Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 783 The Princess Remarried
The summer in the paddock is as cold as spring has not yet left.

In the morning, there was even a bit of chill.

At dawn, Princess Yi'an woke up. She put on her Mongolian robe, combed her hair, and stepped out of the yurt to start milking.

As the princess of the grassland, Princess Yi'an is a woman in her 20s, a miserable woman in turbulent times.The daughter of a small landowner in the border area should have had a stable and prosperous life, but war and famine eventually destroyed her family.

She was robbed and snatched by warriors from all walks of life who couldn't tell who was a soldier and who was a bandit, and moved around, and was finally rescued by Emperor Shaotian's Guangfu Wangshi. Because she had read books and looked good, she entered the palace and became a female official.

Later, the emperor recruited people in the palace who voluntarily went to the grassland to make love, and she signed up.

It's not that she has any ambitions to be a Khan Ke Dun, wanting to be a prince's wife, but she has read the story of Zhaojun going out of the fortress and Princess Wencheng before, and knows that the emperor sent people to make peace with the grassland for the sake of stability in the north.She applied for the recruitment in order to repay the emperor's kindness.

If there is no emperor, maybe she has already become a handful of ashes by the roadside.

The emperor summoned her in person, chatted for a long time, and explained the situation to her. The strange Mongolian grassland, strange Mongolian customs, and even the traditional adoption marriage system of the Mongolians, etc., she may not be used to the yurts there, and the customs there. Diet, and even in the future, it will be difficult to accept the custom of being adopted by a concubine after the death of a husband.

The emperor asked her to think carefully, as long as she hesitated, she could change her mind. If she wanted to leave the palace, the emperor could also arrange for her to have a blind date with an officer in the imperial camp, or give her a settling allowance, and let her be free.

At that time, Yi'an firmly told the emperor that she was completely voluntary and had already considered it clearly.

She is willing to go to Mongolia to get married, and is willing to do her part for the emperor to appease the north, and she will do what she should do if she can adapt.

These words made the emperor a little surprised, but also very moved.

In the end, he adopted her as a righteous daughter, named her Princess Ngee'an, and married Teng Jisi, the leader of Sunite, to become Princess Sunite.

Princess Yi'an is now just like an ordinary herdsman woman. She came to the grassland not to be pampered and pampered as a princess, but to learn a little bit, from milking to picking up cow dung, fetching water and spinning wool, making milk tea and even riding a horse. Learn everything.

The sheep have slept all night and have accumulated a lot of milk. Princess Yi'an has been able to control the sheep very skillfully, and then milk them quickly.

The whole process does not look a bit rusty at all.

After milking the goats to milk the cows, milking the cows to milk the horses, and milking the horses to milk the camels, she led a group of women and was busy for half the morning.

On the prairie, as long as the mother animal is allowed to conceive immediately after giving birth, it can guarantee ten months of milk production a year, and after giving enough milk to the cubs, it can still squeeze a lot.

After milking, the sky just dawned.

Fresh milk is paired with a handful of golden fried rice, and a slightly salty breakfast can start a new day.

Yi'an intends to give the emperor's adoptive father a bowl of grassland authentic Wo** for breakfast. Wo** is the traditional handmade yogurt of grassland herdsmen.

Grassland people mainly eat milk and meat, and can use milk to make various delicacies.

Authentic Wo** is very particular about fresh milk that has just been squeezed out, paired with a special clay pot, and uses the simplest and traditional method to restore the original taste of milk.

After the milk barrel is filled, the milk must be pounded. For a can of nest milk, at least tens of thousands of times of pounding with a wooden pestle must be carried out in the barrel, and more fully fermented in the constant tumbling, and then matched with Mongolian milk. The unique temperature difference between day and night on the grassland, as long as one day and one night, when the lid is opened again, the milk will be full of milky yellow cream. Scoop the cream, and the remaining yogurt will be cooked at high temperature. It became that tempting bowl of nest egg.

