Liao Rong and Bei Liao were originally one family.
Decades ago, the old king of Beiliao loved his concubine and his young son, and wanted to pass the throne to his younger son.
But at this time, his eldest son, the established heir to the throne of Khan, and the prince of Bei Liao, had grown up.
Prince Beiliao was both civil and military, and he was tolerant and open-minded, and was deeply loved by his subjects.
The prince's maternal grandfather was also the general of Bei Liao. Even though the queen was old and frail, she still had very strong support.
But the old Khan could not help but feel sorry for his young son, and he loved him extraordinarily and even irrationally. He always wanted to give his young son the best things in the world.
The old Khan King thought about it secretly and felt that although he was already over fifty years old, he was still in good health. If he took good care of himself, he should not have a problem living another twenty years. It would be enough for him to spend twenty years making arrangements for his youngest son.
So the old Hanwang began to quietly accumulate strength for his younger son.
First of all, many civil servants and generals with no family backgrounds and poor backgrounds were promoted to the young son in Beiliao Royal Court, so that they would surround the young son as soon as they entered the court, follow the young son, assist the young son, and gradually formed a gradually expanding power around the young son. circle.
On the other hand, the old Khan began to weaken the prince's power in all aspects.
The first was to take advantage of the death of the prince's grandfather to reduce the military power of his family.
Transfer the prince's uncle and others out of the army.
Because the prince did not want it to be difficult for the prince, the prince's uncles did not resist and chose to obey.
Regarding the troops and horses of the prince's grandfather's family, the old Khan showed great magnanimity and evenly distributed these troops and horses to some major generals.
In this way, each of the generals who guarded the royal court benefited, and everyone was happy.
The only person who suffered a loss was the prince.
Although the prince had a certain strength in Khan Ting at this time, he was unable to confront his father head-on, so he could only grit his teeth and suffer the loss of being dumb.
In particular, the old Khan also coaxed the prince and said,
"The entire royal court will be yours from now on, so why care about these mere soldiers and horses in front of you? Your grandfather's soldiers and horses are now given to others. If you are willing, you can take them back to your uncles in the future! It's not a big deal. thing!"
The prince had nothing to say, and he was unwilling to break up with his father at this moment, causing all his previous efforts to be wasted.
Then the old Khan sent the prince as an envoy to Dazhou when his youngest son was eleven years old.
King Khan notified several ambitious ministers in Da Zhou who wanted to make meritorious deeds in advance.
So along the way, King Khan and the ministers of Dazhou secretly sent several groups of assassins to kill the prince.
For ministers like Da Zhou, although there is no war between the two countries, if the prince of Bei Liao can be captured alive or killed, and the prince is charged with "leading troops to invade Da Zhou but was intercepted and killed", it will definitely be in Da Zhou. It’s a great achievement!
Unexpectedly, the prince was wise and brave and escaped assassination attempts again and again! Yes, and he also captured several of Zhou's ministers' men.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty felt wronged at that time, but he admired him more and wanted to win over this talented prince.
At that time, a peace agreement with North Korea had been signed.
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty proposed that the princess or princess of the Zhou Dynasty should be betrothed to the prince, and the two families formed a son-in-law relationship.
But the prince, who has experienced several assassinations, still doesn't understand. His father wants to get rid of him. If he marries Dazhou here, his father will make a noise and say that he will betray Bei Liao and surrender to Dazhou. week!
And if he really defected to the Great Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't a foreign prince with no power be a useless person?
Although the prince was in a difficult situation at this time, he was still calm.
Father Khan's suspicion is suspicion, and assassination is assassination. After all, it cannot be brought to the surface, so it cannot be given to him.
On the way back to Bei Liao, the prince secretly sent someone to contact some soldiers and horses in Liao Rong who supported him, and informed them of their interests.
"You are an aristocratic family in the Liao Rong. For a long time, the monarchs and ministers have been united in resisting the Great Zhou Dynasty, which led to the grand situation of the Liao Rong today. Now, my father is old and confused by the adulterous concubine, and wants to abolish the eldest son and establish a young one! If the adulterous concubine, mother and son succeed, Her mother and her son will definitely eradicate families like yours and fight for military power and property for her mother’s family. By then, the Liao Rong will never have peace! The family is not far away!”
Under the prince's edict, many powerful officials in Liaorong who originally waited and watched gradually turned to the prince. Although a little doll is easy to control, if you are not the one who controls the little doll, wouldn’t it be like making a wedding dress for someone else?
The Liao Rong and the Great Zhou Dynasty had a history of trade for many years, and many people in the elite class had received a good education and influence from the Central Plains culture.
They were very touched by the allusion of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole followed behind.
When the prince led his troops to fight back to Liao Rong, the old Khan knew that the situation was over and did not panic!
Before the prince entered the palace, he had already sent someone to escort his young son and his favorite concubine and quietly left Beiliao with the troops and horses he prepared for mother and son!
Then, he quietly waited for the prince on the throne!
The next thing is relatively simple: the old Khan is seriously ill, the prince succeeds to the throne, and respects the old Khan as the Supreme Emperor.
The prince's younger brother occupied an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack city in the southernmost part of Bei Liao and established "Liao Rong"!
It is said that the reason is because the younger brother’s mother has “Xirong” ancestry.
