Chapter 277: I Have a Neighbor

The last time Gou Shen and Dahan and Qin Wusun were making Chang Hui escort Princess Xiangfu from Dunhuang County, Chang'an Province, it took three months. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

That time was for safety, and this time, Gou Shen traveled all the way, traveling from Chang'an on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and arrived in Dunhuang County, which was only the middle of February.

Gou Shen led the people all the way to the county government to send far away from the county government needless to say, just on the day of arriving in Dunhuang County, Dunhuang County Taishou Chen Pu personally went out of the county ten miles to meet Gou Shen.

Gou Shen is still the same Gou Shen, but now his identity has become the new protector of the Western Regions of the Han Kingdom, and he is the younger brother of the queen of the Han Kingdom, which is a relative.

Therefore, Chen Pu took such a lot of pains.

On the day that Gou Shen was welcomed to Dunhuang by Chen Pu, Dunhuang County set up a banquet and solemnly drank Gou Shen to Dunhuang again.

After the song ended, Chen Pu personally sent Gou Shen to the mansion to rest, and then turned to leave.

In fact, since Chen Pu accepted the surrender of the Xiongnu Tuqi tribe on behalf of the Han State last winter, he felt that he should have the possibility of promotion in the near future, but Chen Pu did not expect that the edict of his transfer and promotion did not arrive.

The world is impermanent!

When facing Gou Shen again, Chen Pu had to sigh that "the destiny of heaven is difficult to know", and he had to do his best to be "humane and easy to keep".

"Why don't you have a sister or sister who has been lost for a long time?"

Chen Pu's mind was too lazy to guess, and when Chen Pu left, he paused for a while before he went out to Chang Hui to ask for a meeting.

Chang Hui really didn't rest, and at the banquet just now, Chang Hui's mood didn't seem to be high. And Gou Shen visited this time, Chang Hui felt that this Gou Shen was still that Gou Shen, and he did not look above the top because of the change of identity, he was really a caring person.

"Master Hou. Last winter. Gou Shen sent Wei Heyi back to Chang'an, and when he left, the Hou Ye said that he wanted Gou Shen to go early and return early. Clinker, things did not meet people's wishes, but delayed the Hou Ye stationed in Dunhuang for a long time. ”

"Gou Shen, honest and fearful. Shameful. ”

Faced with Gou Shen's self-blame, Chang Hui shook his head and said, "What does this have to do with Du Hu? ”

"Du Hu's experience in Chang'an, the old man's family has come to mention in a letter, Du Hu is not easy, go in Tingwei, come out Du Hu, it can be regarded as two lives."

"Come on. Just now, there were many people talking, and the old man would replace the wine with tea, wishing Du Hu great achievements in the Western Regions in the future. ”

Gou thanked Chang Hui, and the two of them asked for a drink: "Since last year, the prince of the Xiongnu Tu tribe, Gu Yulou, was brought to Chang'an by the Hou Ye. The Son of Heaven has already accepted them, and the border between the Han Kingdom and the Xiongnu should be temporarily peaceful, but why did the Xiongnu attack on the Wusun Kingdom? ”

"Please teach me."

Chang Hui nodded and said, "I went to Chang'an last year, and I really don't know anything about the Western Regions. ”

"At that time, Tu Qi Shan Yu led an army of 40,000 to conquer Che Qi Shan Yu, Che Li was defeated, retreated to the northwest, Hu Han Xian took the opportunity to sneak attack Tu Qi Shan Yu, and Tu Qi Shan was angry, and led the army to attack Hu Han Evil, but the heavens are not beautiful, the sky is going to die Tu Qi, Tu Qi Shan Yu encountered a snowstorm, almost the whole army was wiped out, this is why Tu Qi Shan committed suicide and Tu Qi's son Gu Qilou came to seek help from the Han and was captured by Du Husheng."

