"Mr. Xueyang's mother is a saint from southern Xinjiang?" In the study room of the Regent's Palace, Xie Yan was a little surprised after hearing Luo Jinyan's words.
It's not that the people under the Regent's Palace don't pay too much attention to the news in Southern Xinjiang, but the last generation of saints in Southern Xinjiang happened almost a hundred years ago, and Xie Yan didn't even consider that there would be a saint in Southern Xinjiang.
Naturally, I never thought that the Xiao family, a prominent family in the Central Plains, would have anything to do with Southern Xinjiang.
"Saintess of Southern Xinjiang? What does she do?" Luo Junyao was more curious about this. Saintess or something... sounds like a character that only appears in novels.
In addition, places like Southern Xinjiang have their own mysterious aura, which makes people even more curious.
Luo Jinyan glanced at his sister and explained: "More than a hundred years ago, several co-lords briefly appeared in Southern Xinjiang. But it was only in name than in reality. After all, most of the tribes in Southern Xinjiang have been autonomous for thousands of years.
status. Therefore, this co-leader was actually very reluctant. Later, he negotiated with several of the most powerful tribes and introduced a saint. In general, the co-leader at that time...that is, the leader of the alliance was in charge of major external and military affairs.
, the saint maiden is in charge of religious beliefs. People in southern Xinjiang generally believe in the God of Spring, so they say that the saint maiden is the incarnation of the spring god in the world. As for people's livelihood and economic affairs, it is still up to the clan leaders of each ethnic group to take care of themselves."
"That's right." Luo Junyao said, "Then this saint has no real power. Why does Khenpo La pay so much attention to her?"
Luo Jinyan snorted softly and said: "The people of Southern Xinjiang believe in gods beyond your imagination. When the saint's reputation was at its peak, it could even surpass that of the co-lord of Southern Xinjiang at that time. It was precisely because of this that the later formation of Southern Xinjiang came to be.
It’s a messy situation again. At that time, the leader of the alliance and the saint in Southern Xinjiang were not from the same tribe, so they would naturally have contradictory positions on many things. However, in fact, if they were from the same tribe, it might not be a good thing."
Luo Junyao understood, "Other tribes may join forces to attack them. After all, no one wants to really surrender to others. Does Khenbura want to re-establish a saint? Does he want to become the new co-owner of southern Xinjiang?"
Luo Jinyan said: "If we don't rule out this possibility, what does the prince think?"
Xie Yan pondered for a moment and said: "The ancient river tribe in southern Xinjiang has grown in strength in recent years. As the eldest son whom the clan leader values the most, it is not surprising that Khenbu La has the idea of establishing achievements that have never been achieved before."
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said: "Achievements that no one has achieved before? Does he still want to truly unify southern Xinjiang?"
Xie Yan said: "If he really has this intention, we don't have to worry about Southern Xinjiang for the time being."
"Indeed." Luo Jinyan nodded in agreement.
Luo Junyao blinked and stretched out his hand to pull Xie Yan's sleeve. Xie Yan smiled at her and explained: "Although the Furukawa tribe is powerful, it is not yet to the point where it can cover the sky with one hand. If he wants to
If we want to unify the various tribes in southern Xinjiang, we must not dare to provoke the imperial court now. Not only do we not dare, we will even take the initiative to bow to the imperial court in exchange for the imperial court’s tolerance for the expansion of the Furukawa tribe’s power.”
The Dasheng court does not directly rule Southern Xinjiang, but since Southern Xinjiang has been incorporated into Dasheng territory, it will never let it go.
It is naturally best for the tribes in Southern Xinjiang to live in peace, and the court will not care about the occasional small troubles. But if there is any big trouble, or the leader of the tribes in Southern Xinjiang writes a letter asking the court for help, the court will still have to step in to deal with it.
Luo Jun said: "Isn't this the danger of raising tigers? When the Furukawa tribe unifies southern Xinjiang, will they still surrender to Dasheng?"
