The soldiers did not know that the bronze statue was sold by Yaoying, and said with admiration: "No wonder those Persian merchants are so hype, this Buddha statue is really beautiful, and the servant has never seen such a style before."
Yaoying closed the treasure box and asked, "Now the tribal chiefs and princesses in the city are looking for treasures?"
The soldier nodded and said, "The price of the satin in our satin shop has also increased, so they are still rushing to get it!"
He secretly glanced at Yaoying, but did not dare to say the rest. The reason why the price of the shop's silk and satin has risen is because it is rumored in the city that Yaoying is wearing clothes cut from the Central Plains to dance for the Buddha.
Yaoying looked at the treasure box, rolled her eyes, got a plan, and said, "Send the bronze Buddha back to Lao Qi and tell him to give this Buddha statue to those Persians and let them sell it at a high price. whoever wins."
Since Persian merchants say that this bronze Buddha is rare, it is better to sell it at a high price when the princes, nobles, chiefs and princesses in the city all want the bronze Buddha.
The soldier looked regretful and respectful, and asked, "Then why did the princess give the Buddha's son to celebrate his birthday?"
Yaoying waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this."
The soldiers stopped talking.
Yaoying glanced at him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What are you worried about?"
The soldiers hesitated for a moment, then murmured, "Lao Qi and the others are afraid that the gifts from other princesses will be better..."
Yaoying couldn't help laughing, "What are you fighting for?"
It's not a birthday gift contest.
"Don't worry about this, the caravans that went to Samadang, Jieshuangna, Beitianzhu, and Tubo are coming back soon, you should pay attention to support."
The personal soldiers scratched their scalps and retreated embarrassedly.
…
King Temple.
Bi Suo rushed to the Zen room, and when he walked through the corridor, a young man wearing a brocade hat, a half-sleeved leopard-skin brocade robe, and long boots strode over.
When passing by, Bi Suo noticed that the other party was as tall as himself, and glanced at him casually.
The man was seventeen or eighteen years old. His brows were drawn into his temples, the bridge of his nose was straight and straight, his outline was strong, his arms were strong and thick, his brocade robe was stretched tightly around his body, and there was a long and narrow knife mark on his cheek, which did not harm him at all. He is handsome, which just makes the young man less childish and more calm than a mature man. He is full of heroic spirit, tall and vigorous, and at a glance he can see that he is a tribal warrior who grew up on horseback.
Although they were young, they were not at all afraid of Bi Su's aura. A pair of brown eyes stared straight at Bi Su, like a silver sword slashed from the sky, showing their sharp edge.
Without saying a word, the two nodded to each other.
When the man walked away, Bi Suo asked, "Who is he?"
Yuanjue replied in a low voice, "General, this is the little prince Mobido."
Bi Suo suddenly realized, "It turned out to be him."
On the night when tens of thousands of private soldiers of aristocratic families were stationed outside the Holy City, a troop of 10,000 tribal cavalry descended from the sky, and they cooperated with the Wang Tingzhong army, which had mixed into the four armies, to break up the battle formations of the four armies, and drive away the remnants of the broken will.
The young man at the head of them charged bravely, his momentum was like an electric shock and thunder, and he commanded the clan to fight like a general on the battlefield. When he ended the battle and led the clan to salute to Tanmaraga under the city, when he took off his helmet, everyone realized that he had actually He looked like a young man, very surprised.
Overnight, Mobido's fame spread throughout the royal court.
The nomadic tribe Mobido belonged to was called Ujiri. They used to herd sheep and horses for the Persian dynasty. Later, when Persia fell, the Ujiri tribe was exiled to the area of Congling, where they often robbed and killed passing caravans.
The royal court was prosperous, and the nomadic tribes on the trade road repeatedly looted the royal court caravan. The regent king Sultan led the army to clear the trade road. All the tribes were besieged and blocked by the royal court's army, and there was no way to escape, so they had to surrender, including the Ujiri tribe. Since then, the trade routes have been unimpeded, and the royal caravan no longer has to worry about being plundered by small countries and tribes along the way.
