Chapter 349 Covenant Chapter 3 and then the cave room
Zhang Xuan lingered outside Su Hudong's courtyard gate for a long time.
He had a headache, and he didn't know how to deal with this princess who had no emotional foundation.
But no matter what, since he has been married, Su Hudong is his bride today, and this threshold must be crossed.
Su Hudong is different from the previous Li Tengkong, she is the princess of Hui, representing the marriage between Huifu and the Tang Dynasty, and the main marriage of the Tang Emperor. Therefore, Zhang Xuan can't be like Li Tengkong, this cave room must be fulfilled.
Otherwise, if you really want to let Princess Hui pick out the thorns, the impact will be great.
It involves the friendship between Datang and Hui, and also involves the face of hundreds of thousands of tribes.
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and strode in.
The courtyard was lit up, and the two rows of maids who had been waiting in the courtyard saw Zhang Xuan come in, and quickly fell to the ground, and then shouted: "The prince has arrived!" β
When the maid in the wedding room heard that Zhang Xuan was coming, she hurriedly nervously made some ceremonial preparations for the groom's official to enter the cave room to salute.
Seeing that it was so late, Su Hudong didn't think anything was gone, thinking that Zhang Xuan must have gone to Wanchun first, and he was angry in his heart, and when he heard that Zhang Pian was coming, he was relieved and had a little unexpected joy.
Zhang Xuan shook off the group of maids, walked into the joyfully decorated cave room, waved his hand to the maids, and said, "You don't have to be busy, let's retreat first."
A maid was stunned, hesitated and said softly, "What about the king............
Zhang Xuan said in a deep voice, "Let's all step down, this king is tired and wants to rest."
Several maids looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, they all quietly retreated, and then closed the door for the two of them.
Zhang Xuan lifted the curtain and entered the inner room.
Su Hudong hesitated for a moment, but still got up and walked forward to reply to the woman's etiquette, "Su Hudong has seen the prince"
Zhang Xuan smiled, nodded and sat down on the bed, pushed aside some of the etiquette props that the maid had placed on the bed, and said softly, "Let's not pay attention to these vulgar etiquette, right?" This king wants to talk to the princess about what he thinks."
Su Hudong's eyes flashed with some strange brilliance, she nodded, and also sat down opposite Zhang Pian.
She was born in a reciprocal background, and she is also extraordinarily "sexual", so she is naturally not as dogmatic and restrained as a Tang woman.
Zhang Xuan sighed lightly, "You and I can have today is actually fate." I know that the reason why the princess is willing to marry into the Yongning Royal Mansion is nothing more than to repay hundreds of thousands of tribes...... But since you and I are married today, whether the princess admits it or not, whether she wants to or not, you and I are already husband and wife."
"There's no way to change it. The princess didn't have a choice, and neither did I."
Zhang Xuan looked at Su Hudong with clear eyes, and said indifferently, "Since you have no choice, you can only look forward and accept the reality."
"What I want to say is, no matter what the status of the wife or the side concubine is, as long as it is the woman who is my child, the position in my heart is the same. I will love and cherish each of you, and do my best to share good and bad, life and death. It's true for Wanchun, and it's true for you."
"So, no matter what your previous identity was, whether you were the princess of the Tang Dynasty or the princess of Hui, in this mansion and in my heart, you have only one identity: my wife, there is no distinction between high and low and big and small."
Zhang Xuan's gaze slowly became resolute and cold, "Do you know why I chose to come to you first today?" β
Su Hudong's eyebrows were peachy, but he was silent.
Zhang Xuan waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's not because you are the princess of Hui, but because you and I have no emotional foundation." I don't want you to feel left out, but at the same time, I also want you to understand that I will not alienate or snub you because you and I have no emotional foundation! β
"All the things that were before are over. Now, you are my Zhang Xuan's wife, and you must admit and accept this fact."
After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief and stared at Su Hudong silently.
Su Hudong's pretty face gradually turned a little red, Zhang Xuan's words were straight to the point, and she had prepared a stomach full of "rhetoric" in her heart, "There is no place for it."
Zhang Xuan's meaning is obvious: Anyway, I'm here from the cave room tonight, and you have to accept it whether you accept it or not.
Zhang Xuan didn't care what Su Hudong was thinking at all, he got up and began to untie his clothes, then went to bed in his underwear, lifted the new red quilt and got in.
Su Hudong was stunned at first, then blushed and glared at Zhang Xuan, unable to say a word.
"I'm tired, I've been tossing and turning for a day, and I'm sleepy. You continue to think about it, I'll sleep for a while. When did you figure it out......" Zhang Xuan smiled and lay down.
Su Hudong gritted his teeth and said softly, "You ......"
"I still say the same thing, you and I are already husband and wife, tonight is the night of candles in the cave room, you want to understand. I don't want to force you, but I want to tell you even more, when you enter my Zhang Xuan's door, you can only be honestly my woman, and there is no second choice.
