Rebirth of the third flower queen

Xiao Xieyi said that he wanted peace talks, and the few families with the most military merits won the awards and did not say a word, and the voice of the peace faction immediately became louder, and the matter was settled like this.It took a lot of time to discuss the officials in charge of the negotiation. Xiao Xieyi did not want to fight, but he didn’t want to be like the previous dynasty, who obviously won the battle and sent the princess and gold and silver to make peace with others. What, he doesn't owe the Rouran people anything, so he can't find someone who has been educated and only thinks about the equality of all beings.

The courtiers who are facing upwards, their attitudes are too extreme, and the softness of the Lord has no bottom line. It is simply that as long as the war can be ceased, they can agree to the rhythm of the Rouran people on any condition, and the main battle is too tough. Kill so that not a blade of grass grows, leaving no one behind.When these two kinds of people were sent over to negotiate, the matter could only be messed up. Xiao Xieyi had a headache again. It seemed that his efforts in exchanging the old for the new were far from enough.In the end, it was Feng Qi who recommended someone to Xiao Xieyi, Yu Feng, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, who was the second place in the ninth year of Wanchang.

Xiao Xieyi summoned him for questioning, and found that he was really good, with a tough attitude and a clear bottom line, he would not stir up trouble needlessly, nor would he back down without limit, so he made a final decision on the spot.Within two days, Yu Feng took his troops to the northwest to negotiate with the Rouran people.

Of course, the Rouran people don’t want to talk about it. They have suffered repeated defeats under Long Jun’s command, and they can’t take advantage of it. At this time, Da Zhou must have put forward a lot of conditions for the peace talks. If they agree, they will definitely not be able to overcome it for many years to come. body, so I still want to fight.

Before Yu Fenglin set off, he got Xiao Xieyi's instruction, let the Rouran people ignore them if they don't talk about it, let Long Jun continue to beat them until they want to talk.

Sure enough, after entering October, as the temperature dropped, Rouran people couldn't hold on anymore.Winter in the north came early, but it was still in early October, when the first snow fell, covering the entire grassland in white.The grassland has been in drought for more than half a year, and many livestock died of starvation. People's lives are very difficult, let alone what to do to prepare for the winter. Seeing that the situation is not right, the Rouran royal family finally agreed to peace talks.

When the peace talks are delayed until this time, the right to speak is naturally on Da Zhou's side. Yu Feng cracklingly raised a bunch of conditions, and the officials sent by Rouran couldn't help but stare. Is this the attitude of the Central Plains people to negotiate? They might as well just rob them.

Needless to say, the first round of negotiations ended in failure, Yu Feng was not in a hurry, it was Rouran who went through the winter hungry, not him.The King of Handan has been operating in the northwest for so many years, and the conditions in the border town are still acceptable. I haven't seen the eldest princess here for more than a year.

"Ajun, do you think Rouran people can really agree to the conditions put forward by the emperor?" Xiao Yurong didn't sympathize with Rouran people, but she really felt that if she was Rouran people, she would rather fight to the end than fight to the death. Will agree to the negotiating conditions proposed by Xiao Xieyi.

It is easy to say that Wang Ting retreated a thousand miles. The grassland is boundless, and Rouran people live by water. It is not a big problem to go further west. Anyway, their horses are fast, and they can fight back no matter how far they retreat. The open border proposed by Xieyi, the two sides conduct mutual market.

This condition seems fair, but it is not. During the previous dynasty, the Rouran people were just a small tribe on the grassland. The Uzi people ruled the entire grassland. The northwest border of the previous dynasty was also harassed by them. , as a last resort, launched a sugar-coated cannonball.

The royal family of the previous dynasty was very polite to the Uzi people. They sent the princess and food, and the two sides opened the border to each other, which was called polite.After a long time, the Uzi people don't want to float on the grassland anymore. It doesn't matter if they don't have enough food. They just need to exchange it with the Central Plains people. They have horses.

With this method, the former dynasty, which was extremely short of horses, formed its own cavalry in a daze. Their trade with the Uzi people was also increasing, and the conditions became more and more harsh, but the Uzi people had no choice. If the two parties cut off contact, they will only suffer worse.

