Chapter 367 Changes

Beiliao was originally just a grassland tribe. During the long development, they have been living according to the customs of nomads.

After dominating the grasslands, Beiliao dominated the north, eyeing Chen Guo covetously.

Even in the later period of the Chen Kingdom, the envoys were still personable, and their speech and behavior made the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty feel ashamed.

Just like Liu Bang in another world, at first he felt that being an emperor was meaningless, but after his subordinates compiled a set of etiquette for emperors and ministers, the emperor's sense of dignity and superiority emerged spontaneously.

what!So it's so cool to be an emperor?

After seeing the temperament of the courtiers in the Central Plains, the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty also felt that what he did as an emperor was meaningless like Liu Bang.As soon as the heart moved, he acted, and then the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty carried out activities to learn the culture of Chen Guo with great fanfare.

At the beginning, the courtiers under his command still felt awkward, saying that we won the world by riding and shooting, why should we learn the sour etiquette of Chen Guo?
Such remarks had the upper hand at the time, but the emperor at that time loved the culture and etiquette of the Central Plains and forced to promote it.

So one by one, they started to learn etiquette, to speak, to walk, to match clothes...

Many people have never understood that many years later, before his death, the emperor said: "My greatest achievement in this life is not to be an emperor, but to continue the state of Daliao for 300 years."

The prince was puzzled, thinking that his father was confused before he died.

The emperor took his hand and said: "You have to remember that it is right to rely on bows and horses to conquer the country, but it is not the case to sit on the country."

The prince was surprised, "Why?"

"The stability of a country never relies on swords and guns. The supremacy of swords and guns will only fuel the ambitions of those courtiers... Whoever has a powerful army in his hands is the emperor.

But etiquette is different. Looking at Chen Guo, he has experienced the danger of overthrowing the country for many years, but every time he turned the danger to safety, why do I think it is? "

"Destiny!"

"There is no destiny. Look at the set of rules in the Chen Kingdom. Morality and etiquette frame everyone. The monarch and his ministers, the emperor is the sky, and the ministers and the people of the world must regard the emperor as a god. As time goes by, this idea has been deeply rooted." people's hearts.

When the country is about to collapse, those courtiers, those common people will stand by the emperor's side and protect their gods... They take it for granted, and if they don't do it, it's treason, understand? "

The prince suddenly realized, "It turns out that the most important thing in etiquette is to let everyone know their position."

The emperor died with a smile.

Continuing to the present, there is actually not much difference between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Datang Dynasty. If the rules of the emperor and ministers, cultural preferences, and uniforms are unified, it will be difficult for you to distinguish who is from the Datang Dynasty and who is from the Beiliao Dynasty.

This is the case for Changling, who wears a long skirt, and the hair shape and headgear are different from those of the noble ladies in Chang'an.But the powder on the face is roughly the same.

"Li Xuan."

"Princess."

Chang Ling asked, "Are you in a hurry for this shipment?"

Wang Laoer and the old thief stood beside the last carriage, Wang Laoer whispered: "What does she mean?"

"Look at those watery eyes, what do you mean? She is in a hurry." The old thief praised: "Mr. Lang is indeed the most capable man among us."

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Urgent and urgent, neither urgent nor urgent."

"Why do you say that?"

"Money is something outside of the body, just to make ends meet."

Money is something outside of the body... Changling's eyes once again flashed with brilliance.

"We seem to need to buy some dry food?" Chang Ling asked reservedly.

The guard remembered that he had just bought a lot of dry food, and said against his will: "I need to buy some dry food."

A few carts of jerky is nothing to a team of more than a thousand people.

When settling accounts, Yang Xuan insisted that the cost price should be increased.

"The original price includes the cost of traveling to Ningxing, let's reduce it by [-]%!"

Changling had no interest in this kind of business, but after hearing this, he couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

The female officer also muttered, "He's a gentleman."

After selling the jerky, Yang Xuan cupped his hands, "Thank you princess, I will have to go back later, at least I will bring some back to Ningxing."

Wang Laoer asked: "Old thief, shouldn't we follow?"

The old thief lazily said: "This is called playing hard to get, second child, you and your own wife will have to play this kind of tricks in the future, understand?"

Changling glanced at the female officer.

The female officer has already been instructed, and said with a straight face: "If that's the case, you can go with me."

Yang Xuan was stunned, "Accompanying?"

Then they joined the team.

"Consort!"

Chen Qiu watched the whole process, and the attendant said dissatisfiedly: "The princess is a little frivolous!"

Chen Qiu said indifferently: "The most learned etiquette in the Central Plains of the Liao Dynasty is the rules, but those who set the rules will not put frames on their heads and use the rules to embarrass themselves."

Rules have always been a tool used by the superiors to control the world.

