Merton and Gao Shilian discussed again and worked out some methods to limit the overpower of each part of the grassland. An old fox and a little fox looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
"Young master, Lord Gao! Princess Guanghua has invited you to dinner tonight." tie an suddenly came in and reported some unexpected news to both of them.
"Guanghua princess!" Gao Shilian frowned and gave a meal.
Merton didn't notice Gao Shilian's abnormal appearance, but his eyebrows were locked. The purpose of Guanghua princess was naturally clear to them. It was obviously for Murong Shun's Tuyuhun throne.
If Murong Shun invited them, they probably wouldn't even pay attention, but the Guanghua princess, who has suffered all her life for the people of the Central Plains, naturally couldn't ignore them.
After pondering for a while, Gao Shilian nodded and said, "tell the messenger that I and mohou will arrive on time."
In the Hulun tribe, a huge felt tent was erected high. When night fell, the lights inside and outside the felt tent were bright and luxurious.
Although leader Hulun is the host, he is not even qualified to attend the banquet tonight. His only task is to lead Merton and Gao Shilian to the place of the banquet.
"Lord Gao, I'll be fine after 40 years of absence!" outside the banquet, Princess Guanghua, dressed in palace clothes, slowly got up and condescended to salute Gao Shilian.
"Forty years have passed, you and I are old!" Gao Shilian also sighed.
Merton suddenly opened his eyes. He never thought that Princess Guanghua and Gao Shilian knew each other. However, when Gao Shilian was in the Sui Dynasty, he was also a child of the Guanlong aristocratic family, and Princess Guanghua was a child of the imperial family in the Sui Dynasty. They were similar in age and had a great possibility of knowing each other.
Thinking of this, Merton couldn't help looking at Murong Shun aside. He was relieved to see Murong Shun's face with a little Hu blood.
Murong Shun was like a dog in the sun, but he forced it down with his forbearance and arched his hand at Merton in embarrassment.
Princess Guanghua looked at Merton and said with a gentle smile, "this is the second time Guanghua and mohou met. The first time is that Guanghua has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai. I didn't expect that such an amazing young man would appear in Chang'an City after 40 years."
"Princess Guanghua is flattered!" Morton said modestly.
"I'm not flattered at all! I saw a lot of young talents who were unrivalled in Chang'an City in those years. Unfortunately, most of them are mediocre now, more of them are poor in their lives, and their achievements are not as good as those of mohou at the moment." Princess Guanghua said Shuanglang.
Gao Shilian on one side suddenly turned red. I'm afraid there was also his figure in Princess Guanghua's arrogant young talent.
As soon as Princess Guanghua waved her hand, one by one Tuyuhun girls brought plates of rich grassland food to the four people.
"Please sit down. There are no outsiders today. This palace has been away from Chang'an for many years. Now it's very kind to hear your local accent." Princess Guanghua sighed.
Gao Shilian was silent and said, "now the brick road from Tuyuhun to Chang'an City has been repaired. If the princess wants to go back to Chang'an City, it is also very convenient. I Believe Her Highness Princess Yang will be very happy."
Concubine Yang is the biological mother of King Li Ke of Wu and a princess of the Sui Dynasty, but her generation is one generation lower than that of Princess Guanghua.
"I've heard a lot about the brick road and four-wheel carriage of marquis mo. unfortunately, if Marquis Mo had been born 40 years earlier, Yang Guang wouldn't have tossed such a big country." Princess Guanghua said.
Yang Guang's biggest complaint is the construction of the Grand Canal. If the brick road is born ahead of time, I'm afraid Yang Guang's human, material and financial resources used to build the Grand Canal will be more than enough to repair the brick roads in all counties of the Tang Dynasty.
As for why Princess Yang guangguanghua naturally talked about it, Merton and Gao Shilian had to remain silent.
"I can't go back, I can't go back any more." Princess Guanghua shook her head and sighed. Since the death of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an City has no place for him as a princess of the fallen country. Even if he goes back, it is just touching the scenery.
"Come on, you can drink a cup of Tuyuhun's special horse milk wine. Although it can't solve thousands of worries, it's also a different taste. The palace relies on this wine to sleep countless times at night." Princess Guanghua picked up the wine cup in front of her and drank it, which was very forthright.
