When autumn was cool, Xuanqing came on horseback and said in high spirits: "Brother Huang has allowed me to travel north for two months. I have packed my bags. Let's go together. www."
I was stunned, "You are traveling north, how can I follow you?"
He smiled: "I have always been alone and traveled incognito. Who knew that I was the prince? And the emperor brother, he has a new favorite, Mrs. Fu, so he has no time to pay attention to others. So I took A Jin and traveled with you.
How about going to Beijing?"
I hesitated and said, "But I am wearing Buddhist attire and still practicing."
Jin Xi laughed at the side and said: "It's boring for me to sit here in Lingyun Peak all day long, why not go and relax. Anyway, we live here alone, who knows if we are here anymore. I just need to change my Buddhist robes."
We still have a lot of clothes in the colors of the old year, wouldn’t it make us look like ordinary women if we put them on?”
Huanbi also said with a smile: "Miss, you can't live without someone to serve you. Why don't you take me with you?"
Ah Jin smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Miss Bi will serve the lady, and Ah Jin, I will serve the prince. The four of us go together, it's the most wonderful thing."
Jin Xi said gently: "Madam, let's go with Miss Huanbi. I'll just stay here to look after the house. It's time to go north to Beijing at this time, when the autumn scenery is picturesque."
Xuan Qing's eyes were full of smiles, "We have never traveled together, are you willing?"
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital was established in Yangjing for twelve years, also known as "Shangjing". It was about 300 miles away from the "Zhongjing" of Kyoto where Ziao City is now built. In the tenth year of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hehe from the north repeatedly invaded Shangjing.
In the worst case, the illustrious Jig Khan even led five thousand elite troops and marched straight into the "Yanming Pass" which was only 80 miles away from Beijing.
Yanming Pass borders the Xiling River to the west, the northern boundary of Yangjing to the south, and Zhixian Pass to the north, which is adjacent to the Luotieshan Plank Road. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Beyond Luotieshan, there are vast grasslands, Gobi deserts, and mountains.
Hehe's territory. Therefore, Yanming Pass was an important place for Hehe to send his troops to enter thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was also a pass like an iron lock barrier. Because the pass was located in a steep terrain, it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Looking up, it was almost as tall as the sky.
Even wild geese can hardly fly over it. Every late autumn, you can often hear flocks of wild geese circling around and moaning loudly, so it is called "Yanming Pass". However, although the singing of wild geese is very sad, the people around Yanming Pass are also very sad.
They are also suffering. The Hehe tribe has been stationed in the north all year round, living in pursuit of water and grass. The water and grass are plentiful during the year.
Burning, killing, and looting occurred on the mountainous border. The homes of the border residents were often destroyed, and they suffered from war and misery. The people's livelihood was miserable and it was unbearable to see.
In the tenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a severe drought. Thousands of miles of fertile water and grass in Hehe were all barren. Within ten days of autumn, the climate suddenly changed. The cold and heat dropped sharply. A few days later, heavy snow fell, with ice up to three feet high. Hehe wanted to seek national destiny and maintain the tribe.
Destined to do so, he used all his national strength to gather an army of 100,000 and march southward.
At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was also in the midst of a drought, not to mention that the successive wars had just subsided and the country was just about to recuperate. The country was very exhausted. It was inevitable that the food and grass at the military pass would be insufficient. There was also a heavy snowfall. No one among the officers guarding the pass expected the heavy snowfall.
Tens of thousands of illustrious iron cavalry rushed out from the enchanting eyes, as if they were falling from the sky. In an instant, everyone could only gape and look at each other. They were allowed to rush towards the south with their iron hooves.
If Yanming Pass is broken, the Shangjing will be broken like iron teeth at that time, and the mouthpiece will be exposed to the enemy. The splendid country that Taizu took more than ten years to conquer will fall into the hands of the barbarians, and people in the country will suddenly be panicked.
, some court officials even urged Taizu to retreat to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and divide the river with Hehe to rule, and managed to hold on to half of the country.
Fortunately at the critical moment, General Qi Buchi, regardless of his old age after half a lifetime of fighting in the battlefield, put on his armor again and went into battle. He rushed into the battle formation at the age of sixty and took the lead. He shot an arrow into the shoulder of Jige Khan, forcing him to
He fell off his horse, which wiped away the dejected spirit of the Zhou soldiers since He He's march south, and also made He He's morale seriously damaged and sluggish.
In November of the 10th year of Jianyuan, Marshal Zuo Dujian Abuli led his army to attack Yanming Pass again. Qi Buchi led his army to defend Yanming Pass and built a fortress on the right side of the pass, which was called "Mihe Heping" and placed on the terrain.
