Chapter 24: Three Girls
Today, Wanli is in the court, and there is really a very important matter, so it cannot be delayed. He wants to meet a very important woman: the third lady.
Sanniangzi's real name is Zhong Jin Hatun, and she is the daughter of Heng Aga, the leader of the Mongolian Turghut tribe. The three ladies are charming and charming, good at riding and shooting, and can be literary and martial. She was married when she became a twenty-year-old eldest girl, became the princess of Alatan Khan, and bore him a son.
When she was a princess, the third lady tried her best to persuade her husband to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, be friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and realize the tribute exchange with the Ming Dynasty. In the ninth year of Wanli, Alatan Khan died, and Sanniangzi became the de facto supreme ruler of the steppe.
At this time, Alatan Khan's eldest son, Huang Taiji, wanted to marry his stepmother, Sanniangzi, according to custom. The third lady was just in her early thirties, still young and beautiful, and there was nothing to remarry, but the third lady, who had been familiar with the Central Plains classics since childhood, was unwilling to remarry her husband's son according to the customs of the grassland, so she led her guard to run away with 10,000 fine horses.
One of the most powerful tribes in the steppe is in danger of secession. The tribe that was originally bloodline of the Golden Family took the opportunity to move. Sanniangzi is a ruler who is very friendly to the Ming Dynasty, if she marries Huang Taiji and maintains the unity of the tribes, she can suppress the grassland tribes and maintain peace with the Ming Dynasty as usual.
But if she insists on refusing to marry, the ministry will inevitably split, and other forces will take advantage of the opportunity. In view of this, the Ming court sent a minister to contact the third lady and persuade her to follow the custom and marry Huang Taiji.
The third lady finally listened to the advice of the Ming court, married Huang Taiji, and became Huang Taiji's princess. After Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, he eyed Daming, and it was the three ladies' painstaking persuasion that made Huang Taiji dispel the idea of war with Daming.
Huang Taiji died two years ago, and his eldest son, Pullik, was called Khan, and the third lady married Pullik, and he is still the de facto supreme ruler on the grassland. So for her arrival, Ming Ting attaches great importance to it.
And the three ladies have always regarded the Ming court as the orthodoxy of the world. He has repeatedly said that "the descendants and tribes have guarded the border for the Son of Heaven for generations". Therefore, for her arrival this time, the Ming court did its best to treat her, and today she went to the palace to face the king, of course, the son of Wanli attached great importance to it.
On behalf of the Mongolian tribes, the three ladies visited the great tomorrow, and in the court, the Wanli Emperor enshrined his husband Pullik as the Shunyi Khan, and the third lady as the first lady of Zhongshun, and gave a lot of wealth, and the three ladies were thankful and retired.
The usual order of the court meeting is to first receive foreign guests and vassal ministers, and then meet with local officials who have entered Beijing. In the end, it was discussed by the Beijing officials. Therefore, the third lady was the first to meet the Son of Heaven and leave the court.
The next few local officials who entered Beijing, Wanli just casually perfunctory, and without waiting for the Beijing officials to do something, he announced that the dragon was unwell today and retired early.
Shoufu Shen Shixing is a good old man with a gentle temper, not as strict as Zhang Juzheng. Lord Shoufu did not raise any objections, and besides, it was rare for the emperor to retire from the court in advance, and it was harmless to do it occasionally, and the officials did not come forward to find faults.
The Wanli Emperor retired from the dynasty. Boarding the imperial chariot, he immediately patted the handrail, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, immediately drive Concubine Chen!" ”
Concubine Chen was curious about Yingying's reaction. However, she also knew that the later she appeared at this time, the better, so she was not in a hurry, just groomed and dressed up steadily, and stopped dressing up. A woman in her thirties, radiant and charming, like a double ten girl.
