Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1142

Although the emperor replied to Luo Da'en's memorial that Liuqiu mango was just a fruit with no great use, so there was no need to send it to Luoyang.

But when Guanyin's maidservant cut one up and put it in front of the emperor, Luo Cheng was still very happy to eat it.

"It's so fragrant!"

"It's really delicious, not inferior to Lingnan's lychee and Cochin's longan."

"Bananas from Yunnan, sugar cane from Guangxi, and passion fruit are also good."

The emperor and Guanyin's servant stopped reading the memorial, and the young couple sat there and tasted the fruit leisurely.

"Your Majesty, can this mango be grown in Luoyang?"

"It shouldn't work. This is a tropical fruit. The weather here is not good. Just like oranges in the south of the Qinling Mountains are oranges, and in the north of the Qinling Mountains they are trifoliate oranges. This is true for many things, such as ginseng, but only in the north It is only produced in the area, while tea is mainly produced in the Qinling Mountains and south of it."

"That's a pity, the concubine is still thinking that His Majesty likes to eat this mango, so she planted a few trees in the palace."

"Haha, it's easy to eat. Fresh mangoes are not easy to eat. Why can they be made into mangoes? You can also make mangoes from sugar factories."

"After a few years, after the San Francisco in the south of the Yangtze River has been pacified, the army will also take down Liuqiu, and then build a palace on it. Occasionally, I can take you to live on the island."

The eldest grandson was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In September, the emperor issued an imperial edict.

If a man of the common people is 20 years old and has not married a wife, and a woman over 15 years old does not have a husband, the county government arranges an official matchmaker to match the marriage, and the government will engage and marry according to etiquette.If the family is poor and cannot marry by itself, the rich family and relatives in the same town will sponsor and send the relatives.

Widowers are 60 years old, widows are 50 years old, and widows who have children and can keep the chastity are not required.

On the tenth day of September, Li Xizhi, the left governor of Guangnan and the prefect of Jiaozhi, made a report saying that Li Youliang, a Changliu man, was arrested for conspiracy in the local area.The emperor handed over to Dali Temple for conviction and beheaded at the waist.The Ministry of Punishment passed the review, so it decreed that the law should be executed on the spot, cut in half, and there was no need to send him to the capital.

As for his family members, the emperor ordered Cheng Dingjiao, and his female family members were betrothed to unmarried villagers in the border areas as wives.

Later, Luo Cheng issued another edict, allowing the following children to take up official positions with their father and brother.

mid-September.

Xue Yantuo's envoys arrived in Luoyang, and they brought news of the great Khan Yi Shibo's critical illness. Yi Shibo asked the emperor to let his grandson Yi Nan return to Mobei to inherit the Khan throne, and at the same time asked the emperor to send troops to help Xue Yantuo fight against the Huihe rebellion.

"Why doesn't Zhenzhu Khan make his own son Khan, but his grandson Yinan?"

The emperor asked the envoy in the hall.

"I, Xue Yantuo, belong to the Tie Le branch. The tradition is that the youngest son keeps the business, which is different from the traditional Turkic brothers and sisters. In our Tie Le, the older son will divide the family after he grows up, and the father will give him cattle, sheep and slaves. , and then live separately. The father’s family business, when he is dying, will be handed over to his youngest son to inherit, including his concubine and so on.”

Every place has its own traditions. For example, the Han people pay attention to the patriarchal system of inheritance by the eldest son, while the Turkic people inherit the family business by the elders. If there is an adult son, the family business will be passed on to the son. Pass the family business on to the brothers.

But the people of Xue Yantuo are different. What they talk about is that the youngest son keeps the business, and the eldest son divides the family to develop.

"Yinan is the youngest son of the youngest son of the Great Khan. Yinan's father died in the war with the Turks two years ago. The Great Khan still decided to pass the position to the youngest son and hand it over to Yinan. In particular, Yinan is still the adopted son of His Majesty. , He has been in the Central Plains for several years, and he is also loyal to His Majesty. The Khan believes that if Yinan succeeds to the throne, the relationship between Xue Yantuo and Daqin will be more stable."

"Is it true that B's injury can't be cured? I have a good doctor and wonderful medicine."

The envoy shook his head.

"I only hope that His Majesty will allow Otoman to go back as soon as possible, and hope to see Da Khan for the last time."

Judging by his appearance, Yi Shibo is really dying.

After the war in Mayi in the early years, Yinan was adopted as a foster son by Luo Cheng. In fact, the sons of the Turkic Sibi Khan and the sons of Khitan and King Xi were also adopted as foster sons. They are more of a proton relationship. .

However, these years, the sons of these vassal princes have indeed performed very well, and Luo Cheng also trusts them very much. They have made great achievements repeatedly, and now they are all great generals of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The emperor sent someone to summon Yi Nan, who had been promoted to General Huya Lang.

Yinan enters the palace to meet the emperor.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father."

The tall Yi Nan stood there, and he couldn't even tell that he was a Mobei Tiele.His attire and his words are completely like a native of the Central Plains.

Wearing a beautiful silk armor face saint, tall and mighty, with an extraordinary bearing.

Where can I find out the appearance of the Mobei bearded boy when he became a adoptive father in Mayibailuo?

"Ah, there are people from Mobei. Your grandfather was injured when he conquered the Huihe rebels. He was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive. Your grandfather Zhenzhu Khan hopes that you can rush back to Mobei. He hopes that you will inherit Khan. bit."

Yinan has been in the Central Plains for many years, and now he mostly uses the Chinese name Luo Keyong bestowed by the emperor's adoptive father.

When he heard the news for the first time, he was stunned.

A few years ago, his father died in battle on the grassland. At that time, his grandfather also sent someone to take him back to Mobei. At that time, the emperor also agreed for him to go back, but in the end he didn't go back.

After leaving Mobei for many years, the memory of his hometown has been somewhat blurred, and he is used to everything here.

"Father, Ke Yong doesn't want to go back."

"Why?"

"Father is dead, grandfather is also dead, and there will be no relatives when we go back." Yi Nan's mother died long ago, and died of dystocia when giving birth to him, so Yi Nan was still considered an ominous person by the tribe at that time.Now if the grandfather is gone, then it would be meaningless to go back.

"Your grandfather wanted you to be the Great Khan, and I will make you the Great Khan of Xue Yantuo."

Yi Nan shook his head.

"I don't want to be Xue Yantuo's Khan, and I don't want to be Xue Yantuo's barbarian again. I just want to be Daqin's Luo Keyong. I was considered unlucky since I was born, and I have been in the Central Plains for several years. Even if I go back now, the tribe will not Someone convinced me. The Central Plains is very good, I am used to it here, and I don’t want to leave.”

"Are you reluctant to part with Princess Changsha of Princess Lanling's family?"

Princess Lanling is eldest sister Luo Cheng, the wife of the great general Zhou Dewei, and their daughter is only [-] years old now, and for some reason, Luo Keyong and Princess Changsha secretly like her.

Rock smiled softly, "It's not just because of Princess Changsha."

"Boy, don't rush to refuse. Go and see the people from the grassland family first, and then think about it."

Luo Cheng was a little surprised by this kid's choice, and it was really surprising that he refused to go back to be a profuse sweat so cleanly.

However, this kid's temper is becoming more and more popular with him.

"I'll give you another chance. Think about it carefully. I'll hear your answer in three days. Go!"
