"What? Did you find me a princess of Dongyi Kingdom as a daughter-in-law? Xuan Jing was a little surprised, he was still young now, although he had always been curious to peek at the appearance of Yahuan Xiaoque taking a bath in Hongwen Academy, but he really hadn't considered such a thing as looking for a daughter-in-law.

"Jing'er, since ancient times, the children of the Gongqing's family have all made a marriage contract at your age, and they will marry another one when they are older." Princess Xu looked at Xuan Jing with a loving expression.

"Hmmm! Is that devil girl good-looking? I heard that the people of Dongyi are very small, and people call them little devils! "Actually, what Xuan Jing thought in his heart was that even if Princess Zelan was a little shorter, it was nothing, listening to the old nonsense in the accounting room, the small girl was easy to fiddle with......

Where did Princess Xu know about Xuanjing's crooked brain, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, you are a princess of a country, and her appearance is absolutely not bad, and she will definitely not be wronged by you!" ”

Xuanjing nodded slightly, although the Dongyi people had used troops in Middle-earth before, everyone's impression of Dongyi was not good, but I heard that Dongyi's sister, that is a water spirit of a race, Xuanjing often heard a lot of young scholars talk about it after drinking, they said, Dongyi will be from the Jin Kingdom sooner or later, but Dongyi's sister should belong to Kyushu......

In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the first month of November, and the delegation of the Dongyi Kingdom finally arrived in Digi. In addition to the accompanying daughter of Emperor Waba's beloved daughter, Princess Zeran, the leader of the mission turned out to be the emperor's cousin and Princess Zeran's cousin, King Fujiwara Gun.

Of course, the imperial court also made arrangements when considering the reception, and King Xuanxu of Mongolia was fully responsible for the reception of the mission and the security work along the way.

This suggestion was also made by Prince Kang. First of all, King Meng and Fujiwara are both county kings, and their status in the two countries is equal, and it is natural that he will not leave a good reputation for Dongyi to receive him.

Moreover, King Mengwang Xuanxu is also in charge of the Jin Wuwei in the Imperial Palace, protecting the safety of the Imperial Palace, and the safety of the mission along the way is not a problem.

King Meng was also very concerned about this errand, and kept going back and forth to the post stations along the way. When the envoy arrived at Xunhe, which was still 300 miles away from Diji, two lieutenants of King Meng, led 400 Jinwuwei cavalry, were already waiting by the river to meet the envoy. Flags were held high along the way, escorting the mission all the way into Beijing.

The King of Mongolia imposed martial law on Diji three days in advance, and there were three steps, one person, five steps and one post on the street, all of which were Jinwuwei's guards.

The duty of Jin Wuwei was not only to garrison the emperor, but also to be the honor guard of the Jin Dynasty royal family. Whoever travels for the Son of Heaven, visits the mission, and acts as an honor guard are most likely soldiers of Jin Wuwei. Therefore, to enter this Jinwuwei camp, the selection conditions are the most demanding, all of them are elite soldiers in various armies, and they must also have a clean family background and be loyal to the king, and the most important one is that they require a heroic face and a body between eight and nine feet. Those who can meet these conditions can be said to be one in a hundred miles.

This time, the embassy's residence in Tegi was not arranged at a post house that received foreign envoys in normal times. Instead, according to the standard of national etiquette, the group was taken to live in the royal Fengyang Palace.

This Fengyang Palace was originally the winter palace of the emperors of the Jin Dynasty, and all the wood, bricks and soil in the palace pavilion were produced in Jizhou Xiuguo. Naxiu is located in the extreme north, the four seasons are cold, but the country is rich in cold-resistant forests, a giant tree can be surrounded by more than a dozen people. There is also a special product of clay, used to fire bricks and tiles, the most insulating and cold-resistant, the palace built by such materials is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, every winter, the emperor often comes to live in this Fengyang Palace for a few days, in order to avoid the cold.

It's just that these materials are also rare in Hugh, and most of them were used by the nobles of Hugh's palace to build courtyards.

At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Xiu Guo took advantage of the unstable foundation of the Jin Dynasty and sent an army of 300,000 to invade, burning, killing and looting on the border of the Jin State.

After receiving the battle report, Gao Zu only sneered a few times. He personally led 100,000 troops and drove north to resist the enemy. The main forces of the two sides confronted each other on the border of the Jin Kingdom by the Qizhen River for more than three months, and Xuanlou strictly ordered the whole army to hold out. At that time, the weather was gradually getting cold, and most of the soldiers led by Xuanlou grew up in Zhongzhou, which was not more cold-resistant than the soldiers of Xiuguo, and the soldiers had more frostbite and frostbite, but Xuanlou still didn't care.

