Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 113 Princess Yingchuan
Generally speaking, when the army is deployed, the loss of money and food is like an unstoppable flow of water.

But this refers to military operations for the purpose of combat, recruiting civilians who are two to three times the number of troops to accompany them.

They are responsible for filling the moat during the siege and consuming the enemy's arrows and other materials for defending the city.

It also provides logistical support for the soldiers, so that the soldiers can recharge their batteries and concentrate on fighting.

Of course, sometimes civilian husbands have to replace the role of military rations, but this is only a special case.

And Gao Huan's intention to lead an army of 20 to patrol Hebei was not for the purpose of combat, and there was no need to recruit a large number of civilians to accompany him.

Although money and food are also wasted, don't these people stop eating when they stay in Jinyang?What's more, visiting Hebei is of great significance.

The affluent Hebei is where the Gao family started. Since Gao Huan won Jinyang, the two fathers and sons have not set foot in Hebei for a year and a half. Now that the Northern Wei Dynasty has split, it is the time when people's hearts are moving.

Gao Huan led the Jinyang army to Yecheng, making Hebei scholars and nobles open their eyes to take a good look at the strength of the Gao family, and stabilize the hearts of Hebei.

Gao Cheng, who was seriously ill in Xuzhou, miraculously recovered when he returned to Luoyang, and was busy raising food for Gao Huan to go to Yecheng.

And when Gao Cheng arranged the logistics support for Gao Huan, Gao Huan, who was sick, also recovered, and asked to replace the emperor Yuan Shanjian to inspect Hebei.

After getting permission, Gao Huan entered the palace city to bid farewell to Yuan Shanjian, but Gao Cheng stayed in the mansion and did not go with him.

Er Zhurong brought his 17-year-old eldest son into the palace, and both father and son died together, leaving only the three-year-old Er Zhu Wenchang and the younger Er Zhu Wenlue, which caused the internal division of the Er Zhu family.

Never forgetting the past is a guide for the future, the Gao family father and son don't even have the chance to enter the palace together, and even stay in the same city.

He Liuhun from Xianbei participated in the Six Towns Rebellion in Hebei, and took the lead in persuading Er Zhurong to advance, but this did not affect Gao Huan's loyalty to Wei.

For the puppet emperor and son-in-law Yuan Shanjian in his hands, Gao Huan has always been respectful, in stark contrast to his domineering subordinates.

That's right, it's you, Gao Longzhi who once snatched the emperor's jade seal.

Gao Longzhi, a devout Buddhist, changed, and he did not know what stimulated him to change his faith.

Gao Longzhi, who built temples extensively, is dead, and now he is committed to repurposing confiscated temples for other purposes.

Gao Huan was amazed by Gao Longzhi's enthusiasm for work, so in order to give him a rest, he arranged an errand for Gao Longzhi to go to Hedong Mountain to discuss marriage with Liu Lisheng.

This was a good job, and Liu Lisheng had no reason to refuse the proposal of Gao Huan's children and in-laws, it was purely for nothing.

Gao Longzhi led a group of people northward after receiving the task.

Before leaving, I did not forget to warn my family members to close the door of the house and avoid contact with outsiders.

He couldn't help but not be afraid, the Gao family father and son were both in Luoyang City, and the danger factor was twice as high as usual.

Of course, what Gao Longzhi was worried about was the danger of someone plotting to assassinate Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, which would cause turmoil, and it was by no means worried that the father and son would visit.

The team going north was mixed with a lot of people from the Ministry of Public Security, led by Zhao Yanshen himself, which shows how important Gao Cheng is to Gao Yang's marriage, and his determination to let his in-laws be besieged and killed by the generals.

Gao Huan set off for Yecheng on the third day after Gao Longzhi left, and all the members of the Gao Clan in Luoyang left the city to see him off.

