I found that the carriage was going back along the road that took me to Weiying two or three days ago. When the familiar city in the distance appeared in front of me, I held the curtain and watched for a long time.
The reason why I survived back then was because of my aunt and grandmother, Empress Dowager Liu. Perhaps my father had expected it a long time ago. He sent me to the palace the day before in the name of accompanying the Queen Mother. When Tingwei came, the Queen Mother ordered people to lock the palace door, and scolded the people who came to the door, including the first Emperor and Queen Bian, through the wall. Bloody head.
After all, the first emperor was a dutiful son, and he never came to arrest anyone. But God has not always been kind to me. When I was fifteen, the Empress Dowager passed away.
Queen Bian continued her revenge.
Before Empress Dowager Liu passed away, she asked the late emperor to marry me to a good family, and the late emperor agreed. I did marry into a nice family too. Although the Han family in Laiyang is far away from Chang'an, they are considered a well-known family here, and the head of the family is still the head of a county.
However, my husband Han Guang is a fool.
He's dumb and goofy and loves to giggle. When others talk to him, he has to say it several times before he understands that others are talking to him, and he will never answer a sentence. This marriage was given by the enemy, of course I will not be happy, but I don't hate this husband.
He treats me well, every morning when I wake up, he looks at me with a smirk, and says vaguely and intermittently that every time I wake up, I'm going to make a fuss.
I don't know what happened to him. After all, we have lived together for a few years. It would be a lie to say that we have no affection, but in this troubled world, neither of us has a choice, just like when I was forced to leave Chang'an to marry Laiyang.
I heard that after I arrived at Weiying, Wei Aimei died and died.
In that city, the only change is probably that the stupid second son of the Han family lost his wife.

In the next few days of the journey, I have a deep understanding. Cheng Mao led a team of 300 people, traveling and lodging were all important matters. But he never bothered any family. He used bad food for food and slept in the open for rest, and he never let the horses of his soldiers ruin the farmland. Compared with the bad habits of some warlords who wandered across the border and plundered, Wei Wei's plan to smuggle and plunder Yan Yan
Of course, in this chaotic world, it's not that you can be safe and sound.
When approaching the boundary of Yongzhou, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out from the hillsides on both sides, there were two hundred people. The leader shouted: "Leave the chariots, horses and luggage, Rao Er will not die!"
Cheng Mao was furious and ordered to prepare for the battle. All the soldiers immediately surrounded the chariots and horses and formed a formation.
Although those people came in a fierce manner, it could be seen that they were a group of mobs with simple weapons and only knew how to charge. I saw Cheng Mao rushing out of the formation with a yell, raising his knife and dropping it, the leader had already been chopped off by his horse.
The rest of the people saw that the momentum was not good, so they wanted to disperse. Cheng Mao ordered his guns to shoot arrows, and there were screams all over the place for a while;
"I am under the command of Prime Minister Wei, Cheng Mao, Marquis of Dazhuan Moting!" Cheng Mao shouted loudly as he rode out. I didn't hear his shouting clearly, because I was a little surprised when I heard his registration number.
Terrible, I thought to myself, now that a small subordinate general can be named a Tinghou, the Emperor Wei Zuohuang will finally be stingy!
Cheng Mao was still yelling, saying that the emperor will make his capital in Yongzhou, and that they should submit to the imperial court. Those rogues have been captured, and all the remaining strength is used to promise or beg for mercy. Seeing that they obeyed, Cheng Mao asked the sergeant to tie them up with ropes and escort them with him.
"I'm not talented, I'll scare my wife." After the incident, Cheng got off his horse and came to my car, bowing and apologizing.
Just now, after all, real swords and guns are in front of his eyes, and it would be a lie to say that he is not afraid. Through the curtain, I forced myself to calm down and said, "General, why blame yourself? If there is no general, my life will be over."
Cheng Mao said: "There is a cottage in front of you, please be patient, madam, and you will be able to rest soon."
I nodded: "Thank you, General."
Cheng Mao bowed and retreated. Not long after, the chariots and horses began to walk again.
There were more than a hundred more prisoners out of thin air, and the team was a bit difficult to walk. However, Cheng Mao obviously estimated well, because there was a flat road ahead, and it was unlikely that they would be attacked by anyone again.
In less than ten miles, as Cheng Mao said, there are indeed cottages. Cheng Mao ordered the sergeant to guard the prisoners and ordered the team to stop and rest. But not long after they stopped, they found that many people came out from the cottage and surrounded them.
Shocked, Cheng Mao hurriedly ordered the sergeant to be on alert, and sent someone to question him.
It turned out to be a false alarm. These villagers came here to express their thanks because they heard that the team had captured the bandits who were doing evil nearby.
"Since the turmoil in Chang'an, bandits gathered in the nearby mountains and forests, looting passers-by and harassing the countryside. It is unbearable to disturb. Now the general is sweeping away the bandits, which is really a blessing to our people." The village elder thanked Cheng Mao with a salute.
