Zhang Xuan took a step forward roughly, grabbed Zhuolma's hand, and dragged Zhuoma out.
Zhang Xuan mounted his horse and took Zhuoma with him, and galloped out of the city. Behind him, the Eighteen Iron Guards and hundreds of soldiers were closely guarding him.
In fear and despair, Dolan also ordered someone to lead the horse, mounted it and chased after him.
He knew that this daughter Dolma had always been bold, and today she had offended the emperor. If the emperor really blamed her, not only would she not be able to save her life, but the entire Dolan family would be in danger.
Zhang Xuan and Zhuoma galloped out of the Shenwu City Gate and ran up a high slope at the gate of the city.
Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, turned around and looked coldly at Zhuoma, who looked astonished, and said calmly, "You also come down, come with me!"
Zhuoma was confused, she didn¡¯t know what the Chinese emperor wanted to do.
Zhuoma also followed with a dark face.
Zhang Xuan raised her finger and pointed to the large army camp on the left side under the high slope with flags fluttering. "I have an invincible army. After I destroy Tubo, I will march to the Western Regions and cross the Congling Mountains to fight against the big cannibal." !¡±
"My country is powerful, and you and other barbarians from all directions can only find a way out by surrendering! Otherwise, whoever blocks my way, I can only kick away the stumbling blocks!"
Zhang Xuan¡¯s voice is impassioned, powerful and ambitious.
"Miss Zhuoma, what do you think?" Zhang Xuan turned back to look at Zhuoma and said calmly.
Zhuoma was silent, her eyes flickering.
She could not deny that the emperor's army was so powerful that it was beyond the ability of the Tubo people to contend with. With such an army, it was only natural for the emperor to conquer barbarians everywhere and open up new territories.
Of course, the reason why Tubo was destroyed so quickly at the hands of the Chinese emperor was related to the declining national power of Tubo. If it weren't for the continuous battles with Long Shuo and the civil war that consumed too much national power, Tubo might not have been destroyed like this.
By this time, Dolma finally understood. The destruction of Tubo by the emperor was not accidental but inevitable. Even if Tubo did not offend the Central Plains or initiate a war, this ambitious emperor would still use troops against Tibet.
?? Tubo has long been a plate of cakes on his desk. In Han Chinese terms, it has been coveted for a long time.
"Look over there again -" Zhang Xuan raised her finger and pointed to the grassland on the right side under the high slope.
There were tens of thousands of newly liberated slaves gathered there, and it was so dark that one could not see the side. He is being registered, waiting to be assigned land and pasture by Yang Lian's governor's office, and then start a new life.
"Look, there are countless slaves there waiting to be allocated land and pasture. At least 300,000 slaves and 200,000 civilians have obtained land, pasture and the courage to survive because of my arrival. Without me, they would People will be slaves from generation to generation, and their descendants will be endless.¡±
"Although I destroyed the Tubo King, I gave them new life!"
"Tubo is still Tubo, the land under your feet is still the same land, the pasture is still the same pasture, nothing has changed, but the life and destiny of the Tubo people are completely different!"
"Tell me, the slaves and civilians of Tubo, will they hate me? No, no, they have my favor, they are all my subjects, and I am their emperor!"
"On the other hand, those who hate me are all the Tubo men. Because I took away their privileges and property, they hate me." Zhang Xuan smiled coldly, "I would rather be scolded by a few people than be scolded by the majority. A way to survive. I want most Tubo people to understand that I came to Tubo not to invade, plunder, or rob Tibetan women and land, but to change and bestow."
"The land and pastures of the Tubo people still belong to the Tubo people, but they have to pay the same taxes as the Central Plains people. After a few decades, you will find that Tubo is destroyed, but the Tubo people live a good life!"
"Have you figured out all these things?"
Zhang Xuan shouted loudly.
Zhuoma remained silent.
"Since you still can't figure it out, then stay with me -" Zhang Xuan laughed heartily, "If I want to educate and conquer Tubo, I'll start with you, Miss Dolma!"
