Chapter 222: A past

Pei Yue did not stay in Nanlan City for too long. As the surrounding situation stabilized, he set off with some of the Northern Army to return. General Ji Hao, commander of the Northern Fifth Army, commanded 80,000 troops to station in Nanlan City, while calming down the surrounding situation.
This time the northern army's expedition basically came to an end, and the Turbi people had been completely destroyed. The rich cities of the southern part of its territory became the territory of Da Zhou. In the future, how to set up counties and counties and arrange officials needs to be discussed by the court.
The vast land in the west is divided up by many clans such as the Xuelie tribe. How to get along with these clans peacefully is also a problem for local officials in the future.
Pei Yi led his army southward, while also escorting the spirit girl's Fengya.
The weather was getting colder, and Ling Ling's car drove all the way south and arrived at Antu.
To future generations, all this is simply incredible.
Once the two sides came back, in just a few months, the ceremony of marrying the spirit girl was completed.
Compared with the protracted negotiations between the 13 princesses and the pro-Northern dynasty, it makes people cry more efficiently.
"Is this the Antu?" Qin Nuo Zema walked in the street market and looked around with interest.
It is about the size of a small northern city, and the structure of the entire city is like the Panluo City where he lived for a few days.
After months of governance, today's Antu has restored basic order, and most of the damaged buildings have also been restored. Except for more soldiers patrolling back and forth in the street market, it is no different from the usual city.
Starting from the south, he completely got rid of the identity of the spirit girl, and walked outside as an accompaniment to the marrying general Pang Hui.
Although his identity must be concealed, fortunately, most of the officers of the Northern Army have never seen the emperor.
"The local government is so stable and the order is restored so quickly. The general is really meritorious." Qin Nuo carefully observed the people walking around. Although he was in a hurry, he had no fear of failing.
"Thanks to the emperor for his praise, it is nothing more than the feats of the emperor. The work done by the emperor is not worth mentioning at all."
"Ahem, the general doesn't have to be modest."
"I thought about it. In the future, Nanlan City, Antu, and the Hengcheng in the west will have separate counties and be stationed in Bingma, and they can also trade with the clans in the west ..." Qin Nuo told Pei Ye the future concept .
Pei Ye listened carefully and made a few comments from time to time.
"In this way, the people of northern Xinjiang can also be secure. The emperor's move is meritorious." Pei Yue sighed. The borders of the frontier moved northward, and most parts of the northern border area would be stable from then on, and the people would not have to worry about the war of soldiers and soldiers all day.
The two chatted along the way, and soon reached the city's main mansion.
The servants had already packed up their courtyard.
After dinner, Qin Nuo hadn't rested yet, and Pei Yue came to visit again and sent the urgent military report just received by the Northern Army.
The good news from the flying pigeons on the southern front was faster than Qin Nuo expected.
The six towns in the south have returned!
Although it was already expected, Qin Nuo was pleasantly surprised by the successful completion. All this depends on that person's reputation in the Southern Chen Cani Party Army for many years, and on the attitude of the Chen brothers, and even on the hearts of the people. After being tortured by the war for so many years, the people in the six counties were really tired. Now I can finally return to a peaceful life.
"The court deserves congratulations to the emperor, and Nan Chen has completely calmed down. For at least two decades, the world has been stable and unpopular." Pei Yan bowed and smiled.
Qin Nuo closed the report and laughed: "This still depends on the work of the general."
"Hah, I don't dare to take credit. This time the situation is calm and the emperor alone planned it." Pei Yi shook his head and smiled. Shuo. There are very few emperors who have established such feats within three years.
"Is there such an exaggeration?" Qin Nuo touched his nose, feeling a little blushed.
"The emperor is accustomed to it. Now I am afraid that the congratulations on the concert are already full of half the Qianyuan Hall." Pei Yue laughed.
Qin Nuo thought for a while, this was indeed a foreseeable sight, and there was a headache for a while. Think about it this way, I don't want to go back.
