Concubine

Chapter 318
It turned out that the last time Ming Chengzu issued a decree to seal Yun Tianqing as the Miao King, it was because the Miao family in Zhenyuan Prefecture refused to accept the kingly teachings and often raised troops to make troubles. Big, this caused Ming Chengzu a very headache, and has been worrying about how to recover the Miao people in these lofty mountains.

This time, after Yang Qiuchi came to Zhenyuan Prefecture, he turned his fighting with Yuntianqing into friendship. Yuntianqing was so grateful that he led Miao soldiers to help Yang Qiuchi smash the remaining Jianwen party.Ming Chengzu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately awarded Yun Tianqing the title of Miao King, and ordered the local garrison to assist Yun Tianqing in unifying the Miao people in Yuanzhou.

Zhenyuan prefecture has a radius of thousands of miles, and the Miao villages live scattered. Yuntianqing's Miao village is only the largest one, and the other Miao village owners only regard him as the leader out of courtesy.Yun Tianqing also had the idea of ​​unifying the Miao territory, but he did not have enough troops, coupled with the fact that his troops were unknown, and he was afraid that the court would think that he was going to rebel, so he did not take any action.

This time he got the title of King Miao, and with the cooperation of the regular troops of the Ming army, and the imperial decree of Ming Chengzu letting him take charge of the Miao villages in Zhenyuan Prefecture, he immediately called a gathering of all the Miao village owners in Zhenyuan Prefecture, and read out Ming Chengzu's message The imperial decree required all the Miao village masters to hand over all the commanding power of the Miao soldiers in their hands to Yun Tianqing himself for unified control, and he was also responsible for exercising the power of appointment of all Miao village masters in the future, and they had to perform corvee and pay taxes in accordance with the regulations.

Yun Tianqing took all the military power, personnel power, and financial power in the entire Miao territory of Zhenyuan Prefecture into his own hands, which of course aroused the dissatisfaction of other Miao village owners.Yun Tianqing took this as an opportunity, and with the assistance of the Ming army, raised troops to conquer and killed several Miao village owners who resisted the most. The other Miao village owners originally respected Yun Tianqing, and now they were appointed by the emperor , coupled with the threat of force, he obediently surrendered and handed over all his power.

Therefore, not long after Yang Qiuchi left, Yun Tianqing unified the entire Miao border of Zhenyuan Prefecture and became the real Miao king.

Ming Chengzu knew that the Miao family has always had a tradition of disobedience to the teachings of the king. All dynasties have raised troops against the king's division. The best way to educate the Miao people is to appease them.

Yun Tianqing unified the Miao territory and swore allegiance. All developments were in line with Ming Chengzu's wishes.However, he didn't believe in the oath. On the one hand, he rewarded Yun Tianqing and other people who had contributed to the peace of the Miao border to appease him. On the other hand, he asked Yun Tianqing to reduce the number of Miao soldiers on a large scale. Serve and assist in management.

In order to further win over Yun Tianqing and completely conquer this piece of Miao territory that resisted the teachings of kingship, Ming Chengzu thought of a favorite trick of the Han Dynasty: marriage.He took one of his most trusted ministers, a Hanlin scholar and Zuochunfang University scholar, a daughter born to a concubine of Hu Guang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, as a righteous daughter, and named her Princess Yongzhao, and married her to Yuntianqing's daughter. His son Yun Leng was his wife, and at the same time, he personally decided to let his third son Zhao Jianwang Zhu Gaosui accept Yun Tianqing's daughter Yun Lu as his side concubine.

Naturally, Yun Tianqing was flattered by this move. After the imperial decree arrived, he hurriedly planned to take Miao soldiers to escort his daughter Yunlu to Beijing to get married, and at the same time, marry the fake Princess Yongzhao back to Miao Village.

However, to Yun Tianqing's surprise, Yun Lu resisted the decree and refused to get married, hiding in the room and crying for several days, forcing Yun Tianqing and his wife to almost hang themselves.Under the begging and even death of her parents, Yunlu had no choice but to agree, but she made a request that she should see Yang Qiuchi before getting married.

Yun Tianqing didn't know his daughter's deep affection for Yang Qiuchi, his first love, so of course he fully agreed, so he made a detour to Bazhou, Sichuan.After arriving in Bazhou City, I found out that Yang Qiuchi and others had come to enjoy the cool air in Yinling Mountain, so I hurried to the foot of the mountain, and let the wedding party wait in the small village at the foot of the mountain. Yun Tianqing escorted Yunlu with his personal Miao soldiers After reaching the top of the mountain, Yunlu used folk songs to draw Yang Qiuchi out.

Yang Qiuchi was ignorant of the royal family and couldn't figure out the relationship. Now that he heard that Zhu Gaosui, king of Zhaojian, was actually the third son of the emperor Ming Chengzu, and Yunlu became the concubine of the emperor's own son, he felt a little bit lost.

The moonlight is so cold, and the stars are mottled on the ground.The field fell silent for a moment.

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi didn't speak after hearing the news, Yunlu looked at him quietly and said sadly: "Brother Qiu, I want to have a private word with you, okay?"

Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Song Qing and Song Yun'er.

Song Yun'er was the first to react, and said: "Master Yunzhai, no, King Yunmiao, I will take you to the nunnery and let the abbot arrange your residence."

