Li Zhi, Xie Yi and others set out from Chang'an and marched east along Weishui, but did not leave Tongguan.

Crossing the Wei River near Huazhou and heading north directly to the bank of the Yellow River, according to the normal path, it should be crossed at Pujin Guandong and entered Jindi.

But Li Zhi and Xie Yi did not do so, and it is said that there are already many Hedong officials waiting in Zezhou on the other side of the river, and now is not a good opportunity, they do not want to be "surrounded" as soon as they enter Jindi.

God seems to be very helpful, it is autumn, the upper reaches of the Yellow River have autumn rain, the river water has risen a lot, especially between the Jinshan Grand Canyon, the water flow is quite turbulent.

In this case, the pontoon bridge was withdrawn, and it was dangerous to cross the river by boat, so His Royal Highness King Jin and his entourage naturally stopped. Anyway, it's others who are anxious, not yourself.

Taking advantage of his free time, Xie Yi took Li Zhi to tour around, and His Majesty Li Er said that let Li Zhi go out for a long time, so that he could be regarded as acting on orders.

First go to Hukou to see the waterfall, it is the autumn flood, so the Hukou waterfall looks quite spectacular, Li Zhi's expression after seeing it is quite shocking. Xie Yi is even more comfortable, on both sides of the Hukou, there are no tourists like later generations, and naturally it will not be very crowded.

Later, I went to Hancheng, the ancestral hometown of Ma Qian of Taishi Company, to visit the hometown of Taishi Gong, and then went to the bank of the Yellow River to soak in a hot spring.

There are many hot springs on the banks of the Yellow River, and there is also a rather unique name called Virgin/Female Spring, which is said to be visited by local newlyweds before they get married. The water quality is excellent and the scenery is picturesque, and it is quite comfortable to soak in the hot springs here.

But slowly, Li Zhi was a little breathless and asked, "Xie Changshi, shall we stay west of the Yellow River?" ”

"Anyway, you can't cross the river, so why worry, what happened in the east of the river has already happened. Sooner or later, it doesn't matter. Xie Yi soothed: "According to the established itinerary, what can we see in the past?" Your Highness doesn't want to be bothered by those flattering sycophants, does he? So, don't worry, let others be in a hurry. ”

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "Then what should we do?" Where do you go first when you get to Hedong? ”

"Just find time to cross the river in these two days, and when you get to Hedong, you will naturally go to Jinyang first, which is my northern capital of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty Longxing, you should go and see it first. Don't forget, Your Majesty's will is for His Highness to go and pay homage to the former residence of Emperor Gaozu, and nominally not to put the cart before the horse. ”

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll go to Jinyang first, and I'd like to see it." Li Zhi nodded and said, "I really want to go and see it, and I also want to go to Jinyang Palace, I heard that the delicacy there is also good." ”

"Don't worry. His Royal Highness, as a prince and prince, is stationed in Jinyang, so he can naturally stay in Jinyang Palace. "That's right, it was the Jinyang Palace built by Emperor Yang of Sui, and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan was tricked into pampering two Emperor Yang concubines and forced to walk on the road of cavalry.

Xie Yi continued: "When you arrive in Jinyang, Your Highness rarely gets to see some people. ”

"Who?"

"The Wang family!"

Li Zhi suddenly said: "That's right." Taiyuan Wang is one of the five surnames and seven sects, and the largest family in Hedong. You have to see it. ”

"That's natural, but it should be the Wang family who took the initiative to visit Your Highness." Speaking of this, Xie Yi suddenly remembered that in the original history, Li Zhi's original partner was not Queen Wang, but was born in the Taiyuan Wang family.

This trip to Jinyang. If you meet with the people of the Taiyuan Wang family, will you meet a little girl, and then solve Li Zhi's marriage by the way?

It may exist, the King of Jin to Jinyang, it is very possible for the Taiyuan Wang family to invest in this prince. I don't necessarily hope that Li Zhi will go far. Just being able to marry the royal family, especially a prince who is loved by the emperor, will definitely have benefits.

As for Li Shimin's side, he should also be happy to marry a big family like the Taiyuan Wang family. Although Li Shimin has always hated the Shandong family, he also loves and hates, and he can't be beaten to death with a stick.

Fighting and pulling, it is the most appropriate way to suppress the Zheng family in Xingyang, and there is a lot of vigilance against the Cui family, and it is a very good arrangement to marry the Wang family.

Judging by historical experience, it is indeed quite possible.

It's just that it seems that Li Zhi and Queen Wang are not harmonious in history, not harmonious, and have no children, and finally ended up being abolished.

It's a pity to think about it, although in front of the royal family and politics, it's not a big deal, but the relationship between husband and wife is still harmoniously written.

Especially Li Zhi is still young, if he loses confidence in married life early, it will be a big trouble. Moreover, because Wu Erniang was in the Xie family, Xie Yi always felt ashamed of Li Zhi, so he tried his best to compensate him and let him have a happy married life.

Therefore, on this trip to Jinyang, we must be especially cautious when meeting with the Wang family, especially girls. For the lifelong happiness of His Royal Highness King Jin, you have to worry a lot!

……

After a delay of two or three days west of the Yellow River, the autumn rain gradually stopped, and Li Zhi and Xie Yi prepared to cross the river to the east.

The chosen location is still Pujin Pass, which was called Linjin Pass in the Qin and Han dynasties, as the name suggests, obviously. When Chu and Han were fighting, Han Xin crossed the river from here, pacified the Western Wei State, and then marched out of Taihang Mountain, so that he had the later battle against the water.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and it was from this that Li Tang's army calmly entered Guanzhong, and with the support of the Guanlong nobles, they seized the capital Chang'an, mastered the key points in Guanzhong, and thus unified the world.

There is no doubt that Pujin Pass is a very important strategic point, a few years ago the Northern Expedition to the eastern Turks, a lot of food, ordnance and other materials were also transported from here to Hedong, and then transported to Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other places.

Even though it is a time of peace, there are also a certain number of troops stationed here to protect the most convenient and important road from the east of the river to Guan.

When the king of Jin wanted to cross the river, the local officials were naturally well prepared, and they had already prepared their boats, lest anything go wrong.

Although there was a pontoon bridge built here during the war, it was not convenient to be plain, not to mention that the autumn flood is serious now, and the pontoon bridge is difficult to fix. In this era, there were no cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges and other designs and steel bridges, so the most convenient and safe was the ferry.

With a large retinue and more than 500 soldiers guarding the river, a lot of boats were needed to cross the river, and it can be said that almost all the boats near the ferry were requisitioned.

So that many people who crossed the river were delayed and wanted to cross the river but couldn't, but after a little inquiry, the prince crossed the river, so they obediently shut their mouths, and there was nothing to say.

However, there are exceptions, not that this person is bold and reckless, but that this person has a lot of status, and after some words, the defenders of Pujin Pass had to make it convenient for him to cross the river with His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

There is no other reason, Gai is surnamed Wang and is from Jinyang. (To be continued.) )
