Chapter 476 Extra 10 (9)
You are good...
These three words of evaluation made Qiao Huan feel a little hot in his eyes for no reason.
It also made her vaguely recall all the things that Ren Hong had mentioned to her in his early years.
I still remember my mother once said that this elder's resume cannot be viewed in the context of a political game or a war, but when the perfection of the Qianxiang Calendar finally turned the page in history and the Gregorian calendar was gradually proposed, her name will exist in another more profound way.
But now, this woman who stepped out of the back house and into the foreground due to an accident will also be frozen in the seventeenth year of Yuan Zhao, no, the seventeenth year of the Gregorian calendar.
It was not until Qiao Huan was sent back by Qiao Yan along the same route and sat back on her bed in the dormitory that she slowly came to her senses.
To her, this farewell was still a bit vague as if it was separated by a lifetime, but it seemed that she already had some understanding hidden in her heart.
Three days later at dusk, she suddenly heard two bells ringing in succession in the academy.
And in the early morning of the next day, I heard it for the third time.
These older generations who were sent away one after another witnessed with their own eyes the irreversible collapse of the Han Dynasty, and also witnessed the rise of the Yong Dynasty in an incredible way among the support of the people.
Now, they will also rest in peace in this new land.
"Although they all died of old age, and I don't know any of them, I don't know why..." Zhang Changpu looked at the funeral procession in white on the hillside and sighed, "I feel particularly sad."
"Perhaps it's because this is the true end of an era." Qiao Huan replied.
At the end of the Guanghe period, Qiao Xuan was buried in a yellow house with a left flag and a chariot with five schools of the Northern Army, which carried his coffin to Bingzhou.
However, no matter how glorious the ceremony was, it was probably unable to conceal the corrupt atmosphere of the Han Dynasty's decline.
Today, white flags are all over the mountain, and students are paying close attention to them. Although the shape is not as good as in the past, she thinks that these elders must be comforted in their hearts when they pass away.
Across the crowd, Qiao Huan could clearly see his mother's figure.
Lu Zhi had been her mother's teacher, Huangfu Song had been very kind to her, and Ma Lun was like an elder to her, so no one was surprised that she was accompanying him today in white clothes to see his spirit off to the mountain.
The passing of the three elders was a cause for regret and lament for the younger generations, and it was probably an even greater blow to their mother. But at this moment, Qiao Huan could still feel an indelible imperial majesty from her upright back, and it also made people realize in the sadness of the fall of such a star that as long as she was still standing here, Dayong would still have a bright future.
So Qiao Huan added at this moment, "However, even though the curtain has fallen, Your Majesty will not be left alone."
It's just the passing of the torch from the previous generation to the next generation.
After the funeral was over, Qiao Huan, who was at the back of the crowd, heard the disciples of Lord Lu and Madam Ma in front of him talking about the new inscription that His Majesty had erected at the entrance of the Taihang Cemetery.
There were four words written on it:
[My path is not alone].
These four words carved by His Majesty himself, like the two words Chang'an on the new Chang'an Road back then, are deeply engraved in everyone's heart.
Yes, whether it is the "Tao" that brings peace to the world, or the "Tao" that women can also follow, Your Majesty will not continue to walk alone.
As a daughter, she should also carry the banner of this century-old foundation.
As a student of Leping Academy, she will not fall behind even a step.
In the first month of the eighteenth year of Yuan Zhao, Qiao Huan did not stay in the Luoyang Palace for long, but traveled south to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou with Bu Zhi, who was sent to Jiaozhou by his mother.
The post of Governor of Jiaozhou had changed twice since Lu Kang stepped down, and now it was handed over to Bu Zhi.
Qiao Huan was a little curious. Bu Zhi's sister married Sun Quan, and Sun Quan was now serving as the governor of Jiaozhou. Why didn't the queen mother worry about Bu Zhi and Sun Quan colluding with each other, but let both of them serve in such a remote place?
Qiao Yan's explanation for this was that she was actually happy to see Bu Zhi and Sun Quan joining forces, because compared to these two people joining forces, she was even more unwilling to see Shi Xie, who was still quite perceptive in Jiaozhou, growing old and some uneasy voices appearing in the Shi family.
What's more, the booming development of the maritime industry has made the rest of the states outside the oceans places where they can find new species.