Qin Nuo got up and went under the corridor. In just three years, I have experienced so many things. Thinking about the beginning of my journey, I just wanted to be a laid-back prince, and now I have unknowingly come to this day, it is incredible.
Moon stars are thin, Shino is silent.
This night is so serene and peaceful. I hope such a day will last a long time in the lives of every soldier and people.
Now that the six counties in the south are calm, there are still many things that need to be busy. The naval division warship will soon return, and the sea trade matters will also be on the agenda.
Qin Nuo couldn't help but turned to look at Pei Yi, and asked with a smile, "Does the general not care about what Chen will do with the Chen brothers?"
"The emperor's benevolent prince, they can be turned back in time." Pei Yue said calmly, "Moreover, even if you take your own way, the court can't ask again."
Qin Nuo couldn't help laughing, "Chen Li had sent you a letter before, including mobilizing the northern army to ambush the Turks' main force outside Jicheng."
Pei Yue smiled bitterly. "It seems that Chiaki told the emperor everything."
"Qian Qiu? Is that the real name of He Lanyu?" Qin Nuo suddenly realized. "Actually, he doesn't need to say it. He can probably guess."
Chen Li Bureau wanted to leave Beishuo and return to Nan Chen's hometown, but at the same time also wanted to repay Pei Yi's endeavour and give him a great victory, so he previously informed Pei the entire layout of the Turbi people through He Lanji Alas. Of course, he did not send this message, and Qin Nuo would also order it.
"He's really sincere to the general."
Pei Yue looked slightly dark and did not speak.
Qin Nuo looked at him, and suddenly remembered the scene when Chen Li was revealed, Pei Yue entered the palace and begged him to spare his life.
He whispered, "It is the retribution of the minister ..." His expression was bleak and blank.
At the time, Qin Nuo was shocked and thought that what Pei Yi called "retribution" meant that he had slaughtered during the expedition to Nanchen. But then after thinking about it, I felt wrong.
Mercilessly, Pei Ye has never been soft-hearted.
Careful reading of his battle report in Nanchen revealed that during the battle in Nanchen, when it was time to start killing, the decision was absolutely unforgiving. When there is no need to start, he will never create evil and slaughter life.
What kind of "retribution" is there in such a war?
Until the Xuelie tribe heard the words of the high priest, and saw the tragic encounters of the Xuelie tribe from prosperity to decline, they did not know what the demon that Pei Min had been thinking of over the years.
Pei Yue was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "How did the emperor know?"
Qin Nuo couldn't help but want to laugh. He thought Pei Ye wouldn't ask. His general was calm enough, and many days have passed since the coincidence that day, and the two have met to discuss official business many times. But never mentioned again.
When Qin Nuo thought he would not talk about it again, he asked.
"It was in the temple of Tianxing Mountain that the high priest mentioned to the Xie Lie the past of the year to the grandmother. In the side hall study, the grandmother saw the portrait of the spiritual daughter of Li Tuer." Qin Nuo simply said.
Pei Yue immediately understood everything.
"Her Royal Highness, shouldn't she die?" Qin Nuo couldn't help asking more.
Pei Du is one year younger than himself, only to show that at that time, Li Tuer did not die after jumping off the cliff. So at that time, Qin Nuo blurted out and asked if the High Priest had seen the body of the Spirit Girl.
The high priest replied, Where can I find the bones under the cliffs?
Probably seeing the emperor's curiosity, Pei Yue didn't answer this question directly, and he was silent for a moment, and he began to talk about this reason.
"Everything should start from more than forty years ago. I remember it was the early Qing Dynasty. When the emperor Taiqing had just taken over and the political stability was not stable, the Xuelie tribe used the power of the tribe to attack northern Xinjiang in the winter. That war The scale is huge, and three cities have been captured in succession, tens of thousands of people in the northern Xinjiang have been taken up and turned into slaves, and the damaged properties are countless ... "
Accompanied by the general's clear voice, Qin Nuo's mind also returned to the era of Jin Getie Ma.
