Chapter 304 Xi Rong
Yunxia, ​​who was shaking in the bamboo chair for a while, suddenly stopped shaking as if she remembered something.She stood up and called Xiu Zhu in.

She asked Xiuzhu to hold the lamp, while she opened the big box next to the bed, which was her big bookcase.

Yunxia searched for a while in the big bookcase, and finally found a book that recorded the introduction of Xirong Kingdom, and pulled it out.

Yunxia came to the table with the book, and Xiuzhu followed.

"Xiuzhu, put the lamp on the table, I want to read this book." Yunxia ordered Xiuzhu.

Xiu Zhu put the lamp in place in response, and dialed the wick to make the light brighter.

Yunxia sat down, opened the book and began to read carefully.

This reading took two hours.Yunxia barely moved, just sat where she was, reading with gusto.

After reading it, Yunxia finally fully understood the national conditions of Xirong Kingdom.

It turns out that the Xirong Kingdom was only a tiny country at first.The land area is small, and the land is barren, the products are not abundant, and the national strength is very weak.For a long time, he has been submitting to the dynasty, paying tribute every year, bowing his head and proclaiming himself a minister.

This dynasty also gave Xirong all-round help and support, treating it the same as the princes and vassal states, and the bilateral exchanges were smooth.

Later, Xirong also sent many children to study in the capital, and the grandfather of the current king of Xirong is one of them.

He came to the capital in the year of Zongjiao, and did not return to Xirong until after the weak crown.Soon after returning, he won a great victory in the political struggle of Xirong Kingdom and became the new King of Xirong.

This king of Xirong is ambitious and has studied in this dynasty for many years. He knows this dynasty very well, and has recruited many capable people by his side.

After he came to power, he not only vigorously developed Xirong's economy, but also strengthened his troops to practice martial arts and garrison troops for drills, which greatly improved Xirong's military strength.

Within a few years, Xirong was governed day by day, and its national strength increased greatly.Then he fought in the surrounding areas, annexed several neighboring small countries, and soon expanded the territory of Xirong several times.

As a result, the king of Xirong, who was dazzled by the victory, gradually developed a desire to dominate, and became more and more unwilling to be subordinate to others. He also coveted the rich products of his dynasty, and greedily wanted to dominate the country.

He secretly made preparations, and after seeing the right time, he unilaterally issued a statement that he would no longer belong to the dynasty, and embarked on the road of openly confronting the dynasty.

As soon as the statement came out, he put on his clothes and went into battle. He personally led the army of Xirong, marched eastward all the way, and directly entered the territory of the dynasty.

Because they were unprepared, the border guards were caught off guard.The Xirong army was victorious, their morale was high, and they pushed forward deeply into the dynasty in one go.

Wherever its army went, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

The urgent battle report was sent back to the capital. The emperor of this dynasty at that time was the grandfather of the current emperor.

This is a bloody man, he heard that Long Yan was furious, and immediately ordered troops in the court hall, held the commander's seal, and led the army to personally conquer the Xirong thieves.

The two armies fought head-on, and the powerful army of the dynasty beat the Xirong army hard and won a complete victory.

Only then did the Xirong people realize the gap between themselves and this dynasty, put away their arrogance, and begged for mercy.The king of Xirong even knelt in front of the emperor of this dynasty, confessed his guilt bitterly, and bowed his head again.

The emperor of this dynasty has always been benevolent, and in view of the good attitude of King Xirong in pleading guilty, he let him go and did not continue to pursue him.

The king of Xirong cleaned up the remnant soldiers and defeated generals in disgrace, and rolled back to Xirong obediently with the rest of his troops. Since then, he has been honest.

After his death, his son succeeded to the throne. He has always abided by the rules of the country and paid tribute to the dynasty on time. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries has been restored and the border has been peaceful for a long time.

But at the end of his tenure, the King of Xirong started to make trouble again, and after a few years of fighting on the border, he directly provoked the battle of Jingbian.

