Infrastructure masters in the red building

When Jia Fang left the palace, His Majesty the Emperor looked at his back with a gloomy face.

Dai Quan was dripping with cold sweat, thinking that no one had ever had the guts to stand up to the emperor so hard.When he saw the emperor stroking his chest, he became very nervous, for fear that the emperor would spit out another mouthful of blood due to Jia Fang's anger (he had already spit out another mouthful of anger earlier, and the imperial doctor said that the blood did not return to the meridian, and there was no serious problem).

But Dai Quan didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor saw Jia Fang leave with his own eyes, and there was only one thing on his mind: this kid's temper and his back that didn't look back were exactly the same as Xiang Xiaoyuan back then.

If Xiaoyuan hadn't such a temperament, it would be rare for the emperor to fall in love with him.As for the Ninth Five-Year Lord, you see a lot of good-looking skins, but there is only one disobedient soul.

"Wait, what is this?" The emperor suddenly stopped the little eunuch who was cleaning Jia Fang's house.

"Returning to the emperor, this is drawn by Jia... Mr. Jia after he got up early this morning." The little eunuch replied tremblingly.

"Hurry up and submit it," Dai Quan said anxiously, thinking that these newcomers really have no eyesight.

The emperor took those patterns and saw the image of the small hole left by Jia Fang—the diagram is concise, but very clear, so that people can understand at a glance that the light travels in a straight line, and through the small hole, an inverted image is reflected.

Turning over another one, it was refracted by a prism, without colored ink, so he wrote "red orange yellow green blue blue purple" on the side to indicate different colors of light, and also specially marked "spectral sequence" next to it typeface.

The emperor didn't know what it meant, but he felt very profound when he saw it.Even if you want to question it, think about it, that kid demonstrated it to him last night, and there are facts out there—at such a young age, it is amazing that he can learn so much knowledge from the Royal Garden Library so quickly. A prodigy, he deserves to be his own son!

Xiang Fengyi once said in person that what kind of knowledge can be obtained from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion depends on the knowledge seeker's own knowledge and vision-in this way, Jia Fang is indeed the heir who is very suitable for that fairy garden.

But once the pattern was covered, the emperor became inexplicably depressed: If he hadn't listened to Xiao Yuan's words back then, and let the child be raised outside the palace, would it mean that he would have an unprecedentedly excellent heir?

But do children raised in the palace still have the patience and perseverance to rebuild and polish a garden day after day?

In this way, the son born to him and the one he loves the most will always stand in the dark shadow, and his identity will always be the bastard of the Jia family.No matter what he did, he felt that he could not fully compensate...

"Your Majesty, the crown prince has arrived," Dai Quan asked quietly, "Have you seen it?"

Thinking of the prince's temperament, the emperor couldn't help but sighed, and said, "He's smart enough to get out of Beijing."

As soon as Dai Quan heard this, he knew that the prince was not in danger this time.Although the Taoist priest this time was recommended by the prince, it also determined that the prince's suspicion was not great. What the emperor wanted to see was just an attitude.

When Jia Fang left the Li Palace on the outskirts of Beijing, he saw with his own eyes that the prince brought only one or two servants to the gate of the Li Palace, got off his horse, rolled and cried, and rushed into the Li Palace.

Jia Fang stuck out his tongue quietly and slipped away quietly.

Earlier, he rather "rebelliously" rejected His Majesty's overtures, probably because he was angry, so no one arranged a car for him when he left. Seeing that, he was asked to drive No. 11 to go back.

It makes sense for Jia Fang to think about it, he's not really a character, and he doesn't have any apparent relationship with the master of Li Palace, so why should he ask others to take care of everything.

He found a guard guarding the palace gate and asked the way.The guard probably had never encountered this kind of thing before. When he came out of the palace and needed to ask the way to walk home, he was stunned for a moment before pointing the way to Jia Fang.

Jia Dang strided out on the road, calculated in his mind the time he took the car with Jia Daishan yesterday, and estimated that it would be tonight to walk back to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, after walking two miles, when he was about to ask for directions at a fork in the road, someone suddenly called out in doubt: "Third Master?!"

It was none other than Zhao Cheng.This guy has been waiting here for some time. When he saw it, he rubbed his eyes and confirmed that it was the little master. He jumped out of the car and came to Jia Fang ecstatically: "Master, You are out!"

