Chapter 323: Sincerity
After teaching Mrs. Yueguo a lesson, Ling Han was not happy, he used King Wu as a disguise, but King Wu didn't have anything to do, Helian Loufang was stinking and shameless and planned to eat tender grass, which made Ling Han very angry, although Tian Lingyan didn't listen to Princess Han's persuasion, listened to the mercy of Mrs. Yueguo, and eyed Princess Yan's position, but in the end it was also his niece, the little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and even Lou Fang was running for three, and he was embarrassed to say that he was a golden bachelor, and it was enough to be a father for the little girl.
But putting aside personal feelings, from the overall situation, this marriage is beneficial to both Wu and Chu, from the perspective of Western Chu, there is a more suitable reason to meddle in the affairs of Wu Di, and from the perspective of Wu Di, obtaining the strong alliance of Western Chu will be more successful in driving Qin out of Wu Di.
So although Ling Han was very angry, he still had to think carefully about this marriage. It was at this time that Princess Han's letter was finally delivered to Ling Han.
She didn't say anything about Wu Chu's alliance in the letter, just euphemistically hoped that Ling Han could take care of Tian Lingyan's wishes when making a decision, and then said that Tian Lingyan was young and ignorant, and it was inevitable that she would not be serious in what she said and did, if Ling Han wanted to use her to marry, she hoped to send her back to Yuedi first, so that Princess Han could teach her by word and deed for two years, so as not to have another Zhao Agarwood.
As a typical example of the failure of the alliance, Zhao Agarwood is now not a person inside and outside, no one in Qin treats her, and Xichu obviously has no good impression of her, the King of Jin is now tied to her, and she can't break free, the two of them have already passed the period of honey and oil, and they are already tired of each other but have to rely on each other, Zhao Agarwood wants to rely on the King of Jin to gain a foothold in Western Chu, and the King of Jin still remembers her fiefdom and net worth.
Princess Han dragged Zhao Agarwood out as an example, in fact, she told Ling Han that Tian Lingyan was not suitable to act as a bond of alliance, and let her marry into Wu Di, the probability of bad things was much higher than that of success.
Ling Han also felt that Princess Han's words were very reasonable, but the courtiers all supported an alliance with Wu Di, and the marriage was imperative, and the choice of this alliance was very important, Tian Lingyan couldn't do it, who could?
The most suitable candidate is the younger sister of King Yan, the county lord of Huiming, the authentic royal family surnamed Mi, who is much more justifiable than Tian Lingyan, but the problem is that this girl is also young, a little younger than Tian Lingyan, and King Yan is even more strongly opposed. After all, this is the default candidate for the prince of Western Chu, even if it is Ling Han, he must face up to King Yan's opinion.
Or choose a lady from the important ministers of the court and make her a princess, as a link between Wu and Chu to form an alliance? Although this is a method, it seems to be very insincere. If Helian Loufang is just Ling Han's brother and friend, there is no problem, but now Helian Loufang is the general of Jianyong who is "sealed" by King Wu, and Wu Di is not Helian Loufang alone, there is not enough sincerity, Helian Loufang is willing to admit it, and others have to be willing to admit it.
Just when this matter was in a predicament, Gu Fengxun proposed a candidate for Ling Han: Princess Han.
Ling Han: "......"
He wanted to subconsciously say that it was inappropriate, but when he suddenly saw Gu Fengxun's appearance of smiling but not smiling, he immediately closed his mouth, and then thought about it carefully, huh? It seems like...... It's a good fit.
Let's talk about age first, Princess Han is only two or three years younger than Helian Loufang, and this age difference is very appropriate. Speaking of temperament, Princess Han's upright and upright personality is also compatible with Helian Loufang's swordsman temper. Speaking of identity, although Princess Han is not surnamed Mi, she is Ling Han's cousin, in terms of bloodline, she is closer than the lord of Huiming, and Princess Han is still the righteous sister recognized by Ling Han, at least nominally, she is also the authentic princess of Western Chu.
The only embarrassment is that Princess Han has always regarded herself as Princess Han to the outside world, but it is a matter of one sentence to cancel this title. The most important thing is that Ling Han has a sense of regret for Princess Han, it is he who has missed her life, if there is an opportunity to make up for it, Ling Han will naturally not let it go.
