my wife is mulan

After a few days of consideration, Zhao Junsheng selected a few people. Once the Western Regions were to be managed, both Rouran and Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties had to make adequate preparations and arrangements.

Gao Jinzhi, Liang Yi, Wei Juan, Sima Chuzhi, and Liu He were ordered by Zhao Junsheng to enter the palace.

"I summoned you guys today, and you must have guessed that the imperial court will manage the Western Regions in the next two or three years. I have decided that Gao Jinzhi will be appointed as the Protector of the Western Regions to fully manage the Western Regions. The position of the Chief History of the Western Regions will be assigned to Liu Take charge!"

Gao Jinzhi and Liu He stepped forward and agreed: "Observe the order!"

After the two retreated, Zhao Junsheng continued: "Although we want to manage the Western Regions, we cannot relax our defenses against the Rouran people and the Southern Dynasties. Weijuan, I named you the General of Zhenbei and the commander of the military forces in Mobei. The government office is located in Huaishuo Town! To deal with Rouran, we must change from a passive defensive state to an active offensive. Every year, before the Rouran people go south to plunder our Dagan border area, we must take the initiative to attack Mobei, mainly with small-scale Qingqi , no more than a hundred riders at least, no more than a thousand riders at most, one hit and go, never love to fight, don't give the Rouran people a chance to gather troops to chase and intercept!"

Wei Juan stood up and clasped his fists in agreement: "I obey the order!"

Zhao Junsheng said to Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi: "We also want to increase our deterrence against the Southern Dynasties, but we have mainly operated the Western Regions in the past few years, and we cannot start war against the Southern Dynasties for the time being. Unless there are special circumstances, don't provoke them! But in the Military drills, troop mobilization, and patrolling can be strengthened, so I chose you two!"

"Sima Chuzhi, I named you the Great General of Zhennan, the governor of Jingxiang, and the military forces in Huainan! Liang Yi, I named you the Captain of the Nanman School, General Xiaoqi, and the Chief of the General of Zhennan, to assist Sima Chuzhi in guarding southern Henan and Huaibei!"

Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi took a step forward, bowed to each other and said, "I will obey the order!"

The generals soon went to various places to take up their posts. Soon, Gao Jinzhi and Liu He also set off from Chang'an with 1 soldiers and horses to Dunhuang to establish the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Ever since Qianguo opened up the Hexi Corridor and dealt with Tuyuhun and Dangxiang people, the power of Dagan has become more and more powerful, and more and more Hu people from the Western Regions have come. Chang'an City has become more and more lively day by day. More and more people from the Western Regions and outsiders came to Chang'an to discuss life.

In the past half a month, envoys from various countries in the Western Regions and small countries in the Sichuan-Tibet and Qiangtang regions have arrived in Chang'an one after another.

On this day, Li Jijin, Minister of Honglu Temple, visited the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, envoys from various countries have arrived in Chang'an one after another. I have arranged for them to stay in the posthouse area and strengthen their defenses! When will your majesty receive them? The minister is also good at making arrangements!"

Zhao Junsheng did the math: "Today is the twelfth day, and the Fifteenth Court Meeting will be in two days' time. Let's arrange it for the Fifteenth Court Meeting. The venue will be in the Tai Chi Hall!"

"promise!"

In the early morning of February [-]th, amidst the majestic and majestic drum music, all civil and military officials lined up in two teams from the palace gate and slowly entered.

More than 100 ministers are divided into civil and military classes in the Taiji Hall and stand facing each other on both sides of the hall.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were coming in the imperial chariot, and Hua Mulan yawned and said, "I don't like the early dynasty, you just let me come! What's the point of those barbarian envoys?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I told you to get up early because I was afraid that you would develop the habit of sleeping late every day. You don't appreciate it. Think about how long it has been since you got up early to practice martial arts and exercise your body? This is not good. To practice martial arts, you have to live to be mature. When you are old, when you are old, you can also be an elegant, capable, and flexible little old lady, unlike other old grandmas who are hobbled, senile, and bloated. If you are like this, future generations will dislike you, grandson I don't want you to hug me!"

"Cut!" Hua Mulan said dismissively, but in fact she heard it in her heart, blaming herself for being too lazy in the past few years, her body is getting more and more bloated, and her skills are not as good as before, secretly After making a decision, I should practice martial arts early every day.

Outside the Taiji Hall, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan got off the imperial chariot and walked in side by side.

Zan Lilang shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Empress have arrived—"

All the officials bowed down: "Welcome Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan held hands and walked to the front of the throne to face all the officials. Zhao Junsheng raised his hand and said, "Everyone is flattered!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the officials stood up and stood in awe. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan sat side by side on the throne.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at all the ministers: "Today is the grand court meeting, and later I will receive envoys from the countries in the Western Regions and the small countries on the southwest plateau. In order to save time, the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries will make brief presentations and speak urgently. , it’s not something that must be played, you can wait to see him tomorrow alone! Okay, let’s start now!”

The chief officials and ministers of the three provinces and six ministries spent an hour reporting the affairs of the yamen.

Zhao Junsheng listened to them one by one, and now makes a decision.

