Dajin royal family

Chapter 457
Xiao Tong thought about it carefully, and found that what Cen Zhenben said was correct.

Just as there is no conflict between Yu Wenshu and Chen Qiujin, there is no conflict between him and the Northern Jin Dynasty. If the two sides form an alliance, they will benefit from each other.

"But the Northern Jin Dynasty is strong, will they agree?" Xie Yunjie asked worriedly.

Hearing this, the monarch and his subjects were all silent.

In terms of the current strength of the Northern Jin Dynasty, even if they did not form an alliance with the Liang Dynasty, they could still deal with Yu Wenshu.

To some extent, this alliance is not equal, but they 'pray' to the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Although both Zhang Xuan and Cen Zhenben knew that the Northern Jin King Zhao was their majesty's nephew, but when it comes to the country, family affection is nothing.

After a while, Zhang Xuan suggested: "What about marriage?"

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in the eyes of Xiao Tong and others.

Marriage is the best way to form an alliance between two countries.

Zhang Xuan continued: "Princess Jiangling is the daughter of His Majesty, if she marries King Zhao, it will be a good talk."

Cen Zhenben didn't speak, but looked at Xiao Tong silently.In his heart, he felt that this proposal was okay. If the Northern Jin Dynasty agreed to the marriage, then an alliance would not be impossible.

"Let me think about it, the three lovers, go back and rest."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Xiao Tong was thinking about this matter, and unconsciously went to the palace where his daughter Xiao Xian was.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't dislike marrying his daughter to Jiang Chengxiao. After all, the other party was his own nephew.But he was reluctant to part with this daughter who had been with him for more than ten years, so he still wanted to respect her daughter's meaning.

Furthermore, using women to maintain national stability is nothing more than a stopgap measure after all.

"See father." Xiao Xian led the maids to pay respects to Xiao Tong.

"Exemption." Xiao Tong walked over with a smile, and said to the maid: "You all go down."

"Yes."

After the maids left, Xiao Tong and Xiao Xian took their seats in the hall.

"There is something, my father wants to hear your opinion."

"Father, please speak."

"Ahem, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about marriage. Do you have any thoughts in your mind?" Xiao Tong asked.

Xiao Xian blushed, lowered his head and said: "Father decides everything."

Seeing this, Xiao Tong couldn't help but smile wryly. How can he be the master? It's not that he has never recommended young talents in the past, but his daughter rejected them for various reasons.

"You tell Weifu what kind of man you want to marry."

Xiao Xian just bowed his head and didn't speak. It's not easy for a daughter of hers to speak up about such things.

This is also where Xiao Tong is helpless. This kind of question should be asked by his mother. As a father, it is inevitably inappropriate for him to ask such a question.

But the problem is, the daughter's biological mother is no longer there.The concubines in the harem are not close to their daughters, so they can only ask questions by themselves.

Seeing this, Xiao Tong said slowly: "Today Zhang Aiqing mentioned your marriage, and I want to ask your opinion as a father."

Xiao Xian couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan had found many young talents for her in the past.

She thought, what does her marriage have to do with foreign ministers?
"Father, please speak."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan in his heart, Xiao Xian knew that Zhang Xuan was the emperor's humerus minister, so he didn't say much, but just kept it in his heart silently.

Xiao Tong said: "Zhang Aiqing proposes to marry you to King Zhao of the Northern Jin Dynasty."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian's complexion changed slightly, and immediately there was an inexplicable blush.

"Cousin?" She said in a low voice.

Xiao Tong nodded, "That's right, I won't hide it from you as a father. The reason why Zhang Xuan proposed this is actually with the meaning of forming an alliance. Not long ago, Luoyang Yuwenshu wiped out the violent bandits in Nanyang and Runan, and now it borders our dynasty , Yu Wenshu is not an easy person, and the courtiers are worried that Yuwen Shu will join hands with Nanchen to deal with our dynasty, so they hope to use the marriage to propose an alliance to the Northern Jin Dynasty."

Xiao Xian lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, she just said softly: "It is a daughter's duty to contribute to Daddy's great cause, and Daddy decides everything."

Hearing this, Xiao Tong felt like a knife was twisting his heart.

In the annals of history, how long can a dynasty relying on women's breasts last?
"If you don't want to, my father will never force you." Xiao Tong said seriously.

Although he himself thinks that marrying into the Northern Jin Dynasty is a matter of great benefit and no harm, but he also loves his daughter.

Xiao Xian shook his head, "Father, don't be in trouble. If a daughter doesn't marry for a day, she will eventually marry someone else because of the country, or the son of a general abroad, or the leader of an enemy country. Now that the Northern Jin Dynasty can help Daddy, how can my daughter It ruined my father's affairs. Besides, marrying a cousin is better than marrying someone else."

These are her innermost thoughts. She knows that as the eldest princess of the Liang Dynasty, she will sacrifice herself for state affairs one day in the future.She is not ignorant of the annals of history, the emperor often married his daughter to win over generals, ministers, or make marriages with foreign countries.

