Chapter 213

"King Jing's fleet set out from Yingzhou lake!"

Zhao Qirui nodded after listening to the report! Then he said, "hurry up and get ready. Let's go overland and get on the boat at Lianhua Lake. If we move faster, we should enter Beijing before them!"

"Lord, would you like to inform Mr. Ye?"

Zhao Qirui thought and shook his head.

"Teacher, the Dragon sees the first but not the end. It's too late!"

His men went down to prepare.

Zhao Qirui looked at the will in his hand and smiled. There is nothing wrong with what the teacher said. Sometimes no struggle is struggle! Only for more than a year, the father emperor issued a secret decree to allow him to return to Beijing for the new year. Although it was too late to inform the teacher, there were enough guards around him, and there should be no danger. It would be wonderful to think of Zhao Qijue's expression after she entered Beijing?

Night into the empty let him stand still, forbearance and self-cultivation, now has received results, the emperor also praised Zhao Qirui in the court, reflection has made good progress!

At this time, a steward ran in and handed a letter. Zhao Qirui took the letter and looked at it. There was a plum blossom icon on the envelope. Although he is no longer the crown prince and many deployments have fragmented his play in the past two years, he has spared no effort to help him improve a little bit. The plum blossom mark on the envelope is the mark of this reconstituted spy agency.

After watching carefully and making sure the letter was well sealed, he waved back and opened the envelope!

There is only one sentence: people have been found under Lianpeng peak and died of assassination!

Those who engage in intelligence espionage and collection are not literati at all. It's good to be able to express their meaning clearly, so Zhao Qirui can't criticize the crooked handwriting and lax sentence patterns!

The information content made Zhao Qirui, who was in a good mood just now, angry!

In those years, he sent his confidants to find Fugui hall, hoping to get some financial help from the other party, but no one has been found! That confidant knew a lot of his secrets and had to find out. As a result, he got such an answer after so long!

Killed? Who else can it be? The first suspect is Zhou yanlang of Fugui hall!

Zhao Qirui thought for a moment and called a steward.

"Is there any news about Fugui hall recently?"

The steward shook his head and replied, "fuguitang has sold almost all the industries in the ten prefectures in southern Beijing. As for what it has done, there is no news!"

"Hum, you want to hide and hide? It's not that easy! Concentrate on checking for me. Dig three feet and find someone for me!"

After some experience, many characters will choose to stay away from the noise and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. From then on, they will live two days unrelated to the Jianghu! The more aboveboard saying is "wash your hands in a golden basin", and some people naturally do things quietly in order to avoid their enemies!

But choosing to retire is your own business, not your enemy! Whether you can achieve your wish depends on whether you can hide it and whether the other party can find it!

——————

Zhao Qixuan has become more and more emotional recently. She also knows the problem, but she is still trapped in it and can't extricate herself!

Ye Baimei knows what happened, naturally knows the reason, and understands her inexplicable moods. So I suggested that she go to work, which might distract some of her attention. Zhao Qixuan also thought it was a way.

At first, it worked, but when I came back today, I obviously had a look of resentment and unhappiness!

Ye Baimei, who was good at observing words and expressions, asked all the people to leave the yard. Then she smiled and asked Zhao Qixuan, "what's the matter? Aren't you happy again?"

She knows Zhao Qixuan too well. Zhao Qixuan has been annoyed and worried about state affairs before, but it is definitely not such a grudge. Only one person can make Zhao Qixuan have such a little daughter's mood.

Who does this resentment give to? Find one person all over the world!

Ye Baimei is now regarded by Zhao Qixuan as her best friend who knows her mind.

"Aunt!"

Looking at Zhao Qixuan's face wronged and ready to cry, ye Baimei leaned over, put her head in her arms and said gently, "did he provoke you again?"

"Yes!"

"What's the matter? Tell me. If you really can't forgive him, you'd better start to clean him up!"

"Today, in Chaoshang, the state of Dazhu made a proposal to set up a Qinjiang economic strategy Yamen in order to calm the banditry in Qinjiang!"

"What's so unhappy about this?"

"But da Zhu Guo proposed that Zhang Zhou be the head of the Yamen! Needless to say, it was clearly Zhang Zhou's idea!"

"This is not a bad thing? He has the idea of developing Qinjiang, which is not bad for the Empire!"

