After the emperor said these words, the emperor turned back to Tuoba and said cautiously: "Yu Qing protected you all the way, and you still don't thank you?" He motioned to the palace eunuch on the side to bring the wine cup.

Tuoba Shen hurriedly withdrew his hand, took the wine cup, presented it to Yu Deng with both hands, and wished: "The safety of Shen is paid to the general, and the general is also asked to drink this wine and pay Jiangnan together." ”。 Tuoba Shen knew that the emperor asked him to thank Yu Deng with a private courtesy, which was more solemn than only using verbal orders, and the Yu Deng family was the old lord who followed Emperor Liezu into the Central Plains, which was different from the ordinary attached family, and was also the in-law family of the imperial family. For a child of a noble family like Yu Deng, the emperor personally asked the prince to serve wine for him, and most of the glory in the world is no more than this, and he will naturally do his best to protect his safety in the future.

For Yu Deng, all this happened too suddenly, so he didn't expect it, but the emperor's sincerity made him feel it very clearly. Looking at the wine cup served by Tuoba Shen, Yu Deng did not hesitate, took it with both hands and drank it all, and waited for the palace eunuch next to him to take the wine cup, and thanked the emperor: "Chen Deng has been driving for three years, without size of merit, Your Majesty is not shallow as a minister, and suddenly entrusts a minister with a big matter, how dare the minister not follow the power of dogs and horses." The minister is here, he does not dare to leave His Highness, the minister is in His Highness, and the minister is not in His Highness. ”

The emperor helped Yu Deng and said: "I know that Qing is loyal and brave, and he is not comparable to others. Therefore, Tuoqing loves his son. Qing can be loyal and diligent, very kind! I have changed my name and loyalty, changed my name to think of Xian, and I hope that I can understand my heart and always encourage myself. ”

"Thank you for your majesty's name, and in the future, you will be loyal and diligent."

Tuoba Shen saw that the emperor changed Yu Deng's name in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, the emperor has a very bad habit, that is, he likes to change the name of others, Yu Deng is not the first, it is estimated that there will be later.

。。。。。。。。

He stayed in the Huangxin Hall for half an hour, got a lot of instructions from the emperor, listened to a lot of caring words from several uncles, and promised him some things to use on the road before leaving the Huangxin Hall.

Just now in the Imperial Letter Hall, Tuoba Shen learned that the emperor had ordered Taishi Ling to check the good day of travel a few days ago, and he would leave tomorrow afternoon.

Time waits for no one, is he not ready yet? This back and forth thousands of miles, needless to say, the clothes made of fine silk can no longer be worn outside, along the way there is a lot of dust, and the car wall is constantly rubbed on the car, but it is not as good as coarse cloth clothes. I also have to bring some books, I'm afraid that only to store these books will have to be accompanied by an extra car, but the emperor said, don't be lazy on the road, you can't slack off in your studies, and when you return to Pingcheng, the emperor will personally come to teach him his studies, for which he also listed a bibliography. The emperor's words suddenly made him plan to take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way and live in the palace for ten years. The good mood, which had been impatient for a long time, took a lot of blows.

When I returned to the Zhongyin Hall, I saw that Cao Guiren did not leave, and stayed in the hall to talk to Feng Qing, but I didn't see Ah Li, who had been following Feng Qing, and Ah He, who was beside Cao Guiren.

Feng Qing and Cao Guiren saw that Tuoba Shen had returned, and ordered someone to bring tea, and after Tuoba Shen took a sip of tea, Feng Qing asked, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

Tuoba Shen said again that the emperor told him not to waste his studies and other non-official duties, as for going to meet the king of Xianyang, there is no need to say that Feng Qing and Cao Guiren will not be interested in these things, let alone want to know, these are all foreign court affairs, and have nothing to do with the harem.

Feng Qing and Cao Guiren frowned when they heard that they were going to leave tomorrow afternoon.

The moment is a little short.