"And Qu Dulong and Tu Qi Shan Yu's little prince Gu Qilou surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the car plough Shan Yu also surrendered to Hu Han Evil."

"And after Tu Qishan committed suicide, the Xiongnu Shan Yuting area was empty, and the original Xiongnu Dongwu Shan Yu took the opportunity to make trouble and occupied Shan Yuting."

Gou Shen asked: "Master Hou, didn't this Wu Yi Shan Yu give up Shan Yu's name together with Hu Jieshan Yu and defect to Che Lishan Yu?" ”

"Yes," Chang Hui said, "What Du Hu said is that the Huns were capricious, and Wu Yu wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, so he regained his independence and occupied Shan Yuting. ”

"But Wu Yi Shan Yu was weak in the end, and he was defeated by Hu Han Xie's army in a few days, and Wu Yi Shan Yu was also killed."

"As for the Huns who raided Wusun, the old man thinks that these people should be assigned by Huhan Evil's cousin, King Xiu Xun."

"I heard that this king of Xiu Xun set himself up as Yan Zhen Shan Yu in the west, and this person seems to have some friendship with the mad king, I don't know, the year will suddenly attack Wusun, whether it has anything to do with the killing of the mad king and the punishment of Shen Shen."

Chang Hui glanced at Gou Shen and said: "According to the envoy of Wusun, Han Liyu, the main target of the Huns attack at the beginning was Wuzhitu, but the Huns somehow turned in the direction of Chigu City halfway through, so the Wuzatu tribe did not have much loss, and the situation in Chigu City was not optimistic." ”

Gou Shen thought about it and said: "What Hou Ye said is reasonable, I also think that it is true that the Huns avenged the mud, but the reason for the half-way turn may be that they feel that the slaughter of Wu is strong and Chigu City is weak." ”

"Therefore, the Son of Heaven has an edict to let the Hou Ye preside over the marriage of the princess Xiangfu to Wusun as soon as possible, presumably in order to quickly stabilize the hearts of the people of Chigu City."

"This, the old man knows, tomorrow, the old man will let people go to Chigu City to see Yuan Guimi, and ask them Wusun and the pro-envoy to come to marry the princess, when the time comes, the old man will go to Chigu City, and the matter of peace and relatives will be completed, and at that time, the marriage of Duhu and Princess Qiqige will also be put on the agenda."

Gou Shen listened and bowed to Chang Hui: "Everything has Lao Houye." ”

Chang Hui smiled: "The more ants are driven by meat, and the more ants are driven by fish, and the more flies are driven by fish, the Huns are also unprofitable, thinking of Wusun's civil strife and taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"This land in the Western Regions should also need to be well coordinated."

Gou Shen listened silently.

Chang Hui's words have something to say, if it was the Xiongnu Yan Zhenshan Yu who went to Wusun Country last year to harass him, then this person may have wanted to go to Wusun by surprise to pick up a bargain.

Because in the past, if the Huns sent troops, it was often in the autumn season when the grass was high and the grass was fertile, and the opposite thing was often unprofitable and not early.

Or, this newly established leap Zhenshan Yu just wanted to establish his reputation among the Xiongnu through the sneak attack of the New Year.

And Chang Hui's words also have a meaning, that is, Zheng Ji, the protector of the Western Regions, is indeed old, and there is more or less an idea that more things are better than less things.

Zheng Ji may not want to stop Yan Zhenshan Yu, who went to attack Wusun, but he has a little to get by, and he stays up one day at a time. Therefore, the Huns retreated after beating Chigu Castle.

"Zheng Duhu has been in the Western Regions for decades, with no merit and hard work, and now he is rewarded by the Son of Heaven as the Marquis of Anyuan. You can also return to your hometown. ”

I don't know if the elderly like memories and gloomy moods. Chang Hui said, his face lonely again.

It's not too early to see if it's too early. After saying goodbye, before he returned to his residence, Princess Xiangfu sent someone to invite him over.