"Aunt, it doesn't matter if he doesn't feel at ease to stay in dachaoyun temple! Now a decent official wants to get away from dachaoyun temple. He's full of his own business plans, but what about me? How did he promise me?"

"Oh? What did he promise you?"

Ye Baimei really doesn't know what Zhang Zhou promised!

Zhao Qixuan also knew that she had made a mistake, but she was really oppressed if she didn't say it.

"He said that when he left dachuyun temple, he would think of a way to solve the problem!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhao Qixuan buried his head deeper and whispered, "I have a problem with him!"

Ye Baimei sighed faintly. All this is so similar to her past! She wanted to say, what's the use of men's promises? However, she really couldn't bear to hurt Zhao Qixuan. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Qixuan is a strong and courageous figure, but she knows that Zhao Qixuan is only a weak and vulnerable ordinary woman emotionally!

"Did you refute the proposal of Dazhu country?"

Zhao Qixuan shook her head. Ye Baimei stroked her hair and shook her head. Woman! After all, my heart is soft!

"What do you want to do?"

"Aunt, I want to go to Suzhou!"

Ye Baimei said in her heart: what if she goes? Haven't you been cajoled by that guy's sweet words? If Zhang Zhou doesn't hold his vital door, he's afraid it's hard to keep it down!

"Since you are not opposed by the government, give him more time. Anyway, it's almost the new year. He should go back to Hezhou and ask him face to face at that time. Emotionally, women must calm down and take the initiative in everything. Instead, they despise themselves, okay?"

Zhao Qixuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"All right!"

"What's interesting about facing up?" Ye Baimei wanted to pull her thoughts.

Zhao Qixuan more or less released some hidden grievances and calmed down a lot! Some shyly loosened Ye Baimei, straightened her sideburns and breathed a sigh!

"Sima Jingyan, for the reason of internal instability in Nanping Prefecture, please stay in Nanping Prefecture for more time! My father has approved..."

"The shipping encountered another big storm and sank three grain ships. The Ministry of household wrote again to suggest Longzhou reclamation. The father and the emperor relaxed his attitude this time and ordered the prime minister to organize various departments to discuss whether it was feasible! Tang Wenxuan proposed to cooperate with the Kyushu caravan to transport grain by land. Although many people opposed it, I think we can have a try..."

Seeing that she had a hopeless way to "solicit business for her own family", ye Baimei sighed and asked, "Oh, your majesty has always had a clear attitude towards reclamation! How could it happen this time..."

"The water disaster in the Southwest has led to a shortage of grain across the country. This year, less than half of the grain handed over by all localities in previous years. The frontier army has been asking for grain, and the father and emperor have no way!"

"Alas, there are so many things in such a big country!"

"The most interesting thing today is that the right waiter Ke of the Ministry of rites asked to be transferred to Qinzhou. Hehe, not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty at that time, his father and emperor all looked incredible!"

"And such a thing? Who forced him to do it?"

"No one forced him, voluntary!"

Ye Baimei suddenly thought of the Qinjiang JINGLUE Yamen and said, "will it have something to do with that guy!"

Zhao Qixuan smiled.

"Nine times out of ten! I think Tong Ke is optimistic about Zhang Zhou's potential and plans to give it a go!"

"It is said that Tong Ke is a famous henpecked man. His wife will not agree to such a thing. It is estimated that there will be a lot of jokes in the circle of official wives in Kyoto!"

"My aunt guessed wrong this time! After making a request to Tong Ke, my father joked that the family arrangement was safe! Tong Ke replied that his wife thought men should have experience!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"By Zhang Zhou's means, if you really need Tong Ke to go to Qinzhou to help, Mrs. Tong's problem is of course nothing!"

But the complacency on her face didn't hang for long and became gloomy again.

"This bad man must be that he didn't think about it at all, otherwise how could he not think of a way?"

——————

Guzhou, one of the three states in southern Xinjiang, is the border of the Tang Dynasty. The terrain is no less than that of Qinzhou. With overlapping peaks and closed traffic, it is a bad place to survive! If there is not a prosperous society, relying on minerals to support the facade, poor will not lose Qinzhou!

There is a small lake near Guzhou city! The north of the empire is yellow and cold, but here is full of green.