"The rules of Daliao are for people outside the royal family. How many things have happened to people in the royal family over the years..." Chen Qiu's eyes were slightly cold.

The imperial family of the Tang Dynasty was not clean, and the royal family of the Daliao Dynasty was not much better.Although there is no emperor who climbs ashes, it is obvious to all that the private life of the royal family is chaotic.

The attendant said in grief and indignation: "Could it be that the son-in-law is just..."

Chen Qiu smiled, "Look at those sons-in-law and princesses in Daliao, except for a few people, they are all playing their own games."

You play your game, I play mine, everyone does not interfere with each other, and they can even pimp each other.

Chen Qiu staggered to the back, the two accompanying maids winked and got into the car immediately.

The cart shook slowly.

"They're all women, who doesn't sleep?" Chen Qiu in the car said with emotion.

He stopped suddenly and knocked on the car wall a few times.

The entourage outside the carriage stepped forward, "My son-in-law."

"Tell our people, after the businessman leaves the convoy...um!"

"The villain knows, after killing him, just dig a hole and bury it."

"No, throw it in the cesspit."

"Yes!"

Yang Xuan was left by Changling's side.

No, it's by the carriage.

But the curtain was drawn.

Chang Ling was sitting on the side, with half of his body and a face exposed in Yang Xuan's sight, turning his head to look at him from time to time.

"What advice do you have for poetry and prose?"

"Poetry is the voice of the heart, it comes naturally."

In the afternoon, everyone moved into the city.

The three of Yang Xuan live next door to the princess' residence.

After dinner, Yang Xuan looked at Tu Chang.

"no one."

The old thief felt relieved, "Mr. Lang, when shall we do it?"

Tu Chang said: "If we fight here, the Northern Liao army will follow and kill us. Where can we escape?"

Facing the pursuit of a thousand Liao troops, Tu Chang had to kneel.

"The most important thing is to find out about their itinerary." Yang Xuan concluded.

"Tomorrow!" Tu Chang said, "Try it tomorrow."

The old thief said: "Your Majesty, be careful."

"I know."

Yang Xuan was going to sleep.

Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door, and Wang Lao Er happily went to open the door. Seeing a female official outside the door, he said, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

This……

Yang Xuan got up and came over with a smile.

"The princess wants to go out for a walk and let you accompany her."

The female officer glanced at Yang Xuan.

What does this mean?
Later, Yang Xuan saw Changling in plain clothes outside his residence.

and several guards.

Fortunately, there are guards!

"The night is fine." Changling looked at the moonlight.

"Yes! Moonlight is like water." Yang Xuan said in a deep baritone voice.

"Sir, you are so talented, why don't you become an official?"

Changling turned sideways with his hands behind his back, looking at Yang Xuan charmingly.

It's late at night, when you are a married woman asking me out for a stroll, you still ask me about my career, what do you mean?
Yang Xuan smiled slightly, "I thought about passing the imperial examinations, but looking at the appearance of those scholars after they became officials, I felt like quitting."

"Why?" Chang Ling took a step forward.

"Officialdom is good in every way, but there is one bad thing..."

Yang Xuan noticed that Changling was very rude to his son-in-law Chen Qiu, as if he was calling out to a dog he raised.

Such a woman is arrogant and uninhibited. If she doesn't like you, it's just a matter of killing her casually.

On the contrary, if you are pleasing to the eye, you will be what you say.

I have to take the risk...Yang Xuan sighed: "An Neng's eyebrows and waist are bent to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy."

He stood with his hands behind his back.

Changling also stood with his hands behind his back.

He was half a head taller than Changling, overlooking Changling slightly.

Changling raised his head slightly, looking up at this gentleman.

"Sir... a great talent!"

Changling has been completely destroyed by these two sentences.

An Neng smashes his eyebrows and bends his waist to serve the rich and powerful, which makes me unhappy.

It is a good sentence to come out casually.

And the momentum is like a rainbow, full of contempt and disdain for the powerful.

aloof.

"gentlemen!"

Changling opened his mouth slightly, his eyes were like water.

"I still have to go on my way tomorrow, princess, let's go back!" Yang Xuan took a step back.

Several guards and a female officer were quite surprised.

Others have such an opportunity, it would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to show their kindness to the princess.But this Li Xuan was neither humble nor overbearing, and took the initiative to distance himself.

"Gentleman!" The female officer praised again.

Changling blushed slightly, "This trip is just for fun, it can be fast or slow, long or short."

This is not definitive.

Yang Xuan smiled and pointed to the sky, "Princess, look at that!"

Changling looked up, but he was looking at him.

"The bright moon is looming above the colorful clouds, and the colorful clouds are floating, which makes people think infinitely."

Changling said casually, "Do you have poems, sir?"

"There are two sentences."