Until the New Year is approaching, seeing that the heavy snow is about to seal the mountain road of Baitouguan behind the Jin Dynasty army, there will be no way for Xuanlou to advance or retreat. At this time, Xuanlou suddenly ordered the whole army to march in a hurry, retreated into Baitou Pass, and retreated very quickly, and ordered the army to abandon the baggage in the mountain road in front of Baitou Pass to block the pursuit of Xiuguo.

The army of Hugh was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to pursue the army relentlessly, and the pursuers entered the mountain road, and when they saw the baggage all over the ground, the whole army looted. Xuanlou had already ordered people to ambush explosives on Baitou Peak, and when the Jin army withdrew to the pass, igniting gunpowder, it was a cold winter, the snow was deep in the mountain, and the power of explosives caused an avalanche on Baitou Peak, and 300,000 Xiuguo troops were all buried under the snow.

Xuanlou did not spend a single soldier to annihilate the enemy army and capture the commander Duke Piquan alive. Xuanlou ignored the other party's request for peace talks, and the 100,000 troops were still stationed in Baitou Pass, but he just sent an envoy to Hugh's court with a fast horse on the king's day and brought Xuanlou's national letter.

The Empress of Hugh opened the fire paint seal cylinder and gasped. It turned out that there was no national letter in this cylinder, only a map of the border between the two countries. Xuanlou used a red pen to draw a thousand miles to the north by the Qizhen River on the original border between the two sides, as the border of the Jin Kingdom, and stamped the map with the jade seal engraved with the eight birds and insects of Yongchang.

The queen of Hugh was about to return the letter of state to the envoy within three days, but the seal of Hugh was stamped on that map. Xuanlou received the map, left 30,000 troops to stay in Baitou Pass, and then retreated triumphantly, since then 400 years, there has been no war in the north.

And the 1,000 miles of land outlined by Xuanlou on the map is the most fertile Beihai Forest Plain in Xiu Country. Later, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty established a royal forest farm in the Beihai Forest Plain, felled trees, dug soil and burned bricks, and built the Fengyang Palace in the emperor.

……

Digi, the inner hall of Fengyang Palace.

"I won't marry, whoever of you wants to marry will marry to the Jin Kingdom, anyway, I won't marry the Jin people!" With the sound of the cracks of the utensils in the hall one after another, Princess Zeeland cried. There was a room of maids standing next to him, all of whom bowed their heads, not daring to say a word.

"Zeelan, you can't do this!" Walking in was a tall man dressed in a black robe with gold threads, who was none other than Princess Zeelan's cousin, King Fujiwara

Seeing her cousin come in, Princess Zeelan really didn't dare to hit things anymore, she just lowered her head and sobbed silently, and the grievances in her heart were overflowing.

"Zelan, you were born in the family of emperors, and since you were a child, you have enjoyed glory and wealth that others cannot match, and the people of Dongyi have revered you like a god. Then, you have to take responsibility accordingly! King Fujiwara said with a calm face.

Zelan didn't raise his head, and said while wiping his tears: "Then I don't want to be the daughter of the royal family, let alone marry so far to the Jin Kingdom, where there is no father, no mother, no splendid cherry blossoms and hot springs in the mountains." If I marry here, I will never see you again in my life, and you are so cruel to marry me to such a far place? ”

In the face of Princess Zelan's tears, King Fujiwara remained unmoved.

"We Dongyi are far away in Yingzhou, the real land area is just a small island, not as big as a state capital in the Jin Kingdom, the grain we produce and the livestock we raise are far from being able to feed the domestic population, so what should we do? We can only covet the fertile land and lush forests of Zhongzhou, otherwise, in another three generations, our country will even have a problem of survival. ”

"Before leaving, His Majesty the Emperor told you about the purpose of this trip, and as His Majesty's daughter, you should naturally bear the country's sorrows for him!" Fujiwara said expressionlessly.

In fact, Princess Fujiwara came here with the mission all the way, and she already knew in her heart that this matter was irreparable.

It's just that there is still a glimmer of hope, fantasizing about making trouble in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, maybe the people of the Jin Kingdom see that they are unwilling to marry far away, and they may also give up this marriage in the spirit of twisting the melon is not sweet.

At this time, when I heard Uncle Fujiwara say this, I was faintly worried about the motherland, yes, what Uncle Fujiwara said was the truth, Zelan just hated why he was born in the emperor's family......

