Chapter 57: The First Tear in the Western Regions
As soon as Qin Zhen heard Yudong's words, he knew that he must have thought of something. But Qin Zhen also knew that Yu Dong was this kind of unpumped temper. If he is not completely sure, he will not talk nonsense, and if he is not completely sure, he will not do it casually. In his own words, not to fight uncertain battles. So if he wasn't sure about it, if you didn't run on him, he wouldn't have said what he had in mind.
After these days of 'day and night', Qin Zhen also dispensed with the politeness and politeness at the beginning, and simply pushed Yu Dong directly and said, "Eh, Malier, hurry up and explain to us the meaning of what you just said." It doesn't matter if it's right or not, you can say it first, and let's discuss it together! ”
Yu Dong also seems to have gradually honed his patience and endurance in these days. He seems to be very accustomed to Qin Zhen and Gu Jie's temperament now. It turned out that he might be angry and impatient, but now he simply doesn't think it's strange.
For example, now, as soon as Qin Zhen's words were finished, Yudong not only did not hurry, but also tilted his head and thought about it very 'cooperatively', and then said with a thoughtful face, "I was just thinking, could this be a city built by King Wusun for someone?" Because it's only for one person, there aren't many people living there. Then this kind of empty furnishing can make sense. Moreover, that person is still from the Han Dynasty, which is why there is this almost completely imitated Han style of architecture. And this can also explain why Wusun built such a Han-style royal city out of thin air, but the Han Dynasty can turn a deaf ear. That's probably why. ”
Qin Zhen thought about Yu Dong's words, and it seemed to make sense. And it seems that only this statement can have a not-so-far-fetched and reasonable explanation for this eccentric royal city. But who could it be? For whom did King Wusun build this city?
Suddenly, a story appeared in Qin Zhen's mind. A bleak and helpless story. He immediately looked at Yu Dong and asked eagerly, "Yu Dong, who is the person you just talked about......
"Yes, that's her. China's first princess to go to the Western Regions to make peace--- Xijun. When Yu Dong said this, his always indifferent expression became a little more complicated, and his gaze became distant.
Perhaps, everyone here, except for Gu Jie, will not know the princess of Xijun in Yudong's mouth. So at this time, Gu Jie said very confidently, "What do you mean?" Go on! So what's the situation with the princess? Looks like there's a story! Come on, tell me about it. ”
Anyway, everyone plans to rest here for a while and replenish their body before they can move on. So he didn't refuse Gu Jie's helpless request.
But just when Ma Chao was about to open his mouth to tell Gu Jie a story, Gu Jie suddenly stopped, "Wait!" Don't worry bro. The story of the princess is to be told, but our stomachs must also be filled. Such a series of vicious battles without eating, drinking, or sleeping, even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it! Besides, I'm currently at work-related injury. If you don't send out some condolences or nutritional products, you still have to give dry food, right? ”
When he said this, everyone suddenly felt that they were already hungry! These days, who has eaten a formal meal. So, Lan Qing simply worked hard and personally 'cooked' such a sumptuous 'condolence meal' for everyone to have a good meal.
Everyone sat in a circle, and after saying that they had finished eating, they began to take turns to rest and recuperate their spirits. Wait until you're almost done resting before setting off.
When Gu Jie saw the food that Lan Qing brought to him, a happy smile immediately spread across his face. Not to mention, this guy really doesn't want much. Qin Zhen thought at first that Gu Jie was just playing a poor mouth, but now it seems that he may have really moved his heart to Lan Qing. This may be the legendary love at first sight, or fall in love at first sight.
At this time, I saw him smelling the aroma of the 'love meal', and said with emotion, "Hey! Eating on fire in this underground thousand-year-old city is really a unique taste. But even though there is a deep feeling of nostalgia for the past and the present, in the final analysis, you still have to eat and feed your head. So, it's useless to say anything else, people, you have to be realistic. ”
After speaking, he looked at Ma Chao with his eyebrows fluttering, "Come on, brother." Princess, princess story, let's talk! ”
Everyone laughed helplessly, with this kind of teammate, I really don't know if it's unfortunate or lucky.
Qin Zhen was also gobbling up this not-so-delicious 'feast' while waiting to revisit the poignant story. To be honest, it's not easy to eat enough now, and I really don't have the heart to worry about how the food tastes anymore.
At this time, Qin Zhen glanced at Yudong beside him, he didn't eat much, I don't know if he also had too much appetite for the food. At this time, he lay down next to Qin Zhen, his eyes closed but he frowned slightly. I don't know if it's because he's thinking about the next road, or if he's too tired.