After the Ujiri tribe was annexed, they thought they would be enslaved and murdered. Unexpectedly, Tamara only punished the robbers, not the common people, and found a territory for others to allow them to graze and farm. The family, young and old, was grateful. The Ujiri Department has since changed their beliefs and embraced Buddhism.
A few days ago, after receiving a letter from the goshawk, the old chief immediately rushed to the holy city with his troops overnight. During the period, he joined other tribes. Mobido went out with his father and took the initiative to ask for a forward, and the old chief readily agreed.
In the past two days, the old chief made a request to Tamara Ka, hoping that his son Mobido could stay in the holy city, so that he could gain insight and listen to the teachings of the Buddha.
Tamaroka agreed.
Bi Suo thought that Mobido stayed in the holy city, mostly because he wanted to become the guard of Tamara, so that he could successfully inherit the Ujiri tribe in the future.
Over the years, almost all the tribes that belonged to the tribe have converted to Buddhism. If the successor chief can be recognized by Thamaraga, no matter his origin, he will be accepted by the tribe and his status will be stable.
The once rebellious tribe, under the nurturing of the spring wind and rain in the Tamaroka, has become a force loyal to the royal family, defending the royal court, and being loyal.
Is this what Lorgar said about the combination of grace and power, and the combination of hardness and softness
Bi Suo thought secretly in her heart, entered the meditation room, clenched her fists and bent over to salute.
The long desk in the room was full of vellum scrolls, and Tamara was writing on the desk, and when he heard him speak, he lifted his chin lightly.
Bi Su understood, stepped forward, picked up the parchment in the corner of the long case, and looked at it carefully.
Yuanjue explained from the side: "Wang, General Ashina and Princess Wenzhao left the city today and just returned to the Wang Temple, so I'm late."
Bi Suo's eyelids twitched, and she immediately looked at Tamaroka.
Tanmaraka lowered his head and remained silent, and his writing movements did not stagnate at all.
Yuanjue withdrew.
Bi Su felt a little uneasy in her heart. After waiting for a while, she saw that Tan Mo Luojia never said anything. She pressed her mind and focused on the parchment. When she saw the last few sentences, her face changed greatly.
Bei Rong sent his credentials, started with a lot of scenes, and finally said that their eldest prince wanted to marry Princess Chima, in order to bond the friendship between the two countries.
Bi Suo said angrily, "What do the people of Beirong mean? They know that Princess Chima can't marry outside."
Princess Chima will only marry the royal court nobles.
"Wakhan Khan is testing me." Tamara stopped writing and said, "The four armies have just returned and cannot fight. You send a letter to the troops stationed in various places in Shacheng. If someone comes to provoke, no matter whether the opponent is the Beirong army or the small army. The tribes, keep their troops and do not move, and those who violate the military orders will be dealt with by military law.”
Bi Su should be, now that Beirong is blocking the news, they must be cautious.
After discussing some other matters, Bi Suo quit.
When he retreated to the door, he suddenly stopped, raised his head, looked at Tan Moraga, and said, "My lord, Princess Wenzhao invited me out of the city today to talk about business."
Tamara was silent.
Bi Su couldn't see whether he cared about it or not, so he stood there for a while and then silently backed out.
Cigarettes curled up in front of the tent.
The pen in Tamaroka's hand stopped, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he took off the bead-holding string on his wrist, gently turned the beads with his fingers, and recited the scriptures silently.
The wind blew into the Zen room through the open door, and the room was dark.
After a while, he held the bead cage back on his wrist, picked up the pen, and continued to review other memorials.
At this time, there was a sound of deliberately light footsteps coming from the door, and the guard Prajna saluted outside the door, his face flushed and his expression anxious.
"King, the servant accompanied the official to meet the envoys of various countries and heard some rumors."
He entered the room and got down on one knee, a bit of anger in his voice.
"You have to take care of Princess Wenzhao! You can't let the princess fool around like this anymore!"
