Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 34

Huns.

The Huns were originally a nomadic tribe around BC.

In order to destroy the Yiyue clan, all beheaded and sent down.Loulan, Wusun, Hujie and its neighbors, a total of 26 countries, have all been Huns.All the people who lead the bow are one family, and Beizhou is determined.

There is also a saying that the different ethnic groups seen in historical records such as Guirong, Yiqu, Yanjing, Yuwu, Loufan, and Dali are collectively referred to as the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were a little stronger and devoured the feudal lords, so they broke up the Yue clan, moved to a small country because of their military power, and the people who led the bow became one family." That is, the Xiongnu unified the northern part of the country.

In the past, the Xiongnu had 26 countries and 48 tribes, and they had to pay tribute to Tang every year!

But this year, the Xiongnu Dynasty sent the Xiongnu mission, not to pay tribute, but to marry the nine princesses under the banner of the two alliances.

Even the lion opened his mouth wide, proposing [-] war horses, [-] taels of gold and silver, [-] dans of grain... and other military supplies!

what does this mean?
Take advantage of the fire!

The situation in the world has changed, the frontiers of the Tang Kingdom are unstable, and internal conflicts are serious. The Tang King is old and faint, and the princes are fighting for power.

It was precisely because the Huns saw this that they dared to act like this.

"Mother."

Li Jianbai stood up solemnly, looked at his eldest grandson Wuyou, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as I am the prince of the Tang Kingdom, I will do my best to protect the Tang Kingdom. .”

Hearing these words, the eldest grandson took a deep breath, waved his hand, and signaled Li Jianbai to sit down.

And Sister Hong also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I just said that His Highness the Sixth Highness will not abandon the Ninth Princess in order to win the support of the Huns and the stability of the two countries like other princes."

The eldest grandson nodded, knowing in his heart that he was excited.

I don't have a son, and Yuqiong doesn't have a direct brother. The eldest grandson is afraid that His Majesty really sacrificed Yue'er for the alliance between the two countries.

The eldest grandson also knows that he is acting on his own will at this moment.

After being a country, he should put the overall situation first. Now that Tang is in trouble at home and abroad, if it is really possible to sacrifice Yu Qiong in exchange for the peace of Tang.

The eldest grandson asked himself, but it was difficult to make a choice.

He also understood in his heart that the foundation of the Tang Kingdom was unstable and began to decline.

Sure enough, at this moment, all the frontiers of the Tang Kingdom have reported their horses one after another, and they are in a hurry for [-] miles!
Recently, Wuhu has been harassing the frontier more and more frequently, and the soldiers guarding the border have a vague feeling that the war is about to start.

In other dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the country also placed spies, and found that the Five Hus were rectified and united, and they were unanimously external.

It seems to be ready for war.

And not only the Wuhu Kingdom, but even the Xiongnu Dynasty began to cross the border between the two countries and began to station troops in the disputed area.

The most obvious is the country of Koryo, which has already begun to invade the frontier territory of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Jianbai found the sadness on the face of the eldest grandson's mother, and he couldn't bear it. He thought of his mother, worrying about hard work, and his temples began to turn gray.

"Queen Mother, please rest assured, no matter what, I will definitely protect Jiumei." Li Jianbai made a promise, and he no longer had the intention of bargaining.

Talking to his Tang King father, Li Jianbai may still want to negotiate conditions, let him cancel the engagement, or let him leave the palace and leave the city.

But what I was facing was my mother, my elder sister.

"Okay, Liu'er, with your words, the queen mother can rest assured." The eldest grandson Wuyou nodded, and the new Li Jianbai.

"Sister Hong, take good care of the queen mother." After Li Jianbai finished speaking, he bowed and left.

Because I know that I have something to do, and this matter is not ordinary difficult.

In the past, if I wanted to leave the palace, even if I failed 33 times, it would be fine, because I am the prince!

In the past, I contradicted the king of Tang, picked the flowers in the imperial garden, shot and killed the spirit birds in the imperial garden, made a big disturbance in the Wenwu Hall, and angered the three elders in the imperial study... I was not afraid.

