing with water.
Rong Zhao responded with a smile: "Okay." β
-
Two days later.
Rong Zhao set off from the capital, and people who knew her well came to see her off, including the Anqing Palace.
Lin had already cried several times, but he still couldn't hold back at this time.
Rong Ping scolded her: "What are you crying about? Ah Zhao went to sea for the wild goose dynasty, besides, she didn't come back! β
After saying that, he himself cried.
Rong Zhao wiped away their tears, his eyes were slightly red: "Father, mother, it's good, in a few years, you may not come back, after HNA is stable, you can also go overseas to have a look." β
Hearing this, Lin and Rong couldn't help but nod.
Next to him, Bai's, Rong Wuniang and others also had red eyes.
No matter how many times you say goodbye, you will still be reluctant.
Bai didn't say anything, just curtsy with tears on his face.
Back then, she was a side concubine full of resentment.
Today, she is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, her world is very large, she has seen countless scenery, and she will never be trapped in the back house again.
It's all because of Ah Zhao.
Rong Zhao has changed the lives of many people.
Rong Zhao took a deep breath and looked to the side, many people came to see her off, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, except for those who couldn't leave, almost all of them were there.
Rong Zhao's gaze stopped at Zhang Changyan and Guan Mengsheng.
Both of them were much more mature, looking at her with moist eyes, but with a smile and a blessing in their eyes.
looked at Liu Wanjun again.
The girl had obviously cried for a long time, and when she saw her, she held her breath steadily, and said gently: "Rong Shizi, this is the boundless sea, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the journey is cherished." β
Rong Zhao smiled.
It was almost time for her to get into the carriage of the convoy.
Then turned around, Rong Zhao raised his hand, bent over, his long sleeves were level, and saluted, his voice smiled, as before: "Goodbye, cherish." β
After straightening up, she got into the carriage and shouted, "Go!" β
The convoy moved forward.
Behind him, everyone returned the salute in the direction of the carriage.
ββThe sea is boundless, and the world cherishes it.

Palace.
Emperor Xihe was correcting the recitals, his eyes were calm, and he was quietly correcting the recitals, and there was silence in the hall.
He was quiet, and the little yellow door remained quiet, without a sound.
Suddenly, for some reason, his heart was flustered.
When lifting the pen, he even knocked over the inkstone, and the pen fell to the ground, which was a mess.
Pei Huai looked at it sadly.
"Your Majesty ......" Xiao Huangmen cautiously stepped forward and cleaned up.
He asked, "What day is it?" β
Xiao Huangmen's voice became softer and softer: "July 30." β
Whoa......
Songs and other things fell to the ground.
Pei Huaibei couldn't help but be in a mess, and directly raised his feet to cross over, and he hurried out with his steps, followed by countless people.
"Your Majesty! ()β
“β·()β·[()β
Pei Huai kept grief, rushed to Yongming Road, and went to the direction of Jiaozhou.
Hurry up and gallop over eighty miles in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, the mighty guards didn't dare to stop them, but only dared to fall behind them, exclaiming all the way.
Eighty miles, completely out of the capital.
Mr. Tang caught up and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, stop quickly, Taifu went to sea today, and he went to Jiaozhou, but he couldn't catch up." β
Ahead, the fast horse galloped for a few more miles.
Then, suddenly, the horse reined in, and the horse raised its front hooves and let out a long cry.
"Zhaoβ" He let out a mournful scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell off his horse.
"Your Majesty!"
The guards pounced.
Pei Huaibei looked ahead, there was no end in sight, and his face was full of tears.
Chasing eighty miles is not enough, he just wants to chase Rong Zhao.
It is the reason and responsibility of Emperor Xihe to hold the reins.
He vomited out the blood and fainted.
"Your Majesty!" Mr. Tang exclaimed.
Jiaozhou.
A huge fleet of ships was sailing, with 50,000 sailors, and matching supplies, officials, food, precious goods, silver taels, and so on.
The overwhelming ship with almost no end in sight, and the people on the dense boat.
Rong Zhao stood at the bow of the ship, looking to the north.
