271 Infighting in the Western Regions(1/2)
The army has been following each other out of the imperial city. Bu Zhen was surprised at first: Princess Rong Guo’s marriage can still take out the guards?! Then why can’t the war in the west and east be resolved?
Then he was overjoyed.
He really had a bet right, this princess is the treasure of Rongguo!
Ning Meng originally wanted to stay in Rongguo, but after all, looking at Emperor Rong's body, it seemed that she could not do it anymore, but Bu Zhen left Rongguo with her people, and she was afraid that her son's life would be threatened, so she left together.
After seeing the army, her face gradually twisted: What a Ning Jiu, she is the only princess in Rongguo with her own army, and she even follows her marriage!
No matter how precious the dowry or how decent the marriage is, it is not as real as this. This means that Rongguo is behind her. No matter what she does, Rongguo is behind her. What is it that a woman wants to do in this life? Isn’t it just that someone comes forward to make decisions for her in times of difficulty?
Come on one by one. Ning Jiu is at least marrying to the Western Regions and there will be a chance in the future. On Ning Xi's side, she has to make a backup plan. If she dares to tie her son, she should bear the consequences.
The Empress Dowager was frightened last night and did not wake up one day today. Qin Mo went to visit her sick bed and just approached.
The queen mother sat up halfway, grabbed Qin Mo's hand, and said fiercely: "Mo'er, go and kill Ning Jiu for the Ai family. It must be that girl who wants to take revenge on the Ai family. The Ai family wants to catch her back and turn her into a human pig... and chop off her hands and feet..."
Qin Mo looked at the mad Queen Mo, and his heart felt exhausted and helpless.
"Did you hear what the Ai family said? Or do you still have feelings for that girl? It's true that I am a good Moer from the Ai family. I don't forget to protect her at this time..."
Her long armor sank deeply into Qin Mo's wrists and backs, and bleeding beads and scratches immediately emerged from it. Qin Mo endured the pain and comforted her softly: "Auntie, Mo'er knows, Mo'er knows, Mo'er will not let her go...Mo'er must catch her back and apologize to you..."
After a while of kind words, she comforted Qin Mo's hand, and as soon as she left the Palace of Heart, she met the third princess who was walking under the shade of the tree. The third princess had sharp eyes and saw scratches on his hand, and she felt a little heartbroken. She quickly stepped forward and held Qin Mo's hand: "Does it hurt sir?"
This girl is very quick! Qin Mo Qiaojin pulled her hand back and glanced at him sideways: "It's not a problem." His handsome eyes and eyebrows were clenching, which was very moving.
The third princess looked at her empty hands and sneered a little: "I heard that Lord Qin stayed in the fireworks place last night?"
Qin Mo looked at her in surprise and said coldly: "The Third Prince is so seldom in charge. Who are you? You need to care about where I live? Don't say that you haven't married yet, even if you marry, you have no right to care about where I live!" After that, he left with great strides.
The third princess looked at the man's back with tears in her eyes and bit her silver teeth: She wasn't trying to say this, she just cared about him, she didn't mean that!
only--
perhaps--
She couldn't help asking.
...
Later, when the empress dowager was seriously ill and failed to attend. During Chu Ci's departure from the palace, Song Wenkai, the minister of the Qin Group, saw that Chu Ci was more and more handsome, and he began to rely on Chu Ci with his thick-skinned ability.
Song Wenkai was also a good official with integrity and integrity before. Later, in the corrupt bureaucracy of the imperial city, his own style was completely unworkable, so he reflected carefully and took the flattery style to the extreme.
Not only did he send his daughter into the palace, but he also secretly contacted other colleagues to support Chu Ci to take back his power.
At this time, Song Wenkai was often ridiculed and ridiculed by other colleagues for changing his mind, but Song Wenkai didn't care at all. He was leveraging his own abilities, so why should these people look down on him?
Humph, everyone is the same. When the palace changed, who was more noble than who was. Now he laughed at him, it would be disgusting!
Song Ruqing was sent to the palace by his father, so she could only serve the empress dowager. Therefore, Song Ruqing was very unwilling to accept that her father wanted to not offend both sides, which made her suffer.
