Chapter 125: A Storm
After all, the farming culture has the incomparable superiority of the nomadic culture, even if there has been a situation in the Central Plains falling into the hands of the nomads, it is necessary to accept the integration of agricultural civilization in order to maintain its rule. As early as when the Beirong tour group was still visiting Beijing, some leaders had a strong interest in and admiration for the advanced characteristics of the Central Plains. At that time, he proposed to make peace, but was amicably refused. It doesn't matter, the steppe peoples who can fight wolves have never lacked patience and resilience. So, after returning to Beirong, the letters of the envoys continued to be delivered, and the ministers of the four translators had never been so busy.
Three times in a row to send envoys to ask for peace, all of them were refused, but they were defeated and fought repeatedly, and they persevered, and there was a kind of stunned spirit that I just wanted to marry the princess of Daxia. Moreover, the envoy team is getting bigger and bigger every time, and the gifts they bring are also more and more abundant. This time, the king of Beirong's North Courtyard came in person, and the envoy group of 100 people added hundreds of rare treasures, and β‘β‘ Liangma came together to fully show his sincerity in asking for marriage. The Great Xia Dynasty immediately fryed.
"Now that my Great Xia country is rich and strong, and there is enough food and grass, how can I do such a thing that will lose the prestige of the country?" The voice of the main battle faction was like thunder, and they refused to give up: "At the beginning of the Great Xia, the country was difficult, and it was a last resort to seek peace to seek a turnaround. β
Lord and faction: "My lord's words are wrong, at the beginning, the β‘β‘ emperor had millions of people, and the army of tigers and wolves was not allowed to surround the Rong clan and destroy it, not to mention that now it has been peaceful for a long time, and people's hearts are comfortable?" Out of a district of women, and I have a hundred years of peace in the Great Xia, the loss is very small and the benefit is great, and Ming Jun did it. β
"You are a young man who has nothing to fear! How can the comfort of the country be pinned on a woman? If there is a war, we will be martyred for the country, and we will die for ourselves, and you will stay where the sky is high. If we don't take advantage of the strength of my Great Xia to expel them far away, I am afraid that after they slow down, it will be our elbow trouble! β
"You reckless man with no ink! I only know that I have fought hard, so why don't you look at the people's property? It's rare to live a good life, how can you say give up? Beirong's harmony is sincere, and it does not interfere with the compensation for land cession, what does it have to do with the dignity of the country? If it means refusal, it will only show that we are a small family in Daxia. When war is triggered, we are the sinners of the nation. β
"You're cowardly!"
"You're blind!"
"You're so lazy!"
"You are brave!"
"You are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"You're lustful!" ββ
The emperor sat silently on the Nine Dragons coiled red gold beating seat, with a blank expression: My heart is so tired. Then he slowly, slowly bent over, and Dingguo Gong glanced at the corner of his eye, silently, silently stepped back a little-
Then, a boot flew over the court, and when the two adults were about to make a move, they leaned back at the same time, and with a bang, the boot hit the gorgeous dragon pillar. The churning was like a morning meeting in a vegetable market, and it immediately fell silent.
The emperor looked at Yuan Muyun, and then turned his head to look at Liu Yang: "King Qin, you say." β
Liu Yang looked at Yuan Muyun, and then looked up at his father, who was sitting with a straight waist, "Harmony." β
"Wait!" The main battle faction that was a big surprise
"Wait!" Deeply ashamed diehards
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!" The panicked Qin Wang Party.
The Emperor silently bent down again to take off his other bootβand the court was once again rapidly quiet.
He looked at Dingguo Gong: "Yuan Qing, you say." β
"First of all: it is not a shame to be friendly in our dominant situation, on the contrary, it shows the graceful and broad attraction of the rich and beautiful people of Great Xia. This is not a kiss, to be precise, it is called a marriage. It's not that we sacrifice the princess for safety, it's the other party who comes to ask for marriage. Secondly, it is absolutely useless to provoke Beijung. What does the Tibetan in the west think, what does the Yuanqiang in the northwest think, and the elephant country in the south and Goguryeo in the northeast. Since the history of the Central Plains, this has been the case, Huaxia Xing is barbarian and self-subdued, and the Central Plains is in trouble, and all sides are moving. Again, Daxia still has to have this kind of bearing, the other party's sincerity is still fulfilled, and the determination is unshakable. We always think that the barbarians are wolves and cannot be cultivated, but now that they have the intention of yearning for it and the will to transform the people, we should give it a chance. If they can know that gentleness, courtesy, frugality, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness can be achieved, wouldn't it be a merit for all generations? Our princess is the stone of asking for directions, representing the beauty of my summer uniform, the greatness of etiquette, the prosperity of culture, the grandeur of products, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight. β
"So?"
