Chapter 646: A Troublesome Marriage

According to the plan set, the tunnel was dug at the beginning of the negotiation, and all the important people must be at the negotiation site, so that the Chinese army tent of the king of Altan would be empty, and the guards outside would not dare to enter his Chinese army tent casually in the absence of the king of Alta, which was a good time to steal the top secret documents.

What is uncertain now is that the negotiation process will take a few days, and besides, the longer it is to drag on, the better, but King Alta and Zhao Quan will definitely not let him get his wish, maybe the negotiations will collapse in two or three days. In addition, I felt that I had to steal the documents within three days, and it was likely that problems would arise if it took longer.

The reason why he let Zuo Ling and the others go first and go shopping in Bansheng City is also the reason.

Before the negotiation broke down, the Altan king would certainly maintain due diplomatic etiquette towards the Han Chinese, but once the negotiations broke down, it would be a different matter, and diplomacy meant that the other side was an enemy, and they could all be taken hostage by the Altan king.

The imperial court also considered this possibility, so it asked the king of Altan to send an equally important person to the interior as a hostage, and the result was that Hannaji was robbed of this messenger.

It is said that as long as Hannaji is still in the mainland, there is no risk to them, but besides, he does not want to pin his fate on others, and he has never expected to exchange hostages.

The Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Yanfeng, and the current Holy Maiden are all in the capital, and several powerful families in the capital are also making small moves in the back, maybe something will happen one day, and at that time, the only one who can rely on is himself.

If he was alone, he wouldn't care at all, but he brought out 10,000 people, as well as those court officials, and even Zhang Whale, a heavyweight eunuch, these people must not have an accident.

According to the original plan, after the negotiation, whether it works out or not, they will return to Datong Pass, where they will wait for Hannaji, and then exchange with Hannaji, one out of the customs and the other in the customs, so that both sides will not worry that their people will be detained by the other party, but now the biggest variable is to take Hannaji there.

It's not that Hannaji is unreliable, but the Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Yanfeng, and several powerful families in the capital are unreliable, and they are very likely to play some conspiracies and tricks, so that these people are trapped outside the fortress and stranded on the grassland, so as to force the imperial court to negotiate peace with the king of Alta on humiliating terms.

Besides, when you come out, breathe in the scented air of the grassland and open your mind.

"I told you what you're going to do with those two old fellows, or I'll slaughter them." Jiuniang said.

She couldn't see it and was bullied, and she was forced to marry a princess, what kind of thing is this.

"Let's talk about this matter later, you can't use force, how can you say that people also have good intentions." Besides, he didn't know what to do.

Now the silver owed to him by the two clans is covered with jewelry, calligraphy, paintings and ancient books, and the other two dowries sent are even more valuable, and it can be seen that the two clans are not fooling him, but really want to marry their daughters to him, as for political considerations, it goes without saying that of course there is.

"I think you're lustful again, didn't you get tempted when you heard that the little girl from the Nine Princesses was beautiful? You can be careful, he is only thirteen years old, younger than Xue'er, and you can do it? Jiuniang said.

"When did I say yes? But this is not something that can be rejected by refusal, you have to pay attention to the way you do things. Besides, he hurriedly argued.

"Hmph, I think you just have bad intentions and want to marry a few princesses of different races to taste the game." After Jiuniang finished speaking, she ran away with a snort.

Murong Yanran smiled and said, "She's just childish, don't pay attention to her." But according to my thoughts, it is not necessarily a bad thing to really marry two princesses, and the prince can have a base outside the Saiwai, and many things will be easier to do in the future. ”

Moreover, he sighed first, and then nodded, indicating that he understood what Murong Yanran meant.

Murong Yanran was right, this was exactly what he thought in his heart, when he was forced to be the commander of this brocade guard, wasn't there nowhere to hide, if he had a place outside the fortress where he could roam freely, maybe he would have fled here just like his father back then.

He can't go overseas, it is the territory of the king's organization, and if he goes, he will be used as a puppet, so it is better to go to the grassland to be the son-in-law of the two powerful clans.

He has no resistance to marrying two princesses, and the benefits are obvious, but the biggest obstacle to this matter is that doing so is tantamount to treason, a charge he would rather die than bear.

After marrying two princesses, he had his own fiefdom, that is, he had an activity base, and then he could also have his own sphere of influence, and with the influence of the Warat and Uliangha clans outside the Sai, no one would dare to bully him.

After Hannaji took power, the Tatars were also his backup, and he could live more smoothly on the steppe, which can be said to be windy and rainy, which is much more comfortable than being an official in the imperial court.

But these are just imaginations, not only is it unnecessary but also unworkable, he was not defeated, nor did he surrender to the alien race, so he didn't want to be Li Ling's second.

Just thinking about it, he saw that the Seventh Princess, Sa Thorn, and Yu Du had come to him, and the Jade Princess also came with a blush on her face and a large group of maids.