Lou Zhaojun hugged Gao Cheng in his arms and looked at the mother and son's reluctant parting, making Gao Huan beside him deep in thought:
'Before Ah Hui returned to Luoyang, his wife begged day and night, and almost squeezed her dry. After Ah Hui came back, she turned back into the dignified Princess of Bohai.

'Today, as a father, I will go to Yecheng, but Ah Hui comes alone to see him off, unwilling to let my concubine go out. '

Thinking of this, Gao Huan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed:
'Who do these two mothers and sons think I am, Gao Huan!
"You Gao Cheng's reputation is very good?"No one in Luoyang city knew what was going on in Yingchuan Palace. '

The Luoyang clan rebelled, and Qinghe Wang Yuandan's followers were all killed, and his family members were taken to Jinyang.

Although Yuan Quan was the culprit, his family members were also the emperor's close relatives, so they were spared.

But besides that, there was one woman who was not affected.

Wang Yuanbinzhi of Yingchuan County was executed for participating in the rebellion, but the name of Princess Song was erased from the list of criminals, and she still lived in Yingchuan Palace.

Yuan Bin's rebellion not only resulted in his death, but also deprived him of his title. However, the plaque of the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion was grandly hung in his former residence. Naturally, the people below heard that Gao Huan and Gao Cheng loved noble women and wanted to maintain the Song family. the honorable.

Those who are interested in guessing the people behind the Song family generally think that Gao Cheng did it.

If it was Gao Huan, the Song family would have been escorted to Jinyang Chengze Yulu long ago.

Therefore, even though Gao Cheng never visited the Yingchuan Palace for a year, it did not hinder the spread of many eclectic stories, such as: King Gao visited Yingchuan Mansion at night, Princess Song went to Wushan with tears in her eyes.

Before leaving, Gao Huan reprimanded:

"Ah Hui, if you want a woman, you should give her a title. It's not easy for a widow to live, so it's not decent to keep her as a concubine."

Gao Cheng felt guilty and didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only oblige.

After sending Gao Huan away, Gao Cheng also decided to go see the Song family, and listen to the Luoyang City where the Sifu Yamen is located. How could Gao Cheng not know what words and stories were circulating in the city, and he just pretended to be deaf and dumb.

There are already three beautiful women in the family, which has already caused Xiao Gao Wang, who is obsessed with health preservation, to feel a headache. Isn't it adding fuel to the flames by admitting another Song family at this time?

Sooner or later, the evil fire in his body would burn Gao Cheng to death.

Regarding the biological mother of the original owner's eldest son, if Gao Cheng watched her being taken to Jinyang, he would inevitably feel that he was a tauren.

Orcs are never slaves, except tauren.

Gao Cheng asked the Song family to stay in Luoyang, and the Yingchuan palace only kept maidservants, and men were not allowed to enter, regardless of whether it had been a year, he would also make a promise to the Song lady.

Yingchuan Palace, back house.

Mrs. Song is doing her makeup in front of the mirror. At the age of 20, she is beautiful and youthful.

Insert a little emerald phoenix hairpin in the bun, choose a pair of beaded earrings, and put a string of pearl necklaces around the neck.

Rouge was applied on both cheeks, vermilion lips were dyed, willow leaf eyebrows were painted lightly, and yellow flowers were pasted on the forehead. Looking at the beautiful appearance in the mirror, Mrs. Song was also fascinated.

I looked at it, but couldn't help crying. With all the makeup on, who am I dressing up for?
For a year, she was locked in this Yingchuan Prince's Mansion like a bird in a cage.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Song patiently dressed up again. In this cage, she didn't even have anyone to talk to except the maidservant.

The handkerchiefs were handed over in Luoyang, and they avoided them one by one. Their husbands and concubines forbade their wives and concubines from entering and leaving Yingchuan Palace, lest Gao Cheng would bump into them when he came to the door, and show them off.

