Chapter 111 True Identity [Congratulations to Li Na]
Xue Lingzi fell silent.
Others don't know about Huan Wen, but she doesn't know about it?
Yes, Huan Wen has indeed always wanted to usurp the throne. Everyone in the world knows this. But after all, during the Northern Expedition of Huan Wen's army, people had that idea but did not put it into practice. Huan Wen's plan has always been to regain the Central Plains
, and then used his great achievements and overwhelming power to force the kings and ministers of Jin to submit.
So some people were not happy that Huan Wen did this, some people were disgusted that the Huan Wen family was too powerful, and some people were too "loyal" to His Majesty the Emperor, so they did countless ugly things in the name of justice, and they even did not hesitate to do so.
They betrayed the most core intelligence to the Hu people. They even dared to ruin the chance of recovering the Central Plains, cut off the supply of baggage to the front line, and deliberately blocked waterways to put Huan Wen's army in a dilemma. All this was just to block the possibility of Huan Wen seizing the throne.
Sure enough, they got what they wanted. Huan Wen failed in all three Northern Expeditions. The land he regained was lost again, and his prestige was greatly reduced. In the end, when he was dying, he couldn't even add nine tins.
Xue Lingzi used to think that these were all natural things, but now, Xue Lingzi feels disgusting.
It is one thing whether Huan Wen should be emperor or not, but because of these people, the land that had been taken back from the Hu people was returned to them, and the people who had been liberated, those who had eaten pots of wine to welcome the king's army
The common people were once again enslaved by the barbarians and suffered brutal revenge. Tens of thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country were sacrificed in vain under the pretext of righteousness.
All of this made Xue Lingzi almost collapse.
So, when she came to the Western Region, she met Duan Ye.
Duan Ye saw Xue Lingzi's brows frowning slightly, and he knew that he had hit the nail on the head. However, in any case, Jiangnan could not be integrated quickly, which was beneficial to Duan Ye himself, so he could just stop there without saying too much.
"Okay, since you are here, you are my guest, why bother talking about these troublesome things? Let's talk about something happy." Duan Ye said with a smile.
"Huh?" Xue Lingzi raised his eyebrows, "What are you so happy about?"
"Hmm~~" Duan Ye quickly put on a sly smile, "For example, is it time to tell Duan Ye the girl's name? A Xue Lingzi's pseudonym is certainly nice, but I always feel that
It’s a bit awkward. You and I can achieve great things by working together. The most important thing is to be sincere. Now you know everything about me, but I don’t know everything about you. How can this be done?”
"Didn't Young Master Duan see things thousands of miles away and know all directions? Don't you know the little girl's name?" Xue Lingzi also relaxed and said with a smile.
Unfortunately, due to that damn layer of cloth, Duan Ye could only see her smile through her crescent-shaped eyes.
"Um, I really don't know this, please let me know."
"you guess?"
Duan Ye was immediately embarrassed. He didn't expect that women in this era could be so...well, so clever. He had forgotten that since ancient times, he thought that Chinese women were actually very knowledgeable and sentimental. But later on, Cheng
It took the hypocrites of Zhu Neo-Confucianism to suppress Chinese women for hundreds of years. However, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was actually quite open.
"You must be the daughter of a noble family!" Duan Ye said decisively, "A commoner woman has no chance or possibility to come to this bitter cold place and serve the country. Besides, your demeanor and style are beyond compare to those who have never seen the world.
It cannot be imitated. Therefore, you are not only from the worldly clan, but you are also probably one of the top ones."
Xue Lingzi picked up the tea cup and put it down immediately. After all, she always wore a veil and did not drink water when meeting foreign guests. This was actually a habitual action.
However, Duan Ye knew that his guess was almost accurate. After thinking about it again, he had some opinions in his mind.
"She behaves gracefully and has an extraordinary bearing. She has a grand structure without giving in to men. She is also in charge of the elite of the Beifu. Based on this, the girl is probably the daughter-in-law of the Xie family in Chenjun, right?" Duan Ye said carefully.
Xue Lingzi raised his eyelids, looked at Duan Ye with some confusion, and then nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed a daughter of the Xie family. Mr. Dongshan is my father. This little girl's name only has the word "ling". Brother Duan, please forgive me.
The woman hid it before."
Duan Ye was shocked. Although he had already expected that she must be a woman from a big family, and according to various possibilities, she was most likely to be the daughter of the Xie family, but the daughter of Xie An, the current ruler, came directly, and she was directly from the orthodox family, which still made Duan Ye a little bit agitated.
stunned.
The distant ancestors of the Xie family in Chen County can be traced back to Xie Zuan, a general of Diannong Zhonglang in the Cao Wei Dynasty, and his son Xie Heng, who came from Yangxia in Chen County. They became the last descendants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty after the Wang family in Langya, the Xi family in Gaoping, the Yu family in Yingchuan and the Huan family in Qiaojun.
A "regent clan". Now he is the undisputed leader of the clan in Jiangnan, and together with the Wang family of Langya, he is called "Wang Xie".
Duan Ye knows the weight of that poem, "In the old days, the king Xietang Qianyan", it has not yet reached the old days, the Xie family's children are at the peak of their power, Xie An is in the center, Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan are in charge of the front line.
Duan Ye also knew that the Beifu Army with the Xie family as its core would accomplish extraordinary feats this time, and that the Xie family would be the most brilliant family in China in the next few years.
Xue Lingzi, ah, no, from now on, he should be called Xie Ling.
Seeing Duan Ye's complex expression, Xie Ling said melancholy: "What's wrong? Brother Duan? Are you alienated from me because of my identity?"
"Where is it?" Duan Ye came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Even if there are differences in status and ability between people, they are equal in principle. No matter you are a princess or a beggar, Duan Ye recognizes you as a person, and
If it’s not your status, how can I be alienated from you?”
“Ah!”
Duan Ye just smiled but did not answer. In later generations, even primary school students knew this concept of equality, but in this era, it was so shocking.
Of course, equality is just an idea and a pursuit, but not a result. How can true equality be achieved?
Duan Ye has always adhered to his ideals, but he must also face reality.
For example, the current reality is that the woman in front of him really has extraordinary energy. Duan Ye now hopes to have a good relationship with her and use her strength and connections to develop himself to the maximum extent. As a person with great ambitions,
Duan Ye does not hesitate to use any means at his disposal.
Therefore, Duan Ye "brazenly" said something even more explosive, "Miss Xie, uh, since you even told me your name, why don't you just do it to the end."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Xie Ling was a little surprised.
"Hmm... Since we are being honest, knowing the name is not enough. Well, Mr. Duan has always shown his true face to others. Why don't Miss Xie let Duan Ye see his face? In this way, you and I will know the ins and outs, and our understanding will be deeper.
