Chapter 259: Another Choice
Now that the Eastern and Western Turks are reunited and live together on the steppe, the status of the Hanhai tribe, a large steppe tribe, has risen again.
And the status of women like the lord of Hanhai has also been greatly improved.
The higher the status, the more people you represent.
Therefore, Princess Hanhai's marriage to Li Kuan is also the expression of this group of Turkic nobles on the grassland.
If His Royal Highness the King of Chu needs it one day, we can fight for you, of course, provided that you have really worked hard for the life of our grassland, which has brought significant results.
Then we will bring the warriors of our own tribe, take the sword, and fight for life.
Li Mo really wanted to say that he and others had this idea.
But seeing that Li Kuan looked indifferent, he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.
Because he thought of Yu Zhining's other words.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu will never take the initiative to fight for anything, let alone do the kind of thing that I just talk about, but in fact I don't do anything.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu likes to do things and express his attitude with actions.
If he marries Princess Hanhai, then he will definitely find a way to boost the economy of the grassland, improve everyone's lives, and let the people of the grassland support him from the bottom of their hearts.
He will let you do that the king of Chu has something to do, and the men of the grassland, with their gratitude to the king of Chu, take their swords and ride horses to support him.
Li Mo and the others don't believe this, there are still Central Plains people in this world who don't paint big cakes?
We don't believe it.
But when he went to investigate the situation in Lingnan Chunzhou, he believed it.
These Turkic nobles are not two fools, they are also very smart, they chose Li Kuan, naturally they have to investigate him clearly, otherwise, how good it would be for them to marry Princess Hanhai directly to Li Shimin.
Lingnan Chunzhou, as well as a large circle of people next to Chunzhou, commented on the King of Chu: "The King of Chu has something, please tell us, we owe the King of Chu a life, anyway, we also have descendants, they also have a good life, it is good for us to return this life to the King of Chu, so that in the next life, the two do not owe each other." ”
Li Mo and the others were stunned when they saw this information, and they didn't know what Li Kuan had done to the people of Lingnan to make them worship the King of Chu so much.
If one or two are like this, they still won't believe it, but the whole Lingnan Chunzhou is like this, then they will believe it.
Li Kuan, the king of Chu, paid great attention to the lives of the people below.
That's what they came to after their investigation.
After getting this conclusion, Li Mo and the others still hesitated, and finally they decided to take a gamble, in case Yu Zhining's words were true, and the bet was successful, they, the great nobles of the grassland, would be the first people on the grassland to eat the benefits of grassland development.
Moreover, after the grassland is completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty, their titles, status, rights, etc. can be partially improved.
That's good, isn't it?
After all, Li Mo was still embarrassed to say what was in his heart, he decided to wait and see what Li Kuan would do next, and whether he would treat them as his own family.
Li Kuan didn't know what Li Mo was thinking, hesitated, and said, "Although I don't know what you think, but I want to ask a question, does Your Majesty really know about your forcible stuffing of my concubine?" ”
Li Kuan is not a fool, his current position in the grassland is quite embarrassing, and taking a Turkic county lord as a concubine will more or less stimulate Li Chengqian.
You must know that after Li Chengqian's foot on the slope, his heart and eyes were much smaller.
And Li Tai's heart is not big.
Li Mo saw the worry in Li Kuan's eyes, and once again sighed in his heart at Zhining's foresight.
Yu Zhining also said that Li Kuan, the king of Chu, did not have the heart to compete for the throne, but his ability was too strong, so strong that a group of people had to help him get to that position.
And there is no need to worry about the King of Chu taking Cao Shuang's path.
Because the King of Chu listened to the persuasion, it really came to that point, and a group of them drove the ducks to the shelves, and they could put the King of Chu on the shelves.
Of course, if any of the other princes can be broad-minded and accept the king of Chu, then everyone can accept their fate together.
But Li Mo thinks about Li Kuan's ability, this guy can really be reassuring?
Probably a father-level figure like Li Shimin can only tolerate Li Kuan when he is the emperor.
Li Mo went through everything in his mind, and said with a smile: "Of course, we still have to listen to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, where do we dare to marry the county lord indiscriminately." ”
"Unless you can get the kids out first."
Li Mo's ridiculous words made Li Kuan's face darken, he didn't feel that Li Mo was lying to him, he only felt that Li Shimin was sick, what did he think.
Shaking his head, since Li Shimin has recognized it, Li Kuan feels that he should admit it even more.
In Chang'an City, the eldest grandson Wuji is also thinking about this problem.
"Why would Your Majesty agree to such a thing as the Lord of Hanhai marrying the King of Chu?"
"Does Your Majesty have the heart to support the King of Chu to ascend to the throne?"
A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he didn't understand it at all.
His eldest grandson Wuji admitted that the king of Chu was capable, had a good heart, was handsome, and there was a group of capable people gathered around him, who had all the qualities that the emperor needed.
But Li Kuan, the king of Chu, was not from a correct background, he was not a son-in-law, he was not a descendant, and he went out.
But the eldest grandson Wuji is not a pedantic person, turning his head and thinking about Li Shimin's situation, he feels that Li Shimin, after seeing a better heir, has a high probability of choosing to break the jar and break it, and directly break the succession to the throne, just a primogeniture inheritance system.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest grandson Wuji thought of another thing, that is, his sister had mentioned that he would marry the daughter of the eldest grandson's family to Li Kuan.
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji had a clear expression, sighed, and said softly: "I'm still not as good as my sister's vision, I can see people accurately, and I understand Your Majesty." ”
"I'm afraid that my sister already knew His Majesty's choice when she chose a concubine for King Chu before."
The eldest grandson Wuji, who had figured out all this, sighed, he thought of Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke, who were trying to compete for the throne, these three idiots, probably didn't think of the problem yet.
No, I didn't even realize what the problem was.
After hesitating, the eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth, found his wife, and prepared to choose one of his concubines to marry Li Kuan as a concubine.
"If you want to do it, you will do your best, and since you have gambled, then you will bet on it."
Thinking of Li Kuan, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly thought of what Fang Xuanling had done recently, and felt that he should communicate with Fang Xuanling and test this old dog.
This guy looks smiling, maybe he is the person who hides the deepest in the line of King Chu.
And he felt that if Fang Xuanling got on Li Kuan's chariot, Du Ruhui would not be able to run, plus Wang Qi and Wei Zheng, the chariot of the King of Chu would already be able to smoothly hand over the Zhenguan Dynasty at this time.
