Chapter 369 Family Banquet(1/2)

The frontiers have also recovered rapidly this year.

Before March, the ice and snow had begun to melt, and a little bit of emerald green could be seen in the bare forest in the distance.

In the past, by April, snowfall could be seen in the frontiers and it was quite common.

The snow on the mountain melted, and the water flowed from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and the water flowed clear.

As the stream goes forward, you can see many farmers in the distance, busy by the stream.

They were diversion, digging a small canal, dividing part of the stream into their own villages.

Gao Changgong was wearing armor and passed by the official road beside him.

Several township officials were patrolling along the stream and prohibiting the people along the road from robbing water without catching water.

The village is hiding on the mountainside in the distance. From a distance, you can see a lot of rising smoke from cooking, and occasionally the barking of dogs.

A quiet countryside atmosphere.

Gao Changgong really didn't expect that one day he would still experience this atmosphere in the frontier.

As the poorest, most dangerous and most difficult area in Qi in the past, now there is such a rural atmosphere.

No wonder everyone says that Liu Taozi has a destiny, but others don’t believe it, so the frontiers must believe it.

Gao Changgong walked around the official road in front of him and came to a fork in the road.

A post house was set up at the fork road, and postmen and postmen intercepted and investigated.

Gao Changgong led more than a hundred people, but he didn't show any official documents. However, in this way, the minor officials dared not be rude to him. When they came to investigate, they were cautious and smiling. However, registration still had to be registered. If they did not register for the post house here and could not get the relevant certificates at the next place, they would be arrested.

After telling her identity information normally and going to the destination, Gao Changgong was able to continue traveling with her.

The closer you get to Pingcheng, the more such interrogations will be.

Pingcheng is now about to hold the throne ceremony, and the entire Hengzhou has begun to strengthen its defense, for fear that there will be some people who are blind to come out to cause trouble while everyone gathers in Pingcheng.

Sometimes the official road will pass through the village, and villagers will take out some things on both sides to sell them to passers-by.

Gao Changgong saw that many villages along the road were preparing to celebrate. Some officials tied up the livestock with bright colors of cloth, which was to celebrate and enjoy with the villagers.

Gao Changgong looked at the farmers in the distance in surprise. He was about to walk forward, but someone suddenly stopped him.

It was a half-aged child, wearing thick clothes, thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and two soldiers were following behind him.

"Do you dare to ask if it is Gao Governor of Lingzhou?"

Gao Changgong was stunned, stared at the little doll in front of him, looked for a moment, and then said, "It's me."

"It's really Governor Gao!!"

"I have admired you for a long time!"

The little baby was a little excited, and quickly pointed to the direction of the village next to him, "My eldest brother has been waiting for you there for a long time!"

Gao Changgong was a little confused, and he asked curiously: "Who is your eldest brother?"

"My eldest brother is King of Han Liu Taozi."

Gao Changgong was even more shocked, "So he has a younger brother?"

He didn't think the little doll was lying to him. He asked the knights to dismount, and he handed the reins of the war horse to the guards beside him, and followed the little doll toward the village.

"Governor, I call Liu Wuzhi, just call me Xiao Wu."

"We've been waiting for you for a long time"

Xiao Wu was quite attentive to Gao Changgong. Every time he looked at the other person, a flattering smile appeared on his face, as if he had another intention.

They walked through the village path, turned a corner, and came to a large fork in the village, where there was a very good mansion standing, with stables on both sides.

The soldiers saw Xiaowu, Gao Changgong and others, and hurried into the door to report.

As soon as Gao Changgong walked to the door, he saw two people coming out.

One person is Liu Taozi, while the other person is Lu Qujian.

"Master!"

Gao Changgong celebrated with him, and Liu Taozi directly helped him up, "This is a family dinner, so there is no need to be such a match."

Lu Qubing laughed and nodded, saying, "There are no outsiders, so you really don't have to be so polite, so come in first."

Gao Changgong followed Liu Taozi into the yard.

The yard is much smaller and there are not so many houses. It is good in the countryside, but it is still incomparable to the large mansions in the city. Gao Changgong saw two women standing in the yard, one older and the other younger.

Liu Taozi introduced: "This is my mother, that is my wife."

Gao Changgong was surprised and hurriedly took off the mask on his face, formally paid a visit to Liu Zhang, and then paid a greeting to Huluan.

Liu Zhang looked at Gao Changgong who was taking off his mask, stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I am worthy of being the grandson of King Gao, and I am really a handsome young man."

