female concubine

In late June, the leader of the Wuzang tribe was beheaded by the generals of the Song army. The army's morale collapsed and he fled behind the enemy, which disrupted the formation of the Xia army. In addition, there were conflicts within the Xia army, so Mingjin withdrew his troops to Huanzhou in order to reduce the results of the battle.

The soldiers carried back the body of the Meizang family, and there was a piercing wound on the chest. Wei Mu Shanxi hid his face and couldn't bear to look at it when he saw it, and said, "Put it in the coffin and order someone to carry it back to Liangzhou."

"Yes."

After more than ten years of dormancy, he poured all his power into attacking the Song Dynasty, but ended in failure. Not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, how should he face the people when he returns to this battle? !"

"Before I sent troops to the east, I ordered people to make four divinations, scorching the fire, laying bamboo on the ground, burning incense with sheep at night, burning grain and setting fire in quiet places, slaughtering sheep in the morning, and striking bowstrings with arrows. These four divinations are all A sign of victory, when Master taught me how to use soldiers, he didn't teach me how to resist people's hearts. I was not defeated by using soldiers. This point... Central Plains people's centralization is much better, and I finally understand why the eldest prince respects the Han system. "

"The eldest prince has lofty aspirations, and he certainly doesn't want to be the king of a small country."

Wei Mu Shanxi put his hands behind his back, "What he wants to do has never been king."

In July, Wei Mu Danxi received a secret report from Xingqing Kuai Malai that the old Khan was critically ill, and the kings of the concubine wanted to launch a coup to seize the heir. The frontier sent envoys to discuss peace with Song Dynasty.

In August, Wei Mu Shanxi's class teacher returned to the court and returned to Xingqing.

Xingqing is located next to the Yellow River on the easternmost side of Hexi. In addition to the party aristocrats, there are Uighurs, Tubo and Han people.

"parking."

The carriage stopped in front of a vendor, and a woman alighted from the carriage, her white boots were stepping on the loess, the woman took a fancy to a golden mask with half of her face, picked it up and tried it out and found it fit, so she sent someone to buy it.

"Take off your face scarf and replace it with this one." As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to take it off, but the king of Chu stretched out his hand to block her.

"I will do it myself."

"You Central Plains people are good at everything, but I don't like being too rigid."

The king of Chu took off the face scarf, but the scars on his cheeks still had conspicuous marks.

Putting on the mask handed over by Princess Xixia, only half of her face was exposed, Wei Muhanling stared at her in a daze, she was obviously a woman with exquisite features, it was hard to imagine that there was a knife wound left by the war under the covered half of her face.

Seeing King Chu looking sideways at Xingqing Street with a very interested look, he asked, "How is the capital of Great Xia comparable to Tokyo City of your Wei Song Dynasty?"

King Chu lifted the curtain of the carriage, just stared out of the window without replying.

"Oh, I forgot that you are a frontier citizen. Maybe you have never been to Tokyo, and I have never been to Tokyo. The envoys sent by the king said that Tokyo is a very big city. I can't see the end at a glance, if I have a chance, I will definitely go and see." Soon, she lost her mind again, "But I think, I'm afraid I won't be able to in this life."

The King of Chu turned his head, "As long as the Princess wants to, why not?"

"The envoy said that your emperor in the Central Plains lives in the palace city called the Forbidden City, where he has been controlling all the people in the world all his life, but he has been controlled by all the people in the world and cannot go out for the rest of his life."

"Does this have something to do with the princess wanting to go to Tokyo?"

Wei Muhanling lowered his head and smiled lightly, "When the king was young, he took advantage of the chaos and led his troops to expand eastward. After taking your Hexi, he also learned the Han system to build palaces. Since then, the women in the harem have also been locked in that small palace. In the city for a lifetime."

The Princess of Xixia fled from marriage to the army, and now that the truce is going back, the marriage must be inevitable no matter what, the King of Chu lowered his head, "I grew up in Tokyo, and I was forced to go to the border."