Among these captives, one was a collateral daughter of Lingdong He's family. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was bought by a rich merchant of the Turbi ethnicity and collected as an outside room.
This wandering woman has lived in Nanlan City for more than ten years. Although she gave birth to a son to a wealthy merchant, she was not recognized by the family. Even the child could only be named after his mother's name. Moreover, the wealthy business man was violent in nature, and he was not willing to be reduced to slavery. He finally became one of them in contact with Beidi.
The real He Jieyou turned out to be born to the daughter of the He family in Lingdong, which surprised Qin Nuo.
"At that time, General Cheng Xinwu of the Northern Kingdom of Wu E was a veteran stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years. He was conservative and did not easily mobilize troops, but he valued the rear operations. He spread secret agents in various tribes in the north. I was sneaking into Beishu at that time.
Later things don't need to be detailed by Pei Yi, and Qin Nuo can probably guess too.
Pei Fei replaced the young man named He Jieyou, colluded with the wealthy merchants of the Tu Bi nationality, and brought down the rich merchants. After the incident, He's mother and son fled back to their homeland, and Pei Ye used He Jieyou's identity again. Continued activities in the Turbi people, and even under their instruction, pretending to be a young businessman, the Xuelie people provoked alienation.
They are also the five major tribes. At that time, the Turbi people were not as powerful as the Xuelie tribe. They were extremely vigilant about the Xuelie tribe attacking everywhere and arranged many spies to lurk. He Jieyou is one of them, but the most successful one. Even in order to keep pace with his rise in the Xuelie tribe, the Tubi tribe also designed several defeats.
The Xuelie people don't know that this talented and outstanding Wuxun boy is actually a puppet of the Tu Bi nationality.
The Turbi people did not know that this young man who was grateful to them and loyal to Dade was actually a of Da Zhou.
It is Pei Yue's ultimate task to turn the target of the Xuelie tribe to the Turbi tribe, so that the people and soldiers of northern Zhou Dynasty have the opportunity to rest and rest.
Maybe there are a lot of detailed works that take on this task, but none of them is as good as Pei Ye. He was almost perfectly mixed into the Turbi tribe, gained trust, and successfully mixed into the Xuelie tribe, backgammon. Rise.
In the end, he successfully stole the holy relic Beizhu Xuanzhu, and then planted the crime and motivation to the Turbi people.
According to the original script, there was a war between the two races. Even according to the comparison of the strengths of the two ethnic groups, the Turbi ethnic group cannot be the opponent of the Xuelie tribe. Maybe after several years of expedition, Nanlan City will become the territory of the Xuelie tribe.
Who knows that the heavens are playing tricks, and Tianxing Mountain broke out just at this time, and the Xuelie tribe failed.
Well, this result is not bad for Da Zhou, anyway, I got a chance to rest and rest.
You know, in that period, it was the last year of Emperor Taiqing. The grandfather of Qin Nuo was faint and incompetent in his later years, and the political affairs of the four kings made a mess. Even the grain and grass army in the north dared to move, even to Hengdao City All fall into the hands of the enemy. If the Xuelie clan continues to discuss, it is not yet known what the northern Xinjiang will look like.
It was the rapid change of the Xuelie tribe that turned many tribes in the north to eat the flesh of the Xuelie tribe. There was a rare Jingping time in the northern border of Dazhou,
Not only did the people recuperate, they successfully completed the change of government and government, Emperor Jing Yao succeeded to the throne, and even a few years after he succeeded, he could free his hands to go south to conquer.
It was also just before the demise of Nan Chen that the division between the Northern Mu Family and the Tubi tribe ended the division of the Xuelie tribe.
At this time, the nodes are very clever. Without the decline of the Xuelie clan, it is impossible for Zhou to destroy Nanchen, and the situation may be more difficult now. It may even step into the abyss of extinction between the north and south.