"Thank you, sir, I'm sorry."

"Have you ever been married?"

"I haven't even done it yet."

Liu Zhang asked a few more questions and left with Huluhua. Xiao Wu followed them, still a little reluctant to leave.

Gao Changgong glanced at Liu Taozi, "It's really a family dinner?"

Lu Qubing said first, "Yes, Taozi wanted to come to greet you when she learned that you were coming. It happened that his family might not have been out for a long time, so she just took them out of the city for a while. The old lady insisted on taking me with me, so I followed her."

"It just so happens that there is nothing to do in the court."

Liu Taozi had just opened her mouth at this moment. Seeing Lu Qubing had been talking for a long time, Taozi just nodded, "As he said."

"I don't know that you have a mother, a wife and a younger brother. I only know Ling Zun. Why didn't Ling Zun come?"

Liu Taozi looked at Lu Qubing and signaled him to continue.

Lu Qubing hurriedly said, "I met his parents when I was in Cheng'an, but I didn't know his father's identity at that time."

"I suddenly disappeared later, and I didn't dare to ask, just thinking that something happened."

"Taozi's parents have always been hidden in Cheng'an. Later, they went to Yecheng and hid in the mansion. His wife was just married, and was General Huluguang's youngest daughter. In fact, it was not considered his marries. Taozi issued a manifesto before, which made many people panic. Then the old lady took the initiative to contact General Huluguang and married him to appease these old people."

When Lu Qubing's explanation was almost done, Liu Taozi found the right opportunity to interrupt him.

"Spring has not started yet, but the scenery of the villages outside the city is quite good."

"The officials in the village slaughtered livestock, ate with the villagers, and celebrated my ascension to the throne together."

"I just used a fake identity to stay here and see what the situation is."

Gao Changgong looked around and said, "Go out for a walk?"

"good."

Soon, the three of them rode on horses, without armor, but with bows and arrows, and left the village.

If you have a road to get sick, you are not afraid that the atmosphere will become colder, but you don’t seem to find any prey.

Liu Taozi and Gao Changgong walked side by side.

"You guys, don't worry."

"Yanzong became the left guard general of Shanjunzhan Camp, and is now in Jinyang, responsible for escorting the Jinyang soldiers to various places."

"Your elder brother is smart, smart, and able to treat people. I'm going to let him go to the Shangshutai to do things."

"Zu Yi advised me to set up an Imperial College in Pingcheng. If it can be set up this year, your second brother Gao Xiaoheng is very suitable for teaching and studying in the Imperial College."

"As for Gao Xiaowan, this person is honest and can be listened to at the Censorate."

"They didn't object too much to me to take office. After all, they were almost killed by the emperor at the beginning, and they knew that if they hadn't been me, they would have become corpses at this moment."

Gao Changgong said, "I can take in so many royal families of the previous dynasty and dare to let them take on great responsibilities. I know that it is the first one."

"I don't know my origin. In today's country, there are many insects who only know how to fish and meat, but few people can do things."

"I have talent and have never done anything that is harmful to the world. If I am willing to do it with me, I will take it in. Of course, I will have to abide by the Han laws in the future."

Liu Taozi said, pulling the bow suddenly.

"Swoosh~~"

Arrows flew out.

A hare in the distance had no time to dodge and was nailed directly to the tree. Liu Taozi quickly stepped forward, picked up the hare, and hung it beside the saddle.

Gao Changgong looked around, "Your look is really good."

Lu Qubing smiled and said, "Taozi's eyes have always been very good. I remember when Gao Jun first came to Cheng'an, Taozi thought you were a good official and he always looked at people accurately."

Gao Changgong was a little surprised, "So that's it."

"Continue looking for it, just such a rabbit is not enough for us to eat."

Everyone moved slowly in the dense forest again, and Gao Changgong asked again: "What about the future strategy?"

"Are you going to move to Yecheng and regain Henan?"

"It's still the main focus of the pseudo-Zhou."

Liu Taozi said calmly: "I am not worried about Duan Shao. Although Duan Shao is strong, the land of Henan is full of decay. Dugu Yongye and Duan Shao are incompatible. It is only a matter of time before they fight against the people. Officials from all over the world are strong only when they treat the people, and they are all soft-hearted at the rest. Duan Shao is good at military affairs, but not good at governing the country. Even if he has 200,000 strong soldiers in Henan, it is not worth mentioning in my opinion."
