Chapter 210: Princess Pingle, the past
Marando's original words were not fluent, but everyone understood what she meant.
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces turned their heads to look at Fu Xingjian, and they were all muttering in a low voice.
Fu Xingjian went to the army for training when he was a teenager, and it was not until he was twenty-two years old that he returned to Kyoto from the army. During that time, he had a lot of military achievements and was very respected by the previous emperors. However, since this person returned to Beijing, he has been alone, and he doesn't even have a concubine by his side, so everyone only thinks that he has no time to be in the army, so he is delayed. After arriving in the capital, many people wanted to marry their daughter to the prince of Zhongsu, but in the end, Su Juan made a lifelong agreement with him.
Could it be that before Fu Xingjian returned to Beijing, he had a dewy relationship with a foreign princess in the army?
Everyone's eyes flickered back and forth between Fu Xingjian and Ma Landuo, and their eyes showed a little suspicion. Marando is beautiful, I think her mother was also a famous beauty back then, right......? How is this name so similar to the title of the princess of the Central Plains?
Emperor Shou also thought so, he held his chin and pondered: "Princess Pingle, why is this name so familiar?"
"Your Majesty has forgotten that when the first emperor was still alive, he once canonized a princess to marry to Udan, and married the king of Udan. At that time, a woman of appropriate age was selected from the clan and canonized as a princess, the daughter of King Huainan, and her title was Princess Pingle. However, after Princess Pingle married to Udan, King Udan fell ill and died, and the new king succeeded to the throne, and she had no news. Xie Anyang reminded in a low voice behind Emperor Shou.
After he said this, Emperor Shou immediately wanted to nod again and again: "Yes, there is such a thing." โ
The princess Pingle who was canonized back then was still his cousin when he was a proton in Kyoto, and that cousin also grew up with him when Princess Pingle married Wudan.
The name of that cousin, he still remembers, took the meaning of Changle Weiyang, and was named Wei Changle.
Could it be that cousin Wei Changle?
Could it be that Fu Xingjian and Wei Changle met in Beijun?
The doubts in Emperor Shou's heart deepened a little, and he turned his head and asked Fu Xingjian: "Fu Qing, what does Ma Landuo mean?"
At this moment, Emperor Shou was no longer the gentle monarch, his face was full of slaughter, and the aura that invisibly emanated told Fu Xingjian that he was still the high monarch, a person who could take his life. The huge coercion made the cold sweat on Fu Xingjian's back trickle down, and his face turned pale, obviously he could deny it in one sentence, but for some reason, he just couldn't say that sentence.
After a while, Fu Xingjian turned his head stiffly and looked at Ma Landuo, he looked very focused, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of the person in front of him in his heart.
Fu Xingjian closed his eyes, and in Ma Landuo's expectant gaze, he said slowly: "No." I don't know any princess Pingle, and I've never been to Sunset Mountain, let alone the general on Sunset Mountain. After speaking, he turned around to face Emperor Shou and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know why she said this, please forgive your Majesty." โ
Marando showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, clenched his fists, and didn't say a word.
Emperor Shou glanced at the small statue in Fu Xingjian's hand, and a hint of ridicule appeared in the corner of his eyes.
At this moment, he was completely sure that Fu Xingjian was lying!
However, Emperor Shou was not in a hurry to expose Fu Xingjian immediately, and the old bustard of Yanzilou had not yet come to check Ma Landuo's identity, so he asked Ma Landuo with great interest: "Don't you still have a token in your hand? โ
Ma Landuo showed hesitation, but she knew the rules of the Central Plains, if she didn't give it, she would resist the decree, and she would lose her head, so she immediately broke it down with a sad face and handed it over to Xie Anyang. Xie Anyang held the small sleeve pocket that was still close to his body with residual warmth in both hands, walked up the steps quickly, and sent the things to Emperor Shou.
Emperor Shou unfolded and looked at it, then raised his eyes to look at Fu Xingjian, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the dragon balls on the dragon chair.
Such a move made Fu Xingjian feel weak for a while, did Emperor Shou really find out?
Just when Fu Xingjian was worried, Emperor Shou smiled softly, changed the topic and asked Ma Landuo: "You just mentioned Princess Pingle, is Princess Pingle your mother?"
No wonder looking at Marando in addition to being beautiful, she is also vaguely familiar, if it is really her cousin's daughter, she can't leave her bloodline, after all, she is also a member of the royal family, and it is probably not good to be out.
"Princess Pingle?" Ma Landuo looked dazed: "Who is that?"
Helpless, Mei Ruanyi had to explain this to her in Hu language, it turned out that in order to find this person, Ma Landuo had to read it several times every night, and she couldn't let it go in her sleep, her mother taught her this sentence to inquire about the whereabouts of this person, she memorized a rolling melon, and she could use it when she went out to inquire every day, but she never knew that Princess Pingle might be her mother, and she always thought she was her mother's friend!
Emperor Shou said slowly: "How much do you know about this Princess Pingle and the general on Sunset Mountain?"
