Chapter 1247 Thunder, Rain and Dew Are All Your Grace
The sun has not yet set.
The summer heat left by the scorching sun during the day is still rising. In the Hanfeng Hall, the bedroom of Zihui Palace, the palace people also brought in many large ice cubes and placed them in the hall early. The water is pumped up and sprayed out through a section of bamboo tube.
But the emperor still felt hot.
Xu Hui was humming softly.
Gradually, I couldn't control myself, my lips were already bitten, my chant slowly turned into sobbing, and even my body began to fear and run away.
For Xu Chongrong, a talented woman from a famous noble family, taking luck before sunset is already a licentious act that violates etiquette, but the sage doesn't care about it at all, and pounces on her with red eyes panting heavily, and kills her in a few blows Her dress was torn to pieces.
This dress is made of the famous lake silk from her hometown of Huzhou, and it is also the best Nanxun Jili lake silk among the lake silk. In my memory, since Zhenguan, the silk industry in this small city of Nanxun has been opening more and more every year. Here It has become a distribution center for raw silk in Huzhou, reaching more than 50 silk warehouses at most, forming a bustling and lively silk market more than one mile long.
The silk purchased by the silk shop is loaded here on the silk boats bound for various commercial ports. The bluestone steps on the river port are heavily wrapped with silk to draw deep grooves.
Up to now, lake silk has become the best silk in the world. Lake silk is divided into head silkworm, second silkworm, and last silkworm. The slightly thicker ones are mainly used as tribute to the court concubines, princes and princesses.
The palace skirt on Xu Hui's body was specially woven by the emperor, and it was a special favor.
The cost of a palace dress is worth eight hundred thousand.
But now, the emperor has tore up this skirt, which is equivalent to the property of more than a dozen ordinary people, in three or five strokes.
Xu Hui didn't dare to resist too much.
"Stay home, spare the concubine!"
Xu Hui begged bitterly, but did not get the emperor's mercy and drew a few blood marks.
In the end, he passed out directly.
The palace people on the side couldn't help reminding the emperor in a low voice.
The emperor got up angrily.
Xu Hui woke up leisurely and backed away in fear.
"The concubine is too weak."
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were still red, Xu Hui had no choice but to beg, "The concubine can no longer bear the favor of the king today, why not call a warrior to come to honor the blessing!"
"You mean Shang Gong Wu Mei?"
Xu Hui nodded, pear blossoms brought rain.
The emperor, who was full of evil fire, just wanted to vent the evil fire in his heart, "Hurry up and call Wu Mei!"
Wu Mei was reading a newspaper when she received the edict from her servant, and the front page had a lot of stories about Wang Xuance's mission to Tianzhu.
It is said that there was a civil strife in the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo took the opportunity to send troops. After hearing the news, the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy Wang Xuance to order Tubo to stop sending troops, and asked him to preside over the quelling of the civil strife in Niborna.
After Wang Xuance led the decree, he went all the way to the southwest. Along the way, he summoned 8,000 cavalry from the tribes of Dangxiang, Bailan, and Subi. However, he secretly led the elite cavalry to detour, crossed the snow mountain and ice valley, and killed the Tubo army by surprise, attacked the Tubo army at night, and beheaded more than 3,000 people.
Then took advantage of the victory and led troops all the way to the city of Luoxie. Songtsan Gampo wanted to refuse the Tang envoy to go abroad, but Wang Xuance was so powerful that he was forced to go out of the city to plead guilty.
Wang Xuance asked the Tianzi sword to kill several nobles in Tubo, and then whipped Songtsen Gampo three times, and then the matter was temporarily over.
Afterwards, Songtsan Gampo quickly withdrew the troops sent to the Niborna Kingdom, but assassinated the exiled Niborna King who was originally in the Tubo Kingdom, intending to aggravate the chaos.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xuance did not use Tubo soldiers at all, but only used the 8,000 cavalry brought by himself to cross the mountain and enter Niboluo.
In June, they crossed the Himalayas all the way, and they won consecutive battles. By mid-August, they were only 60 miles away from the capital of Nibera.
At this time, Vishnu Gupta, who had usurped the throne and sought the dynasty, was terrified, so he had to mobilize troops from various places to deploy defenses, while at the same time borrowing troops from the Jieri Kingdom in the south for help.
A few days later, Wang Xuance bypassed Vishnu's line of defense by surprise and attacked the capital by surprise.
Although Wang Xuance led the tribal cavalry of Dangxiang, Supi and other vassal states, under Wang Xuance's command, he still had a brave will to fight. Facing the dangerous royal city, Wang Xuance captured a section of the city wall in just one day. to night.
In the middle of the night, the monks in the city responded and seized a city gate to lead the Tang army into the city.
Shivinu failed to last until his reinforcements from the periphery came back, and was finally captured alive by Wang Xuance and beheaded in public. The leaders and officials of all the states in Borneo gave orders.