"Next is the time to meet the envoys of the various countries, but before receiving the envoys of the various countries, I have to do some understanding of the customs and customs of the various countries, so as not to make jokes and make people laugh. Who will tell me? "

Honglu Temple Minister Li Ji stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, the envoys from all countries have been sent by ministers to receive them. I have also done some investigation and understanding. Let me introduce you to Your Majesty!"

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, "Let's talk about the attached country first!"

"Promise!" Li Ji agreed, and introduced: "This attached country is outside the northwest of Shu County, south of the area where the original party members were active, two thousand miles away from Shu County, eight hundred miles from north to south, and [-] miles from east to west. In order to avoid revenge among the tribes, the people often live by the mountains and stones, which are called watchtowers. , if the enemy invades, hide in the watchtower to garrison! Each floor of the watchtower is more than one foot long, separated by wooden boards, and there is no staircase connecting the upper and lower floors. If there is an enemy coming, pull out the wood after all the clansmen have hid in the watchtower!"

"The people of the attached country are good at singing and dancing, playing drums, and playing the flute! They don't wear mourning clothes for funerals, hold a second burial, and pay attention to ghosts and gods; they are executed for serious crimes, and cattle are punished for misdemeanors. Chief, no surname! Its land borders Jialiangyi on the east, Boyuanyi on the south, and the country of women to the west!"

Hua Mulan couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by the marriage transfer system?"

Li Ji replied: "The system of transferring houses is also called accepting and inheriting marriage. It means that the father's death can marry his father's wife, but his biological mother is not married; a brother's death is also married to his brother's wife! This custom is also prevalent in Rouran. However, there is even a bad habit of nephews marrying aunts and aunts!"

Hua Mulan blushed when she heard that, and couldn't help it: "Pfft, what an ugly habit, so vulgar!"

"Cough cough!" Zhao Junsheng coughed twice, raised his hand and said, "Tell me about Jia Liangyi, Bo Yuanyi and Nuguo!"

"Yes!"

"Jialiangyi is on the east side of the attached country, and Bo Yuanyi is on the south side of the attached country. The customs of these two countries are the same as the attached country! The female country is on the west side of the attached country, and it is the sphere of influence of the female country to the depths of the plateau!"

"The female country is a city on the mountain, with a radius of five or six miles. Its king is a woman, and the queen's surname is Supi. She lives above the nine-storey building and is named 'Binjiu'. Domestic men are all sergeants and do not give birth; women are officials, engaged in production and herding. The vulgar women and their husbands are completely different from my custom of patriarchal! Under the queen, there is also a little queen, everyone knows State affairs! The high-ranking officials of the female country are called 'Gaoba'. If the queen dies, the successor will be two virtuous women from the clan, one will be the queen and the other will be the little king!"

"The women's country despises husbands because of the precious women, so polyandry is implemented. All children follow the mother's surname, and sex is not jealous!"

"The people of the women's country, both men and women like to paint their faces with colors, and they can change in one day or several times!"

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all amazed at Li Ji's introduction to Nuguo. No wonder it is called Nuguo. This custom is completely opposite to that in the Central Plains.

Next, Li Ji introduced the situation of Shanshan, Yiwu, Yanqi and other countries in the Western Regions one after another. The courtiers were fascinated by his introduction of the customs and customs of various countries.

After Li Ji's introduction, Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has finished listening, and then we will meet the envoys from these surrounding countries! By the way, are the interpreters ready?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the interpreters for the languages ​​of the envoys are ready to wait in the palace!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Very well, let the envoys from all over the world see you!"

The eunuchs immediately conveyed the holy orders one by one. This was the first time since the founding of the Qian state that so many foreign envoys came to the court. The scene and grand ceremony were unprecedented.

Soon, seven or eight foreign envoys came in from outside the hall in groups under the guidance of the eunuch, and they were all followed by an attendant.

These envoys saluted Zhao Junsheng according to their own customs and etiquette.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand with a smile: "Everyone is free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the envoys said loudly in their own languages.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Who is the envoy of the attached country?"

After listening to the interpreter's translation, an envoy stood up and saluted Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan: "I am Mu He, a subject of the King Fu, the political officer of my king, and the chief of the tribe. My king ordered me to come to see His Majesty, and brought him our country's special products: highland barley, wheat, cattle, horses, white pheasants, and some gold and silver. Please accept it! My king hopes to become a vassal of Daqian , under the protection of Dagan, willing to pay tribute to Dagan from generation to generation!"

Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw that Mu He was wearing a round bowl-shaped fur hat, a fur fur, cowhide boots, a gold necklace, and gold bracelets on his wrists.

Daqian is now beyond the reach of the deep plateau, even if he wants to station troops, he may not be able to defend it. Now these small countries on the plateau are willing to submit to them, and it will save Qianguo from sending heavy troops to guard against them, which will waste national power. This is what Zhao Junsheng wishes for.

He smiled and agreed: "The king of the Fuguo has a heart, and I agree with the Fuguo's vassal. Later, the envoy will go to Honglu Temple to discuss specific matters with Li Ji!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
