184, Empress Xiao
After Zhao Deyan left, Jingwen also planned to go out for a walk, after all, this is his nominal fiefdom! As for the safety issue, Jingwen was also broken. This is the territory of the Turks, and if the Turks want to kill themselves, then no matter how they prepare, it will be in vain! So, in that case, it's better to be generous and go out directly, what do you like! Anyway, the problem of their own security will be handed over to the Turks, and if they die at that time, then the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will fight!
Jingwen looked at the withering people's livelihood everywhere, and felt very sad in his heart, this is his own territory. Of course, it is not pleasant for anyone to see their territory occupied by others, and it is still very dilapidated.
"Tang Envoy, the old man wants to invite you to the inn for a bite to eat, what do you think?" An elderly woman said.
Jingwen saw this middle-aged woman and took the initiative to ask, "Who are you?" ”
"The old body is Yang Zhengdao's grandmother, the former Sui Xiao's Xiao!" The middle-aged woman said.
Jingwen hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Queen Xiao, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
"The name of the queen has been unworthy of the name after the change in Jiangdu. Now that Datang has opened the country, the old body is no longer a queen, just an ordinary woman. Empress Xiao said.
And Jingwen looked at this Queen Xiao and sighed for a while. This Empress Xiao has been in exile since Emperor Yang of Sui was killed more than eight years ago, and has been mixed under several princes. Finally, to the Turkic survival. For this reason, some people in later generations also spread false rumors, saying that Empress Xiao and these princes have an unclear relationship.
But now it seems that this news is all fake news. No matter how beautiful Empress Xiao was back then, she is now sixty years old. What's more, so many years of displacement make a person even older. Not to mention a woman. Therefore, those rumors are simply made up by people with good intentions. The purpose was to discredit the Sui Dynasty.
Empress Xiao took Jingwen to an inn, but there were actually no people here, even the shopkeeper was lazy. And after they entered, they let Xiao Er serve a few glasses of wine, and then took the initiative to talk.
"Tang Envoy, the old body wants to talk to you!" Empress Xiao said.
"Please!" Jingwen said.
Empress Xiao suddenly said: "The old body is already sixty years old, and how much dust has I experienced in this life, and there is nothing to ask for." The old body just wanted to ask the Tang envoy, can you talk to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty when you go back. The grandson of the old body is not what he wants to be the emperor, but the Turks and Princess Yicheng are persecuted! The old body does not want the Sui Dynasty to be revived, but only wants to be able to live a few days of peace with the grandson of the old body! ”
Empress Xiao was also sick and rushed to the doctor, and actually took the initiative to find Jingwen, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Empress Xiao is worried that her grandson Yang Zhengdao is the "emperor" after all, and I am afraid that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not let him go. According to the past practice, those heroes who became emperors will inevitably end up with death, and this is almost always the case. And his grandson Yang Zhengdao was forcibly erected by the Turks and Princess Yicheng to become the last emperor under the banner of the Sui Dynasty. So I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty won't let him go. However, Empress Xiao was sick and rushed to the doctor, and wanted to ask Jingwen, an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, to talk to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to spare her grandson.
Although there are many factors in this, such as whether Jingwen is willing to help. And what kind of person the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was, whether he was a generous person or not, this is a question. Although this hope seems more slim. But Empress Xiao still hopes to have it. Now Empress Xiao just wants to grab the last straw so that her grandson can survive.
"Empress Xiao. This is no longer something that our ministers can agree to, so I'm afraid I can't promise you anything. But I can say yes. You write a letter and I'll give it to the emperor when I go back. As for what the emperor thinks, I can't know this. Jingwen said.
"Okay, thank you Tang Envoy." Empress Xiao said.
In fact, Jingwen doesn't know the future outcome of this Yang Zhengdao, but Jingwen probably knows that Li Shimin should not kill this Yang Zhengdao, because Li Shimin is not the kind of person who loves to kill.
"Tang Envoy, have you heard of Xiao Yu?" Empress Xiao asked.
"I've heard that the relationship is not bad! Especially Xiao Wei, the daughter of Lord Xiao Yu, and I have now also organized a son-in-law association, and Xiao Yu is also the prime minister in her heart. Jingwen said.
"Oh? It turns out that Xiao Wei's little girl has grown up, and I saw him back then. But how is he now? Xiao Yu has now become the prime minister of Datang, so it will be much easier. Please give me another letter, Xiao Yu, who should be able to help me say a few words. Empress Xiao said.
Jing Wen only then knew that Queen Xiao was actually Xiao Yu's sister, that is, Xiao Wei's aunt. However, if Xiao Yu can take the risk of saying a few words, then this Yang Zhengdao should have no problem at all. Therefore, Jingwen also put away the letter from Queen Xiao to Xiao Yu, and prepared to hand it to Xiao Yu when he went back.
"Tang Envoy, I want to tell you a piece of news, I'm afraid you won't come out casually in the future. Because Kedun, that is, Princess Yicheng, she has never given up the idea of wanting to kill you. Therefore, you should be careful during this time, stay in the post house as much as possible, and don't come out lightly. If he seizes the opportunity to kill you, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty and the Turks to make peace. Empress Xiao said.
"Why are you suing me about this?" Jingwen asked.
Empress Xiao sighed and said, "Back then, my husband Yang Guang did too much abuse of people's power and harmed the people of the world. Now the people are finally cultivating and recuperating, and they can live a peaceful life for a few days, and the old body doesn't want them to return to the troubled times again. In this world, the Great Sui has passed, and there is no need to make some unrealistic ideas. But Princess Yicheng was unwilling, and the old body had no way to stop him. This is the territory of the Turks, Princess Yicheng is already dominant, and the old body does not have any strength to stop him. Therefore, the old body can only advise you to be careful and avoid giving Princess Yicheng a chance. For example, today's random things should be done less. ”
"Okay, I'll be sure to stay in the inn as much as possible. I really didn't expect that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty would be able to have a wife like you who understands righteousness, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not live this life in vain! Jingwen said.
"What? Do you even think that your husband is a hero? Empress Xiao asked in disbelief. (To be continued......)
