Historical records say that Chai Mingyan, Emperor Wuhuan of the Feng Dynasty, died suddenly of illness in Dongshun Palace at the age of fifty-one.
This age is not considered young, and certainly not old. Chai Mingyan spent his whole life in the military, from the time he ascended the throne to the end of his life. He fought in a total of four battles, won dozens of battles, and was physically strong.
He was very healthy and had no fatal hidden diseases. Logically speaking, he would never die so hastily in the prime of life.
As for the cause of death of this famous monarch, naturally there are different opinions.
Some people say that the Chai family has inherited a rare disease, so they have always had a short life. This is indeed somewhat true. After all, there are many examples to list - his biological uncle and nominal father Chai Han was not even five years old.
He died at the age of ten; his eldest son Chai Rui also died young, including his unlucky grandson. Although Chai Zhengkuang died in battle, neither of his two sons lived to be fifteen.
He died in infancy. Chai Mingyan was very lucky to be able to survive to the fifty mark.
There is also a theory that is accompanied by a conspiracy theory, saying that Chai Zhengkuang's death was planned by Chai Zhengkuang, because he was the grandson, not the prince, after all, and there were two uncles above him. In order to cook the raw rice as soon as possible, Chai Zhengkuang
The basis for this argument is that Chai Zhengkuang quickly carried out drastic reforms after he succeeded to the throne, seizing the power of his two uncles to a certain extent. However, this argument is not difficult to overturn - Chai Zhengkuang did
He had been his grandson for several years, and there was no evidence to prove that Chai Mingyan ever had the idea of deposing his grandson. Therefore, most of this conjecture was considered to be that later generations felt that Chai Zhengkuang was tyrannical and unethical, so they were far-fetched and added some dirt on him.
In addition to the history books, there is also a rumor that has been widely circulated and was even considered to be the truth at one time - it tells a story that may not be logical, but people are willing to believe it due to a certain psychology.
Chai Mingyan made his third northern expedition to the Hu tribe, marching hundreds of miles straight. In the battle of Jihe, he captured alive the leader of the Yu tribe who had the same bloodline as the Haogao tribe. He pursued the victory and defeated several tribes such as Ayhada and Lasu. He achieved great success.
The results of the battle.
After this battle, the Ayahada tribe, which bowed to Chai Mingyan, not only began to pay tribute every year, but even sent their princess Turanna to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
But in the eyes of others, Aya Hadabe's behavior of sending the princess off seemed not polite - if the princess became a concubine, then according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, wouldn't the emperor have to call Aya Hadabe Noyan his father-in-law? A defeated general under his command actually
How dare you be so arrogant? What's more, this princess is actually just a role placed next to Chai Mingyan to give her a pillow.
After Princess Turanna arrived in the capital, memorials were flying all over the government and the public. The radical military generals were eager to command the Ayhada tribe again, while the more conservative ones also felt that they should get rid of this suspected in-law. The civil servants were considering
When it comes to some other factors - although Aya Hadabe's wish is for a marriage, it might as well be the marriage of the princess to the prince.
But Chai Mingyan, a man who has been bold and unruly all his life, doesn't think so. To him, this is a very indifferent thing - Turanna is equivalent to a trophy to him, which is proof that he has conquered the grassland.
, even if she is just a vase sitting there, there is no reason to return it. As for ethics, should he call Noyan of Aya Hadabe his father-in-law... If he dares to call her, will the old man dare to agree?
So, Chai Mingyan happily accepted the gift, and also named Turanna as his concubine. However, Chai Mingyan seemed to have no special love for this beautiful exotic princess, and it was just a souvenir and ornament for diplomatic relations.
.
When Chai Mingyan was forty-five years old, the queen and the prince fell ill and passed away within a year. During that time, this talented monarch also fell into a state of collapse. Perhaps in order to vent the sadness and anger in his heart.
, he once again devoted his energy to the military field in which he was good at. He launched the last personal expedition in his life, and defeated the Ersu tribe who was about to make a move in the northwest frontier and established the khanate. He once again escaped into the desert.
During this period, Chai Mingyan was always accompanied by the little princess Turanna who was not very favored. Perhaps Chai Mingyan brought her simply because he wanted to combine the qualities of a gift, a hostage and a spy.
The "tribute" showed the empire's strength and bravery in front of him, but he himself had to admit that Turan
Na's presence really relieved his worries.
Hu Bu was brave and martial, and his style was also reflected in the women. Turanna was especially good at sword dancing. Different from the pretentious postures of the dancers trained in the palace, the little princess's sword skills were murderous, which Chai Mingyan admired, and also
It is precisely because of this that Turanna was ordered to move into the East Palace shortly after Banshi returned to the court.
Some people say that this is a signal sent by Chai Mingyan to make Turanna the queen - but the queen is a woman, and there has never been a precedent for a Hu woman to be the queen in the Feng Dynasty. Is this...
