"There are those who agree with and pro, of course, there are those who oppose and pro, but what do they say afterwards? Willing to let his daughter replace Princess Ding'an and relatives, or replace it with a courtier or a palace maid. ”

"But for the Son of Heaven, what is the difference between a princess and a palace maid?"

"The Son of Heaven is the one who made a vow when he was a teenager to clear the desert! But now, who can carry on his unfinished business? ”

Ning didn't make a sound for a long time.

Dingguo Gong casually lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the bright moon in the sky with a blank expression.

There are also some things that he can't say to his daughter.

When he was chosen to be the companion of the Son of Heaven, the life of the Son of Heaven was not very good.

The Son of Heaven was the concubine of the former emperor, but because the former emperor and the empress did not get along and favored concubines, the son of heaven was born very late, and he had several elder brothers in front of him, and he was not favored by the first emperor.

The emperor's mother, on the other hand, died early in the midst of the harem turmoil.

The emperor soon established a successor, and then gave birth to a son, so the life of the emperor became more and more difficult.

Fortunately, there was still Princess Celestia to take care of him at that time.

The eldest princess was not the sister of the Son of Heaven, her biological mother was a palace servant of the Son of Heaven's mother, and she was pregnant after being fortunate by the Emperor, but she died in childbirth, and because she was a girl, she was raised under the knee of the Son of Heaven's mother.

Ding Guogong closed his eyes, and he could vaguely recall her appearance.

Her temperament is really good, both frank and refreshing, she is really good when she laughs, she asks him to call her sister, and there will be a kind of guidance for him to practice martial arts.

He was sweating profusely with the Son of Heaven, and the eldest princess supervised them with her hands behind her back, and said proudly: "That is, I will give birth to the body of a daughter, otherwise I will have to go to the battlefield!" But there's nothing wrong with my daughter's family, wasn't there a strange woman like Princess Ding'an in the past? ”

Later......

The eldest princess was ordered by the emperor to send her to kiss her.

Throughout the emperor's dynasty, there were several marriages before and after, but only that time, the real princess who was allowed to marry.

Needless to say, the pillow wind in the harem played a role, and the root cause of this was probably because she had been taking care of the young Son of Heaven after the death of the queen.

On the day the eldest princess left the palace, the Son of Heaven did not go to see her off, and the emperor was very dissatisfied with this, thinking that this son had no heart, and the eldest princess took care of him last when she was there, but he did not take a look before leaving.

But the eldest princess just smiled, looked at him beggingly, and said, "Go and accompany him." ”

He also said to the emperor: "That child has always been deeply affectionate, and probably there is no difference. ”

Dingguo Gong found the Son of Heaven in the bamboo forest where the eldest princess taught them martial arts.

He sat on a stone in the middle of the woods, facing north, and wept silently.

Dingguo Gong didn't say anything, but just stood aside silently.

I don't know how long it has been, but when he heard the Son of Heaven call his name, his teeth clucked: "In my lifetime, I must level the desert so that there will be no more peace in this dynasty!" I can't do it, my children and grandchildren must do it too, and if I don't do it, heaven and man will kill it! ”

Ding Guogong said: "Good! ”

The next year, Da Mo sent an obituary, and the eldest princess was born.

When she was in the palace, no one cared, although she was the eldest daughter, she was also called the eldest princess and the eldest princess.

Now that she's dead, no one cares.

Even the Son of Heaven was silent for a few moments, then turned his head and continued to study his homework.

But Dingguo Gong knew that he actually remembered the eldest princess.

He is the only one who will personally transcribe the scriptures on the birthday and death day of the eldest princess and send her to death.

It's just that even after he ascended the throne, he didn't do it with much fanfare, but called him and quietly went to the temple to offer lamps, or copied scriptures and worshipped together.

"Let others know what to do," said the Son of Heaven, with a gloomy expression, "it is nothing more than using her as a raft to invite pets, and she must be impatient to look at this." ”

Because of what happened to him, he treated his wife well, and after the death of Empress Yuan, he did not set up a successor, but took the young prince to his side to raise him personally.

