Chapter 349: Marriage is a National Affair

The old monk shook his head and said, "How can this be called a conspiracy theory? Like I said, do you think that an ordinary person can be a colt? Even if Princess Yinchuan agrees, the Western Xia royal family will not agree! Believe it or not, if there were definitely other people around Princess Yinchuan just now who checked for her, even if she was tempted by an ordinary person, she would stop her from coming out, but your identity made the family feel satisfied, so there was no obstruction. ”

"Then, since you are so intervening, then the world is still engaged in Mao's list to recruit relatives? Just go directly to the homes of the eligible princes and nobles to propose marriage! Tang Ning said angrily.

The old monk shook his head again and said, "How can things be as simple as you think!" Maybe this so-called world list to recruit relatives is that the Western Xia royal family is looking for allies, but it is inconvenient to make this matter public, so it is just a cover for Princess Yinchuan! Take you and Prince Zongzan as an example, if the prince and the king of Tubo did not have the intention of forming an alliance with the Western Xia, would they send you over? And Da Liao, who is the enemy of Western Xia, even if the prince likes Princess Yinchuan no matter how much he likes it, he will not come to apply, that's the reason! ”

"Eh, if according to what you said, even if Xuzhu really comes, the Western Xia royal family will definitely not agree?" Tang Ning asked tentatively.

"I will never agree, although that Xuzhu claims to be the palace master of the Vulture Palace, commanding the thirty-six islands and seventy-two caves, but after all, he is only a martial artist, and he will not be of any help to the Western Xia royal family politically and militarily, so they will never agree to such a marriage. The only possible result is that Li Qinglu eloped with him, which has to be based on the premise that Li Qinglu has a deep affection for him! The old monk asserted.

"Eh, who is Li Qinglu?" Tang Ning suddenly interjected and asked.

The old monk replied angrily: "Li Qinglu is the name of Princess Yinchuan, after all, if she elopes, then she will no longer be the Princess of Yinchuan in Western Xia, she can only use her real name, do you think a girl who has been pampered since childhood and enjoyed the prosperity of the royal family will elope with a monk?" ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, according to the original text, this thing can really be done, so if he says so, it seems that he should go and find Xuzhu and let him talk to Princess Yinchuan, that is, Aunt Meng, but the problem is that he doesn't know Xuzhu, but he knows his cheap big brother Duan Yu, why don't you ask him to find it?

So he begged the old monk, "Master, can I ask you something?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, please speak!" The old monk replied respectfully.

"Eh, can you send someone to help me deliver a letter to Brother Duan Yu?"

Hearing that it was this request, the old monk suddenly had a bad premonition, so he frowned and asked, "What are you looking for Duan Yu for?" ”

"Leave that alone, you just have to send him the letter anyway." Tang Ning avoided answering.

"That's not good, if you don't tell the old monk, the old monk will never help!" The old monk resolutely refused.

"Hey, do you think of me as a prince?" Tang Ning said angrily.

The old monk replied, "If you do what a prince should do, then the old monk will naturally treat you as a prince; And if you're not doing what a prince should do, then it's no wonder the old monk doesn't treat you as a prince! ”

"You!" Tang Ning was speechless with anger, and turned around to ignore him.

And the old monk thought proudly in his heart, just your little trick, can't you still be an old monk to see it? Didn't you just want to use Duan Yu to contact Xuzhu, and then let him come to Xixia to recognize Princess Yinchuan? How could an old monk let such a thing happen!

And just when Tang Ning and the old monk were angry, in the boudoir of Princess Yinchuan, a richly dressed middle-aged woman was asking her: "Qinglu, looking at your sad and sullen appearance, could it be that Prince Dali bullied you?" ”

"That's not true, but it's strange that he doesn't admit that he is Menglang!" Princess Yinchuan replied with a frown.

"What?! He doesn't admit it? Why didn't he admit it? The world knows so well about the ice cellar that night, except for you, he should be the only one, even I only know these details today! The lady in gorgeous clothes asked in surprise.

"To be honest, I don't understand this, but he always insists that Menglang has someone else, and he only knows the details of this matter by chance, but who can tell others about such a private matter?" Princess Yinchuan replied depressedly.

"Then did he say who the real Menglang is?" The lady in gorgeous clothes asked.

Princess Yinchuan nodded and replied, "He said this, but I think the person he said is ridiculous!" He actually said that it was the new Vulture Palace Master Xuzhu! ”

"What?! Void bamboo? Heβ€”isn't he a monk? The lady in gorgeous clothes couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, I didn't understand it when I heard it, but there is one detail he said that is right, that is, Menglang did not have hair when he was in the ice cellar, which is comparable to that Xuzhu, but Prince Dali's hair is obviously just grown recently, so I think the real Menglang should still be him!" Princess Yinchuan analyzed.

The lady in Huayi pondered for a moment, and then pondered and said: "Whether it is him or not, it can only be him now, because our concubine in Western Xia must not be a simple person in the rivers and lakes, let alone a monk, otherwise wouldn't that make the world laugh?"

And if you marry the prince of Dali, it will also be very beneficial to my Western Xia, and now your younger brother is still young, if there is no strong reinforcement outside, how can you suppress the ministers internally and resist the Liao Song Dynasty externally? ”

Hearing the words of the noblewoman in gorgeous clothes, Princess Yinchuan begged with a bitter expression: "Queen Mother, this is a child's private matter, don't get involved with these national affairs, okay?" ”

The queen mother retorted: "Nonsense! Qinglu Since you are the princess of Xixia, then your affairs have no private affairs, and your marriage is a national event, so you can't make your own decisions! ”

PS: I checked it, it turns out that Duan Yu also has a prototype, he is the sixteenth emperor of Dali Duan Zhengyan, also known as Duan Heyu, it is estimated that Duan Yu's name comes from this, and his father is called Wen'an Emperor Duan Zhengchun, who reigned for 39 years, is the longest-lived emperor in the history of Dali, and has witnessed the whole process from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty!

PS2: Here Yinchuan princess Li Qinglu's mother is the Empress Dowager Liang who leaned towards the government and the opposition at that time, because Li Qianshun was young at the time, so the government has always been controlled by her, until Liao Taizong Yelu Hongji sent envoys to poison her, Li Qianshun was able to pro-government.

PS3: Continue to ask for collections and recommendation votes for the new book "Re-India as the God of Medicine", there are dozens of collections to reach three hundred, can you help me get the first achievement?
