Chapter 232: Princess Tyran
Just when Tailan didn't even hesitate to add chips to make a promise, Qu Ping spoke.
Qu Ping thought about it seriously and said: "The Three Buddhas have always been good friends with our court, but now the princess and the court are in trouble, and this king can't stay out of the matter when he arrives here." I can try to accept your proposal, but in the end, it has been decided that this king will have to return to the court to restore the emperor at a later date. ”
Tyran said happily: "Thank you, Lord Wang! ”
"It's a blessing that you don't have to hitch yourself up!" Tyran said luckily in his heart, and then thought, "If you catch yourself, will you be ruthlessly rejected?" ”
"Since you have offered such superior conditions, I can't help but repay the favor." Qu Ping said, "The Srivijaya Strait is the lifeline of your country, and my Great Song Dynasty can send troops to help Srivijaya garrison and defend the strait all year round, and will also invest artillery!" ”
Tailan had seen the power of the cannon, and Qu Ping actually said that he could also put the cannon into the defense of the Three Buddhas, and his heart was full of joy, and he said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
"Don't be too happy just yet." Qu Ping poured cold water on her and said, "The first hurdle at the moment is to enter the palace smoothly and sit on the throne." Otherwise, the big deal we are talking about now is all empty talk! ”
"Please fulfill it!" Tyran laughed.
Since Qu Ping said that he wanted to help, he would definitely help to the end and send the Buddha to the west.
Qu Ping smiled: "Drink tea." ”
Xiao Lu took out the exquisite dress that she tried on for Tailan yesterday and said, "Sister Tailan, this skirt, you wore it very well yesterday, so I'll give it to you!" ”
Tailan took the skirt that Xiao Luqiang stuffed into his hand, a little at a loss: "How ...... Thank you, ma'am. ”
"It's been a long time since I've worn a daughter's outfit, right? Come, go to the inner room, change into it now, it must be beautiful! Xiao Lu couldn't help but pull the six gods and no master Tailan to the back room to change clothes.
Tyran changed into his skirt with mixed emotions and excitement, and spun around several times in front of the bronze mirror, feeling that he had suddenly changed from an ugly duckling to a phoenix.
Xiao Lu looked at the long strip of cloth that Tyran took off from her upper body, it turned out that she had been using the strip of cloth to restrain her two advantages.
Tyran embarrassedly grabbed the long strip of cloth and stuffed it into the men's clothes he had changed, smiling wryly, hiding his hands behind his back.
Xiao Lu pretended not to pay attention to this matter, opened her wardrobe, and said, "Sister Tailan, you can choose whatever you like!" ”
Tyran was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "Madame, don't need it, I have clothes." ”
"Now that you're back to being a princess, how can you wear men's clothes again? Come, what do you think of this? And this one? I'm dressed a little smaller, and my sister is a little more slender and fits better than me. Xiao Lu turned out her clothes one by one and showed them to Tailan.
Tyran was so touched that he wanted to cry.
Xiao Lu said: "I'm about to become beautiful, why are you crying?" If my sister doesn't mind, we can be sisters in the future! ”
Tyran couldn't hold back, tears still flowed out. She choked up and cried out, "Sister......"
Xiao Lu smiled and helped her wipe away her tears, and said, "Okay, today is the day when you announce to the world that you are your daughter, be happy!" Come, look at the clothes. ”
Tailan turned crying into laughter, and under Xiao Lu's kind invitation, he picked two sets inside and out.
When Tailan was pulled out by Xiao Lu, Qu Ping was also a little impressed by the new Tailan, and couldn't help but praise: "Princess Tailan finally doesn't have to be dusty with Mingzhu, these clothes are so compatible with you!" ”
Tailan said a little shyly: "Thank you for your praise...... It's nothing, I'll go back first? ”
"Oh, good." Qu Ping shouted to Feng Chao outside, "Feng Chao, take Princess Tailan back to the house to rest." Also, in the future, you will be responsible for protecting Princess Tyran! ”
Feng Chao was stunned as he watched Tailan Shanshan, who was dressed in women's clothes, come out, and his eyes were straight. For so many days, I actually ate and slept in the same room with a beautiful woman every day, and moreover, it was still ...... Princess!
Tailan looked at Feng Chao who was standing outside stupidly, sighed faintly in his heart, and then took the lead in walking forward.
Qu Ping saw Feng Chao stunned and said, "What a fool, don't go quickly!" ”
Feng Chao came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, right away!" After walking a few steps, he ran back and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wang, do you still want to sleep in the same room?" ”
"What do you say?" Qu Ping looked at Feng Chao like a fool.
"Oh." Feng Chao answered, and went to chase Tailan. Thinking in my heart, what does the prince mean, is it together or not?
Qu Ping turned around and saw Xiao Lu looking at him with a mysterious smile, and asked her, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Xiao Lu said: "I know what you think!" ”
"It's good to know, don't talk nonsense." After Qu Ping finished speaking, he picked up the tea and sent it to his mouth.
"Sister Tyran, isn't she? Do you want to take her? ”
Qu Ping almost choked on his lungs with a sip of tea, and said while coughing, "Are you trying to murder your husband?" ”
Xiao Lu hurriedly helped Qu Ping pat his back from the bottom up, and didn't forget to continue the topic just now: "Then do you think so?" ”
Qu Pingxin said, I haven't accepted her for so long with Tana in Mongolia, and I'm only going to accept Tailan in a few days, is there something wrong with me!
