Chapter 384: The Young Man in Fresh Clothes and Angry Horses
With Huo Ning coming back, the situation in the Northern Desert has changed upside down.
He returned safely and unscathed, while Huo Yanqi's side was not so smooth.
He originally wanted to use the people who replaced all the khans with him to better control the ten tribes, but Nanjiang suddenly intervened, leaving him with the enemy on his back.
What Huo Ning said that Huo Yanqi couldn't laugh at right away was that Guijiang used the terrain to launch a provocation on the border between the northern desert and southern Xinjiang.
The Khan of Southern Xinjiang actually said that he would be loyal to the Li Dynasty at the last Liang Yun return ceremony, and once again announced that he would bow down to the Li Dynasty.
Lizhen was trying to win them over with the Holy Maiden, but instead of winning them over, he also lost the Holy Maiden.
The Khan of Southern Xinjiang seized on this loophole and publicly said that he did this all because of the edict of the Holy Maiden.
Yes, now the whole world knows that the Holy Maiden of Lizhen is showing favor to the Li Dynasty, and instead of wanting to provoke, she wants to live in peace with the Li Dynasty.
The people of southern Xinjiang are fierce and good at fighting, and they have been provoking at the junction for half a month, and finally the northern desert is exhausted.
Huo Yanqi ordered all the Northern Desert soldiers to be withdrawn, and wrote a letter to the Southern Xinjiang Khan, asking him what he wanted.
The Khan of Southern Xinjiang opened his mouth and asked for two pieces of land in Northern Desert.
It is precisely the important town where the two sides meet, and the Li Dynasty was very open to the management of the surrounding alien races, although they all belonged to the Li Dynasty on the surface, but each alien race inside could live their own life and develop their own livelihood.
If you want to say that Huo Ning made any deal with the Khan of Southern Xinjiang, it is that he gave the Khan of Southern Xinjiang an idea, and asked him for a city before, which caused the Khan of Southern Xinjiang to feel uncomfortable, and Huo Ning generously immediately gave him two pieces of land.
On the day of the negotiation, he said that as long as the Khan of Southern Xinjiang helped him this time, he would be able to get the two pieces of territory he had always wanted without much effort.
This is a good deal, and no one will refuse it.
Huo Ning also has his own little abacus, he promised Liang Yun to give her a dowry for the city, but now he only has one city, and he is still two short of it.
Seeing his thoughts, the Khan of Southern Xinjiang asked with a smile, "General Huo has done me such a big favor, what do you want?"
"Return to the inside and sink the chamber." He named two places he wanted.
These two places are the most linear places close to Chang'an, from Chang'an all the way to the south, it takes less than two days to arrive, these two places are very small in southern Xinjiang, and they are not important.
But he took a fancy to it.
He remembered that Liang Yun had said before that she liked the kind of places with extremely beautiful scenery, like a paradise, where Guili and Shenlin were places.
He believed that Liang Yun would fall in love when he went there to see it.
Huo Ning's request surprised the Khan of Southern Xinjiang, and he didn't understand why he wanted these two places, but compared with Chang'an, the prosperity was far worse.
It's the land of barbarians again.
Huo Ning smiled and played with the small arrow cluster in his hand: "My wife likes it, I just gave it to her as a dowry."
"Ma'am? Isn't General Huo referring to the Holy Maiden?"
Huo Ning nodded.
Anyway, now his matter with her is no longer a secret matter, and he generously said that it is an oath***.
The southern Xinjiang khan was stunned.
Then, when Southern Xinjiang got the important town land donated by the Northern Desert, at the same time, Huo Ning also got the deed rights of Guili and Shenmu. Look at the book
Liang Wan went to Lizhen's village.
Seeing the emperor and the queen mother, due to the persecution of southern Xinjiang, a situation of tripartite checks and balances has been created, so there is no need to be as careful as before.
She went to tell the emperor and the queen mother about letting them return to the court one day.
But as soon as he entered the village, the emperor, who was usually high-minded, actually played with the Lizhen children in the village, and a group of children gathered around him and listened to his colorful stories.
Liang Yun changed the emperor's appearance to a wise old man, he was in the village these days, the children have not seen his true face, just Uncle Huo, Uncle Huo shouted.
Liang Wan stood to the side, wanting to greet him, but the emperor stopped her from afar and asked her to wait for a while.
The emperor told the story of the mutual benefit of the Ten Divisions of the Northern Desert and the Li Dynasty many years ago.
The children were fascinated by this, and a thin boy asked, "Uncle Huo, since you used to be so good as you said, why doesn't Chang'an have an official position of our alien race?"
He got to the point.
The emperor thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he promised him, "If the emperor knows what you said, he may help you realize it."
"Uncle Huo, I want to gain fame when I grow up, and I will also go to Chang'an, if the emperor in the imperial city can treat us equally and not treat us as aliens, then more people will have the same dream as me."
The child's words were clear and clear, which impressed the emperor. He looked at the child with admiration and had high hopes for him, "Okay, then when you grow up, you have to keep your promise."
The child still doesn't know who he was given as a child.
The emperor had enough of the children and got up. Seeing Liang Wan coming over, he smiled even more: "The place you arranged for me is very good, it can let me see a different world, I am used to staying in the imperial city, and I have never been so close to these people."
Liang Yun: "Holy Lord, should you really do what the kid said?"
"Why not? I still cared too much about the ancestral system before, but in fact, this rebellion in the Northern Desert made me understand that it was not a long-term plan to rely on the generals of the Li Dynasty to fight in the south and the north, and if you want to win the hearts of the people, you still have to see through the hearts of the people."
"I have done so many new policies before, but there is no one that can allow the surrounding alien races to merge, Chang'an has also set up official positions about alien races, but it is only one or two, if the new rules are added in the autumn of next year, maybe you can get the return of the world."
The emperor's open-mindedness made Liang Yun gradually smile.
It turned out that what Huo Ning said was true.
He said that the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother were the most benevolent and enlightened rulers in his opinion. He said that under the leadership of the emperor and the empress dowager, the Li Dynasty will get better and better.
Mingzong Zhongxing is not impossible to achieve.
At this time, outside the village, Huo Ning came on horseback, and he was anxious to tell her the good news, so he was reckless, entered the village, and threw the horse.
Shout her name.
Liang Yun and the emperor turned back at the same time.
The emperor smiled: "Ah Ning, I don't know when this character will be more stable, and it is clear that he wants to be a father, but he is still so worrying."
"In the future, you will discipline him more, I believe in you, with you, maybe he will mature a lot in a few years."
Liang Wan watched the young man rush towards her.
Thinking of the first time she met him, and thinking of the things the two of them had experienced before, she suddenly felt that it was good that he didn't change.
The young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, always so fresh and wanton, makes her yearn for it.
"Holy Lord, whatever he looks like, he is what I like, so your request to ask the minister for forgiveness cannot do it."
Liang Wan saluted and walked a few steps briskly towards Huo Ning.
The young man ran panting, hooked her into his hand and said, "The other two dowry gifts for you are already here, Liang Yun, when will you marry me?"
