Better to live forever [Rebirth]

In September of the 27th year of the epicenter, the border war that had been fought for nearly a year ended. At the end of the month, envoys from the Huns, Qiang, Panyue, and Shan countries arrived in Luojing one after another.

The reason for this is naturally to negotiate peace after the war.

The one sent by the Xiongnu was a royal relative who supported Jierling, King of the Xiongnu, and all of them were princes from the Panyue Shan Kingdom.However, the Qiang people lost too much blood of the royal family not long ago, so this time it was an unknown younger brother who was not very close to the king of the Qiang people.The attitude of the Qiang people is obvious. Although they are facing internal troubles now, as long as the king of the Qiang people does not die for a day, then his status in the Qiang people will not be shaken.

There is another thing that makes people laugh and cry, and that is the princess that Pan Yue came with the prince this time.

Said that he came here to make peace with Dajing.

Lou Anning was very disdainful of this, "Thinking about the time when Panyue Shan Kingdom surrendered to me, Dajing, he reaped the benefits and defected. If we hadn't paid attention to affection, they would have wiped out their clan long ago! I didn't expect their shamelessness to be passed down from generation to generation. , and each generation is more shameless than the next generation, and this front foot joined the Qiang people to attack our southwestern border of Dajing, and now they are defeated, and they have the nerve to propose a marriage. Does he really think their princess is beautiful and fragrant?"

Qin Xi replied, "I heard that he looks very good-looking."

Lou Anning chuckled, "Which eye of yours dares to talk nonsense when you see it. I took a look at it from a distance, tsk tsk, tell me, she wears so little clothes, and her stomach, hands and feet are exposed, which is indecent. He just hides his face to prevent people from prying eyes. It’s really so important to set up a memorial archway.”

"Nonsense." Lou Ankang cut off his words, "The visitor is a guest, not to mention a princess of a country, how can you slander at will. I always tell you to shut up, you always don't know what to do, if someday The real disaster comes out, let me see who can save you!"

Lou Ankang has grown from a novel to a novel, but it is a pity that it has little effect.

Lou Anning put on a smiling face and honestly shut up, but her eyes were still rolling around, obviously unrepentant.

Zhu Dingbei said with a smile: "Lou Er, you have to listen carefully to your elder brother's words. You are an imperial court official serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you want to be listened to by others, you will be guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law."

Lou Anning hurriedly begged for mercy.

Qin Xi saw that he was looking like a coward, and watched the excitement for a while before changing the subject, "I heard that the Qiang envoys don't give face to anyone when they arrive in Dajing, and they stay behind closed doors all day long. All of their guards have their nostrils turned upside down. It's just a prince who is not valued, he has a lot of airs, and I don't know why he is so powerful."

Lou Ankang was full of curiosity: "I heard that none of the six sons of the Qiang king had given birth to a grandson. Now that five of them have died, only one seedling is left, and their martial arts are not very good. The next Qiang king will really be able to take turns Come to him?"

"Compared to the Xiongnu, the Qiang people have a more important point besides worshiping the supremacy of force. That is the royal blood."

Jia Jiaming has read many books, and Chen Gel also left letters about his travels to the Qiang people, so he has a deeper understanding of this fierce nation.Seeing that Qin Xi and the others were dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the Qiang people after losing a battle, he explained: "In the Qiang people, closeness of blood is the criterion for intermarriage of the royal family. This Qiang king is the purest blood in their eyes, because his His parents are... the previous Qiang king and his own sister. Presumably his son is also of high blood in the eyes of the Qiang people."

Qin Xi and the Lou brothers gasped when they heard this!

A blind date? !

They have never heard of it. Only the most barbaric and uncivilized places can be so shameless. The Qiang people have been around for many years, how can they still retain this absurd form of marriage?

"The biggest difference between the Qiang people and the Xiongnu is that they oppose the death of their father and stepmother, and the death of their brothers and sisters-in-law. Unless their mothers and sister-in-laws are close to them by blood, these daughters-in-law are regarded as sinners with dirty blood. It can also be said that Among the Qiang people, women have the lowest status."

When Jia Jiaming first saw the records in the book, he was shocked and surprised.

Lou Aning said: "Our Dajing prohibits intermarriage among close relatives within the three tribes such as father, daughter, brothers and sisters in the law. Why is the Qiang tribe so different from us?"

Jia Jiaming shook his head, "I've thought about this too."

Just haven't gotten an answer yet.

Dajing people pay attention to reasoning, and the criminal law prevails in the matter of close relatives. Once a mistake is made, it is not a moral loss but a major crime of breaking the law.There is always a reason for such a tough attitude, and he doesn't understand why the Qiang people and Dajing completely go against each other.

It was Ning Heng who saw that Zhu Dingbei was equally interested but also confused, so he said: "Inbreeding and intermarriage, the closer the kinship, the more likely it is to give birth to deformed or stupid children."

"Really?" Zhu Dingbei said in surprise, "How come the Qiang royal family has never heard of a fool?"

