155. Guanfeng
Drying the Khan for three days, three days later, the Khan took the initiative to ask Wei Qian to come to the Zhaodian to discuss.
Thinking about it for a few days, the khan was afraid that Wei Qian would wrap him as a gift to the new khan, so he discussed peace talks between the north and the south. In addition to the matter of harmony, there are also many conditions such as doing business between the north and the south.
That night, Wei Qian held a banquet in the palace in the name of the Queen Mother to entertain the Khan.
On the grounds that Khan was cured, he invited the princes and princesses into the palace.
Originally, this was a family banquet set up as the husband of the eldest princess. But at the banquet, the Khan made his intention clear: "The eldest princess marries in the north, which is a great luck for the little king." However, in the morning of the same day, the king of the king received the will of the gods, saying that the combination of the king and the eldest princess would inevitably cause a catastrophe to the grassland. Therefore, the king didn't care about anything else, and returned the princess overnight. The implication is to repent.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately furious, and said that she would not promise anything, and she had to let the Khan marry the eldest princess of Yihe.
When you look at this farce, you know it in your hearts. When the eldest princess returned to Beijing, the marriage was considered yellow. Now it's just a matter of asking them to come and give a witness.
In any case, the eldest princess could no longer go to the outside of the plug. Otherwise, after returning to the Khan and trapping the dragon to ascend to heaven, he will take revenge, and the eldest princess will definitely die. However, they did not expect that it was actually the Khan who took the initiative to ask for repentance.
When the eldest princess heard this, she intended to commit suicide in public. After being stopped by Wei Qian, the banquet broke up unhappily.
Soon, news of the banquet spread throughout the city. Immediately, the crowd was full of voices, and many people gathered at the gate of the palace with righteous indignation, demanding that the khan be convicted.
"Since ancient times, it has been my heavenly kingdom to marry princesses, and the barbarians from all over the world have tried to marry our princesses. No barbarian has ever dared to refuse to marry a princess in our country! ”
The king humiliated the ministers to death, and now the eldest princess is the national body, she was humiliated like this, and the people naturally did not obey. Many old men knelt at the gate of the palace and asked the Empress Dowager to ask the Khan for her guilt.
"Guilty? A bunch of old idiots who don't know what to do and can only point fingers! When the courtiers saw this scene, they secretly snorted coldly. Kill the Khan, that's a falling out with the outside of the Sai Wai! Moreover, the Queen Mother ordered the killing of the Saiwai Khan, did she think too much about the Queen Mother's rights?
"That's the lord of a foreign country, don't say the queen mother, even Her Majesty doesn't dare to kill lightly."
"This is not only face, but also the friendship between the two countries and the political strategy of the DPRK for many years to come."
The ministers turned a deaf ear, and Wei Qian ordered a decree to appease, but did not say a word about the disposal of the khan.
Khan was a little worried at first when he heard the news from the outside world, but after thinking about it, he gradually understood. The imperial court did not dare to kill him, kill him, and if there is a new khan in the north, he can immediately launch an invasion of the south.
At present, he is the most important signboard for the north.
Thinking about this, he has been unscrupulous in the palace these days, if it weren't for Wei Qian's restraint order, I'm afraid he would have made a fuss a long time ago.
On this day, the khan swaggered out of the Linzhao Palace, and everyone did not dare to stop it, so they had to ask Concubine Ning to call the shots.
When Wei Qian heard this, he laughed and said, "That's it, you invite him to the racecourse, and the palace will go over to accompany him after these things." ”
Hastily summed up the affairs of the palace in the past few days, and handed over the rest to Concubine Wen, Wei Qian went to the horse farm to accompany the Khan on horseback.
When Khan saw Wei Qian coming, he snorted coldly: "This king has repented of his marriage according to your wishes, when will you send this king back?" ”
He was not worried about Wei Qian's killing, but he was worried that the time would drag on for too long, so Wei Qian sent people to join forces with other chiefs outside the Saiwai. At that time, the forces outside the country will be scattered, and it will be difficult for him to unify after he returns. It is even possible to be "violently killed" on the road and become a stepping stone to the new Khan. On the contrary, on the side of Daming Palace, a group of women did not dare to attack him. There are also those people from the previous dynasty, who honestly offered him, and the treatment was not inferior to the princes.
"No hurry, what's the hurry?" Wei Qian accompanied him on horseback, thinking about the schedule in his heart.
The khan wrote a handwritten letter and left a code to his cronies to restrain the foreign soldiers. At the same time, Wei Qian sent Wang Zheng to discuss the alliance with several other tribes. As long as this matter is completed, even if the Khan returns, due to the influence of internal contradictions, there is no way to go south to fight in a short time.
Timing, Khan wants, Wei Qian also wants. The khan wanted to leave immediately, and Wei Qian wanted to delay the time and lead the north to split.
"The Khan returned to Saibei alone, where can the palace rest assured?" Wei Qian smiled and groaned: "Don't worry, the Khan has sent someone to Saibei to invite people, and the person who will pick up the Khan will arrive in a few days." ”
Sure enough, he sent someone north? I'm afraid I want to secretly pull those bastards to seize power!
A few days later, an envoy from the north came. Together with the pro-team, they were included in Chang'an City.
