Feelings of Heaven and Earth(51)

It hurts, it hurts! It hurts so much. A sworn bond is a sworn bond, not just a row, one by one, just like stupid people.

The fourth master's expression made Tongtong look at him, "Take some more painkillers?"

I still have to take medicine, and there are no ready-made pills to take.

Tongtong looked at him like that: "Then... forget it? Does it hurt like this?"

Get a painkiller shot!

Tongtong: "..." It just looks like a hero, and it doesn't hurt at all. That's what I mean. She gave him a shot and looked at him sideways: "In the Qing Dynasty, it is illegal to have a sworn brotherhood."

Nonsense! It is illegal for more than ten people to form a sworn brotherhood. In fact, it is illegal for so many people to join together in the name of sworn friendship. They can run rampant in the countryside or fight against the government. It is an extremely unstable social factor. Can't it be allowed?

Tongtong: "..." Okay, you are right! What she is concerned about now is, "You and Yelu Bei are both injured, so you won't participate in the enthronement ceremony?"

If someone doesn’t invite you, then you won’t attend. If someone invites you, I will be the guest of honor when you attend. I’m not the eldest prince, so why are people paying attention to me? Besides, the sleeves of the gown are so wide that they can’t cover your hands.

?

As for Yelu Bei, in his condition, it would not be surprising if he had any injuries on his body, and no one would ask without the foresight.

In fact, they invited and sent an invitation letter to invite the Dachen royal family to attend the firewood ceremony. What is the firewood ceremony? It is to pile a lot of firewood in the altar, and then the emperor accepts the jade book from the ministers.

It means that everyone will support you as Khan, and then light the firewood to complain to heaven.

It is different from the etiquette of the Central Plains, but there are similarities, that is, respecting and fearing heaven.

Abaoji suddenly passed away, and Shu Luping killed so many heroes. What happened to Daliao? Nothing happened! Everything was in order. What happened if the prince didn't take the throne? Nothing happened! No one resisted.

It can be seen how much prestige Shulu Ping has in the hearts of the tribes. After returning, the eldest prince became worried: "What is Yelu Deguang's attitude towards Da Chen?" The king's attitude determines the subsequent relationship between the two countries.

.

The fourth master said, "We can't just sit back and wait for death, and we can't let the other party lead us around. First, send a statement, just saying what we want to do in Daliao, what we know, send the credentials, and see how the other party responds."

Yes! This is very important. If you can't come here, you are really witnessing other people's affairs. We can't achieve any purpose, so why come here?

It's cool outside, so let's discuss it outside.

Lin Yutong said: "Let's not mention the sensitive ones. We must first get in touch and understand Yelu Deguang." For himself and Fourth Master, what was recorded in the book was one-sided and not comprehensive. History has taken a turn.

, many things will also change. It is impossible to judge based on what is in memory. And for other people, what they know from other people's mouths cannot be easily believed unless they deal with it personally.

The eldest prince nodded, as it should be: "What's the specifics?"

"Firstly, the fourth princess and I wanted to visit the Empress Dowager; secondly, I saw Buddhist beads hanging on the emperor's hand, which shows that he himself believes in Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist temples in Daliao. The fourth princess and I

I want to go to worship the Buddha accompanied by the female members of the Daliao royal family; thirdly, the Khitan people believe in shamans, so the fourth princess and I will go to the temple to worship the shaman god." Tongtong said, and glanced at the fourth princess: "Is it possible?

"

The fourth princess nodded, "It's feasible."

Master Wan glanced at the princess in surprise, called the translator over, and wrote these things down. In fact, he never thought that it was useful to bring the princess and the princess here. But Taizu was in some

If you insist on it, there is no harm in taking it with you. But the princess's suggestion... really found a suitable position for her and the fourth princess. Aren't these things important? No! This is very important.

The eldest prince looked at the fourth master again: "Where is Shiro? What kind of contact do you think is appropriate?"

"First, visit the city walls where the Han people gathered; second, see the farming centered on the city walls; third, go to the outskirts of Beijing to see their livestock."

Appropriate! This is not too much to ask, because the things are placed there and can be seen by any spy, and it is not a secret.

This is a mutual exchange. If we go back to Dachen, the Liao Kingdom can also make their demands!

After writing it down, the eldest prince looked at Han Siyuan again: "What do you think?"

Han Siyuan said: "Actually, you don't have to run out. It's also good to write poems, write, draw pictures and comment on each other together! Or, race horses and herd sheep together at the racecourse. Isn't that right?

No? It’s just that this time it happened to coincide with someone else’s funeral. If there are many taboos about someone else’s funeral, then use it next time.” Contact, why isn’t it contact?

You can remember this and forget it this time!

The next day, this thing was placed in front of Yelu Deguang.

In the imperial study room, he sat at the head of the throne, the Queen Mother sat at the side, and several ministers sat in turn.

Yelu Deguang handed over what he had in his hand and asked everyone to circulate it.

"Just a few little babies!" Yelu Lihu said directly: "Your Majesty called me here for this matter? It's too much to make a fuss."

Han Yanhui stood up and held up his hands, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this is by no means a trivial matter. We and Da Chen have continued to use troops, and there have been frictions from time to time, but we have always won and lost. We have never made any progress so far. Now, Da Chen is in peace, and we have lost

It is a good opportunity to make peace with Da Chen, which will be of great benefit to us. Furthermore, the Bohai Kingdom has been decided for the first time, so we should deal with side affairs more carefully."

