Chapter 104: Planning for the Future
"Your people are not mistaken, how can a man like Qi Yong be so manly and refuse to marry the Ten Thousand Beasts City, this thing always feels a little abnormal." The King of the Northern Regions said.
Xiao Zhuoheng saw that he didn't blame him anymore, so he stood up and explained: "It is estimated that this matter is true, so Ten Thousand Beasts City agreed to withdraw from the alliance, otherwise Qi Yong's favorite marriage in Ten Thousand Beasts City is Qi Yong, and Qi Yong is the same age as Erchen, Erchen has three children, the eldest is seven years old this year, and Qi Yong has not married a wife, it is said that he does not even have a concubine, let alone children, because I heard that the people of the Qi family were very worried and searched for girls from all over the world for Qi Yong to choose, but. Even if a person like the second brother is pure-hearted and has little desire, there is a concubine around him, but there is not a single woman around that person, it is conceivable that the man he likes may really be a man. ”
Xiao Zhuoheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't have a princess so far because his mother introduced many girls and children, he was not satisfied, and he felt that he had not found a suitable one, and he would rather not get married, otherwise he would harm the other party's woman, and he did not love beauties like the royal brother, there are already two princesses and several concubines in the house, and of course there are three children.
"Maybe I haven't met the woman I like yet, and I don't want to form an alliance with Ten Thousand Beasts City for the time being......" he guessed.
Xiao Zhuoer sneered: "Do you think that Qi Yong is like you, with his father and your mother always protecting him, Qi Yong has nothing behind him, and he can form an alliance with Ten Thousand Beasts City, so he would have responded to this family business if he was an ordinary person, but he didn't, don't you think it's strange, so he refused this family business must be due to his own physical reasons, so he didn't dare to agree."
As for the fact that he was bumped into by Miss Ran's family and saw him getting involved with a man, it is also true, Ten Thousand Beasts City has notified many people this time, they are very sincere to marry Sifang City, if it weren't for the Ran family seeing Qi Yong's unbearable side, they would not have withdrawn from the marriage and went back directly, after all, this is a very shameless thing. However, it just so happened that my people found out about their whereabouts, so I hurriedly asked someone to propose marriage to them, and my people will be back in the next two days. ”
The words that the king of the Northern Regions was about to scold were swallowed immediately, if this son could marry the daughter of the Ran family and form an alliance with the Ten Thousand Beast City, then their Northern Regions would have one more ally in the future, and the chances of winning the attack on the Xuanlan Kingdom would be greater.
So he said: "You have handled this matter well, but when you deal with major matters in the future, you must tell me in advance, and I will allow you to do it."
Xiao Zhuoer knew that he didn't plan to pursue it, but he warned him that he couldn't make his own decisions, so he said in passing: "My father's lesson is right, and my sons should be more cautious in doing things in the future." As for my national teacher, does my father really want to send him away? It's better to keep him for a few days as a guest in our Northern Regions. Recently, rumors have spread that our northern region is going to send troops to attack Xuanlan, and it just so happened that this national division came over, so we sent people out to spread rumors that Xuanlan's national strength was no longer good, and this time we sent the national division to sue for peace before we fought, hoping to stop the war. ”
The Northern Regions King's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought, "That's right! Stay here for a few days, send someone to watch over them, of course, except for them to leave, we can satisfy them, eat and drink well, and no one else will let us snub them, only if they really come to ask for peace. ”
Such an idea is really good, I can't help but praise my eldest son, it seems that he is still suitable to take his position as the prince in the future.
"If you do these things well this time, this king will be rewarded." With approval in his words.
Xiao Zhuoer immediately responded when he heard this, and he also knew the meaning of his father's words, so he couldn't help glaring at Xiao Zhuoheng. Thinking that he was afraid that he would disturb his plan, he proposed: "Father, the second brother is close to that Gallo, and in the past few days, the son wants to ask his father to punish the second brother in his own mansion, first, to let him reflect on his behavior this time, and not to let him contact them, lest he be soft-hearted, in case he believes that Gallo and wants to release him, then our plan will not be implemented."
Without much thought, the Northern Regions Kingdom said, "Okay! This time, do as you say, and you have full authority to handle this matter. As for Zhuo Heng, you are still young in the end, and you will learn more from your eldest brother in the future. If you have half of your eldest brother's ability, we will be blessed in the Northern Regions. ”
The national teacher on the side secretly thought in his heart that if they were all as "capable" as the eldest prince, it would be strange if the Northern Regions were not chaotic, and when the time came, several princes would fight among themselves, and the Northern Regions would be a mess.
Xiao Zhuoheng objected: "Father, I found out that he was the national teacher of Xuanlan at the time, thinking that the previous rules still let them go, and I didn't want to help them, please ask my father to investigate!"
Xiao Zhuoer snorted coldly: "Okay!" Who doesn't know how you are with him, his entourage you are distressed to rescue them from the prison, and you want to secretly send them away, what else do you dare not do for them. Second brother, we are from the Northern Regions, and they are Xuanlan people, how many people in the Northern Regions died in the hands of their Xuanlan people, you don't avenge them but still help them, what is your conscience, what face do you see the people outside!"
"I didn't-" Xiao Zhuoheng wanted to refute, but the King of the Northern Regions immediately stopped him and said, "Don't help them in the future, and punish you for staying in the mansion for a month and not going out."
Xiao Zhuoheng wanted to say more, but was stopped by the national teacher with his eyes, obviously this time the king of the Northern Regions looked at the great prince's ability to do things, even if he hurt the son in front of him, but the king of the Northern Regions is not only a father, he is also the king of the people of the Northern Regions, so in major matters, he has to think about the Northern Regions and do things that are beneficial to the Northern Regions, so he can only punish this son.
After the matter was settled, the king of the Northern Regions was tired and old after all, so he let them go back.
When he walked out of the palace, Xiao Zhuoer said to Xiao Zhuoheng arrogantly: "You think that you have your mother to protect you and want to do whatever you want, and you don't want to think about how much you have to do, a waste who can't do anything about yourself!" With that, he mounted his fiery horse and galloped away triumphantly.
Xiao Zhuoheng was very angry and wanted to catch up with him, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up with his good horse in a carriage.
When the national teacher saw the two of them like this in the back, he sighed and said: "Second prince, you should no longer indulge in poetry and songs, and those elegant things, you have to face reality!" The eldest prince is now in charge of one-third of the military power, and you can see today's events, at the gate of the city, although they are afraid of the emperor's token, but most of them still listen to his orders, and the emperor in the palace also praises his ability to do things, if it continues, the crown prince's position will definitely fall on him, you have always been at odds with him, and he will take the throne in the future, I am afraid it will be ...... to you."
The latter words were not spoken, but they were reminded.
