Chapter 256 Wei Zhaodu goes south

The queen said gently: "Auntie, this is my second daughter, Princess Xindu, and I would like to take care of her."

Mrs. Wei nodded and smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the princess will follow her, and she will protect her from being wronged."

The queen said gratefully: "I thank Auntie in this palace, I wish my aunt a good fortune all the way."

Mrs. Wei smiled and nodded, as if she was on an equal footing with the queen, and she was not as respectful as the ruler and his subjects.

The reason is that old age is respectful, and the other is that in terms of mentality, Mrs. Wei is very different from Wei Zhaodu. This time she went south, she was her ancestor, commonly known as confidence.

Mrs. Wei’s confidence comes from the respect of her sons Wei Xun and Wei Fufeng, but the Prime Minister’s husband doesn’t have much confidence.

Since his son served as the governor of Junzhou, Mrs. Wei's mentality is that "mother is noble by her son" and her son's filial piety has improved the survival embarrassment of the prime minister's family.

The little girl knelt down on her own initiative and said sweetly: "My mother, my daughter bows to you, I wish you peace, happiness and longevity."

The queen couldn't help but help her daughter up before leaving, and she cried and said, "In the future, don't claim to be noble princess, but be harmonious with others."

"Daughter, remember, don't cry, mother." The little girl whispered in tears.

The queen hugged her daughter and cried. Mrs. Wei was moved when she saw it. As the mother, she naturally understood. She whispered: "The Empress does not have to hurt her farewell like this. Your Highness can visit her relatives and come back to Chang'an in the future."

The queen looked up at Mrs. Wei and questioned: "Can you still come back if you have any letter?"

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess is not going to the frontier to marry. If you get married in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you can naturally come back to visit your relatives. However, a married daughter should be willing to return to her husband's house and visit her, but she should not be nostalgic for her."

The queen nodded and said sincerely: "I thank Auntie I for kindness."

"I should do my best." Mrs. Wei responded respectfully in a respectful tone.

......

Mrs. Wei and the princess drove out of Anfu Gate. The queen and her children climbed to Anfu Gate and looked for a look. They unexpectedly met Zhaozong.

Zhaozong stood alone in front of the female wall, and the eunuchs were far away.

The queen walked over and called: "Your Majesty."

"I have no face to send a letter to the capital." Zhaozong responded whispered.

"Your Majesty, I will get married sooner or later." The queen comforted.

"Xindu's departure is my shame. Do you think I can take my daughter back in the future?" Zhaozong whispered.

The queen was stunned. What does the emperor mean?

"Your Majesty gave the marriage, and the letter brought the iron scroll." The queen replied, reminding the emperor that the marriage was not a joke.

"I can give it to you and take it back. Even if the letter is still young, I will take her home." Zhaozong looked into the distance and said firmly.

The queen was silent and found it difficult to agree with the emperor's statement for the first time. As an emperor, she could take back her life due to changes in the situation.

Even if you are forced to give a marriage, you should not go back on your word, as it is a loss of virtue.

On the other hand, the queen felt sorry for her daughter and hoped that she could come back.

......

Wei Zhaodu set out to leave Chang'an, and accompanied him with his wife, four maids, son Wei Gen, thirteen trusted generals, and three hundred Shen Ce Army.

This trip was in the name of the envoy, and the princess and her wife took a car.

The princess entourage was two palace maids and ten eunuchs. She went south to take only the princess’s private affairs and had no dowry. It can be said that her marriage property was not as good as Li Xuerou.

Wei Zhaodu went south and was prepared to go south, intending to obtain available military power.

The thirteen generals of the thirteen families were all personal soldiers of General Ya who had been following for many years. If they intervened in Wei Fufeng's rule, they would become generals whom he could command.

Wei Zhaodu is hugging

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

With the idea of ​​cooperation, he believed that Wei Fufeng should accept the title of the court and obtain a legitimate vassal rule.

As the elder of Wei, Wei Zhao was willing to protect the descendants of Wei and gained hereditary foundation. Therefore, he did not seize it, but cooperated to leverage it.

While walking, the little princess looked out through the gaps in the window curtains, wondering about the outside world.

The natural scenery outside makes her pleasing to the eye, but the dilapidated and messy buildings, as well as the ragged, unkempt and thin, looking at the miserable and heart-wrenching humans made the little princess feel fear and confusion.

The little princess was nine years old and she was willing to give her a marriage, but she didn't want her mother to cry, so she couldn't bear to leave her mother.

After leaving home, the little princess had basically no imagination about what she would encounter in the future. She was not desperate and painful in her heart. When her kind grandmother told her that she could go home to visit her relatives in the future.

Mrs. Wei occasionally smiled and looked at the little princess. She knew that the little princess was willing to go south because her sister refused to go south and did not want her mother to be sad. She was kind and filial, so she really liked the little princess.

"Grandmother, the road here is so difficult?" said the little princess.

"Wuguan Road is an official road that spans the north and south. It is a section of Zhongnan Mountain. The mountains are not easy to walk." Mrs. Wei replied gently, and she was not feeling well when she was driving.

"I know Zhongnan Mountain, it is said that there are many noble hermits." The little princess said.

"That was the past. Most of the so-called hermits in Zhongnan Mountain were to gain a reputation for their noble reputation, and their purpose was to be secular glory. Now, the nobles do not go to Zhongnan Mountain, and there are very few hermits." Mrs. Wei whispered sarcastically.

The little princess nodded and asked again: "Grandmother, can Wuguan Road go directly to Fujian?"