But the crown prince walked ahead of the Son of Heaven......

I deeply remembered Princess Celestia again, it was a few years ago.

It was also a palace banquet, and the Son of Heaven asked the crown princess in a discontented manner: "How can you tell your daughter to learn those things that fight and kill?" Speaking out makes people feel that the heavenly family is less taught. ”

The crown princess was very helpless: "That child has a big temper, and her daughter-in-law can't persuade her." ”

The Son of Heaven ordered that the granddaughter, who had always been displeased with him because she had brought his brother tired, was summoned to the palace.

Dingguo Gong didn't pay much attention to it at first, until he heard a little girl say crisply: "In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father, and in the previous dynasty, Princess Ding'an guarded the pass for her father, and my grandfather was the son of Shengming, so what is strange about a Mulan?" ”

As soon as Dingguogong's hand was released, the chopsticks fell to the ground.

He suddenly came back to his senses, bent down and picked it up, looking at the young girl with a complicated expression.

The eyebrows and eyes don't actually look like the eldest princess.

But the personality is really a bit similar!

After that, the Son of Heaven still rarely saw her, but he often rewarded her, saying that the girl's family was not good at learning those things that were fighting and killing, but he still sent his henchmen to teach her.

Therefore, on the day of the palace banquet, the Son of Heaven mentioned the matter of harmony, and the hearts of the people in the hall were different, and only the Dingguo Gong was determined to be abnormal.

The Son of Heaven's neck has been stiff for decades, how can it suddenly soften?

And the Son of Heaven is even less likely to let the county lord of Ding'an and his relatives go outside.

In a trance, Dingguo Gong recalled what the eldest princess said before leaving Beijing.

The child has always been affectionate, probably indistinguishable......

Chapter 90

The long car continued to move forward, and Liu Che's eyebrows vaguely showed a bit of remembrance: "The Son of Heaven is old, but his ambition is especially there." ”

Yingzheng came to his senses and said: "That's why he sent the loyal general to lead 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 cavalry to give the marry—this is not actually a person to marry, but a soldier who is ready to fight on the battlefield at any time, and he also sent internal guards to escort the princess of Ding'an nearby, one is to hold the order of the Son of Heaven, ready to take charge of the overall situation at any time, and the other is to stay here, so that he can take advantage of the situation to welcome the princess back to ......."

Li Yuanda stroked his palm and said: "No wonder Princess An will be chosen, she knows martial arts, and she has always been sharp and bold, and she will not cause chaos at critical moments." ”

Li Shimin added: "Don't forget, Princess Ding'an's maternal uncle Xie Shu is in Beiguan, if something really happens, how can he ignore it?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smack his tongue and said: "It's strange that people are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, and rabbits are old and it's hard to take them!" This old guy is old, but his brain is still very good! ”

The more they advanced, the more depressed the atmosphere of the send-off procession became, Tang Zuo's lips pursed tightly, his face sank like water, and all the followers behind him were silent, and he involuntarily clenched the blade in his hand.

And Xie Shu is even more worried - if you go any further, it will be too late!

Tang Zuo couldn't stand this gloomy atmosphere, so he turned his horse's head and went to inspect the rear troops, while Xie Shu took his place and urged the horse to supervise and inspect the troops in front.

The late autumn wind is easy to make people feel depressed, but the autumn wind outside the plug is another form, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky and attacking people, making people annoyed, but there is nothing to be done.

The procession sailed through the wasteland and then through the oasis, where a sparkling river meandered into the distance, shining brightly in the sun.

Xie Shu urged the horse forward for half an hour, and suddenly his eyes froze slightly—in the distance, a line of light horsemen was coming towards his own Pegasus!

He raised his hand sharply, signaled the team to stop and be on guard, and then looked closely, and someone came to reply: "General, this is the scout sent out earlier!" ”

Xie Shu's heart moved, and his mind recalled his nephew Chunlang's calm appearance, could this matter have anything to do with him?

He didn't let people down their guard, and who knows if it was his scouts who were attacked and stolen their horses and clothes to camouflage?

