The couple were in a stalemate here. Princess An was not good at words and could not persuade him, but fortunately she was here. Even if he kept thinking about that person, he would still be thousands of miles away.
However, before leaving, King An said a sincere apology to her, "What I said on the carriage that day makes me feel like a jerk when I think about it now. Please forgive me. I will never doubt you like this again, but please also
Don't hurt yourself like this anymore, I always care about you, no matter how many bastard things I do, I have never had any intention of harming you."
After he finished speaking, he left.
Princess An felt sad for a long time and went back to lie down. She was thinking about Jingzhong, but she couldn't go back. Once she went back, her life would be as frightening as before. She had torn away this simple veil, and there was no way to be like that again.
I used to pretend like I didn't know anything.
The army returned to the dynasty, and after Su's disastrous defeat, the land was ceded. The Great Zhou Dynasty did not invade Su's territory. On the contrary, it supported the grandson of the original Xianbei Holy Emperor as emperor.
Hong Lie died in the battle, which was a tragic death for the whole family. Everyone except Young Master Hongye died.
The whereabouts of Hongye have been discovered. He entered southern Xinjiang and quickly gained support and support from northern and southern Xinjiang. It can be seen that he has been active in southern Xinjiang for a long time. This is his retreat.
It reminds people that the King of Southern Xinjiang was killed ten years ago and the chaos in Southern Xinjiang was also his masterpiece.
Of course, this is just conjecture and has no real evidence.
Southern Xinjiang was the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but it was located in the northwest, bordering the Northern Desert, and brought together people from the Northern Desert and Southern Xinjiang. In the past, Southern Xinjiang was always at odds with the imperial court, and was divided into two factions, the North and the South. Forty-five
Years ago, Emperor Xian began to send people to southern Xinjiang one after another, and elected a king of southern Xinjiang. Naturally, the king of southern Xinjiang would be loyal to the court. Therefore, the Northern Tang Dynasty was able to eliminate the division between the north and the south, unify the political power, and finally pacify southern Xinjiang.
It was just ten years ago that Southern Xinjiang launched a rebellion, killed the new king of Southern Xinjiang, and overthrew the rule of the Northern Tang Dynasty. As a result, Southern Xinjiang became chaotic and was re-divided into two factions, the North and the South.
The Northern faction is ruled by wizards and witches, who are especially at odds with the imperial court.
The Southern faction is much gentler, and the former King of Southern Xinjiang was also from the Southern faction, so they were more pro-court.
Both the southern and northern sects are good at the art of witchcraft. This is one of the reasons why the imperial court has always believed that southern Xinjiang is an internal invasion. Miasma, witchcraft, and sorcerers, these ancient and mysterious methods, worried Emperor Ming Yuan.
Because when troops were stationed, if they were not familiar with the terrain and encountered miasma, they would lose their troops. Therefore, I felt that it was not necessary to spend a lot of time, and it was not effective to fight with small things, which led to today's situation, and it was actually penetrated by the red leaves.
The area where the red leaves are located now should be the southern and northern areas, which are dominated by wizards and witches. However, one of the two witches is missing and the other is dead, so the power is in the hands of the wizards.
The Southern Sect is now like a basin of loose sand that has not coalesced. Only the two elders of the Southern Sect are struggling to prevent it from being swallowed up by northern Xinjiang.
However, now that the red leaves have gone to southern Xinjiang, I believe that within a year, northern Xinjiang will also become the target of red leaves.
This internal trouble will always become a serious concern of the Northern Tang Dynasty, if it is allowed to develop.
Fortunately, the external situation is now stable, and Emperor Ming Yuan can focus on targeting southern Xinjiang.
In order to boost morale, despite being poor, Emperor Ming Yuan generously gave a sum of money to reward the three armies. Those who had made meritorious service would all be rewarded, thus promoting a group of new generals.
The Ninth Prince Yu Wentian killed twenty-three enemies in his first battle, which astonished Emperor Ming Yuan. In addition to being granted the title of general, he was finally granted the title of prince, was conferred the title of Prince Shun, and was given another residence in his palace.
The residence given was the former residence of Prince Bao. He ordered people to repair it and add some furniture before he could move in.
When the imperial decree came down, Yu Wentian immediately went to tell the eighth prince.
The Eighth Prince hugged him happily and laughed and jumped. He also picked out a lot of treasures from his house and said they were going to be given to his ninth brother.
To others, those treasures were just junk, but Lao Jiu knew that to Brother Eight, they were precious treasures.
He has collected toys, sepak takraw balls, paintbrushes, picture albums he made by himself, and a wood carving of a lifelike tiger. He said that from now on the ninth brother will be as majestic as the tiger descending from the mountain.
Yu Wentian gave half of the five hundred taels of gold rewarded by Emperor Ming Yuan to the eighth prince. The eighth prince did not like gold and said that his mother had a lot of it.
But Yu Wentian said that this was the first reward he had earned and he wanted to share it with his brother, so the eighth prince accepted it and asked others to hide it in his treasure box.
Most of the people around the eighth prince were arranged by the queen, so when Yu Wentian came to find out about the eighth prince, he reported it to the queen.
The Queen still has a grudge against Yu Wentian. Although the truth about Luo Guibin's murder of her has been revealed, she has deliberately made things difficult for Luo Guibin's two children over the years. Now that Yu Wentian has grown up, it is inevitable that he will remember the old things. He had a grudge, so he was very guarded against Yu Wentian hurting the eighth prince.
She felt very uneasy. Although she was in the middle palace position, she had already offended the emperor, an unfavored queen, a demented son and a stupid son, and her mother's family did not support her. The queen really could not rest in peace.
So, after thinking again and again, she still asked someone to call Yu Wentian over.
Yuwentian was very afraid of the queen. In the past years, the queen's appearance meant disaster.
However, after practicing in the army for a period of time and going to the battlefield, he knew how to overcome the fear in his heart.
When he arrived at the middle palace, he strictly observed the etiquette and gave a grand salute to the queen.
The queen's attitude towards him was also much more polite. After all, she couldn't be the same as before after being granted the title of king.
As the queen mother, Yuwen Tian asked kindly about her life in the army, and Yu Wentian answered them one by one, neither humble nor arrogant.
He answered questions fluently and gracefully, but the queen felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, Yu Wentian wanted to hide when he saw her, like a little mouse in the gutter, with shrinking eyes.
Now, he was different. The young man standing in front of her was half a head taller than Lao Ba. He had wheat-colored skin, was young and handsome, and had a shining light. Even the dignity in this palace could not make him inferior.
That little mouse finally lived like a descendant of the royal family.
Only her eighth child will never grow up and will never be successful.
The queen suppressed the sadness in her heart and asked someone to bring five hundred taels of gold up and put it on the table. She said with a smile: "These golds were given to you by the emperor. It is not appropriate to give them to your starling. If you are criticized later, you It's better to take it back. Besides, your brother has never been short of money since he was a child. You are about to leave the palace and live in a mansion. It's better to have some money around than when you were in the palace."
Yu Wentian was startled for a moment, "Mother, this is the credit of my son, and I want to share it with my Eighth Brother."
The queen smiled and pressed her hands, "No need, it's rare for you to make meritorious deeds. Maybe this is the only time in your life. It's better to take it back yourself, lest someone say later that you, brother-in-law, have to covet your merits to get rewards."
