Half a month ago, Linghu Feng got married again, married Song Fang's younger sister, and made her queen.

However, it is said that when it comes to marriage in the "Book of Rites", it is said that "those who faint will combine the two surnames, go up to the temple, and go down to the future generations, so the gentleman is important", since the pre-Qin period, the marriage of the Chinese people is the combination of the "two surnames". Concubines and maids can be accepted at will, but there can only be one wife. And doesn't Linghu Feng already have Zuo as the queen? How can you make another queen?

This is related to a special phenomenon that has emerged in recent times.

It is that since the previous dynasty, due to the separation of wars and political purposes, it has gradually evolved from the traditional monogamy to the current one-man gamy.

Linghu Feng married the Song family and established her as the queen of the Zuo family, which was precisely for political purposes.

Now the first-class scholars in Longzhou, Yin, Suo and other surnames have declined, and there are still Song, Koji, Zhang, Yan and other families.

Although the Jiangzuo imperial family is subject to the Shi clan, the power of the kings of the Dingxi Kingdom is already relatively large, but Linghu Feng is a male master, but he is still dissatisfied with this, what he wants is not to be restricted at all, and he can fully realize his desires and ambitions.

Therefore, he will adopt Tang Ai's suggestion to "weaken the gate valve".

The power of the valve clan is strong, blindly suppressing it is not enough, suppressing it too ruthlessly, it may provoke resistance, therefore, Tang Ai gave Linghu another idea, that is, "choose a valve clan, marry a daughter of his family, and establish himself as the queen".

Song, Koji, Zhang, and Fan, Koji Shuo is Linghu Feng's uncle, if you can win over another family, then a balanced situation will be formed between the valve clans, and at this time, the royal power will be added to it, and the balance of power will naturally tilt towards Linghu Feng's side.

I have to say that Tang Ai's strategy is indeed good.

Linghu was as good as a stream and accepted his proposal.

After consideration, because of Song Fang's close relationship with his general horn, he chose the Song family as the object of marriage.

As a result, there was a move to marry Song Fang's younger sister and set up a queen.

This marriage was originally due to political reasons, but after marrying the Song family, Linghu Feng found that he had picked up a treasure.

Song is not very beautiful, but the figure is outstanding, especially good at internal charm, water and drought, cold and cold, all kinds of skills, like natural, I don't know if this is her family learning, or she has no teacher, in short, since the night of the candle in the cave room, Linghu Feng tasted, half a month, it is a change of the old state, not to mention the other women in the palace, even Bin Yaoguan has not been there for half a time.

Government affairs and the like are gradually becoming abandoned.

He used to go to the palace every day to manage the government, but now he only goes once every two or three days, and when he goes to the palace, he can't keep his soul, and he always hasn't worked for half a day, so he hurriedly runs back to Lingjuntai to find Song's happiness.

Ling Hufeng is almost forty years old this year, but he looks like he has a second spring.

Therefore, on the third day of Xin'er's book to the royal capital, he had time to watch it.

After reading it quickly at a glance, Ling Hu Feng said to Chen Sun and Tang Ai who were accompanying him as if complaining: "Agua this guy, no matter how big or small, report to me!" I've already taught him a lesson last time, but it didn't work! ”

Chen Sunnuo was just a promise, and there was no connection.

Tang Ai asked, "I don't know what General Xin reported?" ”

Beigong Yue sent him a military report, saying that Rouran might be going south in the near future and asked for reinforcements to the West Sea. He asked for my approval. ”

Linghu Feng spread the paper and picked up the pen, and while giving Xin Er a palindrome, he said to Tang Ai, "Xihai is one of the three counties under the supervision of Agua, and the defense of Rouran is to go south to plunder, this is his own military, I really don't know what to report to me!" And that lame Zhang Turtle, he wants to join the army for the board, and the 'board grant' is not an officer, although the turtle is disabled, he is in addition to it, why ask me! ”

Tang Ai said: "This is also General Xin's loyalty. ”

"Agua, everything is good, it's just too honest."

Linghu Feng was dissatisfied in his mouth, and he was actually very satisfied with Xin Er's "no matter how big or small" he reported, and casually made an evaluation to Xin Er, wrote the palindrome, sealed it, and asked the outdoor attendant Fu Yousi to send it to Jiankang County.

Tang Ai cautiously glanced at Linghu Feng, lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he raised his head again and glanced at Linghu Feng again.

His small movements were fully watched by Linghu Feng.

Linghu Feng smiled: "Qianli, if you have anything to say, just say it, what are you doing secretly?" ”

Tang Ai said: "Yes, yes. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "I don't know whether to say this or not. ”

"You say, there's nothing to say."

The more he looked at Tang Ai, the more pleasing he felt to the fox. The strategy of "weakening the valve clan" is very much in line with his heart, not to mention it, just because of this strategy, marrying the treasure of the Song family is a great achievement of Tang Ai.

Tang Ai said: "King Shenwu Tianzong. In this troubled time, Ai dared to guess that the king must want to make immortal achievements. ”

Linghu Feng heard the string song, knew the elegant meaning, and did not wait for Tang Ai to finish speaking, knowing the meaning, and said with a smile: "Qianli, you want to advise me to be far away and not to waste political affairs, right?" ”

Tang Ai sneered and said, "The minister's slight thoughts, the king can see through it at a glance." ”

Linghu Feng asked Chen Sun: "Old Chen, do you think the same way?" ”

Chen Sun replied: "Civil couples, there is a newlywed Yan'er. Although the king is noble, he is ruthless? And the so-called 'Qi family, level the world', the king and the queen of the Song Dynasty are like glue, the family has been Qi, how can the world be flat? This is a blessing for the country! ”

Linghu Feng nodded a little Chen Sun, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, you are a flatterer!" ”

Chen Sun's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "There are so many things in the imperial court, which is enough for the king to worry about; Sun is a close minister, how can he make the king unhappy again? ”

Tang Ai glanced at Chen Sun, and said in his heart: "Old slippery head! Why have I become the one who upsets the king? ”

Whether Ling Hufeng was unhappy or not, Tang Ai didn't know, anyway, Chen Sun's words made him very "unhappy".

