Jia Ke sat in the palace, looking into the distance with dull eyes, and then murmured to himself: "We Han people have slowly become soft because of the marriage. In the face of external threats, we don't want to fight to the death."
, but thinking about using a woman’s body in exchange for short-term peace.”
"I have only heard that after a defeat, women are given to the victorious side. I have never heard that women are sent to the arms of the enemy after victory. This is not to seek peace at all, but to insult the Great Yan Dynasty.
.”
Fan Kang, who was kneeling below, turned even redder as he listened to Jia Ke's words. At the same time, Jia Ke's words also had a huge impact on his soul.
Fan Kang has always thought about issues with the thinking of ancient people, and has never thought that marriage is a shame for a nation.
After a long while, Jia Ke came back to his senses, and then said to Fan Kang below: "Go and tell the Tatar envoy that the Central Plains dynasty will never marry a princess into the wilderness. Let him die."
If he really wants to seek peace, he must show his true sincerity."
Fan Kang only knew that this time he had handled things a bit not to Jia Ke's liking, so he did not dare to refute and knelt there and agreed repeatedly.
Jia Ke was not in the mood to continue talking to Fan Kang and asked him to step back.
After Fan Kang left, Jia Ke let out a sigh of relief and left the Yangxin Hall in a depressed mood.
Li Gui, who was following Jia Ke, heard that Jia Ke was in a bad mood, so he wanted to find something to make Jia Ke happy.
So he came to Jia Ke and whispered: "Master, we have a new group of maids in the palace, and some of them are the most beautiful women in the world. Master, why don't you go and take a look."
Jia Ke is not in the mood to look at beauties now, "If you're not in the mood now, go to Chuncao."
As soon as Jia Ke finished his instructions, Luan Jia naturally went straight to Yanxi Palace where Chun Cao lived.
This Yanxi Palace is not as prosperous and lively as what is said on TV now.
Yanxi Palace is located in the southeast corner of the East Sixth Palace in the imperial palace. It can be said to be a very remote location. A group of concubines who live here are not favored.
At that time, Chuncao, who was enthroned as the imperial concubine, thought that her status was humble, she had not been pregnant all year round, and her color was not very beautiful. Naturally, she could not compare with those young, beautiful and noble women, so she asked Jia Ke for permission to live in Yanxi Palace.
.
Since Chun Cao settled in Yanxi Palace, she has been very quiet and lived her own life.
And since Chuncao was the first to serve Jia Ke and the Queen Mother Zhou, she still had some dignity in front of them.
Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to neglect the spring grass, and all the utensils were prepared very carefully.
Therefore, Chun Cao spent these years quietly living in the Yanxi Palace alone. Although Jia Ke rarely spent the night in the Yanxi Palace, she did not complain at all.
This time Jia Ke was troubled and didn't want to go around those chattering beauties, so he thought of this quiet spring grass and wanted to be quiet and quiet here.
When Jia Ke and others arrived at Yanxi Palace, Chuncao and others greeted him at the door.
Jia Ke got off the carriage, held the spring grass, and entered the main hall of Yanxi Palace together.
After everyone sat down, Chun Cao made tea for him personally and delivered it to him just like he did when he served Jia Ke.
"Uncle, I see that you don't look well today. Is there something that doesn't go well with you?"
Jia Ke has been emperor for some years, but Chuncao still has the habit of calling Jia Ke "Uncle" as he did back then.
As for the title of Spring Grass, Jia Ke tolerated it magnanimously.
"There's nothing to do. I'm just upset and wanted to come to your place for some peace and quiet."
After Jia Ke finished saying this, he closed his eyes tiredly and leaned his head on the throne, feeling listless.
Chun Cao stood up when he saw it, came behind Jia Ke, and massaged his temples with both hands.
Not to mention that Jia Ke is hiding here, and there are no secrets in the palace at all.
The Tatars came to the Central Plains to make peace and invited the princess to marry into the grassland. It didn't take long for this matter to cause a fuss in the palace.
These gossips soon reached the ears of Jia Tanchun's maid, Shishu. After hearing the news, Shishu was frightened to death.
You know, since ancient times, few women who married on the grasslands have a good ending. Coupled with the chaos of human relations in the grasslands, which Central Plains woman can endure it?
Therefore, the servant did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came to Jia Tanchun's palace. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jia Tanchun holding a book, shaking his head, and looking at it enthusiastically.
The waiter hurriedly took a few steps forward, grabbed the book, and pulled it away at once.
This moment made Jia Tanchun jump. When she looked up, she saw Shi Shu standing there with an anxious face.
"What's going on? You're so anxious."
"Princess, are you still in the mood to read there? Don't you know what's going on outside?"
"What's wrong? Is the sky falling?"
"Okay, my princess. Isn't the sky just falling?"
The servant then told Jia Tanchun about the rumors he had heard.
After hearing this, Jia Tanchun's eyes dimmed, and she pondered in her heart. She was the only princess of the right age in the palace. Although there was also Jia Xichun, she was also a princess, but for one thing, she was still young. What was the difference between the two?
