Chapter 793: The tiger and the wolf are the followers, and the big city is the makeup
This dispute in the Turkic tooth tent is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yunzhou, and it is also worth celebrating for Datang.
Although at the beginning of the reign of Viga Khan, he had fought so much that the Tiele tribes had to rely on the Tang Dynasty to survive, but later according to the advice of the national teacher Tun Yugu, he still tried to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the chosen sect daughter wanted to burn high incense to celebrate her escape from the tiger's mouth in private, and even the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty were in a relaxed atmosphere. After all, since the rise of Mo Si and the re-emergence of the once declining Turks, the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty has not stopped, and now the Turks seem to be falling apart, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
With this understanding, the DPRK sent envoys to the Turkic tent, and the rest was to order Shuofang and Hedong Jiedu to make Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, take strict precautions. And all kinds of news from the Turkic afar, even if it involves the legend of the daughter of Wumi, but because Yue Wuniang has always been wise, she deliberately let people spread all kinds of rumors, but instead covered up the fact that she originally called herself the daughter of Ashina. Although the Tang Dynasty once had a female protagonist in power, the Turks have never produced a female khan, and no one has taken this daughter of Wumi, who was given the hometown of Dubo, to heart. On the contrary, Princess Gu'an, who was about to return to the eastern capital to settle down, attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Hefan has always been thinner than paper. Whether it is Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng, who are really from the Li Tang clan, or Princess Dongguang and Princess Yanjun, who are from the daughter of the clan, they are all the same in a sense.
Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng at least enjoy the name of Princess Tubo, but Princess Dongguang and Princess Yanjun seem to be unlucky, their husbands Li Lusu, King Xi and Li Shaogu, King of Khitan, were forced to flee to Datang alone. Such a princess, in a place like Liangjing, where dignitaries and dignitaries gather, really doesn't even have much honor, let alone power.
But Princess Gu'an is not. When she was in King Xi's tooth tent, she killed Semer and retreated three soldiers and horses, so she was rewarded by the Son of Heaven; Later, although her mother-in-law Lantian County Lord was not angry that she had won the honor, she repeatedly appealed, so that she and Li Lusu divorced, but this instead fulfilled her wish, after moving to Yunzhou, she made Yunzhou from a northernmost abandoned city in Hedong to become one of the important towns in Hedong in one fell swoop. The generals who came out of the wolf guard under her are now mostly the backbone of the Yunzhou army. Therefore, her return, the Son of Heaven certainly praised, and even the most demanding officials had no objections to the princess's mansion built in Chang'an.
No matter what, Princess Gu'an is a person of merit to the country!
It is now March, and the peonies in Luoyang have bloomed all over the city, and the pedestrians on the road have all changed into light spring shirts. The horse's hooves are fragrant in the green season, and it is the favorite of the light and thin young man, but when the ladies go out, there are always one or two noble fortunate children who will go to join in the fun. But in the afternoon of this day, on the official road in the north of Luoyang City, not only travelers, but even the scholars and nobles who went out to enjoy the game were also isolated. I saw the banner waving, the guards were like a forest, and it was an unusually solemn atmosphere. Finally, someone in the crowd of onlookers saw a group of people crowding around a rider from the north gate of Luoyang, and immediately the young man was handsome and radiant, and some of them immediately exclaimed.
"It's King Shou!"
Shouwang Li Qing is eighteen years old this year. Although he is not the crown prince, his mother Concubine Wu Hui is just favored, and he is the most loved by the Son of Heaven in the eyes of everyone, so he naturally looks confident and handsome. When he stopped his horse, others inquired more about the reason for today's big battle, and when they learned that it was to welcome Princess Gu'an, who had returned from Yunzhou, some people couldn't help but smack their tongues.
"Princess Gu'an used to be with King Fan Xi, and after the divorce, she lived alone in Yunzhou for a long time, and now His Majesty can allow her to come back, which is already a great grace, how can she be so prosperous and mobilize the people, so that King Shou welcomes her?"
"What do you know, although Princess Gu'an has not been Princess Xi for a long time, she has quite a prestige among the Xi tribes, and if she hadn't moved to Yunzhou early and recruited displaced people there, and then now when the Longyou Du Marshal was guarding Yunzhou, how could she be so handy, and it didn't take long to create a strong city? I heard that now Yunzhou Mutual Market, from the beginning of only three days a month to the current ten days, the merchants who go there to do business all make a lot of money. Not to mention the charcoal produced in Yunzhou, which makes it convenient for Youzhou to call it convenient, and the water boat has never been broken. ”
Good people were there boasting about the deeds of Princess Gu'an, and King Shou sat on his horse and looked into the distance, but he was thinking about his mother's instructions to him. In terms of generation, Princess Gu'an is the granddaughter of King Shouli, a generation younger than herself, in terms of identity, she is the prince of the prince, Princess Gu'an is only the concubine of the county lord of Lantian County, far less, but today she came, although her mother was to cater to her father, but she also took a fancy to the strong financial resources behind Princess Gu'an, as well as her deep-rooted connections in Yunzhou! It is said that when Princess Gu'an set off from Yunzhou, she brought more than a dozen carts of goods with her, which seemed to be not much, but several horses pulling carts on the road were tired to death.
