Chapter 529 Sending Marriage Envoys, Hurting and Parting 2 At the head was a team of palace guards and palace maids and eunuchs who carried the banner, probably hundreds of people.
This group of people was selected by the Ministry of Internal Service to accompany Princess Ningguo to marry back to Huifu, and they could not return to the Central Plains when they died.
Kong Sheng actually has some criticism of this.
Because of the long journey, it is very inconvenient to get a group of delicate palace maids and eunuchs to follow, but this is what the Tang Dynasty ritual system needs, and as the next person who cannot be less than the Tang princess, he is helpless.
He knew very well in his heart that when these people arrived in Mobei to return to the tooth tent, the fate could be imagined.
The Hui people live a simple life, even as the concubine of the Khan, it is impossible for Princess Ningguo to leave so many people around her.
The Hui royal family would never keep so many idlers in captivity.
Eighty percent, these people will eventually become slaves of the powerful from all sides, and it will not be long before they die in a foreign land and become lonely ghosts.
Half of Princess Ningguo's luan is in the middle.
She sat quietly on top of Luan Driver with an expressionless face, dressed in a gorgeous neon palace dress.
Speaking of which, today is the day she got married, and it is a big day, but there is no trace of joy on Princess Ningguo's delicate face.
But there is also no sadness, only calm and numbness.
After all, it's not a day or two waiting for this day.
No matter how much desolation there is, it has come to naught over time, and the tears have been worked hard, where will there be a tearful sour Chu Ningguo didn't close her eyes last night, she thought a lot, and thought about her sad life, from the beginning of her birth to the present, although she is the daughter of the emperor, she has not actually lived a good life of wealth and stability for a few days.
As soon as he accompanied the emperor out of the war, he was selected as a princess again, and all kinds of helplessness and sorrow are difficult to express.
But whether it is self-pity or complaining, Princess Ningguo knows that she can't resist, she can only move forward.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, she can only move forward.
Next to her was Princess Ji Guo, who was pale at the beginning of her serious illness.
The sisterhood is deep, and Ji Guo specially asked the emperor to personally send Princess Ningguo to Lingwu and then return.
But how could the emperor agree.
When the princess travels, she must have a justifiable reason, otherwise going out of Beijing without permission is against the Tang Dynasty etiquette system.
Moreover, Ji Guo's current physical condition does not allow her to travel long distances to sleep in the open.
Ji Guo had no choice but to give up.
After the princess's luan, it was Ning Guo's dowry.
This is what the Hui people hope to get the most, a large amount of grain, grass, baggage and logistical materials.
It is mainly grain, rice, silk, cloth and wine, as well as all kinds of practical production materials carried by all kinds of skilled craftsmen.
As for gold, silver and jewelry, the Hui people don't like it too much.
The princess's dowry was more than a hundred carts.
And that's just a small part of it.
Most of the materials and dowries have been transferred out of Beijing in advance or transferred to various places through the Ministry of Households, and they have been sent to Lingwu City in advance to be on standby. and kissed once, and the Tang Dynasty court paid a heavy price for it.
It is good to say that there is a lot of surplus grain in various places, and now the war has not completely subsided, and raising this batch of dowries has made the people in the household department a headache.
For the already stretched Datang treasury, it is undoubtedly worse.
But one point less, and the Hui people will not agree.
Whatever the emperor promised, the Tang Dynasty could not lack a single point.
But apart from the headaches of the officials in the household department, few people in the government and the opposition pay attention to this.
Kong Sheng couldn't help but be startled when he saw the long gift list when he led people to count the accompanying materials yesterday, and the emperor was really poor and generous, and he actually gave such a big benefit to the Hui people, isn't this his own food to feed the tigers, leopards and jackals who are trying to devour themselves At this time, Datang is still in the midst of ups and downs, and he even has to slap his swollen face and become fat, and he claims to be the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.
In the end, it was the cavalry of the 5,000 Shence Army led by Nan Yong and Wuxian Wuxie.
The reason why he took Wu Xianwu to solve it was because these two people were originally aliens in the Western Regions, and they were familiar with the languages and customs of the Hui and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and they could be used as guides.
But Kong Sheng was not very confident in the ability of these two people to lead troops, so he brought Nan Yong again.
This carefully selected 5,000 iron cavalry was Kong Sheng's henchman and main force when he was reorganizing the army in Xiayi, and it was tempered by the baptism of the Henan battlefield, and its combat effectiveness was quite strong.
With Nan Yong as the mainstay, supplemented by Wuxian Wujie, there is such an iron horse as the backing, which adds a lot of safety to this trip.
The five thousand cavalry rode on the horses, but they were silent and silent, their movements were uniform, and the military appearance was neat, and they saw the people around them nodding their heads in appreciation.
And the evaluation of Kong Sheng's ability to reorganize the army is another level higher.
Many people didn't notice that in the slow march of the 5,000 forbidden cavalry, there were more than a dozen tightly wrapped carts, which were completely different from the vehicles that transported the dowry.
This is the gun carriage carried by Kong Sheng.

On this trip, he brought five artillery pieces and a large number of shells, which were important bargaining chips for him to deter the Hui people, and they were very important.
In addition, the Condor was also locked up by him in a cart that was almost a cage and walked along.
After a few days of boiling eagles, the males of the eagle eagle have been worn out too much.
But Kong Sheng felt that it was still not enough, and along the way, he would still let the guards continue to torture and domesticate the eagle according to the rhythm.
I'm afraid that Nina never dreamed that Kong Sheng would come up with such a simple and crude but effective method to domesticate the Ming Sect's apologetic eagle.
If Nina knew that Mingjiao's Condor would have ended up today, she would definitely not agree to lend it to Kong Sheng.
