"Take back the right of the Tusi to govern the place."

This sentence sounded like a thunderclap to Gao Shishi. If this thunder came out of Gao Shiqin or Gao Mengnan's mouth, Gao Shishi wouldn't have felt strange, but when it came out of Huang Zhiting's mouth, it really shocked him.

After the shock, it was moved.

The Tusi of Southern Xinjiang were migrated from Guangxi, and roughly two-thirds of the various Guangxi Tusi were moved away, of which the Cen and Huang families occupied the main part.

Because the territory that Cen had "divided" was not near the sea, and had been nesting in the northeast of Annan since then, under the leadership of Cen Ling, he was mainly responsible for the "stability maintenance" work in Annan, so the expansion of power was not obvious.

The Huang family is very different, because of the relationship between Huang Zhiting and Gao Pragmatic, Gao Pragmatic has called the Huang wolf soldiers many times, and the Huang wolf soldiers have also made great contributions in several wars. Although from the point of view of the source of troops, Gao Pragmatic is more of the wolf soldiers of Huang Zhiting's own lineage, but more or less the troops of the rest of the branches will be used.

In this way, these credits will eventually be shared among the various branches of the Huang family, which not only gives them the capital to be proud of the local area, but also makes them subconsciously think that their family is extraordinary, and may even consider themselves "descendants".

In history, there may only be the descendants of the Xiao clan of the Liao State, and judging from the series of secret reports of the black top secretly received by Gao Shishi, there are many people within the Huang clan who may hope that the Huang clan will become the "descendant" of southern Xinjiang.

Of course, this is ridiculous, but Gao Pragmatism cannot fail to attach importance to this ideological tendency.

In fact, the source of this kind of thinking within the Huang family is clear to Gao Shipra, and perhaps part of the reason is himself. For example, he never revealed that he wanted to take a concubine, although this has nothing to do with the reasons understood by the Huang family, but it does exacerbate the flood of this kind of thinking in a certain way.

As Liu Xin said before, Jinghua's status in southern Xinjiang is like that of the emperor, no matter what Annan is the commander, whether it is the king of Siam, the king of Nanzhang, the king of Bago, etc., in fact, they are all firmly controlled by Jinghua - the main force of the national army is in the hands of Jinghua, what is the authority of their words?

So from this point of view, Gao Shipra, as the only master of Jinghua, is naturally the "emperor" of the entire southern Xinjiang, even if he has never shown half of this meaning, it is impossible to prevent the people below from having such thoughts.

Liu Shouyou sued in front of Zhu Yijun at the beginning, although he had ulterior motives, but his core idea was actually not wrong - Gao Pragmatism is really the uncrowned king of southern Xinjiang. Anything that is wanted to be done in the countries and localities of southern Xinjiang will certainly not be able to do anything that conflicts with the orders of high pragmatism, and vice versa.

In this situation, Gao Pragmatic had never taken a concubine before the wedding, and after such a long time after the marriage, he had no intention of taking a concubine. This inevitably makes the people of the Huang family have an illusion, thinking that Gao Pragmatic is either very much in love with Huang Zhiting, and refuses to give any bit of favor to others; Either Jinghua is too dependent on the Huang Clan's wolf soldiers, and refuses to do anything that may shake the Huang Clan's wolf soldiers' closeness to him.

Of course, it could be both.

Since this kind of thinking is in place, it is not surprising that the Huang family is regarded as a "descendant" within the Huang family.

The reason why Gao Pragmatic felt that this kind of thinking itself was ridiculous was because the Huang family might have misunderstood the origin of the "descendants" of the Liao State, and they thought that the Xiao family was in the same situation as their Huang family.

In his previous life, he read history pragmatically and pragmatically, and he also had a doubt, that is, why all the queens of the Liao Kingdom seemed to be surnamed Xiao?

Indeed, in the two hundred and ten years from the founding of the Liao State to its demise, except for the empress of Liao Shizong, who was a Han palace maid surnamed Zhen who was snatched from the Later Tang Dynasty, the remaining eighteen queens were all surnamed Xiao. But what is this all about? Is there really such a family that will always marry the emperor of Liao, and can always ensure that he will become the queen?

The first thing to note is that the Khitan tribe originally had no surname, and this custom lasted for hundreds of years until the Yelu Abaoji period. According to the "Khitan National Chronicles and Tribal Chronicles": "The Khitan tribe has no surname. but each is called by the name of the place where he lives. Marriage does not live in the land. After Yelu Abaoji changed his family into a country...... He is still known as 'Shili' in the name of the place where he lives. 'Shili', the name of the place of 200 miles on the east of the mountain. ”

Shangjing in this record is the Inner Mongolia Bahrain Left Banner of later generations, and the Chinese translation of this "Shili" is "Yelu", Abaoji added the word "Yelu" in front of his name, and since then "Yelu" has become the surname of the Khitan royal family.

