He knew clearly that his grandson would definitely accept this princess and sister from the Western Regions.
So, what benefits can he get from this?
Wang Jinyi was indeed loyal to his grandson and the court, but this did not prevent him from climbing up the ranks.
When they first graduate, not everyone can be directly promoted to Qianhu. No matter how flexible they are, this still depends on the arrangement of the college.
In order to be promoted to Qianhu, he spent a lot of connections among them.
This is the way of the world. Even if you are strong enough, you still need the support of noble people.
The affection accumulated previously had been exhausted when he took up the post of Uszangdu Si Qianhu.
This was only possible because of his outstanding graduates and the fact that Us Tibet was located on a border.
Thinking of this, Wang Jinyi looked at the queen carefully, thought about it in his mind, and said, "Now the Turks from far away are leading a large army to invade Tubo in the Western Region. I heard that many small countries have been destroyed as a result."
"The Huhu Kingdom suddenly sacrificed its two princesses at this time, probably just to gain protection from the Ming Dynasty."
"But the queen needs to know that it is at least a month's journey to reach the capital from here, and the journey is tiring and the three of them are women. It is not that easy."
"Even after arriving in the capital, does the queen think that Her Majesty the Grand Sun will definitely be able to see the two princesses? Let me tell you, there are countless envoys from all nations living in the Tianjie Temple in the capital."
"As for His Highness Taisun's love for beauty, it has been spread throughout the world. Those who hold the Queen's thoughts are not just the majority, but they all want to climb up the branches and become phoenixes."
"But for them, let alone meeting the grandson, it is impossible for them to enter the palace."
"The small Hu Hu country has a population of less than a thousand households. It is not as good as a small village in the Ming Dynasty. It is a blessing to be able to live in Tianjie Temple when I go to the capital. As for meeting the grandson, I am afraid it is not just a dream."
Wang Jinyi spoke in Turkic language, and he did not know that the queen knew Chinese.
These words not only shocked the queen's heart, but also shattered the illusions of the two princesses behind her.
They think things too simply.
The queen noticed the changes in her two daughters and said, "My lord, could you please let my two daughters step aside first? There are some things that they should not know about."
The queen said these words in Chinese, which was not very fluent, and her handwriting was even more unfamiliar.
Wang Jinyi was a little surprised when he heard this, and then replied: "Okay."
After saying that, he called the guards and took the two princesses down.
At the same time, he ordered the guards to inform the female officials in the palace and bring some guards to take the two princesses to play.
"Thank you, sir. They have never been out of the palace, so they are very curious about everything." The queen replied gratefully.
When the sisters came in, they couldn't control their expressions at all. They were so weird that they couldn't hide it.
Wang Jinyi also guessed that there were no rumors of two sisters in the Western Regions, so naturally they had been kept in the palace.
"And I still don't know the queen's name." Wang Jinyi asked after the sisters left.
The queen bowed slightly: "Noiz Anton Domagoy Spears Ciporiano de Aida, please just call me Aida."
Wang Jinyi slightly cupped his hands when he heard this: "I didn't expect that the queen is still the queen of the Huns nobles."
During the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were defeated by the Central Plains and retreated to the Western Regions, conquering all the way to the west.
The Xiongnu, who were reduced to a remnant army in the Central Plains, became the overlord of the Western Regions, and then continued to conquer all the way to the west, establishing a huge Xiongnu Empire.
Over time, the Xiongnu Empire collapsed and turned into many fragmented small forces.
Wang Jinyi lives in Uzang and has done some research on the history, geography, and customs of the Western Regions, Tubo, and even further afield.
This is why he was able to serve as the chief envoy of the Delhi Sultan.
Wang Jinyi still has some knowledge of Tungusic, the main language of the Xiongnu, so he knows the meaning of this name.
The long suffix at the front represents past glory, such as ancestors, family, titles, etc., and the last one is your own name.
Aida is not a pure Xiongnu. She is a descendant of the nobles from the Middle East who were conquered by the Xiongnu. However, after the great integration of the ethnic groups, she is still regarded as a descendant of the nobles of the Xiongnu Empire.
Aida smiled bitterly and said: "Those are all things of the past. My tribe was wiped out by the Mongols more than ten years ago."
After a slight pause, Aida said: "Our small Huhu country is no better than the bright moon and fireflies compared to the higher country in the sky. Since you have told me to go to the capital and it is difficult to meet the grandson, please teach me how to get it."
See grandson."
"My small Huhu country is in embarrassment and has no money. Even when I came here, the king had nothing but a carriage. As long as you are willing to help me, I can agree to any request."
Aida's posture is very low, bowing slightly, which means surrender.
Another meaning in the words is that he is willing to exchange his body for Wang Jinyi's help.
After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and gently exposed his snow-white shoulders. The intention in this is self-evident.
Wang Jinyi was shocked when he saw this, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Queen, please respect yourself!"
He was frightened.
Although the queen's beauty is also the most beautiful in the world, how can she have the courage?
After this, the two princesses went to the capital and became the concubines of the grandson.
And he slept with the queen, what happened?
His Highness Taisun’s cheap father-in-law?
