Chastity Layman

  Chapter 505 Marriage is impossible

  Qin Lang has many women of different races around him, and there are many of them.

Dongying, Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo, and Mohe in Haidong, Turkic, Tiel, Shiwei, Khitan, Xi, and Yu outside the Great Wall, as well as beauties from Western Regions and Tiannan, even Persia, Rome, There are also beauties in Qin Lang's backyard in Frankland.

But there are so many beauties, in fact, Qin Lang really took in only a few, Yu Xiao, Yu Xuanji, and the insect lady brought back from Lingnan, and Mrs. Anon who stayed there. Anna from Rome.

  More beauties are actually just serving as vases in the Qin Mansion. Most of these women are rewarded by the emperor.

  The emperor did not dare to resign, let alone give it away.

Among these women, Diana's status is the most honorable. She is the princess of Emperor Heraclius of Rome and the widow of Yehu Khan of the Western Turkic system. In the hands of Emperor Li Shimin.

   Li Shimin didn't even see it, so he rewarded Qin Lang with the beauty of the Western Regions who Tuyuhun paid tribute to.

  Qin Lang got this beauty, and only after getting acquainted with her did he realize that she had such a noble status, but at that time, this beauty had already been raised as a concubine after he adopted her.

  Princess Diana wandered to and fro in the Central Plains. She originally pinned her hopes on His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but in the end she was rewarded to Qin Lang by a mistake. I thought this Weiguo Guild was an old, perverted and ugly guy like Mo Hedu and Fu Yun, but he was very polite.

   He even spoke Turkic, which allowed the two to communicate. After getting along for a while, Princess Diana, who was wandering in a foreign country, had a relationship with Qin Lang and became Qin Lang's concubine formally.

   That night, she told Qin Lang her true identity, and also asked him to help her avenge her, hoping to help her contact her father who was far away in Rome.

  At the beginning, Emperor Heraclius contacted his elder brother Yehu, the Great Khan of the Western Turkic Khan, through Zabir Yehu, the leader of the Western Turkic Khazar tribe who nomads in the lower reaches of the Volga River, and formed an alliance by marriage. Among the 100,000 troops sent by Tong Yehu later, Zabir Yehu sent Brishe Gray Wolf to command 40,000 Khazars to conquer Persia.

Tong Yehu also sent his eldest son Dadu to go south with 60,000 people to attack Persia. Dadu set up a fierce attack and captured many places in Persia. .

After Tong Yehu was assassinated, Khasa Yehu Zabir and Tocharo Yehu Dadushe were dissatisfied with the rivalry between Mo Hedu and Si Yehu of the Khan court, and they directly established themselves as Khans in the fief, Jian Yehu Protect the country and break away from the Western Turkic Khan Court.

Siyehu Khan, who is now competing with Mohedu for the throne, is also the son of Tongyehu. He was originally a secret service. Mo He fought aggressively.

  Diana married Tong Yehu for three years, but none of Tong Yehu's uncles, brothers and sons cared about her. Mo He aggressively wanted to occupy her, Si Yehu didn't want to pay attention to her, and Zabiel didn't care.

  Diana can only save herself.

  The only person she can rely on now is Qin Lang.

  Qin Lang spent a few days talking with Diana about the history of wars between Eastern Rome and Persia, the history of Western Turks in recent years, and the current civil strife in Western Turks.

   "Do you want to go back to Constantinople?"

   "I want to, even in my dreams." Diana said excitedly.

   "Then you want to leave me?"

   "No." Diana's answer was unexpected.

  The princess wanted to go back to Constantinople, but said she would never go back. Her father Heraclius married her mother Eudocia the year she was crowned, and Diana was born the following year. But in the third year of marriage, she died of illness. Heraclius immediately remarried, but the woman he remarried was his niece Martina. This marriage was considered incestuous and unpopular.

Sixteen-year-old Diana was sent to the Western Turkic Court as a marriage tool, and it was precisely because of her stepmother's idea. This woman was extremely vicious and wanted to drive out the two children born to the emperor's ex-wife. The eldest son, Constantine III, and Diana were both extremely vicious.

   He only wanted his son Heraclius II to inherit the empire.

  The sixteen-year-old Diana was expelled from Constantinople, went to the remote and mysterious east, and married a sturdy barbarian Khan.

  Diana believed in Constantinople, but she didn't like her father, and even more hated her stepmother. She knew she couldn't go back. Even if Qin Lang helped her return to Constantinople, that vicious stepmother would definitely instigate her father to let her marry another Turkic Khan according to Turkic customs.

In fact, she had heard from Mohedu that her father, Emperor Heraclius, had indeed sent envoys to ask for permission from Tongyehu's son Siyehu Khan after Tongyehu was killed. Turkic tradition adopted Diana as Ketun.

   It was only because Diana fell into the hands of Mo Hedu that this matter could not be accomplished.

   It is said that the emperor even planned to remarry her to Zabiel Yehu of the Khazar Yehu Kingdom.

  They only see marriage and politics, but they don't have this daughter at all.

  From the time she left Constantinople five years ago, she knew she couldn't go back.

  The only one who will welcome her back is her brother Constantine III, but his brother is also in danger.

