Chapter 7 Princess Yicheng
The Goryeo envoy and his party returned to the tent, Gai Jiaojiao was a woman after all, she couldn't stand the Turkic eyes, she held her breath, and finally got angry, "Go back!" Don't be embarrassed here. [.].”
Yizhi Wende had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, Gai Suwen waved his hand and asked his sister not to speak, Gai Jiaojiao glanced at Yizhi Wende coldly, and didn't say anything.
"Eji Shangshu, what should we do?" Gai Suwen asked.
Yizhi Wende sighed, "What I'm most worried about now is that if the Turks betray us and hand us over to the Sui Dynasty, things will be in trouble. ”
"Shangshu is saying that the Sui Dynasty will attack us?"
Yizhi Wende shook his head, "It's hard to say, after all, the Sui Dynasty has pacified Tuyuhun, if we have any more tricks to be caught by the Sui Dynasty, he will definitely take us under the knife." ”
Yizhi Wende glanced at the Turkic guards outside the tent, and whispered to Gai Suwen: "Sister Ling is right, we must leave, take advantage of the opportunity of the Turkic Khan to see Emperor Sui early tomorrow morning, leave the Turkic camp, and never let the Turks hand us over to the Sui Dynasty." ”
"But with a Turkic army of 100,000 people, and all of us are in the outer camp, how can we escape?" Gai Suwen said worriedly.
"If you can't escape, you'll die!"
Ezhi Wende finally became a little angry, and he glared at the Yuan brothers and sisters fiercely, "If you don't want to go, then I will go alone, and if I die, I will be loyal to the king!" ”
Gai Suwen nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! We'll break out early tomorrow morning. ”
Shibi Khan Duji returned to the big tent and ordered someone to call the commander of the ten thousand commanders, who was responsible for the defense of the inner camp, Alatu was the Turkic archer who fought with Yang Yuanqing and Gaisuwen in front of the Golden Palace, he was loyal to the Shibi Khan, and had been promoted to the rank of captain, and won the trust of the Shibi Khan.
Aratu knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Aratu see Khan!" ”
"I'll go to see Emperor Sui early tomorrow morning, and you have to strengthen the defense of the garrison, especially to keep an eye on the Goryeo envoys and prevent them from running away."
"Obey!"
Ji Ji smiled, "This Goryeo guard officer heard that they were the first archer, was he the one who yin you when he was competing for arrows in Chang'an?" ”
Aratu nodded, "I saw him today. ”
"Then you have to keep an eye on them, and it will be your shame to run away!"
"I'm not going to let him humiliate me again!"
Aratu bowed and retreated, thinking that he was going to meet Emperor Sui tomorrow, the corners of his mouth gradually showed a smile unique to men, and a Han woman in a white dress like snow appeared in his mind, who was once called his mother He longed to conquer her, not only to conquer her body, but also to conquer her heart.
He turned and walked to another large tent a hundred paces away, this one was different, and was surrounded by a huge wooden fence, about five feet high, each of which was the thickness of a bowl, and the gap between the fences was as long as an arm. feigwenxue
This was a Turkic prison where nobles were imprisoned, and commoners were kept in cellars, and Asto was once imprisoned for three years.
According to Turkic customs, women are only appendages, and when the father dies, the father's other wives are inherited by the eldest son, except for the biological mother.
Whether it is the Xiongnu, Rouran, or today's Turks, they all have this custom, which is actually the importance that the steppe people attach to population reproduction.
So when Qimin Khan died, his eldest son Duji inherited all his women, except for Princess Yicheng, of course, Duji can also inherit her, but she has a special status, to inherit her, you must get the approval of the Great Sui Emperor, and at the same time, you must canonize her as Kedun.
However, there is a more personal one for Duji to inherit Princess Yicheng, he has long fallen in love with this young and beautiful princess of the Sui Dynasty, and he knows that his father and her are only husband and wife in name, Princess Yicheng has been married since she got married, and her father did not force her out of respect for the Sui Dynasty.
But he is different, he wants this woman, not only to make her a kedun, but also to get her body, so that she can truly become his real woman, maybe she can give birth to a son for himself.
Duji walked to the gate of the fence, and a dozen guards bowed to him.
"How is she?" Duji asked.
"Back to the Khan, the food has not moved at all except water."
Du Ji had a headache, Princess Yicheng had been on hunger strike for three days, three days ago, on the way to beg for a while, Princess Yicheng wanted to escape, was found in time, seeing that she couldn't escape, she threatened herself with a hunger strike.
"Where's her female bodyguard? Did you kill it? ”
Du Ji thought of Princess Yicheng's personal female guard, and he was annoyed in his heart, if it wasn't for the female guard's repeated obstruction, Princess Yicheng would have been his meal.
"Return to the Khan! The female guard was fierce, having killed seven or eight of our brothers, and every time she was about to kill her, Kedun threatened to kill herself with a sword, so that we could not do so. ”
"Rubbish! Is it all brainless? ”
"Khan, we also poisoned our diet, but it didn't work, they could test it, and then they all threw it out."
"A bunch of things that don't have!"
Ji Ji scolded and walked into the fence, he stood outside the tent and smiled proudly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you just accept your fate!" Tomorrow I will meet with Emperor Sui and formally ask him to inherit you as Kedun, you have no choice. ”
"I can choose to die!" Princess Yicheng's cold voice came from inside the tent.
"If you want to choose to die, I can't stop you, but ants are still greedy for life, not to mention people, you want to be lenient, you and I are of the same age, you may not be able to become a good couple, Your Royal Highness Princess, you should know that I have been interested in you for a long time."
