The emperor was horrified. He originally thought that the Ming army had used all its strength in these wars, but he did not expect that things were not like that at all! Almost none of the strongest direct legions of the Ming Dynasty have arrived! The emperor couldn't help but swallowed. He was grateful that Ming had not used much strength in the previous war, but he was also extremely afraid of Ming's power.
Boleder continued: "I heard that they have also established military mansions in various places. Most of the time, these military mansions are civilians. They are only recruited into the army when the emperor deems it necessary. The number is very large. In addition, I heard that they Most of the prime-age men in the Ming Dynasty are registered in the military government's collection, and when necessary, almost all the prime-age men can be mobilized. Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is definitely an extremely terrifying beast, and one aircraft is specially designed for war. Machines made by them! Being an enemy of them will only lead to death!"
The emperor was extremely shocked and had only one thought in his mind, that is, he could not be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty no matter what. Then he told Ballard: "I feel that just signing these agreements with Ming Dynasty is far from enough to express our sincerity for peace. What do you think we should do to make Ming Dynasty happy?"
Boleder said: "I have studied the history of the Han people specifically for this purpose, and found that there is only one way to make them happy and to prevent them from ever thinking of invading us."
When the emperor heard that there was such a good way, he was very happy and asked quickly: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
"Make peace!"
"A marriage?" The emperor looked confused, obviously not understanding what a marriage meant.
Ballard explained: "It means giving our Tianzhu princess to the emperor of Ming Dynasty to be his wife. In this way, we Tianzhu and Ming Dynasty will be relatives. At that time, not only will Ming Dynasty not attack us, but even when we encounter In times of crisis, we will send troops to rescue you!”
The emperor was very happy and nodded: "Okay, okay! This is a great idea!" Then he thought: "I have sixteen daughters, four of whom are of the right age. Why not give them all to the Ming Emperor. "Ballard said: "Your Majesty is wise."
At this moment, the guard came to report: "Ajia'er wants to see you." The emperor called. A moment later, Ajia'er came in, saw the emperor, and bowed. The emperor asked with a smile: "What do you want to do here?"
Ajia'er couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that the emperor had turned away from the depressed look during the court discussion and became very happy.
"Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's instructions, I have selected two people who are familiar with the affairs of the Liao Kingdom and the Western Liao Kingdom to serve as envoys to the two countries."
The emperor then remembered that he had previously agreed to send envoys to form an alliance with Xiliao and Khitan to deal with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he thought this was a good idea. However, after knowing the specific situation of Daming, how could he still dare to become an enemy of Daming? After hearing what Ajia'er said, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I thought about this again, and I feel very bad! Since we have made peace with the Ming Dynasty, how can we still be enemies with them?"
Seeing that the emperor had repented, Ajia'er was very puzzled and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, haven't we discussed it carefully before? We can only deal with the Ming Dynasty by uniting with the Western Liao Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom!"
The emperor said: "I have a better way. Not only can I prevent Ming from invading us, but I can also gain a powerful ally in Ming!"
Ajia'er was very surprised, thinking how could such a good thing happen? Said: "Your Majesty, I really can't think of any way to do this?"
The emperor glanced at Ballard, who said proudly: "It's actually very simple. As long as we give the princess to the Ming Emperor and become his wife, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be a threat to us, but will become our relative." , has become our strongest backing!”
Ajia'er was taken aback, and then became very angry and said angrily: "This is too humiliating! How can we give the princess to the Han people to waste!" Ajia'er said angrily: "My lord, what you said is wrong. Our princess went to the Ming Dynasty and became the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be said that it is a waste? Is there a better man in the world than the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? If it is a waste to be the wife of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be an even greater waste to be the wife of someone else? "Emperor? He nodded with deep understanding.
Seeing that the emperor actually agreed with Boleder's words, Ajiaer couldn't help being shocked and said anxiously: "It is impossible to resolve the threat of the Ming Dynasty by doing this? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not give up his ambitions for a woman!"
