Chapter Seventy-Four: Buying People's Hearts
When Li Tongguang went to the mission before, Ren Xin showed up, and Li Tongguang didn't recognize him at that time.
Although he was wearing a man's dress that time, his appearance was not much different from this time, but he changed into a woman's clothes, and he was noticed by Li Tongguang without thinking about it.
And Li Tongguang didn't really recognize it, but he felt that it was a little similar, and it was a place in Xuanzhou, so he asked unconsciously.
As for the purpose of the Suguo mission this time, of course he also knows, since it is to choose a concubine for Li Hao, the crown prince, it is indeed normal to have the female history of the palace to follow.
Everything sounded reasonable, and Li Tongguang snuffed out the very absurd idea in his heart.
He immediately replied, "I didn't expect Lord Li to be a close minister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful."
Seeing that Li Tongguang changed the topic by himself, Li Hao also knew that this matter was in the past.
Then he smiled, handed over the green dates to Ren Xin, and asked her to wash them in the river, and then bring them to the carriage to eat.
Ren Xin pretended to be very obedient in front of outsiders, and left after taking it.
When only Li Hao and Li Tongguang were left, Li Tongguang smiled and said, "Lord Li is really blessed, he has red sleeves to add fragrance to this trip, but Ren Nushi's identity?"
According to the usual practice, it is definitely not good for female officials in the palace to have contact with courtiers.
But since Li Hao said this, he naturally made a draft in his heart: "Regarding the history of me and Ren Nu, I also know about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I have asked the queen for the blessing.
After this mission, I will officially marry her, so Changqinghou doesn't have to worry about me."
Li Tongguang looked relieved when he heard this, but then he tentatively said: "That's fine, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country has been assassinated, will it make this matter a little more twisty and turning."
The situation after Li Hao's assassination has been rumored a lot by the outside world.
Although Li Tongguang did not know that Li Falcon and Zheng Zhuo had reached some agreements, he still knew about the movement of Anguo's soldiers and horses to assemble on the border of Ansu.
Therefore, when Li Hao mentioned the matter of the prince, he decisively tested it.
Li Hao did not respond positively, but said: "A little Xiaoxiao is just a disease of moss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in good health, and he wrote a few days ago, ordering us to transfer to Anguo, and everything is as usual."
was blocked by Li Hao like this, Li Tongguang knew that the temptation was useless, so he decisively changed the topic and talked about the matter of choosing a concubine.
"Since everything is business as usual, it seems that the side concubine of the prince of your country this time is going to be out of our country, but I don't know how you are going to choose."
Li Hao replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the East Palace, and he is the most important in the world, and this side concubine chooses naturally the most important character, but we are just running errands and collecting some information, and the specific candidate will still be determined by His Royal Highness."
By the way, Changqinghou also grew up in Andu, so I think I should have some understanding of the famous ladies in Andu, and I still have to ask you for help when I can't say it."
Li Tongguang agreed with a smile, anyway, what he said may not necessarily be done.
Speaking of which, he has a thin background, and if he can have any suitable sisters and clansmen, he will definitely seize this opportunity.
After all, at this time in his heart, Li Hao's succession to the throne of Dasu is already a sure thing, and it is beneficial to be able to install one of his own people in Li Hao's harem no matter what.
At that time, his side will have power in Anguo, and if he can properly attract Li Hao, gather the power of An'an and Suzhou, and definitely make the Central Plains peaceful.
Li Hao didn't know about his idea, and even if he knew, he would only laugh at him for being naïve.
Ren Xin quickly finished washing the green dates, so the conversation between Li Hao and Li Tongguang ended naturally, and they each returned to the mission.
And this scene also fell into the eyes of everyone in the Wuguo Mission.
After the rest was over, the group continued to set off towards Andu, and Yu Thirteen, Qian Zhao and others rode around Ning Yuanzhou on horseback, talking about it.
Yu 13 threw out a question: "You say, this Li Hao and Li Tongguang are together
What will we talk about?"
Qian Zhao said, "The strength of the Hou officials of the Su Kingdom has grown rapidly over the years, and the branches of the Six Dao Tang in the Su Kingdom have disappeared one after another, and the information that can be heard now is extremely limited.
However, Li Hao was born as a marquis, and now he has the title of the Ministry of Rites, so what he wants to talk about is not a state affair, most of it has something to do with this envoy."
After hearing this, Yu 13 felt that it made sense, and guessed: "That is to choose a concubine for the prince of Suguo, isn't this Li Tongguang who wants to recommend his relatives?"
