Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

The medical officer was terrified and found an excuse to escape from the camp. Xiao Jun was uneasy and returned to the camp bedroom alone, silent for a long time. Princess Yicheng came to the bedroom and saw that Xiao Jun was in a low mood, so she said: "Why is the emperor's sister-in-law so melancholy? Is she trapped by love again?"

Xiao Jun shook his head, sat alone by the bed, silent. The princess asked again: "I know that the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't want to marry Duobi again, but we have to rely on the Turks to restore the Sui Dynasty. Besides, it is customary for grassland women to remarry several times, so there is no need to worry."

"Alas." Xiao Jun sighed: "I am not afraid of remarrying, but I think there are some hidden reasons for Duobi to inherit the Khanate."

Princess Yicheng said: "No matter who is the Khan, we women in the Turks have to marry down. If not for ourselves, we should also consider the emperor's grandson Zhengdao."

Xiao Jun thought of his grandson Yang Zhengdao. Although he was afraid of Duobi, the matter was done and the matter had come to this point. He was powerless to clarify the truth, let alone the injustice of Chuluo. After Princess Yicheng's repeated persuasion, Xiao Jun silently agreed.

At night, the door of the room creaked open. Xiao Jun sat by the bed and saw that it was Duobi, who was now Jie Li Khan. Xiao Jun stood up and bowed slowly: "Your concubine greets the Khan."

"No need to be polite, my lady." Jie Li Khan walked into the room, looked around the bedroom, and said: "Today my Khan succeeded to the throne. I heard from the princess that my lady was lonely, so my Khan came to accompany me tonight."

Xiao Jun said: "How dare I make the Khan worry?"

"Why don't you smile?" Jie Li Khan reached out to hold Xiao Jun's hand, but Xiao Jun quickly retracted her hand and stepped aside. Jie Li Khan asked: "Don't you want to serve me?"

Xiao Jun asked bravely: "Is the five stones taken by Chuluo Khan an elixir or a poison?"

"Why do you say that, my lady?" Jie Li Khan asked cautiously.

Xiao Jun said: "Chu Luo did not die of disease, but of cinnabar poisoning."

Jie Li Khan was breathing heavily, and he no longer concealed it. He said frankly: "Since the beauty is asking, I will not hide it. The medicine my brother used was the poison pill I ordered to be made."

Xiao Jun asked: "You two are brothers, how could you bear to poison each other?"

Jie Li Khan said: "Even if it is the Great Sui Dynasty, what can it do? Yang Guang killed his father and brother and seized the throne. It's just like this. Why bother about it?" After hearing this, Xiao Jun couldn't help but think of the old events in the Sui Palace. Now it is still vivid in his mind and he can't forget it.

"For the Khan's throne, for the people, and for you." Jie Li Khan spoke with sincerity. After hearing this, Xiao Jun bowed her head and said nothing. Jie Li Khan stroked Xiao Jun's shoulders and said, "I have a deep affection for the beauty, and I have been trying to get close to her. Only if my brother dies early can the beauty remarry."

Seeing Xiao Jun's cold face and silence for a long time, Jie Li Khan comforted her, "I will do everything my brother promised, restore the Sui Dynasty, and support the emperor's grandson. If we can recover the Central Plains, I will definitely send the beauty back to the two capitals."

Xiao Jun bowed her head and said, "Restoring the Sui Dynasty is not what I hope for. I only hope that the imperial family will stop killing each other."

"This Khan repliedI will agree to you, but you have to agree to this Khan. "Jie Li Khan said.

"What?"

"Be my Khan's concubine." Jie Li Khan picked up Xiao Jun and put her on the bed. Jie Li Khan was both wise and brave, and was three times more powerful than Chu Luo. Xiao Jun never thought that she would still have peach blossoms at the age of 54. She married five times and got a new love. This is:

Five peach blossoms are in your fate, and you will meet your fate again when you are far away from home.

Send the hatred of the late husband in front of the spirit, and you can't refuse the pity of the new master in the tent.

Three consecutive days of heavy rain delayed the march; Chu Luo died, and they were depressed and mourning. More than 100,000 Turkic soldiers had to wait on the spot and defend Mayi.

At this time, a fast horse came to report: "Report to King Dingyang, Tang Lord Li Yuan sent 80,000 troops and horses, and they have arrived in Jinyang one after another. ”

When Liu Wuzhou heard this, he slammed the table and shook his head, sighing: "Speed ​​is the essence of war, but God is not on our side, and the Khan's throne has changed. For several days, the Tang army has benefited from it."