Jia Ke is one floor away.
After all, if Jia Ke wanted to get married, he would be the only one going to the grassland.
When Jia Tanchun thought about traveling far away, he felt panicked all the time. At the same time, he also felt sorry for himself about his fate.
When Shishu saw Jia Tanchun still in a daze after arriving, he was a little worried for her.
"Princess, we can't just let it go. In ancient times, wasn't there someone who randomly found a clan member and made her a princess and then married her off? Let's go and beg the emperor. Maybe we don't have to go to the grassland."
When Jia Tanchun heard what the servant said, his eyes became more determined, "Whose girl is not the heart of my parents? How can other people be separated because of me? Besides, I am the princess of the Huang family.
If I don’t go, who will?”
After listening to Jia Tanchun's words, the servant was silent and speechless.
In ancient times, personal maids and their own girls could be said to be a community of interests. If Jia Yuan Chun married far away from the grassland, then the servant girl would not be immune.
As an eldest maid, she has been pampered and pampered all these years. Now she thought about going to that barren and barren place, which made her heart tremble. So she turned around in her mind for a few times and came up with a way to get Jia Tanchun to push the matter away.
.
"Princess, when we get to the grassland, nothing will happen. Do you really trust Young Master Huan?"
As soon as Jia Tanchun heard that he mentioned Jia Huan, Jia Tanchun, who had not shed any tears after being hit so hard just now, immediately became wet with tears.
Because now Jia Huan is not the bastard in Dream of Red Mansions who only knows about eating, drinking and having fun, and has no etiquette at all.
Now Jia Huan is well-educated and motivated, and Jia Huan's first teacher was Jia Tanchun. The two siblings have been together since childhood. Jia Tanchun's affection for Jia Huan has exceeded that of others.
Thinking of leaving the Central Plains, the only person Jia Tanchun couldn't worry about now was Jia Huan.
The servant looked at Jia Tanchun's tears and knew that it was still relevant. He hurriedly advised Jia Tanchun and said: "Princess, before the emperor has made a decision, let's go and ask for help. Maybe for the sake of brother and sister, the emperor
Come on, let's get rid of this matter. If we don't say anything, the emperor will think that we are willing."
When Jia Tanchun heard this, he couldn't bear to leave Jia Huan, so he stood up and said, "In that case, let's just fight. Now you go and find out where the emperor rests in the palace?"
When the secretary heard Jia Yuanchun's instructions, his face turned pale with fright. It was a taboo to spy on the emperor's whereabouts in the palace. Once he was discovered, he would be killed immediately without asking the reason.
After Jia Tanchun finished speaking, he immediately reacted, and then he laughed first, "I am also anxious and confused. If I really let you do this, I'm afraid neither of us can get over it."
Jia Tanchun sat there and thought for a while, and then she came up with an idea. She left the palace with her maid servant and went straight to the Cining Palace of Empress Dowager Zhou.
When they arrived at Cining Palace, they ordered the eunuch to go in and report that Jia Tanchun wanted to see him.
When the Empress Dowager Zhou in Cining Palace heard that it was Jia Tanchun who wanted to see her, she immediately ordered her to be brought in.
The relationship between Queen Mother Zhou and Jia Tanchun is better than that of other girls.
Just because when he was still in the Jia Mansion, Jia Tanchun often went to Aunt Zhao because he wanted to teach Jia Huan.
Because Aunt Zhao and Empress Dowager Zhou lived very close to each other, Jia Tanchun occasionally went over to pay her respects.
Jia Tanchun Jingning Palace, when he saw the Queen Mother Zhou sitting in the middle, his face immediately burst into tears. He took a few steps forward and threw himself in front of the Queen Mother Zhou's legs, bursting into tears.
When Queen Mother Zhou saw this, she quickly got up and picked up Jia Tanchun herself and asked her to sit on the bed with her.
"What's going on? Has someone in the palace treated you lightly? If you tell me this, see how I deal with them."
Jia Tanchun shook his head while sobbing, and finally suppressed his sadness and said to the Queen Mother Zhou: "If I go back to the Queen Mother Zhou, it's just because I will marry far away from the grassland soon. I have always regarded the Queen Mother as my biological mother, and now
I feel sad to have to leave."
When Queen Mother Zhou heard this, she immediately raised her eyes and said, "What's going on? Why didn't I hear about it?"
As soon as Empress Dowager Zhou finished asking, her personal maid Xia Mai came over.
This Xia Mai was just as interested in gossip as she was in the Jia family. She had already found out that the Tatars came to invite and ask to marry a princess to the grassland.
At this time, Xia Mai whispered in the ear of Queen Mother Zhou: "Queen Mother, it seems that the Tatars have come to seek peace, and the emperor is planning to marry a princess to the Tatar Khan."
Empress Dowager Zhou immediately understood the reason. Jia Ke had no daughters now. He had two younger sisters, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun. Not to mention Jia Xichun, he was very young and only Jia Tanchun could get married.