From the last time she saw that Chu Ci had a big idea and didn't like the queen mother. Now she came to the palace to serve the queen mother. Chu Ci would like her in the future before he saw the ghost.
Her father did this, and it seemed to be her girlish character on the surface, but secretly it would make people laugh at her thinking of clinging to the dragon and being attached to the phoenix.
Song Ruqing wanted to serve Chu Ci's biological mother, Concubine Wang, but she had never contacted Concubine Wang. Besides, Concubine Wang, to put it nicely, he was a Concubine, but wasn't the royal concubine yet... In addition, because of the marriage to Qin Mo before, would the third princess be willing to see her?
Song Ruqing was very worried and wandered around the scope of his activities.
...
It took two months to reach the border of Rongguo.
At this time, news came from the imperial city of Shacheng in the Western Regions that the third prince and the fifth prince rebelled and killed Khan.
Bu Zhen immediately rushed back to the Western Regions with his army, but it was too late. The ministers in the court who supported the prince's succession were killed one after another by the third prince, and then the sick prince vomited blood and died of death.
Bu Zhen thought that Khan and the prince had avenged revenge, and led the troops and the armies of several other tribes to concentrate on dealing with the army of the third prince and the fifth prince.
Ning Mengxiang followed, Bu Zhen asked him to stay and returned to the Western Regions with the marriage team.
Ning Meng obeyed unconditionally.
The border of Rong Kingdom was less than the strongest army in the Western Regions, and it was suddenly much easier.
Sun Bingnan has never dared to act rashly in the face of the legendary army. Now that the troops suddenly withdrew, he has no worries. He sent his army to attack Gaochang, which is closest to, and has occupied five cities one after another.
Gaochang sent an envoy to Rongguo again to ask the princess for marriage and began to pay tribute to Rongguo. Chu Ci agreed first, but ordered Gaochang Khan to take the five cities that Rongguo had already captured as betrothal gifts.
Gaochang Khan was furious and naturally refused.
The marriage was not reached, and Chu Ci asked Sun Bingnan to take back control of the five cities and set up a protective palace to let the outside world know that these five cities will be under the jurisdiction of Rong Kingdom in the future.
Sun Bingnan's army was very easy to use, so he did not follow the minister's advice and let him surrender to the court or do other actions.
But these are all later stories.
...
Speaking of the Princess Dingcheng and her gang, they changed from sedan chair to camels. The sound of camel bells, walking in the yellow sand all over the sky, making people feel calm.
A stone tablet erected for the Han princess jumped into the eyes of Dingcheng.
It is said that a princess in the previous dynasty also married far away from the Western Regions. In just six years, she served two generations of father and son, and finally died.
The calm just now was taken away by the stone tablet, leaving behind a shock and anxiety in my heart.
The wind and rain erode the stone tablets, and the camels splashed with flying sand, which gave a shocking beauty in the evening sun.
After seeing such a scenery for half a month, the group arrived at the residence of the Seventh Prince in the Western Regions Imperial City, Shacheng.
After entering the city, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard everywhere, and there is no smoke of gunpowder among the princes in the city fighting for fame and fortune.
Outside the mansion is a circle of high walls. When you look inside, you will see tall white, semicircular castle tips inside.
The people inside probably didn't expect them to come back so soon, so they did not build a separate mansion. As an unpopular prince, the Seventh Prince had a poor family property, not to mention that he brought back two princesses from Rong Kingdom, and his already weak family resources were even more at ease.
She was taken to a separate castle where she met Wenzhu and Xiao Shi whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"So you are really here, and I'm worth it."
Wen Zhu knelt in front of Dingcheng, kowtowed several times, and cried while kowtowing: "I thought I would never see you again..." Thinking of the time when I saw the princess, she looked a little unconscious, and now she was much better, and her worries fell.
Several people asked about their respective situations. Speaking of which, why Wen Zhu and Xiao Shi were here, they still had nothing to do with Mo Yinghuang.
