Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 814 The Inexplicably Involved Princess Linyi

"A Linyi princess? How is it possible?"

Qin Lang asked in surprise in Lingao Port, Yazhou, Hainan Island, a small fishing port.

"We are also very surprised, but we have verified this news from many captives. She is indeed Princess Linyi, the daughter of Fan Touli, king of Linyi, and her name is Isana." Zhang Chao said.

Niu Jianhu was stunned for a moment, "The surname of Wang Linyi is Fan, shouldn't his daughter also be surnamed Fan?"

Lingao is a small town, but it is very special. There are few Han people in Lingao, but there are many indigenous people, but they are not the most slang people on Hainan Island. They landed on Hainan Island almost at the same time as the Lingnan slang people. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a branch of the Luoyue people from Baiyue in the south of Lingnan came to the island across the sea, landed in Lingao and settled here.

After thousands of years, their ethnic group has gradually grown, becoming the second largest ethnic group on the island after the slang, and they still retain their unique dialects and customs.

When the Feng and Xian families landed heavily on Hainan Island and increased their control over the island, these Luoyue people still maintained a strong independence. They always occupied the control of the area west of Nandu River on Lingnan Island. .

Since the Han Dynasty, these Luoyue people belonged to the imperial court, registered as householders, and gradually merged with the immigrated Han people and slang people, but they always maintained a certain degree of independence.

These Luoyue people are bounded by the Nandu River and based in Lingao. They are good at picking pearls and fishing, but they have always lived a relatively poor life. It also became hot.

The life of Lingao people has improved, Tucheng has also grown, and there are more foreigners. Many spice merchants have come, and even Lingao, which was originally a fishing port, has become a slowly bustling commercial port.

For the arrival of the naval fleet led by Qin Lang, the Lingao people were not afraid at all, and even rushed to meet them on their own initiative. At first they thought it was a caravan, but after finding out that it was an army, they were not afraid at all.

Regarding the more than 100 Huren sea ships captured by the fleet, many bearded captives, and even some high-ranking tyrants even expressed their willingness to buy some.

The price is easy to talk about, and the popularity of spices and other things has made Lingao produce a lot of powerful Luoyue.

Qin Lang was playing with a piece of Hainan agarwood, which was a gift from a local tyrant in Lingao, "Fan Touli is just the Chinese name of King Linyi."

Linyi State is a dynasty established by the Zhan people. During the Han Dynasty, Linyi was subordinate to Rinan County of Jiaozhou in the Han Dynasty. Qulian, the son of Gongcao in Xianglin County, led thousands of people to kill the county magistrate and rebelled. As a result, the Han soldiers were afraid of the mutiny of the expedition, and before they could leave the army, Linyi rebelled from the Han Dynasty and went out to establish the country.

The district passed on the throne for three generations, and the grandson had no heir, so the throne fell to his grandson Fan Xiong.Fan Xiong and Chenla invaded the border of Sun Wu at that time and expanded northward.

Since then, Linyi Kingdom has experienced several dynastic changes, and by this time it has entered the fourth dynasty of Linyi. The current king, Fan Touli, is the grandson of the founding king, and his grandfather is Gaowuluduoluoba, a descendant of Fan Dizhen in the second dynasty. Mount, he replaced the third dynasty and established the fourth dynasty.

When Fan Touli's father, Fan Fanzhi, was in power, he angered the Sui Dynasty, causing the Sui Dynasty to send troops to conquer, break through the capital, plunder the golden statue of his ancestral temple, and return the land to Linyi and other three counties.Fan Fanzhi restored his land again, and sent envoys to apologize to the Sui Dynasty. After that, the tribute continued.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty was also unable to go south to conquer, and the three counties were established and abolished.

Since entering the Tang Dynasty, Fan Fanzhi also paid tribute several times. At the beginning of Zhenguan, his son Fan Touli succeeded to the throne. He also showed respect to the court and offered tributes such as white parrots.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, even Lingnan hadn't been settled yet, so naturally they didn't want to make trouble in Linyi further south. As long as Linyi didn't invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, the two sides would live in peace.