"Grandpa Guo said that you might pass by here, so let me wait here to pick you up," Zhao Cheng continued, "I also said, how can they not let you just walk back to Beijing like this?" ..."

Jia Xin felt a sudden warmth in his heart, Jia Daishan was really thoughtful in everything.

Zhao Cheng picked Jia Fang into the car, and the driver drove him back to Rongguo Mansion. Before Jia Fang could return to his own yard, he was sent directly to Jia Daishan's foreign study.When I entered the room, I saw Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua sitting in the room.When the two saw Jia Fang coming in, they all stood up in unison.

Jia Fang saluted his father and uncle, and thanked Jia Daishan for the car driving: "Otherwise, the child may have to walk for half a day before arriving home at night."

Jia Daishan was so surprised that Jia Fang's tone was still the same as before, and he was speechless.On the contrary, Jia Daihua smiled, patted his cousin on the shoulder, and said to Jia Daishan: "You father and son talk slowly." Then he left and went back to Ningfu.

Only then did Jia Daishan have the opportunity to sit down with Jia Fang and face each other alone.

It took half a day for the father to hesitantly say to his son, "You... know everything?"

Jia Fang shook his head: "I still don't fully understand." The main reason is that I haven't figured out whether there are people who have been cheated on or who have been cheated on.

So Jia Daishan could only tell the details of those old events in front of his son.Jia Fang asked various questions while making indirect remarks, wanting to see if there was any past love between his father and Ms. Xiang Xiaoyuan.

When he discovered that the relationship between Jia Daishan and the Xiang family was more about the old kindness with Xiang Fengyi and the brother-sister friendship with Xiaoyuan's younger sister, Jia Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the emperor Even if you are jealous, you will not be sour.

Jia Daishan couldn't hear his son's implication. He blushed and explained the past clearly, and then asked with concern: "How?"

Jia Fang stood up, took a step back, saluted Jia Daishan, and said, "Father—"

At this moment, Jia Daishan was so relieved that his eyes were a little sore.

Jia Fang went to the Li Palace in the suburbs of Beijing and did not return overnight. Jia Daishan had a premonition that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't hold back Jia Fang's life experience, and he definitely wanted to tell his son.

He has also considered where the Jia family will be located. Jia Fang is on the genealogy of his old Jia family.But with the imperial power above him, he has neither the qualifications nor the power to do anything, and he doesn't even have the chance to ask for it.

If Jia Fang is really recognized as the Sixth Prince and returned to the palace, the Second Rongning Mansion will naturally become the power behind the Sixth Prince because of their relationship with Jia Fang.As the heir of the holy car and his beloved, the sixth prince will definitely have an impact on the current court situation once he returns to the palace, and there may be changes in the succession of the emperor after a hundred years.

But who would have imagined that the child raised by the old lady, who had no direct blood relationship with the mansion, was still standing in front of him, calling himself father.

It has always been difficult to decide which is more important than giving birth to kindness or nurturing kindness, but now this child has chosen to stay in this mansion, continue to bear this surname, and live a good life in a down-to-earth manner.

At this time, Jia Daishan was completely relieved, knowing that the Jia family could at least live for a while without having to stand in line and hang around closely behind the emperor.

He didn't know that Jia Fang was muttering in his heart at the moment: My surname is Jia...

Not long after Jia Fang returned to his mansion, he continued to stare at his garden.

At this time, spring has come, and the apricot blossoms near Daoxiang Village in the garden are blooming, and a large area is red, like clouds.From Jia Fang's point of view, the Red Fragrance Garden has almost been repaired, but the Jin Tower is still in progress.

On this day, Jia placed the on-site command of "stealing beams and changing pillars" at the site of Zhuijin Building. This is not a method such as "stealing the sky and changing the sun" or "replacing the peach with a plum instead of a stiff", and it is not one of the 36 strategies, but an authentic engineering construction operation method——

Earlier, the craftsmen had already supported the roof with poles to fully support the beams of the Zhuijin Building, and then slowly removed various components connected to the decayed columns.After all the loads of the pillars are removed together and no force is applied, the workers dig deep grooves around the pillars and take out the foundation stones of the pillars.Then the new pillars were installed.

