Chapter 242 Khitan courtship
Wang Chong finally rejected Guo Chongtao's order on the grounds that "the generals are outside, and the military order is not subject to it".
Under the prompting of his subordinates, he remained steadfast, which allowed Wang Yueyao to escape.
I have to say that the people in the secretary and supervisor were really lucky, and they were spared death.
After almost dying, Shi Yu finally couldn't stand the feeling that life and death were completely controlled by people, and resolutely snatched the dagger in Zhu Si's hand, and fiercely drew a blood mark on Wang Yueyao's pink neck, in order to force Wang Chong to give way.
Seeing that Shi Yu looked determined to die together, Wang Chong compromised, he couldn't afford the consequences of Wang Yueyao's fall, so he had to order his subordinates to get out of the way and let these women go, of course, Shi Yu also took Wang Yueyao with him.
Not long after the people of Cuiwei Pavilion left, Wang Chong resolutely decided again, and followed alone, and Qi Yi was able to find an opportunity to save Wang Yueyao, and the rest of the ghost guards were all sent back to the General's Mansion by him.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Wei Chijin frowned and looked at the group of Khitan people in the middle of the main hall, it was this group of people that made her and Guo Qizuo inseparable at all.
If one of the two knew about Wang Yueyao's actions and what happened, maybe the result would be different.
Most of the people in the middle of the main hall are Khitans, but the leader is Han.
This person is six feet long, born with red lips and white teeth, beautiful hair and eyes, handsome and extraordinary, presumably when he was young, he was also a romantic figure like a pear flower pressing a begonia.
This person is none other than Han Mengyin.
Speaking of Han Mengyin, everyone may not know this person, his two sons are Han Tinghui and Han Zhigu, famous ministers of the Great Liao.
In history, Yelu Abaoji established the Great Liao, Han Tinghui and Han Zhigu made great contributions, the two brothers were the founding heroes of the Great Liao, and in history, the Han family was a famous official family in the Liao State.
As the father of Han Tinghui and Han Zhigu, Han Mengyin is also not simple, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and the official went to Jizhou to assassinate the history, but because of the internal strife between Li Keju and Li Quanzhong, he fought in Jizhou and joined the Khitan in anger.
The Khitan was defeated in both battles at the hands of Zhu Li, and the internal situation was uneven, so he had to send Han Mengyin to Shuozhou, trying to resolve this grievance through peaceful means, so as to rescue Yan Mujin and Yuelixin.
The Khitan people, instead of worshiping the Tang Dynasty, instead showed favor to Zhu Li, for the entire Heshuo, this was the first major event in history, and it was not taken seriously by Wei Chi Jin and Guo Qizuo.
Han Mengyin looked at the little lady on the main seat, his brows furrowed slightly, they sent an envoy to Shuozhou, mainly to meet Zhu Li, but Shuozhou's side actually sent a little lady to meet him, how could he be comfortable in his heart.
However, in the face of Zhu Li, after all, the Khitans lost two battles and lost two battles, and their confidence was insufficient, even if he was confused and dissatisfied, he had to bow his hand and say: "In Xia Han Mengyin, the envoy to Heshuo is mainly to meet His Excellency General Huaihua, I don't know ...... the general is his old man."
"Hmph" Before Wei Chi Jian could speak, Zhao Wu, who was standing on the side, snorted coldly and said proudly: "How can my general be the one you can see when you say you, the one sitting above, but our general's wife, it is your great blessing that Mrs. can take the time to see you, what, aren't you still satisfied?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." As soon as she heard that this little lady turned out to be Zhu Li's wife, Han Mengyin's heart was balanced.
Since the rise of the feudal dynasty, monogamy has been advocated in the Central Plains.
We see the phenomenon of groups of wives and concubines in the annals and classics, because these books record high-ranking officials and nobles, and if the annals of the common people are recorded, everyone will definitely see a different scene.
Monogamy was advocated in feudal society, and ordinary people, few people took concubines, if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the status of wives and husbands was equal.
If Zhu Li had something to do, it would not be rude to let his wife come out to meet the Khitan envoy, and it was because of this that Han Mengyin didn't even dare to say it.
"It's because I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I'm abrupt, please forgive me." Han Mengyin hurriedly apologized, he came to sue for peace, so he naturally had to put his posture a little lower, let alone offend the important people in Shuozhou rashly, and Wei Chijin was obviously full of weight in his opinion.
Zhao Wu claimed that Yu Chi Jin was Zhu Li's wife, and the Shuozhou civil and military forces in the entire hall took it for granted, but in the ears of Yu Chi Jin, it was obviously another taste, and she was called Mrs. before she got married.
However, Zhu Li was in a fainting, Shuozhou should do everything, she had to carry it, at this time, she endured this kind of embarrassing discomfort, and said loudly: "To be honest, your arrival makes me very strange; In September last year, you Khitans, together with Xi people and Tuyuhun, raised 200,000 troops to knock on Juyong; At the beginning of this year, you joined forces with the remnants of the party and the Uighur Diko of the Shulu Department to wreak havoc on Toyosu; Now it's inexplicable to come to the door again. ”
Wei Chijin's wording is not harsh, and it seems that they don't look at the Khitans at all.
