775. The Gu Family and the Eight Great Tribes of the Yan Kingdom
Wen Ranran didn't understand it all of a sudden.
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean, the ambition of your Rongguo emperor started more than ten years ago..." Qian Qian smiled slyly and winked at Wen Ranran.
Wen Ranran was stunned for a moment with the hand holding the cup, and then she realized what she was doing.
No wonder... Wen Ranran always thought that when she was young, Wen Zhong took her to travel around the world and wrote letters to the court every time he went, just to fulfill his ambition of traveling around the world when he was old.
At my grandfather's age, he is proficient in tomb robbing and unlocking, but what he carries most with him is calligraphy brushes and rice paper.
Everywhere he went, he would write down his experiences, and every once in a while, the manuscripts he carried would be taken away by a certain person.
At that time, my grandfather was not actually traveling, but just completing a mission. As a ranger, he inspected every place on the border of the five countries.
It is precisely because of this that the young Emperor Rongcheng was able to send troops effectively every time and win every time.
Wen Ranran took a breath of air and couldn't help but admire Emperor Rongcheng's thoughts.
This old emperor... although he is said to be unkind, he is indeed a kind of ominous emperor.
Emperor Rongcheng was not a good emperor in the true sense. He was philandering, sentimental, and had all the faults of an emperor, but he was attracted by Empress Tao.
He fought for many years and expanded his territory, but he also reduced taxes and reduced taxes and paid little in taxes.
He cares about the world, but he always plots against the court... When Wen Ranran gets along with him, she can always feel endless pressure. He is a Ming Emperor, but he still has to consider where he is.
"Stop talking about this... I'm a little curious, why do you say that the Gu family in Yizhou is similar to the imperial court of Rongguo?"
This is what Wen Ranran is most curious about.
Qianqian failed to change the topic and smiled helplessly, "You are really too smart!"
Wen Ranran shrugged.
Qian Qian sighed, and her usually unruly expression slowly faded away, and she looked like a normal man.
He lightly opened his thin lips and said softly, "It's very simple, it's because of the national policy! It's not unreasonable that the Yan State has been eyeing the Central Plains for so many years. Their geographical location is in the grassland, with a huge temperature difference, so they are mainly nomadic. Therefore, in
Within the Yan Kingdom, it is normal to fight for years."
"Tribes compete for resources, food, cattle, sheep, and horses. Each tribe has its own totem. They have believed in these for generations and believe that those mythical beasts will turn into gods to protect them."
"And Yizhou is a special place in Yan State."
Special? How special? She has only heard that Yizhou is located on Wushan Mountain and is the most famous mountain city there. The entire city is built on the mountainside. It is the source of the Yanjiang River and the richest place in the Yan Kingdom.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's because of...tribal war?"
"Well, Wushan is also called Wujishan. In the legend of the Yan people, this is the mountain range that was transformed into the backbone of Pangu when he created the sky. A Wushan not only isolates the guests from harassment, but also produces various ores.
It has also brought unlimited wealth to the people of Yan State, and the Gu family, and the Black Tiger Tribe it is attached to, is one of the eight most famous tribes on the grassland."
"What about the other tribes?"
"There is a golden lion that symbolizes the court of King Yan, and the other six are, blue bird, fire fox, black snake, red deer, gray rat, and white eagle!"
Wen Ranran touched her chin and subconsciously remembered these tribes in her heart.
Fortunately, I asked in advance, otherwise, if I really want to go to Yan country in the future, I will really be blind.
"In other words, the Golden Lion Tribe symbolizes the Imperial Court of Yan, and the other tribes each have their own beliefs, but because they were subdued by the Imperial Tribe, they settled in a corner and did their own thing, and you Gu family
Is the attached Black Tiger Tribe similar to the previous Shu King’s position in Rongguo?”