"This is the top secret of the Qiang royal family." Ning Heng easily explained the cause and effect of this matter, "Because the closer the relatives are, the children they give birth to are either inferior or extremely intelligent. As long as the daughters of the Qiang royal family are in good health, they will die." They were brought up and became tools for the royal family to bear children. As long as they have the ability to reproduce, they will not stop pregnancy. And males, if they are not mentally and physically complete, will be disposed of before the age of five."

How to deal with it is self-evident.

After hearing this, several people were stunned.

The most savage beast would not have such a crazy way!Aren't they afraid of being punished by heaven for violating the harmony of heaven?

Zhu Dingbei said: "It's no wonder that the Qiang people are the most mysterious among the big countries. If they didn't cover up this secret well, how could they still gain a foothold?" Wei Daofu had already used this reason to strangle them when they were still immature. Where is it allowed for them to develop and grow to where they are today.

Qin Xi swallowed his saliva, and said: "This is really...the boy they left behind is very smart? Doesn't it mean that the entire Qiang people are smart people?"

Ning Heng: "In the Qiang nationality, the royal blood is the supreme existence, and the lowly blood is not allowed to be muddy. Intermarriage is also limited to the royal family. They are also afraid that there will be a second royal family that follows their example, so they don't advocate it. "

Lou Ankang sighed, "According to what Ah Heng said, they have no other choice. If the whole people were like this, how many people would die in newborns every year, and the population of the Qiang people would probably be exhausted."

Lou Anning kept frowning, unable to accept this fact.

"I heard His Royal Highness Lin said that the Qiang envoy was born very attractive, but I didn't expect it to be..." It was such a dirty product.

This time, the second son of the emperor, His Royal Highness King Lin, was in charge of receiving the Yihe envoys.The second prince who was named the Prince of Five Pearls prefers the military. Although he has never joined the army, he has a great interest in military weapons and the art of war.

Ning Heng nodded, "Most of those left behind are not only smart but also good-looking."

These are all the letters left by the Empress Dowager Zhao in ancient times, because they involved the appalling secrets of the Qiang royal family, so they were shelved long ago and only the head of the family could read them, even Zhu Dingbei had never read them.

Jia Jiaming exhaled, "I see."

He lowered his eyes to cover up the pain in his eyes, and at that moment he thought of the adultery between his adoptive sister and his father.If the adoptive sister hadn't "died", she would be her father's daughter in the household registration of the government office, and it was because Dajing never allowed intermarriage to have children.

He still doesn't understand why his father has such a crazy affection for his adoptive sister, even disregarding this stain can destroy half of his life's achievements overnight!

But none of that... doesn't matter anymore.

No matter how annoyed he was, in the fire in Liangyue Nunnery where no one survived, everything was burned away, such as the phrase "just come back" that he had not had time to say to his adoptive sister in the future.

"eleven?"

Qin Xi pushed Jia Jiaming's shoulder, and seeing him come back to his senses, he said worriedly, "You've been restless lately, is it because of reading? I told you a long time ago not to work so hard, your eyes will burn out. "

Lou Ankang also said: "Your body is important. Besides, even Mr. Ke has praised your talent in public, but you are the only one. You should relax properly and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The last time Jia Jiaming went to Mr. Ke's residence for a banquet, the biggest achievement was getting Mr. Ke's favor.

Although the two have no status as mentors and apprentices, Mr. Ke and Mr. Chen Ge have a deep friendship and take good care of the disciples of the old man. Secondly, Jia Jiaming is talented and determined at a young age, and he also had a pleasant conversation with him, so The two of them maintained correspondence after that, and Mr. Ke also praised him many times in front of people, which made him show his face in front of people for the first time after Sanyuan Chunwei.

Jia Jiaming smiled and didn't say much.

Zhu Dingbei knew that he had a heart disease. He held a heart medicine in his hand, but he couldn't treat him.After seeing off a few people, Zhu Dingbei said to Ning Heng: "The eleventh matter can't be delayed any longer."

When the Xiongnu envoys came to Beijing, it was absolutely impossible not to contact Jia Yan and other hidden stakes and their collaborators in private.Both Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng are hunters hiding their whereabouts, and they are just waiting for them to reveal their whereabouts.Once Jia Yan made a move, they couldn't guarantee that Jia Jiaming would not be involved, so they could only close the net as soon as possible to let Jia Jiaming get out of this vortex.

Ning Heng responded.

Even if they didn't intervene, it would be difficult for the emperor to deal with it.After finding Liangyue Temple, the royal guards have never given up on tracking the survivors of Liangyue Temple and the noble ladies who often visit Liangyue Temple and their families. Several of them have been confirmed to be Jia Yan's eyes and ears. Going deeper, there is no guarantee that Jia Yan's identity will not be revealed.

Zhu Dingbei got up and stretched his muscles, the weather in Luojing was getting colder day by day, and it won't be long before the road back to the north would be buried by wind and snow.And the matter of peace negotiation is still pending, his father has to guard the border of Ningzhou, if the time is not right, it will be difficult for Lu Lu, who returns to Xianbei Mansion, to leave.And so is his grandfather.

"I hope this peace negotiation can go smoothly."

Zhu Dingbei sincerely hopes.
