Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 432 When will you marry me?
Although Li Qiushui was asking questions, she had no intention of blaming Zhao Mu. I'm just complaining about my granddaughter. After all, she herself is not a serious person. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

But now that she is older, her interest in this area has faded. If she had been several decades younger, Zhao Mu might have become her guest and her subordinate.

Naturally, she had no face and no position to accuse Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu replied: "Master Wife, you are the Empress Dowager of the Xixia Kingdom. You should be very aware of the matters in the court."

Li Qiushui nodded and said, "This is natural."

Zhao Mu replied: "The situation in this court is complicated, and the relationship between the various forces is naturally very complicated. And I am not only involved in this marriage, but I also have two marriages that have not yet been completed."

Li Qiushui asked: "Oh? Which family are you marrying this time? There are two other marriages that have not yet been completed, and whose family is it?"

Zhao Mu also answered truthfully: "I was married to the princess of the Privy Councilor Zhongxiao Wang's family."

Li Qiushui asked: "Oh? Is it Hu Yanjin?"

Zhao Mu was a little surprised and asked, "How did the master's wife know? When she went to Xixia to marry her, she used her brother Hu Yanxian's name."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "That's not true. The child is not planning to marry Qinglu yet. Later, the child will marry the princess of Prince Deng's palace and the county owner of Xinguo Gong's family. As for Qinglu, I plan to wait. Let’s talk about it after the war between Xixia and Song Dynasty is over.”

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Yes. I was the one who recommended Jin'er to join the eldest brother's sect and inherit his not-so-exquisite martial arts."

Li Qinglu did the math, and then said: "So, Princess Zhongxiao, Princess Zhongxiao, should be regarded as my junior sister?"

Li Qiu Shui shook his head and said, "It's true. Back then, your senior brother was as handsome as your master. It's true that time has been merciless." Li Qiu Shui sighed and said, "Let's not mention him. He is serious. What a waste. If he had listened carefully to our teachings, he wouldn't have become what he is today. The good disciple is called 'Hu Yanjin', who belongs to Princess Zhongxiao of the Song Dynasty."

Li Qiu Shui nodded and said, "Although I have never met her, since Xinghe is willing to accept her as his disciple, I guess her appearance should be the same." Li Qiu Shui then asked, "Who are the remaining two marriages? But? Is there Yinchuan?”

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Haha, senior brother has learned a lot of things and is not specialized in martial arts. Naturally, he is not as youthful as other members of our Xiaoyao sect."

Li Qiu Shui said: "It's nothing, it's just that I just came back from the Valley of the Deaf and the Mute in Leigu Mountain. I went to pay homage to your master, but Su Xinghe was very sensible and didn't stop me. I just didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for decades. He has become so old that he has turned into a rotten old man with white hair and white hair and a wrinkled face! If I remember correctly, he would have been around seventy years old when we first met, if he hadn't called me. Wife. I almost didn’t recognize it.”

Li Qinglu couldn't help frowning at this time: "Why? Am I so helpless? Why do you marry so many people and don't plan to marry me?"

Zhao Mu spread his hands and sighed and said, "Alas! There is nothing we can do about it. It's just that your location is not revealed in my mansion."

Hearing this, Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu frowned in sync. Upon seeing this, Zhao Mu explained: "According to our laws of the Song Dynasty, a prince can have one main concubine, two side concubines, four concubines, and eight wives. Now my main concubine is Wan'er, the Song princess, and the two side concubines are The concubine of Prince Zhongxiao and Prince Deng is A'Zhu. From now on, Lord Chai can only be a concubine when she marries me. As for the position of wife, I still have the right to do so, but Qingluyou is the legitimate princess of Xixia Kingdom, so I will not accept it. Maybe I’ll let you be my concubine.”

Li Qinglu asked with a cold face and frowned: "So?"

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "It's very simple, that is, wait until I make great achievements next time, and then ask your majesty to grant me an additional share of the princess. At least Qinglu, you must be my equal wife."

After listening to Zhao Mu's explanation, Li Qinglu and Li Qiushui relaxed their gloomy brows in sync.

Li Qinglu said: "You have a conscience. You also know not to humiliate me. But don't worry, my husband, I am not the kind of person who cares about status. I don't want the position of your principal concubine. Side concubine You must give me the position. You have already married Princess Huyan, so I won’t embarrass you. Now give me the position of concubine. Let Princess Qian be your concubine. A princess must be older than a princess like her!"

After listening to Li Qinglu's words, Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "No, no. This is related to the state of Xixia. Let a princess like you be a concubine. You can accept it, but I'm afraid my old brother can't accept it either. "

Li Qinglu smiled and said, "The Xixia Kingdom will be gone after the war anyway. Does anyone still care?"

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Who said that the Xixia Kingdom is gone? The Xixia Kingdom is still the Xixia Kingdom, but its surname is not Li, but Zhao. And if my father is willing to surrender, then he will have the power to me, the Song Dynasty." Great work. I also told my wife about my previous treatment.”

Li Qiushui nodded and said: "Yes, it depends on your boy's ability. But don't worry, your stupid brother will not escape. He will wait for you in Lingzhou City. If your Song Dynasty army can When the troops arrive at Lingzhou City, he will persuade those warlike nobles to surrender."

Zhao Mu nodded and said: "If these Xixia nobles are willing to surrender, then I can keep their previous treatment unchanged. Of course, if they are willing to surrender."

Li Qiu Shui smiled and said: "It depends on the strength of your Song Dynasty. If it is as you said, our Da Xia will be vulnerable in front of your Song Dynasty. There is no need for your silly brother to persuade them. You will become very aware of current affairs.”

Hearing Li Qiushui's comments, Li Qinglu couldn't help but hide her face and snicker. Although Li Qiushui's words were quite ironic, they were indeed true. The Xixia people are strong on the outside and capable on the inside. As long as their opponents are much stronger than them, they will naturally surrender.

When the Dangxiang clan surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was once extremely powerful. It seems that only such a country is worthy of dominating them. Or they dominate that powerful country. As for the Song Dynasty's blind tolerance of "even if it is far away, it must be compensated", the Dangxiang family naturally looked down on the Song Dynasty.

Li Qinglu said at this time: "It's just that I hope this war will not come too late. After all, I don't want to wait too long."

Zhao Mu didn't answer, just smiled.

After all, when to use troops is a real military secret. Although he trusts Li Qiushui and Li Qinglu. But to be on the safe side, he wanted to leave this matter until the last minute before the war started.

The key to winning this war is speed. He wanted to end this war completely before everyone could react. He could even shoot rabbits in the grass. In the name of hunting down the defeated Xixia army, he could expand the results of the war and give Tubo and Liao a wake-up call. .