Moreover, he invited them to sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, and then said with a smile: "Are you here to force the marriage on behalf of the two khans?" ”

The seventh princess smiled: "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about, of course you have to be willing to marry me, how can you talk about forced words." ”

Yu Du smiled: "Big brother, don't you see my ninth sister, among our brothers and sisters, the best person is the seventh sister, but the most beautiful is my ninth sister, you promise not to suffer a loss in this marriage." In the future, half of my territory can be carved out for you, and you are both my brother-in-law and my eldest brother, and this will never change. ”

The jade princess was shy, her eyes were full of tears, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, do you hate Yu'er so much?" ”

Oh my God, how can this be done? Besides, now one head is not two big, but ten.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I agree, it doesn't count, don't you know that this matter must be agreed by the emperor and the court?" If I agree in private, it will be tantamount to treason. I can't afford this accusation on anyone's shoulders. ”

Yu Du grinned and said: "Rebellion is rebellion, the sea and the sky outside the plug, isn't there a place for the eldest brother?" Although there is no beautiful scenery in the mainland, there is no such joy as drinking and meating every day. ”

"Nonsense, I have a large family in Nanjing and Beijing, if I am convicted of treason, they will all fall to the ground." Moreover, he poked Yu Du's brain.

"That's right." Yu Du looked embarrassed.

"Oh, yes, how did we forget about it." The seventh princess also showed a sad look on her face.

Several people have come to their senses, and besides, they are not the fifth single diamond king, but a person with a family, the wife already has five, and the children have three, how can it be said that it doesn't matter what, and he is recruiting relatives and marrying wives outside the Saiwai for fun. If it is such a person, is it still worth the two clans to recruit a son-in-law?

"My father Khan has sent a letter of state to your emperor and proposed to you." Sa said with a smile.

"What? Did King Sully send a letter to the Emperor? "And I was surprised.

"Yes, my father Khan said in his letter that as long as the emperor approves this marriage, our Uliangha will never be an enemy of the court."

"My father Khan did the same." The Jade Princess came to her spirit again, and her eyes shone again.

Besides, I sighed in my heart, I didn't expect these two khans to be so resolute, if they promised not to be enemies of the court in the future, the emperor would really approve these two marriages, and then sell him completely.

The biggest threat to the imperial court outside the Saiwai is the power of the three tribes of Tatars, Warats and Uliangha, if two of them reconcile with the imperial court through marriage, the burden on the imperial court will be reduced, and a single Tatar will naturally be much easier to deal with.

"What's the matter, big brother, my father sincerely wants to recruit you as a son-in-law this time, don't blame him for running a horse, that's what he's used to, he's an old rascal, you always say that I have a lot of problems, compared with my father, I'm still a good boy." Yu Du said with a smile.

The seventh princess stretched out her hand and punched him: "How can you speak." ”

"I said what happened to him as an old rascal, he really is, he admits it, and all the bad things I have learned from him." Yu was not convinced.

Everyone laughed, it seems that Yu Du himself knows that he is not a good person, but if he compares to King Sally the Red Beard, Yu Du can be regarded as a very clean and promising young man.

Besides, he was upset for a while, but he didn't expect that this matter had been stabbed to the court, I don't know what the emperor, Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong would think of them, whether they would misunderstand him and collude with various tribes outside the Saiwai to deceive the court, in that case, it would be equivalent to cutting off his retreat.

However, this does reflect the determination of the two clans, and they actually paid a lot of money in exchange for the emperor's approval of the marriage on the condition that they would never be enemies of the imperial court.

Of course, while the two ethnic groups proposed harmony, they must also put forward corresponding conditions, such as the imperial court must meet the material needs of the two ethnic groups, iron tools are the main ones, and then salt, tea, silk, cloth, grain and other scarce items. It is difficult to say whether the imperial court will believe the words of these two clans, and whether it will sell it.

"What's so good about me, that you two tribes are so desperate to recruit me as a son-in-law?" Besides, he was at a loss and helpless.

He didn't feel that he had any ability, and he didn't know what his strengths were, and it was worth the effort and price of these two tribes. Although he is now the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty, this is a right granted by the imperial court and can be withdrawn at any time.

In addition, he is a great talent in Jiangnan and a famous calligrapher and painter, but outside the Saiwai, these two points are not as popular as a blacksmith, and even less valuable than a herdsman who is good at herding.

"Big brother, let me tell you, our two clans are doing this, the first is because your father, the Bodhisattva, who doesn't want to recruit his son as a son-in-law, get into the immortal spirit of the Bodhisattva." Yu Du laughed.

"Because of my father?" Besides, I was stunned.

"Of course, even now, the Bodhisattva is still a Buddha in all ethnic groups of our grassland, and the brilliance of his old man shines on the world like the Buddha and Bodhisattva." The seventh princess laughed.