"No, Wuguan Road can lead to Junzhou. When we arrive in Junzhou, we will have a good rest for a few days, then take a boat down the Han River, enter the river and go against the river to Jiangling Mansion. There is no need to bump in the boat, it is more comfortable than taking a bus." Mrs. Wei replied.

"Grandmother, how far is it from Fujian when we arrive in Jiangling Mansion?" asked the little princess.

"It's still half the way, but if we have access to water, our trip will take at least one month." Mrs. Qin replied.

The little princess nodded and thought that she would arrive in Fujian in a month and that she would be able to return home in a month. It would be very far away.

The mother said that when her daughter got married, she should be in love with her husband's family, otherwise she would be disliked by her husband's family. The mother said that after she joined the emperor, she had not returned to her parents' house for many years.

The queen mother needs to serve her father and cannot go back to her parents' home. When I arrived in Fujian, if I wanted to go home, would that prince consort be angry? Will the husband's family dislike me?

The little princess was confused and helpless. She missed her mother and refused to cry.

The mother said that she should not cry in front of outsiders, and it would be annoying. She dared not make her grandmother disgusted. After leaving home, her grandmother was the only one who allowed her to rely on.

He gently touched her back with one hand and patted her gently, with a gentle voice: "Daughters have left their parents for one day. My grandmother went to her husband's house at the age of eleven."

"Oh, my grandmother got married at the age of eleven?" the little princess said in surprise.

"It's not that I got married. My family was poor at that time and I had to live in my husband's house. I officially got married at the age of sixteen." My grandmother said gently.

"Grandma, am I the same?" asked the little princess.

"You are a princess, it may be different, but you have to remember that the most important thing about arriving at your husband's house is to gain recognition from your parents-in-law. As for getting married, it is not important." Grandma replied that she could not guarantee what happened many years later.

The little princess nodded and asked again: "Grandma, I have returned to my parents' home several times, my mother's mother

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He said that after joining the emperor, he has not returned to his parents' home for many years."

Grandma was stunned to recall, and the little princess looked at her and dared not speak out.

A moment later, the little princess heard: "Five times, I remember that after having the eldest son, I went back to my parents' home for the last time, and then my parents' home was in trouble."

The little princess whispered: "I shouldn't ask."

Grandma smiled and said gently: "Many years have passed, and the sadness has long passed."

The little princess nodded and asked again: "Is my grandmother's home in Chang'an?"

Grandma said gently, "You are strange. Why is my grandmother's family poor? In fact, it is simple. There are many dilapidated families in the Wei family. At that time, my grandmother's family was a scholarly family. Your grandmother's family was a dilapidated family. Later, your grandmother's family was promising, passed the imperial examination, won the appreciation of the Wei family's prominent family, became an official, and became the prime minister."

The little princess nodded and said, "My mother's origin is a commoner's family, and is in Zizhou, Shu."

"Zizhou, in the future, you may be able to visit your uncle's house." said my grandmother.

"I won't go, my uncle's house will never visit my mother." The little princess replied.

The grandmother sighed inwardly that the empress's family refused to send people to Chang'an, which was not because of the long journey, but because she was not optimistic about the current Tang Dynasty court.

The queen can't give any benefits to her parents' family, so she will naturally avoid them, so she will avoid being involved in the future.

......

Wei Zhaodu and his party arrived in Junzhou successfully. Wei Xun, the governor of Junzhou who was notified, greeted him with his subordinates outside the city gate. Seeing a horse coming alone, he saw clearly that the person on the horse was his brother Wei Gen.

"Brother." Wei Gen shouted happily. He had long wanted to come to Junzhou. In his heart, Junzhou was his own territory and could make him a superior.

Wei Xun smiled and nodded, Wei Gen rode a horse to approach, and a soldier from the city gate took the initiative to come and wait.

Wei Gen dismounted, walked to Wei Xun and respectfully said, "Good brother."

"Okay, how far is the parents?" Wei Xun asked gently.

"Banli, my father said, "Don't lose the etiquette of the ministers when they arrive, and everyone kneels to pick them up." Wei Gen told.

Wei Xun nodded, looked back and gave instructions, and then stood and waited until he saw the arrival of military forces protecting the vehicle.

Wei Xun respectfully and loudly said: "I am the governor of Junzhou, I welcome the envoy and the princess."

Then, ordinary officials and servants around knelt down, soldiers knelt on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the envoy, Your Highness, Princess."

With a strong momentum, Wei Zhaodu got off the car, walked to the front, and said majestic: "No gift."

The kneeling people stood up one after another, and the scene was silent and solemn.

Wei Xun took a step forward and said respectfully: "Sir, my father, His Highness the Princess, enter the city."

"Let's go together." Wei Zhaodu responded, walking into the city with his son Wei Xun, and walked all the way until he arrived at the state yamen.

Wei Xun's wife and children were welcomed in the prefecture yard. The family was very kind and happily entered the room to speak.

Wei Xun and Wei Gen accompanied their parents in the second hall, and the princess and her party were received and placed by Wei Xun's wife.

When the second hall was sitting, Wei Zhaodu smiled and said, "The people in Junzhou are good and have a prosperous atmosphere."

Wei Xun nodded and said, "It is mainly because of Fufeng's kindness. Fufeng promotes water conservancy, emphasizes craftsmen, divides land and stabilizes the morale of the army, and advocates reasonable taxes. Therefore, the people in Junzhou are rich, the warehouse is strong, and there are few bandits."

Wei Zhaodu frowned slightly and said, "Have you read the letter? Are you willing to go to Fujian?"

Wei Xun replied: "My father needs it, and his son should obey his orders, but it is best for the father to discuss it with Fufeng before his son can leave office."
