Chapter 18 Sisters Night Talk
During the Xuanhe period, the vassal kings fought endlessly.
The war that lasted for more than ten years resulted in the exhaustion of national strength. The Hu barbarians took the opportunity to raise troops to invade the Central Plains, followed by Luoyi, Emperor Ai was captured, and the Yan Dynasty fell into pieces.
The Yan royal family could only cross the south to the Jingling Mausoleum and continue the national reign, while the northern part was completely reduced to terrain.
The Hulu cavalry was invincible and successively captured multiple cities. Many powerful clans in the north who failed to move south in time built walls to protect themselves. For a time, the Hanshui Basin was full of fortresses.
The dock walls, with scattered strongholds, high walls and deep bricks, are both dangerous and hidden, and they wedge into the northern land like nails. And they are very good at wandering and fighting, and sometimes the barbarian cavalry can do nothing.
Some small walls were also defeated by strong troops and surrendered one after another. However, one wall fell down, and more walls stood up, and wildfires could not be burned.
The tyrannical barbarians were only good at siegeing cities, not defending cities, and even more good at governing them. The people occupied a lot of life. In order to survive, the people fled south, and they could not escape and threw themselves into the fort to survive.
Therefore, outside the clan towns, the dock walls further grew by relying on refugees who came to rely on, and became a larger dock owner consortium through marriage or alliance, and their armed strength was further enhanced, becoming the most troublesome existence for the barbarians.
While the wall was being cleared out in large numbers, there was no peace among the barbarians. Melee occurred during times, and the regime changed one after another, and the situation was very turbulent. It was not until the Northern Liang Dynasty was unified that the north was temporarily stabilized.
After the Northern Liang established the capital in Luoyi, he began to try to rule the occupied areas with orthodox means. Then they soon discovered that it was difficult to manage such a large country, and those rural cities were beyond reach and could not be effectively managed.
At this time, the dock owner with powerful force became the target of comfort and win over.
Beiliang wants to take advantage of the dock owners' control over local order to govern grassroots society and provide food and military sources at the same time. It is only the other party's obedience or no objection to its own rule.
Although the masters of each dock have the ability to protect themselves, they are not enough to deal with the long-term suppression and attack of the Jingqi of the Northern Liang Dynasty. For the sake of the clan and the people who depend on the fort, they can only temporarily entrust the regime established by the barbarians.
It was not until three years ago that the old king of Northern Liang died, and the general Xu Lianzhu launched a coup and usurped the throne and became emperor.
The Northern Liang Dynasty was not stable, and civil strife arose again. It was a great opportunity. How could the dock owners in various places lose their position? The hatred of the country and family hatred attacked them. In addition, the people's will, Beiliang suffered an unprecedented heavy blow and was eventually driven out of Luoyi and retreated to the north of Wuchou Sea.
But the world has not been peaceful because of this.
The dock owners were in charge of their own affairs, intrigue and had many conflicts. After driving away foreign enemies, they began to attack each other and fight endlessly.
During this process, some dock walls were eroded, while others were further strengthened by eroding others.
Hu and Xiao families are the best among the latter.
-
My cousin is young and ignorant, but my uncle and uncle are also short-sighted.
Little did she know that this family is really a good family. What she said in the ancestral hall was not just to stimulate Luo's family.
In a chaotic world, gold and silver are worse than military mountains. This is the ultimate truth that every ambitious person knows well.
As long as there is a powerful army, it can sit with the heroes and separate power. Advance can compete for the world, retreat can defend one side, otherwise how could Cao Wei establish a country and how could the Sima family usurp power?
Take Dayan as an example. All the four great gentry members in the court held heavy troops. Even ordinary families learned from the lessons of the Xuanhe Rebellion, took guests, embraced the tribes, and formed private soldiers on a large scale...
My uncle and uncle had too many stable lives, and the pain of war gradually disappeared. Due to the family's opinion, he felt regretful of marriage.
What really made Jiang Fosang feel sad was that they didn’t think this was a good marriage to him, so they wanted to marry Foyin.
"Is my aunt joking?" Jiang Fosang asked sincerely.
