Gu Qingci

Not long after Liu Yuehua arrived in Qingzhou, the first line of canals began to resume work.

Because it was only a few days before the completion of the project, I went to the site every day, and even sent people from the restaurant to investigate along the route, for fear that similar things would happen again.

Liu Yuehua was not idle either. Apart from supervising the canal with me, he also made unannounced visits to various places in Qingzhou. It seemed that he was sent by the emperor to inspect the people's livelihood.

Liu Yueying has been on the throne for more than five years, and the harem is empty, and those ministers are already in a hurry.She now involves Liu Yuehua in all major events, but her intentions are becoming clearer and clearer - it is clear that she is to be made the heir.

As for why the harem was not set up to spread its branches and leaves... Alas, it probably has something to do with me.

The first waterway of the canal was finally completed, before the scorching heat.

At the beginning of July in the fifth year of Tianjia, the first line of the canal was officially opened to navigation.

On the day of the opening of the voyage, the people in Qingzhou and Cangzhou next door pushed each other and ran to the bank of the river to see this huge project.

When the auspicious time came, Liu Yuehua gave an order, and the people from the Ministry of Industry ignited countless piles of explosives. The loud rumbling sound echoed in the ears, and the birds in the forest not far away were shaken and flew into the sky.

The earth wall was blown down by the huge impact force of the explosives, and the turbulent water flow started from the tributary of the Beitong River and spread all the way to the south, rushing all the way, and finally filled the entire deep and long gully.

The navigating ceremony was a busy day. In the evening, Liu Yuehua and I finished all the celebrations and returned to the wing very tired.

"You are really good, such a big project has been completed with your persistence." Liu Yuehua rarely praised me.

"The first-line navigation is successful, and it's time to consider the second-line."

"You've been working so hard. It's hard to finish a big project. You don't want to rest, but you have to be busy with the next thing."

"The eldest princess really doesn't care about Daxing's state affairs."

"Where there is nothing!" She sat up straight, slumped on the chair.

"Speaking of which, you have been away from the capital for half a year. Even if you don't want to go back to the capital, don't you..." She squinted at me, "Don't you think about Miss Huang at all?"

I was taken aback when I asked.

"Don't worry about me and your sister, children."

Liu Yuehua raised her willow eyebrows: "What?!" Children are so irritating.

"Yang Li! I'm five years younger than Miss Huang, and three years younger than you. What a child! I'll be nineteen next month!"

"Okay." I'm too tired today to tease her, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"I don't care about you, I care about Miss Huang!" She said loudly, as if it was more imposing this way.

"What happened to the emperor?"

"She's fine, oh, you're annoying! Just tell me, do you miss her?"

"Well, I thought about it."

"Did you just think about it?"

"Otherwise, what else?"

Liu Yuehua saw that I was stubborn, so she took out a gold medal and gave it to me speechlessly.

"Why did you give this thing suddenly? Didn't the emperor give it to you before?" He looked at her suspiciously.

"Did you bring the piece that Huangjie gave you?"

No, it's the bottom of the box.I curled my lips.

"Sister Huang really knows you very well. She specially asked me to bring you another gold medal. She said that you can return to Beijing whenever you want."

Silently accepted the gold medal, and then said: "Understood, thank her for me."

"Hey, when do you plan to go back?"

"I don't know either, as soon as possible."

Liu Yuehua stayed for another five days before returning to Beijing.It's hard for her to live in this small, stuffy place with rough objects for so long.It seems that there is still progress.

I am doing other reforms tailored to local conditions in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou's wine is not as delicious as Rongcheng's, and it always feels a little less flavorful.After researching for a while, it was found that the problem was in the koji.Their koji brewing technology is not mature enough, resulting in low alcohol concentration.

So, I went to various restaurants in Qingzhou to vigorously promote the technology of cellar fermentation, and the richness of the wine was greatly improved.And the fact that the prime minister personally taught people how to make wine quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Timber in Qingzhou has been monopolized for a long time, and the price is too high. I drafted a "Forest Repair Order" and asked the prefect to issue it. The short-term effect is very significant.And because the canal was open to navigation, it brought large and small commodity transactions. The remote Qingzhou, which was originally located on the edge of Beizhen, became more and more prosperous, and the people's evaluation of me was much higher.

My small restaurant gradually grew, Xiao Xiang gave it a name, and then hung a plaque: Shengqinglou.

Xiao Xiang felt that doing things for me was doing things for the court and Daxing, and the prefect handed him over to me again. He was very active. After five months of fierce competition, Shengqing House selected a group of young children with excellent abilities.

At this time, Master rarely contacted me—it seems that the emperor did not make things difficult for him—and sent me two of his favorite students from Dongshan, one can run a restaurant, and the other can guide the collection of information.

The foundation of the restaurant is solid, and the next thing to do is to make it work for the first time.

Not long after, a folk song began to spread in Qingzhou: "The sun hangs high in the sky, the canals are rolling and the water is busy, and the wood grows fast after cutting, all because of the good prime minister."

The common people passed this ballad from word to mouth, and spread to farther places along the canal water.

From the time when Tianjia was punished to leave the capital by Liu Yueying in February of the fifth year of Tianjia, until he returned to Beijing in July of the sixth year of Tianjia, I stayed in Qingzhou for a full year and a half.

During such a long period of time, many major events have happened, which made me clearly know that history has changed—and also made me understand my own heart.

