„Lou Baiyue should also contact with me.” Gu Chensha is unconsciously accidental, disassembles the letter, above on four characters „canal wharf”. “楼拜月也该联系我了。”古尘沙不觉意外,拆开信,上面就四个字“运河码头”。 The inscription is Lou Word, has drawn crescent moon. 落款是楼字,画了浅浅的弯月。 Without a doubt, this is Lou Baiyue. 毫无疑问,这就是楼拜月。 Makes Gu Chensha to see in the canal wharf. 约古尘沙在运河码头见。 „Walks, leaves the palace, goes to the canal wharf.” Gu Chensha gives Little Yi Zi the letter: „With reducing fever, this type of letter gets up to scenery is the evidence, do not leave behind any handle to the person.” “走吧,出宫,前往运河码头。”古尘沙把信递给小义子:“拿去烧了,这种信对景儿起来就是证据,不要给人留下任何把柄。” „Yes.” “是。” The Eternal Dynasty liveliest place, is Capital City. 大永王朝最繁华之地,莫过于京城。 But the Capital City liveliest place, is the canal wharf. 而京城最繁华之地,莫过于运河码头。 Skyseal Great Emperor merit first is „chisels the canal to pass four directions”, reigns for 14 years, launches this big project, the short ten years, complete this matter. 天符大帝功绩第一项就是“凿运河以通四方”,在位14年,启动这项大工程,短短十年,就完成这件事情。 Once in the ancient times had a king, used the innumerable manpower and resources, wants to clear the Nord-sud Canal, enough 30 years, making people have no means to make a living, the world all instead, finally the perishing country to be killed. 曾经古代有位帝王,动用无数人力物力,想开通南北运河,足足30年,弄得民不聊生,天下皆反,最后亡国被杀。 But Skyseal Great Emperor is different, ascends the throne opens the canal, instead has drawn the financial capacity of the people, enabling the famine victim to have the food to eat, but can also obtain the wages, is insufficient to rebel, but in the process of opening cutting canal, such as meets the mountain impediment, often less than several days, that mountain vanishes without a trace. 但天符大帝却不同,一登基就开运河,反而是拉动了民力,使得饥民有饭吃,还能得到工钱,不至于作乱,而在开凿运河的过程中,如遇到大山阻隔,往往没过几天,那大山就消失得无影无踪。 River course that difficult to operate, an evening was cut by the great strength, delimits Lu Chengjiang. 难开的河道,一晚上就被巨力划开,划陆成江。 The folk innumerable common people call the miracle, several years later, know that the Skyseal Great Emperor destiny turns over , the ghosts and gods in secret ample capacity, listening to the Great Emperor to dispatch. 民间无数百姓称之为神迹,几年下来,都知道天符大帝天命所归,鬼神都暗中运力,听大帝调遣。 Along with opening cutting of canal, the Skyseal Great Emperor throne is getting more and more stable, finally the where the popular will inclines, nobody can shake. 随着运河的开凿,天符大帝的皇位越来越稳固,最后民心所向,无人能撼动。 Original Skyseal Great Emperor is the illegitimate child of wandering about destitute folk, passed through has slaughtered frigidly ascends the throne, after all the status was not steady, the Imperial Court undercurrent surged, but this canal one, the penetration four directions, the miracle appeared, immediately on the will of the people iron. 本来天符大帝是流落民间的私生子,经过了惨烈杀戮登基,毕竟地位不稳,朝中暗流涌动,但这运河一来,贯通四方,神迹显现,立刻就人心似铁。 Moreover the square canal clears, eliminates the innumerable flood and drought disasters, common people government subsidy to farmers in drought or raining incidents, the square commodity can ship Capital City continuously, making the businessman prosperous, is the live people are innumerable. 而且四方运河开通,消除无数水旱灾祸,万民旱涝保收,四方的物资可以源源不断运送到京城,使得商贾繁荣,更是活民无数。 Gu Chensha stands in the wharf, looks ships that comes and goes, is filled with emotion. 古尘沙站在码头上,看着来来往往的船只,感慨万千。 It can be said that all previous Emperor, but also does not have to compare favorably with now. 可以说,历代皇帝,还没有哪个能比得上当今。 