Chapter 950: Mutual Dislike and Mutual Envy
"Madam Xian, you are truly righteous," Li Wu looked at Madam Xian. She had experienced three dynasties, and every time a dynasty changed, she would experience various wars. However, Madam Xian had her own power, but she never thought of establishing herself as a king. Really, this alone was already very rare.
Lady Xian just smiled. This was not a matter of righteousness or not. The main reason was that the Chen Dynasty had already perished at that time, and she had a letter from Emperor Chen Houzhu. Plus, she didn't want another war, so she surrendered to the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Wen of Sui did a pretty good job, and that was enough. She was just afraid that the emperor would be incompetent and the people would have a hard time.
“Wei Guang was able to settle in Lingnan smoothly.
Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty conferred the title of Lady of Song Kang County on you, Lady Xian.
Soon, rebellions broke out in many places in Lingnan, and the rebels surrounded Wei Guang in the state capital.
Madam Xian, please send your grandson Feng Xuan to lead troops to rescue Wei Guang.
But who would have thought that Feng Xuan was on good terms with Chen Fozhi, a general under the rebel Wang Zhongxuan, so he deliberately kept his troops in place.
When Madam Xian learned about this, she was furious and immediately sent people to put Feng Xuan in the state prison.
Later, Lady Xian, you sent another grandson, Feng Ang, to join the expedition.
After Feng Ang suppressed the rebellion, Madam Xian, you personally put on armor and rode a horse, commanding the cavalry to escort the envoys sent by the court to inspect the Lingnan provinces.
The leaders of those tribes came to pay homage, and Lady Xian then ordered all the tribes under their rule to submit to the Sui Dynasty.
The Lingnan region was finally stabilized again.
After Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian knew about your deeds, Lady Xian.
Impressed by your bravery and talent, Madam Xian, I appointed Feng Ang as the governor of Gaozhou.
Because you, Madam Xian, are loyal to the court and have made contributions to the frontier, Feng Xuan was pardoned for his crime of lingering and was appointed as the governor of Luozhou.
In fact, this is also to appease you, Madam Xian. We can't really punish Feng Ang, right?
After all, you have just surrendered. If you punish Feng Xuan at this time, it will cause trouble again. The emperor is not a fool. "
Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian in front of the sky curtain did not want to speak. He did not want to say anything about what the little immortal said. If his subjects committed such a crime, they would naturally be punished, but Feng Xuan was different. He could not punish him and he even had to be magnanimous.
In order to make Lingnan surrender, it is natural to appease the people's hearts first. There is nothing strange about this.
Any emperor with any brains would not care about this matter.
Lady Xian just nodded, Emperor Wen of Sui was indeed very good.
"I also posthumously awarded your husband Feng Bao the title of Governor of Guangzhou and Duke of Qiao, and canonized you as Lady of Qiao. At the same time, I also allowed you to establish the Qiao government, allowing you to appoint officials below the rank of Chief Secretary, and to mobilize the troops of the six states of the tribe at will.
Even Empress Dugu gave you, Madam Xian, banquet clothes and jewelry.
Madam Xian, you sealed these rewards, together with the gifts from the Liang and Chen dynasties, in a warehouse.
Every year you would hold a grand meeting and display all the rewards given by the three dynasties in the main hall.
To warn and encourage the tribesmen to be loyal to the country.
This is indeed a good idea," Li Wu nodded and told his people that they should be loyal to the country, and there would always be people who would listen.
Ban Zhao and Feng Ling just looked at Madam Xian. They didn't know what to say now. In short, they admired Madam Xian very much.
Lingnan, they naturally knew what that place was. Many serious criminals of the imperial court were exiled to Lingnan.
"Later, the governor of Fanzhou, Zhao Ne, became greedy and cruel, and many of the native tribes rebelled and died.
Madam Xian, you ordered the chief historian to record Zhao Ne's crimes.
After Emperor Wen of Sui obtained evidence of Zhao Ne's corruption, he brought him to justice and issued an imperial decree to entrust Madam Xian with the task of comforting the defectors and rebels.
Madam Xian, you personally carried the imperial edict and toured more than ten states in Lingnan.
Madam Xian, wherever you went, the people surrendered to the court one by one.
Later, Emperor Wen of Sui granted Lady Xian the "Tangmu Town" of Linzhen County with 1,500 households.
In 602 AD, Lady Xian passed away. Emperor Wen of Sui gave her a thousand pieces of gifts and posthumously named her Lady Chengjing.
Both "Book of Sui" and "Book of Northern History" have biographies of you, Lady Xian.
I have finished telling you about your deeds, Madam Xian."
After hearing about Madam Xian's deeds, Li Wu felt extremely impressed.
She conquered Lingnan and insisted on submitting to the orthodoxy. She is the first heroine!
"Thank you, little immortal," Madam Xian felt deeply moved after hearing her story. Although most of her life had passed, she couldn't help but reminisce when she heard the little immortal talk about the past.
Her ending was not bad either. It was enough that someone could remember her. She didn't ask for anything else.
"Madam Xian, you are truly a heroine," Ban Zhao said, raising her glass. She really admired and liked women who did not need to rely on others and could stand on their own. She felt that women should be like this.
Instead of being forgotten by history, as if it had never existed.
"Senior Ban Zhao, you are too kind. I have heard of you as a woman of great talent. Unfortunately, I am a rough man and I only know how to wield swords and guns. I admire people with literary talent like you the most," said Lady Xian. She was literate, of course, but she could not compose poems like those literati.
"I admire you, Madam Xian, for being able to ride a horse into battle and kill the enemy. How wonderful it is." Ban Zhao sometimes envied those women who could gallop on horses. She was a quiet person and liked to read books quietly.
Sometimes I want to ride a horse, but I have never done it.
The two of them got along better and better as they talked. Li Wu started eating silently and exchanged a glance with Feng Ling. The two of them ate the watermelon and smiled at each other.
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain heard what Ban Zhao and Lady Xian said, and in fact, it was true.
Although scholars and military generals often conflict with each other and dislike each other, they sometimes envy each other.
The literati envy the military generals for being able to be themselves and be carefree, and the military generals also envy the literati for being able to read and write.
Many ancestors were talking about this matter in the barrage. After seeing it, some literati and military generals looked at the court. After seeing each other, they were immediately furious.
There is nothing much to talk about. The little bit of understanding and touching they showed just now were all fake. They still dislike each other very much.
Fortunately, Li Wu didn’t see the barrage, otherwise he would have died of laughter in the barrage and wouldn’t have been able to get out.
Li Wu and Feng Ling were picking food for each other and introducing which one was more delicious, and from time to time they listened to Ban Zhao and Lady Xian chatting.
"Little fairy, I just remembered that you didn't seem to tell me how long Madam Xian lived," Feng Ling asked. The little fairy did tell her how long she and Ban Zhao lived.
Ban Zhao and Lady Xian also heard it. Ban Zhao said, "Indeed, it seems that no one said it."
Madam Xian looked at Li Wu. If Senior Feng Ling hadn’t told her, she would have almost forgotten it. Alas, she was getting old, getting old, and her memory wasn’t very good.
