Vol 2 Chapter 1162: Finale (final)

Without anyone mentioning something, Brother Xuan realized something by himself, and had a vague guess in his heart.
He stopped going out and stayed with the emperor grandfather every day, reading newspapers for the emperor grandfather, and telling interesting things outside.
Liu Zhao took the opportunity to remind him, "If you meet talented and virtuous people, you can win over as soon as possible. You grow up a year, and you have to learn to form your own team."
"Grandfather Xie Huang mention it!"
Liu Zhao said again: "With your father, don't worry. I will tell him clearly."
"The emperor's grandfather doesn't need to ask the emperor to treat me extraordinarily for me. The grandson can get the attention of the emperor by his ability."
"Good boy, really ambitious. Don't worry, your father is a very principled person. If you are not capable, even if I come forward, your father will not deliberately reuse you."
Brother Xuan said confidently: "I will let the father and the courtiers look at his grandson with admiration."
Liu Zhao was very happy.
In private, he murmured with Gu Jiu, "Brother Xuan is such an ambitious child, we should help him more."
"He is so young and needs more experience. We intervened too early, it is not good for him. He has to let him go through the necessary process, hit the south wall a few times, suffer a little setback, and be in the big dyeing vat of Chaotang Only by touching and rolling can we really grow up."
"I'm afraid I can't wait for that time."
Gu Jiu was silent for a moment before saying, "I will look at him for you."
Liu Zhao solemnly said: "Be sure to take good care of Brother Xuan for me. I don't want him to suffer a little setback. But I also know that it is not a good thing for life to go too smoothly. Only if you suffer a little setback, you can temper your character. You have to stare at the boss, no Allow him to treat Brother Xuan harshly."
"You said this to a few children, and they should complain about your partiality. If you have a grandson, you don't have a son."
Liu Zhao was triumphant, "How can they compare to Brother Xuan."
Gu Jiu gave him a white look.
...
After the New Year, when the snow melts and the river is navigable, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao set off for Beijing.
In accordance with Liu Zhao's wish, the couple moved into the Chang'an Palace.
Impatient to be disturbed by others, Gu Jiu spared the queen and the emperors and grandchildren please peace.
Brother Xu officially entered the Shanhe Academy to study, and at the same time began to get in touch with some political affairs.
Occasionally, Liu Zhao missed Brother Xuan, and Gu Jiu arranged for someone to take Brother Xuan to Chang'an Palace for a meal.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu often went to Chang'an Palace to have a meal.
The cooks of Chang'an Palace have followed the Empress Dowager to travel north and south, and they have been advancing in craftsmanship.
Food can be made everywhere, and new tricks can be made.
It's more than a little bit stronger than the cooks in the Imperial Kitchen.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu fell in love with the food in Chang'an Palace, also to show his filial piety to his parents, so he often ran over under the pretext of Cengfan.
Several times, when Brother Xuan met his Lao Zi Qianming Emperor in Chang'an Palace, he would inevitably be taught a lesson.
Liu Zhao was very dissatisfied.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "You are the same as before. Every time you see the children, you always find excuses to teach them. You just refuse to speak well."
"Nonsense, I am a reasonable person."
Talk about the truth.
Gu Jiu repeatedly turned over him, turning out all the old things.
Liu Zhao was scolded, so he began to reflect.
"I was such a back then?"
"You are not doing well now. The boss came over yesterday, and you scolded him."
right!
Yesterday Liu Yu went to Chang'an Palace for a meal. Liu Zhao saw him upset and scolded him.
Liu Yu secretly rolled his eyes, he had long been used to it, and he was completely invulnerable.
Thinking of what he did, Liu Zhao smiled awkwardly.
Then he said: "The emperor is like me, as expected to be the child I taught to grow up."
Can really put gold on his face.
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes directly.
As the weather warmed up, the body of the Supreme Emperor Liu Zhao seemed to improve. Emperor Qianming Liu Yu was quite happy. He was rare in the early dynasty.
