Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 291 I Haven't Been a Thief for Many Years
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was sunny and the wind was slightly cold.

Compared with previous years, this year is really a warm winter. It is said that the number of people who have been donated in Wannian County this year has been greatly reduced, and the number of people who died of freezing or starvation is less than ten people.

This is not slander, no matter how holy the emperor is alive, you will inevitably die, no matter how timely your relief is, you still don't allow people to have death intentions?
After sewing a layer on the middle coat, putting a white fold on it, and then wearing a captain with a white fold, the chill on Fan Zheng's body went down a lot.

I don't know where the miracle happened, but Du Shengxia, a mother-in-law, actually sewed interlayers for Fan Zheng with her own hands. Although the stitches are sometimes sparse and sometimes dense, crooked, like a centipede crawling, it can't keep warm!
Fortunately, the mother-in-law's craftsmanship is limited, there are no shoulders that are one high and one low, and sleeves that are long and short, so be content.

The problem of stitching can be ignored for the middle garment, since other people can't understand it well.

Not even using the hand stove, Fan Zheng stood in the class of Sinong Temple with a straight body.

Hey, the most inconvenient thing about going to court is that you can't drink water at will, otherwise people will be in a hurry and lose face.

"The envoy of Urohun entered the Tang Dynasty as a tribute and offered mink fur."

Pass things to others to report.

Wuluohun, called Wuluohou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, also known as Wuluohu, is located [-] miles northeast of Chang'an, bordering Mohe to the east, Turks to the west, Khitan to the south, and Karasuma to the north. The customs are close to Mohe.

There are also sayings that Urohu and Urohun are not the same race.

Urohun did not exist in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and later became a part of Shiwei.

The reason for offering the mink fur was not only to preserve Urohun’s country name, but also to take the opportunity to exchange some wheat back.

No way, Wuluohun is bitterly cold, and it can only be planted for one season a year. The harvest is already small, and the number of people in the tribe is increasing, so they can't afford it.

They are not nomadic, they pay equal attention to farming, fishing and hunting, but the place is too cold and their output is limited.

Expand territory through war?

What are you thinking, besides the colder Karasuma, which of the other three countries can they afford?

The taste of living in the cracks was not pleasant, which led them to choose sides in the end.

At this time, Mohe was far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the only thing that had an overlap was Tudiji, the chief of Mohe, who was attached to the Sui Dynasty and lived in Yingzhou. In the year of Wude, he lived in Yanzhou. After attacking him, he was able to lead his troops to live in Changping City, Youzhou.

Gao Kaidao led the Turks to attack Youzhou, and Tudiji led his troops to invite them to attack and defeated the Turks. Therefore, at the beginning of Zhenguan, he paid homage to the right guard general and gave him the surname Li.

"Khitan leader Ku Ge, the tribute name is Ma Diaoyi."

Khitan, with 3000 victorious soldiers, divided into eight divisions, originally surrendered to the Turks, so as to fight against the Xi people.

"The leader of the Xi tribe, who can be saved, will pay tribute with a hundred good horses and fifty Xi chariots, and ask the Tang Dynasty for help in attacking Khitan."

The Xi family, "Old Tang Book" records that it is the Xi State, and it was called Kumo Xi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, meaning "sand" and "desert". The Xiongnu is a different species, living in the original Xianbei land, with more than [-] victorious soldiers, and five divisions Once Jin, nomadic, good to fight with Khitan.

When they arrived in the Liao Kingdom, the two departments that fell in love and killed each other officially joined forces.

Shi Wei also sent people to pay tribute. Interestingly, the "Old Tang Book" said that Shi Wei was a Khitan tribe.

In general, in the Tang Dynasty, Shi Wei had little offense, which was also related to geographical isolation.

The Yu tribe, who lived in the south of Urohun and north of Huangshui, also sent envoys to the court.

The most interesting thing is that Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Vija Khan Yi lost the barbarian man's heart, so he sent his son Tuli to donate [-] horses, [-] cattle and camels, and [-] sheep to propose marriage.

