Chapter 349 Winter Northern Tour
"Take out that jacket, too, and bring it to the officials." Inside the Kunming Palace, a big talisman propped up his back and raised his hand to help the palace servants tidy up, his face full of interest.

Liu Chengyou sat aside, holding a steaming teacup in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and looking at his queen: "There is no need to bother, all the envoys have prepared for the things that will be used by the emperor going north. During this northern tour, It's not about going out for pleasure, everything is simple, and there is no need for complicated things."

"It's already winter, the world is bleak and cold, and it invades the flesh and penetrates the body. I don't care about the rest, but this jacket must be brought." Da Fu took a white velvet jacket from the maid and handed it to Liu Chengyou himself. .

Liu Chengyou took it and touched it. It was very comfortable to the touch, and the materials and workmanship were quite exquisite.The beautiful maid beside the side, Yu Yu, who has been following the big talisman for a long time, couldn't help interjecting: "This lady spent nearly half a year sewing it for the official family by herself. Every stitch and thread, every thread, is all condensed. The lady's heart."

The female servant, with a bit of resentment in her tone, looked at Liu Chengyou with a faint resentment.She came from the Fu family as a dowry, so of course she had certain expectations at the beginning, but it has been almost two years, and Liu Chengyou has never touched her, as if he has no interest in her at all.
In fact, it was exactly like this, Liu Chengyou really didn't pay much attention to it.

"Talk!" Big Fu Liu raised his eyebrows slightly and reprimanded lightly, but there was a little pride and contentment in the jade face.

Pulling the queen to sit beside him, hugging her waist, stroking her abdomen, and said in a very gentle tone: "You are inconvenient, why should you do these mundane tasks yourself?"

The jacket has already been made, and Liu Chengyou's words are more like comforting, and expressing his recognition and praise for her hard work.Dafu obviously felt it, and the soft color in the water-like eyes became more and more moving.

Although it was winter and the weather was cold, Liu Chengyou was so quiet that he came up with the idea of ​​a northern tour. With his thoughts together, he couldn't hold back. At the Lidong Dynasty meeting, he announced the decision of the northern tour.

Choosing such a season to go north is obviously not for sightseeing, but for a strong political purpose.One is that in the past two years, disasters have continued in Hebei provinces, and the people have suffered a lot. Liu Chengyou went north with the respect of the emperor, intending to comfort the soldiers and the people, and to appease the hearts of the soldiers.The scholars and people in Hebei need to bathe in the majesty and grace of Emperor Qianyou nearby.

Second, the strategy of the Southern Expedition is set, but the North cannot ignore it, and even the North is more important than the South.If there can't be a safe enough rear environment, how can Liu Chengyou focus on the south.

Regarding matters in the north, the first thing is Khitan. For the grassland overlord, Liu Chengyou has nothing to do for the time being, and can't exert any influence, but for the interior, it can be sorted out and adjusted, especially the northern frontier defense needs to be readjusted.

The border defense arrangement of the Han Dynasty in Hebei was established before Liu Chengyou went south, and it was relatively rough at that time. Given the current situation, it is necessary to do some major rectification and reinforcement in preparation for going south.

Liu Chengyou's plan is to rebuild a strong enough line of defense in the next two years.However, Liu Chengyou still needs to go north to inspect the military situation in Hebei, especially in Chengde and Henghai, before making a decision.

Liu Chengyou lost his mind as he said that, Dafu didn't take it seriously when he saw this, he just sat quietly beside him, waiting silently, not to disturb him.

Until Liu Chengyou came back to his senses, noticed this, gave Dafu an apologetic look, immediately raised his hand, rubbed his face, and sighed: "The world has been fighting hard for a long time, and I am committed to ending the war and resting with the people. In the United States, there are endless disasters, especially in Hebei. Therefore, in order to reassure people's hearts and invigorate people's spirits, I will do my best to do winter tours."

This is Liu Chengyou taking the initiative to explain his actions to Dafu. For Dafu, this kind of favor is more important than you and me, who are constantly rewarded.

"Erlang's mind is on the world, and he has the whole world in his heart, I understand." Dafu expressed his understanding and support to Liu Chengyou with a virtuous appearance.There was no objective situation to dissuade Liu Chengyou based on objective conditions such as bad weather and difficult roads.What I said more was just admonishing Liu Chengyou, take care of your health, be careful of getting cold, etc.
"It's just that I can't go north with Erlang, and I will accompany you." As he said, Da Fu's tone was tinged with regret.

"There will be a chance in the future!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said warmly, shaking his hand: "You are in Tokyo, so you can give birth to a baby, and greet the Queen Mother every day for me!"

"Yes!" The big talisman responded, and the jade hand subconsciously stroked her protruding belly, with a maternal instinct between her brows, showing a little caution.

"Yeah." After pondering for a while, Da Fu looked at Liu Chengyou and suggested: "Erlang, go here, and bring the wife of the Zhe family so that she can serve you."

Surprised by hearing this, Liu Chengyou tilted his head to look at the queen, his reasonable face showed calmness.The look of surprise flickered on his face for a moment, and then disappeared. He didn't say much, just pressed her hand.

After Liu Chengyou left, Dafu's expression changed slightly. The maid next to her opened her mouth to speak, but she stopped her with a raised hand. Thinking about the conversation just now, the corner of her mouth curled up in a confident arc.

After leaving the Kunming Hall, the servants led the way and accompanied by the guards, Liu Chengyou strolled between the palace rooms, his usually serious face became much more relaxed.Regardless of whether it came from the heart or not, the Fu family does have the bearing and knowledge of the world, which makes Liu Chengyou very satisfied.As for his occasional jealousy, it didn't arouse his impatience. Instead, it made him feel real, intelligent and virtuous, knowing how to advance and retreat, and being able to understand the general situation. It is rare to be able to achieve such a level. Fu Yanqing has really cultivated A good girl.

"Officials, should we go back to Chongzheng Palace, or?" Seeing Liu Chengyou's aimless appearance, Zhang Dejun, who is now almost inseparable from Liu Chengyou, took the initiative to ask for instructions.

As soon as his footsteps stopped, Liu Chengyou looked around and ordered: "Go to Concubine Gao!"

"Yes!" Zhang Dejun immediately ordered to change lanes and lead the way.

Before going north, the empress had stayed here before, so one could not favor one over another, and the imperial concubine had to go there too.After the death of the empress and concubine, it can represent the two families of Fu and Gao, and the two townships, and the two old father-in-laws still give the court a lot of support in guarding the place. Liu Chengyou doesn't want to spread anything wrong from the palace. good gossip.

In the winter of the second year of Qianyou, October Wuyin (the ninth day of the lunar new year), Liu Chengyou drove out of Tokyo to inspect the north.

In this tour, we strive for efficiency and keep things simple.Everything reveals Liu Chengyou's simple style, except for Xianfei Zheshi and a small number of necessary attendants, no other people are brought along.

Among the courtiers, the prime ministers Yang Bin and Li Tao, together with the deputy privy envoy Wang Jun, and Liu Chengyou led people, all targeted.As for the guarding army, only [-] cavalry were selected from the iron cavalry army in front of the palace. Rising stars in the forbidden army such as Gao Huaide, Zhao Yanjin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhang Yongde were able to accompany them, and Murong, who returned to Beijing as the commander of the Longqi Army Yanzhao is deployed for the camp.