The implication is, don't let King Dongdan grow bigger and compete with the imperial court.

Yelu Deguang nodded slowly and looked at Shuluping: "What does mother think?"

Shu Luping smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, so why not accept it."

"Listen to mother, so why not accept it." Yelu Deguang said, looking at Han Yanhui and Yelu Tulubu, "I have just ascended the throne, and it is time for me to go out to see the farm work. You can accompany me."

yes!

Shu Luping asked: "We should hurry up to confer the queen's title."

"Just Xiao Wen! You can then issue a decree to confer Xiao Wen as empress."

Xiao Wen? Still the daughter of the Xiao family.

The fourth princess asked Lu Qi to find out who Xiao Wen was.

Lu Qi had already made inquiries, and he said that it was not a matter of urgency, "The royal family of the Daliao Dynasty often married by blood relatives. Now the Queen Mother of the Liao Dynasty Shulu Ping, her mother's surname is Yelu, and she is the aunt of the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty."

The fourth princess understood, "You said Yelu Abaoji and Shuluping were cousins ​​and got married."

Yes! "The Queen Mother's mother first married Mr. Bali Xieli and gave birth to two sons, one named Xiao Dilu and the other named Xiao Shilu. Later she remarried Yue Wan and gave birth to the Queen Mother."

Well! What then?

"Yelu Abaoji and Shuluping had a daughter named Yelu Zhigu. She was a shaman goddess since she was a child, and later married Xiao Shilu..."

Wait! You said that Shuluping’s daughter married Shuluping’s half-brother?

Yes! "Princess Yelvzhigu and Xiao Shilu gave birth to a daughter, Xiao Wen." Lu Qi said in a low voice, "You still remember what Mr. Wan said before, after the rebellion of the brothers, Shuluping was bloodbathed

A tribe?"

Remember! What happened?

"Xiao Shilu and Princess Zhigu participated in the rebellion with Yelu Abaoji's brothers. Later, Xiao Shilu was executed, and Princess Zhigu... was said to have died of illness, but the younger one had been with several elderly women these past two days.

People often chatted, and according to them, Princess Zhigu committed suicide by taking poison after repenting. So Xiao Wen became an orphan and was taken to his side by Shu Luping. After pitying Xiao Wen for committing crimes, he had no one to rely on, so he

Marry her to Yelu Deguang and make her your concubine."

Marrying your granddaughter to your son? This is another marriage between a niece and her uncle.

The fourth princess is a bit unable to adapt psychologically. She knows that this is other people's customs, but psychologically, it is still difficult to accept it.

Lu Qi whispered: "Yelu Deguang loves Xiao Wen very much. Whenever he goes hunting, he will take Xiao Wen with him."

In terms of age, Xiao Wen is still young, and she is her niece, so she must be very fond of her. However, "the difference in age means that Yelv Deguang has no heirs so far?"

Yes! It is said that there was a palace official named Xiao, but he was childless.

Lu Qi said, "The princess must not behave strangely. This is the case with clan intermarriage. In Khitan, such marriages are not uncommon. They are determined by world customs."

I know this! It's just that I feel awkward. She asked, "Since the Yelu family and the Xiao family have mutual marriages, it won't work to marry between Da and Chen."

Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, "In the grassland tribes, men are not limited to marrying only one wife. There are no marriageable women in the royal family, but there is no shortage of daughters a few houses away." You can marry or marry.

The fourth princess laughed twice. If Da Chen marries a daughter, it can only be one of his wives; if Da Chen marries a daughter-in-law, the daughters he marries back will be the daughters of the rebel families of the "Rebellion of the Brothers".

She waved her hand, "I understand! If you ask again, how old is Xiao Wen this year? I have to choose a few gifts."

Lu Qi agreed and withdrew.

The fourth princess came to Tongtong to complain about this matter again, "Who would have thought that in time for this, there would be a younger queen."

Tongtong calculated her age, "Princess Zhigu is older than Yelv Deguang, but younger than Yelv Deguang. Yelv Deguang is twenty-six and Yelv Deguang is twenty-four. If Princess Zhigu is still alive, she will only be twenty-five this year. Brothers."

The rebellion happened almost ten years ago. At that time, Princess Zhigu was only about fifteen years old. Even if she gave birth to a child at the age of thirteen, the queen was only twelve years old. According to the preferences of girls between the ages of ten and twelve,

Get ready."

Sure enough, the queen they saw was a petite and exquisite little girl in her early ten years. She was sitting on the bed, blinking her eyes innocently, and swaying on her feet involuntarily.

When I saw the fourth princess and Tongtong, I couldn't help but look at them.

During the banquet, he even whispered: "I like the clothes you are wearing."

Tongtong blinked at her, "When I return to Dachen, I will ask people to send you clothes every season. Whatever is popular in Dachen, I will give you what is popular. You don't need to wear it outside, you can wear it yourself in the palace."

I also like clothes like yours..."

"Then I'll ask someone to deliver it to you." Xiao Wen answered immediately, looking very happy, "Can I also go to Dachen to play in the future?"

Tongtong shook his head, "I don't know! But if you can go, I will take you there. There are also many Buddhist and Taoist temples in Dachen."

OK! OK.