Although Mo Yinghuang was the eldest prince of Mobei, his power was indeed very clean. After asking for the marriage to the princess, he not only did not receive substantial help from Rongguo, but also offended the neighboring country Wanguo, and the people in the court put pressure on him.
He thought that this trip was really not worth it, so he never entered the northern part of the desert.
In fact, Rong Guo was too busy to take care of himself, so he naturally would not support Mobei. Mo Yinghuang thought for a while and sent someone to inquire about the news. He knew that Wan Guo and Gaochang would not withdraw their troops, so he had the idea of giving up marrying the princess. In addition, the people below reported that they had been intercepted by someone, which was unknown, and Mo Yinghuang did not want to keep this person.
At this time, Bu Zhen passed by and saw the mission and said that he was going to the imperial city and was willing to pay a large price to marry the princess. Mo Yinghuang's eyes lit up and asked about Bu Zhen's betrothal gift. The two hit it off and reached an agreement. So Bu Zhen brought Rongguo's marriage delegation back to his mansion.
Mo Yinghuang got rid of this hot potato and returned to Mobei in a refreshing mood.
In their opinion, the princess of Rongguo is no different from goods. They can be exchanged. It depends only on whether it is worth it or not, whether both parties are willing to do so.
It was obvious that Bu Zhen felt that the princess of Rong Kingdom was worthy of his things, but when he arrived at the imperial city, he realized that the princess in the mansion was not the rumored Princess Dingcheng.
So he asked for a marriage again.
Increase chips for yourself.
Although Bu Zhen had a great record, in the eyes of the old Khan, he was a bastard born to a female slave. He was unable to get on top, so he naturally didn't want to like him.
So this time, my family's wealth was almost ruined.
Wenzhu called out worriedly: "Princess, this seventh prince's mansion is not as simple as you see outside. We came earlier to know what's going on here."
The Tenth Princess interrupted, "The Seventh Prince not only has a concubine but also a lot of concubines and children, but the people here do not speak the same language as us and have different customs. How can we live in the future?"
Dingcheng smiled: "Which man is not like this? Could it be that he still has expectations when he gets married?" He remembered the jokes he had in the Qinxue Hall before, and his face turned slightly red. "It is said that the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying, but in fact, the emperor's daughter is not easy to marry. How many can marry a good husband? Besides, even the legitimate princess can tolerate it, can we be more spoiled than her?"
The Eleventh Princess blushed and looked at the Ninth Princess with admiration, her eyes filled with soft water waves.
"Princess!" Wenzhu twisted her, "The woman here is not a lady from Rongguo who is invincible, here..." After thinking about it, she blurted out, "Brutal!"
The Ninth Princess laughed and she held the hands of the two: "Okay, I will be careful. All three of us should be careful."
That night, a fire broke out in the convenient place where they lived, and the group escaped from the sea of fire in a panic, covered in sweat.
The few people were filled with regret when they watched their dowry and other items being swallowed by the fire.
The Ninth Princess was so heartbroken that she was so heartbroken.
All the people in the Seventh Prince's mansion came to put out the fire.
As the fire surged into the sky, a woman swayed from the shadows and looked at the fire. She sighed to the two princesses with regret: "There are not many such good castles in the palace, and you will destroy one as soon as you come. A bad woman!"
Dingcheng lowered his head and saw the lantern in her hand. There was no candlelight inside the lantern.
He clearly told her that the fire she set tonight was the one she set.
Such arrogance also surprised the few people. In Rong Palace, they always tried every means to blame or get rid of themselves before they harmed others. This was the first time they saw such a bold and arrogant person.
Before he could finish his thoughts, there were shouts outside soaring into the sky. The soldiers rushed into the seventh prince's mansion, chopped them up when they saw them, killing many people.
It turned out that a third prince's army brought people in to attack Bu Zhen's rear.
Screams, wails, and the sounds of weapons mixed together.
Almost all of Bu Zhen's troops followed him, so there were a bunch of women and children in the mansion. When encountering such a thing, no matter how cruel it was, he only knew that he would yell for no reason.
To be continued...