Gao Shilian sighed and drank it without hesitation.
Merton had to try his best to accompany each other. From a few words, it can be found that Princess Guanghua must have been a forthright girl, not the image of the dignified Tuyuhun kedun who met for the first time.
Gao Shilian and Princess Guanghua drank one after another and talked about the black materials of young talents in Chang'an City, even Yang Guang's many embarrassing stories.
Gao Shilian was telling about the changes in Chang'an city. Princess Guanghua cooperated with a burst of sobs. The whole banquet could be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed each other until Princess Guanghua put down her glass and asked, "now you two are Tuyuhun's real people. My palace just wants to ask how Chang'an city plans to deal with our orphans and widows. Please give me a correct answer whether to kill or cut."
Gao Shilian's face sank and said, "for so many years, you still have such a temperament. Now Chang'an city's energy is in the flood in Shandong, and there is no time to take into account the Tuyuhun matter for the time being."
Princess Guanghua sneered: "you want to get enough wealth from me Tuyuhun to make up for the deficit of the imperial court. Your people in the Tang Dynasty are the people, but my people in Tuyuhun are not!"
Gao Shilian suddenly concluded.
Merton said in a deep voice: "I didn't force the people of Tuyuhun. On the contrary, the days of the people of Tuyuhun will certainly be better and better from now on."
Princess Guanghua waved her hand and said, "what Marquis Mo has done is in the eyes of the palace. Some cattle and sheep are not in the eyes of the palace. As long as the two shun'er inherit the throne, the palace can even take the initiative to cooperate with Marquis Mo and directly make up the remaining deficit."
Gao Shilian's face changed and said, "you are still attached to power. If you hadn't insisted on it at the beginning, how could you end up today."
Princess Guanghua was immediately silent and said for a long time: "Guanghua has not regretted the original choice! If I do it again, maybe I will choose it again."
Merton shouted in his heart, and the fire of gossip was burning.
"As long as Shuner inherits the throne, from then on, Datang and Tuyuhun will be friends forever, and will defend western Xinjiang for the Datang generation for generations. There will be no war between the two countries." Princess Guanghua said proudly.
"Please give me a hand and I will repay you in the future." Murong Shun got up and bowed to Gao Shilian and Merton.
Gao Shilian's face was green and silent. Merton looked at Princess Guanghua and Murong Shun and sighed: "can the princess listen to a word from Mo?"
Princess Guanghua solemnly nodded her head and said, "the great name of Mohism, Guanghua is also well-known. It's an honor for Guanghua to hear the good words of the great sages of Mohism."
Merton solemnly said, "in Mozi's secret book, there was a very interesting thing. Once there was a rich man who was stupid and ignorant. Once, when he went to another rich man's house, he saw a three story building, which was tall, big and magnificent. He was very envious. He immediately called the carpenter and said: you can build me a building like that.
So the carpenter began to measure the foundation, stack bricks and build a building. The rich man said, "I don't want the lower two floors, you can only build the top floor for me." the carpenter replied, "no such thing! How can anyone build a second floor without building the lowest floor? How can we talk about building a third floor without building a second floor?"
The stupid rich man stubbornly said, "I just don't want the next two floors. You must build the top floor for me!" when other people heard about it, they laughed at him and called it a castle in the air. "
"Castles in the air!" Gao Shilian couldn't help thinking. He looked at Murong Shun and shook his head.
Merton sighed: "the princess sacrificed a lot for the people all over the world. Mo said frankly. Although Prince Shun has an orthodox status, this is a barbarian place. It has no tribe and no tribe to take refuge in. It's like a pavilion in the air. It can't be built at all."
Princess Guanghua's face was blue with iron. After a long time, she said, "that's why the palace asked Datang for help. Even if Murong Shun only became king Tuyuhun for one day, his life will be worth it. After his death, only his son will inherit the throne. As long as the throne is in the hands of future generations, even the greatest sacrifice is worth it."
Murong Shun understood the meaning. His face changed and he nodded firmly. He endured it for 15 years. Now he is closest to that position. He won't give up even if he takes a big risk.
"You Yang family are a group of madmen!" Gao Shilian shouted.
