Chapter 518 Princess Tang

Don’t worry about the journey thousands of miles away, there will be a coming wind.

——"Jiang Xing Untitled" Qian Yu (Tang)

...

It was just dawning that day, and the gate of the vermilion palace of Daming Palace slowly opened.

Each person and one rider, without waiting for the palace gate to be completely opened, he galloped through the gap in the palace gate.

The imperial soldier who opened the door was almost hit by a fierce horse. He felt a flash of his eyes, and the horse shadow flashed, and the rider was several feet away.

The Imperial Army soldier just muttered a few words and was beaten by the commander on the back of his head. The Imperial Army Captain scolded: "I'm not silent yet! The one who went out just now was Princess Qingluan. If she heard your words, she would kill you with one sword without waiting for the military to punish the law!"

Princess Qingluan rode alone, rode her horse and quickly arrived at the Bashu Guild Hall. Princess Qingluan stepped on her horse and jumped into the hall without waiting for the horse to stop.

Bai Fu was copying Yan Zhenqing's "The Family Instructions of Yan" in his study. When he saw Princess Qingluan breaking in with great enthusiasm, he knew that there must be something important. Otherwise, as the princess, he would not have been so disgraced.

When Princess Qingluan saw Bai Fu, her eyes turned red and she finally cried, crying, "The Uighur Gele Khan requested marriage, and hoped that the father would betrothed me to him."

Bai Fu was stunned and said, "Didn't the Tang Dynasty marry the daughter of the royal family in the name of a princess? How could the daughter of the emperor be married to a foreign country?"

Princess Qingluan cried and said, "It's all the ideas of Queen Zhang. She said that to suppress the rebellion, we need to use the power of the Uighurs, and a real princess is needed to win over the Uighur Khan."

When Bai Fu heard this, he knew what the problem was. It must be that Empress Zhang coveted Li Chu's position as crown prince, hoping to drive Li Chu's sister, Princess Qingluan, out of the Tang Dynasty, and divide Li Chu's influence in front of Suzong, so as to lay the groundwork for changing crown prince in the future.

Bai Fu asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Princess Qingluan cried and said, "When my father was hesitant, my sister Princess Ningguo stepped forward and said to her father, "My daughter married Zheng Xun of Xingyang and Xue Kangheng of Hedong, and they were widowed in the end. It can be seen that her daughter is an ominous person and should not be with her father for a long time. Qingluan has not yet married, so she should marry a wishful husband and not let her bear the sorrow like me."

The father nodded with tears in his eyes and finally issued an order for my sister to marry me."

Speaking of this, Princess Qingluan burst into tears.

It turned out that when An Lushan's rebels captured Chang'an, Princess Qingluan got the news immediately and left the city to flee. At that time, Princess Ningguo, Qingluan's sister, was widowed and had a high fever. The royal family couldn't take care of themselves, and no one cared about her, but they just fled for their own lives.

Although Princess Qingluan and Princess Ningguo were not born to the same mother, she was thinking about her, afraid that she would be humiliated by the thief. Regardless of the critical situation, she insisted on taking her out and running for life.

The group of Princess Ningguo was full of royal families and children, and they were slow to move. On the road, they encountered refugees and thugs, who snatched the carriages and horses. Only Princess Qingluan was very skilled in martial arts and saved the horses under her crotch.

Princess Ningguo had not recovered from the serious illness and could no longer walk. She said to Princess Qingluan: "Forget it, Sister Qingluan, you can escape first, I will walk slowly behind me."

Princess Qingluan refused. In a time of chaos, once the sister who knows martial arts is put on the order, God knows what will happen.

Princess Qingluan gave up her horse and helped Princess Ningguo ride on the horse. She led the horse and accompanied Princess Ningguo to walk on foot. She walked more than 100 miles of difficult mountain roads every day.

Whenever she arrived at a campsite, Princess Qingluan would personally go to the stream to pick up water, get some firewood, cook for her, and bring it to Princess Ningguo. Under Princess Qingluan's meticulous care, Princess Ningguo's health gradually improved and finally recovered. It can be said that if Princess Qingluan had not been taken care of, Princess Ningguo would have died long ago.

So at this critical moment, Princess Ningguo stood up and protected her sister Princess Qingluan despite her personal safety.

Hearing this, Bai Fu sincerely admired Princess Ningguo and said to himself: "I have seen a few princes of the Li Tang royal family. Except for the dead Jianning King Li Yan, who was yingwu Guoyi, there were few other princes who had great prospects.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty’s daughter is as good as a man. Although she is weak, she has a bit of a great husband!”

Bai Fu learned in detail about the marriage with Princess Qingluan, comforted her for a long time, and persuaded Princess Qingluan to return to the palace.

After Princess Qingluan left, Bai Fu brought the Sun brothers and Persian general Alberts to briefly describe the marriage.

Persian general Alberts said: "The Uighurs' relative minister Geluozhi had some friendship with me. Just as the young man Bai had an order, I would like to serve the work of a dog or a horse."

Bai Fu said: "You will send me ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry to Geluozhi. Please ask Princess Qingluan on behalf of Princess Qingluan to take care of Princess Ningguo.

His Royal Highness is not familiar with the place in a foreign country, so he will inevitably face a lot of suffering. At the critical moment, he asked Geluozhi to take care of his position and act according to the opportunity.

If Princess Ningguo can return to the Tang Dynasty safely in the future, I am willing to give him ten more cars of gold and silver, and I will give him a lot of rewards!"

