Ashina Peony chuckled and said in a low voice: "What the Queen said is true. Naturally, we cannot take it lightly. Just imagine, the owners of the North and the South are one family. How much less blood will be shed? How much hatred can be eliminated?"
She knows Xiao's weakness. If there is anyone among the nobles of the two countries who sincerely wants everyone to live in peace, Queen Xiao is undoubtedly one of them.
Moreover, how could she not see that Xiao had more to say?
As she expected, Mrs. Xiao's expression softened, her brows furrowed slightly, and she thought for a while before adding: "I heard that the emperor stayed on the grassland for a few years, and then calculate how old he was when he returned south.
, he probably went north to the Great Wall when he was eight or nine years old.
If we set out from Fufeng County, we would have to travel for a year and a half, traveling long distances and taking a girl with us. At that time, there was a war in Jin and a large army gathered..."
Having said this, Mrs. Xiao looked around with a guilty conscience and stopped talking.
The meaning is very obvious. How could a child under ten years old, leading a little girl, get through without someone to protect him?
When Li Ponan returned, he just wanted a way out, and the fabricated life experience was full of loopholes. When Yuchi Gong was guarding the gate of Mayi City, he could see the loopholes, let alone a thoughtful person.
It's fine if no one pursues it, but once you think about it carefully, it's simply untenable.
Of course, now that Li Po is the emperor, no one will question his origins. Otherwise, the Dou family in Fufeng can keep it a secret just by asking in the county? But do they dare?
Ashina Mudan finally showed a determined smile, thinking that only a caring person like the Queen could tell her this, and she believed that Brother Yang Gongren should also have some guesses.
But if she asked them like this, they would definitely remain silent and not hear anything useful, and what they said would soon reach the emperor's ears.
"So, he should be the son of King Yang Liang of Han, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen King of Han as his king's title. The son inherits his father's legacy. People in the south are very particular about this...
But there is still a question. On that day, Yang Liang was defeated. It seemed that all his family members were taken back to the capital. No one was heard of slipping through the net. The queen was in the capital at that time, but there were rumors that Yang Liang's son escaped? And Yang Liang's son escaped.
I only have one son, I guess his name is Yang Hao, right?
Where is he now? If he is still alive, maybe I can pay him a visit?"
Mrs. Xiao made a sad face and looked at Ashina Peony, who seemed to have transformed into an interrogator. She said to her heart that you are really courageous. If you want to go all over Chang'an to inquire about the emperor's secrets, aren't you afraid of being beheaded by the emperor?
?
She regretted saying this to Ashina Mudan, but even now, she could no longer take back what she said. She could only say with a twitching heart: "You don't have to be busy, Yang Hao died in Jiangdu... Alas, pursuing
Do these really work?
I might as well tell you everything. I heard at that time that the King of Han had a concubine in Jinyang. The mother was from a very humble background. When the child was born, Queen Wenwen was still there. It should be that the King of Han was afraid that the mother would not be happy, so he did not report it to the clan.
When the King of Han was defeated, he was not found. Erlang seems to have sent people to search for him, but he probably could not find any trace of him, and then nothing happened."
The clues have been pieced together by Mrs. Xiao, but every time she thinks about how she was still a little baby when she was just in her prime, and she had to be called aunt according to her seniority, she feels strange and uncomfortable.
A secret that had been hidden in her heart for many years was revealed to others, but she did not feel at all relaxed. Instead, she was frightened, and all she felt in her heart was regret.
Ashina Peony was just the opposite. The Queen's visit was indeed not in vain, and it saved her a lot of time. Otherwise, she would have to visit those old people one by one, and everyone has become mature. Maybe how to deal with her.
And the more people she meets, the more dangerous her situation will be in Chang'an, because she still doesn't know what the emperor's attitude is. If she offends him, it would be easy to be kicked out of Chang'an. She may never see the grassland again.
So she happily said: "Tsk, tsk, the son of the King of Han has pacified the princes and became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty many years later. If Yang Guangquan knew about it, wouldn't he be angry to death again?"
Mrs. Xiao was really dissatisfied now, and patted her lightly, "Don't talk nonsense, Emperor Wen's family is almost extinct, and now that there are one or two alive, they all should be happy underground.
And don’t be too happy too soon. After so many years, who can really know what happened back then? The emperor already has a title for his country, and he will never admit it.
Huh, if you go out and talk nonsense, I'm afraid you will lose your life."
Ashina Peony shook her head and smiled and said: "The queen is too worried, I am afraid that even if I go out to publicize it, no one would dare to believe it... I can only tell the Khan.
As for the truth or falsehood...we are not trying to solve the case, we have to get to the bottom of things...Everyone's fate must be obeyed by God's arrangements, and God will always give the best guidance to His beloved."