The navy of Xu and Yang states can be used to attack Jiaozhou at any time, it just depends on whether she wants to do so.
Now, first there is the Mi family of Donghai, who relies on the business of planting rubber trees in Jiaozhou to carry out other commercial trades, step by step encroaching on the living space of local powerful people. Later, Shi Xie and Sun Quan formed an alliance and took over the supervision of the rest of Jiaozhou, in order to achieve her goal in a way that minimized losses.
More than a decade of stability in the Central Plains was enough for her to expand further south.
This might not be a plan that could be widely implemented in a short period of time. In fact, because of the barbaric habits of Jiaozhou in its early years, it needed to be educated. It would take Qiao Huan's generation to completely complete this assimilation task. But it was enough for Qiao Huan to use it as a winter vacation trip.
How should I put it, this still counts as going to the south for the winter, right?
But having just witnessed Ma Lun's inheritance, although Qiao Huan was still young, he did not dare to really regard this trip as a simple journey.
When she returned to Leping a month later than the start of the school term, her friends discovered that she seemed to have changed a lot.
"Didn't you say you were on sick leave?" Sun Luban's mouth twitched.
Compared to Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, Sun Luban obviously has more say, because no matter how she looks at it, she feels that Qiao Huan's tanned condition is exactly the same as that of her father who returned home for two days in January this year.
Qiao Huan replied very frankly: "I got a disease that would cause me to catch a cold if I didn't get any sun, so my mother took me to the south for treatment."
Sun Luban: "..."
If she could believe this, then she would be a three-year-old child!
Unfortunately, Qiao Huan made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it, so there was no need for her to ask more questions.
In the second half of the fourth grade of the eighteenth year of Yuan Zhao, their courses included a lot of discussions on local policies and the pros and cons of their implementation, so she didn't have much time to pay attention to Qiao Huan's movements during the holidays.
Qiao Huan had an almost innate sensitivity to this part of the content, and even knew the situation in Sili and Bingzhou by heart, so it seemed that her absence had no effect on her at all.
But Sun Luban can't do that, she has to invest more time.
You know, she has made up her mind to make others proud to follow her and use the things she uses, so how can she fail at this very beginning?
Yes, she did not choose the path of a military commander like her uncle and aunt, but a civil servant.
To be precise, he is a provincial governor who can take up arms and fight on horseback, and can also take a step back and rectify the people's livelihood.
I don’t know if it’s because he has been with Qiao Huan for too long, but Sun Luban is inexplicably convinced of Qiao Huan’s judgment.
Qiao Huan said that she did have the talent to judge government affairs, and she also had a competitive temperament. If she was only placed in the officialdom of Luoyang, she might offend people. If she was only a military commander -
Not to mention that she doesn't seem to have the talent to be among the top ones, there are not many vacancies nowadays.
It would be better to try for the post of governor guarding the place over there.
At first, Sun Luban thought that the pie was really big and round, but now the more she gets in touch with local policies, the more she feels that she seems to have the talent to understand all these things.
There is nothing wrong with the career plan proposed by Qiao Huan!
"If that's the case, what are you going to do?" Sun Luban asked.
Zhang Changpu planned to transfer to the Academy of Painting, and had finalized the transfer several months ago.
Cao Jie has stayed in the school for further studies and is developing into a teacher at Leping Academy.
Needless to say, Kong Yu was going to continue to follow Lu Ji in conducting research on Hainan aerospace aerospace.
Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others will most likely first participate in the new talent trial activities jointly organized by Leping Academy and border states, and then go to the central government to take the imperial examinations.
…
The direction of these people had been told to the others long ago, except Qiao Huan.
Previously, Sun Luban once thought that Qiao Huan was from the Mi clan of Donghai, but this possibility was denied by Qiao Huan himself.
After these few years of contact, perhaps other people in the academy still only thought that she was a top talent with balanced development in all aspects, like a benchmark. Even though Sun Luban was a little slow because of her preconceived ideas, she now realized that something was wrong.
But what she saw was Qiao Huan holding up a finger in front of him and replied, "You'll know later. Anyway, I'm going to work in the central government."
This time, Sun Luban did not laugh it off as she did in the past, but suddenly came up with an absurd guess.
When this thought came to her mind, she almost jumped out of shock.
