Chapter 19: The Manchu and Han Dynasties

Jian Ning was silent for a moment.

She looked left and right, and whispered to Sizhen: "I have a few words to say to you, let them all go down." ”

She glanced at Lu Xiu, who led the people of Hanzhang Hall down first.

Sizhen glanced at the thrush, and the thrush also retreated.

Jianning still didn't speak.

Sizhen said with a smile: "It is said that we Han people have a lot of intestines, I think there, there are many of you." ”

Jian Ning didn't understand what she was talking about, and looked at Sizhen with a questioning expression.

"Don't you have something to say? Why are they all going down, and you are still like a gourd with a stuffy mouth? ”

"Ah Zhen, you said, my sisters, all of them are married to Manchu and Mongolian princes and nobles, why do the queen mother and the emperor's brother want me to marry a Han?"

As soon as Sizhen heard this, her eyes immediately widened like a pinprick, and she smiled: "Dare to love, Her Royal Highness the princess looks down on us Han people, and feels wronged by marrying my brother-in-law?" ”

"Ah Zhen!" Jian Ning pulled Sizhen's sleeve, "These days, I thought you were a knowledgeable person, why are you so self-deceptive?" ”

She pouted arrogantly: "Looking down on you Han people, it's not just me, up and down this court, how many Manchu people really take you Han people in their eyes?" ”

Sizhen shook off her hand, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly: "In that case, what is Her Royal Highness the Princess doing with me, a Han man?" ”

"It's two different things, okay." Jian Ning grabbed Sizhen again, "You know what I'm talking about, don't make trouble." ”

Although she didn't shake off Jianning's hand again, Sizhen looked at her and said, "I didn't make trouble." The princess forgot, I am also a Han Chinese, and you say in front of me that the Han people are not, do you think we can still be friends and play friendly? ”

"I said that the Han people are not, it is the Manchu people to the Han people that deep-rooted, rooted in the bones, I admire you Kong Sizhen person, and you are Han, Manchu but has nothing to do with it, I think, you can understand this, it turns out, you are also the same as those Han people who stick to the difference between Manchu and Han, fake model fake fake Qinggao. As soon as I heard that I was Han Chinese, I began to fry my hair. After Jian Ning finished speaking, his lips pursed tightly, and he looked disappointed.

"If the princess thinks I can understand, why should she speak in a crooked way? You tell me directly, what's going on? Sizhen asked rhetorically with a smile on her face.

This time it was Jian Ning's turn to widen her eyes, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you Ah Zhen, you tease me." ”

Sizhen looked helpless: "I said, Your Royal Highness Princess, why can you always make simple things so complicated?" Isn't it good to have something to say? This has to be on the battlefield, and after such a long time of gossiping, I will die ten times. ”

Jian Ning said: "This is in the palace, who would be as straightforward and stunned as you?" ”

Seeing Sizhen looking at her, she raised her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I lost to me, I said it's not possible?" ”

"We Manchus rule Tibetans, Mongols, Han Chinese, all with different strategies. As for the Tibetans, because of their pious faith, they invited their great lamas to the capital, and with great respect, they subdued their great lamas, and then subdued the Tibetans. As for the Mongols, it is a marriage, and the princesses of the Manchu people are all married to Mongolian princes and nobles, and they also raise those little princes in the court since childhood, and the Manchurian family is a family. And the princesses of the Manchurian Gege will never marry the Han Chinese, let me ask, will you marry your daughter to a slave? Han people, as long as they are given official jobs, take the imperial examination, and appreciate them, they will be able to die to the ground......"

Sizhen was stunned when she heard this, she also looked at Jian Ning in a daze, and said after a while: "I didn't expect that the princess has such insight!" ”

"I'm a girl raised in the harem, where do I have such ability, these words are what I overheard from the conversation between the queen mother and the emperor's brother......" Jianning hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly coolly: "That's right, they think so, but they want to marry me to a Han person, you say, what kind of heart do they have?" ”

"My twelfth sister, a countryman, wants to marry the Mongolian Borzigit clan's first-class guard Bandi, and even the thirteenth sister, a royal Gege who does not have a title, has been promised to the deputy capital commander Guerjia clan Laha, only me, they want to marry me to a Han Chinese."

"That Han man is the prince of Pingxi, and he will be the king of Pingxi in the future." Sizhen reminded her: "A prince is more noble than waiting for the guard!" ”

"That's what you Han think." Jian Ning said as he spoke, tears already rippling in his eyes, "In the eyes of many Manchurians, it is one of our dogs, and it is also more noble than the Han people, you don't know, since the emperor's brother announced that he would marry me to the prince of Pingxi, how they laughed at me behind my back, they all said that the queen mother's love for me over the years is all fake, all fake!" ”

Sizhen will not comfort people, she hesitated for a moment, Fang hugged Jianning and said: "You also know that the Manchu people's various views of our Han people are actually prejudices, among the Han people, there are that kind of soft bones, but there are also righteous heroes, and there are heroes like you Manchus, who can dominate on horseback, you Manchus, there are also scoundrels, you can't have preconceived ideas about righteous brothers because of Manchu Han's thoughts." ”

Jian Ning leaned on Sizhen's arms, crying mournfully, but the sobbing sound was quieter.

"On that day, since you were eavesdropping, naturally you didn't listen to it all, according to me, the Queen Mother and the emperor love you so much, they will definitely not let you indiscriminately, and they can promise you to my brother-in-law, because he is both civil and military, his appearance is extraordinary, and he is your good match, of course, ......"

Sizhen gritted her teeth lightly, "This can also reflect the Manchu and Han families, I think, the emperor must not have those prejudices, otherwise, he would not insist on leaving me in the palace and consider me the righteous daughter of the Queen Mother." ”

"What do you mean, the emperor's brother is doing this for my good and for the good of the court?" Jianning raised his head.

"Yes, you are the youngest princess of the royal family, favored by the queen mother and the emperor, and you are married to the prince of Pingxi, just to let the world see how much the emperor values the Han people, just like the Manchu and Mongolian families, the Manchu and Han can also get married, I believe that with you, the princess, Your Royal Highness, there will be more and more Manchu and Han marriages in the future......" Sizhen relayed what he heard from his father King Dingnan to Jianning last year.

Unlike ordinary boudoir women, Kong Sizhen has heard her father say a lot of political and military analyses since she was a child, and she has a deeper understanding of Jianning's marriage.

"Don't worry, princess, my brother is really a very good person, if you marry, you will live well, and you will ......be compatible."

"Go-" Jian Ning burst into tears and laughed, and lightly knocked Sizhen twice with his hand, "Where did you hear some nonsense, Qin Se is compatible, can you say it from a girl's family!" ”
