Chapter 57 three

Less than two months after the bloody incident in the palace tent that King Timur was proud of, Khalil actually did another shocking thing.In a short period of time, he became the bridegroom twice under the inconceivable eyes of everyone, and this time, he married the most beloved woman in his life - Sha Duo Luo Le. Sha Duo Luole was originally the wife of the nobleman Khan Fudin. People say that she has a beautiful appearance and a graceful dancing posture, which is rare in the world, but in my impression, she is just a beautiful woman who is both arrogant and frivolous.It is said that Khalil first met her at a family dinner hosted by Khafuddin and has been fascinated by her ever since.After that, he used all means to force Khan Fudin to dedicate Shaduo Luole to him.Not only that, it was rumored that in order to marry Sadorole, Khalil would hold the most grand wedding ever in the palace tent.

However, neither Princess Oeira nor I attended this extravagant wedding. I might be able to forgive Khalil for not telling Shah Ruh all about his bad deeds, but I still hate him in my bones.Because, if it weren't for him, the princess's health wouldn't go from bad to worse.Not only did I refuse to attend the wedding, but I also refused to design any jewelry for Khalil's bride.On the grounds that I was frightened and lost my inspiration, after obtaining the permission of Princess Hanza, I took the princess back to Sethia Cave to recuperate, so as to avoid Khalil's entanglement.

By the time we returned to Samarkand from Sethia Cave, Khalil's wedding had been over for nearly half a year.We've heard a few things, and things seem to have an impact on Khalil. Sodu told us—not that he saw it with his own eyes, but only some rumors he heard—that since he married Sartorole, Khalil refused to go to the rooms of other wives.He guards Sha Duo Luo Le every day, never leaving.Her dancing posture made him intoxicated, and her singing made him obsessed. He guarded her desperately like this, forgetting that he was a king, and there were other things in the world waiting for him to deal with.Such a result can be imagined. A woman firmly occupies a man who belongs to many women, and demands his sex and love without restraint. It is impossible for her selfishness not to arouse deep jealousy from other women.These women are also Khalil's wives and concubines. They even have more status and status than Sha Duo Luo Le, and they are also youthful and beautiful. However, they have to endure the proud and wanton laughter of a woman who came from behind.

Jealousy, like a scar in my heart, was torn bloody by shame.And grievances are like fermented wine, the deeper they are buried, the stronger they become. The princess couldn't help but be concerned by Khalil's behavior.Though she said nothing, I knew that she foresaw an inevitable misfortune more keenly than I. Although she didn't know what kind of misfortune would eventually appear in front of Khalil. Some talkative person reported the news of the princess's return to Sha Duo Luole. On the third day after we came back, this woman suddenly sent someone to invite the princess to her palace tent.Shaduo Luole's palace tent originally belonged to Queen Tuma, who was received by Shaharu before King Timur's Eastern Expedition, and the palace tent has been empty since then.Not long after Khalil got married, he gave Shaduo Luole the palace tent that the queen was proud of.

Perhaps out of some kind of show-off, Sha Duo Luo Le invited many people, including her ex-husband Khan Fuddin and other wives of Khalil.When the princess was taken to the palace tent by the guards of Shaduo Luole, there were already many people sitting in the palace tent. These people were Khalil's courtiers and their family members. They had to come, but all of them looked serious and kept silent.Their performance made the scene that should have been lively look a bit deserted. However, when the princess appeared in the palace tent, people became active again.Everyone greeted the princess with a long-lost friendly smile on their faces.Sha Duo Luo Le also stepped down from her seat to greet the princess, but unfortunately, her exaggerated enthusiasm and pretentious words could not make people feel good about her.

Khalil arrived a little later.He sat high in the middle with Sha Duo Luo Le, inadvertently showing a tired look on his face.Until the banquet was announced, the wives of Khanfuddin and Khalil still did not appear in the palace tent. Shaduoluo was unhappy, and sent a few guards to urge the latecomers with a very impatient attitude .Soon after the replies came one by one, Khan Fudin refused to come because he was unwell, but Khalil's wives were not polite, not only said some ugly words, but also drove the guards of Shaduo Luole out of the mansion.Like an angry child, Sha Duo Luole insisted on the guards repeating each lady's reply, her face turned livid as she listened.The guard sent to urge Mrs. Khalil was the last to come back. The lady only said one sentence, but this sentence pierced Shaduo Luole's heart like a knife.The lady said, such a lowly person deserves to invite me!After hearing this sentence, Sha Duo Luo Le threw all the cups and plates on the table on the ground, and after throwing them, she pulled her hair and cried loudly.

