Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

The Old History of Beijing Kingdom

Nangong asked with a smile: "Why does my son suddenly want to go to the Hongwen Museum? Father remembers that you are the least fond of reading."

Seeing Jiya, Nangong Jingnv also smiled, her face was embarrassed: "After three days, you should treat each other with admiration. My daughter didn't know the beauty of scrolls before."

"Okay, my son has improved. I will allow you to read any books you like, and take them back to the mansion."

"Thank you father, my son will leave."

"Go."

As soon as Nangong Jingnv left, Nangong Rang showed a little tiredness.

After spending so much time with Jiya, I was a little tired.

After all, he is not young anymore, but looking at Ji Ya's energetic appearance, he was a little unwilling, took the clean cloth in Sijiu's hand and wiped his sweat: "I will definitely win you today."

Jiya smiled sweetly, and took Nangong Rang's hand: "Your Majesty sits in the world, how many times do I have to win to be worthy of you?"

Nangong Rang laughed heartily: Although Yafei's etiquette is a bit poor, she has a clear mind.

"Your Majesty, lean on the couch for a while, and I'll give you a thump."

"it is good."

Ji Ya kneaded Nangong Rang's shoulders, and said softly: "Being famous is worse than seeing each other. This Princess Zhenzhen really lives up to her reputation."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. I have heard the name of Princess Zhenzhen long before I entered the palace. Today, I saw that the princess is not only graceful, but also shows her heroic posture, and her eyebrows are exactly like Your Majesty. Although I didn't say a few words , I want to be friends with her."

Nangong let her eyes show kindness: "Jing Nu grew up under my knees. I seldom use palace rules to restrain her, so her temperament is different from my other daughters. It's rare that you have such insight."

"I heard that there is another princess who is about my age?"

"Oh... are you talking about Shunv?"

Ji Ya let out a light sigh at the right time, and Nan Gong let the slender hand that had grabbed the other party hold it in his hand: "Why are you sighing?"

"The palace that His Majesty gave me is good everywhere, but it's a bit too deserted."

"Didn't I come to accompany you often?"

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and there are always times when you are too busy."

"What do you mean by beauty?"

"I want to ask His Majesty to allow me one thing."

"tell me the story."

"Princess Zhenzhen and I hit it off right away, please allow me to get together with her once in a while."

Nangong Rang frowned, and pondered: "Jing Nu is my only daughter-in-law, and she has already married and established a family. A few days ago, her bedroom was flooded, and she had nowhere to stay when she returned to the palace. Even I couldn't bear to torment her all the time. Entering the palace. How about this, the second princess Shunv has a gentle temper and is about the same age as you. If I don’t have time, you can announce her to accompany you in the palace.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

……

Nangong Jingnv entered the Hongwen Museum and went straight to find the books on palace etiquette.

She didn't expect that there were more than a dozen books on this topic alone, and it took her half an hour to find what she wanted to read.

Since the previous dynasty, the consorts and princesses lived in their own mansions after they got married, and the consorts were not allowed to enter the princesses' mansions unless ordered by imperial edict.

On the first day of each month, the fifteenth day, festivals, the princess's birthday, and the son-in-law can report and pass on the news first, and can only enter the mansion to visit after getting the princess's permission.

When the princess invites a consort, she first hangs a red light outside her bedroom. Aunt Si Li sees the red light and tells her family to pass the consort into the mansion for the night. She also records the number of times the princess mansion lights up and submits it to the Inner Court Secretary regularly.

……

Nangong Jingnv frowned, and continued to look down, the next paragraph made her blush.

On the eve of the wedding night between the son-in-law and the princess, the court secretary appoints a virgin maidservant who is good-looking, healthy and of an appropriate age to make peace with the son-in-law first, which is called a trial marriage maid.

The next day, the trial marriage maid reported the concubine's performance at night to the Secretary of the Inner Court, and married the concubine as a concubine...

If the princess has nothing to do, the concubine needs to drink Bizisan after going to bed, and if she becomes pregnant by accident, she needs to drink safflower to abort.

If the concubine's pregnancy is concealed and not reported, the mother and child will be waterboarded together;

After the princess gives birth to a son, the concubine's room can stop using Bizi San...

If the princess is over [-] years old and has nothing to marry, the son-in-law can get the princess's consent to conceive the concubine's room. If not, the above-mentioned palace regulations will still be followed.

Or you can leave the mother and keep the child...

At the end of this text, there is a line of small vermilion characters: In the second year of Tianhe, the emperor changed the old system and abolished Aunt Sili and the post of trial marriage maid.

"The second year of Tianhe? Isn't this the year Bengong was born?"

Nangongrang's reign name was "Tianhe" when he ascended the throne. After the pacification of the grassland, he went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen under the advice of his officials, and changed his reign name to "Jingjia".

Nangong Jingnv put down the dossier, a little disappointed: So there really is such a palace rule, and I won't be able to see him all the time in the future...

Thanks to the emperor's abolition of Aunt Si Li and the trial marriage maid, otherwise, after Qi Yan established the mansion, wouldn't he have to spend time with his concubines all the time?

Nangong Jingnv leaned on the desk with her mouth pouting, feeling secretly aggrieved.

Why is it so troublesome for royal brothers to be accompanied by their lovely wives and beautiful family members, but it is so troublesome to change into a princess.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of an unremarkable bookshelf in the corner, and the wooden sign hanging on it was still very new.

Take a closer look: the words "History of Beijing" come into view.

