I was a princess in ancient times

As soon as the news that Princess Anwu was about to open the mansion spread, the Ministry of Rituals sent Yu Heng, Xiao Ning and Abu Hanbing the Dragon Boat Festival gift bestowed by Emperor Changping with great fanfare.

Because Abuhan Iceman was in the northern border, the ceremony was sent to the Prince's Mansion of Yuanbei County, which was only an alley away from Princess Huaian's Mansion.

Within half a day, the well-informed courtiers already knew what was included in the three belated ceremonies, and naturally they would not ignore the obvious differences.

It's not surprising that Yanning County Lord got an extra royal concubine's court dress. After all, she will marry King Ling next month, and she just got what she deserved in advance.

It is not surprising that the King of Far North County has a pair of coral bonsai. Northerners rarely see things in the sea. In northern Xinjiang, corals are always more precious than gems of the same color.

The king of Xianglin County got an extra pro-dynasty uniform...

Then, in cooperation with Emperor Changping, he bestowed the house of the former Duke of Qi's mansion next door to the Duke of Anguo's mansion to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince for the work of the Princess Mansion.No matter how hard the courtiers clutched their chests, they couldn't completely resist the panic.

No matter how outrageous the prescription left by the so-called fairy that can reverse yin and yang is, it can't change the fact that the Fifth Highness is male and not female.

Although the courtiers have selfish intentions, those who can stay from Yan Guangnian to Changping Ninth Year can at least be able to distinguish right from wrong and put the general trend of the world first.

Countless examples have proved that the huge difference in talent between King Ling and His Highness the Fifth Highness cannot be made up by his own efforts or the assistance of virtuous ministers.

If King Ling becomes the crown prince, the best result is to rely on the virtuous ministers left by Emperor Changping and become a successful king.

His Highness the Fifth Prince was able to perfectly inherit Emperor Changping's ambition and lead the Yu Dynasty to a further step.

From the recent method of gaining a lot of benefits from the grassland through the mutual market in northern Xinjiang, without using a single soldier to disrupt the situation in the grassland, we can see the intention of His Highness the Fifth Highness.

Even though His Highness the Fifth Highness is not perfect, he is confused about small matters of love, and almost made a big joke, he is still the most suitable heir in the hearts of the courtiers.

Therefore, knowing that Emperor Changping wanted to let go of the matter of Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng, how could the courtiers sit still?

They unanimously went to see Emperor Changping, and asked tactfully when Emperor Changping planned to let the people know that Princess Anwu was not a princess, but a prince.

With just a few words, Emperor Changping easily made them forget their original intentions, and their minds were full of the investigation of the small official family and the remnants of the previous dynasty on the northern grasslands.

At the same time, there are people who are more concerned about the small official family and the remnants of the previous dynasty than the courtiers, and they are the aristocratic families headed by the Qi family of the British government and the Cui family of the Taishi government.

Although since Emperor Changping came to the throne, they have always been in a 'beaten' position.First, it was affected by the Shangzhou case in the second year of Changping, and had to voluntarily give up a lot of business operations, so as not to be involved.Then, under the persecution of the remnants of the previous dynasty, he twice used the method of strong men cutting off their wrists and actively shrinking themselves to avoid disasters.Both the strength on the bright side and the forces in the dark have mostly declined.

But after all, they are a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and they have as many cards as they can imagine.

Even though the courtiers deliberately concealed the news of the interrogation of the family of the minor officials, they still failed to completely guard against the minions of the family. After all, it still gave the family a sense of crisis in advance of the collapse of the building.

The so-called house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, just when the aristocratic family was in dire straits, the remnants of the previous dynasty, which had just subsided for a long time, repeated their tricks again.

Using the aristocratic family's betrayal of the Yu Dynasty as an excuse, they threatened the aristocratic family to obey King Ming's orders.

The royal court of Rouran failed to attack the Great Wall, and the northern Xinjiang market opened again, and several new regulations were announced.

The Yu Dynasty market still refused to have any kind of transaction with anyone from King Ming's tribe.

Anyone who directly or indirectly contributed to the appearance of products in the Yu Dynasty Market in the tribe of King Ming would be blacklisted by the Yu Dynasty Market.The tribe where it belongs needs to pay a fine before it can enter the Great Wall Market again.

Because Rouran royal court took the initiative to provoke the war.

