Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 939 The Temptation of Xianbei

Early the next morning, before it was fully dawn, Xie Dai took the sixth prince and left the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. At this time, even Li Xin didn't get up. When he heard the movement, he put on his clothes and walked out. At that time, Xie Dai was already leading the little prince to get on the carriage.

  The sixth prince saw Li Xin coming, walked in front of Li Xin, knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to Li Xin.

   "The other head is for my aunt."

  The little prince got up and bowed to Li Xin: "If there is a chance to meet again, my nephew will kowtow to my uncle again."

  Li Xin reached out and touched the child's head, and sighed slightly: "You'd better stay in Shanyin all your life. When you grow up, I will go to Shanyin with your aunt to see you."

  The little prince wiped his tears and turned to get into the car.

Empress Dowager Xie's two sons, the eldest son was very close to the Jing'an Hou Mansion under the deliberate arrangement of the Emperor Taikang. The son is not very able to leave the palace. He is six years old this year, and he has only been to Jing'an Houfu three or four times.

   He wiped away his tears at this time, not because he couldn't bear Li Xin, but because he couldn't bear the capital and his mother in the Kunde Palace.

You must know that this child is only six years old this year, and he has no father. Now he wants to go to Shanyin, a place he does not know well, and it is very likely that he will grow up in Shanyin alone. It may have collapsed for a while.

  It was amazing that he could endure crying until he was about to leave.

  Li Xin didn't say much, just silently sent the carriage for two steps, then turned around and went home.

  For the Tian family, family affection is certainly there, but it is not very important. In their eyes, there are things that are far more important than family affection, so the emperor sometimes seems very indifferent.

   Faced with this situation, Li Xin was too lazy to take care of it, nor did he want to take care of it.

The day after the sixth prince left, the imperial court officially issued an edict. The old sheep, who was returning to his hometown, Ren Shangshu, served as the right servant, and the prime minister's house was appointed as the middle secretary. Three days later, a court meeting would be held. With the core as the core, the new Shangshutai Saisuke was elected.

   As for the word Fuchen, no one in the court dared to mention it again.

The work of Lord Li Dahou has not stopped. Yu Linwei is still arresting people under his command, but because of the maintenance of the old sheep and the kindness of Emperor Yuan Zhao, in addition to killing more than 100 people in the first round , Most of the people behind were demoted and exiled, or they were sent to Jingzhao Mansion to be put in prison, and some serious ones were just sent to the northern Xinjiang to join the army, and few people were really beheaded again.

   All in all, Li Xin and Yu Linwei did things that offended people, and Shang Shutai and Xin Tianzi were good people.

   A month later, only four or five people's heads were beheaded at Xishi Street at a time. At this time, Li Xin was too lazy to go, so he rested at home, and occasionally went to Chen Guogong's mansion to play chess with the white-haired Chen Guogong.

   Soon, it was the late twelfth lunar month in the first year of Yuanzhao.

   At this time, more than a month has passed since Shen Kuan and others started the chaos. The first year of Yuanzhao is about to come to an end, and the turmoil caused by Shen Kuan and others has gradually subsided.

  Although Yulinwei is still arresting people, he is not as panicked as he was a month ago.

At this time, the court situation gradually stabilized, and many forces in the capital gradually became more honest. Under the guidance of the old sheep, the little emperor was gradually exposed to political affairs. In addition, the new Shangshutai was very effective, and the political affairs were smooth. The Yuan Zhao Dynasty is about to slowly get on the right track.

   At this time, an envoy from the Xianbei Ministry in the north, with about forty people and a hundred horses, came to the capital.

   These people came to the imperial capital to congratulate the new emperor.

The person headed by the    mission was named Yuwendi, the eldest son of Yuwenzhao.

  The first foreign affairs of the new dynasty, Emperor Yuanzhao naturally took a fancy to him. He led Baiguan to meet the envoy from northern Xinjiang in Weiyang Palace.

  Yuwendi respectfully knelt in the Weiyang Palace and kowtowed to the emperor on the throne.

   "Chen Yuwendi, I meet His Majesty the Emperor."

   After the ceremony, all the ministers, including Gong Yangshu, frowned.

   It stands to reason that when foreigners come to envoys, they should not call themselves ministers, nor should they bow down to such a level.

   The emperor at this time was already used to worshipping by all the officials, but he didn't feel anything wrong. He waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

Yuwendi stood up respectfully, bowed to Emperor Yuan Zhao, and said, "Bibang is a remote place, I only heard about His Majesty's enthronement not long ago. After my father knew about it, he immediately prepared a hundred horses as a congratulatory gift. I have sent this minister to the capital of the imperial capital to present it to Your Majesty and congratulate His Majesty."

   Having said that, he added: "Fifty for each male and female."

A hundred horses are valuable, but in a place like the capital, it is not very good, but fifty pairs of horses are very different. The horse source of the Great Jin is scarce, and the war horses in the various armies are not very good. These horses can be used as stallions to improve the quality of the Great Jin war horses.

  Emperor Yuanzhao is not very old, but he was trained as a prince since he was a child, and he still understands the importance of war horses. He nodded and said, "Your Ministry has a heart."

  Yuwendi took a deep breath and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, before the small minister came to the capital, the father and the king had another request, asking the small minister to ask the emperor for instructions."

   Emperor Yuan Zhao frowned: "You said."

Yuwendi said respectfully, "Your Majesty, since the beginning of more than 40 years, the various parts of my Xianbei have been divided, not to mention fighting each other, and it is difficult to govern, so that there are still some scoundrels who have robbed the people in the northern border of the Great Jin, and harmed the people's livelihood, so that The two phases are inconsistent, and misunderstandings are frequent."

"My father has always wanted to unify the Xianbei tribes in the north, herding horses and sheep with peace of mind, and defending the northern border for the Great Jin. Now the Xianbei Ministry of Northern Xinjiang is finally going to be unified again."

   "I entreat Your Majesty to grant me the title of King of the Xianbei Division. From then on, the Xianbei Division of Northern Xinjiang will forever be a vassal of Dajin. Every year, I will pay tribute to horses and sheep, and serve the suzerain from generation to generation!"

These remarks are still very tempting. You must know that the northern border is not only a foreign tribe such as the Xianbei tribe. When the Xianbei was still in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were still tyrannical races such as the Qiang and the Xiongnu in the north. Dajin bows his head as a minister, and is willing to be the vassal screen of Dajin, defending the frontier for Dajin, then the two troops guarding the gates of Jizhou City and Yunzhou City do not need to be removed, but the pressure can be greatly reduced.

   More importantly, if there are no hidden dangers in the north for the time being, the court can focus all its energy on the southwest and concentrate on solving the problems in the southwest.

   Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the throne, and after being silent for a while, he turned to look at Gong Yangshu: "What do you think of the old prime minister?"

Gong Yangshu stroked his gray beard and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this kind of important matter in the country cannot be rushed and needs to be discussed slowly, so that the envoy of the Xianbei Ministry can stay in the capital first and wait for the court to discuss it. When the result is out, give him an answer."

  The Emperor nodded, looked at Yuwendi, and said solemnly: "Your envoy goes to the Datong Guild Hall to rest first, and then I will send someone to inform your envoy after I have discussed the results with the other ministers."
