Chapter 51: Farewell to Beijing
In the following days, Qiantai handed over the official seal to the newly appointed Jing Shaoyin, and went to the Ministry of Officials to file and hand over various matters in the Jingzhao Mansion.
Qiantai's Jixian official uniforms, employment documents, and seals were all delivered to Qiantai when they arrived with the holy decree.
Qiantai was divided into Jixian County in the north, and Qiantai originally wanted to hide it from his mother Yanyue Xiunu for the time being, and then inform his mother when it was time to leave after a while, so as to save his mother from worrying about his rumors. But in the end, the news was not concealed, but it was in the mouth of Concubine Zhen, and Yanyue Xiunu knew about Qiantai early. For this matter, Yanyue Xiunu also reprimanded the maid who was serving beside her, the eldest grandson Wujian, and blamed her for hiding the matter.
Qianxi Garden,
"You have always been steady and don't cause trouble, but now why did you let Your Majesty punish you like this?"
"Tai'er is a mother who was framed and affected by others this time. ”
"What's the problem, Your Majesty can give me permission to go to the Northland with you, which is already a generous gift. Yanyue Xiunu wept and asked: "Is there really no way, I heard Concubine Zhen say that the northern Youzhou is a frontier land, and it is very bitter cold." Wu'er, you are still young, the dignified prince of Shangjing, who is deeply loved by His Majesty, how can you be wronged by this. ”
Qiantai knelt in front of Yanyue Xiunu, lowered his head and said: "Now that the wood has been completed, it is impossible to overturn the case, even this time my father did not investigate deeply, and sealed me in Jixian County, which is also the result of Shangshu Li's request." ”
"Hey, there's really no way, I went to Jixian County. In the past, I was always worried that you would be persecuted in the capital, but today I really came, and I don't have to worry about your danger in the capital all day long. ”
"Mother. ”
"Get up, since you've already made a decision, let's prepare, don't go out on a business trip again. ”
"Yes, Mother. When they arrived in Jixian County, the child would serve by his mother's side and always accompany his mother. ”
"Silly boy, if you really arrive in Jixian County, I can't tie you to my side, how can there be a mother who blocks the child's career, you just need to be safe. Yanyue Xiunu stroked Qiantai's head and smiled with tears. He also instructed Qiantai: "Since you went to Jixian County this time, what are you going to do with the innocent girl, but her father is also in Youzhou in the north." "I want to send her back, I promised her when I was in Xiaye, but my father and queen came to let her act as a maid to contain her father, but since I want to live in Youzhou in the future, it is better to send her home." ”
"That's okay, they're also big girls. But it can't be delayed, or you can simply marry as a flat wife, so that as the imperial concubine, when you get to Youzhou, there is the eldest grandson general as a foil for your in-laws, and I can rest assured. ”
"It's too early to do this, and the child doesn't want to start a family too early. "Pure nonsense, what should I do if you don't get married, do you want me to be the only old woman in this house?"
"The child will think about this matter for a while, and as for the eldest grandson, Wujian will send him back first, and then discuss other things. ”
"Well, since you say so, then it's up to you. But you have to be careful, I like that girl very much, don't send it back in the future and never come back. ”
"Yes, Mother. ”
"Go and get busy with you, I don't have to worry too much here, it's good to come back to me when I have to leave Beijing, but I want to see Concubine Zhen and Liu Jieyu again in the next few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to this Shangjing in the future....... hey......."
At this moment, there was a sudden jingling sound outside the hall, and then a handful of small steps ran away, but it was the maid eldest grandson Wujian who heard the voice, sixteen years of getting along in this hall, and it can be regarded as living beside Yanyue Xiunu since he was a teenager, and suddenly heard that he was going to be sent back, and he hid his face and cried and ran away under the unacceptable situation.
"Go after it, T'er. Yanyue Xiunu said anxiously.
Qiantai looked out for a moment and thought: Since ancient times, it has been difficult for children to succeed, I hope she can understand. Qiantai said: "No, I think she will understand, and sending it to her father is something I promised many years ago." ”
"You, you kid......" Yanyue stood up and walked outside the hall.
As for the eldest grandson Wuji, Qiantai also considered in his heart, since ancient times, the love of children is a gentle mound, and in the previous life, as a ghost emperor emperor and god, it was taboo to provoke the love of red dust, and now Qiantai's great cause has not been completed, and it is better not to be entangled with the eldest grandson Wuji.
Moreover, the reason why Qiantai insisted on sending Changsun Wujian back in his heart was also the consideration of Changsun Sheng, the general of the Northern Right Xiaowei who befriended Youzhou. If you go to the north, you will definitely have a deal with Yuan Shao, the county guard of Liaodong County, and Youshui Sect, if there is the army of Sun Sheng, the general of Youzhou Wei, to help, you don't have to worry too much.
In the spring of 893 in the Jin Dynasty, Qiantai asked to see the Emperor Qianhuang to say goodbye, and the old emperor had some cold, but Qiantai was about to leave Beijing, so naturally he had no chance or need to express filial piety.
In terms of itinerary, from the north gate of Shangjing, take the official road to the northwest for thousands of miles to Lu County, and then turn north from Lu County to Yizhou, and go straight to Youzhou.
The whole process is an official road by land, and the reason why Qiantai chose the itinerary is that he can pass by the post station along the way, and he can actually get in touch with the situation of the Li people in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Moreover, there are the belief forces of the second element god in Feicheng and Yizhou, and there is a powerful way to borrow if something happens. Second, Qiantai did not accompany the navy this time, and all the dead soldiers around him were also land soldiers, and it would only be more dangerous if there were fewer troops on the waterway.
At the beginning of March, outside the city gate, a group of thousands of people, more than a dozen wagons in front and behind pulled large sums of supplies, and hundreds of black-clothed burly men with swords on their backs were escorted on both sides of the ranks.
Around the city gate, many people who went to Beijing went out of the city to see each other off, and they were reluctant to leave the Qingming prince and Beijing official.
At present, the eighteenth princess Yuyao is surrounded by a group of Tongwenguan students, and a few children of the family who went to the capital, Meng Qingshu, a disciple of the Meng family in Shangjing, and some other officials, said goodbye to Qiantai.
After talking for a long time, Princess Yuyao finally said to Qiantai: "Brother Nineteen, be careful on the way here, this is Lu Ju, a son of the Lu family, very talented, and was sent out (driven out) by the Lu family because of his words." My brother can't go to Jixian County without the advice of his courtiers, so I will entrust him to the emperor's brother and help my brother do this way. "Princess Yuyao, who is in her prime, stretches out her hand, and recruits a burly scholar among the students behind her, and recommends it to Qiantai.
Qiantai was more interested in the scholar's name. Looking at this scholar, with a cluster of green qi flowers on his head, he is indeed an extraordinary person of literary thinking. Looking at this person's burly five-foot appearance, there is no sense of being a weak Confucian. Qiantai asked: "You are not afraid that I, a troublesome prince, will have an accident and will be affected in the future." "The Nineteenth Prince may have 'right and wrong', but he has no chance of 'right and wrong', so Lu Juan is not worried. "Scholar Lu judged the face of the truth, quite a bit responsible. "A good judge Lu who was kicked out of the house because of his words, he is really a minister, and he has a bit of Lu judge's demeanor, so you can follow me, and you have to rely on Lu Judge to remind him a lot along the way. ”
"When Lu Juan visits His Highness, he will do his best. ”
The scholar bowed forcefully, Qiantai hurriedly helped the person up, and the monarch and the minister saw each other for the first time, and they agreed with each other a little bit in their words.
Suddenly, a group of rough black-clothed men with a height of two meters were tidying up the carriage in the procession of carriages and horses, each carrying a nearly zhangpu knife on their backs, and the sound of stepping on the ground was like a thunderous drum, and the knock was very amazing, falling in the ranks to protect both sides. "The Nineteenth Emperor Brother will still take Qing Er and the others away, I have a holy family in Shangjing, and my grandfather to take care of me, so I don't need to do this. "What the little princess is talking about is the hundred dead soldiers that Qiantai left for her.
These 100 strong men, with fierce breath and towering muscles, are all like a tower of meat. Like the strong men beside the carriage on one side, the poor people and officials around him jumped when they saw it. This is the 800 wrestlers raised under the Qiantai tent, each of whom is infinitely powerful, and is ordered to protect Yu Yao and other relatives and friends in the capital.
"Yu Yao treats me very well, I am going to the north, how can I let you stay in Shangjing alone, besides, my father and the old Shangshu are already old compared to the past, and they don't leave some people, you have to let Qianming leave with me on this trip, there are no cronies around here, how can I rest assured." ”
"Eighteenth Imperial Sister, you better accept it, otherwise how can I and the imperial brother rest assured. By Qiantai's side, the twenty-prince Qianming also persuaded him.
Qianming finally wanted to go to Youzhou with Qiantai, Qiantai originally intended to let Qianming stay in Shangjing to help Yuyao, but Yuyao pushed Qianming to him, saying that he would face hardships in Youzhou, and there would be dangers around him, but he was more difficult than her in Shangjing, and he needed Qianming to help him.
Yu Yao finally nodded and accepted this Bailishi, and everyone said something in front of the city gate, and Qiantai waved goodbye to the people who sent him off, and the parting feeling made people cry.
The nearest car driver in the queue next to her, Yanyue Xiunu, opened the window and instructed Qiantai: "Tai'er, it's not too early, let's leave early." ”
"It's the mother. ”
But I heard Yanyue Xiunu say to Yu Yao from afar: "This departure, I don't know if I can see the two sisters and Yu Yao again, Yu Yao, you must be careful in Beijing, Mo Yan makes my aunt worry about ......"
"I know, Aunt Yanyue......" It made people cry when they heard it, and they were so sad.
"Brother Meng, after Tai and the emperor's brother go, I hope to take care of them in the capital and help Yu Yao. "Although the nineteenth prince can rest assured, with my Meng family, Princess Dingbao Yuyao can't stand a little grievance, and I Meng Qingshu Mencius will stand in front of the little princess if there is something." Qiantai greeted everyone again, turned around and pedaled up.
Meng Qingshu is the sister-in-law of the Meng family, and in recent years, he has also been a powerful child in Shangjing. Qiantai sat on the horse and arched his hand: "In this way, we will say goodbye, Yuyao take care of it, take care of Lao Shangshu, and say that the great grace Wu Qiantai is unforgettable." "The two younger brothers, take care. ”
"Your Highness, take care!" everyone bowed.
"When the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, I will come here again!" "Drive ......" Qiantai flicked his horsewhip and flew out first. Behind the "driving .......", the twenty princes Qianming, the guards, and the leader of the dead soldiers, Qing Da, Lu Juan and others also took over the horses in the hands of other dead soldiers and pedaled away first.
The sound of snoring carriages sounded, and the procession of more than 1,000 people quickly set off from the north gate of the city, and disappeared far away from the official road. Only the people who saw each other off in front of the city gate sighed heartily, and the people who stayed there wept reluctantly.