The Rouran people took advantage of the gradual decline of the Uzi people and the change of dynasties in the Central Plains, and they had no time to take care of their development.They have learned the lessons of the Uzi people and are determined not to interact with the Central Plains people. They are too cunning, and they will only suffer losses if they deal with them.

"Why don't you agree? If you agree, you can have food. If you don't agree, they won't be able to survive this winter." Long Jun thinks that Xiao Xieyi's method is good. Rouran people commit crimes all the year round. It's not easy to guard against thieves every day.

If you can control the lifeline of Rouran people in your hands like the previous dynasty, so that they dare not act rashly, the little things you give will be much less than the cost of fighting with them, and for Rouran For humans, this is the difference between immediate death and slow death.

People are afraid of death. Isn't there a common saying among the people that a good death is worse than a bad life? That's what King Rouran thinks.

His army can't compete with the Dazhou army that is waiting in full battle. King Rouran doesn't know it, but the drought this year is so severe that his people can hardly survive. Only war can divert the conflict and let them see Hope to live.

So since the beginning of the year, they have launched attacks on Yumen Pass more than once, but the harvest is not as big as expected.

After more than half a year of fighting, the Rouran people did not grab much, and many people and horses folded in. In addition, the cold winter was coming. The emperor of the Great Zhou chose this time for peace talks, because he saw that they had no way out. Although there was a loss, the Great Zhou In fact, it is above Rouran, but they have a large territory, more people, more food and grass, and they can afford it. They don't have such a deep foundation, and they didn't have enough food. After losing a few battles in a row, The morale of the army is a little messed up. Those who want to retreat, those who want to escape, have everything.

So no matter how harsh Xiao Xieyi's conditions were, King Rouran had no choice but to let the officials under him play around, just to get as much benefit as possible.It's a pity that the negotiating officer sent by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was simply not willing to enter. It doesn't matter if you don't agree to his conditions.The first snow stopped for less than two days, and the second snow fell again. The north wind whizzed past, and the sky and the earth were all white. Rouran's life became more and more difficult, so the negotiation had to be restarted.

The two sides chattered back and forth, and by the end of October, it was basically a deal.King Rouran asked people to settle the matter, because the negotiations dragged on for half a month, and they starved to death a lot of livestock. If they had known earlier, it would be better to agree to the conditions of Emperor Da Zhou from the beginning, and everyone was happy.

At the end of the negotiation, King Rouran made a point that in order to express the sincerity of both parties, they hoped to get married.Yu Feng was stunned, he couldn't make the decision on this matter, Da Zhou didn't have the habit of getting married with a princess, so he hurriedly sent a letter back to Beijing, asking Xiao Xieyi to make a decision.

Xiao Xiyi got angry when he received the letter. There was no mistake. Rouran still wanted to get married. His princesses were raised by thousands of pampers. Not to mention that there are no candidates of the right age. Married to a place as desolate as the grassland.

However, the views of the ministers of the DPRK and China are different. They generally believe that there is a fight and a talk, but it is just a marriage. There is nothing that cannot be agreed. The Uzi fighters in the previous dynasty have always had the upper hand. So many true and false princesses have passed.

The emperor's daughter is too young to get married, so that's even better. There are still girls in the clan, so take one as an adopted daughter, make her a princess, and marry her. It will save a lot of trouble, and King Rouran also said, It was a marriage between the two parties, and they also sent the princess over.

"You dear ones mean that if you are not my daughter, you can send it there to suffer." The courtiers were so unanimous that Xiao Xieyi slapped the table angrily, "The girl from the clan is also from our Xiao family. Daughter, I do not agree."

The differences between the two sides were too great to reach a reunification, so Xiao Xieyi retreated angrily, and did not forget to complain to Feng Qi when she arrived at Qifeng Palace.

After entering October, Feng Qi's belly started to bulge, Xiao Xieyi didn't let him go to the Ministry of War very often, and had people report anything, anyway, he was not the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War didn't have to rely on him.Feng Qi has no objection to this. His identity is first of all a queen. Compared with the soon-to-be-born prince, those matters in the Ministry of War can indeed be put aside first, and he can stay in the palace to raise his baby with peace of mind. Naturally, the news is not as well-informed as before.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. You just have to disagree with the marriage. Why make things difficult for yourself." Feng Qi definitely disapproves of the marriage. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been almost no princesses who married out. The only exception was during Xuanzong's reign. One day, the crown prince of the Yue Kingdom was studying in Beijing, and he admired Emperor Xuanzong's seventh princess so much that he made the proposal.At that time, the relationship between Da Zhou and Yue State was good, and there was no war involved. Emperor Xuanzong had to seek the consent of the seventh princess before marrying her to Yue State, and later became the queen of Yue State.

