A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1200: Let's Part and Be Happy

Wu Huaiyu had wine, Gaochang grape wine paired with Khotan jade luminous cups, and Princess Zhenzhu Bijia had a story. The two of them drank wine and ate the barbecue buffet.

On this spring night, drink slowly and chat in front of the fire.

Outside the window, the stars are shining, the spring breeze is gentle, and the night is quiet.

The incense in the incense burner had long burned out, and the night breeze in the second half of the night brought gusts of cold.

Pijia's face was red, and it was hard to tell whether it was because of the intoxicating Gaochang wine or because he was too excited from chatting.

Wu Huaiyu remembered a passage: There are not many truths in the world, and a woman's blush is better than a long speech.
Zhenzhu Bijia took the initiative to stretch out a hand and press it on Wu Huaiyu's hand.

"I'm cold." The princess looked at him straight, passionately and boldly.

"I'll get you a blanket."

But the princess grabbed his hand and stopped him. "Are you really going to drink with me until dawn?"

Wu Huaiyu drank with him and chatted for half the night. They had a good chat and the two of them became much closer. It is undeniable that Princess Zhenzhu is quite charming. Not only is she young and beautiful, but she is also very frank and bold.

He's not drunk yet.
But it is already slightly smoked,
I have been in the Western Regions for almost a year. My wives and concubines are not around. It is okay when I am busy, but sometimes I feel lonely when I am free. After all, I am still young.

He was not completely short of people around him, there were also Hu girls, Han maids, etc.

"What a beautiful night tonight!"

"Well, the moon is so round."

······
There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches.

Sometimes, when the atmosphere and mood are right, some things happen naturally.

The next day,

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Pijia came out of Wu Huaiyu's room in broad daylight.

Then she asked someone to go to the King of Shule and move some of her belongings to Huaiyu.

At noon, Pei Shi, the king of Shule, came to ask for an audience with Wu Huaiyu. As Pijia had said, he did not mention a word about the fact that the queen had stayed at Huaiyu's place last night.
"After a night of careful consideration, the little prince has made up his mind and wants to stay in Shule and help the Tang Dynasty govern Shule.

The prince implores the Prime Minister to send the governor of Shule and the garrison commander of Shule to lead troops to Shule and take over the affairs of Shule..."

Pei Shi was still wearing his golden lion crown today, but Wu Huaiyu felt that the golden crown seemed to be dyed green.

As a king, he offered his wife to a harsh man and even started calling Wu Huaiyu "Sir" like other leaders. Wu Huaiyu suddenly felt that he was quite pitiful.

"The king knows the big picture and the righteousness,"

Since the King of Shule chose to lie down and surrender, the next thing would be simple.

At least a war was avoided, which was a good thing for the people in Shule. When Wu Huaiyu went to war, he would follow him back and personally lead the Tang army to enter Shule.

The two thousand soldiers of Shule and the Turkic soldiers led by Shule Tutun will be reorganized into the Shule military town.

When Peishi was about to leave, Viga appeared.

She changed into a Hanfu costume and her makeup.
Pei Shi had never seen this side of the queen, and was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please stay,"

In front of Wu Huaiyu, Pijia walked up to Pei Shi and said, "I want to ask His Majesty the King for something."

"What?" Pei Shi looked at him and secretly glanced at Wu Huaiyu.

"A letter of divorce, a letter of separation between the two parties," said Vijia coldly, showing no mercy to her husband, the king.

Pei Shi readily agreed, "Okay, I'll send it to you later."

"Write here. We have pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Pei Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xiangguo, please lend me some paper and pen."

Wu Huaiyu had no intention of trying to reconcile. They had just spent a romantic night together last night. It was really not a human thing for her to let Vijia return to the King of Shule who offered her to him.

He couldn't do that.

"Let's part ways and be happy on our own." Wu Huaiyu also looked down upon Pei Shi's hypocrisy and admired Pijia's free and easy attitude even more. He really broke up as soon as he said so.

"Since our hearts are different and it is difficult to reach a consensus, we will return to our original ways together with our relatives. I just hope that you can let go of your grudges and stop hating each other."

King Liuzhi looked at the expressionless Vijia, then at Wu Huaiyu. He felt hatred in his heart, but he dared not show it, so he had to pick up his pen and quickly write a divorce letter. The number of words in this divorce letter was not many, but the content was okay. It did not write about the marital discord, grudges, and hatreds. In short, it was about divorce.

