Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Donating a daughter is not a seed for disaster

A few days later, Agula gave the spike necklace made by himself to Bayin, who put it on on the spot and took out the delicate horns he had prepared earlier: "Anda, this is the horn I made with my own hands. number, and our two names are engraved on it, you should always wear it by your side!"

Agula took the horn and kicked it into his arms: "Okay, I will."

Two young boys sat on the ground, looking at the flock of sheep grazing leisurely in the distance.When he was tired, he simply lay back, with the fragrance of green grass lingering in his breath, and looked at the blue sky and clouds of various shapes.You said some imaginative words one by one, and shared the "little secret" that can only be had between Anda.

Bayin: "Anda, yesterday I woke up to pee at night and heard Eji (mother) crying."

Agula turned sideways: "What's wrong? Are you sick?"

A trace of bewilderment flashed in Bayin's eyes, and he tilted his head and said, "I opened the tent secretly and saw my father pressing on Erji's body, both of them were naked and moving around. Say, what are they doing?"

Agula also became dazed, thought for a while and finally shook his head: "Didn't you ask?"

Bayin shook his head like a rattle: "I dare not, my father is fierce, hit me!"

Agula thought for a while, and replied: "If you want to know, I'll go back and ask my mother for you." Furong's gentleness and gentleness are well known in the grassland.

"it is good."

Bayin grabbed a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and asked again: "Do you want a brother or sister this time?"

Agula replied without thinking: "Brother."

"Yes, you already have Nuo Min."

"My mother has always wanted to give me a younger brother..." Agula felt a slip of the tongue and stopped talking, but fortunately, Bayin didn't feel anything wrong.

"Anda."

"Ok?"

"When will we beat Halbala and the others?"

Agula looked at the clouds drifting slowly in the sky, with a calm expression: "Maybe in a few years."

……

On the other side of the moat, Nangong let himself be enthroned to purge officials on the merits internally, implement benevolent governance externally and follow public opinion.The country that was devastated by the previous tyrant has been restored after three years of cultivation.And with the assistance of General Lu Quan, the imperial court quickly quelled the peasant riots and uprisings in the previous dynasty.

Not only that, for the large-scale armed cottages, Nangong Rang adopted a policy of Huairou Zhao'an.Using a piece of guilt to appease the emotions of many rebels.Many wars were avoided, and the court's expenses were saved to the greatest extent.

In order to let the people understand that he is a benevolent emperor, Nan Gongrang personally planned to abolish the court expenses, and even his own daily imperial meal was only four dishes and one soup.

As soon as the news came out, the people were all grateful, and there was no objection.

After the current situation stabilized, Nangong Rang learned his lesson and made reforms to the imperial court.The left and right prime ministers were abolished to set up three provinces, and six ministries were established under the six ministries, and 24 divisions with a clear division of labor were established under the six ministries. In addition, Jiuqing Temple was established to take care of some trivial matters.

So far, the Wei State no longer established the post of Marshal of the Army and Horses, and divided the military symbols into two, the emperor and the Taiwei each held half.

On Nangong Rang's 39th birthday.A wanderer named Yu Ziqi sent a map called "Kyushu Huanyu", and Nangong let him know that the territory on the other side of the moat is so vast!

He personally hosted a banquet for Yu Ziqi, and stayed in the capital for a few days to listen to Yu Ziqi's travel experiences over the years. Of course, he mostly asked about things in the north of Tianzhu.

When Nan Gongrang heard that there were herds of cattle and sheep in the north, and countless war horses, this ambitious emperor had a different idea: he has hundreds of officials to support and the love of the people, and he will definitely become the founding sage in the annals of history. Only sitting on half of the country.

……

Every year when the water and grass are fertile, a seven-day grand ceremony will be held on the grassland in July and August.They slaughtered cattle and sheep, sang and danced to thank the gods for their blessings.At that time, all the tribes in the grassland will gather together, and even the tribes that are fighting will stop fighting temporarily.This has been a convention for thousands of years.

The Grand Ceremony is the favorite festival of the children on the grassland. Under the leadership of Suhebalu, the Plow Department has become the new overlord on the grassland, so this time the conference is hosted by the Plow Department.

All the tribes brought rich gifts, even the Tuba tribe who were expelled to the Luoshui River also came.

At night, in the open space in front of the king's tent at the foot of Momo Mountain, a huge bonfire was lit.The air was filled with the strong smell of barbecue, the prairie warriors chatted happily, and the women put on the most beautiful clothes, singing and dancing around the bonfire arm in arm.

Sukhbaru and his wife sat in the same case. Furong was five months pregnant. Sukhbaru specially ordered someone to spread precious tiger skins under the seat of Furong.

Halfway through the banquet, many warriors in the venue were drunk and fell to the ground.Even Sukhbaru, who has a good capacity for alcohol, is also lightly drunk.Tired of playing, Agula takes his younger sister Xiaodie back to her parents, and Fu Rong is cutting meat for the two children.

"King Sukhbaru Khan." Hearing the voice, the family of four raised their heads together, and saw a strong man with gray beard and hair leading a seven or eight-year-old girl to their table.