Ballard couldn't help but said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty naturally has great ambitions, but as long as we become relatives with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will never attack us and will become our strong ally. His ambitions are endless There is no need to attack us." In the past, Bolede would never have dared to contradict Ajiaer, but at this moment, the emperor obviously agreed with his point of view more, and he was eager to Di hoped that he could gain a higher status through this, so after hearing Ajia'er's words, he couldn't help but refute.
Ajia'er was surprised when he saw that this little messenger dared to contradict him. He couldn't help but feel very angry. The emperor said: "What Bold said is very correct! As long as we become relatives with the Ming Dynasty, not only will we not have to worry about their threats, but we will also have a powerful alliance! Not only that, we can even follow the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world. , Get countless benefits from it!" At this point, Yan couldn't help but feel that this method couldn't be better.
Ajiaer continued to persuade, but the emperor could not listen. Instead, he became angry and shouted: "I have decided this matter, so stop talking nonsense!" Ajiaer had no choice but to close his mouth. He looked at the proud-looking Ballard in annoyance. In his heart, he probably thought that Ballard was an Indian traitor!
Later that day, Daming returned to the harem. From a distance, I saw my four daughters talking and laughing by the railing in the distance. The four daughters are plump and sexy. Although they have different looks, they each have their own charm and charm. They are completely different from the temperament of the Central Plains women and are full of exotic customs.
When the four girls saw their father coming, they immediately stopped talking and laughing and stepped forward to pay homage to their father.
The emperor chuckled, looked at the four daughters in front of him, and sighed: "My daughter is really a goddess from heaven descending to earth! She is so beautiful, more delicate than flowers, how can mortals compare with her!"
The four girls couldn't help laughing when they heard their father's praise.
The emperor said: "You have all grown up and it's time to get married." The four girls were a little surprised when their father suddenly mentioned this. The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left asked in confusion: "Why did father suddenly say this?" Have you talked about this?"
The emperor asked: "Have you ever heard of the Ming Emperor?"
The four girls showed fear and looked at each other. The princess on the right with a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth said: "Of course we have heard of it! He is our biggest and most terrifying enemy in Tianzhu!" The other three girls He nodded sympathetically.
The emperor waved his hand and said: "That is a thing of the past. Today's situation is completely different. We have made peace with the Ming Dynasty!"
The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left said: "We have all heard about this. Although this is a good thing, so much land was occupied by the Ming Dynasty after all. We can't forget this. One day we will have to Recover the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty! That is our land!" The other three princesses nodded in agreement.
The emperor frowned and said: "Compared with our Tianzhu, who do you think is better than the Ming Dynasty?"
The four princesses said together: "Of course our Tianzhu is stronger." The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left said: "Although our Tianzhu suffered some losses, it is just because we were careless. If both sides faced off like heroes, , we Da Tianzhu will definitely be able to defeat them!" The other three girls nodded in sympathy.
The emperor asked in surprise: "Who did you listen to?"
The four princesses looked at each other, and the extraordinarily tall and sexy princess said, "That's what everyone said."
The emperor was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "This is not true." He glanced at the four daughters and saw confusion in their eyes as bright as stars. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although I hate to admit it, the Ming Dynasty is far more terrifying than you think! Do you know how many enemy troops our army of more than one million had to deal with in the Battle of Dali?"
The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left said: "The enemy army must be much more numerous than us!" The other three girls nodded together, and the princess on the right with a beauty mark dotted on the corner of her mouth said: "If the enemy army is not There are far more than us, how can we be defeated!"
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not like that. In the battle of Dali, our army had more than one million troops, while the enemy's army was only about 300,000..."
When the four women suddenly heard this, they all showed expressions of shock and disbelief. The emperor frowned and said: "Our army is three to four times that of the Ming Dynasty. However, on the east bank of the Nu River, it was defeated in seven out of seven battles and suffered heavy losses!"