General Song Jingang said: "Now we are in a dilemma, whether to fight or retreat, the king should go and ask Jie Li Khan as soon as possible."

Liu Wuzhou nodded, and immediately rushed to the camp with Song Jingang. When they arrived at the Khan's camp, they saw guards guarding the door, so Liu Wuzhou asked: "Is the Khan here?"

The guard said: "The Khan was visiting the Khan's concubine yesterday, and he hasn't gotten up yet."

"Khan's concubine?" Liu Wuzhou said: "Which Khan's concubine?"

The guard said: "It's the beautiful Xiao Jun, who was canonized as Khan's concubine last night."

Liu Wuzhou was stunned and said to himself: "The former lord's body is not yet cold, and the new lord can't wait to accept his sister-in-law. "Song Jingang, who was standing behind him, pulled Liu Wuzhou's sleeve, and the two came to the side.

Song Jingang said: "Something is wrong with this."

"What's wrong?" Liu Wuzhou said: "The Turks have no etiquette and morality, and their beastly nature is hard to change. What's wrong with that?"

Song Jingang said: "Your Majesty, think about it. Before Duobi inherited the Khan's throne, he kept saying that he would help you recover Jinyang. Now he has made Xiao Jun the Khan's concubine. I'm afraid that he will fall into Xiao Jun's beauty trap and still help the restoration of the Sui Dynasty."

"What a good Xiao Meiniang, she enters the bridal chamber every night and changes the groom every day. This witch is lucky again." Liu Wuzhou rolled his eyes and thought that Song Jingang's words made sense, so he asked the guards: "When will the Khan get up?"

The guards said: "Just now, the message came from inside that everyone will be summoned after noon. "Liu Wuzhou was full of anger and left in a huff.

After noon, Jie Li Khan came to the camp hall. Princess Yicheng and civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. Jie Li Khan sat on the tiger skin chair and asked: "Now the Tang soldiers have gathered in Jinyang. It has been raining for days and the opportunity to fight has been lost. Should we advance or retreat? What should we do?"

Liu Wuzhou said: "A fight to the death is inevitable. It is better to go south for a decisive battle."

Princess Yicheng was a woman who was proficient in military and political affairs. She wanted to leave Jinyang to her grandson Yang Zhengdao to restore the Sui Dynasty. Seeing that Liu Wuzhou was eager to use the Turks to recapture Jinyang, the princess said: "Prince Dingyang is eager to fight, but he missed the opportunity in the rain and met with the great funeral of Chuluo Khan. It is better to return to Mobei first."

Liu Wuzhou glanced at the princess and said: "Jinyang is my capital, the princess will not fail to helpRight?"

"The whole world belongs to the Sui Dynasty. When did it become the capital of King Dingyang?" the princess asked.

"You..." Liu Wuzhou's face flushed red, and he said to Jie Li Khan: "Khan, you are wise. When the Sui Dynasty was unjust, the Turks helped me to rebel and occupy Jinyang. How can I restore the Sui Dynasty?"

Princess Yicheng took the lead and said to Jie Li Khan: "Thinking back then, the Turks were divided into the east and the west. If it weren't for the help of the Sui Dynasty, how could the Eastern Turks be revived today? The Khan must not be ungrateful."

The two quarreled. One was marrying his own woman, and the other was a hero supported by the Turks. They were in a dilemma. Jie Li Khan stood up: "Wait for this Khan to consider it and think twice before acting. "After saying that, he left in a huff.

The discussion ended in vain, and everyone dispersed. Jie Li Khan returned to the camp compound, strolled in the garden, and had nothing to do. He saw Xiao Jun sitting alone in the courtyard flipping through a book. Seeing the Khan coming back, Xiao Jun hurriedly stood up and saluted. Jie Li said: "Khan's concubine, no need to be polite. This Khan has something to ask you."

"Khan, please tell me." Xiao Jun said.

Jie Li said: "Today, when discussing the use of troops, the princess advocated the use of Jinyang to restore the Great Sui Dynasty, and King Ding Yang advocated occupying Jinyang as the capital. This Khan wants to hear the Khan's concubine's opinion."

Xiao Jun said: "I have long given up hope of restoring the Great Sui Dynasty. If Liu Wuzhou likes Jinyang, just give it to him."

"Then the Khan's concubine and the emperor's grandson Zhengdao will suffer a loss? "Jie Li said.