"Being helpless, is it your emperor?"

The King of Chu nodded, "Tokyo City does not have the grandeur of the grasslands, but only the melodious sounds of the Goulan Washeri, and the intrigue in the temple."

"It seems that it is the same in any country."

"The princess doesn't seem to like restraint, and he doesn't like the etiquette system of the Central Plains, why should he be bound?"

The king of Chu seemed to have touched Wei Muhanling's sadness, so she leaned against the car window in a daze, "I don't like it, but there are people who like it."

The carriage stopped in front of the Yamen of Xingqing Mansion, "Master, we're here."

The Yamen of Xingqing Prefecture governs the Six Caos, which are in charge of the country's military affairs. Xixia officials are all wearing belts, and they also use official uniforms of different colors to distinguish official ranks.

Wei Muhanling brought a group of maids into the room, but none of them dared to stop them, instead they clasped their fists and bowed to him.

"Where is Xifeng Yiwei, my ah?"

The official of the Yiwei Division who was in charge of the Suwei Army put his fist on his shoulder, "Go back to the princess, Wei Mumo Ningling is in the conference hall."

During this period, because the king of Chu wore a golden mask, he attracted the attention of many Xixia officials.

Then Wei Muhanling asked the other waitresses to wait outside the hall, and she

Then he took the king of Chu into the hall. The architectural pattern is the local style of Hexi and also has the flavor of Uighur.

I have seen Wei Mu Shanxi a few times from a distance, and when I got closer, Wei Mu Shanxi was taller than the imperial guard standing next to the emperor, but it was the map beside him that attracted the King of Chu.

A huge map of Xixia is placed in the side hall, and since Hexi was taken from the Central Plains, it has lost control of this area.

When Wei Mu Shanxi saw his daughter coming in, he dragged her to the main hall. The King of Chu only took a quick look and didn't dare to stop his gaze for a moment, fearing that something might happen.

"That's her?" Wei Mu Shanxi looked sideways.

"Ah's frightened her."

Seeing the dodge in King Chu's eyes, he raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no special case in my dynasty for women to be officials, not even a bachelor's consultant. If you want to learn things from the Central Plains, I will hire you a Han master someday."

"I do not want."

"It's the same if you let her be your attendant by your side. Why do you have to give her an official?"

"She is a frontier resident who can speak both Chinese and Xixia. I kidnapped her from thousands of miles away, and she was willing to teach me, so I can't treat her badly."

"Bullshit."

-------------------------------------------

In mid-August, the eldest son of Wang married the eldest daughter of Wei Mu's family. At this time, the old King Xia in the palace was already dying of illness.

"Bachelor Wei, I am the official who obtained it for you only through a big marriage."

I escaped from the battlefield and saved my life, and was tied to Xixia to get a nominal bachelor's degree. Of course, wearing men's clothes as a party official was a request made by the King of Chu himself. "Even if the princess doesn't ask me, this marriage can't escape It's open."

Wei Muhan raised his hands, "I don't care, anyway, I promised not to treat you badly and I did. Although this robe has no real power, it can at least keep you from being bullied in the palace. Even I don't know that once you enter What will happen after the palace gate, the palace gate is just a gate, but this gate, once you enter it, you can't get out."

"That day I went with the princess to meet the princess' father. I saw that the accessories on those officials should be high-ranking officials. They are so respectful to the princess. It would be much better for the princess to have his father and family to rely on."

Wei Muhanling sat on the mat in his wedding dress, looked at the makeup on his face in the mirror, "That's because the king is my uncle." Wei Muhanling looked sideways at the King of Chu, "Why does Wei Xueshi think I am an official in Daxia?"

The King of Chu bowed his head and said, "If I said that I just want to experience it, and that I don't want to be trapped in the palace city," he smiled again, "Or if I become an official, I can use this men's uniform to escape back. The main reason is that if you don’t believe me, you can also treat me as a spy and kill me.”

"I won't kill you, because you can't escape. The entire city defense of Xingqing is under the control of my family. Even if a wild goose flies over the tower, I can know it."