Gu Jiu knew that Liu Zhao's body was only the end of the battle, and there was not much time.
She silently explained the preparations for the young mansion, so as not to be in a hurry.
At the same time, he followed the movement of the Polytechnic Institute.
She hoped that Liu Zhao could take a look at the steam engine before leaving.
September of the seventh year of Qianming.
Gu Jiu took Liu Zhao into the mountain in a double-track carriage.
There is an extra rail in the mountain col near the racecourse.
Liu Zhao was curious, "You brought me here, what are you looking at?"
Gu Jiu smiled mysteriously, "You will know soon."
Sure enough!
A large iron lump stands at the end of the rails. Behind the iron lump is a coal-burning stove, and behind it are several carriages.
Liu Zhao was stunned, "Is this the steam engine you were talking about?"
"Yes! This is the steam engine, the first model. We will be the first people in this era to experience the steam engine."
"Such a big iron bump can really pull the carriage?"
"Pull by burning coal."
"Then I really want to experience it, there shouldn't be any danger, right."
"A track less than ten miles long is not dangerous in any way."
The attendant helped Liu Zhao on the carriage.
The carriage is very spacious and luxurious.
Through the car window, the outside scenery can be clearly seen.
A piercing roar!
Liu Zhao grabbed Gu Jiu's hand.
Gu Jiu held him backhand, "It's activated."
Go shopping and eating...
The carriage moved slowly, making a rhythmic noise.
Liu Zhao was so curious that he couldn't help holding out his head, "Is there really no horses pulling the carriage in front of you?"
"of course not."
"The smoke from the chimney is really burning coal?"
"How can this matter be false."
Liu Zhao is like a curious baby, hiding a hundred thousand whys in his heart.
Lu Wang Liuli accompanied his parents to answer one question after another.
The ten-mile-long railroad track soon came to an end.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu took brother Xuan and waited outside the carriage.
Brother Xu personally helped Liu Zhao out of the carriage.
Liu Zhao looked around, but did not find the horse.
"Unexpectedly, you really made a steam engine, it's amazing!"
"It cost countless manpower and material resources, and finally achieved results." At this moment, Gu Jiu had a lot of money to invest.
Fortunately, the investment of countless silver finally paid off.
Returning to the palace, Liu Zhao kept nagging with Liu Yu and brother Xuan, "The steam engine is a good thing! With the steam engine, with the railroad tracks, you can go to the north and the south. The transportation of materials and the transportation of people will greatly shorten the time. Things need to develop, development regardless of cost."
Liu Yu nodded in response.
Brother Xu said: "With the steam engine, not only can the development of rail transportation be developed, but also the development of sea transportation. Mr. Ren said that the steam engine can also be used on ships to burn coal to drive the ships forward. In this way, the ship is not afraid of the weather and wind. You can go to sea in any season."
"It's really a good thing. The Queen Mother spends millions of dollars in food every year, spent more than ten years of work, and has achieved today. It is amazing!"
It may be stimulated by the steam engine, Liu Zhao was so excited that he could not sleep well until midnight.
Woke up early the next morning and dragged Gu Jiu to delineate the railway line.
With the capital as the center, small red lines start from the capital and extend to the north of the sky.
Finally, he solemnly handed over the planned railway line to Emperor Qianming Liu Yu.
It seems that the last wish has been fulfilled.
One night in early October, Liu Zhao passed away in his sleep. When he left, there was still a smile on his mouth.
After he walked for less than a quarter of an hour, Gu Jiu woke up suddenly from his sleep, panicked!
Unknowingly, tears have wet the clothes.
This day, after all, came.
She stayed by Liu Zhao's side until Tianma was bright before declaring that she was the emperor.
In a blink of an eye, the palace cried loudly.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu announced with red eyes that he would leave the court for seven days.
