Chapter 543 Concubine Wan returns to visit her relatives
Zheng Heng heard that the music was a song learned by the two of them when they were young and the musicians in the palace. The song was written by the musicians after they reunited with their family. The song was cheerful and the second half was melodious and melodious.
He sat down alone to think about the meaning of the song, and then sent the people away when Yao Qier came back and asked, "Brother Zheng, what should we do next?"
Zheng Heng thought about it and replied: "Don't do anything for the time being, wait for the opportunity."
"But what's the difference in the rhythm?" Yaoqier asked curiously when he saw that he was so sure.
"That song is called reunion. It was written by Ah Mei." Zheng Heng smiled and said softly.
Yao Qier was young but premature. With just this sentence, he understood the meaning, nodded, and comforted him, "Although this is different from our plans, there will definitely be no trouble with Mr. Xiao's protection by the princess. Brother Zheng will soon be able to meet the princess again."
Zheng Heng looked at Yao Qier with a complicated look, as if he was appreciating but something he couldn't understand, but Zheng Heng understood his praise: "You are really a smart child!"
The young beggar smiled proudly.
In the past few days, Jiujiang City has temporarily fallen into a strange calm. The city seems to have returned to its former prosperity, and the city gate has also begun to travel with each other normally, but those who are interested still notice the difference from the past.
At this time, in the Great Wei Palace thousands of miles away, Emperor Tuoba Yu of Wei received a secret letter from a secret spy. He opened it and looked at it. After thinking about it, he got up and walked out. The inner supervisor behind him jogged behind him and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, I want to rest when I am tired. Which empress do you want to rest? I'll report it to the empresses to prepare."
"No need, I will go to the imperial concubine's palace to talk."
Tuoba Yu kept walking all the way to the Jiafu Palace of Concubine Wan. The inner prisoner who was following behind was already panting and sweating.
He hurriedly took a few breaths, stood outside Jiafu Hall and sang: "Your Majesty is here~"
He hurriedly chased in again.
Halfway through Tuoba Yu, Princess Zhaoyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, now Concubine Wan, had already come out in a hurry. After saluting, she followed him with a smile and asked softly, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly come? I'm not prepared!"
Tuoba Yu looked at her curiously and said in confusion: "What are you preparing for? A Wan comes here to sit down, I have something to say to you!"
As he said that, he also patted the soft collapse beside him.
All the arrangements of Jiafu Palace were arranged according to the fashion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was very similar to the Zhaoyang Princess Mansion in Jiankang. Although Awan was as unfamiliar with that Princess Mansion, Tuoba Yu's thoughts moved her. Moreover, she was happy with Tuoba Yu for many years and had given back her affection, how could she not be happy?
Concubine Wan sat down shyly next to Tuoba Yu, and saw Tuoba Yu take out a letter from her arms and hand it to her.
The letter could be seen from a distance in Chinese. Concubine Wan realized that Tuoba Yu had something to say with her. She quickly took the letter with both hands and sat upright and read it carefully.
"This is said that Emperor Zhou Qian Awei went south? Will she be in danger?" Awan frowned and was a little worried.
Tuoba Yu also looked solemn, and after a while he spoke, "I know you have a way to find out the news, why don't you write to me and ask?"
Concubine Wan hesitated and said, "Pingcheng is a thousand miles away from Jiankang, and it may have been time to change."
"No need to be so troublesome. As long as you send someone to Xiulizhuang, you miss Ah Mei, I want to write a letter to ask her how safe it is. There are some small things, how can I deliver it to her as soon as possible."
Tuoba Yu proposed.
Concubine Wan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll let Azhi prepare immediately."
Soon Azhi brought back the news. The people from Xiulizhuang said that there was a delivery convoy from the south the day before yesterday. They said that the boss had left Beijing a few days ago and seemed to have gone to Hongdu County. If he wanted to bring things back, he would have to send them to Jiankang first. The people from Xiulizhuang in Jiankang found the opportunity to send them to Hongdu.
"So, Wei'er is indeed no longer Jiankang." When Concubine Wan heard the news, she sat in the room and pondered for a long time. She was thinking about what Tuoba Yu would do next. She knew that although he had never mentioned Wei'er for so long, he had not let it go.
But she understood the ambition of this young emperor better and would not stagnate at all because of a woman.
Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty's monarch and ministers are suspicious, it is impossible for Tuoba Yu to turn a blind eye to it.
After a long time, Concubine Wan made a decision in her heart and stood up to meet Tuoba Yu.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Concubine Wan looked at Tuoba Yu's increasingly determined face.
"The imperial concubine has been married into the Great Wei Dynasty for nearly a year. I think she misses her relatives very much. I will allow you to go back to your hometown to wake up!"
As soon as Tuoba Yu said this, Awan was stunned for a moment. He had never heard that the princess and princesses could return to her hometown to visit her relatives unless the country was destroyed.
"This seems to be inconsistent with the rules!" Awan didn't want to go back, especially the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty was particularly confusing at this time.
"That's because you Han people have set rules. My Xianbei people never care about these!"
Tuoba Yuman didn't care about enlightenment.
Awan was speechless and dissatisfied, and said with courage: "Your Majesty is not asking the court officials to learn Chinese dialect or learn Chinese characters now. He even asked several princes to take the girls of the gentry. If the concubine rashly returns to the Great Zhou Dynasty, would it be detrimental to Your Majesty's reform?"
Tuoba Yu was not angry and waved his hand with a smile, "I asked the ministers to learn Chinese characters, change their names, and even take the women of the gentry to make me, Xianbei, and better stay in the Central Plains, rather than letting these rules of the Han people tie my hands and feet. Zheng Wei once said that those red tape are very annoying, and this is called taking the essence and removing the dross!"
Awan knew that she could not make Tuoba Yu change his mind. Although she was disappointed, she did not continue to argue. Instead, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes and agreed, "Your Majesty is anxious. I will go back and prepare now."
Awan didn't know when she turned around and left, Tuoba Yu looked at her back with a little regret. What he thought of was the argument with Zheng Wei and his brothers and sisters in that small courtyard a few years ago. Her remarks made him enlightened.
It took a long time since no one dared to debate with him so freely. I really miss it!
Now the sinicization he implemented is just to allow the powerful Han people to accept it. He always remembers that if the people want to accept it, they must make the people have clothes, hunger and food, sleep with couches, several houses, several acres of land, and warm cloth. There are injustices to be complained, and they will no longer be caught on the battlefield as human shields.
He has been doing it little by little over the years. Although the results are not particularly significant now, he can feel that the people of Pingcheng are no longer as afraid of the Xianbei as before!
If one day Zheng Wei could see this change, would he be happy?
The letter of nationality for the Great Wei imperial concubine returned to visit relatives was just sent out of Pingcheng, and Concubine Wan's honor guard convoy set off. Awan looked at Tuoba Yu, dressed in a plain brocade robe and Han man, and was both happy and worried, "Your Majesty, you have accompanied me to return to China and it is my fault for refusing national affairs."
"No problem, I have made arrangements. Cui Xiang is now getting more prestige in the court. With him discussing with several princes and generals, there will be no trouble in the court."
Tuoba Yu leaned in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