Tamara stopped writing and raised his eyes.
Prajna immediately restrained his anger and complained in a low voice: "Wang, the news that Princess Wenzhao beat Princess Beirong has spread throughout the Holy City."
Today, Prajna went to the post house to appease the envoys of various countries, and was surrounded by servants of princesses from various countries to ask questions.
On the day that Yaoying and Zhu Luyun met, she deliberately kept spies. Those spies saw her and arrested Zhu Luyun and her personal soldiers without saying any politeness. They tortured her on the spot, and finally threatened Zhu Luyun with words. Their masters reported that their masters were the princesses of all countries.
Hannya said with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Now there are rumors all over the place, they say that Princess Wenzhao is arrogant and domineering, cruel and ruthless, and that they are afraid that princesses from other countries will take you away, and they will lead someone to capture Princess Beirong and force her to return to Beirong, just in time. The Beirong embassy is leaving, and the princesses of other countries will believe it!"
As he spoke, his voice rose a little higher: "Those princesses asked me if Princess Wen Zhao was as charming in front of you as the legend, obedient and obedient, in fact, poisonous like snakes and scorpions, and vicious at heart, they also said, who is close to you? You, Princess Wenzhao will poison someone's face, for you, she will do everything she can, and she will use any vicious means..."
At the end, Prajna shook his head, "The princess is too arrogant, and the rumors are getting more and more exaggerated. What will the people of the royal court think of you in the future? Wang, you have to take care of Princess Wenzhao."
Tamara put down the narration, called Yuanjue, and asked him if he had heard the rumors.
Yuanjue replied, "I heard that Princess Beirong was going to leave as soon as she arrived in the holy city. The people said... that Princess Wenzhao was jealous because of competition, so she would be forced to leave."
Tamaroka frowned slightly.
…
After a turmoil, the situation in the DPRK and China gradually stabilized. The birthday of the Buddha's son, Tamara, and the princesses of various countries who gathered in the holy city once again became the most frequently talked about topics for the common people after dinner.
After the martial law was lifted, the streets and alleys of the holy city were bustling and flowing, crowded with worshippers.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Zhu Luyun and her party left the Holy City in dismay.
Zhu Luyun was forcibly sent to the royal court by her aunt, Princess Yiqing, and wished to leave earlier.
Her personal soldiers did not want to go back just like that, but Wang Ting directly sent troops to send them back, and there was no room for change. They had no choice but to return without success.
When they came to the royal court, they traveled during the day, rested at night, and stayed in the post house for a few more days in case of wind and snow. When they returned, the soldiers of the royal court kept urging them. They couldn't pass on the news to ask about the next plan. They could only abandon the cart, and everyone rode on horses.
After finishing the documents and going through the office, the Beirong defenders suddenly detained a few people.
The personal soldiers said angrily: "We were ordered to send an envoy to Wang Ting, and now we have to rush back to Yizhou to return to the order. The edict is here, and it was written by the official handwriting.
The soldiers burst into laughter and did not explain. They checked everyone's past and confirmed that they were correct before giving the order to let them go, but not letting them go back to Illinois.
The personal soldiers were confused and asked the escorting soldiers where they were going to be sent, but the soldiers kept silent.
Three days later, the restless group was sent to a Tucheng for sentry duty. The personal soldiers happened to know the Tucheng guards, and they found the acquaintances and asked him for help.
The guard heard that they wanted to go back to Yizhou, and said: "You don't know, the tooth tent is no longer in Yizhou! The judge and Princess Yiqing may have followed the Khan to Orudo, and you want to return to Yizhou. The state will return to life, and it will only be empty."
The personal soldiers were stunned: After Zhu Luyun arrived in Izhou, the husband of Princess Yiqing asked for a princess title for her, and then the princess sent her personal soldiers to escort her niece to the royal court. When they left Izhou, Beirong was calm. Later, they lost contact with Beirong. At that time, they thought it was because of the long distance. Khan actually went to Orudo!
