Chapter 136: Timeline
After he appeared, I asked him if he had heard of the person "Ru Xue".
Xian lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, the surname "Ru" is the surname of the Rouran people, and Ru Xue should be a Rouran person, as for Ru Xue, he has never heard of it.
Xian usually likes to wander outside, and even he has never heard of some of the deeds of "Ru Xue", so who else can I find clues again.
My eyes were dark.
Xian was puzzled and asked me, "What does this person do?" ”
I smiled faintly, "I heard that Ru Xue's wood carving is good, and this palace wants to ask her to carve ornaments." ”
Xian smiled, "There is a wood carving workshop on North Street, Niang Niang can go there to find a wood carver, why do you have to find such a person." ”
I didn't say why I had to look for Ru Xue, and I didn't ask any more.
I told Xian that Ru Xue is a wood carver, but is there any other place where I can find out the clues of this person?
Xiantu frowned and said to me, "The woodcarving workshop on North Street, maybe you can find out the woodcarver there, but you can't say." ”
"Okay, then you go and ask." I solemnly asked Xian to go there and ask.
I, a concubine in the deep palace, often go out of the palace, and it is inevitable that these women in the harem will talk about the topic, so I didn't go in person this time.
I forgot to explain Xian Bei to others, but I didn't expect that soon after Xiancai left my palace gate, he was announced by the emperor, and Xian actually revealed Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Hong came to see me after finishing his official duties, and casually asked me what I was going to do with this person?
I had to lie and say, "It's a pity that the wood carving ornaments of the emperor's hot spring palace were burned by fire, and the concubines just want to find a good wood carving for the emperor." ”
Tuoba Hong gave me a faint look, without much expression.
He pondered for a moment before he said to me, "If you go to explore Ruxue, there may not be any news. ”
I looked at him in a daze, and I knew that in Yi'er, I had already heard that Ru Xue had disappeared many years ago.
Tuoba Hong said that a few years ago, he had already sent someone to inquire, and Ru Xue was no longer to be found in this world. A few years ago, that was all he could get from the news, and then he gave up looking for this man.
Tuoba Hong also knew that Ru Xue was a Rouran person, and in this time the envoy of the Rouran Khanate visited, Tuoba Hong also privately asked the envoy whether there were traces of Ru Xue in other countries.
The envoy returned to Tuoba Hong, and Ru Xue only had a rumored name left in the Rouran Khanate, and many years ago, Ru Xue lost the news after coming to the Great Wei, and never returned to the Rouran Khanate.
Yi'er knew that the Empress Dowager had summoned Ru Xue, and Tuoba Hong also mentioned it this time, saying that many years ago, when the first emperor was still the emperor, the Empress Dowager summoned a female wood carver who came softly.
Just after the Queen Mother summoned Ru Xue, Ru Xue disappeared. Many people thought that she had returned to Rouran's hometown, but Tuoba Hong said that it was not until he looked for the woodcarver again that he learned that Ru Xue did not return to Rouran, but disappeared from the world that year.
Tuoba Hong said that the year when the Empress Dowager summoned Ru Xue was the fifth year of Huangxing (471), this year is the eleventh year of Taihe, and the fifth year of Huangxing is sixteen years ago.
In the fourth year of Huangxing (470), Murong Baiyao's family was punished by the imperial court.
When the minister's Yihun family was strangled by the imperial court, it was the first year of Tian'an of the Great Wei Dynasty (466), the year when the first emperor Xianwen ascended the throne, and it had been twenty-one years since the eleventh year of Taihe.
Da Xilan, Yi Huan, and Xu Shaoling died together in the second year of Yanxing (472), which was fifteen years after the eleventh year of Taihe.
In my mind, recalling these years, the time when Yi Huan went to Yinshan for Murong Zhen'an to find the "White Worm Captain" was in the winter of the fourth year of Huangxing, so it was the year before the Empress Dowager summoned Ru Xue.
And Otoki died the year after Ru Xue's disappearance.
In this way, Ru Xue disappeared in the second year after Yi Huan went to Yinshan.
In my deep thought, such a possibility suddenly floated out, would that Mu Fang be something that Ru Xue could understand?
If the wooden cube brought back by the former Emperor Concubine Li from Yinshan was really Yi Huan's thing, Yi Hua would visit Yaohua Palace at night and want to get it back.
Concubine Li hid it so well, this wooden cube must be very important, and Concubine Li must have wanted to know what it was back then.
So would Concubine Li also look for Ru Xue and want to figure out the role of the wooden cube.
Or Yi Huan already knew what the wooden cube was used for, when Yi Huan was in Yinshan, Concubine Li was also in Yinshan, and Yi Huan, as the object of the imperial court's pursuit, may have met the officers and soldiers in Yinshan, and the things on his body were not allowed to be held by Concubine Li.
Doctor Jia Mingyi didn't say that he had seen Concubine Li and Yi Ju in the hillside forest.
Thinking of this, I became more and more curious about what this wooden block of this wooden cube is used for.
I couldn't sleep peacefully because of the thought of it.
Xian heard the news from North Street and then replied to me, but no one knew.
Ru Xue has really become a mysterious person who only has a name, and no one has ever seen her.
