Chapter 421: Engagement
When Emperor Yonghe was full of anger, He Shuting was happily sending people to Longnan to hire.
On the day when the prince of Chang'an, Wu Guochang, became engaged to King Xixiao's second princess Xiao Muyan. From now on, he will be King Xixiao's prospective son-in-law and the brother-in-law of the Tartar emperor.
The good news came out, and congratulations came from all directions, and even the Empress Dowager Man of the Tartars sent envoys to send congratulations.
In order to show his respect for this little son-in-law, King Xiao Wenyuan of Xixiao sent people to sign an alliance with the Chang'an Palace. From then on, the two families became allies, supported each other, and worked together to achieve great achievements.
Interestingly, the envoy sent by Xiao Wenyuan to sign the contract was Luo Yun, who was the former governor of Ganzhou. He was an old subordinate of the Wu family. At that time, Wu Ji sacrificed his life and wanted to go to Xianyang to find He Shuting. For this reason, Luo Yun and Wu The horse turned against him, and after failing to persuade him, Luo Yun defected to Xiao Wenyuan.
Luo Yun's feelings for the Chang'an Palace were very complicated. The Wu family was grateful to him, but he eventually betrayed the Wu family.
Human beings often cannot face their own mistakes and like to put their own mistakes on others. It seems that in this way, they can face everything without any guilt.
This is true for Luo Yun. He thought that the reason why he betrayed the Wu family was all because of He Shuting.
He was not wrong in this matter, and Wu Ji was not wrong, only He Shuting was wrong.
He Shuting is Su Daji who is in trouble with the country and the people, and both King Zhou of Shang and Wu Ji were poor people who were harmed by the demon concubine.
It is conceivable that Xiao Wenyuan sent Luo Yun to sign the contract, and he looked down on He Shuting from the bottom of his heart.
He Zongqun was sent by He Shuting to sign the contract.
Since He Zongqun came, He Shuting has been smooth sailing, and all the difficulties she encountered were solved. What she wanted to do often just as she thought of, she would usher in an opportunity.
The brother-sister relationship between He Zongqun and He Shuting can make them appear in front of the world together openly. In the past, those who called He Shuting a fox behind their backstop, but now they are shut up. They don’t have only one godfather by their side, but now they still have their parents’ family members. .
When He learned that Xixiao sent Luo Yun, He Zongqun volunteered. He Shuting also wanted to know how this former rebel would arrange her, so she happily agreed.
From the beginning of negotiations to the formal alliance, it took five days. Five days later, Luo Yun and He Zongqun were hooked up and became good brothers who were loyal to each other.
Luo Yun also brought the wish of King Xixiao. King Xixiao wanted the two families to get married as soon as possible. After all, the second princess is already thirteen years old, and the prince is already one year old. If it is delayed for a few years, the little prince's affairs will be It only depends on the mother. The second princess got married again at that time, and the child's personality and preferences had been developed, so it would not be easy to change it.
This made He Shuting a little annoyed. She just wanted to engage her son, but she never thought of getting married.
Her son just turned one year old. Is he going to be a mother when he married a thirteen-year-old wife?
What kind of engagement is just the pretext of the alliance between the two families.
But Xiao Wenyuan had a firm attitude, and in the end He Shuting had to take a step back and agreed to Xiao Muyan get married at the end of the year.
However, Xiao Wenyuan refused to give in and asked the Chang'an Prince's Mansion to marry Xiao Muyan in three months.
Now that the alliance has been signed, the two families are already allies, they have their own opinions on this matter and will not give in to each other.
After a stalemate for a month, the two families finally reached an agreement and set the wedding date on the second day of August.
He Shuting fell a few cups. She was so angry that she didn't need to guess that when Xiao Muyan got married, she would definitely bring a few powerful maids and women, and maybe she would have to bring a few hundred or even thousands of people. escorts.
At that time, her son became the Xiao family's pocket.
He Shuting cried and asked He Zongqun to find a solution: "Brother, Guochang is not only my son, he is also your nephew. You don't want to watch your nephew fall into the hands of others."
He Shuting can foresee that it will be difficult for her to see her son when Xiao Muyan comes over.
He Zongqun pondered and said nothing until He Shuting cried and fainted. Then he said, "If it doesn't work openly, then come to the dark."
He Shuting was confused and didn't understand what He Zongqun was talking about.
After all, she knew nothing about military tactics.
He Zongqun said, "If my sister trusts Wei brother, she will hand over this matter to Wei brother. As long as her brother still has a breath, she will not let Guochang become a fish that can be slaughtered."
Immediately, He Zongqun told his thoughts. He Shuting was surprised and happy, thinking that she had really picked up a treasure, and was jealous of He Ran's many capable people and the fight between gods, how could a counselor like Zongqun have no place to play.
