Eight hundred and eighty-sixth chapter Khan wants to be a husband
Da Aijinli was at a loss for words and muttered as he argued: "We don't know anything about our Huihe ancestors, how can you know?"
Cen Shen crossed his arms and said: "You people don't know how to record the history of your ancestors, but we Han people have always had this tradition and recorded all your ins and outs. Not only that, our history has been recorded until the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. Discovered
There are many historical laws, one of which is that there will never be a ruler who will always be protected by God. If a monarch is immoral, he will lose the world, and there will be virtuous people in his place. No matter how glorious and great the empire created by their fathers is
, cannot withstand the baptism of time. Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, strengthened the Han Dynasty and defeated the Huns and dominated the sea, but haven't the dynasties they created become a thing of the past?"
Gel Khan's eyes sparkled and he asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Yong hold any position under the command of King Yong?"
"I am not very talented. I only manage the government affairs in Hedong for King Yong and serve as a stay-at-home officer in Taiyuan. At the same time, I am also responsible for the affairs of the Zhongshu family."
The Khan couldn't help but sigh: "A great talent like Mr. cannot be appointed as Zhongshu Ling. This shows that Li Siye cannot reuse talents."
Cen Shen laughed and said: "The Khan is wrong again. My lord values talents the most and recruits heroes from all over the world under his command. There are people like me everywhere. I can't be the official secretary because I still need to learn and make progress."
Gel Khan admired Cen Shen's eloquence, stroked his beard and nodded and said: "It's okay to marry, but you can't fool me with the daughter of a branch of the Li Tang family. Since it is Li Siye who wants to marry me, then please marry his daughter.
.This Khan has heard that Li Siye has three sons and one daughter. Except for the eldest son who has been executed by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, the other children have reached the age of marriage, so he won’t be reluctant to part with him, right?”
"Of course not," Cen Shen lowered his head and said in deep thought: "My lord's daughter is unmarried when she reaches the age of becoming a minister. Now she is twenty-two. The Khan won't despise her for being old, right?"
"No, no!" Khan thought to himself, I am already in my forties, would I still dislike a girl in her twenties?
"That's just right. In order to show my sincerity, I asked for a portrait of Li Chongle, Princess Yongwang, before I left the fortress. It was like asking the Khan to recognize the beauty first, so as not to regret it later."
After saying this, he took out the portrait from his arms, spread it out and showed it to the Khan for him to look at. This sight made the Khan's eyelids jump with fear.
The lady in the painting has soft red lips and a floral patch on her forehead, but her appearance is really unflattering. Her forehead is plump and protruding, but her chin is long and pointed. The two lumps of rouge on her cheeks not only do not add to the beauty, but instead make the person in the painting look more beautiful.
She was even more ugly and weird, and even more frightened than the dancing goddess in his tribe.
Gele Khan stuttered and asked: "This, this, is Li Siye's daughter?"
"Ahem, oh, the princess's beauty is a bit unexpected, but she is kind-hearted and gentle by nature. She is well-read in poetry and books. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also proficient in medicine, good at cooking, and can embroider red needles."
The Khan's face has elongated, thinking that even if you praise her for being able to do anything, you can't even get into my Han Dynasty because of her appearance. Good guy! I heard that all the women in the Tang Dynasty are as beautiful as flowers, but this is the result.
A woman who is far less beautiful than the wind-swept and sun-exposed women on our grassland.
"In this case, since I am a khan on the grassland, I should marry a princess with more noble blood. You should marry the princess of the Li Tang family."
"It doesn't matter," Cen Shen folded his hands and said with a very kind smile: "Don't you have a few adult special agents under the Khan's knees? I am willing to be the matchmaker to ensure that they form a marriage with my princess."
When the three special agents standing in the tent heard this, their faces turned green. The eldest son was the first to hug the Khan and said, "Father, my son suddenly feels urgent to urinate, so I have to leave first."
The second son and the third son also made the same excuse and hurriedly ran out of King Khan's tent.
The Khan waved his hand and said: "The marriage does not necessarily require you to marry a daughter. I heard that Li Siye's second son Li Chongbao is good at fighting. With only three thousand flying tigers, he defeated my ten thousand-person Eagle Division in the Grass Valley of Hehe.
Defeated. I intend to marry the most beautiful daughter in my family to him, but I wonder if her father, Li Siye, will agree?"
