Han Shizu

Chapter 1047

Wei Ji, a horse galloped along the straight road, and before it, the officer on the horse landed lightly and reported loudly: "Report to the king, the fleet of King Wuyue has arrived. I heard that the king personally greeted him, and the king of Wuyue has already landed. Drive the horse Come!"

"Since the honored guest has arrived, we should get ready!" Hearing the news, Liu Chengxun stood up straight and said with a relaxed face, "Start the guard of honor, play the ceremony and music, cheer up!"

"Yes""

Soon, the honor guards stood along the road, the colorful flags fluttered, and the ceremony and music sang together. It was a beautiful scenery amidst the bleak wind.As for Qian Hongchu, after hearing the sound of ritual and music, he took the initiative to dismount and came on foot.

This time Qian Hongchu's team coming to Beijing is not small, there are more than [-] major civil and military personnel from Wuyue, and they also brought along Concubine Sun who is well-known in Hangzhou.Concubine Sun's name is too true, she has outstanding talents, but what is most praised by people is her benevolence and virtue. She has always been simple and frugal, without adornment, which is really rare in the extravagant Wuyue Palace.

Qian Hongchu had always respected Concubine Sun and praised her very much, and named her a virtuous wife.Of course, respect does not mean love, after all, those beauties who can accompany him to have fun are more likely to be liked.However, Qian Hongchu's mind is still very clear, he can find other concubines for fun, and he has to bring the famous concubine Sun with him for serious business such as going to Beijing. In addition, his frugal virtue is also in line with the style that the emperor has always advocated. She has a longer face.

It can be said that Qian Hongchu was fully prepared for this trip to the north, and he did not miss anything he could think of or should consider, and he took this matter very seriously.

Seeing Liu Chengxun who took the lead to greet him, a joyful smile appeared on Qian Hongchu's rich face, he took the lead and stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "What virtue and ability do I have, what can I do to welcome you personally at the Palace of King Yong!"

Liu Chengxun returned the gift and said: "The king of Wuyue has come all the way, he should be regarded as a state guest, and he is ordered by His Majesty to come and greet him alone. The king of Wuyue does not need to be humble!"

Hearing this, Qian Hongchu immediately turned serious, turned towards Miyagi, and bowed down solemnly.

Glancing at Qian Hongchu and his group, Liu Chengxun maintained a spring-like smile on his face, and stretched out his hand, "There are so many Wuyue sages, come north together, and the king of Wuyue won't introduce you to Gu?"

Qian Hongchu understood, and hurriedly laughed with him. First, he introduced his wife, Sun Taizhen, and then Yuan Dezhao and other major civil and military personnel. As for the others, they were not qualified.Under Liu Chengxun's introduction, he introduced Liu Xi again. The group of people was naturally polite, and Liu Xi responded politely with a leisurely smile.

"Your Majesty is very happy to learn that King Wuyue and Zhu Wenwu are going north. So Gu will hold a banquet first to wash away the wind and cleanse the dust, as a rest and comfort! The concierge courtyard is already ready, and I invite you to move into the city!" Liu Chengxun Said, every word and deed, always maintained demeanor.

Qian Hongchu naturally thanked him again.From the beginning to the end, the atmosphere between the host and the guest was very harmonious.

"Tao Xianggong, Your Majesty has an order. When you return to the capital, go to the palace to have an audience!" Before entering the city, an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs whispered to follow Qian Hongchu along the Taogu Road returning north.Hearing this, Tao Gu didn't dare to be negligent, and he stopped thinking about the banquet, and left.

On the other side, Liu Chengxun and Qian Hongchu shared the same car and communicated in private, which naturally reduced the hypocrisy on the official surface and was also kind.Liu Chengxun said with a smile to Qian Hongchu: "At the beginning when I sent Brother Jiu away from Beijing, I was looking forward to the day of reunion, and I will come to greet you again, but now, I have lived up to the promise of the past!"

Listening to Liu Chengxun's emotion, Qian Hongchu also showed a smile, his fair face was full of kindness, and then expressed his emotion: "The deceased is like this, and before I know it, nearly four years have passed. The world changes with time, and people are inseparable." , my brother-in-law is still handsome, but I have already grown fleshy, and I am getting old day by day."

Qian Hongchu is now more than 30 years old, but Liu Chengxun finds it quite interesting to listen to him pretending to lament his aging, and can understand his low-key thoughts, but he said with a smile: "Ninth brother is in his prime, life It's still early, why say you're old, the days to come are still long, so don't sigh for old age!"