He Zongqun already has such ability, so why aren’t the legendary Feng Xieying and Nie Chen even more powerful?
No wonder He Jiang and He Zongqun both advised her to avoid He Ran’s edge and not to confront He Ran head-on.
After He Zongqun left, He Shuting complained that He Ran was too strong, but she still had to accumulate energy. I don’t know how many years would it take to compete with He Ran.
They are all daughters of the He family. Why is God so unfair? He gave all the good things to He Ran, but she has to break through the obstacles and work hard to get them.
However, He Shuting felt that at least one thing He Ran was not as good as hers.
She has a son!
He Ran doesn’t!
The son is her confidence. With a son, she can inherit everything from the Wu family in a noble way, and she can hold the court like Empress Dowager Man.
But He Ran still needs to use King Zhao Zhou Jian to raise an army. Now that Zhou Jian is dead, it depends on where He Ran can find an obedient man to be the emperor! Which man is not tempted by such a great wealth? obedient? dream! When she took all her rights, the only thing waiting for He Ran was the lonely cold palace!
Therefore, a husband is unreliable, he still needs to have a son.
If you have a son, you can be the queen. If you have a husband, you can only be the queen.
The emperor can have three palaces and six courtyards, but his mother only has one.
He Shuting figured out these things and temporarily suppressed her jealousy and grievances. She was still blessed with He Ran.
Thinking that He Ran was close to Hua Xin but had not yet married, and his son was already engaged, He Shuting felt even more balanced.
Not long after, Empress Dowager Man received a letter from He Shuting. In the letter, He Shuting cried about the pitifulness of her orphan and widowed mother, and cried about Xiao Wenyuan's arrogant face forcing her to get married. She hoped that Empress Dowager Man could help her.
Empress Dowager Man closed the letter with satisfaction, and the grudge between He Shuting and Xiao Wenyuan was exactly what she wanted to see.
The Han people were treacherous, how could they let their family dominate? So she praised Xiao Wenyuan, and now she still wants to praise He Shuting.
They formed an alliance?
What's the best thing about forming an alliance? Do you want to join forces to deal with her?
dream!
Empress Dowager Man believed that she and He Shuting had a emotional foundation, and now it was time to let this relationship blossom. So the Empress Dowager Man asked the young emperor to issue an imperial edict, recognizing He Shuting as his sister and being named the princess.
There were five Dala artillery cannons sent to Longxi together with this imperial edict!
These five cannons were given for free, and were given to her sister and nephew by her sister.
Before the Thunderbolt Cannon appeared, the Dala Cannon was the world's number one magic weapon. When Meng Zhong was alive, he always wanted to have one, but at that time, even Wu Dongming had only two cannons used to serve as a storefront. It was still from the Taizu period and it was no longer useful.
The predecessor of the Chang'an Army was the Meng Family Army. In those years, the Meng Family Army only did two things, one was to fight the Tartars and the other was to fight the horse bandits.
The generals' military achievements were all made of the Tartars' heads.
The previous alliance with Xiao Wenyuan has already made many generals dissatisfied. After all, it is not a secret that Xiao Wenyuan's daughter is the queen of the Tartars.
But He Zongqun did a lot of work from it, so that the generals understood that this was just a temporary solution, so he finished it.
But now the Tartars' imperial edict has arrived, and these generals no longer want to endure it.
But due to the five artillery pieces, the generals did not act rashly.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
But He Zongqun did not give them time. Once the five cannons were tested, the Chang'an army rushed to Xixiao!
Moreover, by the time Xiao Wenyuan learned about this, the Chang'an army had already captured two cities in succession. The rapid march and accurate attacks all surprised Xiao Wenyuan.
In fact, the Meng family army was also famous in the early years, but in recent years, the commander changed one after another, and later even the military flag was changed. It is said that many good generals have left, and the Chang'an army is now a group of wine bags.
Therefore, Xiao Wenyuan didn't take the Chang'an Army seriously at all. He married his daughter and did not want to fight against the Chang'an Army head-on. He even wanted to take the entire Longxi County into his pocket without spending a single soldier.
If Xiao Wenyuan had no intention of underestimating the enemy, there would not have been the victory of the Chang'an Army today.
The Chang'an army soldiers were holding their anger. He Zongqun did not lie to them. Everything before was a delaying strategy, and now they can finally start fighting.
The Chang'an Army treated the Western Xiao Army as Tartars. Who is Xiao Wenyuan? He is the father-in-law of the little Tartar emperor, not just the Tartars, but also a traitor!
With successive victories, the morale of the Chang'an army was so strong. They had not fought in such a good battle for several years. This battle was satisfying.