In the central carriage sat an old man, who was the head of the Sebei this time, not a symbol of royal power, but a priest.
There is a sacred lake in the northern steppe, which is said to be a sacred place for the nomads of northern Cyprus. Here, there are the gods who feed them and the temples that belong to the gods. Here, there is absolutely no room for war, and the choice of the new khan must also be approved by the temple and blessed by the gods.
This time, the high priest and the envoys came to greet the khan in person, which had already shown the attitude of the temple.
These days, the Saibei is in turmoil, the major chieftains are vying for power, and the temple has to come out to quell it, and it is necessary to bring the khan back.
"My lord, are we going to enter the palace directly or ......?"
"The people of the Central Plains will not see us at this time. I heard that the emperor was not in the palace, and that the emperor's mother was in charge of the court, so she must have snubbed us for a few days, so she went to the Lifan Yuan first and let their people come to receive us. ”
Entering Chang'an City, the old man clearly felt a force completely different from the grassland.
On the grassland, he could feel their gods, the divine power that symbolized nature that covered the entire grassland. The grass is green in spring, the sun is scorching in summer, the cool breeze is cool in autumn, and the snow is fluttering in winter. A qiē is a great force of nature, the will of the gods.
But Chang'an City has another kind of noisy, bustling streets, red and earthy, which is completely different from the grassland weather. Moreover, in the Daming Palace in the southernmost part of Chang'an City, there seems to be a terrifying giant beast lurking, terrifying and powerful.
In the huge Chang'an City, you can't feel the power of the gods at all.
"That's the god worshiped by the people of the Central Plains?" When the high priest saw this, he shook his head. The gods, who have lost the meaning of nature, are very different from their civilization.
The Li Fan Yuan received the group, and Jia Yucun, the leader, said with a smile: "The palace has a decree, please enter the palace tomorrow to meet you." Because of the Khan's repentance of marriage, the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, and I asked you to take care of it. ”
The Khan's excuse had already been heard by the people of Saibei. As the person closest to the gods, how could the high priest not hear about the will of the gods?
However, he roughly guessed what Khan meant, didn't say anything, thanked Jia Yucun with a smile, and went to the accommodation arranged by the Li Fan Yuan.
The next day, everyone entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother.
At this time, the queen mother, the crown prince and the concubines of the harem summoned the envoys of Saibei in the imperial garden.
The old man held a bone staff in his hand, followed by a few northern Hu people to the imperial garden. The Hu people looked bad, and when they entered the palace, they were unarmed and entered the palace with their bare hands.
Seeing the warbler Yanyan in the imperial garden, the old man's expression changed slightly. First salute the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, and then salute Concubine Ning Niangniang, one of the concubines.
"Meet the eldest concubine."
Then he said to Jia Yuanchun and the other concubines: "Meet all the mothers." ”
According to the rules of Saibei, there is a concubine and other concubines in the side room.
In the eyes of the old man, he could see the dragon and phoenix qi above the heads of everyone in the harem.
The Queen Mother is a phoenix entrenched on her side. You can see the appearance of the widow, and the dragon qi is transmitted from afar, turning into the real phoenix qi. This shows that this old lady is widowed, and her status comes from her son, except for the queen mother, who does not think secondly.
Then, there was the dragon qi of the crown prince, a four-clawed dragon flying in the air, obviously the future prince of the country.
And then the concubines were lucky, and the red-gold Danfeng in the center spread its wings and soared, leading the way. I saw a few concubines on the grassland, but I didn't have this weather. Naturally, the old man thought that she was the emperor's concubine.
Wei Qian's expression was stunned, Jia Yuanchun's cold light flashed, and Wei Qianyan smiled and said: "This elder Xu is coming to the palace for the first time, and he doesn't know this palace and his sister?" I don't know the rules of the court? ”
Pulling Jia Yuanchun's hand, he stepped forward: "I have four concubines under the queen." The queen's sister and the concubine's sister died at an early age, and it is currently the main palace and the virtuous concubine's sister who preside over the sixth palace. ”
When the old man heard this, he looked at Yuan Chun's luck again. A big red fire phoenix stands on the side of the Danfeng, majestic and majestic, not inferior to the concubines of the grassland. But it's a pity that the Danfeng is red and bright, and the brilliance renders the fire phoenix, and it is almost invisible when it falls into the red cloud.
The old man hurriedly saluted Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun accepted it with a smile, but he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Soon after, under the pretext of being unwell, Yuan Chun took the initiative to return to the palace.
After returning to the palace, he immediately lowered his face: "Another metaphysical heresy?" "A few years ago, she asked others to wait and see the luck of the harem concubines, and those who had the right way said that the most fortunate person in the harem was not her, the highest-ranking virtuous concubine, but Concubine Ning, who was second only to her.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between Danfeng and Huofeng.
The angry Jia Yuanchun broke the bead plate and coldly beckoned to hug the qin: "How about the things that the palace asked you to prepare?" ”
"I've asked Madame to prepare it." Hug Qin and stopped: "Niangniang, isn't it a ...... to attack the East Palace now?" Isn't it ......?"
"Isn't that so? The palace can't compete with Concubine Ning, so it can only rely on the prince! ”