"Does Your Majesty want to listen?" This sentence was very soft, and seeing Emperor Shou nodding, Ma Landuo also continued: "If you really want to say it, you have to go back to that summer twenty years ago." โ
Twenty years ago, Chimeng rose to prominence and established the country by force, defeating the border guards of the Great Wei Dynasty with heavy casualties. The king of Great Wei swore to the death that he would not agree to the request of the Chimeng State and demanded that Great Wei make offerings to Wudan. At that time, the first emperor was in charge, and after reading the chapter, he scolded bitterly, and immediately gathered his vassal states and held a small meeting.
The theme of this conference is how to save a country that is at risk of falling apart!
However, this time the court meeting failed to change anything, and under the strong opposition of the Lordship and faction, coupled with the complicated and volatile situation in the country, the first emperor had to temporarily agree to Chimeng's request. On the other hand, the first emperor advocated fighting, and the best to fight Chimeng could not turn over for 20 years, so after verbally agreeing, the first emperor actively sent capable generals to guard the pass to the south, and lobbied several countries around Chimeng, hoping that these people would work with the Great Wei to achieve the ultimate goal of strangling Chimeng.
The first emperor did it very successfully, and as soon as the news was released, people from the royal family outside the Saiwai Dynasty immediately sent a letter to Kyoto to express their intention to marry.
Among them, Udan is inside.
Xian Di thought about it, and chose a suitable ally among this group of friendly troops, and selected three women from the clan to be canonized as princesses, and married Wudan, Xiliang and Dawan.
Wei Changle was among them, and the first emperor named her Princess Pingle, and for the short-term peace of the Great Wei, she married Wudan.
She is a woman with no wishes, born in the royal family, she has long had the consciousness of sacrificing her life's happiness, and after receiving the holy decree, she has never had any resentment, and after bidding farewell to her parents, she dressed up and set off for Udan on an auspicious day.
According to the practice of the Great Wei Dynasty, before the princess of Heqin stepped out of the country, the maidservant girl had to fill a jar of soil from her hometown with earthen jars and take it to other countries to show that she would not forget her homeland. Out of the Jueyan Pass, it entered the vast yellow sand, and from here, it was no longer the territory of the Great Wei.
The wedding vehicle stopped in front of the national border, Wei Changle was helped out of the carriage by the maidservant, and after setting up the table to worship heaven and earth here, the maidservant girl used a small jar to fill the loess of her hometown, she stood up by the table, and suddenly felt melancholy in her heart, and couldn't help but look back at her hometown. The walls of Jueyan Pass are majestic and tall, and she can be stopped in a foreign land from now on, Wei Changle couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and tears rolled down in an instant.
Suddenly, the gates of the city opened, and a man and a horse galloped from the Absolute Goose Pass, stopping in front of her.
On horseback was a handsome young man, he reined in the horse and turned over and asked, "Weichen is the general of the Absolute Goose Pass, dare to ask if it is Princess Pingle's Luan?"
"Who are you?" asked the maid alertly.
She was not wearing the red dress she was married to at that time, she was standing in the crowd in a plain robe, and the people who came obviously did not recognize her, looked around the crowd for a while, looked at her face, smiled, and turned her head.
This smile, accompanied by the sunshine, was a heroic posture that Wei Changle had never seen before, her heart couldn't help beating violently, she turned her head away with a red face, but quietly glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
The general smiled: "Wechen has already said it, Wechen is the guard general of the Absolute Goose Pass, surnamed Fu." When the brothers in the Absolute Goose Pass heard that it was Princess Luan who drove from here to Wudan, they all said that they had never seen it, and they did not know the princess's face. I just want to see the princess, if I can't see it, it doesn't matter, ask the princess to give an item to pay homage to the brothers, but also to fulfill the brothers' wishes. I just wonder if the princess wants to?"
This servant girl couldn't be the master, so she had to turn her head to look at Wei Changle and wait for Wei Changle to come up with an idea.
Wei Changle thought about it, then nodded, motioned to the maid to take out a set of ornaments she put in the carriage, stood up again, handed over a silver ticket with a large denomination to the general, and said with a smile: "It's useless to keep this kind of thing, the princess means to invite the brothers to drink, and also to reward the brothers for their hard work." โ
The man didn't doubt him, accepted the things sent by the maidservant, and also took the silver ticket handed over by Wei Changle, thanked him again and again, and then left.
After this person left, Wei Changle couldn't help but be a little depressed, and at a glance, he actually had some charming thoughts about this person.
She knew that this was wrong, but she was soft, but she couldn't give it up.
The carriage gradually approached Udan and the convoy of the wedding also mixed in, and at this moment, an accident occurred.
In the desert, horse thieves are rampant, how many gold, silver and jewelry, how many treasures and jade, and how many treasures are sent by the Great Wei to marry, these things make the horse thieves in the desert ready to move, and the convoy is targeted by the horse thieves as soon as they get out of the goose pass. The horse thief followed all the way, and finally made a move in front of an oasis.
The horse thief robbed the property, and when he saw that there were many women in the convoy, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, so he started the idea of Wei Changle and others.