The bookshelves next to it are full of books and bamboo slips, but this one alone is the most special: it is full of tortoise shells and bones, and there is only one book.

Out of curiosity, Nangong Jingnv took out the thin book called "Beijing".

This book was written in the second year of Jingjia, and most of the content was dictated by E Rihe, the former governor of Kyushu, and recorded by historians.

The completely different systems and customs of Beijing State aroused Nangong Jingnv's interest, and she was fascinated.

Because of E Rihe's resentment towards the Lilibu, and Nangongrang's instruction, the historian wrote the first part of the grassland as a tribe of bandits.

Nangong Jingnv couldn't help frowning: "This Suhebalu is really relentless in his work. He took away his pasture and chased him hard..."

The pages of the book were flipped, and it was recorded that E Rihe, who had been forced to do nothing, brought a generous gift and his beloved daughter to the Plow Department to get married at the grand ceremony.

She wanted to marry Nagusijiya, the pearl of the prairie, to Qiyan Agula, who was the same age as her, but was rejected by Sukhbaru, and the two were tantamount to declaring war...

Nangong Jingnv curled her lips: Jiya's family background, where her marriage was rejected, is really not worthy of entering the palace as a concubine.

Turning the pages of the book again, what follows are the narrations of Lu Quan, Ding Yi and other courtiers who participated in the war.

Nangong Jingnv already knew the ending, she wanted to close the page, but she read it in a strange way...

It records how the prairie tigers are vulnerable to a blow, and they gather a large army to fight against the imperial army.

But after a few charges, the mob was defeated and scattered for their lives.

Taiwei Lu Quan sat in the camp and ordered Ding Yi to lead an army of [-]. E Rihe led the way to kill the king's tent of the support plow department.

Qiyan Suhebalu's tribe all abandoned their master and fled for their lives, and there were less than a thousand people left behind in the entire camp.It can be seen that Sukhbaru is unpopular...

Nangong Jingnv frowned. If the leader of the enemy country is as unbearable as the book says, when the imperial court's army arrives, it should be destroyed in an instant.

Why did this battle of one hundred thousand against one thousand go on for a whole day?

With doubts, Nangong Jingnv turned the pages of the book again, but the war scenes that should have been described in detail were briefly mentioned by the historian...

It only writes that Ding Yi led the army into the big tent, cut off the head of the leader of the plow support department, and made the first contribution.

Ke Dun, who supports the plow department, went to Huangquan with his late husband...

One dead and three dead?

Nangong Jingnv stared at these four words, a chill swept over her body.

One dead body and three lives... Since she has not yet given birth, how does the historian know that she is pregnant with twins?

Nangong Jingnv covered her mouth, imagining that someone might have cut open the woman's stomach, she felt horrified.

Whether it's Ding Yi, who made the first contribution, or E Rihe, who has a deep grudge with the support department, it is inhumane to treat a pregnant woman like this!

Since the leader of the enemy country is dead, why should he treat his family like this?

Nangong Jingnu's fingers trembled slightly as she turned the page.

Then E Rihe and the army quickly put down the Weike tribe, and the Weike tribe almost became prisoners without any resistance...

After pacifying the grassland, E Rihe brought the map of Kyushu to the palace to face the saint. He once strongly advocated that the imperial court should continue to send troops to capture the remnants of the royal family of the Support Li tribe.

They are a pair of children of Qiyan Sukhbaru: the eight-year-old prince Qiyan Agula, and the five-year-old princess Qiyan Nuomin.

First, he rejected E Rihe's request with "Huangkou children, nothing to fear", and dispatched craftsmen to Kitakyushu to repair the city.

On the last page of "Beijing", a very new content was added.

It records in detail the process of the "Battle of Qingyi", how Qiyan Agula killed the former Kitakyushu Jiedushi, and how he sent troops to kill innocent people.

The last paragraph reads:

When I heard it, I was heartbroken and sighed: today's disaster is the fault of my kindness in the past, and the barbarians and lowly slaves are hard to teach.

In order to protect the people of Kyushu to live in peace, he ordered the whole country to eliminate the slaves of foreign races.

Anujin, the son of Nagus Erihe, offered his sister to show his loyalty.

In the above, Lian's father had the merit of being the first to tell, and at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in the ninth year of Jingjia, Nagusjiya was conferred the title of Zhaoyi, and the title: Ya.

Nangong Jingnv stared at the half blank of the last page of "Beijing", silent for a long time.

Such a thin book is the heaviest in her life.

Perhaps because of Jiya's relationship, Nangong Jingnv didn't have a good impression of E Rihe.

So there is a feeling of doubt, even resistance.

So not only did I not share the same hatred behind, but I felt very tragic.

Although the killing of 50 innocent people by foreigners was outrageous, but when she saw that Qiyan Agula was hit by several arrows, the blood stained the horse and rushed to kill him, and he took the forehead and head among tens of thousands of people. , deeply shocked.

She really couldn't believe that the father of such a person would be what E Rihe called "a man with two ends of a rat's head and a treacherous man".

Nangong Jingnv stopped her gaze on the five characters "Qiyan Agula" again, raised her finger and gently rubbed the word "Qiyan".

Maybe this surname sounds the same as his first name...

When thinking of Qi Yan, warmth would flow in my heart, and Ai Wuji Wu felt a little pity for the enemy prince.

The corners of Nangong Jingnv's lips curled up involuntarily. I haven't seen him for three days, okay?
