"I see... I heard that His Majesty ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to be dispatched from Yangzhou to Jinling. We can follow the troop ship and set off with the soldiers and horses!"
Zhuge Ke immediately said that at present, the docks in Jinling are mainly used by government warships and large ships transporting supplies, and there are very few private merchant ships.
If you want to use the pier, you must obtain permission from the government.
Those who could enter Jinling at this time were all large-scale merchants. Ordinary merchants could only go through the Jiangyin River section and then enter Jinling by land.
As for people in the government, especially officials like Zhuge Ke who work in the central government and have very good family backgrounds,
It is very easy to go to Jinling Pier.
This is not considered using power for personal gain, it can only be said to be the benefits that come with power.
"Well, let's set off together then!"
Qiao Xuan agreed immediately.
His daughter was a queen. In the Daxia system, Qiao Xuan was destined to be unable to become the six ministers and the prime minister of the three provinces. Being able to become the provincial chief envoy was already the limit.
Qiao Xuan himself understood this, so a large part of his energy was devoted to cultivating the family's children.
You will not miss out on the business matters you should get involved in and the benefits you should strive for.
In addition to relying on the emperor, the queen's authority also relies partly on the family outside the palace. If the family's power is too weak, the queen's majesty and authority cannot be sustained.
In the history of the original world, the power of queens and empress dowagers during the Han Dynasty was even comparable to that of the emperor. The reason was that the power of relatives outside the palace was too great, and the internal and external echoes caused the relatives' tails to be unable to lose weight during the Han Dynasty.
By the time of the Song and Ming dynasties, the power of the queen's natal family was not very good, so the queen could only rely on the emperor, so no relatives ever seized power...
In the world of China, in addition to the authority of the emperor, Wang Jing also has personal power, so he doesn't have to worry about his relatives at all.
But Qiao is very conscious.
Apart from his own job, Qiao Xuan basically did not have any say in the affairs of the court, but he also wanted to help the queen, recruit some people outside the palace, and provide connections and necessary support.
When the queen wants to do something in the palace, support from outside the palace is very necessary.
While talking.
Zhuge Ke suddenly changed his expression and looked out the door.
Soon, Qiao Xuan, Wu Yong and others also heard the rapid footsteps coming from outside.
"Master, Your Majesty has sent a decree from Jinling. In three days, the royal family will be moved to the palace. The queen and the prince will also set off together..."
The visitor is a son of Mr. Qiao's family.
"Relocating the palace?"
Qiao Xuan nodded, then quickly reacted, lowered his face and said: "What prince, keep talking nonsense, I will take care of you according to the family law!"
"Yes! The villain made a mistake!"
Cold sweat broke out on the face of this son, and he knelt down quickly.
Qiao Xuan waved his hand, and he immediately took two steps back and left quickly.
In the room, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Zhuge Ke and others seemed to have heard nothing and spoke to each other in low voices.
Why!
Seeing this scene, Qiao Xuan was slightly relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling in his heart. His daughter had clearly given birth to the emperor's eldest son, and he was still the eldest son. Why was he only conferred the title of Prince of Jiangdu County instead of directly becoming the crown prince in one step?
The prince is the true crown prince of the country, half-king.
Shake his head.
Qiao Xuan forcibly calmed down his emotions. If he thought about it carefully, he would understand. His Majesty is only in his twenties now. With his current state, his lifespan is extremely long. Naturally, there is no need to consider the prince's affairs.
Three days later.
The female family members of the Yangzhou Palace, the eldest son of the emperor, the princess, and a large number of salutes were carried to the big ship.
While boarding the ship.
The two children, who looked exquisite and cute, leaned against their mother and looked curiously at the river outside. The Yangtze River was so wide that the edge could not be seen at a glance.
The mist caused the two children to exclaim.
"Mother, are we going to find our father?"
The eldest son of the emperor, who had a relatively low presence in the Great Xia Dynasty, looked away from the river in Da Qiao's arms and asked softly.
He is very young.
But his spiritual wisdom has been opened, especially after being nourished by Daxia Qi in the palace, and coupled with the influence of Wang Jing's bloodline, he was born as a first-level creature. As he gets older, he will naturally step into the second level...
Of course, due to his age, he has only reached the second level of life, and his physique and strength are far inferior to ordinary people.
"You are right, we are going to a new home, and your father is waiting for us at the new home!"
Da Qiao said softly.
While talking, everything that needed to be carried had been put on the ship, and bachelors Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang came to the riverside in person.
"Mother, it's time to go!"
Shang Gong Sijing stepped forward and whispered.
Da Qiao nodded slightly and signaled to start the boat.
The harem system of Daxia was mainly modeled on the system of female harem officials in the Tang Dynasty. Female officials and eunuchs were in charge of the internal affairs of the palace.
Among them, Si Jing was the head of the female officials and was named Shanggong.
She, the chief manager of the harem, seems to have some relationship with the Sima family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she also focused on the Sima family.
However, these did not affect her status in the harem. She still gained the trust of Queen Da Qiao and Princess Xiao Qiao. Even Li Zu'e and Bu Lianshi also respected her.
Outside Jinling City.
Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng came out to greet him.
In addition to welcoming the queen and prince, their main task is to receive soldiers and horses drawn from Yangzhou. These soldiers and horses will temporarily act as defenders to supplement Jinling's defense power.
Because of the close distance.
They did not wait long, as a large number of troop transports and the giant ship on which the queen was riding docked one after another.
The female relatives of the harem disembarked first.
The eunuch in charge had already led many people to wait. After Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng came forward to pay homage to the queen, eunuch Wang immediately stepped forward.
Da Qiao's appearance was like the morning glow, shining brightly. He held the emperor's eldest son in his arms. He looked graceful and graceful. His starry eyes moved slightly. With a glance, the eunuchs, maids, and many officials and soldiers who came to greet him all bowed down.
They worshiped not only the queen, but also the exquisite-looking eldest son of the emperor in Da Qiao's arms...
"The villain pays homage to the empress! Your Majesty knew that the empress was coming, so he specially sent the villain to greet you..."
Manager Wang said respectfully.
"Lead the way!"
Da Qiao said lightly,
Behind her, there are Xiao Qiao, the Zhou sisters, Li Zu'e, Dugu Jialuo and other concubines, as well as thousands of palace maids and strong women.
However, the chief eunuch was very careful in his work and brought a large number of cloud carriages, one of which was the Yuhu that Wang Jing rode when he went out.
Hundreds of carriages slowly entered Jinling City.
Many common people and scholars in the city stood behind the soldiers serving as sentries on both sides of the road, watching the cloud cars filing in.
On several of the cloud cars, Xiao Qiao, who had a lively personality, and Li Zu'e quietly opened the windows and looked at the situation in Jinling City.
Da Qiao is no exception and is also observing.
This may be the place where she will live for decades or even longer.
It doesn’t look as lively and prosperous as Yangzhou.
However, it has a majestic and majestic atmosphere.