"Ah Li is packing up your clothes, you go and take a look, if there are any shortcomings, quickly write it down, I and your Aunt Cao will prepare it for you, don't be in a hurry when it comes to use."

Tuoba Shen put down the teacup, answered, and after bowing slightly, he left the main hall and went to bed. He put a lot of things in it himself, so Ah He and Ah Li don't mess with them.

。。。。。。。。。

Since returning to the Zhongyin Hall in the morning, Tuoba Shen has not gone out again, and has been busy packing up his belongings and thinking about what he needs. At noon, he flattered the two aunts for lunch.

Today's lunch is rich, that is, the ingredients are good, there is a steamed bear's paw, as well as boiled abalone, seafood, it may be more difficult to eat seafood in Pingcheng, but this way thousands of miles, I don't know how much it costs to send over. After all, the current emperor is not Li Longji, and he can't do anything to make people run away day and night for the sake of ingredients.

Compared with the taste, there is still a gap with the taste of later generations, after all, at this time the condiments are very lacking, the most used by the folk is the sauce, garlic, green onions, pepper, etc., the court is more refined than the folk, in essence is still the same. The lack of seasonings, and the lack of iron pots, a big killer, naturally make food far from being comparable to later generations. However, in his previous life, Tuoba Shen was not from a big family, and he belonged to the group of people whose imagination was limited by poverty, so he was content with these delicate foods now.

After lunch, when he accompanied the two aunts to have some food and drink tea and chat, Tuoba Shen remembered that he had not said goodbye to his third brother Tuoba Ke before leaving, and although it would be afternoon departure tomorrow, he would definitely not have time to go to Qifeng Pavilion in the morning. And not only Qifeng Pavilion has to go once, but the other nobles, the nine concubines and Peng Cheng, and the two princesses and aunts of Gao Ping have to go to pay their respects, otherwise it will be too rude. I thought there was plenty of time, but I didn't expect it to be so tight.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Shen looked at the sky outside, put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up and said, "Auntie, tomorrow's trip is imminent, and I forgot to say goodbye to my aunts and aunts before noon." I want to go and say goodbye now, and I think there will be enough time to come. ”

Feng Qing and Cao Guiren were also busy dealing with Tuoba Shen's affairs in the morning, and they didn't think of going to the concubines to say goodbye, so they secretly blamed themselves for being confused, thought about it, stood up and said, "But it was me and your Aunt Cao who were confused and forgot about such a big thing." Quyun Pavilion (Zheng Concubine) and Hongyantang (Feng Hui) I can go with your Aunt Cao, and you can go to the rest of the places. Needless to say, just stay for a moment to explain what happened. ”

"Hmmm! Go there right away. ”

Take Lu Guang and rush to Qifeng Pavilion first. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Qifeng Pavilion for the past three days.

After the report, Tuoba Shen entered the atrium, and the noble man was here with her two children as always, and there was nothing to do, so she did not leave the two children to the nurse to take care of.

Xiao Yi Niang'er heard the footsteps coming from the main corridor, looked over, and then ran over with staggering steps, and shouted happily: "Second brother"

This sister was finally able to speak in early February of this year. At that time, the emperor still came to Qifeng Pavilion for a long time because of this incident before leaving. In the past two months, I have also learned some simple words, but if there are many people, I will still be confused, and it is very cute.

Tuoba Shen didn't have time to look at the atrium, so he hurriedly ran over and helped the youngest sister steadily, but it was not easy to salute like this.

"Erlang went to Taihua Hall in the afternoon, but when did Your Majesty say to set off? My aunt happens to have something to say here that Jiro knows. I was thinking of going to the Alto Hall tomorrow to find you, but I was happy that Erlang was here, and I didn't have to worry about my aunt. ”

Tuoba Shen looked up, it turned out that it was Princess Pengcheng who said this, and the position she had just done just happened to block the noble person, and Tuoba Shen was in a hurry to help his sister, so he didn't notice her.