It took more than half a day to change the column for one column. Seeing that it was too late to change the second column, Jia Fang simply told everyone to rest.

Only then did a group of craftsmen have time to relax and drink some water and eat some cold lunch.

At this time, Jia Fang invited a gardener to come to the water in the garden to plant aquatic plants such as water chestnut and water lily in the water near Zilingzhou. Everyone ate and watched at the same time.The weather was fine, and the scenery in the garden was close to the "best state". Gradually, even the sound of talking and chatting disappeared, leaving only the sound of chewing and people's heartfelt admiration.

At this time, someone came in a hurry, and shouted loudly while running: "Third Master, Third Master, it's terrible——"

As soon as Jia Fang heard the voice, he knew it was the "immature" Zhao Cheng.

"what happened again?"

"Master told you to go and go..." Zhao Cheng was so stuttered that he couldn't even speak, "Go to Daoxiang Village!"

—— Daoxiang Village? !

Jia Fang had a vague premonition that something was wrong.He got up quickly, took a shortcut and ran towards Daoxiang Village, but he didn't hear Zhao Cheng say happily behind him: "Our third master is really a noble man!"

He ran to Daoxiang Village in one breath, and sure enough, he saw two rows of palace guards standing outside the gate of the small wooden courtyard. Their faces were vaguely familiar. Those ones.

Before Jia Fang could say hello to the guards, Dai Quan came out from nowhere and hurriedly said, "Young Master Jia, you are finally here. Your Majesty is waiting inside."

Jia Fang's mood was a bit complicated: he gave a clear answer last time, rejected the "good intentions" of the other party, resolutely refused to accept the status of the prince, and still wanted to live as the son of the Jia family. At that time, the old emperor vomited blood, why? At this time, came to the door again?

Besides, the last time the emperor visited the garden, it was a huge battle. Everyone in the two mansions mobilized and stayed up all night to barely complete the pick-up.

He looked at Dai Quan, and saw the other party smiling obsequiously, knowing that it shouldn't be such a bad thing, he nodded immediately and followed Dai Quan into the hospital.

His Majesty the Emperor is standing in the main courtyard of Daoxiang Village at this moment, facing the nave painted by Mi Fu, and the couplet that once made him cry.

After Jia Fang brought him there, the emperor didn't turn his head back, but said to Dai Quan, "Old Dai, go out and close the courtyard gate, no one is allowed in."

Dai Quan repeatedly responded, exited the small courtyard, and closed the courtyard door.Jia Fang heard him order: "The Holy Spirit has ordered that no one is allowed to enter this courtyard—anyone!"

The small courtyard of Daoxiang Village temporarily became a stable and closed world.

"It was like that that day. I was imprisoned in this small courtyard. The emperor sent someone to kill me, but King Qing kept him in the palace. Xiaoyuan got the news and slipped into the garden to see me. She stretched out her hand to me. , said: 'Follow me'..."

Jia Fang: I finally understand how the emperor escaped from the captivity of King Qing.

But in this way, King Qing's attitude is indeed worth pondering.The result of this powerful minister with power over the government and the public eventually ended up in ruins, which has something to do with the decision at this moment.

Of course, it is also very likely that King Qing thought that His Majesty the Emperor was more suitable to be a ruler than the Prince Yizhong whom he had helped bring to the throne, so King Qing chose to sacrifice himself.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Jia Fang, and stretched out his hand to him. The veins on the back of the hand were bulging, as if telling the vicissitudes and bitterness that this person had experienced.

"Fang'er, don't you really plan to invite me to take a look at your territory, your...Xanadu?"

His voice was a little trembling, full of anticipation, but not without hesitation.

Jia Fang was a little moved, the emperor knew about Taoyuan Village, he had already expected it, but knowing at this moment, Jia Fang was completely sure that the emperor was serious about handing over Taoyuan Village to him, and asked him to use it as a test field for social experiments .

Just because he is Xiang Xiaoyuan's son.

So he reached out to the tired-looking man, who put his hand on his wrist.

The other party held it tightly, as if he wanted to hold on tightly and never let go—this reminded Jia Fang that His Majesty the Emperor was not a really sick man. The altar was thrown down directly, and he once held Jia Fang's wrist, making it very difficult for him to shake off.