Gu Jiu was in a daze for a few days before he recovered from the grief of Liu Zhao's death.
She didn't attend the funeral, she was afraid of seeing the scene.
Unexpectedly, there are things in this world that make her afraid.
She invited a painter to paint Liu Zhao's appearance according to her memory.
She went to the palace to send him one last trip.
Standing in front of the imperial tomb, she sighed.
Duanjun Wang Liu Yi came to her, "Brother Emperor is gone, the Queen Mother is sad!"
"We are all old!"
Gu Jiu left the imperial tomb, but Liu Yi stayed in front of the imperial tomb for a long time and refused to leave.
Since the imperial mausoleum returned to Beijing, Liu Yi could not afford to be ill, and the medicine stone was invalid.
Less than two months after Liu Zhao passed away, Liu Yi, the brother of a compatriot, followed him and died.
One winter, first the Supreme Emperor died, and then another county king died. This winter is not peaceful.
Gu Jiu, the queen mother, lived in Xiaozhu, and rarely went down the mountain.
She likes to go to Shanhe Academy to feel the youthful atmosphere.
Occasionally, the children were called to Xiaozhu for dinner.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu, when he is free, always go to Xiaozhu to greet him.
Lu Wang Liu Li also often went to Xiaozhu to eat and drink.
In the days without Liu Zhao, Gu Jiu's life was lively, but also lonely.
...
After the opening of the year, the imperial court officially set up a vassal state overseas.
Rongwang Liu Heng, transformed himself into a king of princes.
Princess Ruyang, also transformed, became the first female prince and king in history.
Since the two newly-appointed princes and kings entered Beijing last year, until this year, the grand event of opening the princes kingdom was finally completed.
This also set a precedent for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As long as the clan has the ability to go overseas to enclose land as kings, they will have the opportunity to be given the title of princes and kings.
Rong Wang Liu Heng, Ruyang Princess Liu Xiang, the two brothers and sisters went to Xiaozhu to resign.
They are about to leave Beijing to go overseas to run their own vassal state.
The next time I return to Beijing, I don't know what year and month.
Princess Ruyang lay down beside Gu Jiu and wept, but she couldn't give up.
Gu Jiu stroked her head, "Back when you clamored to go out to sea, this palace knew you couldn't keep you. The princess mansion built for you could not wait for his master after all."
Ruyang choked, "Daughter feels strangely uncomfortable in her heart. I can't tell whether I regret it or not."
Gu Jiu comforted her: "You have your own business, you have a vassal state, and you can justifiably set up a small court to manage a territory. Through dynasties, princes and grandchildren can't wait for the opportunity, you have it, you must cherish it. , Manage well!"
Ruyang nodded, "Will the empress go overseas?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I can't move in this palace. Your father is not there, and this palace has no interest in going out. If you are interested, come back to visit this palace in three to five years."
Ruyang nodded heavily, feeling uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu said again: "Take advantage of the opportunity of your brothers and sisters by your side, some things in this palace should also be arranged."
"Queen..."
Gu Jiu waved his hand.
Send people to call Qianming Emperor Liu Yu and Lu Wang Liu Li.
The family had a family dinner.
After the family banquet, Gu Jiu solemnly said: "The property under the name of the palace will not be split and will not be distributed to anyone."
The siblings looked at each other and waited quietly.
"This palace has established a royal foundation, similar to the model of the disabled veterans foundation. All descendants of this palace will receive a sum of money from the foundation every year. How to use this fund when you get it in your hands? Arrangement. The funds of the foundation come from industries under the name of the palace, and a certain percentage of profits will be injected into the foundation every year. Your four brothers and sisters will each own 5-10% of the foundation's shares. The specific rules and regulations are written in it, you can read it for yourself."
A thick copy of the rules and regulations of the Royal Family Foundation was sent to everyone.
