Chapter 6: The Kingdom of Xia (1)

According to Fan Yu's description, Yuan Lie was still arrogant at Changning's makeup ceremony, but he really didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Useful information is that it has not been found out at all. It is also difficult to speculate on Won Yeol's next plan.

"Do you really think she's running away in vain?" Lin Yuan sneered suddenly: "The entourage with black stripes on his face beside Yuan Lie seems to be a very interesting person." ”

"Him?" Chu Xue scoffed: "There are many people in the Mongols who have a good temperament, and after the Mongolian king Yuanlie sat on the throne, he liked to reuse such courtiers. Niangniang listened to what the emperor said, this person dared to insult Niangniang! The king of Mongolia is still very permissive of him, which shows that he is a close confidant of the king of Mongolia, and he really deserves to be a master and servant. ”

"It would be nice if he was just annoying in temperament, but he had never met me, and he even humiliated me. Don't you think that's weird? Lin Yuan leaned idly on the soft couch, wrapped himself in a brocade quilt, squinted his eyes and began to nap: "The Mongolian envoy and his party, I think what I should pay attention to the most is not Yuan Lie, but this ...... Inexplicable Mongolian military attachΓ©. ”

Three days later, there was a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners in the palace, and it was the Shangguan general who was far away in the northwest who captured 100 Xiongnu generals with high official positions and sent them to the capital alive, and Tuoba Hong invited the envoys to watch the ceremony with great interest.

King Xiliang and his relatives are naturally also listed.

Under the walls of the Xuanwu Gate, several sturdy executioners slaughtered the prisoners on the spot, presenting them to the emperor as the most wonderful program of the day. Warm, crimson blood splattered on the walls, mixed with the hearty laughter of Tuoba Hong, and the flattery of the courtiers of Goryeo and Western Xia. The king of Xiliang was accustomed to seeing such a scene, and he also enjoyed himself with the emperor.

The head of a Xiongnu military general was encased in a precious Nanmu box, and the bright yellow Suzhou embroidered brocade was wrapped around it, which was held by the palace people and presented to the emperor on the city wall like a piece of jade jewelry. Tuoba Hong glanced at it, showed a satisfied face, and asked the king of Xiliang with a smile: "This is the general of the Huns, Kuixi, ten years ago, the little uncle fought with him, but there was no difference between victory and defeat." Isn't it happy that I can finally see his death today? ”

"The northwest battlefield has won one after another, and Weichen is here to congratulate the emperor." King Xiliang didn't have much joy on his face, and he didn't even want to answer the emperor's words.

Tuoba Hong looked at him steadily, Shaoqing, and said again: "Little uncle, don't you want to return to the battlefield again?" ”

King Xiliang sneered lowly.

He is no longer young, ten years ago he and the prince Tuoba Hong together to fight the Xiongnu, because of the brave military exploits of the year was appreciated by the emperor, since then he went to Yunzhou, where the water and grass are abundant. He no longer had to go to the battlefield to fight for his life, he was used to a comfortable life. Besides, God didn't give him a good body, he didn't know how long he could live, and it was not enough to have a short life and have fun in time, how could he care about the battle situation like Tuoba Hong?

Even if the head of his former enemy was sacrificed, he would not be excited.

"Your Majesty, the minister is weak and sickly, and he is useless......"

"No, little uncle!" Tuoba Hong's patience was once again exhausted by this fuel-efficient King of Western Liang. He frowned: "Uncle Huang is not in good health, so he can not go to the front line." But there are 200,000 defenders in Yunzhou City......"

Those soldiers and horses are all descendants who followed the king of Xiliang to fight back then. The war ten years ago achieved Tuoba Hong's throne, and the king of Western Liang can only be regarded as a foil. But digging deeper, the king of Xiliang also benefited greatly, because he was valued by his brother and the emperor because of that war, and changed from an inconspicuous prince to a powerful vassal king. He took the generals who followed him to the fiefdom of Yunzhou, and he fulfilled his promise to give them more officials and knights, and never went to the battlefield again. The soldiers of Yunzhou and their king had lived a life of abundance and luxury for ten years, and they had already received more rewards from that war than they could be.

Tsubahiro tried several times but could not convince him to return to the battlefield. The emperor was finally annoyed and couldn't help but question King Xiliang directly.

King Xiliang was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

Tuoba Hong's face changed in anger. When is it now, the Xiongnu invaded, and the Mongolian king wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and he, as the royal family of Great Qin, wanted to stay out of the matter......

There's no way around it. He took a deep breath and said, "The marriage of the prince of Xiliang ...... I wonder if Uncle Xiao has a suitable candidate? ”

As soon as he mentioned this stubble, King Xiliang's fingers shrank suddenly.

His eldest son, the poor child, was sick with the same disease as him. The difference is that he didn't get sick until he was over 30, while the child was 10 years old...... And the condition is much more serious.

Fortunately, he still has three concubines, but they are all concubines, and he only has one concubine.

Shizi can't live for a few years, and the only thing he can do for this child is to leave him a queen.

The emperor wanted to marry him a noble girl, and the king of Xiliang sounded very happy at first glance, but then he found that the people who wanted to marry were all not with high lintels, and he was not satisfied with any of them.

The Emperor later promised to keep an eye on him, but he still didn't hold out much hope. The real family will not sell their daughters for glory in order to rely on a Xiliang king, what kind of family background are the rest? Where is worthy of the son of Xiliang.

