Qin Xiaoxiao said: "Well, actually, half a month ago, the father-in-law from the palace came to the village to elect, at that time, I didn't know if I could be elected, and my father-in-law didn't let me say it, so Xiaoxiao didn't tell the three gentlemen." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Last night, news came from the palace, and two of them were selected in our village, one is me, and the other is Miss Aqing. The palace wants us to prepare and come to pick us up tomorrow! ”

"There is such a thing, how come I don't know!" Bu Yunfei asked in surprise, the draft in the palace must be announced to the world in advance, how can it be so secretive! Looking at it like this, not only did the three of them not know, but Gao Shiyi shouldn't know either. Otherwise, if someone comes to the palace, Gao Shiyi will at least come to remind them.

No wonder Bu Yunfei pushed away the Qiu family's family affairs yesterday, Qiu Zaili was not angry, it turned out that Qiu Aqing was also elected to the palace!

Qin Xiaoxiao said: "Sir, in fact, it is not the emperor's draft girl, but the princess!" ”

Bu Yunfei suddenly realized!

The Tang Dynasty's vast territory, reaching its highest peak in China's history, nurtured a vast and wealthy empire, but at the same time, the long frontier created a complex border security problem for the vast empire. Generally speaking, there are two main types of border issues, one is the confrontation between countries, such as the Turks, Goryeo, and Tibet, which are relatively stable internally, have relatively strong military forces, and can fight a limited war with the Tang Dynasty in some parts, or even a war for regional hegemony; The other type of situation is much more complicated, some of the nomads scattered in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, have not yet entered the formation of a unified state form, they take the tribe as a unit, or gather or disperse, sometimes attached, sometimes rebel, plundering the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, these nomads can not form a substantial threat to the Tang Dynasty, but often make the border areas unpeaceful.

Therefore, the border security of the Tang Dynasty adopted a strategy of attaching equal importance to grace and power, on the one hand, setting up ten knots in the border area, hoarding heavy troops, defending the enemy country, and at the same time, suppressing the surrounding nomads. On the other hand, it adopted a policy of gentleness and pro-kindness, and married princesses to neighboring countries and attached nomads to maintain border stability.

The pro-policy is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. A large country like Tubo, with strong national strength and a high level of education, is generally the emperor's biological daughter, that is, the real princess to marry; For small countries such as Goryeo and Baekje, as well as the once powerful and defeated Turkic internal chieftains, the daughters of princes or county kings are generally chosen, and these women are generally considered real princesses.

And for the semi-civilized nomads such as Murowei, Xi people, and Khitan, who have not yet formed a national form, there is no need for royal women, and they generally choose folk women, and the court gives them the title of princess, and they go to harmony, these women are real fake princesses.

Since the princess is fake, she can't make a big deal of it, so she can only choose secretly, and the eunuchs in the palace quietly select dignified girls among the people, and first enter the palace to raise them for a few days.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Qiu Aqing were elected as princesses this time, no need to ask, they must be married to uncivilized barbarians!

Bu Yunfei shouted: "Ugly girl, you don't even discuss such a big matter with me!" Dare to make a claim! ”

"Big brother, there is something wrong with what you said!" Fang Ruoxu said: "The little sister is not related to you, how can I discuss with you, besides, they are not allowed to say it in the palace, and they don't dare to break the rules!" ”

"It's not ......" Bu Yunfei was in a hurry for a while, panicked, and had to slow down his tone: "Ugly girl, you don't know, that princess is not so easy to be!" ”

The living conditions of the nomads are poor, the level of education is low, the living conditions are even worse, and there are even some customs that are completely unacceptable to the Han people, such as the husband and the son.

There are even more terrible things, one is that these nomads are unruly, and the other is that the Tang generals in the border areas often oppress the attached aliens in order to establish military merits. Some nomads were oppressed and rose up to resist, and the first thing they did was to kill the princess of the Tang Dynasty to show their determination to rebel. Three years ago, Fan Yang Jiedu made An Lushan once forced the Xi and Khitan people to rebel, and the Xi and Khitan people killed the princess of the Tang Dynasty, of course, it was also a fake princess, and the emperor was not heartbroken at all.

Therefore, the princess who marries a nomad not only has poor living conditions, but also worries about her life.

No one of the rich and noble families was willing to marry their daughters far away from those barbarians. They can buy off the draft picks by all means to avoid being drafted. The princesses were basically women from poor families.

Bu Yunfei was very clear about the status quo of harmony in the Tang Dynasty.

Qiu Aqing is okay. This pretty yaksha couldn't get married, she became an old girl, and staying at home didn't work, she went to be a fake princess, which is also a good home.

And Qin Xiaoxiao is the only daughter of a white family, if she marries away, Qin Da will become a lonely old man, and there will be no one to retire to the end!

"Sir, you don't have to say it! I know! Qin Xiaoxiao said lightly.

The autumn sun shone on Qin Xiaoxiao's body, and a faint circle of light was reflected on his long black hair.

"I know it's hard to be a princess!" Qin Xiaoxiao's voice was very low, as if it came from the bottom of the water: "I think about it, my father is not in good health, and I can't help him at home." I went to be a princess, and the government will give my father a bride price, and if he has money, he can find me a stepmother, take care of him, and have another brother to support him in his old age, isn't it a double win. ”

The chosen woman was married as the emperor's daughter, so the government had to give a rather generous bride price, which was also a huge amount of money for a small family.

"What about you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao bit her lip: "I'll be fine!" ”

Bu Yunfei's heart was gloomy, this Qin Xiaoxiao only thought of others, but never thought about himself. It's a pity that such a good girl has to marry a barbarian.

However, Qin Xiaoxiao's marriage to the border may not be a bad thing. The world is about to be in chaos, Chang'an City will become a sea of blood, if Qin Xiaoxiao is an ugly girl, it's fine, but she is obviously a big beauty, if she falls into the hands of the rebels, she will inevitably be humiliated. Now, she has left the mainland and escaped the war, and if she is lucky, marrying a sentient and righteous alien leader is also a very good destination.

What's more, Qin Xiaoxiao has already been selected, and it is impossible to turn back.

Qin Xiaoxiao picked up a package from behind him and handed it to Bu Yunfei: "Mr. Ning, this is a sauce roe deer made by Xiaoxiao." Mr. has been in Cuiyun for three months, my father is unlucky, he has not hunted the roe deer, this is only yesterday to hunt, Xiaoxiao wrapped it in sauce last night, it is not ripe, and it will be eaten in a few days! ”

"Thank you, ugly girl!" Bu Yunfei took the burden, shook his head and sighed.

"I'm gone! Mr. Ning, Mr. Fang, Mr. Shi, take care! ”

"Slow!" Bu Yunfei said: "Ugly girl, the names of the three of us are fake. My name is Bu Yunfei, and there are two of them, one is called Fang Ruoxu, and the other is called Bayegu. We are Qin criminals, and we are hiding from the government in Cuiyun Village! ”

At this time, Bu Yunfei really couldn't bear to deceive Qin Xiaoxiao again.

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Mr. Bu, you are all good people!" ”

Qin Xiaoxiao's footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared outside the courtyard gate.