¡°Let¡¯s go, follow me to see the Tubo slaves!¡±
¡¡
¡¡
The slaves gathered in this area were basically the domestic slaves of the nobles of the Tubo royal court and the serfs farming and herding outside the city. The army of the Chinese dynasty was destroyedTibet, for these slaves living at the bottom, was insignificant at all; but then, the Chinese emperor issued an edict to liberate the slaves, not only giving them the status of civilians, but also giving them land and pasture.
From hell to heaven, a dreamlike life situation. This is the true feeling of most Tibetan slaves.
This kind of excitement and fulfillment, this new hope in life, is enough to offset the already very weak feeling of being a slave to a subjugated country. Therefore, although Yang Lian's troops were guarding the outside of the venue, the order inside was actually in good order.
The slaves have no hatred, only anticipation and excitement.
Some of the Tubo officials under the slave affairs were Dorang's hands, and Doran rushed into the horse, drinking, "Quiet, quiet! His Majesty the emperor arrived, all kneeled down, kneel down, and welcome His Majesty the emperor!"
The slaves all raised their heads and stared at the direction in which Zhang Xuan and his group were galloping. They knelt down silently and followed Duolang and others in shouting long live the whole group with great momentum.
Zhang Xuan jumped off the horse and went straight to the high platform in the camp. He walked up to the high platform, held the whip high in his hand, and shouted loudly to the crowds of Tibetan slaves in the audience, "From now on, you are no longer slaves, no longer pigs and dogs to be slaughtered and oppressed, but civilians." !My people!¡±
"I will give you land and pastures, and ban all excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Tubo nobles. Whether you are farming or grazing, you only need to pay 10% of the tax to the court, and the rest will be yours!"
"I hope you can have food to eat, clothing to wear, and live a good life with no worries about food and clothing"
"You must remember that I am destroying the Tubo royal family and noble men, and you will all be the masters of the land under your feet!"
Zhang Xuan waved the riding crop in his hand, and the atmosphere on the field was gradually aroused.
Countless unkempt Tibetan slaves knelt on the ground and cried with gratitude, and some even knelt on the ground hysterically and cried bitterly.
Zhuoma stood behind Zhang Xuan, amidst the earth-shattering cheers of the Tibetan slaves, her face was gloomy and her teeth were clenched.
Zhang Xuan glanced back at him and smiled lightly.
Next, for a whole day, Dolang's daughter Zhuoma followed Zhang Xuan like a puppet, inspecting the military camp outside the city, visiting slave gathering points, and finally was taken directly into the palace by the iron guards.
Dolan looked at the retreating figures of the emperor and his entourage with some anxiety, sighing and frowning.
His butler, Meng Cai, smiled and consoled him, "Master, don't worry, the young lady should be fine."
"Dolma is so bold that she has offended the Chinese Emperor. If she does anything wrong in the palace, she will die without a burial place Moreover, our Dolan family will also be unlucky." Dolan sighed.
"Master, don't worry. Miss spoke so wildly today, and the emperor didn't even kill her Master, think about it, if the emperor wanted to kill her, he would have killed her long ago. Do you still need to take her into the palace? Master, in the opinion of a slave, Miss Her beauty may have caught the emperor¡¯s eye.¡±
Meng Cai smiled and said, "I should congratulate the master in advance. If our lady becomes the emperor's concubine, the master's status will be more stable."
"You know nothing! Sir, I sent countless beauties to the palace, and there are even more beauties in the palace, but the emperor has not touched any of them. Just like Zhuoma, if you want to be favored by the emperor, Master, I really don¡¯t believe it.¡±
"Forget it, let it be your fate. Whether you die or live depends on God's arrangement."
Dolan stamped his feet fiercely and walked forward.
Zhuoma followed Zhang Xuan into the palace, of course not willingly. She also guessed that the emperor took a fancy to her and wanted her body. Zhuoma was mentally prepared to fight the emperor to the end, but unexpectedly after entering the palace, the emperor ignored her at all and handed her over to Tian Kexin directly.
Instruct Tian Kexin to keep an eye on this little wild horse from the Tibetan people.
However, Tian Kexin misunderstood and thought that the emperor was interested in this Tubo woman, but she was disobedient and wanted her to help train her.