Transports the river width to amount to several thousand zhang (3.33 m), looked at the past, the smoke wave was vast, the water depth had the hundred zhang (333m), regardless of the drinking water deep ship can pass. This at is not that Little Jiang creek, is not the manpower can complete. 运河宽达数千丈,一眼望过去,烟波浩渺,水深更有百丈,无论吃水多深的船都可以通过。这根本不是那种小江小河,也不是人力所能完成。 Above the canal, everywhere is the ships, has the black awning boat, five tooth big ships, in addition, have the drinking water extremely deep anger whale big ship, is the Imperial Court naval forces, is powerful. 在运河之上,到处都是船只,有乌篷小船,更有五牙大舰,除此之外,更有吃水极深的怒鲸大舰,乃是朝廷水师,气势如虹。 Naturally, what is most noticeable is the Imperial Court most newly developed iron armor flywheel, that ship is not big, with the iron armor package, below is the wheel, by the firepower steam actuates, to revolve, quick such as to the arrow of string, the day good thousand li(500 km) is a cinch. 当然,最引人注目的是朝廷最新研制出来的铁甲飞轮,那船不大,用铁甲包裹,下面为轮,以火力蒸汽驱动,旋转起来,快如离弦之箭,日行千里不在话下。 This is Imperial Court is used to transmit the ships of government gazette and memorial to the emperor, can transmit each province along the canal. 这是朝廷用来传送邸报和奏折的船只,沿着运河可以传递到各个省份。 After having the canal, Imperial Court strengthened regarding the controlling force of place. 有了运河之后,朝廷对于地方的控制力加强了很多。 The innumerable novel cargos the ship Capital City from land, unloads cargo in the wharf, but in the wharf in good order, has the methodicalness and order extremely. 无数新奇的货物从全国各地运送到京城,在码头上卸货,而码头上却井井有条,极有章法和秩序。 The past wharf was dirty , noisy and disorder, year to year was dominated by the reactionary gang. 以往的码头脏乱差,常年被黑帮把持。 The Sky Seal ten years, Imperial Court promulgation law, bans the folk gang, the gang head numbers of people of large quantities of doing all kinds of evil fall to the ground, at once, exciting, the common people commended that now Emperor is the eternal emperor. 天符十年,朝廷颁布法令,取缔民间帮会,大批作恶多端的帮会首脑人头落地,一时之间,大快人心,老百姓纷纷称赞当今皇上乃万古一帝。 „Newspaper, the newspaper, today's newspaper, Imperial Court sends the announcement again, strictly forbids the folk gold and silver transaction, the cargo to settle accounts with banknote(s), if defies, under confiscates family's property the prison.” Many newspaper boy brandish in the hand the newspaper to shout. “报纸,报纸,今天的报纸,朝廷再发公告,严厉禁止民间金银交易,货物一律用纸币结算,如有违抗,抄家下大狱。”许多报童挥舞手中报纸喊着。 „This world indeed governs well.” “这个天下的确治理得好。” In the Gu Chensha heart mused, although does not have the big sentiment to Emperor, but to his [say / way] of governing actually really admires. 古尘沙心中暗想,虽然对皇上没多大感情,但对他的治国之道却甚是佩服。 Imperial Family does not have the flesh and blood kinship, each imperial prince birth hugged to mother, had the troop wet nurse, palace maid, Wet nurse, the court eunuch attendance, grew up slightly, oneself lived, studies to practice martial art, among the brothers suspected to guard mutually, cannot open heart absolutely. 皇家没有骨肉亲情,每个皇子一出生就抱离了母亲,有大群奶妈,宫女,嬷嬷,太监照顾,稍微长大,就自己居住,读书习武,兄弟之间相互猜忌提防,绝对不能交心。 The proper family relationships of small family families, the brothers are harmonious, Imperial Family will never have. 小户人家的父慈子孝,兄弟和睦,皇家是永远不会有的。 Imperial Family by „respects as a brother filial piety” to govern the world, but Imperial Family does not have „to respect as a brother filial piety”, this must say that is a satire. 皇家以“悌孝”治天下,但偏偏皇家却没有“悌孝”,这不能不说是个讽刺。 But this does not have the means that the heaviness of throne, state Divine Artifact in the hand, grasps the world feudal official livelihood of the people to kill the power, for this kinship must to put down. 