Chapter 1210 The Third Northern Tour

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the climate had not changed significantly, and Emperor Liu was unable to sit still in Xijing, so he issued an edict and embarked on a tour with great fanfare.This time, the target is in the north, out of the fortress.

In the matter of going on tour, inside and outside the palace, the government and the public are all familiar with it, and the emperor ordered all preparations to be made quickly and properly.The scale of the tour was not the largest, and there were only more than [-] people in the camp. Except for the escorting guards and the imperial army, the rest of the entourage were not too many.

Among the accompanying ministers were Zhao Kuangyin and Li Ye. They originally wanted to bring Chai Rong with them, but he was not in good health, so he stayed in Xijing to recuperate.

As for bringing Li Ye, on the one hand, it is necessary to bring a prime minister of the political affairs hall so that he can inquire and handle some affairs at any time, and on the other hand, it is to save Zhao Pu trouble. There will be no peace.

Among the empresses and concubines, only Concubine Gao Gui, Concubine Zhexian, Concubine Guo Ning and Concubine Yelu were accompanying her. Empress Fu's body needs to be cared for, and Emperor Liu could not bear her to be toiled by the driver.

The princes, who have reached the age of eight, are all accompanied by Qin Gong Liu Xu and Jin Gong Liu Xi, including the crown prince Liu Yang.Speaking of which, this was the first time Liu Yang went on a tour with Emperor Liu since he was canonized as the crown prince. In the past, when Emperor Liu was away, he always stayed behind in Zhenjing.

The purpose of taking Liu Yang is also very simple. Emperor Liu didn't want Liu Yang to become a sitting prince because of his status. He was trapped in the capital for a long time.In particular, one should have a thorough understanding of the situation in northern Xinjiang.

This time, Emperor Liu did not set up a state prison, but he was not too worried about the stability of the capital. There were big talismans in the palace, and Zhao Pu and Song Qi presided over the outer court to handle state affairs, plus Wei Renpu, Liu Chengxun and other important officials, The clan's stare was enough to reassure Emperor Liu.

It was the first time for Yujia to set off from Luoyang, cross Hebei, and enter Hedong via Heyang. This route had never been taken before.

Because of the long journey, the Luanjia has also been specially modified, paying more attention to comfort, shock absorption, and bump prevention.It is not as wide as walking in the Central Plains, but it is also riding six horses.

The weather was still hot, and Emperor Liu stayed in it with only his unlined clothes, leaning against a pillow, flipping through the memorials casually, which is not a good habit.

The one riding with him is Concubine Gao, who is also in a thin skirt and light gauze, indistinctly, although Concubine Gao is old, she is experienced in seducing people, and she understands Liu better than those young beauties. The emperor's heart.

It is not a problem at all to describe today's Concubine Gao as "a young woman who is still in her prime, but still has a charming charm".Coupled with the slightly closed environment and the hot climate, passion and desire seem to be brewing silently
It's a pity that Emperor Liu's attention seemed to be on those memorials, which made Concubine Gao a little depressed.The movement of the hands also reflects the mood, and he waved the fan vigorously.

Sensing the change in wind force, Emperor Liu finally raised his head and looked at Concubine Gao. A little sweat appeared on the beautiful woman's skin, exuding the breath of female hormones.

Emperor Liu said: "If you're tired, stop fanning, it's not that hot!"

Concubine Gao said insincerely: "I disturbed the officials to read the memorial!"

Emperor Liu smiled slightly, seeing this, Gao Guifei said with a little resentment, "What's the matter, so that the officials can't release the paper while they're on the way?"

"Liu Xi's account of his experiences in the south, which took a lot of thought and content, has not been read." Emperor Liu said: "It records some conditions in the cities of Huguang, and mentions the three cities of Jiangling, Changsha, and Panyu. It’s not that the south is relatively safe, and the enemy is in the north, I really want to see it with my own eyes.”

Listening to her son's memorabilia, Concubine Gao's face showed an unnatural look, a bit difficult to get along with herself.Should Emperor Liu continue to watch it?

