The capital of the first month, in the past, was the most prosperous and lively time, but at this time it was like an empty city, the garbage and debris piled up on the streets, the storefronts of each shop were open, the embers after being smashed and looted had not been extinguished, and half of the paper was exposed in the mud and snow on the side, and half of the black characters on it were turned into half, but the remaining ones could still be seen clearly was "..... opened the gate to welcome the king of Tang, and the king of Tang did not accept food when he came...."

"People say that the Tang King has more than 100,000 men and horses..."

“.. The family has run out of food...."

“… Even if you don't wait to be killed by the Tang King's people, you will starve to death..."

"I've heard that the Tang Dynasty doesn't kill anyone..."

"Shhh 7

There seemed to be a whisper coming from behind every closed portal.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of people and horses galloping on the street gradually, accompanied by a voice announcing the defeat of the Li thief, this word has been said several times in more than a month, if it is not for the first belief in this, many people will not be trapped in the city, thinking about how this is the safest place under the feet of the Son of Heaven, I did not expect that when I noticed that something was wrong, it would be too late to escape from the city.

After a day of proclamation, there was still no ghost on the street.

It wasn't until the next day, when the proclamation sounded again, that someone tentatively came out to see.

Then the news spread, and the people at the city gate also sent a detailed description, they were caught and went up to the city gate, and through the cracks in the city wall, they saw the scene of the besieging thieves and wolves rushing to the city.

On the third day, standing on the city gate, you can see the army gradually approaching outside the city, these armies either hang the banner of Wang Zhouzhang and Zhao Lu surname or hang the banner of the old camp fort in Pingyang, Hedong, but the unity shows that this is the people of the imperial court.

The news also reached Shanxi, but Liu Meibao did not breathe a sigh of relief.

Her fingers ran over the tabletop newspaper, which simply stated that the court had rewarded the troops, but forbade them to enter the city.

The main play has just begun.

Since the tenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yan has not had a separate letter, Liu Meibao has flipped through all the newspapers and called the master to come over.

"Where is he now?" She asked bluntly.

"The capital." The master said.

"Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Liu Meibao glared and said. "The Di newspaper said that the thieves were chasing Beidu Sazhou and Xuzhou, who was chasing them?"

I'm stupid... The master snorted.

"Mrs. is smart." He said, and solemnly taught the lord that he was busy fighting abroad, so how could he have time to tell the woman everything, and the important matters of the military plane were very important.

"Okay, okay, I just asked you a confirmation guess, and I didn't say anything." Liu Meibao was nagged by his big head and waved his hand to send off the guests.

Shanxi soldiers blocked the city for a few days. There was news of the defeat of the Shanxi Hedong Army that pursued the Li thief, and several Li thief troops suddenly appeared in the southeast, so that the relieved capital suddenly blew up again.

A few days later, after the news of the defeat of Li Thief's troops came again, the Shanxi soldiers entered the city in the name of protecting the Son of Heaven.

When the news reached Hedong, it was already the first lunar month.

On the tenth day of the first month of February, it is the day when Hedong Fort holds a spring ploughing festival. Last year, a total of 3,000 acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and today a lot was drawn to distribute it to military households that do not yet have land.

The school grounds, where the daily military exercises are held, are crowded with laughing people, children are drilling around, and according to the population, everyone is collecting their land and plowing their cattle.

Generally speaking, there are still many people and few places, so the lottery can only be used to show fairness, and the lottery ceremony is presided over by Liu Meibao herself, and there is a nurse holding Lu Fang next to her.

Lu Fang, who had been raised for five months, was white and fat, wearing a red jacket, and Liu Meibao also dotted a little red on his eyebrows. Dressed like a boy of good fortune.

"Let the old man trust the blessing of the young master..."The first to draw lots was an old man, and he knelt down and said in fear.

Liu Meibao smiled and hugged Lu Fang personally.

"Whether it's good land or thin land depends on the destiny of heaven." She smiled, guiding Lu Fang's little hand to reach into the cage and grab a ball of paper.

"Hedong, three districts and five columns." The master smiled and took the paper ball from Lu Fang's little hand and unfolded it.

The third district is a good place near the canal, and the old man's family was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed.