Concubine Chen arrived at the front hall gracefully. When he raised his eyes, he couldn't see Mrs. Xia and Yingying, so he smiled at the few palace ladies standing in the palace and asked, "Where did Mrs. Xia and Miss Yingying go?" ”
Concubine Chen said as she walked out of the hall. In her opinion, Mrs. Xia and her daughter are either in the side hall or in the courtyard, and maybe Mrs. Xia will have to beg her to make decisions for her daughter's life with tears in her eyes.
A palace lady in the palace responded: "Mrs. Xia and Miss Yingying? Didn't the concubine tell them to leave? ”
Concubine Chen suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in surprise: "Leave? Where did they go? ”
Several Gong E's looked at each other, but it was still the Gong E's who replied in surprise: "I'm out of the palace!" The slave maid thought it was ...... It was the concubine who allowed them to leave the palace. ”
"What?"
Concubine Chen was stunned.
"...... Mrs. Chen"
Emperor Wanli crashed in, hurriedly looked into the palace, did not see Miss Yingying, nor did he see her mother, and immediately said to Concubine Chen: "Concubine, where is Miss Xia?" ”
Concubine Chen said sneeringly: "Miss Xia...... Already left with her mother. ”
"What?"
Emperor Wanli was stunned at first, and then became extremely angry: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai! Get me Xiaobai right away! ”
Xu Boyi stayed in the eunuch's room in the side compartment of the Qianqing Palace, and he drank all the cold tea in one go, his stomach was very swollen, and there was a sound of water when he shook it gently. Xu Boyi was holding his big belly and was about to go to make it easier, when Wanli's personal eunuch Sandezi stepped in: "Yo! Father-in-law Yu, you are here, so that our family is easy to find. The emperor wants to see you! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Mother, slow down, slow down, people's feet are going to break, he is the emperor, it's not good to rob people publicly, don't worry, slow down......" Xia Yingying was grabbed by Mrs. Xia's wrist and followed behind at a trot, panting.
Mrs. Xia said in a deep voice: "I said that I have finished driving in Beijing, why is the emperor still reluctant to let us go back to Guizhou, and what kind of Concubine Chen jumped out, and she reminisced with me every day, it turns out that the emperor is beating your idea!" ”
Seeing that the palace gate was just around the corner, Mrs. Xia breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and said to Xia Yingying a little breathlessly: "Yingying, after you go back, you immediately pack up and go back to your hometown, your mother is in Beijing!" ”
Xia Yingying said: "Mother, let's go together!" ”
Mrs. Xia said: "No, my mother entered Beijing by order, and leaving without holy will is a bully." You just accompany your mother to Beijing, but you don't have to worry about it! ”
Xia Yingying said worriedly: "Huh? The daughter goes first, what should the mother do? ”
Mrs. Xia glared at her and said, "If you leave, my mother will naturally be fine." Since the emperor has hit your idea, what should you do if you don't leave? Unless you want to be the Imperial Princess! ”
Xia Yingying shouted: "I don't want it!" I stay in such a big yard every day, I can't go anywhere, and everyone is bored and suffocated! ”
Mrs. Xia snorted and said, "You can't let go of that Ye Xiaotian, right?" ”
"Hey......
Xia Yingying's eyes were crooked with a smile, and she smiled a little silly. Of course, this is her mother's feeling, but in the eyes of the guards beside the royal road, this girl is smiling sweetly and prettyly. It was as if someone was gently scratching his heart with a feather, and it tickled to it.
"Well...... Brother Xiao Tian is slightly taller than him, huh...... Slightly stronger than him, the emperor is a little fat, and ...... Brother Xiao Tian was born more handsome than him, and he can talk better than him......"
Speaking of her sweetheart, Xia Yingying's eyebrows danced, thinking that her sweetheart was even better than the emperor in these aspects, and she was even more excited.
The two of them came out of the side of the palace group. When they reached the front, they had to turn onto the right path, and when they turned to the right path, the three ladies came out of the Taihe Palace, followed by eight little eunuchs, holding various gifts from the emperor.
