He Lian had to open his mouth to comfort his angry brother: "Big brother is angry." San Lang's family affairs, how can you, a father, do nothing. ”

He Qi is the only son-in-law of Pingguo Gong and the future son of Pingguo Gong. His wife is the future Duchess of Yipinguo and the head of the He family.

After the He family got married and had children, they were going to enter the barracks. A few years later, He Qi had to succeed Pingguo Gong and sit at the border. He Qi's wife is in charge of the inner house to raise children. The most important thing is to support the gateway of the Pingguo Mansion.

Therefore, He Qi's family affairs have to be cautious.

Ping Guogong was still angry, and snorted: "I want to take care of it, you don't know your mother's temper!" Now I'm bent on protecting that bastard, and I'm going to set this family business for him! What do you want me to do? ”

That's just as well.

Thinking of his mother's temper, He Zhen also felt a headache.

Lao Pingguo died early, and their brothers were raised by Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai believes in the principle of "if your son doesn't fight, you can't be talented", and she never disciplines her son. The two brothers have always been filial and obedient......

I can't listen to it if I don't want to!

The stern Mrs. Tai, when it comes to her grandson's generation, is particularly arrogant. Especially He Qi, the notoriety of the gentleman has spread to the border pass thousands of miles away.

Ping Guogong was both annoyed and helpless. He Qi's mother died early and grew up next to her grandmother. Mrs. Tai wants to protect her grandson, and no one dares to say a word. And then there is a gentle and kind second aunt who is arrogant, will He Qi become a rampant gentleman?!

The two brothers were relatively silent.

Then, invariably, he sighed.

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Ping Guogong exhaled deeply: "I mentioned it today, but Doctor Cheng refused to nod, no wonder me." I wrote to tell my mother about it, and I didn't care what happened to their grandchildren next. ”

He Yan laughed when he heard this, and when he saw that his brother was depressed, he couldn't bear to persuade him any more.

Pingguo Gong died early with Zhu's family, and over the years, Pingguo Gong only accepted concubines and did not continue the string. No matter how many sons the concubine has born, they are also concubines, and they can't shake He Qi's status in the slightest.

It can be seen that the elder brother has high expectations for his son-in-law He Qi.

He Qi was brilliant and talented when he was young. It's a pity that it is overly arrogant, and it has a tendency to become more and more crooked. Ping Guogong didn't say it in his mouth, but in his heart he hated the disappointment that iron could not become steel.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Ping Guogong asked He Li.

He Yan nodded.

Ping Guogong immediately said: "I ordered someone to bring some breakfast, and it just so happens that I will eat some more." Before, I was thinking about how to open my mouth to propose marriage, but I only ate 60% full. ”

……

A pot of hot porridge, a pot of steamed buns, and several dishes. Swept away by the two brothers.

Ping Guogong ate ten percent full, and the depression and anger in his heart gradually dissipated. Suddenly, he sighed to He Li: "It's good that San Lang is half sensible and competitive." ”

The meaning of the praise of He Yuan is undoubtedly revealed.

Speaking of the eldest son, He Yan had a smile in his eyes, but said in his mouth: "Erlang is a few years older, and Sanlang is still young." After marrying a wife and having children, his temperament will calm down, and he will definitely have a good future. ”

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Ping Guogong's eyes: "I hope so." ”

If He Qi continues to mess around, he will ask for the title of the prince, and he may not be able to convince the public.

He Yuan is young and promising, and he is quite favored by the emperor, and he has the support of the prince. How can you be convinced?

If the two rooms of the He's family don't work together, I'm afraid that there will be two rooms fighting for each other in the future.

This layer of hidden worries is like brothers, and they can't be complained.

Ping Guogong sighed secretly, and turned the topic away: "The Tatars suffered a big defeat last year, and this year they will make a truce and seek peace. The letter of state was presented to the imperial court, and the Tatar prince wanted to marry the princess, but in order to show his sincerity, he only led 200 personal soldiers into the customs. In less than two months, the Tatar prince and his party will be able to arrive in the capital. ”

……

The mother of the Tatar prince is Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia is the younger sister of Emperor Xuanhe, who married the Tatar Khan with her relatives twenty years ago, became a great clan, and gave birth to a son three years later, named Gan Kaslan.

The old Khan's heirs were not prosperous, and the other three were all daughters. The biological motherhood of the other sons is too low. Gathlan was intelligent since childhood, and was quite popular with the old khan. At the age of eight, he was made the crown prince.

It's a pity that less than a year after the crown prince was established, the old khan was seriously ill.

The Tatars are nomadic peoples, living in the grass and respecting the strong. A nine-year-old boy is clearly unable to take on the responsibility of Khan.

The old khan thought about it and decided to pass on the throne of the khan to his brother Buchi. Buchi and the old khan are the brothers of the same mother, and they are also the most loyal right-hand men of the old khan.

In front of the old khan's sickbed, Bu Chi made a poisonous oath that when his nephew became an adult, he would give up the position of khan.

As soon as the old khan died, Buchi became the new khan. According to Tatar customs, it was logical to take over all the clans of the old khan. Princess Roujia endured the humiliation and committed herself to the new khan and raised her son.

Today, the Tatar prince is eighteen years old.

Princess Roujia personally wrote a letter of state, asking the Tatar prince to marry Princess Dachu.

It is not uncommon for princesses to marry and marry far away in the Great Chu Dynasty. The border passes are fought all year round, and I don't know how many soldiers die every year, and a lot of money and food are consumed. In order to recruit Ding and raise an army, the treasury of the Great Chu Dynasty was empty every year.

As a brave and warlike son of heaven, Emperor Xuanhe never gave up the idea of expanding his territory and completely returning the grasslands outside the Guanwai to Great Chu. However, this is clearly not an overnight thing.

Marrying a princess in exchange for a few years of recuperation is a very cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it.

In that year, Princess Roujia married Tatar, and Da Chu and Tatar had a truce for five years. The border has also been uneventful for five years.

On the matter of harmony, Pingguo Gong and He Li are also in favor. But......

"There are only two princesses in Da Chu, I don't know if the emperor is willing to love his daughter and marry his relatives far away." He Lian whispered.

Fifteen-year-old Princess Yuan Qiao of Shouning is the concubine of Queen Pei. The fourteen-year-old Princess Kangning was born by Concubine Gu Xian in the palace. Princess Shouning is smart and beautiful, and she is quite loved by the emperor. Princess Kangning is gentle and obedient, and Concubine Gu Xian is not favored, and the mother and daughter have almost no sense of existence in the palace.

If Emperor Xuanhe has the intention of making peace, who will marry far away?

Is it Princess Shouning? Or is it Princess Corning?

Ping Guogong's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "The matter of harmony is decided by the emperor's sacred heart, and you and I don't need to worry about it." The Tatars are ambitious and have repeatedly invaded the border passes, which is the henchmen of our Great Chu Dynasty. ”

"Even if there is a truce with relatives, the border army must not slack off."

"The total strength of Dachu is about 300,000, and the border army accounts for one-third. Every year, in order to support 100,000 border troops, clothing, food, weapons, war horses, and baggage are all kinds of taxes, which add up to 40% of the tax. Our He family has been a general for generations, guarding the border. If we are here, we will have no worries at the border. If the border pass is lost, you and I can only die for the country. ”

He Li's expression was grim: "What the eldest brother said is true." ”
