Chapter 11: Picking Up a Princess
There are five orchids opposite, with a well-proportioned figure, short waist and long legs, white and red skin, high noses, deep eye sockets, eyebrows of different shades, eye colors are blue, black, and brown, and a layer of tulle covers it, adding a charm to the moving body.
Li De asked with an obscene face, "Tell me what is your name and where do you come from?" ”。
The five orchids faintly protected the woman in the middle, and the orchids who were blocking the front said, "Dear master, the five of us are all descendants from Shanshanguo, the homeland where our people have lived for generations was attacked by the Turks a few years ago, and everyone in the family was killed, only the five of us survived, because Zise was captured as slaves, and the slave traders brought us to the Tang Dynasty and sold them to the Tang people at a high price. ”
Li De said, "Oh~ yes." You and I can't be fooled, just like you, you can escape from the Turks, and you can be sold to the Tang Dynasty intact, you think you are Tinker Bell and you can leave at any door. "Just kidding, ugly people may not be able to escape from the Turks, let alone grow well, nomads advocate force, emphasis on conquest, once they break through the city, they are like locusts, sweeping not a single inch of grass, that is, not killed, at least the fate of a slave, escape? Can you outrun a four-legged horse! What's more, it's still in the Western Regions, a place where there are no people for hundreds of miles, thousands of miles of black chickens, as well as deserts and grasslands, just how far can you go with a few women who are powerless.
Of course, Tinker Bell didn't know what it was, and then said, "Master, the five slaves and maids did hide in the tunnel and escaped. Later, the slave traders saw that we were quite attractive, so they did not attack us, and taught us Chinese and the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty along the way, and were ready to sell us to the Tang Dynasty at a high price. ”
Tong Qing saw that these orchids didn't know the current affairs, and they had to make up a story and said, "Bold, what kind of identity is the head of the family, there are many loopholes in your words, and you don't recruit them from the truth, if not, let you taste the means of the palace."
Li De didn't speak, just stared at these few with bad intentions, especially the one who was blocked behind seemed to have the highest status, there must be a problem, if he didn't tell the truth, let Tong Qing clean it up.
At this time, the woman in the middle pushed away the person in front of her and stepped forward, lifted the gauze on her head, her long hair hung down, and then unveiled her veil to reveal a perfect face, and said after bowing to Li Deyingying, "Former Shanshanguo, Princess Loulan, Tiya, meet His Royal Highness King Wei of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Li De's pupils immediately shrank and then burst into light, staring at Princess Loulan, I can't wait to swallow her with one mouth, this Princess Loulan is so beautiful, I can't be afraid of Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun, long pale blonde hair, long eyelashes, blue eyes, sexy lips, and bewitching figure, that man wants to possess her immediately when he sees her.
Li De retracted his aggressive gaze and forced him to press his desire and said, "I don't know, Princess Tia, you came from afar, what is the so-called thing, you can hide among the slaves, it seems that your plan is not small."
Li De broke Tiya's plot with a sentence, and his little face turned red and sobbed, "Lord Qiqi, Tiya is also helpless, the country is ruined, only these four maids have been guarding their sides, even the guards who escorted us out have no bones, the Turks are tyrannical, the national enemy and family hate Tiya and dare not forget, only the Tang Dynasty can compare with it today." Only this Pu Liu's body asked to see the Tang Emperor, and asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to destroy the Turks, and the little woman should be a grass ring to report to His Majesty. ”
Li De was furious and smashed the coffee table next to him with a palm, stood up and scolded angrily: "Ridiculous, not to mention that you can't see Your Majesty, just see, you think that just a few of you can ** my Tang Dynasty King and deceive the people of the world." Just for a few orchids and a so-called princess, you have to send a large army to fight, work the people and lose money, do you think you are a compliment, and now Your Majesty is the mallet of King Zhou You, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all idiots. ”
"Someone is coming," Li De shouted to the outside world.
"The head of the family" Luo Ping ran in and hugged his fists.
"Shut up these women who don't know what to do, put them in a side room, deliver water and food regularly, and don't allow them to take a step out of the door." Li De hated.
"Yes, the head of the house" Luo Ping called two guards and took all five Tiya away.
Dividing line /////////////////////////
"Report, General, Xue Guogong asks to see!" The soldier reported to Cheng Yanjin.
Cheng bit Kim Zheng was bored and sat behind the bookcase. Hearing that the eldest grandson Shunde is coming, it is strange that this old guy has no friendship with him, except for being an official in the same dynasty, he never moves around in private, the old guy relies on himself to be a relative of the emperor and the country, and he looks arrogant and looks at everyone with a feeling of being on top. I didn't know what was going on when I came to visit suddenly.
"Go, please go to the back office."
"Yes," the soldier replied
"Zhijie, the old man is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he is a little puzzled, and I ask my brother to give me advice." The eldest grandson Shunde said.
Cheng Biting Jin, also known as Cheng Zhijie, replied, "Xue Guogong is serious, I don't know if you have any questions?" ”
"There is a kid today, he looks very raw, but he can really mobilize your Jinwu guards, the old man happened to go to the West Market to buy slaves, this is strange not to meet, this Jinwuwei has always been responsible for the security of the imperial city and is only responsible for His Majesty, so come and ask the elder brother. Isn't this person from the palace? The eldest grandson Shunde explained.
Cheng Yanjin immediately called Yu Chi Baolin in and asked, "Today, did someone instruct you to mobilize your soldiers to go to the West Market?" ”
Yu Chi Baolin looked at the eldest grandson Shunde, pulled Cheng Yanjin aside and whispered, "Uncle, I don't blame me for violating military law for this, but which one is too capable, I dare not listen to it" After speaking, he gave Cheng Yanjin a "you know" look.
