Chapter 11 Murong

3days ago traverse Novels 3
Xue Chongxun was clear about Yu Liben and Liu Shilang's trip to Huaqing Palace. The people from the inner factory wrote their itinerary in detail. However, it was normal for Princess Taiping to have contacts with Chang'an in Huaqing Palace, and he would not do anything.

Then not long after, Huaqing Palace sent someone to convey the meaning of Princess Taiping, hoping that Xue Chongxun would listen to the advice of the ministers of the Southern Yai in the Hebei project...

It is clear who will report the news and who will be a lobbyist for the Political Affairs Hall.

There are many bureaucrats in the capital of Chang'an, with many yamen, which seem to be crowded and complicated. In fact, it is just such a big city, and there are many things that are clear in each other's minds.

Princess Taiping is not someone who can be fooled by the bureaucrats. Although she did not ask Xue Chongxun to do whatever she wanted, a reminder was enough to attract Xue Chongxun's attention because it means Taiping.

This is actually a kind of pressure.

Not long after, the envoy of Murong Xianbei submitted a letter and the delegation brought the Xianbei princess Murong Dong to Beijing.

Xue Chongxun did not want to summon him in person, nor was he interested in holding a banquet in Linde Hall. He directly asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to receive him according to the system and talked about state affairs with Tuyuhun.

Dou Huaizhen was also a person with some skills and experience in handling government affairs. He immediately wrote a letter to suggest that the Xianbei princess be a concubine and let her live in the Daming Palace.

Originally, Tuyuhun was an ally of the Jin Dynasty. The princesses were sent, so how could she not give her a title?

There are countless women in the palace, but not one more.

Xue Chongxun quickly asked someone to approve the memorial.

In addition to the etiquette process, the Tuyuhun envoy suggested that the court send troops to Tubo, and the Jin army, Tuyuhun army, and the Mo family Tubo formed a coalition to deal with the offensive after the Spring Festival in Luoshecheng, and prevented the population territory of the Mo family from being annexed.

Tuyuhun wanted the Jin army to dispatch 50,000 elite troops, and gathered 30,000 cavalry in the city, forming 80,000 infantry and cavalry into Tubo.

They spoke 50,000 elite soldiers, but in fact they were not a big talk. The Tubo country was not an ordinary small tribal alliance, with its territory in the east being second only to the Central Plains dynasty. The lean camel was also the second most powerful country. It would be useless to start a war with it and the scale of 70,000 to 80,000 people was missing.

The army of 50,000 troops was expeditioned and the supply line was long, which would be a huge burden in the second year of Tianbao.

The court had not agreed to Tuyuhun's suggestion, but it was imperative to send troops to Tubo from the emperor to the ministers.

Compared with Hebei's advance and retreat, it is extremely unwise to give up the situation in Helong area in order to save troops and financial resources.

Xue Chongxun has issued an order to name the twelve new cannons in Wugong County, the Dragon and Tiger Cannons, and transport them to the Helong area in advance.

There was an official from the Divine Machinery Bureau accompanying him, and he had only one duty, which was to take out an imperial edict to destroy these cannons when necessary.

The prelude to the war began when the twelve cannons left Guanzhong.

Before Murong Dong arrived in Chang'an, he was enthroned as Xiu Yuan, one of the nine concubines, and his rank was very high in the harem.

Because the Turkic princess and the Jin Dynasty were also named Nine Concubines, the Murong family of Tuyuhun had a good relationship with the Jin Dynasty, and their princess' position naturally could not be lower than that of the Turkic Princess. Moreover, Murong Dong was the younger sister of the Khan of Tuyuhun.

After she entered the Daming Palace, she was separated from the Xianbei envoy who was escorting her and would be received by the harem institutions.

At this time, Princess Taiping, Queen and others were all in Huaqing Palace, and the person ordered to take charge of the power of the harem was Princess Jincheng.

Princess Jincheng is familiar with the origin of Murong and Xue Chongxun, and grandly receives Murong Dong and settles him in a palace on the south bank of Taiye Lake.

Xue Chongxun returned to the palace and heard that Murong Dong had arrived at the Daming Palace, so he immediately summoned him to have dinner together.

Although Murong Dong became Xue Chongxun's concubine out of political marriage, his feelings for this little girl were still in the Helong incident a few years ago.

In his impression, Dong'er was a very thin little girl. At that time, Xue Chongxun was plotted by Li Longji's reign in Langzhou and almost lost her life. A little girl who happened to meet was his savior; her life story was not simple, she turned out to be the princess who escaped from the Tuyuhun internal strife...

This person is Murong Dong.

Several years have passed, but Xue Chongxun has always clearly distinguished grudges and remembers them very clearly.

Later, the Murong family received strong support from the Tang and Jin dynasties to regain the power of Tuyuhun and quickly restored their relationship with Chang'an. One of the people who strongly supported it was actually Xue Chongxun.

Why did he repay Murong's great trust? In addition to the Murong Yan and his brothers' handling, the biggest reason is that Murong Dong, the little girl who rarely participates in the business.

In addition, during the Tubo War, Murong Dong was held hostage by the Tuyuhun prime minister Fu Lu and made peace with Tubo Zanpu. Xue Chongxun led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the Tubo king's tent, which was extremely risky.

