Just when he was melancholy, Zhang Qiaoer suddenly remembered the two children staying elsewhere and had to get up at this time. Afraid of being seen by her children, she hurriedly wiped her face and stood up to dress despite the exhaustion all over her body. The storm last night, although not like last time, made her almost unable to get out of bed. But she still felt extremely tired.
Compared to her husband, who was also gentle and gentle in bed, that young man was so capable that even when his husband was not sick, he was far behind. One person simply cannot handle him. Last night, so many people were serving him at once, and I was actually sore from being tortured by them. What made her even more ashamed was the tricks Huang Qiong played when torturing him last night.
Thinking of herself and Huang Qiong yesterday, Zhang Qiaoer couldn't help but blush again. She is conservative by nature and has never done anything like that. You would think that there are so many tricks between the beds. Especially when he asked others to use their mouths, it was really embarrassing to think about. Fortunately, he was still the crown prince of a country, yet he was torturing these women in such a variety of ways.
Although she didn't force herself to do that, she was a little worried that the prince would not let her go tonight. So I endured the pain all over my body and just wanted to get out of the palace and go home as soon as possible. She had no intention of staying in the palace, and entering the palace this time was just a helpless choice forced by the prince. Now that she had experienced last night, she wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.
But when she was about to leave with her child, she was led by a eunuch into the Qin family's courtyard, a small hall with an internal and external structure in the shape of a worker. The eunuch pointed to the decorated room, the clothes taken from her home, and some books and said: "Mrs. Liu, respecting the prince's instructions, before Mr. Liu comes back or the Tubo people leave Beijing, you and the two The child will live here temporarily.”
"The Crown Prince has ordered that during your stay in the palace, Mrs. Qin will be responsible for the child's homework. The daily meals for you and the child will be similar to those of Madam Dong and the others. The Crown Prince has said that you can rest assured and The children will live here first. He will take care of other things, so you don’t have to worry. The prince has already given orders to buy some clothes for you and the two children."
"In a moment, the tailor from the Weaving Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will come over to measure you and your two children and cut some new clothes. So when the servants went to your house to pick up things yesterday, they only picked up a few temporary items for you and your children. Just for a change of clothes. Madam, please rest assured that the clothes brought to you are all packed by the palace maid. The prince said that if the slaves dare to lift a finger, they will break their arms. "
After hearing what the eunuch said, I realized that Huang Qiong didn't say hello at all. Not only had his mother's three residences been arranged, but she even brought her clothes. Zhang Qiaoer felt ashamed and angry when she thought of her clothes, especially those underwear, being turned over by a group of strangers. But she also knew that the prince had done so thoroughly, at least for the time being, he did not plan to let her out of the palace.
After understanding this, Zhang Qiaoer had no choice but to accept this reality even if he no longer wanted to stay in the palace. What she knew better was that the prince had forced her to stay in the palace and might not let her go. Just looking at the eunuch in front of him, he looked like he wanted to keep someone by force. Knowing that this was probably the prince's order, he had no chance of leaving the palace today.
Looking at the two children who were also at a loss, I was afraid that if I forced myself to leave, not only would I not be able to get out, but I would also scare the two children who were already a little scared. Zhang Qiaoer, who didn't know what to do now, but knew that if she stayed, what happened last night would happen again, and she would be sorry for her husband again, she could only accept the kindness helplessly.
Compared to the unwilling Zhang Qiaoer, Huang Qiong, who once again got what he wanted, came to Wanchun Palace with satisfaction. Huang Qiong, who was so proud of the spring breeze last night, felt particularly comfortable writing the book. Looking at the mountain of foldables on the desk, I no longer feel displeased. Seeing the prince's change from his previous gloom, even the ministers who came to meet him were quite surprised.
Although I don't know what good thing happened to this prince, he looked proud of the spring breeze, but today, no matter whether they are meeting or talking about things, this prince has changed his previous habit of not rubbing sand in his eyes and is not so harsh. . Although the requirements and standards have not been lowered, the words are not so strong, but it makes these ministers breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Especially the Minister of Rites who came to consult Huang Qiong and arranged to meet two Tantric Living Buddhas tomorrow. As for his arrangement, Huang Qiong basically didn't make things difficult for him this time. He just pointed out a few shortcomings in the package. And maybe it's because too many people were injured in the group fight, and their strength is somewhat lacking. After yesterday's fight, the Tubo monks became much more honest.
As for the Tubo tribal leaders and the heads of various tribes, they all stayed in the arranged inns. The clan leaders and leaders almost unanimously restrained their subordinates from taking to the streets. Of course there are one or two who make trouble and flirt with women after drinking. After being directly captured by the Chang'an government officials and officers and soldiers to sober up, these leaders and clan leaders became more honest.
Dignity is based on strength. Since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the king of Guilin invaded Luoxue City and almost wiped out the last Tibetan royal family. For more than a hundred years, Daqi had almost always won every battle against the Tubo tribes, and it continued to fragment and disintegrate. Even the most unruly Tubo people were beaten to death. Especially the Tubo tribes on the banks of Qinghai Lake are very honest.