It can be said that the sharp decline of the Xuelie tribe has made today's big week.
It is the result of God ’s will, and also the credit of this person.
From this point of view, Qin Nuo really admired Pei Ye, even at the most difficult time, he could take a path that others could never imagine.
He looked at Pei Ye. The cold moonlight draws his handsome eyebrows purely and coldly, but also makes those eyes deeper and deeper, like the ice spring under the sun, floating a thin brilliance.
Whether Guanghua was sorrowful or melancholy, Qin Nuo couldn't tell. I just feel a sense of sorrow for no reason, as if a jar of sake has been deposited for many years, the taste is light, but profound.
The passing of time seemed to stop on this person. So far, he was still a 27-year-old youth when he first met.
Qin Nuo couldn't help thinking, what kind of beauty should this man have when he was a teenager?
If there is any imperfection in this script, it may be Li Tuer's infatuation with him.
"Does the general regret it? Xuele clan affairs." Qin Nuoqing couldn't help asking.
"There is nothing to regret. There is no room to accommodate private feelings between nations." He looked down and gave Qin Nuo a formulaic answer.
If there is really no regret, why after the return to northern Xinjiang did not disclose this remarkable credit, but instead sealed everything up. Of course, Qin Nuo did not ask.
After a moment of silence, as if thinking of the emperor's previous inquiry, Pei Yue continued: "After I fled from the Xuelie clan, I was busy with the battle in Hengdao City and returned to Beijing. It was a long time before I heard the news from Xuelie clan. One trip happened when the high priest took the people into the mountains to hide. She was executed by negotiation and forced to climb to the highest level of the temple ... I rushed to the cliff. Unfortunately, she was badly injured. Many things are recorded. Wonderful. "
In the end, Pei Yue's tone was a little unconsciously messy.
Qin Nuo listened calmly, and it turned out that Pei Yi's wife from the mountains was Li Tuoer. It was just that she lived in absentia, and few people in northern Xinjiang had seen him.
Seeing Pei Yan's expression bleak, Qin Nuo couldn't help but regret to bring up the topic himself.
For my own gossip ...
I was wondering if I should say something to ease the atmosphere. Instead, Pei Yi opened his mouth first.
"I heard that the emperor has played Ling flute in the army. I do not know where I learned it from."
"Uh, this ..."
"Even if the emperor is inconvenient," Pei Wenwen whispered.
This kind of empathy made Qin Nuo somewhat guilty. Looking at his expression full of nostalgia, Qin Nuo's mind moved slightly, and he blurted: "Blow to the general and listen."
He turned into the house and picked up the flute, all the way from west to east, thousands of miles away. This flute was always by his side. It was the most precious commemoration of this trip to Beishuo.
Standing in front of the court, the autumn wind passed through the corridor and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground. Qin Nuo put the instrument on his lips, and the melodious tone echoed in the courtyard.
At the end of the song, Pei Yan looked somber and he said nothing for a long time.
Qin Nuo couldn't help asking: "Can Pei Qing also play?"
Pei Yue didn't answer. He took the Ocarina from his hand and put it on his lips.
The long tone sounded, unlike the gentleness played by Qin Nuo before. This song is more full of atmosphere and desolate with three points. It reminds people of the white snow of Tianxing Mountain and the busy people under the mountain.
I heard that Ling Di's flute playing skills were only mastered by the sacrificial class in the temple. His Ling Di was only taught by His Royal Highness in private.
Qin Nuo sat under the porch, and Pei Yan stood beside him. In the melodious sound of the music, the monarch and ministerial division of the two did not seem to consciously fade.
After listening to a song, the night was thick.
Pei Yue fell into silence. It has been a long time since she remembered the past, but at this unexpected moment, in front of unexpected people, she thought of those dusty past events.
"After all, I feel ashamed of her, and of Xuelie."
