Chapter 225 Attack Jiang He
Because the boat is traveling in the opposite direction, the return boat is slower than the outbound boat.
The Yellow River is very wide. The cruise ship is in the middle and cannot see the red flowers and willows clearly. We can only gaze at the rich green on both sides from a distance.
The green of the grass, the green of the trees, the green of the distant mountains.
It makes people feel relaxed and happy, broad-minded and heroic.
Zhao Zheng and Jiang He stood on the bow of the boat, letting the warm spring breeze turn up their clothes, and their thoughts flew by as the river flowed by.
Unable to help himself, he took Jiang He's hand.
"In half a month, it will be the Jiuwei Mountain Festival."
Jiang He said softly "Hmm".
They all know what the Jiuwei Mountain Festival means.
It means to go to the Yong Kingdom to worship the gods and pray for blessings from all over the world.
From now on, these gods will not only protect the land of Yong Kingdom, but also the mountains and rivers south of the Great Wall and north of the South China Sea.
It means to comfort the ancestors of Yong Kingdom.
For several generations, our ancestors opened up and expanded their territory, and finally the great cause became Chang'an, China.
It also means rebuilding the ancestral temple and erecting monuments to pay homage to those ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the unification process of the Yong Kingdom during the war and during the hundreds of years of the country.
"I have given an order," Zhao Zhengdao said, "that heroes from various countries since the Zhou Dynasty can erect monuments in the ancestral temple. This is not the ancestral temple of the Yong Kingdom, this is the ancestral temple of China."
Jiang He turned to look at Zhao Zheng, seeing the sunlight coating his forehead with a layer of golden light.
At this moment, mortals seemed to have the brightness to be close to gods.
Jiang He's eyes were slightly red, he leaned against the person next to him, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty is so talented and generous, and I cannot match it."
Holding her hand and clenching it tighter, Zhao Zheng simply turned around and hugged Jiang He.
"Ah He is too modest. Without Ah He accompanying him all the way, I would not be able to get here, or even live to this day. Now that we have been unified, from now on, we should appoint virtuous people to innovate, understand the privacy of the people, and let the people live their lives. The days when I had plenty of food and clothing. When I was alone in Luoyang, I asked Jiang Ben a lot about the state of Qi in the past two years, and I got a little bit of information."
It turns out they were talking about this at that time.
"It's a pity," Jiang He thought of Jiuyi Mountain, raised his head and smiled in his arms, "women cannot enter the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices, otherwise I would also like to see it."
This time is different from the wedding ceremony. As a female family member, Jiang He cannot show up.
"What's the difficulty in this?" Zhao Zheng smiled, "I want you to go, there are a hundred ways."
"Forget it." Jiang He knew what he was going to say, "Finally, Mr. Feng no longer causes trouble for me. Your Majesty, just let me pretend to be honest."
Zhao Zheng laughed loudly.
"I'm secretly going to take a look," Jiang He said, "I'm waiting for His Majesty to come back at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain."
At the foot of Jiuwei Mountain, next to the road leading to the top of the mountain, there is a large body of water about a dozen miles away.
No one has given this body of water a name, because it is close to Jiuwei Mountain, so the locals call it "Little Jiuhu".
When Li Tonggu renovated this water area, he used the excuse to facilitate the rest of the clan members who did not accompany him to the mountain.
This is half true.
It is indeed provided for clan members to rest, but only for the Queen Mother and the Queen.
Others have nothing to say if they are rejected.
The fortification work was very intense, but fortunately, under Li Tonggu's personal supervision, it was completed in time for the ceremony.
A winding wooden bridge connects the lakeshore and the waterside pavilion, seemingly singing softly.
The waterside pavilion is built on pillars and is a two-story pavilion on the water. It has a light structure, is open on all sides, and has a broad field of vision.
When Li Tonggu accepted the work, he paid special attention to the thickness of the columns.
"It looks a little empty."
He casually said to the minister in charge of supervising the construction: "Let's just have fun with the two-leaf boat."
So the exquisite boat was quickly brought over and floated on the lake.
The lake water is clear, but no one has noticed that under the water, heavy iron chains are tied to the eighteen pillars supporting the water pavilion.
Occasionally, when a fish swims between the ropes, they will find that these ropes are extremely long and they don’t know where they lead.
