Chapter 204: Two goals
Di Ziyu is the son of the patriarch of the Qiang tribe, and the Qiang tribe is the second largest clan in the Xia country after the Xiongnu.
Although the number of Qiang people is not large, they are all people who can control the strings, Tuoba Tao originally thought that he would use the Qiang people to defend the Xiongnu remnants left by the Xia State, so he also gave Di Ziyu great favor.
He gave the fourth princess Helian Mingzhu to Di Ziyu, in addition to the fact that Helian Mingzhu really didn't suit his appetite, there was also a reason that he wanted to show favor to Helian Ding and Di Ziyu at the same time.
Since Helian Mingzhu and Di Ziyu are in love, then his adult beauty, even if it is Helian Ding, it cannot be said that he is a person who is greedy for beauty and treats heroes lightly.
Later, he accepted another princess Helian who had no glamorous name but was lovely, as his wife, also to appease the hearts of the people of Xia Kingdom. He personally prefers gentle and generous women, preferably with a degree of advance and retreat, smart and soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
But he thought that Di Ziyujue had no possibility of rebellion, because even if Helian Ding said that he was moved, there were still tens of thousands of Qiang people left behind him in the Xia Kingdom, so he was not afraid that he would get angry all of a sudden and vent his anger with the Qiang people?
If Di Ziyu was really sure that he was a good-natured person, then he guessed wrong.
Tuoba Tao pondered, is it in order for Tuoba Huang to be born safely to cultivate his self-cultivation and cultivate his nature, and to kill less evil, after a long time, these people have forgotten their murderous name?
I forgot his means of suppressing Bailonghu!
After getting such a military report in the account, Xi Jin, who was chasing Helian Chang, was trapped in Anding, the road was cut off, and there was no news at all, which made Tuoba Tao even more irritable. He repelled everyone and asked Cui Hao to investigate the whole story, leaving only He Mullan and starting to ask about something.
"I heard Cui Taichang say that the news that Helian Ding crossed from Rouran to the west was transmitted by your former Tonghuo Di Yefei?"
It was precisely because the news came back that they estimated the time when Helian would definitely arrive and sent troops and horses to "wait for the rabbit".
"Yes. Di Yefei also led the chariot soldiers to steal their horses. When Helian arrived in the Xia Kingdom, he was already sleepy and lacked horses, and he didn't have the strength to fight."
He Mullan nodded.
"Killing ghosts is your same fire, and several people who are valued by the ancient servants are your same fire, and this Di Yefei is also your same fire. Mulan, how many strange people do you still have in the same fire, so that I can continue to be impressed?"
Tuoba Tao said jokingly.
He Mulan's "power scheme" is only about 10 Cheng dù, and he can't understand what Tuoba Tao means, so he can only puff his head and say: "Although my fellow firefighters in the army are from different backgrounds and have different martial arts, they are all loyal and patriotic people. Even if it is a ghost killing, it is a military feat that has been killed all the way, and the life is frank and open......"
He Mulan thought of Di Yefei and sighed even more.
"Di Yefei was born to a woman and a high-speed car man in Shanshan Country in the Western Regions, since he was a child, he was as beautiful as a woman, he was discriminated against, and when he entered the army, he was often treated as a woman, but he was never discouraged, and he wanted to make some achievements to prove that he was an iron-clad man. This time he went to Rouran to act as a messenger, it was a matter of nine deaths, and he went without hesitation, hoping that he could come to this world as a man without humiliation......"
She and Di Yefei have known each other in two lives, and their feelings for him are naturally different from others. Especially in this life, Di Yefei's feelings are more forbearant and his mind is more mature, and He Mulan has more respect for him.
"You're really not taking credit. Several people have also been recommended by you in front of me. It's good that your same fire can have a fire like yours."
Tuoba Tao replied to her with a smile, "It's just a pity that Di Yefei's birth and death still allowed Helian to escape. But it's better to escape, at most it takes some effort to chase him back back, it's better than really killing yourself on the border of the Xia Kingdom......"
"Your Majesty cherishes talents, which is admirable."
Hermulan was telling the truth. The Mulan she wore in the past is a living example.
"It's not that I cherish talents, but Xia Guo is the first country to be destroyed by me, and I always have to behave like a corporal of Lixian. There are not many talents in our Wei country, and most of them are controlled by gate valves, and if you want to appoint talents, you must be eclectic. I am very optimistic about you, although you are from an ordinary background, but you have amazing talent and intelligence, and you should be a thousand-mile horse. You are a thousand miles of horses, I will be a Bole, and it can be regarded as a gentleman and a minister."
Tuoba Tao spoke highly of Hermulan.