Xie Yan nodded and said: "That is true, but the Furukawa tribe is not the only one in Southern Xinjiang who has rebellious intentions."
Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while, then said: "Let them kill each other?"
Xie Yan smiled and said nothing, raised his hand and threw the jade pendant back to Luo Jinyan and said: "As long as Khenpo Laza does not act recklessly, if he wants to leave, let him go."
Luo Jinyan raised his hand to take the jade pendant in his hand and asked, "What should the Xiao family do with it?"
Xie Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment and said: "Don't let Xiao Hong really hurt anyone. First let someone investigate what happened to the Xiao family back then. Then I will talk to Xiao Chen personally."
"Xiao Chen?" Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Chen is not the head of the Xiao family yet."
Xie Yan said: "But he is the future head of the Xiao family. There is nothing to say about the current Xiao family. If it is true as Khenbura said, I guess Mr. Xueyang knows his life experience."
Therefore, the Xiao family voluntarily withdrew from the court, and Mr. Xueyang would rather teach and train his own students than allow his son to become an official. I am afraid this was also intentional.
The current head of the Xiao family cannot be said to have anything bad, but there is indeed nothing outstanding about him. It is obviously used as an excuse. He only needs to leave the safety of the Xiao family in Xiao Chan's hands, and he will be considered qualified.
The ability of these aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years to cultivate heirs is sometimes more admirable than the royal family's ability to cultivate future emperors. They do not require the family head to have any amazing talents and abilities, and they will even train them according to the future decades after a certain period.
situation and cultivate a family leader suitable for that period.
Therefore, some of these family heads are brilliant, some have mediocre qualifications, and some are even wild and ridiculous, but these families have been able to exist beyond the time of the dynasty.
Luo Jinyan somewhat understood what Xie Yan meant, "Your Highness still wants to reuse Xiao Chen?"
Xie Yan looked at Luo Jinyan with deep eyes and said: "The Xiao family is from Dasheng."
Luo Jinyan was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "I understand."
After sending Luo Jinyan away, Luo Junyao still couldn't recover. Xie Yan took her into his arms and whispered: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Luo Junyao sighed and said, "I just didn't expect that there would be such unknown things in the Xiao family. The people in the Xiao family don't look like they have foreign blood at all."
Xie Yan said: "If what Khenpo La said is true, the saintess of Southern Xinjiang could disguise herself as a daughter of a noble family and marry into the Xiao family. It can be seen that her appearance should not be much different from that of the people in the Central Plains. Various ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang live together, and there are many among them.
Shaoben is a Central Plains person who fled there in ancient times. What’s more, you may not be able to believe everything Khenbura says.”
Luo Junyao turned to look at him in surprise, "Can't you believe it all? Then you still ask the eldest brother to let him go?"
Xie Yan said: "I had no intention of keeping him in the first place. After all, he is the heir of the Furukawa tribe. As long as he does not commit crimes in the Central Plains, what is the point of keeping him? The remaining sons of the chief of the Furukawa tribe are weaker than Khenbura in strength and ambition.
It’s better to put him back.”
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Do you also hope that there will be chaos in southern Xinjiang?"
Xie Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Southern Xinjiang has been surrendered to the Central Plains for hundreds of years. After two dynasties, they still often feel rebellious. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty declines, they will be restless. I think... it can be solved once and for all.
good."
Luo Junyao was not very interested in such national affairs, and he thought he was no better than Xie Yan, so he nodded and said: "No matter what you do, I will support you."
Xie Yan lowered his head and placed a kiss on her eyebrows, "With such a good wife, what more could a husband ask for?"
Luo Junyao covered her forehead and blushed for a moment. Even though she was shy, she knew that she was definitely not a virtuous wife in the eyes of the world.
Seeing her like this, Xie Yan couldn't help but smile.
He hugged her into his arms again, lowered his head against her neck and laughed softly.