Wouldn't that be seeking death on one's own initiative?
The guards outside heard the shouting and barged in.
Aida had already put her clothes in order.
"It's okay, just step back."
"As commanded."
After the guards went out, Wang Jinyi looked at Aida speechlessly.
Aida also realized that she seemed to be mistaken.
"Queen, I can help you get a chance to meet His Highness Taisun after you get to the capital, but you have to know that there is no free meal in this world. This will consume a lot of my love and relationships."
"For this reason, I have to spend a lot of money and ask for help from others. Even so, I may not be able to successfully meet my grandson."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Therefore, I need you to promise that after the two princesses become the concubines of the grandson, you will give me some help, such as saying a few kind words in front of the grandson."
"My family has left me a house in the capital. When the queen comes to the capital, the house can be used for the queen to live in."
Wang Jinyi didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, so he simply went straight to the point.
Aida felt relieved after hearing this.
"Please rest assured, sir, Aida will never forget your kindness."
Wang Jinyi nodded.
In fact, for him, as long as the two princesses become the concubines of the grandson, he is equivalent to showing his face to the grandson.
According to the rules of the palace, Jin Yiwei will check everything here.
"I must report this to the Grand Governor. In two days, I will personally lead the army to escort the queen and princesses to the capital."
"Next, please invite the queen and the princesses to spend two days in this city. I will ask the guards to accompany you to ensure the safety of the queen and princesses."
Some time ago, I received a letter from the capital, saying that His Highness Taisun would hold a national commendation meeting for outstanding young generals of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that there are hundreds of people on the roster.
Those who can go to the capital have to be at the Qianhu level at the very least.
Wang Jinyi happens to have this quota.
Speaking of which, he supported the Delhi Sultan and brought back the last of the Delhi Sultan's guards.
There were more than 4,000 people, and everyone was a professional soldier. After coming to Uzang, they also became part of the Ming army.
The commander of the Jinyi Guards is now appointed as the deputy commander of Uzang, with a thousand-household level, and has been assigned a separate thousand-household office.
Even if Aida and others don't come, Wang Jinyi will go to Beijing in a while.
The imperial court asked him to bring Karamo, the former commander of the Delhi Sultan's guard, and the eighth prince of King Mahmud, a descendant of the Tughluq dynasty, to the capital.
After the queen left.
Zhou Cheng also came over.
Zhou Cheng was a classmate and good friend of Wang Jinyi. When he went to the Delhi Sultan, he proposed the idea of abducting his guards. It was Zhou Cheng who came up with the idea.
Now Zhou Cheng has also been promoted to the position of deputy commander with the help of his meritorious service.
This was a huge surprise to Zhou Cheng. After all, he did not have Wang Jinyi's talents and connections.
It was originally because of his bravery that he became a subordinate when he graduated.
Coming to the border is his best choice.
"Tsk, tsk, those sisters are really beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life. Are you really... really... do you think you have a face?"
Wang Jinyi was speechless: "I feel sorry for you. I really don't understand how you passed the test in the first place."
Zhou Cheng smiled and said: "The academy doesn't test allusions, so you're not tempted?"
Wang Jinyi looked serious: "Put away your petty thoughts. If the future is good, the two princesses will most likely be canonized as the concubines of the grandson. If your current remarks are heard by someone who cares about it, what will happen in the future."
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he immediately felt frightened and couldn't help but said: "You can't tell, right? There are only two of us here."
Wang Jinyi cursed: "Get out."
Zhou Cheng shrugged and said, "Just kidding, I came here to ask you when we will set off. Karamo is already ready."
Wang Jinyi said: "Two days from now, in the early morning, King Huhu, Queen and Princess will go to the capital together."
"I'm warning you, be careful and respectful when you speak in the future. If you let those two princesses have a bad feeling towards you, I'll see if you can handle His Highness's pillow talk."
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say anything.
If this were to happen, his future would not be ruined, and he might even be held accountable.
.....
This is the first time that Amila and Ibaidi came to such a prosperous place.
Even though this was the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, the feeling of being filled with people was something they had never experienced before.
They had never seen all kinds of knick-knacks on the stalls in Huhu Country.
They had no money, were naive, and didn't know that they had to pay. When the vendor talked about the price with a smile, the two women looked at a loss, but the female officer who followed them contacted him and helped pay.
In Uzangdusi, there are also many families of soldiers living here. The restructuring of the Ming Dynasty also added some positions for women. Although they are not officials, they are still considered officials.
"It's really fun here. There are so many people here. It feels like there are more people here than all the people in Huhu Country put together."
"I heard that this is the border gate of the Ming Dynasty. Going to the capital of the Ming Dynasty is even more lively than here. I can't imagine how lively it will be."
"Don't you understand this? The newspaper said that the capital of the Ming Dynasty is the largest city under the blue sky, with two to three million people."
"How many people are two to three million people, sister?"
"About...equivalent to five hundred Huhu countries?"
"The Ming Dynasty is so big. It's as big as five hundred Huhu countries. Wow, it's so big. I can't even visit it all in a few days."