She cannot escape such a fate.

Rather than waiting around and not knowing what kind of person she would marry in the future, she might as well marry her cousin, at least that cousin gave her a much better impression.

With his daughter's consent, Xiao Tong immediately invited Cen Zhenben to discuss the matter of marriage.

Because they were separated from the Northern Jin Dynasty by Yu Wenshu, they were unable to go to Taiyuan in a big way, so Xiao Tong asked Cen Zhenban to go to Taiyuan in disguise, and held his own national letter to meet King Zhao to discuss marriage.

On the palace pavilion, Xiao Xian's white skirt and shirt, holding the fence overlooking the sky.

She is extremely beautiful, very gentle, gentle and exquisite like Jiangnan women.

Going back to the painting building, the smoke is dark and late, and I pick up Meiying step by step, embellishing the palace makeup, beautiful eyes, long eyebrows and shallow green eyebrows, the ecstasy can't be compared to looking back.

"Princess, are you unhappy?" the servant girl Xiao Min followed behind, quietly asking.

Xiao Xian shook his head calmly, and didn't intend to answer Xiao Min.

Although she agreed to her father, she was still full of confusion about the future, because she heard that her cousin had a family, and once she went to the Northern Jin Dynasty, she didn't know when she would come back.

When the world is in chaos and the situation is changing, if she leaves her homeland, will she still have a chance to come back?
The clouds rolled and the clouds cleared, the dark clouds gathered, and a ray of light fell on the land of Hebei.

There is a gazebo ten miles outside the Zongcheng in Qinghe County. Tens of thousands of troops are marching slowly. The black eagle flag is flying, and the big banner with the word "Zhao" is located in the center.

This time, Jiang Chengxiao left [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Qi County, and [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in Bohai County led by Yu Chijing.

Pei Yuanyan still led [-] soldiers and horses to Hanoi County to guard against Yu Wenshu.

"Your Majesty, is it appropriate to appoint Wang Shunde as the Governor of Qi County?"

In the gazebo, Jiang Chengxiao, Wen Yanfei, Li Yaoshi, Wei Zhongzheng, Han Su and other generals were all there.

It was Wen Yanfei who asked the question. He always felt that Wang Shunde was a traitor, and it was not safe to keep him. It would be better to bring him back to Taiyuan.

"Qi County has Zhao Feng and Yan Hu commanding [-] soldiers and horses. A small Wang Shunde can't make any waves. Besides, it will be more interesting if he can gather rebels to rebel."

As for what it meant, Jiang Chengxiao didn't say anything, so Wen Yanfei didn't know, so he could only guess by himself.

At this moment, a personal guard came.

"Report to Your Majesty, Duke Cui of Qinghe, and Duke Zhang, please see Your Majesty."

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth, and he said immediately: "Let them come over."

After finishing speaking, he said to the generals: "You all perform your duties, go down."

"The last general will wait to leave." All the generals bowed and slowly left the gazebo.

The Cui family of Qinghe was severely suppressed in the first emperor's dynasty. Cui Shili supported Prince Zhao, but was pushed to the end by the emperor and sent to the south to serve as a county magistrate. Hongye died of illness in office in seven years. Since then, the Cui family of Qinghe The strength in the court has shrunk in an all-round way.

The other Qinghe Zhang family is not as good as the Qinghe Cui family, and can only be regarded as a noble family of the county. This time he followed him here, but he actually hid his own thoughts.

Not long ago, he learned that the Cui family of Boling had fallen to the Northern Jin Dynasty, and its patriarch Cui Wenyu was appointed as the internal history order by King Zhao.

This made him realize that an excellent opportunity was waiting for the Zhang family. If he could get on the Northern Jin ship, perhaps the Zhang family could achieve great development.

Now that Hebei has been unified by the Northern Jin Dynasty, Qinghe Cui and Qinghe Zhang visited Jiang Chengxiao this time to surrender.

After Jiang Chengxiao met the two of them, he roughly understood their purpose.In this regard, he neither seemed particularly happy, nor seemed very perfunctory.

After a friendly conversation between the two sides, both the Cui family and the Zhang family of Qinghe finally provided land and food to help the Northern Jin Dynasty appease the counties in Hebei.

And Jiang Chengxiao also secretly promised them that he would give Hebei scholars more convenience when Zhongzheng selected scholars.

As for Cui's and Zhang's overt and secret requests to become officials in Taiyuan, Jiang Chengxiao pretended not to know.

He treated the Cui family of Boling favorably because Cui Wenzhen was very sincere, and he was the first to stand up and give land and food to help him stabilize Boling.

To give Wen Yan a chance, it was because Wen Daya was very sincere and expressed his position to himself that Wen was willing to surrender.

The Qinghe Cui family and Qinghe Zhang family were not given a chance because they were opportunists, and they came to pledge their allegiance when they saw that their rule in Hebei was certain.

He will not dislike these two, but he will not reuse them.