No matter how hard it is to speak, Luo simply made up his mind: "I think so, my aunt is now embarrassed, and it is not appropriate to live in Beijing again. With Xu in one day, he can't even remarry. Who dares to risk offending the Xu family to marry you? He Ru, He Ru..."
How to make such a sacrifice?
How lightly she said, it’s a pity that she has sacrificed enough.
"Please go back, my aunt." Jiang Fosang put down the tea set.
Luo was anxious and turned into a sitting position: "Even if you don't look at me and your uncle, think about it! She calls you all day long, so you can bear to see her marrying away from home and staying away from her parents? Since childhood, she has never even left Jingling..."
When Luo said this, he completely forgot that Jiang Fosang in front of her had never left Jingling City if he had no experience in his previous life.
The only difference is that one person cherishes it, the other person doesn't care about it.
"Please go back for my uncle." As I said the same thing, Jiang Fosang stood up and turned his back to her, and would not look at her again.
"Liu Niang!" Luo chased forward, "Just like my aunt..."
The atmosphere was in a stalemate, and the servants came to report and the central palace sent an order to summon him.
Luo's face turned pale, he staggered back several steps, knowing that he was one step late after all.
Jiang Fosang had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but his smile was not enough to reach his eyes: "The queen summoned me, I can't replace this, my aunt will walk slowly."
-
Luo took Jiang Foyin to the palace after changing clothes.
I didn't return until late at night.
After Jiang Foyin returned home, he locked himself in the house. No one saw him and refused to eat him.
Luo had no choice but to invite Jiang Fosang.
From preparing to getting married to getting married, many things have been going through in the middle. The two sisters have not been sleeping on the same bed for a long time.
The two of them lay side by side, both full of thoughts, no longer the same as before, there were endless words.
After a long time, Jiang Foyin turned around, shook Jiang Fosang's arm, and asked with a strong nasal voice: "Sister, if I leave, will you miss me?"
Jiang Fosang nodded, "Yes."
"Then, will you go see me?" Before Jiang Fosang could answer, she sniffed again, "Forget it, sister, don't go, it's not a good place in the north. I heard from my brother that there is very poor there and often fights. I still live well today, so I can't be a ghost tomorrow..."
The more I talked, the more sad I became, and gradually I couldn't swallow it. I buried my face in the pillow and started to cry.
Jiang Fosang didn't say anything, and reached out with one hand to caress her shoulders and back.
After a while, the crying gradually stopped.
Jiang Foyin raised a small face that was wrinkled and sobbed, "Sister, do you think I have a day to return to Beijing? Can I still come back alive? If I die in the north, I... can't see him for the last time, I will never die with my eyes."
Jiang Fosang frowned when he heard this: "Amiao, I'm about to say it to you."
This is also the purpose of her coming tonight.
"Forget him. Marry him and live a good life. Although there are often military wars in the north, the Hu family will be a rare place to be safe."
Jiang Foyin stared at her in a daze, her pure eyes full of disbelief: "I thought my sister would understand me, even you... I have him in my heart, just as you have Pei Yi in my heart, sister, tell me, can you forget Pei Yi?"
Jiang Fosang was stunned for a moment, unable to help but feel a little embarrassed.
How should she explain her mood changes?
He simply made a decision: "So what if you don't forget it, it's hopeless after all. I can't marry into the Pei family, and even the family can't marry our Jiang family. No matter how much love you have, it's futile. You'll swing your sword of wisdom and break it too early."
The cardamom girl, who is in love, can't she listen to the advice of a riddled person who has experienced it?
Just like in the past life, she often wiped the unknown corner of her heart when she was behind her back?
It was not until the turn of fate that the hands of fate threw her into the deeper torrent, and until the southeastern land was spreading, she realized that compared to living and living better, the love between men and women was so small that it was simply worth talking about.
Even if life begins again, her mood will never return to her original appearance. So when she meets Pei Yi again, she still appreciates her, but her mood will no longer be controlled by him.
However, Jiang Foyin has never experienced these things.
Her world is still a scent of birds and flowers. She is full of hope and passion for everything. She is still willing to give her true love to others, even if she doesn't get a response.
"I don't care! As long as he is within his sight, I will not feel hopeless... But if I marry to Chongzhou, I will never see him again."