Persian general Alberts smiled and said, "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Even if he does not recognize my old face, then Gloric will do his best to take care of the princess' safety for such a valuable gift."

Everyone laughed.

Tu Xingsun continued: "The grassland is when the grass is growing and the eagle is flying, and the horse is growing and the hair is growing, our business gangs must also go north and trade with the tribes of the grassland. It is better to follow the Princess Ningguo convoy, taking care of the princess' safety on the one hand, and doing grassland business on the other hand.

There are dozens of Western Region swordsmen who have been hired by the merchant gang who have paid a lot of money. They are very skilled in martial arts, and are more familiar with the customs of the grassland tribes and are good at dealing with nomadic tribes.

When His Highness the Princess takes root in the Uighurs, he can also select some loyal and loyal people from the swordsman and follow the princess as a escort. If His Highness is in danger, they can also act cheaply and protect the princess’ safety.”

After everyone discussed the details, Persian general Alberts and Tu Xingsun took the order and left.

...

On July 17, Li Heng appointed Gele Khan of the Uighur Khan, Luo Gemo Yanchu, as the Yingwu Weiyuanpigaque Khan. He sent the palace supervisor, Li Yu, the King of Hanzhong, as the envoy of the envoy, and Li Xun, the doctor of the right department, as the deputy envoy; Pei Mian, the left servant, sent Princess Ningguo to the border.

On July 18, Suzong appointed Xian Yu Shuming, the deputy envoy of Li Yu. Xian Yu Shuming was the younger brother of Xian Yu Zhongtong. After Xian Yu Zhongtong passed away, Xian Yu Shuming lived in Chang'an. During the period when Xian Yu Shuming was appointed as the deputy chief of the Si Xun, he was responsible for evaluating the political achievements of officials. Because of his integrity and fairness in his work, all officials were convinced and highly valued by Emperor Suzong.

On July 24, Suzong personally sent Princess Ningguo to Xianyang.

When the father and daughter parted, Suzong was extremely sad. Suzong said: "Son, marrying from a foreign country is uncertain, life and death are uncertain, you must take good care of yourself."

Princess Ningguo comforted Emperor Suzong and said goodbye: "Father, take care of the dragon body, and don't have to worry about my daughter. As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, I am the duty of sharing the worries of the empire. The Li Tang Dynasty is important, and I will die without hatred." After that, she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Suzong a few times.

Li Heng sighed and tears flowed.

After the Princess Ningguo bowed to Emperor Suzong, she came to Princess Qingluan, held Princess Qingluan's hand, smiled gently, and said, "Sister, after this farewell, we will meet again in the world. I don't know when I will be able to see each other again.

Bai Fu is extremely handsome and elegant, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people. Take the time to get your father to give him a marriage so that Queen Zhang will not have trouble again.

It is said that princesses are as noble as gold and jade, but in fact they are not. Born in the imperial family, they have no choice but to be blessed with good fortune. This is our fate…”

...

Princess Qingluan watched her sister board the Luanfeng carriage, dust rolling and heading north, she could no longer help but feel sad, and snuggled in her elder sister Princess Changle's arms, crying bitterly.

...

Among the huge team that followed the Princess of Ningguo to marry far away, there was another royal daughter, the daughter of King Rong Li Wan. Because Princess of Ningguo was about to be Ke Dun, she could only marry the Princess of Ningguo as a "mother".

The two of them walked together along the way, talking to each other, and life passed very quickly.

A few months later, Li Yu and others arrived at the Uighur Royal Courtyard. Yao Luo Ge Mo Yanchu was wearing a red robe and a crown and hat, and sat on the imperial tent blanket. The ceremonial guard was very strict and he only took the Princess of Ningguo into the tent, and ordered Li Yu and others to stand outside the tent.

When he was met, Li Yu refused to kneel down and kowtowed. Yao Luo Ge Mo Yanchuo said angrily: "I am the king of Tian Khan, and I am the king. How dare you not obey the etiquette of the ministers to the king?"

Li Yu and Xian Yu Shuming were tall and bright, and replied loudly: "In the past, the Tang Dynasty and other countries were married to princesses as royal women, and married to other countries.

Today, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty believed that Khan made great contributions, so he married Brigadier General's biological daughter to you, with kindness and etiquette, supreme honor and favor.

As the prince-consort of the emperor, you show off your dignity to the emperor. Not only do you not thank your Majesty for your kindness, but you actually sat on the blanket to accept the emperor's order. It's a disrespectful thing!"

Hearing the righteous reprimand of Li Yu and Xian Yu Shuming, Yao Luo Ge Mo Yanchuo then calmed down, immediately changed his attitude, stood up and stood up, accepted the enthronement, and thanked God for his kindness.

The next day, Yao Luo Ge Mo Yanchu named Princess Ningguo as Uighur Kedun. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty married his daughter, which was the supreme glory of the grassland. The Uighur people killed sheep and cattle, bonfires and drinking parties, sang and danced all night long, and the whole country was jubilant.

...

On this day, the geese returned south, and flew into groups in a row, flying south. The geese chirped and lingered all over the sky.

Princess Ningguo felt something, walked out of the tent, wore a heavy leather robe, stood in the middle of the endless grassland, facing the cold wind, looking at the direction of Chang'an and praying silently.

"I wish the Tang Dynasty a good life, the relatives a good life, and the people of the world..." (To be continued)
