Chapter 390 Dayang asks for help

Ritu Ciji was only thirty years old, and his cheeks were roughened by the wind on the plateau. Even though he often wore ocher face, his cheeks were inevitably blushing, and there were faint traces of chappedness on the back of his hands.

The habits of Dayangtong and Tubo are roughly the same, and they are both Mon tribesmen with the same origin.

The Tubo people, especially in the Sunboru area, intermarried with the Qiang people who had fled to the plateau, resulting in slight differences in language and customs from Dayang.

If you say that Tubo belongs purely to the Qiang people, Dayangtong, you will turn a blind eye?

Therefore, Fan Zheng was not surprised to see Ritu Ciji with braided hair.

Dayangtong's clothing was mostly made of cow and sheep skins, and there were also Pulu made of mixed hair from the two. They were all designed to keep warm. In Chang'an, where the heat made Li Shimin furious, it was naturally inappropriate.

Therefore, Ritu Ciji changed into a Yizhou monofilament woven clothing, and the style was still the same as that of a big sheep.

According to Fan Zheng's rough understanding, Ritu is the name of a place, and referring to the place as a surname is also a common naming rule on the plateau - otherwise, the probability of having the same name is too high.

The next number probably means the first day of the lunar new year, a simple and unpretentious naming rule.

"Foreign minister Ritu Ciji, by order of Nie Xu, present to Tian Khan the pulu knitted by Concubine Xuge herself." Remove the hat, at a forty-five degree angle... bow and say Ritu Ciji.

Big gift.

This is a salute that only people do when they see their elders and respected people. For ordinary people, just bow their heads.

Hada does not exist, and the clearly recorded Hada dates from the Yuan Dynasty.

Is the Pupu knitted by Concubine Xuge herself? It is the same as the so-called virgin picking tobacco leaves in some places. It is knitted to attract attention. Is it possible that you want to go and test it yourself?

Believe it or not, someone pulled out an 80-year-old virgin for you?

"There are also highland barley wine brewed by skilled craftsmen, and glutinous rice cakes made by the most loyal subjects."

Highland barley wine existed in this era, and there are corresponding records in "Tang Huiyao" and "Cefu Yuangui". Of course, the alcohol content was not high.

Dayang Tongren eat highland barley, milk, cattle, sheep, and dog meat, and avoid eating donkeys, horses, fish, frogs, snakes, etc.

Later, I gradually stopped eating dog meat, probably out of emotion.

But now it’s edible!

Donkeys and horses are taboo because they work hard.

The reason for not eating aquatic products is not only believed by Bon believers that they can communicate with the underworld, but also related to the method of water burial.

Of course, there are also sky burials in Dayang, so in a few places even poultry is not eaten.

The name of the song and dance is Dui Xie, which means upper part, upper part, and upstream. Xie is a song and dance, which is a kind of circle dance.

In contrast, the downstream area is called Mai.

Don't think that herdsmen are very poor. Not to mention that they own more than a hundred cattle and sheep, but ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty cannot afford the gold, silver and jewelry on women's clothing.

This is related to the plateau’s vast territory and sparse population, and abundant resources per capita.

"Nie Xu, your country, is very affectionate."

There is a saying that Li Mixia did not alienate Concubine Xuge of Zangmeng because she had no choice but to marry Tubo Xibuye Saimaga as Zanmeng, and her character was still strong.

It's a pity that the good qualities for ordinary people will be fatal if they fall on a king.

Although Xibu Ye Sai Maga left Qionglong Silver Castle and moved to Manasarovar Lake, it was only a trigger for the decisive battle between Dayangtong and Tubo.

There is no room for two giant insects in one mountain, and sooner or later the male and female will be divided.

The winner takes all, the loser perishes, this is fate.

The decisive battle between the old and new kings of the plateau, the flames of war burned from Lazi to Dade, Sangsang, Chemala, Jilong, and Landra, approaching the largest defense line.

The character of Tubo Dalun Qiongpo Bangse is questionable, but he was still very powerful in fighting. He defeated Dayangtong's fellow Dalu Qiongpo Resangye. For a time, Tubo's reputation was greatly shaken.

Although Dayangtong's remaining territory is vast, its population is really small, and the number of troops it can deploy is limited.

In addition, the Bon religion in Dayangtong was constraining Li Mixia.

It is not a rare phenomenon that Xin Rao is above the king, nor is it necessary to deliberately cause chaos. Normal differences of opinion are uncomfortable enough in this critical moment.

Asking Datang for help was Dayangtong's only choice.

"By the way, did the envoys from Japan and Turkey come to Tang Dynasty via the Khotan route?"

The 900-mile Kriya Ancient Road is not easy to walk. In addition, it is 9,700 miles away from Khotan to the Tang Dynasty. Even if you drive hard, it will take two or three months. God knows whether the big sheep will be as cold as the cold.

Ritu Ci Ji smiled bitterly: "Shangguan still knows Dayangtong well. Yes, even when we arrive in Khotan from the Kriya Valley under Ritu, several people will die every time. The cold snow water can freeze the leg bones.

Already."

Risk is risk, and as long as measures are taken, a few deaths can be avoided.

If you are unlucky and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, you don’t know how long you will survive.

The most special gift from Dayang Tong is the colorful dzi beads, which are said to have been blessed by Xin Rao.

"The foreign ministers came here to ask the Tang Dynasty to restrain the Tibetans for a while, so that the lower state could survive."

The idea is very good, and Datang has also tried its best to do so, but this plateau is too unfriendly to the people of Datang!

A dzi bead as big as a thumb was sent to Fan Zheng's case to show that he was of the same mind.

When Ritu Ciji and the others left, Fan Zheng picked up the Dzi beads on the case and put them among Dayangtong's tributes.

——

In the Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin was lazily leaning on the big bed (chair), with a basin of misty ice cubes beside him, and beside him were two palace servants fanning themselves hard;

Li Zhi knelt down on the desk on one side, his back straight and not even leaning on the table. Even though there was sweat seeping from his temples, he did not slack off at all, perfectly interpreting "sitting upright".

Li Zhi, who was a little too excited, was poured cold water on Li Yifu, and then he remembered that he was not the only heir of Aye!

Do you want to know more about "like yourself"?

If it weren't for the fact that A Niang is the queen and the other party has the blood of the previous dynasty, I really don't know who will win.

Li Zhi, who was beaten away from pride, regained his humble appearance and tightened his heart strings all the time.

Most of the memorials reviewed will still be reviewed by Aye.

Facing Fan Zheng who entered the palace to pay the order, Li Zhi's curiosity aroused.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the change of Silla from the old to the new seems normal, but in fact it means another change after more than ten years." Fan Zheng briefly stated Jin Famin's request.

Li Shimin smiled, watching how Li Zhi responded.

Li Zhi hesitated for a while, then raised his head and said, "I don't understand. Can Fan Qing explain it in detail?"

Fan Zheng lowered his hands: "The princes and ministers of Silla, in terms of bone quality, are divided into holy bones and real bones. Among them, the holy bones are Pu and Jin. In the past, three families could inherit the throne. Each bone grade did not intermarry with each other, resulting in holy bones.

Now only Kim Seungman, King of Silla, remains.”

"According to this absurd bone system, Jin Shengman is bound to be the last to succeed, and the real bone's rise to the top can only happen overnight."

Li Zhi hesitated: "Why are all three families extinct?"

Fan Zheng said with a smile: "If we always intermarry within these three families, if one family has some ancestral disease, all three families will be in trouble. It is not advisable to intermarry within a small circle."