The two sides were bounded by the Guluo River at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they hadn't blushed for more than ten years.

"The main body of Linyi Kingdom is the Zhan people who believe in Mahayana Buddhism. Sanskrit is commonly used in the country. Fan Touli's Sanskrit name is Jiandavaba. They will change the names of gods and Buddhas like this, Varmo is the title of a king, and its original meaning is armor, and the title of Linyi King actually means the protection of Linyi Kingdom."

After King Linyi became king, he usually changed the name of an ancient god and Buddha, and then added the word Varman to the name.

Of course, because the Linyi kings of all dynasties had to pay tribute to the Central Plains, they would also give themselves another Han name. Except for the king's district company and descendants, all the kings of the four dynasties were surnamed Fan.

In the final analysis, Fan is the most precious, and it's not that they are members of the Fan clan.

Isana is the daughter of King Fan Touli, and she didn't come to the Central Plains, so she didn't have a Chinese name, and naturally she didn't have a surname Fan. In fact, Isana was only a Sanskrit transliteration.

"How did Princess Linyi get together with the Guangming Sect?"

"Sanlang, ask yourself, that princess is quite young and pretty! It's just a little dark!" Zhang Chao said wretchedly.

Princess Linyi is relatively petite, with a green veil covering her head and a veil on her face, covering half of her face, but the exposed eyebrows and eyes can still make people feel that she is a very beautiful woman.

Qin Lang was looking at the princess.

The princess is also looking at Qin Lang.

"What are you going to do with me?"

After a long time, the princess uttered a voice, which surprised Qin Lang. The princess actually spoke Chinese, which was quite good, but with some accents.

"You can speak Chinese?"

"There are teachers in the court who specialize in teaching Chinese characters."

Qin Lang smiled, "It's a bit unexpected and reasonable, but I don't understand why Lin Yi's princess is on the boat where the Guangming Sect ambushed me. Could it be that Lin Yiguo wants to provoke Datang?"

"No, Lin Yi didn't mean to provoke Datang, I was just doing it personally on the boat."

"Then I can't understand it even more. As far as I know, you seem to believe in Mahayana Buddhism. Guangming religion should be a heresy in your eyes, right?"

The princess sat across from Qin Lang, but she was very calm and composed, without any nervousness or fear.

"Can I have a cup of tea?"

"of course."

Qin Lang personally brewed a pot of cups and a pot of Longjing for the princess.

Brewing green tea is very simple, just boil a pot of water on a small charcoal stove, then heat the teacup, and then brew the tea.

He doesn't pay too much attention to it, and he doesn't ask for rootless water or famous spring water. Ordinary spring and well water can be used to make tea, even boiling water can be brewed directly.

The aroma of tea is overflowing.

The princess watched him making tea with great interest.

"Please!"

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Hangzhou West Lake Longjing, green tea."

The princess held the cup and smelled it lightly, with an intoxicated expression on her face, "It's different from the Chinese tea ceremony I learned in the court before. What I learned was sencha, and I used tea cakes. The sencha is very complicated and the taste is different."

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. I like this simple one. This tea is fried tea. It tastes delicious when brewed, and the taste is more pure."

Qin Lang pushed the plate of snacks in front of the princess again.

The princess is indeed hungry, but she is still very elegant when drinking tea and snacks. When eating, she gently lifts the veil, and she can vaguely see the shape of her mouth.

"Thank you."

"anything else?"

"No."

The atmosphere is obviously a little more relaxed.

"Actually, we believe in Brahmanism, not Mahayana Buddhism."

The princess told Qin Lang, "Brahmanism was spread from Tianzhu to Linyi, and it originated from Vedicism 3000 years ago.

Brahmanism worships the three major gods Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu, emphasizes the strict caste system, and talks about karma and reincarnation.

Brahmanism spread from the Indus River Basin all the way to the countries of the Indochina Peninsula. It had a great influence in Linyi, and Buddhism was introduced to Linyi almost at the same time, and there were many believers.

