"Concubine Cao, please pay homage to Duke Fengtian!" In the Shule Palace, Zhang Zhao looked at the woman who was bowing down in front of him with horror on his face. He almost thought he was hallucinating.
What Cao family? This is obviously the queen of Prague Khan Saktu!
She obviously has a Scythian face that is completely different from the Han people! Why does she call herself the concubine Cao? And she can also speak Chinese with a strange tone, but she can definitely communicate?
"The Duke seems to be surprised? Are you surprised that my surname is Cao? Or are you surprised that I can speak Chinese?"
Queen Karakhan, who called herself Cao, hid the two young figures behind her, and then looked at Zhang Zhao calmly.
This is the inner palace of Prague Khan Saktu. Not many people can enter here, so there are only four people standing opposite this woman, Zhang Zhao, Cao Yanming, Liu Zaisheng and a Pegasus who came from outside the city. Official in Khotan.
"To be honest! I'm quite surprised!" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but tuck his chin, which was a sign that he was a little nervous.
Cao Yanming beside him was already doubting life. Liu Zaisheng and the internal officials were better off. Obviously, they should have been exposed to this kind of situation before.
"My concubine's surname is Cao. That's because my ancestor was the king of Dongcao Kingdom. The name Cao is recognized by your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty court.
The reason why I have learned Chinese even though I am thousands of miles away is because my family is the descendant of Hanri Tianzhong!"
It’s interesting. I traveled through time and got into trouble with someone named Cao, right?
Zhang Zhao turned to look at Cao Yanming, and Cao Yanming also touched his nose uncomfortably.
"Cousin, what do you think I'm doing? I'm a Han, not a Sogdian from Cao State! Why don't you recruit Li Qilang? He must know something about it."
Yes! Isn't Li Qilang a native of Cao? Although one is from Dong Cao and the other is from Xicao, maybe they have some origins!
"Han Ri Tian Zhong, hum! Your Highness the Queen, when your Kara Khanate attacked our Kingdom of Jin for no reason before, killed our border people, and persecuted the believers of the three religions, I never saw you mention that you were Han Ri Tian Zhong. Descendants!"
Liu Zaisheng sneered, obviously not interested in this statement at all.
But Zhang Zhao became interested because he was really familiar with the term Hanri Tianzhong!
Once he was familiar with this Cao family, he had an impression, but... Zhang Zhao closed his eyes and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this word.
Liu Zaisheng saw the puzzled look on Zhang Zhao's face, raised his hands to him and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Erlang. There has always been a legend in the Pantuo Kingdom that the locals were born to a Han princess and a god who came down from the sun." Descendants of his son.”
Liu Zaisheng sneered a few times as he spoke, "Humph! But Erlangjun, look at their looks, how similar they are to me. They obviously want to cling to them."
Ms. Cao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised her eyebrows when she heard what Liu Zaisheng said.
"This general! The theory of the Han-Japanese Heavenly Seeds has existed since ancient times. At that time, the Tang Dynasty did not coerce the Anxi and Zhaowu kingdoms. If they were to cling to them, shouldn't they start clinging to them after the Tang Dynasty came?"
Liu Zaisheng's eyebrows moved. He didn't know why, but when he heard the word "Han Ri Tian Zhong", he felt an uncontrollable anger. If it's good for him, he'd be "Han Ri Tian Zhong". If it's not good, he'd just run away from people, right?
"She is not only a member of the royal family of Dongcao, but also of the bloodline of the Han-Japanese clan. She is also the queen of Karahan. Many Han people have suffered in Shule City in recent years. There were also many descendants of the Anxi Protectorate in Shule. How come that? Didn't you see the queen protecting her with her surname, Cao?
Dong Cao Shi was canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and the Sogdians of Cao State also received a lot of benefits in the Tang Dynasty. In the past, when His Highness Li Yuanzhong, the king of Ningsai County in West Cao, was guarding Beiting, no Dong Cao people came to serve?"
Ms. Cao smiled bitterly, "Does this general think that the status of a slave is comparable to that of Empress Cao of the Jin Kingdom? Empress Cao has known each other for more than ten years and has a deep relationship with the Great Sage, and has the support of her mother's family behind her. What does a slave have?"