This small lake has excellent scenery, with pavilions, birds singing and flowers fragrant. It is not inferior to the scenery of Suzhou! It is impossible for ordinary people to appreciate all this, because this large area of land is a forbidden area and belongs to one person - Zhao Qianyi, king of Southern Xinjiang!

Zhao Qianyi is less than 40 years old, but he is surprisingly fat! Sitting on a bamboo chair, looking from a distance, I can't tell whether to lie or sit!

He has been here for fifteen years. Every inch of the scenery here is no longer a scenery for him, but he is still willing to Taotao every day and doesn't feel depressed! Although Zhao Qianyuan limited their scope of activities and deprived them of some privileges, he did not interfere with how they luxurious their lives!

"Prince, a fish is on the hook!" a beautiful and outstanding concubine in her twenties cheered.

Zhao Qianyi was about to fall asleep. Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his pole and a big golden carp jumped out of the water!

"Hahaha, good reminder! This fish is for you. I'll cook it myself and stew it. Let's have fish soup tonight!"

Then he turned and looked. A steward behind him asked, "hasn't Hezhou lie arrived yet?"

"Back to the Lord, it has been transported!"

"That's good. I can get drunk tonight! Let them have more luck next time. They always calculate to drink. It's too uncomfortable!"

"Little understand!"

At this time, on a shady willow path behind him, a figure appeared. Zhao Qianyi caught a glimpse of someone and said softly, "you all go down!"

The beautiful concubine didn't even dare to pick up the golden carp jumping on the grass, and quickly backed down together with others.

Until everyone left, Zhao Qianyi looked at the jumping and struggling golden carp, stepped on its whole head with a soft foot, snorted and sneered, "why don't you step down and eavesdrop?"

……

"Since Jin Laoyou wants to leave so much, there's no need to come back! It's a pity that the minerals of xinglonghui have been discarded!"

"Don't worry, my subordinates have arranged it according to your instructions!"

"Qinguan, the opportunity is for you, but if you make a fool of yourself at that time, don't blame the king for breaking the bridge over the Qilin gate!"

Qin Guan hurriedly knelt on his knees.

"Several elders in the gate will also go out this time. They will never let the Lord down!"

"Hehe, I still know your strength. Those old guys have commendable courage, but their strength is mediocre. I will provide you with some help at that time. Remember, you must kill the snake and can't give it a chance to live! Whether the Qilin gate can recover its glory this time depends on your own efforts!"

"The king's great kindness to Qilin gate and Qinguan cannot be repaid by the death of Qinguan!"

"Hahaha, if you want to die, it's enough to die once!"

Zhao Qianyi looked at the lake and suddenly threw the fishing rod out directly. He saw that the fishing rod was like an arrow, straight into the center of the small lake. With a bang, it blew up a huge spray.

"Fifteen years! I've had enough!"

——————

Zhang Zhou carefully opened the box and saw several paper tubes with the thickness of eggs placed side by side. He gently took one out and looked at it carefully. It was very similar to the large firecrackers in previous lives!

"What's the effect?"

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. The power is absolutely amazing. You are satisfied!"

Zhang Zhou doesn't joke about Guan Xiaolou. It's common to see more strange. The power of this gunpowder can't exceed TNT, so the power will never surprise himself, but it's enough to surprise the world!

"Is it stable?"

"Well, at the request of my brother-in-law, I have experimented no less than 500 times and injured several people. Basically, there is no problem!"

"Xiao Lou, do you know the meaning of this thing?"

"Meaning?"

"It means that this thing can change... A lot!"

He wanted to say that he would change the pattern of the world, and he was worried about causing Guan Xiaolou's wishful thinking, so he didn't say it clearly!

The world already has gunpowder, but it is not widely used. It is almost useless except making firecrackers for fireworks entertainment. As a jumper, he naturally knows the value of gunpowder better than anyone. The idea of explosive development has long been in mind. Since the formation of the scale of Zhang Yuan, Guan Xiaolou was responsible for it and secretly organized people to carry out development.

Zhang Zhou only remembers the simplest configuration proportion, and all the others are entrusted to Guan Xiaolou for experiment and deployment! Some time ago, it was finally developed successfully, but it didn't make an official appearance!

It was also because of this breakthrough that Zhang Zhou dared to talk about "planning" Qinzhou. When the old Taoist mentioned Wanjin Shimen, Zhang Zhou dared to say "it's not a big problem"!
