Chapter 32: The Real Empress Xiao
The scene in front of him made Luo Shixin a little dizzy.
He had already guessed that the cute child in front of him who looked like a porcelain doll was Yang Guang's grandson Yang Zhengdao, and he also understood that he was wearing an adult's brocade suit, and he also understood: Yang Zhengdao was the emperor in name after all, and he usually wore a dragon robe.
It's just that he didn't expect Yang Zhengdao to come and kneel to offer the jade seal......
The heirloom jade seal, a priceless treasure of China, a symbol of the king: its origin is well known. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he ordered people to carve the jade seal of the legendary Baoyu and the clan, and ordered Li Si to write the eight characters of "Ordered by the Heavens, Both Longevity and Yongchang", and then the jade seal of the country became a symbol of the emperor's military power. It is this jade seal, which can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties, and countless Ming monarchs and lords held it and issued orders one after another.
In his memory, the real heirloom jade seal was destroyed at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingtang led the Khitan army to Luoyang, and the last emperor Li Congke embraced the heirloom seal to the Xuanwu Tower and set himself on fire, and the heirloom jade seal disappeared. Although there are also rumors later, during the period of Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, the jade seal of the country reappeared, but the authenticity cannot be distinguished.
At present, there is no doubt that the jade seal in Yang Zhengdao's hand that was passed down to Yang Sui is indeed genuine, a priceless treasure handed down by Qin Shi Huang.
Luo Shixin swallowed his saliva for a while, didn't dare to accept it for a while, leaned back, and said in a low voice: "Should I take this or not, no one will sue me for accepting the jade seal of the country, is there a rebellion?" He inexplicably let the two villains make false accusations to win over the people, and he had bad intentions. Now he was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, but he didn't want to be impeached for some reason.
Liu Renliang smiled. He said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the general, Kang Sumi surrendered to the general, Yang Zhengdao, Xiao Hou and others are all prisoners of the general, they are begging to surrender to the Tang Dynasty instead of the general." The general has the right to accept Yang Zhengdao's offering, but remember. The general accepted the surrender of the previous dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and the jade seal was in hand and carefully enshrined. After the triumph. Transferred to Majesty xià. Don't kick it in your arms and play privately, and you are reluctant to hand it over. ”
"Am I stupid?" Luo Shixin muttered in a low voice, this heirloom jade seal in the dead of night. Secretly observe it to see what it looks like, but he did it, kicking this heirloom jade seal that can burn people to death in his arms and playing with it, what is the difference between it and lighting a lamp in the toilet.
There are words of Liu Renliang. Rothson is much more at ease. He said in a deep voice: "Luo Shixin, the general of the Datang Town Army, accepts your surrender on behalf of Datang. He cautiously took the jade seal of the country with both hands, and at this time Liu Renliang had already ordered someone to find a wooden tray and present it.
Luo Shixin put the heirloom jade seal into the tray and sent it to the Chinese army's big tent.
Seeing that the group of people kneeling in front of him were old and small, he couldn't bear to see them suffer, so he personally helped Yang Zhengdao up and asked everyone to get up.
Yang Zhengdao was accustomed to being intimidated by Jieli in the Turks. He was very timid, but he saw that Luo Shixin was friendly and gentle. He also looks polite, not vicious at all, and helped him up, the timidity in his heart was a little less, and he said thank you obediently.
Without waiting for Luo Shixin to speak, he ran to the old woman's side with an arrow step, took her hand and shouted: "Grandmother, grandmother, I did it, the eldest brother is not fierce at all." ”
When Luo Shixin heard this, it was like a thunderbolt smashing his head, and he was dumbfounded......
Grandmother......
He called her grandmother......
Luo Shixin always thought that Empress Xiao was the charming woman who fainted, and wondered why the rumored virtuous Empress Xiao was like a shrew. This old woman next to Yang Zhengdao is his wet nurse or something, but he never thought that this old woman turned out to be Queen Xiao who he had been thinking about for a long time. Directly thundered him, he was scorched and tender outside, his nerve center was blocked, and he couldn't take care of himself.
This online article is harmful, and the online article misleads me!
Originally, he thought that the woman was Empress Xiao, and she was a little disappointed, but she could also understand a thing or two.
It is true that Li Shimin is a wise man, but he is a pervert, there is no doubt about it. Maybe he is just like Cao Cao, he has some special life habits, a heavier appetite or something, and he can still accept it.
But now Luo Shixin is 100% sure that the so-called "history you don't know" messy online articles about Li Shimin's Naxiao are false.
Empress Xiao in front of him has reached a certain age, and the years have left indelible traces on his body, the boring skin on his face has deep wrinkles, and his head is full of gray and white sideburns, and he can no longer find a pure black one. It's not that he discriminates against the elderly, but he really doesn't believe that Li Shimin, who is in his prime, and gathers handsome, status, and power, will fall in love with an old man......
Although Li Shimin is indeed a beast in this regard, he is not a beast here.