Without waiting for the children to ask questions, Gu Jiu continued:
The foundation will unify the management of all industries under the name of the palace. There are several sub-projects under the Royal Foundation. Among them, the Education Foundation will continue to invest in major academies and invest in new schools. Set up colleges and discover talents. The Natural Science Foundation mainly invests in all the projects of medical schools and polytechnics. The specific operations are written on the rules.
Your four brothers and sisters have the most shares in the Royal Foundation, and together they will have the right to decide. The shares given to you cannot be split either, and can only be handed over to your children or descendants to inherit. Foreign relatives must not get involved with the shares in your hands. If you hand over the shares of the foundation to anyone other than your descendants, you will be disqualified from the foundation and your shares will be taken back. This rule will continue forever. In addition, respecting your father’s opinion, this palace gives an additional 5% of the shares to Brother Xu. Any comments? "
The four siblings shook their heads together, without comment.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was raised by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
It was just too natural for Huang Changsun to get an additional share of the foundation.
Gu Jiu said: "You have no opinion! Even if you have an opinion, this palace will ignore it. This palace will set up a team to manage the foundation and look for talents for the foundation. The foundation and the Shaofu will carry out more in-depth discussions. Cooperation. In addition, according to your father's wishes, the Shaofu will also establish a clan foundation. In the future, clan members will receive money and food needed for life from the clan foundation. The specific amount, operation method, and other arrangements are made."
"Mother..."
Gu Jiu raised his hand to stop, "Listen to this palace. Each of you can recommend three people to work in the foundation management team, and the audit department is responsible for auditing the accounts of the foundation. Even if the people of the foundation leave, they cannot work in the audit department. In the same way, people who have worked in the audit department cannot work in the foundation. This is an iron rule, and no one can change this rule.
There is also a rule to keep in mind that relatives within the three tribes must not work in the foundation and the audit department at the same time. Anyone who enters the foundation and audit department will be investigated for three generations and two generations below. So before you decide to recommend someone to work in the foundation, you must think clearly.
This palace knows that there are many loopholes to exploit, so this palace has also set up many rules and regulations to block these loopholes. In a hundred years, anyone who dares to change the rules set by this palace will definitely be removed from the foundation and will not get a penny from the foundation from now on. The Foundation manual in your hands will answer all your questions for you. Please read it carefully and keep the main points in mind. "
The four brothers and sisters all have an ominous premonition, always feeling that the mother and queen are confessing the funeral.
They were worried.
Gu Jiu smiled, "My palace is Xijing! From now on, except for Brother Xu, if you don't have the permission of the palace, don't go to Xiaozhu to disturb the palace to recuperate."
"The mother and queen live here, and there is not even a person to accompany her to speak and relieve her boredom. Is it too deserted? Or let the children go to Xiaozhu to do their homework after school. It is to add a little popularity to Xiaozhu."
"No need to!"
Gu Jiu decisively refused.
After explaining everything, Gu Jiu sent four children.
She lived in Xiaozhu alone, and was served by a palace man. When she was free, Xuan ran to Xiaozhu.
Gu Jiu reads a book, wears a pair of glasses, and can read the smallest words clearly.
The glass factory managed by Rong Xin finally worked out the glasses and solved the big problem of countless old masters and nerds, and won the favor of scholars.
Savior!
Huang Qubing brought the first volume of "The Biography of Celebrities" that was published for a long time.
When Gu Jiu opened "The Biography of Famous People", the first person had no suspense. It was the late Xingzong Jingming Emperor Liu Zhao.
Luhou Peiren, Anxi Wang Peimeng, Mr. Dou, Li Bingming, Chen Zhuangshi, Yang Ji, Gu Ling, Master Wuwang, Grandpa Qianfuqian...
Familiar names are on the paper.
They all have made great contributions to the development of territories, and they have all made great contributions to the great Zhou dynasty.
Historical books will never forget them, nor should the people forget them.
All of their credit is written in this book "The Biography of Famous People".
