Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Subtlety
Chapter 540: Subtle
When she entered, she saw Princess Aruna sitting upright on a straw mat, and Somegova stood behind her, carefully combed her hair as black as a waterfall. The ropes of her hands and feet had been untied, obviously Somegova made it.
Seeing Zhang Haotian coming in, Princess Aruna immediately turned her face and Someigowa hurried to salute, and then said, "Prince, I took my own initiative to untie the princess' rope, but the princess promised me that she would not commit suicide even if she ran away."
Hearing Somegova say this, Princess Aruna turns her head and says, "I promised you, the devil, not to harass me, so I won't commit suicide. If he dares..., I would rather die than let him succeed."
Someigova gave Zhang Haotian a wink, signaling him to be patient, and then walked to Princess Aruna with a smile and said, "Princess, didn't I tell you, the prince is not a demon, he is the best man in the world, otherwise he would not have left last night, and the great shaman was still blaming him."
Princess Aruna snorted, but her attitude improved a lot. Obviously, Zhang Haotian's actions last night at least gave her the first good impression in her heart.
Zhang Haotian was determined to destroy her arrogance, walked to her and said in a deep voice: "Aruna, you don't have to thank me, but you should be grateful to the Han culture. In the Han culture, there is no need to take advantage of others and respect women's education. The Mongolian culture is the strong as respect. If I steal you, you must be my wife and have children for me. It seems that you prefer Han culture."
Princess Aruna knew what Mongolian culture was like, so she could only say: "You learned the things of the Han people and made things difficult for you, but I can't tell you."
Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "I know that Dariachi will not let you learn the culture of the Han people, but our Tatarot tribe is different. We have retained the traditions of the Mongolians, but we also absorbed the essence of the Han people. Somegaowa is younger than you, but she is more sensible than you and knows what the truth is. You should learn from her."
Speaking of this, he said: "Somegaowa, during this period, you will tell Princess Aruna about the Han culture you have learned so that she can know whether it is the Han culture better or the Mongolian culture better."
Someigova nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll tell Princess Aruna, but I'm afraid Princess Aruna won't understand."
Princess Aruna smiled coldly when she heard this, and said, "Oh, the Han culture is so difficult to learn. I want to see and refute you when I hear it."
When Zhang Haotian saw that Sumegaowa could use provocation, the girl was not very old, but she was calm, sensible, gentle and considerate, and had already won his favor. Unexpectedly, her mind was so smart, she couldn't help but praise her secretly.
But at this time he had to cooperate with Somegova and understand that using provocation to a proud girl like Princess Aruna is the best way to nod, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to refute me. If you can say anything to me, I will apologize to you and admit my mistakes, and send you out of the desert and back to your grandfather."
Princess Aruna immediately said, "Okay, Hadanbatel, you said this. With Somegova testified, you are not allowed to repent."
Seeing that she was energetic, Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "I said it, and I will never regret it. This way, I have sent someone to Shanbala City to give up Dariachi from the Mamu Valley. Even if he agrees, we will prepare it. It will take about a month, and I will give you twenty days. If you think Mongolian culture is better than Han culture, please convince me."
Princess Aruna said, "No problem, but you are not allowed to harass me in these twenty days."
When Zhang Haotian heard this, he suddenly felt like he had become a hooligan. He sighed secretly, agreed, and walked out.
However, he knew very well that Han culture was far more advanced than Mongolian culture, and had a strong attraction and assimilation. At the beginning, the ancestors of the Tatarot tribe started from Tolei Khan to the later Mongolian Khan, and Kublai Khan became very interested as soon as they came into contact with them. The rules and laws of the Yuan Dynasty also followed most of the Han system. Princess Aruna lived in Shanbala for a long time and learned traditional Mongolian things. She had never been exposed to Han culture. She could be called a "frog in the well". A corner of the sky outside was enough to make her intoxicated and yearn for her.
Waiting for the people sent to Shanbara City to bring back the message, two days later, the news came back. As Uenji expected, when the messenger of the Tatarot tribe arrived at Shanbara City, he explained the conditions for exchanging Princess Aruna, he agreed immediately, but asked for a month to move the Nop tribe who lives in it, and asked the Tatarot tribe to ensure that Princess Aruna should not be harmed during this period. Otherwise, the Morgen tribe would be incompatible with the Tatarot tribe from then on until the last person of the Tatarot tribe was wiped out.
Hearing the conditions of Dariachi, Zhang Haotian asked the messenger to rest for a night before going to Shanbala City to reply to Dariachi. He also agreed to him to put forward the conditions. A month later, he led the people from the tribe to the Mamu Valley.
After the messenger left, the people of the Tatarot tribe learned that they were going back to the grassland. Everyone cheered excitedly, and even the music played by the old man's horse-head fiddle became cheerful.
However, Zhang Haotian, Wu Enqi, and the leaders of the Tatarot tribe, such as Zhang Haotian, Wu Enqi, and Sidaoutu, knew that even if they left the desert and arrived at the Mamu Valley where the lake was clear and the grass was plump, another crisis would follow. If they did not reconcile with the Morgent tribe and reached an alliance, this crisis would not be overcome. The people of the Tatarot tribe would inevitably splash blood in the Mamu Valley.
