A crescent moon like a thin brow in the sky illuminates the spacious stone pavement beneath your feet. www.biquge.info A group of female guards of the Ming court rode horses, lit torches, escorted a carriage, and galloped on the roads of Hot Spring Town, no less fast than in the daytime.

Zhu Yisha sat in this carriage, and a smile appeared on her delicate face, looking elegant. Sitting opposite her was also a girl, who looked five or six years younger than Zhu Yisha, with beautiful facial features, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, but a slightly darker complexion, but still stunningly beautiful. This stunning beauty wore a skirt, and her hair was combed into a double-ring bun - this was a popular hairstyle in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and unmarried women and palace maids liked to comb their hair like this, plus a Tang Dynasty skirt, this woman really looked like a Tang Dynasty beauty.

However, the name of this "Tang Dynasty beauty" is Su Puyaka, who was born in Kolkata, India, and grew up there. Her father was the last "state lord" of the princely state of Manipur. Singh. Oh, and this princely state of Manipur or the kingdom of Assam was given the name of both the Indians and the British. However, she is not a descendant of the Donghui Kingdom canonized by the Zhou Dynasty, which has long since died and weakened.

In Supuyaka's memory, the name of his homeland was the Kingdom of Ahong, the Kingdom of Mengdun Shunhan, or the Kingdom of Assam. And her ancestors came from Mengya and Mengka in China, which is now in Baoshan Mansion in Yunnan Province, and was a Tusi under the Dali State (in another time and space, it is the Dai people, but there is no such (one) (book) (read) novel ybdu.. a people), named Sukaffa. Perhaps because of the oppression of the Dali court, or the lack of land due to the increase in population, Su Kafa led 9,000 people. Two elephants and more than three hundred horses. It took thirteen years to migrate slowly. Arrived in the Brahmaput Valley region and established the state on the north bank of the Brahmaput River. By the time of the fourth king, Su Kangfa, the kingdom of Akhon had taken control of the entire Bumaputra Valley, which is now the Assam region.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Luchuan, which was the same clan as the Ahong Kingdom, rose (the jurisdiction was south of the Jinsha River, and the Yuan Dynasty sealed the Ping-Burma Propaganda Envoy, and the Ming Dynasty sealed the Luchuan Propaganda Envoy, and there was a major war with the Ming Dynasty). The kingdom of Ahong was subjugated to Luchuan. At the end of the 14th century, Supkaya's ancestor, Sudangfa, embraced Hinduism, and the entire kingdom of Akhon gradually became Indianized. By 1681, the kings of the Akhon kingdom no longer used the surname "Su" and switched to the Hindu name "Singh". After about a hundred years, the British began to invade the kingdom of Ahom, and in 1822, there was a war between Britain and Burma for the Assam region controlled by the kingdom of Ahong, and the final result was that the British took full control of the kingdom and finally abolished the throne of Supuyaka's grandfather in 1838. Annexation of all of Assam to British India.

This was the end of the history of the Akhon Kingdom until the independence of the Indian Union. The Assam region will see an independence movement again. The descendants of the kings of the Akhon kingdom had nothing to do with this, and they gradually integrated into Hindu society. However, the history changed by Zhu Jishi also affected the descendants of the Ahong Kingdom eighteen years ago.

Just a year before Su Puyaka was born, his grandfather, who looked like an old Chinese man, had traveled through China under the Ming Dynasty for a business venture. Seeing how prosperous and powerful the empire of these kindred people who look exactly like him is, it is completely a motherland that can be relied on! So after returning to China, the old Mr. Singh changed his surname back to Su, named Su Huafa, and converted to Buddhism, and sent all his children to schools run by overseas Chinese in Kolkata. The family is also naturalized in the Ming Dynasty, and they also bought a house in Hong Kong to prepare to move.

However, the old gentleman did not count on the Ming Empire to help him restore the country. He just wanted his descendants to become nationals of the mighty Ming Empire. And the one who really didn't give up was his son Su Yanfa, that is, Su Puyaka's father. In the fifth year after the death of Sowarfar, Napoleon III died, the world situation changed greatly, and the confrontation between China and Britain was fully revealed. The opportunity to restore the kingdom of Ahong has finally arrived!

