Chapter 576: Down to the South of the River
Among them, Fengwei is the least, a team of 100 people, the Beiya Forbidden Army is 500 people, and the garrison of Chang'an directly allocated 1,000 people, a full 1,600 people's guard, this scale is already extremely large.
This is just the escort army on the surface, all over the country will welcome the queen, and local troops will be sent to escort them out of the realm, and the secret heir prison and Chengtian Temple will send people to guard Wu Meiniang's side.
Don't talk about these, as long as Chen Fang follows Wu Meiniang to the south of the Yangtze River, Ding Yu will inevitably follow, there are many masters and troops around this Niangniang, I am afraid that there will be spies of the Northern Han and Western Qin along the way, and there are different northern state roads in the south of the Yangtze River, so we must also guard against one or two.
Everything was ready, but the day before departure, there was an incident, Taiping had to go to Jiangnan with Wu Meiniang.
This little highness is screwed up, no one can do anything about her, Wu Meiniang probably also wants Taiping to walk in Jiangnan, after all, Taiping is eight years old and has never been far away, and the farthest is to go to Lishan Palace. So Wu Meiniang agreed to take her, and with Taiping, she naturally brought her eldest daughter, Princess Anding.
That is to say, at this time, His Majesty's four daughters, except for Yiyang, who is pregnant, can't go, and the other three princesses will accompany Wu Meiniang to Jiangnan.
The two princesses want to go, and Brother Li Xian also came to beg his mother to take them, which is good, for Wu Meiniang, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and it doesn't seem appropriate to take her daughter and not her son.
In the end, Taiping wanted to go to Jiangnan, but Wu Meiniang's line brought the rest of her children in addition to not taking the prince, first, to let the children see the customs of Jiangnan, and secondly, to broaden the horizons of the princes and princesses.
On the last night before departure, Chen Fang came to Yiyang, looking at the eldest princess whose belly was already bulging, Chen Fang squatted down and put his face on Yiyang's stomach, lying there and listening carefully for a while, and then Chen Fang stood up and carefully wrapped his hand around the eldest princess's waist, in fact, it was almost impossible to ring it at this time.
Chen Fang looked at Yiyang and stroked her long hair.
"This time I accompanied my mother to Jiangnan, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, Your Highness must take care of yourself, I have already told Miss Qingxue, and those maids in the workshop have also commanded, they will take good care of Your Highness."
"Our child is born, will you be there?"
Yiyang asked softly, Chen Fang didn't know how to answer, he was pregnant in October, Yiyang should give birth in April, Chen Fang estimated that he would not be able to come back.
At this time, Xia Jiangnan is not as good as the future generations, it will take a few months to come and go, and Niangniang is definitely not going to travel this time, but also her own business.
And Chen Fang went, he was also busy building the Jiangnan Branch, and the time spent on the road and doing things would always be recorded in months, and it was basically impossible to see his child born.
Chen Fang's expression was gloomy, Yiyang looked at him, stroked his cheek with his hand, and held Chen Fang's cheek in his arms, clinging to it.
These days he did not let the colt touch her, and now he had to travel far away, and he always wanted him to remember what it was like in his arms.
"Pony, give our children a name!"
"Your Highness must have a name in mind, right? and it was given by His Highness. ”
"Good! Then I'll give them a nickname first, if it's a girl, I'll call her Sisi, if it's a boy, I'll call him Niannian. ”
Chen Fang looked at Yiyang, kissed the corner of her lips gently, and after a long time, they separated, looked at her, and couldn't help but continue to kiss for a while.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness."
"My child and I are waiting for you to come back!"
Listening to Yiyang's words, Chen Fang couldn't help it, and Yiyang grinded his ears and temples for a while, lips and teeth contacted, Yiyang took the initiative tonight, let Chen Fang rub the oil for a while, touched his wife, and Chen Fang wrote down the feeling in his hand deeply.
In the early morning, the light of the morning sun shone on the earth, and a large number of cavalry had gathered at the gate of the Tang Workshop, and this time the army guarding Wu Meiniang all rode war horses. It's easy to keep up with the mother's convoy.
Whether it is the Beiya Forbidden Army or the Chang'an Garrison, at this time, all of them are wearing Tang Dynasty Mingguang armor, with Tang knives around their waists, and assassination spears on the side of war horses.
And Feng Wei here, except for the saber, all carry hard crossbows, and on the side of the war horse are two bags of crossbow arrows.
The team has gathered, what Chen Fang didn't expect was that this time Wu Meiniang deliberately brought Zheng Jieyu with her, and when she saw Zheng Jieyu, Chen Fang really didn't expect Wu Meiniang to take her.
It doesn't seem to pass by Xingyang on the road!
Zheng Jieyu also came on horseback, and it was her white-hoofed crow. Zheng Jieyu came on horseback, and when she was close to Niangniang's car, she turned over and got off the horse, and after meeting Niangniang, Wu Meiniang asked her to share a car with her.
The team set off, and Chen Fang saw Yiyang standing at the gate of the Tang Workshop and beckoned to her, and Yiyang smiled at him.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Have a safe journey!"
The team left the Tang Workshop and passed through the Imperial City, where a carriage blended into the rumbling convoy at the Imperial City Gate.
The cavalry in charge of the guard got out of the way and let the wagon go with him.
Chen Fang looked at the carriage, it turned out to be the carriage of the envoy of Western Qin, and it was self-evident who was in the carriage.
Unexpectedly, this time when I went to the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Jieyu and the two princesses of Western Qin would go together.
Chen Fang was riding in the same carriage with the three princesses at this time, and it was a little inappropriate for Chen Fang to ride with the three princesses, but it was suitable for Gao An. However, with the little girl Taiping sticking to him, Chen Fang couldn't take the princess's carriage if he didn't want to.
"The third princess, the carriage of the second princess has also entered the team."
"Hmmm! Hearing that the queen mother said that the second queen wanted to see the scenery of the Tang Jiangnan and appreciate the folk customs of the south of the Yangtze River, the queen mother promised her and let her go together. ”
"Oh! This trip was lively. ”
Chen Fang sighed, Zheng Jieyu and the second princess walked together, but Chen Fang didn't expect it before.
The convoy left Chang'an City, where Chang'an and Luoyang were the two most important cities in the north during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Generally known as the eastern capital and the western capital, Emperor Wen of Sui built the capital of Daxing City, which is the western capital of Chang'an at this time, and during the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, he built the eastern capital Luoyang, moved the capital to Luoyang, and built the Grand Canal, which also allowed boats to start from Luoyang and go directly to the south of the Yangtze River.
After that, Li Tang Dynasty Sui moved the capital to Chang'an.
In the original history, Wu Zhou Dynasty Tang Dynasty, Wu Meiniang moved the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to Luoyang, and was ordered to be the capital of the gods.
Luoyang and Chang'an, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, were so frequently replaced as national capitals, eastern capitals and western capitals, changed so frequently, I am afraid that there is only this period.
The Sui and Tang dynasties both built their capitals in Chang'an and Luoyang, and Yanran became a wonderful scenery in history.
At this time, Luoyang and Chang'an, as the two most important capitals in the north, are also one of the world's top metropolises at this time.
The convoy left Chang'an and drove on the official road connecting the two places.
