The prince set out from Luoyang, and Xun Yu followed him personally. There was also Changshui Camp of the Northern Army, a whole battalion, responsible for protecting the prince when he went to Hezhou. The captain of this battalion was Zhang Ji, an old man from the Southern Army. Zhang Ji was the first to enter.
One of the soldiers of the Confederate Army, he later became a general of the Confederate Army because of his bravery. He started from the lowest level, and after several promotions, he became the captain of the Changshui Camp of the Northern Army.
After the emperor entrusted him with the important task of protecting the prince, Zhang Ji was very happy. He had not waited for the opportunity to perform meritorious service for a long time. Being able to get close to the prince this time was also a very important opportunity for him.
He wished he could encounter something on the road, so that he could make meritorious deeds and get closer to the prince.
He was ready to march and waited at the main gate of Luoyang.
After the prince arrived, Zhang Ji quickly stepped forward to salute, raised his hands and said, "Zhang Ji, the captain of Changshuiying School of the Northern Army, pays homage to your highness!"
The little fat man smiled gently, helped him up, and asked kindly: "I'm going to trouble the general this time..."
Zhang Ji was so excited that he was speechless and said in fear: "I don't dare!"
"Hahaha, come, Mr. Zhang, this is my master, Jia Yilang, you can pay me a visit..." The little fat man pointed to a scribe next to him and introduced, Jia Xu was a little helpless, he
It can be said that people are sitting at home... Alas, these have nothing to do with him. I didn't expect that the emperor would not let the little fat man go out alone, even if Xun Yu followed him. This future Wang Zuo is now simply a king!
Only with the wily and scheming Jia Xu by his side can the emperor rest assured. After all, he feels that no one can murder this guy. This guy's cherishment of life has reached an unimaginable level. With him by the prince's side, he will definitely not
Something went wrong.
The queen and queen mother were reluctant to leave the prince like this, but the emperor had an edict, so they had no choice but to give them instructions in every possible way. During the prince's trip, various places along the way had received edicts, and they must pay attention to them.
After leaving the city to meet him, the little fat man was not in a hurry to rush to Hezhou. He stopped and stopped along the way, visiting the people and asking officials about political affairs. With Jia Xu's help, he also made clear rewards and punishments.
Originally, the little fat man won the hearts of the people because of his trip to the north to provide disaster relief. After hearing that the prince was going to personally go to the most severely affected areas to provide disaster relief, these people felt particularly grateful to the emperor and the prince. The little fat man also gained a lot of popularity among the people.
With his shallow fame, he was known as the benevolent prince, and his actions along the way deepened his image of benevolence in the hearts of the people.
When the carriage arrived at the Hejian Kingdom, several people suddenly stopped in front of the carriage. This move shocked Zhang Ji, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to surround these people. After seeing these vicious cavalry, these people
There was no panic or panic. The leader walked forward somewhat calmly, cupped his hands and said, "We are here to pay homage to the young master!"
Zhang Ji personally drove his horse forward, came to these people, and asked: "Who are you? How dare you come to block the carriage?"
"We have come to see you, young gentleman, and I hope you will not stop us."
Zhang Ji found that these people spoke very unusually and were somewhat arrogant. They seemed to look down upon him and showed no fear at all. Zhang Ji frowned and asked: "Who are you, young gentleman?"
"
The leader cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Huh?" Zhang Ji was shocked and without saying much, he rode back to the side of the prince's carriage and said with some respect: "Your Highness, there are a few people in front of you who claim to be the prince's followers and want to pay their respects to the young master.
.”
"oh?"
The little fat man was a little surprised, so he asked his servants to help him out of the carriage, and then walked forward. When he reached the front, the common people were waiting. When they saw the little fat man, they were shocked and bowed quickly, saying "Your Majesty." This is amazing.
The little fat man was frightened and his eyes were wide open. Zhang Ji also pulled out the long sword from his waist in fear. Those people calmed down and quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, forgive me. We are the citizens of Jiedu Pavilion and have received His Majesty's kindness. Today, when we see the Crown Prince, we are the same as His Majesty when we were young, so we made a slip of the tongue..."
After hearing their explanation, the little fat man reacted, laughed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up. Although they had never met, for some reason, the little fat man felt close to them in his heart. Their family was trying to figure it out.
Duting has been through three generations and has the closest relationship with these people.
As the eldest son of the emperor, the little fat man had never been here before, but seeing these villagers who had accompanied his father and even his grandfather, he still felt a sense of closeness and affection in his heart.
He talked gently with these people, and these people also warmly invited the prince to Jiedu Pavilion.
The prince agreed, and a large number of carriages rushed to Jiedu Pavilion.
The carriage had just approached the Jiedu Pavilion. Right in front, there was a group of people waiting. They saw two people supporting an old man. The old man looked extremely old. He had to be supported to stand. His face was filled with tears.
His eyes were wrinkled and he couldn't open his eyes. The little fat man glanced at them from a distance, then immediately jumped down from the carriage and walked quickly in front of them.
Looking at the old man in front of him, he said gently: "How can I argue? How dare you teach me to wait here!"
The old man didn't reply, but just stood there blankly. Someone shouted in his ear: "Mr. Liu, the Crown Prince is here to see you!"
"Prince?"
"Shaojun... Shaojun's son!"
"Young Master's son..." The old man's expression became a little excited. He trembled and stretched out his hand to touch. The little fat man took a step forward. The old man held the little fat man's shoulders rudely and gently
After stroking it gently for a moment, he suddenly grinned and said with a dry smile: "It's true, Shaojun is back!"
"Shaojun is back. Shaojun, did you come to play by the river?"
The little fat man's heart trembled, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something. He raised his head and looked at the house slave beside him. The man paid homage to His Royal Highness, and then said: "This man was your Majesty's steward in the past, and he has taken care of him since he was a child.
Your Majesty’s daily life has lasted for four generations..."
The old man was still groping, smiling silly. He was really too old, over ninety, and he couldn't remember many things. He only remembered the chubby young gentleman and his repeated crying.
Wanting to go to the river to play, the little fat man stretched out his hand, gently held his hand, and whispered: "Yeah, I want to go to the river to play..."
"Okay, okay, young gentleman, don't worry, I won't tell the mistress...someone is coming...to set up the bicycle frame, young gentleman is going to play by the river..." the old man ordered tremblingly.
Several people around looked at the little fat man helplessly, and the little fat man said sternly: "You still don't do it!"
Zhang Ji and the local people quickly got busy and worked together to move the old man into the car. The little fat man also got on the car, and the car slowly walked towards the river.
It's March, spring is just right
On a winding official road, a group of people and horses advanced slowly.