Not returning to the palace at night, romantic all night, red flower Qinlou...

Li Jianbai is not afraid at all, because his opponents are all his own!
But now, his opponent is not someone else, but the Xiongnu Dynasty, and he is still a menacing and confident missionary!
They want to humiliate the Tang Dynasty, marry the first princess of the Tang Dynasty, and want to take advantage of the fire to loot and hunt for the resources of the Tang Dynasty!
Even if his identity as the prince is false, as long as he is still the sixth prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jianbai will not agree!

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

After leaving Fengyi Hall, Li Jianbai was ready to make arrangements.

Meditating all the way, Li Jianbai thought about how he should deal with the Xiongnu mission.

Walking unknowingly, I came to a lotus leaf pond.

"is her?"

Li Jianbai saw the woman in the courtyard in front of the pond.

This woman is none other than Ninth Princess Li Yuqiong!
The Nine Princesses of the Tang Dynasty, the most beauties in the palace, born of the eldest grandson empress, can be said to be the direct relatives of the Tang king and empress, and have been favored by the emperor and empress.

It is precisely because of this that the marriage proposal of the Xiongnu mission seems to be intentional, and it is deliberately humiliating the face of the Tang Dynasty!
Li Jianbai quietly stood behind the Great Tang Ninth Princess.

They watched her silently from behind from a distance of one zhang.

Li Yuqiong, as the name suggests, has a slender figure, is soft and warm, and exudes a kind of moonlight invisibly.

It is undeniable that the nine princesses have a special place in Li Jianbai's heart, she is the only daughter of the eldest grandson.

Among the brothers and sisters, Li Jianbai still had a good impression of Princess Yuqiong.

The courtyard is very quiet.

The beauty is very quiet.

The moon is also very round, the lotus leaves in the pond are swaying with the wind, the lotus is fragrant, and the beauty is like emerging from the mud without being stained.

It can be seen from a distance, but not up close.

Because when I walked in and took a closer look, I found that the beauty had a sad face, and her haggardness was clearly visible.

Li Jianbai's heart also gradually calmed down, and he understood something in his heart, no need to guess, no need to think.

It must be related to the marriage of the Xiongnu mission.

Unexpectedly, Li Jianbai could die.

However, at this moment in the picture, there is a sense of tranquility and peace that spreads throughout the boy's body.

For a long time.

Li Jianbai stood for a long time.

For some reason, the boy couldn't bear to break this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

But if Li Jianbai turned around and left quietly now, he was a little unwilling.

After all, he is now the person dealing with the Huns mission, and he is also the elder brother of the beauty in front of him.

After struggling for a while, Li Jianbai coughed lightly and took a step forward.

"Cough, Ninth Sister."

"..."

The Ninth Princess, who was wandering in the sky, heard the sound, turned her head slightly, and looked at Li Jianbai.

Suddenly, a delicate face appeared in Li Jianbai's eyes.

There was a bit of perplexity on that face, and he looked at Li Jianbai quietly.

"So it is, Sixth Brother." Although the ninth princess is not familiar with Li Jianbai, it is not that she does not know him.

"Ancient willows hang down the embankment and the wind is light, and new lotuses overflow the swamp leaves. The white feathers are frequently waved. The idler sits, and the black gauze is half-fallen. , be a fairy to Lian Yu."

"Jiumei, don't worry about tomorrow's events, let alone let down the beautiful scenery in front of you."

After reading a poem, Li Jianbai pointed to the lotus leaves in the pond, and the breeze was blowing gently, enlightening Li Yuqiong.

"Thank you Sixth Brother." Li Yuqiong responded with a slight salute.

"Jiumei, don't worry, with me here, you will still be able to appreciate the lotus leaf and lotus in the coming year." Li Jianbai made a promise.

"In the coming year? Brother Six is ​​serious."

"Ah."

The elder brother makes a promise to the younger sister.
