The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Daiyu said: "Don't believe me, otherwise I will be under a lot of pressure, and I don't even believe it myself."

Situ Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Daiyu said: "I always feel that places like rivers are at risk of embankment collapse; secondly, there are people farming around, so it's not safe to hide things. But the Ninth Prince can use this operation to clean up a batch of people manipulated by him. The minions come out. Gather these people together, and then choose a secret place to build the project he wants."

Situ Zhuo smiled and said: "After searching for so long, I searched for loneliness. If you can't find the person who participated in the project, wouldn't you also find nothing?" Also brought out.

Daiyu said: "One is to find an insider, maybe the monk in Beidi will be useful together; the other is to find the blueprint. There are always blueprints for such projects, but I don't know where they are hidden. You say, the emperor gave this house For us, is there any reason for this?"

Situ Zhuo was taken aback: "You mean that the imperial grandfather also suspected that the Ninth Prince had some secret birth?" But after thinking about it for a while, Situ Zhuo himself came to a definite conclusion: "It's not impossible. Then you Do you think if there is a blueprint, will it be in this palace or somewhere else?"

Daiyu said: "Who knows? The palace can't hide a lot of money and weapons, and it's hard to find a few blueprints. I just want to tell you about this. Let's look for it carefully in the palace. You can mention it to the emperor, and say that we have thought of it, but we are not sure. Whether to send someone to investigate, to see what Shuang Shang thinks."

Situ Zhuo hummed, and sighed: "The most ruthless emperor's family, the emperor's grandfather is using us as tool people."

Daiyu only said indifferently: "Shouldn't we be glad that we can still be tool people? If we don't have the worry of being defeated and getting married in a few years, we might not have the chance to make tools. It would be more reassuring to die suddenly."

Situ Zhuo looked seriously into Daiyu's eyes. Daiyu's pupils were big and bright. She had the innocence that a girl of this age should have, but also had a kind of insight that could see through people's hearts. Situ Zhuo couldn't help asking: "Jade Yu?" Son, how do you manage to be so calm in everything? Before I met you, I thought I was a calm enough person, but compared with you, I feel that sometimes I am still emotional."

Daiyu didn't answer this question directly, but said: "If you don't calm down, the Lin family will have the same ending as the original book."

Situ Zhuo's heart trembled, that's right, as soon as he crossed over, he had to do his best to help the East Palace, even now, he could only be a tool in the hands of the emperor.

After helping the two of them and talking for a while, they each slept on an extra-large bed and went to bed.

Speaking of this extra-large bed, there is another episode.It is not suitable for newlyweds to sleep in separate rooms, otherwise it will cause a lot of gossip.But there is no problem with an extra bed, after all, are newlyweds.

Situ Zhuo ordered someone to order an extra-large bed. The bed was so big that if it was finished, it would not be able to be carried through the door. It was assembled by making mortise and tenon joints and moving all parts into the bedroom.Situ Zhuo spent a while working in the Ministry of Industry for the anti-vertigo training on the rollers, and met several excellent carpenters.

Although the new bed has not been made for a long time and has not had time to carve, but both the wood itself and the craftsmanship are first-class.Because of the urgent need, Situ Zhuo ordered only the varnish to prevent cracking and deformation, and nothing else to be done.

Royal utensils have extremely exquisite carvings and complicated craftsmanship, and the final painting and lacquering are also very particular.But Situ Zhuo ordered that it should be simple and generous. Although the craftsmen didn't quite understand Situ Zhuo's aesthetics, they still followed suit.

As a result, after the bed is assembled, it is really simple and elegant, obviously without complicated decorations, but also has a luxurious texture.Situ Zhuo was very satisfied. Apart from being extremely spacious, this bed was made of log color and had a very modern style.

Regardless of Situ Zhuo's aesthetics, not only Situ Zhuo's nanny was satisfied with his act of making an extra-large bed, but even the emperor and prince couple in the palace were satisfied.Young people, good relationship, even Situ Zhuo refused to get married a few years ago, and there were rumors that he loved men, but now the rumors are self-defeating.Even Princess Situzhuo, who is only fourteen years old, can handle it~

As for the concubine, who can't be judged by her appearance, she is also satisfied with this extra-large bed, and no one needs to sleep on the floor.And because the bed is big enough, it is no different from sleeping in a single bed.The only trouble is that Daiyu always likes to be tidy, but every day after getting up, she has to rub the bed into a mess.

