Chapter 178: Marriage to the Princess
Princess Wannian returned to Chang'an, this is a great event, because her identity is too amazing, when today's only sister, or the husband of Pei Qing, the most powerful prince today, it is her husband who led the Kwantung group to drive away the Xiliang army and restore the Han family system, which is a great merit, presumably after entering Beijing, her status will definitely improve again, and her status may not be much worse than that of Liu Xuan, the chief princess of the Pavilion Tao during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
So many people want to be able to cling to this famous princess so that they can get enough benefits from her. So when Liu Ning came to Chang'an, almost all the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty came to greet him, including the Son of Heaven himself, and they all put on Luan Driver to greet him in person.
"Sister Huang, my little brother really wants you to death." In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the onlookers, this young son of heaven actually fell into Liu Ning's arms and cried bitterly as if he had seen his parents' children.
Of course, Liu Ning can only try his best to comfort this little emperor, although he is the only emperor in the world, he is also his own brother, his only relative in this world, not to mention, he is only a twelve-year-old boy.
"Sister, it's really boring to be this emperor, I've been scared all day long, since I became this emperor, my little brother hasn't had a good life, otherwise I won't be this emperor, or you can help me do it......"
"Confused, your throne was passed down from your ancestors, how can you say that you don't want it? Are you worthy of your ancestors? Liu Ning listened to the words of the little emperor, in fact, she was still very moved, because she was confident that her ability would definitely be much stronger than her younger brother, at least she had a strong personality, and her younger brother had a cowardly personality, if she became the emperor, she might be able to maintain half of the Han Dynasty, and even if Pei Qingken helped her, she might be able to reorganize the rivers and mountains and reappear unified.
But Liu Ning also knows that the current situation has just settled down, and if he takes the throne, he will definitely cause greater turmoil in the world, besides, being an empress is an unprecedented thing after all, although the Han was open-minded at that time, if she really became the emperor, there would be no defenders to accuse, but after all, this will give the heroes an excuse to create turmoil, which will make the stormy Han even worse.
Therefore, Liu Ning could only try his best to be the little emperor, so that he would not have other thoughts, and be his emperor well, and said to him: "You can be your emperor with peace of mind, my sister is your strong backing, and when you are in danger, my sister can help you." As soon as the little emperor heard this, he immediately felt that his heart was full of confidence, and he said excitedly: "Good sister, you can really help me at the critical moment." ”
Then the little emperor and Liu Ning returned to the palace by the imperial chariot, at the beginning Liu Ning refused, but the little emperor insisted again and again, Liu Ning felt that the little emperor was counting on his help anyway, and taking the imperial chariot was at most an honor for the emperor, and it was not a violation, so he no longer shirked and went directly to the imperial chariot.
After returning to the palace, the little emperor immediately announced that Liu Ning, the princess of Wannian, would be the eldest princess of Pingyang, open the mansion, and ordered the eldest princess of Pingyang to join the captain of Sili, the general of the cavalry Pei Qing, and the hussar general Dong Cheng to record the affairs of Shangshu.
As soon as the little emperor said this, it immediately caused a shock to the government and the opposition, because there were not many eldest princesses in the history of the entire Han Dynasty, and there were six people in the former Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty) period, including Princess Tao Chang and Princess Wei, and during this dynasty, there were only three of Emperor Guangwu's sister Huyang Eldest Princess, younger sister Ningping Eldest Princess and daughter Wuyang Eldest Princess, according to the system of the Han Dynasty, the general princess's dress is comparable to that of the princes, and the eldest princess's dress can already be compared to the vassal king, even so, this is actually expected, However, the little emperor asked the eldest princess to open the mansion and record the affairs of the book, which is really shocking, because this means that the Han Dynasty has a female king with real military and political power, and this king has also become one of the prime ministers of the dynasty, such a major power has never happened in history.
Although the little emperor brought Dong Cheng to record Shang Shushi, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Dong Cheng was just putting on a show, no matter how great his ability was, it was impossible to resist the joint pressure from Pei Qing and the eldest princess of Pingyang at the same time.
Therefore, this appointment almost means that the little emperor has let Pei Qing and Liu Ning handle the political affairs of the DPRK and China.
After the news spread, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers first expressed their position, saying that Pei Qing used power to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and force the Son of Heaven to make such a decision.
Later, news came out that the Son of Heaven would personally hold a wedding for Pei Qing, the captain of Sili and Liu Ning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, half a month later, and ordered all officials from all over the country to celebrate.
This news naturally caused a sensation again, Pei Qing's strength had already aroused people's fear, and once the eldest princess and Pingyang got married, Pei Qing's strength and influence would definitely increase again, with the huge territory of the entire Yuzhou and Sanfu, coupled with such huge political resources, there were more than 100,000 people with armor under his command, and they would definitely become the number one threat to their future development.
"It is absolutely impossible for things to go so smoothly between them." Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu really deserve to be brothers, and even their ideas are surprisingly consistent.
Then Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both came up with the easiest way, which was to assassinate.
Of course, they also knew that assassinating Pei Qing would never be so simple, so they would not do such an uncertain thing, so they all aimed the assassination at Liu Ning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, as long as Liu Ning was assassinated, Pei Qing's political resources would be gone, and at the same time, it might cause the Son of Heaven to be angry with Pei Qing, which would naturally cause a lot of trouble for Pei Qing.
So Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each spent a lot of money to find several assassins, and asked these assassins to assassinate Liu Ning, the eldest princess of Pingyang, at the wedding.
At the same time, Cao Cao, who got the news, also decided to go to Chang'an in person, on the one hand, to express his loyalty to the Son of Heaven, on the other hand, he also had his own purpose, anyway, now the overall situation has been decided, most of Yanzhou has been recovered, only one Taishan County is left, Cao Cao led a heavy army into Taishan County, Lu Bu can not support it for a few days, unless he flees from Mount Tai to Xuzhou.
But did Xuzhou Mu Taoqian dare to take Lu Bu in disregard of his own face? Even if he was given three guts, he wouldn't dare, otherwise he wouldn't mind leading his army to sweep through Xuzhou in order to further expand his strength and complete the encirclement of Yuzhou.
"Pei Qing, I'll go and meet you, and see who the world-famous Pei Qing is, in addition, if my plan can succeed, although you can get the princess, but I can also enjoy an equal political advantage with you, and may even surpass you, the competition between us has just begun." Cao Cao's gloomy eyes swept across the sky and said lightly.