Tian Kexin looked at Zhuoma with a smile, seeing that her back was straight and her expression was unruly and nervous, but her appearance was indeed beautiful and full of exotic style, especially the pigtails, which added to her infinite charm.
"Are you the Dolma of the Duolang family? Kexin has admired your name for a long time." Tian Kexin clasped her fists and said.
Seeing that she and Tian Kexin were alone in the inner room, Zhuoma slowly relaxed and said coldly, "I am Zhuoma. Are you the emperor's concubine?"
Tian Kexin laughed dumbly, "No, I am not His Majesty's concubine, I am His Majesty's female officer, the military advisor and general, and the military counselor."
"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk."
Zhuoma sat down generously and looked at Tian Kexin, with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
Although she had a vague hatred for the Han people who destroyed Tubo, it was a novel feeling for her that such a veiled woman was actually a female officer of the emperor and served as a general in the army.
Tian Kexin and Zhuoma were talking to each other, which gradually made this Tibetan girl, who was actually relatively simple-minded, relax her vigilance. To put it bluntly, if Zhuoma was really a woman with a heavy heart, how could she dare to be so "domineering" in front of Zhang Xuan.
"I have said so much, have you figured it out?" Tian Kexin smiled softly, "You have to think clearly. Although the emperor destroyed Tubo, most Tubo civilians and slaves did not feel the pain of subjugation."
"The reason is very simple. If Tubo is not destroyed, they will be in dire straits. But if Tubo is destroyed, they will have food, clothing, land, and pasture for cattle and sheep. Do you think they will choose their current life or be willing to return?" To the past?"
"Therefore, don't say that the Tibetan nobles will never make trouble again. Even if someone turns around and makes trouble, they will never get a response from the majority of Tibetan people."
"Your Majesty once said to me that once something is done that benefits the people, it can never be restored. The so-called wheel of history is rolling forward, and no one can stop it!"
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you this. In short, just remember one thing. The Tubo of the past is gone forever. You have to learn to adapt to the new life. You have offended the emperor and committed a serious crime. The emperor will tolerate it and will not care about it. , you should feel lucky!"
"If I were you, I would take a bath and change my clothes, and take the initiative to serve His Majesty. In this way, not only will you have a new beginning, but your father and your family will also gain the respect of Your Majesty." Tian Kexin's mouth showed a strange look. came with a smile and waved gently.
At this time, Tian Kexin felt like an old pimp, which was very funny. She is trying her best to lure a strong and rebellious Tibetan girl into the emperor's bed.
Zhuoma's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly and said coldly, "Don't even think about it! Zhuoma would rather die than be humiliated!"
Tian Kexin smiled calmly, "Miss Zhuoma is not afraid of death, and she is quite heroic. Kexin admires her very much. But I don't know if Miss Zhuoma has ever thought about it. It's easy for you to die, but what happens after you die?"
"Your father, your family, and hundreds of people from top to bottom will die because of you!"
Zhuoma¡¯s face turned pale and the corners of her mouth trembled.
Dolma is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Tubo girl who is not familiar with the world. In front of Tian Kexin, who is profound and eloquent, her mind is like that of a child.
Tian Kexin kept persuading, giving her a stick and giving her a sweet date to eat, coaxing and scaring her, finally messing up Dolma's mind.
In the end, even Zhuoma herself felt that if she did not surrender and was not possessed by the emperor, she would be the sinner of the entire Tubo and the Dolan family. She would kill her father and hundreds of family members, and she would even bring hundreds of thousands of Tibetan tribesmen to a dead end.
In short, Zhuoma was in a daze, as if being hypnotized, and was taken to bathe and change clothes by the maid beside Tian Kexin. Then, clean and fragrant, she hung her head honestly and followed Tian Kexin into the emperor's palace. Sleeping hall.
When Tian Kexin brought Zhuoma in, Zhang Xuan had just finished the banquet with Guo Ziyi, Yang Lian, Nan Jiyun and other generals. He was 70% to 80% drunk and was preparing to rest under the service of the palace maids.
