More than forty years ago, when the huge Northern Zhou Dynasty was still alive, the surname Yuwen was not uncommon, because the Yuwen clan was the Northern Zhou royal family at that time, and there were hundreds of thousands of children of the Yuwen clan alone, in addition to many nobles who were given the surname Yuwen by the Yuwen clan, which was everywhere in the Northern Zhou Kingdom.

Not only that, because the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was overwhelming in the world at that time, and many Han people also took it upon themselves to change their surname Yuwen, and the Han people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty naturally did not dare to change their surnames indiscriminately, but at that time, in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty in the south, there were many Han people who changed their surname to Yuwen, claiming to be the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and swaggering and deceiving in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Although this thing sounds absurd, it is a real thing that happened, because at that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was strong, and these "two barbarians" were still very comfortable in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they would even be superior to others.

However, this situation, more than 40 years ago, when Ye Sheng broke through the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop, it completely changed, and later in order to prevent the Qing Quan of the Great Jin Dynasty, not only the "two barbarians" of the Great Jin Dynasty, but even the real Northern Zhou royal family who did not have time to escape to the outside of the Guan, also changed the surname Yuwen to the Han surname, after more than 40 years, the surname Yuwen is basically invisible in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

And the self-proclaimed surname Yuwen is from the north, and his identity is already obvious.

At this time, it was approaching the end of the year, and it was quite cold in the capital, so Li Xin put on a cotton suit and walked slowly to the front hall of his house.

In the front hall, a woman wearing a moon-white jacket was sitting quietly on a chair waiting for Li Xin's arrival.

"The little woman has seen Hou Ye Li."

Only then did Li Xin see her appearance clearly.

This is a woman who looks slightly different from the Central Plains woman, her skeleton is slightly larger in comparison, and her facial features are a little more generous, but her hair is jet black, and at a glance, there is almost no difference from the Han people.

After all, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty first entered the customs, he also served as the son of heaven in the customs for more than 100 years, and during this more than 100 years, the Xianbei people and the Han people intermarried in large numbers, so that even the Yuwen royal family like Yuwen Zhao had more or less Han blood flowing in his body.

Although there are still differences between their appearance and those of the Han Chinese, the differences are not obvious.

Li Xin just glanced at the woman briefly, and then sat straight on his main seat, and said lightly: "Did Yu Wenzhao ask you to come?" ”

The woman nodded with a smile, then took out a delicate document from her sleeve and handed it to the table in front of Li Xin: "The little woman's name is Yuwenque, and her father, Yuwenzhao, came to see Master Hou on the orders of her father. ”

Her official words are very standard, even more standard than what her father Yu Wenzhao said, and this official language exceeds six or seven percent of the officials in the court.

In this era, there were also official dialects similar to Mandarin, but they were far from being popularized, and every time Li Xin went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he heard those strange dialects of the Ministry of War, which were all one head and two big.

Xianbei people don't have so many rules as Han people, and they don't avoid their father's name, so she said it directly.

Li Xin sat on the main seat and glanced at the woman lightly.

"The girl is dressed like a Xianbei person."

Yu Wenque smiled slightly: "In Hou Ye's heart, we Xianbei people must wear animal skins?" ”

"My father has liked Sinology since he was a child, and he also likes Han clothes, and even the little girl grew up wearing these, and my Yuwen clan once entered the Central Plains, and the clothes at that time were probably more elaborate than the royal family of the Jin Kingdom."

Having lived a good life and never having a good life are two different things, the Yuwen clan has enjoyed the blessings of more than a hundred years in the guan, and the vision has come up, and so far the upper echelons of the Yuwen clan rarely wear Xianbei clothes anymore.

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea,

"If I'm not mistaken, the last era name of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was called White Sparrow." (This is the name of the Later Qin era in history.) ）

"It seems that King Yuwen has been thinking about returning to the country all these years."

Yuwenque hurriedly bowed his head: "Master Hou misunderstood, my father asked the little girl to come to the capital of the Jin Kingdom to visit the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom and pay homage to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom." ”

A few days ago, after a series of blows by Ye Mao and the Chongjia army, the Yuwen tribes in the north were seriously frustrated, and now there is only one Yuwen Zhao Department left, and there is also a Yuwen Helan Department, and the vitality of the entire Yuwen Department has been greatly damaged, but the Yuwen Zhao Department has annexed the Futu Department and most of the Qigui Department, as long as it survives this time, it will soon grow stronger.

Of course, this will take time.

Therefore, it is normal for him to send people to the capital to sue for peace with the Great Jin, after all, he wants to give his tribe time to digest the Futu Department.

The Marquis of Jing'an was expressionless.

"According to the rules of the imperial court, even if the Yuwen clan wants to be a minister, a man should be sent."

Li Xin's words do not mean to discriminate against women at all, it is that this era somewhat looks down on women, and there are almost no women who do such errands as an envoy.

"Master Hou misunderstood, the little woman is not an envoy."

She stood in front of Li Xin and saluted Li Xin generously: "Father means to give me to you Jin Kingdom as a gift for this pilgrimage." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an was a little stunned.

He can understand the "harmony" reached by the two sides through negotiation, but how can there be such a "gift" that he has grown two legs and sent himself?

However, this is a very normal thing among the Xianbei people, and the weak offer the most beautiful girl in their tribe to the strong to please the strong and achieve the purpose of "reconciliation".

This is another sense of harmony.

The Marquis of Jing'an was silent for a while, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said slowly: "In this case, the girl should go to the palace, or go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, how did she come to me?" ”

Yuwenque lowered his head.

"According to my father's meaning, as a gift for worship, give me to the emperor of your Jin Kingdom as a woman, but as soon as we arrived in the capital, we heard that your emperor died."

Speaking of this, she looked up at Li Xin,

"Therefore, I remembered the Hou Ye Li mentioned by my father, so I brought my subordinates to visit Hou Ye Li."

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed to the gift list: "This is a gift prepared by my father for Hou Ye Li, which must satisfy Hou Ye." ”

Li Xin looked at the envelope and his face was calm.

"Girl, you have found the wrong person, I am no longer in Jimen Pass in Northern Xinjiang, nor in the Central Shangshutai, at this time I can neither affect Northern Xinjiang, nor can I affect the imperial court, Yuwen's affairs, I can't get involved."

As he spoke, he pushed the gift slip back.

"Li is not blessed."

"I don't need to do anything with Hou Ye Li."

Yuwen Que stood up, gritted his teeth a little embarrassedly, and bowed his head and said: "As long as Hou Ye Li lets the Jin Imperial Court no longer attack our Yuwen clan, it will be fine, and then the gifts will not only be on the gift list, I will also stay by Hou Ye Li as a gift and be Hou Ye's daughter...... Concubine room. ”

She originally wanted to talk about women, but she knew some Han etiquette rules, so she changed her mouth to "concubine".

Speaking of which, this Xianbei girl, who looked like she was only ten ** years old, lowered her head a little embarrassed, pinched the corners of her clothes with her hands, and her face turned red.

"Please also ask Hou Ye Li to ......"

The Marquis of Jing'an sat on the chair, and he was a little dazed for a while.

How can this be reasonable, why didn't this girl say a few words, and then played a hurry to be a junior for herself?

Isn't he going to be a generation shorter than Yuwen Zhao?