From now on, the Suiwang tribe will have to pay an extra three-point war tax for all commodities purchased in the market.The royal court of Rouran had to pay an extra six cents of the war tax when purchasing all the commodities in the market.

After one year, the war tax will be reduced by one point in the next year until it is the same as the market price.

If there is another war between the two sides during this period, the Great Wall market will re-price.

After the new regulations of the Great Wall Market spread in the grassland, the whole of Rouran became a joke.

The Royal Court of Rouran had just experienced a big defeat, at least it was unable to attack the Yu Dynasty again in a short period of time, so it could only accept the unilateral 'notification' from the Great Wall Market.

The Wangting and Mingwang tribes, which are dominated by the old Rouran people who had been Turkic slaves, and the Suiwang tribe, which are almost all Rouran people who have just moved back to the grassland, were motivated by the coalition forces attacking the Great Wall not long ago. , The losses suffered are uneven, and each other is not pleasing to the eye.

The new regulations of the Great Wall Market not only reminded them of their defeat, but also clearly told Rouran Royal Court and Suiwang Tribe that they were implicated by Mingwang Tribe.At the same time, levels and contempt chains were assigned to Rouran Royal Court and Sui Wang Tribe.

The entire grassland knew that this was Yu Chao's conspiracy.

As long as all the Rouran tribes insist on not having any transactions with the Great Wall Market, there is no need to accept the 'punishment' of the Yu Dynasty like a vassal state.

It's a pity that the Rouran tribe can't do it.

Except for the Great Wall Market, they couldn't find any Yu Dynasty merchants and goods that could be traded.

They need cheap life-saving pills, pottery that can be exchanged for wool, light cloth, fragrant tea... These things can only be exchanged at the Great Wall Market.

The Rouran tribe also tried other methods, buying things from the Great Wall Market from the Mohe and Turkic tribes in the grasslands.

At the beginning, the Mohe tribe made a lot of money, and their laughter was much louder than usual.

The Suiwang Tribe had to pay an extra three cents of the war tax when buying things from the Great Wall Market, so when the Mohe Tribe sold things to the Suiwang Tribe, the price would be one and a half cents more than the Great Wall Market.

In the same way, if the Mohe tribe sells goods to the Wangting tribe, it will charge three more points.

In just the past few days, the Mohe tribe felt that something was wrong.

The Great Wall Market has a limited purchase requirement for all grassland tribes.

Because the goods in the Great Wall Market are generally more expensive, the prairie tribes have not completely put down their guard against the Great Wall Market, and the purchase limit is cleared every quarter.

Before the Mohe tribe was told that they could no longer purchase goods from the Great Wall Market within three months, none of the grassland tribes paid attention to the 'purchase restriction' request.

In the northern grasslands, Rouran Royal Court and Sui Wang Tribe accounted for seven tenths, Ming Wang Tribe accounted for one tenth, Remnant Turkic Tribes accounted for one tenth, and Mohe Tribe accounted for one tenth.

It was only after the Mohe tribe was rejected by the Great Wall Market that they realized that they were so happy to 'make money' a few days ago, and had already sold all the things they could buy from the Great Wall Market for the entire season to the Rouran Royal Court and the Suiwang Tribe.

In other words, for at least three months, they will not be able to enjoy the convenience and happiness that Yu Chao's products can bring them.

The short honeymoon period between Mohe Tribe, Rouran Royal Court and Suiwang Tribe came to an abrupt end.

If it weren't for the great difference in strength between the two sides, and the fact that they were already fragmented, they could only rely on the remnants of the Turkic tribes who were proclaiming the Yu Dynasty and lingering as an example.The Mohe tribe, who was regretting bitterly, almost beat the Turkic royal court for the sold goods.

Even with the generous help of the Mohe tribe, the lives of Rouran Wangting and Suiwang tribe are still difficult.

The so-called transition from frugality to extravagance is easy, but from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

They endured humiliation and fought bloody battles to defeat their centuries-old enemy and reoccupy the grassland. Isn't it just for the enjoyment?

If you can't live in peace and enjoy happiness, all the hardships you have suffered before are meaningless.

Sui Wang already saw that Ming Wang was not pleasing to the eye, and wished he could tear him into pieces and accept the other party's grassland and slaves.He has never hidden this thought, back then when he sniped at King Ming on the Great Wall battlefield, it was an aboveboard attack.

