"You don't deserve to be called brother to me!" Gao Bin interrupted him and said, "Let me ask you, did the queen instigate the emperor to do this?"
Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but before this, the queen had trouble with Concubine Huixian and the late queen."
Gao Bin nodded, and then said word by word: "Fang Jian, from now on, the friendship between you and I will be severed. You will cross your Yangguan Road, and I will cross mine. We will have nothing to do with each other!" After saying this! In short, he walked away without wanting to look at Fang Jian again.
Fang Jian looked at Gao Bin's hurried away figure worriedly. He didn't care about brotherly love, otherwise he wouldn't have sat back and watched Gao's death. He just hoped that Gao Bin wouldn't make things worse out of anger. It was out of control, and he didn't want to die so unjustly.
Gao Bin was wandering around like a wandering spirit, thinking about Gao's affairs. Yongzhang did not lie to him. Hongli really poisoned Gao. After all, they had shared the same bed. He...how could he do this? Cruel and heartless?!
There is also Xianyue, she is not on good terms with Ruyu, and she is very likely to encourage Hongli to poison her; as Yongzhang said, if Ruyu is still alive, it is Ruyu and not her Nala Xia who will take over the Kunning Palace today. moon.
Is this the true face of the pair of emperors and empresses? Is this the true face behind the diligent and loving people and the virtues that spread throughout the world? How terrifying!
The sunset on the water is far more dazzling than on the land. The sunset glow dyes the entire river red. Every day, Xianyue will hold Yong Cang on the boat to watch the sunset. Sometimes she will point to the sunset where the sky and water meet. Tell young Yongxing what colors they are.
On this day, Xia Qing accompanied her to watch the sunset on the boat. When only a small part of the sunset was still exposed on the water, she said with a smile: "Won't you feel bored watching the same sunset every day?" "
Xianyue said with a smile: "How could it be possible? Every time I look at him, my Yongxu has grown up. Look at how happy he is smiling now."
Xia Qing pursed her lips and said, "Yes, yes, everything is fine now that I have a son."
Xianyue looked at the young son in her arms tenderly and said softly: "I have been looking forward to this child for more than twenty years. How can I not be happy and unhappy? If... Changle is still there, I should How good.”
Xia Qing suppressed the joke on her face and said: "Although we can't see Chang Le, I believe that Chang Le has always been with the queen in her own way. No matter what, you have suffered for so many years and you are finally here." The joy comes after all the hardships, and I am also happy for my empress."
Xianyue smiled and said: "I just hope that he will be safe and grow up healthily."
Xia Qing stroked Yongxing's delicate cheek and said softly: "Yes, the twelfth prince brought a heavy rain to the capital as soon as he was born, which is enough to prove that he is a very blessed person." After standing for a while, she He said: "The empress once said that after the southern tour, she would try to get rid of the Wei family and Zhuang Zheng. I wonder if the time has come?"
Xianyue looked at the sunset in the distance and said in a cold voice: "Before leaving, I have already given instructions to Zhou Quan. It should be about this period of time."
Xia Qing sighed softly: "With the death of the Wei family, the knot in Concubine Ying's heart can truly be opened, and all the previous grudges can be completely settled."
"I understand." Xianyue withdrew her gaze, fell on the sleeping baby in her arms, and murmured: "Soon... it will be over soon. It's a pity that the dead cannot be resurrected."
Xia Qing was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of someone on a boat not far away staring at them. Looking carefully, she saw an official with gray hair wearing official uniform, but she didn't recognize him, so she said doubtfully: "Mother, do you know her?"
That person?"
Xianyue looked in the direction of her finger and said, "That's Gao Bin. One of the important tasks of the emperor's southern tour is to inspect the river. Gao Bin is an expert in river management, and the emperor specially summoned him to inspect together."
"It turns out it's him." Xia Qing suddenly responded. After taking a closer look, she said, "I heard that he is only fifty years old, so why does his face look so old, and his hair doesn't have a trace of black color, but he looks like sixty-five years old?"
A seventy-year-old man.”
"It takes a lot of effort to manage the river, and he does everything himself. How can he be immortal." With that said, Xianyue called Jinping and said, "Go and invite Mr. Gao to come over."
"Yes." Jinping followed Gao Bin's words and came to Gao Bin's side. After a while, he took Gao Bin to the imperial ship. The latter walked closer, clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said: "My minister, Gao Bin, comes to see the empress, and to see the concubine Hui."
!”
"Master Gao is standing tall." After Gao Bin stood up straight, Xianyue said: "I heard that Master Gao has recently been managing the embankments along the Yellow River. I wonder if the situation is okay?"
"Back to the empress, the situation is not optimistic. Among all the waters, the Yellow River is the turbidest. Measured by buckets, within a bucket, sand ranks sixth, and even worse, sand ranks seventh. If the water is not fast and violent,
The sand will inevitably stop at the bottom of the river. Over time, the river bed will become higher and higher, and the embankments along the river will also be raised. In some places, we are even careful to build them higher than the houses. Once the embankments burst, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xia Qing frowned and said, "Master Gao is the most proficient in water control. Don't you even have a good idea?"
"I have thought of a way, which is called 'concentrating water to attack sand'. While the embankment is still stable, try to collect the river water and increase the flow speed, thereby scouring the river bed, which may take away the sediment and lower the river bed, but this
It’s just a temporary solution.”
Xia Qing said curiously: "This is just a temporary solution, so what is the root cause?"
"The root cause lies in the source of the Yellow River. The sediment was brought down from there. Over the years, the emperor has been trying to control the source of the Yellow River, but it still has no results?"
"It has achieved some results, but not much. Yichen deduced that it will take at least another ten years before the sediment can be truly restrained."
Xianyue nodded and said: "Over the years, floods have rarely occurred. It is all due to the hard work of Mr. Gao. It has really benefited many people."
"I don't dare to accept it." Gao Bin quickly glanced at Xianyue and said, "Your Majesty is really a person who benefits the people. Although I am not in the capital, I heard about your empress's good deeds at the Temple of Heaven. Even the heaven was moved by your Majesty.
Send down the rain to relieve the suffering of the people."
Xianyue smiled and said: "Master Gao, you have worked hard all the way. Tomorrow, you will patrol the river with the emperor, so go and rest early."
Gao Bin responded, but did not retreat. Xianyue asked doubtfully: "Master Gao, is there anything else?"
Gao Bin lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing. I just missed Imperial Concubine Huixian all of a sudden. She left so quickly. I didn't even see her for the last time. Every time I think about it, I feel deeply regretful."
"Emperor Concubine Huixian passed away at an early age. Every time I think about it, I feel very sad. It's just that the deceased has passed away, so Lord Gao should be more open-minded."
"I understand." After a pause, Gao Bin suddenly said: "I wonder if your Majesty will regret anything in this life?"
