Dream Hua Embers Records

Early the next morning, Yan Yin got up before dawn, and waited outside Yan Qihao's tent early, for fear of missing the hour.

But heaven did not obey people's wishes, and an imperial decree came from Zhongdu, because the Yuan-Zhao border war was about to break out, Emperor Yuan asked Yan Qihao to set off immediately, rush to Zhongdu to offer up prisoners, and not delay in Yanjing.Yan Yin had no choice but to pack up her luggage in a hurry and set off with the army.

In the eastern suburbs of Yanjing, Xianlu Temple.

All Zhao's prisoners of war were imprisoned here.

No matter if they were traffickers or pawns, or royal relatives, they were all crowded in the halls, and people were crowded together, and there was no room for them to turn around.Those craftsmen and craftsmen have been promoted as good citizens, and they are allowed to find their own way of life, but they are not allowed to return to Zhao.Those looted civilians allowed their families to redeem them with gold and silk.Only the Kang family, including maidservants, eunuchs, etc., are not allowed to redeem, and all males have tattoos on their cheeks, and they will be official slaves forever.

This time, only the princes, princes, concubines, imperial concubines and other close clans and young women such as the unmarried concubine, female history, and palace maids set out with the army. They were all left in Xianlu Temple.

Husband and wife, father and daughter are separated, and the sound of mourning is endless.

Yan Yin sat in the car, raised the curtains, stared blankly at this scene of human tragedy, biting her lip, wondering what she was thinking.

The wind was very strong, and the dust and sand danced wildly in the sky, making people unable to open their eyes.

"Don't look, put down the car curtain, it's windy." Dai Zihe persuaded.

Yan Yin didn't turn her head back, her eyes were still staring outside, "Why are their clothes like that?"

Dai Zi and Probe took a look, and saw that some people's clothes had been rotten into strands, bare feet, legs covered with mud could no longer see the original color, and there were scattered woven fabrics on the tattered clothes. Gold and plate gold are shining.The prosperity is gone, the brocade clothes are turned into dust, and those people who have entered the earth from the sky still have the old gold powder on their bodies, which on the contrary makes the current tragedy even more desolate.

"Those men of low status, some of them walked on foot from the beginning, and some walked after their horses died. Naturally, the clothes on their bodies wear out faster." Dai Zihe tried his best to make his voice appear calm, as if he could Staying out of the matter, pretending to have nothing to do with him, but the sadness that something hurts others in his heart is unstoppable.

"Why don't you change their clothes?" Yan Yin asked again.

Dai Zihe sighed, "Because they are useless... they can't inspire morale and encourage subjects like princes and queens, and they can't reward meritorious officials like young women. They don't have any skills. Even if they are domestic slaves, they can cook Herding horses, sweeping and carrying heavy loads are not as good as ordinary people..."

Yan Yin frowned, "As long as you are a human being, it is useful, it just depends on whether you use it in the right place."

Dai Zihe shook his head, "There are nearly 20 men and women from Zhao State who were plundered in this battle. Only these thousands of people are the most difficult to deal with. They are not scattered among the people, nor are they in custody."

"Master, are you from Xixia or from Zhao?" Yan Yin asked suddenly.

Dai Zihe was stunned, "I don't know... I am a Han Chinese. My ancestors were plundered by the Xixia people and passed on for several generations. My hometown is no longer testable. Only the Chinese language has been passed down from generation to generation. So ...I'm not sure if my ancestors are from the Zhao Kingdom... This situation may be exactly the same as my ancestors'. "

"Then do you hate us Yuanguo people?"

Dai Zihe shook his head, "I can't say I love or hate, I'm just a rootless person... My parents and elder brother both died of the epidemic, and my life was snatched back by Master from the gate of hell. The Tuyuhun people, his country, have long since perished and no longer exist in this world."

"Master..." Yan Yin tugged on Dai Zihe's sleeve lightly, "Then you will be from our Yuan Country, okay? Be with me forever?"

Dai Zihe sighed lightly, but did not answer.

