Outside the tent, the cold wind howled on the Jinlianchuan grassland, and the weather became a bit colder.
Cow dung was burning on the stove in the tent, and milk tea was boiling in the pot. The aroma of tea overflowed.
Tu Li opened the tent and came in. He glanced around the tent first and found no one he wanted to see. He smiled and saluted Huaiyu, "Did your husband sleep well last night?"
"Is she serving you with all your heart?"
Holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, Huaiyu said helplessly to Tuli, "I have expressed my heart and soul to the prince, but the prince harmed me like this. Why is this?"
"Based on our grassland tradition, I treat your husband as my most respected guest. How can I say it is harmful?"
Huaiyu frowned and sighed, "Princess Huainan is your wife. If you send her to my tent in the middle of the night, aren't you doing me harm?"
The woman last night was thought to be an ordinary maid arranged by Tuli, or at most the daughter of a small chief of a Turkic tribe. Who would have expected that this guy was so generous and sent Princess Huainan here.
"Didn't she satisfy my husband?"
"Who does the prince think I am?"
This is really hard to guard against. Wu Huaiyu is also a cautious person, but he did not expect Tuli to play this trick with him. Although Princess Huainan is not Yang Guang's biological daughter, she is also the daughter of the clan. Princess Huainan's father is Sui Dynasty King Yang Qing, a
A very capable person but also very fickle.
Yang Qing's father, Yang Hong, was the cousin of Emperor Wen Yang Jian. He had great military exploits and was worshiped as the King of Hejian. During the reign of Emperor Yang, he was granted the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and after his death, he was granted the title of King of Xi. Yang Qing inherited his father's title, and during his reign, Yang Guangmao was responsible for the princes and ministers of Emperor Wen's dynasty.
He vigorously suppressed him and many princes were abolished or even exiled. Yang Qing was cautious and wise in protecting himself. Not only did his title remain unchanged, he was even highly appreciated by Yang Guang. He became the governor of Xingyang and his political achievements were outstanding. Later, Yang Guang also named his daughter the Princess of Huainan.
, bestowing sudden benefits on marriage.
Later, in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mi besieged Xingyang for more than a year, and Yang Qing defended it like an iron barrel. Later, Yang Guangjiang was killed, and Yang Qing surrendered to Li Mi, and changed his surname to his great-grandmother's surname Guo.
Celebrate.
But after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Guo Qing immediately returned to Luoyang and changed his name to Yang Qing. The king of Yue proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of Yuan Huangtai.
.
After Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor and changed the title of Yang Qing to the title of Duke of Xi, this guy changed his surname to Guo Qing.
Wang Shichong also liked this guy very much, and even specially married his brother's daughter to him, and appointed him as the governor of Xingzhou. Later, Li Shimin besieged Luoyang, and Guo Qing immediately went to Li Shimin again. Wang refused and wanted him to send her back to Luoyang.
, Guo Qing ignored him, and Wang had no choice but to commit suicide. After he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, his mother Yuan still stayed in Luoyang. Wang Shichong was so angry that he also killed his old and blind mother.
Guo Qing surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and changed his surname back to Yang. Li Yuan named him the governor of Yizhou and the Duke of Xi.
Wei Zheng once publicly commented on Yang Qing, saying that he was determined to live a harsh life.
He is very harsh, turning his sect into an enemy, and abandoning his loving mother like a relic. However, it is also said that he has great achievements in governance and has two or three virtues.
Yang Qing's grandfather, Yang Yuansun, whose father passed away very early, became an orphan since he was a child. He grew up with his mother Guo in his uncle's house. Later, Yang Zhong and Yuwentai launched an army in Guanzhong. When Yang Yuansun was in Ye, he was afraid of being killed by Gao Huan, so he pretended to be his maternal grandfather.
The family name was changed to Guo. After the death of Yang Yuansun, the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Qi Dynasty, and Yang Hongcai entered the customs and got along well with Yang Jian.
Yang Qing changed his surname to Guo, but he actually learned it from his grandfather.
Although Yang Qing is a fickle and harsh person, there is nothing he can do in troubled times, let alone his daughter being canonized as a princess and marrying the Turks. Yang Qing cannot stop this, and the Huainan Princess Yang herself cannot change it.
In fact, the Yang family is quite pitiful. They all say how great Yang Guang is, but a person who can torment everything from the country to the clan, and finally the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, what is there to brag about?
The Yang family came to the grassland as a princess of the Sui Dynasty. As a result, the Sui Dynasty fell, and her situation was naturally difficult. Moreover, her husband Tuli Khan soon became sworn brothers with Li Shimin, the king of Qin in Li Tang Dynasty who destroyed the Sui Dynasty.
In 2001, a Hejian princess was welcomed back from Chang'an.
Although she was not the emperor's daughter, her father was Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who was also very prominent in the Tang Dynasty.
Tuli had a princess from Hejian, so how could he be willing to pay more attention to the princess of Sui Dynasty.
Now she is asked to serve Wu Huaiyu, and she cannot refuse.
There are many customs on the grasslands that are different from those in the Central Plains, such as the system of step marriage where the father dies and the son succeeds. Princess Yicheng of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty married Qimin first and then married his three sons. Chuluo and Jieli
.Now she regards Tuli's son He Luo'u as her biological son. In the future, if Tuli dies, according to tradition, she will also marry He Luo'u.
Some herdsmen on the grassland would entertain distinguished guests with their wives and daughters. This was difficult for her to understand, but it did exist.
Tuli asked her to come, and she had to come.
Wu Huaiyu despises Tuli. Although Tuli's behavior is indeed their ancient tradition, this kid also has bad intentions.