Gou Shen shook his head in his heart, and he knew that Princess Xiangfu couldn't sit still.

From last year to Dunhuang to now. I was in Wusun for a while, I was in Chang'an, running back and forth, and I experienced a lot of things, but what about Liu Xiangfu? It is difficult to move an inch in Dunhuang.

Gou Shen has always felt that Princess Xiangfu is definitely not a woman who is easy to get along with, or can endure loneliness, although she is weak on the outside, but she is assertive in her heart.

This kind of person has been neglected by life for too long, and human nature has been suppressed for too long. Once there is an opportunity to turn over and be the master, you will never give up the opportunity that is close at hand.

Gou Shen asked his people to go back to his life first, he went to the residence to get something, and went to Princess Xiangfu's side.

I haven't seen the princess for a few months. Gou Shen felt that she had really lost a lot of weight, and she was already weak, but now she was a little skinny.

After Gou finished paying homage, Princess Xiangfu opened her lips and said: "Congratulations to the husband, I heard that Du Hu and the queen's sister recognize each other, which makes people really feel embarrassed." ”

Gou Shen thanked Princess Xiangfu and said: "The wind can't be tied, the shadow can't be caught, Gou Shen has been up and down for more than ten years, and now he has a little less of what happened around him." ”

Liu Xiangfu's face has thinned, but her eyes are getting bigger, she looked at Gou Shen and said: "The heroes among the people of the capital, even if there is no barrier of the queen, it is not difficult to get ahead in the Han Kingdom......"

Sure enough, this Liu Xiangfu pulled the topic to herself, and Gou Shen said: "When Gou Shen left Chang'an this time, the Son of Heaven said that Gou Shen was ordered to reach the marriage of the princess as soon as possible. ”

"Just now, Gou Shen has already met with the old marquis, and the marquis also said that tomorrow he will go to Wusun to see Wusun Wang Yuangui, and he wants the relatives of Wusun to come as soon as possible to welcome the princess."

Hearing Gou Shen say this, Liu Xiangfu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "So, thank you so much." ”

"Princess, Gou Shen is just a protector, the princess is a daughter, it is true that as the princess said, the princess was also a woman who suffered before she was married, but in the future, the princess will be the princess of Wusun.

"Otherwise, it will be difficult for Gou Shen to agree."

Gou Shen said, took out a box, Liu Xiangfu was stunned, she recognized this box, it was given to Gou Shen after arriving in Dunhuang.

Sure enough, Gou Shen opened the box, and there was a night pearl inside, and there were more than a dozen beads the size of a dragon's eye around, which were very dazzling and good-looking.

Princess Xiangfu asked hesitantly on her face: "Duhu, what does this mean?" ”

Gou Shen replied: "The minister grew up in Yingchuan since he was a child, and he also heard that the night pearl has 'thirty-six colors, seventy-two glows, one hundred and eight lights', which is rare for ordinary people to see, and I heard that this night pearl can only be owned by the emperor." ”

"I don't want to be able to see it from the princess that day, it's really comforting."

"A gentleman doesn't take away people's favor, such a valuable gift can only be owned by you, the princess, the future Princess Wusun, how can you be able to keep this bead by your side and play with it for some time, and it is already a blessing."

"Please take it back to the princess."

Liu Xiangfu looked at Gou Shen and said, "Could it be that Du Hu dislikes Xiangfu's gift too lightly, or is he afraid that this thing will come from the wrong source?" ”

Gou Shen bowed to Princess Xiangfu and said, "No, Gou Shen doesn't dare to speculate about the princess like this." ”

"Princess, I've thought too much."

"Then, why did you accept my gift here last year, and now, you return the gift, isn't this because of your high status and broad vision at this time?"

