Chapter 51 The Gaochang Dynasty Worships the Emperor
Soon, these idle women figured out Cui Xiurong's true identity. She was actually the daughter of the Boling Cui family and the new minister of the Ministry of Industry, Cui Mingan.
The identity of the girl from the Ministry of Industry and Trade is not very good, and no one pays attention to it. Most people are actually paying attention to the identity of the daughter of the Boling Cui family. Many ladies secretly put aside their contempt and prepared to make a good friend of this woman.
Cui Xiurong.
Only when you enter the circle of ladies like them will you understand that all the glory they possess comes from their husbands and their family.
Not to mention, the wife of Shangshu Zuopushe and Cai Guogong Du Ruhui was born in Jingzhao Weishi. Her husband was the Prime Minister of the dynasty, the Duke of the country, and the emperor's confidant. She herself was from a famous family, and was in the circle of ladies.
The status should not be too high.
Besides, the wife of Xuanling, the Minister of Punishment, was born in the Lu family of Fanyang, and her status was also very high.
But they don't dare to underestimate Cui Xiurong.
Although Cui Xiurong is only one of the nine concubines now, her high family background is enough for them to respect her.
Just like they respect Empress Yang, who was born in the Yang family of Hongnong.
Only women from aristocratic families are worthy of the respect of women from aristocratic families.
Cui Mansion.
"I never expected that the Boling Cui family would be so shameless. They would sacrifice their daughters to seek a position. This is a disgrace to our family!" Cui Yixuan cursed with acid in his stomach as he drank wine.
Cui Hongdao beside him sighed, not knowing what to say. Who could have imagined that the Boling Cui family's secrets were buried so deeply.
After scolding for a while, Cui Yixuan suddenly remembered something and looked at Cui Hongdao.
"Brother, what do you think I'm doing?" Cui Hongdao was puzzled.
"I remember that Zhenniang seems to be almost of marriageable age."
Cui Hongdao: "..."
In February, King Wentai of Gaochang personally came to Chang'an to pay homage and presented rare birds to the emperor. The emperor was very happy and led his people to hunt in Kunming Pond.
Kunming Pool was originally built to practice water fighting, but later it gradually became a place for boating and recreation. In the first two years, it showed signs of drying up. The emperor ordered slaves from the grasslands to dredge and divert water into the pool to maintain its original appearance as much as possible.
Lingbo Hall.
After the hunting was over, the emperor hosted a banquet for Wang Wentai of Gaochang.
The name of King Gaochang was Qu Wentai. He became King of Gaochang in the sixth year of Wude. This was his first visit to Chang'an to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
When he saw Emperor Li Zhiyun of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, only two words appeared in Qu Wentai's mind: young.
Too young.
Such a young emperor killed the terrible Turks?
Perhaps because he was frightened by the magnificent achievements of the Tang Dynasty in foreign wars, Qu Wentai was respectful to the young emperor of the Tang Dynasty and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
He knew very well that if the emperor could kill the Turks, he could kill himself. After all, Gaochang Kingdom was incomparable to the Turkic Empire.
Seeing the emperor's young face, Qu Wentai suddenly sighed slightly.
Li Zhiyun asked with a smile: "Why did King Gaochang sigh?"
If it weren't for Gaochang State being stuck at the choke point of the Silk Road, Li Zhiyun would not bother to meet the king of this small country.
Over in the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty cannot send troops for the time being. He can only stabilize the Gaochang Kingdom to prevent them from imitating Tuyuhun and plundering Tang merchants everywhere.
Qu Wentai praised: "A year ago, Xiao Wang welcomed an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty in Gaochang Kingdom. The man was no more than three years old, but he had the courage to go to Tianzhu to obtain the scriptures. Now Xiao Wang sees that His Majesty is also so young.
He wiped out the ferocious Turks, which is really admirable. The Eastern Tang Dynasty is really a place of outstanding people."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun stopped bringing the wine cup to his lips and asked, "Is that person Xuanzang?"
"Exactly."
That's right, Xuanzang is one year older than me, currently twenty-nine.
"He has already passed Gaochang." Li Zhiyun chuckled. This Xuanzang really had great perseverance.
Qu Wentai noticed that the emperor seemed to have some friendship with the eminent monk Xuanzang, so he told him about his reception to Xuanzang.
