"Take out that jacket and bring it to the officials..." In the Kunming Palace, the big talisman held up his back and stretched out his belly, raising his hand to encourage the palace people to clean it up, his face full of interest.
Liu Chengyou sat aside, holding a steaming teacup in his hand. He took a sip from time to time and looked at his queen: "No need to go to such trouble. All the envoys have prepared everything for the royal family to go north. On this northern tour, It’s not about traveling for fun, keep everything simple and don’t need complicated things..."
"Winter has already entered, and the sky and earth are desolate and cold, penetrating my skin and body. I don't care about anything else, but you must bring this jacket." Da Fu took a white velvet jacket from the hand of the waitress and handed it to Liu Chengyou himself. .
Liu Chengyou took it and touched it. It felt very comfortable and the materials and workmanship were quite exquisite. The beautiful maid next to him, who had been following Dafu for a long time, couldn't help but interjected: "This lady has spent nearly half a year on this." , sewn by hand for the official family, every stitch, every stitch, every fiber, all embodies the lady’s heart..."
The female maid had a bit of resentment in her tone, and she looked at Liu Chengyou with a hint of resentment. She came from the Fu family as a dowry, and of course she had certain expectations at first, but they were almost fulfilled. For two years, Liu Chengyou didn't even touch her, and seemed to have no interest in her at all...
In fact, it was exactly like this. Liu Chengyou really didn't pay much attention to it.
"Talking too much!" Da Fu Liu frowned slightly and scolded him, but there was a hint of pride and satisfaction in his jade face.
He pulled the queen to sit next to him, hugged her waist, caressed her belly, and said in a very gentle tone: "You are inconvenient, why do you have to do these mundane tasks yourself?"
The coat has already been made. Liu Chengyou's words are more like comfort, and he acknowledges and praises her hard work. Dafu obviously felt that the soft and graceful look in his beautiful eyes became more and more moving. .
Although it was winter and the weather was cold, Liu Chengyou was still very restless and thought about the Northern Patrol. With his thoughts in mind, he couldn't hold back anymore. At the Beginning of Winter Meeting, he announced the decision of the Northern Patrol.
Choosing such a season to go north was obviously not for sightseeing, but had a strong political purpose. First, in the past two years, disasters have continued in the prefectures of Hebei, and the people have suffered greatly. Liu Chengyou, with the dignity of the emperor, went north to comfort him. The soldiers and people should appease the morale of the soldiers and the people. The soldiers and people of Hebei need to bathe in the majesty and grace of Emperor Qianyou nearby.
Secondly, the strategy of the southern expedition was decided, but the north could not be ignored. In fact, the north was more important than the south. If there was not a sufficiently secure rear environment, how could Liu Chengyou focus on the south.
Regarding matters in the north, the Khitan is the first to deal with it. Liu Chengyou has no way to deal with the grassland overlord for the time being and cannot exert any influence. However, he can make adjustments to the internal affairs, especially the northern border defenses that need to be readjusted.
The border defense layout of the Han Dynasty in Hebei was established before Liu Chengyou went south. It was relatively rough at that time. Under the current situation, it needs to be greatly improved and strengthened in preparation for going south.
Liu Chengyou's plan is to rebuild a strong enough defense line in the next two years. However, the specifics require Liu Chengyou to go north and conduct an on-site inspection of the military situation in Hebei, especially Chengde, and across the sea, before making a decision.
Liu Chengyou was distracted as he spoke. Seeing this, Da Fu didn't take it seriously and just sat quietly beside him, waiting silently without disturbing him.
Until Liu Chengyou came back to his senses, noticed this, gave Da Fu an apologetic look, then raised his hand to rub his face, and sighed: "The world has been fighting hard for a long time. I am committed to killing the troops, stopping the war, and resting with the people, but God doesn't do it." The United States is suffering from constant disasters, and Hebei Province has been hit particularly hard. Therefore, in order to reassure people and boost their morale, I will do my best to carry out the winter patrol."
This is Liu Chengyou taking the initiative to explain his actions to Da Fu. This kind of favor is more important to Da Fu than the constant rewards of you and me.
"Erlang cares about the world and has a broad mind. I understand." Dafu looked virtuous and expressed his understanding and support for Liu Chengyou. He did not use objective circumstances such as bad weather and difficult roads to dissuade Liu Chengyou. Say more. If so, they are just words of concern such as telling Liu Chengyou to take care of yourself and be careful of getting cold...
"It's just that I can't follow Erlang north, and I'll be driving beside him." As he said that, there was a little regret in Da Fu's tone.
"There will be a chance in the future!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said warmly and shook his hand: "You are in Tokyo, good at giving birth and raising children, and greet the Queen Mother for me every day!"
"Yes!" Dafu responded, Yu's hand subconsciously touched her bulging belly, her brows exuded a motherly look, showing a little caution.
"Hmm..." After pondering for a while, Dafu looked at Liu Chengyou and suggested: "When Erlang goes, take the wife of the Zhe family with him so that he can serve you."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was surprised. Liu Chengyou turned his head and looked at the queen. His reasonable face was full of calmness. The look of surprise only flickered on his face for a moment and then disappeared. He didn't say anything more and just pressed her hand. .
After Liu Chengyou left, Da Fu's expression became somewhat restrained. The female maid next to him opened her mouth to speak, but she raised her hand to stop her. Thinking of the conversation just now, the corner of her mouth curved slightly with confidence.
After leaving Kunming Hall, the servants led the way and the guards followed. Liu Chengyou walked leisurely between the palace rooms. His face, which had always been solemn, became surprisingly relaxed. Whether it was sincere or not, Mrs. Fu did have the magnanimity and insight of a mother who cared about the world. Liu Chengyou was satisfied. As for his occasional jealousy, it did not arouse his impatience. Instead, it made him feel that he was real, smart and virtuous, knew how to advance and retreat, and could understand the general situation. It was rare to be able to do this. Fu Yanqing really of training a good girl.
"Officials, are you going back to Chongzheng Palace, or are you?" Seeing Liu Chengyou's aimless look, Zhang Dejun, who was 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, I had stayed with the Queen, so I couldn't treat one favorably. I had to go to the Imperial Concubine as well. The Empress, behind the Imperial Concubine, represented the Fu and Gao families, and the two Fangjie towns, while the two father-in-laws were guarding the place. In order to provide the imperial court with considerable support, Liu Chengyou did not want any bad rumors to spread from the palace.
On the ninth day of the tenth month of the winter of the second year of Qianyou (the ninth day of the Lunar New Year), Liu Chengyou drove out of Tokyo and went north for inspection.
During this inspection, we strived for efficiency and kept the tour simple. Everything reflected Liu Chengyou's simplicity. Except for the concubine Zhe and a small number of necessary waiters, he did not bring anyone else with him.
Among the courtiers, the prime ministers Yang Bing and Li Tao, together with the deputy privy envoy Wang Jun, and Liu Chengyou led the people, were all targeted. As for the escort army, only 3,000 cavalry were selected from the cavalry army in front of the palace. Rising stars such as Gao Huaide, Zhao Yanjin, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde were able to accompany him, and Murong Yanzhao, who returned to Beijing to serve as the commander of the Longqi military capital, was deployed as the camp capital.