Cheng Biting Jin is even more strange, this private transfer of troops is a big crime, who can be so bullish to bypass him, Cheng Biting Jin asked Yu Chi Baolin to send troops privately. After thinking about it, surely that one would not, so who would it be? Immediately thinking of whether it was Li De, Cheng Yanjin said to Yu Chi Baolin, "King Wei? ”。 Yu Chi Baolin nodded, and Cheng Yanjin knew in his heart that he would let him go out first. Go and deal with the eldest grandson Shunde by yourself.
"I don't know, Xue Guogong has a conflict with that person?" Cheng Yanjin said tentatively.
The eldest grandson Shunde smiled and said, "How can it be, it's just that the subordinate is not doing well, and he was slapped by him, and he looks like he came out of the palace, and the old man came to ask the elder brother for verification, so as not to let his family not know his own family."
Cheng Yanjin smiled evilly: "Hitting your subordinates is equivalent to slapping your Xue Guogong in the face." It's a shame that you didn't get hard, otherwise, uh. Speaking of which, that person is a little bit related to you. The officials of the same dynasty are all old people who have experienced the Xuanwu Gate, and the younger brother reminds you that you really can't afford to provoke that person, it's best to accept it when you see it, don't regenerate right and wrong. The little brother said that, whether Xue Guogong can listen to it, the little brother still has official business to do, so he won't send it, come to someone, send off guests."
The eldest grandson Shunde heard Cheng biting Jin and drove people away, looking at this way, he would not say who this person was, and said that the old man couldn't be provoked, cut, this queen is my niece, Wuji is my nephew, except for the emperor, the emperor, I can't afford to mess with it? Isn't it just from the palace, and I'm afraid I won't find it when I go to the palace to ask my niece. Hum. He flicked his sleeves and walked out.
Cheng Yanjin looked at the back and held back in his heart, just don't tell you who that person is, let your old boy scream, this time you can kick the iron plate, there is usually a queen,. The eldest grandson Wuji will help you, see if you are still nervous this time, thinking of the virtue of the villain of the eldest grandson Shunde, he will definitely be beaten by Li De. Cheng Yanjin was so happy that he went home and drank two cups.
I think which guy slapped himself in the face, and was ridiculed by Cheng Biting Jin. What do you mean I can't afford to provoke, damn, I'm angry with the old man, no, I must not swallow this breath, another day the court will definitely join him in front of His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to severely punish the murderer. When the eldest grandson Shunde returned home, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was ready to do so.
Li De didn't know that he had been remembered, he was asking his subordinates to put the tables, chairs, benches, and two big beds built by Chen An, load them into a carriage, and send them to Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his family sent them, of course they had to be used by the family if there were good things, Li De also made a rocking chair for Li Yuan, and the old man was old, so he just rested and took a nap on it.
Tong Qing led the servants to drive the carriage to the palace, Li De remembered that the princess of Loulan came, saying that Shanshan Kingdom was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty around 448 AD, which ran out of a princess, it seems that there were many nobles who have survived to this day, and the predecessor of Shanshan Country is the ancient country of Loulan, Loulan, what a distant and mysterious name, how many experts and scholars in later generations went to Lop Nur to visit this legendary country, I heard that the body of a Loulan woman was also found, and she has been lying in the desert for thousands of years, To this day, I can still vaguely distinguish that it is a beautiful woman, and these people who rob tombs with licenses are really imaginative.
Loulan is an ancient kingdom in the Western Regions, with the capital of Loulan City (the ruins are on the northwest coast of Lop Nur in present-day Xinjiang, China). The southwest of Loulan is connected to the end, Jingjue, Kumi, Khotan, the north is through the Cheshi, the northwest is through Yanqi, the east is close to Bailongdui, and the Dunhuang is the key point of the Silk Road. It also prospered for a while.
The name of Loulan was first found in the "Historical Records", in 176 BC the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan Yu to the Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng letter, when Loulan belonged to the Xiongnu. In 60 B.C., it belonged to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. Loulan is the easternmost Silk Road in the Western Regions, the Han and Hungarians want to control Loulan in order to compete for the Western Regions, Loulan between the Han and Hungarians "do not belong to each other, there is no way to be at ease". In 77 B.C., the Western Han Dynasty warrior, the famous diplomat Fu Jiezi killed the king of Loulan and changed the name of his country to Shanshan, and the Han Dynasty responded to the request of Shanshan and sent troops to Tuntian in the city of Yixun in its territory.
After the diversion of the Peacock River, the water of Lop Nur shrank, and the living environment became worse and worse, after about 422 A.D., the people of Loulan City were forced to suffer from severe drought, abandoned Loulan City, and gradually moved south, Shanshan State (Loulan State) successively annexed Wuqiang, Xiaowan, Jingjue, and the end of the country, becoming one of the seven powers of the Western Regions, and the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Shanshan State in 448 A.D. After about 600 years of history, the Shanshan Kingdom (Loulan Kingdom) came to an end.
In this way, the chick should be a remnant of Shanshanguo, and this Turkic attack should be to deal with the increasingly powerful Tang Dynasty, desperately expanding the territory and plundering the population, and preparing for the war with the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty has been constantly fighting and friction with the Turks since the founding of the country, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change was seized by the Turks Internal instability, Li Shimin has not stabilized the country, launched a surprise attack, hit the edge of Chang'an City in one fell swoop, and forced Li Shimin to sign the shameful "Weishui Alliance". This also led to Li Shimin, the male lord, bent on being ruthless, and since then he has been diligent in internal affairs, cultivating elite soldiers, and preparing to destroy the Eastern Turks first. At the end of this year, the Eastern Turks will be the first to attack, officially kicking off the national war between the Tang Empire and the Turks.