But if this identity is matched with Qiao Huan, there doesn't seem to be much sense of incongruity.
There is only one problem...
Which royal family member is so interested in writing storybooks?
Don't think she doesn't know. Even though "Mu Huan" had given up the idea of continuing to develop a side business before, or perhaps he was a little stimulated by the death of the three elders, he was still eager to pick it up.
What their majesty left behind include "Exhortation to Punish Dong Zhuo" and "Declaration of Accession to the Throne". Looking further back, there is also "Letter of Apology to Emperor Ling of Han". Looking further back, there is also the Exhortation to Punish Yuan Shikai that was collected by your majesty from all sides, which can barely be considered to have been compiled by her. Then there is the finalization of the Gregorian calendar issued by the emperor's edict, as well as various words to encourage learning.
What if her successor leaves behind a bunch of these... these storybooks?
However, when Sun Luban thought of this, she couldn't help but want to slap herself.
Why does she care about this?
She hasn't even finished the past ten days' worth of homework, and it's still a long way from the time when she'll get a stable job in the court, so she shouldn't worry about it.
Yes, that's it.
What made Sun Luban feel gratified was that in the nineteenth year of Yuan Zhao's studies, she actually saw things that Qiao Huan did not know.
One is basic engineering, an elective course.
Normally, this is a course that only those who need to stay in Leping Academy for further studies would choose. It is not known whether Qiao Huan included it in his study list out of interest or for some other reason to facilitate literary creation.
It seems that no matter how talented she is in political commentary, she is... so bad at this course.
There were several times when Jiang Wei happened to pass by the classroom and heard the teacher inside roaring, and it was Mu Huan's name that was being called.
These friends tried to inquire indirectly, but they only learned from Qiao Huan that she was indeed having trouble with the results she wanted to produce, because the topic was too big and it was a bit of a challenge for the teacher psychologically.
But anyway, this is just an elective course. According to the fact that Leping Academy encourages students to make more attempts, even if she fails this course, she will not be criticized in public, and it will not affect her wise and brave image in the minds of the younger students who study in the academy.
It was not until the end of the semester that they saw what Qiao Huan was trying to create in the exhibition of works for this course.
It's not surprising that a professor who teaches engineering courses would want to go crazy.
Because the name of that work is - The Tomb That Will Never Be Opened (Unfinished Version).
"What do you think?" Sun Luban asked on behalf of the group of onlookers behind.
"I just feel that there are too many students coming and going in Leping Academy. If a guy with bad intentions happens to be recruited and wants to take some burial objects from the tombs of the great scholars buried in the mountains, the current guard force of the cemetery seems to be a little insufficient. It is better to just do a big project and let these tombs be completely protected by the agency."
"It's a pity that I overlooked one problem," Qiao Huan reflected with a heavy face, "I only need to understand the general situation of this kind of problem, and it's better to leave the rest to professionals."
In fact, she was also thinking that if she had talent in this area, she could also design it for her mother in advance, right?
As it turned out, an elective course is still an elective course, and she really doesn't have the talent for it.
But it doesn’t matter. She has money and will have power in the future, so just leave it to someone else.
After studying this semester, Qiao Huan has reason to believe that she will be a very qualified supervisor in the future!
Jiang Wei: “…”
For some reason, he had a very strange premonition that this guy would cause something big in the future because of this.
Now, at most the teacher of this course remembers her.
An unfinished version cannot be considered as a submitted assignment, not to mention that some of the ideas proposed by Qiao Huan in it are more like something that could only appear in mythological stories.
Since the existing mathematical knowledge could not verify it and Qiao Huan could not give a reasonable explanation, he could only give a final score for participating in the elective course.
And followed with a comment that the student has an outstanding imagination.
I often hear this teacher get furious, but judging from this comment... he seems to be a pretty nice guy.
"Maybe it's because the purpose of my design is more serious." Qiao Huan gave this explanation.
As for whether other people believe it or not, that is another question.
Another event that made Qiao Huan, a talented boy, feel a little uncomfortable was that the height had to be... According to modern calculations, only those with a height of more than 1.6 meters were allowed to participate.
Horseback archery.
Qiao Huan has been training in horse riding for two years.
The horse given to her by Mi from the East Sea was named Zhuiguang by her. After two years of running in, it had completely recognized her as its master.
