"Official..."
"Well..." Li Yong looked at the woman in front of him and scratched his head.
When a strange woman meets her for the first time, she directly calls her an official. How to break this?
The key is that someone has already gone to the wedding hall for him to get married, but he has not completed the final step of the bridal chamber.
This has to be traced back to Li Yong's current identity. Now he wears a mask and pretends to be the little prince of Tubo. In fact, a few days ago he also pretended to be the eldest prince of Tibet.
The reason is actually very simple, because the King of Tubo died in his hands, and then he pretended to be the eldest prince, while the little prince was coerced and sent to the Zhe family for resettlement.
In other words, in fact, the two Tibetans who stayed and surrendered to Fuzhou were both under the control of Li Yong, and it was a play directed by him.
Then the Zhe family paid the price of a daughter's reputation, but secretly put the little prince under house arrest, and then used the daughter's name as the princess to control the Tubo soldiers - of course, in fact they were still under the control of Li Yong, and they were not very Dare to confront Li Yong head-on.
After all, since he can do such a thing, who knows if he has any back-up plans.
Not to mention, compared to the Han people, the status of women in these foreign tribes is much higher. At least for most ordinary tribe members, the orders of the princess are equal to those of the prince.
Things went smoothly after that, but what Li Yong didn't expect was that Zhejia would actually make a request in the end, asking him to "take" their daughter.
It's very simple, just kill the little prince, let the eldest prince "die", and then let Li Yong pretend to be the little prince.
Originally, the daughter of the Zhe family was married to the young prince of Tubo through a marriage granted by the emperor. However, the two parties were only a couple in name, and it was impossible for the daughter of the Zhe family to commit herself to a prisoner or puppet.
Now, in this way, the daughter of the Zhe family does not have to be a widow. After the eldest prince is gone, the younger prince will directly take over the throne. She can also directly become the mistress of the Fan soldiers, which is naturally the best result for the Zhe family.
As long as they can maintain this relationship, even if they can't support the bandit's self-respect, it will still not affect the Zhe family's status in Fuzhou and the Western Army.
In fact, Li Yong felt that there was no need to go to such trouble. After all, most Hu people had the tradition of "inheriting" women - maybe it was also because of this that Tang Taizong, who accepted his brother's woman, was always considered to have Hu blood?
Of course, this is actually true, but both Li Yuan and Li Shimin are actually mixed blood, which means they also have Han ancestry.
There is no need to keep emphasizing the blood of the Hu people. After all, from the origin of Chinese civilization, no one knows how much blood has been mixed in the descendants. The so-called pure blood may have long ceased to exist.
And for Li Yong, this may be more exciting. After all, Wei Wu's legacy...
But since the Zhe family insists on doing this, Li Yong doesn't mind cooperating with them in this drama given their previous efforts to help.
In fact, Zhejia may have seen some of Li Yong's thoughts at this time, and Li Yong also knew that at this time, he might not be able to hide his thoughts.
But both sides maintain a tacit understanding. In the northwest, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they have to support each other.
The Zhe family may be loyal to the Song Dynasty, but they may not be set in stone. If Li Yong really only wants to be the northwest king here, maybe they will be happy to see it happen.
On the other hand, Zhao Heng still needs Zhejia to speak for him.
Otherwise, Zhao Heng is not a fool. It is impossible for him to believe everything he said in the Imperial City Secret Report.
But with the help of Zhejia's endorsement, he didn't know the specific situation in the northwest, and he never expected that Li Yong would use this method to fish in troubled waters.
In this way, the imperial court's supervision of the northwest will be relaxed - of course, the premise is that they have to take good care of the imperial envoy sent and not let him talk nonsense; on the other hand, it will also help protect Zhao Pan'er and others who stay in the capital. Human thoughtfulness.
Li Yong is not a hypocritical person. The matter has come to an end. The so-called peace of mind has come, so he wants the benefits and the people. That night, he picked this flower of Fuzhou and gave it to her.
Went to the bridal chamber.
The daughter of the Zhe family, whose name was Lijun, was twenty-eight years old. She was the younger sister of Zhe Weichang. She was a martial artist since she was a child, so she also developed the figure of a Gong Yaoji.
Probably because she had no protection from the sun in the northwest, her skin is dark and her skin quality is not very good. However, as a mixed race, she still has an advantage. Her facial features are very delicate, and her overall temperament has a very wild beauty. .
In comparison, Yu Min is still a little too conventional, more like a lady.
After one night, Zhelijun was really convinced by him.
"My lord, I am waiting for you here..."
Li Yong came here mainly to handle this matter. After that, it would be difficult for him to stay here and he would have to continue to deal with the remnants of Dangxiang and the Uighurs.
As the saying goes, if you kill a tiger, there will be a backlash. Li Yong knows this truth very well.
But similarly, in the final analysis, he has no real team of his own in this place. Now he only uses the identity of others to drive these subordinates, so he can only use checks and balances or even integration methods to bring them together.
At least managing the northwest area well will be very beneficial to subsequent plans. The first is the following Battle of Chanzhou, which determines the key to the Liao and Song Dynasties signing the Chanyuan Alliance. If multiple forces can be dragged into the water together, it will interfere with the war between Song and Liao. The impact of this would be far-reaching, especially if it breaks the stability of the Liao Kingdom's rear.
In fact, after Li Yong went through this incident, he thought of a more convenient and faster "play method" for him, so he just tried it here first.
…
Unconsciously, time came to the sixth year of Xianping again, and the situation in the world also changed greatly.
First of all, of course, it was the northwest area, which gradually formed a situation where the Tibetan army was dominated by one family. Last year, the "little prince" of Tubo allied with various ethnic groups and tribes and established the status of "alliance leader". After that, he began to trade with the Song Dynasty.
Of course, Li Yong would not block the trade route between the Song Dynasty and the Western Regions like Xixia did. Instead, as a checkpoint on the road, he could allow people to travel together for a certain fee.
However, the attention of the Liao Kingdom was attracted. At the same time, the country was controlling the flooding of the Yellow River, arranging for the victims along the coast, and implementing various policies. When there was no unrest in the northwest, Li Yong and the Zhe family were still in cahoots. Under such circumstances, Song Ting even sent two imperial envoys to no avail, and in the end he could only accept the status quo here.
Do you want to say that the Zhe family is loyal to the Song Dynasty?
This may be viewed from two aspects. On the one hand, they are indeed Song officials, and they are indeed guarding the border for the Song Dynasty. Several generations have been spent here.
On the other hand, they are also doing it for the Han people, and even more so for themselves.
To put it bluntly, the Zhe family was the local emperor in Fuzhou, and the so-called pattern that the Song Dynasty had always wanted to avoid was actually beyond their control when it came to the border army.
But now with the presence of the Tibetan soldiers like Li Yong, the status of the Zhe family as one of the parties to the marriage has not declined but has risen. The two parties are now bound to a situation where one will prosper and the other will suffer.