Of course, if the yogurt water after separating the cream is added to the fresh milk and boiled dry, you can get a sweet and sour milk dregs, which can be dried to make milk dregs candy, or it is delicious to eat directly .

The nest is not boiled, it is a bit thick, milky and attractive, put some fried rice, add some sugar, sour and sweet, sour and sweet, and it has the crispness of fried rice and the mellowness of milk.

It can not only satisfy hunger and thirst, but also relieve greasy.

Princess Yi'an opened the milk bucket that was whipped yesterday, and the milk inside was already covered with a layer of cream.

She skilfully scooped up the cream, then boiled the fermented yogurt into a tempting nest egg, added fried rice and white sugar, and a bowl of warm and fragrant authentic nest egg was made.

Take the nest to the emperor's tent.

After repeated inspections by the guards, the young guards had more or less heard the story of this princess Ngee’an. The newspapers of the Ming Dynasty compared it with Zhaojun going out of the fortress and Wencheng entering Tibet. Everyone saluted her.

Come to the emperor's account.

The emperor had already gotten up and was looking at the memorial sent.

It was a bit cold in the morning, and there was a stove in the tent.

Da Mingzi canonized Anu, the princess of Oqiertu Chechen Khan of the Oirat Khanate Khanate, and this Moxi Mongolian Zhaoyi was making milk tea.

A piece of black tea brick from Hunan is knocked off, crushed in a stone mortar, then put into a Mongolian brass nest, boiled with dried cow dung, and then poured in the fresh milk that was boiled in the morning.

Dried cow dung was burning in the stove, emitting a scent of grass and trees.

As the temperature of the pot rises, the fresh milk and Anhua black tea that has been roasted and pressed by autoclaving are mixed and collided. With the stirring of Anu, the freshness and sweetness of the milk and the sweetness of Anhua black tea bricks create a wonderful fusion.

"Your Majesty, come to Wanwo** to fill your stomach first. This is made by my daughter."

Yi'an sent the still warm nest egg to the emperor. In the tray, besides the nest egg, there was also custard sugar.

Anu smiled and said, "Wow, is this made by the princess herself? It smells delicious and looks good, I really can't tell."

Yi An said, "The milk tea made by Zhaoyi is also delicious."

"That's good tea. This is Anhua's old tea. The longer the age, the more fragrant it is. This tea is a treasure. Ordinary tea bricks on the grassland are easy to buy a sheep for a catty, and a cow for ten catties. It can buy a BMW."

Zhu Yihai put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Princess Anyi, she had changed a lot.

It's a little darker, with two red cheeks, but it seems to be stronger again.

In fact, she had only been in the palace for a little over a year, and the two hadn't even had contact with each other a few times at that time.

"Sit down, I've been busy these days, I invited all of you women who married into the grassland to have a meal that day, but I didn't have a chance to chat with everyone.

are you OK? "

After listening to this simple sentence, is the princess okay? Suddenly her eyes became moist, her throat and hair became tight and her nose felt sour. She left the Central Plains, left the palace and came to the grassland. A rough man with a beard and a smell of cattle and sheep is also very unaccustomed.

She had experienced worse before, she remembered her mission, and was very polite and even gentle to Teng Jisi.

She changed into Mongolian women's clothes the next day and began to learn how to be a Mongolian woman. Although the emperor brought her a lot of dowry, including maids and wives, as well as various clothes and makeup, she was still trying to do as the Romans did. , She always behaved very well in front of people, and she couldn't lose Daming's face.

But secretly, in fact, how many nights I couldn't sleep at night, how many times I wet my pillow with tears, I just started eating the diet on the grassland, and sometimes I even vomited with nausea, but I gritted my teeth and persisted.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My daughter is fine and she is three months pregnant."

Zhu Yihai heard this and said, "This is a good thing, you need to pay attention to rest." Yi'an was pregnant with a child before, but he couldn't bear it. The war was in chaos, and people robbed him.

"Teng Jisi is dead, I will send you back to Beijing."

