Her outstanding appearance, calm demeanor, and even her determination to put life and death at risk moved the people of Beining City. Her insistence on climbing the tower twice a day for inspection even further strengthened their morale. Direct factors for improvement.
Several emperors in the space looked at his operation. After being stunned for a while, they finally realized it.
"Are you planning to stay here forever?"
Liu Che asked them: "What's wrong with staying here?"
Li Shimin: "Ah... you don't want the throne?"
Liu Che said: "Yes, how can I not? What I am doing now is fighting for the throne?"
Li Shimin: "But you said you wanted to stay here..."
Liu Che said: "Where can I go if I don't stay here? Return to the capital and stay under the emperor's nose. One day I will be accidentally killed by him and the whole drama will end?"
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Didn't you guess that this marriage is a test set by the emperor? Did you pass it?"
Liu Che was speechless and died: "What then? I returned to Beijing happily and said to him, 'Grandpa, Grandpa! In fact, I'm not dead. The reason I said I was dead before was to lie to you. I also want to answer the question. If you answer correctly, you will make me your grandson! 'Is that so?"
Li Shimin: "..."
Submissive.
Li Yuanda: "So you decided to stay in Beining City?"
"Yes," Liu Che said, "It's so nice here."
"If you want soldiers, you have soldiers. The soldiers in Beining City and the soldiers who give you to me are all mine."
"If you want money, look at my dowry that can be spread for several miles. Who is richer than me?"
"I need status and status - I want to be a grandson in the capital, and when I stay here, others will be my grandson. This is a beautiful little life... Would you go back if it were you?"
Li Yuanda: "..."
Submissive.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Then what will you do next? Just stay here? What if the emperor dies one day and you can't go back?"
Liu Che's tone was gentle: "Of course I want to stay here!"
After thinking for a while, I stole another famous saying from Xiao Huo: "Well, the Huns are not destroyed, so why go back home? I won't go back until Rongdi is wiped out. Wait until Rongdi is wiped out...laughing to death , I say I am the emperor, who agrees and who opposes?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
Submissive.
Finally, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Why do you think you can stay here peacefully? Are you really not afraid that the imperial uncles in the capital will trip you up?"
"First Emperor, please don't talk nonsense. Our family has always been respectful to brothers and sisters, and we are close and beautiful. How could we do such a thing as a stumbling block behind our backs? I can't even think of such a terrible idea!"
Liu Che covered his heart with a look of lingering fear, then unfolded the letter and began to write letters to several imperial uncles: "How is Uncle × doing lately? My niece wishes to ask about his health and well-being."
"Everything is fine for my niece in Beining City. It's just that there are too many livestock in the army and there is a shortage of veterinarians. Can you arrange some manpower to send them to my niece? My niece is really desperate and can't just watch our country's war horses. I am dying of illness, but there is no one to take care of me. If I don’t come to you for such a big thing, who can I come to?”
After writing this, I started to write another one: "How is Uncle × doing lately? My niece respectfully asks about Uncle's health and well-being."
"Everything is fine for my niece in Beining City. It's just that the severe cold is approaching, and the soldiers and civilians in the city lack winter clothes. I heard that the imperial aunt's family has some connections in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Could you please help me raise funds? My father died young, and there is no one my niece can rely on. It’s just you!”
Then he opened another one: "How is Uncle × doing lately? My niece respectfully asks about Uncle's health."
While Liu Che was writing, he was educating the guys in the space: "Why do they want to make things difficult for me? I'm obviously just a poor, helpless princess who is marrying for the country!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "If the big thing fails, at least they have gained impression points in front of the emperor by helping me - they have not lost anything!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "If the big thing comes true - laugh to death, in their eyes, this military medal is half as good as theirs. After all, they helped me! And I, a poor and helpless princess, can I still usurp the throne and become the queen?" ?What’s wrong with keeping me as a sacrifice?”
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "So, it's not that I'm using the uncles, but that I'm creating value for their lives. It's their turn to thank me..."
Ying Zheng: "..."
Liu Che: "Why haven't you spoken? I'm the only one talking!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Submissive.
Chapter 92
Just when Liu Che was flourishing in Beining City, the emperor of the capital finally received a letter from his confidant and learned about a series of things that happened in Beiguan.
Da Shanyu is dead.
This was not beyond his expectations.
In fact, the emperor himself played a role in promoting the death of Shanyu.
At that time, five of the elites of our dynasty came out of the desert, looking at every direction and gaining the upper hand. How could the emperor not think about future generations and bury a few chess pieces in Dragon City early?
On the contrary, Princess Ding'an's impassioned and fearless speech made him silent for a long time.
Although he knew that she would definitely not fall into the hands of Rong Di, and although he did not intend to use her for marriage, the emperor felt more or less apologetic toward his granddaughter.
She lost her father at a young age, and was not valued by him when she was young. It was easy to win the favor of her grandfather. Within a few years, she lost her closest brother. In the end, she was kept in the dark and went to the border to get married...
At that time, the emperor could still comfort himself in his heart. He was just going for a walk and would return to the capital. So in exchange for the title of a princess and the glory, what's wrong with it?
However, he never expected that Ding'an would arrange the situation properly before his confidants took out the secret decree, and stabilize the overall situation in the most appropriate way.
The most important thing is that she has never thought that with the death of Shanyu, her mission as a princess will be terminated, and she can return to Beijing...
She chose to stay in Beining City until the situation was completely over. Even her few blood relatives were eagerly looking forward to her return in the capital.
Are all the women with the title "Ding'an" so strong and brave?