Therefore, Situ Zhuo and his wife became a very energetic couple in the eyes of everyone in the palace.The energy of this couple is so strong that they not only toss a big bed into a mess every day, but also have the energy to almost turn the entire palace upside down.

Generally speaking, the yamen is early, and the yamen is also early, so Situ Zhuo Feixiu still has a lot of time for his holiday.During these times, apart from practicing martial arts with Daiyu, Situ Zhuo spends most of his time rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the palace.

This palace used to belong to the nine princes. After the renovation, Situ Zhuo and his wife lived in directly. Even as the masters of the palace, Situ Zhuo and Daiyu were only familiar with the general layout of the palace. In fact, the husband and wife were not familiar with many details.

Both of them had stayed in the army and learned a lot of search skills, but Daiyu had only been a soldier for a few years, while Situ Zhuo had completed a peacekeeping mission and returned to China, so he had much more practical experience than Daiyu.During these days, Daiyu searched here and there with Situ Zhuo and learned a lot.It's just that for things like blueprints, there is still nothing.

Here, Situ Zhuo and his wife lived their lives so wonderfully that Jia Min even asked Su Lan to ask Daiyu if she was in good health, making Daiyu dumbfounded.

And in the court, it was definitely decided that a navy would also be built in the north. The location would be in Weihaiwei, Shandong, and the governor of Shandong would concurrently serve as the commander in chief.

Regarding the location of the establishment of the Northern Navy, there was quite a debate in the court.Some proposed to build it in Vladivostok, because Chen Deyou fled from here;

The history of this world before the Yuan Dynasty is consistent with the real world. There was a division in the late Yuan Dynasty. Now it is equivalent to the early Ming Dynasty, which is the beginning of the fifteenth century. It was less than a hundred years since Columbus discovered the New World, and it was still a few years before the Sino-Japanese War and the defeat of the Qing Dynasty to Japan. For more than 400 years, but if he wants to build a navy in the north, what Situ Zhuo most wants to build is still the Beiyang Navy.Get up wherever you fall.

First of all, Weihaiwei was originally a good place to build water divisions. Secondly, Emperor Taizong believed in the strategic vision of Situ Zhuo and Lin Daiyu, and Situ Zhuo proposed this place to pass quickly.Even the name of this navy is called Beiyang Navy, and this name was not suggested by Situ Zhuo, but was negotiated by the court.

Only the candidate for the establishment of the navy, Emperor Taizong still did not use Situ Zhuo.Instead, the governor of Shandong will transfer some of the Beijing camp officers and soldiers trained by Jia Jing, and some officers and soldiers will be transferred back from Quanzhou, and some recruits will be recruited in Shandong, and the navy will be formed.

As for sea-going ships, Songjiang is still the largest sea-going shipbuilding yard in the imperial court, and the current sea-going ship-building technology is much more advanced than that of the previous royal family.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of skilled craftsmen in this land. In the past, no one was doing research on building seagoing ships, because the sea trade business was monopolized by the Wang family. Even if other houses built seagoing ships, they might not be able to make a profit. disaster.At present, the imperial court has invested heavily in the franchise of sea trade, and anyone who can see the direction of the wind is encouraging improvement and building sea-going ships.

New seagoing ships have been launched every year in recent years, and each one is an improvement over the previous one.Shipbuilding technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in China.Just like during World War I and World War II, the development of science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and now the shipbuilding technology of this dynasty is also in this stage of rapid development with sufficient power.According to Situ Zhuo's estimation, the seagoing ships of the Daling Dynasty are now sufficient for ocean voyages to and from Europe and America.

When Situ Zhuo talked about this with Daiyu, he said: "However, the sea voyage of the Great Spirit Dynasty is different from the period of the great European voyage. The Heaven | Chaoshang Kingdom cannot do things like colonize overseas and sell slaves, which means that It is not profitable for the imperial court to open up routes to America. The only way to make money now is to sell silk, tea and porcelain to Europe."