Jia Fang collected his mind and looked up at the couplet in the main room.

"Fei Changfang can't stop loving, and Nuwa's can't stop Lihentian."

The smoke and rain in Mi Fu's pen began to flow, and the ground whip was slowly opened towards Jia Slow. Jia Fang turned back and held the emperor's palm tightly, supporting him, and leading him through the old road 16 years ago. They walked slowly towards the common peach blossom garden in their hearts.

When he came to Taoyuan Village, the first thing His Majesty did was to pay homage to the tablet of Yi in the Xianliang Temple.

Jia Fang: I'm taking my own life.I ran back and forth between these two ends so many times, but I never noticed that the enshrined here turned out to be King Qing's tablet.

His Majesty the Emperor took a quick sink from his purse, lit it with flint, and placed it in the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet. The Emperor himself prayed silently, then turned his head and said to Jia Fang, "Come, kowtow to your grandfather."

Jia Fang: ...

He really didn't expect that King Qing Xiang Fengyi, the man who was called a sinner of the Xiang family by the crown prince Xia Xingshen, actually owned a "virtuous temple" in a remote southern village.

Emperor: "I ordered people to build this Temple of Virtue."

Jia Fang: No wonder...

Emperor: "I understand the teacher's heart best. He calls himself 'Fong Yi', and the only person he will serve in his life is this country, not me, the emperor."

Jia Fang: Thinking about it this way, it seems that this grandfather of King Qing is indeed worthy of a virtuous temple.

"After I re-entered the Great Treasure, the teacher pleaded guilty and asked me to punish him with capital punishment. He said that if he didn't die, there would be no reason for my restoration, and it would be difficult for me to stay in the country for more than ten years." His Majesty the Emperor sighed for a long time. , "I have no choice but to act according to his words, but I can only build a temple for him in this remote mountain village."

"This is... the only thing I can do for him."

The emperor was silent for a long time in front of the tablet of the Xianliang Temple, and then turned around and left the Xianliang Temple.Jia Fang hurriedly followed.Together, the two looked at the entire Taoyuan Village from the higher ground in front of the Xianliang Temple.

"This... was originally a small village, but now it has become like this?" His Majesty the Emperor saw the current appearance of Taoyuan Village with his own eyes, and couldn't help being shocked.

The villages he saw more than ten years ago were just small houses on stilts, plus patches of rice fields.The area of ​​the village is not too big.

But now, Taoyuan Village is more than five or six times larger than Taoyuan Village.

The creek that originally flowed by the village has become a wide river, and a bridge has been built on the river.

Pedestrians shuttle back and forth on the bridge, and streets are automatically gathered on the river beach, where tea stalls and restaurants can be found everywhere, and it is very lively.

In the distance, houses and villages in the style of the Central Plains rose from the ground, and there were neat vegetable beds in front of and behind the houses in the village.

The rice fields in the village are not missing at all. Right now is the time when the early rice is growing. The green early rice in the paddy fields is turning neatly with the wind, which seems to indicate that the year will be good this year, and Taoyuan Village will usher in a bumper harvest again. The real "Daoxiang Village".

His Majesty the Emperor saw all this with his own eyes, and couldn't help but feel proud again: Jia Fang is indeed his son, Xiang Fengyi's grandson, let him manage a small village, and he can take care of it in such a short period of time. It is well organized, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the villages are prosperous.

A weird idea came up: What if... the whole country was handed over to him?

As soon as this thought flashed by, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly woke up: This little guy has not even agreed to become Guizong and his own son.

But judging from the current achievements of Taoyuan Village, there is really no reason not to let him have a bigger world to show his strengths.

What's more, there is still a good opportunity to award a reward in front of him-Jia Fang just saved Jia a few days ago, and in the name of saving the emperor, he offered a reward.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor called Jia Fang to his side and asked: "Fang'er, I will decree tomorrow that you will be given the post of Pingnan Jiedu envoy. How about you?"

Even the emperor himself didn't realize that when he said this to Jia Fang, his tone was quite flattering.This is like a father in later generations who was away on a business trip for more than half a year and found that his son refused to recognize himself when he returned home. He panicked and made a bunch of promises, "I will buy you this, buy that... let you It's fun, how about it?"

Jia Fang: ...Mom!

As for such a joke?