All the people at the banquet were terrified, and they didn't care how Khalil tried to coax her. Starting from the princess, people sneaked out of the palace tent one by one.Outside the tent, the princess wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression relaxed a lot, and she asked me, "Ceccia, how do we go back to the city?" "Can you give me the honor to send you back to the city in person?" A thick male voice suddenly sounded behind me. I turned around, and it turned out to be him. He is a descendant of Hulagu Khan. I forgot his name for a while, but I designed a pair of bracelets for his newlyweds.

"Thank you, Tahar." The princess still remembered his name and accepted his kindness happily. We got into Tahar's carriage.Tahar's carriage was spacious and bright, surrounded by purple veils.Tahar asked me to sit with the princess, and he himself sat opposite the princess. Tahar was a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had never had the opportunity to be so close to the princess before. Therefore, he seemed a little nervous and didn't know what to say to the princess. The princess managed to relieve his embarrassment, and she asked him with a smile why he did not bring his lady.

"She has returned to her mother's house." Tahar replied briefly. Then they talked about some pleasant past, about people they had known in common.Memories are pleasant, because at that time, King Timur was still alive.Takhar served as the personal bodyguard of King Timur, and was later promoted to a general, assisting the king's grandson Khalil to sit in Samarkand.Tahar never forgot about King Timur's kindness, but he never mentioned Khalil, let alone the farce that just happened before his eyes. Time passed unknowingly, and soon, the carriage stopped in front of the resplendent front gate of Orinburg.

Tahar was the first to jump out of the carriage and offered his arm to the princess.When the princess took his wrist lightly, I saw a gleam of joy in his face. Tahar did not refuse the princess' invitation, he probably also wanted to see what the legendary Orynburg was like.He followed the princess with his mouth shut and his eyes looking around.His ever-changing expression told me that what he saw was stirring his mind. Sodu and his wife were busy in the kitchen. When they heard that the princess was back, they ran out to meet her.As soon as the princess saw Suo Du, she smiled and said to him: "Suo Du, is there anything to eat? I'm going to starve to death."

