This request was so sudden that even Tuoba Qianyu was not mentally prepared and was really shocked. Just now she was joking about this matter, but now Liu Ziqiu really brought it up. Despite her bold and open temperament, this time
Sometimes I couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and my heart felt like a deer was beating wildly.
Although Tuoba Mumi had already heard Tuoba Yuanju talk about this matter, he was still a little surprised when Liu Ziqiu mentioned it to his face. However, he had obviously been thinking about this matter for some time, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed and said: "My little girl is ugly. It is rare that Mr. Liu likes her. She is indeed a blessing for me. It's just that my little girl is young. It's too early to talk about marriage now."
I am afraid that only Liu Ziqiu, who has traveled through time, would agree with his remarks. There are very few Dangxiang girls who are not married at the age of thirteen, and there are many who are mothers. Take the wedding of Qianli Qingtian tomorrow, for example.
, only eleven years old.
In fact, the phenomenon of early marriage does not only occur among Dangxiang people, but also among Han people. Since the Wuhu chaos in China, due to the influence of Hu customs, the rule that women can only marry after their hairpin age has long ceased to exist.
"Father, my daughter is not young anymore!" It was about his own happiness. How could Tuoba Qianyu be patient and defended loudly? The shame he felt just now had long since disappeared.
Tuoba Mumi's face sank, and he yelled: "I'm talking to Mr. Liu, why are you interrupting! You have nothing to do here, get out!"
In all her life, her father has never been so cruel to her. Tuoba Qianyu's nose felt sore, and her eye circles suddenly turned red. She could neither leave nor stay.
"Qianyu, listen to your father and go out first." In front of Tuoba Mumi, Liu Ziqiu hugged Tuoba Qianyu's soft waist very affectionately and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry.
I will convince your father."
His pretentiousness just wanted to send a signal to Tuoba Mumi that your daughter and I have done all kinds of intimate things. It's up to you whether to marry or not. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong partner, Dang Xiang and Ren.
Turkic people have similar customs and don't care what a girl did before getting married, as long as she is loyal to her husband after getting married.
"Dad, my daughter will not marry unless she is my elder brother!" Perhaps encouraged by Liu Ziqiu, Tuoba Qianyu's confidence greatly increased, and she shouted at Tuoba Mumi, then turned around and went out angrily.
Tuoba Mumi said sarcastically: "My goddaughter has no way to teach me, which makes Lord Liu laugh."
"Liu likes girls with straightforward temperaments like Qianyu." Liu Ziqiu chuckled, "Prince Tuoba, Liu has no intention of marrying Qianyu now. Liu can make an engagement first and wait for two years.
Even if it takes three years to hold a wedding, Liu can wait for it!"
"To be honest with Mr. Liu, as early as the beginning of the year, the king of the country, Murong Fuyun, appointed my daughter as Queen of Tuyuhun." Seeing Liu Ziqiu's attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal, Tuoba Mumi finally told the truth, "These two
Oh my god, there is an endless stream of people coming to my door to ask for my hand in marriage. I only have one daughter, so I really can’t make up my mind as to who to marry her to."
The last sentence was Tuoba Mumi's innermost thoughts, otherwise Tuoba Qianyu would not have been dragged to the age of thirteen and still not married.
"It's human nature for a girl from a family to seek help from hundreds of families." Liu Ziqiu didn't take it seriously and said lightly, "Just because of Liu's current status, isn't it better than a leader who has subjugated his country?"
If Liu Ziqiu was still just a brigade commander in the Sui army, Tuoba Mumi would never have been able to endure him talking like this. Even Tuoba Qianyu could safely follow Tuoba Yuanju back because of Liu Ziqiu's change of identity.
Tribe. As the daughter of a tribe leader, she can better understand that marriage is not just about mutual love. If Liu Ziqiu was still just a brigade marshal, she would not joke about "proposing marriage", but directly choose to "elope"
”.
Tuoba Mumi finally couldn't hold it back anymore and sneered: "The leader of the country that has perished is also the leader of the country. Who knows when he will come back and kill him again!"
Liu Ziqiu's heart skipped a beat. A few days ago, Tuoba Yuanju hurriedly left Xianglibu, saying that something big had happened, but he didn't say anything about it. Then the news of Tuoba Yuanju's marriage to Xiangli Qingtian came out. Could it be that
Did Tuoba Mumi already know the news of Yang Guang's death?
If so, everything would be clear. Tuoba Mumi knew that Yang Guang had passed away and quickly recalled Tuoba Yuanju to discuss and quickly held a wedding for them. That was because he was eager to form an alliance with the Li tribe. But on the issue of marrying a daughter
Above, Tuoba Mumi was worried that Murong Fuyun would come back one day, so he hesitated.
In fact, Liu Ziqiu guessed wrong. The person Tuoba Mumi wanted his daughter to marry most was not Murong Fuyun, but Xifeng Yelilan.
The Xifeng Department is the second largest department in the party, and its strength is comparable to that of the Tuoba Department, and it has always been difficult to deal with the Tuoba Department. If the two can get married, they can turn enemies into friends.
The goal of the Eighth Party Department is one step closer.
This time, in the invitation letter sent by Tuoba Muzhimi to the leaders of various ministries, he specifically mentioned that the leaders of each ministry should bring their children to the meeting. How could these leaders not understand what Tuoba Muzhimi meant? Several leaders directly brought them
Gifts came to propose marriage, including finely sealed wild orchids. For Tuoba Mumi, it was like giving him a pillow when he was dozing off.
