Ermazidan nodded, solemnly colored, took out Zhang Tuoyin's dossier, word by word, and recited aloud, she was still a newborn calf before, but at this moment, she was like a superior who worships the head of mountains and rivers.

"Gongzi quelled the war between Qiang and Wei, sympathized with my Qiang people, and accepted the hearts of my people. After a month of hard work, the gods witnessed that I Qiang and Wei signed an alliance, and in the future, the Qiang people would be included in Sichuan and Shu and be dispatched by Shu officials, but the customs and royal government needed to protect the power of our Qiang king (Note 1). Today, the covenant has been decided, and the blood is an alliance, and the Wei people and the Qiang people are at peace, and they are all happy. ”

Ermazidan paused and glanced at Jiang Li, who was still leaning lazily in the circle chair without a trace of expression on his face, and then the woman withdrew her gaze and read again.

"I, Erma Zidan, have been blessed by the divine will of heaven and all things, and have been revered as the Qiang Shibi (Note 2). But now, Qiang and Wei have become a state of brothers, and in order to mark the sincerity of the friendship between the king of Qiang, I have been specially sent to follow the son as a Shibi, spread the goodness of the Qiang people, and be of the same heart with the two races. The gods bear witness and must not be violated. ”

Ermazidan took a deep breath, and in accordance with the etiquette of the Central Plains, he knelt down to Jiang Li and bowed to the head, bowed his head to the ground, and his serious little face was very respectful.

"Ben Shibi, no, Erma Zidan has been loyal to the prince since then, and he was sent by the officials of Shu. ”

Everyone in the hall quietly watched the woman salute, unconsciously straightening their waists, although the covenant is a "brother and friend", but everyone understands that this is just a political game of "both sides want to save face".

After more than half a month, the Shu army won the Qiang people in a battle. After the war, he helped the people to build houses and distribute rice and grain, no matter what the Qiang king and Qiang officials were, the Qiang people returned to their hearts.

Considering that the lips and teeth are cold, especially the frontier, Great Wei did not want to really destroy Qiang, and Qiang was unable to fight to the end, so he made a good alliance on paper, which ended this war that lasted for no benefit to both sides.

On the surface, although the winner has a good reputation, and the loser is not ashamed, but secretly, after all, it is Qiang who loses, and the king of Qiang also has the strength to see, and consciously sends his own clan "under one person, above ten thousand" Shibi, one side is to show sincerity, and the other side is also as a hostage.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhen's face was filled with pride: "Although King Qiang is a barbarian, he also knows the rules of the chess game. He's a smart guy. ”

"Mr. Fronon is funny. Ermazidan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Since it is already a brotherly state, it is still a barbarian." I'm afraid it's very inappropriate. ”

Liu Zhen smiled slightly contemptuously: "The little girl has a hard mouth." The covenant is nothing but a face-saving exercise. Putting aside the imaginary, winning in the war is the master and losing the slave, what attitude should you have, can you not see the situation clearly? ”

Ermazidan's jaw was slightly raised, and he said loudly: "I Qiang lost, but I didn't lose this bone." Even if I can't win against Wei, my Qiang people are all heroes, and if they don't fight to the death, they can also make Dawei lose a piece of meat. Being able to make an alliance with Great Wei is not because we are afraid, but because we are worried about the people. The war is raging, whether you win or lose, it is the people who suffer. We do not want to suffer the people for our own royal inheritance, but we take care of the covenant and offer the sincerity of our people. ”

The rebuttal was unhurried and clear, and the woman's eyebrows and eyes were bright, and she was not hostile, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was clear-boned, and her face changed slightly.

"Nonsense! My Central Plains is a state of etiquette, and the people's livelihood and society still use you to teach?" Liu Zhen stared, and his tone aggravated the misconduct.

However, Ermazidan still had a calm face, but her pupils became brighter, like clouds in the sky, so clear that she reflected all the states of the world, and any heart was like dust in front of her.

"It is the sincerity of Qiang to be able to send me, and I only ask Dawei to be of the same heart with me. Otherwise, I have the mercy to bend my back, and I reserve the right to sharpen my bones into a sword at any time. ”

Word by word, loud and sound. The woman's figure was thin and immature, but she instantly had supreme power, the sun, moon and stars flashed under her eyes, the homeland of rivers and mountains was carried by her shoulders, and finally she protected behind her, and it was millions of Qiang people.

Grasshoppers can also shake trees. Starlight can also reflect the sun. In a corner of the barbarian projectile land, you can also count the romantic characters.