After Li Mi popularized this historical knowledge to Ji Jun, Ji Jun turned his head and thought about it, frowned and said,
"It seems a bit like the story of Zhizhi Chanyu and Huhanxie Chanyu."
Li Mi saw Ji Jun wrinkled up the bridge of his nose, looking very naughty and cute, and couldn't help but stretched out his finger to scratch Ji Jun's nose.
"Xiang is like Xiang! Why are you so sad? My brothers separated and made you so worried! I didn't share your money!"
Ji Jun glanced at him sideways and pouted,
"Can't I worry about the country and the people? Aren't I worried about my uncle and the Li family army? Think about it, Bei Liao is already so difficult to deal with! Now that Liao Rong and Bei Liao are brothers, they can fight against Bei Liao , the strength is also relatively strong, aren’t we equal to one against two?”
Li Mi wanted to tease her, so he smiled and said,
"Have you ever heard of a brother-in-law feud? The two brothers have already fought for the throne and split the family into two! Why don't you want to do something good? Why don't you think that if they fight between them, we can just sit back and let it go? Where’s the fisherman’s profit?”
Ji Jun turned his head and looked at Li Mi, his face full of disbelief.
"Test me? Laugh at me?"
Li Mi quickly apologized and said with a smile,
"Don't dare, don't dare, let's discuss it with our Miss Ji!"
Seeing Li Mi's nervous and embarrassed look, Ji Jun couldn't help laughing!
Ji Jun is not the kind of "little fairy" who has a glassy heart and just "does it" when she has nothing to do.
She knew that Li Mi was teasing her, and she also knew that she knew very little about history, military knowledge, and the relations between the two countries in this era. She was not as rich as the young master from the aristocratic family in front of her. Ni'er can't compare.
Therefore, Ji Jun was very serious and humbly said,
"Actually, I have thought about it, but I always feel that although they were once life-and-death and intolerant of each other, in the face of a common enemy, they may not be able to reunite again. And if one party is powerful enough to crush the other, , he will annex the other side. At that time, the two armies that have experienced fierce wars together will really be a threat to the Great Zhou that cannot be underestimated!"
Hearing this, Li Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, his handsome face filled with joy.
"Who said that our Miss Hebei's literary skills and military skills are not as good as those of Ni'er or our Miss Hebei's? In fact, although cousin, you don't know very clearly about some historical allusions or the names of some people and places, but in fact there are Many of the principles are interlinked. Some histories are related and similar to each other. So some of your insights are very thorough and unique!"
Ji Jun was a little embarrassed to be praised by Li Mi. For a moment, his cheeks were slightly red, and the light in his eyes was flowing, and he said in a low voice,
"I'm not as good as you say..."
Li Mi looked at Ji Jun, who was a little shy. At this moment, he was completely different from his usual magnanimous, generous and unflappable appearance. There was a warmth in his heart, and he thought to himself,
"You are very good, much better than I said, you are really very good!"
Regent Liao Rong proposed to marry the noble daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty this time, and specifically stated that he did not dare to reach out to the Princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Concubine Shangguan Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Unexpectedly, the heads of several county princes' families, the royal family, and the legitimate daughters of the first and second-rank officials' families were all excited!
"Yangxu! Tell me clearly! Why are you trying to harm me!" Qi Li angrily grabbed the sleeve of County Lord Yangxu and refused to let go until he explained clearly!
This was after the opening celebration party of "Good Neighbor". The two met again, this time at "Good Neighbor"!
On this day, the head of Jili County came to "Good Neighbor" again, wanting to see if the Ji sisters had heard anything!
The father, mother, concubine, and brother in the family are tight-lipped!
Someone told the Lord of Qili County that the father of the County Lord of Yangxu, the Prince of Long'an County, recommended it to the Holy Emperor and made the Lord of the County of Qili the "Princess Princess" and marry him to Liao Rong!
Before he could see Ji Jun and Ji Nin, the head of Qili County saw Yang Xu first, and he immediately felt "very jealous when enemies meet"!
County Master Yangxu tried his best but could not get rid of County Master Qili. The maid stepped forward and said,
"Master Qili County, please respect yourself!"
The Lord of Jili County slapped the maid in the face with his backhand.
"Bitch! Pretend to smile in front of others, but stab your back! Yangxu, you have the guts!"
How has Yangxu County Lord ever experienced such cowardice! She used her other hand to slap the Lord of Jili County mercilessly!
"Pop!" It's loud and crisp!
The Lord of Jili County suddenly felt his face burning with pain!
County Lord Qili was not someone to be trifled with. He grabbed County Lord Yangxu’s sleeve with his left hand and dragged County Lord Yangxu down to the ground!
Immediately afterwards, County Master Qili rode on County Master Yangxu's body, loosened his sleeves, and used his two free hands to greet County Master Yangxu's head and face!
Crackling! A punch of king's eight punches!
Crack! The head of Yangxu County slapped him with a shadowless palm!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid of Yangxu County Lord quickly stepped forward to protect the Lord!
How could the maid of the Lord of Qili County make them get what they wanted? She rolled up her arms and sleeves and rushed forward!
Diners in the lobby, "."
County - Lord?
Salty - pig?
Did I hear wrongly?
Am I dreaming?