The wealthy father-in-law, who is always strong, is crying like a three-year-old.
After crying, he touched his tears and said that he was going to guard the imperial tomb.
Gu Jiu scolded him, "The palace is not dead yet, what imperial tomb are you guarding. You will say this when the palace is dead."
"The empress has a long life..."
"It's all bullshit! No one can live a hundred years old."
Qian Fu aggrieved, "Old slave, the old slave is too excited. The old slave did not expect that he would have a place in "Celebrity Biography"..."
Before finishing talking, Qian Fu cried again and cried, which is really unsightly.
Gu Jiu sent him, "You wait to be envied and hated."
"Even if the whole world points to the nose and scolds, saying that the old slave is not worthy of the "Celebrity Biography", the old slave is worth it in this life."
Qianfu's life is complete.
Gu Jiu felt that there was something missing in his life.
After much deliberation, she finally remembered that she had never done a needlework for Liu Zhao after marrying Liu Zhao over the years.
"The needlework in this palace is a bit unsightly, and I don't know if he will dislike it."
"Emperor Xian is too late to be happy, how can he dislike it."
For the first time, Gu Jiu took the initiative to take up the needle and thread and made a set of footwear for Liu Zhao.
Needlework is really not good.
After nearly a year of needlework, Gu Jiu felt that his life was complete and he had no regrets.
One day she called Emperor Qianming Liu Yu to her.
She solemnly confessed: "This is the needlework done by this palace for your father. Remember to put it in the underground palace. Although the needlework is not very good, your father dare not dislike it. When this palace is gone, remember to seal the underground palace. The palace and your father do not like to be disturbed.
Brother Xuan is very good. Your father should have told you that you can consider making Brother Xuan the prince. This is also the meaning of this palace, for your reference. In addition, for the children to find relatives, the wife's family background is important, and her character is also very important. The most important thing is that children have to be willing.
As in the past, the attitude of this palace and your father to your marriage has always been to respect your opinions and not to marry blindly. You have to set a rule for future generations, not to have maidservants, illegitimate children, prostitutes and children as crown princes. This will corrupt the royal atmosphere. One generation is not as good as one, and one is stupid. Inside the royal house, the battle for the conquest of grandparents will be restarted. "
"I remember the mother's order! I will set a rule, whoever dares to have maidservants, illegitimate children, or prostitutes as heirs, all offspring will be removed."
"It's so good! The interior of the clan should be the same! The clan has been ups and downs for decades, so many disputes and contradictions are mostly caused by family members who are not righteous. The atmosphere inside the clan has deteriorated accordingly. It has made a miasma, which is really hateful. Not everyone can enjoy the support of the clan fund."
Gu Jiu raised the issue of the education of the prince and grandson.
"After the children are enlightened, they should be sent to the academy to study and be with their peers. When they are older, they should go to the military to train and strengthen their physique. When you are an emperor, you must also focus on the combination of work and rest. With the Polytechnic Institute, we must support them..."
Gu Jiu said for a long time, but also a lot.
Emperor Qianming Liu Yu kept in mind one by one, but his heart sank a little.
He didn't dare to think deeply, but he had to think deeply.
"My palace bothers him when your father is around. He is gone, and my palace misses him again."
Gu Jiu laughed at himself.
In the autumn of the coming year, she suddenly decided to return to the palace and moved into the Chang'an Palace.
On the fifth day of October, Liu Zhao died.
Late at night of the same day, the empress dowager humiliated.
After five years, the Emperor Xian and the empress dowager died on the same day, almost at the same time. This shocked everyone.
On the 14th day of Emperor Qianming Liu Yu's reign, he mourned and fell ill.
The empress dowager was buried in the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum, accompanied by Xingzong Jingming Emperor Liu Zhao.
In accordance with the Queen Mother’s decree, Emperor Qianming Liu Yu personally supervised and sealed the underground palace.
From then on, the husband and wife lived together and left one legend after another.