"But the general is worthy of the world, the people of northern Xinjiang, and the Jiangshan community." Qin Nuo went on.
"The general does not have to be so guilty. Even if the general does not intervene in it, the Xuelie tribe will still suffer natural disasters. It will also decline." Qin Nuo pointed out calmly.
Maybe it won't be that terrible, it will be that quick.
After all, volcanic eruption is an irreversible process of manpower. The rise of the Xuelie people depends on Tianxing Mountain, and its decline is also Tianxing Mountain. All this is Providence.
Pei Ye smiled bitterly and said nothing.
After consolation, the young emperor suddenly thought of something to worry about.
"By the way, General, where is the Emperor Beizhu?" The origin of all disputes lies in He Jieyou's theft of this legendary treasure, and even because of this, the Turbi people have to drive him out.
Pei Yue finally awakened from the past. He glanced at the emperor, showing an inexplicable expression.
"How big is the emperor's view of the emperor's black pearl?"
"Ah, how old?"
"Let it rest on the ground, probably the emperor's chest is high." Pei Yi said blankly.
!! !! !! Qin Nuo was shocked. The Northern Emperor Xuanzhu was so big. He originally thought that it was only the size of a fist, just like the treasures in the novel he saw before. But then I thought about the red jade altar that I saw in the temple before. The magnificent gesture and the thing on it could not be a small bead.
"Is the emperor thinking that I might have taken such a big thing and surrounded by Xuelie tribe, and fled all the way back to the territory of the Tu Bi nationality?" Pei Yan said with a stern expression.
Imagine that picture ...
"Uh, I really can't. How did the general deal with it? Dig a pit and bury it?" Qin Nuo was curious.
The answer given by Pei Yi was unexpected: "Of course I threw it."
"Ah, throw it?"
Seeing Qin Nuo's face shocked, Pei Yi was suddenly amused, and her depression and depression seemed to be loosening.
"At that time, the minister climbed to the top of Tianxing Mountain, where there were ground stitches everywhere, and he looked for the deepest one, and threw it down."
"Oh, this is indeed the easiest way. The temple was originally built on Tianxing Mountain."
But even the Tubi group of guys don't even care about it. The high priests know how big the North Emperor's Black Pearl is. Why didn't they think this might be possible? He even thought that he was taken away by He Jieyou?
Is it the subconscious who refuses to believe that his treasure has been completely lost? Or if they got along in those years, they thought that this man was superb and clever, and he must have arranged a carriage to take the orb away in advance.
Forget it, it's impossible now to go back to Tancheng to visit the high priest.
Qin Nuo was about to say something, and suddenly thought of another thing, his body trembling.
Wait, threw it into the seam?
Tianxing Mountain is an active volcano! The ghost knew what was inside the deep seams of the mountain pass.
The emperor's black pearl contains a lot of saltpeter elements. And there is no shortage of sulfur in the ground cracks ...
No, no such coincidence is possible!
Qin Nuo tried to comfort himself, but couldn't help thinking in that direction.
Perhaps the great earthquake that destroyed the entire Turbi people was not a complete natural coincidence. It was a chemical reaction that Xuanzhu dropped to the ground. Only the upper layer is thicker. The volcano did not erupt and was emitted in the form of an earthquake.
Of course, the outbreak of Tianxing Mountain is a necessity of history. It was just that someone had a pack of explosives, medicine, uh, no, a large black pearl was thrown in, which greatly advanced the process.
Without this mysterious pearl, maybe Xuelie is one of the five tribes now, squatting at the foot of the mountain.
"Emperor, what's wrong?" Pei Yue wondered as Qin Nuo's face changed dramatically.
Qin Nuo suddenly sobered up, and quickly rushed into his wild imagination. He is not a geologist, and his past cannot be traced. It is impossible to test what the real situation is.
Let's face the future well.
He smiled at the general with a heartfelt admiration: "I just feel that the general is too deep."
Pei Ye :? ? ?