Xiao Wenyuan didn't expect that he would be pecked by the weak **** in his eyes. He was so angry that he sent his eldest son Xiao Ying to lead his troops to fight.
Although Xiao Ying is the eldest son, he is not the crown prince. Xiao Wenyuan has been reluctant to be crowned prince. For this reason, Xiao Ying's mother and his family have a lot of opinions. Xiao Wenyuan is in his prime, and the concubines in the harem are still giving birth to him. , Xiao Ying was only sixteen years younger than Xiao Wenyuan. After Xiao Wenyuan a hundred years, Xiao Ying was also older. At that time, Xiao Wenyuan was likely to make the young prince the crown prince.
Therefore, Xiao Ying also held his breath in his heart. He had already felt his father's love for other brothers and his coldness towards himself.
I usually have good things, but I never thought of him. Now I am going to fight, but I let him fight. Is this a fool?
Xiao Ying's uncles were originally generals under Xiao Wenyuan's command. After Xiao Wenyuan became king, these uncles only gained empty positions and had complained. Now that they heard that Xiao Ying was going to lead the army, they ran to Xiao Ying to make suggestions. .
Before Xiao Ying could send troops, he demanded 30,000 military expenses.
After getting the money, Xiao Ying sent troops.
Xiao Wenyuan was furious in the palace and scolded this unfilial son, and even threatened him with sending troops.
He regretted that Xiao Ying had stayed in the army forever.
Xiao Ying has military power, which is a very dangerous thing.
Xiao Ying followed the generals to suppress bandits at the age of eight, and he did have the capital to threaten Xiao Wenyuan.
Xiao Ying led his troops to fight, the Chang'an army retreated a hundred miles, and the good news came back to the royal city. Xiao Wenyuan was overjoyed, but he also became more determined to regain military power from Xiao Ying.
Xiao Wenyuan returned to the palace and went to visit his favorite concubine Xianglan.
Unlike Emperor Yonghe who only wants to marry aristocratic families, Xiao Wenyuan, who grew up in the northwest desert, only likes charming and hot beauty.
Xianglan's mother is Hu Nu and her father is Han. She has white skin that looks like cream, soft and plump lips, and a convex and convex figure. Xiao Wenyuan was deeply fascinated by her when he saw her at the first sight.
But although Xiao Wenyuan likes her, he doesn't want her to give birth to a child of Hu blood. The descendants of the Xiao family have noble blood, how can they be confused?
Therefore, Xianglan just entered the palace and drank Juezi Soup. No matter how much Xianglan is favored, she will not be pregnant.
Xianglan didn't care about this. Her best thing was dancing. Pregnancy would only make her dance posture less graceful.
Xianglan sat in Xiao Wenyuan's arms and sniffed in his ear, making Xiao Wenyuan feel itchy.
In the mandarin duck tent, Xianglan confides her sorrow to Xiao Wenyuan. The eldest prince won, and everyone is praising the eldest prince's bravery, but she is very scared.
The next morning, Xiao Wenyuan reluctantly left Wenrou Township. As soon as he walked out of Xianglan's yard, a confidant ran over.
Xiao Ying is asking for money again!
Yes, since you have won, you have to reward the meritorious ministers. Xiao Ying opened his mouth and said another 30,000 taels!
Xiao Wenyuan was furious. Xiao Ying, the beast, was sucking his blood.
If this continues, one day, Xiao Ying will lead his troops to force the palace!
Thinking of Xianglan, who was trembling in his arms last night, Xiao Wenyuan could almost foresee that once Xiao Ying, a rebellious son, would definitely not let him survive.
He did not die at the hands of the Tartars, at the hands of the Ran army, nor at the hands of the Chang'an army. In the end, he would become a prisoner of his own son.
Xiao Wenyuan gritted his teeth and said to his confidant: "Give him money, I want to see how many lives he has to spend my money!"
Seeing Xiao Wenyuan go, Xianglan yawned lazily.
He Zongqun wanted to use her, but she also wanted to be used by He Zongqun.
She dreamed that someone would use her to deal with Xiao Wenyuan.
If someone took her away immediately after she finished killing someone, she would definitely have stinged Xiao Wenyuan without hesitation.
She hated this old beast to death!
She had never thought about having a baby, but she didn't want to give birth to it, which was different from her not being able to give birth to it.
Xiao Wenyuan actually forced her to drink the medicine for the supreme son. With this alone, Xiao Wenyuan should die and be killed.
He Zongqun said that as long as Xiao Wenyuan fell, she would send her away. She could go to the capital or find her fellow Hu people. The world is so big that she can fly.
She has her beloved man, and the man has been waiting for her. One day, she will ask He Zongqun to send her to the man. (End of this chapter)
