Chapter 13: The First Hearing of Political Affairs (Part II)
Regarding political affairs, Su Xun has always held the same view as the Gu family, thinking that understanding these is not only not a bad thing, but also increases a woman's knowledge. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoTherefore, if Su Yunjiao wants to know anything in the past, Su Yun will not hide it.
Current political news, historical news, miscellaneous interesting stories, as long as Su Yunjiao asks, he will say. It's a pity that Su Yunjiao is more interested in poetry and poetry on weekdays, and she has failed such a good opportunity. Now that she has the heart to ask, he should answer it well.
It's just that Su Xun didn't directly state the reason, but asked: "Does Jiaojiao know what conditions must be met first if you want to expand your territory?"
Su Yunjiao is used to being a person who doesn't like to use her brain, just waiting for other people's answers, and when she encounters this kind of question, she usually replies that she doesn't know and it's over, if someone entangles her again, she may be angry again. But Su Yunjiao, who has memories of her previous life, can no longer be perfunctory with a sentence of "I don't know".
"First of all, the people must be united. Combined with the memories of her previous life, Su Yunjiao gave this answer. In the country of Beimu, it seems that it is not very stable, and the struggle between the two forces is more serious than that of Tianqi.
"Jiaojiao is really smart. Su Xun said with a smile, "Jiaojiao can know that Beimu is not stable now, and the two major forces in the territory, the Yelu clan and the Tuoba clan, have not given in to each other for a long time. ”
Su Yunjiao frowned, and then asked, "The Yelu clan is the Beimu royal family, how can they allow the Tuoba clan's power to expand to the point where they are on par with them?"
But it wasn't what they wanted. Su Xun explained, "Twenty years ago, there was a big battle between Tianqi and Beimu......
Before Su Xun finished speaking, Su Yunjiao preemptively said: "I know this 'Battle of the Iron Gate', which lasted for three years, and finally ended with a great victory in Tianqi, and Beimu retreated to the grassland within the fire pass." The current situation of Beimu is not a hidden danger left at that time. ”
"Yes," Gu Quxi, who had been listening to the brother and sister, interjected, "The battle is over, and the badly injured Northern Mu Great Khan Yelu Astu died on the way back to Lihuoguan, causing the Northern Herd to be leaderless and the political situation to be turbulent. ”
"Doesn't he have a son, how can he let the Tuoba clan come from behind, or is it a tiger father and a dog, his son has no ability?" asked Su Yunjiao.
Su Xun said with a smile: "No, his son Gu is a talent, all of them are brave, and it can even be said that the blue is better than the blue." It's a pity that none of them accept anyone, and the Great Khan of Beimu died too suddenly, and did not leave a will about the throne. ”
Su Yunjiao said: "That...... , the Tuoba clan took advantage of this opportunity to rise?"
"Yes. Su Xun bowed his head slightly and said, "The Yelu clan is too busy to take care of itself, and he doesn't have the energy to care about others at all." The Tuoba clan is not in a hurry to reveal his ambitions, while silently strengthening his power in secret, adding wings, and on the other hand, he is maneuvering between the three princes, openly taking refuge in the eldest prince, but in the shadows with the second prince and the third prince. ”
Su Yunjiao smiled and quipped: "It seems that this Tuoba clan is still a hot item, and the three princes all want to get his support." ”
"It's exactly as Jiaojiao said. It was Gu Quxi who spoke, "The Tuoba clan is one of the most wealthy families in Beimu, and the children of the clan are all brave and good at fighting, with countless military exploits, plus they have been inherited for a long time, and their prestige is also heavy. If any of the three princes can get the help of the Tuoba family, the odds of winning will be greatly increased. ”
Su Xun shook his head and said, "It's not that the odds of winning have increased greatly, but the key to determining the odds." The three princes were equal at that time, and the top and bottom of the North Mu had already stood on the faction, although there was still neutrality, but it was only a minority, and it did not play any role, and it was almost impossible to say that whoever had the support of the behemoth of the Tuoba clan would be the winner. ”
Su Yunjiao nodded: "No wonder he can be left and right, even if the three princes know, they don't dare to touch him easily." ”
Gu Quxi also said: "Yes, the three princes are equal, and the Tuoba clan is not without the power to fight back, if he is forced to be anxious, it will undoubtedly push this help into the opponent's camp." If you don't get it right, you have to damage yourself and get out early. ”
Su Xun said again: "That's right, if you want to win over the Tuoba clan, you can only promise them the benefits they want, the more the better." ”
Therefore, the Tuoba clan is the winner of this game, tsk, it is really a model of snipe and clam competition, and fishermen profit. Su Yunjiao said with emotion.
Su Xun smiled, Jiaojiao is smart, and continued: "If it weren't for this, no matter how powerful the Tuoba clan is, it won't have the strength to compete with the Yelu royal family. Later, no one expected that this battle for the throne was won by no one, and the three princes died one after another, and in the end, only the eldest prince still had a vein behind him, and the battle for the throne that was vigorously launched in Beimu came to an end. ”
After hearing this, Su Yunjiao felt something, what are those small fights in her family, the battle for the throne is the most thrilling and fierce, the most unpredictable. Why did the three princes of Beimu die one after another, Su Yunjiao didn't want to continue to ask, she didn't need to use her brain to know that there must be a conspiracy in it, maybe there was still Tianqi's figure inside, such a terrifying thing, she still didn't want to know.
