Ning Que did not spoil the fun this time.
He just told the story of how he conquered Dragon City.
And how did they capture Shuofang later?
There was no mention of casualties.
The elderly elders were also very emotional.
Prince Ning's lineage is quite unique.
Only after going to the battlefield can one be considered an adult.
Ning Que fought quite beautifully this time.
From now on there will be no more doubts.
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
"Everyone eats and drinks well today."
"Please move your chopsticks! The food is getting cold."
"promise!"
Ning Que sat down again.
The food on the table is mainly stewed.
The braised pork is stewed until soft and tender, with a bright red color; the refreshing and tender tofu mixed with green onions is fragrant and smooth; and the fish balls specially prepared for the elderly are also very chewy.
Shen Qinghe likes it very much.
In the frontier, meals were mostly barbecue or dried meat. Vegetables and fruits were almost nonexistent. As for the palace banquets, Shen Qinghe had to consider her image and didn't eat much.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ning Que asked them to take any leftovers home. After all, there were only so many people in the ancestral home, and the food on these dozens of tables couldn't be finished at all, and even in cold weather, it wouldn't keep for a few days.
"call……"
Shen Qinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Ning Que.
"You're really welcome."
“Many of them grew up watching me.”
Ning Que smiled when he saw how tired she looked.
"You've been tired these days, take a rest first."
"I still have to look at the marriage certificate."
"Um."
Shen Qinghe yawned.
It is not that complicated for ordinary people to hold weddings.
The main reason was that he was a prince, and this matter had a bearing on the Dafeng state system, so it had to be handled with great fanfare. Every detail had to be perfect, and no mistakes could be made. For example, several states had already sent envoys to attend his wedding.
"Uncle Fu, are the wedding paper and clothes ready?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything has been decided long ago." Uncle Fu bowed and handed the large red gift list to Ning Que. "Here is the gift book. Please review it, Your Highness."
"good."
The Dafeng wedding is mainly based on three books and six ceremonies.
The three books are the engagement letter, the gift letter and the welcoming letter.
The gift book is also commonly known as the gift list among the people.
It is sent to the woman's family during the betrothal ceremony.
The gifts and quantities are recorded in detail above.
This gift book must be kept well.
It even has to be handed over to the elders for care.
"Is my master's house ready?"
"Yes." Uncle Fu nodded. "The prince instructed me, and I dare not forget it. Pavilion Master Bu likes quietness, so he bought the Gao family's mountain and water manor, which is about a hundred acres. He also provided servants and everything, and renovated it."
"OK."
Ning Que nodded with satisfaction.
Uncle Fu was a good steward, though perhaps not as thorough as Uncle Shou, but he was well-known in Chang'an as a steward.
As for Shanshui Manor, it comes from the Gao family.
When Master comes, Shen Qinghe will have to move in too.
After all, you can't stay in the palace when you welcome the bride.
"Also, Mr. Yu sent someone to come."
"What's the matter?"
"The Six Arts Poetry Festival will be held in a few days," Uncle Fu handed over the invitation. "The envoys from Goguryeo have arrived in Chang'an, and they will also attend the poetry festival. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, Mr. Yu would like to invite His Majesty to preside over it."
"Goguryeo..."
"Yes." Yu Ji nodded and whispered, "Ten years ago, the Silla rebels attacked northward and defeated Goguryeo, thereby claiming the title of king. Their current mission to Dafeng is intended to shed their vassal status and establish themselves as the legitimate regime."
"I know."
This matter is quite complicated.
The previous emperor had disliked Goguryeo since his time.
However, my father was stationed in Xiliang at the time and could not escape. The late emperor ordered the Prince of Qi to lead his troops in two consecutive attacks on Goguryeo. However, the first two attacks were unsuccessful and resulted in heavy casualties.
The exasperated Emperor dispatched the old King Ning and once again launched his army against Goguryeo. This time, they advanced with great force, even breaking through the Goguryeo capital and forcing them to move their capital.
Originally, the old King Ning wanted to destroy Goguryeo, but a severe cold weather arrived, and water froze to ice. Due to insufficient preparation, many soldiers froze to death or suffered frostbite. The old King Ning realized that the situation was dire and had no choice but to evacuate.
The battle was won, as they captured over ten Goguryeo cities, killed over 100,000 enemies and captured over 100,000 prisoners, and seized countless supplies. This completely deprived Goguryeo of control over Liaodong, forcing them to watch from afar across the river.
But everyone in Dafeng thought it was not possible. According to their thinking, they should capture the king of Goguryeo and incorporate all of its territory into Dafeng to win. As for Dafeng, the history books don't record much about it, just a brief mention.
The result is funny...
Goguryeo propaganda won the battle!
He also seriously injured the old King Ning!
The late emperor pondered for three days and nights, but still couldn't understand Goguryeo's thinking process. How could they have the nerve to advertise their victory when they were forced to move their capital?
The key is that their people believed it!
Everyone felt that they had defeated Dafeng.
In this mood, Goguryeo fell...
Because Dafeng launched a proxy war.
He instigated Silla in the south to overthrow Goguryeo.
As long as they come to pay tribute every year, it will be fine.
But Silla became even more shameless after coming to power.
They call themselves the orthodox of Central Plains.
Dafeng and Dashang are both their descendants.
The seal characters used in Dafeng were also invented by them.
The festivals they celebrate are all theirs.
In reality, it was a small country with few people, driven by pride. Their leaders knew everything, but they were ultimately a rebellious regime. To consolidate their power, they had to publicize their own greatness. Even if they were ridiculed by outsiders, as long as the people at the bottom of Goguryeo believed them, it was enough.
In the past two years, Goguryeo has become increasingly dishonest.
To maintain their rule, they had to keep winning. They were eager to demonstrate their strength and certainly did not want to continue paying tribute.
This time, they came here ostensibly to attend a wedding banquet, but in reality, just like the Liao Kingdom in the past, they used the wedding banquet as a provocation, or even a declaration of war, hoping to completely break away from Dafeng's control.
In fact, from Fengdi's perspective, he had no intention of attacking Goguryeo. This place was incredibly poor, with only the Silla maids being somewhat famous. Every winter, it was even colder than in Liaodong, freezing people to death.
Furthermore, the distance between them was too great, making it difficult for Dafeng to gain effective control. They were like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to discard. In fact, as long as Goguryeo maintained its tribute, Dafeng would not bother to deal with them.
But the past two years have become increasingly unstable.
They even dared to deploy troops on the Liaodong border.
Ning Que put down the gift list and said calmly, "Tell Mr. Yu that I will arrive at the Six Arts as scheduled. As for Goguryeo, don't worry. I will take care of it myself."
"promise."
Uncle Fu raised his head.
"Your Majesty, are you going to deal with Goguryeo?"
"If the children don't behave well, they will be spanked."
Ning Que smiled, but it wasn't a smile.
Looking at the hanging map of the territory.
The young soldiers are eager to achieve great things.
It just so happened that he wanted to use Goguryeo to deal with the King of Qi.
This bastard Tian Zhongxun has always been restless.
The death of his father and brother is most likely related to him!