In fact, Nina also knows that the Condor has reached Kong Sheng's hands, and eighty percent of it is a meat bun and a dog that has no return, but for Nina, the most important thing at present is how to let Mingjiao gain a foothold in Chang'an and Datang, as long as this goal can be achieved, even if she loses this Condor, she can also explain the past to the top.
Besides, now it's just borrowing.
As long as it is borrowed, it will always be repossessed one day in the future.
Moreover, Nina thought very simply, this Condor has been domesticated and trained by the Ming Sect for many years, and it is impossible for her to obey the orders of outsiders, as long as she wants, she can summon the Condor back at any time.
Nina later regretted it too late.
When she realized that something was wrong and wanted to take back the Condor, she suddenly found that the Condor was no longer under the command of her or any of the Ming Sect disciples, and the original domestication and use system had all come to naught.
This is Kong Sheng's ability, or, with a hint of luck.
No one knew that Kong Sheng was carrying not only five powerful cannons, but also a huge eagle.
All in all, this trip to the honor guard material comprehensive support team is as long as a mile, and the march is somewhat slow, starting from the princess of Ningguo in Daming Palace to say goodbye to the emperor and empress, and it took an hour to walk to Guanghuamen.
Kong Sheng is still familiar to the people of Chang'an City today with his white-clothed bright armor, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and the wind chasing god horse under his crotch, and he is heroic.
Kong Sheng rode on a horse in parallel with Princess Ningguo's Luan.
It's politeness, but it's also a protection.
But Princess Ning Guo didn't communicate with him except for occasional faint glances along the way.
Kong Sheng knew that this woman was very sad in her heart, but with her gentle and generous character and submissive character of taking care of the overall situation, it was difficult to speak, and she never showed her true heart and emotions to outsiders.
Even in the face of Princess Ji Guo, there are some words that she can't speak.
Without him, it's not distrust, it's this kind of character.
However, Princess Ji Guo not only comforted Princess Ning Guo softly along the way, but also constantly begged Kong Sheng to protect and take care of Ning Guo well. even hinted that Kong Sheng should remember what she said last night, but Kong Sheng could only smile bitterly and did not respond.
Ji Guo found Kong Sheng last night and said something amazing.
Kong Sheng didn't expect Princess Ji Guo to have such a bold idea, knowing that her sisterhood was inseparable, he didn't say whether he didn't agree and agree, but he didn't publicly refute her words.
Seeing that Kong Sheng had not responded, Ji Guo was a little anxious, but there were many eyes and ears on the left and right, and she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only whisper in a low voice: "Kong Sheng, you don't have to pretend to be stupid for this palace, anyway, this is far away to return to the Mobei tent of the King of the Imperial Court, thousands of miles away, and there are countless dangers on the road, if you don't protect Sister Ning Guo well, I won't spare you in the future."
Kong Sheng still sat upright on the horse, and smiled bitterly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the minister should fulfill his duties and fulfill his mission, please rest assured that the princess will definitely protect His Royal Highness Ning Guo."
Kong Sheng's answer was actually the opposite of what Ji Guo wanted, she was even more anxious and angry, but she couldn't attack in public, she could only suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction, and stared at Kong Sheng with shameful eyes on the car, Kong Sheng turned a blind eye.
Ning Guo sighed lightly, whether it was the conversation between Kong Sheng and Ji Guo along the way, or the meeting of various eyes, she actually didn't understand it, she only misunderstood it as flirting between the two.
In the past, there is no need to mention it, but now, because of Kong Sheng's refusal to marry and the turmoil of Princess Ji Guo's martyrdom for love, coupled with the incident in Dangyang Valley last time, there seems to be some kind of inexplicable affection between these young men and women who are originally the most unlikely to walk together.
Others can't see it, but Ning Guo can feel it.
Ning Guo glanced at Kong Sheng, who was majestic and graceful on the horse, and said secretly in his heart: After so much, or Kong Sheng and Ji Guo's sister really hope to come together, this is Ji Guo's blessing and her fate.
But I am so miserable to marry back to Hui, to marry in that bitter cold place, to marry a man of a different race much older than her, to live in that dangerous place for the rest of my life, in fact, it is more painful than killing her.
Ning Guo actually thought of committing suicide to resist the arrangement and manipulation of fate.
But she knew that it was simple for her to die, but the harmony between Datang and Hui Hui could not end, at most, she changed other sisters to continue to return to Hui and Hui, so if she died, she would harm others.
Anyway, the left and right are dead, rather than dying and affecting others, it is better for Ning Guo to have a trace of determination in his eyes: if his suppressed life can make the Tang Dynasty more stable, and if his sacrifice can make his family and country stronger and more prosperous, it is worth it.
Ning Guo slowly closed his eyes, and his expression became more and more flat and demure.
The afterglow from the corner of Kong Sheng's eyes swept over Ning Guo's beautiful face and almost perfect body arc, and he secretly admired this woman's gentleness and open-mindedness, which was beyond the reach of an ordinary woman.
Her self-regulation ability, her psychological endurance, her sacrifice and dedication for the sake of the overall situation, and her character essence of overcoming rigidity with softness, the longer the time of contact, Kong Sheng is more appreciated.
It is not that Kong Sheng supports Ning Guo's obedience, nor is it that Kong Sheng supports Datang and Hui Hui.
It's just that since you can't resist and have many scruples, it's better to face and accept it calmly, and wait for the time of fate to run with a calm mind.
If it were an ordinary woman, in the face of such an encounter, I am afraid that she would have cried and cried with resentment and tears in Chang'an, but Ning Guo did not.
Of course, behind her calm exterior there are also churning waves inside. oshow7 t1706231537:
