Chapter 298: Xianbei's Temptation

Early the next morning, before the sky was full, Xie Dai left the Jing'an Hou Mansion with the six princes, at this time even Li Xin did not get up, and when he heard the movement and put on a piece of clothes and walked out, Xie Dai had already led the little prince to prepare to get into the carriage.

When the sixth prince saw Li Xin coming, he walked up to Li Xin, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Xin twice.

"The other head is for my aunt."

The little prince got up and bent over at Li Xin: "If there is still a chance to meet, my nephew will kowtow to my uncle again." ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and touched the child's head, and sighed slightly: "It's better for you to stay in Sanyin for the rest of your life, and when you grow up in the future, I will go to Sanyin with your aunt to see you." ”

The little prince wiped his tears and turned around to get into the car.

Empress Dowager Xie's two sons, the eldest son in the deliberate arrangement of the Taikang Emperor, and Jing'an Hou Mansion is very close, as the crown prince, even fixed to live in Jing'an Hou Mansion for a few months every year, but this younger son is not very able to go out of the palace, he is six years old this year, and he has only been to Jing'an Hou Mansion three or four times.

He wiped his tears at this time, naturally not reluctant to Li Xin, but reluctant to the capital, reluctant to his mother in Kunde Palace.

You know, this child is only six years old this year, and he has no father, and now he wants to go to San'in, where he is unfamiliar with his life, and it is very likely that he will grow up alone in San'in, and if he is replaced by an ordinary child, he may have collapsed at this time.

It's remarkable that he can endure crying until he's leaving.

Li Xin didn't say anything, just silently sent the carriage two steps, and then turned around and went home.

For the Heavenly Family, family affection is of course there, but it is not very important, in their eyes, there are far more important things than family affection, so the Son of Heaven sometimes seems very bland.

Faced with this situation, Li Xin was too lazy to take care of it, and he didn't want to take care of it.

The day after the six princes left, the imperial court officially issued an edict, by the old man who returned to his hometown Ren Shangshu right servant shot, the prime minister's house slightly appointed the middle book order, three days later, the court will hold a court meeting, with these two prime ministers as the core, elect the new Shangshutai Zaifu.

As for the word auxiliary minister, no one in the court dared to mention it again.

And the work of Marquis Li has not stopped, Yu Linwei is still arresting people under his command, but because of the maintenance of the old ram and the grace of the emperor of Yuan Zhao, in addition to the first batch of more than 100 people, most of the people behind are demoted and exiled, or they are sent to Jingzhao Mansion to squat in prison, and the more serious ones are just sent to the north to fill the army, and few people are really killed.

All in all, the things that offended people were done by Li Xin and Yu Linwei, and Shang Shutai and the new emperor became good people.

A month later, only four or five people's heads were cut off at a time in Xishi Street, and at this time, Li Xin was too lazy to go, so he rested at home, occasionally going to Chen Guogong's mansion to play chess with the white-haired Chen Guogong.

Soon, it was the end of the lunar month of the first year of Yuan Zhao.

At this time, more than a month has passed since Shen Kuan and others made a rebellion, and the first year of Yuan Zhao is about to come to an end, and the turmoil brought by Shen Kuan and others has slowly subsided.

Although Yu Linwei is still arresting people, he is no longer as panicked as he was more than a month ago.

At this time, the situation gradually stabilized, and many forces in the capital slowly became honest, and the little emperor slowly got in touch with political affairs under the teaching of the old man, and the new Shangshutai was very powerful, and the political affairs were smooth, seeing that the Yuan Zhao Dynasty was about to slowly get on the right track.

At this time, an envoy from the Xianbei Department in the north, almost forty people, with a hundred horses, came to the capital.

These people came to the imperial capital to congratulate the new son of heaven.

The head of the mission is named Yuwen Di, the eldest son of Yuwen Zhao.

In the first foreign affairs of the new dynasty, Yuan Zhao Tianzi naturally took a fancy to it, and he led hundreds of officials to meet with the envoy from northern Xinjiang in the Weiyang Palace.

Yuwen Di respectfully knelt in the Weiyang Palace and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven on the throne.

"Chen Yu Wendi, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor."

After this ceremony, all the ministers, including Ram Shu, frowned.

It stands to reason that a foreign envoy should not claim to be a minister, nor should he grovel to such a point.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was accustomed to the worship of hundreds of officials, but he didn't feel anything wrong, waved his hand, and said, "Get up and speak." ”

Yuwen Di stood up respectfully, bowed to Yuan Zhao Tianzi and said: "The place is remote, I only heard about His Majesty's accession to the throne not long ago, and after my father knew about it, he immediately prepared a hundred horses as a congratulatory gift, and ordered the ministers to send them to the imperial capital to dedicate them to Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "Fifty horses for each male and female." ”

A hundred horses are valuable, but in such a place as the capital, it is not very brilliant, but fifty pairs of horses are very different, the source of horses in the Great Jin Dynasty is scarce, and the war horses in the various armies are not very good, with these horses can be used as stallions to improve the quality of the Great Jin war horses.

Although Yuan Zhao Tianzi is not very old, he has been cultivated as a prince since he was a child, and he still understands the importance of war horses. ”

Yuwen Di took a deep breath and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, before the minister came to the capital, my father had another request, asking the minister to ask the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi frowned: "You say." ”

Yuwen Di said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since more than 40 years, my Xianbei tribes have been divided, not to mention each other's conquests, and it is difficult to govern, so that there are still some gangsters who rob the people in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty and harm the people's livelihood, so that the two sides are incompatible and misunderstandings are frequent. ”

"My father has always wanted to unify the Xianbei tribes in the north, herd horses and sheep with peace of mind, defend the northern frontier for the Great Jin Dynasty, and the two states will always be on good terms, but it has been difficult to achieve his wish, the sky is pitiful, not long ago, the leader of the Helan tribe was willing to negotiate peace with his father, and now the Xianbei tribe in northern Xinjiang is finally going to be unified again."

"The minister begs Your Majesty to give me the title of King of the Xianbei Tribe, and from now on, the Xianbei Department of Northern Xinjiang will always be a vassal of the Great Jin Dynasty, pay tribute to horses and fat sheep every year, and serve the suzerain for generations!"

These words are still very tempting, you must know that there is not only such a foreign tribe in the Xianbei Department in the northern Xinjiang, when Xianbei was still in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were Qiang people in the north, and the Xiongnu These strong races still exist in the north, if the Xianbei Yuwen Department bows down to the Great Jin Dynasty, and is willing to be the domain screen of the Great Jin Dynasty, and defend the frontier for the Great Jin, then the soldiers and horses guarding the country in Jizhou City and Yunzhou City do not need to be removed, but the pressure can also be greatly reduced.

More importantly, if there are no hidden dangers in the north for the time being, the imperial court can focus all its energy on the southwest and concentrate on solving the problems in the southwest.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the throne, and after being silent for a while, he turned his head to look at Ram Shu: "What does Lao Xiangguo think?" ”

The ram stroked his gray beard and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this kind of national affairs is in a hurry, and he needs to discuss it slowly, so he can let this envoy of the Xianbei Department stay in the capital first, and wait for the results of the court discussion, and then give him an answer." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, looked at Yuwen Di, and said in a deep voice: "Your envoy will go to the Chase Hall to rest first, and then send someone to inform your envoy when I have discussed the results with the Zhongqing family." ”
