Chapter 242 Khitan begging for marriage
Wang Chong finally rejected Guo Chongtao's order on the grounds that "the general is away and the military order is not accepted."
Under the prompts of his subordinates, he remained firm and remained unchanged, which allowed Wang Yueyao to escape.
I have to say that the people in the secretary's supervisor are so lucky that they are exempted from death because of this.
After almost losing his life, Shiyu finally couldn't stand the feeling that life and death were completely controlled by humans. He resolutely snatched the dagger in Zhu Si's hand and fiercely drew a blood mark on Wang Yueyao's pink neck to force Wang Chong to give way.
Seeing Shiyu's decisive look as if he had died together, Wang Chong compromised. He could not afford the consequences of Wang Yueyao's death, so he had to order his subordinates to make way for a passage and allow these women to leave. Of course, Shiyu also took Wang Yueyao with him.
Shortly after the people from Cuiwei Pavilion left, Wang Chong resolutely decided to follow him alone. Qi Yi could find an opportunity to save Wang Yueyao, and the rest of the ghost guards were sent back to the general's mansion by him.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Yuchi Jin frowned and looked at the group of Khitans in the middle of the hall. It was these people that made her and Guo Qizuo unable to escape.
If one of the two knew about Wang Yueyao’s actions and experiences, perhaps the result would be a different one.
Most of the people in the middle of the hall were Khitans, but the one in the lead was Han.
This person is six feet long and has red lips, white teeth, beautiful beard and curly eyes, and extraordinary handsomeness. When he was young, he was also a romantic figure like a tree of pear blossoms that crushed the crabapple.
This person is nothing else, it is Han Mengyin.
Speaking of Han Mengyin, you may not know this person. His two sons are Han Tinghui and Han Zhigu, famous ministers of the Liao Dynasty.
According to historical records, Yelu Abaoji's establishment of the Great Liao, Han Tinghui, and Han Zhigu made great contributions. These brothers were both founding heroes of the Great Liao Dynasty. In history, the Han family was a famous family of officials in the Liao Dynasty.
As the father of Han Tinghui and Han Zhigu, Han Mengyin was also not simple. He was born in a family of officials and became the governor of Jizhou. However, because of Li Keju and Li Quanzhong, the infighting in Jizhou, he fought in a row and fought in Jizhou. He was angry and turned his family to the Khitan.
The Khitan was defeated by Zhu Li in both battles, and there was no internal conflict, so he had to send Han Mengyin to Shuozhou, trying to resolve this grudge through peaceful means and thus rescue Yanmujin and Yuelixin.
The Khitans did not worship the Tang court, but showed favor to Zhu Li. For the entire Heshuo, this was the first major event in history, and Yuchi Jin and Guo Qizuo did not pay attention to it.
Han Mengyin looked at the little lady on the master's seat and frowned slightly. They went to Shuozhou to visit Zhu Li, but Shuozhou actually sent a little lady to meet him. How could he feel comfortable?
However, facing Zhu Li, the Khitans were defeated in two battles and lack confidence. Even though he was confused and dissatisfied, he had to bow and pay his respects and said, "Han Mengyin was on a mission to Heshuo, mainly to pay homage to General Huaihua. I don't know that General..."
"Hmph" Before Yuchi Jin could speak, Zhao Wu, who was standing on the side, snorted coldly and said proudly: "You can see my general at any time. The one sitting on it is our general's wife. It is your great blessing to take time to see you. Why, aren't you satisfied?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Han Mengyin felt balanced when he heard that the young lady was Zhu Li's wife.
Since the rise of feudal dynasties, monogamy has begun to be advocated in the Central Plains.
We see the phenomenon of wives and concubines in history and classics, because these books record them all, and they are all high-ranking officials.
If you record the history of ordinary people, you will definitely see another scene.
Monogamy was advocated in feudal society. There were few ordinary people who took concubines. If everyone didn’t believe it, they could check it themselves.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the status of wives and husbands was equal.
If Zhu Li had something to do, it would not be rude to ask his wife to come out to meet the Khitan envoy. Because of this, Han Mengyin didn't dare to do anything.
"I am not aware of Mount Tai. I would like to forgive my wife if it is abrupt." Han Mengyin apologized quickly. He came to ask for peace, so he naturally had to put his posture a little lower, and he should not rashly offend the important figures in Shuozhou. In his opinion, Yuchi Jin was obviously very important.
Zhao Wu said that Yuchi Jin was Zhu Li's wife, and that all the civil and military officials in Shuozhou in the entire hall took it for granted. But in Yuchi Jin's ears, it was obviously a different feeling. He was called his wife before he got married. Even though she had always been strong and brave, her pretty face was bleak, and her heart was shocked.
However, Zhu Li was in a state of fainting, and Shuozhou had to bear everything. At this time, she endured this embarrassing discomfort and said clearly: "To be honest, I am very surprised by your arrival; in September last year, you Khitans, together with Xi people, Tuyuhun, raised 200,000 troops to knock on Juyong; at the beginning of this year, you joined forces with the remnants of the Party Xiang, and the Uighur Deko of the Shulu tribe, ravaged Fengzhou; now you are here to visit again, which is really inexplicable."
