"If the pirates are not defeated, I may need to tell you some things. But now that Cai Ni is dead and the East China Sea has regained peace, it will be enough as long as you and Qiu Junmen rely on each other and don't make arbitrary decisions on military matters."

Ruan Yuan also said to Jiang You. However, recalling Jiaqing's previous reply to him, Ruan Yuan asked one more question: "It's just Litang. If there is one thing that I don't know the truth about, I would not be willing to go north like this. After Litang came,

At that time, did you ever ask the canal gangs along the river whether there was any leakage of grain from the canal, or whether it was shoddy or shoddy?"

"Brother Boyuan, I have indeed inquired about this." Jiang Youzhu, who had always paid attention to Zhejiang's political affairs, said to Ruan Yuan: "I have sent many people to the Jiabai Gang in the north to inquire about information. I still know a lot about the grain supply. Here

There is no leakage of grain from the Cao Gang, and most of their orders to you will be fulfilled. That is... In Jiaxing, in the past two years, some gentry have been responsible for the grain harvesting, and they have indeed shoddy the quality.

Although it is not much, if it accumulates over time, it will become a problem."

"How could it be? Leader Yu of the Jiabai Gang has always been in contact with me. How could the Jiabai Gang be so careless about the investigation of Caomi?" Ruan Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Boyuan, the current leader of the Jiabai Gang is named Qin, not Yu?" Jiang Youzhu said puzzledly: "Perhaps, that was their previous gang leader, but now the leader of the Jiabai Gang is in charge, so I secretly investigated

, there is no one named Yu anymore." It turned out that Yu Deshui also died a few months before Ruan Yuan came to Zhejiang because of his old age. Ruan Yuan devoted himself to coastal defense, and was surprised by the changes in the leader of the Jiabai Gang.

Couldn't detect it in time.

"Really... Well, it seems that there are some things I didn't do well in this appointment as governor of Zhejiang." Ruan Yuan thought about Yu Deshui's age and knew that he was probably gone, and he felt a little sad.

Very melancholy.

"Brother Boyuan, there are so many things like this in one province, how can anyone make no mistakes at all? These are small things. Now that I have discovered them, I will take care of them later. In Hangzhou these days, I also

I have inquired about what the people think of you, and most of the people outside know that you serve the people wholeheartedly. With you here, they feel at ease no matter whether they are doing business or working." Jiang Youzhu also comforted Ruan Yuan.

"Really, in that case, I can go north with peace of mind." Ruan Yuan thought that at least most of the people were thinking about his governance of Zhejiang, and nodded with confidence.

Ruan Yuan also told Jiang Youzhu about other general affairs of the Fuyuan that day, and immediately completed the sealing process with him. Two days later, Ruan Yuan and his family hired a boat and once again said goodbye to Hangzhou and headed north to the capital. Thinking about how wrong he was to help Zhejiang

Ruan Yuan did not make any announcement at all. The family left Hangzhou quietly, and not many people knew about it.

However, the people of Hangzhou have always remembered Ruan Yuan's good governance, which has not faded after decades. Sixty-five years after Ruan Yuan left Hangzhou, in the 13th year of Tongzhi, at the request of the Zhejiang gentry, the governor Yang Changjun petitioned the imperial court for

Ruan Yuan established a special temple in Hangzhou, and the decree was implemented. Since then, the Ruan Gong Temple has stood on Wushan Mountain in Hangzhou for a hundred years, and its incense has lasted forever.

The boat sailed for several days and arrived at the Zhenjiang River. Soon the group would cross the Yangtze River. Ruan Yuan thought that Liu Wenru's daughter did not have a name yet, so he named her Ruan Zheng. He hoped that the child would be kind and upright in the future, but every time he thought about the child's ranking

Ninth, I will think of Su Jiumei who died because of me, but I will feel bad in my heart. If we still have to send troops to Ili this time, the road is long and the children will definitely suffer.

So on this day, Ruan Yuan also discussed with the three daughters that this time he would go north alone. Liu Wenru would raise Ruan Zheng in Yangzhou first, and Xie Xue and Tang Qingyun would also accompany Liu Wenru, so that most of the family could stay in their hometown.

Naturally, he would not be implicated. After listening to Ruan Yuan's proposal, the girls all agreed. But looking at Yang Ji aside, Ruan Yuan felt a little sour in his heart at this time, as if there were some things that he could not say.

"Yang Ji, you have always cared about Jiu Mei, right?" Ruan Yuan still said this to Yang Ji.

"Boyuan, you..." Yang Ji hesitated for a moment.

"I know that Jiu Mei has a bad background, so in this family, even though we have treated her equally for seven years, in her heart she still..." Ruan Yuan originally wanted to say, "She still thinks she is a bitch," but in this way, she

He couldn't say anything, so he swallowed it again. "But you are different. You came from the Miao Village. You have not been exposed to these bad customs of the Central Plains at all. With your status, maybe... you are also the same as Jiumei.

