After Hanshan entered the account, his tongue was shining like a lotus flower, and Kai Rui was in the audience. He was much more professional than what Zhu Yijun explained. Zhang Siwei and other Han officials were made up by Zhu Yijun. Hanshan told a big lie and fell into defeat, thinking secretly.
This emperor's imagination is really scary.
Because of the quarrel in Hulahachi, the atmosphere in the golden tent was difficult to return to its previous state. The chiefs had their own thoughts, and the Han officials were preoccupied, and they no longer focused on what Sonam Gyatso said.
The topic turned to the content of the emperor's edict.
The imperial edict only stated the general outline, and each item in it must have specific implementation details. Zhang Siwei and others had already communicated the implementation measures with the emperor before, so it was not difficult to explain it at this time.
This is what a banquet is like. If you don't think much about singing and dancing, you drink the wine slowly and it's not easy to get drunk. Once you enter the intrigue stage, in order to show the deep feelings of the person you are talking to, you drink the wine quickly and it is especially easy to get intoxicated.
The Han officials were better off, but the chiefs, because they drank such delicious wine for the first time and had a bold temperament, soon became drunk and were carried to their tents to sober up.
The Duoluo tribe is in the West Sea. The leader Huo Luochi is also called Bingtu. Because he has the same name as Bintu, the grandson of Ji Nang in the Ordos tribe, the court generally calls him Huo Luochi. Huo Luochi is the fourth son of the old Shunyi King, Temur.
They are half brothers.
Huo Luochi's greatest contribution was the construction of Yanghua Temple in the second year of Wanli. Because of the "Yanghua Temple Meeting" between Anda and Suonan Gyatso, the religious landscape on the grassland was completely changed. Suonan
Gyatso was very fond of Huo Luochi - he gave him much more "guidance" than Hu Lahachi.
Hu's father has no sons, and Huo Luochi's city is deeper than Hu Lahachi's. He had known Suonan Gyatso's intentions, but other than showing respect, he did not speak loudly. At this time, everyone was already drunk.
It was almost a mess. There were piles here and there in the golden tent, so he stood up from his seat.
After getting up, he first glanced in the direction of the emperor. When he saw Temuer kneeling in front of the throne to toast the emperor, and the emperor spoke to him warmly, he curled his lips.
After much hesitation, he took his interpreter and walked up to Zhang Siwei with a wine glass. After toasting, he pulled him away and walked to the corner of the golden tent.
Zhang Siwei asked him what was going on? Huo Luochi blushed and whispered, "I have a merciless request."
Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you just say it."
Huo Luochi murmured for a long time before saying: "I want to ask to marry the emperor... this daughter of the clan will be the royal wife, and I will definitely respect her..."
As he spoke, the interpreter translated at the same time. Before Zhang Siwei waited for the interpreter to finish speaking, the smile on his face disappeared, as if a layer of frost covered his face, and he said in a cold voice: "You... are really heartless.
please."
Huo Luochi was still mumbling for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Now that His Majesty the Khan has said that Mongolians and Chinese are one body and share the same origin, my request is not a 'marriage'."
Zhang Siwei glanced around, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said sternly: "You don't have to say it anymore, it's absolutely impossible! Even if King Shunyi, Hu Lahachi and others have such evil thoughts, there is no possibility at all!"
After saying this, Zhang Siwei flicked his sleeves and was about to walk away from Huo Luochi. In desperation, Huo Luochi grabbed Zhang Siwei's sleeves and held him back.
Zhang Siwei's face was full of anger, he turned his head and looked Huo Luochi up and down, and sneered: "What do you want to do? If you get tired of living, I can help you!"
Huo Luochi said in a low voice: "Master Zhang, don't be upset. I have one more thing to say."
Zhang Siwei pulled open the sleeves of his robe and said while adjusting his clothes: "You tell me."
"This, if you can't ask to marry a daughter of the clan, I have a fourteen-year-old girl here, named Cena, who is very beautiful. I would like to offer this to His Majesty the Emperor to express my submission."
He was afraid that Zhang Siwei would even object to this, so he quickly handed over his trump card and said: "There is no need to make her a concubine, just 'Jieyu'. I promise, she is absolutely beautiful and has a good personality."
When Zhang Siwei heard this, he stayed there and scratched his head. He sipped his teeth and didn't know how to reply to Huo Luochi's sincere expression.
After thinking for a long time, he beckoned Shen Shixing over, then quickly told Huo Luochi's request in a low voice, and then asked: "Is there any precedent for this in our country before?"
Shen Shixing was drunk a lot by King Shunyi and others, and his face was red. After listening to Zhang Siwei's words, his eyes were a little straight.
Rolling his eyes and reminiscing, Shen Shixing said: "Taizu Shiweng's concubine was a daughter of Yuan Chen Weng Ji Ladai, and she was quite favored. Chengzu once took the daughter of Tamerlane, the obedient uncle, as his concubine, and gave birth to the fourth emperor. Zi Gaoyun. Later, Emperor Chengzu adopted the obedient granddaughter Wu as his concubine Hui, the one with the posthumous title of Zhenshun. Later, there was no more. Well, the late emperor, the late emperor had that slave..."
Zhang Siwei hurriedly interrupted: "This rumor among the public is not worthy of belief."