So there was another westward expedition by the late emperor. Although the Xirong people were defeated again, what is hated is that the late emperor was assassinated in the border town.

Before his death, the first emperor passed on the throne to his most beloved Seventh Brother, who fought with him in Xirong and was also in the border town.

The seventh prince helped the coffin back to the capital for thousands of miles, and made it clear to the people of the world that he was only taking the throne temporarily on behalf of the emperor's brother. When the posthumous son of the emperor's brother was born, he would hand over the throne to the son of the emperor's brother.

Because the first emperor was murdered by the Xirong people, all the people in this dynasty regarded the Xirong people as enemies, from the court officials to the Li people, and they were outraged and hated to the sky.

Although the king of Xirong killed the two Xirong people who killed the late emperor, as well as their relatives of the nine clans, and sincerely confessed his guilt to the dynasty, he still couldn't dispel everyone's hatred.

After the Seventh Prince ascended the throne hastily, he issued an Announcement for the People, saying that his new appointment to the throne is complex and complicated, and all government affairs need to be straightened out, so he has no time to take care of the Xirong people for the time being.And there is conclusive evidence that the king of Xirong did not participate in the murder of the late emperor, and actively assisted the criminals afterwards, punished the criminals severely, and compensated a large sum of money. I will never forgive Yunyun again...

Of course, after this announcement was made, many people were dissatisfied, especially the followers of the first emperor. They jointly wrote a letter admonishing that the Xirong people who have always been rebellious must be given a profound lesson, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not do so in the future. Repeat the same mistakes and become an enemy of this dynasty.

But the emperor and his cronies suppressed these voices of dissatisfaction. The prime minister at the time was a strong man, and quickly suppressed most of the dissatisfied people, and even arrested a few leaders and put them in prison.

Under the power, the number of dissatisfied people is significantly reduced at once, and it is no longer a climate.

At the same time, the old Xirong king suddenly moved to the current Xirong king.

The new king of Xirong immediately did several important things to befriend the dynasty, to prove that he will be loyal to the emperor in the future and be a subject of the dynasty in peace.At the same time, he also said that his father was very guilty of the murder of the first emperor, and he was newly succeeded to the throne, and he did not have any responsibility for it. In short, he completely shirked the guilt.

Various factors led to the shelving of this matter.

A few months later, the first emperor's empress gave birth, and this much-anticipated posthumous child was born.But unfortunately, he died at birth.

This became the greatest regret in the hearts of the late emperor's followers, and the seventh prince justifiably secured the throne.

On the side of Xirong Kingdom, the newly appointed King Xirong is the father of Concubine Hui.

After he came to power, he imitated his grandfather and painstakingly governed the country. At the same time, he focused on economy and military affairs, which indeed greatly improved the national strength of Xirong;

He even married with this dynasty's rectification, selected some of his nieces as concubines to the princes, and married his most beloved daughter to the emperor, becoming the current Concubine Hui.

This concubine Hui was as beautiful as a flower, and it was said that her mother was of the blood of the dynasty, so her appearance was only [-]% like that of the Xirong people, and [-]% like the people of the dynasty.And it is a coincidence that she is somewhat similar to the late emperor's empress.

The specific beauty of Concubine Hui is recorded in the book.It is described that she has cloudy black hair, horizontal emerald green eyebrows, smoky almond eyes, greasy goose fat nose, fresh pear cheeks, red lips like pearls, thick and slender figure, and she is a beautiful woman who will overwhelm the country and the city.

In addition, she is knowledgeable, gentle and pleasant, and soon won the favor of the emperor. It can be said that:

Famous and famous flowers are in love with each other, and the king often looks at them with a smile...

So far, the emperor has become more friendly to the Xirong people, and the rewards have become more and more generous. He even thought that Concubine Hui missed her hometown, and specially allowed her people to come to Beijing to visit her at any time.

Therefore, there are often Xirong nobles who come to the capital in the name of visiting Concubine Hui.They act like they're in no man's land.

Most of these unruly Xirong people today are members of Concubine Hui's tribe.
