It is said that the eldest princess was welcomed into the backyard of the state pastoral mansion, and when she saw the eldest princess Liu Jian, this was the first relative she saw after fleeing from Luoyang, she immediately couldn't suppress her excitement, ran forward quickly, hugged the eldest princess Liu Jian, and howled and cried.

The two are not related by blood, but they both grew up together in the deep palace, have no other relatives to rely on, move around each other frequently, and have a deep relationship.

The grief is moving; The eldest princess also shed tears.

After crying for more than half an hour, the eldest princess was tired of crying, and coupled with the hard work of the journey, she sobbed and fell asleep in Liu Jian's arms.

At night, when Gao Shun and Zhou Fei came to the backyard, the eldest princess had not woken up yet; The eldest princess was left to take care of her, and had the kitchen prepare meals to eat when she woke up hungry.

Seeing Gao Shun and others coming, Liu Jian and Gao Feng stopped talking and ordered someone to serve tea.

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun saluted first: "I've seen the eldest princess of Yingyin!" ”

Liu Jian immediately returned the salute and said with a smile: "Haha, the prince doesn't need to be polite!" I've seen the prince! ”

"Don't waste your courtesy!"

Then introduced each other, Liu Jian sighed in his heart, why Gao Shun's subordinates are such handsome and dashing men, and the brother-in-law he chose is almost as handsome as her husband, and they are all talents who can write and martial arts, which is too rare.

Although Zhao Yun is handsome, his height is lower than Gao Shun and Zhou Fei, and he looks weaker, not as powerful and majestic as Zhou Fei and others, so Liu Jian feels that Zhao Yun is not as handsome as Zhou Fei.

After everyone was seated, Liu Jian first asked: "Junhou, the soldiers of Yingchuan are in a panic, the fief is occupied, and no money and grain have been sent for several years. ”

Liu Jian has seen Gao Shun, and knows the relationship between Zhou Fei and Gao Shun's monarch and minister, Zhao Yun is Gao Shun's relative, and they are all people who have believed in it, so she was not restrained and asked directly.

Gao Shun didn't want to open the door of convenience, and explained: "Well, eldest princess, I already know about this, the princes of various fiefs in the country are living a similar life, even the expenses of the princes of Jizhou and Qingzhou have also been greatly reduced, just because considering that the fiefs of the two eldest princesses are occupied by rebels, the money and food of Yuanhang and Zizheng's fiefs have not been compressed; Add in their salaries, and you're going to have a good life. ”

Zhou Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Let's be content, Jizhou is rich, and the income of a county has far exceeded that of a county in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places. ”

"Yes, husband." The eldest princess responded to Zhou Fei in a low voice.

Seeing Zhou Fei's and his wife's attitude of talking like this, Gao Shun was very satisfied, so he asked, "What Yuanhang said is not bad!" May I ask if the eldest princess has already read the letter in the treasure box given by Shun back then? ”

Seeing Gao Shun ask, Liu Jian hurriedly got up and saluted Gao Shun and said, "Thank you, Junhou, otherwise I will wait for my life!" "If she hadn't left the palace in time, the possible situation now would have made people shudder just by imagining, so Liu Jian was very grateful to Gao Shun in her heart, and the current days have made her very satisfied; The imperial power is down, and the most difficult people are these princesses, and they no longer have the same dominance as before.

Gao Shun stopped Liu Jian's salute, looked at this handsome, plump, and colorful princess, and felt that as long as her behavior changed, she would still be very qualified as Zhou Fei's wife, so she asked, "Did you write a letter to inform the eldest princess of Yang Zhai?" ”

The emperor's daughter was generally named a princess; The eldest princess is the same as the emperor; One generation higher than the emperor is the eldest princess.

The eldest princess of Yangzhai is the wife of Qingzhou Mu and Guangping Hou Fangliang.