This is also the truth. At the current stage of development, the Great Spirit Dynasty is indeed ahead of the world in all aspects, and it can be self-sufficient even if it is closed to the outside world.In the real world, perhaps it is precisely because the development is too perfect, and the experience can operate independently after the country is closed, which caused Zheng He to gradually block the port after his voyages.

Daiyu said: "It would be valuable if we could sail far to the Americas. If we could introduce a few crops, it would far outweigh the economic impact. The question now is, if we bring this up, wouldn't it be a godsend?" The reputation of the waiter and Fairy Crimson Pearl?"

Situ Zhuo said: "In the future, if we have the opportunity to go sailing in person, it would be nice to be able to introduce these things. I don't know how long this world can last. If it will continue to develop into a world parallel to the real world, and grasp the initiative of the great voyage, maybe It can avoid the century-old humiliation in the real world since the Opium War."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Let's talk about it after passing the hurdle in front of us. Why don't you, my lord, go to the booklet and invite you to be a feudal lord."

Situ Zhuo said: "Then you don't want to find the secret storehouse left by the Ninth Prince?"

Daiyu said: "Just submit the papers. If the emperor asks us to continue looking for the relics of the Ninth Prince, we will naturally not let us go to the domain. If we don't look for it or the emperor asks others to look for it, then the domain will not be approved."

Situ Zhuo said: "Although this is the truth, if you do the calculations now, if you are now a vassal, it will probably be the Western Regions. Now the defenders of the Western Regions are King Nan'an, and Princess Zhong of Nan'an is from Cheng'en Gong's mansion. Now Cheng'en Gong is asked to behead Now, this Cheng Engong is a concubine, a mascot to support his father and king. If King Nan'an sees the relationship inside, I'm worried that he will jump the wall in a hurry.

I didn't mean to belittle you, in terms of wisdom, you are much better than me.But the first one in the Western Regions has to worry about the problem of altitude sickness. If the king of Nan'an sees that he will die if he does not return to the court, and revolts, the risk of our vassal this time is no less than that of General Ye Hongde to go to northern Xinjiang.You, a little girl in her teens, go through this hardship, after all, I can't bear it. "

Daiyu said with a smile, "So the prince wants to write the book as soon as possible, and if you don't play it, please bring the soldiers with you."

Situ Zhuo was startled when he heard this, and said: "Without soldiers..." Isn't that like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth?

Daiyu nodded and hummed, and said: "Firstly, King Nan'an's family is in the capital, so he has some scruples; secondly, if we bring soldiers with us, we will definitely irritate King Nan'an."

"Could it be... singing an empty city plan?"

Daiyu said: "Why not? The king of Nan'an will not know what kind of reputation we have. We just went empty-handed, and the king of Nan'an would suspect that the emperor wanted to use his hands to get rid of us, and he would ask the teacher to punish us. The imperial court is famous for being a good teacher. If so, what would King Nan'an do?"

Situ Zhuo thought about it from the perspective of King Nan'an, and said, "Actually, the fault that King Nan'an made was not great. Like King Dongping, he may have participated in forcing the palace when the imperial power overlapped in his previous life, but in this life he is at least in Changkang Palace. Before he was convicted, Concubine Zhong couldn't command him. Like King Dongping, who voluntarily surrendered his military power, there is no way out. If I were King Nan'an, as long as the imperial court sent someone to surrender, I would ask myself to return to Beijing."

Daiyu said: "If the king of Nan'an is smart, it should be so. Therefore, we will go to the feudal domain without bringing a large army. It is very likely that the king of Nan'an will interpret it as the emperor's temptation to him. You must know that there are still many princes staying in the capital. As long as the feudal clan does not conform to the precedent, then the king of Nan'an can still earn a living by simply showing obedience. However, we may stimulate the king of Nan'an with our army."

Situ Zhuo said: "That's the reason. If I go to Fan alone, I will go too. But if I want to bring you, I always feel that it is too risky."