After hearing this, Shen Shixing blinked his eyes and continued: "To say that the emperor of the Central Plains has no taboo against marrying women from other races. Taizu and Chengzu also had concubines who were Koreans and had some background; Queen Xiaomuji was from the Yao She is the mother of Xiaozong. The emperor also accepted several Korean girls before..."
Zhang Siwei coughed twice more and faced Huo Luochidao: "Your goal is to let Cena enter the palace, right? What did you say before about marrying a clan daughter..."
When Shen Shixing heard that Huo Luochi had previously thought of marrying a clan daughter, she rolled her eyes and looked him up and down, and sneered: "Are you crazy?"
Huo Luochi wiped the sweat from his head and said with a wry smile: "You two adults, please forgive me. Isn't this just nonsense?"
Shen Shixing scolded him in a low voice: "You can't do it even if you think about it in your heart. Even thinking about it is guilty!"
Huo Luoluo was still angry and said: "Why can people from the Central Plains marry daughters from our grassland, but we can't marry girls from the Central Plains? The emperor also mentioned the Hanmeng family."
Shen Shixing blinked again and said to him: "Well, it didn't say that you can't marry a Han girl. But the clan can't. The emperor is a Bodhisattva! Are you a Bodhisattva? Just say it, you are a relative of the Bodhisattva family. Why marry?"
This was not unreasonable at all. Huo Luo laughed angrily and asked: "Then according to what you said, who can marry the princess or the clan daughter?"
Huo Luochi's words stopped Shen Shixing from questioning him. He couldn't say anything more, as it would destroy unity. Zhang Siwei quickly smoothed things over and said:
"Huo Luochi, I will report your thoughts to the emperor, and then let's see what the emperor wants."
...
After Zhu Yijun calmed down some of the main Mongolian chieftains, he returned to his tent to rest. After he left, everyone in the golden tent completely let out joy and continued to make noise until dark.
At the suggestion of Tashara, the leader of Nenhorqin, a bonfire banquet was held. Everyone ate barbecue, wrestled, danced and drank until late at night.
Empress Dowager Li was listening to the commotion in her sleeping tent in the distance. She felt very itchy and wanted to come and see the excitement. Zhu Yijun, who came to pay her respects, was helpless and had to ask someone to arrange for a dancer from Tashara to come and dance for the Empress Dowager tomorrow. .
After Zhu Yijun accompanied Empress Dowager Li to finish the meal and returned to the sleeping tent again, Zhang Siwei asked to see him. Zhu Yijun asked him to enter the tent and asked him: "Why are you here with me if you are not at the banquet."
Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "I have been too drunk for a long time and have already left the table." After that, he told the story about Huo Luo Chi's Cena, and also said that he wanted to get married at the beginning.
Zhu Yijun frowned after hearing this and said: "The matter of marriage has long been taught by our ancestors and there is no need to discuss it again. However, the court should encourage the marriage between Mongolians and Han people."
Zhang Siwei nodded and said: "I also think so. If the emperor accepts Cena, he will be the first to take the lead. He will set an example. Also, Huo Luochi brought Cena with him. I had already asked Chen Ju to see it just now.
Yeah, it’s true that... she’s beautiful, and she can also speak a few words of Chinese that’s not fluent.”
Zhu Yijun couldn't laugh or cry after hearing the excitement of these courtiers. He smiled bitterly and said: "Who is the first to set an example? What is the identity of Cena's mother?"
Zhang Siwei responded: "It's not like Huo Luo Chi, but it's also not a female slave. It can be regarded as a wife, a concubine..."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The women I have accepted before, including those from North Korea, are all legitimate daughters."
Zhang Siwei bowed and said: "I understand. I will tell Huo Luochi the emperor's wishes tomorrow." After saying that, he was about to leave.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "If Huo Luochi must marry the clan, he can choose a young man from the clan to marry his daughter. I can be the middle man and give him face."
...
The next day, after Huo Luochi woke up from drunkenness, he was summoned by Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei explained the emperor's intention, but Huo Luochi remained silent.
Zhang Siwei comforted him and said: "Your Majesty is sincere and loyal, and the Emperor appreciates it. But Cena's mother is not precious and is not worthy of the emperor. You need to understand more."
After hearing this, Huo Luochi rolled his eyes and suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Zhang Siwei.
Listening to the dignified-looking Chief Meng, she said loudly: "Zena's mother, Yena, is a Persian, so I like her very much. She has only one daughter and is not involved in the succession of the throne. I decided to depose my wife and make Yena the queen."
For Ketun!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Siwei eagerly and said: "In this way, the emperor can accept my daughter, right?"
Zhang Siwei first had a question mark on his head, then spit out a mouthful of tea on the ground, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "What about this - I have to ask the emperor. What the hell, I've become a matchmaker running errands!"
Huo Luochi first signaled his interpreter to go out, then he dug into his arms and took out a palm-sized piece of mutton-fat white jade. He spoke in broken Chinese and said, "This little thought, this, what. Please accept it."
The white jade was flawless. Zhang Siwei, as rich as he was, had never seen such beautiful jade. He waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "Get away, I am willing to run errands, what are you doing with this thing!"
No matter what he said, Huo Luochi forced it into his hand and said, "It means, it means, there is no other meaning."