Qu Ping scolded: "Is your brain broken? Or do you think your husband is a kinky worm? ”
"Isn't it? I just called her a sister, and I gave her a few beautiful clothes! Xiao Lu said, but her heart was as happy as eating honey. Girls are small
If he hadn't instigated and disagreed with Qu Ping and Zhao Ping'er at the beginning, would there be nothing to do with Zhao Ping'er now? But now that he and Zhao Ping'er are evenly divided, Qu Ping is also wet with rain and dew for both of them, and the result is still very happy.
Qu Ping couldn't cry or laugh: "Thank you!" ”
Xiao Lu stood on tiptoe and kissed Qu Ping's face quickly, and said happily: "Let's go fishing!" ”
Han'er was on the side, and when she heard that she was going fishing, she danced and said, "Okay, good!" ”
Feng Chao escorted Tailan to the door, opened the door for Tailan, and said, "Princess, please!" ”
Tyran said, "Don't be so inhibited, we can still do the same as before." ”
"If there was any offense before, please also ask Princess Haihan." Feng Chao said seriously.
Tailan saw that Feng Chao was serious, and he didn't talk and laugh with himself like before, and he couldn't coax himself to be happy like a big brother, and he couldn't help but feel lost.
I'm afraid there's no going back.
Tyran sighed faintly and said, "I want to rest." ”
Feng Chao stepped aside, like a qualified bodyguard, standing straight and straight.
Tailan closed the door halfway, opened it a little more, and said to Feng Chao: "I couldn't help myself before, don't worry about it." Thank you. With that, he closed the door.
Feng Chao didn't know what Tailan meant, he wanted to don't care about anything. He was also a little stunned in his heart, and he returned to 100% military status.
Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and the prince told him to protect Tailan well, and he should be wholehearted, even at the cost of his own life.
Qu Ping saw Zhao Chengzhang and told him the mystery of Tailan's true identity one by one.
Zhao Chengzhang stared at the two big eyes after hearing this, and he couldn't believe it.
"Is there such a thing?" He said, "It's incredible! This Princess Tyran, it's really not easy! ”
"Who wouldn't say it, it's just too dramatic! So, we have to help her! Qu Ping said.
Zhao Chengzhang said: "However, there is no need to promise her to send troops to be stationed there, let alone bring artillery to help her, right?" ”
"You don't understand this!" Qu Ping dipped his fingers in the tea, drew a strait on the table, and explained, "It seems thankless to send force to help her garrison the strait, but if you open your eyes and take a look, the narrow Srivijaya Strait is the only passage to the east and west oceans, if we master it, it is equivalent to mastering a marine lifeline, trade line, and cash cow!" ”
Zhao Chengzhang thought about it and suddenly realized, yes, why didn't I think of it? On second thought, couldn't Tyran see that this was a double-edged sword?
Zhao Chengzhang asked, "Will Princess Tailan take this layer into account?" ”
Qu Ping said: "This is a problem that she will consider sooner or later. However, now is the most difficult time for her, and even if she thinks about it now, she doesn't dare to go back! ”
Zhao Chengzhang gave Qu Ping a thumbs up, thinking that you are still cunning!
"High, really high!" Zhao Chengzhang praised sincerely.
Qu Pingxin said that where I am high, I am just emulating the Millican Kingdom a thousand years later. But I'm so kinder than he is!
In December of the eighth year of Jianyan, Qu Ping led eight Song ships to arrive at the end of the Three Buddhas in Kyoto. In Sriwijaya in December, the temperature is pleasant, but there is more rain.
The first thing you get to know when you arrive at the port is that it's a primitive tribe.
The harbor ships docked at a naturally formed beach, and a row of stone embankments were piled up on the far shore to prevent the tide from spreading. Dozens of boats of various sizes were docked on the shore, and when the Song boat approached, they were pushed from side to side by the huge waves.
The houses on land are all made of wood, and four wooden feet are erected underneath to prop the houses off the ground to prevent moisture from insects, snakes and animals.
The pedestrians of the three and three were carrying the goods on the shore, and when they saw the huge Song boat approaching, they all grew their mouths and stopped to look in surprise.
Qu Ping stood at the bow of the boat, feeling stunned, this is a primitive society!
Tailan saw the disappointment in Qu Ping's eyes and said, "The prince is a little disappointed, right?" Compared with the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, this is of course the difference between Firefly and Haoyue. However, for hundreds of years, under the rule of the king of Srivijaya, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, devoutly devoted themselves to the Buddha, and lived their own happiness. ”
Qu Ping restrained his expression and said, "That's right, only you know your happiness." How many people and army does Sriwijaya have? ”
"It's hard to count the population, and it's estimated that there must be eight or nine hundred thousand. The number of troops is about 50,000 or 60,000, scattered throughout the country, mainly stationed on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There were about 10,000 soldiers in Kyoto. Tyran said without concealment.
Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, it is really still a primitive society!
Eight ships of the Song Dynasty, excluding sailors, there are 8,000 Jinghai Division soldiers and 320 Shenji Battalion soldiers, and their own well-equipped troops are more than enough to destroy the Three Buddhas.
But it's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to govern the world, so it's better to leave the Three Buddhas to the people of the Three Buddhas to govern by themselves. As long as they worship the Great Song Dynasty and know the tribute.
Seeing Qu Ping pondering, Tailan didn't know what he was thinking, was he worried about the strength of the Three Buddhas?
In order to keep Qu Ping from retreating, Tyran said: "The soldiers of the Srivijaya are only the generals who are qualified to wear armor, and the soldiers all wear cloth clothes, and the weapons are spears and bows and arrows. In front of the army of the Celestial Empire, it is simply unbearable and vulnerable. ”
Qu Ping heard Tailan say this calmly, so he said, "When Princess Tailan becomes the queen, we will help you." ”
Qu Ping didn't say how to help, these long-term plans still have to be done step by step.