Brahmanism and Buddhism also began to produce some integration in Linyi.This is the same as when Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, it also merged with the Central Plains' religion, Confucianism, philosophy and other thoughts.

The Brahmanism that Zhan people believe in is not exactly the original Brahmanism. It can even be said that the Brahmanism and Mahayana Buddhism they believe in already have me in you and you in me.

Cham people who believe in Brahmans are also called Champa.

But in any case, Princess Linyi should not get involved with people from the Guangming religion. The Guangming religion is a branch of Manichaeism, and Manichaeism is a branch of Zoroastrianism, which is a combination of Judaism and Christianity.

The East and the West are two completely different religions that are mutually exclusive.

The princess began to tell Qin Lang a story, a rather long one.The beginning of the story is that the king of Linyi asked the prince to marry the princess of the powerful Chenla king in the south as his wife in order to stabilize his position...

The prince of Linyi back then has now become the king of Linyi, and the prince and princess of that year also had a daughter of Princess Linyi.

Now the king of Chenla sent someone to propose marriage, and wanted to marry Princess Linyi as his wife for the prince of Chenla.

The current King of Chenla is the elder brother of Queen Linyi. This is a marriage of close relatives, and the two countries have a tradition of marriage. It was originally a good thing.

"Prince Chenla is a pervert!"

"A cruel and vicious villain!"

Princess Linyi said that his cousin was bloodthirsty and murderous, very cruel and ruthless. He was a famous general in Chenla. He went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He led the Chenla army to destroy several small states and expanded Chenla In many territories, he was not the heir to the king, but with his military achievements, he forced the king to abolish his brother's right of inheritance.

"He once conquered the kingdom of Borneo, slaughtered tens of thousands of people, raped and murdered the princess, and even raped and killed the pregnant queen..."

That cousin, Moksheyishana, enslaved countless captives and built him a new city named after himself. As his own fiefdom, he led his army to break through one neighboring city-state after another. The population captives migrated here, and up to now, there have been more than 2 households.

And Yishana has an elite elephant army of as many as 5000 people.

"Not long after I was born, I was betrothed by my father to Prince Chenla, not this prince, but the eldest prince."

Qin Lang understood.

Princess Isana was originally engaged to the prince of Chenla since she was a child, but her second cousin Yishana took the position of heir apparent from her elder brother, and now she wants to rob her sister-in-law.

Since she was a child, Isana thought that she would marry her eldest cousin in the future. The first cousin was also elegant and handsome, while the second cousin was cruel and domineering. With a bald head, Isana is not willing to marry this monster at all.

Yishana now has his own royal fiefdom, has his own army, and is unparalleled in strength. He sent people to Linyi to marry the princess and return to Yishana City.

When the princess heard the news, she ran away in panic.

"It turns out that the princess didn't rebel from the scriptures and convert to the Guangming religion, but she just hid on their boat to escape?"

"Yes."

The Guangming Cult also spread in Linyi Kingdom. Linyi Kingdom once rejected the Guangming Cult and even banned it, but then the Eagle King sent assassins to put the dagger directly next to Linyi King's pillow. Later, Linyi King reached some agreements with the Guangming Cult. Allow them to spread in Linyi Kingdom.

The Guangming Sect brought not only the teachings of Manichaeism, but also more merchant ships and goods at sea, and gradually had a greater influence in Linyi.

The princess spent a lot of money to escape to the ship of the Illuminati Cult, and escaped the inspection to go to sea, but the princess did not expect that the merchant ship of the Illuminati Cult received an order from above after going out to sea, sailed northward, gathered many ships along the way, and finally ran to Datang came to fight.

"That naval battle was beautiful. Your warships are the best I have ever seen, and your soldiers are the bravest I have ever seen."

Looking at the princess, Qin Lang fell silent.

"Can I stay with you temporarily? I don't want to go back to Linyi, let alone be sent to the side of that demon Yishana!"