"Let's go." ββ
So, the harem fryer. The emperor, who had just been noisy in the court, walked into Yong'an Palace with one foot and one foot shallow, and was hugged by the queen and the second princess and cried. This side has not been appeased yet, and the princess cried with the three princesses who had just been titled Long'an, and suddenly there was a lot of noise and quarrels, which was even worse than the court.
The poor emperor was surrounded by a crowd of women and caught in the middle - his wives and daughters were now very experienced in dealing with him, hugging his waist and holding his arms and shoulders and thighs, he could not move, and he could not throw away his boots.
"Your Majesty, your majesty, the concubine has been diligent and diligent for many years, she doesn't compete for favor, she doesn't make mistakes, and she doesn't expect Her Majesty to hurt much, but Long An is innocent, this poor child is honest and delicate since she was a child, how can she live in a place like Saibei? Your Majesty, please, I should be a concubine once. The princess, who has always only known silence and self-preservation, opened her mouth to make a request to the emperor for the first time, and her heart ached as if she was about to faint in minutes.
She knew that although the queen was also worried, the princess would never go to kiss, it was precisely she who was not favored, and the third princess who inexplicably provoked the emperor and the king of Qin some time ago was very dangerous.
The queen is also troublesome, the shepherdess has always had more strength than other deep palace ladies, and at the moment she hugged one of the emperor's arms, and pinched the soft flesh of his waist with one hand, which made the emperor grin. She doesn't know what the international situation is, she only knows that the princesses of the right age in the palace are Chang'an and Long'an, and Chang'an is in front, round by round, just on the wheel: "I don't care what you want to do, and I don't care if you are Beirong or Nanrong, my daughter must not marry so far, oops, my good Jing'an was casually pointed out by you to marry, and my King Qin opened a mansion outside early, pity me for being lonely and lonely on weekdays, Chang'an can still talk, hey, you are so ruthless." β
Infected by this tragic atmosphere, Chang'an and Long An hugged and cried on one thigh, and the Ninety-Five Emperor instantly became a black-hearted thief looking for a tooth wife to sell his daughter.
The emperor is also speechless, where is this! Where can I use my princess? Forget about the queen, she was born without knowledge, princess, what are you making trouble here has not stopped, and there is a decree from Yongning Palace, and the queen mother summoned her. As a result, he finally got rid of the wolves, and fell into the tiger's mouth again.
The Queen Mother, who was thin and shriveled but had never looked immovable, had never been so angry, she was almost a strand of hair spewing out of her anger, and when she saw such a big, father's son again, she almost wanted to slap him and kneel in the ancestral hall like he did when he was a child.
"You don't make it, you don't make a profit! Why did you tell you to come? The wolf heart of the Rong people, be cautious! It's good that you have to trade with each other, it's not enough to have a mutual market, you have to show off your national prestige! It's okay now, I have to be close again, the humiliation that I didn't easily break off in your father's generation has been extended today! What kind of face do you give me to meet the departed emperor! The queen mother was heartbroken, and was firmly supported by the palace maid, and the dragon's head crutches knocked on the dark green Fushou Lianfeng carpet: "I warned you early in the morning, build the Great Wall, build a fortress, store more grain, and add more guards!" No matter how you keep the Central Plains safe, now you see, look, the streets are full of Hu people's clothes, smelling of hairy blood, what has become of Shangjing in Great Xia? And what kind of fight dance bonfire dance, not into the body is not in the body, not in the body! β
After the Queen Mother's series of words, she couldn't breathe, panting as if she was about to faint. The two palace maids stroked their chests and patted their backs. The emperor looked at his wife like this, and knelt down helplessly.