Changling looked sideways, "Caiyun!"

"At that time, the moon was there, Zeng Zhaocai returned."

Changling approached him quietly, looked at his handsome face, and thought of these two lines of poetry, he became infatuated for a while.

"At that time, the moon was there, Zeng Zhaocai returned."

That night, Changling could not sleep.

Turning over and over is Yang Xuan's face, and those few poems.

Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door.

"Princess, my son-in-law asks to see you."

Changling turned over, "I'm asleep."

"The son-in-law insists."

Changling sneered, "Change."

Several maids came in to dress her.

After a while, Chen Qiu came in.

He waved his hand.

Nobody moved.

Everyone looked at Changling.

"I just received a letter from home." Chen Qiu said coldly, "So that Princess Chen can learn that the Chen family has been wronged."

Chang Ling was startled, and said calmly: "Chen's violation of the law is so hard to prove, who can reverse the case?"

Her eyes turned cold suddenly, "Lin Ya!"

He Lianfeng just found a dog, who would dare to snatch it?
Only Lin Ya and others!

Chen Qiu sneered, "Princess treats me like a dog these days, how is it today?"

Changling's hand moved, and he didn't know when the whip was in his hand.

Snapped!
"what!"

Chen Qiu covered his face, and slowly let go of his hand, the welt marks on his face gradually swelled up.

Changling wanted to swing the whip, but Chen Qiu grabbed the whip.He raised the whip and wanted to draw it several times, but finally held back.

"roll!"

Changling pointed to the door, "From today onwards, you are no longer my son-in-law."

Lin Ya's dog is naturally not qualified to be her son-in-law.

Chen Qiu smiled, "I really want to reconcile with you, but Princess Daliao has never had such a precedent. So, in the future, you will find your fun, and I will find my fun. If you want to raise a dog, Then raise a few more, and then write a poem praising the friendship between you and the dog, Princess Daliao and the dog... Hahahaha! Humans and animals! Hahahaha!"

The door closed, and the laughter faded away.

Chang Ling sat on the edge of the couch, his complexion changing ever-changingly.

The sound of horseshoes came suddenly.

"Is the princess here?"

The voice outside was a little anxious.

The guard replied: "Yes, but is there any news about Ning Xing?"

"Princess!"

The sound outside was soft.

The female officer glanced at Changling, and Changling nodded.

"Come in."

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and a servant appeared outside.

In Ningxing City, the servants in the imperial palace often come out to handle errands, so it is not surprising to see them.

But here is the frontier.

The appearance of a servant in the frontier represents the emperor.

The servant took a look at Changling, showing some pity.

This hurt Chang Ling's eyes, she said coldly: "But Mrs. Chen became Lin Ya's dog?"

The servant was stunned, "The princess actually knows?"

Changling sighed, "Chen Qiu had already got the news earlier. Go back and tell Aye that I am fine, but Lin Ya and others deliver the news faster than the palace, so be vigilant about this."

The servant's complexion changed dramatically.

The female officer bowed her head.

She knew that the servant was finished.

The loss of one of the emperor's loyal dogs was a heavy blow.At this time, how should the emperor vent his anger?
There is no doubt that people around you are the best choice.

The so-called accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, except that the emperor's mind is difficult to figure out, that is what it means.

The servant showed a begging look on his face, and wanted to ask Changling to intercede, but soon realized that this was wishful thinking.

He smiled and said, "Yes."

Many times, after fate is doomed, you don't want to fight, because the gods above your head don't take your fate seriously at all.

The turn of your fortune is but a small emotion of the gods.

If you accept your fate, then the disaster will not hurt your family.

If you fight, the whole family will suffer bad luck.

The servant said: "Your Majesty has said, let the princess return."

Now that Mrs. Chen has become someone else's dog, it will become a joke if he continues to patrol.

Chang Ling nodded, "Understood."

After the servant left, the female officer said sadly: "Princess, poor princess!"

The son-in-law has changed from licking the dog to an opponent, and the two cannot be separated.

Changling became a joke.

That night, Changling slept in a daze, always dreaming.

Waking up in the early morning, she asked habitually, "Where's the son-in-law?"

Along the way, every morning, Chen Qiu would appear outside the door, flattering her and saying something that disgusted her.

"Princess..." The female officer looked at her sadly.

"Oh! I see." Chang Ling remembered that Chen Qiu had changed from his own dog to Lin Ya's.

But why do you feel a little lost?

The lick dog is gone.

No one licks it anymore.

My heart is out of balance.

She walked to the window and watched Yang Xuan and the others loading the car.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Yang Xuan raised his head and looked over.

Four eyes facing each other.

Yang Xuan smiled slightly.

Turning his eyes, Changling saw Chen Qiu who was walking towards Yang Xuan with a group of followers, grinning grinningly.