A pass was built at a strategic point, a second line of defense was set up, and the troops were ready. In December of the 10th year, Qi Bu Chi fought fiercely with the Hehe army for several days. In the end, because they were unable to do so, they retreated to the second line of defense. The Hehe soldiers wore heavy armor and
The iron hooks were connected, and the fish came forward. Qi Buchi and his brother Qi Butui fought to the death, using their powerful bows and crossbows to kill a large number of the Hehe army.
They attacked the left and right flanks of the Hehe army with knives and big axes. On the first night of the first month of the eleventh year, the Zhou army set fire to the Iron Mountain, stirred up war, sent out troops to counterattack, and sent generals Wang Xi and Wang Wu to attack the Hehe camp. The Hehe army
The rout continued, and the illustrious Marshal Abuli was killed in the battle. The injured Jig Khan led his troops to flee, and his old wounds recurred and died on the way. Qi did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation to expand the victory, and sent General Murong Zheng to pursue and kill
There were more than 10,000 enemies, and rivers of blood flowed. He also ordered Qi to not retreat, set up an ambush in the Hechi, the place where Hehe's army must pass when fleeing back home, and then attack Hehe's army. Hehe's army was forced to retreat to the capital, Zangjing.
Qi Buchi fought all his life with an iron-blooded loyalty, and finally won the title of marquis and prime minister in the sixty-sixth year of his battle at "Yanming Pass". He ranked first among the military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was "Dingxunhou", and Taizu ordered Danqing to paint wonderful strokes.
His portrait hangs in the "Yangyi Hall" of the Imperial Ancestral Temple in Shangjing, and is famous throughout history. Even in those days, if there was a naughty child near Luotieshan who cried incessantly, an adult would only need to coax him, "We are all here!" The child would have been too frightened to dare.
No more crying.
It's a pity that Qi Buchi died of exhaustion three months after being ennobled, with a smile on his face. Although Taizong used his wealth and glory to defuse military power, his descendants no longer had thousands of soldiers and horses in the Zhou Dynasty, but they were still rich and noble.
, the experience of being favored and treated favorably has lasted for hundreds of years. It was not until the Qianyuan period of this dynasty that the Qi clan gradually withered away, and the family gradually declined. However, the generals have accumulated power for hundreds of years, and their reputation is still prominent. And the descendants of Qi Buzi are now
The one in the palace is Duan Fei Qi Yuebin. This is why Qi Yuebin was raised in a deep palace since childhood, and why Xuan Ling must choose his concubine.
Several years after Qi Buchi's death, the news of his death was still tightly sealed by the Zhou court. After the battle at Yanming Pass, Hehe not only lost the marshal and tens of thousands of soldiers, but even the Great Khan died on the way. Hehe was afraid of Qi Buchi's remaining power.
, and his vitality was severely damaged, he did not dare to act rashly against the Zhou Dynasty for several years, and kept to himself. Soon, the successor of the illustrious Khan Yingge proposed peace to the Zhou Dynasty, and was willing to establish a "mutual market" with Luotieshan as the boundary, and exchange cattle and horses.
During the Great Zhou Dynasty, tea, silk, and rice grains each guarded their borders and never violated each other's borders.
After the death of Qi Buchi, the Zhou Dynasty actually had about five or so available troops. In addition, the loss of national power and people's livelihood in the battle of Yanming Pass could not be recovered in three to five years. I was eager to come to negotiate peace, so I agreed.
Hehe and Da Zhou formed a blood alliance in Hechi, which was known as the "Hechi Alliance" in history.
Dazhou and Hehe built steles in Shangjing and Zangjing respectively, and engraved the alliance text and the names of their allies on them to record their events. In the alliance text, the two sides affirmed the brotherhood of "we are one family" and agreed that from now on, "the country and the country will be the same."
", "Each should keep its own territory and not interfere with each other", "smoke and dust should not rise", "the countryside is safe". It also stipulated specific matters such as the routes for personnel exchanges between Dazhou and Hehe and the establishment of "mutual markets", and agreed to "be good at using money."
Silver, cattle and horses, skins, horse tails and other items, merchants sell fine satin, cloth, cauldrons and other items."
Fifty miles to the left and right of Luotieshan, there is a "mutual market", and a tea horse department is specially established. The responsibility of the tea horse department is: "to take charge of the benefits of tea for the benefit of the country; whenever the market is in the barbarians, lead the tea trade"
"." Thirteen horse markets were opened one after another, "horses are paid tribute once a year, for a period of two months."