Yun Tianqing cupped his hands gratefully: "Miss Lao Song." He gestured to Yun Leng and the others, and walked out of the bamboo forest.

Song Yun'er walked a few steps and found that Song Qing was still standing there, so she gave her a hand and said in a low voice, "Clay doll! Your master has something to say with Miss Yunlu, let's go back."

"But...but it's so late, the two of them are in the bamboo forest..." Song Qing's words were a little sour.

"What are they! If there is something to do, it's already been done! Don't worry." Song Yun'er raised her eyes to look at Yang Qiuchi, and raised her voice slightly: "My brother has a sense of proportion." She forced Song Qing out of the bamboo forest.

Nan Gongxiong and other personal guards also quickly dispersed to guard around the surrounding bamboo forest.

In the field, only Yang Qiuchi and Yunlu were left.

Yang Qiuchi looked at Yunlu and said softly, "Miss Yun, congratulations."

Yunlu walked up to him and looked at him, her face was as bright and clear under the moonlight as a bright moon.She didn't speak, just looked at Yang Qiuchi stupidly, a string of teardrops slowly rolled down, crystal like pearls.

Of course Yang Qiuchi knew why Yunlu came here by detour when she went to the capital to marry the prince, and of course she knew why she was crying, filled with guilt and pity, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly: "Miss Yun, yes Qiu Chi is sorry for you..."

Yunlu threw herself into Yang Qiuchi's arms, weeping heartily, feeling so wronged and heartbroken, she hit Yang Qiuchi's chest hard with her powder fist.

Yang Qiuchi gently put his arms around her waist, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

After a while, Yunlu slowly raised her tearful eyes, and asked, sobbing, "Brother Qiu, I just want to marry you, I don't want to marry anyone else... I don't want to marry anyone else..."

Yang Qiuchi forced a smile: "Don't be stupid, how can you resist the emperor's imperial decree, besides, being a prince's side concubine..."

"I don't want~!" Yunlu cried, "I have given you my embroidered insole, so I will also give you my heart! There will never be another man in my heart! Do you know..." Yunlu said loudly Crying, is so helpless.

Yang Qiuchi didn't know why he left such a deep imprint on the heart of this Miao girl, because he didn't know the significance of singing folk songs to confirm love and sending insoles for engagement to a Miao girl who had just started her love.However, now that he detoured from Yunlu to find him, he already knew how important he was to this Miao girl.

Yang Qiuchi was also very sad, and comforted softly: "Miss Yun, I'm really sorry, I...I didn't expect things to turn out like this...I'm sorry..."

Yunlu raised her tearful eyes and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to break free, for fear of hurting Yunlu's heart, but he didn't dare to respond, for fear of making her misunderstand, so he foolishly let Yunlu feel her cold red lips.Tears flowed quietly, salty, like clouds and dew in a sour heart.

After a while, Yunlu slowly left Yang Qiuchi, looked at him with beautiful eyes full of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qiu...you just...don't you want Yunmei?"

Feeling guilty and distressed, Yang Qiuchi hugged her tightly.Yun Lu responded happily, as if she wanted to remember every feeling Yang Qiuchi's body left on her.

Her crying made Yang Qiuchi wake up suddenly, grabbed her hand, and said firmly: "No! We can't do this!"

"Why?" Yunlu said sadly, "Brother Qiu, do you hate Yunmei so much?" Yunlu was crying, her body trembling slightly.

Yang Qiuchi hugged her tightly, and said softly: "Sister Yun, I have to think about you, you must marry the third prince innocently, otherwise, you will never even think about raising your head in the royal family for the rest of your life."

"I'm not afraid! I don't care!" Yunlu whimpered and shook her head.

But Yang Qiuchi couldn't ignore it, he knew that at this moment, any rational explanation would be useless, so he could only hug her tightly, preventing her from taking any chance to act.

Yunlu twisted her body in Yang Qiuchi's arms, and finally, snuggled into his arms and burst into tears.

The moonlight is as cold as washing...

Early the next morning, Yang Qiuchi and Yun Tianqing went down the mountain together.On the way, they all consciously left space for Yang Qiuchi and Yunlu to talk.

In order to divert her attention, Yang Qiuchi slowly accompanied her to watch the scenery along the way and told some small jokes, which made Yunlu feel better.

At noon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the team of Yuntianqing's welcoming and seeing off relatives was waiting in the small village at the foot of the mountain.Yang Qiuchi invited them to go to the city to rest for two days before leaving. Yun Tianqing said that because of the detour to Sichuan, the trip had been delayed and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he left.

Knowing that what he said was true, Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to wave goodbye.

Yun Tianqing's team walked forward slowly, Yunlu got on the horse, and kept looking back at Yang Qiuchi sadly, until the winding mountain road cut off her painful eyes.

Yang Qiuchi sighed, and was about to order to go back to the city, when he heard a folk song from the mountain where Yunlu and the others disappeared:

scattered

Thousands of waters and mountains as witnesses

The mountains and rivers will change as he changes

Changing Mountains, Waters, and Hearts

Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, ran a few steps, stood by the side of the road, looked up, and saw the winding mountain road, the cloud and dew had long since disappeared, only the mournful singing voice could be heard faintly:

I can't ask for brother today

I don't know what happened to my sister

Thinking about brothers and sisters wishing to die

Die also die in the Acacia River
Yang Qiuchi stood there stupidly, his heart was crushed into powder by the singing, floating in the air, floating freely.