She is the person who I can talk to the most and can even say a few words to her. I...it's all my fault, and I can't forgive you for this matter."

"Bo Yuan, stop talking. I'm not young anymore. I've lived with you for twenty years. Don't I understand the truth of everything? You didn't have anything else to do except shoot Sun Wu.

Do you have a choice? This girl, Jiumei, is also the one who has heard a lot of nonsense about the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules, and how things have gone wrong, but you... I can see clearly some things in the past twenty years. How can you change it with your own strength?

A lot of stubbornness and prejudice?" Ruan Yuan did not expect that Yang Ji had such an opinion on personnel matters.

"You feel unhappy now, right?" Ruan Yuandao.

"It would be a lie to say that it's not uncomfortable at all, but now that you're back in the capital, I can accompany you. Why, you don't want me to accompany you, do you?" Yang Ji asked in return.

"That's not the case. It's just that my future is uncertain now that I'm in Beijing. If you really send me to the garrison, do you want you to accompany me to Yili and Qiqihar?" Ruan Yuan also said to Yang Ji: "You stay with me for two years.

It has been more than ten years, and I know your character. If you are really unhappy, go and have a look at various places first. The world is so big, but you always stay with me, but your horizons are narrowed, aren't you?"

"Bo Yuan, I..." Yang Ji also knew Ruan Yuan's intentions. Since Ruan Yuan was unwilling to put him in danger, he was embarrassed not to accept this kindness, so he said to Ruan Yuan: "Then... you should also take care of yourself.

, if there is an emergency, take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry. If you feel tired from walking, go back to Yangzhou and see Uncle Yang. He is thinking of you."

In this way, Ruan Yuan separated from everyone on this day and took a boat north to the capital alone.

When Ruan Yuan went north to Beijing, Kong Qingrong also took the Huiban he invited and went all the way north to Beijing to celebrate Jiaqing's birthday. Knowing that Jiaqing had gone to the summer resort, Kong Qingrong also took the Huiban and continued northward.

, and finally met Jiaqing at this time. Jiaqing was overjoyed when he heard that Duke Yan Sheng came to celebrate his birthday in person, and quickly held a banquet in honor of Kong Qingrong. The next day, he made his Hui Troupe debut on the stage in the Qingyin Pavilion of the Summer Resort.

Let's play out the play "Shiro Visits His Mother" here.

Jiaqing has always been keen on watching operas. Therefore, even though he strives to be frugal in order to celebrate his 50th birthday, he still retains his daily acting skills. What's more, the person who performed today was a famous actor from the Anhui troupe at that time, and Kong Qingrong also specially arranged the performances.

The selection was made, and the scene in which Yang Silang returned to the Song Dynasty and met his mother and old wife was the finale of the whole play. The actions and lyrics of several famous actors were also outstanding, and for a while, everyone was watching the play.

Everyone cheered, especially Mian Ning, the second son of Jiaqing. Seeing the deep love between Yang Silang and his son, thinking that his mother had been depressed all her life and abandoned him and his son so early, she burst into tears for a while.

Kong Qingrong could also see clearly that even Jiaqing, who was sitting in the middle, had a trace of tears under his eyes amidst the cheers.

Jiaqing was obviously very satisfied with the play. After the play was performed, Jiaqing also rewarded all the famous Hui Dan actors one by one. Then Jiaqing also called Kong Qingrong to go with him to other palaces and gardens in the Summer Resort.

Thinking that this was Kong Qingrong’s first visit to Beijing, Jiaqing also chatted with him about his daily life and asked about Yan Shenggong’s parents and wives. Kong Qingrong answered them one by one. Jiaqing was quite satisfied.

Then he continued to ask: "Mr. Yan Shenggong, seeing that you are very young, how old are you this year? Remember that more than ten years ago, you were already Mr. Yan Shenggong. How old were you then?"

"Back to the emperor, I am twenty-three years old this year. When I was eight years old, due to the early death of my uncle, I immediately joined the great clan and inherited the position of Duke Yan Shenggong." Kong Qingrong said.

"Yes, you are younger than Mianning?" Jiaqing looked at Kong Qingrong and sighed: "But you just said that your biological father and mother are still alive now, and it has been some time since your wife married into Qufu.

Well. In this way, your family should be in harmony. Well, to be honest with you, I am envious when I look at it."

"Your Majesty, the family of ministers has always been careful and peaceful." Kong Qingrong said humbly. In fact, the Kong family was not completely harmonious. Although Kong Qingrong had always respected his aunt Yu's family, he was also affected by the previous relationship between Kong and the two families.