However, in the 10th year of Jianyuan, Taizu still vividly remembered the scene of his illustrious troops coming to the city. In January of the twelfth year of Jianyuan, Taizu moved the capital to what is now Zhongjing, built "Ziao Ao City" to live in, and married the daughter of the clan, Maocheng Zongji, and granted her the title of Zhongjing.
"Princess Jinshan" married Yingge Khan and became the royal concubine. Over the past hundred years, although there were occasional minor conflicts on the border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Hehe, peace was preserved for a hundred years, and there was no more war.
At this moment, Xuanqing and I are traveling in Beijing hand in hand, dressed like a folk couple. I am wearing a pink clouds, brocade, lotus root silk robe, and a honey-colored brocade dress with large peony patterns and clusters of flowers. After all, it is a cool autumn weather. When I get up in the morning
Unable to bear the cold, Xuanqing casually put on a silver-embroidered blouse for me. I looked around in the mirror and couldn't help but smile, "What a happy color." Xuanqing in the mirror was also dressed in light cyan silver.
The silk-threaded Fu Ruyi brocade robe makes her appear taller and taller, refreshed and refreshed, like the spring moon shining on the willows.
I looked back at him and looked at him, the corners of my lips raised involuntarily, with a hint of affection, and said with a smile: "Why did you think of wearing this color?"
Xuan Qing put his hand on my shoulder, which compared my not-so-petite figure to that of a little bird, and said: "You are wearing pink, so I will choose turquoise to match you. The color is more lively."
Already."
Huanbi held the dressing box in her hand and stared at Xuanqing and me carefully. She suddenly turned her head to straighten her clothes and no longer looked at us. She just smiled lightly and said: "The young lady and the young master look like the newlyweds who went on a trip together on the occasion of Yan'er."
Couple."
I vaguely feel that Huanbi's smile is getting lighter now, always like the moon hidden behind the dark clouds. Even if there is a clear light falling, it is obscure and indifferent. She prefers to keep her head down, and her temperament becomes more submissive and forbearing.
.
Xuanqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned back to smile at her, "Is it really similar?"
Huanbi lowered her head and said in a soft voice: "Young master, if you think you are similar, then you will see that he is even more similar."
I smiled and poked Xuan Qing's arm. I turned red and chuckled, "I'm not ashamed to ask someone like this. Huanbi is making fun of you."
Xuan Qing showed a childish look and said softly: "I really think we are similar."
When I heard what he said, I was even more embarrassed to pay attention to him. I just took Huanbi's hand and asked, "I haven't dressed up like this for a long time, and I have forgotten what kind of bun the women in the folk wear."
Huanbi smiled slightly and said: "Since the young lady is dressing up as a newlywed so that she can travel with the prince, her hair must be gathered up and combed into a bun." As she said this, she skillfully gathered up my hair and put it into a bun.
Halfway through, she thought deeply, then she untied her hair into an ordinary banana bun, and picked out a red gold hairpin for me to insert. The hairpin was made of red gold, but it had a pair of pearls as big as thumbs, white, round, and shining.
The radiance makes people's faces shine more and more, just like the brilliance of pearls. Huanbi looked around for a moment, and then went to pick the pearl flowers. At this time, the pot of begonias under the window was blooming beautifully. The ordinary folk begonias are naturally not as good as those in the palace.
The inside is pure white, like snow and frost. The petals are mottled pink, scattered and overlapping, but still very delicate and charming. Xuanqing folded it and inserted it on my temples, looking at me with a smile and a longing gaze.
Huanbi seemed not to be seen, only a few plum blossoms with blue and emerald points were picked and buried in my hair, like a faint twinkle of spring heart.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and the pink color was so bright that it made people's faces look like spring dawn, as if infinite brightness and joy were overflowing from their skin. I had never seen myself like this. He and I
I stood side by side, and the patterns depicted on the bronze mirror were also very ordinary, including mandarin ducks playing in the water, wings connecting branches, and crude sword skills, but they could not hide the worldly happiness of flowers, a full moon, and the perfection of the world. I leaned on his shoulder, just blindly
Yingying smiled. I rarely wear pink. A color as bright and delicate as pink cloud always feels too tacky and makes me happy. However, wearing it now, I feel that even a worldly color like pink has infinite joy and infinite good in it.
It matched my mood at the moment. Just like the flowers of begonia on the temples, the petals were densely clustered and crowded together, and the whole heart was so soft and happy. So I simply chose a crimson handkerchief embroidered with begonia.