Lady Song was born in a famous family, and her grandfather Song Bian was a famous minister of Xiaowen. Although he was Han, he was also one of the six auxiliary ministers appointed by Emperor Xiaowen's edict, and served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

When she was old, she married Yuan Binzhi, the son of Anle Wang Yuanquan.

After Yuan Shan saw his superiority, Yuan Binzhi attached himself to Yuan Quan, King of Qinghe, inherited the title of his father and brother, and was granted the title of King of Yingchuan County, and Lady Song was able to enjoy the dignity of a princess.

But it is a pity that the good times didn't last long. A Luoyang rebellion broke everything. Yuan Binzhi abandoned his home and fled but was arrested and executed outside the gate of Changhe. Positive.

But she, who was also a sinful relative, escaped, but there was no male figure in the house anymore.

Regarding this kind of special treatment, Mrs. Song, who was once a married woman, knew very well that whether it was Gao Huan or Gao Cheng, one of the two father and son always took a fancy to her, but she didn't remember when she had a relationship with the father and son. seen.

Looking at herself in the mirror, after a long time, Mrs. Song also felt a little tired, and was about to close her clothes for a nap when there was a knock on the door.

"who is it."

Lady Song said lazily.

Gao Cheng who was outside the door didn't know how to introduce himself for a while, he glanced at Gao's maid who was arranged in Yingchuan Palace.

The servant girl understood and said on his behalf:
"Ma'am, the prince of Bohai is visiting."

Mrs. Song's heart skipped a beat: So he still remembers me.

She hurriedly looked left and right in the mirror again, fearing that there might be flaws in her makeup that would make Gao Cheng unhappy.

After a long time, the door of the room was pulled open, and the lady Song with downcast eyes slowly raised her head. The spring breeze was blowing on her face, and a handsome young man stood in the cold wind of early spring.

The young man was dressed in brocade clothes and black fur, and when he looked at himself with a pair of clear eyes, his slightly shy look was imprinted on Miss Song's heart: Is this the husband I will serve in the future?
Since fate cannot be decided by itself, it is better for a widow to remarry a beautiful young man than an old and ugly one. Mrs. Song's heart beats wildly.

"I'm busy with official duties, and I went out twice during the period. I neglected my wife, please don't blame me."

Gao Cheng was not surprised by Miss Song's beauty, he still recognized the original owner's aesthetic level.

But he liked the tear mole in the corner of Mrs. Song's right eye even more.

"The son can remember the concubine's life, and the concubine's life is already enough."

Lady Song bowed her head shyly and said with a smile:

"The weather is cold, if your son doesn't dislike it, please come into the house with me and sit down for a while."

Gao Cheng's eyes lit up, Mrs. Song's voice was very nice and crisp.

"Madam invites, Cheng dare not refuse."

After Mrs. Song entered the door, although they both knew what status they would get along with in the future, the two of them were a little cautious when they first met.

Lady Song bowed her head and said nothing, it was already bold to invite him into the room, she didn't want Gao Cheng to feel that she was a slutty woman, and thus underestimated herself.

It was Gao Cheng who was the first to break this embarrassment. He approached and gently raised Lady Song's chin, greedily and presumptuously looking at her eyebrows and eyes, as well as his favorite tear mole.

"Gao Lang."

Lady Song called softly, her cheeks blushed, and she turned her face away.

"Don't move." Gao Cheng said softly, "Let me take a good look at you."

Lady Song followed his wishes and turned her head around again.

"Would you like to come into my house?"

Gao Cheng's question lifted Lady Song's spirits, she thought she was just an outsider who couldn't enter the door, otherwise she wouldn't be raised in the Yingchuan Palace for a year, so she didn't ask.

I didn't expect that he was actually willing to give himself a name.

"Concubine."

Lady Song hurriedly agreed, but was interrupted by Gao Cheng:

"Don't rush to answer. I'm only fourteen years old. I can't rush you. Are you willing to wait for me for two years? Think clearly."

"I am willing."
