Looking back

"Fortunately, the big man is old, and he only loves the two empresses of Hulan and Yesui, and he will not have time to visit me. Fortunately, I will not have children. I would rather my children have no chance of being born than to be born in the The emperor's family, like me, will not be free for the rest of my life."

As the cars and horses rattled, Wanyan Duan's words still echoed in his ears, Huazheng suddenly said, "Did you originally want to save her?" Then he lowered his head and said, "I like her so much, such a gentle and beautiful girl would It's hard to accept being my stepmother."

Yang Kang said slowly, "In this era, women are miserable. If you are in a poor family and sell yourself as a singing girl and become a concubine, you can't control your life and death. How many people with excellent destiny will be able to live well and die well?"

Hua Zheng said stubbornly, "If you want to, it's not too difficult." Yang Kang shook his head, "You heard what she said."

Wan Yanduan asked for his order to come here, he had already made a decision, so there is no room for him to make trouble again.When Jin Guo was still alive, her father was betrayed and killed by the general Hu Shahu as an emperor, so there was no relatives to rely on.A person's ups and downs in his life are just branches drifting in the flood. They may take root wherever they go, and they may be crushed wherever they hit.

Huazheng retorted, "She also said that if she becomes a princess, she will accept the fate of her marriage. Do you also listen to that?"

"Whether you listen to it or not is the truth. Except for the exception of your plot, which of your sisters and those younger sisters who are concubine are not married?"

Huazheng began to count with her fingers, "My elder sister married early and was still in Mongolia. The second elder sister ruled Oirat in Siberia. The third elder sister controlled the Wanggu tribe, the main road from east to west. The fourth elder sister married a Uyghur. After helping to defeat the Khitan people in Xiliao who ruled them, Sister Altan is the lord of the desert and oasis. Otherwise, where did these wines come from? Wherever the daughter of the Khan marries, she will rule the land. You say they are like this, is fortune-telling good or bad?"

"If you only want to be safe and successful, if you have power and wealth, of course you have a very good life. But if you want to live as a loving couple, it is difficult. Didn't you see that your brother-in-law is serving as the personal guard of Genghis Khan? Even Guo Jing, a reserve soldier up."

Huazheng tilted his head, and smiled when he thought of Guo Jing, "He is also in the personal guards this time. He has to wait until he has made meritorious service before he can really lead the troops? By the way, I always thought it was unreasonable for Guo Jing to be a son-in-law, but now I understand it a little bit. "

Yang Kang naturally understood: Song Ting in the south.

Genghis Khan has always claimed that he treats loyal allies well. As the overlord who can unify most of Eurasia, he is by no means a barbarian who only knows how to fight.He formulated a very clear strategy: allies will be treated well, and all language and cultural traditions will be preserved, such as the Wanggu tribe and Oirat; those who are stubborn or provocative will be attacked until the regime is destroyed, such as the Jurchen and Khwarazm of the Jin Dynasty; And there are capricious ones, which are completely wiped out until there is no tile left, such as Dangxiang Xixia that has completely dissipated in the historical wind and sand.

Under the policy of iron blood and generosity, the aborigines in many places chose to form alliances with Mongolia in order to overthrow the lords, such as the Wanggu tribe who rejected the rule of the Jin Dynasty, and the Uighur tribe who rejected the rule of the Khitans in Western Liao Dynasty.For these loyal allies, Genghis Khan did not directly send Mongolian officials to rule, but used indirect means to control, that is, marriage.

Judging from the current situation, the second daughter uses forests and lakes in Siberia as a treasure house of resources in the rear, and the country of the third daughter is the gateway to the Central Plains Xixia. After crossing the Gobi, the exhausted troops need such a safe place to replenish and rest. Daughter continued west, setting up a fortified outpost in a desert oasis.

The daughters of Genghis Khan are of noble status, and under the upbringing of Mrs. Ekholun and Empress Borte, they are all queens who can act independently. Why are they so free and free when it comes to the marriage of their youngest daughters? Guo Jing, a poor kid from a different race?

Yang Kang originally thought it was a bug in the original book.

However, if you think about it carefully, Genghis Khan already had many Han generals working for him, especially after the defeat of the Jin Kingdom and the relocation of the capital, many Han survivors who were originally in the Jin Kingdom joined his camp.Naturally, the Mongols would not form an alliance with the Jin Dynasty, which had issued orders to them. One day, all the humiliation must be returned, and the Song Dynasty is now their ally against the Jin Dynasty.