In fact, as he saw, the real Empress Xiao was not made up in the online articles staged on TV. The real Empress Xiao is the great-granddaughter of Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming of the Liang Dynasty, and the daughter of Xiao Yue, the emperor of Xiaoming of the Western Liang Dynasty.
According to the records in the "Northern History", Empress Xiao was born in the fifth year of Tianbao in Western Liang, that is, in 566 AD. When she married Yang Guang, she was sixteen years old and Yang Guang was thirteen years old, which was older than Yang Guang. In history, Li Jingzhenguan broke the Turks in four years and welcomed back Empress Xiao. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, that is, in 630 AD, Empress Xiao was sixty-four years old, and Li Shimin was thirty-two......
Now, because of the emergence of Luo Shixin, he has promoted the course of history. In this year, the year of the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Turks was the ninth year of Wude. Putting history back a full four years, Empress Xiao is exactly sixty years old.
When Empress Xiao followed Yang Guang in her early years, she naturally wanted to be as prosperous and wealthy as possible, but after Yang Guang died, she lived a life under the fence. In ancient times, there were all kinds of expensive skin care products and various anti-aging hormones, which can delay the aging of human skin. In this era, no matter how well maintained people are, they can't resist the traces of time. What's more, Empress Xiao has been living under the fence and far away from the harsh grassland for nearly ten years.
Today's Empress Xiao is a very ordinary and ordinary old man.
Empress Xiao touched her grandson's head lovingly, revealing a kind smile: when Yang Guang was killed, she had already decided to die together. Although Yang Guang has no way, although Yang Guang does not listen to her advice, he treats her very well. But just before committing suicide, she accidentally learned that because her son Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, was greedy for joy with the palace maid because of absurdity, he actually left a posthumous son. Yu Wenhua killed all the descendants next to Yang Guang, but left out Yang Zhengdao, the unborn widow. Since then, Yang Tsung-do has been her only reason to survive.
"Xiao ......" Luo Shixin opened his mouth, not knowing what to shout.
Empress Xiao smiled, saw through Luo Shixin's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Everything is like a cloud of smoke, and the status is already in the past." The general doesn't have to be too formal. If the general doesn't dislike it, call me Xiao Qilao...... "The ancients were very particular about titles, what is the year of the dancing spoon, the year of the dancing elephant, the weak crown, and the cardamom years have a fixed age. The sixtieth is also sixty, and the ancients collectively called the elderly over sixty years old "elderly".
Luo Shixin didn't know these things so clearly, but in the face of a kind old man, he didn't have a lot of vigilance, not to mention that there was really a problem Liu Renliang couldn't keep his voice out, and he also shouted: "Elder Xiao Qi, before I set out on the expedition, my brother Xiao Yu gave me the opportunity to meet the elder and take care of him, but I didn't want to really have the opportunity to taste the promise." The elders can rest assured in the army, and when our army triumphs, I will escort you to Chang'an to meet. ”
Empress Xiao's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia, "Shi Wen is okay, he still remembers my sister!" ”
Luo Shixin smiled and said: "Elder Xiao Qi, rest assured, Brother Ling is now the minister of state of my Tang Dynasty, and he is deeply respected by His Majesty today." He is also upright, and he is a great character. ”
Empress Xiao smiled with satisfaction and sighed: "He has been smart since he was a child, and I told him that Shiwen would definitely be able to become a great tool at the beginning...... Forget it, when you're older, you talk a lot, don't be surprised by the general! As she spoke, a little nostalgia appeared on her old face. Who he refers to, it goes without saying.
Luo Shixin asked Liu Renliang to settle Empress Xiao and her entourage, so that he could entertain him.
At this time, the attendant carried the faint woman and walked in front of Luo Shixin, and then he remembered that there was such a person, and asked Xue Wanjun to see if he knew who the woman was.
Xue Wanjun picked them up, and he also had a certain understanding, and said: "He is the princess Yicheng who was sent to the Turks and relatives back then, and now the Turkic Kedun, a slut who has forgotten his ancestors." ”
Only then did Luo Shixin know that she was Princess Yicheng, one of the culprits who had instigated the Turks to go south many times, cholera in the Tang Dynasty, and endangered the people, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of fierceness.
It is true that Princess Yicheng's experience is indeed pitiful, but pity is definitely not a reason for her to instigate Jieli and persuade him to send troops to plunder the Central Plains and persecute the people.
"Come on, put this Princess Yicheng in solitary confinement, restrict her freedom, and not have contact with anyone. The food didn't let her starve to death, not too much. If she does not resist, allow you to gag her mouth and tie her hands and feet. "Luo Shixin didn't have the authority to execute her, if he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he would have ordered her to be cut down a long time ago. But in his memory, Li Jing did the same. After capturing Princess Yicheng, Li Jing killed her directly.
I'll keep him for a few days.
Roth said in faith.
Just when Luo Shixin settled Empress Xiao and her party, Jieli, who was preparing to retreat in the Turkic Khan's court, received the news of Kang Sumi's surrender. (To be continued......)