In the following period, the people of the Tatarot tribe were preparing to move out of the desert. Zhang Haotian practiced swords and guns every day, and the training of the Tatarot tribe soldiers was led by Idler and Xu Rigan. They had many years of experience, so Zhang Haotian naturally would not intervene.
Twenty days passed without realizing it. In the evening of that day, Zhang Haotian returned to the yurt after seeing the training of the Tatarot soldiers. Wurina, who served him with Sumegaowa, served the meal. Wurina was quite honest and silent. Her communication with Zhang Haotian was far inferior to Somegaowa, but Zhang Haotian didn't care.
Just after dinner, I was about to ride a horse to the desert and gallop when I saw Someigowa coming in and bow to him to say hello.
Zhang Haotian quickly asked her to sit beside him and said, "I'm about to call you here, how is Princess Aruna now?"
Someigaowa smiled slightly and said, "Prince, I will bring you two news, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Zhang Haotian said: "Listen to the bad news first."
Somegova immediately said: "The bad news is that Princess Aruna still hates you very much. She keeps saying that you are a devil, and her anger seems to have not subsided."
Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "If she wants to hate her, just hate her. What is the good news?"
Somegowa smiled and said, "Although you snatch the bride, it is a good thing for Princess Aruna, because she doesn't like Prince Aldon Leng's sixth son Bayan Delehei at all. He said that he was a big fool as big as a bear when he was a child. This time, it was because Bayan Delehei liked her and proposed to Prince Aldon Leng. He is the youngest son of Prince Aldon Leng and the favorite son of Prince Aldon Leng. So Prince Aldon Leng went to Shanbala City in person and proposed to Prince Dariachi. Although Prince Dariachi was not very willing, the Boyan tribe is now the largest tribe among the Mongolian royal family. Prince Aldon Leng is also the supreme ruler of the Holy Mausoleum forbidden area, and he cannot refuse."
Speaking of this, she said again: "Aruna knew that her grandfather wanted to marry her to Bayanderhei, and she refused to do so for three days. However, Prince Dariachi told her that she was willing to marry and would marry even if she didn't want to, because in the Mongolian royal family, men and women, they were destined to give up their preferences for the tribe and family. The Morgen tribe had had old grudges with the Boyan tribe and the Yitai tribe for thousands of years, and the Boyan tribe had only intermarried with the Yitai tribe. The two royal family had close contacts. After destroying the Tatarot tribe, they were likely to attack the Morgen tribe. Now the Boyan tribe came to propose marriage, which is a great good thing for the Morgen tribe. Not only did she want to marry, but after marrying the Boyan tribe, she also had to try every means to win the favor of Bayanderhei and Aldunne, so that the Morgen tribe could be preserved."
Hearing Someigova's words, Zhang Haotian was happy. What she said was indeed good news for the Tatarot tribe. The ancestor of the Morgen tribe, Shu Chi, was originally a son of a foreign tribe and a shame for the Saint Genghis Khan. Although the Saint Tribe finally recognized the eldest son with superhuman magnanimity, Ogedei, the ancestor of the Boyan tribe and Chagatai, the ancestor of the Itat tribe, have always looked down on him. During the friction, several small wars occurred. Later, the ancestor of the Tatarot tribe, Torei, mediated in the middle. All the Mongols almost knew that Dariachi destroyed the Tatarot tribe and the Morgen tribe for thousands of years due to greed and jealousy, and eventually they would inevitably make their own bitter fruits. Now he has tasted it, which is of course beneficial to his plan to lead the Tatarot tribe and the Morgen tribe to re-alliance.
He looked at Somegova and said, "By the way, how has Princess Aruna learned about Han culture?"
Someigaowa said: "I don't know much about the culture of the Han people, so I taught some principles and mottos about how Han people deal with people."
Zhang Haotian knew that the Han culture spread in the Tatarot tribe was the Confucianism that the Tatarot tribe had come into contact with in China during the Yuan Dynasty. The motto she said was "The Analects of Confucius", so he nodded and said, "How did Princess Aruna react after learning it?"
Someigaowa said, "It seems that I like it very much. She also told me that the Han people are not as fierce as us Mongolians. They love to fight and kill all day long. Although the Han people's Three Obediences and Four Virtues are very unfair to women, it is much better than the Mongolian custom of robbing brides."
Zhang Haotian smiled slightly when he heard this. He had long expected this result. Confucianism emphasizes etiquette, righteousness, benevolence and morality. For men who regard bravery as the first principle, they may not be able to listen to it. However, women's nature like peace and etiquette, and their acceptance of Han culture is definitely higher than that of men.
At this moment, Someigova looked at him, but her eyes became worried, and said, "Prince, I know that in ten days, the Tatarot tribe will go to the Mamu Valley, but the people of the three royal families will not let us go. Princess Aruna seems impossible to fall in love with you immediately, so what should you do."
Zhang Haotian pondered for a while and said, "It is indeed difficult to force a person to like it by force. The past plan may have to change. Someigaowa, you go back first, let me think about it carefully, and come to your place later."