This is the capital city of Xixia, which is thousands of miles away from Wei and Song Dynasty. The King of Chu knew that she would never be able to go back without the help of this woman. There should be no one around Ning Ling who understands the affairs of the Central Plains better than me, and I can be by the princess' side, but the princess promised me one condition."

"Conditions?" Wei Muhanling looked up at King Chu, "No one has ever dared to ask me for conditions."

"If the princess refuses to agree, then come back as the princess tied up a mute."

"you..."

"What conditions?"

"When I want to go back, the princess must let me go back, but I won't leave in a short time."

"You can't really work carefully, can you?"

The King of Chu shook his head, "If I worked carefully, why would I appear on the rocky beach half dead in armor and be picked up by the princess? I heard from the girls next to the princess that the eldest prince liked the culture of the Eastern Dynasty, so I was taken away." The Han people came here, and the Princess likes the eldest prince?"

Wei Muhanling turned sideways, pouted, "What's the use of liking, he's looking for that vixen from Ye Li's family, and marrying me just needs my family's support."

"Ye Li?" Chu Wang stroked his smooth chin, "It's the concubine we are going to marry together today."

Today, both families are working together, and the king of Chu seems to have seen Ye Li's team send their daughter to the palace, "If you hire, you will be a wife, if you run, you will be a concubine."

"What do you mean?"

"In my dynasty, if a matchmaker is married and completes the six rites, she is a regular wife equal to her husband. If she holds a palm gift, she is the hostess. If there is no matchmaker and the six rites are not prepared, she is a concubine."

"Xueshi Wei's words seem to be different from what the teacher said before."

"I just translated the words in the Book of Rites, don't take concubines as wives, but in this world, most concubines are spoiled and wives are killed. The princess has the support of the family, and she can do as she pleases before the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, but Wei still wants to remind the county Lord, the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks; the flying birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden."

Seeing Wei Muhan staring blankly at herself, she explained again: "It means that the cunning rabbit is useless when the hunting dog is dead, and will be killed by the owner, cooked and eaten, and the birds will hide away after shooting all the bows and arrows." No, the same is true for people, once they lose their value of use, they will be mercilessly abandoned."

"Instead of wasting your emotions on a person who is not worthy of your liking, the princess should think more about himself and his tribe."

Wei Muhanling looked at her dully.

The king of Chu thought that the princess really took himself seriously, so he looked in the mirror and pretended to be puzzled, "Is there anything on me?"

"You can't be sent by my side on purpose, can you?"

The king of Chu was stunned: "Huh?"

Wei Muhanling shook his head lightly and said, "I've heard this kind of talk for three years, and my ears are getting callused."

"Although some words are annoying, the truth in them is undeniable."

"I know." Wei Muhanling faced the bronze mirror again.

"Princess, the eldest prince is here to greet you."

The king of Chu bowed his waist and helped her up, "Everyone has selfishness, so there is nothing wrong with being selfish." Then he took the heavy golden crown.

Wei Muhanling grabbed the wrist of the king of Chu who was wearing the crown, "The golden crown is vanity, but its weight will overwhelm people. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you are not simple, and you are definitely not an ordinary person. I was hesitant to save you, and I was even inclined not to save you, but in the end I saved you."

The King of Chu withdrew his hand, and he didn't look flustered. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "The princess is really smart."

The author has something to say: I forgot to note that the "big wave" in the previous chapter means "elder brother" in Xixia.

Two Queen Weimu (because of cousin marriage)

The Wuzang family is a non-party nobleman of the Tubo clan in Liangzhou.

Xixia's costumes are almost all learned from murals, and generally inherit the style of Tang Dynasty.

In fact, the manuscript was saved very late, I was just afraid that there would be no time to code after school started.

Compared with seizing the heirloom, governing the country in the second volume will be much more dull. (However, it will involve more etiquette and systems in the Song Dynasty, and of course reforms will be carried out later)
