Chapter 432: The First Beauty
Renduo Gil is still said to be the niece and granddaughter of Renduo Baozhong, a fairy-like figure.
The Renduo family was originally the family of the Western Xia second only to Wei Ming and the Liang family, and after the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was killed, Li Qian eliminated most of the Liang family's power by the way, and it had already declined. The Renduo family became the second largest family in Western Xia after the royal family.
Later, Renduo was loyal to the Song Dynasty and was dismissed from his official position, but the Renduo family relied on the border of the Song State and made friends with many tribes, and Li Qianshun was also afraid of persecuting the Renduo family, and did not dare to persecute the Renduo family too much. It's just that he supported the group that competed with Renduo Baozhong for the position of patriarch at the beginning, and Renduo Gil was the one who came out.
Since the Renduo family could not be eradicated, it needed to be wooed, so Li Qianshun made a marriage contract for his son and Renduojir.
Li Qianshun is not afraid of the Renduo family learning from the Liang family's internal and external collusion in politics, the Empress Dowager Liang interfered in politics because the talents of the famous family withered, and after Li Qianshun opened Sinology, he really cultivated and promoted a group of clan children. Moreover, in recent years, the Song Dynasty has repeatedly used troops against the Renduo family's sphere of influence, and the Renduo family has also suffered a great loss of vitality and cannot threaten the royal family at all.
Li Renai also met Renduo Gil once, and he was immediately shocked, but both parties were young, so they never married. Although the two sides did not get along and could not talk about feelings, Li Renai still regarded this first beauty as his own forbidden body. Now that he heard that Renduo Baozhong asked him to sacrifice Renduo Jir, he couldn't help but be furious.
Renduo Baozhong has been fighting for many years, how can he be frightened by Li Renai, shook his head and smiled: "You can't protect yourself now, do you still expect the Renduo family to marry Jill to you?" It's impossible for her to be with you, and if you bring it up, maybe the prince can remember you a little good. Otherwise, when my brother sacrifices her to the prince, you will not be left behind. ”
Now the Renduo family is in power, but Ren Duohan's son Ren Duohai, Ren Duohan is a generation older than Ren Duo Baozhong, and he is also the general of Western Xia and the patriarch of the Renduo family. However, the person who inherited the position of the patriarch of the Rindo family was not his son, but Rindo Baozhong. As a result, many people felt that Rinda was at odds with Rindohan's son. After Li Qianshun dismissed Rinduo Baozhong's official position, he also appointed Rinduohan's son.
In fact, Renduo Baozhong inherited the position of patriarch at the beginning, but Renduohan supported it, because Renduo Baozhong had more ability to lead troops, and the Renduo family was on the border between the two countries, and only by choosing a good war patriarch could the number of people of the tribe die in battle. Ren Duohan's son and Ren Duo Baozhong grew up together, although they are not brothers, but their feelings are also very deep, although there are some disagreements because of the position of the patriarch, but they are not enemies. Therefore, Renduo Baozhong thought of giving a flower of their family to the crown prince, so as to exchange more benefits for the Renduo family.
Renduo Baozhong wants Li Renai to sacrifice Renduo Jir. It's all because of the customs of the party members.
Many young men and women of the party, after they were happy, ran to the top of the hill together, lay down side by side, and strangled themselves with ropes. And the family does not treat this as a funeral, but thinks that the two have been loved. The family will gather relatives and friends, wrap the two of them in colored ribbons, and wrap them in felt outside. Kill the cow and sacrifice, then choose the high mountains and mountains. A high wooden fence was erected, the corpse was placed on it, and a group of people shouted "Yu Fei ascended to heaven". Friends and family beat drums and drink under the wooden fence to celebrate the day before parting.
In Rinda Hozhong's view, this custom is undoubtedly stupid. Because of the martyrdom of young men and women, it affected the reproduction of the tribe. But this custom is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he cannot change it.
Renduo Baozhong was also afraid that Renduo Gil would be martyred for Li Renai, so he proposed that Li Renai be dedicated to the crown prince. Once Lee Ren-ae turned his back on Ren Dorgil. Rindogir would not have been martyred.
Yelu Nanxian also saw that Renduo was worried, but she was more concerned about her son's life, so she said on the side: "What General Renduo said is true. We are now unable to protect ourselves, and we can still let Renduo Gil suffer with us. Since General Renduo said this, that is, the previous marriage contract is still valid, Renduo Gil is considered a member of our famous family, and your dedication to the crown prince is also considered a merit. ”
Li Renai heard that he wanted him to personally give his wife who had not passed through the door to Prince Daliang, and his breathing couldn't help but become short, and his nostrils whirred like bellows.
Yelu Nanxian didn't want to say anything more, and Renduo Baozhong even picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
The three of them were silent until Chao Yong announced the end of the banquet, and the people in the main hall got up one after another to send off the prince.
Yelu Nanxian and Renduo Baozhong saw that Li Renai was silent, and they were secretly anxious in their hearts.
Seeing that Chao Yong and the other Liang generals were about to walk out of the hall, Li Renai gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, Renai has something to tell." ”
Renduo Baozhong and Yelu Nanxian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Li Renai speak.
Chao Yong turned his head to look at Li Renai and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Li Renai looked at the party members in the hall, and finally felt panicked, and bent down and said, "Renai wants to talk to the prince alone." ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, then you can come with me." ”
A group of party members watched Li Renai follow the prince out, and they all looked at Renduo with suspicion.
Just now, Renduo Baozhong and Li Renai's mother and son whispered, and everyone saw it. They also feel that Renduo is too loyal and don't know how to avoid suspicion, I am afraid that they have been remembered by the prince, and they will have to suffer in the future. Now it seems that Renduo Baozhong persuaded Li Renai to contribute to the prince, and he has already made a contribution.
The generals of the Great Liang didn't know what Li Renai was going to say, and after Chao Yong left the palace, they each said goodbye and left, although Renli retreated, but the defense of the city was not relaxed.
Chao Yong's own soldiers also retreated to ten steps away, Li Renai saw that there was no one else left and right, and then said: "There is a woman in the house of benevolence, who is the first beauty in my Xia country, and Renai is willing to dedicate herself to the prince and serve the prince." ”
Chao Yong looked at fourteen-year-old Li Renai and said with a smile: "How old is she?" ”
Li Renai said: "One year younger than Renai, thirteen years old this year. ”
Chao Yong couldn't help but laugh and said, "The thirteen-year-old first beauty, haha." Keep it for you, I'm not interested. ”
Li Renai saw Chao Yong turn around and want to leave, and hurriedly said: "Although Ren Duo Gil is young, she is like a fairy born since childhood, so she is known as the first beauty. ”
Chao Yong turned his head and said, "People from the Renduo family? ”
Li Renai nodded and said, "The granddaughter of the current patriarch of the Renduo family. ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Renduo Baozhong just told you about this?" ”
Although Li Renai didn't want to admit it, he was also afraid that Chao Yong would misunderstand, so he had to endure his shame and said, "Yes." ”
"Can't you do anything but women?"
Li Renai naturally didn't want to admit this, and said with a red face: "If the prince allows, Renai can give orders to the people of the military divisions and let them submit to the Great Liang." ”
"Okay, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will have to be knighted to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." (To be continued......)