Qian Hongchu also smiled, and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings!"

Liu Chengxun said with relief: "This time I come to Beijing, I will stay for a while longer. Madam has missed you for a long time. Even Liu Chun and the others are very looking forward to hearing that uncle is coming!"

Hearing this, Qian Hongchu's expression relaxed, and he said pointedly: "I have come to Kaifeng this time, and I don't plan to go back to Hangzhou anymore!"

This is Qian Hongchu's straightforward attitude. Even if he is determined in his heart, Liu Chengxun is not only a little surprised to see him so calm.Then, on the handsome face, the smile became more intense, and he said: "Tokyo is livable, and the imperial court will definitely welcome it warmly!"

"You and Mrs. Sister-in-law won't be staying in the hotel anymore. After the banquet, go to my Prince Yong's Mansion to have a talk!" Liu Chengxun said.

"That's what I meant!"

"."

Not long after Qian Hongchu entered Kaifeng, the huge fleet that accompanied him to the north also slowly entered Tokyo from Dongshuimen under the tension.There are dozens of large ships with extremely deep drafts, and the visible load almost raises the water level in front of the embankment by a few points.Even if you can't get a glimpse of its whole picture, you can still feel the jewels in the room, which can be said to have earned enough attention.

Such a scene can only be seen when the imperial court transported spoils to Tokyo in the past.The reason why Qian Hongchu's journey to the north was so slow was that the things he brought were too many and heavy.

Among them, there are 25 ships, the cabins are filled with gold and silver, pearls and jade, money and silk, famous utensils, and some rare treasures, such as those "worthless" souvenirs, which are seldom carried. Hongchu intends to dedicate it all to Emperor Liu.

In addition, there are five other ships that are also full of money, which Qian Hongchu intends to arrange in Tokyo.In addition, there were several ships, which were filled with all the books, files, and official documents of the prefectures and counties under Wu Yue's jurisdiction. Before arriving, he asked many people to copy them all.

"The Suzhou-Hangzhou area is indeed a land of abundant resources and natural treasures, and it really supports people!" In the Chongzheng Palace, Emperor Liu looked at Tao Gu and said with a light smile.

Tao Gu, the old man, really had a good time during his stay in Hangzhou, his face turned paler, and his body became rounder. Even though the journey was hard, it was hard to hide his full energy.

Faced with the emperor's teasing, Tao Gu was of course respectful, and replied with a low eyebrow: "I am ashamed!"

"This time I sent Hangzhou to liaise in the center, coordinate the military, and urged Qian Hongchu to go north. Tao Qing has worked hard!" Emperor Liu knew how Tao Gu performed in Hangzhou. Still be encouraged.

"Your Majesty does not take your ministers' virtues lightly, but pays them with their missions. I dare not slack off!" Noticing the emperor's attitude, Tao Gu also heaved a sigh of relief, and replied humbly, "I am in Hangzhou, but I rely on Your Majesty's heavenly power, while the subjects of Wuyue Don't dare to disobey, so everything goes well, don't dare to claim credit!"

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Chengyou became more serious, and asked: "Qian Hongchu went north to offer land, how did the subjects of Wu and Yue respond, after all, it is a power that has established the country for decades, not everyone is willing to do it!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Tao Gu also told what he knew: "This matter has indeed caused some controversy, but the imperial court has the power to destroy Liangjiang and Lingnan, and there are strong troops on the outside, but the hearts of the people are not in harmony inside. Wang Xiandi's intention is firm, even if there are a few people who are against it, it will be difficult to stop the general trend!"

After Tao Gu's words, Liu Chengyou was relieved, stood up, waved his hands, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Since the end of Tang Dynasty, the world has been destroyed and divided, and now it will be wiped out for me in one fell swoop!"

Noticing the expression on Emperor Liu's eyebrows, Tao Gu hastened to compliment him: "Your Majesty has a wise strategy that is unrivaled in the world, and the world has its own unity!"

"Lu Yin, please go on. Tomorrow, I will invite the king of Wuyue to a banquet in the Chongyuan Palace. All the ministers in Beijing and the civil and military officials above the fifth rank will have a banquet!" Liu Chengyou turned his head and gave instructions to Lu Yin.

"Yes!"

In the 15th year of Qianyou, on December 86th in winter, Qian Hongchu, king of Wuyue, entered Beijing. Dingkou, dedicated to the imperial court.

So far, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been divided for more than half a century, and finally tends to be unified.A new unified Han Empire rose again, standing in the east, looking everywhere.
