Xinshun 1730

Chapter 799 The Romance of the Times
The emperor looked highly at Liu Yu's "understanding", and was worried that Liu Yu would escape into Buddhism in the future.

However, in fact, Liu Yu, who was in the Forbidden Palace with a sense of cosmic sorrow, returned home and experienced the feeling of being newlywed after a little farewell, so much so that her back ached the next day and she felt a little sluggish when walking.

In the next few days, she still rested at home, and after seeing her parents, relatives and friends, she and Tian Zhenyi went to the Tsinghua Garden where the private meeting was held that day.

It seems like it was deliberately done for the emperor to see, riding in the same hot air balloon, and the story of a private meeting many years ago.

More than ten years ago, this Tsinghua Garden was still barren, and no one was willing to build a villa here, because of the chaotic power of the previous dynasty.

Today, it is the site of Dashun Academy of Sciences.

The style is quite different from other places.

When it comes to construction, many Westerners are involved.

For example, William Chambers, an employee of the Swedish East India Company and the designer of Somerset House in London and Kew Gardens, and the designer of the Royal Botanic Garden in London; Designer of Londel's systematic and comprehensive neoclassical architectural style.

Chambers and others are still young, but they are here for internship.Even at this time, Sir Chambers, who was able to design Somerset Palace and write "Oriental Gardening" and "On the Design of Architecture, Machinery and Utensils in Chinese Aesthetics" after returning from Guangdong in history, still has a lot of knowledge. not far off.

However, Dashun has a close relationship with France, and many of the disciples of the Royal Academy of Architecture in Paris and Polondel came here to contribute.Not by half-baked missionaries anymore.

Therefore, this makes the design style of Dashun Academy of Sciences quite a combination of Chinese and Western.

Not only is it far away from the theological style of the missionaries, but also a special neoclassical style that meets the East and the West has emerged.

In addition to the main teaching building, the vast square, the towering chronological column in the center of the square, the Pantheon-style colonnade in front of the main building, the gate in the style of the Porte Saint-Denis, the Chinese-style garden, the surrounding Chinese-style intriguing Chinese-style eaves houses, and Liu What Yu wants to see most is the thick, pungent soot coming out of the tall chimneys.

Looking at it from a high altitude, it really has a special flavor.Especially in Liu Yu's view, this style has a different kind of familiarity.

Although the word Romantic Tik has not yet been translated at this time, Tian Zhenyi recalled the scene of the private meeting back then, and she can feel the romantic feeling in her mood.

The promise made with a chuckle more than ten years ago has actually been fulfilled now.

But apart from romance, Tian Zhenyi smiled and told Liu Yu a story.

"In the old days, son Liu Qi asked Marquis Wu Chong'er about the method of extracting ladders from the upper stairs. He said: "Today you can't go up to the sky, and you can't go down to the earth. You can give me advice if you leave the mouth of the king and enter the ear of Qi."

"Third Brother said that day that he was full of pride, but I think it's still too early for the big event to come to fruition. This is to say something to Zhenyi that can't go up to the sky or go down to the earth?"

There are indeed no other people here, let alone any eyes and ears.Compared with the location of Liu Qi who took the ladder away that day, it is more secretive.

Liu Yu smiled and stretched out her hand, holding Tian Zhenyi in her arms.Tian Zhenyi also skillfully leaned over and snuggled up beside him.

"I want to read two lines of poetry."

"Young people don't know the feeling of sorrow, but they fall in love with the upper floors. They love the upper floors, and forcefully express their sorrows in order to write new words. Now they know all the sorrows, and they want to say it. They want to say it, but they say it's a cool autumn."

"Back then, I was young and full of passion. Now that I'm older, do I just feel that everything is difficult? Why do you have to say something that you can't go up to the sky, and you can't go down to the earth. How good it is to warm up the youthful age."

Tian Zhenyi giggled, and teased, "Third Brother read these two lines of the poem well, but his words are insincere. If you really want to talk about it, you won't watch this scenery with me today. If you really have this thought, Either learn from Zhang Liuhou, or learn from Uncle Chengyi. It's not like you have to stay in Songjiang Mansion for so long when you come back."

"Since you have such romantic thoughts, you should go back to the capital to reunite with your beautiful wife. If you want to say that Jiangnan women are soft and charming, but you have been tossing around like that a few days ago, it's not like being fascinated by women in Jiangnan..."

The two have been husband and wife for many years, so there is no such thing as shyness.

Now I know everything and talk about everything.After a few jokes, Liu Yu knew that no one was eavesdropping here, so he "conspired loudly" happily.

"Zhenyi, in the palace a few days ago, I told Your Majesty that I had an alliance with you again in the past. I dare not forget the old alliance. I only hope that His Majesty will allow me to go out for a swim in the future."

"But in fact, it's just using your and my affairs as a cover. You are right, today is really not to honor the promise of the day. It's just that I did have some youthful ambitions at the beginning. But now it seems that I am going to march to the east. I have run around the West, South Seas and West Oceans, no matter what happened, it may not be safer than riding in this hot air balloon."

"This pretense is not to imitate Liu Hou Yuandun, Wang Jian's self-defilement..."

