On March 9th of the thirteenth year of Qiyuan, Yang Song’s 60th birthday was celebrated. Several months before this, Xia Guoxia, inside and outside the palace was busy preparing.
The most caring of them is estimated to belong to the prince Yang Xian. At such an important time, people all over the world are looking at his “filial piety.”
According to Xia Guo’s law, officials must be appointed after the age of 60, which means that Yang Song may hand over the throne to him at any time. How can he not care about it at this time?
When it comes to birthdays, in fact, March 3, six days before Yang Song’s 60th birthday, is actually the 37th birthday of His Royal Highness Yang Xian.
But now Xia Guo is busy celebrating Yang Song’s 60th birthday, and he can’t take care of Yang Xian, who is still just the prince.
On March 3rd, although many people still came to congratulate him, they would leave after only a short stay. It would not be held like Yang Song.
Of course, this has something to do with Yang Xian who knows which is lighter and heavier, but it is at this time that Yang Xian can realize the huge gap brought about by that position.
In the evening, Yang Xian, who was busy and coped with the whole day, returned to the residence. As soon as he walked in, he saw a table of good dishes. Upon closer inspection, the dishes were not luxurious, but they were all his favorites.
Needless to think about it, Yang Xian also knows who gave Zhang Luo this table of dishes. At this moment, Yang Xian, who was originally tired, only felt moved…
Yang Xian, who is now 37 years old, can be said to be strong enough. When Xia Guo began to develop the country in the past few years, Yang Song handed over part of the government affairs to Yang Xian.
Especially in the last one or two years, Yang Song has gradually transferred more power to Yang Xian. No matter how you look at it, Yang Song is a precursor to the transfer of the emperor to Yang Xian.
The Manchu dynasty civil and military also knew about this phenomenon, and they were not surprised. After all, at the time of the dynasty meeting, many times the prince Yang Xian was already presided over.
Now only wait for Yang Song to announce the edict to abdicate, and then Yang Xian will hold the enthronement ceremony.
…
Until a few days before Yang Song’s 60th birthday, all officials from the top and bottom of Xia Guo had gathered in the city of Zhongjing, and only the commander of the exploratory fleet that went southward had not arrived.
After the exploratory fleet was replaced with a new type of ship, it would take at least one month before returning to the sea. Even if it was planned, the midway would be delayed for various reasons.
Therefore, the failure of the exploratory fleet this time was expected by everyone, but some people still expressed regret. Many officials blamed Wei Jing, the commander in their hearts, for not knowing how to look at the situation.
In fact, it’s not that Wei Jing didn’t know the meaning of Yang Song’s 60th birthday, or that he didn’t want to return to the voyage early or that he would not set sail this time, but Wei Jing also had his plans.
“Can you speed it up a little bit?” Wei Jing cherishly looked at the map placed on the table, then raised his head and asked anxiously at the captain of the ship.
The exploration fleet has a new battleship as the flagship of the fleet. In addition to the fleet commander Wei Jing, the flagship itself also has a captain.
The captain heard what seemed to be his own defender Jing’s inquiry, glanced at the data on the dashboard, and replied: “Back to the commander, it is already the fastest speed, and it can’t be any faster.”
Wei Jing looked at the other ships sailing outside Cambridge. Fortunately, the three cruisers could be faster, but the five transport supply ships and the flagship had now reached a maximum speed of twelve knots.
Knowing no matter how anxious he was, I didn’t use Wei Jing to turn back and continue to check the map on the table to see if there was anything wrong in order to make corrections.
The map in front of Wei Jing is very different from the chart hung behind him. Although this map is not very detailed, it is the most important harvest of his trip.
It was for this gain that Wei Jing risked disrespect to go to sea again before Yang Song’s 60th birthday.
After looking at the map on the table again for a while, Wei Jing saw that there was really no modification, and then he cherished the map and put it away.
Wei Jing collected the map on the table and turned to look at the chart on the wall behind him. Forget it, I didn’t expect that the fleet would still have a voyage of one or two days from the southernmost waters of Xia State, and it was from the east of Zhongjing City. Linhai City is even more distant, which gives him a feeling of living like years.
Since the day of returning to the voyage, Wei Jing has been counting the days with his fingers, but no matter what he counts, it is still somewhat difficult for the fleet to reach Linhai City before March 6, let alone that he has to arrive in Zhongjing City.
Wei Jing looked at the chart again, and made a ruthless heart, and ordered: “Order the fleet to leave the coastal waters and follow the ocean currents of the distant sea to go north.”
When the captain heard this order from Wei Jing, he was shocked and worried: “Commander, this is too risky. Although the ocean currents in the ocean can speed up the fleet’s speed, the storm in the ocean is big at this time. Isn’t it too dangerous? ”
Of course Wei Jing knew that this was an adventurous approach. Although the exploration fleet was originally an adventurous fleet, his commander could not have this adventurous idea, otherwise the original adventure of the exploration fleet might be gone forever. return.
But now Wei Jing knew he had to take risks. If he didn’t rush back to Zhongjing City before March 6th, then he would have no sense in leading the exploratory fleet to go to sea this time.
Regarding the captain’s concern, Wei Jing replied blankly: “Our exploratory fleet is no longer the previous exploratory fleet. You have also seen the new ships. The slight storm in the far sea is risky www. .com but no harm.”
In the last sentence of “Go and execute the order”, Wei Jing ended his explanation of the order, and then continued to count the days of returning.
In accordance with Wei Jing’s order, the exploratory fleet came to the turbulent sea, found the warm current northward, and took advantage of the momentum.
Finally, based on the new speed, Wei Jing calculated the date of arrival, and finally there was hope, but his hands have never left the fixed object—the waves in the distant sea are really a bit big!
…
In the early morning of March 9th, Zhongjing City started amidst the noise of the whole city. Xia Guoshang had been preparing for this day.
The parade of the common people, the congratulations of hundreds of officials, the sound of salutes that have not stopped all day long, Yang Song, the protagonist, can be regarded as enjoying congratulations from all over the world.
Even the Ice and Snow Kingdom from thousands of miles away has sent a team to congratulate them all the time. At this time, they are marching with the people in Zhongjing City.
Originally, the congratulatory team from the Kingdom of Ice and Snow wanted to dedicate the prepared program to Yang Song, but Yang Song asked it to dedicate it to the people of Xia. This was the scene, and the people of Xia were near. Feel the “exotic style” from the distance.
In the evening, the evening celebration began in the sky full of fireworks show, and the dinner party is today’s “protagonist”!
While Yang Song was hosting a banquet for civil and military officials and representatives of the common people, suddenly Yang Xian ran up with excitement and said, “Father, Father, General Wei Jing of the Navy’s Exploratory Fleet is back.”
“Wei Jing came back at this time?” Yang Song felt very happy when he heard it. He didn’t expect that Wei Jing, the absent general, would arrive at the last minute. Yang Song originally felt a little regretful about this.
So Yang Song ordered: “Then let Wei Jing sit in.”
