Chapter 802
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Ten days later, the day to set out for Chang'an was approaching. The Han Palace became busy early in the morning. Dozens of carriages loaded with supplies lined up in front of the mansion. Tao Zhan had her own considerations because the capital would be moved to Chang'an this fall. Instead of being busy and chaotic at that time, it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Chang'an and move some of the goods first.
Everyone in the mansion was packing up their last belongings, everyone was extremely busy, and the whole palace seemed in chaos. At this time, Liu Jing rode a horse from the government office under the escort of a team of personal soldiers. These days, he also explained the government affairs one by one, and sent people to Chang'an in time for approval.
"Have the princess been packed?" Liu Jing turned over and dismounted and asked the housekeeper who came to meet him.
"Reporting to Your Highness, it should be almost the same. The princess said that if Your Highness comes back, please go to the inner study."
"I understand." Liu Jing quickly walked towards the inner house.
In the inner study, Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang were packing books and packing them. There were many important books in Liu Jing's inner study. Except for him, the others could only be Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang could enter to clean up. They put the last dozen books into a special wooden box as Liu Jing ordered. The house was filled with twenty wooden boxes, all of which were book charts and important books.
At this time, Liu Jing walked into the room and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, two virtuous wives."
Sun Shangxiang gave him a blank look and ignored him. Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Look at yourself, what else should I take away? If not, I will let the soldiers move into the car. Now you are the only one who has not moved here yet, everything else is fine."
Liu Jing looked around the room and smiled and said, "It's very well packed and can be moved away."
Tao Zhan quickly greeted the personal soldiers waiting outside. Dozens of personal soldiers entered the house, each of whom moved quickly and quickly moved out more than 20 wooden boxes. At this time, Tao Zhan said again: "Okay, the matter here is over. I'll go and ask the children to get in the car."
She glanced at Sun Shangxiang, smiled, and left quickly. Sun Shangxiang was about to go out, but Liu Jing grabbed her hand and pulled her down. Sun Shangxiang said angrily: "I want to pack up too, what are you pulling me to do?"
Sun Shangxiang's mother, Mrs. Wu, could not survive the illness and died a month ago. Although Sun Shangxiang could not go back to attend the funeral, she had to mourn her mother for at least half a year. She had been depressed during this period.
Liu Jing knew that she was in a bad mood and was not angry. He asked again with a smile: "I'll ask you, why have you ignored me these days?"
"How dare I ignore you? Are you talking to you now?" Sun Shangxiang's face was as deep as water, and there was no smile on her face.
Liu Jing said softly again: "This time I go to Chang'an, I may have to stay for more than a month, and I have to bring all the things, especially the things for children."
"I know, what else"
Liu Jing looked at her for a moment, and when he saw her face was cold frost, he suddenly realized that Shang Xiang was not in a bad mood because of her mother's death, but because of Xiao Qiao. He had to sigh helplessly, "Okay, we're ready to go."
Sun Shangxiang ignored him, turned around and walked towards the yard. Liu Jing looked at her quickly walking away, and couldn't help but have a headache. Once it angered Sun Shangxiang, her fierce attack would take no time to recover.
Liu Jing shook his head and walked quickly outside the gate
Sun Shangxiang returned to his yard, and the wet nurse was holding her son Liu Long and was waiting in the yard. When the little guy saw his mother come back, he quickly opened his hands to hold her, and he was babbling in his mouth. He was eight months old and white and fat, which was the cutest time.
Sun Shangxiang took Er lovely and put her face on Er's little face. This is her treasure and her life. If it weren't for her, she would have returned to Jiangdong in anger.
At this time, Xiao Qiao brought a package out of the small building and smiled and said, "My things are the simplest. One package is enough, not as many bottles and jars as you."
Sun Shangxiang's face immediately turned clear. She was just angry with her husband and still had a deep friendship with Xiao Qiao. She was embarrassed to smile: "It seems that there are not many things in normal times, but my elder sister said to move some of them away first, but she found that there are so many things that I was so scary. I don't know what to do with my precious weapons."
"Will move slowly in the future, who dares to steal your things?"
Xiao Qiao smiled, "When I was in Jiangdong before, I remember you had to go to the weapon room every day, and stayed there for a long time, but this time I have been here for almost two months, but I have never seen you go to the weapon room once. Your maid said that those weapons have become a burden to you."
"It's because of this little guy, after giving birth to him, I've lost all my interests and hobbies, and I've been circling around him all day long."
Sun Shangxiang gently pinched her face and smiled and said, "You little thing hurt your mother, do you know?"
At this time, the housekeeper quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard and bowed: "Second Madam, the time for departure is coming."
"I understand, where is the princess, has she gone out?"
"Everyone has gone out, just wait for the second wife."
Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "It seems that we are dragging us down, let's go."
The wet nurse had held the baby, and more than a dozen maids came out in a row with their bags. Sun Shangxiang walked to the end with Xiao Qiao's hand and said with a smile: "I've only been here for two months, and I'm going to make you run again."