Such an ally, if it proves that it does not need to be eliminated and cannot be conquered as a son's fiefdom, will it also become a son-in-law country like Goryeo?As for Guo Jing's family, his father was a prisoner who was beheaded by the court for public display, and his mother was hunted down by officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty and was taken in after fleeing to Mongolia. According to common sense, they were all rebels of the court.

It's a pity that Genghis Khan was still wrong about Guo Jing's choice.He has seen too many unsuccessful minorities in the tribe, asking him for help and alliances, so he speculates about the Southern Song Dynasty in the same way.He must have heard the story of Lord Yue being recalled to death by the twelve gold medals, but he just ignored the meaning. For many loyal ministers, dying at the hands of the treacherous and treacherous ministers is a kind of honor.

It's no wonder that most foreigners find it difficult to understand the Confucian culture of loyalty without long-term exposure.Even if the emperor is licentious and immoral, he is still a son of heaven, and no one will rebel unless he is oppressed to the point of desperation. Even if Guo Jing's mother and son were kidnapped by the court's minions and exiled outside the Great Wall, and her husband's head was hung on a flagpole in the downtown area for public display, they always believed that the one who harmed him was the Some traitors who are unscrupulous will not feel any resentment towards the court.

Yang Kang muttered to himself, "So it wasn't a bug caused by the plot of the novel."

Huazheng asked back, "Do you understand?" She sighed in a low voice with an undisguised trill, "I only now understand that outside the scope of influence of novels, all history is still history. I only now know that my I was all wrong, why did I believe that this is martial arts, why did I believe that I must be world-class in martial arts, why did I have to keep an eye on the development of the plot?"

"I should have known that this world is far richer than four paper books! The direction of this story is only up to me! Whether it is palace fighting or martial arts, whether it is fighting for hegemony or romance, it is all up to me. !"

She lowered her head and looked at her hands. There were thin calluses on the palms of her hands, and the skin on the back of her hands was pale. Because her body had been weak for too long, there were faint blue blood vessels.She continued, "In the end, I took the wrong path. I only looked at the familiar one, which allowed me to take advantage of opportunities and feel at ease. Unfortunately, this is a dead end."

Yang Kang patted her on the back lightly, "Okay, don't think about it."

Huazheng gritted his teeth and laughed loudly, "How could you not want to, do you understand what I have missed?"

Yang Kang said softly, "I understand. You missed the establishment of the largest empire in human history, missed the possibility of gaining a place amidst the vicissitudes of life, and missed the opportunity to put various changes in human society into practice.

You could have been like your older sisters, with a husband who has been at war all the year round and a territory that is completely ruled by you. Your family will not interfere with your management, and the corrupt forces that oppose you will not stand in front of your family's power. Struggling again.

You can reform all the systems, you can give women freedom and equal status, you can also build sea ships, start great voyages, you can encourage scientific and technological research and bypass the detours in the history of science and technology.

You can have a great opportunity that no traveler can compare to, to change everything and build a desired society, supported by a powerful force that will only be shaken in 100 years.And a hundred years later, even if the situation changes, the seeds sown have already taken root and germinated. Once some things take root, they will never linger again. "

He has never said so many words before, Huazheng looked at him silently with wide eyes, as if a little surprised, but also as expected, Yang Kang sighed, "What I saw along the way is what you saw along the way. I What you think of all the way is what you think of all the way.”

Huazheng stared into his eyes, "What I missed is what you missed. Don't you regret it?"

Yang Kang also looked back into her eyes, and said word for word, "I didn't miss you, and I don't regret anything."

Hua Zheng's lips moved, but in the end he turned around and walked slowly to the river bank, "If there is still such a chance, the only regret is that I can't live another 500 years."

The sky is as high as a dome, the cool wind howls, and the river is black.The river outside the Great Wall, no matter how clear it is, will faintly appear black, and there are many rivers called black water rivers.The densely packed tents on the other side of the river are merchants' bazaars, which are very lively, forming a strong contrast with the solemnity of the Great Khan's military camp on the other side.This temporary city was built with soil as the city wall and tents as houses. If the camp was ordered to be set up, it would be a wasteland again.

At this time, someone came to report that the chariots and horses were ready, Huazheng looked away from the river bank, "Let's go, go see your master."

