Chapter 86 (Snow White is over)
"If you make friends with powerful generals and spread rumors of rebellion, you will know the consequences."
Everyone wakes up
The back door of Duke Lu's mansion opened wide late at night, and several figures entered the mansion. Not long after, Hou Junji was sitting in the lobby with a gloomy face, silent.
This punishment is a slap in the face to me, Hou Junji. I, Hou Junji, have been loyal to you for so many years, but you have treated me like this. There is also the damn so-called etiquette of learning loyalty and patriotism. Are you saying that I, Hou Junji, are unfaithful?
Are you unfilial, unkind, unrighteous, and shameless?
I hate it so much
Li Shimin, just wait for me.
"Go ahead and call the young master."
"yes"
Not long after, Hou Jie walked into the Tang Dynasty. Hou Junji glanced at his son Hou Jie and asked, "How is your relationship with the prince?"
“OK”
"Remember to make good friends with the prince from now on. If nothing happens, ask him to go hunting or have a drink or something."
Hou Jie asked Hou Junji with a confused look on his face: "Father, the prince likes these things."
"That's why I asked you to make an appointment with him. There are people from the Kong family coming in two days. Remember to chat with them and make friends with them to pave the way for my Hou family."
"A son listens to his father's arrangements"
Although the Hou family didn't know what their father planned to do, they still agreed.
After hearing Hou Jie's answer, Hou Junji waved his hand: "Go down."
"Yes, kid, please leave"
Hou Jie returned to his room with a depressed head. He sat on the window sill of the room with a bottle of wine, looking at the stars outside, drinking and thinking.
What's wrong with his father? It's true that Hou Junji is domineering, but from birth to now, he has known that there is never a possibility that his father will fail to behave in front of the emperor.
In the end what happened?
Make friends with the prince
I originally followed the prince, but there was a problem with deliberately making friends. It seemed a little wrong to take the prince hunting and drinking.
Although Hou Jie is used to being domineering, he is not stupid.
What on earth is the father going to do?
Hou Jie seemed to have caught a glimmer of inspiration, but he didn't seem to have it. He scratched his head and drank until midnight, unable to figure out the reason.
The next day, everyone in Chang'an knew about Hou Junji's treatment, and it began to spread to other places with the coming and going of traders.
Everyone in Chang'an was talking about this, and the door of Hou's family was closed tightly, and the servants did not go out, so Yanran only had people deliver food to her.
He looked like he was going to accept the punishment honestly, and the Kong family came to visit later, so this matter was confirmed.
This incident was soon suppressed by another major event within two days. The Tang Dynasty was victorious in the Battle of Tuyuhun, and the Murong family, the ruling family of Tuyuhun, handed over a letter of surrender.
The Tang Dynasty granted Tuyuhun a reward. Murong Yanren, the patriarch of the Murong family, was granted the title of Duke of Hun. His daughter Murong Xue was granted the title of Princess Snow White and was given a hundred thousand gold and silver, allowing Murong Yanren to bring his family members to Chang'an to enjoy a wealthy life.
When talking about the surrender of Tuyuhun, we have to mention that Tuyuhun surrendered and paid tribute countless gold, silver and jewels, 100,000 sets of weapons and armor, and as many as 50,000 war horses.
At this time, the gold and silver jewelry of the golden thread were not as valuable as the later ones, especially the 50,000 war horses. At this time, the war horses sold by merchants in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were worth hundreds of guan each.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the rice was only 50 Wen per dou, and one dou was 10 liters. Now it is 7.5 kilograms. The traditional money is equal to 1,000 wen, and the traditional money is 15,000 kilograms, which is 15 tons.
Fifty thousand war horses are equivalent to the value of 750,000 tons of grain. You have to know how much the entire population of the Tang Dynasty consumed in one day.
Besides, the value of war horses is not calculated in this way. Fifty thousand war horses can form 30,000 cavalry, not to mention the value of cavalry, which is a great killer weapon in the modern era.
Tuyuhun is really rich. Some businessmen are planning to go to Tuyuhun to do business. They can make a lot of money by buying and selling two horses.
...........
The imperial edict of conferring the reward reached Tuyuhun. When Murong Xue, who was kneeling in front of her, heard that she had conferred the title of Snow White, she almost jumped up.
Damn it
Snow White
The most beautiful legendary 36d pure beauty in the world in fairy tales.
And he, wearing a small suit of armor, carrying a scimitar at his waist, was only 1.6cm tall, riding a pony and leading his bodyguards to gallop across the land every day, hunting down jackals, tigers and leopards.
There is a princess there, she is obviously a fierce female general.
After receiving the imperial edict, Murong Xue felt that there was something wrong with this style of painting, it was true.
What is going on with Snow White? Could it be that the Tang Dynasty I came to is fake? In fact, this is the world of Grimm's fairy tales.
Oh my God
"I am the most beautiful snowflake in Tuyuhun, what are you thinking about?"
Murong Xue felt a bit wrong about her title of Snow White, but she was very satisfied with the appearance of the Murong family members, especially Murong Yan.
Murong Xue has been fair and tender since she was a child, and she is kind-hearted. Regardless of whether she is male, female, old or young, poor or rich, Murong Xue treats everyone equally. Since childhood, she has worshiped Murong Xue's short-legged men, women, old and young, warriors and counselors, and her tribe has never been broken.
It is called by the Murongyan people the most beautiful snowflakes falling on their holy mountain and is recognized by the entire Tuyuhun.
His lovely appearance when he grew up shocked the Murong family and the entire Tuyuhun family, and the innermost snowflake lived up to his name.
It was expected that the Tang Dynasty granted Murong Yan the title of Duke of Hun, but the title of Princess Snow White of Murong Xue was actually the most satisfying.
This is a disguised recognition of Tuyuhun's aesthetic point of view, and it is a kind of recognition of Tuyuhun's questions.
The traditional Tuyuhun tribes that were originally somewhat resistant to the rule of the Tang Dynasty have softened a lot.
Li was also puzzled by this situation, but he still passed the complete information back.
Li Mingda said that I was very confused after hearing this kind of news.
That's right
The so-called Snow White was also created on a whim by Li Mingda.
When he saw Tuyuhun's certificate of surrender and read Li's battle report, the words "Murong Xue" were printed in Li Mingda's mind.
In particular, he advocated surrender to the Tang Dynasty. He sent troops on the battlefield to ambush the Turks who wanted to grab a wave and leave, and directly killed the leader of this group of Turks, Baltu, and then killed the remaining Turks.
Erwuzi served it in one pot, which saved Datang a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, it would take at least three to five years for the Tang Dynasty to capture Baltu after he escaped, and the amount of money, manpower and material resources consumed would not be small. If calculated carefully, it might be enough to defeat Goguryeo.
You have to know how difficult it is to defeat a nomadic tribe that has hatred for you. The other party is like a hungry wolf cruising around you. It is normal for him to bite a piece of your flesh when you are not around. If you want to kill him, you need to not only
Time also requires opportunities.
Originally, Li Shimin wanted to give Murong Xue a princess, but Li Mingda directly opposed the opinions of everyone (acting like a baby and acting cute) and gave him a princess.
Naturally, Li Mingda's good intentions were also brought to Tyuhun by Tyuhun's envoys. In response to Li Mingda's goodwill, the tribes loyal to Murong Xue increased their friendship towards Li Mingda by 50.
After surrendering, he would naturally come to Datang. Li Mingda and Murong Xue were both looking forward to meeting him.
