"It's okay, I'm just coming to see you!"

Cao Sheng patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the female soldier's 'military camp' and winked and smiled: "You also live here?" ”

"Huh! I live upstairs. ”

Li Yanqing didn't give Cao Sheng a chance to joke, and pulled him upstairs, this kid was open-mouthed, he said it cheerfully, but the embarrassment was left to himself.

Although Li Yanqing has a high position and is Cao Sheng's boss, he is in the officialdom, but in private he has a very good relationship with Cao Sheng, although Cao Sheng is his elder, he does not admit it, and only treats him as a friend.

Cao Sheng went up the stairs and said with a smile: "There are fifty female soldiers here!" Be careful, you kid, when the door closes at night, you won't even have any bones left! ”

Walking upstairs, Cao Sheng was suddenly a little embarrassed, there was a woman on it, he recognized it, it was Li Yanqing's sister-in-law Hu Qing'er, I don't know if she heard her jokes.

"It turned out to be Qing'er's sister, I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Sixth uncle, please take a seat, I'll pour you tea!"

Cao Sheng laughed, "Stinky boy, did you hear it, even Qing'er called me Sixth Uncle, should you change your mind?" ”

"you!" Li Yanqing glared at him fiercely, "If you rely on the old and sell the old again, next time I will call you Little Liuzi!" ”

"Don't! Let's call it Sixth Brother! ”

Cao Sheng sat down, crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Let me ask you something, are you going to Jiangnan?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Leaving tomorrow and serving as a two-way propaganda envoy is actually to go to the mountains and rivers." ”

"Then let's get together!"

Li Yanqing was stunned, "The sixth brother is also going to Jiangnan?" ”

Cao Sheng nodded, "Last night Emperor Ji told me that she wanted to go to Hangzhou to have a good time, and by the way, she settled down in the mansion." ”

"But I'll leave early tomorrow morning, will you be in time?"

"Of course it's time! Just pack up some soft things, it just so happened that Caizhou's fleet came yesterday, and I have already ordered two big ships, and we will go together tomorrow morning. ”

"See you tomorrow morning!"

Cao Sheng saw that Li Yanqing agreed, got up and ran, and almost collided with Hu Qing'er, who was delivering tea.

"Sixth uncle, you don't drink tea anymore." Hu Qing'er saw that he was in a hurry to leave like he had a hot tail, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

"Don't drink it, I'll talk about it next time."

With that, he ran downstairs in a puff of smoke.

"Big brother, what's wrong with him?"

"The two of them are going to Hangzhou to buy a house, and they will go with us tomorrow."

"His wife is the emperor! With them, it's very boring to ......" Hu Qing'er was unhappy, and finally was alone with her eldest brother, but two more people appeared.

..........

Cao Sheng returned to the mansion and reported to the lady: "Okay, let's go together tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Jinnu originally planned to go to Hangzhou next month, but last night she took over the task given to her by her sister-in-law in the palace, and asked her to be responsible for matching Li Yanqing and the fourth Zhao Fujin, Zhao Jinnu changed her plan and changed it to set off south with Li Yanqing tomorrow, and she naturally handed over this task to her husband Cao Sheng.

"He didn't have any suspicions!"

"No, I didn't tell him, the fourth child will go with him."

"Horse, I think it's a little strange, when I told the imperial sister-in-law about this before, she said it was impossible, but yesterday she changed her mind, saying that this is a good thing, and I want to be responsible for matching them, why did you say she changed all of a sudden?"

Cao Sheng thought for a while and said, "I guess this is the meaning of the official family, it should be that the official family wants to make every effort to promote this matter." ”

"Why? Li Yanqing has a wife, and the official family is willing to agree. Zhao Jinnu was a little confused.

"Other officials will definitely not agree, but this is Li Yanqing! The official family now wants to try their best to entrap him, and of course he will not let go of this opportunity. ”

Zhao Jinnu's face suddenly became gloomy, "He wasn't like this before, when he became the emperor, he used his sisters as a tool for harmony, and the man in charge of power didn't have a good thing!" ”

Zhao Jinnu turned around and rushed away angrily, but Cao Sheng touched his chin, he is only a little tasteful now, the official family let him match this matter, I am afraid that the real purpose is to persuade the Cao family.

．．．．．．

Cai, Chen, Ying, the first batch of ships collected by the three states of about 3,000, of which there are a few good ships, Cao Sheng booked three ships are rare good ships, three are 800 stone passenger ships, eighty percent new, exquisite workmanship, the hull is very strong, in the words of the ship boss, the sea can also go, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows the sturdiness of the ship.

In addition to the three passenger ships, there are also two cargo ships, which carry all kinds of luggage, and the housekeeper and two servants also live on the cargo ship.

Five boats were parked at the Bianhe wharf outside Nancheng, where Li Yanqing and Cao Sheng made an appointment to meet, this time Li Yanqing accompanied him with 300 cavalry and 50 female cavalry, and Mo Jun also followed him south.

Mo Jun is no longer Li Yanqing's staff, he was named the Zhengliupin Privy Council, equivalent to the director of the Personnel Department of the Privy Council, and holds the real power of the evaluation and promotion of Privy Council officials.