"At the beginning, the siege of the Boneless Mountain almost damaged my Great Xia Dragon Vein, so I had to provide New Year's coins with my relatives. Later, there were wars and peace between the two sides, and Beirong was capricious. If you are not of my race, how can you be like a family? If it can't be controlled, then virtue can't be conceived. How could you be so naΓ―ve? Do you know that the mourning family has been waiting, waiting for you to regain the bloody nature of your youth, and take my Daxia boy to defend the family and the country, and be ashamed of the snow, but you are good, what else have you done in addition to the defense of the city twenty-five years ago? β
The emperor just pursed his lips and kept silent, did not admit his mistakes and did not resist, and his old face scolded as you scolded, and eighty kilograms were beaten as you wanted. Then he turned his head, and he was still the same - he was also very experienced in dealing with his own wife.
In short, I don't know who the big thing happened from the sky, and everyone was very excited, excited and frightened. Shuheng was also panicking, at least looking panicked, but not for the sake of harmony but for the etiquette training class. She, the royal etiquette training class has finally begun.
The one in front of her is really worthy of being the most ferocious, looking at her smile kindly and credible, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, she raised her fingers elegantly, teasing the government and chatting about noble girls, and her red lips opened and closed as if there was a blood-stained cherry. "County Lord, please come here."
Shuheng is very well-behaved and obedient.
She firmly believes that she can't fault the blessings of today, from the swing of her skirt to the curve of her waist to the height of her chin. Don't let her fly away in the past, that is actually bohemian and love freedom, and she doesn't want to restrain herself. If you want to force her to be real, Shuheng will definitely not lose face and make three phases.
However, he was still dissatisfied, "Wrong county lord, you are the master, I am a servant, because of the identity of etiquette, you have to salute, but you don't have to be so respectful." β
Shuheng looked up in "surprise" and "ignorance", a picture of longing to be taught. How satisfied is he - I thought how difficult it would be for this future Princess Qin. "With your chin raised and your eyes up, look at me with a little pride."
"Okay, now you are in front of the Queen Mother."
Shuheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at a multicolored silk thread embroidered gold Fengming jewelry dress on the chair.
"This is what the Queen Mother wore through, and seeing it is like seeing the Queen Mother. Salute and say hello. β
Shu Heng looked at the phoenix skin of the fox and tiger on the chair, and he almost couldn't help laughing. She looked at the floor where there was not even a cushion, and as soon as the corners of her mouth hooked, she knelt down, her eyes were sincere, and her smile was beautiful, as if the queen mother was sitting in front of her, and Shuheng very sincerely wished her immortal blessing eternal longevity and Tianqi.
"Not enough, not enough! This bend is wrong, to bend into a sickle arc, elbows should not be too high, the first time I saw the Queen Mother, I was not happy to show my face. He took a soft, thin wicker stick and struck her leg.
Shu Heng said to himself, "It's not the first time I've seen herβand you don't have to stick it in the first place.
With the first meeting of the Queen Mother, the next process becomes: see the Queen Mother on the Dragon Boat Festival, see the Queen Mother on the Midyear Festival, see the Queen Mother on the Qianqiu Festival, and see the Queen Mother on the Shangyuan Festival - how to see the Queen Mother when it rains, how to see it on a snowy day, what peculiar taboos does the Queen Mother have, and strange habits. For example, duck eggs must not be put in the network during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Queen Mother hates duck eggs, sacrifices ghosts during the Midyear Festival, the Queen Mother likes red clothes, warding off evil spirits, you must wear red, the Queen Mother hates others to say blessings when she celebrates her birthday and only says one sentence, so she must make up two pairs of four sentences - slowly, Shuheng feels that the core of court etiquette has become how to please the Queen Mother, and the purpose is how not to make the elderly angry.
If it were other docile and gentle girls, they would have listened, and they would have taken notes, and they would have been grateful to Dade for this. I feel that I have lit a light for my life in the palace, but Shuheng is not. When she kept kneeling, standing up, standing up, and kneeling down again, she couldn't help but think: If the Queen Mother happens to die, how can I see the Queen Mother at the funeral?
