Chapter 303: The Princess Enters Luo
Anapu's wishful thinking was loud, after all, as a wife, once a son is born, she is the eldest son and the legal heir of Gao Cheng.
He also knew that it was unrealistic to expect the ten-year-old Worm Princess to give birth, but after two years of raising, reaching twelve was already the limit of what he could endure.
In this era, there are not without women who give birth at the age of twelve or thirteen.
So after listening to Bald Tujia relay Gao Cheng's thoughts, hoping to raise Princess Worm for a few more years and then practice husband and wife ethics, he had the special task of Bald Tujia.
When Bald Tujia was in Luoyang, he didn't just care about eating, drinking and having fun, and he had a lot of information about the Eastern Wei Dynasty, even Yuan Zhonghua married a wife of the Gao family at the age of seven, but he had been raised in the Qinghe Mansion until he was sixteen years old, and he never let go.
Anapu didn't have the patience to wait six years, if not longer.
As a marriage envoy, Bald Tujia is also very difficult, my brother has already said that he will not be allowed to return to Rouran if he does not give birth to a son-in-law, although Luoyang is good, he really let him stay there for many years, but I am afraid that he will be forgotten by the royal court.
But the elder brother Anapu has always been the same, and his decision, Bald Tujia didn't dare to be right, so he could only think about his righteous brother.
Naturally, it is necessary to be calm and discuss this matter with Gao Cheng.
No one will carry a knife, block the door and abuse, and force others to have sex, no?
In Jinyang, there was also a convoy that set off for Luoyang, and it turned out that Gao Huan sent the tenth son Gao Xiang and the eleventh son Gao Ji to Luoyang to be raised by Gao Cheng.
Gao Huan was born to You's family, and in the early years, You's had no children, Gao Huan even had the idea of handing over his nephew Gao Rui to her to raise, but he gave up because of Gao Cheng's dissuasion.
The eleventh son, Gao Ji, was born to Lou Zhaojun, the same age as Gao Xiang, both of whom were less than a year old, and were carried south by the nurse in the carriage.
Gao Huan, who sent off his two sons, took Gao Xiaozhang, Gao Xiaoyu and his wives and concubines to patrol Hebei again a few days later.
200,000 Bingzhou Hu will follow him across the Taihang Mountain to Yecheng, and after staying in Hebei for some time, he will transfer to Henan to pay homage to the Son of Heaven in Luoyang.
The army is open, and it costs a lot of money, but after the autumn, it will send troops to Guanlong, and it is also a matter of duty to deter the locality.
In order to avoid the army entering the customs, but facing the dilemma of a fire in the backyard, he wants to see which one dares to use the lives of the whole clan to relieve the siege for Yuwentai.
Gao Cheng was also preparing for the Western Expedition, and for this reason, he did not promulgate new reform measures, so as not to overstimulate the Kwantung Gate Lords.
Now that Rouran is friendly with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and is trying to destroy Gaoche, he will definitely not interfere in the war in the Central Plains.
Gao Cheng even used his political credibility to make an appointment with Tuyuhun as a brotherly country, and he would not go all out to rescue Tuyuhun if he wanted to.
The only one who could intervene in this battle for the unification of the north was Southern Liang.
To this end, Gao Cheng planned to recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses from the five prefectures of Xiang, Hebei, Ding, Cang, and Ji after the autumn harvest to be commanded by Lou Zhao, the assassin of Jizhou, to go south, stationed in the tiger prison, and Duan Shao, the assassin of Liangzhou, to lead this army and horses, and to respond to the three major defense areas in the south, namely Jingzhou led by Hou Jing, Yuzhou led by Yaoxiong, and Xuzhou led by Gao Yue.
Gao Cheng just can't trust his own brother, but he trusts his uncle Lou Zhao and cousin Duan Shao 100%, and the reason why Duan Shao is divided is only because he is worried that Nanliang will rescue Western Wei and attack on all fronts, and Lou Zhao will have no time to clone.