Helian Loufang's temperament is not picky, otherwise, Ling Han would not have become friends with him, weak only in identity, swordsman with princess, that is only in the book, but now Helian Loufang started from rebellion, and arched out a king of Wu to whitewash himself, and also got the title of general, and he is completely worthy of the princess.
After thinking about it, Ling Han couldn't find anything bad, so he wrote a letter to Princess Han and asked her what he meant. No matter how good others look at it, they can't match her own word "willing".
A few days later, Princess Han replied to the letter, not saying yes, nor saying no, only saying that she wanted to see General Helian first.
Ling Han was not surprised at all, Princess Han was originally a person with an idea, and now this marriage not only involved her own life, but also related to the alliance between Wu and Chu, it was normal for her to see Helian Loufang first. So he replied to Helian Loufang, whether he was willing or not, it depended on Helian Loufang.
Helian Loufang is here, but he was chased and killed all the way, if it weren't for the enough people he brought, and Guo Nuan, a veteran who fled for his life, by his side, it is estimated that no matter how strong his swordsmanship is, he will have to be in the middle of the road.
In order to see him, Ling Han also went out of the palace in secret, but when he saw Helian Loufang's embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Aren't you traveling secretly?" How did you get targeted? ”
Helian Loufang snorted coldly while wrapping up his wounds: "How else can you keep an eye on it, you have been sold." ”
From the very beginning, the Jianyong Army was not his own family, the original county Lian clan was moved by him, and he joined forces to resist Qin, but also forced by the situation at the time, not united only by the Qin army one by one to break through, no one can get good, and now the Jianyong Army climate has become, and the king of Wu came out of the right name, and has been supported by the people of Wu and the family, and the internal struggle for power is inevitable. Originally, although the Helian line was weak, with Li Min, the dog-headed military advisor, it was equivalent to indirectly obtaining the protection of Cen Yan, a national soldier, and it also made the people and families of Wu more inclined to support Helian Loufang, especially the scholars, it was because of them that the internal balance of the Sword Warrior Army was maintained.
But now Helian Loufang suddenly courted Xichu, once he married the princess of Xichu, Helian and his momentum will rise greatly, and he will get the strong help of Xichu, and the original county Lian clan will naturally become weaker and weaker, of course, some people will not see Helian Loufang's successful courtship, and secretly sell him to the Qin State, resulting in Helian Loufang being chased and killed by the Thousand Scales Guard as soon as he came out of Wu.
It is also the Thousand Scales Guard that has suffered several setbacks in the past few years, and the loss of essence is sharp, and Song Chenggong is far inferior to Liu Hui's old scheming back then, otherwise, Helian Loufang will most likely repeat the mistakes of Helian Tingfang this time and die in the well-arranged siege.
Ling Han turned a blind eye to Helian Loufang's embarrassment and said, "You should go directly to Yuedi by sea." ”
The sea is now dominated by the Yue family, and several estuaries of the Wu State are in the hands of the Sword Yongjun, Helian Loufang is much safer to go by sea than by land, and he can go directly to see Princess Han, so he doesn't have to go around to Xichu at all.
Helian Loufang grinned and said: "When men and women look at each other, how can they meet in private, of course, there must be a matchmaker and a certificate, I respect Princess Maoyang." ”
Princess Maoyang, the title of Princess Han or Princess of Yue, although there is no Yueguo now, but Ling Han recognized her as her sister-in-law, the title of Princess Maoyang was naturally restored, but Princess Han has always regarded herself as Princess Han, in fact, officially, she should have changed her name to Princess Maoyang a long time ago.
As soon as Ling Han heard this, he laughed and said, "I thought that it was Li Min's idea that you used my letter to climb down the pole and ask for marriage to Xichu. ”
If it was just a simple political marriage, Helian Loufang didn't need to take this risk, now it sounded like he really wanted to marry a wife.
Helian Loufang glared and said: "As for me, just work hard to resist Qin, where the righteousness is, I will not hesitate to do it, but I will not even sell it for life." ”
He asked to marry, but he suddenly realized that when it was time for him to marry, he changed to someone else, and at his age, his sons were all running away. As for finding Xi Chu, it is purely a double win, the point cannot be wrong, and if he is wrong, it will appear that his intentions are not pure. Moreover, Ling Han's relationship with him is there, and the wife candidate he chooses for him must not be wrong, is it the princess of Xichu In fact, Helian Loufang doesn't care too much, the important thing is the person, not the identity.
