Chitose words

Han Changsheng had not yet reacted. Hearing Xie Zhao's words, he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

He had gotten used to getting along with Xie Zhao in the past two years. Smart people had to worry about everything, but he became less and less fond of using his brain.

Xie Zhao glanced at him helplessly, shook his head with a smile and said: "You already knew before that the queen of the middle palace of Hanyong Imperial Court in the Northern Dynasty, according to the ancient ancestral rites of the 36 tribes in the North, must come from the Yuwen tribe and the Achina tribe. He Hutuo tribe is one of the three top tribes in the Northern Dynasty."

Han Changsheng stared at her blankly, with clear stupidity shining in his eyes.

".Ah. What then?"

Xie Zhao smiled and replied: "In the Fenglan Dynasty of Western Xinjiang, the queen can only come from the Yada'an family, who is in charge of the sacrificial rituals in Western Xinjiang.

In the ancient mythology of the people of Western Xinjiang, Yadaan is believed to be the messenger of the gods.They feel that only a woman from this clan who becomes the mother of the country can bring water, vegetation and hope to the desert.

——Of course, I personally think that these are all nonsense. "

"I understand!" When Han Changsheng heard this, he immediately understood something!
He said "Ah" and looked at Xie Zhao with a face full of gossip, "So, did the then emperor of the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang have an affair with the female prime minister?"

Xie Zhao smiled and then answered calmly:

"The folk customs in Western Xinjiang are open, and Turjana Anna had been in love with the young emperor at that time in the early years. The two of them had already exchanged gifts with each other in private, but it was a pity that she entrusted someone to someone else, and the emperor finally planned to marry Yada An's family according to ancient rituals. The woman is the main wife.

Turjana is also a strange woman who has her own opinions and is determined not to become the emperor's concubine.

So she decisively left the emperor while she was pregnant.

And after the emperor's wedding, she completely cut off the relationship with him. Apart from the official affairs between the emperor and the prime minister, there was no personal relationship. Her son was also raised by her in the Turjia family until he was ten years old.

But who would have known that later, for some unknown reason, Queen Yadaan remained barren; not only that, but even the concubines in the harem, for some unknown reason, none of them had children. "

Ling You frowned and asked: "So, the emperor at that time took the child born to Turjana back to the Lan family?"

Xie Zhao nodded.

"Yes, ten years after the emperor's wedding, he finally put aside his old face and begged the female prime minister Turjana to bring his only heir back to the palace and raise him as his heir."

Han Changsheng was dumbfounded and asked in disbelief: "He is a cheap man who has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for ten years. Now that he is pregnant, he only thinks of asking for a child, and the female prime minister actually gives it to him?"

Xie Zhao sighed.

"It is rumored that the son of the female prime minister is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He has not inherited his mother's intelligence and has no future in studying or becoming an official.

If he stays in the Turjia clan, he may end up being reduced to the family's "shu reciter" in the future - the kind of young gentleman who enlightens the younger generations of the Turjia clan.

Turjia Anna may think that if the child returns to the palace and changes from the Turjia family to the Lan family, it is the best way out for him. "

Xie Zhao paused slightly when he said this.

Facts have proved that the female figure was indeed right.

The child didn't have much talent in reading, but he was very much like his father. He was born a Machiavellian who was good at playing tricks.

He may not be qualified as a scholar, but as an emperor, he is indeed very capable of balancing the power of the court.

Ling You had a cold look on his face when he heard this, and said word by word:

"This child is a wolf, and he can actually kill his biological mother who raised him."

Xie Zhao was slightly lost in thought and continued:

"According to historical records, in the third year after Turjana's death, the then emperor also died suddenly. There were rumors in the market of Fenglan in Western Xinjiang that the prince was used by the emperor to kill his biological mother, so he tolerated it Waiting for the right time to kill his father and ascend the throne.”

The three people raised their heads and looked at her.

Ling You frowned and asked, "Is that so?"

Xie Zhao shook his head and laughed: "Who knows. However, after all, this happened more than seventy years ago. The truth of what happened back then is mostly impossible to verify now."

Dynasties change, old and new alternate.

This country, this river and lake, is like a big wave washing away the sand, the old and the new are changing, and there is always no way to escape the replacement of the old with the new.

She smiled lonely.

“During the coup more than 70 years ago, the Turjia clan and the Binomen clan almost fell out. It is said that the two upper castes have never intermarryed again for more than 70 years.

During the King Yong's Rebellion in Western Xinjiang 25 years ago, the Binuomen family had long been loyal to King Yong, so they were on the wrong side. They were baptized again in the coup, and they became what they are today. "

Han Changsheng asked curiously: "The Rebellion of King Yong? What kind of allusion is this?"

Xie Zhao looked at him with a funny face.

"Han Changsheng, you are really trustworthy."

Han Changsheng grinned and said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle! The more we know, the more successful this trip will be!"

——You can’t be the only one who knows everything and yet not tell us, right? "

Xie Zhao thought about it and laughed:

"You're right. We've already reached this point, so luckily we can finish it in one breath."

She said: "This King Yong's name is Lan Weiji, and his mother's family is the Yada'an family, which ranks second among the nine high castes in the Fenglan Dynasty. He is also the only legitimate son of his father, the late Emperor Fenglan.

However, the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang was different from the Southern Dynasties, Northern Dynasties and Zhongzhou, and it did not pay much attention to the so-called distinction between descendants and concubines.

Here, the greatest power among high-caste families will eventually be handed over to the most skillful and capable descendants of the younger generation of the clan.

Because their intermarriage system is that the nine upper castes marry each other, so even if the children born to noble concubines, their mothers trace their origins to other upper castes.

Because of this, there was no big difference between the noble and the humble in the Fenglan Dynasty in Western Xinjiang.

Most of them usually don't call them wives or concubines, but first lady, second lady, etc. are all honorific titles.

Therefore, the older generation in Western Xinjiang believe that only the strongest leader among the younger generations can lead their clan to continue to grow stronger. "

When everyone heard this explanation, they were instantly enlightened.

Yup!

Only high-caste people in Western Xinjiang can intermarry with each other. That is to say, the wife, first lady, second wife, third wife, etc. who marry into a high-caste family, in the final analysis, are all of the same origin.

But it's just a matter of first come, first served, whoever goes in first and who goes in last, it's not like who is more noble.

Unlike the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the main wife was from a distinguished and innocent background, while most of the concubines were from poor backgrounds, so there was such a huge status difference between the concubines.