"What happened in Illinois?"
The guard's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice: "I'm just a pawn, and I don't know what happened... I heard people say that it seems that several princes and Prince Haidu Aling had a dispute, and Haidu Aling assassinated him. Khan, Khan was seriously injured. Later, he moved his account to Orudo without knowing what was going on. Now there is chaos in Izhou. The people who escorted you are the people of the eldest prince. They are going to send you to Orudo. ."
The soldiers were terrified, sweating on their clothes.
The judge and the eldest princess Yiqing were teachers of Haidu Aling. Haidu Aling assassinated the Wakhan Khan, and the eldest princess Yiqing must be involved. Maybe the judge and the eldest princess have been killed by the Khan. They fell into the hands of Haidu Aling's opponent, the big prince, isn't it just sheep entering the tiger's mouth
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, so he went back to discuss with the others what to do.
When everyone heard that Haidu Aling assassinated the Khan, their souls were scattered, and they all said: "The title of this Han princess was requested by the judge, and the judge is Haidu Aling's teacher. We escorted the Han princess to Orduo. , will definitely be regarded as a person from Haidu Aling, the eldest prince will not let us go."
"We were ordered to protect Princess Fukang. Now that the princess has returned to Beirong unscathed, we can be considered worthy of the eldest princess. We can no longer accompany the princess to Ordo to die."
"Yes! The Haidu Aling rebellion has nothing to do with us! We have to make plans early!"
"Princess Fukang doesn't care about everything, follow her, we will be killed sooner or later!"
The captain of the personal soldiers pondered for a long time, sighed, and said: "The eldest princess asked us to protect Princess Fukang. In any case, we can't leave Princess Fukang. If we want to escape, we must take Princess Fukang with us."
The others looked at each other and said nothing.
The next morning, the captain of the personal soldiers found the tent empty—his men were afraid of the prince and escaped last night while the guards were loose.
The personal soldiers sighed, counted the remaining men and horses, and under the supervision of the soldiers, continued to march towards Orudo.
After a few days, they finally arrived at Orudo.
The Oruduo sentry was tight, with scouts patrolling all the way, the cavalry came and went, the hoofs were thundering, and under the rolling hills in the distance, there was a densely packed tent. At a glance, there were about 20,000 people stationed.
The personal soldiers had no time to check the surrounding situation, and were sent to a tent with their hands tied, and shivered when they heard the harsh sound of swordsmen beating outside the tent.
Then, a pair of pure white hands lifted the curtain, and a woman with braided hair, dressed in a sheepskin robe, and a beautiful face stepped into the tent.
When the soldier saw the woman, he froze for a while, then became incoherent with excitement, knelt down and said, "Princess! This subordinate thought something had happened to you!"
The eldest princess frowned and said, "Why are you the only ones left?"
The personal soldiers blushed, explained the ins and outs, and said, "They thought that the princess and the judge had lost their power and ran away."
The princess sneered.
The soldier said guiltily: "Princess, this subordinate failed to complete the task, please punish."
The eldest princess waved her hand, looking tired, and asked someone to untie her personal soldiers, saying: "This time, letting Yunniang go to the royal court is to avoid disaster, and the second is to test the princess Wenzhao, Yunniang is useless, you do it. Well done, don't ask for guilt."
The personal soldier hurriedly said: "Princess, the rumors are true, Wang Ting Buddha's son really treats Princess Wenzhao differently! Also, Princess Wenzhao is not just a weak woman like Princess Fukang said."
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said with a sigh, "It seems that Haidu A Ling concealed something from me..."
She paused.
"You came back just in time, someone wants you to identify."
The soldier asked, "I don't know who he is?"
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of the princess' lips, and she said, "You went to Wei State to inquire about information and stayed in Chang'an. Have you met their prince Li Xuanzhen?"
The soldier nodded: "I looked at it from a distance."
The eldest princess clapped her hands, "Very good, you go to the dungeon to recognize, is that person Li Xuanzhen?"