"Alas..." Xiao Jun sighed and shook his head, saying, "The Great Sui Dynasty has long been destroyed. How can we expect it to be restored?" He looked at Jie Li affectionately and said, "Thanks to the Khan's foster care, my grandparents and grandchildren can survive. We would rather be civilians than be reborn in an imperial family."

Jie Li looked at Xiao Jun with deep affection, and said touchingly, and took Xiao Jun's hands: "Listening to the Khan's wife's confession, this Khan can't bear it. If the Great Sui Dynasty is not restored, wouldn't it be a bargain for Li Yuan and his son?"

After speaking, Jie Li turned around and was about to pass on the order. Xiao Jun hurriedly stopped Jie Li: "Where does the Khan want to go?"

Jie Li said, "This Khan has a countermeasure. Tomorrow, we will withdraw our troops and not take Jinyang first."

"How will the Khan explain to the princess and King Dingyang? "Xiao Jun asked.

Jie Li said: "This Khan will first appoint Yang Zhengdao as the King of Sui, and then order King Yang Liu Wuzhou to assist him. You are all Han people, so why not stay together in Dingxiang."

When Xiao Jun heard this, how could he agree with peace of mind? He said: "The Khan doesn't know that the two kings will become enemies after a long time of grudges. How can Liu Wuzhou condescend to assist the grandson of the Sui Emperor? I'm afraid he will suffer from it."

Jie Li was full of confidence, patting Xiao Jun on the shoulder and admonishing: "Don't worry, Khan's wife, Liu Wuzhou is now a dog that has lost his home, and I don't think he has the courage to do it. "Jie Li Khan comforted Xiao Jun, then left, issued a military order, and the army returned. This is:

How could Yicheng let Dingyang Wang go? The two factions each planned to seize Jinyang.

You are the capital and I am the founder of the country. It is difficult to return to the south with one heart.

Jie Li Khan led 150,000 Turkic soldiers, withdrew from Mayi City, passed through Yanmen Pass, and returned to Mobei. Princess Yicheng was unwilling, and Dingyang Wang Liu Wuzhou was even more complaining..

General Song Jingang rode on his horse and asked Liu Wuzhou leisurely: "In order to avoid contradictions, the Khan neither supported Prince Dingyang nor supported Yang Zhengdao. If they all returned to Dingxiang County, I am afraid that there would not be room for two tigers in one mountain."

Liu Wuzhou snorted and said: "Who will Jinyang belong to in the future? It will eventually belong to someone. Wait until Dingxiang County and see how Jie Li Khan will justify himself." The two chatted all the way, and soon they arrived in Dingxiang.

As soon as they arrived in Dingxiang, Yan Honger held the two-year-old grandson Yang Zhengdao out of the city to greet them, and Sui minister Murong Xia led the accompanying officials to welcome them together. Xiao Jun and Princess Yicheng were reunited with their families and were very happy. Jie Li Khan also issued an oral order, ordering the 150,000 troops to rest for a day.

Two days later, Jie Li Khan summoned all the generals to the palace to discuss matters. Princess Yicheng participated in all the political affairs of the Turkic people. Jie Li Khan sat in the middle, Princess Yicheng sat beside him, and the others sat on both sides.

Jie Li said: "We missed the opportunity to fight in the south, and it is difficult to recover Jinyang for the time being. We will temporarily settle all the Han people in Dingxiang. Today's meeting is to discuss who will be the leader of the Han people?"

General Song Jingang said: "In my opinion, King Dingyang Liu Wuzhou swore an alliance with Shibi Khan to fight against the Sui Dynasty, so he should be the leader of the Han people."

Princess Yicheng glanced at Song Jingang and asked: "We are not in Jinyang now, but in Dingxiang. This Dingxiang was built by Chuluo Khan for Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Zhengdao should be the leader of the Han people."

Song Jingang did not dare to directly advise the princess, and bowed: "The grandson Yang Zhengdao is already a fallen country, and he is only two years old. How can he be the leader of the Han people? And King Dingyang Liu Wuzhou is a hero in his prime and should be the leader. Please understand, Princess."

Yicheng Princess Cheng said: "The royal family of the Great Sui Dynasty is the orthodox dragon vein. The prince of Dingyang is at most a warlord and a powerful person. There is a difference between the high and the low, and they cannot be compared."

