Chapter 77: leave
One day we will all leave our loved ones to bear the wind and rain alone. This is a kind of suffering, and at the same time it is also a kind of tempering of life. The moment he walked out of Chang'an City, Li Yin's heart suddenly felt a little painful. This kind of pain is much like his grandfather's. It's similar to dying, yes, it's the pain of parting from a loved one.
He was born in the 20th century. At the same time, he is also a citizen of Datang, the sixth son of Li Shimin. He thinks alone late at night. Li Yin will think about the reason for staying in Datang. Is it just for fun? No, if it is for fun, he is already a top rich man in the world in the 21st century, where the money is, and the desires of the world can be satisfied. He has been looking for a reason, a reason to stay in the Tang Dynasty, and until Today, he suddenly realized, because in the 21st century he has no home, a home that can give him warmth, a home that can shelter him from wind and rain, and here, the warmth of Concubine Yang, the friendship of Li Ke, the friendship of Li Shimin His love for licking the calf gradually melted his heart, yes, there are still a group of people who love him and love him, and these people are enough for Li Yin to fight for, not to mention, now he has a real wife.
Neither Li Shimin nor Empress Changsun came to see him off. After all, Li Yin still had a big hat of treason on his head, but they dragged Concubine Yang to convey the words to let Li Yin take care. Looking at Concubine Yang, Li Ke, Cheng Huailiang, Lu Boyan, Xiao Rui, and Sizi and Li Zhi who kept crying, they showed a bright smile and rode away.
In the carriage, Cui Yingying was still crying, and she saw Li Yin passing by through the gap in the curtains. At that moment, the determination on Li Yin's face made her move suddenly, and a sense of steadfastness spread in her heart. At this time, the distant Yizhou is no longer scary.
Although some of the servants were dismissed, there were still many people who followed Li Ke to Yizhou. Including craftsmen and the like, there were three or four hundred people. nursing home.
Basically all the things that could be taken away from Prince Liang’s mansion were taken away, and Li Yin who couldn’t be taken away was given to Li Ke. There was no way, after changing the seal, he could change the palace, and Li Yin’s yard was targeted by him. , especially the water supply and drainage system. After trying it out, his eyeballs almost flew out. He cried in front of Li Shimin, saying that he was reluctant to part with Li Min. Moved, he gave him the Liang Palace.
In addition to the set of immovable things, there were some tables, chairs and benches that Li Yin didn’t take. Li Yin basically took the rest, even the mastiff cub that Li Ke gave him.
After waving the whip a few times to urge Honghaier, Li Yin caught up with Qin Huaiyu who was in front of him. On the way to Yizhou this time, he had a difficult task, and he was responsible for the safety of the entire team. With a knife, he guarded the entire team from front to back, and looked at the passing pedestrians and teams from time to time.
Originally, Cui Yingying asked Li Yin to ride in the same carriage with her, but Li Yin refused. Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to appreciate the original and beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty along the way, not to mention that the road they were walking on was still known as the One of the four main roads in the Tang Dynasty, all the way from Neng to Yizhou through the Guanzhong area.
According to historical records, this road was built during the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the land of Shu was invaded by barbarians every year. In order to calm down and conquer the barbarian chiefs there, the Sui Dynasty specially opened up this route. But in the history of the Sui Dynasty, the southwest The power of the powerful chieftains in the border area has not been eliminated, but has become more and more violent.
Among them, the powerful chieftain forces include not only the six tribes in the Erhai region, Yuexizhao, Shilangzhao, Langqiongzhao, Mengshezhao, etc., but also the Xiyuanman who are entrenched in Guangxi. Li Yuan sent Li Jing to conquer the south during the reign of Wude When I was there, I encountered hundreds of thousands of barbarians blocking the way.
After the founding of the Great Tang Dynasty, these barbarians in the southwest surrendered to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but they still dominated one side. After Mengshezhao established the later Nanzhao Kingdom, they invaded Shu many times, captured Yizhou City, and robbed the Tang Dynasty. The population of Datang was tens of thousands.
Tubo in the west is eyeing, Tuyuhun in the north is constantly provoking troubles, aliens are invading in the south, and the Southwest Man in the west is not a peaceful master. Li Yin, the governor of Yizhou, is not so easy to be, but fortunately, Yizhou is in The central part of the Shu region does not border these places. At most, when a war breaks out, you can send troops there, and you can still be safe and sound on weekdays.
It will take at least half a month to get to Yizhou, which is thousands of miles away. Li Yin is not in a hurry, and it is time to travel.
After driving for more than ten days in a row, at dusk one day, the team stopped in front of a post station. This post station was a place dedicated to supplying fodder and providing board and lodging for officials coming and going. He understood that this was all nonsense. The sprinting power of a horse is indeed much stronger than that of a human, but it is not as good as a human with two legs when it comes to long-distance treks, because the time for a horse to eat is definitely longer than the time it takes to walk, and there is still more food in it. Pay attention, not to say that it is enough to feed some grass, but to eat food, which is why it was said that horses would run to death in ancient times, and horses could not bear it at all if they exceeded a mileage.
The team stopped, and Cui Yingying got out of the carriage with her veil covered. This is not Chang'an, so she should be more cautious so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
They sent people to feed the horses, and a group of people entered the post station. After traveling for several days, everyone was sleepy and tired. When they arrived at the post station, Li Yin asked for a few tables. He and Cui Yingying took one, and the others sat in other places After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and after he got used to it, he didn't feel so awkward anymore.
Such a large group of people entered the post station, and the post station Ding hurriedly greeted them. Qin Huaiyu showed the post station "Kanhe", which is a kind of contract in the Tang Dynasty. It was stamped with a seal and divided into two halves. It must be checked, otherwise they will not arrange board and lodging for the officials who come and go. It is also to prevent some people from taking advantage of troubled waters and wasting the country's financial resources. After all, so many post stations are extremely expensive.
After finding out the identities of Li Yin and his party, the post station hurried to the backyard. This post station is not a simple inn model, but a small fortress. It is square and has a tower at each of the four corners. The place where Yan eats is the front yard, and there are several yards behind, where he lives.
Not long after Yi Ding left, a thin, dark-skinned man in a black round collar came in. He was Tong Meng, the post general of the station. After Yi Ding told him Li Yin's identity, he hurriedly greeted him. come out.
"The post general Tong Meng joined His Royal Highness!" Tong Meng bowed to Li Yin, "It's really a blessing for His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to stay in this post!"
Cui Yingying has been familiar with this situation along the way, and these flattering officials all have the same face.
"Excuse me, fellow postman, I don't know where this place belongs?" After seeing all the mountains and rivers, Li Yin felt that it was boring, and he just wanted to go to Yizhou quickly and rest for a while.
"Your Highness, this is already in Mianzhou!" Tong Meng replied.
