At the end of October, the weather is gradually mild and there is a trend towards cooling.

From the southwest to the east, on the official road leading to Luyang, Yangzhou, in the carriage that swayed slightly, Meng Tong opened the curtain, and his wife looked at the scenery outside.

This is seven days after leaving Huizhou, following the envoy team escorted by the Qingzhou army, to the junction of Yangzhou to the Central Plains city of Luyang, on the way to understand how rich the Central Plains was that his brother Meng Dan said.

"The country is mountainous and has too little arable land, if there is half of the Central Plains, the people will not be miserable."

He lowered the curtain and sighed to the old wife in the same car, after more than ten days of marching, the trembling in his heart made his temples have many white traces, fortunately, on the way, the envoys of the Xia State and the commander of this army did not feel sorry for him and his family.

The stone hanging in my heart is half down.

"Your Majesty...... Husband, there are no ifs in this world. The woman sitting next to her bit off the thread in her hand, raised her face and smiled gently, and when she came down from the queen's position, she did not feel the slightest discomfort but felt a sense of relief.

After traveling north with her husband, she started embroidering in the car.

"yes, there are no ifs."

In the carriage, Meng Tong nodded, then sighed, and after a moment he laughed again: "But the family is a blessing in misfortune." When you arrive in Luyang and see Yuyin, don't tell her how Zhuo Wen and Jintai died. ”

When the cause of death of her two sons was mentioned, the old woman's smile faded just now, she lowered her head and said 'um', then stopped talking, and while her husband didn't notice, she quickly raised her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and continued to chat with her husband in a relaxed and gentle tone.

The carriages slowly drove across the flat road, and the carriages behind the two carriages, namely the second Meng Zhaolin, the third Meng Ximao, the fifth Meng Youyuan, and the sixth Meng Lingjin's carriages, they looked at the horse team passing on the side of the car, and looked at the cavalry named "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", most of them had not recovered from the shock.

"This is just the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army?" The second Meng Zhaolin was talking to himself, ignoring the words of his wife and concubine beside him. Looking back and thinking about the soldiers and horses under his command, there is a huge gap compared with the Qingzhou soldiers in front of him.

Thinking of what his father said that day, he couldn't help but feel deflated, and then he thought about the future, when he arrived in Luyang, whether his family would be killed, whether it would be liquidated little by little, and finally the family would fall into the middle of the road, and the family would be ruined and so on.

Compared to him, the other three brothers can see it openly, anyway, the second brother who can become the prince the most is the same as them, what else can't he think of.

In the third carriage behind, the third Meng Ximao didn't have so much thought, he was open-minded and optimistic, while looking at the scenery outside the car, he laughed with the wife and concubine in the car: "When we get to Luyang, if Your Majesty doesn't kill our family, we will be in the fief given by Your Majesty in the future, so happy, speaking of which, we will be Xia people in the future, hehe!" ”

Thinking of the picture of life in the future, how chic it should be, he was a little excited when he thought about it, "When the time comes, should you go to the Qinglou first?" Or take these beautiful concubines everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers and see the scenery of the Central Plains and the Northland? When you hear about the Northland, you can also go to the snowfields to see the heavy snow and ice sculptures. ”

"Great!" Six or seven beautiful concubines in the car shouted happily.

And in the third carriage, the fifth Meng Youyuan has not yet come out of the thoughts of losing his family and country, the eldest brother and the fourth brother being killed, sometimes when he thinks about it, he clenches his fists, and he can't wait to die with the emperor of Xia Kingdom, but when he sees the strong soldiers and horses outside, the one-eyed general galloping on the horse, just looking at each other, he was stunned, and he was scared into a cold sweat.

As for the sixth Meng Lingjin, although he moves freely, his body is still very weak, the assassination of the fourth brother has made him hold a grudge all the time, and now that the person is dead, the hatred has disappeared, as the youngest prince in the past, it is basically impossible for the crown prince, and now that Yue Guo is dead, like the third brother, the mood is not so heavy.

After all, the Xia State is so powerful that just one Huizhou can see how strong the economy and agriculture are, not to mention that there are many generals and armies who can conquer and fight.

Just the soldiers and horses escorting them, Meng Ling felt that he could sweep through the Yue Kingdom.

The more he thought about it, the simpler his thoughts became, and he occasionally looked out of the car curtain, hoping that this trip to Luyang would go smoothly, and it was best to give his father a good fiefdom, so that he could live this life happily.

The convoy and the army continued to move forward, and the orders and cavalry sent out continued to go back and forth, conveying Xiahou Yuan's orders at the front and making marching adjustments, which can be seen from this point that Xiahou Yuan was extremely rigorous whether he was marching or fighting.

This is completely incomparable to his brother Xiahoudun.

Another day in the past, enter the Luyang territory, arrive at the outskirts of the West Gate, and see the towering city wall from a distance, the flags are lined up, fluttering in the wind, the city wall is simple and solemn, and you can see a brand new place on it, which should have just been repaired and reinforced.

At this time, the west of the city was in a state of blockade, and there were Tang troops armed to the teeth along the way, and Meng Dong and his four sons inquired one after another to know that this was another army of the emperor of Xia.

It made them look sluggish, mixed with a little happy expression.

Soon, the officials of Honglu Temple received them, and after drinking a cup of dust-washing tea in the pavilion outside the city, they continued to ride in a carriage and followed the officials of Honglu Temple into the city gate, drove through the bustling and noisy streets, and stayed at the post house on the side of the imperial city.

After resting for a day, Meng Tong and his four sons dressed up in full costumes, and accepted the eunuchs sent by the palace to teach them the etiquette of meeting Su Chen, after all, the Central Plains and the southern Yue Kingdom are different, and there are some differences in etiquette.

It was almost an hour before the sky began to lighten.

The father and son got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, along the foot of the imperial city, all the way to the imperial city gate, through the towering red wall palace road, and then got off at the Zhaoyang Gate, Meng Dong looked serious, but his steps were stiff, and it could be seen that there was still some nervousness, and the same was true of his four sons.

"Your Majesty, please!" The eunuch who led the way walked on the side with a smile and a groan, leading the way for the abolished emperors of other countries, he had already done it once, and he looked quite skillful in his gestures.

"This father-in-law, please!"

Meng Tong also smiled, when he was still the emperor, how could he be polite to a eunuch, but today he learned the etiquette of the Central Plains Palace, and learned from the eunuch who taught that there was also a great eunuch in the palace, who acted as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom, and was still the commander of the navy, so he didn't dare to offend, in case these eunuchs held grudges and said bad things about his father and son, it would be troublesome.

Soon, the Guangyun Hall arrived.

On both sides of the hall, the soldiers were tall and mighty, wearing iron armor and holding halberds, walking in the middle as if walking through two steel walls.

"Emperor Meng Tong of Xuanqian Yue entered the palace to meet my Son of Heaven-"
