The shadow of the country

In the blink of an eye, it is now the time of the Waking of Insects, Yilan is gaining the emperor's favor day by day, and Mu Yan's life is still as usual.The two can be together almost every day, and they don't deliberately avoid anything in front of Yijin Qixuan and the others. During this period of time, they also feel very rare and happy.

A year ago, Wu Tao, the general of hussars who was appointed by the emperor with the golden seal and purple ribbon, went to Mongolia and quelled the Turkic rebellion many times, making the Turkic, a rebellious nation, finally bow its head to the Communist Party.In recent days, the Great Khan of Mongolia sent a delegation of envoys to Kyoto, and brought his only daughter, Princess Huimo, with him in order to seek marriage, and presented generous gifts to show his submission.Five days later, Princess Huimo and her envoys will arrive in the capital. The Holy Majesty attaches great importance to this, and decrees that a feast will be held five days later to welcome the princess and her envoys.

Five days later, Emperor Ji Palace.The Huangji Hall is resplendent and magnificent, and it has always been the place where the emperor received his envoys.At present, the emperor is sitting on the dragon chair, with the imposing manner of an emperor.Concubines, princes, and courtiers all sat on both sides of the palace.Yilan is now the emperor's most trusted prince, so she is second only to the prince among the princes.And Mu Yan was also standing behind Yi Lan as a personal servant.

"Your Majesty, Princess Huimo and the Turkic envoys have been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Do you want to announce them into the palace?" An eunuch beside the emperor asked respectfully.

"Xuan." The emperor said majesticly.

"Princess Xuan Huimo, the envoys are here—" the eunuch preached loudly with a long voice.The eunuchs outside the hall repeated that sentence one after another, and the notification sounded from near to far.

Not long after, a girl in Mongolian costume and five or six envoys entered the hall.The princess looked to be only about seventeen or eight years old, her skin was delicate and fair, her eyes were full of vivacity and rebelliousness, her appearance was elegant and unconventional, and she had an air of lightness.

She entered the hall and simply looked around the Golden Luan Hall.When her eyes shifted to the emperor on the dragon chair, she blessed her body slightly: "Hui Mo pays respects to the emperor on behalf of her father, and wishes the emperor's holy body to be safe forever."

After all, the envoys behind her also saluted the emperor with Mongolian etiquette, and presented the gift list of tribute with both hands: "See the emperor for the humble position, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

In fact, the envoys didn't know that according to the rules of the Central Plains, they should kneel three times and kowtow nine times when seeing the emperor, but on the way to Beijing, the princess had repeatedly told them not to kneel and bow when they saw the emperor.Princess Huimo was clever and resourceful since she was a child, and she was the only daughter of the Great Khan, so she was naturally regarded by the Mongolian Great Khan as the apple of his eye.Although Princess Huimo is a daughter, she also inherited the unruly temperament of the Turkic people. The envoys did not dare to disobey the princess, so they did not bow down to the Holy Majesty.

"Why didn't the princess envoys bow down when they saw the Holy Majesty? Could it be that they don't know the etiquette and rules of my dynasty?" At this time, a civil servant sitting in the banquet asked.

"That's right! Besides, my fierce general went out to take back the Turks a year ago. The Mongolian Khan is now a courtier of the Holy Majesty. Why doesn't a Mongolian princess kneel when she sees the Emperor?!" A general responded repeatedly. .

After hearing this, the emperor didn't say much, and only acquiesced to the words of the two courtiers.But looking at the Mongolian princess again, she was not offended by the words of the two courtiers, she just said indifferently: "Father Khan has indeed surrendered to the Communist Party, but it is just because he does not want to start another war and suffers from thousands of people in Turks. Father Khan’s soldiers and horses are indeed far less numerous and strong than the Holy Majesty’s soldiers, but my Turkic soldiers are all loyal, and they will fight to the death without bloodshed on the battlefield. If the Holy Majesty wants me to completely surrender the Turks, he must convince us. I believe that the Central Plains is full of talented people, and if you convince people with virtue, you can only solve problems with war, right?"

After hearing Princess Huimo's words, all the people at the table were in an uproar.She first praised her with words of praise, saying that the Central Plains conquered people with virtue and had a strong army, but there was a hint of veiled condemnation in her words.People couldn't believe that a Mongolian princess who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child could have such courage and logic to say such a thing!

"Princess's words are wrong." At this time, a gentle male voice came out from the banquet.Everyone looked left and right to find it, only to find that the person who spoke was actually the Fifth Prince.

Yilan was sitting in the banquet right now, exuding a warm and jade-like atmosphere all over his body, he smiled lightly and said to Princess Huimo: "I am a vast country, and I will definitely not treat the Turkic people rashly regardless of the life and death of the people. To send out troops, so when Wu Tao, the general of the hussars of our court, sent people to persuade the Great Khan to surrender many times when he regained the fortress of Onan River. Countering the Turkic rebellion. Since ancient times, Turkic has been our territory, and the Turkic people are my Panyun's people. There is a rebellion among the subordinates of the Great Khan, and it is right for the Holy One to send troops to help put down the rebellion. However, This rebellion, I am afraid... is not only the subordinates of the Mongolian Khan."

At this point, Yi Lan's words came to an abrupt end.However, everyone present understood what he meant, and all the courtiers secretly praised the fifth prince for his agility and calmness.Looking at the Mongolian princess, she also froze in place for a long while unable to refute.

At this moment, Yi Lan walked up to Princess Huimo again, took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to her.Princess Huimo pretended to be calm and took it, but she was so startled that cold sweat broke out after a quick glance.The letter was written in Father Khan's handwriting, and what was written in the letter was exactly what Father Khan and his subordinates rebelled against.

Before she finished reading the letter, her hand holding the letter was already shaking.Unexpectedly, among these "rebellious ministers and thieves" is Father Khan!But more of it is fear, once convicted of treason and rebellion, according to the law, it will be Ling Chi, and the nine clans will be punished!Thinking of this, he no longer had the strength to hold the letter in his hand, and the piece of paper fluttered to the ground.

"But the princess can rest assured." Yi Lan calmly bent down to pick up the letter, and then said in a calm tone: "Since the Mongolian Khan has bowed his head to me and proclaimed himself a vassal, he has sent you, Princess, to marry me. Your Majesty is of course kind-hearted and generous. Forgiveness, the past will be forgotten. As long as the Mongolian Khan is loyal and willing to submit to the imperial court completely, then the Mongolian Khan will still be able to sit firmly in his position."

Yilan knows that kindness is the best way to buy people's hearts, and she has already mentioned this matter to her father about quelling the Turkic rebellion a few months ago.Before Princess Huimo could speak, Yi Lan tore the letter to pieces in front of everyone.

At this time, Princess Huimo's expression was shocked again, her eyes were full of piety and gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, Huimo is very grateful. Later Huimo will write a letter to Father Khan to persuade Father Khan I enjoined the Turks to be loyal to the imperial court forever. Although Huimo is just a little Mongolian princess, she will do her best after she is married to the imperial court, and she will always think of the imperial court." After finishing speaking, she knelt down on the ground three times and kowtowed to the emperor I didn't get up until ninety.