The Tang Dynasty and Rome are separated by tens of thousands of miles, and there are Turkic barriers in between. Now that the Turkic civil strife is present, Mohe Duo and Si Yehu are fighting for the position of Great Khan. Satisfied, he directly called himself Tocharian Khan. Zabeel also called himself the Khazar Khan directly to the west.

  So now, there are actually four khans from the Western Turks. In the center, the Wunushibi tribe in the right wing supports Mohedu, while the Wudulu tribe in the east wing supports Siyehu. The two are separated from east to west. But the distant Tocharian and Khazar tribes, both of which are separate and self-reliant, are in a mess.

In addition, the Tie Le people are also under the leadership of Qibi Ge Leng at this time, and they tend to break away from self-reliance, although Lao Ge Leng did not directly take advantage of the situation to make the East Turks turn against him like the guy from the Xue Yantuo family in the east. Self-reliance can also make the water in the Western Regions more muddy.

  The forces of all parties have their own ghosts, even the Ten Headquarters of the Western Turks are actually very chaotic. Originally, the two brothers Shekui and Tongyehu managed to work hard to reunify the Western Turkic tribes, united Tiele, Huoluo, united Rome, and suppressed Persia. One hundred thousand, can go east to compete with the Eastern Turks for who is the king of the Turks.

  But who would have expected that it would be so prosperous and then decline, and now it is in such a mess.

  However, Qin Lang felt that, in essence, the Turkic system was not enough. Whether it's Datou or Shekui, or the pioneer secret room of Western Turks, when they are strong, although they are indeed strong, they can only be strong for a while.

  The problem is that their basic system is not good. They don't have the centralization of power like the Central Plains Dynasty, and they can only rely on the strong to control the ministries by personal prestige. But as long as this strong man falls, the nature of the Turkic tribal alliance will be exposed, especially the shortcomings in the inheritance system, which will make the Ashina family fight endlessly.

  The first battle for Khan position will turn the Turks from prosperity to chaos and decline.

  Just like the current Western Turks, when Yehu was ruled, all the ministries were unified, controlling hundreds of thousands of strings, even Rome had to send princesses to marry them, and Persia was paid tribute by them. But now, there are four khans, and the renunciation of the Tiele people.

  The powerful Western Turks are actually divided into five parts, so how can it become stronger.

  The countries in the Western Regions that were previously controlled by the Western Turks now have their own plans, and it is difficult to give orders.

   Now the result, all the khans, big and small, are vying to send envoys to Chang'an to propose to the Tang emperor, hoping to ally with the Tang Dynasty and defeat other people.

   "You are my woman, so I will naturally avenge you. If you dare to bully my Qin Lang's woman, you will seek death." Qin Lang smiled and pinched Diana's chin.

  Men mean what they say.

  The next day when Chengqian came to Sanyuan again, Qin Lang and Chengqian talked about the Western Turkic marriage while fishing.

  After talking about the brief history of the Western Turks, Qin Lang drew a simple map of the Western Regions on the ground with a branch.

"This is Tianzhu, this is Persia, this is Rome, and here used to be Yanda. Before Tong Yehu died, he formed an alliance with Rome and sent his eldest son Dadushe and his brother Tongshi to command 60,000 troops to conquer Persia in the south, forcing Persia to ask for help. After the payment of tribute, Yehu Khan was appointed as Yehu, and Tocharian Yehu Kingdom was established. From then on, he ruled the area between Tianzhu and Persia, and actually ruled the twenty-seven countries of Tocharian size. "

"In addition, in the north of Persia and Rome, this is where the Huns, Rouran, and some Tiele people migrated westward to nomadic herds after retreating from the northern part of the Central Plains in the early years, and then some Western Turkic people moved westward to live here with them. On the grasslands, and accepted the command of the nobles sent by the Western Turks, they gradually called themselves Turks. When Tong Yehu’s elder brother Shekui Khan was in power, he sent his brother Zabir to lead the Khazar tribes. Later Tong Yehu's alliance with Rome was still the intermediary role played by him. After he led 40,000 Khazars and Rome to attack Persia and won a big victory, Tong Yehu also granted Zabiel Yehu. Now, after Tong Yehu's death , Zabir also called himself Khan."

  Twigs draw a line, and simply outline a few strokes to form a mountain range.

"This is the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions. Here is the Jinshan Mountain. Beyond the Jinshan Mountain is the Mobei Grassland. Now Tongyehu's son, Siyehu, and Tongyehu's uncle, Mo Heduo, occupy the east and west. Internal strife continues."

   "This is the Yili River Valley between the two khans, and the Atami between the two tribes. It is the pasture of the Chibi tribe of Tiele."

   "Now the four khans have sent envoys to Chang'an, and they all want to ask His Majesty to marry the princess and marry him, so as to use the banner of my Tang Dynasty to defeat other khans. How do you think we should respond?"

  Chengqian didn't even think about it, "At the beginning of the father's succession to the throne, he established a system. If you don't make peace with your relatives, don't pay tribute, don't accept vassalage, and don't cut off the land. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies. It is impossible to get married."

  Qin Lang couldn't help but nodded in praise, "Your Highness hasn't forgotten these, the teacher is very pleased."

   "The imperial court should refute their marriage proposal, and ask them to stop fighting and guard their borders, and stop attacking each other." Chengqian suggested.

  Qin Lang shook his head.

   "This is far from enough. This way of dealing with it won't do me any good. Your Highness, why don't you think about other strategies?"