Gao Huan's frame was only out of Taihang, and when he came to Hebei, the bald Tujia who sent off his relatives also entered the territory of Shuozhou, that is, Huaishuo Town that year.
At this time, fifteen years have passed since Anapu burned down Huaishuo Town, and the former Huaishuo Town is still in ruins and has been abandoned for a long time.
Bald Tujia glanced at Huaishuo Town, and said in her heart:
If it weren't for my brother's fire, He Liuhun would not have achieved what he is today. ’
This statement is not false, it is precisely because the six towns were destroyed and the townspeople were displaced, and the Northern Wei Dynasty had to move the soldiers and civilians of the six towns to Hebei, Ding, and Ying Prefecture for resettlement, and it coincided with the flood and drought in Hebei, which triggered the Hebei uprising in the six towns.
Gao Huan also relied on his resume in the righteous army, entered the enemy camp alone, and rebelled against Ge Rong's 10,000 people in battle.
The family sending team continued to go south, and when they arrived in Jinyang, they were supposed to visit Gao Huan, but they learned that he went to Yecheng to inspect Hebei, so they stopped.
By the time we crossed the Yellow River, it was already summer.
On April 23 of the ninth year of Taichang (540), Gao Cheng personally went to meet his fiancée Princess Worm and his brother-in-law Bald Tujia and others outside the Jianchun Gate.
From time to time, sentry horses came to report the distance, and Gao Cheng did not wait too long, and soon, he saw the convoy coming from the detour north of the city.
The first was Bald Tujia, who was on a par with Murong Yan, and when he saw Gao Cheng from a distance, he rushed to the horse.
"Brother Xian is busy with official business, so why do you need to go out of the city to greet him in person."
Before anyone arrived, the voice reached first, and Bald Jialang laughed.
"Brother Cheng has come from thousands of miles away, if Cheng is not on official business, he must be going to the border to greet him."
When he turned over and dismounted, Gao Cheng and Bald Tujia hugged each other tightly, as if they really had a deep feeling.
When the two were greeting, the convoy also got closer, and the curtain of a carriage was lifted, and the worm princess looked at Gao Cheng through the gap, and said secretly:
It turned out that Murong Yan didn't lie to me, if he was really born well, he just didn't know how to do it.
Gao Cheng first spoke a few words to Murong Yan, and after being appeased, he asked Bald Tujia to introduce Princess Worm to him.
When I got to the front of the car, the curtain was completely opened, and I saw a girl with wheat-colored skin and facial features that had not yet grown.
Gao Cheng just briefly communicated with Princess Worm in Xianbei language, and then led the group into the city.
Gao Cheng deliberately made a detour to Luoyang City, so that Princess Worm could see the prosperity of the Central Plains, and it was not a good thing that she was too withdrawn.
Of course, this time he still avoided the funeral for a living, filial piety, and Fengzhong Erli.
There is also a market in the Rouran Royal Court, but it is not as prosperous as the Luoyang City in any way.
In the end, it was a ten-year-old girl, Princess Worm saw a lively scene that she had never seen before, although it was only a cursory glance, but she was deeply impressed, and she was already planning in her heart to go to Luoyang City one day to have a good trip.
Gao Cheng placed Bald Tujia and Princess Worm in the Yanran Pavilion, and they were not married yet, and they could not move into the Bohai Mansion immediately.
He deliberately emptied the courtyard where Anapu lived and arranged for Princess Worm to move in.
Listening to Bald Tujia's introduction, Princess Worm missed her father who was far away in Mobei again, and couldn't help but express her gratitude to Gao Cheng with red eyes.
After getting along for half a day, Gao Cheng felt that his ten-year-old fiancée was not quite unreasonable, and he also let go of the big stone in his heart.
If you really want to marry a brutal woman and make the house restless, it will be a headache.