Liu Meibao smiled and hugged Lu Fang and stepped back, letting the draw continue.

"Ma'am. It's cold. Let's go back early. Master said.

Liu Meibao hummed and looked at the military households who were drawn happily. The military household who didn't win the lottery looked envious, but no matter what, everyone was enthusiastic about the beautiful vision of the future life, and she couldn't help but look in the direction of the capital.

It's time to finish, right?

On the fifteenth of February, the emperor fell ill due to the fright of the Li thief.

On February 17, the Queen Mother and the Emperor moved to Xiyuan to recuperate.

On February 20, the Empress Dowager decreed that the king of Jin should inherit the unification.

On February 23, the king of Jin heard that he was crying and did not accept it, and ran back to Shanxi out of Beijing.

On February 26, the Empress Dowager issued another edict, and the Empress Dowager led dozens of officials to pursue the King of Jin and kneel to beg for a job.

On the first day of the first month of March, the king of Jin entered Beijing.

Next, Qin Tian supervised the election day, ascended the throne, changed the year name, and granted amnesty to the world, pacifying the people, and a series of things were done in May.

Lu Fang can already be framed and upright, and he is very happy with this game.

"Auntie, don't let him make trouble." Liu Meibao personally brought the tea over, "Carefully, my arm hurts." ”

Seeing Liu Meibao coming, the boat was uneasy in Song Sanniang's arms, and she snuggled at her with her arms outstretched.

Liu Meibao put down the teacup and took him, and he grabbed Liu Meibao's collar and reached outward.

"I don't want to stay in the house for a moment." Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Liu Meibao said with a smile.

"It's not like you've been running outside with him for a few months, and he's all running away." Song Sanniang said angrily.

Because she didn't want to snub the child, Liu Meibao took Lu Fang with her as much as possible these days.

"It's dark and thin.." Song Sanniang touched Lu Fang's face with a little distress and said.

Where did Lu Fang know that he was cared for, and he was bent on going out, he raised his hand and patted Liu Meibao's shoulder to urge, and was slapped on the ass by Liu Meibao.

"Go ahead." Then she handed over the child to the nurse and servant who had been waiting for a long time, and watched them go out lively.

"Didn't say when you'd be back?" Song Sanniang asked, "I heard that you are going to stay in the capital?" ”

The king of Jin ascended the throne as the emperor, but it was a mess, the Tartars in the north were eyeing each other, the anti-people in the south were mushrooming, the transfer of court personnel, and the generals with heavy troops from all walks of life were shocked and co-opted, all of which were imminent. Therefore, the Shanxi soldiers who were close to the King of Jin did not return immediately, but stayed in the capital and were dispatched.

"Helping in the Praetorian Guard, only temporarily." Liu Meibao replied.

"Is that going to be back?" Song Sanniang was a little disappointed, it stands to reason that Lu Yan's contribution is not small.

"I'm afraid he won't come back." Liu Meibao said.

"What are you thinking, is he like that?" Song Sanniang glared at her and reprimanded.

The hero in the eyes of the emperor is young and young, and after all, he has a bright future in the future, and there will definitely be many powerful people to win over. I have been alone for so long, and the place is full of flowers, rich and gentle...

Liu Meibao laughed.

"Auntie, where do you want to go, it's you who are worried, so I am not worried." She laughed.

Song Sanniang glanced at her.

It was already a little hot in May, and when the windows were opened at night, the lights were lit to attract flying insects. The servant woman hurriedly and carefully drove away.

"Go and rest." Liu Meibao washed up and said.

"Mrs. go to bed early at night, don't stay up all the time." The servant woman instructed.

Liu Meibao smiled and nodded, watching the servant woman close the window and retreat.

She shook her half-dried hair and sat on the big kang, Lu Fang was wearing a belly pocket, holding her lotus-like hands high, tilting her head and sleeping with her mouth drooling, her mouth grunting twice from time to time, probably still breastfeeding in her dream.

Lu Fang's face could already see Lu Yan's appearance. Liu Meibao couldn't help but stick it up and kiss it.

