Chapter 843 Su Yunyan's Gift
After Su Xuanming and his two brothers had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to watch a short opera before returning home at dusk.
"Aunt Lumei, is my mother asleep?"
Su Xuanming appeared in front of Lumei like a ghost.
Lu Mei was startled, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear: "Da Lang, why are you doing such a sneaky thing in your own house? Wouldn't it be better if you went to see the master and asked him in person?"
"I don't dare."
Su Xuanming lowered his head, his eyes looking at his nose, and his nose looking at his feet, like a child who had never grown up.
Lu Mei swallowed the sigh in her mouth and said softly: "You are the master's biological son, why dare you? Let's go, how can the master really be angry with you!"
Lumei brought Su Xuanming to Gu Nanxi's yard.
Originally, Cui Sanlun and others planned to have a round of refutations and finally let Duke Yun wear the yellow robe and move into the palace.
As a result, these days, first there was trouble from the Imperial City Bureau, and then there were crimes committed by the Yunzhou soldiers, so this major event was delayed.
Especially since Gu Nanxi was injured, she had to rest completely before doing anything physically strenuous, so she still lived in her own yard.
Although it was already dusk, Gu Nanxi's yard was still bustling with activity.
Through the wooden door, one could hear Gu Nanxi's hearty laughter: "Hahaha, Yunyan did a great job!"
Cui Sanlun also smiled with his eyebrows curved: "A tiger mother will have a dog daughter. Yunyan is becoming more and more capable."
Yulang also had a good impression of this niece whom he had never met: "With only 16 people, we persuaded Gaochang, Karakhan Khan, and Khotan to submit to us. Such an achievement is enough to be recorded in the history books!"
A young girl who was less than 20 years old, setting out from Western Xia with only a dozen people, was able to convince the Three Kingdoms.
Courage, wisdom, eloquence, and the ability to respond to emergencies are all indispensable!
As expected of a general’s daughter who once defended the city alone, she follows Gu Nanxi in every aspect!
Cui Sanlun's eyes were moist. He seemed to be able to see the map that Gu Nanxi had once drawn being pieced together piece by piece.
Perhaps in his lifetime, he will really be able to see a new dynasty with an extremely vast territory, an extremely prosperous population, an extremely developed economy, and an extremely powerful military!
"Yunyan said in the letter that they cried with joy when they learned that little Nanxi had taken over Jingdu. Inspired by this, she and Meitang took over the three kingdoms in one fell swoop as a gift to Nanxi for her ascension to the throne."
Although he has not ascended the throne yet, I would like to present you with gifts in advance.
After hearing these words, Yulang was even more satisfied with Su Yunyan.
That’s right, Gu Nanxi’s child should be so generous and ambitious!
Several people read Su Yunyan's letter several times, and they had to say that this girl really liked to take unconventional approaches, just like her mother.
Gaochang, Khotan, and Karakhan were all Buddhist countries. Although they had conflicts in doctrines, when facing non-Buddhist countries, the three of them would advance and retreat together.
After analyzing the situations of various countries with Mei Tang, Su Yunyan decided to start with Gaochang.
Gaochang has a hot climate with little rain. In midsummer, the locals dig holes in the ground.
Water was channeled into canals around the capital, but heavy rains exceeding five inches would damage houses.
In summer, birds often fall due to sunburn.
Cotton is produced in many places in Gaosheng. Once it returns to Yunzhou, Yunzhou's textile industry will enter a high-speed development channel.
The supreme ruler of Gaochang was called Yidu Hu, with the courtesy name Asilan Khan, and it was a hereditary system.
The contemporary Yiduhu is over sixty years old, but has great prestige.
Su Yunyan also learned that Gaochang's capital, Gaochang City, imitated the layout of Chang'an, with a city wall 12 meters thick and 11.5 meters high. Even with firearms, it would not be easy to take it down.
So, Su Yunyan decided to outsmart herself.
She first sent Mei Tang to contact Yidu Hu, and learned that he was caught between the Uighurs and was wavering.
Later, Mei Tang found out that his three sons, who were in their prime, were all born to noble Uighur women, and were more inclined to Uighur in terms of blood relationship.
Cui Sanlun clicked his tongue: "Meitang is a wicked guy. He has set his eyes on Yidu Hu's nephew!"
Gu Nanxi smiled and said, "That's right. His nephew prefers our Yunzhou. There are three legitimate heirs above him. If he wants to secure his throne, he must rely on our Yunzhou."
Su Yunyan and Mei Tang indeed thought so.
Then the only obstacle standing in their way was Yidu Hu, who was too prestigious in Gaochang. With him around, his three sons and nephew would not fight.
Su Yunyan is both mean and fierce.
Since they couldn't kill Yidu Hu openly and bring hatred to Yunzhou, and they couldn't assassinate him, they could only blame it on natural disasters.
Su Yunyan asked Yiduhu to come out of the city to see her, under the pretext of asking him for advice on Buddhism.
The time was set at noon on a sunny day.
Yidu Hu did not dare to offend the Uighurs, nor did he want to provoke Yunzhou, so he had to leave the city.
Before setting off, this bad girl Su Yunyan drank two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and the water bag she carried with her was also filled with Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
As long as I can't outlast you, I will keep on outlasting you.
It is so hot at noon in Gaochang in summer that even flying birds can get sunburned.
Yidu Hu felt dizzy from the sun, but Su Yunyan refused to let him leave.
After several hours of sun exposure, Su Yunyan let go when she saw Yiduhu was about to pass out from the sun.
One is an old man in his sixties, and the other is a young girl under twenty years old, who was cheating by bringing Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.
Is there any need to think about who will outlast whom?
As soon as Yidu Hu returned, he fell ill.
Elderly people in this age group either do not get sick at all, or once they do, their bodies’ diseases are like a reservoir releasing a flood, and all kinds of diseases appear.
Yidu Hu did not survive and died within five days, without even having time to leave a will.
His nephew was well prepared and quickly defeated the three heirs and ascended the throne.
The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to write a letter to Yunzhou, requesting submission to Yunzhou and sending an envoy to personally deliver the letter to Kyoto.
Yu Lang praised him endlessly: "You are brave and resourceful, and you defeated the enemy without fighting. It's really great!"
Gu Nanxi felt both proud and distressed. Even if Su Yunyan was as strong as an ox and had a strong physique, she couldn't be exposed to the scorching sun like that.
“This is a trick.”
Cui Sanlun blew his beard and glared: "What do you mean by taking shortcuts? It's obviously a capable person! Why don't others come up with this method? No, even if they come up with it, they may not have the physique of Yunyan!"
"Haha, Yunyan is your little darling now. Even I can't say anything to her."
"Children should be praised when they deserve it. Look how beautifully she has done it!"
Ever since we occupied Kyoto, there have been worries and troubles everywhere. The news brought by Su Yunyan is indeed good news.
Cui Sanlun: "Let Yunzhou Weekly publicize this matter tomorrow. The previous dynasty was the Heavenly Khan, so we are not much different!"
Yulang: "How about we wait until we meet the envoys from the three countries before publishing this in the newspaper?"
Gu Nanxi nodded: "Alright, this is safer."
Su Xuanming stood at the door for a long time, but ultimately did not knock and went in.
Among three children, who should be the heir?
The strategies here are made up by me, they are not history.