Ning Yuanzhou joined the group chat at this time and said, "This Marquis of Changqing only came out after I was imprisoned, there are very few records in the Liudaotang, and I haven't heard of which big family he was born in, most of them should not be the case, after all, Su Guo also has requirements for them to choose a concubine for the crown prince."
"That's right, I remember that there was either a deposed prince in Suguo before, or he married a princess of Anguo, with this precedent, most of them will follow the same path this time."
After speaking, Yu 13 slapped himself on the thigh and said, "If this is the case, it will be bad, if because of this marriage, in the future, the two countries of An and Su will unite, it will not be a good thing for my Dawu, you say we should find a way to mess up this matter."
Ning Yuanzhou shook his head and said, "This may not be, now the emperor of Anguo is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the prince of Suguo is also a person full of ambitions, how can these two be interfered with by a marriage.
Besides, our mission this time is to take His Majesty back to Dawu, which is already difficult enough, and there is no need to make more complications.
On the contrary, the mission of the host country has helped us many times before, and there must be something that we need to do, maybe let them become our help."
Qian Zhao also agreed with Ning Yuanzhou's words, and the two of them unified their opinions, and the rest of the people naturally didn't say anything.
But Yu Thirteen was not idle, and turned his head to talk about the situation of Princess Anguo, discussing which princess was more likely to marry into Suguo.
It's just that the others are not interested in this, Ning Yuanzhou pulled down the curtain, and the rest of the people dispersed directly, so that Yu Thirteen was not embarrassed.
Later, when they reached a shoal, Li Tongguang stopped the convoy.
Li Hao was chatting with Ren Xin in the car, but when he saw the carriage stop, he poked his head out to ask the reason.
As a result, I saw the little guy next to Li Tongguang running over and inviting Gu Fuchuan over to discuss something.
Li Hao was a little unsure, but he still didn't care, and there was nothing big anyway, so he turned around and talked to Ren Xin again.
It's just that he didn't say this for a while, and saw Ning Yuanzhou walking forward with Yang Ying.
Now his curiosity came up, so he said to Ren Xin: "This Li Tongguang, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, let's go over and listen."
Ren Xin was not interested in this: "If you want to hear it, go ahead, since I am just a female history in the palace, I can't ask about everything, and it's not appropriate."
"Okay, then you can sit here." After speaking, Li Hao also jumped out of the carriage and followed Ning Yuanzhou and they walked to the front.
Li Tongguang didn't say anything to Li Hao's coming, and directly started the topic: "Gu Zheng Envoy, Deputy Li Envoy, I stopped the convoy today because of an old incident during the Anwu War before, and I want to tell the Wu State Mission that it may take some time, and I ask for your understanding."
Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly thought of what Li Tongguang was going to do, and immediately said, "It's okay, anyway, it's not in a hurry."
With these words, Li Tongguang turned to look at Ning Yuanzhou and Yang Ying, who were still confused.
"In the battlefield of Wu Kingdom before, the Liudaotang should have sent some people to protect the lord of your country."
Ning Yuanzhou's expression tightened when he heard this, and he didn't understand the meaning of Li Tongguang's words.
After Li Tongguang saw it, he knew more in his heart, and continued to speak: "When I took down your lord, some people had already died on the spot."
Only then did Ning Yuanzhou speak: "You mean Chai Ming them?"
Li Tongguang nodded and said, "That guard leader is indeed surnamed Chai, and according to the order of the Chinese army, I should have thrown them into the river.
But I think they are also loyal and righteous, and they should not be left to the dead
There were no bones left, so I sent men to dig shallow pits during the night and buried them in the shallows."
At this time, Ning Yuanzhou suddenly looked around and said, "It's around here."
Li Tongguang nodded, and pointed his hand to the east: "Right there, I thought that Hall Master Ning was the Hall Master of the Six Dao Hall, and I must have wanted to meet them."
Ning Yuanzhou's expression was moved, and he said, "Thank you Changqinghou, I have remembered this kindness, and I also ask Changqinghou to send someone to take us to the recognition place."
Li Tongguang naturally did not refuse, let his subordinate Zhu Yi come out, and ordered him to take Ning Yuanzhou over.
Ning Yuanzhou didn't want to delay for a moment, so he went out of here directly and went back to find Yu Thirteen and them together.