……

Xuan Jing was walking on the way to Fengyang Palace with his uncle Meng Wang Xuanxu at this time, he knew that he came today to go on a blind date with Princess Zelan of Dongyi Kingdom, Xuan Jing has grown so big, he has not been on a blind date, he is a little excited and a little expectant, and his little heart is fluttering.

Of course, his father Xuanbu asked the princess to tell Xuanjing about this in advance, and as soon as Xuanjing heard that he wanted to see Dongyi's sister, he immediately asked a few maids from Hongwen Academy to carefully clean up themselves.

When King Meng and Xuanjing arrived at Fengyang Palace, the deputy envoy of the mission had already led people to wait in front of the palace gate. And when the uncle and nephew walked to the inner hall, King Fujiwara was already standing outside the gate of the inner hall of Fengyang Palace.

"The prince, please, the prince, please!" It was winter, and the stream under the wooden arch bridge had frozen, and Fujiwara bowed down to guide King Meng and Xuanjing.

"The king of the county is polite!" King Meng returned the salute and turned to look at Xuanjing, the prince behind him.

Xuan Jing also hurriedly bowed to Fujiwara, and the three of them slowly walked along the path in the courtyard towards the inner hall.

"His Royal Highness, I will enter the inner hall for a while, and I just said that I passed by by by accident and came to visit by the way." Fujiwara admonished from the side.

"Oh, Uncle Wang, why is that?" Xuan Jing looked at King Meng with some curiosity and asked.

Before King Meng could reply, Fujiwara said: "Although the marriage between the royal family is not only about two people or two families, but also about the fate of two countries. However, if two people who are really married do not like each other, the marriage will never last. Therefore, generally before the marriage of the two countries, the painter must paint the portraits of both parties and send messengers to send them, and everyone is satisfied with it, so that there will be no mess at the time of the wedding, which will break the face of both parties. His Majesty the Emperor of our country specially arranged for the princess of Zeeland to come with the mission, also to meet with the prince and show the sincerity of our country. ”

"But His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to worry, Princess Zelan's mother is one of the best beauties in our Dongyi family, and although Princess Zelan is still young, she can hardly hide her natural beauty. When the son of the world sees it in a while, he will be happy and satisfied. ”

Xuan Jing bowed his head and responded, and didn't say much, thinking in his heart that these people can really pretend, obviously I am here to flirt with my sister, and I have to pretend to pass by by accidentally, and I have to make so many moths when I talk to him, or the old man in the account room said it well, in the primitive society a long, long time ago, men and women met casually, looked at each other, and could sleep together.

It's just that now Xuan Jing can only obediently follow behind his uncle Xuan Xu, walking silently, turning a few corners in a row, and finally reaching the inner hall of Fengyang Palace. Fujiwara led the two into the hall and sat down as guests. The two maids turned out of the screen in the hall and served with snacks and tea.

"The distinguished guests of the Jin Dynasty are passing by, can you invite Princess Zelan to meet?" King Fujiwara said.

"Since you are a distinguished guest of the country, please sit less and enjoy tea, and the slave will inform the princess." A slightly older female voice inside the screen said.

After a while, four girls in purple clothes slowly walked out from behind the screen with flower baskets in their hands, and the flowers in the hall were pleasant. At this time, it is a cold winter, and flowers are not easy to come by. The host prepared these flowers to welcome the guests, and it seems that the Dongyi Kingdom mission still took some effort.

Four girls in purple clothes walked into the hall, and a middle-aged woman walked out from behind the screen. She had a little girl in her hands, a pale green dress, no powder, a fair face, pale pink lips, bright and clear eyes, long hair like a waterfall hanging down her waist, and a small white gold crown on her head, which was very delicate. The princess bowed her head to the guest and said nothing.

King Meng and Xuan Jing also got up to return the salute, and Xuan Jing looked up and saw Princess Zelan, and couldn't help but smile at her. Princess Zelan also looked at the prince of the Jin Dynasty, he was so quiet and delicate, wearing a wide robe embroidered with blue gold silk and a mink cloak, he seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, standing there quietly, his eyes as distant as the starry sky.

She felt a little fever on her face, and this young man seemed to be a little different from her usual children of the nobles of the Dongyi Kingdom.

"Princess Zeeland, Princess Zeeland!" The woman beside her pulled the princess who was a little distracted, "The distinguished guests of the kingdom have already seen it, please go back to the back hall to rest!" ”

Several young maids gathered around, and the princess turned and followed them into the screen.

Xuan Jing lowered his head, thinking about Princess Zelan's clear eyes, there were always some lingering shadows in his mind, jumping and jumping......