Unwilling to be placed under house arrest by the emperor, Teng Jisi and his brother Teng Ji Temi secretly tried to move their troops to the north because they were demoted to Hui Taiji and were deprived of their position as the leader of Sunit. The emperor immediately executed Teng Ji Si brothers.

He also executed some princes of Sunit, and the left-wing Huntai Jibatu, who was Tengji Sizi, was also executed.

Souse on the right was not involved and was not implicated.

Now the emperor regards Souse as the governor of the left wing, with the title of Nuoyan, and the prince of Jiajun, and his son Sha Xidai is the governor of the right wing, with the title of Nuoyan, and the title of duke.

Teng Jisi finally walked out of a road of no return, and also implicated his brother and nephew.

This also made Princess Yi'an a widow.

"According to the Mongolian customs, when a father dies, his wife will be followed by his stepmother, and if a brother dies, they will marry their own wives." The princess said calmly.

Zhu Yihai shook his head.

The Mongolian system of adoptive marriage has always been a tradition of grassland tribes. The heir of a family will inherit all the property of his father and eldest brother, including other concubines except his mother.

This kind of thing is strictly prohibited in the Central Plains.

After all, the Central Plains attaches great importance to etiquette and ethics, pays attention to the order of seniority and inferiority, and attaches importance to internal ethics.

On the prairie, women are actually regarded as family property, so when they enter the family, they are the property of the family. When the father dies, the son takes in all the other concubine mothers who are not his own mother.If the eldest brother dies, the brother inherits, and the brother inherits all the women of the elder brother.

This woman can no longer be a member of the family, and other foreigners who want to play tricks on this woman are absolutely not allowed.

Not only the grassland nomadic tribes, but also the fishing and hunting peoples in the Northeast, and even the Southwestern Yi people have this tradition. In the final analysis, they all regard women as the property of the clan.

When Mongolia established the Yuan Dynasty, conquered the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and ruled the Central Plains, it specifically stipulated that the Han people were not their own customs, and those who dared to accept their sisters-in-law and sons and concubine mothers would be punished.

This was also the case when Jurchen was outside the pass, but later when they captured Liaodong, Huang Taiji decreed that anyone who married a stepmother, uncle, aunt, brother or nephew would be forever forbidden.

But Dorgon married the wife of his nephew Hauge as usual, and there were many such things.

But the Han people are not allowed, this is an absolutely unacceptable thing.

"I can issue a decree to prohibit Mongolia from adopting the marriage system."

Yi'an said calmly, "Inheritance marriage system in Mongolia is an old custom with a history of hundreds of years. It is impossible to ban it if you say so. My daughter suggested that the emperor should not interfere with its custom. As for the daughter, since Sosai's son Sha Xidai inherited Sunit right wing, it is better to let Sha Xidai adopt his daughter to marry according to its tradition."

"Even if I don't prohibit the adoption of the marriage system in Mongolia, as long as you are willing, you can go back to Beijing. Whether it is to choose another husband-in-law or something else, it is all voluntary, and there is no need to feel wronged."

"My daughter has been here on the grassland for a long time, and she has gradually gotten used to it. She even thinks the grassland is beautiful and good. My daughter is willing to stay on the grassland."

Anu finished the milk tea and poured a cup for the emperor and Yi'an each.

"Your Majesty, the princess is right. Each ethnic group has its own customs and traditions. Why bother interfering? Since the princess is willing to marry Sha Xidai again, it is better to follow suit. Let Sha Xidai marry the princess and give him the title of consort captain. Isn't this more conducive to making Sunit loyal to the court and His Majesty?

Sunit has just had the incident of the Tengjisi brothers' rebellion, so he needs to be appeased. "

Zhu Yihai looked directly at Yi'an, "I still want to say, you don't need to wrong yourself."

"My daughter doesn't feel wronged, it's voluntary. I like the grassland, and I don't want to leave the grassland."

"Okay then, I will call Sha Xidai later, and you will meet me too."

The milk tea is very fragrant.

Wo** is very sweet.

The emperor looked at Princess Yi'an, but felt a little bitter in his heart.