But the emperor didn't summon them to discuss matters, and no one dared to ask. After all, Chai Mingyan really didn't care much about etiquette.
"That's the story of the late emperor..." The Chai family is very cunning. Chai Mingyan, like his uncle, prefers sweet honey wine. Perhaps because he drank the late emperor's favorite wine today, he told his beloved concubine
It begins with the life of the late emperor - including the love story that was included in the imperial forbidden volumes, but has already been abuzz outside.
"Your Majesty, why are you telling me this?" Turanna sat aside with her sword in her arms.
Chai Mingyan suddenly turned around and looked at each other: "I ask you, do you want to be the queen?"
Turanna couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long time she responded: "I don't want to."
"All the concubines in this palace want to be queen, don't you?" Chai Mingyan didn't seem to expect that his request would be rejected, "Do you think they will disagree?"
Turanna laughed softly: "Your Majesty is nearly fifty years old, and I am too young. If I leave before Your Majesty, wouldn't Your Majesty have to experience the pain of losing his wife again? And if Your Majesty passes away first, I will
Go, I have no heirs, no power, no prestige, and I am still a barbarian woman - how can I sit in this position?"
While talking and laughing, the graceful woman's long sword, which never left her body, was already at Chai Mingyan's throat.
Everything Turanna said was true. She really didn't want to be the queen. There were several reasons, but she never said the most important factor.
Her real name is not Turanna, and her original identity is not the princess of the Ayahada tribe. She is just an orphan who lost her parents in the war between the two countries. Noyan of the Ayahada tribe adopted this warrior's daughter.
An orphan, and planned an assassination that lasted for more than ten years, asking her to pretend to be Princess Turanna and go deep into the harem of the Feng Dynasty. If she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince and be established as the prince, she would disintegrate the Feng Dynasty from within.
, and if there is no such opportunity, he will take advantage of his status to assassinate Chai Mingyan.
In her understanding, Chai Mingyan is responsible for the lives of her parents, and the same goes for her adoptive father. However, because of the grace of upbringing, she would rather blame all the blame on Chai Mingyan, and she will sacrifice the emperor's life.
In return.
The reason why Mrs. Hu chose to take action at this time was precisely because Chai Mingyan's question woke her up and reminded her of her original intention when she came here.
She has noticed that Chai Mingyan has fallen in love with her, and she has also noticed that she has fallen in love with Chai Mingyan, so ending everything now is the best result.
Chai Mingyan put his arms around Hu Nu's waist, put his forehead against her abdomen, and spoke in a very low voice: "The late emperor and Aunt Li can't sleep together in life, and you and I can't die in the same tomb. It seems that we have to pay attention to one thing and lose the other."
This is the fate of the Chai family..."
The emperor, who was renowned for his martial prowess throughout history, had no intention of resisting, and he did not know how he felt about his lover's sword-fighting: "There are few people on duty in the palace tonight. You leave the palace through Tianliang Gate and walk along East Fourth Street.
, go to the guard post there to find Lu Heng. The one you have seen is the one who always accompanies us when we hunt. Give him this sign and he will take you out of the city to a safe place."
Chai Mingyan pressed a shining token, half the size of a palm, into Nu Nu's arms, and finally smiled: "Don't forget to pass on the imperial doctor to me when you leave the palace. Tomorrow is a good and auspicious day, and it is suitable for the announcement.
The news of my death will be considered honorable if it is written down in the history books."
Turanna bit her lip after listening to Chai Mingyan's words and asked, "You already knew that, so you arranged all this."
"After all, I am an emperor who is both civil and military and has a good reputation in the history books. Don't I know the purpose of Ayahadabe sending you to the palace?" Chai Mingyan's face was filled with pride.
Turanna suddenly felt a little
Angry and angry, her sword left a wound on Chai Mingyan's chest that was not fatal immediately, but would never go away: "We are settled."
"So you still have to leave." Chai Mingyan's foreshadowing all failed. He was so careful and gentle just to let her stay down-to-earth, but Turanna's "two clears" still conveyed the subtext.
"I failed to fulfill the agreement I made with my adoptive father, so I have no face to return to the grassland. And if I stay here, your majesty can sleep peacefully?" That was the last time Chai Mingyan saw Hu Nu's bright smile, and he felt relieved.
In the end, Hu Nu left, taking away her sword and their child. As early as a month ago, Chai Mingyan learned from the imperial physician that Turanna was pregnant. As a person involved,
Turanna knew very well that neither of them wanted the next generation to repeat the same mistakes and continue the tragedy between countries.
When Chai Mingyan was dying, he seemed to see the graceful dancing posture again, and his last words were excerpted "out of context" and became the name of this sword.
The fourth famous sword contains the conspiracy between countries, cuts off the tragedy between people, and finally turns into a graceful dance of Hu Nu.