Behind him, Pei Guanshan, the general of Jinhai in a naval uniform, and Pei Chengjue, who was wearing a fisherman's suit, looked at the direction of the capital with her.
Pei Guanshan asked, "Ah Zhao, will you come back?" β
Rong Zhao did not hesitate: "Yes." β
With that, she took a deep breath and turned to face the sea.
Next to him, Pei Guanshan and Pei Chengjue were talking.
Pei Guanshan: "I can't imagine that there will be a day to get together again, the sea is boundless, let's go with Ah Zhao to have a look." β
Pei Chengjue put down the flask and said with a smile: "Okay." β
Rong Zhao smiled, raised his feet and went in another direction, and his voice was clear: "One of you is good at war, the other is good at government, and you went to the New World with me, but you have to work hard." β
"Before you went out, you arranged a job!"
"It's really worthy of you, over the years, you are still the best at fooling people to work."
Rong Zhao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
- Goodbye, Pei Huaibei.

Postscript.
Hee and eight years.
On the road, someone rushed into the alley on a bicycle, his face full of excitement: "I bought it!" Got it! β
The people who were doing manual work in the alley stood up suddenly, and all of them gathered around and rubbed their hands: "Show us, this thing is expensive and hard to buy." β
The man carefully removed the bag hanging from the bicycle and removed the contents.
- Wall clocks.
"Wow! Look good. β
"It's a pity that the price is still a bit expensive."
"Fortunately, the price that Anzhou gave us is already very cheap, and it is sold to the West and Nanyang, which is five times or ten times the price, and the merchant said that now the output cannot go up, and Anzhou is still working hard."
"That's right, the newspaper also said that when the output comes up, the price will come down, so that everyone can consume calmly, and we are the only ones who can probably afford it."
"I look at the time, it's a little more than two o'clock in the afternoon, it's too accurate."
"I really want to, when the price comes down, I'll buy one, or buy one with my hand first, it's cheaper, but it's harder to buy."
β¦β¦
Teahouse.
A few businessmen were gathering to talk.
"This time, the emperor asked to send a batch of tea, clothes, porcelain and silk to Anzhou, as well as the people who migrated, and it is a large fleet, and we are going to go to Anzhou together."
"I'll go too, bring the goods, buy some from Anzhou, and go to Nanyang next."
"I just lived in Anzhou for a while, there was a shortage of people there, and there were no servants, although everything was expensive, but it was really comfortable."
"Now the wild goose is quite comfortable, although my family has no servants now, and they are all hired laborers."
"Let's not be bad, many families are really, since the 'slave self-redemption' policy was introduced, and the price of slave self-redemption was stipulated, and most of the servants have been lost."
"Anzhou, over there, doesn't recognize the deed of sale, there is no such thing!"
"I'll tell you a joke, before Zhou Laowu went to sea to do business, wanted to make a lot of money, and thought that Anzhou was expensive, he brought a boatload of slaves, but when he got over there, the Anzhou government said that he didn't recognize the deed of sale, and the Dayan people could go directly to register and get household registration, they were all good people, and then all his servants ran away, and Zhou Laowu almost didn't come back haha."
"Hire is hire, let's not bully the people below, and the people above can't bully us, now we all talk about the Fa."
"You can hire some Gentiles, they're cheap."
"I'm not used to Gentiles, white and black, they look weird, and some of the official languages are not very good!"
β¦β¦
() In the palace.
Officials are also talking.
"Are you new shoes? ()β
“? ()β
"Tsk, the shoes are good, the style is too young, you are not young, what are you doing in such fancy shoes?"
"Dress freely, you care about me?"
"Okay, speaking of which, there have been a lot of things in the court recently." Zhao Shilang sighed again.
