Chapter Ninety-Five: The Unstable Prairie

It didn't take much effort to bring up a roasted whole sheep, and the long and half-sized lambs used in this roasted whole sheep can be said to be fragrant and very attractive. What's even more rare is that the chef has removed all the bones, and the mutton has been cut into sections, which is very convenient to eat. Add to that a steaming bowl of haggis and it's a wonderful thing to do in this cold weather.

Zhao Bingyan and Zhao Bingyu sat on Li Yunqing's left and right respectively, so they were actually serving Li Yunqing's meal. Although they have left the palace, some rules have not changed much, especially once they are on the table, the two of them are extremely obvious. saw Zhao Bingyan holding a delicate dagger, shaved a piece of meat from the leg of mutton, and put it on the plate held by Zhao Bingyu. Zhao Bingyu then sent the plate to Li Yunqing. It was only at this time that Li Yunqing picked up the chopsticks and put the mutton in his mouth. After savoring it, he nodded slightly and praised: "The mutton on this grassland is indeed more delicious." ”

Zhao Bingyan heard Li Yunqing say that it was delicious, and he immediately wanted to use the knife again. Li Yunqing held his jade hand and said in a low voice: "This is not in the palace, don't be busy at the moment, eat it cleanly." After that, he looked at Xie Youyou and the others and continued: "Don't you see that they don't dare to move their chopsticks?" If we do this, they are afraid that they will not know the taste of food, so these etiquette will be exempted. ”

Zhao Bingyan nodded when he heard this, waved his hand to Zhang Xie and the others, and said, "Don't be restrained, hurry up and move your chopsticks." We're just getting used to it, and there are so many rules when we go out. With that, he shaved a piece of meat and put it in the cherry mouth.

Zhao Bingyu saw that Zhao Bingyan understood her intentions so naturally, she was not such a gentle woman originally, but she knew that following Li Yunqing naturally had rules for following Li Yunqing. At this moment, there was no estimate, so he actually picked up half a leg of mutton and took a big bite to enjoy it, and praised while eating: "What the husband said is right, this mutton is indeed much more tender and delicious than the Central Plains." ”

Seeing that Li Yunqing and the others were like this, Zhang Xie and the others naturally let go of enjoying the food. was eating to the fullest, only to hear a table of diners sigh: "I thought that the Central Plains people had arrived in the grassland, that is, the dark clouds covered the sun." But now it seems that I have to admit that the people of the Central Plains really know how to live. No matter what others think, I feel that life is much easier now than before. ”

"In this way, you see, before there is no big city, we have to exchange fur or something, either we have to go the long way, or we have to wait until the market is opened. A lot of times things are not fresh and don't sell for a good price. Now there are markets in the city every day, and you can change them whenever you want, which is really convenient. I found that the people of the Central Plains do like the things on our grassland, and this shot is also very generous, and the sky of the grassland is bluer. ”

"If you want me to say, Tian Khan, he is Tian Khan. There is nothing wrong with being a great cadre, but I heard my grandfather and his old man say that when Emperor Taizu was in power, the people of the grassland lived a good life for more than 20 years. Later, for some reason, the tribes of the steppe began to rebel against the rule of the final dynasty, and the chaos began at that time. The reason seems to be a group of wanderers on the steppe, who stormed the military camp of Daqian, and then the conflict was out of control. Although the imperial court finally sent troops to suppress the rebellion of the grassland, it also really aroused the anger of the grassland people. Until the return of the Khan, there has been friction between the two parties for 12 years. For decades, in fact, our life is not good, and the people of the grassland are not happy. ”

There are two Central Plains people and two steppe people sitting at this table. The two grassland people told their exclamations in the Central Plains dialect, which was already very proficient, so Li Yunqing and the others could understand it. Li Yunqing knows best what happened back then, because it was a state affair and what happened in his family. In the thirtieth year of the emperor's reign, there was a rebellion in the grassland, and Emperor Taizu Gao drove the expedition in person, and finally spent three months successfully suppressing the rebellion, which once again made the grassland understand the strength of the Daqian Dynasty and what the Heavenly Khan was.

After that war, the grasslands were quiet for a long time, for ten years. In the second year of Xingye, there was another rebellion in the grassland. Emperor Taizongren sent Qin Fangyuan, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, to quell the rebellion, and the 150,000 army finally suppressed the rebellion in an extremely cruel way for half a year. Since then, until the death of Emperor Taizongren in the twelfth year of Xingye, the grassland was still quiet, except for some occasional friction on the border, and no major rebellion has appeared.

The Kaihuang Dynasty reopened a new heaven and a new earth, making this ancient and beautiful land usher in a new spring. But the country built on the ruins naturally cannot be built overnight. Emperor Taizu Gao's decades of hard work, hard work, and walking on thin ice, in the end, only made the country improve slightly. Therefore, Emperor Taizongren did not dare to have the slightest slackness, even if he slept for half an hour, he was afraid that he would fail the spirit of his ancestors in the sky. Therefore, Emperor Taizong wanted to rest with the people and move forward steadily and steadily. However, it is precisely because of this that the grassland was given and the opportunity for Heige to grow stronger. From the 30th year of the founding of the emperor to the 12th year of the development of the industry, for more than 20 years, the grassland seemed to be calm, but in fact it was turbulent.

Although Hei Ge did not have any wars against the outside world, he seemed to be in peace. But in fact, he had already started the conquest in his own way on the steppe, and finally made the various tribes of the steppe submit to his feet. In the process of Heige's conquest of the tribes, it is the people on the grassland who suffer the most, and the worries of the days are frightened, just = afraid that they will not see the sun of tomorrow.

Hei Ge made such a big move that would naturally alarm the court, and he would take the initiative to say that the other party had bullied the people of his own tribe, and he just wanted to give the other party a punishment, but it was just a fight between two people, please don't worry about it, saying that he will definitely focus on the overall situation and will not make too much trouble. Since Li Hongyuan was able to take over Lao Tzu's class and keep the empire peaceful for twelve years, it can be seen that he is an extremely smart emperor, he has long been aware of Heige's ambitions, but at that time, the remnants of the previous dynasty were in turmoil, and he could only take care of the affairs of the Central Plains first, and as long as other things did not threaten the great cadres, he did not care.

It was only after he pacified the so-called bandits in the Central Plains that he turned around and wanted to deal with the steppe wolves, that Li Hongyuan realized that he was about to reach the end of his life, and he did not have the time or even the strength to ask about the affairs of the grassland again. Therefore, Li Yunqing was pushed to the throne by a holy decree of his brother under such circumstances, and it seems simple for Daqian to have today, but in fact it is very difficult. Li Yunqing can come to this day like this, it is not bad to say that it is the protection of his ancestors, but it is more because he is still smart and his luck is good enough. In short, the emperor is not easy to do.