After being implicated by King Ming this time, King Sui became even more murderous, and even secretly calculated whether if the heads of King Ming and his brothers and children were sent to the Yu Dynasty, would it be possible to gain some practical benefits like the remnants of the Turkic tribe who had become ministers of the Yu Dynasty.

Compared with Sui Wang, who never changed his original intention and made no secret of his malice, Rouran Khan often tossed and turned at night with worry, making it difficult to fall asleep.

He sincerely regards King Ming as a benefactor, otherwise he would not have given King Ming a lot of preferential treatment under the pressure of King Sui.However, after experiencing the coalition forces attacking the Great Wall, he had to admit that his heart had quietly turned towards Sui Wang.

Initially, the Great Wall Market only refused to trade with the Mingwang tribe, and did not restrict all Rouran tribes.Moreover, the Great Wall Market's restrictions on King Ming's tribe are not completely unreasonable, and they were targeted without warning.

It was Ming Wang who told him that the Great Wall Market's restriction on Ming Wang's tribe was only the first step, and if Rou Ran didn't respond, he would let it go, and Yu Chao would definitely do more extreme things.He also told him that the Great Wall Market plunders countless wealth from the grassland every day, and sooner or later it will become a weapon for the Yu Dynasty to control the entire grassland without a single soldier...

If it weren't for his trust in King Ming, how could he have tried his best to persuade King Sui to insist on uniting to send troops against the Yu Dynasty.

The results of it?

Sui Wang didn't want to send troops at all, so he just followed at the end to join in the fun.

What made Rouran Khan most unacceptable was that King Ming, who proposed to send troops, also retreated halfway, only willing to flank and harass the Yu Dynasty army.From the beginning to the end, he never saw the dark guard camp that King Ming was proud of.

As a result, there is no doubt that the Wangting tribe who rushed to the front suffered heavy losses, so there is a faint sign that they will not be able to suppress the Suiwang tribe.

Of the generals under Rouran Khan, seven or eight out of ten quietly suggested to him that the chief culprit of this defeat should be 'slaughtered', and the land and slaves of King Ming's tribe should be taken back to make up for the loss of the royal court's defeat.

Although he was disappointed with King Ming because of this incident, it wasn't to the point where he was quick to get rid of it.

However... With Qiang Yu's fear of the 'remnants of the previous dynasty', he might attack King Ming's tribe in the future, and he must not let King Ming's tribe implicate the royal court again.

This defeat made Rouran Khan figure out a reason.

The Yu Dynasty was far stronger than he imagined. King Ming said that the Yu Dynasty was weak, most of which came from imagination and jealousy, so he could only believe two or three points.

If Yu Chaoxian hadn't completely defeated the Turks last year, he and Sui Wang would have had a high probability of stalemate with the Turks, and would not have driven the Turks out so easily and become the new Khan of the Grassland.

From this, it can be seen that the power of Yu Chao far exceeded his imagination.

He can repay King Ming for changing his fate, but he will not repay with the safety of the whole family.

I hope that King Ming will stop angering the emperor of the Yu Dynasty.

Rouran Khan's attitude changed silently, he began to let his subordinates and people from Suiwang's tribe pick and choose King Ming, and never spoke to stop him.

No matter how difficult it is to see in the grassland, he no longer immediately thinks of King Ming like before.

The status of each tribe in Rouran changed overnight from Rouran Royal Court, Mingwang Tribe, and Suiwang Tribe to Rouran Royal Court, Suiwang Tribe, and Mingwang Tribe.

It's not that King Ming didn't feel the change in Rouran Khan's attitude towards him, but he didn't immediately take these changes to heart.He has studied the emperor's mind since he was a child, and he knows that people who hold great power will change.

The failure to attack the Yu Dynasty can be regarded as an unprecedented blow to the Rouran Royal Court, which was established less than a year ago.

How could Rouran Khan, who personally gave the order for the coalition forces to attack the Great Wall, to still be smiling after such a setback?

It's normal to be unhappy.

King Ming didn't realize the seriousness of the matter until he encountered frequent provocations from other tribes, and was even robbed of [-] sheep in broad daylight.

I don't know since when, he has become a fat sheep in the eyes of Suiwang tribe and Wangting tribe.

King Ming was so angry that he cursed Rouran Khan as a white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with him.