Cheng Mao helped the village elder up, and said: "We are under the command of Prime Minister Wei. Today, the capital will be established, and the country will be stable. We will wipe out the rebels from all directions and protect the people's well-being."
When these words came out, all the villagers praised them, and they offered food and wine to reward the soldiers, but Cheng Mao declined politely.
I sat in the car for a long time, and waited until the villagers scattered in a hurry, and then I came down from the car mountain to exercise my muscles and bones.
"Ma'am." Cheng Mao was stunned when he saw me coming out, and stepped forward to salute.
"I'll just get out of the car to breathe, the general doesn't need to be polite." I smiled.
Cheng Mao nodded, looked around, ordered someone to wipe clean the stone slab under a nearby tree, and asked me to sit down there.
"How will the general deal with those people?" I asked.
"The former convenience is Cheshire in Yongzhou, and it's handed over to the sheriff." Cheng Mao replied.
I looked at him and smiled: "Every time the general encounters rogues, will he arrest his entourage to show off to the villagers?"
Cheng Mao was stunned for a moment, his eyes brightened.
"It's not like this every time." His face remained unchanged, "If you encounter a dangerous place, you can't take the captive with you. In order to prevent them from continuing to do evil, they have to be killed on the spot."
"This is what the eldest son said, do evil to hide, and do good to leave a name." After finishing, he added.
I was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "That's it."
Cheng Mao stopped talking, bowed to me, turned and walked away.
After handing over the captives to the sheriff of Cheshire, Cheng Mao escorted his chariot and formally entered Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is close to Luoyang and has been a prosperous place since ancient times. There is also a palace for the emperor in the city. As for why the emperor established Yongzhou as his capital, we have to start from the beginning of this troubled time.

When the first emperor was alive, the matter of establishing an heir had already stirred up excitement in the court. The line headed by my aunt Empress Dowager Liu belonged to the emperor's eldest son, Chen, while the former emperor favored the emperor's son, Zhen, who was born to Empress Bian. Empress Bian was born in a powerful family. Over the years, the Bian family has won over a large number of courtiers. Empress Bian's elder brother, Bian Wei, was even appointed as the chief minister by the late emperor.
At the end of the year when I married away, the first emperor passed away suddenly. The Fu family has been exterminated, the Empress Dowager Liu has passed away, and there will be no more scruples after Bian. She took out the last emperor's edict, made Prince Zhen the new emperor, and made Prince Chen the King of Hejian.
Abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, the late emperor's edict seems to have come out of thin air, and there are many discussions in the court. On the day of ascension to the throne, Yu Shi Wang Rong was the first to attack in the court, and the great Sima Bianwei beheaded Wang Rong under the sword in a rage.
Blood spattered in the court, a stone may cause a thousand waves. Prince Chen's biological mother, Empress Gao's elder brother, Jinwu Gaomi led an army of five thousand to surround the palace ban and Da Sima's mansion. In desperation, Bian Wei sent someone to sneak out of Chang'an with a letter of amulet, and in the name of the emperor, he ordered He Kui, the Liangzhou shepherd who was destroying the demons in Longxi, to enter Chang'an to escort him.
He Kui's location is only 700 miles away from Chang'an. After he got the order, he led 50,000 Liangzhou soldiers to Chang'an within a few days. After three days of bloody battle between the army and the imperial guards of the capital, He Kui rushed into Chang'an. At that time, Grand Sima Bian Wei had been killed by Gao Mi, Empress Bian died, and Chang'an fell into the hands of He Kui. He Kui was cruel and unkind, and after winning Chang'an, he proclaimed himself Grand Master. He stayed in the inner palace every day, and brought the new emperor to court, and all the officials were slaughtered to death if they spoke a little.
The imperial court was in dire straits. At this time, Bingzhou Mu Zhongyuan claimed that there was an edict from the emperor to seek rebellion, and he first denounced He in the name of loyalty.
He Kui was furious when he heard the news, and immediately deposed the emperor, and made the king of Hejian the new emperor. Then, he burned the palace to the ground and forced the emperor to move his capital to Luoyang.
This move was like adding fuel to the fire, and the call to action spread to hundreds of counties every day, and soldiers and horses from all over the country responded to Zhong Yuan one after another, forming an alliance and merging the prefectures.
Although He Kui is fierce, he is no more than the bravery of Liangzhou. A few months later, Luoyang was captured by rebels. But at this time, the emperor is no longer the only one who can order the heroes and soldiers, so the scuffle between the big and small warlords officially began. The city gate caught fire, which affected the fish in the pond, and the palace in Luoyang was also wiped out.
The emperor fled everywhere until he met Wei Wei muscle
In fact, in my eyes, outside of Chang'an, other places in the world, even if they look like fairyland, I regard it as countryside. So when the chariots and horses galloped majestically into the territory of Yongdu under the guidance of Cheng Mao, my mind was not on viewing the scenery at all.
I was thinking about meeting the members of the Wei clan after entering the city.
