Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wealthy Family
Xu is because of Xiao Lingjiang's previous warning, Xu is has not found the right time for the time being, and on the rest of the way, Gongji's place is much more stable.
The spring cold is still steep, all the way to the distance, as far as the eye can see, there are snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the occasional herdsmen's tents are dotted among them.
The colorful wind and horse flags are orderly fixed on the doorheads, ropes, clan buildings, and tree branches, fluttering and swaying between the earth and the sky, constituting a realm that connects the earth to the sky.
After walking like this for more than a month, after passing through one or two small cities, a majestic city finally appeared in front of them.
Xiao Lingjiang sensitively noticed that as he got closer and closer to the city, the atmosphere in the team became more tense and cautious.
She lifted the curtain of the car and saw the words "Luo Some City" above the city from a distance, and her heart was clear.
Luo is the stronghold of the concubine of the Xifan princess, and now she, the princess of the Great Zhou who came to make peace, just passed through here, isn't it a hard door, which makes people's hearts respond?
You must know that the friendship between the two countries of Zhou and Tibet this time is what Xifan has asked for countless initiatives. The minister of Xifan and the national teacher went to the Great Zhou in person to marry the princess of the Great Zhou on behalf of the king of Xifan.
Even though the king of Xifan has already had a concubine, this time he asked for something, and it is not good for the dignified princess of Dazhou to live in the concubine position. Therefore, when he asked to marry, Xifan promised that the princess of the Great Zhou would be treated with the same courtesy.
After this move, it was inevitable that the face of the Nang clan in the right position was a little unpleasant.
The city of Raksa was the only place to pass through the royal capital, and now that they had passed through it, the Na Nang clan might not be embarrassed, and they could not complain that everyone in the team was cautious.
As for Gongji, it seems to be even more like a needle, after all, he has long had old grudges with the Nang clan, and the current matter of harmony is indispensable for him to contribute to the troubles behind his back, so it is impossible to say that the Nang clan has already remembered him a few more times in his heart.
But whether it is the palace building built or the treatment of this concubine, in the final analysis, it is all pretended to be for Da Zhou to see.
If she has no ability and means, the best outcome for a princess of different races far away from her homeland is just a lonely and stable life without favor and children.
If you want her to say that the Nang clan is consuming their minds on her, it is better to think about how to deal with the situation of the dominance of Buddhist Tantra in the royal capital.
Xiao Lingjiang lowered the curtain, listened to the squeak of the carriage, and swayed into the city gate.
Soon after the carriage entered the city, he heard the horses galloping towards him, and then there was a "whoop," and the horses neighed, and stopped in front of the procession.
"But Da Zhou and his team are here?"
Pei You frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”
The man, who was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, sat upright on his horse, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I am Na Na Moto, son of the lord of the city of Raksa. Your Excellency must be the son of Pei Yu Pei Shizi of the Great Zhou, right? My father heard that the prince was escorting the princess of Da Zhou through the city of Luo, and invited the two of them to the mansion to rest and stay. ”
said that it was an invitation, but his move was obviously extremely rude.
Pei You's face was cold: "Thank you for the kindness of the city lord." But there is a post station in the city where we can rest, and we will no longer come to the door. ”
Seeing that he coldly refused, Moto suddenly showed displeasure on his face, and just as he was about to speak, Gongji had already gotten out of the carriage and stepped forward: "Moto's nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Moto frowned slightly, and reluctantly turned over and dismounted: "It has been a year since the Great Minister went to Dazhou through Luo Some Cities, and it is indeed a long time since I saw him. ”
He looked at the carriage in the middle of the procession, and his words had a deep meaning: "The Great Minister has made an alliance with Da Zhou this time to welcome back Princess Yong'an, which is really painstaking and hard. ”
You must know that the reason why the king suddenly sent someone to Da Zhou to marry and ask to marry the princess of Da Zhou this time was because Gongji was talking behind his back.
It is said that it is for the peace of the two countries, but how can their clan not know the various thoughts and schemes they are mixed in?
Gongji pretended not to know the sarcasm in his words, and said with a smile: "They are all doing things for the king, how can they say it hard." ”
"That being the case, the Great Prime Minister and Princess Da Zhou passed through here, and Daddy and I should also fulfill the friendship of landlords." Moto laughed and invited again, "Lu Yao is tired, how about you go to my house to rest?" ”
In the city of Luo, Gongji was unwilling to deal with the Na Nang clan more in his heart.
After all, according to his and Tuo's position, he must be more careful in the territory of the Sac clan. You don't see it, Natha's hand has not shown his face since he stepped into the boundary of the city of Raksha.
However, it was not impossible for the Moto father and son to invite them so warmly.
Right now, Xiao Lingjiang is the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of the sac clan, if she encounters any accidents in the process, it has nothing to do with him.
No, they can also take this opportunity to completely defeat the Na Nan clan. Isn't that a win-win-win?
Gongji was simply happy to see it, but in the face of Moto's invitation again, he didn't want to come down immediately, but looked at Pei You in embarrassment: "Shizi, you see ......"
Pei You could vaguely guess a few points about the plan in his heart, he sneered coldly, but there was an indifferent look on his face: "The big arrangement is." ”
"In that case...... "Gongji laughed, "then we will come to the door to make a fuss." ”
The stopped team continued forward, slowly entering the Na Nan Clan's mansion.
The Na Nang clan was already a royal retainer as early as the beginning of the state in Xifan, and the family was a wealthy family in Xifan.
When the former king of Xifan was young, he appointed his uncle Na Nang Jialegchu as the prime minister, and controlled the government for more than ten years. It has made great contributions to the rapid growth of Western Tibet.
Even though under the deliberate admiration of the king of Western Tibet, Mu Chi Zanpu, Buddhist Tantric Buddhism has become more and more dominant, and upstarts like Gongji are quite important, but the old clan of the Na Nang clan who believes in Bon has lived up to its former glory, but after all, there is still a concubine of the king of Western Tibet, and there are clansmen in the court who are still in important positions.
The carriage slowly stopped in the middle of the house, and Xiao Lingjiang leaned out of the carriage with a veil on his face.
The idle people in the courtyard have all been waved away, leaving only the patriarch of the Narang clan and the lord of the city of Rachi, Nalang Danajian, to lead the men and women of the clan to greet them.
When they saw Xiao Lingjiang appear, everyone couldn't help but show curiosity, but it was a pity that she asked her to cover her face with a light veil, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
Seeing her elegant and relaxed posture between actions, Danajian's eyes were slightly deep, he stepped forward, put his right palm on his chest and saluted slightly: "Princess Yong'an." ”
Xiao Ling Jiang also replied lightly: "That bag city lord, I'm sorry." ”
Danajian smiled: "The princess is a distinguished guest, it is too late for us to welcome, how can we say that it is disturbing?" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hands and struck his palms slightly, and a servant came up with something in his hand.