If he hadn't recognized heroes with his insight, helped Rouran Khan, who was still a Turkic slave, to get rid of his status as a slave, and bought more Rouran slaves, how could Rouran Khan be where he is today?

He still remembers the promise Rouran Khan made to him when he first became Khan of the Grassland.

What did you say that you regard him as the father of rebirth and never allow anyone to bully him? Oh, before he asked Rouran Khan to take back the Central Plains for him, Rouran Khan watched the barbarians bully him.

While being angry, Duke Ming also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart.

He is not afraid of the people under Rouran Khan's tent, when supporting Rouran Khan, he has already left behind.If Rouran Khan is really ungrateful, then change Khan.

He was afraid of King Sui, that man with sharp eyes like an eagle, who had murderous intentions towards him the first time they met.

The most desperate thing is that all the hidden guards he sent out to approach Sui Wang disappeared without a sound.

Today, the royal family of the former dynasty has been wandering for nearly a hundred years.

Because after Emperor Changping ascended the throne, he vigorously purged the government, and King Ming had to use his trump card to maintain his position in the northern grassland.

First, from the wealth plundered and transported from the Yu Dynasty for decades, and then from the secret help to the slaves of Rouran...

Now, apart from the King Ming's tribe, which seemed to be in danger under the threat of Suiwang's tribe, only the dark guard battalion passed down from generation to generation and the aristocratic family that he was holding tightly to seven inches remained in King Ming's hands.

Duke Ming wanted to get rid of the current predicament, and the first thing he thought of was them.

Seven days later, the family received a letter from King Ming.

King Ming still stubbornly believed that his predicament came from the Yu Dynasty and Emperor Changping, so he planned to solve the problem fundamentally.

Making Emperor Changping suffer, Yu Chao was flustered and could not take care of him.

Let Emperor Changping suffer and take revenge in advance.

In short, avoiding misfortune and revenge, he always wants to achieve the same.

King Ming offered three options to the family.

Assassinate the Empress Dowager Su.

Assassinate the sons and daughters of Emperor Changping, Yu Heng's name is on the list and circled with a red pen, like a special reminder.

Assassinate Qinghe County King or Xinyang County King.

For a period of [-] days, as long as the aristocratic family does not meet any of the above requirements.No matter how much the family suffered, King Ming would immediately hand over the evidence that the family had betrayed the Yu Dynasty to Emperor Changping.

"He used this to scare us again." Patriarch Zheng gritted his teeth.

The most hateful thing is that they clearly know that this is intimidation, but they dare not have any intention of gambling.

Taishi Cui, with white hair and beard, closed his eyes weakly, and sighed, "He didn't."

If the situation on King Ming's side is really dangerous to the point of precarity, he must hope that there is a major event that can relieve his pressure.

At least hold back Emperor Changping, don't continue to pass through the Great Wall Market, and force the other tribes in Rouran to isolate or hate him.

King Ming chose to start with the Yu Dynasty.

Successfully assassinating the people on the list can bring chaos to the Yu Dynasty for at least three to five months.

Suddenly let the world know that the aristocratic family colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty decades ago, and it can also achieve the goal of making the Yu Dynasty busy cleaning up the family and having no time to take care of the northern border.

The aristocratic family is already an abandoned child in King Ming's plan.

The people present are all the patriarchs of aristocratic families, even if their vision is not as broad as that of Grand Master Cui, they are not incomprehensible elm lumps.

The patriarch of the Kang family turned pale and turned to the patriarch of the Zheng family beside him, muttering, "The wolf is coming, it really is here."

This time, it is no longer simply to find trouble with Emperor Changping, but to really kill the fish and kill the net.

Patriarch Zheng's reaction was not much better than Patriarch Kang's. Although he was not pushed down, his legs were so weak that he could only support the weight of the two of them by using his hands to prop up the table with blue veins.

Patriarch Chen raised his hand to cover his reddened eyes, and suddenly thought of his little great-grandson who was born last year.

People, when you get old, you can't help but soften your heart.

He asked in a low voice, "Do you have a way to send the junior elsewhere first?"

Even if the family is ransacked and the family is wiped out in the future, at least some blood will be left to prove to the world that the Yuzhou Chen family once existed.

Taishi Cui sneered, his eyes fell on the British Duke who looked down at the tea like a sculpture like a knife, and said in a strange way, "Thanks to the blessings of Qi Liulang's nine sons and nine daughters, the imperial censor is troublesome. My family has already sent them away." The child can only be brought back."

