Shu Blossoms

Chapter 543

Zheng Heng heard that the melody was a tune that the two of them learned from the musicians in the palace when they were young, and that the tune was composed after the musician reunited with his family.

He sat down alone to think about the meaning of the song, and after Yao Qier sent those people away, he came back and asked, "Brother Zheng, what shall we do next?"

After thinking about it, Zheng Heng replied: "Don't do anything else for the time being, wait for the opportunity."

"But what's the difference in the rhythm?" Seeing that he was so determined, Yao Qier asked curiously.

"That song is called Reunion. It was composed by A-mei." Zheng Heng said softly with a smile on his lips.

Yao Qi'er was young but precocious, and with just one sentence, he understood the meaning, nodded his head, and comforted him in turn, "Although this is different from our plan, the Princess has Mr. Xiao to protect her." Now, nothing will happen. Brother Zheng will be able to reunite with the princess soon."

Zheng Heng looked at Yao Qier with complicated eyes, as if admiring and something he couldn't understand, but he understood Zheng Heng's praise: "You are really a smart boy!"

Yao Qier smiled proudly.

In the past few days, Jiujiang City has temporarily fallen into a strange calm. It seems that the city has returned to its former prosperity, and the city gates have begun to walk together normally, but those who are interested still feel that it is different from the past.

At this time, in the Great Wei Palace thousands of miles away, Emperor Wei Tuoba Yu received a secret letter from a spy. He opened it and took a look. After thinking about it, he got up and walked out. The inner eunuch behind him was trotting. Followed behind, asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am tired and want to rest. Which empress should I go to rest, and I will inform the empress to prepare."

"No need, I'm going to the imperial concubine's palace to talk."

Tuoba Yu kept walking all the way to the Jiafu Palace where Concubine Wan lived.The inner eunuch who followed behind was already panting and sweating profusely.

He hastily took a few breaths, stood outside the Jiafu Hall and sang: "Your Majesty is here~"

He hurriedly chased after him.

Tuoba Yu walked halfway, the Princess Zhaoyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the noble concubine Wan, hastily greeted him, and after saluting, she followed him with a smile like a flower, and asked softly, "Why did your majesty come here suddenly, and there is no concubine?" Prepare!"

Tuoba Yu looked at her curiously, and said puzzledly, "What are you going to do? Ah Wan, come and sit down, I have something to tell you!"

As he spoke, he patted the softness on his side.

All the layouts of the Jiafu Hall were arranged according to the fashion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was very similar to the Princess Zhaoyang Mansion in Jiankang. Although Awan was as unfamiliar as that Princess Mansion, Tuoba Yu's thought made him feel ashamed. She was moved, and she had been pleased with Tuoba Yu for many years, how could she not be happy when her affection was reciprocated.

Concubine Wan shyly sat down beside Tuoba Yu, and saw Tuoba Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her.

The letter was written in Chinese from a distance, and Concubine Wan realized that Tuoba Yu really had something to say to her, so she quickly took the letter with both hands, sat upright and read it seriously.

"It says Zhou Diqian went south to Awei? Is she in danger?" Awan frowned, a little worried.

Tuoba Yu also had a serious face, and it took him a while to propose: "I know you have a way to find out the news, why don't you write and ask?"

Concubine Wan hesitated and said: "After all, Pingcheng is thousands of miles away from Jiankang, and time may have changed once we come back."

"You don't need to be so troublesome, as long as you send someone to Xiulizhuang to say, Concubine, you miss your sister and want to write a letter to ask her if she is okay. There are also some small things, how can I get them to her as soon as possible?" .”

Tuoba Yu proposed.

Concubine Wan hesitated for a moment but nodded and agreed, "Okay, my concubine will let Azhi to prepare immediately."

Soon Ah Zhi brought back the news that the people in Xiulizhuang said that there was a delivery convoy from the south the day before yesterday. They said that the owner left Beijing a few days ago and went south, as if he went to Hongdu County. If you want to bring things back, you still have to deliver them Go to Jiankang, and the people from Jiankang Xiulizhuang will find the opportunity to send them to Hongdu.

"So, Wei'er is no longer in Jiankang." Upon hearing the news, Concubine Wan 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 did not let go.

But she understands the young emperor's ambition better, and she will not stagnate in the slightest because of a woman.

Now that Da Zhou's own ruler and ministers are suspicious, with such a big flaw, it is impossible for Tuoba Yu to turn a blind eye.

After a long time, Concubine Wan made up her mind and got up to meet Tuoba Yu.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Concubine Wan looked at Tuoba Yu's increasingly resolute face.

"The imperial concubine has been married to the Great Wei for nearly a year. Thinking about it, she misses her relatives very much. I allow you to go back to your hometown to wake up your relatives!"

As soon as Tuoba Yu's words came out, Awan was stunned for a moment. He had never heard that the married princess and princess could go back to the hometown to visit relatives, unless the country was broken and sent away.

"This doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules!" A Wan didn't want to go back, especially since the situation in Da Zhou was extremely confusing at this time.

"That's the rules established by you Han people. We Xianbei people never care about these!"

Tuoba Yu didn't care about getting the Tao.

A Wan was speechless and unconvinced, and said boldly: "Your Majesty is not letting the courtiers learn Chinese and Chinese characters now. It is even letting several princes take girls from noble families. If the concubine returns to Da Zhou rashly, will it be okay?" Not good for His Majesty's reform."

Tuoba Yu was not angry, and waved his hands with a smile, "I asked the ministers to learn Chinese characters, change their Chinese names, and even take the women of the gentry, so that I, Xianbei, can stay in the Central Plains better, instead of being bound by these rules of the Han people. My hands and feet. Zheng Wei once said that those red tapes are very annoying, this is called taking the essence and discarding the dross!"

Awan knew that she could not change Tuoba Yu's mind, so although she was disappointed, she did not continue to argue, but lowered her head and lowered her eyes to agree, "Your Majesty is in a hurry, so I will go back and prepare."

A Wan didn't know that when she turned to leave, Tuoba Yu looked at her back with some regrets, what he thought of at this moment was the argument with Zheng Wei brothers and sisters in that small courtyard a few years ago, her words shocked him. Enlightenment.

It's been a long time since no one dared to debate with him so freely and freely, I really miss it!
Now the sinicization he implemented is only to be accepted by the powerful and powerful Han people. He always remembers that if the common people want to accept it, they have to make sure that the common people have clothes for cold, food for hunger, couch for sleeping, several rooms for them, and land for them. A few acres, the quilts are warm, there are grievances to sue, 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 remarkable now, he can feel that the people in Pingcheng are no longer as afraid of Xianbei as they were before!
If one day Zheng Wei can see this change, will he also be happy.

As soon as the imperial concubine Wei's letter of credence for returning home to visit relatives was sent out in Pingcheng, the concubine Wan's ceremonial convoy set off. Awan looked at Tuoba Yu who was dressed in a plain brocade robe and dressed as a Han gentleman, and was both happy and worried, "Your Majesty, you Accompanying my concubine to return to the country, if I miss the state affairs, it is the concubine's crime."

"No problem, I have made arrangements. Cui Xiang's prestige in the court is gradually increasing. If he discusses with several princes and generals, nothing will happen in the court."

Tuoba Yu leaned on the chariot and closed his eyes to rest.