Following behind Han Mengyin, several Khitan warriors who could understand Chinese heard the sarcasm of Wei Chi Jin's words, and their faces instantly turned red, and they couldn't help but lose their temper and explode, but under the signal of Han Mengyin's eyes, they finally endured it.
Han Mengyin's attitude was very respectful, even if he heard Wei Chijian's sarcasm, he still smiled all over his face, and said humbly: "Who in the world doesn't know the prestige of General Huaihua, Heshuo has a general in charge, how dare we make a mistake." ”
"However, I have eight Khitan departments, millions of people who control the strings, and looking at the whole world, the only one who can treat us Khitan people as friends is the general."
Han Mengyin's words were very flamboyant, although he held Zhu Li high, he did not lose the majesty of the Khitan people at all.
The words are soft and hard, and the meaning is very obvious, if the Tang Dynasty changes someone to sit in this Heshuo, their Khitan will not be so polite.
In the face of Zhu Li, who can win two battles and defeat the Khitans, they will give enough face; As for the other feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty, they Khitan people really didn't pay attention to it.
In a word, the Khitan can't beat Zhu Li, but it doesn't mean that they are weak and can be kneaded by others.
This soft and prickly sentence was listened to in the ears of Heshuo's civil and military personnel, and at the same time, it was very uncomfortable for everyone to use, but when everyone raised their eyes, Guo Qizuo, who was the leader, was still squinting, as if he was asleep, and his uncomfortable mood naturally faded.
Guo Qizuo's expression clearly didn't take Han Mengyin's words to heart, what did they mind, in a word, in Guo Qizuo's eyes, what are the Khitans.
Guo Qizuo can not take it seriously, but Wei Chijin is very uncomfortable, and continues to tease: "Hmm, since the Khitan is so powerful, what are your intentions when you come to Shuozhou, aren't you really here to make friends?" ”
Ever since these people came to visit at this juncture, Wei Chijin was very tired in his heart, so he spoke unceremoniously.
Here is Zhu Li's foundation, and now it is facing the first severe test, just ask, which infatuated lady does not cherish her husband's foundation, of course, except for the loser lady.
Today's Heshuo, the wolf guard has become an army, and the mass production of crossbows has been put into the border army on a large scale.
It can also be said that the Heshuo Northern Expedition of foreign races, especially the Khitans, has everything ready, just waiting for Zhu Li's order, Wei Chijin dared to speak like this, and he didn't take the other party seriously at all.
When Han Mengyin heard this, he still didn't mind generously, and arched his hand: "Since Madame asked about the intention of the next generation, I will want to congratulate Madame below." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, Han Mengyan looked around with a smile on her face, she was very satisfied with the effect she had caused, and her expression was as if she was saying that Yu Chi Jin had won five million, and she didn't know it herself, which was very pleasing.
When Wei Chijin heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Daoxi? Why ...... Madame doesn't know, where does this joy come from? ”
"Haha, Madame doesn't know, that's because Madame hasn't finished listening to the next words, as long as she finishes listening to the next words, Madame will definitely be happy to see it." Han Mengyin seemed to be very determined.
"Well, let's hear about it."
"I will follow my wife's orders, and I will say it bluntly, my great Khan, I heard that the general has a sister, who is eleven years old; And coincidentally, the Great Khan happens to have a nephew, named Yeluyi, who is now thirteen years old. Han Mengyin said with a smile on his face, as if things were really as beautiful as he said.
So that's the case, once the Saibei alien race, once they show submission or show weakness, they will either bow their heads and recognize their godfather, or they will ask for a noble girl, this phenomenon has a long history, and it is not uncommon, which is a common practice in the eyes of officials in the Central Plains.
In fact, when these Khitans presented thousands of handsome horses, several boxes of treasures, and hundreds of beauties outside the country, Guo Qizuo had already guessed their intentions, and now that the truth finally came out of Han Mengyin's mouth, he was naturally not surprised.
It's just that his personality is like this, if it is something that will be clear sooner or later, he is also happy to be confused, not to mention, he himself has no objection to this marriage, if he takes the opportunity to get married, it is not a bad opportunity to send troops to the grassland.
Under the guise of marrying, confusing the Khitans, secretly pressing the border, and catching the Khitans off guard, Guo Qizuo certainly would not have an opinion.
But he doesn't mind, someone minds, the hall is full of civil and military, if the person who is most disgusted by the matter of getting married, it must be Wei Chi Jin, she is a woman after all, and there are fewer incidents of women being used as political bargaining chips in ancient times?
But behind this, as women, are they really willing?
No woman, as long as she can stand at a certain height to see the problem, will not have a good impression of such a thing, and Wei Chijin is no exception.
What's more, Zhu Li once told her some things, that is about the character of a dynasty, that dynasty, do not get along, do not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in the community, such a style and bones, such a solar term, it is difficult not to be praised for thousands of years.
In Zhu Li's words, a man is not dead, how can he exchange a weak woman for humiliating peace.
Of course, Zhu Li himself is a little angry person, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, so it's not strange to say this, but this sentence, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart, and Wei Chijin has always kept it in his heart.
Now the Khitan people have actually hit Zhu Ning'er's idea, as Zhu Ning'er's future sister-in-law, how can Wei Chijin not be disgusted.