The Duke of England didn't hear the cynicism of Grand Master Cui, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.

Patriarch Zheng and the others were reminded, and hope appeared in their eyes again, "Yu Heng! There is Yu Heng on the list! Let Qi Baixuan poison Yu Heng!"

The British Duke suddenly raised his eyelids, the emotions contained in his eyes were obviously peaceful but chilling, and he subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.

He looked at all the people who flinched from their brows one by one, and said hoarsely and calmly, "short-sighted."

Using my wife's life in exchange for Qi Baixuan's humble life, how could it be used just to keep the family alive?

A much younger voice suddenly sounded from the corner, "What's your opinion?"

The sunlight shone on the jade pendant around the man's waist through the gap in the window lattice, and the word 'Yu' could be vaguely seen.

After King Ling and Xiao Ning got married, for some reason, he suddenly had the idea of ​​bringing Xiao Ning back home.

Emperor Changping originally didn't want to agree, but changed his mind temporarily after receiving Ji Minyan's invitation.Give Ji Jingyu half a year to take Xiao Ning to the northern border and return home.

Ji Xinxue was happy for her brother and sister-in-law because she saw Xiao Ning cry in public for the first time.Suddenly learned that in the next six months, the workload will increase by half.

The remaining half was allocated to Yu Heng.

In other words, the price of Ji Jingyu's honeymoon is Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng's hair.

When Ji Xinxue learned the truth, she almost cried.

It's a pity that no matter how hard he tried to endure, he couldn't resist Yao Yu's tricky angle, and he still shed two lines of tears after all.

This kind of days of trembling with excitement at every turn finally came to an end when Ji Jingyu left Chang'an at night.

Even though she had gone through two sets of medicine jades of completely different sizes, and realized the difference between the two, when she saw the comparison between the medicine jade and the real thing, Ji Xinxue still felt regretful.

If, if he was not greedy for pleasure, when he first found out that Yu Heng was trying to use a medicine jade that was completely different from the medicine jade he had prepared on him, he suggested that using his medicine jade would save time, so why should he be punished? Such a hideous and terrifying thing... Woo, it hurts, it's completely different from the medicine jade!

After the cloud and rain were completely absorbed, Ji Xinxue lay on her back with her eyes glazed over, clutching her battered waist.

Although the feeling at the beginning is completely different from that of Yaoyu, the experience is also different.

It can only be said that after going through a difficult process, the fruit will be unusually sweet.

Suddenly there was a warm touch on the forehead, followed by a voice that had been remembered by the body.

"How are you feeling?"

Ji Xinxue blushed, raised her eyelids as if nothing had happened, looked into worried eyes, and said in a strange way, "It's okay, brother is on his honeymoon, let's work hard first, and sooner or later, brother will return!"

The thin lips suddenly raised so that Ji Xinxue couldn't look away from the arc, and she couldn't refuse to stick to the corners of the lips that were also raised.

"Okay, I'll wait."

The next day, the two of them took it for granted that they should seize the last vacation as an excuse to stay in bed.

Ji Xinxue had a hoarse voice, a tingling pain in her neck and chest, a sore back, and weak legs...

In short, I don't want to get out of bed, let alone go out.

Taking advantage of Ji Xinxue's half-dream and half-awake state, Yu Heng quickly replaced Yaoyu without giving Ji Xinxue any time to react.

When Ji Xinxue sat up with her eyes wide open like a cat with fried fur, Yu Heng had already gone to the small kitchen to fetch the clear porridge that was always warm in the stove.

Although it has been cooked for several hours, there is no sticky feeling in the bowl, and the outline of the rice grains is still clearly visible.

Ji Xinxue opened his mouth reluctantly, and Yu Heng fed the porridge into his mouth with a spoon.

Hiss, it was as light as drinking water.

"Hungry, want to eat meat."

He looked at Yu Heng eagerly, his eyes full of coquettishness that he hadn't noticed.

Like a cat owner who knows well that the "servant" will meet all his requirements, and takes it for granted.

Yu Heng's hand stopped.

I don't know if it's because of his extremely fair skin, Ji Xinxue's body is prone to leaving marks.

When he was emotionally moved, he cried so hard that there were blushing tear marks on both sides of his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were looking at him brightly, just like last night...
