Chapter 458: Finally Return to Luoyang
Cui Geng's method is to give the Xi clan to Radamizhu as her territory.
This is very in line with the rules, even if it is the Tang Dynasty, the emperor can refer to a certain county as the "fat powder land" of a certain princess. Since then, all the taxes in this county have fallen into the hands of the princess.
The Turks also have a similar system, but in general, they are assigned to some tribes to the princess, not a place of feud like the Xi - yes, although the Xi are vassals to the Turks, they still have a lot of independence~ of their own. The Turkic rule over the Xi people was similar to that of the previous Great Zhou.
Now that the Xi people have become the territory of Radamizhu, first of all, those sub-Turks will not dare to rob the Xi people anymore - the Xi land is the property of the princess, and if you rob the Xi people, isn't that the property of the princess?
There is another benefit, which is to reduce the disgust of the ridicule.
Don't look at the customs of the Xi people, Khitan and Turks, but in history, the three families have a deep blood feud and constantly attack each other. That is, in the last one or two hundred years, the Xi and Khitan have turned enemies into friends and intermarried with each other, but they still have deep prejudices against the Turks.
Now Radamizhu is the representative of the Turkic rule of the Xi people, she is not only the daughter of Mo Du, but also the Pingyang county lord of the Great Zhou, Cui Geng's wife, there is no doubt that this will make the Xi people's hearts feel a lot better.
Of course, Cui Geng and Wu Yizong's plan also lies in this.
Radamizhu is Cui Geng's wife, isn't Radamizhu's thing Cui Geng's thing?
As long as he agrees to this matter silently, this ridicule belongs to the Great Zhou in a sense.
Although this statement is suspected of self-deception, Cui Geng did this with only three inches of incorruptible tongue, which is enough to explain to Da Zhou.
Moreover, Radami Zhu took such a large "dowry", and whoever talks about her identity in the future, Cui Geng can squirt that person in the face!
After listening to Cui Geng's words, Mo Du pondered for a long time and said: "In this way, Radamizhu is only leading the Xi tribe from afar, in fact, the Xi tribe is still my Turkic vassal state, not ......."
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to agree, suddenly, Cui Geng's old rival Sai Xiulun came out with a moth.
He bowed slightly and said, "Great Khan, Weichen thinks that if he agrees to King Zuoxian's request." You know, it's your beloved daughter. I don't know, I thought you were in a hurry to beg him to be this son-in-law. It's not very good for the princess and your reputation! ”
"Huh? What about General Isai's opinion? ”
"The princess still leads the Xi clan from afar, but what about the future, I also ask Zuo Xian to make some sacrifices......"
After listening to Sai Xiulun's suggestion, Mo Du was both a little excited and a little apprehensive, and hesitated: "Erlang, I don't know General Sai's condition, can you agree?" As long as you nod your head, not only is it easy to talk about the affairs of the Xi tribe led by Radamizhu Yao, but as long as Ben Khan can do it, there is no reason to let it go! ”
"That's ......" Cui Geng glanced at Sai Xiulun and said, "General Sai thinks that this official will not agree to this condition, right?" Wrong, you're completely wrong. There is no need for Khan to promise other things, as long as Radami Zhu leads the land, I Cui Erlang will agree to this matter! ”
Mo Du couldn't wait to say: "Okay, let's gentleman say a word, hurry up and whip the horse, and this matter will be settled?" ”
"As it should be!"
……
……
In the nameless courtyard of Danzhou City.
Wei Hou picked up the bags he had already packed and said, "Let's go, my good brother!" Cui Erlang really did that thing, you still don't want to gamble and lose? ”
"I can't believe that he used such a workaround, it's so despicable and shameless." Jiu Gongzi raised his neck and said angrily: "Although Cui Geng barely passed the test, this time it is really tricky, I am not convinced!" ”
"You can refuse to accept it, but a manly man, you have to be willing to gamble and lose, right?"
Jiu Gongzi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I am willing to lose the bet, I can leave Danzhou City!" However, I don't want to go back to Fangzhou with you, sister. ”
"And where do you want to go?"
"Luoyang!"