Having said this, she touched her chest and lowered her head devoutly, as if praying to God.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her and said in her heart that this is not a place where gods can come. The person watching you might be Buddha or Laojun. If you pray to the gods here, they will probably be unhappy.
Of course, Buddha and Laojun were very tolerant and did not punish Ashina Peony.
After a long time, Ashina Peony raised her head and smiled: "The Khan sent me here to meet him in person. I think he will not refuse the Khan's invitation. When the two countries meet to form an alliance, there will be no need to mention the scene. If the Queen can
The Khan will definitely be very happy to go with him and participate in the grand event."
"Meeting an alliance?" Mrs. Xiao glanced at Ashina Peony in surprise. She immediately thought of Yang Guang's northern tour of Yulin. She didn't go with him that time. She heard that the scene was extremely grand. After returning to Chang'an,
Yang Guang was still excited.
She asked secretary Yu Shiji to carefully record every detail of his alliance with Qimin Khan, and prepare to record it in the history of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, she still remembered that Yang Guang proudly told his ministers that if Qimin Khan had not managed it for him,
He is with Turk, otherwise he will always be by his side and serve him.
It is similar to what Mu Gan Khan said about two filial sons in the south, both of which are extremely insulting.
So this time Khan met him in person... and sent someone to inquire about his life experience first. Did he want him to visit his aunt like a real nephew?
Mrs. Xiao worriedly thought that after being a queen for so many years, she would not lack political sensitivity, but she just got the cause and effect wrong.
Ashina Mudan seemed to know what she was thinking, so he leaned close to her again and whispered: "Their meeting was different from when Yang Guang met Qimin Khan in Yulin.
No one will take hundreds of thousands of people on a long journey, and no one will stand and enjoy the admiration of the crowd, while some will kneel to express submission. When they meet, they will only talk about the future of the two countries...
By the way, Khan also wants to see if he is really as similar to Emperor Wen and his wife as I said..."
Mrs. Xiao felt relieved after hearing this, "No king will truly surrender to others, otherwise he will definitely arouse resentment. You should know the story of daring and daring... I don't think Khan should do this. Can you imagine two kings?"
Do you look like you are sitting there calmly?"
Ashina Mudan was shocked. This makes sense. Why didn't she think of it before? Did Khan think of this? Or was he too distracted by the person's life experience and ignored the danger?
When Yang Guang met Qimin Khan, was Qimin Khan really so obedient? What did he think after that? We don’t know, but it made Shibi Khan who was participating in the alliance very angry.
.
Moreover, Yang Guang met the envoys sent by Goguryeo to the Turks during the alliance, which was also the reason why he later decided to conquer Goguryeo.
An alliance caused the three empires to be involved in the war one after another, and all suffered heavy losses. Do you think it is dangerous for the kings of the two countries to meet?
It's true that all bystanders know, Mrs. Xiao undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Ashina Peony Duotou, which was really refreshing.
After thinking about it for a while, she felt that she had to send someone back immediately to remind Khan. It was best to make her change her mind and do it quickly.
Otherwise, we agreed to an alliance, okay, but you changed your mind. Are you kidding me? The trust that was finally built will be destroyed in one day.
Mrs. Xiao over there sighed and stood up slowly, "It's getting late and I'm a little tired, so I won't talk to you. You will stay in the house tonight, but you must remember not to turn this place into a post for Honglu Temple."
Pavilion.”
After saying that, he walked away.
Ashina Peony quickly stood up to see her off. She knew that the queen was really annoyed. As for what she was annoyed about...
Ashina Peony smiled bitterly, and there were many reasons. For example, she repeatedly mentioned Yang Guang, and she embarrassed the queen by questioning the emperor's life experience, and she told the queen about the alliance, which obviously caused a stir.
The Queen's disgust.
The queen had lived in seclusion for many years and ignored foreign affairs, but she had brought countless troubles to the queen. It was good that she was not kicked out immediately. Fortunately, she could be allowed to stay in the house for one night.
Otherwise, it would be a big joke if the Turkic envoy was kicked out of the house late at night.
The queen was still a bit shy, and the man was unwilling to listen to any suggestion of alliance, but she still drank a lot of wine with her and did not push her worries to others.
Ashina Mudan sat back on the couch a little frustrated, and drank some more tasteless tea. Obviously, the tea soup could not get rid of her troubles. Her brows became more and more frowned, as if they were twisted into a knot.
He thought about what Mrs. Xiao said just now, and imagined the scene when Khan and Emperor Li met. Should they treat each other as equals, or should they separate guests and hosts?
She couldn't help but hold her forehead and let out a sigh, God, this is such a stupid idea. Just one meeting can make her embarrassed for a long time, so how entangled should they be when they talk about big things?
……………………
On the other side, Mrs. Xiao was also uneasy. When she walked outside, she stopped and thought for a long time: "Send someone into the palace and say that I want to see...the Supreme Being."
