Xue Lang was a man who had come to Beijing to offer auspicious fortune. The court treated him more warmly and attentively than the officials who normally came to Beijing. It was sunset when he arrived at the wharf. He got off the official ship in the sunset and the carriage waiting by the wharf.
Ligang came to Xue Lang to say hello: ”young Yang, here, the old husband will be separated from Youyang.”
To return to Chang'an City, Ligang wants to return to the saint Li Yuan for his life. Xue Lang needs to go to the post house to rest and complete before the saint is called. Xue Lang saluted to Ligang: ”I will take care of him all the way. When the affairs at hand are over, we should go to the door and thank you.”
”I will sweep the seats for him,” Li Gang laughed and joked at him. At that time, Xue's meeting will be a past, and I think it's time to have a new official title to call Youyang. ”
Xue Lang said: ”however, Xue Youyang is still xueyouyang, and there will be no difference.”
Li Gang laughed: ”OK, the old man will wait for young yang to come to the door, and go!”
”Send Li Gong. Li Gong walks slowly.”
Separated from Ligang, the sweet potato on board was already carried to the carriage. Qian Jiulong said: ”please go to the carriage. The sage has ordered people to prepare a place. Some escort Xue consultative will go over and rest for a while, and will meet the saint tomorrow.”
”I have money, general.”
”I dare not. Xue consulted and asked to get on the carriage.”
Li Gang has the imperial order of Saint Li Yuan, and can enter the city night after night. Xue Lang is here to offer auspicious fortune. It is necessary to stay outside the city post house now. You can enter the city tomorrow. Officials from other places will come to Beijing for the call of his majesty saint. Before they are summoned, they can only live in the post house.
There are many post houses in Tang Dynasty. The post station industry in Tang Dynasty was also very developed. According to statistics, the number of people engaged in this industry reached hundreds of thousands. It can be said that the post station opened wherever the territory of Tang Dynasty went.
There is a post house in a few miles beside the official road for the rest and replacement of horses and so on. Ancient officials went to work in other places or officials were demoted. The court expressly stipulated that there were several posthouses a day. There was a record that officials who were dismissed needed to catch up with ten posthouses a day.
Xuelongjin was not required to rush several post stations a day, mainly because he was afraid to go too fast and damaged the sweet potato. The opinions of Princess Pingyang and Ligang were all for Xue Lang to watch and run, so that the consumption of sweet potato transportation should be reduced. Therefore, it is only by water transportation, not by land.
I wonder if there is any reason why Princess Pingyang is not used to riding a carriage. I don't know how your royal highness is in the reed gate. According to the day, Liu Hei should be attacking the state county in Shandong Province, and then he will fight Henan and Hebei after he conquers the state and county in Shandong Province. Weizeguan should be safe at this time.
I hope he will bring the auspicious future and all the best, and Princess Pingyang will be all right.
Xue Lang wishes in silence at the bottom of his heart. It is necessary to think of Princess Pingyang's ability to go well. What should be paid more attention to is Xue Lang himself, who has participated in such a big scene for the first time in her life In fact, some heart is empty, calm, real man should withstand the test of the big scene.
”Xueunion, the post house is here. Please get off the carriage.”
Xue Lang thought diverged for a while, and unconsciously arrived at the post house. Qian Jiulong had asked him to get off the carriage outside. Chang Jian opened the curtain outside and helped Xue Lang get off the carriage.
The post house is already strictly guarded. The whole post house, except the prime minister and the official, is the soldier brought by Qian Jiulong, and there is no other person. Xue Lang and Qian Jiulong watched people move sweet potatoes into the warehouse of the post house --
General Qian, please send someone to bring some torches. I want to see the situation of sweet potato and see if there is any damage on the way
”Good. Come on, take the torch! ”
”Here.”
In a short time, several soldiers brought fire handles to them --
when the sweet potato was in the basket, Xue Lang thought about the bumpy situation on the way, and let people bump thick dry thatch. When he drove on the way, he often asked people to cut grass and cover the hot sun with sweet potato.