"Haha, I've always felt that it's easier to get along with my courtiers than women, I treat my subordinates and my wife...... No, it's more intimate than looking at the wife's room. It's just that I couldn't have imagined that I treated Di Ziyu well, and he was as capricious as a woman......"
Your mother's is like being sent up with a heart, but being thrown on the ground and trampled on.
He Mullan probably understood Tuobatao's feelings. The annoyance is not that he lost his people, but that he was deceived, and he lost his wife and his soldiers.
Well, if the "beautiful" fourth princess was really the childless Queen Helian later, Tuoba Tao would have really lost his wife.
At this time, it was already noon, and the eunuch who was waiting in the tent asked Tuoba Tao when he would eat, and Tuoba Tao had been through the ups and downs of the morning, and he completely forgot that it was noon.
He was tall and exercised, and unlike everyone else, he had to eat four meals a day. Fortunately, the food is never adjusted, so although in the Montenegrin camp, I also eat with other generals, and four meals are nothing.
He Mulan asked to retreat again, but was held down by Tuoba Tao's shoulder.
"It's nothing, I like to leave someone to eat with me when I eat, and it tastes more delicious. Don't go and dine with me.".
[,! It's going to be indigestion, isn't it?
In this era of the meal system, it is not a plate, what is the taste of food!
Tuoba Tao agreed to eat, and immediately a waiter ordered the meal to be served, and another palace person came in to serve. When I was in Montenegro City, because it was a micro-service, only "Zhao Ming" and Zhao Ni were two attendants, serving food, clothing, housing and transportation, and when they arrived at the camp in Montenegro, the royal car and the royal family tent were stationed, all the waiters arrived, and it was a big move to eat.
Even if He Mullan had seen a similar scene in Kumoti's tent, he had a faint stomach ache at this time.
The food of this era is really not delicious, sometimes the well-cooked "food", He Mulan does not taste as good as Hu Cake, at this time, seeing that Tuoba Tao wants to eat, a bunch of clean hands and people who hold the case have begun to look forward to the food he eats.
As a result, as soon as the meal came up, He Mullan was dumbfounded.
What is the big market......
Meat?
You're the emperor, don't you want to be so rough!
I'm not hungry at all, hey!
Tuoba Tao didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he took the knife and began to cut the meat.
"Eat this roasted lamb, the ...... offered by the chariot man"
High...... Roast lamb offered by the man of the high cart......
Wasn't that yesterday?
Feelings, you still eat overnight dishes!
Tuoba Tao's close ministers all knew that Tuoba Tao was not particular about eating, and he never felt that it was a gift to stay in the palace to eat, but He Mulan had no way to know about it. How much she had expectations in her heart, how much disappointment she had now.
It's just like the Korean king in the Korean drama said "I want to eat", and the palace maids put on a big show and put on a bunch of kimchi.
It's just too contrasting, okay?
Seeing that Tuoba Tao was eating happily, He Mulan took a knife and cut a piece and put it in his mouth.
The taste is still into. At this time, there is no chili cumin, it is nothing more than some garlic sauce, it can be roasted like this, or reheated and roasted, which is already good.
She casually ate a few other dishes, all of which were big meat, and her stomach was suddenly greasy, and she just wanted to eat some staple food.
"You're here just in time, when I came from Pingcheng, I got some good rice from the south, and you can also eat a big bowl to see the flavor of the south."
Tuoba Tao suddenly said something that brought tears to Hermulan's eyes.
Good rice to the south?
Could it be rice?
Is it rice?
Oh, my God! She has eaten chestnut rice here for so many years, and finally there is rice to eat!
She's a southerner, and she's eaten so long of Hu Cake and choking chestnut rice!
The reality was not so cruel that He Mullan was slammed, and after a while, someone brought a small case up, on which a bowl of rice with filial piety was held in exquisite lacquerware, and a pair of chopsticks were placed next to it.
He Mulan washed his oily hands with the help of the palace people next to him, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of chopsticks and rice, and the familiar taste filled his tongue, and tears immediately flowed down his eyes.
That's the smell!
"You, why are you so exaggerated......" Tuoba Tao just ate two mouthfuls of rice, just roasted sheep, and didn't feel anything disobedient, when he looked up and saw He Mulan crying while eating, he laughed: "It's just some rice, how can you cry like this!"
How do you know my hardships!
In this era, even my stomach has changed!
I used to be a spicy person! There's not even a chili pepper here!
He Mulan wiped his tears.
"Let His Majesty smile, I just felt that His Majesty actually gave me such a delicacy, and I couldn't help but be moved all of a sudden."
"I thought you were a pampered person, and I didn't expect a bowl of rice to put you away. Zhao Ni ......"
Tuoba Tao began to evoke his own servants.
"In."
"Put the rice in a bag for Mulan. Anyway, I'm eating fresh, so let's go back and change the taste for him."