Yan Yin didn't dare to say any more, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "How about I give them the watch satin from this car?"

Dai Zihe looked at the upholstery on the car, and the watch satin left by Agu. There were only a dozen of them, so he shook his head and sighed, "It won't help you..."

"It's good to be able to help one person." Yan Yin asked, "If there are tens of thousands of people in need of master's treatment in the face of a major epidemic, master alone can only treat dozens or 100 people. saved?"

Dai Zihe pinched Yan Yin's face with a smile, "You're right! But sending it over like this will embarrass your father."

"Don't be afraid." Yan Yin smiled mysteriously, and shouted to the outside, "Come here!"

A soldier bowed in response.

"Send these table satin to those people in Xianlu Temple, and say that it was given to them by Shuo Wang Kangying."

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then nodded in obedience.

In the distance, those people received the watch satin, bowed to the outside, and kowtowed again and again.

Yan Yin's eye circles suddenly turned red.

The army rushed all the way, and soon arrived in Ning, the capital of Zhongdu.

Yan Yin sat in the car and looked around, her disappointment was beyond words.

"Is this the capital of my Dayuan? Why doesn't it look as prosperous as Yanjing?"

"Then Yanjing is the land of the Kang family's Longxing. It is an important town in the north, and it is also a major trading city between the north and the south. It is the most prosperous and bustling city in Hebei. The people of Yuanguo have been living nomads since ancient times, living by water and grass. Building cities and settling down is only a few dozen In the past few years, Huining is naturally not as good as Yanjing."

Yan Yin pursed her lips and remained silent, but what she was thinking about was the resplendent beam, "No wonder my father wants to command Jiangnan. Compared with Zhao Guo, our Da Yuan is really far behind."

"'Sher Spirit Turtle, watch me eat, it's fierce'. Instead of envious of the prosperity of other countries, it is better to retreat and work hard to build your own country." Dai Zi and Youyou said.

Yan Yin nodded, but did not answer.

The first dawn of dawn, the first light of dawn.

Yan Yin, dressed in a fine attire, took Dai Zihe's hand and stepped into the palace of Yuanguo surrounded by green willows.The willow waves are yiyi, and the birds are chirping, isolating the hustle and bustle of the world.

At the same time, Huining City was empty of thousands of people, and common people flocked to the gate of the city, beside the long street, to watch the prince and concubine of Zhao who had been reduced to slavery.

The [-] iron kite army, as the forerunner, came forward majestically.Afterwards, several military academies each held a banner and wrote letters: "Capture the rebel slave Kang Ying", "Capture the Zhu family after Zhao", "Capture the prince of Zhao", "Capture the family members of Zhao's harem", "Capture Zhao Diji", "Capture Zhao Zhu "Wang"...behind him is the Kang clan, men and women, all tied to horses.Each of those horses was led by a Yuan soldier, and they meandered all the way, parading the streets for public display.

Dai Zihe led Yan Yin and walked slowly into the palace.

I saw a big hall in the middle, named Qianyuan Hall, surrounded by several tents, all decorated with gold powder on the top of the tent, and decorated with wreaths around it. In comparison, it looks simple and shabby.

A guard guided the two of them to a small tent next to them and sat down. Hot milk tea and sweet dried fruits were brought up one after another, but they just let them sit and wait.

After waiting for a while, Yan Yin became impatient and asked, "When will the emperor see us?"

Dai Zihe smiled and said, "The emperor is presiding over the ceremony of offering captives at the ancestral temple, and he will not come back until it is over."

Yan Yin stopped talking.I promised my father that I would never meet with the prince's elder brother again, so I can't go to see this ancestral temple offering captives. Besides, it's a matter of the prince's elder brother's humiliation, so it's nothing to watch.

Dai Zihe was clear in his heart, Yan Qihao asked him to bring Yan Yin into the palace early in the morning, just to let Yan Yin avoid this ancestral temple to offer prisoners, fearing that he would not be able to bear it and cause something to happen.
