Returning to Tongque Terrace, Tiao You waited for a long time. When they met, he held his hands and said, "Tuoba Shi Yijian agrees to form an alliance, but a marriage is required."
"This is a good thing. It would be great to have another Tuoba girl in the harem."
Tuoba Shi Yijian is about thirty-four or five years old, and his daughter is fifteen or sixty-seven years old, which is the prime of life.
In-laws are the oldest form of alliance.
"Your Highness... you don't know. Tuoba Shi Yijian heard that... there is a stunning woman in Yecheng, and I would like to accept her as my concubine."
"A stunning woman?" Li Yue didn't even know there was such a person.
Tuoba Shi Yijian had long been known as a womanizer. All the men, women and children of the Murong family were as beautiful as flowers. He proposed to Murong Huang several times and was rejected but still enjoyed it.
Tiao You glanced at Cui Hong.
"Yue Ji..." Cui Hong coughed twice, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
Li Yue frowned, "Shi Yijian, an old cow eating young grass, came to my house?"
I was originally going to eat the young grass from Shi Yijian's family, but I didn't expect that this guy would rake it. The psychological gap was a bit big and it was hard to accept it for a while.
Tiao You said anxiously: "Your Highness, Shi Yijian comes from a well-known family and is in his prime. A mere woman can get the two families to marry together and fight against the Murong family. Why not?"
Li Yue stared at him, his eyes full of anger, "Would you like to trade with your daughter?"
Unexpectedly, Tiao You waved his sleeve and said, "If Shi Yijian likes my daughter, I will offer her to you!"
Li Yue was speechless by him. Although he might be used by others, it showed his loyalty.
Everyone is contributing to the rise of Liang Kingdom at all costs, why is Yue Ji an exception?
With her intelligence, she would definitely be able to control Shi Yi Jianmi's evil deeds when she was married to Dai State, and it would be a matter of course for her to contain the affairs of Yan State.
But, how could Li Yue push Yue Ji into the fire pit?
How miserable will be the fate of a weak woman who marries alone into the grassland?
Like the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people have the tradition of brother succeeding to brother and father to son succeeding after death.
Cai Wenji is a lesson learned from the past.
Tiao You said: "Ms. Yue Ji has reached the age of marriage."
"No, how could Tuoba Shi Yijian know Yue Ji's name?" Li Yue reacted.
Yue Ji has always kept a low profile. After coming to Yecheng, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders.
Either there are a lot of elaborate works in Yecheng, or someone deliberately wants to get Yue Ji away.
Yue Ji manages the women's camp and the medical camp, and also has considerable power in the harem.
Li Yue himself said at the beginning that Yue Ji can do whatever she wants without asking, which must have aroused some people's fear...
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Other forces are fighting to the death. How can there be peace on our side?
Infighting is inevitable.
Women are sometimes more competitive than men.
Li Yue turned his eyes to Cui Hong. He was so smart, and his sister Cui Yansi was not an ordinary person either.
Thinking more deeply, the Cui family is not vegetarian, they also have their own political demands.
Cui Hong touched his nose and said, "Ye City, the center of the world, must have a lot of fine work."
Tiao You said: "Ms. Yueji saves lives, heals the wounded, and provides care for the disabled and orphans. She has a great reputation among the people. It is known from careful research that this is a common thing."
It's okay if he doesn't explain it. Once he explains it, Li Yue is even more sure that this matter is not simple.
There is some kind of force driving it secretly.
"We will discuss this matter later. Shi Yijian is capricious and cannot be trusted. If he marries a daughter of the Murong family, how can he be constrained by a woman? If he is willing to form an alliance, everyone will be happy. If he is not willing, there is no need to force it." Li Yue did not want to be involved in this matter. He kept getting entangled and found an excuse to excuse himself.
Seeing that Li Yue's expression was not good, the two of them surrendered and retreated.
Li Yue returned to the harem. Cui Yansi saw Li Yue and took the girls to salute, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
"There is no need for politeness at home."
Cui Yansi is almost a perfect mistress. Her character, temper, speech and behavior are all full of the unique temperament of a woman from aristocratic family, elegant and gentle.
If Yue Ji is an orchid in the mountains, then she is a graceful peony in the flower garden.
Li Yue never expected that the two of them would collide so quickly.
Of course, all this may just be your own speculation.
Maybe it was just the news from Tuoba Shi Yijian's work.
Cui Yansi gently helped Li Yue take off his cloak, with a pair of innocent eyes open and a faint smile on his face, "Your Highness came back a little early today. Is there something important?"
Li Yue smiled and said: "My beloved concubine is also interested in affairs in the DPRK?"
"I can't bear to see His Highness working hard day and night."
"My beloved, you are worrying too much." Li Yue chatted wordlessly.
To be fair, I can feel her admiration for him, but it seems to be mixed with other things.
Just as he said this, the female officer shouted from outside: "Your Highness, Colonel Zhang has something important to do."
The things reported by Zhang Shengye are usually not trivial.
Before Li Yue could speak, Cui Yansi had already put the cloak back on Li Yue, "State affairs are important, and your highness must take care of yourself."
Li Yue nodded and went out.
Zhang Shengye waited for a long time and said, "Yue Ji knows about the marriage and asks to see Your Highness."
"How did she know?"
This kind of military and national affairs has always been a secret.
"Tiao Lanzhi, the daughter of Tiao Sikong... went to see Mrs. Yue Ji this afternoon." A trace of hatred flashed across Zhang Shengye's eyes, which was noticed by Li Yue.
People are separated from each other, and everyone has their own ideas.
"I understand, please step back." Li Yue waved his hand. There are some things that are difficult to say to outsiders.
"Wei." Zhang Shengye backed away.
Li Yue went to see Yue Ji.
As soon as they met, they saw Yue Ji’s smiling face and said, “Yue Ji is willing to get married!”
"Did Tiao You force you?" Li Yue's face darkened.
Yue Ji shook her head, "My brother needs to marry the Tuoba family, how can Yue Ji stay out of the matter? Going to Daiguo will definitely bring about reconciliation between the two families and jointly control the Murong family."
"Lie." Li Yue looked into her eyes, trying to find any flaw.
"Yue Ji did not lie. Yue Ji sincerely wanted to help her brother succeed. Only my brother can calm down the war in the world and save thousands of people from suffering."
The crescent-like eyes have always been as pure as water, and they are so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.
But the more obedient Li Yue was, the more he knew he couldn't do this.
"The world's major events do not involve women and children. As a brother, I haven't reduced myself to the point of exchanging someone else's help for you. The Liang Dynasty has been at odds with each other for generations, and I, Li Yue, will not betray my relatives. Don't mention this matter again!" Li Yue said firmly! .
So what if I send Yue Ji there?
Will Tuoba Shi Yijian be at his mercy?
We underestimate their ambitions.
"Brother..." Yue Ji suddenly burst into tears and could no longer pretend.
Li Yue consoled him: "This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, yet you insist on jumping in like a fool. Do you think you can't trust your brother so much?"
Yue Ji burst into tears and smiled, "Yue Ji just... just wants to do something for my brother."
"It's not your turn to contribute. To run the women's camp and the medical camp well is to do your best. You don't have to think too much about other things, and some things are by no means as simple as they appear."
"This matter has nothing to do with Sikong... I made my own decision."
Even now, she is still defending others.
"Don't worry, I won't be reckless as a brother." Li Yue smiled.
Liang Guo needed a stable environment. The Murong family was eyeing the north and it was impossible to turn against them.
This kind of fight will not be the first time, there will be many in the future.