When his aunt asked, Tuoba Shen wanted to salute and answer, but he had to give up because his sister was holding his hand, and replied: "When Taishi Ling calculates that it is good, it will be tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Such a hurry......" Princess Pengcheng and the noble people were a little surprised.

"What does my aunt command, if the little nephew has something to serve, he doesn't dare to postpone it."

"It's not my aunt's business, it's my Liu family's father-in-law's business."

Danyang King Liu Chang? Is there anything he can do that I need help with? Liu Chang is the top among the kings with different surnames, even Xiao Baoyin, who later fled to this dynasty, was treated worse than him, and he married three princesses one after another. Although Liu Chang is not as talented as his two brothers Liu Jun and Liu Yu, he is quite reliable in doing things, how can something find him?

Tuoba Shen half-hugged his sister to the noble man, who took his daughter and nodded to Tuoba Shen. Tuoba Shen saluted the nobleman and Princess Pengcheng and said, "Dare to ask what the ancestor commands?" ”

"My father-in-law learned a few days ago that his nephew was going to Jiangnan, so he thought about letting the uncle go with his nephew. My father-in-law has been in the imperial court for more than 20 years, and he has not been able to go to Jiangnan to worship his father. On the same day, the Xiao family usurped the throne, and the father-in-law cried bitterly for several days, did not drink or eat, and hurt the ruins of the temple of his father and ancestors, and could not get up again. Although the ancestral temple of Pengcheng can be sacrificed, it is not comparable to the mausoleum. It was because he heard about the virtuous nephew, so he wanted his uncle to go to Jiangnan to worship on his behalf. ”

Tuoba knew that the most valuable thing about Liu Chang was his identity as the ninth son of Emperor Wen of Liu Song. This kind of important person, of course, the imperial court has to take good care of him, and there will definitely be people staring at him all the time when he leaves the capital. Of course, Liu Chang has also performed very well for so many years, and the court trusts him, so the Liu family can marry the court for two generations.

The uncle of the Liu family is called Liu Wenyuan, Tuoba Shen has seen it a few times, and he is not even a nodding friend. Although Liu Wenyuan is the eldest son, his mother is not a princess, but born to the concubine Wu that Liu Chang brought when he first came to vote. Princess Pengcheng's husband Liu Chengxu was born from the second princess of this dynasty whom Liu Chang married. He also has a sister-in-law named Liu Hui, who later married the second emperor's sister, Princess Lanling.

Taking Liu Wenyuan to Jiangnan, this matter is not something he can call the shots, although Liu Wenyuan is not very important, in the end, it is the descendant of the former dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, how can he dare to say that he will take it with him?

Princess Pengcheng is also a clever person, looking at Tuoba Shen's embarrassed face, remembering that what she just said was not finished, she continued: "My father-in-law went to see the imperial brother yesterday for this matter, and the imperial brother has already agreed. If it weren't for that, how could my aunt say that? Although the royal brother agreed, it was just that my uncle did not have a listed envoy after all, so he still needed to be taken care of by his nephew. ”

I see! That's okay to say.

Tuoba Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since the aunt has orders, the little nephew obeys them, but Liu Jun's identity is limited, I am afraid that the Southern Dynasty may detain him." ”

"My father-in-law also considered these, but he couldn't get his wish for many years with his filial piety, and now he sees that Erlang can cross the river regardless of the danger, and he can't care about anything else, he just wants to be able to do his best."

When Tuoba Shen heard this, he also sighed a little for Liu Chang. This is the fate of dying in another country, sending people under the fence, even if you receive high courtesy, the remnants of the country will not be able to move freely, which cannot be avoided after all. In the end, even worshipping one's father and ancestors is a luxury.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Shen remembered the plan he had made in private before, when the Great Wei collapsed in the future, or when he couldn't stay out of the political struggle and his life was threatened, he went to Wu'er's "old man" Xiao Yan. I didn't feel a little stupid, and my hand clenched my fist slightly.