He said: "Great King, the righteousness of the Xianbei tribes of Beishan has been roughly compiled from Hu Bing. On the side of the Marquis of Li, there have already been two military letters urging them. However, the list of candidates for military officials reported to the king has not yet been approved by the king, and he has not been able to send Hu soldiers to him so far. ”

After the internal migration of Lu Shuihu in Xin'er, the imperial court carried out the internal migration and formation of troops to Beishan Xianbei, Xirong and other Hu tribes one after another.

First, there was the military might of Xin Er who broke Lu Shuihu in front, so that Beishan Xianbei and other departments saw the determination of the imperial court, and let them see the combat effectiveness of the elite troops of Dingxi again.

Second, he also learned the lesson of Lu Shuihu's "rebellion", and for the internal migration and formation of troops in Beishan Xianbei and Xirong, Linghu Feng listened to Tang Ai's suggestion, changed his strategy, and adopted a softer policy, that is, no longer forced internal migration, but instead used the policy of "righteousness and obedience to Hu".

Because of this, it only took more than two months to complete the Beishan Xianbei Hu draw and form an army.

"Yicong Hu" is a specific term that refers specifically to a kind of army composed of Hu people and led by Tang people.

In this kind of army, the soldiers are basically Hu people, and the middle- and upper-level and even low-level military commanders are all Tang people.

- The Hu knights in Lan Bao's command are also composed of all Hu people, and they are not called righteous and subordinate to Hu, because they already belong to the "scholar register" and are already soldiers of the Dingxi Kingdom. Compared with the soldiers of Yiconghu, who only participated in the army individually, they were able to have some autonomy, they had no autonomy at all, and even their families were detained and managed by the imperial court.

The current situation of this Yiconghu army formed by Beishan Xianbei is that the soldiers have been organized and formed into units, and the nobles of the various Hu tribes who have played the role of assistants, such as the bald Boye of the bald department, have also arrived, and only the officers of the Tang people have not yet been decided.

In autumn, not only was Longbei in danger of being invaded by Rouran to the south, but there was also the possibility of war on the borders between Longdong and Puqin, and between Longdong and Ranxing.

In order to strengthen the garrison and enhance his own strength, Koji Shuo had already asked Linghu Feng to wait for Beishan Xianbei's righteous cong Hu to be prepared, hoping to allocate some to him. Linghu Feng has the intention of attacking the Zhang family, the Fan family and other valve clans, and currently needs the support of Koji Shuo, and agrees to his request in principle.

But because the Tang officers have not been decided, it has caused Ko Shuo to urge him with two military letters in a row, and Tang Ai, who is currently the right Sima of the Governor's Mansion and is in charge of the number of troops and other matters, has no way to transfer some of the righteous servants to Hu and him.

Linghu Feng said: "I don't approve the list of military officials. Your chosen ruler is not good. ”

The Song side was the long history of the Governor's Office, and the list of military officials was drawn up under the leadership of the Song side and the participation of Tang Ai and others.

They chose two people to be the chief officials of this Yiconghu, one was from the Song family and the other was from the Koji family.

Tang Ai said: "The two chief officers are both recommended by Song Changshi, and they both have the name of knowing soldiers. Dare to ask the king, what is the not? ”

Linghu Feng frowned and said, "That kid of the Song family, in his early twenties, has not yet grown up, how can he lead troops?" The one in the koji family, we know each other when we beat the kids, and I know that he has a pinch of hair on his buttocks! How many pounds and taels does he have, can he suppress the untamed Hulu, can I not know? ”

"Is there a replacement for the king?"

"Back then, I crusaded against the rebellion, and made Huqu my subordinate general, and the bloody battle in Dunhuang relied on his strength. This person is available. ”

Linghu Qu is the son of the small sect of the Linghu clan, and now leads the troops to garrison the capital.

Tang Ai immediately understood what Ling Hu Feng meant.

Whether it is "the hair is not full", or "there is a pinch of hair on the buttocks", it is just an excuse, and it is true that Ling Hu Feng wants to hand over this righteousness from Hu to the clan leader. It is good to win over the Song family and the Koji family, but there must be a limit to the extent to which they can be wooed, and they must not make concessions when it comes to military power.

Knowing Ling Hufeng's thoughts, Tang Ai had no friendship with the Koji and Song families, so he would not fight for them, so he responded immediately: "Yes." When the ministers returned to the governor's mansion, they conveyed the king's order to Song Changshi. ”

"The other military officers are acceptable. You change Linghu Qu to the chief officer, and then give it to me, and after I approve it, you will allocate troops to the Marquis of Koji. ”

"No."

"As for what you said, I was told to stay away from women......." Linghu Feng laughed, and said, "Qianli, what's so difficult about this?" ”

He did what he said, and from the next day, he really stopped messing with the Song family day and night, and he was diligent in his daily work, as in the past.

Linghu Feng's palindrome was sent expedited, and it took less than two days to arrive in Jiankang County.

The messenger entered the county hall and bumped into a bald monk head-on.