It is said that he arranged for Xuanzang to lecture in the treasure tent of the Chongge Pavilion. Every time Xuanzang started to lecture, he would personally hold the incense burner and stand aside. He also became brothers with Xuanzang and so on.
Li Zhiyun didn't have much intention to listen to this, so he interrupted him and asked: "Before Xuanzang left, I gave him a customs clearance document. Did you stamp it?"
This was his bad taste, because when he asked Xuanzang to go get Buddhist scriptures, he suddenly thought of the customs clearance document, so he sent someone to deliver it to Xuanzang. At the same time, this was also regarded as a talisman for Xuanzang.
If the principals of the countries in the Western Regions saw the Emperor of Tang's customs clearance document, they would give him two cents.
After all, Xuanzang was just a monk, and those countries in the Western Regions had no need to embarrass him.
Of course, he did not personally go to Xuanzang, nor did he give him wine. As for grabbing a handful of ashes and throwing them into the wine for Xuanzang to drink, he did not do such boring things.
However, Li Zhiyun once said to Xuanzang: I would rather care about my hometown for a piece of soil than love a foreign country for ten thousand taels of gold.
After all, he could count on Xuanzang to come back from Tathagata Buddha and tell him how prosperous the land of Tianzhu was.
"Xiao Wang stamped the seal." Qu Wentai replied.
"Okay." Li Zhiyun chuckled and had another drink with him.
At this moment, Queen Yuwen Yubo of Gaochang walked out of the queue and paid homage to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am a Chinese daughter who married far away to Gaochang. Now I am thinking of our imperial power, and I request your Majesty to allow me to recognize my ancestor and return to my clan."
In the eighth year of his reign, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty canonized Yuwen Yubo as Princess Huarong and married her to Qu Boya, the previous generation king of Gaochang. Later, Qu Boya died and his son Qu Wentai succeeded to the throne and married Yuwen Yubo as Queen of Gaochang.
To be fair, the Queen of Gaochang has an ordinary appearance, nothing eye-catching, and she even has the shadow of a woman from the Western Regions. However, her eyes are particularly energetic.
She was not from the royal family of the Sui and Yang Dynasties, but was just a palace maid who was 'lucky' to be chosen by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to marry. In order to survive, she had already given up the etiquette, poetry and calligraphy of the Central Plains women.
At this moment, she stood up and asked the emperor without hesitation, hoping to join the Li Tang royal family.
Only in this way, no one in Gao Changguo would dare to do anything to her.
Since Li Zhiyun planned to stabilize Gaochang State, he was naturally happy to do this. He immediately issued an edict to give her the surname Li and change her title to Princess Chang Le.
Late at night, the emperor stayed at Yuzhang Terrace in Kunming Pool, and was attended by Lu Cairen.
The people of Lu are Lu Yu and Lu Congbi.
This woman's husband, Du Caigan, was executed for rebellion and his family was destroyed. She was banished to the harem. Because of her abundant milk supply, she became the wet nurse of the little princess. Later, she was lucky enough to be granted the title of Talented Person by Li Zhiyun.
"Your Majesty, you still need to drink less. The Queen has asked my concubines to take care of Your Majesty. Please pay more attention to Your Majesty." Lu Yu took off her clothes for the Emperor and said softly.
Li Zhiyun put his arms around this beautiful mature woman and began to nibble on her. The two of them fell on the couch and fell into each other's arms for an hour.
Lu Yu was exhausted and fell into the emperor's arms, enjoying the afterglow after the storm. The emperor made her whole body hurt, but it was also mixed with ecstatic carnival.
Li Zhiyun has always been unscrupulous towards women. As long as he sees the right one, he doesn't care whether she is a virgin or not.
He also has his own way of appreciating married women.
What's more, this Lu Yu has a unique charm of her own.
When little Pixiu was still breastfeeding, Li Zhiyun attacked Lu Yu, the wet nurse, and even robbed his daughter of her food.
Li Zhiyun asked in a low voice in her ear: "What did my concubine eat? Why is it so fascinating to me?"
Lu Yu understood, her face flushed, and she said in a trembling voice: "I've always been like this, I didn't eat anything in particular."
She had always known that the emperor liked the instrument she used to breastfeed the little princess very much.
That's what she's most proud of.
"I'm not done yet, I still want to taste a little more."
Next, naturally, there was another cloud and rain.
The red river crab slowly crawled across the ground, leaving a string of small black spots.