Liu Xiangfu looked at Gou Shen and said, "Or, do you want to protect your husband in the future, what is the connection with Wusun?" ”

Princess Xiangfu said without waiting for Gou to defend herself: "Xiangfu knows about the marriage of Duhu and Princess Qiqige, but Xiangfu went to Akita City just to reunite with his aunt and have a stable place to live from now on." There is absolutely no meaning to go against the capital. ”

"Please think twice and have mercy on ......"

Gou Shen sighed and said, "The princess really misunderstood Gou Shen. ”

"Actually, Gou Shen didn't want to accept this gift from the princess in the first place......"

"But you still accept it?"

"Princess," Gou Shen nodded and said, "Please listen to Gou Shen's explanation." ”

"What was the environment back then, now. What is the environment? The so-called this time and that time. Of course, this has nothing to do with Gou's participation in the queen's recognition. Even if there is no queen's sister, Gou Shen will return this thing to the princess after the princess arrives in Wusun safely. ”

"Huh?"

Princess Xiangfu was a little incredulous, and Gou Shen said, "At the beginning. The princess left Chang'an, alone, without relatives, how panicked was she in her heart? Who is Gou Shen? is just a school captain, but the princess regards Gou Shen as dependent, and is bent on gambling her future happiness on Gou Shen. ”

"Gou Shen, how can he de?"

"Yes. Entrusted by others, he must be loyal to others, although Gou Shen has decided to do his best to help the princess achieve the marriage of Wusun, but there is no basis for his words, and we have never had any deep friendship. How can you convince the princess that Gou Shen is indeed single-minded to the princess? ”

Therefore, the princess handed over the night pearl to Gou Shen, and Gou Shen accepted it smoothly, so that the princess could rest assured and no longer have to worry about kissing.

"That's it, every time I see the princess getting thinner and thinner, Gou Shen's heart is also very sad......"

As Gou Shen spoke, Princess Xiangfu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Later, Wusun's situation changed rapidly, and Gou Shen himself also experienced a lot."

"Now, seeing that the matter of harmony is about to be reached, whether it is from Gou Shen's side, or the princess's side, or Wusun Yuan's noble side, there is no reason for the death of the harmony, so under the current circumstances, it is no longer necessary for Gou Shen to hold this night pearl."

"In the past, the night pearl was collected to make the princess feel at ease, and this will return the night pearl, which means that the minister has fulfilled his duty, so it is better to return such a precious gift to the original owner."

"The so-called pearl is round and jade, good things come in pairs, and the treasure and the princess are together, which also shows that the princess will be in the Wusun country in the future, and she will be harmonious and beautiful, and happy with each other."

After Gou Shen finished speaking, Liu Xiangfu couldn't stop jumping very hard in his heart.

Liu Xiangfu didn't expect that this Gou Shen was still such a person, it can be seen that he really misinterpreted him in the past.

Gou Shen is really a man worthy of deep friendship, but unfortunately, he is someone else's husband......

Liu Xiangfu secretly sighed about his life experience, and Gou Shen said: "I was promoted by the Son of Heaven to protect the Western Regions this time, and after the peace affair is completed, I will definitely take it as my responsibility to increase the protection and peace of the countries in the Western Regions, and I will never let rebellion and foreign attacks become a problem that plagues the countries of the Western Regions, so the princess can rest assured in Wusun." ”

After Gou Shen finished speaking, the room fell into a short silence, and after a long time, the princess said faintly: "Can the envoy know about the Spring and Autumn Period?" ”

"I don't know, please give the princess advice."

Princess Xiangfu pondered for a while and said: "Shengbo's name is Gongsun Yingqi, his surname is Ji, his uncle is Zi's family, his name is Yingqi, he is the grandson of Lu Wengong, so he is also called Gongsun Yingqi." ”

"And Gongsun Yingqi's father is called Shudi."

"Gongsun Yingqi's mother is not the wife of Shudi, Shudi and Gongsun Yingqi's mother lived together without a dowry ceremony, and because of jealousy and the distribution of power, Lu Xuangong's concubine Mu Jiang was very dissatisfied with this, she thought that she could not treat a woman who had not been married seriously as a concubine."