Referring to this, Wu Yushi didn't show off his shoes anymore, and nodded in agreement: "The Ministry of Industry is studying the new cannons, weapons, and other things sent back by Anzhou, and it is very busy, and the emperor is also very concerned, weapons are the most important things." β
Zhao Shilang: "The household department is very busy all year round, and the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have also been busy recently, and some Western countries have come to meet the saints, I think the main reason is to send people over to see the world." β
Wu Yushi: "This is normal, their countries are very poor. Every year, there are countless foreigners who come with the sea boats, and they are willing to work hard, and they don't leave when they come, they all say that the wild geese and Anzhou are holy places, and Anzhou temporarily does not allow the foreigners to stay for a long time, so they run to the wild geese, and they learn the official language very well. β
"Hahaha, I heard that their country is also learning official language, mainly because of the new factories opened by Dayan on their side, they only accept official language, you didn't see their caravan purchase orders this time, many of them are books."
"Speaking of the factory, the household department said that the new factory will open a new factory to Yanguo?"
"That's right, everything is cheap in Yanguo, the wage is low, and this factory says that it is not very good for the environment, and it is not open in Dayan. Both the Yan Kingdom and the Jia Kingdom want to give gifts to the household and the emperor. The envoys on both sides grinded upwards for half a year before finally finalizing the Yan country, but in the future, other factories can also be opened to the country of Jia. β
"Haha, the warehouses of the household department and the Ministry of Rites must be full every year."
"Yes, I also brought a lot of Western national gifts this time, and there are a lot of new things."
Wu Yushi was curious: "How do you return the gift this time?" β
Zhao Yushi waved his hand: "What do you want to return the gift?" It's the same every time, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites write a commendation reply, and at most bring a box of souvenir porcelain printed with the Dayan Dynasty!
"What? Are you counting on us to send them something? The emperor said, we must have the demeanor of a great country, and if the things we send are useful, we will praise them a few more words, and learn them quickly, and if the things we send are useless, we will praise them a few words. β
Wu Yushi nodded very naturally, "Although the Ministry of Rites is busy writing a reply, every time it is done, the emperor has foreign gifts to reward them, which is really good." β
Zhao Shilang was envious: "Not really." β
Wu Yushi: "Your officials are also very good, and they are not busy now, but at the beginning of the imperial examination, they were very busy." β
Zhao Shilang nodded heavily, thinking deeply.
After chatting so much gossip, Wu Yushi saw that the atmosphere had arrived, and immediately changed the topic: "By the way, I have a question I want to ask you......"
Zhao Shilang reacted quickly, raised his feet and was about to leave, his tone was hurried: "Don't ask me about going to Anzhou for further study, the quota hasn't come out yet, and no one can reveal it-"
He hurriedly walked forward, and Wu Yushi hurried to chase after him.
The voices of the two grew farther and farther apart.
"Is there me or not? I really want to go to Anzhou to see, the last batch of officials who came back from advanced training have changed so much, I will be old if I don't go, and I can't keep up with the changes! Now the wild goose dynasty, one day
() A kind (),
()οΌ
Why are you doing so many tricks, tossing us old things. β
"Don't ask, you just don't know."
"Alas, those of us who are officials are really not as good as some students, and we can still be admitted to Anzhou University, which was just established last year, and it is too difficult for us to compete for a place for further study...... Just tell me, is there me or not? β
"You are an imperial history, I dare to tell you now, who knows if you will picket me tomorrow?"
ββ¦β¦ What about trust between people? β
"I don't trust you Yushi!"
"Forget it, don't ask, I'll memorize the law, people don't remember well when they're old, and the law is long, and it has to be added every year, and it's annoying."
"Didn't you learn from Anzhou?"
"Speaking of which, I'll tell you a joke, our Yushitai has entered a new imperial history this year, and yesterday I suddenly said that the emperor is not young, and he didn't even have a concubine, so he asked if he wanted to make an excerpt......
βοΌοΌοΌ Isn't your brain sick? Why don't you take him to the Ministry of Industry to see Anzhou's cannons and weapons that are changed every year? See how many hits he can take? β
"Hahaha, that's what we said, laugh to death, the emperor and the king of Anzhou are not married, and the other is not married, who doesn't know what it means? As far as he is smart, when we are all fools? β
"He dared to suggest that the emperor take a concubine, Anzhou doesn't want it anymore?"