In the end, the whole country of Nibera was settled down.
After suppressing the rebellion in the Nivalo Kingdom, Wang Xuance temporarily left eight thousand Tibetan troops in the Nivara Kingdom to help the new king maintain his rule. Then he took only a troop of cavalry to the Tianzhu Kingdom to return to the Jieri Empire.
He went along the existing trading road of Tubo-Nipoluo-Jieriqu Girl City. The road is difficult and only one horse passes.
Passing Nivala to Tianzhu, this road is much easier to walk.
But when they arrived at the Ganges Plain full of friendship, they discovered that the sky had changed here.
It turns out that King Jieri who once treated Xuanzang kindly and regarded him as a national teacher had died of illness. As soon as he died, the princes of Jieri Kingdom immediately began to fight among themselves.
One of the feudal princes, Alonashun, took advantage of the chaos to occupy the capital, Qunv City, and usurped the throne and became king.
When Emperor Jieri was in power, although he was able to unify Central India, his rule was also a relatively loose alliance system. After the collapse of the Gupta Dynasty, the kingdoms of Tianzhu fought in a melee, and later four stronger countries were formed. , King Jieri was originally just a prince, but later became king by chance, fought many victories, and later formed an alliance with another powerful country and defeated another alliance.
Later, the alliance was directly merged into one, so he conquered east and west and added threats and lures, and he barely achieved the unification of Zhongtianzhu in the Ganges River Basin. However, when he conquered the kingdom of Luqi in the southern plateau, he was defeated and stopped. not before.
Some countries on the east and west sides only pay tribute to them.
He himself later implemented the enfeoffment system, so that there were more than 30 feudal vassal states in Jieri. When he was in power, he was of course harmonious on the surface, but as soon as he died, Jieri immediately fell into internal strife and the empire fell apart. Xi.
The rule of King Jieri is similar to those of the kingdoms of Tianzhu in the past, very loose, and there are too many semi-independent feudal princes in the territory. These princes enjoy various powers in their fiefs, such as appointing officials, collecting taxes, and even owning armies, etc., but Jieri King does not have much power in these fiefs.
The territory that King Jieri directly controls is actually very small.
He had a daughter who married King Farabi and gave birth to his son Daro Shina IV. After the death of King Jiri, he claimed to have the right to inherit and established himself as the "king of kings". There are brothers of his brother-in-law, King Mokali, and one of King Jieri's subordinates, Naronasun.
It was at this time of great chaos that Wang Xuance came to Tianzhu and paid a return visit to Tianzhu under the order of the emperor.
When King Jieri was alive, he knew about the prosperity of the Eastern Tang Dynasty from many businessmen and Xuanzang, so he hoped to make good friends with Tang Dynasty and form alliances with the Tang Dynasty. Pay attention to diplomatic relations with neighboring powerful foreign countries.
It’s just that he died before the envoy from the Tang Dynasty came.
Alonashun heard that the Tang envoy was coming, so he planned to get support from the Tang envoy, hoping to overwhelm those powerful competitors with the support of the Tang emperor.
It’s just that although Wang Xuance came to this extremely hot and humid plain for the first time, he immediately rejected what the envoy sent by Alona Shun said.
Because no matter how the throne of the Jieri Kingdom is passed on, it is impossible for a noble general like Alona Shun to take his turn.
Whether it is passed on to a nephew or a daughter or a nephew, the throne must be passed on in the royal family anyway. How could Datang support a courtier usurping the throne?
Wang Xuance refused with righteous words.
At this time, other forces heard that Wang Xuance was coming, and they were all ready to welcome him. They also wanted to establish a relationship with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Aronasun, who was rejected, became furious, and he didn't want the other parties to get the support of Datang, so he simply sent people to rob and kill the mission, trying to control it firmly.
Wang Xuance never expected that the Tianzhu people would be so impolite and attack and kill the mission.
He didn't bring many followers, but he was caught off guard and almost all the horsemen under him were killed. In the end, it was Wang Xuance who fled bravely with his deputy.
He first ran to the northeast of Kamaluva, escaped Alona's interception and pursuit along his way, and escaped the siege by surprise.
Originally, the mission plan was to go to Kamaluva Kingdom after meeting King Jieri, but Wang Xuance only had a letter of credentials for King Kamaluwa left in his hand, so he went to see King Rizhou.
The Japanese king was also very polite to the two embarrassing envoys of the Tang Dynasty. After finding the middle school Tang merchants to help verify their identities, he immediately dispatched elite guards to send them back along the Tibetan River Valley. Tibet.
Wang Xuance circled around, and returned to Nivalo Kingdom again from Luoxie. Suppressed with anger, he ordered the eight thousand horsemen who had stayed in Nivara Kingdom to help maintain order, and then rushed towards Song Girl City.
Alona Shun led the troops to guard Chabo and Luocheng.
