Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1279
At three o'clock in the morning, the gate of Dingding was wide open, and there was an endless stream of horses and chariots.

Empress Zheshi is about to leave Luoyang and head for Beiping Mansion under the escort of more than [-] Tianxiong soldiers.

The soldiers rested at home for more than half a year, during which they occasionally participated in military operations against Hedong, but they all ended quickly, so the soldiers were full and full of fighting spirit.

According to the latest defense area division of the Privy Council, among the Forbidden Army troops:
The station of the Iron Forest Army is Ruzhou.

Wuwei army stationed in Zhengzhou.

Tianxiong army stationed in Henan Province.

Yi Congjun's left wing was stationed in Henan Prefecture, and the right wing was stationed in Ruzhou.

The left side of General Tu is stationed in Shanzhou, and the right side is stationed in Guozhou.

The Tiande Army was stationed in Henan Province.

The left side of the Jinglue Army is stationed in Mengzhou, and the right side is stationed in Huaizhou.

No wonder he lost, even his wife lost to Jinshang.

"Ke Chengzhi enjoys it." Bei Ya Privy Councilor Cheng Zhi Du Hong also sat down, and said with a smile, "It's freezing cold, a bowl of soup cakes is good to drive away the cold. Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl too."

The business of selling restaurants suddenly became deserted.

"The officials will wait for a while, and I will cook it." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Yingzhou and Beiping Prefecture are both hotspots inside and outside the government and the field - who let the saint be in the northern capital?

Like Zhang Quanyi, he really worked hard enough, but he was not capable enough and his strength was not enough. In the end, the people suffered from it. Not only were every family overwhelmed by heavy taxes, but they also had to go to the battlefield to die.

In Luoyang City, there was not even a single imperial army, but nearly [-] palace guards and more than [-] Henan Fuzhou soldiers were stationed to control the outer city, imperial city, and palace city.

Sun Ru, Li Hanzhi, and Zhang Quanyi built fortifications in Luoyang City and attacked each other.

Du Hong stepped up his movements, finished pawing in two or two, wiped the corners of his mouth with the sleeve of his official uniform, and trotted to the front.

There are many such workshops in Ruzhou, and both officials and people like to use briquettes.And the cost of iron pots has dropped, the wider the sales, the more people use briquettes.

"Excuse me, gentlemen." The queen got out of the car with the help of the palace servants, and said back.

There are also briquettes.This is a new thing. It is said that it first appeared in Guanbei Xiazhou.After the Guanxi soldiers and civilians poured into Luoyang like a tide, they also brought this thing over.

It can be seen from the defense area that it is basically an area centered on Luoyang, and the control area is concise to deter foreign enemies.

He Kui was originally a general of the Forbidden Army, but retired after being injured, and was transferred to the commander of the Henan Fuzhou Army, responsible for street patrols in Luoyang and Henan counties.

At the west gate of Mingjiaofang, many people have already gathered.

"The queen can leave at ease, and the old man will take care of things in an orderly manner." Song Le said.

Song Le and the others watched the convoy leave Dingding Gate, and after exchanging pleasantries, they dispersed.

Every dynasty revolution will bring earth-shaking changes.The changes in the origin of the people in Luoyang have already explained everything.

"The official is wrong. My family is from Luoyang. When Sun Ru, Li Hanzhi, and Zhang Quanyi faced each other in Luoyang, my family was there." I have already moved into Luoyang City and lived under the city wall. Now I am in Luoyang, and my household is Qimin, and my family is located in Jiaqingfang in the southeast of the city. Now I do some small business to make ends meet."

"The officials don't know. The old Luoyang people have this accent. After entering Luoyang today, batches of Kansai people have flocked in. Today, more than [-]% of the people in the city moved in later. Our old Luoyang accent On the contrary, it has become a minority." The shopkeeper replied.

"Based on Ke Chengzhi, can Luoyang now have the grand scene of Chang'an in Tang Dazhong and Xiantong?" Du Hong asked while eating.

The peddler smiled and sprinkled some black charcoal powder into the stove to stir up the fire.The water in the pot was about to boil, and Ke Chengzhi, the Privy Council of Nanya, was too old to stand the wind and cold, so he couldn't help urging him to cook a bowl of soup cakes to eat. The charcoal powder was crushed from stones stolen from the coal mine Yes, the fire is quite strong when it burns.

In the first half of his life, he was in exile. Who would have thought that when he was about to enter the earth, the time would turn around. There is nothing more bizarre than this.

"How dare you not do your best!" Henan Yin Pei Tingyu said loudly, "I will definitely live up to the Queen's trust."

The two brothers of the Ke family didn't have any connections, but Jane was in the heart of the emperor, so she was transferred directly, and I don't know how many people I envy.

"This is the duty of ministers and others." The officials responded one after another.

"Officer, the soup cakes are here." The store brought up the steaming food.

Nowadays, all mid-level and lower-level officials who have some ideas are trying to find a way to transfer to Beiping Mansion, hoping to make meritorious service under the eyes of the saint, and then step up to the sky.

"Meet the queen." All civil and military officials saluted together.

Briquettes are fragile and difficult to transport.But thanks to the construction of the first-class national road, the post road is wide and gentle, and there is not so much crushed coal after transshipment, so this thing is prosperous.

Zhe Fangai looked at the other officials again, and said: "The sage was lucky to be in Beiping, and cut off the rebellious bandits and bandits. This is a major event in the chaos, so you can't be distracted for a moment. When you return from victory in another day, the master will return to the court, and all the ministers will have it." reward."

