In the spring season, inside and outside Tokyo, on both sides of the Bianhe River, there are green willows, but everywhere, there are already flying catkins, making the air not so pleasant. Since the time of Chen, the south gate of Kaifeng, which is called Dingding Gate by Liu Chengyou, has been strictly guarded by palace guards, forbidden soldiers, patrol inspections and differences, and the guard of honor is opened.

In addition, a large number of low-level officials and ordinary people, after hearing the news, came together to participate in the grand event, which was more like watching a lively event than a greeting. Since Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, it was the first time that such a grand and serious welcoming ceremony was held, including the previous personal conquest and counterinsurgency, as well as several patrols, all of which were hastily and even cancelled altogether.

Tens of thousands of officials, soldiers, and civilians bustled together, shoulder to shoulder, and vied with each other to look at the south. The climate has completely warmed up, a little hot, the atmosphere is a little warm, although there is no loud noise, but the buzzing discussion, gathered together, there is still a lot of movement.

About an hour and a half later, when the ordinary Qianshou became more and more impatient and even dispersed directly, a light horse finally came north to inform the civil and military forces, and Luan was coming. Shaoqing, through the rows of Lu house shops, you can see the flying banners, the flags of the forest, and all the officials who greeted them, immediately alerted, cheered up, and subconsciously tidied up their clothes, wanting to present the best appearance in front of the Son of Heaven who returned to Beijing.

Six horses driving the emperor's chariot, on the wide luan, Liu Chengyou sat cross-legged, holding a book in his hand, it was Li Fang for him to collect and sort out the central and local military and political systems of the past dynasties, obviously, for the current political structure of the Northern Han court, Liu Chengyou is still not satisfied, want to refer to, continue to deepen the reform and adjustment.

"Your Majesty, the Dingding Gate is approaching, and the ministers and officials and the people of Tokyo are waiting in front of the city gate!" Zhao Kuangyin came to report.

"Got it!" Liu Chengyou answered and put away the book in his hand.

Raising his eyes, he saw the moving eyes like cutting water, and when he touched the gaze of the Son of Heaven, he looked away like an electric shock, and he wrapped his jade fingers a little nervously, and plucked up the courage to face Liu Chengyou's scrutiny.

The little lady Zhou Ehuang is wearing a light purple palace dress, with a women's bun on her head, a little peach between her fair face, a jade belt tied to her willow waist, and under the gauze skirt, you can faintly see the inner lining embroidered with peonies, tightly attached to her chest, although she is not very old, but she is very material, Liu Chengyou has felt and played with her own hands.

This way back to the north, before having to serve the king, Da Zhou has become accustomed to the change of identity, from the former Jiangdu boudoir to become the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven, although she has not been given a name, but Liu Chengyou's love for her can still be felt.

As a talented woman, Cardamom is just starting out, and for love, Zhou Ehuang still has some expectations of "wind and snow, Qin Se and Ming". However, after going to bed, he quickly recognized the reality, and the son of heaven of the Han obviously lacked tenderness.

Staying by the side of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Zhou E saw the most is that Liu Chengyou reviewed a seal, met with a famous civil and military, and dealt with military and political affairs.

Even Xinna himself has been singing and working hard all night. Even if he has leisure, he can drive Luan, go out of the imperial camp, and he also patrols the Central Plains agricultural affairs, and even personally goes to the field and inserts seedlings on half an acre of land.

And the place to use her new favorite, in addition to warming the bed and sleeping, is to talk about songs, sing and dance, and chat to soothe emotions when she is tired.

In fact, during this period of time, she was still a little cold to the little lady Da Zhou. However, women are always precocious, and Emperor Zhou E has been cultivated and educated by his father Zhou Zong, and is very knowledgeable, obedient and mature, well-behaved, and well-behaved.

"You seem nervous!" Beckoning to Da Zhou, Liu Chengyou took him into his arms and asked softly.

The little lady showed a little shyness on her face, and responded softly: "The concubine is just the daughter of a captive, with a low status, and she is fortunate to serve the Son of Heaven and ride with Luan." Your Majesty will accept the welcome of hundreds of officials and soldiers, and it is really inconvenient for the concubine to follow Your Majesty again! ”

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou smiled faintly, reached out and stroked the crystal moon of the little lady, and said: "Zhou Gong has a beautiful daughter!" ”

After thinking about it, Liu Chengyou let go of Da Zhou again, and instructed Zhang Dejun to let him prepare another car, serve the little lady, and arrange to enter the palace!

