Chapter 283: My Dream
Chapter 283: My Dream
The seemingly revered title of princess is actually nothing more than a consolation prize, a consolation to the leaders of ethnic minorities who seek princesses, a consolation to the women who have been sold in exchange for national peace and stability, and a consolation to the parents of these women.
Then, the leaders of Shan Yu who married the princess were satisfied, the parents of their daughter who became the princess were satisfied, the emperor was also satisfied with the stability of the country, the harem concubines who did not have to send their daughters out were also satisfied, the biological daughter of the replaced emperor was also satisfied, and the people who had no soldiers and the people in the world were also satisfied, but who had considered whether these women who were sent out were satisfied?
It is even possible that these so-called princess women who have been sent out still have people they like and their own dreams, but they will never see their relatives again, the people they like, their lovers, the ancient countries they are familiar with, the meals they are familiar with, and the scenery they are familiar with, all in exchange for a national righteousness.
These people are great, but they may not be reconciled, throughout the history of the people who were sent to kiss, no woman is long-lived, depressed all the year round, who can live a long life? To tell the truth, Princess Wencheng is lucky, she met a Songtsan Gampo, a man who may really like her and love her, or maybe because of the strong soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and have to love his man.
But no matter what, she was doing well, and the women who were sent away when the country was weak were called miserable, and many of them did not even have a name.
Wang Zhaojun, who volunteered to be pro-marry, may have been heartbroken, but he was relegated to the cold palace for three years because he did not bribe the painter, and then he voluntarily left this sad place, and finally Wang Zhaojun, who was only 33 years old, died of depression, and if she was really willing to marry, why did she ask to return to the Han Dynasty three times?
Even in the era when Lao Huo Weiqing existed, even in the era when the male lord Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was located, whether it was Princess Xijun or Princess Xie Wu, they were still sent out of the Han Dynasty, and they were sent out one by one for the sake of national strategy, but after all, they lived in an era when the Han Dynasty was strong, and they were returned to the Han Dynasty when they were old, and they could be regarded as returning to their hometown on the verge of death.
And the entire powerful Han Dynasty has a total of 13 princesses who are married to the Xiongnu, Wusun and other countries, this is only the Han Dynasty, not to mention how many princesses were married in other dynasties later, it is impossible to count. Even many of them are not even interested in history books to give a record of these women who have lost their entire lives.
Not counting the period of division, let's say that the great unified dynasty, the Han Dynasty had a total of 13 princesses marryed, the Sui Dynasty had a total of 6 princesses, the Tang Dynasty had a total of 19 princesses, and the Song Dynasty had a total of 15 princesses.
It can only be said that these princesses in ancient times were really busy.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty is so conspicuous, of course, Chongzhen actually thought about making peace, but it was a pity that he was too late at that time.
Qin Mubai thought about it while running around in circles to find his goal, Qin Mubai thought that he would look for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that when he ran to the fence close to the Normal University, a girl in a white dress with long hair standing at the fence, quietly looking at the campus inside.
There were many students reading, chatting, and doing their own things, a harmonious scene. Seeing this thin figure, Qin Mubai stopped his steps and walked towards her. There are not many places to rest, so there are few tourists visiting the park.
"Hello. Qin Mubai said softly.
The girl who was startled by Qin Mubai's voice was like a frightened little rabbit, she stepped back to the side suddenly, and then turned around, and then after seeing Qin Mubai, she looked at Qin Mubai with some apprehension and said, "Dare to ask, is it Mr. Qin Mubai?"
"It's me, are you Princess Wencheng?" Qin Mubai immediately asked, not that he didn't want to call other names, but that there was no record in history who Princess Wencheng's parents were, and they all said that they were Li Daozong's daughter, but Qin Mubai felt that it was not eighty percent.
Hearing the words of Princess Wencheng, this girl first smiled bitterly, and then stood up straight, giving Qin Mubai a blessing, and then said, "I've seen Mr. Mubai." ”
Qin Mubai also hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Princess Wencheng, I'm sorry, because there is really no record in history, so I don't know the princess's name." Qin Mubai was also a little helpless, she really didn't know about this thing.
"My name is Li Wan, the word is Deshu, and I have met Mr. Mu Bai. Li Wan said softly.
Most of the ancient names were a surname and a first name, and then there were table characters, but many women did not have a table character.