So did the "Xiao" surname of the Empress of Liao also come from this? The answer is no, the surname "Xiao" actually appeared after the canonization of Liao Taizong, which is also clearly recorded in the "History of Liao: The Biography of the Queen": "Taizu is called the emperor, and the grandmother is called the empress dowager, the mother is called the empress dowager, and the concubine is called the queen...... The descendants are only the B room, the Pallie clan, and the world is in charge of its state affairs. Emperor Taizu Mu Hangao, so Yelu is also called Liu's, and Xiao Xiangguo is compared to the B room and the Palli family, so he is the Xiao family. ”

There are two very important pieces of information in this record, one is that the queens of the Liao Kingdom are all from the second family and the second clan of Dialli; The second is to explain the reason why the Empress of Liao is surnamed Xiao.

It turned out that Yelu Abaoji was compared to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, so in addition to the surname "Yelu", the Liao royal family also had a surname: Liu.

At the same time, Yelu Abaoji believed that the importance of the queen was similar to that of Xiao He, the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, so he gave the surname "Xiao" to the two descendants of the second room and the dial.

Perhaps the above explanation will give rise to two other questions: first, why was Yelu Abaoji's wife, Empress Shuluping, not given the surname "Xiao"; The second is why is the empress of Liao Shizong Han Chinese? Here is a simple explanation.

First of all, there are two explanations for the reason why Shu Luping was not given a surname: one is that the above-mentioned surname system came from Liao Taizong, so the author of "History of Liao" did not change it.

The second is that although Shu Luping's surname has not been modified, and later the author changed his surname to "Xiao" when talking about Shu Luping's descendants, for example, in "Liao History: The Biography of the Queen", there is "Taizong Jing'an Empress Xiao's family, the small character Wen, the daughter of Empress Chunqin's younger brother Murulu", which shows that it is likely that Shu Luping's family was given the surname "Xiao" during the Liao Taizong period, but as descendants, it is difficult for them to turn back and change their surname to Shu Luping.

The second question is why Liao Shizong canonized the Han people as empresses. In fact, this problem is directly explained in "Khitan National Chronicles: The Original Family Surname": "The royal family only intermarries with the descendants, and it is not limited to respect and humility, and the royal family and the descendants are the families of the two tribes." If you do not follow the orders of the lord of the north, you are not allowed to intermarry with people of all tribes. or the tribes marry one another, without limitation. ”

This also means that the marriage system of the Liao State does not restrict the marriage of the Khitans and other ethnic groups, so Liao Shizong was able to canonize the Han Zhen as the queen - but this is only an isolated case after all, not enough to shake the status of the "Xiao family".

Although the wolf soldiers of the Huang family are strong, there are not many people in the clan who read, let alone any family style of learning, which can be seen from the time when Gao Shishi first met Huang Zhiting, Huang Zhiting often even heard some famous poems. Therefore, it is understandable that the Huang family's understanding of the "descendants of the Xiao family" is somewhat biased.

In fact, it should be said that the Xiao family, the "descendant" of the Liao State, was originally divided into two, divided into two families, the second room and the two families, which have been the right-hand men of the Yelu clan since the era of the tribal system, so the "strong alliance" formed the de facto "one king and two queens, three alliance empires" - the Liao State.

So, is this situation at the top of the Liao State really the same as that in southern Xinjiang at this time? Apparently not.

To make the simplest hypothesis: if the Liao State split between the "First King" and the "Second Queen", what would happen to the Liao State? The answer is that the Liao State may have to be divided. At the very least, there will be large-scale civil strife, which will most likely lead to the collapse of the ruling power and the destruction of the state.

So looking back at southern Xinjiang, what would happen if Jinghua and the Huang family were separated?

It won't be how!

Jinghua itself has an overwhelming strength advantage in southern Xinjiang, even if the Huang clan rebels, Jinghua is fully capable of crushing and flattening in all directions!

What's more, the Huang family has already had a "separation" after Huang Zhiting got married, and it is almost impossible for Huang Zhiting herself to stand on the side of the Huang family. In this way, Jinghua's crushing advantage over the Huang family will continue to be amplified.

In this case, the Huang family actually thought that their family was comparable to the Xiao family, the descendant of the Liao Kingdom, which really made Gao pragmatic speechless. Perhaps, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant.

Not to mention a Huang family, even if they operate according to the situation of the Liao State and pull the Cen family together, the Cen and Huang families will merge into one, in fact, they will not be able to reach the strength and status of the descendants of the Liao State in the "country".

Why? Because Jinghua's strength in southern Xinjiang is far greater than that of the Yelu clan in the Liao State - the Liao State itself was developed from the tribal alliance system, and the biggest feature of the tribal alliance system is that its national leader is equivalent to the "king of kings", that is, the leader of the most powerful tribe of all tribes.

How can the situation in southern Xinjiang be like this? Southern Xinjiang is the "sole king" of Beijing! It's a situation where other forces, even if they are added together to oppose Jinghua, they can only be hung up by Jinghua to fight!

That's it, you still expect to be a "descendant"?