Daiyu laughed and said: "As long as you are a fan, you can't leave me with you. The prince should know that we are now a 'loving' couple, like glue."

Situ Zhuo was suddenly restrained by Daiyu's words.In the military camp, especially among comrades-in-arms, a group of elders talked a lot of nasty jokes, especially on the peacekeeping battlefield, and sometimes they could rely on these to relieve pressure.But Daiyu is a little girl in the [-]th or [-]th year of life. Speaking of this, Situ Zhuo always felt a little weird.

Situ Zhuo finally couldn't help asking: "I want to ask a personal question, what was your identity before you crossed over?"

Daiyu was amused by Situ Zhuo's serious and worried expression, and said, "I will tell the prince when the time is right."

After the two discussed it, Situ Zhuo submitted the memorial.Emperor Taizong read the scriptures, but he was not sure or not sure, so he suppressed the matter.That being the case, the two of Daiyu were still trying their best to find the blueprints that the Ninth Prince might leave behind, but they still had nothing to gain.

But what should come will always come. After Daiyu got married, she only spent one New Year's Eve in the palace. The next year, when Daiyu was 15 years old, Emperor Taizong approved Situ Zhuo as a feudal clan, and pointed out that the feudal land was in the northwest.

As soon as the news came out, it caused quite a shock.

This dynasty has established a country since its ancestors, and there is no precedent for clans to become vassals.In the past, most of the people guarding the frontier were kings with different surnames entrusted by the imperial court and military generals with great achievements in the country.After Taizong succeeded to the throne, he didn't let the prince go to the vassal. First, he suddenly let a county king who had just opened the mansion for less than a year go to the vassal, which inevitably aroused various speculations.

Is this...experience or exile?One is to go to the barbaric land in the northwest.

When the officials heard the news, they were nothing more than saying that the west side of the northwest was bordered by the Xihai Kingdom, and the northeastern direction was Beidi. Although King Zhuo is the son of a phoenix and the grandson of a dragon, the Princess of the County is also the daughter of a minister, so she is naturally outstanding.But are Zhuo Junwang and his wife too young?

There was a lot of opposition to this matter. After all, the military power in the Northwest has always been in the hands of the Nan'an king. Does a county king who is not as weak as the crown have the ability to gather military power?

After getting the news, Daiyu immediately went back to her mother's house, and sure enough, Jia Min looked very bad.Seeing her daughter coming back, without waiting for Lin Ruhai to fall into office, Jia Min pulled Daiyu into the bedroom, stepped back and asked, "Yu'er, why is it so good, the emperor suddenly asked you and the prince to become a vassal? After traveling thousands of miles to the Western Regions?" , how can you get used to it?"

Daiyu comforted Jia Min and said: "Mother, don't worry, being a feudal clan has its own benefits."

Jia Min said: "If it's really beneficial, I'll give you a richer fief, I'm not that worried. By the way, isn't it said that you and the prince have a very good relationship? If there is any movement, ask Liu Langzhong to show you , if there is, it is not easy to travel thousands of miles, right?"

It's just sleeping on one bed, even the quilt is separated, it's strange to have any movement.

Daiyu didn't say this, but comforted Jia Min with a stern expression: "Mother, listen to me, the matter of the feudal clan was discussed by me and the prince, and the emperor just said so, I'm afraid it's too early for the specific departure." Then she explained the reason Talked to Jia Min in general terms.

Jia Min cared about it but made chaos, but her own quality was good. After several years of influence, her political quality has improved, and she quickly understood what Daiyu meant.He said: "Although there will be fewer meetings in the future, it is also good. But if you go, how will you get along with the king of Nan'an County? If the king of Nan'an County refuses to hand over the military power, what will you do? How many soldiers and horses will the emperor give you? "

Daiyu thought for a while, and told a white lie, the main reason was that Jia Min was not in good health, if she told her the truth, it would be harmful but not beneficial.After she and Situ Zhuo set off, let her father comfort her.So Daiyu said: "I discussed it with the prince. I asked my brother-in-law first. If my brother-in-law agrees, let my brother-in-law go with us first. After we settle down there, I will pick up Sister Su Lan. As for the other people, the emperor will decide will arrange."

