Chapter 293: The Number of Princesses
Of course, Lu Jinping would not want to believe that the marriage between himself and Princess Siyun would make the Tang Dynasty and the Turks never go to war. Even now, the Turks sent troops to attack the rebel tribes in the west, and the rear was empty, and the Tang Dynasty was afraid that he would not be able to take advantage of the weakness to attack his lair.
Because the Tang Dynasty is also in turmoil now, and has just quelled the rebellion of Empress Wei, the current emperor is only a short spring and autumn, and there will be a rebellion of Princess Taiping later. Only after Li Longji became emperor and consolidated his power could he concentrate on dealing with the Turks.
Therefore, Lu Jinping needs to use this marriage to achieve temporary peace with the Turks to help overcome the difficulties of the past few years. Now, the Turkic army is marching westward and has no time to look south, which can make Lu Jinping breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, if they can make peace, it will make the Turks more comfortable to deal with the tribes in the west, and will not draw troops south to deal with the Tang Dynasty.
So Lu Jinping said: "It's hard to say, people are changing, but I believe that the heroes of the Turkic Khan generation should be people who are true to their word, since I have become his son-in-law, he shouldn't use swords against the Tang Dynasty, right?" And since he promised to make peace between the two sides, that is to say, he doesn't want to meet with the Tang Dynasty, but no matter what, thank you for the kind reminder from Mrs. I also hope that we can live in peace, after all, it is not good for anyone to raise a sword. ”
Hearing Lu Jinping's words, Yelu Jue walked back and looked at him with a raised face, full of concern: "Sir, it seems that you don't know much about the Turks, let me tell you the truth, the Turks rely on swords and soldiers to maintain state affairs, because the nomads of the steppe do not have fields like you in the Tang Dynasty." If the wind and rain are good. It's okay, as long as there are natural and man-made disasters, a large number of cattle and sheep will die. The people will starve to death in the thousands, and what will he feed his people if he does not fight or plunder? Therefore, no matter what, it is only a matter of time before he uses troops against Datang. ”
Lu Jinping really didn't know about the Turks, but after hearing Yelujue say this, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
The snow in Lingzhou is up to the knees, and further north. He couldn't imagine how deep the snow would be. Under the snowstorm, snow covered a large area of grassland, and cattle and sheep had no food but starved to death. And the nomadic people who rely on cattle and sheep have lost their food source for their survival, and how can they survive except to fight and plunder the materials and food of other tribes?
It is no wonder that the nomads on the steppe have been fighting everywhere for thousands of years, not because they are good at war and fierce by nature. It's for the most basic survival. They have to survive.
Seeing Lu Jinping's stunned appearance, Yelu Jue knew that his words had an effect, and said with a smile: "What should you do in the face of a group of jackals?" Are you waiting for him to eat you, or are you fighting back? Lord Wang, you know this truth better than me. Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the inn. ”
After that, Yelu Jue's beautiful big eyes glanced at Lu Jinping deeply, turned around and walked out. After a few entourages bowed to Lu Jinping, they followed behind and went out.
Lu Jinping looked at their distant backs. Stunned. I encountered two strange things in a row today, one was that Princess Siyun ignored him. Then I met the young woman of Khitan, the wife of the Khan, if these two things can be done, then Datang can get peace, but judging from Yelujue's words just now, this matter is not so simple.
The next morning, Lu Jinping came to Princess Siyun's small courtyard in the back garden again. This time, the two porters told Lu Jinping that Princess Siyun got up at dawn and was copying Buddhist scriptures, so Lu Jinping happily walked in and came to the main hall, where there were also female guards guarding, and when she saw Lu Jinping, she quickly bowed down and saluted.
Lu Jinping lifted the curtain and walked in, and saw Princess Siyun sitting in front of the window in white and copying scriptures, and when she heard his footsteps come in, she didn't even move her eyelids, as if the two had never had an intimate act that night.
Lu Jinping coughed, took two steps forward and said, "Princess Siyun, are you not feeling well?" ”
Princess Siyun didn't seem to hear it, and still copied the scriptures one by one.
Lu Jinping frowned and said, "If I did something wrong, can you tell me directly?" The girl's cold look makes me feel very uncomfortable, what can we say openly and honestly? ”
Princess Siyun put the brush on Beacon Mountain, turned to stare at Lu Jinping, and said slowly after a while: "Let me ask you, after you marry me as a princess, how many side princesses are you going to marry?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Jinping immediately understood what was going on. It must have been Xiaoxiao's affectionate attitude towards herself that night, and her concern for Xiaoxiao, which made Princess Siyun jealous.