Song Jingang was a warrior after all, and he could not argue with Princess Yicheng. Liu Wuzhou stood up and bowed and said: "What the princess said makes sense. No matter who is the leader of the Han people, half of the Han people in Dingxiang were migrated from Jinyang by me." Liu Wuzhou's face changed, and he said to Jie Li Khan: "Either I will lead the people of Jinyang to establish another mountain, or ask the Khan to give justice."

When Jie Li Khan saw that Princess Yicheng and Liu Wuzhou were deadlocked, he mediated and persuaded them kindly: "What Princess Yicheng and Prince Dingyang said makes sense. Why not do this, I will make the decision for you two and jointly manage the Han people in Dingxiang in the future."

"How to jointly manage?" Liu Wuzhou asked.

"The emperor's grandson Yang Zhengdao is a dragon, so he should be the master. Liu Wuzhou has made an alliance with the Turks and has been given the title of King of One Character and Yang Zhengdao, and he will rule Dingxiang together with Yang Zhengdao. When the Turks recover the Central Plains, the two families will share the world equally."

Princess Yicheng and Liu Wuzhou looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. Jie Li Khan knew that the two had to rely on him, so he said, "If you have no prejudice, support the emperor's grandson Yang Zhengdao as the King of Sui."

Although the emperor's grandson Yang Zhengdao became the leader of the Han people, he was only two years old after all. Liu Wuzhou was a King of One Character and still used the title of "Dingyang" because he had no territory and it was not easy to refute Jie Li Khan.Khan's face, had to acquiesce.

In the winter of the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, in December 620 AD, under the support of Jie Li Khan, Yang Zhengdao, the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, ascended the throne in Dingxiang (now southeast of Hohhot), re-established the name of the Great Sui Dynasty, continued to use the Daye era, respected Xiao Jun as the Grand Empress Dowager, respected Yan Honger as the Imperial Concubine, Liu Wuzhou, Murong Xia, Song Jingang and other Han people assisted in the administration, with tens of thousands of Han people and 10,000 Turkic herdsmen, established a small court, known as the Later Sui Dynasty.

The coronation ceremony was celebrated for several days, and Dingxiang made proper arrangements. Jie Li Khan led his army back north and decided to move the tent to Tieshan (now Baiyunebo). Grand Empress Dowager Xiao Jun, Imperial Concubine Yan Honger, Dingyang King Liu Wuzhou, Murong Xia, Song Jingang and others went out of the city to see him off.

Khan Jie Li and Princess Yicheng approached the carriage. Jie Li looked at Xiao Jun affectionately and stretched out his hand to adjust the fur collar of Xiao Jun's shawl: "This Khan led the herdsmen to migrate to Tieshan, and Dingxiang City depends entirely on the regent of my beloved concubine. You are the Empress Dowager of the Great Sui Dynasty, and you will always be the Khan's concubine of the Turks."

"Thanks to the support of the Khan, I will do my best to restore the Great Sui Dynasty." Xiao Jun looked at Princess Yicheng beside her and said: With the princess serving me, I feel relieved. ”

Jie Li said: “I have ordered General Kang Sumi to lead 3,000 elite Turkic cavalry to leave it to my beloved concubine. Liu Wuzhou will not dare to act recklessly.”

“It would be best if Liu Wuzhou could loyally assist the government. If he has second thoughts, he will definitely flee south and will not harm the grassland.” Xiao Jun said, Jie Li Khan nodded, agreed with him, and said goodbye to everyone with Princess Yicheng, and left.

Xiao Jun and Yan Honger returned to the palace, and walked to the inner hall one after the other. Yan Honger became Xiao Jun's daughter-in-law and asked as they walked: "The Khan is gone. I wonder how many days it will take for him to come and visit my mother again?"

Xiao Jun stopped and turned to say: "The Khan is gone. Our marriage is over. We will never have love again."

Yan Honger was shocked and puzzled. Xiao Jun glanced at the steps of the main hall and stretched out his arm and said: "My wife, help me." Yan Honger hurriedly supported Xiao Jun's arm and went up the steps. Xiao Jun said: "I am really old. My legs can't move anymore. I can't serve the Khan anymore."

Yan Honger supported Xiao Jun and hobbled up to the main hall. This time, she saw a few strands of white hair against Xiao Jun's temples. Without realizing it, the female ruler of the Sui Dynasty is about to turn 55 years old. The Empress Dowager is the regent of the Later Sui Dynasty. This is:

The Later Sui Dynasty was established to continue the previous string, and the mother of the frontier fortress has been in power for another ten years.