Firstly, he made friends with Wu Huaiyu through this close relationship, and secondly, he must have expressed his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. He dedicated all the Sui Dynasty princesses and wives to Wu Huaiyu, so he must have nothing to do with the former Sui Dynasty.
Even though he said he should do as the Romans do, he still disliked this kind of behavior.
You said marriage with relatives is already quite unacceptable, let alone this act of giving away a wife.
Fortunately, although he was half drunk last night, he was not completely drunk.
In time, he recognized the Huainan princess who had changed into Turkic attire, quickly stopped her, and sent her to another tent for shelter.
It would be a big problem for this kind of thing to spread out, and even letting the censor know about the impeachment would be a serious crime.
Yang's identity is still very sensitive.
Even though Wu Huaiyu was a former prime minister and now the governor of Youzhou, he could not just sleep with a Sui Dynasty princess. She was still a Turkic princess.
Tu Li is really a bad guy. He did such unflattering things, including invading the Tang Dynasty with Jie Li, but secretly had an affair with Li Shimin several times. Not only did he withdraw his troops alone, but he even became brothers with different surnames. You said
Who in the right mind could do such a destructive thing?
"Nothing happened last night. The princess rested in her tent and asked the prince to take her back." Huaiyu said helplessly.
Tu Li chuckled and said, "I treat the governor as a Huainan princess in the most respectful way of hospitality in the Turkic tradition. This matter has already been known to everyone."
Huaiyu has a dark face.
Want to fall out.
This bitch was really intentional.
"What does the prince mean by this? I am helping the prince with good intentions, and this is how the prince repays me?"
"Isn't it enough for me to entertain you with my wife? Then I'll just give the princess to my husband. From now on, she will follow the king and become a concubine and a maidservant. It's all according to my husband's decision." Tuli, on the other hand, got stuck on the stick and tried to push the envelope.
"Actually, the princess is not used to living on the grassland. She has always wanted to return to the Central Plains. Now let her follow the Central Plains with her husband. It is considered to be her wish. Yesterday, I asked her to accompany Wu Xianggong. It was not forced on her, but
With her free consent."
I have seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones.
You are really willing to sacrifice anything for your own ambition.
"I can take the princess back to the Central Plains and send her back to the Duke of Xi, but there is no need for anything else."
"But what happened last night is already known to everyone in our area. Not only everyone in the Turks knows about it, but also the Xi, Qi, and Phen tribes. There is no way to keep this matter secret."
This old six.
Huaiyu had a headache. It seemed that he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He would probably be impeached by the imperial censor.
I really want to capture Tuli directly, then chop off his head, mobilize my troops to overrun the Turkic tents, and destroy them directly.
Looking at this madman, Wu Huaiyu even felt lucky. Fortunately, he only asked Princess Huainan to come last night and not Princess Hejian. Otherwise, he would have dared to sleep with Princess Hejian of Tang Dynasty and pro-Turkish people in Tuliya tent.
Really terrible.
The problem now is that it doesn't matter whether he slept with Princess Hejian or not. Tuli had already insisted that he slept with him and even let the news out early, so it was impossible to explain clearly.
Wu Huaiyu summoned Su Lie, Wei Xiaojie, Lu Chengye, Li Tudiji, Fuyu, Gaowei and others, as well as Tuli, He Luohu, Kedu, as well as the Khitan leader Daemohui and his son Da
Brother He Ku, the leader of the Khitan tribe Sun Aocao and others are all there.
Sun Aocao, like Tu Diji, surrendered to the Sui Dynasty very early. He was awarded the title of Jin Ziguanglu doctor, Wudechu, and Li Yuan awarded Sun Aocao Yunhui general, the general manager of Liaozhou. Compared with the Khitan led by Da Mo Hui
The main body is attached to the Turks. In fact, Sun Aocao has always been attached to the Central Plains, but they are also nominally under the management of the Dahe family.
"Princess Huainan please."
Wu Huaiyu invited Princess Yang of Huainan to
Princess Huainan put on a Han dress again, with a golden hairpin and an embroidered brocade robe covered with mink fur. She looked very graceful and luxurious, completely different from the poor woman in the cowhide tent under the dim light last night.
In fact, the Huainan Princess was still very young. At the end of the Daye, Shibi Khan asked the Sui Princess to be his wife for his eldest son Tuli. The Sui Dynasty named the daughter of the Sun King Yang Qing as the Huainan Princess and married the Turks.
After the princess left the fortress, Yang Guang was killed in Jiangdu. This year was also the year Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty and the first year of Wude.
After all, the princess has been in the grassland for twelve years.
He was only fourteen when he came here, and he is only twenty-six now.
The princess who has never given birth still looks very girly.
The wind and frost outside the Great Wall did not wither her, she is still strong.
The princess came in so proudly.
She looked directly at Wu Huaiyu, without even glancing at her husband Tuli.
Wu Huaiyu was a little embarrassed to be seen, but the situation was even more embarrassing last night. He coughed twice and looked away.
"The prince said that the princess has been away from the Central Plains for twelve years and misses her hometown, parents and relatives very much. The prince wants to entrust me to take the princess south to the Central Plains. I wonder if the princess is willing to go with me?"
The princess kept looking at Wu Huaiyu. She didn't sleep all night last night. Even after applying makeup in the morning, she still couldn't completely hide her haggard appearance, but she still maintained her arrogance.
Looking at Wu Huaiyu who avoided looking directly at her, she sighed in her heart, not knowing whether it was happiness or sadness, and turned towards Tuli Khan.
Tuli Khan smiled and said, "Princess, just follow Mr. Wu."
The words were so ambiguous that even Sun Aocao and Brother Daheku actually laughed.
It was obviously Tuli's intention to publicize the fact that the princess and the military minister slept in public last night, which caused an uproar and made them laugh.