At dawn, everyone arrived at the Bianhe wharf, only to see that the wharf was full of cages, and the housekeeper Lu of the Horse Mansion was directing several boatmen to carry the boxes on the boat, and seven or eight maids and maids gathered on the side to talk and laugh.

"Steward Lu, is Cao Juma here?" Li Yanqing turned over and dismounted and asked with a smile.

"The pony has just arrived, as if it were on the first boat."

"I'll go see him!"

Li Yanqing walked quickly to the bow of the boat, only to see the curtain of the boat lifted, and a young and beautiful woman walked out of it, Li Yanqing was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, the woman in front of him was the emperor Zhao Fujin,

"Teiji, why are you here?"

Zhao Fujin smiled and said, "I'm also going to Hangzhou, isn't Taiwei Li welcome?" ”

Li Yanqing slapped his head, he was a little confused, Zhao Fujin has been following his sister Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Jinnu is going to Hangzhou, can she not go together?

He was happy in his heart, stepped forward to take Zhao Fujin's hand, and laughed in a low voice: "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to invite you out to play!" ”

"Insincere guy!"

Zhao Fujin glanced at him with disgust, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, blushing and said, "There are people watching on the shore!" ”

"Who's going to look at us?"

As soon as Li Yanqing turned around, he really found that someone was looking at them, Hu Qing'er led the horse and watched them, with doubts in his eyes.

Li Yanqing suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart, he treated Qing'er too thinly, he hurriedly beckoned: "Qing'er, come here!" ”

Hu Qing'er handed over the reins to his subordinates, jumped on the boat quickly, and said with a smile: "What is the eldest brother looking for me?" ”

"Let me introduce you, this is Emperor Yanqing!" Li Yanqing deliberately mentioned the old title of Zhao Jinfu.

"Teiki?"

Hu Qing'er frowned slightly, and instinctively had a kind of resistance in her heart, she didn't like to deal with powerful people like princesses.

"This is my sister-in-law Hu Qing'er, and now she is a female general in the army!" Li Yanqing smiled again and introduced Zhao Jinfu.

Zhao Jinfu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Hu Qing'er's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Qing'er's sister, I have heard of the name for a long time." ”

Hu Qing'er is bold, others respect her for a foot, she respects others, Zhao Fujin is very sincere to her, she is a little ashamed in her heart, so she smiled: "I don't know much etiquette, let Sister Zhao laugh." ”

"Where! With Sister Qing'er here, I immediately felt safe, come! Let's go in and talk. ”

Zhao Fujin also ignored Li Yanqing and dragged Hu Qing'er into the cabin.

Li Yanqing scratched his head, a little in a dilemma, at this time, Cao Sheng's voice came from behind him, "Yanqing, I'm here!" ”

As soon as Li Yanqing turned around, he saw Cao Sheng standing on a boat behind him with sleepy eyes, Li Yanqing walked quickly to the stern, jumped lightly, and jumped onto a boat behind.

"Steward Lu said that the sixth brother was on the boat in front."

"It was originally in front, but I was rushed over by the emperor, and it was inconvenient to live!"

Cao Sheng yawned, "Anyway, there are three ships, why don't we go together!" Call Mr. Mo too, and he can also talk. ”

Li Yanqing nodded, invited Mo Jun to get on the boat, and after a while, the luggage was loaded onto the boat, and seven or eight maids also got on the boat, the boat boss held a penny, Li Yanqing and Cao Sheng took the lead in the boat, and the fleet left the Bianhe River and slowly sailed south.

..........

The fleet will arrive at Yingtianfu the next day, and then enter Bozhou from Yingtianfu, then enter Suzhou, Sizhou, cross the Huai River in Xuyi County and enter Chuzhou, then go south through Yangzhou and enter the Yangtze River along the canal, and then pass through Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Xiuzhou, and finally arrive at the end of the trip, Qiantang County, Hangzhou, with a journey of nearly 2,000 miles, and it will take at least ten days to go by boat.

At this time, it is the middle of May, according to the solar calendar of later generations, it is already June, the weather is already a little hot, but it is not yet summer, and the breeze on the river is blowing, and the sun has a kind of late spring brightness, which is refreshing.

The fleet is splitting the waves, there are a lot of boats in the Bianhe River, but most of them are small boats, although the imperial court is collecting boats, but it is not a forced requisition, many private boats also go to the capital to pick up business, many well-off families rent boats to go south, making the river extremely busy.

Not far from the west of the Bianhe River is the official road, the official road is also crowded with an endless stream of people going south, today is the fifth day of the 500,000 evacuation plan in the capital, but today it seems to have reached the climax of the flow of people to the south, but the evacuation plan has been changed to a relocation plan, so the vast majority of the people will cross the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was indeed a large-scale migration of people from the north to the south, and finally the great economic prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty was achieved.

Perhaps because Zhao Gou had just ascended the throne, he also attached great importance to his reputation, so that the government's relief to the people in the south was very good this time, basically there was a free porridge shed every few miles, as well as a medical tent, and the government also provided donkey carts for the old and young, which gave great help to the elderly and young children.

It is these measures that make it difficult for the people to go south, but they are not displaced, and the people help each other, so there is basically no tragic scene of the people in Hebei who fell into the ditch when they fled.