But what capital does a prince of a declining Indian princely state have to obtain the support of the Ming Empire to obtain a kingdom? This is obviously impossible. After several contacts with the Indian Confederation Congress Party, which was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and several meetings with the Ming Consul General in Kolkata, Gu Ziyun. This Su Yanfa finally threw out a condition that the Ming side could not refuse-let her beautiful daughter Su Puyaka give birth to a Ming prince to become the king of the Donghui Kingdom, and he himself became a duke with a territory and was also the prime minister of the kingdom...... Anyway, the territory of northeast India is very large, and the Su family can always have a small country.

"Princess." Su Puyaka, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke. She was brought to Yingtian by her father, and after meeting Zhu Guoxiong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, she was arranged to live in the luxurious mansion of Princess Anle, waiting for Xu to be married to a handsome and dashing prince of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Yisha smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Does His Majesty the Emperor have many sons?" Su Puyaka speaks Nanjing Mandarin fluently, which she studied at the Chinese School in Kolkata. Her name there was Sophie, and her appearance was completely Chinese, so her classmates did not regard her as a foreigner, and she herself always considered herself Chinese. Of course, I am very satisfied with being able to marry the prince of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a side concubine, so I am full of joy to come to Yingtian.

"Eighty-four." Zhu Yisha replied with a smile. She has a very good memory, of course, she remembers how many descendants Emperor Zhu has, and she also remembers the name, trade name, appearance, title, address, occupation, age and birthday of each of them, as well as who their mother is. Such a complicated issue, in the Ming royal family, except for Zhu Mo, who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion (most of them are not authentic Ming families, but heroes who followed Zhu Jishi in the early years), probably only Zhu Yisha can fully remember it.

"Fifty-five are fit to be married, and fifteen of them are not yet married." Zhu Yisha continued. Not everyone of Zhu Jishi's sons can be crowned kings. Sons who have no kingdom to rule over only have the title of marquis, and their wives certainly cannot be called concubines.

"That's a lot!" The little beauty stuck out her tongue and bowed her head with joy and began to calculate...... She had already met several Ming princes and princesses, and each of them was beautiful, both male and female. It seems that her wishful husband is also a handsome prince, right?

……

"Minister Su Yanfa, long live my emperor, long live!"

At the same time that Su Puyaka was rushing to the Hot Spring Palace accompanied by Zhu Yisha, his father Su Yanfa was visiting the Ming Emperor on the Yang Xin Hall of the Hot Spring Palace.

"Let's be flat." Zhu Jishi, who was on the throne, looked at this Su Yanfa with the help of the light of the electric lamp. This person is not a few years younger than Zhu Jishi, he is long and jade, wearing a blue robe, with a royal blue brocade belt tied around his waist, and a silver-white silk robe inside, which is completely Chinese-style. Looking at the appearance is also Chinese, born with long eyebrows, and a little elegant, when he was young, he must have been a good son who came out of the dust.

"Sure enough, it's Chinese!" Emperor Zhu nodded, "Sit down." ”

There are already maids from the palace who have moved to embroider the pier. Zhu Jishi doesn't like to let people kneel or stand to talk to him, and now in the Heart Cultivation Palace, the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong is also sitting on the embroidered pier.

Zhu Jishi smiled and said to his son: "This person can be used." ”

Zhu Guoxiong said: "The people of Assam are not willing to die in Britain, and they look forward to the restoration of the Su family day and night. ”

When Su Yanfa heard this, he hurriedly added: "How can my Su family have the hope of recovering the country, and I also ask the Ming Dynasty to send the prince to serve as the king of Donghui." ”

Zhu Jishi nodded and asked his son, "Xiong'er, who is more suitable to be the king of Donghui?" ”

Zhu Guoxiong smiled: "Let's wait for my father to see the beauty." ”

"It's fine." Zhu Jishi asked Kusumoto Takako beside him, "Isha and Su Puyaka have arrived?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard footsteps outside the hall, and then the female official's roll call: "Princess Anle, Miss Su Puyaka has arrived." (To be continued......)