The Great Khan's golden tent is the tallest of all tents, and it is easy to recognize. The Great Khan's personal guards are called the Kexue Army. They patrol around the camp and wear polished iron helmets.Entering the tent, the furnishings are even more magnificent, even the logs supporting the dome are painted brightly, and each log is enough for a person to hug.

The tent opened to the south, and the main seat was sitting on the north side of the door, and the two sat at the last seat.Genghis Khan was over fifty at this time, his beard and hair were slightly grizzled, but his body did not look old.Qiu Chuji sat on the honorable seat on his left, and next to him was an interpreter, who was also quite tall.

Huazheng whispered to him, "That's the Grand Master, Yelu Ahai."

Only then did Yang Kang take a closer look. This Yelu Ahai had heard his name for a long time, but this was the first time he saw it.This man was originally an official of the Kingdom of Jin. When Genghis Khan was still serving as his adoptive father, Wang Han, he was dispatched by the Jin Dynasty to the Wang Han tribe. He did not hesitate to join Temujin, who was still weak, and his wife The sons and daughters were all detained in the Jin Dynasty. It was not until the Jin Dynasty was defeated and asked for peace that Genghis Khan personally asked the envoy why the Jin Dynasty sent the family members out of the pass to reunite when they detained the grand master's family.

This former Khitan royal family, as a survivor of the Liao Kingdom, is also a courtier of the Jin Kingdom, and is a distant brother with Yelu Chucai.Like the old patriarch of the Wanggu tribe, he didn't know how to see through the current situation in the chaos. When Youlong was still in the shallows, he recognized the hero with his giant eyes and made the right bet.

Yelua Haiguan did not only rely on political investment to worship the grand master. He was the number one hero who led the army to break the gold, and he was also proficient in the languages ​​of various countries. Sincerely.

The full audience of kings and ministers listened to Qiu Chuji's eloquent talk about what is the way of heaven, what is the way of nature, and the way of keeping in good health in line with the heaven and earth. He said to everyone, "The Han people respect the gods just like you respect the heavens. I believe that the master is really a heaven and a man, and the gods descended from the sky say this for me. You all remember your hearts."

Everyone in the audience toasted to each other, Genghis Khan said with a smile, "Drinking must be controlled, no more than three times a month, this has been the case for many years, not a real person who is abrupt." Respect each other with tea instead of wine.

There were not too many etiquette restrictions in the banquet, Qiu Chuji had already seen Yang Kang in the seat, and motioned him to speak, at this moment, Empress Bortie also sent a maid to invite Hua Zheng to Qiu Chuji's seat.

The two went to Qiu Chuji's seat together, and Yang Kang stepped forward to salute, "Master." But Qiu Chuji saw his long-lost apprentice, the ecstasy since the feast was finally broken, and he stared, "" You kid really knows how to run, and I will settle accounts with you later."

Empress Bortie called an interpreter, saw that the Wanggu people who looked like Arahai were dressed, and ordered him to translate, "Please don't hesitate to make a diagnosis for the little girl." Qiu Chuji naturally agreed, and in the Before Bortie opened his mouth, he had already looked at Huazheng with a slightly puzzled expression.

That day when he challenged Mei Chaofeng at the Zhongdu Wangfu, he was in Ming Huazheng in the dark. Later, when he was preparing to fulfill the 18-year contract with the Jiangnan Six Monsters in Jiaxing, Lin'an, Huazheng was on Peach Blossom Island, so the two never met. meet up.Among the Quanzhen Seven Sons, only Ma Yu knew Hua Zheng when he taught Guo Jing in Mongolia in his early years, and only Wang Chuyi and Hua Zheng met at the inn to discuss the escape of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo .

Qiu Chuji looked at Huazheng's expression, "Your Highness was poisoned, and you suffered internal injuries?"

He still waited for the interpreter to say that Hua Zheng had already replied in Chinese, "What the Taoist priest said is not bad."

Qiu Chuji frowned, "I heard Junior Brother Ma said that Guo Jing has a marriage contract with a princess of the Great Khan."

Huazheng smiled and said, "It's right here."

Qiu Chuji was even more puzzled. He seemed to recall that his disciple and the princess came in together, so he cast his eyes on Yang Kang, as if he was asking him what happened?

"Princess went to the Central Plains to learn art from a teacher when she was young, and she has known her apprentice for many years, so there is no need to be suspicious, Master." Qiu Chuji was slightly relieved, "I think Your Highness is a person with a small amount of internal energy. The poison has not been cured yet and he has suffered internal injuries. Your internal energy is yours. As taught by a master, the person who hurt you is also a master, but I don't know who it is?"