"Uh, dare to ask the princess's father, but Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia?" Qin Mubai still asked, mainly because if these things are not asked clearly, there will definitely be some embarrassments in the future, and Li Wan is not here for a day or two, maybe she has stayed here in this life, so Qin Mubai still has to ask clearly.
Qin Mubai is not clear about whether Li Wan at this age knows what will happen in the future, because Princess Wencheng has lived in Tibet for more than 40 years, and after the death of Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wencheng still lives in Tibet for 30 years. She married into Tibet at the age of 16 and died at the age of 55, which was considered a long-lived person in that era.
"It's not. Li Wan said with a calm smile, "I am a maid of the daughter of the king of Jiangxia, raised in the Jiangxia palace since I was a child, and the emperor Li Shimin of the Later Tang Dynasty wants to choose a daughter of the family to be the princess and marry Tubo, in order to repay the kindness of the king of Jiangxia, I pretended to be the daughter of the king of Jiangxia and married Tubo." ”
In a few words, Li Wan explained her birth history clearly, Qin Mubai was silent for a while, although this result seemed a little unexpected, but it was expected. Songtsen Gampo first asked for marriage, but Li Shimin refused, and later this guy simply destroyed another troublesome vassal king in Tubo, and directly sent troops to the western checkpoint of the Tang Dynasty at that time, with one purpose, that is, to marry a princess.
I have to say...... Songtsen Gampo also worked hard to marry a princess, and after marrying a princess, he is not like those people who disobey the yang and the yin, but the Tang Dynasty and the Qin and Jin dynasties.
So this is also a ruthless person for a woman, it seems that the princess is still useful, at least many people in that era gave up their ambition and hegemony for the sake of this princess.
"Anyway, you have left a strong mark in history, everyone knows that Princess Wencheng made a great contribution to the peace between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, so that the two countries avoided fighting each other, countless people survived because of you, and you are also deeply loved by the people of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. Qin Mubai could only pick up the good ones and say them.
"Yes, I'm just a maidservant, maybe Songtsen Gampo doesn't know, but His Majesty the Tang Emperor knows, King Jiangxia knows, King Jiangxia's daughter, King Jiangxia's wife, and even most of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty know, so I am destined to be unable to return to the Tang Dynasty in this life, I can only make my own efforts for my own future, for a better life. She turned her head again, looked at the campus inside, and sighed faintly.
"I know that when I was a child, when I studied with Miss, at that time I thought that I would marry with Miss in the future and be a dowry girl, I don't know what my husband is like, and I don't expect him to love me and like me, I just want him to like Miss, and I will quietly accompany Miss through this long life. ”
"I like to read, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not as good as me, although I rarely show it, I have secretly read a lot of books, but it is useless, I yearn for the life of the outside world, I think I can be more free with the young lady after getting married, read more four books and five classics, although I can't go to the examination like those scholars. ”
"I never thought that I would go through so many things in my life, and I never thought that one day I would become such an important person, influencing two countries, I just wanted to do my little dream, that's all. ”
"The day I became a princess, I panicked, I was sad, I was afraid, on the way to Tibet, I used to think that maybe I would die on this long and bad journey, and at night I prayed to the gods and Buddhas that I could arrive safely. ”
"Maybe God fulfilled my little dream, I went to that distant country, that country I never thought about, that man I thought all the way but didn't know what it looked like, although he loved me very much, but I didn't like him, no reason, no reason, but I could see those poor people, I tried to change their lives, tried to do something. ”
"Actually, maybe all that, I just want to bury the loneliness in my heart and the longing for my hometown slowly, because I know that I will never be able to return to the hometown I am familiar with, I love, and I miss for the rest of my life. ”
"If I had a choice, I would prefer to be the ordinary maidservant of the young lady, although it may not be happy, but everything around me is familiar, and I am not so afraid. ”
"Maybe I can't carry that burden at all, but that's all I can do, that's all I can do. Li Wan's voice was very soft, as if catkins were floating in the air, and the breeze was blowing across the lake, quietly, softly telling her story, everything about her, although no one had listened, no one told, and no one knew.
"In fact, in thousands of years of history, you have done better than most of the princesses who are close to you!" Qin Mubai, who was standing beside Li Wan, also looked at the campus in front of him and said with a smile.