At the end of the day, you have to see a real person, and only after verifying your identity can you make a judgment.

But at this point, what will happen in the end......

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a small commotion from behind, and when Xie Shu looked back, he saw the young princess riding on a horse with a light veil on her face, and she came to him steadily and calmly.

Xie Shu subconsciously wanted to frown, realizing that he was in the sight of everyone at this time, he couldn't help but forcibly hold back and bowed down: "How did the princess leave the car?" ”

Liu Che didn't answer and asked, "What happened?" ”

Xie Shu paused slightly, but finally told the truth: "There are people who are suspected of scouts rushing back, probably something has happened......

Liu Che raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, I will wait for the news here with my uncle." ”

There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and Xie Shu has to obey his fate.

After half an hour later, the group of light riders finally came to the front with the rolling yellow sand, and after verifying their identities, they were led to Liu Che and Xie Shu.

"General, we have met several tribes who have come to our court with their children and the elderly in a place ten miles ahead, and there are about 100 people......

The scout was panting, the skin and flesh on his face were red from the sun, but his eyes were jumping with excitement: "They said that Da Shan Yu died, and the upper and lower three departments fought for Shan Yu's position, and now Dragon City is in chaos!" ”

Xie Shu was shocked: "Are you sure?!" ”

Da Dan is dead, this peace is bound to end here, and Dragon City is in chaos, they are backed by more than 10,000 elite soldiers, can they take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie?!

But can this be true?

What if it was Rong Di's strategy?!

The stakes were very high, but the scout did not dare to say with certainty, so he only said, "Please wait a little longer, and there are a few brothers behind, and they will bring people from those tribes over, and you can ask questions yourself." ”

Xie Shu said three times in a row: "Good, good, good!" ”

The abnormal movement in front of the team attracted everyone's attention, and the appearance of Princess Ding'an was like a ray of light in the dark night, attracting the attention of the people around her.

Liu Che caught a glimpse of the deputy commander of the internal guard who had taught Princess Ding'an since childhood, approaching, so he retracted his gaze with a calm expression, and after waiting for another quarter of an hour, he saw several scouts riding in pairs, bringing a few people dressed in grassland costumes.

The opening is: "The plough fox is dead!" ”

Xie Shu explained to Liu Che in a low voice: "Supporting the plow, you will know that the 'heaven' in Rong Di's language, Hu Tu means 'son', and supporting the plough and fox Tu is Rong Di's son of heaven, that is, Da Shan Yu." ”

Liu Che nodded and did not make a sound.

The old man wiped away the muddy tears on his face with his cracked palms: "The plough fox was smeared to death, and the whole dragon city was in chaos, and the people of the upper three tribes suddenly led the army to kill them, and they did not do anything with the people of the lower three departments, but they began to plunder a small tribe like ours, and they robbed the cattle and sheep, and many children and women who were suitable for childbirth were also robbed......

Liu Che asked softly at this time: "How did Da Shan die?" ”

The old man was at a loss, "Huh? sighed: "How can we know about small people like us?" I only vaguely heard that it was as if he had been killed, and the people in the upper three parts said that it was instructed by the lower three to do it......

The Rong Di was also divided into factions, and there was no hierarchy between the upper and lower three divisions, but purely by geography, and the most important difference between the two was the completely different political demands of the two sides, that is, whether to go south or west.

The reason why the lower three divisions have always advocated Zhang to go west, while the lower three divisions have always advocated that Zhang go south, and the reason is simple and simple - the pastures and land occupied by the lower three divisions are closer to the current dynasty, and once they encounter natural disasters or large-scale disease and death of livestock, they will go south to Kouguan that year.

As far as the upper three divisions are concerned, if they want to go south to plunder, they must pass through the territory of the lower three divisions, which are not only tiring to travel too far, but also easy to be stolen by others.

Even if you fight down more cities in the south, you will lose a boot across the territory of the lower three parts, how can you go directly to the Western Regions to grab it!

Not to mention that the resistance in the Western Regions was not as fierce as the powerful country in the south.