"Why don't I agree? Didn't they say that it is okay to adopt any adopted daughter? I will accept the daughter of the one who makes the most trouble. No one but me can decide the marriage of the daughter of the Xiao family." Xiao Xieyi is not It can't be seen that the so-called adopted daughter named Princess Feng by the officials actually has a purpose, that is Xiao Xiange's daughter, Xiao Huanong, the princess of Wuyang County.Xiao Huanong is ten years old this year, although she is a little young, but with Rouran's customs, her marriage will not be less than two years away, her status and status, Princess Feng and her marriage will not be abrupt.

After all, there was such a precedent in the previous dynasty, that is, the royal family was reluctant to part with their own daughter, and named the maid as a princess, but was rejected by others, causing a lot of trouble, almost fighting again, and finally married a real princess who was born in the first place. Only then did the matter be resolved.

Xiao Huanong herself is the princess, her status is not low, so it will not cause such consequences, and her own father is dead, the younger brother who inherits the throne is still young, and the Empress Dowager Wei is going to worship Buddha in Kunyang Mountain, it seems that she will not come back No one will have any objections to marrying her to Rouran.

The courtiers' calculations were very good, but they were a bit wrong, and Xiao Xieyi protected his weaknesses very well.Xiao Xiange opposed him and made him unhappy, so that he was banned until death, but no matter what, Xiao Xiange is his own brother, he can deal with him if he is disobedient, and the children he left behind can only be good enough. If you are obedient, he will definitely take care of you and will not allow others to bully you.He doesn't know what those people's calculations are, they think that if he despises Xiao Xiange, he can use his orphan daughter as a tool for marriage, it's really a good idea.

"Your Majesty means that you want to accept the courtier's daughter as a righteous daughter?" Feng Qi was stunned. Isn't this way too capricious.He was sure that as long as Xiao Xieyi said this, people would nod their heads in agreement. Not every father loves his daughter like Xiao Xieyi, giving up a daughter, changing the title of princess, and getting the royal family's favor for the family, Most of the courtiers in the court will calculate in their hearts, especially those families with many daughters, it is even easier to give up a beautiful concubine daughter.

"It's up to them. Heaven's sins are forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot live." In fact, if someone hadn't made too much noise and didn't take the princess of the Xiao family seriously, Xiao Xieyi would have rejected Rourou directly. However, for the king, what kind of marriage should be made, just negotiate the terms, no need to trouble.

As a result, some helpless people jumped out, insisting on the benefits of getting married, and Xiao Xiangyi was so angry that he wanted to kill people. Whether the two countries would fight or not, it had nothing to do with whether there was a princess married. Fighting, just pity those princesses, it's not easy to be a man in the middle.

Feng Qi sighed, and didn't say anything else. I don't know which girl is so unlucky that her father and brother will push her out.

The next day when I went to the court, Xiao Xieyi made it clear that it is fine to get married, but whoever of you can choose a righteous daughter or younger sister for me, the daughter of the Xiao family, I do not agree.Xiao Xieyi originally thought that since he had said so much, there would be no one who didn't have eyes.

Unexpectedly, within a short while, seven or eight people stood up, saying that they were willing to dedicate their daughters or granddaughters, and that it was their own glory.

Xiao Xieyi was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of situation to happen, but Junwu joked, since he said that he wanted to adopt a righteous daughter or a righteous sister, and some people were willing to give up their daughters or granddaughters, he had to ask these families to report the list Come up, since you have a choice, you must choose a good one.

As Feng Qi is a queen, the job of picking someone is naturally his.The procedure for selecting a princess is similar to that of a talent show. Names, backgrounds, and portraits are also reported first for people to see. Because there are not many candidates, there are only a dozen or so in total, so there is no pre-selection, and they report directly to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi had very little contact with other families, except for accepting their worship during the New Year and holidays, she had never interacted in private. Judging from their grandfather's or father's name.

