At this time the ship's route changed slightly.
"This river is Ji Gen River." Luo Pei, who had traveled many times, pointed to the mouth of the river and said, "Twenty miles further east, you will enter the canal. The water is relatively stable, and you can dock anywhere."
"Speaking of which, this is still the legacy left by Wei Shizu in his later years."
"Wei Shizu is truly worthy of being the emperor of the ages. He ascended the throne at a young age and pacified the powerful ministers in just a few years. In the next ten years or so, he flattened the world, dug canals, held imperial examinations, subjugated barbarians, and attracted thousands of nations to come to court. I am deeply moved by his thoughts."
Su Ziji responded: "Especially to open this canal, to connect the north and south water channels to form a water network, it took twenty-five years to complete. In addition, due to the division of labor between counties and counties, not much construction was started every year, and there was no need to mobilize people, waste people and money. .”
"What you said is to the point. Officials must not mobilize troops and mobilize crowds." Luo Pei nodded, stared at Su Ziji, and said after a long time: "You have this understanding at your age, and you are worthy of being the number one scholar."
Su Ziji smiled, it was only after reading history and gaining historical lessons that he became wise. Luo Pei was interested and also talked about the pros and cons of politics.
Su Ziji sometimes talked about poems and had to deal with Luo Pei's topics. However, his previous education was not vegetarian. Even if he had not studied water control specifically, he could continue to talk about it based on the principles he had read in several articles. Speculation.
At this time, a town could be seen in the distance with smoke curling up from cooking stoves. There were drivers shouting and cracking whips on the post road along the river, and several farmers in the rice fields were returning home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Ziji stopped talking and said goodbye to Luo Pei.
Liu Zhan smiled, filled in the poem he just wrote on the painting, signed it, and gave it to Su Ziji, saying: "Master Luo is saying that now you are an official, you are young and vigorous, and you have to It’s better to nourish your Qi more.”
"This painting has a calming effect, please keep it."
Su Ziji smiled, bowed, and took it. When he saw that the boat was only three feet away, he jumped back to his boat.
Luo Pei looked at it in trance, and Liu Zhan also stood with his hands down.
"Master Liu!" After a long time, Luo Peicai sighed: "This man's talent is really enviable. When it comes to reading, I can be regarded as a reading seed."
"In addition, it was not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was easy to pass the exam. He was only admitted to Jinshi at the age of thirty-two."
"And Su Ziji is only seventeen years old."
"That's all. Even when it comes to political affairs, although it's obviously unfamiliar, it's still clear."
"If such a talent doesn't take the wrong path, I'm afraid he will be where I am now in ten years."
Liu Zhan thought about it and said: "I can't refute this, but things in the world are unpredictable, and the flow of energy is often unexpected. Su Ziji is too young. You are skilled and easy to understand. In ten years, you will climb to your level." Location is not necessarily a blessing.”
Luo Pei smiled: "Are you saying that any beauty in the forest will be destroyed by the wind? Let's not talk about this matter anymore. Do you still want to go to Panlong Lake with me this time? Do you have any suggestions for canonizing the Dragon Girl?"
Liu Zhan waited until now, just for this sentence, he pondered: "I still have some things to do, maybe we will be separated in the middle, but you are ordered to inspect the three provinces and canonize the Dragon Girl."
"I think the dragon girl is a ghost and god. The most important thing for canonization is a peaceful atmosphere, so that both parties can be auspicious."
"We should first inspect the three provinces and correct some shortcomings. It is more appropriate to go there with this merit."
Luo Pei nodded repeatedly when he heard this and sighed: "That's true. The people's heart is the heart of heaven. How can the so-called auspicious day be as good as the health of the people?"
He looked at the sky again and smiled: "It's getting late. We can't talk today, so I won't hold you back. Let's talk calmly tomorrow."
After saying that, Liu Zhan resigned.
Liu Zhan returned to the ship and entered the cabin. He saw a group of people having a meeting. King Qi's eunuch named Luo Ji glanced at him and asked Liu Zhan to sit down. He then continued to ask: "Everyone is here." Well, the King of Qi has hated Su Ziji for a long time, but is there any way to kill Su Ziji? Can we let him fall into the water halfway and kill him in the water?"
Liu Zhan was surprised. He had never heard of the enmity between King Qi and Su Ziji.
However, he was still thinking about it. He now recalled that they had just met and when he was painting, he suddenly had heart palpitations. He is still a little confused and doesn't understand why he suddenly had heart palpitations.
After hearing this, without saying anything, I heard Mr. Chu Gurongchu say: "That's inappropriate."
Chu Gurong sighed: "Official affairs, with the prince, are nothing, but this Su Ziji is not a weak scholar with no power. When Lin Yuqing escaped from the capital that day, he rushed to the river bank to prepare to board the ship. , Su Ziji chased him alone and had a fierce fight with Lin Yuqing."
"Although the investigation said that Lin Yuqing was killed by random arrows, it cannot be denied that Su Ziji also killed many people during the pursuit. I am afraid that his martial arts skills are not low. The prince also feels this."
After saying that, he asked Liu Zhan, who was silent on the side: "Does the real person feel it?"
Liu Zhan sat there and saw several people looking at him at the same time, and nodded: "Su Ziji does have martial arts, maybe it's not low."
This was not what the eunuch expected. He was not surprised to receive such an answer. Then he asked: "Is he a Taoist?"
This was the point of his question.
Liu Zhan thought about it for a moment. Although Su Ziji made him feel a little concerned, he did not notice any traces of Taoism on the other party.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head: "I didn't feel it."
As soon as these words came out, not only the eunuch, but also Chu Gurong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Gurong once sent someone to look at Su Ziji from a distance, but no traces of Taoism were found on his body. He was originally worried that this person was not high in cultivation and might have misjudged him. Now that Liu Zhan has said so, then It must be true.
This Su Ziji is just an ordinary person with strong martial arts skills!
As long as he is still an ordinary person and has higher martial arts skills, it is not so difficult to deal with him.
Chu Gurong asked again: "In this case, the real person must have seen Su Ziji, and he should have a way to kill him, right?"
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhan actually stood up and said to them calmly: "You follow the wishes of King Qi, and it is your business to kill Su Ziji."
"I only help you get rid of the Dragon Girl out of public interest. I will not participate in this matter."
With that said, he bowed briefly and turned around.
"What a great Master Liu!" The eunuch was immediately angered by this move. When he walked out, he slapped the table: "You don't know how to appreciate him!"
"Why are you angry with him?" Chu Gurong seemed to have expected it and closed his fan: "He is on the boat now. Now that he is on the boat, how can he relax?"
This is a double entendre.
The eunuch frowned: "But he won't help. With the people you and I can use now, it will be very difficult to kill a man with martial arts skills without anyone noticing. If we send someone to attack, there will be armored soldiers on the official ship. If you alert them, it will easily lead to trouble."
Chu Gurong smiled: "In fact, there is no need to worry about this matter. We can definitely start at Mingde Mansion, which is the only way to Shun'an Mansion under the river. There is a deserted road, so we can start there. , even if hundreds of people are sent to surround and kill, others will not be alarmed."
"The most important thing is that even if you escape, we will still be waiting for you in Shun'an Mansion."