"Yes."
As soon as Tuoba Tao said this, He Mulan really burst into tears.
A pocket!
It may be that He Mulan's expression is too scary, and Tuoba Tao smiled even more heartily, and even ate an extra bowl of rice.
'Is this food so delicious?' I used to think rice was unpalatable......
Before Tuoba Tao ascended the throne, the first emperor had just defeated Liu Song of the Northern Expedition. At that time, the emperor of the Song State had just died of illness and was succeeded by the crown prince, and Tuoba took advantage of the fact that the old emperor had just died, but the new emperor was a fool who only liked to kill pigs in the palace, so he led the army south and occupied a large piece of land such as the Tiger Prison.
And not long after, the first emperor Tuoba Hei also fell ill and died, and Tuoba Tao encountered almost the same thing as the Song State - the Rouran Khan saw that the old emperor had died, and the new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and also sent troops south to Yunzhong.
It's just that the ending is different, Tuoba succeeded in seizing a large territory for Wei, and Tuoba Tao defended the north and beat Rouran back.
The pig-killing emperor of the Song State was too mediocre, and was abolished by the minister of Gu Ming, and he established Liu Yilong, a well-known uncle, as the emperor.
Liu Yilong and Liu Song's new emperor almost ascended the throne at about the same time, and the age difference was only one year old, this large country in the south and the north, and at the same time was succeeded by the young emperor, and at the same time, they were all □□ by the enemy country just after they ascended the throne, and suddenly became the object of the world's attention, and there was a posture of comparing the two in private.
Tuoba Tao is good at martial arts, attacking cities and villages, crusading against enemy troops, and never defeated. Liu Yilong, the new emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, was good at governing the country, and he was a brilliant man. [,! There is also a city government, good at balancing domestic forces, and the northern Tuoba Tao submitted a letter of state, did not continue the war, and soon the military generals of the civil and military concentrics unanimously improved the national strength, the two countries can be regarded as a honeymoon period, Song and Wei have been greatly developed at this time.
At this time, although there was no trade between the north and the south, the Song state in the south often offered some things to the Wei state in the north from time to time.
Although this rice is indeed from the south, it is not the season for new rice to go on the market, and Tuoba Tao also brings old rice, but He Mulan still eats it very fragrant.
She knew that in a few years, the Song Kingdom would be so rich that it would have no money, and she would come to the Northern Expedition again, and after being disabled this time, the Song Kingdom had completely cut off the way of friendship, and it was even more difficult to eat rice again.
Until He Mulan first wore to Mulan, the north and south were not smooth, otherwise there would be no Yuan family head to master the smuggling route, and all forces wanted to occupy it.
He Mulan ate happily, Tuoba Tao ate freely and heroically, and after a while, Tuoba Tao ate first and shouted "Zhao Ming" to come in and wait for the clean face to wash his hands and gargle.
He was still very satisfied with this eunuch.
Not to mention anything else, he likes to use eunuchs instead of palace maids, because he often fights, most of the eunuchs around him are also proficient in martial arts, with rough skin and thick meat.
And he doesn't know Xianbei yet, sometimes he is a little dissatisfied with those ministers in his heart, and he scolds a few words like "ancient pen" in front of him, and he is not afraid to spread it.
After Helian Mingzhu entered the account, he saw that He Mulan was also eating, and there were tears on his face, so he couldn't help but be stunned and looked at him a few more times.
In her mind, such a hero should be one who sheds blood without tears.
What could make him cry?
Even though she was a little unhappy with Meng Lang of He Mulan, she still liked He Mulan after all, and couldn't help but look at her twice.
Tuoba Tao was served by Helian Mingzhu, and remembered what he had said to He Mulan before the meal, and he felt depressed in his heart and continued to talk.
"I used to think that Princess Helian didn't look like this, and if she rewarded her, she would be rewarded, and I thought that Di Ziyu really liked that woman, so I praised her as a goddess and a fairy......"
He thought that this little eunuch couldn't understand Xianbei's words, and there was no psychological pressure to say such a thing.
"Now it seems that Di Ziyu doesn't know how to lift at all."
He Mulan looked at Tuoba Tao in surprise, wondering why he had talked about Princess Helian again.
"I can give him a beautiful flower, and I can take away his beautiful flower. He repeated it like this, and I turned around and made an order to bring the four princesses back......"
Tuoba Tao finished wiping his hands and handed the towel to "Zhao Ming".
"At most, I'll be a little wronged and take another princess. I'll see if Helian wants that brother-in-law or this sister! "
Hermulan's mouth opened wide.
Could it be that Queen Helian was married for the second time?
[Zhao Ming? Zhao Ming? Why don't you take the towel yet, what are you doing stupidly! 】
