Guo Xin's prediction was good. After another two weeks, Liu Zhiyuan issued an edict to all the towns in the Central Plains in Daliang, changing Bianzhou to Tokyo, the country name was still Han, and the reign name was still Tianfu.

The rest, apart from the general amnesty for the whole world and other things that all emperors would do when they were in power, was to pass the edict to the governors of various places and down to the generals and officials, ordering them all to stay within their duties and not change them again.

Guo Xin was not surprised by this. Liu Zhiyuan had just entered the Central Plains from Hedong, and it was obvious that he had not yet fully taken control of all the towns in the Central Plains. The most important thing now was to stabilize people's hearts.

No matter how you say it, the Liu family has naturally become the new royal family in the Central Plains. When the news spread to Taiyuan Mansion, even if the people were no longer surprised that Taiyuan Mansion under their feet had become the land of Longxing for a long time, the army in the mansion The celebration was still held for a while...

By the time of July, vassal towns in Shandong, Henan and other places surrendered one after another, and responsibilities at all levels in Tokyo City began to be gradually established. The Han Dynasty seemed to have stabilized the situation in the Central Plains.

The situation in the Central Plains has become clear. The Khitan in the north has heard of civil strife again, and obviously has no time to look south.

After a few weeks of calm in the Taiyuan Prefecture, a new order came down from Bianliang: Li Hongyi, the commander of the left wing of the Guardian Saint, was ordered to escort the queen of the harem and the civil and military family members of the New Dynasty to Bianliang for resettlement in Beijing. The Fengguo Army has been repairing in Taiyuan Prefecture for nearly two months, and is naturally part of the escort team.

So Guo Xin started to have something to do in the past few days. He not only had to organize his troops in the army, but also helped to pack up the things in Guo's mansion that were going to be moved to Bianliang.

The Guo Mansion was busy. Although Liu Zhiyuan's decree did not specify when he would depart, Empress Li, who was still in Jinyang Palace, seemed to miss the emperor eagerly. Yi's decree requested that she leave Taiyuan Mansion in late July...

The people above slap their heads, but all the busy work falls on the people below. Although the Guo Mansion is not big, it still has some assets. Guo Tong was busy sorting out various documents in the government office, so the task of 'moving' was left to Guo Xin.

Fortunately, Guo Xin exerted his "authority" and called a dozen soldiers from the army to help. In half a day, several large vehicles were loaded in the front yard.

Guo Xin helped Guo Pu lift a large cabinet onto the cart, and then hurriedly tied up the goods on the cart. Then he clapped his hands, took a breath and said, "The last one?"

Guo Pu also wiped his sweat, nodded and said: "It should be gone."

Several soldiers nearby breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, pulled several carts to the corner of the courtyard, and then ran to rest on the stone steps under the eaves.

"This work is more tiring than fighting!"

"I thought Commander Guo wanted us to come here for some good errand. Who knew it was for this."

Regardless of his status, Guo Xin squatted with them to hide from the sun - the sun in the hot summer was really scorching.

Guo Pu handed over a piece of Cattail Fan, and while listening to the laughter of the soldiers, Guo Xin fanned the wind on his face and said: "No matter how tiring this job is, it's just a little sweat. It's better than bleeding on the battlefield." .”

"If Commander Guo rewards us with some money, it will really be better than fighting in battle."

Guo Xin chuckled: "If you want money, go to Bianliang to find an official. These few cars of things are not enough for this small number of people."

"Commander Guo is right, but I don't know if there will be any rewards from us when we get to the Bianliang official's house..."

At this time, the maid came from the inner palace to send a message, saying that Zhang asked Guo Xin to come over.

Guo Xin then patted his butt and stood up, throwing the cattail leaf fan behind him, causing the soldiers to grab it quickly. When Guo Xin saw this, he laughed and cursed: "A bunch of idiots..."

Several servants and maids in the harem were still busy, but all the big things had been moved out, leaving only bottles and jars of odds and ends.

Guo Xin went inside and saw Mrs. Zhang, who was also instructing her maids to pack and pack the treasured silk materials.

"I've seen my mother. The child has already taken care of himself."

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly and called Guo Xin forward: "Fortunately, Brother Youyi is at home, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with this alone."

"It's what children should do."

Mrs. Zhang sat casually on a box and looked around the courtyard, her face a little sad: "It's just so many years that have passed by in a blink of an eye."

Guo Xin also followed her gaze and saw that the courtyard was fairly clean, but the courtyard door creaked when opening and closing, the courtyard wall had begun to peel off inconspicuous places, and the doors and windows were originally made with fine workmanship. Now it has become thicker and darker. Although it is not to the point where the walls are collapsed and the courtyard is ruined, every detail shows the age of the house in front of you.

Guo Xing was just immersed in the desolation of the passing years, but Zhang seemed to suddenly think of something funny, and laughed softly: "I think when I came here, Brother Yi was still a child following Brother Rong. It's really weird. To think that he has become such a big man now."

Guo Xin said with a smile: "There will be a long time to come, and my mother can still see those boys like Feng Chao grow up."

"I really hope that one day... By the way, I almost forgot about the real thing. I asked Brother Yi to come here because I want you to go to Brother Rong's house to have a look. Your sister-in-law doesn't have a man in the house now, so we should go and help. "

"What mother said makes sense," Guo Xin patted his head and was so busy that he forgot about Guo Rong's family: "I will go to the eldest brother's house to have a look."

Guo Rong's mansion is next to Shanjing Temple, not far from Xingyefang. It is said to be a mansion, but in fact there are only two entrances. It can be regarded as a separate courtyard at most. However, Guo Rong has been guarding the border in the north these years and is not in Taiyuan. His wife Liu is the only one at home all year round, so he really doesn't need a big yard.

Guo Xin was not very familiar with Mrs. Liu. He only knew that she was born in a general family and had married Guo Rong very early. However, because they had been separated for many years, they did not give birth to a son, Guo Yi, until the year before last.

Liu was alone at home, so she was naturally lonely. Fortunately, the two families were close after all. Liu often came to visit Zhang, and Zhang occasionally came to Shanjing Temple to worship Buddha and help Liu along the way.

Guo Xin and Guo Pu came to Guo Rong's house and saw that the door was closed. After Guo Pu knocked, there was no response. After a long time, an old woman came out from behind the door and asked, "Who are the two gentlemen?"

Guo Xin stepped forward and smiled slightly: "I am Erlang of the Guo family. Please go and inform my sister-in-law that I will leave south to Bianliang today. I came to see what work my sister-in-law has to do."

The old woman called out and led Guo Xin and Guo Pu into the front yard: "Master, please wait here."

Guo Xin observed boredly in the courtyard. The front yard was not big. A few feet of land against the wall was planted with flowers and plants. There were also some rusty armored weapons piled in the corner. They were obviously used by Guo Rong. Passed.

He could see that there were not many servants to serve Mrs. Liu at home, and he couldn't help but imagine that Mrs. Liu was alone in the house in the past. She probably had nothing to do like him at this time, squatting there playing with flowers and plants as a pastime.

He thought about it and moved closer. There was only an unknown small yellow flower blooming in the flower bush. It didn't look like a rare species, but more like a wild flower that could often be seen in the wild...
