It has nothing to do with romance. It's Huqitu's words to cheat Concubine and Yu Ruyan. But the latter half of the truth cannot be said by Huqitu.
It has nothing to do with romance, but only for sincerity.
The big sweat on the grassland likes to express his feelings directly, not to mention tactfully like a poet. Huqitu never said such disgusting words, even to his original queen, the woman who made him fall in love at first sight. She is also a noble lady in the Han family, knowledgeable and reasonable, with refined temperament.
That year, Hu Qitu went to Chu and met her on the street. She was deeply attracted to her at a glance. After many twists and turns, she fought against all suggestions and married her back to be her own queen. But on the day she gave birth, she left a son and died of dystocia.
Since then, Huqitu has never been moved by any woman until that day when he saw a woman who was very similar to his wife. The same temperament is extraordinary, but in contrast, Yu Ruyan has a learned temperament, and also has the demeanor of a general. This is very rare for a woman. I called Qitu to send someone to investigate her until her origin.
No wonder she has the temperament of poetry and calligraphy. No wonder she has the style of a generous general in the face of danger. It turns out that she is the famous female official - Yu Ruyan. For a wife, calling her can be a crazy pursuit, and it doesn't matter if she is humiliated or opposed.
But for Yu Ruyan, he was only willing to look at her from a distance and dared not blaspheme her.
Her pseudonym is Yunruo, and she doesn't want to mention the past. All right, let Yunruo stay on the grassland to be her "Mr. Cloud" and think selfishly.
In the morning of the next day, Concubine He woke up drunk and did not see the shadow of Huqitu beside him. After inquiring, she knew that Huqitu left after seeing that she was drunk last night. Others saw him talking with Yu Ruyan late at night.
Concubine He was so jealous that she wanted to settle accounts with Yu Ruyan, but she calmed down after being persuaded by people around her: "My wife calmed down. That woman was trusted by Khan, so it would be wise not to conflict with her at this time. If my wife went with anger at this time, wouldn't she offend Khan and hurt herself?"
"Then what do you say?" He Fei Nu asked.
"In the eyes of my maidservants, it's better to bear it first. It's not too late to deal with her when the sweat is too fresh for her."
Although Concubine He is not reconciled, this is the best way at present, so she has to agree.
With the encouragement of people around him, Concubine He pretends to be generous and virtuous, and sends supplements to Huqitu every day, but she doesn't mention anything about Yu Ruyan. Occasionally, he called Qitu to mention it, and the concubine also said hypocritically: "I know that Khan misses the queen. I see that Mr. Yun is similar to the former queen, and the sweat is not as good as..."
How could Huqitu not see Hefei's careful thinking? Then he interrupted, "What did Aifei say? I told you that I had no such concern for her."
He Fei, who got the "promise", left contentedly, but did not see the look of disgust behind her.
"Oh, who is this? Why haven't we seen it before?" He and his concubine came out and met Yu Ruyan at the head without taking a few steps.
"I have seen Concubine He," said the slave beside Yu Ruyan.
Yu Ruyan knew that she was the most favored Concubine He beside Huqitu. It was said that she was very beautiful and was a rare beauty on the grassland. See today, Yu Ruyan finds what she said is true. Concubine He is indeed called "Tianziguo Se", but she dresses too seductively, which makes people hate her.
"I've seen the concubine," Yu Ruyan said politely.
He Fei said deliberately, "I've never seen this sister before. Whose daughter is she?"
"Goddess, she is Mr. Yun who teaches the princes and princesses to read." He Fei is surrounded by humanity.
He Fei then pretended to be enlightened and said, "Oh, so you are the lady! I heard that you Han people only have male gentlemen."
Yu Ruyan explained: "In the schools of Han people, there are indeed men as teachers, but many high school ladies of Han people also read and can read. It is not appropriate to invite men as teachers, so there will also be women from the teaching workshop or teaching aunts from the palace as teachers."
"I see. I'm ignorant." He Fei said with teeth clenched.
After seeing off Concubine He, Yu Ruyan could not help sighing. With this woman, she was afraid that her life would not be easy in the future. Hopes Huqitu will abide by the letter and release himself in three months.
After calming down for several days, before he and his concubine found Yu Ruyan's stubble, Chen's army had already pressed on the border of the Tusang tribe.
Zhao Wenzheng was very angry when he learned that the leader of the Tusang tribe called Qitu and robbed military rations and hostages at the border. He also heard that there was no Yu Ruyan among the returned hostages. This undoubtedly undermined Zhao Wenzheng's plan.
At first, most ministers in the central court supported the development with the Tusang tribe, but Xiao Feiqing suggested that it would be better to use this opportunity to ally with the Tusang tribe.
The hall was in an uproar.