"Marquis Changqing's means of kindness are clever, after today's incident, presumably in the negotiation between the two countries, Master Ning will always have to concede three points."
Li Tongguang heard Li Haode's words and said with a smile: "I am indeed grateful for the loyalty of these people, and today's matter can only be regarded as an unintentional willow."
Li Hao smiled kindly, and left with Gu Fuchuan.
Li Tongguang, who was not dragged down by emotional obsession, still has a good brain, and gives full play to what he has to help with future affairs.
After returning to his carriage, Li Hao told Ren Xin about it, and Ren Xin was also pleased.
Ning Yuanzhou and the others quickly found a place and dug up the bones and name tags of Chai Ming and others who had died in battle.
After that, they didn't want them to leave their bodies in the wilderness like that, so they wanted to hold a ceremony.
The specific operation was carried out by the Wuguo people themselves, and neither Li Tongguang nor Li Hao sent anyone to help.
However, it also took time to prepare for this ceremony, and Li Hao and the others were bored staying in the carriage, so they watched outside with Li Tongguang and them.
I saw that Ning Yuanzhou led people to cut down trees first, build an altar, and put the dug bones on it.
Seeing this scene, to be honest, Li Hao was somewhat incomprehensible, because according to the customs at this time, in addition to the cremation ceremony in Buddhism, burial is still the mainstream among ordinary people.
Of course, if you want to say that you want their souls to return to their hometown, the bones are not easy to take away, and they have to be burned to ashes before being carried, then it is understandable.
But looking at this posture, I didn't prepare an ash niche or anything like that, it was originally buried well, and you didn't mean digging it out and breaking the ashes.
Anyway, Li Hao didn't know much about this brain circuit, so he just watched quietly from behind.
As for the sense of substitution, anyway, as far as Li Hao's experience in the battlefield is concerned, this time it is really nothing.
After all, Ning Yuanzhou's Guanshan fell into battle, returned to the soul of morality, was brave and righteous, and who was Danxin for... 's eulogy, the whole feeling is a little weak, no emotion at all.
The degree of infection is not as good as Yang Ying's respect for the king and the worship of the king.
It was the people in the Liudao Hall, who were immersed in it, and saw that after Sun Lang finished toasting, he directly threw the bowl.
shouted: "I want to kill the Anguo people and avenge the Heavenly Dao brothers."
It was still Qian Zhao who grabbed him: "There are no eyes on the battlefield, don't blame the enemy, you can only blame them for their bad lives."
Ning Yuanzhou saw that this atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly stood up.
After all, at this time, Li Tongguang was standing behind with people, and they were originally well-intentioned, so they couldn't really be looked down upon.
"Everyone, we can find the bones of the Heavenly Dao brothers and take their ashes home, all thanks to Changqing Hou, the war between the two countries has been over for a long time.
Now, only when everyone gives up their prejudices in their hearts can we truly stop the war, forge swords into plowshares, and restore a longer peace to the people of the world."
In the end, Ning Yuanzhou raised his voice: "Do you understand?"
Everyone in the Six Dao Hall replied in unison, "Understood."
Li Tongguang said that he was very satisfied with this performance, at least there was no loss today.
Li Hao on the side was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to bring the ashes back, and they didn't make the urn niche more obvious.
It's just Li Hao's embarrassment, standing aside
Ren Xin will obviously be wrong.
After returning to the carriage and the convoy continued to set off, Ren Xin said, "Why, hearing that people want to stop fighting and draw the war, you militant is a little uncomfortable."
Li Hao was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Why do you think so, they want to stop the war and want the people of the world to live in peace, why don't I do this."
It's just that their vision is limited to one place and one time, while I have a long-term vision, and I want peace for all eternity."
Ren Xin listened to too many political classes in Yixue, and he had already been instilled with a bunch of ideas of great unification.
Therefore, after hearing this, I still agreed with it in my heart, but I still teased Li Hao without admitting defeat.
Leaving here, the convoy continued to set off, this time heading straight for Andu, with nothing else in between.
When Li Hao rescued Shen Tuhui before, he had come to Andu once, and when he came again this time, he found that there was still no change here.
It's as if the past few years have passed in vain.
The only difference is that the last time I came, no one was making trouble at the city gates.
The convoy was led by Li Tongguang, followed by the Su State Mission, and the Wu State Mission was last.
It was precisely because it was sandwiched in the middle that when a pile of rotten vegetable leaves was thrown from the upper floor to the Wuguo Mission, Li Hao saw it quite clearly.