Although Gao Pragmatic has long since stopped doing the Spring and Autumn dream of "advanced dish cooking system", he will not turn back the wheel of history, but go to play with a tribal alliance system, right? If you really do that, Gao Pragmatic is probably crazy.

Liu Xin saw that Gao was silent for a long time, and he waited and waited, but he never saw him speak, and finally couldn't help but say: "Eh, Gao Shutai, do you usually think about things from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and continue to deliberate until the liberation of the whole country in 49?" Isn't it just a local administrative power to take back the toast, as for thinking about it for so long? Or is there something wrong with this that I didn't think of? Then don't think about it alone, and point me out by the way. ”

Well, as soon as this girl was in a hurry, she stopped talking about the "slave family" and continued to call herself me, which is really my demeanor.

Gao Shishi was asked by her like this, and quickly came back to his senses, glanced at her, and smiled: "Do you know, when Zhiting made this proposal, she was actually euphemistically persuading me to take a concubine." ”

"Huh?" Liu Xin is really longer than military affairs, and it is not unreasonable for her reputation in southern Xinjiang to catch up with Huang Zhiting because of several big victories, and she is relatively inferior in these roundabout "mental skills", and she was surprised when she heard this: "What do these two things have to do with each other?" ”

Gao Shishi saw that there were not only doubts in her eyes, but even doubts, and naturally guessed that she was probably suspecting that she was trying to find a reason for taking a concubine.

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help laughing, raised his eyebrows and said, "What, do you think I'm making excuses for taking concubines?" ”

Liu Xin didn't speak, Gao Pragmatic shook his head, and said: "Zhiting persuaded me to take a concubine not once or twice, but the reasons she found before were of little value, and I didn't take it to heart, but this time...... It's a bit new. ”

"She also persuaded you to take a concubine many times?" Liu Xin was really surprised, but she quickly came back to her senses, shook her head and sighed: "What did the book say at that time, what poison?" ”

Gao Pragmatic knew what she meant by "that time", but Gao Mo was still here, he didn't plan to take this conversation, he just shook his head and said: "Unless you really go to be a hermit in the deep mountains, the times and society will inevitably form constraints on people, not to mention Zhiting, even if you and me, can you be beyond this constraint?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Liu Xin was deflated, and sighed quietly: "No." ”

Gao Shishi saw that her mood suddenly dropped, and couldn't help but quip: "Why do I think your expression is like being urged to marry?" ”

Liu Xin opened her mouth, but glanced at Gao Mo and stopped talking.

Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand at Gao Mo: "Gao Mo, you go and arrange dinner, me and Miss Liu." ”

Gao Mo himself was also relieved, hurriedly responded and hurriedly went downstairs. He was also really not used to the style of talking between the old man and Miss Liu, so much so that he felt that listening to the two of them was even more nervous than Princess Yongning coming to visit.

Well, the woman next to the lord is the most normal lady...... Even if the lady was originally from Toast.

"Gao Mo is gone, there is no third pair of ears to hear the conversation between us now, if you have anything to say, just say it." Gao said with a smile.

Liu Xin sighed: "My father...... I mean, this father, he's very nice to me, you know? ”

"Of course." Gao pragmatically nodded.

"He was injured, I heard you say before that he was supposed to live for a short time, but it was because you found Li Shizhen that he and Ma Laoshuai could live until now?"

Gao Pragmatic groaned a little and said, "Judging from the original history, this is true. ”

"But although Li Shizhen is powerful, he can probably only last for some time, he said in a letter to me and my eldest brother that he still often makes mistakes everywhere, and sometimes in the middle of the night, he is in a cold sweat and wakes up from his sleep."

Gao Shishi frowned, and said apologetically: "I've been busy with affairs recently, and I don't care about these things a little, but I don't know about these situations." Or...... I'll send someone to ask Mr. Binhu to come and ask later? ”

Liu Xin shook her head: "I'm not blaming you, and I don't have such qualifications, I'm just ...... Alas, you don't know, he said in the letter that he has gone from being a white man to a general soldier in his life, and all other wishes have been fulfilled, and he has always been at ease with one thing...... He even uttered things like 'I'm afraid of death.' ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Is it your marriage?" ”

"What else could it be? The eldest brother has already married a wife, and the concubine is even more ruthless, but he is much more generous than you, and my father can only worry about me. ”

"Eh, can you say that your own business will not catch me? Just now I mentioned that Zhiting persuaded me to take a concubine, you still look disdainful, how come you come to Liu Ling, and the concubine is very beautiful? Gao pragmatic immediately protested.

Liu Xin gave him a blank look: "Are you the same thing as my eldest brother?" What is the same education you receive? ”

"It's different, but education is education, and the social situation we are facing now is still very similar! Why is it natural for him to take a concubine in a righteous and bright light, and when I mention it, he is guilty of a great crime and a hundred deaths? It's not fair, right? ”

Liu Xin was speechless for a while, and turned her face away: "I don't want to talk about you now, aren't you clever and calculating?" Let's hurry up and think of a way for me, okay? ”
