Chapter 79 Nanzhao Kingdom
The unofficial history "Hulun" records many things about the past.
There was a country in the past whose territory was vast, comparable to that of the Yuan Dynasty. It was called Nanzhao.
Unlike other countries' systems, this country respects women, and all the subjects, including the king of that country, are women.
The last empress of Nanzhao, respected by the world, was called Empress Yun.
Because the country was vast, the subjects lived and worked in peace and contentment, the king worked hard to govern the country, and the country developed rapidly. Surprisingly, she had only one husband and they loved each other very much. It was this irrational behavior that led to the inability to achieve a balance between the former dynasty and the harem, with treacherous ministers at home, and troubles both inside and outside, and powerful enemies coming from outside.
The city gate was lost, and the allied forces of the two countries trampled through the vast mountains and rivers of Nanzhao and approached the capital.
It is said that the female general Lu Zheng can take the head of an enemy general among thousands of people. No one on the battlefield is not afraid of Lu Zheng's killing reputation.
But in order to protect the royal family, she died in the conspiracy of a traitor.
Yun Zhuan read the unofficial history carefully and was shocked.
I don't know why, but I always feel a sense of familiarity.
Nanzhao was defeated, the empress and her husband died for their country, and the Nanzhao Crown Princess, who was less than three or five days old, disappeared.
Or maybe he died in the fire, we don't know.
The more Yun Zhuan read, the more his hands shook as he turned the pages.
There are also portraits of Emperor Yun of Nanzhao and her husband. They are both beautiful and look like a perfect match made in heaven.
How is that possible?
Her real father should be Yun Ke, and her mother suffered heavy bleeding due to dystocia when giving birth to her.
There were no such extra things in my previous life.
Why does it happen in this life?
Yun Zhuan was extremely panicked. He heard footsteps coming from the study and looked up subconsciously.
The man had washed and changed his clothes. He had a refined temperament, clear and clean eyes, and a fair face with slight traces of age, but they were not obvious. He was indeed very elegant and had a scholarly air.
Judging from his age, he is probably in his thirties.
"Are you surprised to see me like this?" The man limped over with a smile in his eyes, "Why don't you guess my age? If you guess it right, I'll tell you my name."
Yun Zhuan said softly, "You are about thirty years old, right? You are from Nanzhao."
The man lowered his eyes and saw Yun Zhuan holding a copy of Hulun in his hand: "This book is an official history, it was passed down from the Nanzhao Kingdom, and most of what is recorded in it is true."
Yun Ju'an looked down and saw that it was the side with the portrait.
The man in front of him seemed to be not only proficient in martial arts, but also in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and singing.
Yun Zhuan didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He brought the person back in a daze and didn't even know the person's name.
"My name is Bai Ye, and my courtesy name is Guannan," the man whispered. "I'm about fifty years old this year, which is considered a long life."
Yun Ju'an was frightened and raised his head quickly, but the man in front of him was clearly just a gentleman, without any trace of old age.
Fifty years old already?
Bai Ye, also known by his courtesy name Guannan.
I observe that all sentient beings in Nanyanfuti have every thought and action that is an action and a sin.
Is that what you mean?
"That's right." Bai Ye took the book from Yun Zhuan and put it back. "I see that they are the people of Nanyan Futi, which is the origin of my courtesy name."
"From now on, if Your Highness wants to know something, you can just ask directly. You don't have to read these books. Most of them have been retouched and are not very interesting."
Yun Zhuan blushed immediately. She had actually said it out loud when she was thinking about it just now.
He coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.
"Who is he originally?" Yun Zhuan's mind was still focused on the part introducing Bai Ye.
That's right, when Bai Ye came, she had already read it and turned the page.
Bai Ye was the Taifu of the Nanzhao Kingdom. He passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar as a man. The Nanzhao Emperor, the mother of Emperor Yun, did not mind it and even arranged an official position for him.
He became the Taifu of Emperor Yun.
Later, because of his proficiency in divination, astrology, and his proficiency in both civil and military affairs, he became a favorite of the late Nanzhao Emperor.
Unexpectedly, after experiencing the prosperity and fall of a dynasty, he was able to maintain the same appearance.
This person not only holds a high status in the Nanzhao Kingdom, but is also highly respected by students in Biansha, Beichu, and Yuan.
His clear principles and open-minded attitude towards life have also alleviated the anxiety of many students.
Bai Ye once represented the Nanzhao Kingdom in a gathering banquet. He was eloquent, debated with many scholars, and had an elegant demeanor. He became a highlight of the banquet at that time. Anyone who had participated in the banquet could remember his demeanor.
Everyone in the world who knows his name respectfully calls him "Sir".
Bai Ye smiled and said, "He is just a scholar, who reads books and discusses essays every day. He is just an ordinary person."
Yun Zhuan asked somewhat inappropriately: "If the Nanzhao Kingdom had not been destroyed, would you have become the Crown Princess's teacher?"
"Probably, after all, I was your Majesty's teacher." Bai Ye said with a smile, "But the Crown Princess is so noble that she doesn't need a lame teacher."
As he spoke, he lifted his other leg mockingly and said nonchalantly, "This leg was shot in the meridians by the enemy while trying to save your majesty and the emperor's husband. I fell from the city wall, and then I didn't get timely treatment, so I ended up in this state now."
"Later, Northern Chu supported a puppet empress, and today's Nanzhao Kingdom is just trying to prolong its life."
Yun Yu'an and Bai Ye walked out of the study. The sunlight outside was not as strong anymore.
"Who is the Puppet Queen?"
"Nan Wu is a soft-tempered and uneducated girl." Bai Ye said expressionlessly, "She is your mother's biological sister."
Yun Zhuan corrected her seriously: "She is Emperor Yun's biological sister, not my mother's."
Yun Zhuan's mother's surname happened to be Nan, the Nan family, a famous and prominent family in Huainan Prefecture, and they had not been in contact for many years.
She just wanted to understand these adventures and did not think that the Nanzhao Kingdom had anything to do with her.
Bai Ye couldn't deny it. If he wanted the little girl in front of him to believe his origins, he had to have evidence.
I have been wandering for more than ten years. Even if I have evidence, I still need to go to the ruins of the old Nanzhao tribe to look for it.
The only thing he knew was that the Crown Princess of Nanzhao had a red mole on her clavicle when she was born.
So when Bai Ye saw Yun Zhuan for the first time, he was very sure.
This Yun Zhuan is the person I am looking for.
It’s okay if you can’t accept it temporarily.
I hope she can take it on one day sooner or later.
Lu'e came in hurriedly and was surprised to see an elegant man in the young lady's room:
"Miss……"
"This is my new hire. His last name is Bai. You can call him Mr. Bai." Yun Zhuan said calmly, "What happened?"
Lu'e then greeted Mr. Bai and said:
"Miss, this is an invitation from the Su family, inviting you to attend the chrysanthemum viewing banquet in three days."
Yun Zhuan thought that he had not yet thanked the Su family, so it would be a good idea to take this opportunity.
Mid-Autumn Festival is exactly seven days away.
It happens to be a day for family reunion.
"Take it. Also, ask the craftsmen at home to build a four-wheeled vehicle for you." Yun Ju'an whispered, "You are not able to walk well, so this will be a convenience for you."
Bai Ye was startled, then a gentle and comforting smile appeared on his face: "Thank you."
His martial arts skills are slowly deteriorating, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure his leg.
It would be much more convenient to have a four-wheeled vehicle.
Watch and cherish, change