"Chen Tian Kexin pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Tian Kexin knelt down and Zhuoma also knelt behind her silently.
Zhang Xuan glanced at Tian Kexin with drunken eyes and laughed loudly, "Tian Kexin?! You came to see me. What do you want to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have brought Miss Dolma here" Tian Kexin waved her hand and said, and the two maids who came over took Dolma over without saying anything.
Then, Tian Kexin quietly retreated.
"Uh, who are you?" Zhang Xuan slowly lay down, feeling drunk and unable to hold on any longer. The wine brewed by the Tubo people is still much stronger than the wine from the Central Plains. I only drank seven or eight cups and I became like this.
Before Zhuoma could speak, Zhang Xuan chuckled, grabbed her little hand and pulled her down on the bed, "Concubine Duan, I'm tired, I drank too much, come and give me a rub on my back!"
With that said, Zhang Xuan hugged Zhuoma¡¯s waist, and Zhuoma let out a gentle scream.
¡¡
¡¡
Zhang Xuan midnightI felt my mouth was dry, my tongue was dry, my head was splitting, so I opened my eyes and prepared to ask the palace maid to pour a glass of water. But as soon as he regained consciousness, he realized that there was a plump body in his arms, which seemed to be twisting slightly.
Zhang Xuan was startled and looked down. Under the dim candlelight, a wheat-colored face of a Tibetan girl appeared in his eyes. She had dark brown eyes and two lines of tears hanging on her beautiful cheeks.
Zhang Xuan was shocked and frightened.
His whole body shivered, and he was completely sleepless.
He didn¡¯t dare to move. He lay there, pinched the bridge of his nose, and couldn¡¯t help but secretly smile bitterly: Could it be that he had sex after being drunk? But why did Zhuoma come to his bed?
As soon as Zhang Xuan moved, Zhuoma, who was tightly held in his arms, woke up.
She was so excited that she sat up naked, clasped her hands on her chest, her eyes were complex and cold, even with a hint of hatred. She looked at Zhang Xuan and said tremblingly, "My father is still kneeling outside the palace"
Zhang Xuan was embarrassed and surprised. He also sat up, draped the brocade quilt in his arms around Zhuoma, and said softly, "Why are you here? Why is your father kneeling outside the palace?"
Zhuoma was shocked and her eyes became angry. She suddenly looked up at Zhang Xuan. If Tian Kexin hadn't been brainwashed so thoroughly yesterday, she might have yelled at Zhang Xuan for being shameless.
Where is such a man? What about the emperor? It was obvious that he had taken possession of his body regardless of his own will, and even issued an order to have his father wait outside the palace but he ended up being full, but he turned against him and refused to acknowledge anyone else!
Dolma wants to scold her.
Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he might have broken the film because he was too drunk. In other words, a long period of his memory last night disappeared due to the anesthetic effect of alcohol.
He sighed and smiled awkwardly, "I was drunk last night, so don't take offense if I offend you."
Zhuoma gritted her teeth, blushed, and lowered her head.
Zhang Xuan thought about lightning and slowly lay down again. He smiled and said, "You should also lie down and sleep for a while. Let's talk tomorrow!"
Dolma didn¡¯t move.
Zhang Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Lie down! This is my order!"
¡¡
¡¡
Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan stood up under the waiters of the palace maid, then sat aside and quietly looked at Dolma, who was hurriedly putting on a dress on her body, with slightly complicated eyes.
This is an accident, but accidents are just accidents. He is the emperor after all, a high-ranking emperor. Let alone one Tubo woman, even if he has dozens of women, it is normal and no one will think it is abnormal.
Zhuoma dressed neatly, lowered her head and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Xuan said calmly.
"Go back home." Zhuoma said two words with difficulty.
"Since you have followed me, your home is with me. Come here and announce the decree - canonize Zhuoma as the Tibetan concubine and accompany me. Canonize Duolang as the Marquis of Yongkang, and give Duolang's family 10,000 yuan. Hundreds of horses.¡±
Zhang Xuan stood up suddenly, strode over, grabbed Zhuoma's hand, "Stay in the palace, you can't go anywhere!"
