Chapter 406: An Unexpected Surprise
It was a very common thing in ancient times for nobles to give each other beauties, so it would not have any bad impact on their reputation, but giving away their wives and children was another matter.
The reason why Xiao Fengxian was worried all the time before she got the promise of Wen Qihang was because of this reason.
Su Shi, a generation of poets, often gave away his concubines, and even once gave away a pregnant concubine, which was criticized by later generations for thousands of years. As for the non-famous poet Cui Xiang of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of power, he gave his glamorous wife and beautiful daughter to the prince of the current dynasty in exchange for high-ranking officials, and he became the object of contempt for later generations.
This kind of practice of exchanging wives for seats and green hats for official hats is really too inferior. Wen Qihang dares to promise that if he agrees, he will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books, so as to leave a stench for 10,000 years.
Even my own children and grandchildren are afraid that they are unwilling to admit that there is such a virtuous ancestor as themselves.
Because the object of flattery is a foreign race called a barbarian.
Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao was called the emperor of the world because he was a minister to the Liao State, and then praised it for thousands of years.
is such a small viscount as himself, who is not yet called a godson, and has been sung for thousands of years.
I can't afford to wear such a green hat!
"Your Majesty, what you said is true?" Wen Qihang questioned.
"What? Don't you know what you've done yourself? Zhao Lao Er said disdainfully.
Wen Qihang relieved his emotions and smacked his lips: "........ Wechen is just too excited, you must know that Wechen is an eight-generation single lineage, and the Wen family is the only seedling....... Now that I heard that Wen Shi had it, it was inevitable that I would have some gaffes, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me! ”
This is really scary, Xie Lingyun's demon girl is undoubtedly lying in this matter. And lying to the emperor is the crime of deceiving the king, once it is verified, the end is only death.
Wen Qihang didn't believe that Xie Lingyun didn't know the seriousness of this matter, but she still acted like this.
It seems that this is to eat yourself, and you will definitely cover for it! Wen Qihang thought through gritted teeth.
"Hmph~~~" Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly and said: "Now why didn't Wen Qing say that it was for the love between the Liao and Song Dynasties?" ”
"Your Majesty, actually, ........" Wen Qihang hurriedly organized words in his heart and said: "The reason why the Liao Kingdom asked for beauties from our dynasty is probably to test our court's attitude. After all, our dynasty has just been established, and it is still unknown whether it will continue the foreign strategy of the previous dynasties.
So this should be the real purpose of the Liao Kingdom, as for asking for beauties, it is just an excuse for them to tempt. ”
"You still have some insight." Zhao Lao Er pouted.
"Your Majesty has overdone it." Wen Qihang said with a sigh of relief in his heart.
Zhao Lao Er groaned: "No matter the intentions of the Liao people, whether it is a temptation or a beautie, they always have to give them an answer." I don't know Wenqing, what do you think about this? ”
"Wechen's suggestion is to refuse." Smell the sail and say in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Zhao Lao Er frowned and said: "Presumably, Wen Qing must know the strength of the Liao State, and now that it is worth my new dynasty, it is not enough to compete with it in all aspects." What if you refuse rashly, and then provoke a side provocation? ”
Wen Qihang saluted: "Your Majesty is too worried, the Liao people must have just tested the reality of our dynasty this time." If we retreat because of this, with the greedy nature of the barbarians, we will only make greater demands on our court. Therefore, only if we sternly refuse can we prevent a repeat of the mistakes of the Later Jin. ”
“........ Now Wen Qing's statement is diametrically opposed to just now! Zhao Lao Er stared at Wen Qihang with compassion: "But you are reluctant to cut the beauty into love?" ”
Although what Wen Qihang said is not unreasonable, this damn bastard actually uses Emperor Shi Jingjiao to reflect himself, don't want to be the second emperor, this is too infuriating.
Wen Qihang said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has no attachment to beauties, but now she is not only a beauty, but also a mother."
And for a mother, we have to be respectful. Because no matter who we are, we were all conceived by our mothers' hard work for ten months. It is also because of the mother that the bloodline of our clan can last for thousands of years and flourish.
Wechen doesn't want to be poked at the bridge of our nose by our descendants in our old age, even a hundred years later, asking why we didn't protect their mothers well, why let their mothers suffer such a great shame.
Such a micro-minister, even under the Nine Springs, will be difficult to rest in peace.
Therefore, if the Liao people use this as an excuse to launch a border provocation, Weichen will be the first to invite Yingqin to the battlefield, and he will die without regrets! ”
“........”
Zhao Lao Er could still hear that Wen Qihang's words were from the bottom of his heart, at least sincere. Because Wen Qihang had never shown interest in the war before, he was even less interested in leading the army, which can be seen from his resignation from his position in the army several times.
But this time, it is very rare, this is the first time since he became an official that he took the initiative to ask Ying to do something.
Zhao Lao Er was silent for a long time before he showed a smile and said: "Everyone in the world has a mother, and as a man, I have the duty to protect my mother." We often call the earth our mother, and we can fight bloodily for the sake of the territory. We also often call Chuanliu our mother, because it nourishes us without expecting anything in return. We also often call our family and country mother, because it protects us from bullying by other races.
But we are the only ones who have never cherished the mother who nurtured us close by........ To bring shame to my mother is a shame to my boys.
Hearing what Qing said, I was deeply grateful.
If there is an enemy who provokes the border because of this, I will definitely fight it with the people of the world! ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Smell the sail and salute.
Zhao Lao Er sighed and said: "For our descendants, they are mothers, so it is inevitable that their feelings will be much more mellow. As far as we are concerned, they are just wives, and perhaps because of this, we do not cherish them.
Hearing this, it is thought-provoking!
Well, in that case, I am a beauty of a human being. Since this woman has the blood of the Wen family, I decreed that she should eliminate her happy household registration, restore her status as a commoner, and marry into the Wen family as a concubine.
It can be regarded as a reward for Wen Qing to stabilize the price of cattle this time. ”
"Ah........ Your Majesty, don't you think twice........" Wen Qihang said in horror.
"Think twice? Could it be that Wen Qing's words just now were just talking? This girl is the mother of your future child! Zhao Lao Er said unhappily.
"........" saw that Tan Fengyi's face on the side was a little wrong. Wen Qihang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not in a hurry, right........ Besides, isn't Weichen still responsible for marrying Li Tang! So, isn't that right? ”
"It's just for a concubine, as long as the wife is in the air." Zhao Lao Er said lightly.
“........”
It seems that Zhao Lao Er is Wang Ba who eats scales, and he is hard-hearted!
Wen Qihang hurriedly glanced at Tan Fengyi on the side and asked him to say a few words, otherwise, if he really married Xie Lingyun, the demon girl, would he still be able to have a good life in the future!