"Xiao Xiangguo, do you mean that we are going to beg for peace from the Huns, as we are known to the State of Chen? This will make other countries laugh."
"Yes, as the prime minister of a country, how can we seek peace when the border is harassed?"
"How can we unite with those barbarians?"
"The minister seconded the proposal. This is not feasible. When Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall in the north, the Huns were more than seven hundred miles away. Those Hu people were scared out of their wits. Do you want us to surrender to them today?"
Xiao Feiqing said, "Your Majesty, I mean to use this opportunity to ally with Huqitu. I never said I would beg for peace and surrender to him."
Zhao Wenzheng liked to hear most of the unexpected voices in the court. Hearing what Xiao Feiqing said, he asked, "Everyone may have misunderstood Xiao Aiqing. Xiao Aiqing, please talk about your plan carefully."
Xiao Feiqing said: "The emperor has learned that his officials are not afraid of death. They want to bow down to the barbarians. But they feel that as the emperor's officials, they should share the emperor's worries. The strategy of a national scholar should turn corruption into magic and turn bad things into good things."
"Let's talk about Xiao Xiangguo. How did the Guoshi turn corruption into magic?" a minister asked in a strange way.
Xiao Feiqing said, "Your Majesty, I think it's really hateful that Huqitu tribe robbed our army's food and grass and harassed our border. But everything should be looked at two sides. The Tusang tribe of Huqitu gradually rose in the Huns, and has marriage relations with the most powerful Tar tribe of the Huns. Isn't this just what we think we can use?"
Zhao Wenzheng asked, "Xiao Aiqing means..."
Xiao Feiqing said:. Chu is in the south and Qi is in the north. If we can use the Huns to contain Qi in the north, will it be most beneficial to Chen? "
Zhao Wenzheng nodded and smiled: "Xiao Aiqing's move is a new way. Previously, we only thought that those barbarians were fierce and rude. We only wanted to defend them, and never thought we could use them. Xiao Aiqing, come to Dongnuan Pavilion next time."
Xiao Feiqing's words of "crazy disobedience" in the court were highly praised by Zhao Wenzheng. After the next court, Xiao Feiqing followed Zhao Wenzheng to Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Xiao Aiqing didn't have a good rest after her marriage. It was really hard to catch up with the Huns again." Zhao Wenzheng smiled and ordered Little Muzi to bring Xiao Feiqing a cup of the best Tieguanyin.
"The emperor is polite. He is a minister, eats your salary and worries about you." Xiao Feiqing said.
Zhao Wenzheng said, "If it weren't for your words today, I would surely send troops."
Xiao Feiqing said with a smile, "In fact, what I admire most about the emperor is that he never acts rigidly in his administration. For example, I proposed to ally with the Huns today. If the emperor doesn't have his eyes as bright as fire, I'm afraid that I will be blamed. The emperor walks alone in ancient and modern times, and I admire him very much."
Zhao Wenzheng laughed and said, "When did Xiao Aiqing learn to use this kind of words? In fact, wise emperors have always been the first to govern the country since ancient times. They dare to do things that others dare not do. For example, the first emperor dared to appoint female officials in the court."
Since Yu Ruyan was sent to Mobei, Zhao Wenzheng has never mentioned her again. Why did she mention it suddenly today? Xiao Feiqing was puzzled.
Zhao Wenzheng sighed: "In fact, this time, I want to send troops, in addition to the reason that they hijack military rations, there is another reason. Xiao Aiqing, do you know?"
Xiao Feiqing tried to answer, "Is it because... Yu Ruyan?"
Zhao Wenzheng nodded and said, "In the eyes of outsiders, I am an ungrateful emperor who has failed Yu Ruyan's teaching and her devotion to Chen. In fact, how did they ever understand my intention?"
Xiao Feiqing asked, "Is it because the emperor sent Yu Ruyan to Mobei for another purpose?"
Zhao Wenzheng glanced at Xiao Feiqing. Xiao Feiqing seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly, "The emperor will not blame me if I made a mistake."
"It doesn't matter. It's not convenient for me to tell you now, but Yu Ruyan must not fall into the hands of the Huns." Zhao Wenzheng said.
Xiao Feiqing said, "Then we can send envoys to negotiate with Huqitu, let him release Yu Ruyan, and discuss an alliance with him. I am willing to be the person to share the emperor's worries."
Zhao Wenzheng said with a smile, "I'm very relieved that Xiao Aiqing has done his best for the results. But you don't have to leave for the time being. For one thing, you should stay at home more with your wife when you are newly married, and for the other thing, I hope Chu Yang will go for me. Before negotiating with Huqitu, we should always give him some dismounting threats, otherwise the world will really say that I am afraid of death."
"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Xiao Feiqing smiled on his face, but his heart was very bitter.
