Chapter 171 The Turkic King
Pingkangfang is the first fireworks place in the Tang Dynasty, which is comparable to the Qinhuai River in Jiangning during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Of course, there were many Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions, some were run by official offices of the Jiaofangsi, while others were opened under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofangsi.
In recent times, Xiuchunlou has the most popular business, so there is a girl in Hongshe.
It is said that this Hongxiu girl is from Jingchu and comes from Zigui City, Nanjun, bordering the Three Gorges of Badong. When a person who is interested in the fun of talking immediately remembers that Zigui is the hometown of Wang Zhaojun, a beauty in the Han Dynasty!
The beauty from Zhaojun's hometown is also stunning in appearance and is naturally compared. In just over a month, Hongxiu became known as "Little Zhaojun".
Its name is also very touching. Hongxiu Tianxiang is a beautiful thing that many scholars and talents dream of, especially those children of aristocratic families who usually linger in the flowers, are flocking to it.
After half a month, Xiuchun Tower was crowded with guests, with only one purpose, that is, to listen to the Hongxiu girl playing a song or dance a sword to entertain guests.
Of course, I have more in-depth thoughts, but it’s just not easy to speak.
Many people attempt to impress the hearts of beautiful women with their financial status, knowledge and talents, but unfortunately they all failed.
However, this does not prevent the perseverance of the nobles and talented students from pursuing it. The most direct result is that Xiuchunlou's business is booming.
The girl Hongxiu only performs performances and never even invites a certain guest to have tea, let alone have a chance to have a kiss.
Those guests who were ripped off the fire had to vent their feelings. Xiuchun Tower seemed to be ready, and the beautiful women had been waiting for a long time and served the guests very thoughtfully.
Therefore, the unknown Xiuchun Tower soon became famous in Chang'an. After its reputation spread, more guests came to visit.
Even a rude man like Cheng Chumo is no exception, let alone others.
The happiest person in this way is naturally the owner of Xiuchun Tower and the person behind him.
A window on the top floor of Xiuchun Building. A masked woman in purple clothes saw the guests coming and going below through the window, and a gratifying smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Sister, as you expected, Hongxiu really lived up to expectations. In just over a month, there were guests in the store, and there were endless guests." A middle-aged woman behind her seemed to be a madam here, and she was obviously above the masked daughter. But she still bowed and called her elder sister.
"A group of noble children who rely on their ancestors' merits to seek flowers and willows. When Suli sees a beautiful woman, she can't move her feet. With the appearance of a red sleeve, how can they be exceptional?"
The masked woman said, "But, it doesn't make sense to come alone, you should understand what I mean."
"Don't worry, sister, I can save it."
"How about Hongxiu? Do you still have to be at ease?" The masked woman pondered: "To be honest, if it is not necessary, I wouldn't want her to get involved... A handsome and innocent woman will be in the dust for a long time."
"Sister, don't worry, Hongxiu is a girl who is grateful to her family. If you have kindness to raise her, she will naturally repay her kindness."
The madam whispered: "But... Hongxiu does not seem to like... to please men, but it happens that the more they can't get, it is precious. Hongxiu treats them without slandering, the more people are tempted."
"Well, that's good... You usually find a way to protect the red sleeves. I don't want her to suffer too much grievance here." The masked woman in purple told her softly, and she couldn't help but close her eyes, as if she was unbearable to look back on the past.
"Yes! I know and understand." The madam is a smart man and knows some of the inside story. Seeing this situation, she was afraid of arousing the sad things of "big sister". After agreeing, she did not dare to say anything again.
After a long time, the masked woman spoke, "By the way, what are the more important customers there have been recently?"
The word "important" obviously does not mean the usual meaning, but has something else. The madam understood in her heart. She walked to the window, pointed to a table in the corner of the downstairs, and whispered: "Sister, this person is considered one, his surname is Ashina!"
...
A guest sat in the corner of Xiuchun Tower, named Asina, named Yasuno.
The broad-faced and blue-eyed appearance is different from the Han people in the Central Plains, but it does not stand out. Now Chang'an is an international metropolis, with many merchants from all over the world gathering, and even many descendants of the Western Regions have lived here for a long time.
The people of Chang'an have long been accustomed to the blonde hair and blue eyes, fair-skinned people, and even the dark-skinned Kunlun slaves.
Of course, many of them were Turkic people, and there were also many descendants of the Asina clan, the former Turkic royal family.
Since the early years of Zhenguan, Li Jing led his troops to defeat Jie Li Khan. Almost all the Turks in the east surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Jie Li Khan was imprisoned in Chang'an for many years and died of illness. However, many Turkic royal children were treated preferentially, and even made kings and marquis, and more favorable envelopment.
For example, the chief of Zhishili, the chief of Zhishili, married Princess Jiujiang, the daughter of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and became the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke Anguo.
The nephew of the Khan of Qimin, Asunasmo, was even named Prince of Heshun by the Tang Dynasty, and the former little Khan of the Turks, Tuli, was also valued by the Tang Dynasty.
Obviously, this is a political need. The reuse of these people's former Turkic nobles was to stabilize the Turkic people who remained on the grasslands, so as to avoid recurrence of war.
After all, the Turkic people on the grassland cannot be killed, nor can they be moved away, so they are very important. If the land that was fought with countless money and grain and soldiers could not be kept, and the war would be inflicted again, it would be really not cost-effective.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty understood this principle and agreed with it, so they adopted this gentle and gentle approach. From the current point of view, the effect is quite good.
At least the old place of the Turks in the east was relatively stable, which gave the Tang Dynasty more energy to guard against Xueyantuo in the northwest and could take the opportunity to free up hands to deal with Tuyuhun and Tubo people in the west.
However, not all Turkic nobles were very satisfied. After all, their treatment was different from the current situation, especially those who thought they were noble but did not receive corresponding treatment. There were no fewer complaints.
For example, the Asina who was drinking in Xiuchunlou was the younger brother of Turi Khan. He was born into the Turkic royal family and was considered to be of noble status.
But in the Tang Dynasty, his life was very unsatisfactory.
Perhaps it was because he was not good at being a child, and Tuli Khan was so angry that he was very strict with him and blamed him so that he felt a little resentful.
After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he felt that he was treated poorly by Li Shimin, especially in the fifth year of Zhenguan, after Tuli Khan died on the way to the Hajj.
Asina's association rate became more and more aware that the Tang Dynasty's court did not value him, let alone treated him like Zhi Wushu.
Life is not satisfactory, so I feel very unhappy. The only way to dispatch is to drink flowers and wine, look for flowers and willows... (To be continued...)