Qiao Huan is also very talented in riding, and can bring out the maximum speed of this horse.
As for archery, Sun Ren had already trained Qiao Huan before she came to Leping Academy.
In terms of accuracy, although she cannot be compared with those students who specialize in this field and can hit the target accurately from a hundred paces away, she can still be considered an expert.
But strangely, when she was riding on a horse, her accuracy in drawing the bow and arrow dropped to an outrageous level.
Qiao Huan was troubled by this for a long time, until the end of the 19th year of Yuan Zhao, when the generals came to give lectures as usual, Wei Yan saw her performance and asked a question.
"Is it because you cannot put life and death aside that you dare not put all your heart and soul into the bow and arrow every time you draw the bow on horseback?"
Qiao Huan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Did I get it right?" Wei Yan pondered for a moment before saying, "Although I know that as a top talent in Leping Academy, you should cherish your life, but in a horseback archery match like this, you don't have to worry so much, unless... you don't trust your companions enough."
The companion Wei Yan was talking about was the horse that had been with Qiao Huan for two years.
Qiao Huan: “…”
What Wei Yan said was indeed correct.
She cherishes her life. She was terribly afraid of death.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken so many protective measures for herself when she first started riding a horse.
She also knew that if she wanted to fulfill her mother's words, "I am not alone," she had to take good care of her own life.
But as Wei Yan said, what she is facing now is not the danger to her life, but whether she can trust her partner!
And if she doesn't even dare to give this little bit of trust, and doesn't even dare to face this little bit of danger, how can she be qualified to be her mother's heir? Even more so, how can she face the challenge of ascending the throne and ruling the world!
At this moment, Qiao Huan's gaze became several times more determined than before.
Wei Yan didn't know that by saying this at this moment, he might have taken the initiative to seize an opportunity, compared to when he participated in His Majesty's selection of military generals. He only knew that the young man quickly ran away from him and rode his horse towards the horse farm.
This time, when she rode past the target, at the moment she drew her bow and drew her arrow, she was several times more relaxed than before.
This does not mean that when the arrow in her hand is shot out, the speed of the arrow will be slow.
On the contrary, it is exactly the beginning that a person who rides and shoots should have.
"What a talent," Wei Yan muttered as he looked at Qiao Huan from afar, "I wonder if she has chosen a prefecture where she will serve in the future."
When it comes to talented people, who would complain about having too many of them under their command?
Zhuge Ke, who came with Wei Yan, originally followed as an outstanding student returning to school. However, he just took a walk around the cafeteria when he heard Wei Yan's dangerous remarks.
The abnormality on his face did not escape Wei Yan's eyes. Wei Yan immediately asked, "What do you mean? If I remember correctly, this is indeed a sixth-grader, right? Although he is a little younger than his peers, it's not a big problem to make an exception."
Zhuge Ke thought about it, but still didn't reveal Qiao Huan's identity. He just said, "That's true, but your majesty will personally attend next year's graduation ceremony. If she has any plans, but they are affected by the general's preemptive intervention, it will not be a good thing."
Wei Yan: "...That's true."
That’s all for now.
We will see the situation after His Majesty’s arrangements are completed next year.
Qiao Huan didn't know that while she was riding her horse, the two people in the field had a conversation like this.
She only knew that her arms, and even her body, had become several times lighter than before because of the shooting of the arrow, and she seemed to be able to hear Zhui Guang's breathing at this moment, along with the sound of the wind in her ears...
Lifting her up to the sky.
——————
"Hey, what are you doing here? We've graduated."
Qiao Huan withdrew his momentarily dazed gaze and returned his eyes to what was in front of him.
Time flies so fast. It seems like just a moment, and more than half a year has passed since the end of the 19th year of Yuan Zhao.
This is the end of their sixth grade.
The person standing in front of her and speaking was Sun Luban.
Six years may not seem like a long time, but it has already brought about tremendous changes in her companions.
A growth change that will become the backbone of the new generation!
Who would have thought how they met six years ago?
Qiao Huan smiled and said, "Yes, I graduated."
The author has something to say:
Well, since I can’t mark the end of the story on the list, the last chapter will be at 0:00 on the 2nd (there is no chapter on the 1st)
Anyway, there is only one chapter left, so I'll write slowly to finish it off.
See you at 0 o'clock the day after tomorrow~