Now that this topic has been touched, it must be made clear. Because, you can't tell lies in order to marry her, otherwise you will only be afraid that you will not be at peace in the future, Lu Jinping thought about it and thought in his heart which of the women around him must marry.
First of all, of course, Yunzi, who has already sent someone to ask for a kiss, and then Xiaoxiao, the two already have a skin-to-skin relationship, these two are necessary, and Lu Niang is not easy to say, because Lu Niang's cultivation of Tongzi Gong is impossible to have sex with herself. Princess Fang was afraid that she was not interested in this.
Gazing still has some good feelings for herself, but she has never been indifferent to everything, so he is not sure about it at all, so he is temporarily excluded.
After thinking about it in his heart, Lu Jinping said: "I should take three or four, two of which I will marry soon after we get married." To be honest, I was already on good terms with them before I talked to you, and I can't lie to you. ”
Princess Siyun smiled and said, "Is there the woman with high martial arts skills in the middle?" ”
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "She is not only my confidante, but also my life-saving benefactor, and she has saved me several times." ”
Princess Siyun said, "You just said three to four, which means that you will marry four side princesses at most, right?" ”
"It should be this number, there is no way, almost all the princes of the Tang Dynasty have three wives and four concubines."
Princess Siyun said: "Not only you have the Tang Dynasty, but we also have the Turks, what I want to say is that it doesn't matter how many wives and concubines you marry, the important thing is that I hope that after we get married, since I am the princess, you don't leave me aside, just go to accompany them, can you do this?" ”
Lu Jinping said: "Of course, you are my wife, of course I will not put you aside." What's more, your country is beautiful and fragrant, even if I want to put it, I can't bear it. ”
Princess Siyun didn't smile, and still said lightly: "Your face will grow old after all, when I am old, will you still say this?" ”
"Of course, even if you are old in the future, but even if you are old, you will be just as graceful. Take 10,000 steps back and say, you are really old, and I was actually old at that time, two old people together, I'm afraid it's more to snuggle up to each other. This is what the saying goes: young couples and old companions. So, even if that day comes, I'll still be with you, and of course, they'll be the same. ”
Princess Siyun's face, which had been tense, finally had some smiles, she stood up, walked to Lu Jinping's side, looked up at it, and said word by word: "I have taken what you just said to heart, if one day you treat me as a vase and ignore it, I will use this to ask you." ”
"No problem, what I've said is definitely counting."
"One more thing. As you just said, there are still three or four princesses on your side, and I don't want this number to increase, I think with five of us women with you, you should be satisfied, right? I've seen people marry one after another. The older you get, the younger you marry, and it's really disgusting to watch. I don't want my husband to be like that. ”
The three or four that Lu Jinping said earlier have already been rich, but in fact, he has decided to marry only two, and the remaining two are maneuvering, so he can really marry four side princesses plus a princess Siyun who is beautiful and fragrant, and the five women are already very satisfied. He is not a big carrot, seeing one loves the other. So he nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, marry at most four side princesses, and I won't marry again." ”
Princess Siyun looked at him, as if to see the credibility of what he said from his face.
When she didn't find a smile or a casual look on Lu Jinping's face, she smiled and said, "When are we leaving?" ”
"We need to wait for our emperor's approval, and of course your father's promise to marry, and then we can set off, but I don't think it will take too long."
Princess Siyun said, "In that case, then you can come and play chess with me these days, okay?" I've been thinking about that day's chess for the past two days, your chess skills are too weird, but it's really effective, I want to learn this method, can you teach me? ”
Lu Jinping deliberately shook his head and said: "That's not good, that's my housekeeping skill, if you learn it, then I won't be able to get down to you, wouldn't that teach the apprentice to starve the master to death?" ”
When Princess Siyun saw him smiling and saying this, she knew that he was joking, gave him a blank look, and said, "Aren't you just playing chess?" Could it be that you can't afford to lose? You lost to me and not to others, I am your future wife. ”
The last sentence made Lu Jinping feel excited, this peerless beauty who is like a flower and a jade flower is like a flower, and the joy in her heart is still difficult to suppress. smiled and said, "Okay, you have said so, then I will teach you." However, what I tell you is very different from the way you usually play Go, and whether you can learn it or not depends a lot on how much you trust my method. ”
"Of course I believe in the power of your method, otherwise, I wouldn't be cheeky enough to let you teach, don't talk nonsense, let's start."
Lu Jinping smiled narrowly and said, "Then why don't we go to the lake outside to play Go?" (To be continued.) )