In the past, I didn't have a choice because I was weak and confused; now there are changes because I am strong enough to break through the fog of time and find out the truth.

After Liu Yuehua left Qingzhou, I stayed here alone for another year.During this year, the power of Shengqinglou gradually grew.

Because she didn't hide it from Wuxia, she was willing to help me take care of Shengqing Building.

Wu Xia is a person who surprised me. Sure enough, there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden around the emperor. I underestimated her before.

Wu Xia was trained in the Emei Sect. Her martial arts talent is considered to be among the dragons and phoenixes. If she keeps practicing, she must be a famous heroine. Unfortunately, she was taken to the palace by Pianqiu to serve Liu Yueying when she was a teenager.

Xiao Xiang, Wu Xia and two disciples sent by Master helped me to develop the business of Sheng Qing Lou. The youthful youngsters who were pulled by Sha Yu experienced cruel tests. This restaurant has a great reputation in both black and white. .

Hu Zhongli made me understand the importance of public opinion, so every achievement I made in assisting the prefect in Qingzhou was widely publicized by Sheng Qinglou.

The common people don't know whether Prime Minister Yang has betrayed the country, they only know that Prime Minister Yang has made their lives better, so my reputation is booming, and the common people gradually forget the previous gossip.

Speaking of Hu Zhongli, he has not been sentenced for a long time after he was imprisoned. The first thing Liu Yueying did was to clean up the official circles in the capital.None of the officials who had contact with him could escape, and were implicated and imprisoned one after another.

The officialdom in the capital was shaken, and they were replaced by the new officials who were promoted by her in the spring of Tianjia's fourth year.

All the old officials of the first emperor have retired, and most of the officials in Beijing are newcomers to this dynasty.

It took Liu Yueying five years to finally take back the initiative of the previous dynasty, and the emperor's centralization of power rose to a higher level.

After the first line of the canal was completed, as I wished, the supply of materials and soldiers on the front line was much faster. The fierce fighting power of the Northern Qiang was dragged down and gradually exhausted under Daxing's crowd tactics.

As the war lengthens, whoever has sufficient supplies will gain the upper hand.Sure enough, the stalemate lasted until the first month of the sixth year of Tianjia. In the cold winter, General Xiao Chu led his troops to make a surprise attack to the north, and even drove the Northern Qiang all the way to the border of the grassland. The four northern towns were temporarily no threat.

However, after reaching the grassland, the supply line of Daxing was stretched again, and there was the base camp where the Northern Qiang lived for generations, so the war fell into a stalemate again.

At this time, Liu Yueying finally started to deal with the heinous crime committed by Hu Zhongli.

Assassination of the monarch, collusion with the enemy and traitorous country, embezzlement of officials and bankers, blaming colleagues, forming a party for personal gain, cholera government, all the evidence of the crimes have been clarified, and the arguments are indisputable.

In June of the sixth year of Tianjia, the emperor issued an imperial edict, Hu Zhongli was executed Lingchi and imprisoned the five clans;

The entire Rongcheng was shrouded in blood and blood. The formerly prominent houses collapsed into ruins. Hot blood sprayed to the sky and then gradually solidified.

After eliminating the rebellious party, the power of the imperial court was firmly controlled by Liu Yueying, and the imperial decree was issued again—Prime Minister Yang's sister, Yang Zhi, was falsely imprisoned by the rebel party, but the reason has been found out and she was released without charge.

It was only at this time that I realized that I was doing well in other places, but Yang Zhi was imprisoned by her for a year and a half.

Recalling back then, Chang Shi came to me and didn’t talk about it; when the limelight was tight, Yan Xi and Yan Xi didn’t dare to meet without permission; when they came to Qingzhou, Sha Yu told about Master’s situation, but when I asked about Yang Zhi, he turned away. topic; neither Liu Yuehua nor Master ever spoke to me...

I can't tell what I feel in my heart.

Blame her, why blame?She was trying to get me out of crime and leave Beijing; hating her is not enough.

But my sister has been imprisoned for such a long time, but I don't know anything about it - if Sheng Qinglou can't find it, it can only be that the emperor deliberately concealed it, so that no one will mention it to me.

Yangzhi is my younger sister, and even the wife of my best friend in Beijing.I exchanged her one and a half years of prison for my freedom, how can I live in my heart.

There is no right or wrong in this matter.Liu Yueying was right, but how innocent was Yangzhi Yanxi?

She doesn't let me know, is there a reason?I can only think so.

I originally wanted to consolidate the power of Shengqinglou, gradually develop into Rongcheng, and return to Beijing at the end of this year; but because I know about Yangzhi, I plan to go back immediately.

I want to see Yang Zhi and Yan Xi.

At the beginning, Liu Yueying said that there was no imperial edict and she was not allowed to return to Beijing without authorization, but Liu Yuehua gave me a gold medal, which is the imperial edict.

From the moment I got the gold medal, I could go back anytime.

On the night of July, I packed up my luggage and rode on a big horse to Rongcheng without telling anyone or taking anyone with me.

The pro-army who had secretly protected me was also dismissed by the emperor because of the complete destruction of Hu Zhongli's clique. Neither Wu Xia nor Xiao Xiang knew that I was leaving in such a hurry.

【tomorrow!Our two heroines meet again after all their charms, and they can start a new love again! ps I don’t know when the collection will reach 400. I have been stuck at 390 for almost two weeks, and I have dropped it several times to 389. I am very helpless~]
