Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1157 Queen
Luoyang.

Mangbojie Sunbo stood outside the hall and waited a little uneasy.

As the fugitive prince of the Subi Kingdom, his life was not easy these years. The Tibetans had been chasing him. He fled to Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and finally to Kucha, and then to the royal court of the Western Turkic Shekui Khan.Relying on the treasures of Subi that he brought with him when he escaped, She Kui agreed to protect him, and he stayed in the Western Regions ever since.

Although with She Kui Khan's protection, the Tubo people could no longer hunt him down, but in his heart, he never thought of revenge.

Revenge of the family, revenge of the country.

He wants to revive the neighboring country.

It's a pity that after getting his treasure, Shekui Khan only promised to protect his safety, but he was not willing to lend him troops to conquer the distant Tubo Kingdom.

After so many years, the prince is also old. Just when he thought he would never be able to return to his homeland in this life, the Qin army broke through Mount Sanmi, and even chased him all the way to Qianquan Xinhan Court in Shiguo.

Shekui Khan was defeated again and again, and finally moved westward with a small number of tribes. There was no news, and he was captured in Qianquan.

"Prince Sun Bo, Your Majesty calls you in." A servant from Qin interrupted his memory, and he hastily crossed his hands to salute.

When he entered the main hall and saw the extraordinary young emperor above him, he finally became excited again.The fire of revenge that had been suppressed for many years in his heart was rekindled. If She Kui Khan could not help him, the emperor could help him.

From the Western Regions to the Central Plains, along the way, he saw the strength of the Qin army.

Pass through the feudal lands of Yili princes, then go to the three counties of Anxi, then pass through the narrow and long Hexi Corridor, come to the middle of Longyou Pass, and then exit Tongguan and enter the Central Plains.

The places they passed were extremely powerful and prosperous.

The city here is tall and strong, the people here are numerous, and the army here is strong and brave.

Along the way, he had heard too many legends about the emperor.

"Mang Bojie Sun Bo pays homage to the Great Qin Emperor!"

The prince knelt down to worship the emperor.

Luo Cheng smiled and waved, "Prince, please rise up."

Su Pi, also known as Sun Bo, was one of the ancient Qiang people who believed in witches, ghosts and gods, and worshiped bia.

辱 is a sheep-like wild animal (wild argali), and 辝 is a ram. The Subi people call 辝 Nian, also known as Nian God, and call Nianqentanggula Mountain the "Da Nian God".

They also believe in the god Asura, who is the god of fields.

"I heard that Su Pi's real name is Sun Bo. He used to be one of the ancient states of the ancient Zhang Zhung alliance. Later, he broke away from Zhang Zhung and established his own tribal alliance. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the country is ruled by queens and queens."

The mother of Prince Sun Bo is the last queen.She was originally the little queen of Supi. Because the big queen fainted, the domestic nobles borrowed troops from Tubo to overthrow the big queen and make the little queen the big queen.

As a result, the queen who succeeded to the throne had improper employment, which led to greater civil strife, and finally Tubo took the opportunity to intervene again and annexed Subi directly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I, Subi, have a population of more than [-] households, mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, hunting, and also mining. I produce salt, iron, and jade. I sell salt to Tianzhu and make a lot of money. I also want to communicate with the Central Plains. Tubo is coveting the wealth of my Supi, destroying our country by force, and asking the Holy Son of Heaven, me to be the master of Supi, and help me to restore the country to Supi."

The civil strife in Tubo, this is a great opportunity for Su Pi to restore the country.

Of course, there must be the support of the Qin people. Without the support of the Qin army, it would not be easy to restore the country.

Luo Cheng looked at this Prince Sun Bo with a smile, and of course he wanted to use his status as a prince to find him. As for Su Pi's restoration of the country, different people have different positions and interests.

Daqin is of course happy to see Su Pi break away from Tubo again, but if possible, Daqin hopes that Su Pi, who has escaped from Tubo, will return to Daqin's arms.

The worst would be for Su Pi to become independent, followed by proclaiming himself a vassal to Da Qin, and the most ideal would be for Su Pi to directly become a Dao County directly under the jurisdiction of Da Qin, just like Tuyuhun.

However, Luo Cheng also knew that between Daqin and Supi, there were still two Qiang kingdoms, Duomi and Bailan, and Tuyuhun Qiang had not been wiped out yet, so it was unrealistic to say that Supi was directly under the direct jurisdiction at the moment.

Prince Su Pi has been in exile for many years, even if Qin Jun sent him back, it would only be a way for Qin Jun to intervene.

"I have heard that the prince is eager to restore the country. He has been in exile for many years, and he is also thinking about it. I am very moved. How can such an ancient Qiang country with such a long history as Supi allow Tubo to invade and annex it like this. I would like to uphold justice for the prince, but I don't know the prince. Are you willing to accept Daqin's help and canonization?"

Prince Supi's excitement was beyond words.

"Yes, yes, I am willing!"

The emperor said canonization, and Prince Sun Bo was also willing.

"If Su Pi can restore the country, the future generations will always regard the Great Qin Dynasty of the Central Plains as the suzerain state, and wish to be a vassal for generations to come."

Luo Cheng is very satisfied with this clever prince.

Proclaim the decree at the moment.

"Canonize Prince Sun Bo as the Great Qin Hussar General, Prince Qingtang, and King Supi!"

The prince was very excited.

Before Subi's demise, it had developed from a primitive tribe to a stage of slavery. There were more than 20 households, nearly [-] citizens, and a considerable number of slaves.

It can be said that its territory and population far surpassed that of Tubo before, but it died due to civil strife.

Subi also has another feature, that is, the country of women.

In Subi Kingdom, there are big and small queens, and the throne is held by the queen for life. After the queen dies, two virtuous women from the family of the deceased will be asked. One will be the queen and the other will be the little queen. They will jointly govern the country. The queen listens to the government every five days The little queen assists with management.

The queen's husband, named Jin Ju, doesn't know political affairs.In Supi language, Jinju means family, and the queen's husband has no right to deal with political affairs, but is only responsible for war or farming.

There are also noble ladies in the country who despise their husbands and are not sexually jealous. Even Su Pi has the custom of polyandry. Often brothers share wives, and the woman is the head of the family.

The middle school worships mountain gods, tree gods, and field gods.

After the nobles of Subi died, they had to peel off their skins, put gold scraps and flesh and bones in bottles and bury them. After a year, they would be buried with their skins in iron utensils.

Like the Tubo people, they also have the custom of ocher faces, both men and women paint their faces in color, and even change several colors in a day.

Luo Cheng knew that in the area of ​​Jinchuan, there was also a kingdom of Dongnu, which was also ruled by a queen, with similar customs.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a man, and I'm afraid he can't be the king according to the Subi customs."

Luo Cheng said, "The old Su Pi has already perished, and now it is up to you to create a new Su Pi country. The old Su Pi has passed away, and the era of the queen's reign has also passed. I believe that you are more suitable to be the new country." King Subi."

The prince still hesitated.

"Don't worry, I will send troops to escort you back to Subi to help you defeat the Tubo army and restore Subi's homeland. As long as you can remember the oath you made to me today, then the minister will protect your vassal state!"

The prince knelt down again.

"Xiaochen and Su Pi, never dare to betray Daqin! Dare not to betray a saint!"