Among them, there was a name that caught Feng Qi's mind.Gu Min, the granddaughter of Gu Ze, the concubine daughter of Gu Juncheng, the cousin of Gu Ao and Gu Wei.How could the Gu family join in the fun? The Empress Dowager had long since stopped doing business, and the rest of the Gu family didn't look like they could do such a foolish trick.

Thinking of her friendship with Gu Wei, Feng Qi quietly asked Xiao Xieyi, what happened to Gu Min, and why Gu Juncheng reported his daughter.Xiao Xieyi expressed ignorance. When it came to peace talks and marriage, the Gu family brothers had no clear attitude and basically followed him. But this time when they said that they wanted to adopt a righteous daughter or a righteous sister as a princess, Gu Juncheng stood up.Although Xiao Xieyi couldn't figure it out, it wasn't that this matter was voluntary by the Gu family, and it wasn't forced by him, so his point of view was very simple, as long as Gu Min meets the conditions, there is no special treatment.

Feng Qi couldn't ask any questions from Xiao Xieyi, so she summoned these ten or so girls, chatted for a few words respectively, and then he discovered that these little girls were not all forced by their families. Several of them were voluntary, including Gu Min.

Among these girls, Gu Min's appearance is not the best, she can only be regarded as above-average, but her conversation and temperament are far from comparable to others, Feng Qi even feels that even Xiao Yurong standing here may not be overwhelming If you tell her that she is a princess, no one will doubt it.

Feng Qi chatted with Gu Min with a curious attitude, and found out that Gu Ze was an official at home a few years ago, and he wanted to raise children to play when he was really bored, but Gu Ao joined the army, Gu Wei entered the palace, and Gu Zheng was another It's really disappointing, only Gu Min, the little granddaughter, is free to accompany him every day, otherwise, how could a little concubine have such talent and temperament, and it turned out that Gu Ze personally came out of it.Feng Qi was a bit reluctant to marry such an outstanding girl to Rouran, but Gu Min was full of expectations for the future.

Because she was the first queen's cousin, Xiao Xieyi asked Queen Mother Su to come forward and take Gu Min as her adopted daughter, titled Princess Yongping.

Empress Dowager Su had no children in her life, and she was very happy to have such a daughter in her old age, even though it was a nominal one, but she was very sad when she thought that Gu Min was going to marry Rouran. Otherwise, why would Xiao Xieyi accept a righteous sister, but she still couldn't help but asked Xiao Xieyi if the marriage could be delayed a little bit. It's really not easy to go west in winter.

Xiao Xieyi reassured her that Gu Min would not leave for the time being, he and Feng Qi would prepare a dowry for her, at least wait until spring next year, when the ice and snow melted, before sending her on the road, anyway, Gu Min is only 16 years old this year, next year It's only seventeen, so it's not too late.

Empress Dowager Su felt relieved, An Xin prepared a dowry for Gu Min, and Su Yu was also pulled by her.Su Yu didn't bother with these things, so he naturally hid as far away as possible, but Wei Lang always came to look for him after returning to the palace, and he had nowhere to hide.

Xiao Xiyi was not in a hurry, she wanted to keep Gu Min in the palace for the new year, but King Rouran was in a hurry. Hearing that the Emperor Da Zhou was willing to marry him, he immediately demoted the original queen to concubine concubine, and even gave birth to her A son and a daughter were sent to Shangjing to show his sincerity to Da Zhou.

Indeed, King Rouran was very sincere, but Xiao Xiyi was still very upset when she received Yu Feng's memorial.Fanbang's princess, what is he going to do here, make a concubine for decoration? Although Feng Qi didn't express any dissatisfaction, he was still very unhappy, how many people were an eyesore.

Later, Xiao Xieyi thought about it for two days and felt that something was wrong. He didn't feel comfortable entering the palace because of Princess Rouran. He clearly panicked when he saw that Feng Qi didn't respond to the news. He really didn't care. Well, more people from the palace will come out.

Back then, when Gu Wei was still the queen, every draft was very calm, with an attitude of having nothing to do with her.Xiao Xieyi was very satisfied after reading it, and felt that this was the aura that an empress should have.

But the year before last during the Southern Tour, passing through Qingyang Mansion, due to a mistake made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xiao Xieyi and Feng Qi had a misunderstanding.

