All the way north, on the way, they passed Tianqi, Huayi, Chiyi, and finally arrived at Hengshui!

There are countless students who joined along the way. They all wore blue and white Confucian shirts, and gradually replaced the main troops. Soon, the common people spontaneously retreated to the end of the team, and later, the imperial army also retreated to the rear of the team. There are only tens of thousands of students left, guarding the giant ship devoutly, moving forward all the way!

They originally thought that although the princess promised to reach Hengshui, the road would be open, but when it did arrive, they couldn't help admiring how many people had to dig at the same time to dig the channel that would have taken a month to complete in seven or eight days. To what extent? !

It's just because the construction ahead is still in full swing and the road has not been fully opened, so the water level in the river is very shallow, and the speed of the giant ship slowed down when it came here.

What made Chang Xi unbelievable was that when they passed the two banks of Hengshui, the construction team in front got the news that the speed was faster! When the common people who were doing repairs at the rear saw the huge ship, they knew that it was the princess and the prince who had come, and they retreated to the distance to make way for the students, and then respectfully bowed down!

"Welcome the prince, welcome the princess!"

"Welcome the prince! Welcome the princess!"

This scene frightened the students, because the Tianjian Canal, the local prefect almost mobilized the whole city to build this last section of the canal. There were so many people, the momentum of kneeling down and shouting was earth-shattering! It was a grand sight that they had never seen in their entire lives!

Many students' eyes were wet, and the rope in their hands became heavy. They felt that they were not just stretching the rope, but helping justice! It is precisely because of justice that so many people recognize it, even more so when the emperor parades!

It became more and more difficult for the boat to travel, because it was less than a day since the opening here, and the local prefects repaired it from both ends to the middle, and the progress of the repair on the Longteng River was still a step away. At this time, the water on their side, It was still drawn from the river next to it, so they are really stretching now!

How much strength can those students have? The speed of the boat was delayed immediately, and many ordinary people who followed all the way here were gearing up! Finally a useful place to get them! There are also agricultural workers from both sides of the strait, who have come to help the students stretch their fibers!

They have a lot of strength, and almost as soon as they got started, they greatly relieved the pressure on the students. The boat started up again!

Usually, many students are from wealthy families and read sage books, so they would look down on these mud legs, but now, the other party's dark skin is close, and the mud on their bodies has stained their blue and white school uniforms, and they don't A trace of disgust.

Especially when those ordinary people, whose hands are all purple from the ropes, are still concerned about the one or two inconspicuous blisters in the hands of their students, many students cry, especially some scholars from poor families, Can't help but think of my parents.

Born from the same root, drink from the same source, no one is high or low, only a benevolent heart has a pattern.

At this moment, they finally understood the meaning of these words left by the ancient sage, as well as the deep meanings that they would never understand before.

But just when they thought they were going to drag it all the way to the capital! Riding a horse alone, holding a flag high in his hand, with an excited look on his face! Come cheering!

He ran and shouted with a flushed face!

"Water is coming! Water is coming! The Grand Canal is connected! The Grand Canal is completed!!"

The Grand Canal is complete!

As he called for water to come, many people were excited and shouted!

"Water is coming! The Grand Canal is finished! The Grand Canal is finished!!"

Just in the cheers of the people, and everyone's expectation!

A turbid wave, carrying the momentum of thunder! Come surging!

It is like a galloping horse! Another example is that the yellow dragon bursts the embankment! It is so majestic and magnificent, sacred and cannot be changed!

water! This is a godsend! It is admired! It is irresistible! It is the best and the most ruthless!

But they succeeded! The construction of the Grand Canal is not only changing the water, but more like taming the water! At this moment, the insignificant person seems to be above nature! That unparalleled sense of accomplishment! Fascinating and addictive!

As the water dragon came rushing, many students on both sides of the strait avoided it, and their clothes were wet by the rushing water. They were not annoyed, but laughed out loud!

Everyone on the left and right sides of the river is rejoicing! The joyful laughter and cheers, I am afraid that even the capital can hear them!

Someone even pointed to the river and wrote impromptu poems, "The angry water dispels the cold air, like thunder and disperses the loud sound. The waves are high and the wind is rising, and the waves are fast and the rocks are hard to sink."

Then, in the exclamation of everyone! The giant ship was once again lifted by the current! Like a trapped beast, struggling in the surging waterway!

Everyone was aggressive, clutching the rope tightly, looking in the direction of the capital, continue! All the way north!

***

"Your Majesty! They... are back!"

Someone trembled and said this sentence, then quietly shrank aside, wishing to let himself disappear!

And he thought the emperor would be furious! But I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, the emperor was surprisingly quiet.

Two days ago, Gong Sheng received the news that Gong Che and Gong Yimo were returning to Beijing on the giant wheel, and countless people were digging day and night for the giant wheel to travel! Finally, this morning, the Longteng River in the capital was opened in one fell swoop! Rong Julun directly enters Beijing!

There are countless mathematicians pulling the fiber for the boat! Wherever he went, there were countless responders.

Such popularity, such appeal, not so much to make him afraid, but rather to shock him!

Gong Cheng couldn't help but recall that when he first heard the news, the person who reported back was still adding fuel to the air in a pretentious way, but he was completely stunned, only one sentence echoed in his head!

"His child...has really surpassed him!"

A complex emotion such as pride and fear overwhelmed him, as if he was old, useless, and would be replaced by others at any time. Now that he heard them come back with great fanfare, his first reaction was not to be angry but to want to laugh!

This is his child... This must be the little girl's idea!

But at this moment, the palace door opened, and a beauty in palace attire stepped forward, holding a bowl of soup in her hand, and she walked slowly to the emperor like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"Your Majesty...it's time to take some medicine."

She raised her white and bright wrists gracefully, but Gong Cheng opened her arms.

"His Majesty?"

"I don't want to eat."

The woman's beautiful eyes turned, and she took her hand away, and soon the palace servant took the medicine bowl and stepped back. She glanced at the emperor and smiled softly, "I heard that the prince has returned to Beijing, but your majesty is thinking about how to deal with the prince." sad?"

When she said this, she coughed a few times in a low voice, she was really weak.

A trace of pity flashed in Gong Cheng's eyes, "Long'er, you don't need to worry about this matter. If you are not in good health, don't worry about it."
