Tana and more than 2,000 other captives of the Mongol Yuan princes were imprisoned in the small school field north of the right guard of the government army, where tents were temporarily set up for everyone to live in. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was high and refreshing, a group of people were not abused, good wine and meat were served, everyone was in a happy mood, and they sang and danced on the school field, although everyone knew that this was not a long-term solution, but the people of the grassland were open-minded, and they actually made the prisoner under the stairs a fairy life.

On this day, when everyone was singing and dancing, they saw the dust outside the camp gate, and suddenly galloped into dozens of people and horses from the outside, followed by one hundred and ten carts, lined up in the open space in the middle, and jumped down two middle-aged people for the leader, and walked in front of everyone, one was a civil official, elegant and graceful, and the other was a eunuch, with a white face and no beard, the eunuch held a yellow scroll and shouted loudly: "There is a decree in the saint, and the remnants of the Yuan descend to receive the decree." ”

Everyone knelt down together, and the eunuch unfolded the holy decree and said sharply: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: 'With Taichang Siqing and Huang Zicheng of the East Palace, Huang Zicheng sent the remnant princes of the Ryukyu Kingdom to take care of the good students, meditate on it, and forgive the previous sins, and Wang Desheng, the prime minister of the internal official and prison, sent Princess Tana into the East Palace, accepted as the side room of the prince, and was named Concubine Rou, and the rest of the people were sent to the hero's house as slaves. Chin this, Shane. ’”

Wang Desheng's decree was completed, so he waved his hand and ordered the right guard sergeant to immediately drag people into the car according to the roster.

Dibao Nu ran a few steps, knelt down in front of Huang Zicheng, and cried: "My lord, I won't go to Ryukyu, you let me stay in Jingshi, it's okay to be a slave and a maid." ”

That Wu Wang Duoer, Dai Wang Darima, Pingzhang Balan and others also walked in front of Huang Zicheng and bowed down and said: "Lord Huang, Lao Yu and others are old and frail, and they are impatient to travel. Please tell the emperor that the old man is willing to find a tuntian in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and remember the emperor's grace for the rest of his life. With that, the old man cried and dipped his towel in his eyes.

Huang Zicheng hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The holy will has been decided, forgive me." Although the Ryukyus are far away, the king of Dunmu, the Confucian style is very prosperous, the food customs are the same as the Central Plains, you can live in the place with peace of mind, stay for a year or two, Huang looked at the opportunity, set the Ming Sheng, call you back to Beijing, and then arrange. ”

King Wu sighed and said, "That's it." ”

Huang Zicheng ordered the sergeant to help everyone get into the car, and the land protector took Tana's hand and said: "Sister, you stay with the prince, so that you can wait for your life, you must remember, speak for your brother in the future, and ask me to return from Ryukyu." ”

Although Tana and Dibaonu are not the same siblings, after all, they are also brothers and sisters, and they are reluctant to part when they are separated, and tearfully agreed: "Second brother, this is going to Ryukyu, the mountains and rivers are far away, since then, I don't know when we can meet, you have to take care of your body." ”

Dibaonu nodded, boarded the carriage, and waved goodbye to Tana. The sergeant came to report, the people had gathered, Huang Zicheng nodded, stepped on the horse, waved his hand, and the team of people and horses left, Tana ran desperately behind the convoy, tears flowed down and soaked the placket.

Suddenly, a person stepped forward and grabbed Tana's sleeve, and laughed sharply: "Concubine Rou, everyone is gone, don't chase it, you can't catch up, please enter the palace with the miscellaneous family." ”

Tana stopped, looked back, and saw that this person was Wang Desheng, the prime minister of the internal official prison, so she said to Wang Desheng: "I'll go and pack my things and follow you into the palace." ”

Wang Desheng smiled and said: "No need, Concubine Rou, everything in the palace is ready, and Niangniang will follow me to the car." ”

Tana was helped by him to board a gold-lacquered carriage, and suddenly she thought of something, and turned back and ran around the square, shouting in a chaotic crowd, "Battle, where are you?" ”

Two soldiers were dragging Zhang Shixing towards a car, Zhang Shixing heard Tana's shout, two arms with a force, broke free, ran in the direction of Tana, Tana saw him running, just wanted to jump, but was stopped by a small eunuch who was driving the car. Zhang Shixing was also caught by the two soldiers again, and after struggling, he couldn't move, and his nose and face were swollen. Tana pointed at Zhang Shixing and shouted: "He is my Nak'er, a guard, a companion, he can't leave me, he wants to enter the palace with me." ”

Wang Desheng pointed at Zhang Shixing and said with a sympathetic smile: "Concubine Rou really wants this kid to accompany him in the palace?" ”

Tana nodded vigorously, "Seriously." ”

Wang Desheng took out the roster he carried with him, looked at it for a while and said: "Battle, the fifteenth year old, it is written that he wants to enter the Liangguo Mansion as a slave errand, since Concubine Rou wants him to enter the palace, then the miscellaneous family will be convenient, but the miscellaneous family must first ask him to understand, so as not to regret it in the future." ”

Wang Desheng stepped forward and said to Zhang Shixing: "Battle, the miscellaneous family asks you, are you going to go to the Lanyu Mansion of Liangguo Gong, or do you want to accompany Concubine Rou into the palace." ”

Zhang Shixing already hated Lan Yu to the core, and he was unwilling to leave Tana, in this Jingshi who lived in both worlds, Tana was his only relative at the moment, so he said categorically: "I want to enter the palace with Princess Tana." ”

Wang Desheng nodded and said, "Good boy, this is what you said, and you are not allowed to regret it in the future." ”

Zhang Shixing gritted his teeth and said: "The husband has said everything, and the horse is difficult to chase, I will never regret it." ”

Wang Desheng said: "Okay, you follow me to the car behind me and enter the palace with Concubine Rou." ”

The two carriages galloped out of the camp gate one after the other, through the long street between the Dongda Shadow Wall and the right guard yamen of the Fu Army, and then turned to the North Street of the West Imperial City, all the way to the south, Zhang Shixing lifted the curtain, looked at the appearance curiously, only to see on his left hand, the tall and majestic city wall was endless, and quickly retreated, and after a while the carriage came to Xi'an Gate, entered the city, the coachman held the reins, the horse slowed down, and then turned to the east, along the inner street of Xi'an Gate, walked to the front of Xihua Gate, only to see a splendid city tower standing in front of him, flying eaves and corners, red walls and yellow tiles, the carriage in front of Tana stopped, the little eunuch who drove the car took out the waist card on his body, and showed it to the sergeant of the right guard of Yulin guarding the door, the sergeant waved his hand and let go, the carriage slowly drove in, and the copper nails on the vermilion lacquer gate were dazzling in the sun.

Zhang Shixing's carriage turned to the right and entered the lanes composed of blue bricks and gray tiles, and Zhang Shixing said strangely: "Old man, don't we go with the princess?" ”

Wang Desheng said with a smile: "Concubine Rou has entered the palace, you have to purify yourself before you can enter the palace to serve Concubine Rou." ”

Zhang Shixing grew up on the grassland since he was a child, and the Mongolians did not have the custom of castration, and the cowardly Xue, Na Keer and others followed the Great Khan, serving food and living, and they were not worried about the filth of the palace, and his parents never mentioned eunuchs, eunuchs, etc., so Zhang Shixing did not know the meaning of purification, thinking that it was bathing and changing, thinking that it made sense, so he was silent.
