A month after departing from Changyi City, that is, on May 29, the welcoming group finally arrived near Bashang, northeast of Chang'an.

Bashang, so named for its location on the edge of the Ba River, has the advantage of being high and uplifted compared to the riparian plains of the surrounding platforms.

Because of this geographical advantage, Bashang has naturally become one of the military important places to defend the east gate of Chang'an.

Emperor Xiaowen once sent generals to lead troops to garrison three military points outside Chang'an to guard against the invasion of the Huns.

These three places are the fine willow of Zhou Yafu's garrison, the thorn gate of Xu Han's garrison and the Bashang of Liu Liju's garrison.

For thousands of years, I don't know how many princes and generals have entered and exited Chang'an from here.

Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Xiaohui, and Emperor Xiaowen all left their figures here.

Liu He didn't know what story he would add to Bashang.

At noon, the mighty welcoming group finally arrived.

The car under Liu He slowly stopped, and after the car stopped steadily, Le Cheng took Liu De and Bingji to the front of the car.

"Huh? Why stop now? ”

"Back to Your Highness, this is Bashang, the front is coming, the servant Shoucheng is leading the car of the Son of Heaven, and is waiting for His Highness in front, please get off the car of His Highness and change to the car of the Son of Heaven."

Liu He stood up and looked ahead.

Sure enough, through the battle of the cars he was on, he saw a team of more luxurious cars on the gallop a hundred feet away.

The car that stood out from the crowd was a six-plane safe car.

Even if you don't talk about the complicated decoration to the extreme, but looking at the width, it is two or three times as long as the car in Changyi country.

Liu He frowned, as if he smelled a trace of bad breath.

He is still a prince at the moment, even if he arrives in Chang'an, he still has to be the crown prince for a few days, is he qualified to ride in this heavenly car?

The answer is simple, no.

Walking on thin ice is Liu He's mood at the moment.

You can be disobedient in small sections, but you must observe propriety in general righteousness.

This time, it is a good opportunity to show that you have no desire for power.

Liu He asked indifferently, "Why is the Son of Heaven here?" ”

Le Cheng was asked so suddenly, he didn't know how to answer.

This should have been prepared by Taifu Temple.

As for why he did this, of course, he wanted to curry favor with the king of Changyi.

The generals have sent seven passes, so wouldn't it hurt to let the playful King of Changyi ride in the Son of Heaven car in advance?

Everyone wants to leave a good impression on the Son of Heaven, just human nature?

"This ...... This is naturally to welcome His Highness. ”

"The widow is the king of Changyi, but he is just a prince, how can he ride the car of the Son of Heaven?"

Le Cheng was a little speechless.

"I'm afraid this is because the Taifu Temple is showing respect for His Highness."

Le Cheng hasn't turned a corner yet, doesn't this King of Changyi like to have fun the most, how can he still shirk it.

Isn't he even satisfied with the driving of this heavenly son?

"If a gentleman does not give a courtesy for three years, the courtesy will be bad; If a gentleman is not happy for three years, his happiness will collapse. Etiquette collapses, and the country is not a country. ”

"Not to mention whether the widow can become the Son of Heaven in the future, but at this moment and here, the widow is still only the king of Changyi, and the king of Changyi is the prince of the Han Dynasty."

"The princes drive four, and the Son of Heaven drives six, this is a courtesy."

"Taifu Temple uses the Son of Heaven to drive to greet the widow, is it trying to trap the widow in an unkind and unjust situation?"

"His heart can be punished, and his people should be damned!"

Liu He stood on the high carriage and threw this series of words at several greetings in a domineering manner.

Le Cheng and the others under the car couldn't raise their heads.

Along the way, Liu He deliberately kept a distance from them.

Aside from the daily greetings, there is not much conversation.

So much so that they all think that Liu He is just a young man who has nothing to do.

It doesn't have to be crazy, so much so that I'm afraid I can't learn it.

But Liu He's sudden attack at this moment made them suddenly discover: King Changyi seems to have read a lot.

"The subordinates are stupid, and I hope that His Highness will forgive his sins!" Le Cheng immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty is stupid, I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins!" Bingji and Liu De also hurriedly knelt down.

This matter can be big or small, if the king of Changyi really wants to dig into it.

The driver can't get rid of it.

Damn Shoucheng, he wanted to slap the horse's ass, but he actually slapped the horse's leg.

Liu He looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, he slowed down his voice and said: "Zhuqing, don't panic, there are thousands of things about the funeral of the Son of Heaven, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes." ”

"The widow hasn't boarded the car yet, it's not wrong, go and talk to the servant, let them go back, and the widow will take this car into the city."

Le Cheng was granted amnesty, so he hurriedly agreed and hurriedly ran forward.

Not long after, Liu He saw that Tianzi's car had turned around and hurriedly retreated in the direction of Chang'an.

Liu He breathed a sigh of relief, and the few escorts who knelt on the ground also breathed a sigh of relief.

There are less than thirty miles to go to Chang'an, and no one wants to make any more twists and turns at this last moment.

"Your Highness, the servant Shoucheng has returned to Chang'an in the car of the Son of Heaven, please let Your Highness drive." Le Cheng knelt on the ground and said.

"Don't worry, wait for the Son of Heaven to drive first, and the widow will drive again."

"No."

A quarter of an hour later, the Son of Heaven completely disappeared from the road.

At this time, Liu Hecai ordered the group to continue to set off.

Le Cheng didn't dare to be careless, and rode a horse to guard the side of the car, not leaving an inch.

And Liu De and Bingji, the two deputy histories, returned to their original positions in front of the battle.

Compared with Le Cheng, who is busy before and after, these two deputy histories are very leisurely.

Not to mention that compared with Lecheng, even compared with Lihan, they are also a lot easier.

As long as the official history can still act, these sub-histories of theirs are just backups.

"I'm about to go to Chang'an, I've been away from home for many days, I'm finally back, but the door is right in front of me, why do you seem to have some displeasure when you look at Binggong?" Liu De quipped.

Zongzheng Temple and Guanglu Temple usually intersect in daily life, so the two can be regarded as acquaintances.

However, due to the sensitivity of the drive, Liu De has kept a distance from Bingji for more than a month.

Now, the mission of Yingjia is about to be completed, and Liu Decai relaxes a little, planning to talk to Bingji.

"I don't know where Duke Liu saw that I was displeased, although the Son of Heaven is great, but the new monarch is waiting to be established, as a Han courtier, why am I displeased?"

Bingji and Liu De are of the same age, although because they entered the company late, they have a lower rank. He was a lone ranger in the court, and although he had been a subordinate officer to the general, he did not have much intersection with the rest of the Huo Party.

Every day after the court, Bingji immediately rushed home, went deep into the simple out, and rarely participated in the banquets of his peers.

Over time, there were gossips in Chang'an City.

Only Liu De knew that Bingji and his wife Qin Se and Ming, the fear of guilt was simply nonsense.

The most critical reason why Bingji is reluctant to interact with other people is that he doesn't want to get too close to Huo Guang.

In fact, there is no shortage of such people in the DPRK and China: they seem to be the Huo Party, but in fact they are not dead set on the Huo Party.

And these people are all people that Liu De wants to woo.