Huazheng nodded and said, "No wonder my father Khan called you a fairy, as expected, his words are not bad."

Huazheng avoided talking about the reason for her injury, Yang Kang was also secretly puzzled by it, Qiu Chuji claimed that the first pride was poetry, the second pride was medical skills, the third pride was martial arts, but he didn't know his mastery of gold and stone, How powerful is it?

Qiu Chuji didn't ask any more questions, and replied with the immortal air when he was preaching in front of the Great Khan, "Dare to ask what kind of poison the princess has been poisoned by? Poor people have never dabbled in the art of poison."

"The nameless poison, but the poison and antidote, I have it in my hands."

Qiu Chuji was not in a hurry to check his pulse, "Dare to ask Your Highness, do you understand your own situation?"

Huazheng also answered calmly, "I knew it when I was injured a year ago, and now it's over half the time."

"The golden knife son-in-law is going to go out with the army, what is the princess' plan for the engagement?"

"The fate of the parents comes first, and the fate comes later. How can I make plans?"

"Life is short, like a mayfly between heaven and earth. It is good for the princess to relax." After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, he said to Empress Bortie, "If you want to diagnose the pulse carefully, you need a clean place. Please turn your back to the left and right, and the poor will take care of the princess. Make a careful diagnosis."

After Qiu Chuji was called a god by the Great Khan himself, the rest of the people naturally respected him very much. Empress Borte didn't have the slightest objection, so she asked someone to lead the way to a small tent besides the big tent, except that Queen Borte accompanied her daughter in the tent Outside, the rest are on guard outside and must not be disturbed.

Seeing Qiu Chuji's toga and sleeves fluttering in the wind, Yang Kang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

In the novel, Qiu Chuji, who hates evil like hatred and has a violent temper, and the Daoist real person who paid homage to Genghis Khan at the age of [-] in history, overlap here without any trace.

Yes, outside the sphere of influence of the novel, all history is still history.

Here lies the gap between novels and history!

Yang Kang nervously thought, if this place is not under the control of the novel, if the Qiu Chuji here is the compassionate old man with amazing medical skills, will he be able to turn around?The patrolling soldiers still walked in order, Yang Kang was separated from the tent, and he didn't know how Qiu Chuji diagnosed Hua Zheng, so he was anxious.The night was getting darker, and there was a curfew in the city, but the torches were lit around the place where the Khan held a banquet, and the lights of the stars were like the stars and the moon.

After a long time, before Qiu Chuji left the tent, Hua Zheng stood beside her mother, holding her arm tightly.

Several people walked back to the banquet slowly, and they were not blamed for leaving the banquet. Yang Kang was still sitting beside Huazheng, only to see her with a gloomy expression, gently shaking the wine in the glass, and the purple-red liquid swirled out crystal clear. of gloss.

No matter what Qiu Chuji said, the result must not be very good.

This is also expected, Yang Kang didn't ask questions, but just took Hua Zheng to tell the gossip of the people present. On the way back after the banquet, Hua Zheng suddenly said, "I regret practicing martial arts."

Knowing that she had something to say, Yang Kang asked along the way, "Why do you say that?"

Huazheng looked up at the sky, in the vast night sky, the moonlight disappeared, only the river of stars flowed. "I suddenly remembered what happened in the ancient tomb. At that time, I followed my master and practiced martial arts all the time except eating and sleeping. Hey, you have to practice moves when you have nothing to do during the day, how can you have time to do other things? After all, geniuses are a minority. After practicing martial arts, whether it is reading or writing, whether it is an official or business There’s no time left.”

Yang Kang patted her head, "Silly girl, you can do whatever you want, don't be afraid if you don't have martial arts, if I'm here, no one will bully you."

Huazheng pursed her lips and laughed, "Could it be that you want to make me the number one in the world?" Then the smile faded away slowly, she held Yang Kang's hand, looked at the sky and said softly, "I say I regret it, but I don't really care about it." No. After all, it was the happiest day when I jumped over the wall and jumped over the roof to escape with you."

The author has something to say: I’m so sleepy, I’ve been writing for a day

If there is a typo, come back tomorrow to catch bugs

I really want to revise the text, revise the text, I want to speed up the pace a bit, but there is nothing wrong with it, but the revision of Chapter V can only be more or less, and the resentment bites the handkerchief