"Wait, welcome Your Majesty's triumph!"

Luan arrived, in front of the Dingding Gate, the civil and military salutes, hundreds of officials bowed, and shouted in unison. Liu Chengyou leaned out of the curtain, stepped on the beam, and looked around, and the people around him had already spontaneously knelt down and shouted long live.

Looking around, there were crowds, tens of thousands of officials and people bowed down, and the scene was still very grand, which Liu Chengyou had never experienced in the army of hundreds of thousands, and he was very satisfied with this.

"Excuse me! All armies are exempt! All the people are exempt! A calm and loud voice came out of the mouth of the Son of Heaven.

showed his face, Liu Chengyou retracted back into Luan's car, and then, under the auspices of Zhao Shangjiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a ceremony to welcome the car into the city was launched, drums and horns sounded in unison, and the ceremonial flowers were flying. After the royal drive, the forbidden troops, lined up according to their military merits, entered the city in a calm and orderly manner, and received congratulations and cheers from the officials and people of Tokyo.

The triumph of the army brought back great martial arts, extraordinary achievements, and in the sound of jubilation, it was inevitable to be disappointed and sad. There are soldiers who have returned from a hundred battles, and naturally there are also those who have lost their lives, but the grief of those who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers is too weak and too sad in a festive atmosphere.

Back in the Han Palace, as usual, Liu Chengyou sent an edict, and the Tokyo ministers returned to their offices and kept their duties. Liu Chengyou himself went to the Ciming Hall to greet the Empress Dowager Li.

"Mother, my son is back!" In the palace, the Li family was waiting in front of the door in person, and when he saw the queen mother, Liu Chengyou bowed down directly.

"Hurry up and excuse me!" Li was obviously a little excited, and stepped forward to help Liu Chengyou up.

Just like in previous years, to welcome Liu Chengyou's return to the court, Li still stepped forward to look at the second son, and after confirming that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting in the palace, the concubines of the Han Palace are also there, and the first and third concubines, headed by the queen Dafu, salute Liu Chengyou. The queen is more and more graceful, the concubine is more and more gorgeous, Concubine Hui is obviously mature, and as for the virtuous concubine, her pregnant belly has protruded. Yingyan looked at Liu Chengyou's gaze, inevitably with some expectations......

Subsequently, the four princes of Liu Chengyou, led by the eldest son Liu Xu, bowed to Liu Chengyou. The eldest son, Liu Xu, will be four years old, a child, but he seems to be well-behaved.

The second son Liu Yang and the third son Liu Xi are only more than two years old, they can walk and run, and the genes of their parents who have inherited them are very beautiful.

As for the fourth son Liu Fang, he was only one and a half years old, and he was still babbling, saying that he was bowing and bowing, but in fact he was sitting there, and he couldn't sit still, he didn't look at Liu Chengyou, but he came to the strength, crawling around the three elder brothers, and he climbed quite fast.

This scene directly entertained the adults in the hall. Liu Chengyou couldn't hold back his smile, got up and held his fourth son in his arms, and while letting him struggle, he couldn't help but sigh to the Queen Mother: "It's still a good family, and a good mother, a good wife, and a young son......

"You are not in Tokyo, you are on the battlefield, leaving us women and children in the palace, I am really uneasy!" Li Shi said in a shallow and complaining tone.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou smiled: "Could it be that someone is disrespectful to his mother?" ”

Seeing this, Li shook his head: "The internal and external ministers and palace servants are all obedient and waiting, but you, the person in charge, are not there, and you are just worried!" ”

With a smile on his face, Liu Chengyou sat next to Li: "I miss Lao Niang!" If you fail to fulfill your filial piety in front of your knees, you still hope to forgive your sins! ”

Li said: "With the queen waiting for them, they are not lonely!" ”

Nodding at his concubines, Liu Chengyou said: "Today I am still in Beijing, call my relatives in Beijing, hold a family banquet, and the family will get together to celebrate!" ”

"Very good!" Regarding Liu Chengyou's idea, Li expressed his approval and directly agreed.