After Tian Zhenyi heard it, she was not shocked at all, she was extremely indifferent, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether Liuhou is far away or Wang Jian is self-defiled. .Why do you need to learn?"

"It's meaningless to be a human if life and death depend on other people's thoughts. Your Majesty may kill you or me in the future, or not. Even if you don't kill me, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will either kill you and me, or not. .”

"Every time I think about this, I just think, you make my life, it's up to you and me, why should it be up to the sky?"

"It's like this, life or death depends entirely on others. I don't like it, let alone third brother."

It was quite cold in the sky, and the wind was noisy. After Tian Zhenyi said these outrageous words, because of the cold weather, she habitually leaned against Liu Yu's side, stretched out her hand and pulled Liu Yu's cloak, and wrapped it around her body.

Then, with a hint of a smile, he raised his head lightly, facing the sun, and took a deep breath of the air that had been polluted by the Academy of Sciences and had a pungent soot smell.

"It's up to you and me. The third brother is going to take advantage of the game in the future, and he suddenly ran away, right?"

She was in mid-air, but she was not afraid at all, and she couldn't help but speak out.There is no second day, the sun is dazzling, but she smiles at the sun.

This day was not the day she looked up at.It means something else.

Liu Yu chuckled and said, "I also think so. Either die or live, depending on other people's thoughts, it will be uncomfortable in the end."

"Before I was a foreign minister, I definitely couldn't make friends with the crown prince. I don't know the crown prince's gentle nature. Let's not mention him, even the emperor, it's hard to say."

"It's said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."

"Marquis Liu, Uncle Chengyi chose to stay away from this tiger. But I think, why is it natural for tigers to eat people?"

"I want to hide, so I prepared in advance, just said that I want to travel. Don't wait until the emperor feels that he is no longer able to run away. As long as a few years later, the matter is done, just go."

"The soil has been cultivated, the seeds have been sown, and the water has been watered. Before you close your eyes, whether you can see the harvest or not, it doesn't matter. Even if you don't reap it now, you will reap it in the future."

"It's just that the matter hasn't been accomplished after all. If the matter is accomplished in the future, it doesn't matter whether you just leave or travel across the ocean to avoid disaster."

"You have also heard me say a lot about the world's scenery, and then you will also go to Levi Asia in the Kunyu Wanguo map to see lions and ostriches; go to North Asia to see the towering trees. It is really not good. I am anonymous and live in the continents and oceans. In addition, look at the news that has traveled across the ocean and spread to the world thousands of miles away. It would be fun to tell you stories that you like to hear me tell non-stop."

Tian Zhenyi, who was snuggling in her arms, turned her face away, looked into Liu Yu's eyes, and her own eyes were also bent into crescent moons.

"Third brother now knows the emperor and wants to take me on a tour. It's really good to visit the famous mountains and rivers in the world first, and then go to see the scenery outside later."

"If you really want to leave, a letter and a big ship are enough. As long as I am by your side, what difference does it make between Levia and América?"

"I'm afraid it's true. You are still young now, but you will be old in the future. You know that there are beautiful scenery over there, and you can't move. But, since you accept the reason, I can't persuade you. Besides, why should I persuade you?"

"It is said that husbands sing and women follow, how do you know that you and I are conspiring together?"

The husband and wife have been together for a long time, and Liu Yu said too many "rebellious" things in private, Tian Zhenyi has long been used to it, and she is even prepared in her heart.

Hearing Liu Yu expressing his intention to prepare for his future run now, he was not nervous, but relaxed for a while.

What she was afraid of was not what Liu Yu would do.

Rather, he was afraid that in the future, when things were about to be accomplished and the world was in chaos, Liu Yu would go on martyrdom and continue to be the guide.

On weekdays, Liu Yu talked to her a lot about the "inevitability of history".

On this point, she and Liu Yu have a little disagreement.

She agreed with Liu Yu's statement.

But she felt that since Liu Yu was already busy creating the material foundation, after cultivating the soil, sowing the seeds, and watering the water, things would come to fruition in the future.Even without him, it would be 30 or 50 years later.

Now that the South Seas have fallen, the Eastern Seas have been flattened, and the Western Regions have been recovered, even after 30 or 50 years of tossing, I am not afraid of being almost picked peaches at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Once all the soil that needs to be cultivated and the water that needs to be watered have been poured in the future, then just leave.

Why bother to be the first person to hold up a sickle to cut ears?
You take the lead, or you can hurry up. History can be used as a mirror. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not emperors of Han; Han Shantong Liu Futong is not Ming Taizu either.Their ending is the same, they are all dead, so why bother?

Tian Zhenyi feels that since history is inevitable, if there is no Liu Bang, there may be Wang Bang and Zhao Bang; if there is no Li Zicheng, there will be Chen Zicheng and Sun Zicheng. Is it possible that Donglu can really win the world?Or did Ming continue to continue its original rule?
But Liu Yu's thoughts faintly reveal a meaning that he wants to take the lead in cutting the fringe with the sickle in the future.

Today I heard Liu Yu take the initiative to say that he might have to run away in the future, watching the theater across the ocean, and said something like "If you don't accept it today, you can accept it tomorrow".

Tian Zhenyi didn't feel surprised, nervous or uneasy at all, but relaxed all over her body.
