The team sent from Bianliang to Luoyang was very large.
Since May, the Yinqiang Zuoying, which has been resting for half a year, set off from its base in Xiangcheng County, went all the way north, and arrived in Kaifeng County in late May.
Xuchang Shibing gathered 5,000 people and headed north.
The three counties of Chenliu, Jiyin and Jiyang recruited 5,000 men.
In addition to three thousand Hu people and light cavalry, the total force was about 20,000. They were divided into three armies, front, middle and rear, and marched to Luoyang in a mighty manner.
Shao Xun told Yu Wenjun that it was only the couple who were going to Luo this time, which was correct but also incorrect.
Wang Jingfeng has returned to Luoyang with his children under the escort of the former army.
Wang Yan stopped working and went home directly. Looking at his grandson sleeping soundly on the couch, he was very happy.
Wang Jingfeng yawned and said, "Master, I looked carefully since I was born and there are no auspicious clouds above my head."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan couldn't hold himself any longer.
Mrs. Guo smiled and pushed her daughter and went out to prepare food.
"You are now Mrs. Shao Mansion, why are you still so lazy?" Lao Wang glanced at his daughter dissatisfied.
"What kind of madam? She's not even worthy of the country king." Wang Jingfeng said weakly: "Liu Ye also has the title of Mrs. Shangdangguo. Isn't this much better than the dry title of madam?"
Wang Yan was very happy and said: "The wife given by the Liu family is Liu Han's fake position. What does it matter?"
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the wives of high-ranking officials have been called madam. Concubines are also often called madam, and they are also called "a certain concubine".
The Western Jin Dynasty did not have a systematic system of internal and external married women.
Generally speaking, only princesses will be titled by specific counties, that is, a certain princess has a fief, a manor, a banker, and retainers.
The queen's aunt, biological mother, maternal grandmother, etc. may be canonized as township monarchs. Important court officials or wives of the clan who have made great achievements may also be named township monarchs, but rarely - Concubine Pei does not have the title of township monarch.
The Tang Dynasty was the time when the system of internally ordered women and externally appointed women truly matured.
"Grandpa, it's rare for me to come home, but you don't want to see me like this..." Wang Jingfeng said with tears in his eyes, dissatisfied.
Wang Yan doesn’t accept this trick.
This daughter is like a goddess outside, admired by many younger generations, but at home - Lao Wang holds his forehead and sighs repeatedly.
"How is your education, the eldest son and the second son of Mr. Chen, getting older?" Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"It doesn't seem to be good." Wang Jingfeng said, "I heard that several of the rulers were broken."
Wang Yan looked happy.
"Grandpa, please stop worrying." Wang Jingfeng came to the bedside, looked at his pink son, showed a gentle smile, and said: "When my son grows up, it is enough for him to travel for a lifetime. Read a book in his free time.
Isn’t hunting better than anything else?”
Wang Yan was speechless for a moment.
The eldest daughter used to be the official wife of Lord Lu, so why did she become a widow in the end? Alas.
"Why is Hui Feng so worried?" Wang Yan asked again.
"She may like Mr. Lang more than me, hehe." Wang Jingfeng said with a bright smile.
Wang Yan was startled and asked: "How do you know?"
Lao Wang actually had some guesses, but when his eldest daughter said these words, it always made him feel a little untrue.
"She secretly looked at Lang Jun." Wang Jingfeng yawned again and said, "She is weak and restless on weekdays, but when Lang Jun comes to discuss matters with her, she becomes energetic and sometimes even blushes."
"Since you know this -" Wang Yan was speechless.
"She can't save face," Wang Jingfeng said nonchalantly.
This time, Wang Yan was worried.
Seeing that the heartless eldest daughter could not ask any more questions, Wang Yan looked at his grandson again and went out.
Wang Jingfeng looked at his son on the couch and fell asleep.

After arriving at the study, Wang Yan and Wang Xuan sat opposite each other.
"How is everything going in the court?" Wang Yan asked.
"The emperor is dissatisfied with the persecution of the He family." Wang Xuan replied: "Because Feili, the internal historian of Runan, is old, he wants to remove him from his post and calls him a cruel official."
Fei Li was a native of Shu and a former lieutenant of the Prince of Chengdu. He was recruited by Lu Zhi and served as internal historian of Runan a few years ago.
It is hard to say that he is a cruel official, but it is true that he resolutely follows orders. And because his family is rooted in Shu, Fei Li only lives in Henan with his wife and children. Except for Lu Zhi, he has no network and no worries.
, it’s not ambiguous to start with.
The former crown prince Youwei led Cui Wei to deliver a secret edict to the emperor. Chen Gong was displeased, so Wang Yan led hundreds of officials to depose the prince on the grounds of "unfilial piety" and imprisoned him in Jinyong City.
Later, it was learned that after Cui Wei went to Daijun, he moved from Yanmen to Jinyang, and made Liu Kun the governor of Bingzhou and the commander-in-chief of all the military affairs in the three states of Youji. After asking for instructions, Wang Yan again regarded "misbehavior" as a crime.
As a result of the memorial to impeach Sima Quan, in April, Sima Quan and the deposed Crown Princess He died.
Officials and generals in the East Palace were also purged on a large scale, and many were demoted as slaves and sent to Guangchengze to farm.
The He family in Runan was also purged. Fei Li personally led the troops, captured and killed more than a hundred of the He family's children, and confiscated the land and property of his tribe.
There is no doubt that this move greatly shocked the court and made the emperor angry.
Wang Yan played a key role in deposing the crown prince, so he was inevitably gossiped about. Moreover, his daughter gave birth to a child for Chen Gong, and was ridiculed for clinging to the new rich, which was shameless.