However, Yuyu doesn't understand human disputes, and slowly, he gets used to it.
The night is already deep.
Zongjun turned on the candle and looked carefully at the drawings on the coarse cloth in front of him.
This is a drawing of the renovation of Xiaojiu Lake, from the embankment to the curved bridges and waterside pavilions. It is very detailed.
Because he was wary of Li Tonggu, the drawings were obtained directly from the Minister of Construction Supervision.
It didn't change hands, and I checked with the craftsman to confirm that it was indeed the case.
Zongjun didn't expect that his eyesight was bad, his sense of smell was lost, and his sense of taste was only a little. He couldn't test for drugs, but he had a greater looked at the width of the bridge above and the size of the supporting columns, silently calculating in his mind.
Load bearing should be no problem.
But I always feel that there is something wrong somewhere.
For the sake of safety, it is better not to let the queen go to the waterside pavilion to rest.
The festival will take almost four hours, so prepare a few more spacious carriages so that the queen can rest and play.
So be it.
But man is not as good as God.
On the day of the festival, it rained.
When we left the palace in the early morning, it was still the time we reached the foot of Mount Jiuwei, the raindrops were already getting heavier.
The carriage roof made a continuous popping sound. Jiang He jumped out of the carriage, and a servant immediately came forward and held up a huge umbrella for her.
Zhao Zheng raised his eyes to look at the dark clouds surrounding him, and squinted at Lord Fengchang.
"Didn't you predict that today will be sunny?"
Master Fengchang said solemnly: "We have some predictions, and the rain has stopped."
It was only half an hour before Sishi, when Zhao Zheng heard this and looked at Jiang He.
"If the rain does not stop, the queen must find a place to take shelter. Do not stand under a tree or ride in a carriage in an open area."
Jiang He nodded and saluted: "The rain has washed away the world, and the world has become brand new. I wish your majesty all the best."
Zhao Zheng looked at her deeply.
It contains infinite affection and infinite pleasure.
The king's ceremonial guard marched forward in an orderly manner. Zhao Zheng, wearing a dress embroidered with twelve chapters, stepped towards the Jiuwei Mountain altar.
Just as the King of Yong State left, the carriage driven by the Queen Mother slowly came over and stopped in front of Jiang He.
Jiang He saluted and said hello, and the Queen Mother opened the curtain.
"Queen, please accompany the Ai family to the waterside pavilion to rest. There are fruits and melons there, which can also relieve boredom."
She had a pleasant face and seemed to be in a good mood.
Jiang He shook his head and said: "I'm going back to my mother, I'm not feeling well, so I'd better stay in the carriage."
Before going out today, Zongjun specifically told him not to go to the waterside pavilion.
Since you don’t know what it is, the best thing is to be careful about everything.
The Queen Mother was not angry. Instead, she smiled, with drooping lines forming on her heavily made-up face.
"Queen, haven't you noticed that the carriage is leaking?"
how come? The carriages of the royal family were all wrapped in leather cloth. Even if it rained heavily, let alone the drizzle, it rarely leaked.
"Your Highness," as soon as he finished speaking, a chamberlain reported back, "The carriage is indeed leaking."
Jiang He turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw that raindrops were indeed leaking from the roof.
But there should be other carriages here.
"I can just change to a carriage."
"Reporting to the queen, the official from CRRC has arrived and said that all carriages need to be inspected and inspected to avoid any damage."
Zhongche Fu Ling, that is the official in the palace who is responsible for riding sedans and chariots.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately urged her.
"Let's go," she said warmly, "The Ai family heard that A Qian was coming, so they asked someone to take A Qian and go to the waterside pavilion to wait."
Ah Qian?
Jiang He changed color slightly.
She raised her head and saw that the Queen Mother's expression was not only coaxing, but also threatening.
If A Qian goes, she, the mother-in-law, has to go.
Although Jiang He felt that Zongjun would not let A Qian be taken away even if he fought to the death.
But the Queen Mother did leave the palace later than she and Zhao Zheng. No matter how loyal Zongjun was, he could not disobey the Queen Mother's will.
Why on earth do you have to let her go?
Jiang He raised his eyes and looked forward.
"Come here," said the Queen Mother, "help the Queen come and sit in the Ai family's car."