The emperor was silent for this, but couldn't help but wet his eyes, and sent someone to deliver a message to the crown prince and Princess Chengning - even if Ding'an couldn't come back for a while, and the great Chanyu died, she didn't need to marry outside the Great Wall. It's good news anyway.
The Crown Princess cried after hearing the news, and Princess Chengning also covered her heart and was speechless for a long time.
Although the two children were told that there was no need to be alarmed and that no accident would happen, how could they feel at ease because people's hearts are full of flesh?
Ying Niang was just fine, she was agile and strong, and she finally said goodbye to her mother and sister properly before setting off, but Chunlang...
The child was afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed, so he didn't even get to see him before leaving!
Now that I know that the two of them are safe and the plan is successful, I can rest assured.
When the news spread to everyone, the kings were more or less relieved, and they were all sincerely happy for their niece.
How should I put it? When Dong Gong was still there, he was good to his brothers.
In particular, the emperor loved Empress Chongyuan and Dong Gong, and never gave the concubine's son the idea of succeeding to the throne. They didn't think they could compete with Dong Gong, the eldest brother, and of course they would not deliberately try to show off to Dong Gong. , in this case, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not very deep, but it is still there.
In the past, she had pleaded in front of the emperor in every possible way, saying that she wanted her daughter to replace Ying Niang, which was probably a lie, but saying that she did not want her niece to go out to get married, was 100% true.
After a few days, Princess Ding'an's letter finally reached the capital.
Not only the emperor, the crown prince, and Princess Chengning were there, but the adult kings were also left behind. It could almost be said that everyone had one.
The emperor opened the letter and read it carefully, and saw that there was no description of flowers and blossoms in the letter. At the beginning, he respectfully asked the emperor about his health and well-being, and then described the events of that day in concise words. From then on, he went north all the way. The last and most important thing to see and hear is the current situation of Beining City and the situation in Dragon City...
The emperor's eyes fell on the end of the letter.
"Before leaving Beijing that day, my grandfather summoned his granddaughter to come over and asked her if she hated you. She said, no, she didn't. What she said was true."
"Because your granddaughter knows that you won't really send your granddaughter away for marriage. Even if you do send your granddaughter away, you must have other plans, which require the cooperation of your granddaughter and the princess."
"My granddaughter still remembers that when I was young, my father held me on his knee, pointed me towards the marching route to the elite division, and told me with high spirits, my child, your grandfather is the most amazing person in the world. Man, he did what the previous emperors failed to do, he personally opened up the prosperous age of the dynasty!"
"My granddaughter was still young at that time and could not clearly understand the unfinished meaning of her father's words. However, the look on her father's face at that time was always engraved in her heart. When she grew up, she understood Even though I can't achieve my grandfather's achievements, I still yearn for it!"
"The Rong Di people are afraid of power but not moral. In the past, King Wang drove them out of the desert, causing them to flee north like a bereaved dog. They begged me for mercy several times. How respectful were they at that time? And again? In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of banditry, killing our border residents and robbing our property. My grandfather issued an edict in the past that China and the barbarians are not at odds with each other. That’s why!”
"My granddaughter left the fortress this time. After leaving Beijing, she went all the way north to observe the people's sentiments and was deeply touched. Especially in Beining City, the people were plundered by the Rong and Di for many years. Ten houses were empty, and the hardship of life made the viewers cry. As the granddaughter of the emperor, I should do something for them, I must do something for them."
"The marriage of the princess is for the stability of the country. When I return to the capital, the capital will just have one more princess. What will be the gain? But if I stay in Beining City, I can let the people of Beiguan know that the capital has not forgotten them, and neither has the emperor." Wouldn't it be better to forget them than to have one more princess in the capital?"
"I would like to apologize to you for being an unfilial daughter. Before Beiguan is peaceful, my granddaughter will probably not return to Beijing. Please take care of yourself, grandpa, until the success is achieved. My granddaughter cannot go back, so I can only ask my mother and sister to apologize to you on my behalf." It’s filial piety!”
"Your unfilial daughter, Ying Niang, pays you my respects again!"
The emperor read the pages in silence, his eyes suddenly blurred, his fingers loosened, and the pages of letter fell lightly to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the emperor waved his hand to stop him. Then he left the table and stood up, carefully picking it up.
"Ying Niang..."
The emperor lost his voice and said: "God has treated me so poorly, why did he ask you to be entrusted with the birth of a daughter?"
Everyone on the left and right changed their colors when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to say anything, and lowered their heads in silence.
The emperor had no time to pay attention to them. He held the pieces of letter paper and sat alone on the table crying.
No matter how unexpected it was, the person who knew him and understood him the most in the world was actually this granddaughter whom he rarely met!
It's a pity, why let her be entrusted with the birth of a daughter?
The emperor sighed in despair.
…
At the same time, the kings also received a letter from Princess Ding'an.
Open it up and see, oh, I need help.
Should I help?
Emotionally speaking, they tend to help, but if this happens, will there be something in Dad's heart?
After looking for Chang Shi and his staff to discuss it, they all got a definite answer: "Help!"
Changshi got straight to the point: "In terms of personal relationships, the princess is the prince's niece. I feel guilty for not being able to keep the princess in the capital and forcing her to go out to get married. Now it is not difficult for the princess to write a letter for help." , If the prince refuses to lend a helping hand, wouldn’t he make everyone in the world feel cold?”
"From a public perspective, the princess's marriage is out of righteousness. Now she is asking for help from the prince, and it is also for the sake of the country. If the prince ignores it, he will lose the support of the people. The emperor thinks you are not worthy of such a big responsibility..."