Du Hong suddenly realized, and laughed until tears came out.

Given the size of Luoyang City, such a small number of troops is certainly not enough.However, the offensive and defensive battles surrounding Luoyang mainly took place on the periphery.The loss of the outlying strongholds meant that the main force of the forbidden army had been destroyed. At this time, it was powerless to recover. It was important to run early, and don't even think about defending the city.

"It's all thanks to the empress's blessing." Ke Chong said with emotion, with a hint of joy in his brows.

"Chongdi's chariot is here." Someone whispered.

The eldest son, Ke Yu, was previously the master of the ninth rank in Liangu County, Linzhou, but this time he jumped a grade and became the magistrate of Tongding County in Yingzhou, which was lower than the seventh rank.

Du Hong knew that Ke Chong had climbed the queen's line and his position was very stable.

Du Hong also sighed, and said, "Why should Ke Chengzhi be sentimental? You are full of children and grandchildren, and no one else can envy you."

Ke Chong is a celebrity on the Five Elders List, and his life experience is too rich.What he said, Du Hongxin.

The Longxiang Army was stationed in Puzhou.

After such a toss, let alone Luoyang, there are not many people left in the whole Henan Mansion.Now the people in Henan Province are indeed all immigrants.

After the sage returned from his class in Peking, he wondered if he could see his true face.This is a fierce man who has pacified half of the world, how wise and mighty he must be?

"Yes. Live up to the great trust of the saint and the queen." Pei Tingyu didn't realize that the flattery was not in place, so he corrected immediately.

At the west gate of Mingjiaofang, Zhongshu's servant Song Le has been waiting for a long time.When he saw the Chongdi chariot the queen was riding in, he immediately checked his appearance, then got up, stood still by the side of the road, waited for a while, then bowed and saluted, "Meet the queen."

The Crane Control Army is stationed in Tangzhou.

In the city of Luoyang, every evening, every household burns coal stoves made of pottery and cooks a pot of corn and rice, which is simply delicious in the world.

"Your accent doesn't sound like a Luoyang person." Du Hong asked.

"Live up to the great trust of the saint." Zhe Fangai corrected.

He didn't care too much, sat down with a smile, and rested for a while.

On the other side, the Queen's convoy, under the protection of more than a thousand palace guards, joined the Tianxiong Army soldiers gathered outside the city.

Zhao Guanwen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, even made a song "Ode to Coal", which was widely sung, and the coal stove and coal balls gradually spread to other Daozhou.

Murong Fu was in charge of the guards of Ziwei City, Taiwei City, Shangyang City and various gates.

After finishing speaking, there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes, maybe he remembered his past youth.

"Queen, don't worry, we will do our best to prevent Xiao Xiao from succeeding." Wei Weiqing Murong Fu and Henan Fuzhou General He Kui said together.

"When I was in Chang'an in the past, some officials would buy Hu Bing on the road to eat when they were in court. I can't even take care of Shi impeachment." Ke Chong said with a smile after finishing his meal, his stooped body stretched out completely.

The briquettes in Luoyang are mainly purchased from two places: Huaizhou and Ruzhou, and there are some in Henan Province, but the output is small.

Then came the years-long tug-of-war between Xia and Liang around Luoyang.

Ke Chong was old and frail. Although he prepared for a long time, he was not as fast as Du Hong, who was born as a martial artist, and was blocked by the black crowd.

When Du Hong saw it, his tongue was full of saliva, and he didn't care about chatting at the moment, so he started to move.

The queen nodded, saluted everyone again, turned around and got in the car to leave.

"Then your accent..." Du Hong was puzzled.

There are more than one steaming food stalls set up.There are those who sell pork paste steamed cakes, sesame seed cakes, mutton cakes, and even soup cakes.

Only in the hands of such people can Luoyang prosper and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

"Song Shilang, General Murong, Yin Fu, General He, I entrust the affairs of the Eastern Capital to you all." Zhe Fangai saluted the two alone again, and said.

Today I saw the queen's real face from a distance, she is really a fairy-like figure, enough to go back and brag with others for half a lifetime.

From time to time, green-robed and purple-robed officials ran over, and they didn't think it was ugly. They bought steaming pancakes and ate them immediately.

It was still very dark.

In response, Ke Chong grinned almost in sleep.

The Huangchao Rebellion hit Luoyang hard.

"Especially." Ke Chong said: "I will be running around in Chang'an. It's not a big deal, just wandering around and making friends with others on the way to study. Fortunately, I have witnessed several grand occasions from afar. Let's put it this way, today I will During the time of Luoyang, there was a great court meeting every month, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together. Cars and horses gathered in the north and south of the Tianjin Bridge. Call friends, be energetic, so lively."

The second son, Ke Man, was transferred to Liangxiang County, Beiping Prefecture.This is Ji County, the county lieutenant is under the ninth rank, and the starting point is also very good.

Zang Dubao, the military envoy of the Tianxiong Army, took over the command of the entire convoy in front of Yuyin, and led the [-] cavalry led by Hou Niu Li of Duyu as the vanguard, heading east along the Luoshui River towards Yanshi County.

On the first-class national road, all the business travelers and horses gave way to the reserved road.

Everyone looked at the majestic convoy with awe: Tianjia is so majestic that Sisi.

The dispatch of the Tianxiong Army also made everyone realize that a new round of conquest had begun.