但这也没办法,皇位之重,社稷神器在手,掌握天下臣民生杀大权,为了这个亲情都得要放下。 „Has the country not to have the family|home.” In the Gu Chensha heart sighed. “有国就没有家。”古尘沙心中微叹。 „Master, in that letter only said that in the canal wharf, when does not have, we here silly?” Little Yi Zi asked. “爷,那信上只说在运河码头,什么时间都没有,难道我们在这里傻乎乎的等？”小义子问。 „You underestimated Lou Family, perhaps I just left the palace, was observed closely the whereabouts, others naturally can see me.” Gu Chensha actually looks thoroughly. “你太小看楼家了,恐怕我刚出宫,就被盯住行踪,人家自然会来见我。”古尘沙却看得透彻。 How long really not to have stood, ship Chengfeng cleaves the waves to come, anchors side the wharf, comes up a man, front arrives pays respects: „19th Lord, please board the boat with me, my Family Lord person steamship in the river, prepared the banquet.” 果然还没站多久,一条船乘风破浪而来,在码头侧面停靠,上来个男子,走到面前就请安:“十九爷,请跟我上小船,我家主人大船在江中,准备好了宴席呢。” „Guides.” Gu Chensha apparent this is the Lou Family servant, steps on the seesaw to embark, Little Yi Zi from following. “带路吧。”古尘沙便知这是楼家的仆人,踩上翘板上了船,小义子自跟随在后。 That boat flies suddenly whirlwind, such as the arrow goes, in an instant then arrives at the middle. 那小船突然飞飚,如箭而去,转眼便到江心。 This servant holds the ship to be steady, transports the oar such as to fly, actually does not arouse a wee bit water splash, what uses is the dark vigor. High of time, the non- commonplace a generation of institute can hope to attain, only feared still in taking „Tiger Wolf Pill” above Little Yi Zi. 这奴仆操船平稳,运桨如飞,却不激起丁点儿水花,用的是暗劲。功夫之高,非等闲之辈所能企及,只怕还在服用了“虎狼丹”的小义子之上。 The Lou Family one young servant has such strength, no wonder may dominate the royal government, stands erect not but actually. 楼家一个小小奴仆就有如此实力,难怪可把持朝政,屹立不倒。 Presents a large-scale large ship in the middle. 在江心出现一艘大型楼船。 This large ship pitch-black, unexpectedly has wrapped Wu Tie, firm durable, has the ability of aquatic combat. 这楼船乌黑,居然是包裹了乌铁,坚固耐用,更有水上作战的能力。 Boards the steamship from the boat, inside has the meteorology, the carved railing and jade inlay, the picture traces a design in gold red, the fragrance, all around has mounted with the big glass, can appreciate the beautiful scene, cool breeze Xu to come, in the river goes boating, it may be said that is rare enjoyment. 从小船登上大船,里面却就别有气象,雕栏玉砌,画红描金,香气袭人,四周都是用大玻璃镶嵌了,可以欣赏美景,清风徐来,江上泛舟,可谓是难得之享受。 The steamship altogether has 4th Layer, the first level is the master lives, 2nd Layer is the maid, 3rd Layer is a kitchen, under is the sailor of setting sail lives again. 大船共有四层,第一层是主人居住,二层是婢女,三层则是厨房,再下面就是开船的水手所居住。 The power of this ship is also flywheel actuates, revolves by the strength of machinery, walks in the water such as flies. 此船的动力也是飞轮所驱动,以机械之力来运转,在水中行走如飞。 The so-called flywheel, is the institution of heavenly palace institute manufacture, so long as the combustion kerosene, uses the strength of hot steam inflation to actuate. Is the unprecedented transformation. 所谓飞轮,乃是天宫院制造的机关,只要燃烧火油,利用热汽膨胀之力驱动。乃是前所未有之变革。 The large ship such as the black tiger lies in the river, may accommodate several hundred people to live, the storage grain can support all person fortnight life to need, simply is a small mansion. 楼船如黑虎卧在江上,可容纳数百人居住,储存粮食能够支持所有人十天半月生活所需,简直就是个小小府邸。 On this ship the person, is all powerful and brave, is agile including the females skill, the motion is rigorous, resembles the army. 这船上之人,个个孔武有力,连女子都身手敏捷,行动严谨,似军队。 „Lou Family meritorious military service illustrious, manages the household in the military law in mansion, so the meteorology, is the taste of progressing day by day.” In the Gu Chensha heart estimates, he studies assiduously various books, recently straightened out intelligently, can slightly see in a big way. “楼家战功赫赫,在府邸中都以军法治家,如此气象,是蒸蒸日上之味。”古尘沙心中揣摩,他苦读各类书籍,最近开窍聪明,就可以小见大。 „You draw back.” “你们都退下吧。” The sound conveys, the servants draw back to continue, the man who that belt embarks said to Little Yi Zi: „eunuch, please go downstairs with me, downstairs have prepared the food and drink.” 声音传来,奴仆们都退下去,那个带上船的男子对小义子道:“公公,请跟我下楼,楼下准备了酒饭。” Little Yi Zi sees Gu Chensha to nod, with to continue. 小义子见古尘沙点头,也就跟下去。 Upper level this large ship remaining they, a man and a woman. 在这楼船上层就剩下两人,一男一女。 Female naturally is Lou Baiyue. 女的自然是楼拜月。 She carries to Gu Chensha, wears the pale blue cloak, seems to be the sea deep makings. 她背对古尘沙,身穿淡蓝色披风,似有大海深沉之气质。 „Sky Seal this toward, opens the east , south , west and north canal, the river of penetration thing, the Emperor life is the Yangtze River, but the river of north and south, then names as Milky Way.” “天符此朝,开东西南北运河,贯通东西之江,皇上命为长江,而南北之河,则是命名为天河。” The Lou Baiyue sound is calm: „For this reason, Emperor still on the date of canal penetration, wrote the shocking word.” 楼拜月的声音沉稳:“为此,皇上还在运河贯通之日,写出惊世之词。” „Billowing Yangtze River east passing water, the spray washes completely the hero, the right and wrong success or failure turns the head spatially, the mountain, several degrees setting sun is as before red. On the white hair Yuqiao river islet, is used to look at the beautiful scenery on a beautiful day, a pot muddy liquor happy chance meeting, ancient and modern many matters, pay to chat.” “滚滚长江东逝水,浪花淘尽英雄,是非成败转头空,青山依旧在,几度夕阳红。白发渔樵江渚上,惯看秋月春风,一壶浊酒喜相逢,古今多少事,都付谈笑中。” She read the word slowly, the desolate historical aura headed on. 她缓慢念词,苍凉之历史气息扑面而来。 This word, is Skyseal Great Emperor does, spreads over the world, making scholar bow the head. 这首词,是天符大帝所做,传遍天下,令文人俯首。 Gu Chensha also extremely loves this word boundless sincere, frequently enjoys in secret. 古尘沙也极爱这首词的苍茫厚重,常常暗中赏玩。 But at present he does not know that the Lou Baiyue anything meaning, calmly is only listening, when she recited, laughing foolishly: „I study am not always attentive, cannot discuss that poetry, what matter do you ask me to have today?” 但眼下他不知楼拜月什么意思,只静静听着,等她吟完,憨笑着:“我读书向来不用心,谈不来诗词,你今天找我有什么事么？” „Gu Chensha.” Lou Baiyue has turned around, stature several months ago as if tall Tiao, the makings also had the change that was reborn, Cultivation Base already the accomplishment: „Although your everywhere play the fool, actually cannot hide the truth from the person with high aspirations, you are not silly, genuine fool exactly less than now.” “古尘沙。”楼拜月转过身来,身材比几个月前似乎高挑了些,气质也发生脱胎换骨的变化,修为似已大成:“尽管你处处装疯卖傻,却也瞒不过有心人,你并不傻,真正的傻子活不到现在。” „Are you what kind of?” Gu Chensha immediately appears surprised uncertain, is quite scared, body also rickets, this is the technique of lying low his these many calendars practice, how can be stirred up easily appears the primary form? “你想怎么样？”古尘沙立刻显得惊疑不定,颇为恐慌,身体也佝偻了些,这是他这么多年历练出来的韬晦之术,怎么能轻易被激就显出原形？ „Thinks that you know, I present the Emperor decree, becomes friends with you. Under your opinion how?” The Lou Baiyue speech is optional, as if this marital important matter and have nothing to do, was saying other people. “想必你已知道,我奉皇上旨意,和你结交。你意下如何？”楼拜月说话随意,似乎这婚姻大事和自己无关,在说旁人。 „.....” Gu Chensha does not beckon with the hand again and again the backlash, is more terrified, resembles to meet the viper, although early obtains the news, but does not know that Lou Baiyue sells any medicine, if supposes the set disadvantageously by no means not to be impossible to oneself. “不不不.....”古尘沙连连摆手后退,更加惶恐,似遇蛇蝎,虽早早得到消息,但也不知楼拜月卖什么药,万一设套对自己不利也并非不可能。 Before the several years, this female makes other imperial prince beat itself, unfriendly kind. 早在数年前,此女就让别的皇子殴打自己,绝非善类。 „Although is the Emperor decree, but today is actually the personal meeting, does not use cautious, moreover you are an imperial prince, I am an official, if this stance passed on, fears is impeached my not to have the ritual of official by the censor.” Lou Baiyue beckons with the hand, expression on keeping aloof some flavors. “虽是皇上旨意,但今天却是私人会面,不用拘谨,况且你是皇子,我是臣子,这种姿态如果传了出去,恐被御史弹劾我个无人臣之礼。”楼拜月摆摆手,语气就有些高高在上的味道。 According to the custom, Gu Chensha is the imperial prince, Lou Baiyue the stance lese majeste. 按照规矩,古尘沙是皇子,楼拜月的这姿态大不敬。 But the Lou Baiyue temper is arrogant, even if to other imperial princes is also so, once some people complained she does not have the ritual of official, instead by the Skyseal Great Emperor appreciation was said „the this female arrogant nobilities, have the ancient demeanor.” 但楼拜月性子高傲,哪怕是对其它皇子也是如此,曾经有人告状说她无人臣之礼,反被天符大帝赞赏说“此女傲王侯,有古人风度。” Thus it can be seen, she is many are loved by Emperor. 由此可见,她是多被皇帝所宠爱。 „What does Imperial Father have to tell?” Gu Chensha was asking, although there is a unique skill in the body, actually also displayed the dreadful appearance that was careful. “父皇有什么吩咐？”古尘沙问着,虽有绝技在身,却还表现出小心谨慎的猥琐模样。 „Your this appearance is really loathful.” Lou Baiyue face darken: „My Lou Baiyue, although looks down upon the world man, but in the Saint the outstanding ability and grand vision, town Evil Demon, extinguishes the monstrous talent now, Jinan commoners, the secure nation, enabled the world female to have the date of raising one's head, swept the millenniums to be completely stale, how you were not successful again, should the collection inherit the Emperor blood relationship.” “你这副样子真是让人讨厌。”楼拜月脸色阴沉下来:“我楼拜月虽然看不起天下男子,但当今圣上雄才大略,镇邪魔,灭妖孽,济苍生,安邦国,更使天下女子有出头之日,扫尽千年陈腐,你再怎么不得志,也应该集继承了皇上血统。” Gu Chensha is only stupid: „What were you saying?” 古尘沙只是痴痴呆呆:“你在说什么？” „I today and you meet, mainly asked your sentence.” The Lou Baiyue look overlooks from: „After you do have the great ambition, becomes outstanding?” “我今天和你相见,主要问你句。”楼拜月眼神从上俯视下来:“你到底有没有雄心以后出人头地？” „Becoming outstanding?” Gu Chensha retrocedes once more two steps: „I now expensive am the imperial prince, the descendant of the imperial family, Dragon Zifeng the grandson, what wants to become outstanding?” “出人头地？”古尘沙再次后退两步:“我现在贵为皇子,金枝玉叶,龙子凤孙,要什么出人头地？” „Your this imperial prince crosses the common people wealthy man might as well, even if the countryside rich families, the servant dozens, go out the carriages and horses, the family of great wealth, is waited on hand and foot, the clothes puts out a hand. But your in constant anxiety, play the fool, conceal one's strength and bide one's time, even if lives is also being vexed, doesn't think all changes?” Lou Baiyue both eyes closely observe closely, must see through anything. “你这个皇子过得还不如平民富翁,哪怕是乡下殷实人家,都奴仆数十,出门车马,金玉满堂,饭来张口,衣来伸手。而你惶惶不可终日,装疯卖傻,韬光养晦,哪怕是活着也是窝囊,难道就不想所有改变？”楼拜月双眼紧紧盯住,要看穿什么。 Gu Chensha shakes the head again and again: „Now is good, I do not want to change.” 古尘沙连连摇头:“现在就挺好,我不想改变。”
