After finishing his farm work, Shao Xun returned to Kim Yong Cheng.

The auxiliaries have already eaten.

Shao Xun ate hastily, then picked up some prepared meals and headed towards Zhongcheng.

After passing through a gate, there is a courtyard in front of you, planted with flowers and trees, and more than a dozen well-decorated houses.

Concubine Pei and the queen were playing against each other, and when they saw Shao Xun coming in, they all looked up.

The princess is smiling, demure and elegant, and has become more approachable recently, like a delicate dish, full of fragrance and juicy when bitten.

The princess is also peaceful and tolerant.

Shao Xun likes the tolerance of women's bodies and minds.

The waste queen sheep is not as plump as the princess, but she is also slender and quite impressive.

But Shao Xun felt that this woman's mind was not simple - in fact, the princess's mind was not simple, but she sometimes made fools.

He had only met the queen twice.

The first time was to capture Sima Yi in the palace, the queen didn't say a word, ran directly to him, and called for help softly, it can be seen that her eyesight is very good, she is not flustered at the critical moment, and she knows what to do to be the most beneficial to herself.

The second time was the last time I saw your majesty.

Before leaving, the queen actually lifted the beaded curtain, revealing her delicate and pretty face, and only she knew how many schemes there were.

In fact, Shao Xun feels that Yang Xianrong and him are the same kind of people, and they both have a flexible bottom line.

In order to achieve the goal, sometimes some unconventional means are used.

Shao Xun himself is because of excessive killing, and he lacks a sense of awe in his heart, and sometimes he will do whatever it takes.

As for why the Queen of Sheep is like this, he is not very clear.

Come to think of it, it's probably still the environment.

A woman from a big family has a heavy mind and an extremely strong utilitarian heart. Yang Xianrong has been abolished and imprisoned several times, and her life is in danger at any time, and it is very possible that she will turn black.

Thinking of what he said to Liu Yao in history, Shao Xun can basically be sure.

Well, Queen Sheep is indeed quite beautiful, but this is not the main reason why Shao Xun pays attention to her.

There are thousands of people in the world, and there are more people than sheep who are more beautiful, but they are not queens.

In short, Shao Xun is only interested in the queen, whether this queen is called Yang Xianrong or not.

"See the princess, see the queen." Shao Xun put down the huge food box and bowed.

"The concubine is already a concubine, and the general doesn't need to be polite." Yang Xianrong said in a low voice, with a weak and sad taste in his expression.

Concubine Pei originally wanted to talk to Shao Xun about welcoming the Son of Heaven, but when she saw this, she said: "You can just put down the food box, if you have military affairs, go and deal with it yourself, don't delay." ”

"The servant has important things to ask for." Shao Xun put down the food box and took out the food one by one.

"This is a steamed cake made by a chef invited from King Wu's mansion." Shao Xun took out the same, and introduced the same.

King Wu went on the "Northern Expedition" and has not yet returned.

Shao Xun heard that his cook was good at making steamed cakes, so he invited someone over.

The upper part of the cake made by this chef will be split into a cross shape, similar to the flowering steamed buns of later generations.

This skill was not easy at this time, because fermentation technology was not widely used and was only mastered by a very small number of people.

He Zeng, the former lieutenant, only ate steamed cakes that were split into crosses at the top after steaming.

The same goes for scones, he doesn't eat them if they don't crack the cross.

Later, Zhao Shihu asked to stuff dried dates and walnuts into the cake, steam and roast them before eating them.

It's a bit of a pretense, but this kind of food is really very "technological".

"This is the rice made by the chef of the Langya Palace." Shao Xun continued: "Just fried and fished out. ”

Rice is also called chaotic accumulation, is a kind of glutinous rice products, half of water and honey, mix rice flour to be thin paste, put into the bamboo ladle with holes, so that the thin paste leaks into the oil pan from the hole, and is fished out after frying.

It's delicious, crunchy, and a little sweet, and it's very delicious.

King Langya also "went on a northern expedition".

Unlike Sima Yan, the king of Wu, the king of Langya managed to sneak back, and Shao Xun had just heard about it.

As soon as Sima Rui came back, he lived in Wang Yan's house. Then Wang Yan came forward and asked Mi Huang for permission, Sima Rui took his mother Xiahou Guangji out and went back to the fiefdom - it seems that he is afraid, not everyone can sing on the Luoyang Grand Stage, and it is not easy to quit with dignity.

Chen Yougen once suggested that Sima Rui be hunted and killed in Luoyang.

Shao Xun gave up after thinking about it, and Mi Huang couldn't help but give face.

He is now fighting with Wang Yan.

His eldest son Mi Zhi was commented by Wang Yan as "Shen Yi and decisive, talented through the economy, and can be the deputy committee of the Quartet." ”

Without a doubt, this is a very high rating.

Based on Wang Yan's words, Mi Zhi will be able to be conquered by the kings, generals, and governors of various Kaifu, and at least he can be a peng, a master bookkeeper, etc., and it is not impossible to engage in Zhonglang.

This is the power of Baume & Mercier reviews, and Mi Huang owes a big favor.

Hunting and killing Sima Rui will obviously offend Wang Yan and Mi Huang at the same time, which is not worth it.

Besides, he is not very enthusiastic about returning to Xuzhou to become an official now, and there does not seem to be too much conflict of interest between the two sides.

"This is the ...... of the cake" - boil water in a large pot, scoop the batter into a copper bowl with a small spoon, put the copper bowl into the boiling water in the large pot, stir the copper bowl to make it rotate rapidly, so that the batter sticks evenly to the inner wall, and finally take out the pancakes in the bowl and pour them into boiling water to cook, then take them out and put them in cold water again, and finally take them out and pour them on the gravy to eat.