Lu Fang shook his head when he was disturbed, Liu Meibao hurriedly patted him lightly twice, put a small quilt on him, watched him sleep quietly, and turned around and took out a box, opened it, and it was full of letters written by Lu Yan, from the beginning to the present.

Through the letter brought back by Lu Yan, Liu Meibao was already very familiar with his daily life.

The Hedong soldiers were divided into two parts. Part of the perimeter defense. Some of them were charged into the Praetorian Guard, and Lu Yan was responsible for this part of the Praetorian Guard to stay close and obey orders. Everyone lived together in the barracks of the Praetorian Guard, right in the palace.

“.. Everyone is so happy to be able to live in the palace in this life...

He went out on duty every day, and at noon he ate at a restaurant outside the palace with the brothers of the Praetorian Guard, the food here was delicious, there were large bowls of meat and wine, of course, he was absolutely not allowed to eat and drink when he was on duty, and everyone went to the restaurant to eat at night, and he still couldn't drink alcohol at this time, because he had to be on call at any time, and he returned to his residence after dinner, and he was not very busy with work, and he didn't have to bother, everything was arranged by the above, but he was still a little uneasy in the capital, and he was still implementing a curfew, so it was impossible to visit the night market.

The night breeze blew in through the window lattice, and the jumping candle flame reflected Liu Meibao's quiet face, looking at the letters that she had read countless times in her hand, and the smile on her lips never dissipated.

At this time, Lu Yan, who was far away in the capital, was also stepping out of the palace gate, followed by two columns of heavily armed soldiers, one by one with solemn expressions, riding along the street.

The soldiers defending the city stood up straight and looked at them with a little awe and a little envy.

"This is Hedong Bing..."

At the beginning, the Hedong soldiers were the main force to deal with the Li thief, and they were responsible for the pursuit after the Li thief retreated, so they were outside for a long time, and they only entered the city after the king of Jin ascended the throne.

The people had recovered from their panic and stood in the streets, and were fortunate enough to see the army of the 10,000 thieves who had fled into the city.

Walking in the forefront is the cavalry, followed by the infantry pikemen, all of them are capable, all the same color of iron armor, these iron armor is designed by those veterans recruited by Lu Yan, for the opinions of these veterans, Lu Yan generously agreed, according to the regulations, the infantry in the army is not qualified to be equipped with iron armor, but Lu Yan believes that weapons and armor are a major matter related to life, there is nothing without life, money is a trivial matter, and the soldiers are equipped with armor, so they are made of sufficient materials to let the craftsmen of Hedong Fort belong to it.

Although it is not as regulated as the imperial court, for a general who guards the fortress, there is no second such thing in the whole world who can afford such an iron armor.

In addition, they immediately hung a dazzling array of weapons on their bodies, what flying axes, javelins, short spears, hooks, scimitars, all available, not to mention the people were dumbfounded, even the Beijing soldiers were surprised, the imperial court salaries could not be paid, their weapons were even more reluctant, the weapon rationing that had been regulated and required had always been just written on paper, and it was the first time they had seen a sergeant who was so strictly in accordance with the rationing.

Although there were countless people watching from the side of the street, these soldiers did not squint, and even the horses of the cavalry were safe and sound.

The ironclad sergeants of all colors formed a strict procession and marched through the streets, and after the bloody battle, the bloodthirsty smell was so terrifying that the onlookers could not help but be silent.

These soldiers are completely different from the Beijing soldiers they are used to, this is the soldiers, with such soldiers, why be afraid of Li Thief.

"These soldiers have also fought Tartars, do you remember, the great victory in Shanxi was their credit..."

"yes, yes, you have to say that I remembered, they also came back then, but they didn't enter the city..."

The Beijing soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order on the side, listening to these words, and then looking at these comrades, had complicated expressions on their faces, and many of them also remembered that the Shanxi soldiers who were thrown in the Beijing camp in the soil and rustic, and the Shanxi soldiers who were ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, did not expect to become a hero who rescued the capital today.

The discussion of the onlookers reached the ears of every Hedong soldier, and many of them straightened their chests, looking at the towering city walls, looking at the bustling streets, and looking at the faintly looming royal palace.

In the capital, we are here again, this time, we are able to enter the city, and we can accept the glory that belongs to us with dignity.
