Seeing her husband's busyness for her to go south, the eldest princess was very moved, and her heart was warm with the feeling of being pampered.

After several months of preparation, the eldest princess of Wan Nian embarked on a journey to the south in the autumn and winter season of the eighteenth year of Xingping, and she hoped to accompany Liu Xie in Changsha for the New Year.

The journey was far away, and she didn't want to take her children there, but she didn't know if she would have the opportunity to see Liu Xie again in this life after this trip to Changsha, so she discussed with Feng Yong and finally decided to take her little daughter and young son to go, and the eldest son and eldest daughter stayed in Luoyang.

Since they are not limited by time, they choose to take the good path, even if they spare more roads and spend more time; Go east out of the Tiger Prison Pass, go to Yanzhou, go south to Yuzhou, and then take a boat to Yuzhang County. The counties along the road are very rich, the roads are very smooth, and the logistics and conditions are relatively good.

If you take the road from Nanyang County to Nanjun, although it is much closer, it has suffered from war, and it has not taken the initiative to immigrate to Chuzhou, and now it is sparsely populated and the conditions are relatively poor.

Feng Yong is a feudal official, a general trusted by Gao Shun to lead the army, the eldest princess of ten thousand years has a prominent status, and the local officials will not be lazy, even those big clans also actively performed, and they have sent generous gifts and are eager to make friends.

The eldest princess was inconvenient for the families to receive her, so Zang Ba pushed away all the banquets and sent back all the gifts; Even if the horse material is needed, according to the quantity, the corresponding copper coins will be left; The meat, vegetables, and grains needed along the way are also purchased at a price.

Her fief is in Wannian County, north of Chang'an City, in the Weishui alluvial plain, the land is fertile, and she harvests a lot every year, she has enough money to prepare gifts, plus the gifts sent by Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, and Liu Xuan, the eldest princess of Yangzhai, as well as the gifts prepared by her husband Feng Yong, filled more than 100 carts; Coupled with more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, it is vast and spectacular.

The royal family's travel is something that has never happened for so many years, and the people along the way are vying to see it.

The flag is unfurled, the officers and soldiers are majestic, and they are very powerful and beautiful; However, only a small number of people knelt down to greet them, and most of the people watched from afar, which would have been convicted of a felony in the past.

Coupled with Gao Shun's previous restoration of the fief of the eldest princess of Yang'an and the appointment of Yang Xiu and others, people can't help but think about Gao Shun's behavior.

Xu Chu is mainly responsible for guarding the safety of the eldest princess and the children, and has a great responsibility; Zang Ba is mainly responsible for the safety of the carriage and undertakes external liaison and communication matters, which is even more busy and hard.

The further south we went, the higher the temperature became, and the children were very excited and had a great time camping or eating.

The eldest princess of Wan Nian compared what she saw along the way with her previous impressions, and she didn't understand why the people's livelihood in the same world was so difficult under the governance of her father, but under the governance of Duke Wei, they could live and work in peace and contentment?

At this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan in Changsha were very embarrassed, and if they were not allowed to come, they would definitely offend Duke Wei, and the consequences would be unpredictable; Let them come, but bring a few thousand strong soldiers, in case of an incident, the inside and the outside should be combined, then they will definitely be defeated; In the end, the two decided that the eldest princess could come to Changsha, but she should bring no more than 1,000 guards.

You Heng argued with reason, using money and food as a threat, and Li Dao and Guo Yan relaxed to 1,500 people, and any more, it was beyond their control.

Many details were agreed, and You Hengfang sent a message to Yuzhang County.

Li Dao sighed with emotion: "If Taishi Dong hadn't given Liangzhou to Duke Wei at the beginning, at least now we can still have a place to go." ”

Guo Yan didn't think so, Dong Zhuo sent Liangzhou to Gao Shun at the beginning, but also because the Liangzhou rebels were powerful, approaching Chang'an, threatening Luoyang, and wanted to use the Liangzhou rebels to drag Wei Gong's army, but to kill people with a knife, so he said: "Wei Pingping Liangzhou, it took nearly ten years, and the money and grain expenditure was huge, if we put down the rebellion, how could there be such a big source of money and food?" Maybe it's still in a state of chaos. ”

Li Dao said: "Even if Liangzhou is chaotic and Wei Gong is persecuted, we can gradually retreat westward, which is better than being trapped in Changsha, right?" ”

Guo Yan said: "Haha, this is no wonder to others, when we went south, we could easily lead the four southern counties, Yuzhang County and Jiaozhou, and finally fight the Jiangdong Qinguan, but the process was unsatisfactory." ”

Li Wei thought to himself, Jiangdong Qinguan has long had a close relationship with Gao Shun, and the Flying Bear Army led by him was defeated by Jiangdong, otherwise you still want you Guo Thief to talk nonsense here?