"Therefore, after Gongsun Yingqi's mother gave birth to Yingqi, Shudi abandoned his mother, and soon after, this woman married Guan Yuxi, who was in the state of Qi at that time."

Uncle Di was a prominent person in the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his marriage must be proposed by the imperial court to other princes and kings with different surnames, and through the so-called "six rites" such as Nacai, asking names, Naji, Nazheng, invitation, and greeting, he can marry in the media, but Shu Di violated the etiquette system and made a private agreement with a woman who did not know her name and nationality for life.

In this way, Shu Di is very rebellious, and Shu Di's sister-in-law, Mu Jiang, Lu Xuangong's wife, is very angry, she said: "I don't take concubines as concubines." "It means that I can't become a concubine with a shameless concubine like Gongsun Yingqi's mother.

Mu Jiang is Lu Guojun's wife, and after Gongsun Yingqi's mother was kicked out of the house, Shu Di also died in depression.

As for Guan Yuxi of Qi State, he was a doctor of Qi State at that time and a descendant of Guan Zhong.

"After Gongsun Yingqi's mother gave birth to two children, Guan Yu Xi died, and the woman became a widow again, so she entrusted the two children to Gongsun Yingqi, who was already Lu Guoqing's doctor at the time, Gongsun Yingqi made his mother and Guan Yu Xisheng's younger brother a doctor, and married his half-sister to a person named Shi Xiaoshu."

"However, it didn't take long for the Jin State to come to the Lu State and told Gongsun Yingqi that he wanted to ask for a wife, and Gongsun Yingqi actually took his half-sister who was married to Uncle Shi Xiao from Uncle Shi Xiao and gave it to Uncle Shi."

"At this time, Gongsun Yingqi's half-sister said to Uncle Shi Xiao, birds and beasts can't lose their spouses, and now I'm going to go to Yinli, what should you do?"

"Uncle Shi Xiao replied: I can't betray Gongsun Yingqi for a woman, then I will be killed or expelled."

"So, Gongsun Yingqi's half-sister had to marry Yin Li of the Jin Kingdom and gave birth to two children there."

"A few years later, because of the power struggle of the Jin State, the whole family was killed, and Gongsun Yingqi's half-sister and her two children were sent back to the Lu State, Uncle Shi Xiao was very happy to go to the Yellow River to pick up his former wife because of Gongsun Yingqi, but as soon as he saw the two children, he sank them into the Yellow River and drowned."

"Gongsun Yingqi's half-sister angrily scolded Uncle Shi Xiao and said, you couldn't protect your wife and make her leave, and now you can't raise orphans and kill them, people like you are really not worthy of being a man."

"As a result, Gongsun Yingqi's half-sister did not become Uncle Shi Xiao's wife anymore."

Princess Xiangfu was speechless after speaking, looking at Gou Shen, Gou Shen knew in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't say that Yuan Guimi was not Uncle Shi Xiao, right?

"After the princess finished speaking, Gou Shen could only reiterate that if Gou Shen was in the Western Regions for a day, he would definitely protect the safety of Wusun Kingdom and the princess until death."

Gou Shen pondered for a while and said: "For example, I have a neighbor, when I was young, he kept stealing me, bullying me, robbing me, and harassing my women, but when I am now grown up, he is old and weak, and he begins to please me, for fear that I will retaliate against him. ”

"The princess said, what should I do to this neighbor who bullies the weak and fears the hard?"

Gou Shen said in a deep voice: "The Xiongnu are now in civil strife, just like the villain neighbor that Gou Shen said in his mouth, although the princess is relieved, and see how Gou Shen treats them in the future." ”

Princess Xiangfu sighed in her heart, she was talking about this, but Gou Shen looked left and said something else, this is really fate, and she can't help herself.