"Luoyang?" Empress Wei said with a smile: "Cui Geng is going back to Luoyang soon, it seems that you still want to avenge Fan Guanglie." Alright, let's go! ”
Jiu Gongzi had prepared all kinds of tirades, but when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Sister, do you allow me to take revenge? ”
"Hmph, if I'm not allowed, you really won't go?" Empress Wei sighed and said, "You are the most outstanding talent in our Wei family, but it has been smooth sailing in the past, so you have developed a kind and arrogant heart, and you don't know the height of the sky, so it's good for Cui Geng to sharpen your temperament." Anyway, for your brother-in-law's sake, he won't kill you. ”
"I ......"
When the ninth prince heard this, he was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out. Okay, a few days ago, my sister persuaded herself not to move Cui Geng, but now looking at the implied meaning between these words, I think that I can't help others at all.
My sister's concept has changed too much, right?
He said stubbornly: "Sister, don't look down on people! After I arrived in Luoyang, I had a good fight with Cui Geng, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer! ”
Empress Wei waved his hand happily and said, "What do you mean yet?" I know now. Alas, if you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't die, go ahead! Go ahead! ”
……
……
Da Zhou's daughter-in-law, Radami Zhuyao, led the Xi clan, and Wu Zetian's swollen face, which was slapped by Mo Du, quickly recovered to its original state.
Her Majesty was very pleased, and immediately issued a decree.
First of all, he added Radamizhu as the princess of Pingyang and the governor of Rao Ledu. The transformation of the county lord of Pingyang to the princess of Pingyang is of course a huge progress. This Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion is also very particular - it turns out that Xi Wang Su Yun is this official position in the Great Zhou, and now it belongs to Radamizhu. This is equivalent to, nominally, the Great Zhou restored its feudal rule over the Xi people.
Secondly, it is to recruit Wu Yizong, Cui Geng and Di Renjie into Beijing, and there is another reward. By the way, they were asked to bring a number of Khitan prisoners as a way for Her Majesty the Empress to boast about her military exploits.
Of course, this is a good thing, Cui Geng hurriedly packed his bags, took Feng Changqing and other henchmen, as well as Radamizhu and Mo Xiaoxing, along with the army, and came in the direction of Luoyang.
By the way, Cui Xiufang insisted on continuing to chase and kill Qiu Fengyun and the remnants of Lijingmen, but she had already drifted away.
……
……
The first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first day of August.
With clear skies and cool breezes, it was a rare good weather. Outside Luoyang City, ten miles of long pavilion, Her Majesty the Empress personally greeted the people of the Pingqidan Rebellion.
The flags were unfurled, the trumpets were fluttering, and tens of thousands of royal forest troops were lined up in several phalanxes, majestic and murderous.
Hundreds of symbolic Khitan prisoners of war, whose hands were cut upside down and strung with ropes, walked one after another in front of the empress.
Then, the ministers cheered and celebrated the martial arts of the Great Zhou Golden Wheel Emperor Ping Khitan.
Don't think it's a shame to borrow Turkic soldiers to quell the rebellion this time, you can't borrow it if you want to borrow it in the past! In fact, this is indeed the biggest victory since Wu Zetian ascended the throne.
When the cheers of the people subsided, Wu Zetian made a look, and the eunuch Wu Zhuang flashed out from behind her, pulling the male duck's throat and said, "Zhao said...... You Aiqing have worked hard and made great achievements, how can I be stingy with the reward of the prince? Di Renjie is the Duke of Liang Guogong, with 3,000 households and 200 households...... Cui Geng is a male ...... in Wurong County Chin this! ”
After listening to Wu Zhuang's will to reward him, Cui Geng was a little dumbfounded at that time.
Di Renjie is the Duke of Liang Guogong, which is of course very good, according to the normal development of history, he has to die before he can receive this gift. The food is sealed for 200 households, and it is a lot of money every year, and for Di Renjie, who has always been honest, it is even a little bit of charcoal in the snow.
But...... What about Di Renjie's reappearance? I didn't even mention it! During the Tang Dynasty (Wu Zhou), unlike other dynasties, there were often more than five prime ministers, and sometimes there were eight or nine.
If Wu Zetian really had a heart, he would casually seal Di Renjie a "Fengge Luantai Pingzhang Matter", even if Qi lived, why didn't she mention it? Also, in normal history, Di Renjie would have regained his phase a long time ago? What happened here?