Although they were fighting each other internally, and the Liugu Tribe and Qingtang and Tubo regarded each other as enemies, they still served the Qi Dynasty respectfully. The honesty of the Tubo people made it extremely worry-free for the Minister of Rites. Today, the crown prince who left Xijing has passed almost all of his plans, which makes this second-grade official who was trembling with fear before coming feel even more comfortable.
After a busy day, Huang Qiong himself felt that his efficiency was extremely high today. Huang Qiong, who also knew the reason for today's high efficiency, although hesitant, in the end Huang Qiong still made a big move and directly asked Liu Chang, who was due to return in a few days, to find out the prefecture and county where Chang'an Prefecture belongs. Take the trouble to make a trip to Yan'an Prefecture. Check the prefectures and counties under Yan'an Prefecture and the return and resettlement situation of the victims.
After sending someone to deliver the manuscript to Liu Chang, who was currently away from home, Huang Qiong felt somewhat guilty. In his heart, he felt guilty towards Liu Chang from time to time. Just thinking about the heat last night, he really didn't want to give up, so he could only compensate Liu Chang in other ways. He knew that Liu Chang had always wanted to be a state and county official so that his talents could benefit the people.
At present, there is a real shortage of prefectures and counties in the entire Shaanxi Road, or Yan'an Prefecture still lacks a prefect. It is not impossible to give Liu Chang a chance after the new year. Huang Qiong, who just picked up his pen and wanted to draft a handwriting, hesitated for a while, but gave up the idea temporarily. It's not that Liu Chang doesn't have this ability, it's just that in his opinion, at least for now, he lacks such overall talents around him.
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong decided to stay after the New Year and upgrade him to the first level. From the current rank of Zuo Zhongyun, he was promoted to the rank of Zuo Shuzi, the fifth rank, and he was given the title of Hanlin bachelor. When he reaches the fourth level, it will be more appropriate to be directly transferred to the prefect, so that his starting point will be higher in the future. This can be regarded as a disguised compensation, not to mention that Liu Chang himself has this ability.
Huang Qiong, who was a little tired after approving the papers for a day, was not in a hurry to return to the harem. Instead, he had a simple dinner in Wanchun Hall and then got up to take a bath. He was going to meet those two people tomorrow, and he had to think carefully about some things. Although the old man had completely left the matter to himself, he even sent someone to rush over eight hundred miles from the capital to deliver a large number of blank official titles.
But I still have to think carefully about how to seal these official positions. Tubo is now torn apart, with large tribes attacking each other. Nowadays, monks are becoming more and more powerful, and they already hold great power among many tribes. There is an obvious trend of establishing a political and religious regime. The tribes in the hinterland of Tubo actually no longer pose any threat to the Qi Dynasty.
The main problems now are the Qingtang tribes around Qinghai Lake and the Liugu tribe in the Hexi Corridor. Although these Tubo tribes have surrendered to Daqi, the place where they are nomadic is too important to Daqi Dynasty. An entire nomadic range covers almost the entire Hexi Corridor. Not only was the Silk Road threatened, but also Daqi's main military and horse producing areas were threatened.
A nomad around Qinghai Lake not only has a condescending advantage over Daqi geographically, but the area around Qinghai Lake is also the origin of excellent military horses. Tubo in these two parts is the biggest problem. Although it is far from being a personal problem, it cannot be allowed to develop and grow. However, blindly high-pressure will only make the Tubo tribes feel resentful, and it is very likely to be counterproductive.
At present, the Qi Dynasty is relatively stable, and these Tubo tribes dare not make trouble. But once trouble occurs within the imperial court, these Tubo tribes may not be as docile as they are now. Some time ago, when the Dangxiang people were in rebellion, both the Qingtang Tubo in Qinghai and the Liugu Tubo around the Qilian Mountains had some unstable factors, and some of them were even ready to move.
If he hadn't put down the rebellion of the party members with thunderous means, I'm afraid the whole Longyou would have been in chaos. Unlike the Dangxiang people who were confined to Ningxia Prefecture and were repeatedly divided by the court, even if they rebelled, it would be difficult for them to break out of Ningxia Prefecture. The Tubo tribes are superior to the Dangxiang tribes in terms of numbers and strength. If they also follow in the rebellion, the entire Longyou will be in danger.
Fortunately, the degree of discord among the Tubo tribes was even greater than that of the Dangxiang people. Although the Dangxiang people are not in harmony with each other, due to the division and use of the imperial court and the sinicization of more than a hundred years, the discord has turned into disharmony, but it has not yet reached the point of fighting each other. As for the Tubo tribes, because they were still in a completely nomadic state, and because they competed for pastures and slaves, the degree of internal fighting among them was far beyond what the Dangxiang people could compare with.
Therefore, Huang Qiong, who did not agree with blindly high-pressure, worked hard to promote this alliance. But it is impossible to truly tame these Tubo tribes by relying on Buddhism alone. The most important thing is that they are once again divided and disintegrated, preventing them from forming a unified internal force, which is enough to threaten the stability of the northwest. From this point of view, the tantric sects are a helper, but they are also opponents.
No matter which sect is, it cannot be allowed to form an absolute advantage in Tubo, whether it is the hinterland of Tubo or the Qingtang and Liugu Tubo. Otherwise, once the political and religious regime stabilizes, it will also be a threat to Longyou. Who said that those eminent monks can really realize that God has the virtue of a good life? How many people in this world can truly be extraordinary?