The corners of Liu Zhen's lips twitched, and he was about to refute, when he suddenly heard a sword sound from above-

"Enough. ”

It turned out that Jiang Li raised his fingers and gently knocked on the blade of the sword, the voice was not loud, but it was like an order that could not be disobeyed, so that everyone retracted their necks and became dumb.

Jiang Li raised his eyes again, glanced at the woman, and said lightly: "If you sincerely submit to my Wei, then I Wei will definitely give you enough face." Whether it is for the people or the country, this son will never break his promise. ”

"Childe is wise!" Liu Zhen and dozens of officials bowed down, and the mountain roared like thunder.

Ermazidan burst out with a bright smile, even on a serious occasion, she showed two rows of broken rice teeth, her lips curved and her eyes narrowed, and she smiled like a child.

"Okay!

The spring breeze entered the temple, and the spring of Jiannan also came. The abyss of the hidden dragon rises in the wind, sends me the real dragon out of Shuchuan, fights Kyushu, and is the king of the world!

The overall situation is open, the chess game is final, if you want to level the world, who else will I be!

At the same time, Chang'an. Somewhere on a small hill in the middle of nowhere.

Although it is a small hill, it is also green and green, with birds singing and flowers, and the scenery is not bad. A separate residence in the mountains, it is also a carved dragon and embroidered phoenix, and it is a large family at a glance from a distance.

And a wing room in this building. Li Jingting looked at the woman on the couch, frowning: "Sister Xian, why are you so sick?"

Princess Jingxian curled up in the quilt, her already skinny body, only arched a small ball, revealing half of her miserable little face, and her sunken eye sockets were two marks of blue and black.

This is no longer the once delicate daughter of Wei Qianjin, but just a terminally ill and decrepit old man.

"Brother Huang, it's not that you're sick like this, it's that your fate has come to this. There is no need for a doctor. Princess Jingxian struggled to squeeze out a sentence, and she couldn't catch her breath.

Li Jingting hurriedly tightened the corners of her back for her, and persuaded again and again in distress: "Don't say it." Take care of it, don't think about anything now, take care of your body. ”

Princess Jingxian smiled wryly: "After he left...... And I fell ill with it. It's just a press, a pressure with a little hope left...... However, when they met again, he already had someone else by his side, and he made a choice...... There's no point in me holding on......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Jingting pretended to be angry and gently covered her mouth, "You still have this king, your mother, and Li Zhiye's husband, and you will have children in the future." How can you be willful and evaluate the rest of your life like that. ”

However, when she heard Li Zhiye's words, Princess Jingxian immediately turned white in pain: "Don't mention him...... Even if I die here, I don't want to see him again...... After getting married, he never approached me, and he never looked at me directly, I am a royal princess, but in his Li Mansion, but even the most inferior old mother is not as good as ...... No one paid attention to me, no one spoke to me, and I stayed in my room like the living dead all day long...... Count the spiders hanging from the beams of the house...... Count, count, count......"

"That brute actually treated you like this! Why don't you say it! Tell this king, or tell your mother! I am a dignified princess of Wei, and I am still afraid of him Longxi Li?" Li Jingting was furious, and his fists were clenched.

Princess Jingxian's bitter smile became thicker and thicker, and she shook her head weakly: "What is the imperial brother's anger? Didn't the imperial brother also approve this marriage back then? Was it only Li Zhiye who pushed me into hell?"

A soft word, with a touch of resentment, made Li Jingting's pupils shrink suddenly.

His fire immediately dissipated, his whole body trembled, his fists hung down, and a helpless and sad guilt enveloped his pale face: "You're right...... My mother and I are both accomplices......"

exegesis

1. Covenant: Retain the power of the Qiang king, referring to the Tang Dynasty's fetters system. The Tang Dynasty administered the frontiers under the feudal system, and the prefectures and counties established in the areas under the military power of the Tang Dynasty were hereditary by tribal leaders, and their internal affairs were autonomous, and symbolic tributes were made, but they had some responsibilities, such as loyalty to the Central Plains government, non-annexation of other feudal units and inland prefectures and counties, and the provision of troops as required, etc., which were actually regarded by the Central Plains regime as part of the territory.

2. Shibi: The religious priest of the primitive religion of the Qiang nationality calls himself "Xu", and now the Qiang people live in the area, especially along the Minjiang River and Zagunao River in the south and west of Wenchuan County in northwest Sichuan, Duangong calls himself "Shizhuo", and is called "Shibi", referred to as "Bi", and "Duangong" in Chinese.