Even though Lao Wang was such a shameless person, he was a little unhappy when he heard the gossip behind his back.
The reputation accumulated in most of my life has been consumed a bit quickly in the past few years. Especially the matter of the prince and his wife being sentenced to death. If he hadn't had great reputation, wide connections, and many old officials, there would definitely be many people to scold him, and public opinion would never be as bad as
It's so peaceful now.
In addition, after the He family was uprooted, many scholars died in grief, but he comforted them one by one, and finally managed to stabilize.
After working hard for several months, I was really exhausted both mentally and physically.
"Although Fei Jianxi is old, he is not fatuous. Mr. Chen also admires him very much and cannot move." Wang Yan said: "Is there any news from the emperor?"
"Today Huangmen's servant Pei Kui mentioned something, saying that the emperor wants to make Yuzhang Wang Duan the crown prince."
"What evil has Prince Kang of Qinghe done..." Wang Yan was speechless.
King Sima Xia of Qinghe was given the posthumous name "Kang" after his death. He had four sons.
The eldest son Sima Tan, the deposed prince who was led into the palace by Yang Xianrong and wanted to inherit the throne, was killed by Sima Yue.
The second son Sima You (yuè), who succeeded him as King Qinghe, is still in Luoyang.
The third son was the former prince Sima Quan, who was killed by Shao Xun.
The fourth son, Sima Duan, is now the King of Yuzhang.
The emperor just wanted the fourth son of the late King Qinghe to be the crown prince, because he himself could not give birth to a son and half a daughter.
If you think about it carefully, King Qinghe's family has really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck.
The two sons entered the palace and became princes one after another, but both of them died. Now I want the younger son Sima Duan to continue to be the prince, can he do it? Is it so easy to be the prince of the Jin Dynasty? But in two generations, three princes have died.
, can the fourth one survive?
"Let's put it off for a while." Wang Yan said: "I don't think any of the clan members are willing to rush to become the prince."
The establishment of a prince is a legitimate matter, and there is no reason inside or outside the court to stop it, but to delay it.
Fortunately, the clan members are not stupid now, and no one can't think of becoming the prince. If this matter is postponed until the end, there is a high probability that someone will be forced to appoint someone. No matter how unwilling the unlucky guy is, he can only become the prince with a sad face.
"The canonization ceremony is the most important thing." Wang Yan added: "Tomorrow, I will go check it out and make sure there is no mistake. You are the Minister of Duzhi. No matter how little money the imperial court has, you must prepare rewards."
"Yes." Wang Xuan responded.
"If you do this well, my father will be shameless and seek a good official position for you." Wang Yan stroked his beard and said: "Quan Zhong is a kind person and will never be ungrateful."
At this point, Wang Yan stood up and said with emotion: "It's really not easy to watch him step by step to where he is today."
Wang Xuan was also in a daze.
I think back then, Mr. Chen worked hard to earn a place as a police officer and enter the official career. Who would care about him then?
Wang Xuan accidentally heard someone mention Shao Xun's name, but he didn't take it to heart. At that time, there were still many layers between Mr. Chen and the Langya Wang family, and it was not worth their time to take a look.
But things in the world are changing, making people dizzy and even dumbfounded.
There was no point in regretting now. The Wang family hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly and finally saw Mr. Chen's rapid progress, barely getting his share of the overall profit distribution.
What people fear most is being worthless.
The Wang family still has value now, and everything still has a chance.

It was sunny on June 11, the tenth year of Yongjia in the Jin Dynasty (316).
When the long dragon-like troops appeared on the eastern horizon, everyone knew that the soldier who wiped out Shi Le and took over Youzhou was coming.
The news spread throughout Luoyang immediately.
All the officials and officials in the city had complicated expressions.
For them, Youzhou is too far away and they don't care much about it. But the bloody battle in Xin'an that lasted until February this year greatly improved their security situation - 15,000 Forbidden Army soldiers spilled blood on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of Sizhou soldiers
Young men filled in the ravines and brought long-term peace and stability to Luoyang.
Counting each incident over the years, the Battle of Zhemati eliminated the threat to the north of Luoyang, and the Battle of Xin'an filled the gap in the west. Chen Gong was very kind to them.
But - let’s not talk about it!
Is my objection useful?
When the intensive sound of horse hoofbeats echoed outside Dongyang Gate, the last trace of noise in Luoyang disappeared.
Under the setting sun in the evening, Pole Ma stopped at the end of Duan Dynasty. He first looked up at the majestic Luoyang City Wall, then turned to look at Duke Chen's large scroll, and sighed silently.
It seems that everyone is more or less dissatisfied with Mr. Chen, but they are coerced by the general trend and reluctantly work for him.
Before this year, he never thought that one day he would bring his tribe to Luoyang.
Such a majestic city and such a glorious royal aura are not worth mentioning in front of Duke Chen.
What confidence does he have to rebel?
Xianbei cavalry were cruising outside the gates, and their eyes were also attracted by this majestic city.
After seeing too much of the world, the ministers and leaders who originally respected them as heavenly beings seemed to be no more than that.
After nightfall, 20,000 troops camped outside Dongyang Gate.
Shao Xun took Yu Wenjun's hand and got out of the carriage. Looking at the dimly lit city tower under the night sky, he grasped the sky, as if crushing something.
"Twelve years ago, I followed Mi Zihui through this door. He was sneaky and alone. Twelve years later, I came out of this door with my wife's hand, and there were people gathering." Shao Xun looked at Yu Wenjun and whispered: "Twelve years ago.
, I just want to give my wife a set of queen’s crown uniforms.”
Yu Wenjun recalled the past events of his childhood, looking at Shao Xun with his bright eyes, and was fascinated for a moment.