Yuchi Jin's words were harsh and seemed to not take them seriously.
Following Han Mengyin, several Khitan generals who could understand Chinese were sarcastic as if they were holding guns and sticks in Yuchi Jin's words, their faces turned red instantly, and they were about to be angry and burst out. However, under the gesture of Han Mengyin's eyes, they finally endured it.
Han Mengyin's attitude was very respectful. Even though he heard Yuchi Jin's sarcasm, he still smiled and said humbly: "Who in the world doesn't know the reputation of General Huaihua? If the general is in charge of Heshuo, how dare we act rashly?"
"However, my eight Khitan tribes have millions of string control men. Looking at the whole world, the only one who can make us Khitans regard us as friends is the only general."
Han Mengyin said this very outspoken. Although he held Zhu Li high, he did not lose the majesty of the Khitans at all.
The words are soft and hard, and the meaning is very obvious. If the Tang Dynasty changed someone to take charge of Heshuo, their Khitan would not be so polite.
Facing Zhu Li, who can win two battles and defeat the Khitans, they will give them enough face; as for other vassal states in the Tang Dynasty, they really didn't take them seriously.
In a word, the Khitan cannot beat Zhu Li, but it does not mean that they are weak and can be squeezed by others.
This soft and thorny word was heard by the people of Heshuo and his friends, and it was also very uncomfortable to everyone. But when everyone looked up, Guo Qizuo, who was in charge, was still squinting, as if he was asleep, his uncomfortable mood naturally faded.
Guo Qizuo's expression clearly didn't take Han Mengyin's words to heart. What else do they mind? In a word, what are the Khitans in Guo Qizuo's eyes?
Guo Qizuo didn't take it seriously, but Yuchi Jin felt very uncomfortable and continued to tease: "Well, since the Khitan is so powerful, what are you going to Shuozhou? Isn't you really here to make friends?"
Since these people came to visit at this critical moment, Yuchi Jin was very frustrated, so he spoke without hesitation.
This is Zhu Li's foundation, and now she is in a serious position
The first severe test, let me ask, which infatuated wife does not cherish her husband's foundation, except for the prodigal wife.
Today, Heshuo, the wolf guards formed an army and the mass production of crossbows has been put into the border army on a large scale.
It can also be said that Heshuo's northern expedition to the alien race, especially the Khitans, had everything ready. Just waiting for Zhu Li to give the order, Yuchi Jin did not take the other party seriously even if he dared to speak like this.
When Han Mengyin heard this, she still looked generous and distracted and bowed: "Since the lady asks about her intention, she must want her to congratulate her."
As soon as this said, everyone in the palace was shocked. Han Mengyan looked around with a smile on her face. She was very satisfied with the effect she had caused. Her expression seemed to be saying that Yuchi Jin won five million, and she didn't know it yet, and she was very pleasing.
When Yuchi Jin heard this, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and said coldly: "Congratulations? Why...Madam doesn't know, where does this joy come from?"
"Haha, Madam doesn't know, that's because Madam hasn't finished listening to the next words. As long as she finishes listening to the next words, Madam will definitely be happy to see it." Han Mengyin seemed very sure.
"Well, then let's talk about it."
"I'm following the order of my wife, so I'll say it bluntly. My Khan heard that the general had a sister, who was only eleven years old. Coincidentally, the Khan happened to have a nephew named Yelu Yi, who was thirteen years old. If our two families became the friendship between Qin and Jin, and communicated with each other, wouldn't it be a good story?" Han Mengyin said with a smile, as if things were as beautiful as he said.
So that's what happened. Once the foreign tribes in the northern border express surrender or show weakness, they either accept their godfather and accept their godfather or seek noble daughters. This phenomenon has been a long history and is not uncommon. In the eyes of officials in the Central Plains, this is a common practice.
In fact, when these Khitans offered thousands of handsome horses, boxes of treasures, and hundreds of beauties from outside the border, Guo Qizuo had already guessed their purpose. Now the truth was finally spit out of Han Mengyin's mouth, so he was naturally not surprised.
But he has such a personality. If he will understand things sooner or later, he will be happy, not to mention that he himself does not object to this marriage. If he takes advantage of the opportunity to marry and send troops to the grassland, it will be a good opportunity.
Under the guise of getting married, he bewitched the Khitans and secretly caught the Khitans off guard. Of course, Guo Qizuo would not have any objection.
But he doesn't mind, some people mind, if the civil and military people in the palace are the ones who are most disgusted with the marriage, then it must be Yuchi Jin. After all, she is a woman. Is there still fewer incidents of women being regarded as a bargaining chip in ancient times?
But behind this, are they really willing as women?
Any woman, as long as she can look at the problem from a certain level, would not have a good impression of such things, and Yuchi Jin is no exception.
What's more, Zhu Li once told her some things, which were about the character of a dynasty. If the dynasty does not marry, does not pay tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country. Such a character and such a solar term are difficult to not be praised for thousands of years.
In Zhu Li's words, a man has not yet died, so how can he use a weak woman to exchange for humiliating peace?
Of course, Zhu Li is a little angry young man, and she can't get sand in her eyes. It's not surprising that she has this statement, but the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intent, so Yuchi Jin keeps in her heart.