It was only then that Xiao Xieyi realized that it was fun to watch someone he liked jealousy. If Feng Qi saw that he had accepted the beauty sent by Jiangnan, she would be as happy in her heart as she was on her face. This time, he didn't respond.

In order to find out the most accurate news, Xiao Xieyi even bribed Qiu Ran, who was banned by Feng Qi, with candy, and asked his father if he was unhappy recently, especially when no one was watching, Feng Qi had a reserved personality, and it was very difficult to understand what was going on in her heart. Show it less on the face.

Qiu Ran thought for a long time, then shook her head vigorously.A few days ago, my little brother started to move, and my father was very happy. He secretly ate too much candy, but he didn't get angry.How could the father think that he was in a bad mood? It's really strange. Qiu Ran wrote "the world of adults is really complicated" all over his face.

Xiao Xieyi couldn't find out the situation from her son, so she went to ask her daughter again, but was laughed at by Danyang.Danyang smiled and said to him: "Father is so stupid, if you want to know anything, just ask daddy directly, why ask me, I'm not daddy, how would I know."

Xiao Xiangyi thought about it, and felt that her daughter's words were very reasonable, so she really went to ask Feng Qi if she didn't love her anymore, but she didn't respond when she heard that Princess Rouran was going to enter the palace.Feng Qi was stunned by the question, it took her a long time to react, and she burst out laughing.

"Why would Your Majesty think so?" Feng Qi was puzzled, he thought he was already very honest with Xiao Xinyi.

"You were still jealous of Mei Niang and Su Niang at the beginning, but now that King Rouran sent his daughter here, why aren't you jealous?"

When Xiao Xieyi said this, sisters Meiniang and Su Niang were waiting outside, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard it.Last year, Anzhi Tinglan was released from the palace by Feng Qi, and he was still in charge of marrying a very good family.Now, the number one lady in Qifeng Palace is Yu Yuqingqing, and then there are their sisters.They have been with Feng Qi for two years, and they can understand that the emperor is loyal and unshakable to the empress, rather than playing other ideas, it is better to be loyal to the empress, and there will always be a good future in the future.

"If Your Majesty accepts Mei Niang and Su Niang, he must be interested in their beauty. If there is one, there is another, and I will naturally mind." Feng Qi suppressed a smile, leaned on Xiao Xieyi's shoulder and said: "But Princess Rouran , isn't she a gift from King Rouran?" Feng Qi never minded people or things that did not threaten her, and besides, the marriage was mutual, and King Rouran vacated the queen's position for the sake of the two countries. He really doesn't care about what kind of concubine or concubine he will give to Princess Rouran.

"I've heard people say that Princess Rouran is a great beauty." Unlike the Central Plains, Rouran pays attention to being well-matched in marriage. The queens of Rouran basically only have one requirement, which is to be as beautiful as a flower, so the princess of his family has the same appearance. Very secure.

"There are so many beauties in the world. If your majesty really wants to like the new and dislike the old, I can't stop you. As long as your majesty's heart is with me, why should I be jealous?" Feng Qi said frankly that he trusted Xiao Xieyi, and Xiao Xieyi was in full bloom when he heard it. Princess Rouran was immediately forgotten.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Yu Feng brought the princess of King Rouran and the little prince back to Beijing, attracting everyone's attention.

Xiao Xieyi summoned them the next day, and then laughed. The beauty is a beauty. The rumors are true, but Princess Rouran is only 12 years old, and the little prince is only seven years old. Needless to say, the so-called concubine Alright, let's take care of people first.

Danyang followed Feng Qi, and also saw the siblings who came from afar, she secretly said to Feng Qi: "Daddy, that little prince is so beautiful, even more beautiful than his sister, I like him very much, can you please?" Leave him to play with me."

Several years later, when Princess Rouran grew up, Xiao Xieyi betrothed her to a county king of the clan as his concubine. The princess was beautiful and raised in the palace for many years, basically getting used to the customs of the Central Plains. The two loved each other and loved each other. Had a good time.

As for that beautiful little prince, Xiao Xieyi hated him so much that he almost chopped off his head, because of him, his son and daughter turned against each other, and the most hateful thing was that he didn't want any of them. It got even worse.