Liu Jian said gratefully: "We all know it, thank you for saving your life." ”

Gao Shun is very happy for them, Zhou Fei's family has two children, a son and a daughter, Fang Liang's family has three children, two sons and a daughter, life is very happy, the two eldest princesses read Gao Shun's letter, their hearts are greatly moved, if there is no marriage this time, they will stay in the harem, and now life and death are unpredictable; Nowadays, they no longer have the inferior nature of the princesses of the Han Dynasty, and they are gradually accustomed to being a good wife and mother, claiming to be ordinary people, and getting along with their husbands on an equal footing, which is very rare.

Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, seeing that you are doing so well, I am content, and I finally didn't work in vain." ”

After a pause, Liu Jian changed the topic and asked angrily: "The prince, Dong Zhuo is extravagant, sleeps in the dragon bed at night, the daughters in the palace are all victimized, and the hundred officials of the court are eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and Zhuo is cruel and unkind, and threatens the public with severe punishment, and the gap in the eyes will be retributed, and people do not protect themselves, why don't the princes wave their troops to clear the king's side?" ”

Gao Shun still said in a cliché: "The eldest princess is serious, at the beginning, Shun promised the first emperor, determined to be in the border county, to protect the border county from being plundered by barbarians, never to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, never to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, how can you lose faith in the first emperor?" ”

Liu Jian didn't believe Gao Shun's prevarication, and insisted: "Junhou, now that you are a chariot general, you have the right to conquer and quell the rebellion, and you do not violate your promise to the first emperor. ”

Gao Shun did not directly answer Liu Jian's question, but asked Zhou Fei rhetorically: "How many officers and soldiers are under Yuanhang?" ”

"40,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, a total of 80,000 officers and soldiers."

Gao Shun threatened: "Eldest Princess, there are a total of 80,000 officers and soldiers in Liangzhou and Sanfu regions, and there are fewer wars in other states, only 60,000 officers and soldiers, even if they are added together, they are not as large as the number of officers and soldiers controlled by Dong Zhuo, how can they clear the monarch's side?" Moreover, outside the border counties, there are a large number of barbarians, all of them are soldiers, if the border army goes south, they will take the opportunity to make trouble, and even collude with Dong Zhuo, and the northern Xinjiang will be attacked by the north and the south, and it will be difficult to escape; If he loses the containment of the northern frontier army, Dong Zhuo will be even more domineering, and the imperial court and the Han will be in danger. ”

Zhou Fei knew Gao Shun's plan, and echoed: "There are 80,000 officers and soldiers, more than enough for self-preservation, and the attack is insufficient, not to mention other small forces in Liangzhou, just Han Sui and Ma Teng have more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and Qianghu, where all the people are soldiers, we can only live in the city and defend, dare not attack, and rely on the strong city to confront it." ”

Gao Shun pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Alas, our development time is still short, the foundation is poor, the foundation is not enough, the border is poor, the war is numerous, the people are scarce, the climate is cold, the land is barren, and it is very difficult to raise the existing army, so it is necessary to quell the rebellion and expel the barbarians, before it is possible to gather troops and unite other princes in the Central Plains to fight a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo, even so, the outcome is still unpredictable." ”

Zhou Fei said again: "Dong Zhuo's more than 400,000 officers and soldiers, especially the Liangzhou cavalry of his headquarters, have been tempered by war, and can fight well, and the soldiers temporarily recruited by the princes of the Central Plains can resist. ”

Gao Shun sighed again: "Alas, what Yuanhang said is good, this matter is very difficult, the princes of the Central Plains, selfish, only know how to fight for territory, resulting in wars, people are displaced, how can they be united?" This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. ”

Liu Jian understood that what Gao Shun said was the truth, so it was not good to be too persecutive, and when he saw Zhao Yun and his wife sitting quietly and listening, he was afraid of snubbing them, so he changed the topic: "What a good match, they are so handsome and enviable, Yuan Pingjun is really a blessing." ”

Gao Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that Liu Jian would continue to ask, which would really give him a headache.

Subsequently, everyone drank tea to catch up and chatted about family life easily.