Today's emperor mentioned this time again, although the king of Xiliang was depressed, he still looked forward to it again.

He hurriedly said, "Is there any good candidate for the emperor?" ”

Tuoba Hong smiled lightly: "The last time Changning couldn't get married, I always regretted it in my heart." My eldest daughter, Fan Jade Emperor Ji, had to be sent to the temple because she was weak when she was young, and she was only brought back to the palace the year before last, and now she is eleven years old, which is the same age as the prince......"

King Xiliang listened dumbfounded.

In the end, he almost wanted to bow to Tuoba Hong.

***

A few days later, after Emperor Changning decided on the family affairs of the right prime minister Xiao Gongzi, the eldest daughter of the emperor, Emperor Fanyu, also decided to marry the prince of Xiliang.

In the eleventh year of Qianwu, happy events came one after another, bringing the atmosphere of worship to the peak. Different from the young Changning, Fan Yu is already eleven years old, and Tuoba Hong immediately issued an edict to marry the emperor and the prince, announcing it to the world.

On the second day of the marriage agreement, he left the capital with his relatives and returned to Yunzhou to fight his troops and horses, and went to the battlefield of the Xiongnu in the northwest. At this time, Tuoba Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't be happy - although Fan Yu was the most unvalued princess, and he had never been loved by him, this child was of great value in his heart. He wanted to send her to the Huns and relatives.

He had only three daughters...... The second daughter Changning is reluctant, although Zhaochun is only a niece, but if he really moves Zhaochun's thoughts, Shangguan Li may want to find him desperately. The only useful chess piece had to be wasted on the King of Xiliang, and he wanted to vomit blood at a loss.

had no choice but to secretly scold the king of Xiliang for taking advantage of the danger of others, and he was willing to let go only if he was forced to take out the emperor.

On January 25, the emperor personally decreed that Fan Yu was crowned as the Emperor of Huaikechang, and gave Weiwu City to make Tang Muyi.

Because it was Fan Yu who took the initiative to ask Ying to marry the prince of Xiliang, Tuoba Hong, a cold-hearted father, finally realized that he should give her some rewards as compensation for so many years. However, except for the name of a long emperor, Fan Yu didn't get much. Huai Ke's title, the princess next to her will have it since birth, only she, when she entered the palace as the emperor, she still has the name.

Not to mention that Weiwu City was the capital of Shu a thousand years ago, and now it has long since fallen.

On the day that the second dragon raised its head in February, the second group of prisoners of war was again transported into the capital from the northwest. Tuoba Hong deliberately chose this day to open an ancestral hall for Fan Yu, who had just been named the eldest emperor, to worship his ancestors.

The same ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, this time stirring up an even bigger wave. The emperor of Great Qin was intoxicated with the reverence of foreign envoys and the victory of the war in the northwest, he climbed the highest tower of Xuanwu Gate, overlooking the courtiers and people who shouted long live on the mountain below, and the blood of the prisoners of war being killed in public made the air of the entire capital float with a faint smell of blood.

When the captives were not all killed, General Chen, Chen Xiu, who had withdrawn from the battlefield and returned to Beijing to report, rushed up to the city tower with an anxious expression: "Your Majesty ......"

Tuoba Hong's face was full of joy, and he turned around and said, "Is it good news again?" He saw the crimson Pisces recital that Chen Xiu was holding in his hand, a color that would only come after he won.

"Yes, it's good news...... Chen Xiu gasped slightly: "It was three days ago, and the post official quickly sent the news to Beijing." However, our enemy army this time is not the Huns, but ...... Xia Guo. ”

Tuoba Hong's eyes widened in shock: "You say...... Xia Guo! ”

At this time, the Western Xia envoys, who were staring at the city wall with great interest, did not even hear Chen Xiu's words. They were very excited, worshipping the strength of the Qin State, and also hoped that one day the Xia State would have such a grand occasion.

"Go back to the palace!" Tuoba Hong turned his head and left, and the courtiers beside him were dumbfounded. The cheers of the subjects were so enthusiastic that almost all of them didn't notice what Chen Xiu was saying.

And Tuoba Hong's face was already very bad. He went straight back to Jianzhang Palace, and then passed on to the Minister of Military Aircraft to meet him. When the prime ministers on the left and right entered the main hall, they were still not happy, and they were still talking about the captives who had just been killed. Subsequently, Tuoba Hong smashed a roll of the newspaper at the feet of Prime Minister Zuo with an iron face.

Prime Minister Zuo was startled, picked it up and looked at it and was startled, and finally knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... That's impossible! Xia is not a powerful country, nor is it like the Xiongnu located in the northern region, the climate is harsh, and in order to survive, they have to go to war every year! Xia Guo...... The country is still fertile, famous for producing agate, and this country has not been at war for a hundred years. ”

Of all the foreign countries bordering Qin, Xia was not the weakest, but the most neglected. It is stronger than the Great Moon Kingdom, does not have the cruel living environment of the Xiongnu, and does not need to worry too much about livelihood; It is also not like Mongolia, which is rich in iron ore and BMW, and has the ambition of conquest while holding the capital. It is just a decent country, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the monarch is enlightened enough.

It is like a person who is self-aware and obedient, and he is always avoiding war and enjoying the comfort he deserves.
