(Forty-two)
In the cold spring, Empress Dowager Hu, who had been a monster for more than ten years without causing trouble, passed away.
Looking back on everything, they are all like dust and smoke.
The death of the Queen Mother did not cause the slightest disturbance in Northern Qi.
The Hu family knew that what Empress Dowager Hu planned was a treasonous act, so the emperor was extraordinarily merciful because he was not implicated.
Ashina was responsible for the posthumous affairs of Empress Dowager Hu. The ceremony in the mausoleum was simple and she was not buried with Gao Zhan.
With the deaths of Gao Zhan and Empress Dowager Hu, the imprint left by the former Northern Qi Dynasty became increasingly faint, as if the bleak and despairing royal rule had never existed.
…
After several years of rest and recuperation, Northern Qi had quietly acquired the capital to stand firm in this troubled world and compete in the world.
No need to rely on others to breathe, no need to linger for breath.
The Turkic royal court was also glad more than once that it chose Northern Qi for the original marriage.
Who would have thought that Northern Qi, which was stuck in a muddy swamp, would really be able to regain its vitality and become a powerful enemy of other countries.
Of course, he is the strongest and most reliable ally of the Turkic Ashina clan.
During the time when the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were united and all the people surrendered and flexed their muscles, the powerful officials and emperors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were in a fierce struggle for power, which ended with the victory of the emperor Yu Wenyong.
After the internal strife ended, the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty woke up. The Northern Qi Dynasty had already grown its fangs and claws again, throwing off its burdens.
Yu Wenyong: (????︿????)
Could his life be any more miserable?
When Emperor Xiaomin Yuwenjue was alive, although he was a member of the royal family, he bore the title of prince but had no real power. If he was not careful, he would be beaten, kicked, or even forced to become a monk.
Later, Yu Wenjue died at the hands of Yu Wenhu, and his brother Yu Wenyu succeeded to the throne. He was able to escape from the temple, but he was already walking on thin ice.
Even later, when the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty fell into his hands, and after several years of exhausting efforts to keep a low profile and eliminate the powerful minister Yu Wenhu, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that the Northern Qi Dynasty was already sharpening his sword beside the bed.
Yu Wenyong knew that the internal friction would only stop, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not withstand the turmoil.
Therefore, it is better to show weakness appropriately and seek peace temporarily in exchange for a moment of respite for the future.
In just a few years, he will definitely be able to manage the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which has been weakened by years of civil strife, in an orderly manner. By then, the Eastern Expedition will be able to defeat the city of Ye.
It is said that the young emperor of Northern Qi has not yet established a throne, and his throne is empty.
The Ashina family was able to hold palace power in the Northern Qi Dynasty as a foreign woman, which was very important, so why could the Northern Zhou Dynasty not follow suit.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. Even Gao Zhan, who was mediocre and desolate at that time, can suddenly wake up to the prodigal son after winning the Ashina family, let alone a green young man like Gao Wei.
When you are young, you must admire your love and cannot think about it.
The most indispensable thing in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was princes and noble ladies, who were good at running a household, good at poetry, and good women.
Making a decisive decision, Yuwen Yong sent an envoy to Yecheng with a letter of credence.
Sunge: (;??????Д???? )
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, was a short-lived wise emperor who stabbed powerful officials in the back.
Countless historians of later generations have even asserted that there are enough reasons to believe that if Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong could live ten more years, the world would be unified under his hands, and the history of the Chinese nation would be rewritten.
Instinct to create a prosperous age, but failed to fate.
Looking at the credentials on the desk, Sunge fell into deep thought.
Yu Wenyong, who was far-sighted and far-sighted, was both courageous and resolute, and also had the courageous character of King Gou Jian of Yue, so he would never surrender without a fight.
Nowadays, the internal difficulties of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have been eliminated, and external strategies have begun. The prosperous Northern Qi Dynasty has suddenly become a serious problem for Yuwen Yong.
This embellished letter of credence promised an alliance, gold, silver and silk, jades and beauties, horses, food and grass, and even bows, arrows and armor.
I have to admit, it’s really generous.
First, the beauties with wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and then Yuwen Yong slowly took the Northern Zhou Dynasty to reappear three thousand years ago.
Is it possible for Yue Jia to swallow Wu?
Innocent!
"What do you think, cousin?"
Sunge handed the certificate of credence to Gao Changgong, tapping his fingertips on the table and frowning.
Gao Changgong, who is over thirty years old, is still handsome and lives up to his reputation.
Gao Changgong glanced ten lines and said softly, "Your Majesty, you can go straight in alone, or you can build a plank road."
Sun Ge's mouth curved and he no longer frowned, "What's the explanation?"
She knew in her heart that Gao Changgong understood her.
They are kings and ministers, cousins, and confidants.
In this troubled world, it is so lucky to have someone like Gao Changgong by your side.
"In today's world, the Southern and Northern Dynasties stand side by side, and the Southern and Southern Dynasties live in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if they have too much time to take care of themselves, they will never ask for trouble and interfere in this great struggle in the world."
"In the north, in recent years, the fortunes of the Northern Qi Dynasty have been far better than those of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Empress Dowager's mother tribe, the Turks, also loves the Northern Qi Dynasty and does not dare to abandon it."
"The initiative lies in His Majesty's hands."
Sunge chuckled, that was indeed the case.
"Don't hit the smiling person with your hands. Since Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was determined to make things right, it would be unkind to reject him directly and keep him thousands of miles away."
"If I remember correctly, it is stated in the certificate of credence that all unmarried women in the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be selected by me."
"The Northern Qi harem is indeed too lonely."
"Xu Shu Yu Wenyong, I want to marry Yang Lihua, the daughter of the Duke of Sui, as my queen."
Yang Lihua is also a legendary woman.
The journey of life is full of ups and downs.
A noble girl from a well-known family was granted marriage by Yu Wenyong and married to the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. She later naturally became the queen.
It is a pity that the successor Yuwen Yun could not hold up the wall, and the five queens stood side by side.
Immediately afterwards, she became the Empress Dowager.
Later, her biological father Yang Jian seized the throne, and Yang Lihua also became the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty from the empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the daughter of Duke Yang Jian is engaged to the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"besides……"
Gao Changgong stopped talking.
Yang Lihua is not yet in her prime, and her childishness is still there.
Sun Ge turned to look at Gao Changgong and said meaningfully, "I don't mind waiting for her to grow up."
Furthermore, Gao Wei is only three years older than Yu Wenyun. If Yu Wenyun can marry her, can she not?
Huh, she doesn't accept it.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Standing behind Yang Lihua is Sui Guogong's Yang family, which was once the most famous Dugu family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty."
"Although the Dugu family has declined, its influence cannot be underestimated. It is not an exaggeration to call the Dugu family spiritual leaders."
"I am young and promising, and I have a bright future. I cannot compare to that idiot prince."
Sunge muttered unconvinced.
The legendary Dugu family had one family and three queens. How could she not be curious.
Gao Changgong thought for a moment and then responded, "Your Majesty, you are wise."
The Duke of Sui, Yang Jian, was a minister of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, and was entrusted with an important task. Your Majesty's plan is very clever.
Success or failure is a matter of one move.
Under Sunge's instruction, Gao Changgong completed the proposal in one go and rushed eight hundred miles to the Northern Zhou Dynasty with a sincere proposal.
It is not yet known who is better at playing chess.