Qin Zhen thinks that he definitely doesn't have the bad taste of looking at men. But looking at Yu Dong's face at this time, he couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time. I don't know why, Qin Zhen could see a deep, deep sadness from that almost perfect face. That heavy, helpless, sadness and exhaustion that didn't belong to his age. Perhaps it is precisely because Yudong always hides this sadness that it gives people a feeling of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.
What kind of secrets does this person carry? The innate strong curiosity coupled with his concern for Yudong made Qin Zhen fall into contemplation unconsciously.
If it weren't for Gu Jie suddenly calling him, Qin Zhen probably hadn't come back to his senses at this point.
I only heard Gu Jie ask with a confused and puzzled face, "Da Zhen, I have called you three and a half times." What the hell are you doing looking at Dong Shao with a crazy face?? You still don't listen to Ma Chao's story?? Eh, no, buddy, I'm a little worried if you go on like this. What's wrong with you? ”
was shouted by Gu Jie so openly, and Yu Dong slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Qin Zhen and didn't say anything, just turned over and continued to rest.
Qin Zhen was trembling when Yu Dong saw it, and thought to himself, this buddy, don't really misunderstand what kind of weirdness he has. Retracting his thoughts, Qin Zhen glared at Gu Jie fiercely. Then he motioned to Ma Chao to tell him a story and told him to shut up and stop talking.
Ma Chao smiled, as if he was used to Qin Zhen and Gu Jie's way of expressing friendship by pinching each other. At this time, he held the water glass in both hands, drank the water, and told the distant poignant story.
"Xijun is the daughter of Liu Jian, the king of the Western Han River. It is also the first princess to record her name in historical materials. In the sixth year of Yuan Feng, she was named a princess by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and married Kun Mo, the king of Wusun. It is said that Princess Xijun had just been eighteen years old that year. But she has to marry the old man of the wind and candle, and he is older than her father. This is not just the sorrow of a woman, I think it is also the sorrow of the country! The dynasty of the dignified Son of Heaven wants to use a woman to maintain the relationship between the two countries and form an alliance! Harmony is the original role and value of women in Chinese political history. When Ma Chao said this, he looked a little indignant. Perhaps, he was holding grievances for the princess Xijun.
With a deep sigh, Ma Chao continued, "There has never been any information to record how beautiful Xijun is, but there is no doubt that she must be young and beautiful." Moreover, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and etiquette are all excellent. Then why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have to marry Xijun far away to the Western Regions? Hehe, it's very simple, just because she's the daughter of a sinner.
The king's order cannot be violated, and she was still married to the desert in the end. This princess Xijun, who was born in Jiangnan since she was a child, can imagine the situation after marrying into the desert of the Western Regions! The language barrier, the water and soil are not adapted, all the qiē and qiē, she is so unaccustomed. Coupled with the arrogance of the pillow near the sixtieth year, you can imagine what kind of pain a slender woman has to bear. Born, uprooted from home, endured humiliation. Death, the king's order is in the body, the responsibility to the country is in the body, and even death cannot die. Perhaps, that is the real life is better than death.
Soon after, Hunter Jiaomi died. I thought that I could return to the Han Dynasty and return to the south of the Yangtze River, but I was told a custom like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it was this custom that determined the final outcome of the life of the fine king--- the new king succeeded to the throne and inherited all the wives and concubines of the old king.
This is a fact that is unacceptable to death for the fine monarch who has been influenced by the Confucian etiquette and ideology of the Han Dynasty since he was a child. She asked Emperor Wu of Han to return to China several times, but where would Emperor Wu of Han pardon the life of the daughter of this criminal minister? He ordered Xijun to accept the local customs and remarry Kun Mo's arrogant grandson, Jun Sumi.
In this way, a year later, Princess Xijun gave birth, and she was even more depressed after she had been uneasy. Eventually, grief led to death. ”
With a sad ending, Ma Chao ended this long-standing and desolate story.
Gu Jie was still stunned when he heard this, he blinked his eyes at this time, and lowered his head with an uncomfortable face. Perhaps, any person of flesh and blood, after hearing about this woman's life, can't help but be gloomy and feel sorry for it.
At this time, Lan Qing, who is also a woman, said leisurely, "It is precisely because of Xijun's lonely, miserable, and irreversible life that people say that she is a tear in the Western Regions." ”