The heroic ruler of Bragg Khan was a king who could exterminate his uncle's family and dig pits for his cousins, sisters, nephews, and nieces and bury them alive. How could he tolerate a concubine like Nu to even say a word about foreign affairs?
When Dongcao destroyed his country in the past, he wrote more than ten times a year, saying that the country was in danger and asking heavenly soldiers to attack the black-clad food. Was there any response? When the country was destroyed and there was no time to protect itself, who could help?"
Liu Zaisheng was about to go up to argue, but Zhang Zhao suddenly grabbed Liu Zaisheng's left hand. It turned out that he vaguely remembered what happened to Hanri Tianzhong.
"Is the Pantuo Kingdom located in the former Tang Dynasty Congling Shouchu's old place? Are they also called Kizikurgan?"
Ms. Cao on the ground suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the word "Kizikurgan" and put on a surprised smile.
"It turns out that Fengtian County Duke also knows about us. It can be seen that the theory of Han and Japanese species is not a clinging to it, right?"
"It turns out it's you! No wonder I feel familiar!" Zhang Zhao also showed a relaxed smile on his face. The legend of the Han-Ri Tianzhong is a legend that has been passed down to later generations, and it is about the Tajik people.
Kizikurgan is a Tajik word that means Princess City. Legend has it that the Tajiks are descendants of a Han princess who married west.
This legend has been verified by many in later generations. The most common theory is that it is the story of the year when King Yi's father of the Western Zhou Dynasty granted Jizhuo a title in Chunshan and married his eldest daughter Yuanzhen to Jizhuo.
The legend of the Han-Ri Tianzhong was recognized by many Tajiks in later generations. When Tang Sanzang went to India to obtain scriptures, he passed through the Pantuo Kingdom and recorded this story in detail.
Tajiks! The eagle that guards the border for the country, why is Hua'er such a popular protagonist? He has always been very close to the central government.
When Agubai invaded, he defended it to the death, and even the leader Aqimubek Kurchak died in the battle. When Zuo Wenxiang regained Xinjiang, the Tajiks were also the fastest responding ethnic group.
Later, they formed the Serekul Suiyuan Return Team to resist the infiltration of British and Russian imperialism into Xinjiang. During the Republic of China, they were also an ethnic group that undertook the important task of protecting the country's borders.
For the first time, Ms. Cao looked at Zhang Zhao with some confusion. What do you mean by "it's you" and "no wonder I feel familiar". Why did Mr. Zhang Erlang say these words?
Zhang Zhao thought about it secretly for a while, and the appearance of the Tajiks suddenly opened up the ideas in his mind.
He has always wanted to rob India, and he also wanted to turn robbing India into a sustainable development enterprise.
But the road to India is not easy. The most likely option is to occupy the Fergana Basin and then take a detour through the Khyber Pass.
However, although the Persian Samanid dynasty is currently weak and decadent, it is not completely exhausted and can still persist.
If he had to wait until the Persian Samanid Dynasty was defeated, the time span would probably be too long, and he would always have to go back to Guasha.
Maybe...with the help of these Tajiks, he can enter India through the ice and snow of Big and Little Bulu?
However, this woman is the queen of Saktu and is destined to be handed over to Li Shengtian. Now that she has entered Li Shengtian's harem, well! It seems a bit inconvenient for me to use her to hook up with the Tajiks!
Moreover, Zhang Zhao had a group of Sogdian Cao people, and this woman was from Dongcao. The Dongcao people lived at the exit of the Fergana Basin, between Khujand and Samarkand at the mouth of the valley.
Although they have believed in the Tianfang religion, it has not been long, and with his special status, he can completely package himself as the son-in-law of the Sogdians! In this way, he may be able to find a group of collaborators in the Fergana Basin.
Hmm! You have to find a way to prevent Li Shengtian from getting this woman!
Yes! This is for the health of my uncle and the emperor!
The body of the twenty-eight-year-old beauty looks like a crispy body. He holds a sword at his waist and kills the foolish man. His head is not visible, but his bones are secretly withered.
There are many women, but life expectancy will be shortened. If the father dies young, then this filial piety must be transferred to the emperor's uncle!
Zhang Zhao touched his chin and felt suddenly filial. I was doing this for the health of my uncle and the emperor.