Now that the two are fighting for each other and gradually stabilizing, it is not easy to work hard to maintain the current situation; They also understood that as long as they did not die, the Duke of Wei would not take the initiative to send troops to rescue the imperial court, and as long as the emperor was in hand, they could continue to maintain the status quo; Sitting together and reminiscing about the glorious days of the bloody and rainy days is their happiest moment.

Qin Guan received the news from Gao Shun and was very cautious, and sent Dong Xiqin to lead an army of 10,000 to Yuzhang County to garrison in case of accidents; and ordered Fan Neng and Zhang Ying of Lingling County and Guiyang County to prepare for the reception; Ordered the Taishou and Du Wei of Yuzhang County to gather troops to prepare for war and supply the supplies needed for the trip of the eldest princess.

Liu Ye wanted to go to Yuzhang County to greet the eldest princess and her party, but he was worried that his emotions would be out of control at that time, so he finally gave up; The general trend has been decided, and it is useless for him to go to see the eldest princess of ten thousand years, it will only increase his worries, and he can only adapt to the status quo when he is unable to change the status quo.

What made him more pleased was that Qin Guan arranged it very meticulously and thoughtfully, and even doubled the amount of tribute to the imperial court that month and sent it in advance.

He still wondered in his heart, why did Gao Shun respect the eldest princess so much, but he didn't save the court, let alone replace the court?

Emperor Liu Xie and the court officials were all excited when they learned that the eldest princess had come to the province.

Only after Fu Wan's heart was depressed, he was very aggrieved, and his hard journey to the north only prompted Gao Shun to restore Liu Hua's fiefdom; He originally intended that everyone would count the credit of the princess for ten thousand years of traveling south as the result of his journey to the north, but everyone ignored him, and even Emperor Liu Xie had opinions about him, let alone those courtiers.

The palace began to get busy, preparing for the arrival of the eldest princess, and Liu Xie and Fu Shou personally supervised to ensure that every corner was clean and dust-free.

Liu Yu personally supervised the officers and soldiers sent by Li Dao to decorate the post house in the northern part of the city; Huang Wan supervised Guo Yan's officers and soldiers to repair the military camp in the south of the city.

The officers and soldiers of Li Dao and Guo Yan had already received an order, this was to receive the eldest princess, whose husband was a general under Gao Shun, and they must be cautious, and treat the eldest princess of Wan Nian with a hundred times more respect than the emperor, otherwise there will be a mistake and they will not be spared.

Those soldiers thought that the arrival of the eldest princess would definitely bring a lot of gifts, and even the monthly tribute sent by Yangzhou Mu would increase, and they would also improve their lives.

At this time, the eldest princess had crossed the Huai River and arrived at Shouchun.

The state pastor Xiang Rong and the military advisor Lu Su warmly received him and prepared a generous gift for the imperial court.

The eldest princess was so gracious that she finally had to accept two hundred cows; She considered that after crossing the river, the cattle would be able to follow the brigade forward, and after arriving at Changsha City, they would be able to cultivate the land and slaughter and eat meat.

For fear that the princess and her party would not be accustomed to taking a boat, they did not arrange to board the boat at the naval base in Chao County; In order to shorten the boarding time, the boarding place was set up in a small water port in the southeast of Xunyang County.

Xiang Rong and Lu Su had arranged a large number of merchant ships there to transport the princess and her party and the gifts they carried; and sent the naval army Zhonglang to personally escort Jiang Qin to Chaisang City.

The eldest princess of Wannian understood that everyone did not respect her so much because of her status as a princess, but because of Gao Shun's face and her husband Feng Yong's face, so she tried not to trouble the officials along the way.