Liu Xianglian has excellent martial arts skills. Jia Min felt a little more at ease when he heard that Liu Xianglian was going to take her with him.

When Lin Qing heard that Situ Zhuo and his wife were going to join the feudal clan, he was shocked at first, and then discussed with the prince: "Qilang is only a young man, so he will go to the frontier to station, not to mention anything else, if those old ministries of the King of Nan'an refuse to listen to him, it will be trouble in the future." , Why did the emperor suddenly give the order to become a vassal?"

The prince didn't know, and said, "How do I know? Ever since the girl in Changkang Palace was found out to be plotting wrongdoing, and her father interrogated Shuilan, her behavior has become more and more incomprehensible. I'll go and talk to my father." The emperor said, if Qilang can't take on this important task, it will not be beautiful."

Even Situ Rui felt that it was too hasty for Situ Zhuo to go to the feudal clan like this, and asked Situ Zhuo: "If the seventh brother doesn't want to go to the northwest, let's go and beg the emperor's grandfather together?"

Daiyu returned to the palace from Lin's house, and Situ Zhuo was also busy outside all day.

After the meal, Situ Zhuo asked: "I think this matter is strange, the imperial grandfather's order is too sudden."

Daiyu said: "It was very sudden, but you don't have to worry, my lord, I don't think we may be able to make the trip this time?"

"What do you mean?"

Daiyu said: "Your lord, do you remember that my father wrote a booklet and invited the maritime trade franchise. The emperor also released half of the news, which caused the nine princes to reveal their ambitions."

Situ Zhuo came to his senses in no time, and said, "Fishing to enforce the law? The imperial grandfather also saw that someone couldn't hold back?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "Look, the emperor knows it well, and the prince is also careful. Look at the issue of our feudal clan, who is not really anxious."

Heh, Emperor Taizong can't forget his fishing skills because he hasn't fished in the past few years.

Although it has been almost a year since Situ Zhuo moved out of the palace, his intelligence network in the palace has not been abolished at all. In the past few days, which of Situ Zhuo's six prince brothers has entered the palace and how long ago did he come out? Situ Zhuo is very clear.Of course, Emperor Taizong knew it too.

There are seven princes under the prince's knees who are currently running the mansion, and the entire East Palace is almost pleading for Situ Zhuo. Only the prince's second son, Situ Jin, expressed his opinion on this matter. I think the seventh brother is smart and loves martial arts. High-strength and capable enough to control the military power in the Northwest.

After Emperor Taizong was diagnosed and treated by Liu Xing, although he returned to the court, he knew his own physical condition.Doing the same thing now feels a lot more tired than in previous years, and Emperor Taizong knew that he was getting closer and closer to the deadline.

Now the maritime trade franchise is doing well, the imperial court has opened up a route to Persia, and the intermediate profits earned by many Persian merchants in the past have been partially returned to the imperial court.In the future, the history books will naturally have to be written down.What Emperor Taizong has to do now is to stabilize the situation in the court and eliminate unstable factors.

Taizong himself experienced seizing the heir, and one of his own sons attempted rebellion, and even succeeded in Shui Lan's dream.Now the crown prince's position is stable, but Taizong would not fail to see the intention of someone spreading gossip about Situ Zhuo and his wife before.

So Xiao Xiao used a trick, and sure enough, Situ Jin was exposed.They were both grandsons of the emperor. At Emperor Taizong's age, he couldn't punish Situ Jin heavily for spreading rumors, so he handed over the repair of the imperial mausoleum to Situ Jin for a small punishment.

But Situ Jin had just lost the crown, so she showed her ambition. Even if she went to build the imperial mausoleum, she felt that it was a heavy blow, and she secretly hated Situ Zhuo.

Some things, even though the general structure of the DPRK and China is completely different from the previous life, it still happened.

This year's summer was extremely hot, even though several basins of ice were placed in the dormitory, Emperor Taizong still felt bored, and then he received an urgent letter from eight hundred miles, and the imperial army and the Xihai army clashed and started fighting.