"When my mother taught you to read, you knew how to play. The Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty was as big as five hundred Huhu countries. Our country was only as big as a village in the Ming Dynasty, and there were thousands of such villages in the Ming Dynasty.
Ten thousand."
"Is a village a Huhu country?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go play there. I heard that we will leave for the capital in two days. It will take a long time and we will be exhausted by then."
"My butt hurts from sitting too."
The two sisters chatted happily, but were also worried about the bumps on the road.
They had never ridden in a carriage before, and it cost them half their lives to travel from Huhu Country to Uzzandusi.
After only two days of rest, I had to ride a carriage again.
Two days later.
When they took the carriage to Daming, they felt completely different.
Over the years, Zhu Ying has been in charge of the capital, and the entire world has undergone great changes.
The most obvious one is the construction of official roads.
After the construction of the North-South Expressway was completed, Ming Dynasty's infrastructure construction had no intention of stopping.
For the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, the treasury has too much money to spend. The project has not been approved yet, and the treasury has received a large sum of money.
Therefore, they naturally support the vigorous construction of official roads.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How many of these officials are thinking about making a fortune from building official roads. Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying still banned it repeatedly.
Money-grubbing methods are diverse and increasingly subtle.
However, the construction of official roads never stopped.
When he was stationed in Uzang and building the capital city of Uzang, Zhu Ying had already started to build this official road.
Historically, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di also built such an official road to Uzang.
In the twelfth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who had just returned from the northern expedition to Mobei, suddenly made a decision that many ministers opposed: a special sum of money would be allocated to start from today's Ya'an, Sichuan, and go westward.
Build a post road.
Having been at war with the Mongols for a long time, and Zheng He's journey to the west, the national treasury was empty and the people's strength was exhausted. Now they had to build a post road to Uzang, which was opposed by the ministers.
But Zhu Di insisted on doing it, and the officials scolded anyone who objected, and finally punished him directly.
In this regard, Zhu Di is very similar to his father Zhu Yuanzhang, with strong prestige.
After being scolded many times and being dizzy, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, finally managed to collect the money. Then the project started rumbling, and almost all of the "Three Kings of Uzang" canonized by the Ming Dynasty were mobilized, and people of all ethnic groups along the way contributed vigorously.
.
It is not only an important route for local leaders of Uzbekistan to come to Beijing to have an audience, but has since become a wealth channel connecting the southwest.
In the Ming Dynasty, the tea and horse trading market was set up along the road, which has been prosperous since then, and the economy of exchanges between various ethnic groups has become more and more prosperous.
Half a century after the completion of this road, the amount of tea imported from the mainland to the snowy areas through this road has exceeded one million kilograms.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, this amount exceeded 5 million jin.
Those who benefited jointly were not only the people's livelihood economy in the southwest, but also the national finance of the Ming Dynasty.
In the words of Gu Yanwu in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the present, everything depends on this benefit.
This shows that Zhu Di's own vision is very good.
Even now that he has gone to Japan to become an overseas vassal king, his overall strength, both overt and covert, is still the strongest among the four vassal kings.
Zhu Ying has never seen these historical materials, and even if he has, he doesn't remember them.
However, he knew that if he wanted to complete his rule over distant places, building official roads was a necessary process. Now that the Ming Dynasty had money, building such a road was just a drop in the bucket for the Ming Dynasty's treasury, so naturally no officials would object.
On the contrary, officials and people in the areas near Uzang gave strong support.
Officials can achieve political achievements, and corrupt officials can also make money.
The people here are paid by the court, and they are not forced to work in vain. Of course, everyone is happy.
Therefore, this official road is flatter and broader than the one built by Zhu Di in history.
Amyra and Ibaidi had completely different feelings when they were sitting in the carriage.
This is a carriage from the Ming Dynasty, specially designed for high-ranking officials. After all, this is a princess who is very likely to become the grandson's concubine.
The spacious carriage is not comparable to the small carriage of Huhu Country.
There are not only sleeping couches inside, but also a tea table for drinking tea.
The mother and daughter had never seen such a carriage before. It was like a mobile house.
There's even room to move around here.
Although Daming's carriage did not have rubber tires, Zhu Ying had it have an improved spring device and added a shock-absorbing function for enjoyment.
Such carriages were originally considered trespassing, but Zhu Ying relaxed the restrictions and gave an order to establish a merchant association specializing in selling such luxury carriages, which added a large amount of revenue to the Ming Dynasty treasury.
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked at the number of entries, also expressed that it didn't matter.
RVs similar to this style have become standard equipment for wealthy businessmen and nobles in various cities and towns.
Officials of sixth grade and above who travel to and from the inn can ride for free.
Those who are below the sixth grade will have to make up part of the money.
Naturally, Uszantusi also had one, so the mother and daughter were paired together.
At this point, when Wang Jinyi set off, he also said: "I feel wronged by the queen and princess. Uszandusi has not prepared a luxurious carriage, so we can only make do with it."
When the mother and daughter heard this, they were shocked and speechless.
Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, the hearts of the three of them also soared.
In the capital, Zhu Ying, who was busy making steel at the moment, didn't know that a pair of exotic sister princesses were running towards him.