The four girls couldn't help but shook their heads. The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left said angrily: "This is impossible! How can this be true!"
The emperor said: "This is true. Would my father use such a thing to deceive you?" The four girls were silent, their brows furrowed tightly. They could not accept this matter in their hearts, and their expressions looked sad and confused. He was angry and a little overwhelmed.
The emperor said: "On the Tubo battlefield, our army of nearly 200,000 people faced only 20,000 or 30,000 enemy troops. In the end, the entire army was wiped out. In the end, the enemy troops invaded the country all the way. The northern army could not resist it at all. It can almost be said that They were completely defeated by their opponents! Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the Ming army is very terrifying! They are like the legendary demon gods of Shura Hell, running rampant in the world and unbeatable! They are warriors born for war, No one under the sky can compete with them!" He glanced at the four women and saw that they all showed very frightened expressions, and continued: "The Ming Army has direct legions and ten major legions, the most elite of which is the direct legion. And those fighting us during this period are almost not directly affiliated with the army! They also have huge reserve forces. Countless military mansions can mobilize a large number of combat forces in a short period of time, and among their prime men, quite a few of them are Some of them can join the army when necessary! This is simply an extremely huge and terrifying war machine. There is no way that we in Tianzhu can be their opponent! If the war with the Ming Dynasty continues, we in Tianzhu are probably destined to perish. of!"
The four women looked pale and couldn't help but feel worried. The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left said: "According to what my father said, our Tianzhu has no hope!" Then thinking of the peace treaty that has been signed, she asked puzzledly: "If the Ming Dynasty is so terrible, why are they still here?" Do you want to sign a peace treaty with us?"
The emperor said: "Because the Ming Emperor does not want to go to war with us. Their main enemies are the Western Liao and the Liao people! Therefore, almost all of their most elite troops are in the north!" The four women felt a little relieved.
The emperor glanced at his four daughters and said: "I have a way that can not only eliminate the threat of Ming Dynasty, but also make Ming Dynasty our most powerful ally. But I need your help."
The four girls were greatly surprised. The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left asked in confusion: "Even the Kshatriyas and so many armies are no match for the Ming Dynasty. What can we do?" The other three princesses also had the same problem. I have the same question, I don’t know what role I can play in this matter if I am powerless.
The emperor looked at the four beautiful daughters in front of him and said: "Sometimes, a beautiful woman is far better than an army of millions!"
The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess on the left couldn't help but feel moved when she heard this, and then her face turned pale and asked: "Could it be that the devil wants us from father?" As soon as these words came out, the other three princesses also They all showed expressions of fear.
The emperor said: "Although what you said is not completely correct, it is almost the same. I want to marry you to Emperor Ming. As long as you become the concubines of Emperor Ming, then we Tianzhu and Daming will be relatives, and Daming will naturally no longer be. Threat, and will become the strongest ally!"
The four princesses were silent, and two of them sobbed. It can be seen that these four princesses are very sad about their father's decision.
The emperor said helplessly: "I have no choice! If there is any other way, I will never do this! But there is no other way at all! The Ming Dynasty is really too powerful and terrifying! Now the Ming Dynasty has not wanted to destroy it We Tianzhu, but if one day the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy our Tianzhu, our Tianzhu has no possibility of survival! You can think about it first, our army of hundreds of thousands cannot deal with their tens of thousands of troops, if they invade with an army of hundreds of thousands , what will be the result? You are the only ones who can save Tianzhu now!" Seeing that although the women were moved, they still only cared about their sadness and did not express their opinions, so they knelt on the ground and begged; "Father, please! "
The four princesses suddenly saw their father kneeling down towards them. They were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help their father up. The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess cried: "That's what we promised father!"
The emperor was overjoyed and stood up and said, "I knew you wouldn't let me down!"
The extraordinarily tall and sexy princess glanced at the three sisters and said, "Just let me serve that devil! Sisters, please don't go!"