It's not that Yi Shiyi's man has any obsession with a pear tree pressing a begonia, but Xue Yantuo's position is no longer secure, and resistance from the Huihe, Tongluo, and Pugu tribes keeps coming and going. I can only play Datang Aye's idea.

Aye Aye, I can be your son-in-law!

"Let's have a discussion with your family."

Li Shimin looked down on Yi Shiyi, but he gave too much.

Others can be ignored, except for horses!

Not to mention good horses, even bad horses, the gap in the Tang Dynasty is too big. The horses of the Taipu Temple's herdsmen can't make up for the needs of draft horses and plow horses.

Especially for plow horses, even if there is a Quyuan plow, there are still many places where manpower is needed to pull the plow.

Fan Zheng went out to Juhu: "Your Majesty, I believe that Xue Yantuo's sincerity is open to question. Yi Shiyi is old and married a princess who is as beautiful as a flower in the Tang Dynasty. If he dies, I will be the princess of the Tang Dynasty. , how can she accept the humiliation of marriage like the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty?"

Fu report marriage, also known as receiving succession marriage, is subdivided into upper and lower report.

Simply put, marrying a stepmother and sister-in-law is a blessing, and accepting a younger sister-in-law and a daughter-in-law are rewards.

In the pre-Qin period, marriage proposals also appeared in the vassal states. It is often recorded in "Zuo Zhuan", such as Yi Jiang and Wei Xuangong, Xuan Jiang and Wei Jian are considered legal, but there is no such record in the state of Lu, which attaches great importance to etiquette;

After the prosperity of Confucianism, the system of declaring marriages was regarded as adultery, and gradually disappeared in history. Even in the Ming Dynasty, censoring marriages could be punished with death.

However, in countries such as Turks, this is a very normal thing, and it is also related to their plight in childbirth.

Etiquette, for the grassland country, is quite extravagant - can't afford it!

Ahem, Fan Zheng's words are a bit dangerous. Li Shimin's acceptance of Hailing's Princess Yang's entry into the palace is essentially a marriage proposal, so there is suspicion of insinuation.

Qiu Shenji, the censor outside the hall, was refreshed and was about to enter the hall to impeach Fan Zheng, but he heard Yan Shigu, the secretary and young supervisor, say, "What the man from Huarong Jianguo County said is true, the princess of the Tang Dynasty is just like the princess of the Tang Dynasty. How can your face be trampled upon?"

Yan Shigu protects his shortcomings, he will talk about the family background of those he doesn't like, and he will try his best to defend those he likes.

Qiu Shenji could only be discouraged.

Not to mention him, even he, Ayeqiu Xinggong, couldn't offend the Wannian Yan family.

Tuli was anxious: "When the foreign minister left Xue Yantuo, Zhenzhu Vija Khan had confessed that when he asked to marry the princess, all the etiquette and laws would follow the rules of the Tang Dynasty, and he would never dare to force it with the bad customs of the grassland!"

Li Shimin laughed silently.

Although Fan Zheng was a little offended, this reason just made Xue Yantuo, who was full of ambition, hold back a little.

If the monarch and ministers agree with one voice, it feels like Datang is going to marry the princess.

"The envoys will step back and we will inform you of the results after the court meeting."

Zhang Anan raised his eyebrows, and spoke for Li Shimin.

The princess is going to marry, so how can it be possible not to eat such a generous dowry gift?
"Your Majesty, if Lao Cheng leads people to slaughter Tuli and take all the cattle and horses, he will say that he has never seen the envoy Xue Yantuo."

Cheng Yaojin's belly was gurgling with bad water.

Fan Zheng wanted to laugh, this is really something an old thieves can do.

Cheng Yaojin can also sing a song: I have not been a thief for many years.

Li Shimin smiled: "Let's discuss Zhijie's suggestion."

It's nothing more than picking another girl from the clan who is not welcome to see, and marrying her as a princess. Everyone knows that as long as Li Daoming's shit-stirring stick is not talking nonsense, everyone's face will be covered, and they will naturally get along.

Really, it's not worth letting Cheng Yaojin go back to his old job.