Su Yunjiao wasn't going to ask, and Su Xun didn't plan to go deeper. Everything must be done in moderation, just open your eyes, you don't have to go too deep, and you don't expect Jiaojiao to seek a country in the future. What's more, he really doesn't want those filthy and dirty conspiracies to be counted in Jiaojiao's ears, his sister only needs to be stable and simple, and the rest is with him.
Gu Tianbo, who had been listening for a long time, saw that they were finished, so he leaned over and asked: "Actually, I have never understood, how can the Tuoba clan be on the same par with the Yelu clan?
Su Xun glanced at him and said lightly: "During the 'Battle of the Iron Gate', everyone in the world knew that King Duan was in charge and Lin Xiang was in charge of the army, but no one knew that Lin Xiang had entered the territory of Beimu and secretly invited the leader of the Tuoba clan to talk. ”
It turned out that there was this, Gu Tianbo instantly understood the meaning of Su Xun's words, Lin Xiang's move was really extraordinary! Su Yunjiao, who also heard this, also nodded secretly in her heart, well, her sixth brother's master is amazing!
"As for loyalty," Su Xun smiled, "what can make the Northern Shepherd loyal and surrender is a powerful force, not a family." The fact that the Tuoba clan was faithful to Yelu Astus did not mean that he could be faithful to his son. "Besides, what loyalty can a person who is already ambitious have in the face of absolute interests?
After speaking, Su Xun said to Su Yunjiao: "The Tuoba clan is powerful, Yelu is in decline, if Beimu wants to go south to Tianqi, he needs to wait until there is a result in the dispute between the two families." At present, the two families have been in a stalemate, and it is difficult for major changes to occur, either until the old Tuoba dies, or until the little Yelu really matures, these will take time, but it will not be delayed forever. They all understand that in addition to the civil strife, there is also our Tianqi watching from the sidelines. ”
"Ten years, there must be a decision within ten years, because in ten years, Tianqi's national strength will be restored to its peak, and it will be up to them to fight or not at that time. ”
"I see. Su Yunjiao nodded and was taught.
Although their brother and sister were discussing, they did not deliberately lower their voices to the point that everyone could not hear them, and everyone present silently digested what they heard after listening, and was speechless for a while.
Gu Xiyi looked at Su Xun and once again affirmed his excellence, no one in his own family could compare to him. Even so, he still felt relieved and proud, after all, he was his own grandson. In another ten years, not only will the Northern Pastoral Association decide a result, but they will also change their heavenly prayers, a new generation will replace the old, they are all old, it is time to give way to the young people.
By then...... Gu Xiyi shook his head and looked at Su Xun again, if there is no accident, this grandson must be one of the most outstanding among the young people.
Mrs. Chu didn't care about Xiyi's emotion so much, but said: "Your brothers and sisters have been chatting with themselves for a long time, but they have left us all aside, do you want to be punished?"
Su Xun smiled when she heard this, but Su Yunjiao's face turned red, blinked, and called pitifully: "Grandmother, it's not good for Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao knows it's wrong, grandmother don't punish me and the sixth brother, okay?"
Mrs. Chu was just joking, but when she heard Su Yunjiao say this, she suddenly lost her temper and said with a smile: "Oh, where is my grandmother willing to punish you, it's too late to hurt!"
Gu Tianbo listened, and sighed in a low voice: "This is also you, if it were our grandmother, you would have come up with a cane." ”
Gu Quxi nodded approvingly.
After speaking, the old lady Chu said: "I have been talking about Liangzhou for a long time, but I don't know what happened to the Huai River? The emperor is ready to send troops to clean up the Huai River bandits?"
"That's exactly what happened. Gu Xiyi said, "The Huai River bandits are becoming more and more rampant, if they are left unchecked, they may become a big trouble, and they will discuss with the ministers about suppressing bandits as soon as possible." ”
"It's long overdue. Mrs. Chu nodded, and then asked, "Is there a candidate?"
Gu Xiyi slowed down, and said, "The emperor is interested in Xiuluan." ”
Gu Xiuluan is Su Yunjiao's third uncle, but Mrs. Chu heard it without hesitation, and said: "Then let Xiuluan go, a good man should serve the country with all his ability." As he spoke, he glared at Gu Xiyi again, "Don't stop it, Xiuluan's skills should be used on the battlefield, otherwise the hardships of childhood will be in vain!"
Gu Xiyi looked at his wife with a smile and said, "My Gu family has been in the army for generations, how can I not understand this, how can I selfishly stop my son because I am afraid that my son will have an accident on the battlefield." ”
"Bah, what happens to an accident, Xiuluan won't have an accident!" Old Mrs. Chu said angrily, "How can anyone curse his son for an accident at every turn, the older he gets, the more he can't speak!"
Gu Xiyi said busily: "Yes, yes, what Madam said is yes, it's mine, it's not mine." "But in my heart, I was helpless, I really didn't say anything right, hey.
Everyone in the hall felt funny, but they were all elders, but they couldn't laugh out loud, so they had to hold back silently.
Zhao listened and watched, and thought in his heart that there must be happiness between the old lady and the old marquis, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. I hope they will do the same in the future. Thinking about it, Zhao turned his head to look at Gu Hanhai's handsome face, Gu Hanhai noticed her gaze, turned his head and smiled at her, and secretly tightened her hand.
Zhao's heart warmed, and his confidence doubled, their future is not the same, it is certain.
