The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 210 Princess Kucha
Liang Xin was stunned when she saw Princess Qiuci.

But the Princess Qiuci that Liang Xin saw was different.

According to Cao Ping's letter, Princess Qiuci who was married to Qingtang City had blond hair, blue eyes, and was extremely tall.

But who did Liang Xin see?

It was as if I had traveled to the world of Journey to the West and saw the king of the daughter country.

Black hair, eye color invisible.

That temperament and appearance are very much like the king of the daughter country.

And it’s still a Tang-style ceremony.

The team had already passed by, and the officials from the Ministry of Rites followed suit. Only Liang Xin stood still.

He was still thinking about the TV series.

The envoy from Qiuci understood Chinese. When he entered the banquet hall, he asked Chen Guan: "Shaoqing, is that young official's surname Liang?"

Chen Guan did not expect that the Kucha envoy would ask this question.

Chen Guan didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Kucha envoy continued: "I have a separate gift for him. Can you arrange a time for me to visit him?"

"tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Why does the Kucha envoy care about Liang Xin?

Chen Guan was full of this question at the banquet, and he couldn't figure it out.

In the evening, after the Kucha envoys checked into the guest house, the envoys, the little princess of Kucha, and several important people in Kucha.

The envoy from Qiuci said: "The Han merchants asked our caravan to convey a letter, inviting us to come to Bianjing. They also specifically stated that they would like to invite Her Royal Highness to come with them."

"I sent people to investigate some news. The Song Dynasty sent troops to fight against the Qing and Tang Dynasties, and there were two people leading the troops. One of them was named Cao. He was a noble person for seven generations in the Song Dynasty. He was extremely noble. To compare, in Qiuci and Wang It's also a flat seat. The other person's surname is Liang, a domestic servant, but he is the domestic servant of the Emperor of Song Dynasty, the most trusted domestic servant, and he is also a distinguished guest in our Qiuci."

Everyone nodded.

The identities of these two people are unusual.

House slaves also depend on whose house slave they are.

A close servant of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he was still a big shot in a small country.

The envoy from Qiuci continued: "The daughter of the Cao family married the son of the Liang family. It is very unusual that the two people who went out to lead the army are still the son and daughter of the family. The person who wrote the letter is the son of the Liang family. He is today You deliberately blended into the crowd and came to greet us, why?"

"Princess, is it you?"

An important Qiuci minister said at this time: "No, he just glanced at Her Highness the Princess. His eyes were thinking. If it is for the Princess, his eyes must not be separated from the Princess, instead of looking at her thoughts."

"Yes, I think so too."

The envoy from Qiuci said: "Understood. I'll ask Shaoqing Honglu of the Song Dynasty to introduce you to me. I'd like to invite Her Royal Highness to go with you."

Princess Kucha nodded in agreement.

What was Liang Xin thinking at this time?
It was definitely not Princess Kucha. He was just curious. He wrote a letter saying, please bring one of your princesses from Kucha to Bianjing, and the Song Dynasty will help you restore your country.

After the restoration of the country, Qiuci was not actually destroyed, but was suppressed by the Black Khan to surrender, pay tribute, and be controlled.

Kucha was truly destroyed when Donghei Khan surrendered to the Seljuq Dynasty after the demise of the Liao Kingdom, and then carried out a round of crazy destruction of Buddhas in Kucha. Kucha was truly destroyed.At the moment, all we can say is that the Qiuci Kingdom is still there despite losing its autonomy.

After returning home, Liang Xin got into the study and began to frantically read all the documents about Qiuci.

From the Han Dynasty to the present.

Gao Yongnian, who was staying at Liang Xin's house, came here. He was just curious, so he came to take a look.

Seeing Liang Xin flipping through documents and throwing them into books, leaning on a chair in a daze, Gao Yongnian asked: "Brother Xin, why do you care so much about Qiuci? I feel it's not just for trade routes."

Liang Xin replied: "Gao Chengzhi, Kucha is a meeting point. There are four major ancient civilizations in the world. In addition to us, there is also Rome, or Greek civilization, which is called Da Qin in our books. And the Persians, you can understand For being a cannibal. The last one, ancient Tianzhu, well, not the current Tianzhu."

Gao Yongnian asked doubtfully: "The current Tianzhu is not Tianzhu?"

"Taken away by the Turks."

"It's different from the Tang Dynasty. No, this is too far-fetched. I understand your intention, Brother Xin. Learn from the strengths of the world, make up for my shortcomings, promote my strengths, and appreciate the world."

When Gao Yongnian said this, Liang Xin immediately held Gao Yongnian's hand: "Gao Chengzhi, my confidant, you are my confidant."

This is what Liang Xin thought, using Qiuci as a window to show the beauty of our civilization.

At the same time, Taozhou.

Cao Ping was doing business when a civil servant accompanying the army suggested that the name Qingtang City was not good and that it should be renamed and the city expanded at the same time.As an important supply point on the westward Silk Road.

Zhang Shuye walked around outside the door a few times.

I have been asking Cao Ping's soldiers how Cao Ping is feeling now.

After asking several times, even Cao Ping in the house heard.

Cao Ping directly opened the door and looked at Zhang Shuye: "Zhang Zhizhou, if you think you are guilty, please submit a memorial yourself to plead guilty. If you have any weird ideas, why not go back and think more about whether it is feasible and whether it is beneficial to the country and the people. "

Zhang Shuye looked embarrassed.

Cao Ping, as for Cao Ping, returned to the house with a straight face and said: "Come in and pour some water yourself. The soil from Xixia is mixed with wolfberry. Drinking it in winter is very nourishing."

Zhang Shuye came in and closed the door.

"Your Majesty, there is something. After much thought, I still feel that I should tell you. It has nothing to do with the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Expedition, but only concerns the Prince."

After hearing this, Cao Ping immediately replied: "If there is something wrong with the order, if there is something wrong with the management of the border army, the border people, and the people, you can directly raise it. I know that Zhang Zhizhou has great experience in the management of the people, and Be respected by them.”

Zhang Shuye said: "About your uncle."

"Liang Xin?" Cao Ping was a little surprised.

Zhang Shuye said: "More than a month ago, almost two months ago, a caravan came to Bianjing City. This caravan was very large, including Cao's family, Liang's servants, and dozens of other people. Small businessmen merge into joint ventures."

"Sit down and speak slowly." Cao Ping wanted to hear what Zhang Shuye had to say.

What he was worried about in his heart was that this caravan had something against Song Lu.

Zhang Shuye did not sit down, but stood and said: "Their leader came to me because I had been to Bianjing and met Liang Jiedushi, so they came to me, hoping that I would find the Kucha merchants through the Tubo nobles. The kind of businessman who can deliver it to King Kucha."

"Continue." Cao Ping felt that this was not a small matter, so he personally poured a cup of ginseng tea for Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye took the ginseng tea and put it aside, then took out a few pieces of paper from his arms: "They wanted to send a letter, written in Chinese and Qiuci language, and they didn't hide it from me. They just didn't let me tell you the prince. I copied it. I ordered a portion. A few days ago, a caravan came from Qiuci, and I arranged for someone to escort them to Jingzhao. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have to let you, the prince, know about it."