Zhang Xuan's words were very domineering, and his eyes flashed.
If this princess doesn't agree, can you still overlord the bow? Su Hudong's heart jumped, and then he sneered in his heart......,
Su Hudong got up, stood in the chalk, and paced around. Under the bright candlelight, her delicate and heroic face floated with a complex brilliance.
Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, lay there with his eyes closed, and waited quietly.
He believed that Su Hudong would figure it out and know what to do in the current situation, so he could only pierce the window paper, "Open the skylight and say something." If you hide it, tonight's cave house will definitely be in vain.
The candlelight was flickering, and the atmosphere in the chalk was very dull and depressing, and Su Hudong's rapid breathing could be faintly heard.
Long.
Su Hudong slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Xuan, gritted his teeth and said softly, "Since Su Hudong is married to you, he will not regret it."
Zhang Xuan smiled secretly in his heart: You can't regret it.
"But I have three requirements. If you can agree, I will obey you, if you don't, I would rather die! β
Zhang Xuan sighed lightly when he heard this, and said in his heart: This little girl's skin is really ...... It's like robbing the people's daughters, I, the beautiful woman in the palace, is like a cloud, just for the little thing between men and women, why do I want to come to you?
He glanced at Su Hudong and said lightly, "On the day of great joy, why do you have to die or live?" You say, as long as I can accept it, I will definitely promise you. β
"First, where I live, all the places I live should be replaced by handmaidens, and all the degrees should be decorated according to the customs of the return. I don't understand the rules of your Datang." ......
"Uh...... No problem. You married a handmaiden, and Ming'er sent them all to you" Zhang Xuan smiled, "The princess continued, what else do you want, listen to me"
"Fulfill your promise, open the border to Huicheng, allow Huicheng merchants to enter the Tang City for self-trade, and reduce the ............ taxes" Su Hudong looked at Zhang Pian with blazing eyes.
This is what her father Khan Guli Pei Luo repeatedly explained to her, and asked her to blow the pillow wind to Zhang Xuan and strive for the greatest benefit for the return. If the Hui people are not good at farming, the food and various materials are very scarce, and the dependence on Datang is too heavy, if the trade can be opened, tax exemption and exemption, and let the Hui merchants buy the food and materials of the Tang Dynasty by themselves, it is very important for the development and prosperity of the Huidu.
"I can only promise you, in my town of Longshuo, the merchants can trade freely, and the reduction of taxes by 30% β is what I told your father Khan before, and I will not regret it. Of course, I will do my best to report to the imperial court, and strive to liberalize the trade with the return within a certain range and reduce the tax burden at the same time."
"But it needs to be noted that there is a limit to everything, military minerals, gold, silver and iron artifacts are related to the national line of the Tang Dynasty and belong to the embargo, and there is no room for bargaining!"
Zhang Xuan's expression was solemn, and although his voice was low, it was extremely resolute.
This is the principle and bottom line, it is impossible for him to abolish the public for personal reasons, because he betrayed the national interests of the Tang Dynasty by marrying a woman who returned to him!
As for promoting commerce and reducing taxes, this is what Zhang Xuan has to do, and it is a win-win result for Huicheng and Datang.
Hui Fu is different from Tubo, Hui Fu has a small population and wants to develop into a big country like Tubo, it will take at least a hundred years⨠Xuan Xuan's reply will become the second Tubo, posing a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is a good thing for Datang to be stronger, and it will become a powerful arm.
Su Hudong let out a sigh of relief. What the Hui people were looking forward to was nothing more than food and some necessities of life, and as for the minerals, iron horses, which had always belonged to the Tang Dynasty's controlled materials, the Hui people did not expect to be able to obtain these.
"Third ......" Su Hudong was silent for a moment, some of her Zhang Xuan would not agree to this last one. In fact, in the three chapters of her covenant, in her opinion, "the most difficult, the easiest to cause Zhang Xuan" backlash, is the third article.
"Third, I won't stay in Chang'an, I want to go to Lingzhou with you, and I'll go back and forth from time to time!" Su Hudong pursed his lips and finished speaking, and subconsciously added, "I'm just going back to visit my mother and father Khan for a long time."
Zhang Xuan looked up at Su Hudong and was silent for a long time.
His eyes were clear and persistent, and he could see that Su Hudong felt a little hairy in his heart.
But what she did most was that after she got married, she stayed in Chang'an alone, became the kind of noble "woman" who sang and danced and feasted, and always maintained a good relationship with Zhang Xuan's other women.
That kind of life makes many women yearn for it, but for Su Hudong, it is tantamount to imprisonment.
Her ability to gallop day in and day out, and the life of a canary in a cage of joyful β wilds is nothing less than a disaster in her eyes.
But she also has some understanding of the customs of the Tang Dynasty and the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and knows that the town of Terracotta is basically a feudal domain without a family, and it is unlikely that Zhang Xuan will break the rules for her. (To be continued)