That battle was not only a military adventure, but also a reason for Murong Dong.

Sometimes Xue Chongxun's purpose in doing things is very simple, and he is a little impatient, so he doesn't think he has some qualities of a founding king; but as Zhang Shuo said, a person's luck depends on his fate, and a ridiculous adventure laid the foundation for the great victory in the Tubo War...

And he thought that if he hadn't met Murong Dong when he was in Tonghua County, Langzhou, he would have been killed by his political enemies long ago, and what else would have happened later?

For that thin little girl, Xue Chongxun had a feeling of being a brother in his heart, which was something completely different from the relationship between men and women.

He wanted to be kind to a woman, protect her and take care of her, but had no desire to possess her, and could tolerate her. This kind of brotherly care is not an excuse for love brothers and sisters...

Xue Chongxun admitted in his heart that his feelings for Murong Dong, a little girl who has no blood relationship, were even more affectionate than his own sister Princess Hezhong and others.

Just like a sentence, brothers are sometimes not friends, but friends are often as close as brothers.

Xue Chongxun asked someone to prepare four ordinary dishes in Penglai Hall and was already sitting at the table waiting for Murong Dong.

Maybe the scene of meeting again was not grand enough, but he was willing to get along with her like his family.

When he sat there, he was thinking that Murong Dong could not be a political victim. He was willing to indulge her out of the palace and give her all kinds of freedoms, so that she could still live like a princess in Chang'an.

He did not want to harm or possess this girl. He knew very well that the rich clothes and food of the concubines of the palace might be like the heavenly palace for ordinary people, but it was really a cage for the nobles.

After waiting for a long time, a palace maid came first to ask for an order, and then a woman in a big red Xianbei dress came in surrounded by the palace maids.

Xue Chongxun knew that she was Murong Dong, but at this time she was stunned and could hardly recognize her.

Where is Murong Dong still the thin little girl a few years ago?

She looked like she had become a very beautiful girl. She was half a head taller than the palace maids around her. Her charming eyes were not much more than her sister. She was so charming that she smiled and frowned. Her skin was even white with the whiteness of a Xianbei person, her figure was concave and bulging, and her chest was bulging. She showed a smooth line against the narrow Xianbei skirt, which was very beautiful.

She was dressed in bright red and her gold and jade accessories were full of joy, and she really dressed up as a bride.

I will pay my respects to Your Majesty.Murong Dong bowed his knees and saluted slowly, his voice as if it came from the snow in the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest, and his pronunciation was a standard Chang'an accent.

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and pointed to the stool next to him and said: Dong'er comes here to sit and have dinner together.

Murong Dong smiled and thanked him in a proper manner, and walked over happily.

Although the dishes on the table are simple, it depends on who you can eat with. It is difficult for those who can eat delicacies alone with the emperor.

Sure enough, the girl changed a lot.

Xue Chongxun smiled and looked up and said, "Where is wine, come with a pot of grape wine, how can this meal be without wine?"

In fact, it is because he rarely drinks alcohol by himself. It’s really no wonder the palace servants on duty.

Murong Dong sat down gently, smiled with a coquettish tone: Your Majesty, how are my Chang'an words?

Xue Chongxun nodded and said: If you only listen to the sound, you will probably think you are a Han Chinese or a Han Chinese who grew up in Guanzhong.

Murong Dong said softly: Everything is ready in Fuqi City, language, etiquette, etc., just wait for this day.

She said it very surely, and Xue Chongxun couldn't help but take a look. The sunset was just overwhelming from the window of the mullet, and a bright stream of light appeared on her face, as beautiful as an immortal.

She continued: Brother once told me that the Murong family and the emperor's family have already been married, and the court will no longer enthrone the princess of Tuyuhun, but I know you will definitely marry me, only you.

When Xue Chongxun heard her talk was quite mysterious, he couldn't help but say: King Tuyuhun Khan made sense. How did you know that the mission will take you to Chang'an?

Murong Dong smiled and said: I can feel that something has not happened, and Your Majesty will always appear as scheduled.Last time, Fu Lu wanted to send me to Tubo to marry him. They all went to Zanpu's tent, but I knew you would definitely come to save me. Fu Lu and his sister didn't believe it. Didn't Your Majesty bring troops here later?

Xue Chongxun said: That's because we knew each other, so I saved you.I remember the first time I met it was a rainy night. You passed by with an umbrella. We didn’t know each other before. You didn’t even know if I was a thief, but you helped me. That was very rare.

When I saw Your Majesty at first sight, I foresee that you are not a bad person.Murong Dong smiled charmingly, everything was arranged by God. I will not be able to return to Tuyuhun if I don’t meet Your Majesty.

Xue Chongxun said in a complicated mood: I will treat you well.

When he had not met, he still wanted to treat Murong Dong as his family, because he thought that Murong Dong was just out of Tuyuhun's political marriage, so she thought so mysteriously that she had wanted to marry herself for a long time. So can he still treat Murong Dong as a sister?

Besides, there was a beautiful woman in front of her.

Xue Chongxun's thoughts did not change so quickly. At this time, he felt a little awkward. Instead, Murong Dong looked very generous and everything was as natural.