"Don't read it!" Emperor Liu simply put down the memorial, twisted his body, turned around a little, and lay his head directly on Concubine Gao's plump thigh.
Staring "confusedly" at the plump and slightly drooping chest, Emperor Liu said with emotion: "You son! You are clearly a smart and clever person. It's like letting him tour the south, and he will gain something from everything he observes. Able to hit the mark and quite insightful.

But ah, from childhood to adulthood, he always hides the edge and guards the clumsy in everything. Among the princes, there is no one who is more precocious than him!I don't know how he developed his obsessive character, without warning, could it be that you were too strict in the past? "

When Emperor Liu praised Liu Xi, Concubine Gao Guifei was still very happy, but after hearing this, she became unhappy and said: "He is also your son, and you are the one who educates him, how can I really control him? "

Emperor Liu said: "That lazy style doesn't look like me at all. Asking him to do something for the imperial court, to do some errands, and he often refuses. It seems that your words, a mother, may be more useful than mine. .”

"I can't afford to say that from an official! You are the emperor, and he is a courtier. If you really have an order, can he still refuse? In my opinion, it was because you were too lenient to him at the beginning, and you have just developed the current state of affairs." Temper!" Concubine Gao couldn't help complaining.

As she said that, Concubine Gao suddenly frowned, and said: "According to the officials, in the eyes of your father and son, am I that fierce?"

"Where's the matter?" Emperor Liu quickly changed his words: "Even if the tigress, I love her so much!"

This remark annoyed Concubine Gao even more, but feeling Emperor Liu's joking tone, she was not a troublesome person, she moved her body to make Emperor Liu lie more comfortably, and said with concern: "Are you going to let Liu Xi do anything? Job?"

"Don't worry, he won't be asked to raise horses again." Emperor Liu closed his eyes, and said leisurely, "I have to find him a position to temper his temperament, isn't he lazy, don't give him a chance, let him get busy! "

The two emperors and concubines were talking, but the ambiguous atmosphere did not continue to intensify, they were old husband and wife.Emperor Liu was not in the mood to really have a car shock, he just chatted with Concubine Gao, which was very rare for Concubine Gao, so he was not dissatisfied.

"Reporting to the official family, Luo Du has arranged to report. He has arrived in Gaoping. Do you want to stay and rest?" Zhang Dejun, the envoy of the imperial city, came to ask for instructions.

For Zhang Dejun, Emperor Liu was really used to it, and he took him with him wherever he went. During the camp, he served in front of the imperial court with Yan Tuo.

Hearing this, Emperor Liu did not hesitate at all, and directly gave instructions: "Order Luo Yanyu to cross Gaoping and go north to camp at Yangtou Mountain!"

"Yes!"

This time the camp was deployed. It was Jingyang Marquis Luo Yanyu, who was one of the important generals who served in the early days to follow Emperor Liu. A general who has a sense of proportion and is more appreciated by Emperor Liu.

"The official's family passes the county seat but doesn't enter, and they are not welcome, or are they worried about disturbing the local area?" Gao Guifei asked.

"There is a reason for this!" Emperor Liu replied, but shook his head again: "Fortunately, the emperor, it is impossible for this tens of thousands of people to stay completely undisturbed. Mountain, or to remember the original.

In the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I led the Longqi Army to go south, took Luzhou, recruited heroes, and directed our troops at Zezhou.When they continued to go south, they encountered a strong enemy. Yelu Deguang sent Geng Chongmei to lead thousands of troops northward. At that time, the battle broke out on the line of Yangtou Mountain.

Since I took charge of the army, the first tough battle I encountered, although the scale was small, was indeed the beginning of a real rise, and it is still fresh in my memory.Without the complete victory of that battle, to unite the hearts of the soldiers and boost morale, I am afraid that I would not have the courage to send troops east to Taihang, let alone pursue the Khitan army alone."

"In this way, it's really meaningful and worth commemorating!" After listening to Emperor Liu talking about this past event, Concubine Gao naturally responded accordingly.

"I don't know if the battlefield is still there now, and the place where Shimage's body was shrouded should be paid homage to." Emperor Liu said.