"Horse Meat ......"

"Beef ......"

Shao Xun put the five foods he brought over on the table one by one and ate them one by one.

Concubine Pei smiled at him and began to fetch food.

Most of the time, Shao Xun only sent the teaching team to deliver food to his own soldiers, and he would do these things himself when he was free.

Today, the sheep was presented, and he respectfully handed over the diet, and Concubine Pei was much happier again.

Yang Xianrong thanked him softly, and then took the food.

"I still want to ask, how to welcome the Son of Heaven?" Shao Xun knelt opposite the two, frowned and asked, "Most of the officials are in Yecheng, and the servants don't know who to ask for advice." ”

Of course, there are people who can ask for advice, isn't Wang Yan? But for this kind of mouth-to-mouth expert, the source of the idiom "honest and untrustworthy", Shao Xun always feels that he should stay away.

The princess is from a family and is involved in this kind of affairs, so she is the best person to ask for advice.

"Ridiculous." Concubine Pei said: "Etiquette is not important, the important thing is to welcome the service. ”

The sheep was silent, only eating the food silently.

The war is in chaos, even if it is Zhong Mingding's food house, there are not many good things to eat now.

These meats and cakes were beautifully made and very delicious, and she had not eaten them for a long time.

The princess of the East China Sea is a good blessing, she has such a loyal and brave general, who serves diligently and loyally, and she doesn't have to worry about it wherever she goes.

Like her, when she heard the movement of the sergeant outside the hall changing guards at night, she would wake up in fright, and she would no longer sleep—without him, she was worried that someone would come to "give death".

After being deposed so many times, she was already on the verge of collapse.

At first, I would still cry, but now I don't cry, because it's useless to cry, damn it or die.

"How?" Shao Xun asked.

"Do you know Fupingjin?" Concubine Pei asked.

"Yes."

"There is a pontoon bridge in Fupingjin, which was built by Du Wuku. Jun may lead the army to Fupingjin to welcome the Son of Heaven. Concubine Pei said.

Shao Xun understood.

The pontoon bridge of the Yellow River built by Du is not the famous pontoon bridge connecting the three cities of Heyang in later generations?

I heard that the Tang Emperor sent people to Hongzhou, Jiangxi Province to cut down large wooden boats, and then connected them with iron chains to connect the southern city, north city, and Zhongyun city of Heyang (located in the sandbar in the middle of the river) as a whole, which is an important transportation infrastructure.

"Jun has made great contributions to the country, and then welcomed the Son of Heaven into Beijing, or he may be famous all over the world." Concubine Pei said again.

"Princess Xie for your advice." When Shao Xun heard this, he immediately got up and saluted.

He still had the old thoughts before the crossing, and subconsciously felt that this son of heaven had been mixed up so badly, he had lost face, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it, so he only planned to welcome the son of heaven in the suburbs of Luoyang City.

But Concubine Pei's words made him thoughtful.

It is true that it should go a little further and appear more sincere.

Concubine Pei mentioned "fame", which is the key.

If you are famous, you will have a lot of benefits, and there will be many people who come to take refuge, and it will be easier to be promoted in the future.

As soon as the Son of Heaven is happy, he may appreciate something. When the time comes, will Wang Yifu, the left servant of Shangshu selected by the Ministry of Officials, agree or oppose?

"Luoyang is protected by Shao Sima, if it is taken advantage of by the villain in the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven, it will be wasted." Yang Xianrong didn't want to speak, but maybe it was because of her short mouth, or maybe it was some other reason, she also nodded.

"Empress Xie pointed out the maze." Shao Xun saluted again and said.

The sheep offered to avoid it sideways.

She has been deposed as a concubine, even a sinner, and cannot afford this ceremony.

The two of them ate silently like this, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Shao Xun waited quietly, not in a hurry at all. It wasn't until they finished eating that they put away the dishes and turned around to leave.

"Since Luoyang is too peaceful, send me home tomorrow." Concubine Pei said suddenly.

"No." Shao Xun answered and strode away.

Yang Xianrong was a little envious.

There are no such people around her, and there can be no such people.

Now this person is named Sima Ma, the lieutenant of the East China Sea Kingdom, and he actually controls the military affairs of Luoyang, and even the governor Mi Huang is not good at disobeying his wishes.

If he can use it for himself, he can help the crown prince, who is also imprisoned in Kim Yong Cheng, to improve his situation in the future.

At the very least, you don't have to deal with that boundless fear every day.

If the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne, there will be even more benefits.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only once, and she really doesn't have the courage to die calmly.

Shao Xun didn't care what they thought, and after he returned, he summoned all the lords and governors and explained to them the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven.

Everyone has nothing to do.

According to the scouts, Zhang Fang did leave, and he didn't even stay too much in Hongnong County, looking like he was in a hurry, and he should have received a strict order from Sima Hao.

Then, it seems that it is the right time to leave about 8,000 people in the three divisions of He Lun, Wang Bing, and Miao Yuan to guard Luoyang, and more than 5,000 people from the kingdom's army and the silver spear army to go north to Fupingjin to welcome the Son of Heaven.

And so it was settled.

In the first year of Yong'an (304)—Yes, after learning that he would return to Luoyang, the Son of Heaven issued another edict to change the Yuan to Yong'an—On the fifth day of October, Shao Xun led his troops to leave Luoyang, and together with the "group of relatives and friends" such as the governor Mi Huang, they sailed north to Fupingjin.