"This?" Cen Shen suddenly felt confused. The ancient tradition was that men's family inheritance was more noble, so they had to marry a woman with noble blood. Anyone who married a woman from a foreigner would be looked down upon. Besides, the etiquette for marriage is uncle-nephew.
The relationship between the two countries is naturally that the father-in-law is the mother-in-law, the uncle is more noble, and the nephew has a lower status. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou emperor had to marry a Turkic woman as his imperial concubine in order to compromise with the Turkic minority in the north. The Turkic Khan
He often regarded himself as his father-in-law, and criticized the establishment of an heir in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He insisted on letting his own nephew become the prince, which caused many turmoils in the palace.
"Young Master Li Chongbao is the most valued son of King Yong, so his marriage must be cautious. Let's not talk about it today."
"Hey, don't refuse in a hurry." Khan raised his palm to stop him and said: "My little daughter Xuezhu is the brightest flower on the grassland. Her eyes are clearer than Nacuo Lake, and her skin is clearer than the snow-capped mountains.
He is fair-skinned, and countless prairie men admire his beauty. Come out, Xuezhu, and let the envoys of the Han family take a look at you!"
The woman who was hiding in the felt curtain at the back of the big tent strode out with a sudden stride. There was no shyness on her face, and she looked at the envoy from the Han family straightforwardly.
Cen Shen looked at her and felt very surprised. This woman's appearance did have a special charm. She was not as dignified as the oval face of a Han woman, but she had snow-white skin, a thin chin, and a high and delicate nose bridge. She didn't need
Apply makeup and powder to make people admire you.
"How about it?" Khan said proudly: "A daughter like me is not worthy of a son from his Li Siye family? I believe that the day Xuezhu gets married, all the men in the prairie will regard Li Chongbao as a public enemy."
"Well," Cen Shen replied, "I don't dare to make the decision on this matter without authorization. I can only make a decision after I go back and ask the lord and the second young master."
"It doesn't matter. I can afford to wait. Mr. Cen Shen has great talent, so there is no problem in painting. I would like you to draw a portrait of my daughter and show it to Li Chongbao, lest he reject it before meeting and miss it in vain.
This is a good marriage."
Cen Shen replied: "Since the Khan has already decided, I can't say anything. I will paint Princess Xuezhu's portrait later."
He used silk cloth to draw a portrait of Xuezhu in the Khan's tent. The technique was perfect and it was quite realistic. Then he took this portrait and said goodbye to the Khan and left the Golden Khan's tent.
After Cen Shen walked out of the tent, Gel Khan said to the people around him: "If this marriage can come true, this transaction will not be a loss for me. People in the Central Plains pay attention to the order of succession. If Li Siye can succeed in his inheritance, his eldest son will
If he dies early, his second son Chongbao will definitely be passed down. My Xuezhu will be the queen, and my grandson will be the future emperor. On the other hand, if Li Siye fails to fight for the world, his sons will definitely have no place to live. When the time comes, I will
You can extend an olive branch to Li Chongbao and ask him to bring Xuezhu to his parents' house to become a general. I got a brave general who is good at conquering and fighting for nothing. Do you think I have made a profit?"
The people on the left and right all praised Khan for his miraculous plan, and they felt ashamed.
Cen Shen did not go back to Hedong first to tell Li Chongbao the news. Instead, he returned to Chang'an to report to Li Siye and reported that the Khan had agreed to the marriage, but had one more request, that he wanted the Khan's daughter to marry Li Chongbao. He showed the portrait
Showed it to Li Siye, but Li Siye was noncommittal and nodded and said: "Go and bring the portrait to Li Chongbao and ask him if he is willing to marry the princess of Gel Khan."
Cen Shen took the portrait out of Chang'an City again, rushed to Taiyuan, Hedong, and personally showed the portrait to Li Chongbao, the governor of Hedong.
Li Chongbao was filled with love after seeing him. He had seen many Han women, but none of them were as beautiful as Princess Xuezhu. Although it was a pity that she was a Uighur girl, it was the Uighur girls who had such exotic charm.
, it’s really hard to choose between the fish and the bear’s paw.
In the end, Li Chongbao made a decision and decided to marry this Huihe woman back home, but he hesitated and asked Cen Shen: "I wonder what my father said?"
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that it is up to you to make your own decision about your marriage."
"Well, sir, please go back and tell Gel Khan that I will definitely send someone to the grassland to marry Princess Xuezhu."
