The old east wind comes to dream
Chapter 87
A day later, Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan arrived at the destination of their trip, Mocheng.
Mocheng is located in the northwest border, not far from the Western Regions. There are many merchants from the Western Regions here, conducting trade with the Central Plains.They brought jewels, jade, cattle and sheep fur from the Western Regions, and exchanged them for tea and silk from the Central Plains, as well as other living supplies, and brought them back to the Western Regions for sale.Therefore, although Mocheng can be considered affluent, the population is mixed, and many merchants have many guards and private servants. Therefore, Qiduo did not want to cause more troubles. When attacking Dazhao this time, he also bypassed this place.
It's just a more important point, there is a person here who makes Qiduo feel jealous.
This person is the person Gu Zizhan and the others are going to meet this time.
The largest Hu merchant in Northwest China, Hu Yanxiang.
When Hu Yanxiang saw the red agate ring in Gu Zizhan's hand, he looked at Duan Yong behind her again, suddenly burst into laughter, and said repeatedly: "Fate! It's really a fate destined by heaven!"
Gu Zizhan nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Huyan——no, you should call your Excellency Prince Huridu." The smile on Huyanxiang's face remained unchanged, and Gu Zizhan continued: "I think the fate between you and me should be the same. Your Excellency must have contributed to it. At the very least, your Excellency guessed my identity much earlier than I guessed yours."
Hu Yanxiang laughed loudly, "Where, I didn't guess the identity of the nobleman until I heard the bad news in Jiangbei and the rare onyx ring was yours. After all, if you talk about pretending to be dead Well, my experience is always richer."
Gu Zizhan also smiled slightly, she didn't believe that Hu Yanxiang was guessed by herself, thinking that he had been dormant for so many years, and many forces had infiltrated into him.There should also be his spies in Dazhao's capital.So, he was no longer polite, and said bluntly: "That's true. After all, according to the rumors, Hu Ridu, the eldest son of the old Khan King of the Rong tribe, has been dead for more than ten years. After all, my short time is a Can't beat you."
Hu Yanxiang didn't care what Gu Zizhan said. Eleven years ago, the old Khan of the Rong tribe passed away, and the eldest prince Hu Ridu, who had been appointed as the next Khan, was assassinated by his younger brother Qiduo, and it was rumored that he died under a knife.But in fact, at that time, Hu Ridu escaped death under the guard of the dead soldiers, and then went to the Western Regions. He wandered for many years, changed his name and surname, and became Hu Yanxiang, a wealthy Hu merchant.
But as he gradually gained a firm foothold in the northwest, his former subordinates gradually found them.In addition, Qiduo has been indulging in pleasure and moodiness in recent years, and has increasingly oppressed ordinary people. He will kill slaves at every turn, and even robbed the wives and daughters of nobles in the clan many times, and has gradually lost popular support.As time passed, many Rong people began to miss the time when the old Khan was there, and they also felt sympathy for the great prince Hu Ridu who was killed by Qiduo.
Qido has been looking for him ever since he knew that Huri was not dead.But when his people found Huridu, Huridu already had his own influence in the Western Regions. After several assassinations were avoided by him, Qiduo knew that it was no longer possible to kill Huridu. easy.He sent troops to attack Dazhao this time because he wanted to take advantage of foreign aggression to divert the increasingly intensified conflicts in the clan, and at the same time restore his prestige in the clan.
It is precisely because of Qiduo's fear of Hu Ridu and Hu Ridu's influence in the Rong tribe that Gu Zizhan came to Hu Yanxiang at this time.He just wanted to help him return to the Rong tribe, regain his power, and deal a final fatal blow to Qiduo, who was insane.
But all of this has two prerequisites.First, in the future, Hu Yanxiang's children and grandchildren will no longer be enemies of Dazhao.Second, the Rong people need to profess their vassals to the Dazhao, select the noble children of the clan to join the Dazhao to study the kingship, and pay tribute to the Dazhao every year.
For these two points, Hu Yanxiang agreed very readily.
Now that the Rong people have been abused by Qiduo, if they want to recover to the point where they can compete with Dazhao, it may be impossible for him in his whole life.That being the case, this condition is nothing to him at all.As for the children and grandchildren, at that time, he had already closed his eyes and returned to the mountain of God, so what did he care about.
Besides, honoring ministers and paying tribute, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times for the Rong people.For more than a hundred years, the Rong people have always been like this. When the Central Plains regime is strong, they will pay tribute to them in exchange for some benefits to recharge their energy. Once there is war in the Central Plains or the national power is weak, they will show their minions and take the opportunity to invade. plunder.As for Dazhao's dispatch of a peace envoy to the Rong people, Hu Yanxiang didn't take it to heart. When the peace envoy arrives, they have a large number of Rong people, so they still have to listen to themselves!
However, this is just Hu Yanxiang's thoughts. For Gu Zizhan, she thinks more far-reaching.
After the two parties made an agreement, Gu Zizhan sent Duan Yong and Liu Mulan to lead two thousand soldiers from the Huang Nie Army and the Xiaofeng Camp, as well as five thousand elite soldiers from the Jokhang Army. Return to the Rong family.
Before leaving, Gu Zizhan found Duan Yong and Liu Mulan and told them carefully.
After making arrangements for the march, Duan Yong asked Gu Zizhan about his future plans for the Rong people.
Gu Zizhan thought for a while and said: "The war between the Rong people and the Central Plains has lasted for hundreds of years. Now, it is time to completely eliminate hidden dangers. After I return to Beijing, I will go down to ask His Majesty through the Crown Prince. Send government officials to the Rong people to teach the Dazhao culture, formulate etiquette laws, and eliminate bad habits. At the same time, the Rong people are allowed to move their children inward.”