He also said a few words of blessing to the princess.

After writing, he first pressed his handprint, then signed and stamped it. The princess also stamped her own small seal, signed and stamped it.

"Prime Minister Wu, please also sign your name on it as a witness." Princess Zhenzhu Bijia presented the divorce letter to Huaiyu.

Wu Huaiyu nodded to her and signed happily as a witness.

King Pei Shi of Shule stared at the completed letter of divorce in a daze for a while.

Although he offered his wife voluntarily, he wanted to please Wu Huaiyu and also wanted to use it as a token of his loyalty to the Turks and the Nishu Nanting clan.

But now the queen is really gone and will never come back. She has completely thrown herself into Wu Huaiyu's arms and is unwilling to waste a moment asking him to write a divorce letter.
My mood is still very complicated at this moment.

I have come to Suiye with great difficulty this time. I can say that many things have exceeded my expectations.

Not only did he fail to save Shule, he even lost his queen.
He only managed to keep the throne of Shule, but the military and political power were all under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the king was just a puppet.

But what could he do?

It is better to stay in Shule than to go directly to Chang'an. At least there is more hope. Maybe the situation will change in the future.

Back then, when Shule was annexed by Qiuci and the king was demoted to a noble, they endured it for a hundred years and finally found an opportunity to take back power.

Pei Shi left in a daze.

Ashina Pijia held the paper and the divorce letter, but was in a daze for a long time.

"Seven years of marriage," she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head.

Wu Huaiyu comforted her with a few words.

"I will go back to Qianquan Mountain soon. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again in the future." Pijia put away the divorce letter and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Wu Huaiyu was a little surprised, and even a little reluctant.

"Go back to the Qianquan Mountain Khan Court Tribe and relax."

The princess left as soon as she said she would.
Xiong Kuohai was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that she was too cold and heartless. They had just slept together last night, but he had been waiting outside all night and had heard clearly that they had played the Plum Blossom Three Times. Yet, she left today without saying anything. It was just like her divorce from the King of Shule.

Wu Huaiyu asked Xiong Kuohai not to talk nonsense.

In fact, he quite admired her straightforward nature. Most women couldn't be as free and easy as her.

the next morning,
Wu Huaiyu summoned all the generals and leaders to discuss matters.
The King of Shule was also invited to attend.

The matter to be discussed was simple. Before the Anxi army set out, the King of Shule had already taken the initiative to surrender.

For this reason, Wu Huaiyu decided to make some adjustments.
The Anxi Army only dispatched half of the original plan, 6,000 men.

The original number of foreign troops in the central route of the other tribes should also be reduced by half.

Among the Three Kingdoms that were conquered, Shule had the largest number of cities, population and troops. Now that Shule has surrendered, there is no need to send out so many troops.

"His Majesty the King of Shule is modest and willing to hand over the post of governor of Shule to someone more capable. Let's nominate a candidate for the governor."

"There will also be a Shule military garrison set up in Shule, with a tentative number of 5,000 soldiers. Please nominate the garrison commander."

It is said to be a nomination, and everyone knows their own limitations. It is just a process, and it still depends on Wu Huaiyu's arrangements.

After some discussion,

Finally, Wu Huaiyu proposed that Jiang Que, General of the Left Tunwei Army, Duke of Jincheng County, and Deputy Protector of Anxi, Jiang Xingben, be appointed as the Governor of Shule Military Governor's Office.

The post of the garrison commander of Shule was held by Cao Qin, the General of the Left Guard and the Duke of Yunzhong County, who commanded a Shule army of 5,000 soldiers.

This time, Wu Huaiyu brought 6,000 Anxi soldiers, 5,000 of whom would be Cao Qin's Shule troops who would stay there, and 1,000 would be Wu Huaiyu's personal soldiers.

These two people were in charge of the Shule Military Town respectively, which can be considered as high-ranking positions.

Jiang Xingben was the deputy governor, and also the third-rank general of the Left Tunwei, and the governor of Shule. Cao Qin, although a Sogdian Hu, was born in the Cao State in the Western Regions. During the Sui Dynasty, the father and son followed Xue Ju and his son, but later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and stayed in the Qin Palace. He not only participated in a series of battles against Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, etc., but also participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Cao Qin was still very brave and tough to defeat. As a Sogdian general born in the Western Regions, he was quite good at guarding Shule.

Wu Huaiyu's proposal was naturally supported and passed by everyone.
