Chapter 169: The Wayward Queen
The queen rode skillfully, galloped wildly, and flew with her braided hair. The hundred cavalry who opened the way in front could only get out of the way and let her go first, but they didn't dare to get too far away from her.
The three confidants were also good riders, and they galloped wildly from their princesses, shouting incessantly.
In comparison, Li Luo's riding skills are much inferior. But he didn't dare to fall behind, so he could only grit his teeth and spur his mount to keep up closely.
Who knows, this gallop lasted for half an hour, and he ran out for forty or fifty miles in one breath, until the horses of several people could no longer run, and then stopped in front of a stone bridge.
Li Luo scolded more than a dozen times in his heart, his mother's queen, are you a horse changer? So I can run! The skin on my inner thighs is about to be worn by the horse's back, you know!
Stopping now, it's even more painful.
It was only then that the queen finally jumped off her horse, pointed to the river under the bridge, and said in high spirits: "The Mongols and the horses are like the river and the water." As long as the river was flowing, the Mongols rode horses. ”
The three ministers flattered together: "The princess said that the truth is like the sun will definitely set in the west, and it will never be wrong." ”
The queen paced slowly to the bridge, and suddenly became interested in the old stone bridge, and he pointed to a broken stone tablet at the bridgehead, and asked, "The words on it are full of moss, I don't know how many years." Che letter, you look at what is written. ”
Cha Shin, one of the three confidants, is actually a Korean. When he was a child, he was taken captive by the Mongols and enslaved in Dadu, and was given to the then Princess Anping who was lost in the capital, and became the princess's private retainer because of misfortune. Later, Che Xin followed the princess to the mother country of Goryeo, but he did not regard himself as a Goryeo at all.
Che Xin stepped forward to look at the handwriting on the inscription, shook his head and said: "Princess, this should be a seal script, the villain really doesn't know it." "Although Che Xin knows Chinese characters, he can only know regular script and line script, and he is blind in seal script.
Suddenly lost and suddenly unhappy, raised his hand and whipped it, knocking Che Xin's hat to the ground, "You are really a lame colt, you are so useless!" I don't care about you! ”
She actually hates Chinese characters, and the reason why she wants to know what is written on the inscription is purely out of curiosity. Many times, it is obviously a whim, and she wants to play one out at a time, but she is serious and turns a small thing like a sesame seed into a big thing like a grinding plate.
Most women have inexplicable curiosity, and this princess is especially curious. Many people have suffered unjustified because of her curiosity.
"Li, Li, what, come and see, what is written on this tablet?" The queen suddenly said to Li Luo.
It's only been one night and you've forgotten my name? Li Luo was speechless, what a noble person forgets.
Li Luo knew that as long as he hesitated a little, he would eat her whip. It seems that it is not an easy task to use this woman's power.
Li Luo received the order, he squatted in front of the stone tablet that was half submerged in the earth, reached out to wipe the soil moss on it, and carefully recognized the words on it.
It is indeed a seal body, and Li Luo certainly knows the seal body. But when he read the handwriting on it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The meaning of this inscription is really inconvenient to explain to this Mongolian princess.
Do you want to say that you don't know?
Li Luo was sure that if she said that she didn't know, this woman's whip would fall down fiercely, and she wouldn't have considered that she had rewarded herself, the "old man of the capital", with a quality grandson last night, she was so willful.
"Your Excellency, what I said above is just a past story about the Khitans." Li Luo wanted to perfunctory the past, just explain it in a big way.
The past of the Khitans? When he heard the story of the Khitans, he immediately became interested.
"What is the past of the Khitan people? You have to tell me exactly as it is, and don't miss a word. Su Du was lost and said, she was a little dissatisfied with Li Luo's perfunctory. She decided to find a third person to recognize this stele later, and even extended the inscription to Dadu. She must know the meaning of each of the above!
If this Li has deceived or omitted something, hum.
Li Luo knew that she was very impatient, and she didn't bother to hide it, "Queen Qiyu, the name of this monument is called the Flooded Khitan Hulu Monument." It is said that three hundred years ago, the Khitan army attacked Goryeo, and when crossing the river here, the commander was flooded, and the Khitan army had to withdraw and return north. Therefore, a flooded Hu bridge was built and an inscription was erected to commemorate it. ”
The Khitan invaded Goryeo several times that year, and the killing was very heavy, and it was hated by the Goryeo people for hundreds of years.
What the? Flooded Khitan Hulu Monument? Drowning the Hu Bridge? When the queen heard this, she was immediately furious.
The Khitans are the descendants of the steppe, and the Mongols are also the descendants of the steppe, and the two ethnic groups are actually very related. And the Goryeo people called the Khitans Hulu, so you can imagine what they thought of the Mongols in their hearts.
What kind of "flooded Hu Bridge" do they still have, and what is their intention?
At this time, if a Mongolian nobleman like Zakhan had been replaced, he would not have taken it seriously at all. It's just a stone bridge from hundreds of years ago, and I can't do it.
But if you get it and get lost here, you won't be able to do it. When she is unhappy, she will be willful. She is willful, and she will make things happen when she has nothing to do.