In my spare time, I walked lightly in the Imperial Garden, and the pear blossoms in the palace were already blooming, and it seemed that it was about to be another fragrant time.
I was thinking about when I could go to Yinshan, where I might find clues about this wooden cube, and then I would understand what this wooden cube was that Yi Huan had to find when he visited the palace at night.
After the early dynasty, the inner servant of the Taiji Hall came to show me, saying that the emperor was going to take me to the Yinshan Palace.
The news couldn't have come at a better time.
I stood under the plane tree in the courtyard of the Zhaoyang Temple, looking at its lush foliage. This plane tree is very large, and the branches even spread out of the wall, which is very beautiful.
The sun was shining brightly, shining through the branches on my head, warm, warm. It seems that the season of spring has arrived.
I could smell the scent of pear blossoms in Hualin Garden even far away.
"Niangniang is going to Yinshan Palace, what does Niangniang need to bring, the slave maid will pack up for Niangniang first."
Zhu Yan said with a faint smile on the side.
What to bring?
The first thing that came to my mind was the cube of wood.
I looked up at the blue sky, it was very good, it was very comfortable in spring, and it should be very suitable for going out on patrol.
Tuoba Hong went to Yinshan to inspect the border military camp stationed there, as well as the security of border defense. The Rouran Khanate was a powerful country outside the northern Wei Dynasty, and there were many wars between the two countries.
The Rouran people in the north and south of the desert, under the blue sky of thousands of miles, once founded the Rouran Khanate in the north on the vast grassland.
The prosperity of the Rouran Khanate, its momentum spread throughout the north and south of the desert, north to the shore of Lake Baikal, south to the northern foot of the Yin Mountain, northeast to the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the Douyu border, southeast and the West Lamulun River Kumoxi and Khitan as neighbors, west as far as the Junggar Basin and the Ili River Basin, and once entered the Tarim Basin, so that the countries of the South Tianshan Road subordinate. In the process of Rouran's development, it gradually integrated other ethnic elements.
The Rouran Khanate and the Northern Yan in the east and the Later Qin in the west were close to each other, gifted horses, and also passed through Tuyuhun and Yizhou, and made good relations with the Song and Qi of the Southern Dynasties. Its purpose was to contain the Northern Wei Dynasty in order to attack southward.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had been stationing a large number of troops on the border to prevent the Rouran attack.
And the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty would go to the Yinshan Realm to inspect the border, the first emperor Xianwen Emperor was like this, and the same was true of Tuoba Hong.
On the night after the decision to go on patrol, Luo Liangren specially came to Zhaoyang Palace to ask me for peace.
Her spirits were much brighter than the previous days, and it seemed that Tuoba Hong had gone to her bedroom that night to make her feel comfortable.
She jokingly said in front of me, "Sister Guifei can accompany the emperor on patrol again, my sister is really envious." My sister can take care of the emperor a lot. ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, "Of course, my sister can rest assured." ”
"Sister Guifei is always by the emperor's side, and my sister doesn't have anything to discuss, but the Zhaoyi lady in Yong'an Palace doesn't know what kind of mentality she has."
I am indifferent, I don't have much to mention about Feng Zhaoyi, if she doesn't mess with me, I won't mess with her, just be safe.
Two days later, it was time to set off for the Yinshan Palace.
Yinglin packed my bags, and the lyre was also brought on the chariot, so that when I was bored in the palace, I could also play music to relieve my boredom.
As for the wooden cube, I carry it with me, and this time I went to Yinshan, my purpose was to find out where this wooden cube came from. Where should it be, if it can be unraveled, I will know what was the purpose of Yi Huan's trip to Yinshan back then?
On this day, outside the palace gate, armoured troops gathered.
There were light cavalry guards in front of and behind the emperor's carriage, and the commander of the guards in Xuan's clothes, Gong Yi, was guarding the guards with blue and blue colors. I got into the chariot with Tuoba Hong, and before I got into the carriage, I saw Imperial Doctor Jia also go with him.
Gao Xian was dressed in armor and rode on a white horse.
This time I went to the palace, and Tuoba Hong only brought me a harem concubine.
However, Princess Pengcheng also went with her. said that when he was afraid that I would be bored, he would talk to me and relieve my boredom.
The King of the North Sea was left in Kyoto by the emperor, and this time he did not go with him.
It's better to think that the King of the North Sea didn't go, so that I don't know how to talk to him from time to time.
At the end of the day, when Tuoba Hong would always stop, he would let Dr. Jia, who followed me, come to check my pulse, for fear that my body would not be able to stand it.
When Xiao Jingqi appeared in front of me, I was taken aback.
After Imperial Physician Jia went out, Gao Xian took Xiao Jingqi into my tent, and Tuoba Hong was by my side at this time.
After they saluted Tuoba Hong and me, Tuoba Hong said to me, "Lieutenant General Lang said that Rong'er has had headaches since she was a child, and Bai Langzhong can treat Rong'er's head disease. ”
Tuoba Hong already had some suspicion of Xiao Jingqi when he was in Taiyue Mountain, but at this time, he brought Xiao Jingqi so neatly, I really didn't guess Tuoba Hong's thoughts at this time.