Duan Yong and Liu Mulan are both smart people, and after hearing what Gu Zizhan said, they knew her plan.It is conceivable that in the near future, the day when the Rong people will be completely integrated with Dazhao will not be too far away.When there is a unified concept of etiquette and values, mutual affection and respect, our land and our people will naturally become one family.
In the end, Gu Zizhan looked at the two of them again, and said, "The next step, the growth of the Phoenix Nirvana Army will be the key point, and Mulan probably won't be able to stay in the Rong Clan for long. Cong Yi, when you really gain a foothold in the Rong Clan, it will be time for you to become stronger." I will strongly recommend you to be the first pacification envoy to His Highness."
When they heard Gu Zizhan's arrangement, they were all excited.It can be said that Gu Zizhan truly made the best use of his talents after considering their respective ideas.
This time the soldiers following Duan Yong and Liu Mulan, Gu Zizhan had sent a letter to the prince, and after reorganizing the team, they were already waiting outside Yunzhou City.
On the way back to Yunzhou City, Hu Yanxiang and Gu Zizhan walked side by side.
Thinking that he was about to return to the old family and regain power, Hu Yanxiang was also a little excited.Unable to restrain himself, Hu Yanxiang smiled and said to Gu Zizhan: "I never imagined that in my lifetime, I would be able to go back to the Rong clan in an open and honest manner. All this is all thanks to the help of your son. I will never forget your great kindness. "
Gu Zizhan smiled faintly, "Qi Duo's military aggression has caused great harm to Dazhao, and it has also caused countless deaths and injuries to the people of the Rong people. I only hope that after you go back, our two clans can keep peace forever, and the people will not suffer anymore."
Hu Yanxiang laughed, and praised: "Ziwei Tianxing is really different from ordinary people! I can see you in my lifetime. It's a great fortune! After I go back, I will let my clansmen worship day and night, and use the aura of the fairy to protect my son of the Rong clan." civil!"
Gu Zizhan was shocked, why, the Ziwei Xingjun's theory, and even his so-called Ziwei's destiny, spread to the Rong people outside the northern border!
There was no surprise on his face, Gu Zizhan just smiled and asked, "Oh? How did you know about this?"
Hu Yanxiang only thought that Gu Zizhan didn't want to say anything, so he didn't care about it. Instead, he lowered his voice and said, "A few years ago, there were some rumors in the northern border. King Yu, oh, it’s your father’s residence. At that time, this matter was extremely secret, and I also learned about it through a hidden guard of Qiduo. However, just a year ago, the rumor became much more specific. Mr. Wei Xing is a heavenly god, and his relatives in the mortal world are incompatible with each other, so they will suffer some hardships."
"So, after I confirmed your identity, I didn't believe those rumors about your death in Jiangbei."
"Just a month ago, another news came from the capital, saying that you are Ziwei Xingjun who descended to the mortal world, so you were able to turn evil into good luck and drive away the evil wolf of Qiduo. Also, those women around you Soldiers are also angels descending to earth to help Lord Xing sweep away the chaos in the world."
He laughed again, and Hu Yanxiang lowered his voice, "Since you are the reincarnation of Ziwei Xingjun, then naturally, you want to become the real emperor in this world! Otherwise, how dare I just listen to your few words and give away my wealth and wealth?" Is your life entrusted to you? After all, others don’t know, but I know that Qido has a very close relationship with your father in the mortal world. If it weren’t for your status, I wouldn’t believe it.”
Hearing what he said, Gu Zizhan's heart was turned upside down!
The rumors are strange!Three times, there are actually three versions!What's more, if even Hu Yanxiang already knew about it, I'm afraid that these rumors have already spread in Dazhao!Emperor Tianshun and the prince are still there, these rumors are definitely not a good thing for her!
Who is it that wants to put her to death at this moment of victory!
A person suddenly flashed in Gu Zizhan's mind, but he couldn't figure it out, what good would it do him?
As for the question in Gu Zizhan's mind, Gu Quan also asked her that day after listening to Daoist Yuan Hui.
**********
"What's the benefit of Daoist Priest's idea to me?"
Gu Quan looked at Taoist Priest Yuan Hui, and guessed in his heart the purpose of her coming alone to find him.For Yuan Xu and Yuan Hui, a pair of brothers and sisters, Gu Quan has always been in contact with Daoist Yuan Xu.And because Chu Lan turned his back on his faction, Gu Quan was somewhat wary of Taoist Yuan Hui.
Hearing Gu Quan's question, Daoist Yuan Hui pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "My lord doesn't need to be so wary of the poor Taoist. In front of the poor Taoist, you can talk with peace of mind."
Gu Quan frowned, "In other words, the Taoist priest is also very clear about what is planned in this king's heart." He couldn't help but sneered, "But your good disciple has ruined this king's affairs several times! What do you have to say about this?"
Daoist Yuan Hui didn't panic at all, on the contrary, he smiled lightly, and instead of answering, asked: "Those in the south of the Yangtze River are just small fish and shrimps, so the prince will give up, so why not?"
Gu Quan couldn't help being a little surprised when she said the central thing.He raised those thousands of private soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, but even Daoist Yuan Xu didn't know about it, so how could this always low-key female crown in front of him be able to tell the truth?
Could it be that Chu Lan told her about this?Then, this person in front of her, and her annoying apprentice, would have other plans?
Mocheng is located in the northwest border, not far from the Western Regions. There are many merchants from the Western Regions here, conducting trade with the Central Plains.They brought jewels, jade, cattle and sheep fur from the Western Regions, and exchanged them for tea and silk from the Central Plains, as well as other living supplies, and brought them back to the Western Regions for sale.Therefore, although Mocheng can be considered affluent, the population is mixed, and many merchants have many guards and private servants.
