"Brother Quan!"
Seeing Sheng Changquan frowning, Xiao Tao hesitated, seemingly hesitant.
She thought for a while, and then explained in a low voice: "Actually, there is nothing between the girl and the young father-in-law."
She, Sheng Minglan, and Sheng Changquan almost all grew up together, so there is a tacit understanding between the three of them.
Seeing that Sheng Changquan already knew what Minglan was thinking, Xiaotao thought for a while and explained to Minglan acquiescingly: "Actually, the girl herself understands it!"
Thinking about what Minglan usually said to her, Xiaotao comforted Sheng Changquan and said, "The girl has already said that she is just grateful for the kindness that the young master has been to her over the years, so she reciprocates the courtesy and gives him something!"
"After all, the young father-in-law has also reached a critical moment, so she can give her a gift, which is what a sister should do!"
"Quan Zuo is a wish!"
Looking at Sheng Changquan's gaze, Xiao Tao became more and more fluent as she spoke. It seemed that she felt that what she said was right: "Well, that's it."
"Brother Quan, please relax. This is what the girl tells me on weekdays."
After listening, Sheng Changquan's expression was still solemn, but he did not take what Minglan said as true like Xiao Tao did.
Xiao Tao has a somewhat straightforward temperament, and is willing to trust the people she wants to believe with all her heart. And right now, Minglan is one of the people who can match Xiao Tao's belief...
No, it's the only one!
Therefore, Xiao Tao really believed that Minglan thought this way, but Sheng Changquan was different. He knew that once Minglan was tempted, the future events would be out of her control!
Of course, with Wei Xiaoniang's teachings in front of her and Minglan herself being extremely intelligent, she would definitely not do anything outrageous. However, Sheng Changquan was worried that if Minglan was really sincere and chose to believe Qi If Heng, then it will be difficult for her to take this path!
Because of Minglan, Sheng Changquan had secretly inquired about many things about the Duke of Qi's government over the years.
Among the information collected by Sheng Changquan, it is obvious that the person who is now in charge of the Duke of Qi's mansion is Qi Heng's biological mother, Princess Pingning.
But Princess Pingning is not simple. Her biological father Anguohou did not contribute to the founding of the country. He only saved the life of the former crown prince during the Huizong Dynasty, who is now your majesty. Therefore, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he felt the kindness of Anguohou and gave him the gift. He holds the position of earl - An Guobo.
However, the father of Princess Pingning also had a rough life. Although he got the position of An Guobo, he always felt that it was not a hereditary title and felt inferior. It seemed that the lords were laughing at him. So, he not only After that, I became more diligent in everything I did, including teaching my children, instilling this kind of thinking in their minds.
Although the advantage of this is that all of his descendants are outstanding and none of them is a dandy, the disadvantage is that they are too outstanding.
Therefore, when the news of Huizong's defeat was reported back to the court, An Guobo was ordered to do so in the face of danger. With the emperor's trust, he took his three outstanding sons and personally led 100,000 horses northward, hoping to use these soldiers and horses to stop Liang. country’s counterattack.
Xu Shi Huizong's defeat made the Liang people look down on our dynasty. Those arrogant barbarians actually invaded Yanzhou in one fell swoop and plundered Yanzhou's resources, including food, gold, silver, jewelry, and even the population. Grab, grab everything!
And because Liang Kingdom belongs to nomadic tribes, most of the troops in Great Liang are cavalry. Of course, only a few of them are elites, and the rest are just ordinary tribesmen. However, because the people of Liang Kingdom live in a difficult environment, they Each of his soldiers is slightly stronger than the troops of this dynasty.
At the very least, it must be stronger than the soldiers of this dynasty at that time.
At that time, An Guobo led his family, sons, and soldiers to face the victorious Liang soldiers and horses head-on. The two met and killed wantonly, and the result was achieved in just a day and a half.
Yes, that battle was the only victory this dynasty had since the end of Huizong!
The Liang Kingdom originally had 80,000 men and horses, but after Huizong's battle with 300,000 men and horses, although he defeated Huizong, he suffered a loss of soldiers and generals, and the number became more than 40,000, including the wounded soldiers. However, after The supplements from the rear of Liang Kingdom and the surrendered soldiers of Huizong, combined, barely reached one hundred thousand.
So one hundred thousand Liang soldiers fought against one hundred thousand soldiers and horses of our dynasty. In the end, our dynasty won miserably and kept the soldiers and horses of Liang state away from Yumen County!
That battle was called the "Battle of Yumen" by later generations. The final result was that only more than 20,000 of Liang's 100,000 troops escaped in the end, and the rest were buried in Yumen County. However, the troops of this dynasty also There were only about 3,000 wounded left, and four of them, Uncle An Guo and his son, died on the battlefield, leaving no trace behind them!
Therefore, after the "Battle of Yumen", the Liang Kingdom was unable to fight again, so they had to defend Mahe County in Yanzhou to defend themselves against the dynasty. However, the dynasty was also severely weakened, so it had to rely on Yumen County to establish Yumen Pass and rebuild it. Defended the invasion of Liang Kingdom.
However, after all, Yumen Pass is a newly built border pass, and its foundation is far inferior to the previous Secret Gate Pass. Therefore, over the years, every time in winter when the Liang Kingdom was short of food, the Liang Kingdom would go south to invade the dynasty, causing great losses to the court!
Getting back to the topic, after the "Battle of Yumen", the current Holy Emperor was grateful for his achievements and personally issued an order to move the throne of An Guobo to the Wushen Temple and enjoy the national sacrifice.
Wushen Pavilion is another institution set up by the imperial court equivalent to Mingchen Pavilion. It is an honor designed by Taizu for his old brothers before his death.
Compared with the new additions to the Mingchen Pavilion, apart from the founding lords of the Taizu period, An Guohou was the first lord to enter the Wushen Temple in later generations!
Having said that, today's emperor even promoted the position of An Guobo to a marquis, and passed it on for three generations, and then the number decreased gradually. However, because An Guobo's direct lineage was wiped out, only Princess Pingning, the legitimate daughter, was left. , therefore, according to the conventions of secular etiquette, the position of Marquis Anguo will be ascended by members of the bloodline clan of the Marquis Anguo first.
However, the emperor at that time took pity on Princess Pingning because both her father and brother died at a young age, so he gave her the title of "Princess Pingning" and brought her into the palace and raised her by the Queen's side. Princess Ning is also extremely noble, not weaker than the royal princess, and even more noble than the ordinary princesses who are not favored.
After all, Princess Pingning was raised by the Queen, and the Queen had no legitimate son, so the two of them had the same affection as mother and daughter and regarded her as family.
Therefore, how can this not make Sheng Changquan worry about Minglan's choice?
Not to mention whether Qi Heng can resist his mother's will, if Minglan really enters the Duke of Qi's mansion, can she cope with the temperament of Princess Pingning?
Sheng Changquan is deeply worried about this.