"I don't care. Just follow the situation. But if you think I'm annoyed, I will go back to Jiangdong tomorrow."
Although Sun Shangxiang was angry with Liu Jing, she also knew that no matter how angry she was, she could not really drive Xiao Qiao away. She held Xiao Qiao's hand tightly and smiled: "Since you entered my door, it's not that easy to leave. Follow me obediently, don't even want to escape from my palm."
Xiao Qiao was sensitive and heard something in Sun Shangxiang's words. Her face turned slightly red. She thought that Liu Jing seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself, and she suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Outside the gate, dozens of carriages had already been parked at the gate. Jia Xu, his family, Zhao Yun's family, Zhang Ren's family, Fa Zheng's family, etc., the families of a squad of senior officials in Chang'an were all accompanying him to Guanzhong. Together with their luggage carriages, this time, there were several carriages and tens of thousands of soldiers guarding him.
Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Qiao left the door and saw Tao Zhan wave to her in the window of a carriage. Sun Shangxiang walked up and smiled and said, "Are you all sitting in a carriage?"
"During the day, everyone sits together and talks, and then go back to their respective carriages to rest at night. And you are the only one in our house, so everyone expects you to introduce the scenery along the way."
Sun Shangxiang glanced at Liu Jing not far away. Seeing his smug smile, he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely and got on the carriage with Xiao Qiao. Liu Jing watched them get on the carriage, especially Sun Shangxiang glared at him at the last time, which meant that she was just angry, not really resentful to herself. Liu Jing immediately felt relieved and felt better again. He immediately ordered: "Send orders to set off."
“Let’s go”
The guard shouted, and the carriage started slowly. Under the escort of soldiers, several carriages left Chengdu in a mighty manner and drove northward.
Just as Liu Jing led his family to Guanzhong, Dong Zhao also ended his mission. On the way back to Yedu, after effective negotiations between him and Sima Yi, both sides were sincere and soon reached an agreement that the Han army suspended the attack on Hefei, removed Chaohu Water Village, and the navy was stationed in Ruxukou. The navy's strength was no more than 5,000, and the warships did not exceed, and the troops of Wan County were reduced to 10,000. At the same time, the Cao army's garrison in Hefei would also be reduced to 10,000.
As compensation for the armistice, Hefei will bear the grain supply of the Han Navy Army in Ruxukou. The monthly grain was initially proposed by Liu Jing to cut it to 5,000 shi of grain per month. This was the concession of the Han army. At the same time, Cao's army promised not to interfere in the internal affairs of Jiangdong. This was Cao Cao's strategic need. He needed time to prepare for war, which was also Liu Jing's strategic need. He needed time to first resolve the threat of Zahu north of Guanzhong and move the capital to Chang'an.
The armistice was in line with the common strategic needs of both sides, and the war situation in the southeast was eased and no longer became a hot topic of attention. However, the struggle between the Cao brothers for the position of inheritance gradually became fierce.
Hua Xin returned to Yedu at dusk. He entered Yedu City at dusk. He did not care about the fatigue of the journey and rushed to Cao Pi's mansion.
Cao Pi's mansion was the former Prime Minister Cao Cao's mansion. After Cao Cao moved to Tongquetai, he gave the old mansion to Cao Pi, which caused controversy because according to Cao Pi's official title, he was not qualified to live in a huge house covering an area of 150 acres. However, as Cao Pi became deputy prime minister and general of the Five-party Central Army, taking charge of government affairs, this dispute gradually subsided.
At this time, Cao Pi had finished his day's official duties and was sitting in the inner study room to read a book, but he seemed a little restless. At noon today, the news of Cao Liu's successful negotiations reached Yedu in the form of Bali Express. The news was deeply inspired by the government and the people, and Cao Cao personally ordered the commendation of Dong Zhao.
But what made Cao Pi uneasy was that his father summoned his brother Cao Zhi for this and praised him for his contribution to recommending Dong Zhao. This undoubtedly divided half of Dong Zhao's contribution to his brother Cao Zhi, making Cao Zhi proud, but Cao Pi was depressed.
These days, my father became more and more biased towards his brothers. Just before the sky, he promoted Wang Jie to Shizhong. Wang Jie was also a backbone of his brother Cao Zhi. Because he was demoted to Jingzhou, he has never been valued. This time he was promoted to Shizhong in power and was responsible for reviewing his government affairs, which undoubtedly hindered his government affairs power.
Cao Pi was worried that his government power was diverted. Although the military supported him, the military was firmly controlled by his father. They had no say. The power of supervision fell into the hands of his brothers. His advantages were surpassed little by little. Does his father really want to make his brother the heir?
Cao Pi was upset and couldn't read the book. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, which was the voice of his wife Zhen, "General"
"What's the matter?" Cao Pi asked with some displeasure.
"General, the butler heard from the front yard that Mr. Hua had come and asked for a meeting if there was an urgent matter."
Cao Pi stood up, unable to help but be surprised and happy. Hua Xin finally came back. He repeatedly ordered: "Please ask Mr. Hua to the study room for a while, and I will come soon."