Suhebalu waved his hand, and the guard spread a piece of animal skin beside the case: "So it's Uncle Erihe, sit down." The person who came was Nagus Erihe, Khan of the Tuba tribe.

Agula and Xiaodie's attention was attracted by the little girl who was traveling with her. The girl was wearing a small jacket made of precious fox fur, and she was looking at them curiously with her big watery eyes and long eyelashes. .

"This is my youngest daughter, Jiya, who is eight years old this year."

Ji Ya called obediently: "King Khan, Ke Dun."

Suhe Baru nodded, and poured a bowl of kumiss for Er Rihe himself: "Please."

The two drank the wine bowl, and Suhebaru motioned to the warriors behind him to cut the meat for Erihe. The latter pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I'm here to discuss something with King Khan."

"Oh? Uncle, please tell me."

Agula noticed that Jiya had been looking at herself intently, with a hint of exploration in her eyes and some things she couldn't understand.

E Rihe said: "I heard that you have a son who was bestowed by the gods to tame fierce horses, and he is also very good at riding and shooting?"

Suhebaru laughed loudly, and embraced Agula: "This is my son, Agula."

"Agula has met Eri and King Khan." Agula and Xiaodie's etiquette was taught by their mother personally. Although Furong has never read any books, the Wei people are born with a little more humility and gentleness than the grassland people.

It's a pity that being polite didn't bring good impressions. E Rihe looked at Agula with complicated emotions: this legendary child prodigy in the grassland was different from what he had imagined.I thought that Agula would inherit Suhebaru's excellent bloodline, but he didn't expect to be like his humble southern mother.The body is weak and thin, except for the pair of amber eyes, there is nothing like Sukhbaru.On the other hand, the little girl next to her was more like a prairie person, but unfortunately she had a pair of black eyes of a southerner.

E Rihe sighed in his heart: the Tuba tribe was driven to the edge, and Tianhe was flooded year after year, and the livestock couldn't eat enough.In recent years, Tuba's old background has almost been hollowed out. Although he is married to Wei Kebu, the other party is afraid of Suhebalu and refuses to help!

"Jiya was born when I was 49 years old, and she is the jewel in my forehead and heart. This time I plan to leave Jiya in the Ministry of Plowing and entrust it to King Sukhbaru Khan."

As soon as this remark came out, Xiaodie was the happiest, because there is no girl of her age in the support department.

A bad premonition flashed in Fu Rong's heart, and she secretly held her husband's hand.Sukhbaru shook his wife back to reassure her, and asked, "Since he is a dear uncle, it is better to keep him by your side, why do you stay with me?"

E Rihe swallowed back the sigh that came to his lips forcefully, and said with a forced smile: "Speaking of which, you and I should have married..." Seeing Furong's slightly changed face, the topic changed, "Agula and Jiya At the same age, I will put Ji Ya in your place for a few years. I will marry her when Agula is 13 years old! I also brought a thousand fat sheep, five hundred strong cattle, and a hundred horses this time. A good horse and a hundred complete animal skins are Jiya’s dowry, I just hope you can give me a few pieces of fat pastures for me to migrate with my people.”

Erihe pressed his knees tightly with his hands, the furrows on his face were tense.He felt his dignity bleeding.Think about how majestic Tuba was in the past?However, after more than ten years, it has been reduced to the point of offering a daughter to beg for peace!

With a bang, the knife in Furong's hand fell on the table.Xiaodie on the side smiled brightly, while Agula tilted his head and fell into thinking: I am also a woman, can I marry another woman?But she didn't dare to ask random questions.Last time she helped Bayin ask his mother, in exchange for a good meal!Butt swollen for two days!

Sukhbaru shook his wife's hand tightly and tightly.Feeling the burning warmth of her husband's palm, Furong was slightly relieved.

"Uncle, what do you mean? I'll call you uncle, and Jiya is my sister. Speaking of which, Jiya's sister is a generation taller than Agula."

Grassland people do not pay attention to the seniority of non-blood relatives. It happens from time to time that the elder brother who died in battle married his sister-in-law;However, E Rihe heard the irony from Suhebalu's words: when Suhebalu refused to marry Erihe and remarried his daughter to Prince Wei Kebu, the other party was also a generation younger than his own daughter. Could it be that the other party Are you mocking yourself for offering your daughter to survive?

E Rihe's face was extremely ugly, and Suhebaru was even more in a dilemma.If Furong was not here, he would have agreed first: on the one hand, King Tubabu Khan personally asked for peace, and if he was rejected, it would be tantamount to a declaration of war; on the other hand, the dowry given by the other party was considered generous.Tuba is not what it used to be, and E Rihe is showing weakness and begging for such a dowry.If Fu Rong is not here, he will definitely agree. In the future, he and Fu Rong will have a son and then marry Ji Ya...

Feeling guilty, Suhebalu took up the full wine bowl and handed it to Erihe, but the other party overturned it. The two guards behind the Khan pulled out their scimitars one after another. Diehu is in his arms.

E Rihe snorted a few times, pointed at Suhebalu's nose and said, "Okay, Suhebaru, Erihe wrote it down."

After speaking, he pulled Jiya away in a hurry.
