After the New Year, Yan Shiyue almost had a collection of poems on hand. Xu Wenqu read them all carefully. She went to find Prince Xian again and wanted him to contact neighboring countries. Could she also write a poem or something?
Go in.
Prince Xian put down what he was doing and accompanied her to the Imperial College.
There are indeed many envoys, princes and princesses sent by neighboring countries in the Imperial College. The most respected ones are the princess of Karahan, whose Chinese name is Jiang Yuan, and the prince of Nanzhao, Zheng Pingqing.
This was the first time for Yan Shiyue to see them. After both sides saluted, Yan Shiyue explained his intention.
Nanzhao has been ruled by the Han people since the previous dynasty. Zheng Pingqing's parents are both Han people, and they have adapted well to Dayan. He said: "We in Nanzhao are known as the four sceneries of the world! Wind, flowers, snow, and moon! This is why."
The wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, and the moon in Erhai Lake'!" "
Jiang Yuan's complexion is slightly dark, her eyes are very big, and her eye sockets are very deep. She has a particularly exotic beauty. She can't speak Chinese very well and said: "We have grass and flowers! Lying on the grass, the stars will shine
Fall into your eyes!"
Envoys from other countries also rushed to speak.
After all, they were international friends. Yan Shiyue had a good attitude and listened with a smile. She also called a few top students from the Imperial College to help catch the swords and try to put all the beautiful scenery they talked about into poems.
While talking, she felt that more than one person was staring at her. Yan Shiyue turned around and smiled, while Zheng Pingqing and others lowered their heads in a hurry, smiling very embarrassedly.
What she didn't know was that Zheng Pingqing and the envoys from other countries, almost all of them were talking about the same topic after they returned... Is it her?
Such a long time was enough for them to find out that all the novelties in Dayan, whether they were for enriching the country or for strengthening the army, were all produced by this person. They can be summed up in a very simple sentence: "Get Yan Shi."
Those who are happy will win the world.”
They all came here with a mission. They must first make friends with her, and if there is a chance... take her back to their home country!
But it must be done cleanly.
Otherwise, if a war breaks out, the gains will outweigh the losses.
But when they came, Yan Shiyue followed Emperor Ming Yan to the south of the Yangtze River, and then there was a change of throne. This person did not show up at the state banquet, and the post was ignored. They did not dare to be too attentive, for fear of arousing suspicion.
We went back and forth, until now, we were face to face for the first time.
But even if they met, it would not be easy to make friends in front of so many people. If she wanted to rob someone, there would be many guards around her, and the palace would have three floors... unless she left Chang'an.
Only after leaving Chang'an can we find an opportunity to make a move.
Yan Shiyue spent two days to compile some of their poems into it, named it "Songs of the World", then published and distributed it, and asked musicians to compose simple tunes for people to sing.
No one knows why she does this, but even a fool can see that it is not to make money.
Now the four kittens have also entered the study room. Several children in the family, including those from the Chu Ningyuan family, no matter how many, have all gone to study with them. In fact, it is the Huo family that has the most children in the study room.
Fortunately, the new emperor has been on the throne for at least ten or twenty years, and the atmosphere has been peaceful, so the atmosphere in the study room is also quite good.
It was at this time that Prince Duan came to the door.
He spread out a map and said to her, "Take a look."
As for Chidao mentioned last time, he chose several routes, such as Chang'an to Jiangnan, Chang'an to the northwest, and south to north, etc.
Prince Duan has always been very meticulous in his work, so meticulous that he is almost demanding. The map is huge, and the mountains and rivers are marked in great detail. Moreover, he has obviously consulted the craftsmen, and some soil and geological parameters are also marked on it.
Prince Duan said: "This is a long-term plan. With fire and medicine, it is not difficult to cross the mountains. If there are villages, they can also be moved. In places where there have been floods, the risks must be taken into consideration..."
Yan Shiyue looked at it carefully and said, "I have nothing more to say. I think you did a good job." She glanced at him and said, "Little Fourth Master, you are my idol again."