"Coming, King, coming!"
This reminder in his ears brought Shouwang Li Qing back to his senses. As far as he looked, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and soon, the group was getting closer and closer. I saw that this team of about 100 people did not play any banners, and at a glance, the dusty team did not seem to be surprising. When the people got closer and closer, and then they could see the faces of those entourage guards, Li Qing, who had seen the sharp in the palace, was shocked to find that this group of big men marching silently were all burly and strong. He took a light breath and swung his horse forward, and sure enough, he heard a shout from the group, and then separated the group, making way for him. And from this, it was not the carriage he expected, but a single person.
He also thought that it was Princess Gu'an, but he didn't come forward but sent a servant, but unexpectedly, after the man stepped forward, he took off the hat on his head casually, and said with a smile: "How fortunate is the concubine, she dares to greet the king!" ”
Even if the man wears a beard and does not apply fat powder, Li Qing, the king of longevity, immediately realized that it was Princess Gu'an. Although Princess Gu'an also had a pilgrimage to Beijing in the past, but at that time he was still young, and he couldn't remember the square appearance clearly, at this moment, he found that Princess Gu'an was not a very beautiful person, and because she was not young, there were already fine lines between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but that kind of calm and unhurried look was very different from that of the noble women of the idle clan. He only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately arched his hand and said: "Your lord has returned from Yunzhou from afar, the saint and the civil and military officials of the court are all happy, how can the little king come to greet him, how can he reward your lord for his hard work?" ”
The two exchanged a few polite words to each other, and Li Qing, the king of Shou, let go of the horse's head and asked Princess Gu'an to enter Luoyang City first. But at this time, Princess Gu'an shook her head and said: "The carriage was bumpy all the way, and I was really dizzy when I sat down, so I changed my clothes and rode a horse." Now, if this scene enters the city, so that people will see that it must be despicable, how dare they be the first king? ”
If this is the case, Shouwang Li Qingtui can't do it, so he will enter the city first, but Princess Gu'an took the hat from the handmaid Zhang Yao who came up and followed closely behind. Nowadays, the atmosphere is more open than in the post-martial arts period of the year, and there were princesses of Taiping at that time, and now it is commonplace for ladies and ladies on the streets to ride horses, such as hats and other things that cover their faces, but they are not very common. But today, after all, Shouwang Li Qing greeted Princess Gu'an with such fanfare, so she had to be cautious. When she entered Luoyang Palace, an attendant led her to bathe and freshen up and change her clothes.
Half an hour later, the newly dressed Princess Gu'an came out of the side hall. She was wearing a narrow-sleeved embroidered blouse, covered with a red Luo half-arm, and a mud and gold veil, and the tulip skirt that dragged the ground was full of delicate lace outlined with gold and silver threads, which completely covered a pair of small heads decorated with gold and jade on her feet. This kind of dress is completely different from the men's clothes she usually wears for convenience, and she has to be extra careful when walking, so that when she is only halfway through, she can't help but whisper to Zhang Yao beside her: "If I have to do this every time I enter the palace in the future, then I can't bear it anymore!" ”
Having said that, when she really met the king, she still showed the instinct engraved in her bones after practicing etiquette for more than a year in order to marry King Xi's tooth tent, and her appearance and demeanor were impeccable.
The last time Princess Gu'an entered Beijing, the palace was still in power, and Concubine Wu Hui had only seen her a few times, and now with the Son of Heaven seeing this Princess Hefan again as the actual lord of the harem, she didn't know how many thoughts flashed in her heart. The two are two generations apart in terms of generation, but they are similar in age, but compared with Concubine Wu Hui, who is pampered in the palace, Princess Gu'an takes care of both inside and outside when she is in Yunzhou, and under the wind and sun, her face is naturally not as fair as Concubine Wu Hui, nor as plump as Concubine Wu Hui.
"Yuan Niang has been wandering outside for so many years, and now that she has finally been able to come back, I am finally relieved to talk." Li Longji didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with treating Princess Gu'an as his own daughter in what he said, but said more kindly, "You have been lonely for many years, if you have a fancy Junjie after returning to glory, you might as well mention it." ”
I am nearly forty years old, old and decrepit, and the man who is willing to marry me either takes a fancy to my wealth or my power, what is the use of that kind of man?
Princess Gu'an's heart was stunned, but she said respectfully on her face: "Your Majesty is grateful, and the concubine is grateful." However, the heart is like stagnant water, and there are no more ripples. Just to be able to live the rest of your life in abundance and happiness, that is enough. ”
"You're still in your prime, where is this state of mind? I heard that you are accompanied by tigers and wolves, and you have single-handedly created today's Yunzhou, if you marry you, wouldn't it be a tiger and wolf to follow, and the city to make up? Concubine Wu Hui smiled slightly, and actually got up to take Princess Gu'an's hand, and seeing her humility, she continued, "I heard that Yuan Niang is back, and the ninth sister has already said something to Her Majesty, please go to Anguo Female Taoist Temple to live temporarily, she also has a companion." ”
Princess Gu'an was overjoyed for a while, but she was still sincerely afraid and humbly resigned for a while before agreeing.
is worthy of Princess Yuzhen, she really knows her heart!