The emperor frowned and said, "You alone, I'm afraid this isn't enough!"
When the four princesses heard this, they felt sad. The princess with a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth said: "My sister and I will go together. The two sisters already have their sweethearts, please don't make things difficult for them!" The other two princesses looked at themselves pitifully. 's father.
The emperor glanced at his two daughters and thought to himself: "Her appearance and appearance are much different than those of her two sisters. It should be enough to have two sisters." ’ As soon as he thought about it, he nodded and said, “Okay, you two just stay.”
The Tianzhu envoy Bolede came to Bianliang again. Firstly, he discussed with the Ming Dynasty the specific matters of paying ransom in exchange for prisoners. Secondly, he told Yang Peng that the Tianzhu Emperor was willing to surrender to the Ming Emperor. In order to show his sincerity, he had decided to transfer the two beautiful girls to the Ming Dynasty. Her Royal Highness the Princess has sent it.
After the Tianzhu envoy went down, Zhang Xiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect it! These prisoners actually exchanged for more than 20 million taels of silver! It turns out that the most profitable thing is human trafficking!"
Everyone laughed, and Huang Guang said with a smile, "If human trafficking wasn't very profitable, there wouldn't be so many people taking the risk!"
Huang Qiaoyun said angrily: "What does this mean? What makes our Majesty the most happy is probably that he got two beauties from a foreign land easily!"
Zhang Xiang and other ministers looked strange, Chai Yongqi winked at his sister repeatedly, while Han Bing and other concubines looked annoyed.
Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Don't be jealous. Big brother, it's enough for me to have you. I have no intention of messing around with women for a long time!" When the girls heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy.
Tang Shidian said, "I have a different opinion." Everyone's eyes immediately fell on him. Just listen to Tang Shidian say: "This matter is related to the country, not just your Majesty's private matter. Tianzhu dedicates two princesses to His Majesty, which expresses its sincerity of surrender. If Your Majesty does not accept it, I am afraid it will make Tianzhu feel anxious and uneasy ."
Chai Yonghui glared at Tang Shidian angrily, looking like he was gnashing his teeth. All the cabinet ministers believed that what Tang Shidian said was reasonable, but they did not dare to offend the imperial concubines, so they did not speak. Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "It's okay for Tianzhu to feel anxious and uneasy. But if Tianzhu feels anxious and uneasy, the situation there may not be stable. This is detrimental to our overall strategy."
Yang Peng said angrily: "So for the sake of overall strategic considerations, you want to betray your man!"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers suppressed their laughter, and all the imperial concubines couldn't help but smile, while Yelu Hanyu's face turned red, and she looked at Yang Peng with embarrassment and annoyance.
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Brother, just accept those two women. These two women are useless. You really don't want them for nothing!" Even so, her tone and demeanor were all that. Yang Peng smiled bitterly and looked at her affectionately. Ye Qi Guanyin felt relieved, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, and then she showed helplessness and said: "Brother, as an emperor, you cannot be willful in many cases! As an emperor, you often have to make sacrifices. !”
Zhang Xiang said: "Your Majesty, I think there can be such a method."
Chen Xiao looked at Zhang Xiang and asked: "What kind of method? Is there any other method for this kind of thing?"
Zhang Xiang said: "It is true that as Mr. Tang said, the two Tianzhu princesses are Tianzhu's sincerity. If your majesty does not accept it, it is really unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. However, emotional matters are indeed reluctant. His majesty does not love them, so he reluctantly accepts them." , it is not good for your majesty, nor for the empresses. I believe that your majesty can treat them as guests and place them in a separate mansion. They will be treated the same as the empresses, but they will not be given any status. In this way Come, Your Majesty accepts Emperor Tianzhu’s wishes, but there is no need to be embarrassed.”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Han Bing praised: "This is a good idea!"
Yang Peng nodded and said: "Then let's do it."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