Prince Duan didn't understand and glanced at her: "Don't say weird things! Come with me to see the emperor."
Yan Shiyue agreed. The two went to see Emperor Chengsheng together. Emperor Chengsheng listened attentively and collected the map: "Let's go and see our father."
The group went to Wannian Garden.
After Emperor Chengsheng ascended the throne, at first when Emperor Mingyan was still in the palace, he often went there to ask for advice on court affairs. Later, Emperor Mingyan moved into the garden and he was not allowed to come again.
This is the first time I've been here.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I saw Emperor Ming Yan and Prince Ke sitting together and chatting. The atmosphere seemed to be quite good.
Yesterday, Emperor Ming Yan suddenly remembered Prince Ke, so he asked him to enter the garden and drew a portrait of him.
The painting was completed in one night. Emperor Ming Yan was holding rice cakes. The painting was really lifelike. Emperor Ming Yan praised it a few times. As a result, Prince Ke said modestly: "It's nothing. I practiced drawing insects. You are better at painting than insects."
Too much."
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
He was so angry that he wanted to get angry again.
Finally, I remembered what the Queen said before, and what Yan Shiyue said, that he was actually neither ruthless nor cold, but incapable of feeling emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and couldn't help but be soft-hearted. So I chatted with him patiently for a while.
In fact, the things he said were not meant to be deliberately irritating, they were just okay after we talked about them.
As a result, while we were chatting, Emperor Chengsheng and the others arrived.
Emperor Ming Yan said: "What's the matter?"
Emperor Chengsheng said: "I have something I want to discuss with Aye."
Prince Duan followed and bowed, his face unmoved and his heart very surprised.
He had many things on his hands and rarely came to the garden. When he suddenly saw him, Emperor Ming Yan's face glowed red and he felt several years younger!
But Emperor Chengsheng felt strange, thinking that Emperor Yan didn't scold Prince Ke? So he said: "Uncle Fourteen is here too?"
"Well," Prince Ke said to him very strangely: "You have become the emperor yourself, and why are you looking for your father? Are you not very smart?"
Emperor Chengsheng could only laugh.
Yan Shiyue said: "Uncle Fourteen is not allowed to speak! Please apologize to the emperor quickly."
Prince Ke listened to her words very much and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am..."
Yan Shiyue glared at him, Prince Ke covered his mouth, and Emperor Chengsheng could only say: "Forget it."
Several people entered the study room. Emperor Chengsheng explained the matter, and Prince Duan also explained the costs calculated by him in detail.
Emperor Ming Yan said after a long while: "Do you think this can be done?"
Emperor Chengsheng said: "My son thinks it's worth it."
He looked at him: "Aye, money spent in the treasury can still be earned, and this road...if it is built, it will be meaningful to the world."
Emperor Ming Yan sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't need to ask me about this matter. If you think it's worth it, then just do it. It's a good thing to be energetic. This is what I lack."
So the next day, Prince Duan submitted the document and received the approval of the Holy Emperor.
After deliberation, it was decided to build Wuguan Road first, inspect the road, and then build it from Guangdong Province to Chang'an.
When it came time to decide on the personnel, Prince Duan added Yan Shiyue.
Yan Shiyue felt that she really couldn't help, and she didn't understand technology! And she probably wouldn't be able to come back for a year, so she didn't want to go.
But Prince Duan said: "If there is a need to move the village, most people are unwilling to leave their homeland. Lady Fu's words should be more useful than ours."
No! Yan Shiyue felt that she really wasn't that attractive in the south, but the northwest was just fine.
But there's nothing we can do. Fortunately, Huo Qijing doesn't have to go to the Huoqi camp now. With him at home, there's nothing to worry about.
As a result, before leaving, Xiao Tangzhi came over and said, "Master, how about taking me with you?"
She asked: "Don't you want to study steam engines?"
"Yes, but this is more important," Xiao Tangzhi took a step forward and whispered, "I know where the real Tang Shiyue is." (To be continued)