At that moment, Tahar's amazement could not be added.The princess who was unattainable in his mind turned out to be as innocent and delicate as a child. Suo Du hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, it will be ready soon. You and your guests go back to the hall to have a cup of hot milk tea, and I will prepare lunch right away." Suo Du did not ask us why we attended the banquet but came back hungry. The most important thing in his heart at any time was never to make the princess wait too long. Takhar stayed and enjoyed a simple but tasty lunch prepared by Sodu and his wife.The conversation was unfettered, and Tahar was in a good mood.At the moment of parting, he sincerely made a request to the princess. He said that he hoped to bring his wife to Orlinburg as a guest soon.The princess welcomed him and his wife, and said that the gates of Orlynburg were always open to them. According to the request of the princess, Sodu sent Takhar out of Orinburg.When he turned back, he told the princess that Tahar saw that the princess was a little weak, and that he was going to send someone to bring some valuable medicinal materials over tomorrow. A lovely smile flashed on the princess's pale face. Of course, she would not refuse the warm gift. Tahar left in a carriage.For him, to be treated by the princess in Orinburg in this life is not so much a pleasant experience as a pleasant experience. Tahar is a man of his word.The next day, he really sent someone to deliver the precious ginseng, velvet antler and ganoderma lucidum, accompanied by a doctor. The doctor told Suodu that these things can be eaten in stewed soup, or soaked in wine to make medicinal wine. The doctor checked the princess's body. Although he spoke softly and had a relaxed and gentle expression, I was sensitive to the faint uneasiness frowning between his brows.After checking, he bid farewell to the princess and ordered Suodu to go with him to get the medicine.As usual, I massaged the princess by her side, trying to forget the strange expression of the doctor. I try to make myself think of Tahar. I found out later that I was actually thinking about Shah Ruh all the time.I don't know, is Shaharu also thinking about the princess?If so, how could he bear not to come? No, I can no longer think of Shahru, but think of Tahar -- better think of Tahar. I dare say that Tahar really wanted to visit Orinburg again, but such a wish did not come true while the princess was alive.The reason why this wish was not fulfilled was that something even more shocking happened in Samarkand shortly thereafter. And the cause of everything has to start with Sha Duo Luo Le. At the banquet that day, Sha Duo Luole was humiliated by Khalil's other wives, and her anger can be imagined.In order to retaliate, she proposed to Khalil that these wives who disrespected her should be given to ministers or generals respectively.At the beginning, of course, Khalil ignored this whimsical proposal, but Sha Duo Luole fell ill in shame and anger. Her body became weaker and weaker, and she couldn't even speak.Seeing that his most beloved woman was about to leave him, Khalil finally vented his anger on his wives who had also been with him for many years, and ordered that all these women be given to more than a dozen nobles who followed him, and ordered that no one should do anything to him. There is no objection to this matter. After he made this decision, Sha Duo Luo Le's illness healed without any medicine. However, for the other women who were given to marry courtiers, the greatest insult in the world might be nothing more than this.These women who loved and hated Khalil turned to persuade their newly married husbands to unite to abolish the fatuous Khalil and kill the hateful Sadorole.Because their attitude was so firm, under their repeated persuasion, and under the active lobbying and contact of Khan Fudin who wanted to avenge his wife, the nobles finally staged a coup. They led the army into the palace and threw Khalil into the palace. In the prison, Sha Duo Luo Le was loaded into the prison cart, and the word "prostitute" was pasted on the prison cart, which was pulled by a skinny horse and paraded through the streets every day. Among the nobles who launched the coup, one was Tahar.By virtue of his noble status, he became the temporary master of Samarkand. At this time, Shah Ruh, who had successfully quelled the rebellion in all places except Western Persia, lost no time in sending an army to the city of Samarkand, led by Ulugh Beg.When they arrived, Takhar ordered people to open the city gate of Samarkand and welcome Ulugh Beg into the city. A few days later, the army led by Shah Ruh also entered Samarkand.In the 809th year of the Muslim calendar (about the beginning of 1407), he ascended the throne in the hope of all. So far, the battle for the throne, which lasted two years, finally won the final victory by the open-minded and intelligent Shah Ru, as the princess expected. Not only that, but as the princess expected, Shah Ruh showed the kindness and generosity in his nature.He personally went to the prison to release Khalil, and he also asked people to open the prison van, sent the humiliated and tortured Sadorole back to Khalil, and then ordered them to guard Iraqi. With the woman he loves the most in his life, fate smiled on Khalil.The concubine Hanzedai also went to Iraq with them. After endless worries and longings, Shahru and Ulugh Beg were finally reunited with us.When Ulugh Beg jumped into the arms of Princess Oela like a hungry fawn to the grass, I saw Shah Ruth turned around, quietly and quickly wiped away the tears that suddenly overflowed his eyes. Then he turned around again, and stared at the princess dreamingly. When the princess raised his head occasionally, and the moment he met her eyes, deep thoughts flashed across his face, as well as vague pride. Yes, he did, he did.After the death of King Timur, he judged the situation. He was not eager to fight for the throne, but spared no effort to stabilize the situation in the empire, and worked hard to recover the territory that was lost due to the death of King Timur. His actions made more people see Seeing his great talent and strategy, those who lost power in the struggle for the throne, such as Omar and Miransha, chose to rely on him.It can be said that it was his retreat-for-advance strategy that multiplied his power, in stark contrast to the desertion of his last rival, Khalil, because of his eagerness to seize the throne. He did what the princess wanted him to do, and this is where his pride lies! Because Khalil will not be mentioned again in the future, I might as well explain his ending here.Shah Ruth captured Samarkand with ease. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Shah Ruh ordered Khalil and his wife to guard Iraqi.Since then, Khalil never left there until he died of illness in July 814 (November 1411) five years later. He was only twenty-seven years old when he died. What everyone didn't expect was that Shadolo, who had brought endless disasters to Khalil, loved her husband so deeply. After Khalil died, she committed suicide immediately.Upon hearing the news, Shah Ruh ordered people to bury the loving couple together in Layi. Such an ending may be regrettable, but in any case, it is also a kind of comfort for him to have his beloved woman with him after his death. A few days later, the concubine Hanzedai died suddenly in the palace due to excessive drinking.Shah Ruh ordered her to be buried in the mausoleum of her son Khalil, because Shah Ruh knew that Hanzedai would never see her third brother Milan Shah no matter whether she lived or died. When Shah Ruth came to the throne, he set out to restore the chaos of the imperial order caused by the fierce competition for the throne.First of all, he listened to the advice of the princess and Takhar and others, and grandly received the Ming Dynasty envoys who came from afar in the palace. Therefore, they couldn’t help showing a look of surprise when they learned that the throne had changed hands—two months later, Shah Ruh sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to reaffirm his friendship with Emperor Yongle wishes. Secondly, he recruited craftsmen to restore and rebuild the magnificent buildings in famous cities such as Samarkand and Harleigh that were unfortunately destroyed by war or man-made buildings.It can be said that, in terms of aesthetic taste, Shah Ruh, like his father, has always preferred large and solid structures. Their hobbies made the buildings of this period mostly in the shape of domes, with thick walls and long and thick walls. pillars as support.The carvings on the decorative long pillars are like the ceramic walls in the tents of Timur's palace, with harmonious and beautiful colors. While devoting himself to urban construction, Shah Ruh also allocated huge sums of money to reward poets and painters, as well as provide generous treatment and a good environment for astronomers and historians. After his unremitting efforts, the empire soon Get out of the shadow of war and regain your vitality. Although Shah Ruh was a peace-loving monarch, he was also a brave and tenacious warrior. He did not want Western Persia to be separated from the empire for a long time. Therefore, he sent his third brother Milansha He and his nephew Abu Bek sat in Azherbaizhan, hoping to conquer Western Persia from Azherbaizhan at the right time and reunify the Timur Empire.Miransha and Abu Bek accepted the order happily. In fact, since the time of King Timur, Ajaer Baizhan was the territory of Miransha (later Abu Bek). Yu Sufu, the leader of the Black Sheep Dynasty, who is said to have the land of Western Persia, is a very strategic person. Aiming at Shah Ru's intentions, he came up with a countermeasure of using offense as defense.After several days of preparation, he suddenly sent troops to Tiebilisi, which came fiercely.The father and son of Milan Sha and Abu Bek faced the battle hastily. They won first and then lost. When Shahru heard the bad news about his brother and nephew in Samarkand, he was very sad and indignant, so he decided to conquer Yu Sufu himself, take back Tbilisi, and avenge his brother and nephew. The date of the expedition has been determined, but the preparations before the expedition are still tedious and tense.This time, Uluh Beg neither led nor accompanied the army, and was left by his father to sit in Samarkand and act as king.It can be seen that Shaharu's decision made Princess Oela feel a lot more relaxed. After all, Ulugh Beg is the princess's most beloved child. What mother in the world is willing to send her child to the battlefield? Taking advantage of the time before the army left, Ulugh Beg accompanied Sai back to Jieshi to visit Aya and Shanai.Not long after Shahru came to the throne, Shanai, one of the main heroes, neither accepted the new appointment nor refused the generous reward from King Shahru.Later, he insisted on resigning from all posts in the name of old age and frailty, and asked to return to his hometown.For Shanai, he has experienced too many things. When he was more than seventy years old, his desire to live a peaceful life became so strong. He told the princess and me that he only wanted to leave the royal court with Aya and return to his hometown Jieshi. , reliving the hard-working but carefree grazing life.The princess was full of appreciation for Shanai's free and easy decision. Before Shanai and Aya left Samarkand, she gave them a piece of high-quality Ming Dynasty silk given to her by Shaharu. I originally wanted to go with Ulugh Beg and Sai, but I was temporarily assigned a task, so I had to stay and design a tea set for the King of Spain. Just when I had some ideas for my design, Shahru suddenly appeared in Orinburg.He came back with Ayilai, and their arrival surprised and delighted the princess.The battle for the throne consumed too much of the empire's strength, and Shah Ruth has been extremely busy since he became the throne. This is the first time he has taken time to return to his former home.