"Get out!"
Ji Ji was a little annoyed, "You'll know who the hell is going tomorrow night!" ”
He dropped a harsh word, turned and walked away.
Inside the big tent, Princess Yicheng was leaning weakly on the wooden cabinet, her face was pale, and she was on a hunger strike for three days, and she couldn't support it a little.
Behind her, Yu Chiwan looked at the princess worriedly with a war knife in her hand, she slowly knelt in front of Princess Yicheng, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you can eat a little bit!" You won't be able to support it. ”
Princess Yicheng smiled faintly: "Wei Chi, what hope can I have now?" I'd rather die than be with this brute, the Turks can, but I'm not a Turk. ”
"But the Holy Lord may not agree, and Her Royal Highness the Princess may still have hope."
"Don't say stupid things, my royal brother has always been a merciless person, he only has his society in his heart, and he will never consider my feelings, he will definitely agree."
Princess Yicheng only held Yu Chiwan's hand, stared into her eyes and said, "Tomorrow night, he will definitely use violent means, Yu Chi, you will kill me with a knife then, you know?" ”
Yu Chiwan nodded slowly, "I'll die with the princess!" ”
Walking through a dense group of tents next to each other, Yang Yuanqing came to Pei Ju's tent under the guidance of an engaged person, and after only waiting for a moment, Pei Ju walked out of the tent quickly. ”
Although Yang Yuanqing returned to Beijing to report on work for a few days at the beginning of the year, he did not meet Pei Ju at that time, and he had not seen him for nearly two years.
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed and bowed, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two years, and my grandfather-in-law's body is even tougher." ”
Pei Ju smiled and waved his hand, "Don't look at the surface, it's actually worse than before, I know in my heart, people always live older and older, where can there really be a reason to live younger and younger?" ”
Pei Ju invited Yang Yuanqing into the big tent, the two sat down separately, Pei Ju's scholar served them tea, Pei Ju smiled slightly: "Actually, I heard about it as soon as you came, and the saint was very anxious to summon you this time!" Ministers are speculating about what happened. ”
Yang Yuanqing didn't answer him in a hurry, but slowly took a sip of tea, although Pei Ju didn't mention himself, he could also feel Pei Ju's eagerness.
The biggest change in Yang Yuanqing in the past two years is that he has learned the quietness of officialdom, the so-called calmness is a kind of not being impatient, thinking twice, and while thinking, he will also capture the subtle changes of the other party at the same time.
Seeing that Yang Yuanqing had actually learned to sell Guanzi, Pei Ju couldn't help but praise secretly, and simply smiled and said, "What, even I have to keep it a secret?" ”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "It's not that I want to keep it a secret from my grandfather-in-law, but it's a very important matter, and the Holy Lord doesn't allow me to tell anyone, so I don't know how to speak?" ”
"Then you just say the result, and let me guess the reason."
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said: "The result is very simple, the Holy Lord is going to use troops against Goryeo!" ”
Pei Ju was stunned for a moment, the use of troops against Goryeo is not a confidential matter, why did the saint do it so mysteriously, and he couldn't wait to recruit Yang Yuanqing, he hesitated and asked: "Could it be that the saint wants you to lead troops to attack Goryeo?" ”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "The Holy Lord didn't let me lead the troops, he wanted to make me a Turkic envoy and let me stabilize the Turks for him. ”
"Raise the soldiers of the country!"
Pei Ju was taken aback, "It's useless to deal with the powerful Tuyuhun, a small Dongyi Goryeo, this ..... Is it necessary? ”
Yang Yuanqing sighed secretly, there are some things that really can't be said, even to Pei Ju, the real reason for Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo, except for him, really can't tell anyone anymore.
Sometimes Yang Yuanqing also feels strange, the history of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo, which directly led to the fall of the Sui Dynasty, a conquest of Goryeo, Shandong has already rebelled, perhaps at this time it can be said that Yang Guang did not take these little people to rebellion to heart.
But the second expedition to Goryeo, Yang Xuangan rebelled, followed by him rebelled countless important ministers and high-ranking officials, and even the royal family also participated, the foundation of the entire ruling class began to shake, the fire of rebellion in the whole country became more and more intense, hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops were stationed on the border, eyeing the tiger, and the Sui Dynasty was about to be destroyed.
But in this serious situation of internal and external troubles, Yang Guang actually had to conquer Goryeo three times, and did not hesitate to destroy the empire created by his father for a small northeastern country that could not talk about the core interests of the Sui Dynasty at all, is he stupid?
With Yang Guang's eloquence, he knows better than anyone else, and the Sui army won a hundred battles before conquering Goryeo, almost destroying the Turks, but conquering Goryeo, killing and wounding millions of troops, but in the end he didn't even hurt the fur of a small country, is Yang Guang ignorant of military affairs? The Battle of Pingnan was commanded by him, and the Turkic War in the twenty years of the emperor's reign was commanded by him, how could he not understand military affairs.
In the end, he was making a big gamble with the Battle of Goryeo, using the Great Sui Empire as a bet to completely eradicate the biggest threat to the Great Sui, the Guanlong nobles.
But in the end, he still lost, and Li Yuan, one of the nobles of Guanlong, won this earth-shattering gamble with the support of Guanlong's forces.
This is history, and today, he Yang Yuanqing has walked into history, where should the big ship of history go?
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a long time and said to Pei Ju: "In this battle of Goryeo, Grandfather Yue must find a way, the farther away from it the better.
