Chapter 174: Winter Northern Tour
"Take out that jacket and bring it to the official family......" In the Kunming Palace, Dafu supported his waist and raised his hand to support the palace people to clean up, his face was full of interest.
Liu Chengyou sat aside, holding a steaming teacup in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and looking at his queen: "Don't bother so much, all the envoys have prepared the things for the royal family to go north." This northern tour is not a pleasure to travel, everything is simple, and there is no need for redundant things......"
"It's already winter, the world is cold and cold, and the muscles are penetrated, I don't care about the rest, but this jacket, be sure to bring it." Da Fu took a white velvet jacket from the maid and handed it to Liu Chengyou in person.
Liu Chengyou took it and touched it, the touch was very comfortable, and the workmanship of the materials was quite elegant. The beautiful maid on the side, who had followed the big fu for a long time, couldn't help but interject: "This is what the lady spent nearly half a year sewing for the official family, every stitch and thread, every thread, all of which embody the lady's heart......"
This maid, with a little resentment in her tone, looked at Liu Chengyou's gaze, and there was even more faint resentment. She was married from the Fu family, and of course she had some kind of expectation at first, but it had been almost two years, and Liu Chengyou didn't touch her, and he didn't seem to have any interest in her at all......
In fact, it is exactly like this, Liu Chengyou really hasn't paid much attention to it.
"Mouthy!" Da Fu Liu's eyebrows bent slightly, and he reprimanded lightly, but between the jade faces, a little pride and satisfaction appeared.
pulled the queen to sit beside him, hugged her waist, stroked her abdomen, and said in a very soft tone: "You are physically inconvenient, how can you do these mundane tasks yourself?" ”
The jacket has been ready, and Liu Chengyou said this, more like comfort, and expressed his recognition and approval of her hard work. Da Fu obviously felt it, and in the beautiful eyes like water, the soft color became more and more moving.
Although it was winter, the weather was cold and cold, but Liu Chengyou was very thoughtful, and the idea of the northern tour was aroused, and the thoughts were together, so he couldn't hold it back, and announced the decision of the northern tour at the Lidong Dynasty meeting.
Choosing such a season to go north is obviously not for sightseeing, but with a strong political purpose. In the past two years, Hebei Prefectures, disasters have continued, and the people have suffered very much, Liu Chengyou went north with the respect of the Son of Heaven, intending to comfort the people and appease the hearts of the army. The people of Hebei need to bathe in the majesty and grace of the Son of Heaven nearby.
Second, the strategy of the southern expedition was set, but the north could not ignore it, and even the weight of the north was better than that of the south. If he can't have a rear-facing environment that is safe enough, how can Liu Chengyou focus on the south affairs.
The affairs of the north, the first in the Khitan, for the grassland overlord, Liu Chengyou has nothing to do for the time being, and he can't exert any influence, but for the inside, it can be sorted out and adjusted, especially the northern border defense needs to be readjusted.
The border defense arrangement of the Han Dynasty in Hebei was established before Liu Chengyou went south, and it was relatively rough at that time, and with the current situation, it was necessary to do some major rectification and reinforcement in order to prepare for the south.
Mr. Liu's plan is to rebuild a tough enough defense line in the next two years. However, it is still necessary for Liu Chengyou to go north and inspect the military situation in Hebei, especially in Chengde and Henghai, before making a decision.
Liu Chengyou walked away as he spoke, and when he saw this, Da Fu didn't care, just sat quietly on his side, waiting silently, not disturbing him.
It wasn't until Liu Chengyou came back to his senses, noticed this, gave Dafu an apologetic look, and immediately raised his hand and rubbed his face, and sighed: "The world has been fighting hard for a long time, and I am committed to fighting the army and resting with the people. Therefore, in order to calm people's hearts and boost people's morale, I will do my best to do the winter patrol. ”
This is Liu Chengyou taking the initiative to explain his actions to Dafu, this kind of grace is more important for Dafu than you and me.
"Erlang thinks about the world and has the whole world in mind, I understand." Dafu looked virtuous and expressed his understanding and support for Liu Chengyou. did not dissuade Liu Chengyou from using objective conditions such as bad weather and difficult roads. If you say more, it is just a word of concern to Liu Chengyou, take care of your body, and be careful of the cold......
"It's just that you can't go north with Erlang, and you can drive with you." As he spoke, Da Fu's tone was filled with a little regret.
"There will be a chance in the future!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said warmly and shook his hand: "You are in Tokyo, you can give birth to a baby, and greet the Queen Mother for me every day!" ”
"Yes!" Under the big talisman, the jade hand subconsciously touched his bulging belly, and there was a motherhood between his eyebrows, a little cautious.
"Hmm......" After a deep groan, Dafu looked at Liu Chengyou and suggested: "Erlang is here, bring the lady of the folding family, so that you can serve." ”
Hearing this, he was surprised, Liu Chengyou turned his head to look at the queen, and his reasonable face was full of calmness. Surprised, only her face flickered, and then disappeared, without saying anything, just pressing her hand.
After Liu Chengyou left, Da Fu's expression changed slightly, and the maid next to her opened her mouth to speak, but she raised her hand to stop, thinking about Fang Cai's conversation, and the corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a confident arc.
After leaving the Kunming Palace, the inner attendant led the way, the guards followed, Liu Chengyou walked between the palaces, and his always calm face was rarely much more relaxed. Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, Fu does have the bearing and insight of the mother, which is very satisfying to Liu Chengyou. As for the vinegar he occasionally showed, it did not cause him to be impatient, but it made him feel real, smart and virtuous, knowing how to advance and retreat, being able to understand the general situation, it is rare to be able to do this, Fu Yanqing has really cultivated a good girl.
"Official, are you going back to the Chongzheng Palace, or?" Seeing Liu Chengyou's aimless appearance, Zhang Dejun, who is now almost inseparable from Liu Chengyou, took the initiative to ask for instructions.
As soon as the footsteps stopped, Liu Chengyou looked around and ordered: "Go to the noble concubine!" ”
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun immediately ordered to change lanes and lead the way.
Before going north, the queen stayed here, and she couldn't favor one over the other, and the concubine had to go there. Behind the queen and concubine, it can represent the two families of Fu and Gao, and the two old fathers-in-law, in guarding the place, still give a lot of support to the court, Liu Chengyou does not want to spread any bad rumors from the palace.
In the winter of the second year of Qianyou, in October Wuyin, Liu Chengyou drove out of Tokyo and went north to inspect.
This inspection, strive for efficiency, follow the simplicity. Everything was full of Liu Chengyou's simple style, except for the virtuous concubine Zhe and a small number of necessary attendants, he didn't bring anyone else.
Among the courtiers, Prime Minister Yang Wei and Li Tao plus the privy deputy envoy Wang Jun accompanied him, and Liu Chengyou led people, all of which were targeted. As for the escort army, only 3,000 cavalry were selected from the iron cavalry army in front of the palace, and rising stars such as Gao Huaide, Zhao Yanjin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhang Yongde in the forbidden army were able to accompany them, and Murong Yanzhao, who returned to Beijing to serve as the commander of the Longqi army, was deployed as the camp.