"Don't talk about King Anzhou, even the emperor has to kill him, the emperor only has King Anzhou in his heart, you can see Zhaolou."
"Last time, a concubine mentioned it, and the emperor called the palace maid on the spot to ask, has the concubine eaten too much salt recently? The concubine was so ashamed that she didn't dare to go out for many days. β
"Alas, no, affection is always moving."
β¦β¦
Rong Zhao has not been in Dayan for eight years, but Dayan has her legend everywhere, there is a fleet of ships constantly going back and forth every year, letters are also convenient, and the newspaper is the first to know what news.
September 22 was an uneventful day.
But the front page of the newspaper suddenly reported a piece of news that blew up the entire Dayan Dynasty -
At the end of this year, King Anzhou returned to Beijing to report on his work.
The entire Dayan Dynasty exploded in an instant.
"What? King Anzhou wants to come back and take a look?! β
"Mom, I'm going to pick it up then, woo, that's great."
"I miss Rong Shizi so much, I can finally see you again!"
"How long will she stay in the Wild Goose Dynasty when she comes back? My son's grades in the school are not good, and I want to take him to kowtow to King Anzhou, hoping that my son's grades will improve. β
ββ¦β¦ Anzhou is no longer interested in kowtowing, and your son is still young, don't think about having it. β
"It won't be long before Anzhou can get out of his hand, but it's good to come back and take a look, the emperor should be the happiest, right?"
"That's nature."
β¦β¦
Inside the Royal Palace.
Everywhere was being cleaned, and the people of the Shangyi Bureau were finally summoned by the emperor, and they were all beaming, shuttling through the originally deserted palace, which was very lively.
Cooks and craftsmen were recruited from the outside and the palace began to be decorated.
"Our emperor seems to have never been so happy......"
"Yes, the emperor is diligent and loves the people, and is very good to the people, but he treats himself too harshly, does not like extravagance, does not like extravagance and waste, and does not even leave the palace much."
() "The biggest expense,
It should be Zhaolou, right? β
β¦β¦
The palace people said,
Look at the tall buildings ahead.
Emperor Xihe doesn't like extravagance, and he never likes to spend money indiscriminately, his money is spent on the people, and he is diligent and loves the people.
And his only huge expense was the construction of the Zhao Tower.
He did not build a mausoleum for himself, nor did he build a Zhuangzi or a garden, but only built a Zhao Tower.
Standing in the gate of Dayan Palace, it is the tallest building in the entire Dayan Palace.
Zhaolou is located next to the palace gate, below is the north-south straight road Yongming Road, and the direction of Zhaolou is Anzhou.
After Emperor Xihe finished his political affairs every day, he would stand on top of the Zhao Tower and look in the direction of Anzhou.
Day after day, it was like waiting for someone.
Occasionally, when a palace person passes by, you can see many guards and small yellow doors standing outside the Zhao Tower.
Upstairs, a cold and lonely shadow could be faintly seen.
Pei Huaibei stood on it, looking at the south, Yongming Road has no end, he has spent countless springs and autumns here, watching the spring flowers bloom and see the snow.
Eight years he spent in Zhaolou.
Finally, in the winter of this year, he saw the people he wanted to see on this road, the people he dreamed of.
Rong Zhao rode a horse and slowly drove from a distance with a huge convoy.
Dayan Palace is exactly the same as it was at the beginning, and the memory has not changed at all.
However, if you look at it from afar, you can see the extra tall buildings.
The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow is getting closer and closer.
Rong Zhao saw the figure standing above clearly.
The man was looking at her.
Rong Zhao was wearing a white winter coat, a plush cloak lined her face as white as snow, her eyebrows were picturesque, she tilted her head, shook the reins, greeted the sun, smiled at the people of Zhaolou, and a little red mole moved slightly in the center of her eyebrows.
The castle tower, right away, looking at each other from afar.
Not then, just as it was then.
Above, Pei Huaibei also smiled, his eyebrows gentle.
-
He took this mountain and river and watched her go to the world.
Forty years later, the Haiyan River was clear.