When Xia Yingying saw the three ladies, she couldn't help beckoning happily: "Sister the three ladies!" ”
The third lady didn't squint at first, but when she saw two women coming from the side, she thought it was Gong E, and turned her head to see when she heard the shout. I couldn't help but smile. She sincerely likes this fiery little girl, probably because she is also hearty and does not hide her scheming, so she is particularly involved.
The third lady greeted her with a smile. Said heartily: "Little girl, have you seen your mother?" ”
As the third lady spoke, her eyes looked at Mrs. Xia, and she looked at the appearance of the two of them. This should be Xia Yingying's mother. But looking at her expression, it doesn't look like she has just been seriously ill, this Xia girl is really making a fuss.
Mrs. Xia looked at the three ladies. Hesitantly: "This is ......"
Yingying said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother, this sister is a good person, she is very powerful, and the whip is excellent." The daughter rushed into the palace to find her mother, and almost killed a stupid official, but this sister came to the rescue, or the daughter would have caused big trouble. ”
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she hurriedly saluted the third lady: "Thank you, Mrs. for helping the little girl!" ”
The third lady smiled and said, "Madame doesn't have to be polite, Ling Ai is very likable." ”
Seeing that this woman in a Mongolian robe could enter and leave the palace like this, Mrs. Xia was very curious about her identity, so she said, "Haven't you asked Mrs. for her name?" ”
Xia Yingying hurriedly said: "This sister said that her name is Sanniangzi, isn't it very good?" ”
"Three ladies?" When Mrs. Xia heard this title, she suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be ...... Could it be the three ladies of Mongolia Kedun? ”
Kedun means queen, queen, and concubine of the Great Khan in Mongolian. Mrs. Xia had heard her husband talk about the heroine who commanded hundreds of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses, and the woman in front of her was qualified to go to court, and she was wearing a Mongolian-style robe, and she was called the third lady, so Mrs. Xia dared to make a bold guess.
The third lady smiled and said, "It turns out that Madame has heard of my name!" ”
Mrs. Xia exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's Kedun!" "Hurry up and salute her again.
Guizhou Tusi is also regarded as a soil emperor in his own territory, but it is far worse than the other Ke Dunlai, whether it is authority, status, or the territory under his rule, or the number of children under his rule, this is the king of the grassland who is qualified to compete with the Ming court.
Xia Yingying looked at her mother curiously, it was rare to see her so solemn, Xia Yingying couldn't help but say, "Mother, what is Kedun?" Isn't this sister also a big official? ”
Mrs. Xia said, "Shut up! You kid, you don't learn and don't know how to do it! What a sister and sister, to be called Kedun! Don't be surprised, little girl......"
The third lady glanced at Xia Yingying, who pursed her mouth, and said with a smile: "How come, I like this little girl very much." Little sister, let's go, this is not the place to talk. ”
The third lady took Yingying's little hand, and while walking out, she said to Mrs. Xia and Yingying: "Little sister, just call me the third sister, I like to hear you call me that." Mrs. Xia, don't call me Kedun, it's weird, just call me the third lady! ”
Mrs. Xia is very happy, although there is a Ming Dynasty in Mongolia, and she can't fight with her Red Maple Lake, but it is not a bad thing to be able to make friends with such a Mongolian queen who holds real power.
Mrs. Xia smiled according to her meaning: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Mrs. Xia said, still uneasy and instructed Yingying: "Daughter, you, the third sister, are heroines on the northern grasslands, driving thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and ruling millions of people, but she is a great heroine!" ”
"Wow! Really? ”
Xia Yingying's eyes lit up, and she looked at the third lady with great admiration: "No wonder my sister's whip is so good, my sister taught me to make the whip good, I really like it!" ”
The third lady saw her eyes shining, and thought that she really admired her own authority and position, but she never expected that what she really admired was her own whip kung fu, as for Mongolia Kedun, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, millions of people or something, people didn't go to their hearts at all.
The third lady was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud, she affectionately hugged Yingying's shaved shoulders, and said with a smile: "Cheng!" Sister teaches you to play with whips! In the future, if your man is disobedient, you will use the kung fu taught by your sister to whip him hard, hahaha......"
