The first thousand seven hundred and twenty-ninth chapters
As expected, they fit in well with Fang Qianqian’s style of conduct.
"That's fine. There are a few girls around your age in my house. Let them take you around Zhuocheng and try the delicacies in Zhuocheng."
Fang Qianqian's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and applauded. She swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and wished she could immediately spread her wings and fly to Zhuocheng. This really made Li Luo laugh and diluted some of his worries about being closer to home and timid.
Fang Qianqian kept asking Li Luo about what delicious food there was in Zhuo City. When Li Luo was called the Fourth Young Master of Zhuo City, he wandered around Zhuo City a lot, enjoying delicacies from mountains and seas, and centuries-old shops in the alleys.
I really know the signboards of several time-honored brands. There is no need to add any extra details. Just a brief description will make Fang Qianqian salivate and drool.
Just when Fang Qianqian was thinking about which house to go to first and which house to go to last, suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the cabin: "The young master's ship supervision order, all ships should give way!" After three times, the voice gradually faded away, and the ship carrying
The boat that people were crossing the river hurriedly turned around and headed back to the east bank of Suoshui. After the shouts were no longer heard, the boatman turned the bow and sailed towards the west bank of Suoshui.
Li Luo opened the curtain and walked to the stern of the ship. He looked around and saw three official ships sailing northward along the river. They were full of momentum. The flags on the masts were fluttering. They were the command flags of the Shaofu Division. Li Luo touched the tip of his nose.
I didn't pay much attention to it, but among the yamen officials in Fanzhuo City, there were only a few who kept a low profile and kept a low profile when they left the city. As long as they didn't beat gongs and drums, it would be fine. It was really unusual to show off to the municipal committee like this.
"Why did the Shaofu Si's boat come to ask for water?" Li Luo bowed to the boatman and asked in a friendly voice.
"Hey, it's been several months, going back and forth, very busy." The boatman shook his oar and sneered.
"How many months? What takes so long?" Li Luo asked in shock.
"Young Master is not from Zhuozhou?"
"I'm from Songhai, Fuzhou."
"No wonder!" The boatman suddenly realized, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "I want the young master to know that the imperial court is currently carrying out construction projects. I heard that a palace is going to be built on the bank of Kunjiang River in the north. Will it be called Chengyun Palace or Chengyun Palace?
Anyway, it’s pretty much the same. The official boats pass by the cable water every two days. A few days ago, they said they carried a few craftsmen, but I don’t know these days. I just looked at the depth of the draft, and it’s probably still a heavy load on the boat.
.”
"What kind of palace are you building?" Li Luo frowned.
"Who says otherwise? I heard someone said that the palace built in the north is very big. Half of it is in the water and half of it is on the shore. It looks like the palace of the immortal family. It is very beautiful. I will go and see it when I have free time.
Look, I’m addicted to it.”
"With such a big news, the cost to the court must be quite high."
"Who knows? The Emperor is happy. He can do whatever he wants. We ordinary people can just listen to it."
"What happy event warrants such a big move by the court?"
"Haha, you have asked the right person about this."
"Oh, please give me some advice, sir."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's a long story. I have a nephew who works as an errand in Zhuocheng. He returned to his hometown a few days ago and brought back a lot of things. I asked a few more questions. It turned out to be the palace.
There was a big reward, and the old man's nephew also got some rewards. It was said that Long Live the Lord was blessed with a precious son, and the whole world was celebrating."
"Oh, it is indeed a happy event. I wonder which noble person became the phoenix mother?"
"Hey, she is the current queen."
Li Luo raised his eyebrows slightly. It turned out to be Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun was indeed pregnant before leaving the capital. When he went to Feng Palace that day, Li Luo felt that Concubine Yun was too preoccupied and might have damaged her vitality. Regardless of Concubine Yun's grudge, she once
Although she warned Concubine Yun, she did not expect that after many years of separation, Concubine Yun actually gave birth to a son. In this way, her position as queen was secure.
"So that's the case. It's indeed worthy of a congratulatory gift. However, the war with foreign invaders has just stopped and the surrounding areas of Dagan are in ruins. At this time, there are large-scale construction projects. It may not be a good thing to spread the news."
"Hush, sir, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears." The boatman was startled and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Li Luo smiled and looked around. It was calm on the river, and the nearest boat was dozens of feet away. It would be a strange story if someone could hear this.
When the boatman saw Li Luo, he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that Li Luo was a young boy who didn't know where he came from. His heart was filled with compassion and he couldn't help but persuade him. He lowered his voice and said: "Master, this is asking for water. Say
That's all. If you go to Zhuocheng, you must not talk nonsense. The old man's nephew who was on duty told the old man that now the court has set up a yamen to inquire whether the officials and Dagan people have any problems.
People who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and those who disobey and conspire against the country have great power, so if you kill them first and then whatever happens, it means that they are extremely powerful, so you must be careful."
Li Luo was startled, slightly surprised. He had not returned to the court for a year, but such a yamen was established again. This was a bit beyond Li Luo's expectation, but it was reasonable when he thought about it.
Li Luo's words were all in his eyes, and it was normal to have fear and suspicion. But what surprised Li Luo was that the newly established Yamen actually had the power to kill first and report later. You must know that when Li Luo wanted to inspect, he also retained the Supervisory and Legal Department.
Checks and balances, are the people in the DPRK and China so impatient to this day?
When the boat arrived at the west bank, Li Luo and Fang Qianqian paid their dues. The boatman looked at Li Luo and hesitated to speak. Li Luo smiled, bowed sincerely, and said goodbye to the boatman. Fang Qianqian looked at Li Luo and said,
Qidao: "My lord, why are you so polite to an ordinary person?"
Li Luo laughed and said, "There's no reason, I'm just used to it."
"Habit?"
"Well, from birth to death, people always put on masks for themselves. Some people like to be domineering, some like to laugh and play, some like women, and some like money. They are all driven by desire.
Desires are not always bad things. The so-called good and evil arise from numbers. Some people like to shout around and feel superior to others. They will naturally feel happy when they see others flattering others. However, some people prefer to be more relaxed and casual than bossing around.
, In this way, you will treat people and things differently. In fact, regardless of good and evil, likes and dislikes, it is just nature. If you understand your nature, you will naturally know what you should be like."
Fang Qianqian smiled and praised: "Your Majesty is indeed a kind and righteous man!"
"Haha, I am not a benevolent person, but if Miss Fang sees my wife, she will know that there is indeed benevolence and righteousness in this world." After saying that, Li Luo patted his horse and galloped away. Zhuocheng was close in front of him, but there were more.