"The name of this bridge is unreasonable!" Suddenly lost and immediately competed with the stone bridge.
Li Luo stubbornly said: "What the queen said is extremely true, the name of this bridge is indeed a bastard......
Before Li Luo finished speaking, he suddenly lost his mind and said to another retainer: "Yin Hou, after passing on the book, this bridge will be demolished!" ”
This retainer named Yin Hou was a Mongol. He also hated the name of the bridge, and never hesitated to give the princess's orders, even if they were ridiculous.
Yin Hou took the order and left. In a few moments, a hundred cavalry galloped over, and as soon as they got off their horses, they began to dismantle the bridge. But the question is, is a stone bridge, they don't have the tools, so easy to dismantle?
Besides, if the bridge is demolished, will the mission have to take a detour? Isn't that stupid?
Li Luo began to sympathize with the king of Goryeo.
Sure enough, a hundred cavalrymen knocked with knives for a long time, and there was no way to take the stone bridge. Until the mission team caught up, the stone bridge did not suffer much damage.
"My Queen, who made you stop your progress?" The king of Goryeo stepped out of the magnificent car and stepped forward to speak in Mongolian. He didn't know what the queen was sick again, and she was going to tear down the bridge.
The queen said, "Wang Hui, do you know the name of this bridge? She called him by his first name, the supreme king in the eyes of the Koreans.
King Goryeo was a little embarrassed, "This...... The queen didn't know that this Khitan was a Khitan, and I Mongolia was a Mongolian ......" He naturally knew the name of this ancient bridge, and he had passed by this bridge many times.
"Fart!" The queen was furious, "In your heart, I'm afraid it's all Hulu!" Pointing to the stone bridge, "Immediately give an order to the magistrate to demolish it!" ”
The king of Goryeo stomped his feet in a hurry, and demolished an ancient bridge for this matter, is he crazy? But he knows very well that once his wife plays tricks, she will not be reasonable at all, especially her husband's reasoning, she will not listen.
The king of Goryeo didn't dare to argue, he glanced at Li Luo, and immediately blurted out: "Li Siyi, you persuade the queen!" ”
When a queen is angry, she often prefers to listen to the persuasion of others rather than to her own. Let Li Luo persuade it, it may have an effect.
Li Luo secretly scolded the king of Goryeo, but on the surface, he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, do you remember the route of marrying to Goryeo back then?" ”
When the queen heard Li Luo's words, her attention was suddenly diverted, "Remember, this is the road." ”
Li Luo said again: "The queen should take this road every time she goes back to Dadu to save her relatives, right?" Weichen wanted to come to this bridge, the princess walked across it when she was fifteen years old, and maybe, the princess also stopped on this bridge to see the scenery. ”
The queen was stunned, yes, she had actually walked over this bridge a few times, and she did stop on the bridge to see the scenery. It's just that I've never paid attention to that ancient monument before.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly softened a little, and her inexplicable anger was inexplicably reduced a lot.
But he heard Li Luo continue: "In this way, the queen is the most noble person that this stone bridge has ever carried. It carried the princess several times, a bit like the horse that the princess had ridden! Princess, how could you really bear to tear it down? Li Luo said to the king of Goryeo again: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the queen is just talking about it. ”
Li Luo compared the bridge to a horse, although it was a Hula, but it still touched the feelings of the Mongolian people for horses.
A woman's sensibility is very unreasonable, and persuasion from a perceptual perspective will most likely work. Li Luo linked Shiqiao to the way she got married, the way back to her parents' house, and the horses she had ridden, all of which were playing the emotional card.
Sure enough, the queen's face looked much better.
Li Luo continued: "From what Weichen can see, this bridge and the queen are actually related, and the fate is not over. Since the name of the bridge is not good, it is better to ask the queen to give it a new name. ”
This is a tactic to create new problems and cover up old ones.
The queen immediately became interested and accepted Li Luo's suggestion without hesitation. She thought about it with great interest and said, "Let's call it Anping Bridge." "Anping is her title before she got married.
"Princess Shengming! That's a great name! Li Luo hurriedly praised it while it was hot, and then translated it loudly in Goryeo: "The queen has an order, and the name of this bridge is changed to Anping Bridge!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Goryeo people, who were worried about the demolition of the stone bridge, all breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but salute together: "Your Excellency the Queen! ”
The king of Goryeo couldn't help but nod and smile at Li Luo, this Li Siyi helped him out of the siege today, and when he returned to Goryeo, he must be rewarded.
Li Qian also cast a satisfied smile at his "nephew" Li Luo. This nephew surprised him more and more. Of course, if he knew that Li Luo was not his nephew at all......
The queen gave Shiqiao a good name, and she felt a sense of accomplishment, and she was even happier to see the Koreans saluting her.
"Li Luo, you ride a horse and follow the car behind Ben, Benhou has something to say." The queen did not forget Li Luo's name again this time. She was also tired from riding, and got into the carriage again.
Li Luo had no choice but to ride a horse and walk beside the queen's chariot. This scene made the other three ministers look sideways.
The three ministers all know that if it was just a whim of the princess to reward Li Luo with a quality grandson last night, then today, this Li Luo has really begun to be trusted by the princess.