Xifeng Yelilan is already over forty years old. His wife was newly widowed last year. Although he has more than ten concubines, they are not as young and beautiful as Tuoba Qianyu. Therefore, after guessing that Tuoba Mumi has a married daughter,
After making plans, Xifeng Yelilan did not propose marriage for several of his sons, but came to propose marriage for himself. However, Xifeng Yelilan also agreed that he would make Tuoba Qianyu his official wife when the time came, and he would lead Xifeng.
Fei Ting and Mi Qin supported Tuoba Mumi's great cause of unifying the party.
It was the last condition that attracted Tuoba Mumi. If we add in the marriage of the Quli tribe and the good friends of the Tuoba tribe, Fangdang Erbu, there are seven tribes supporting him.
, no matter how much the remaining Ye Ci Department opposes, it will have no effect.
Tuoba Mumi did know that Yang Guang was dead, so he was even more eager to unify the eight parties. The unified party was not weaker than Xianbei. Even if it became the master of this land, it was not impossible. If according to the original
After a few hundred years, the unified Dangxiang really became the master of this land and established a country called Xixia. This was all the efforts of Dangxiang people like Tuoba Mumi from generation to generation.
result.
Liu Ziqiu was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Can Murong Fuyun come back? I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive. Even if he can come back, with Liu here, he will only have the fate of being a prisoner!
"
The environment in this area is very harsh, especially in the cold winter. Even ordinary herdsmen are in danger in the wild, let alone a bereaved dog like Murong Fuyun? But Tuoba Mumi didn't think so, because he had already seen Murong Kuai
The representative sent by the bank knew that Murong Fuyun was still alive and well.
"Then I'll wait and see. As long as Mr. Liu can catch Murong Fuyun, I will promise you!" Tuoba Mumi is a cunning old man, and he will not let go of any opportunity to attack the enemy and strengthen himself. Murong Fuyun is sure
He will come back, let Liu Ziqiu fight him to the death, he will take the opportunity to unify the eight departments of the party, and then come back to reap the benefits.
"Okay! It's a deal!" Liu Ziqiu agreed, seemingly not taking Murong Fuyun seriously at all.
In fact, what Liu Ziqiu showed was just the appearance. His strategy was to despise the enemy from a strategic point of view and pay attention to the enemy from a tactical point of view.
Although he became the leader of the Xihai tribe and integrated more than 6,000 Sui troops, he had no foundation in this land, not to mention the Xianbei people whose strength was not greatly damaged, even with the Dangxiang, Shiwei and other tribes
In comparison, it is still at a disadvantage.
In this case, what Liu Ziqiu has to do is to boost morale. Strength is not the only factor that determines the outcome of a war. Not only must you take advantage of the right time and place, but you must also be proficient in astronomy and geography. Sometimes morale, fighting spirit and will can influence the situation of the battle.
The weak defeats the strong.
As for tactics, Liu Ziqiu had already regarded Murong Fuyun as his biggest enemy and began to actively prepare for war.
Seeing that his plan was successful, Tuoba Mumi laughed loudly and said, "Let's go, I'll hold a banquet for you, and I'll introduce you to a few friends by the way."
…
The sky in the northwest became dark a little later. It was already the second watch in Luoyang at this time, and Shanglin Xiyuan on the outskirts of the city was shrouded in dark clouds. There is no airtight wall in the world. Although Xiyuan was isolated from the outside world, no one specially informed
The news about Yang Guang's death still reached here.
The first ones who felt strange were a few palace ladies who did menial work. Thousands of people lived in Xiyuan, and a lot of garbage and debris were produced every day. It was the task of these palace ladies to collect the garbage and debris and send it to the gate of the garden.
, and then transported away by the guards outside the garden gate. These maids are the only people in the garden who can have contact with the outside world.
Since the assassination incident, the guards at the garden gate have been very tight, and there are heavy troops stationed outside the garden wall. They have not relaxed at all even after Yang Guangxi's expedition. However, on this day, when several palace maids still collected garbage and debris
When they arrived at the gate of the garden, they found that half of the guards outside the gate were missing. From a distance, they could see heavy troops stationed outside the wall lining up to leave.
Although these palace maids did menial work, they were also carefully selected. In the eyes of the soldiers who guarded the door, they were like gods, and they answered all their questions. It turned out that after Li Yuan took over the military power, he paid more attention to the threat of Yang Xuangan from the direction of Chang'an.
Heavy troops were deployed in the direction of Hongnong, and more than half of the troops stationed in Xiyuan were transferred. All of this was caused by Yang Guang's death, so naturally it could not be concealed.
It is easiest for news to spread in places where women gather together. It spreads from one to ten and then to a hundred. Soon the whole Shanglin Xiyuan knows about it, causing people to panic.
The news also reached Qiyin Court. Chen Fangling, who had just replaced "Shi Huiniang" as the beauty, ran in in a panic, only to see Xie Xiangwen playing the piano and Yuan Ziyan sitting cross-legged and listening intently.
Chen Fangling said anxiously: "Mrs. Xie, Yuan Meiren, I heard that we are all going to be sent to a nunnery to become a monk. How come the two sisters are still so elegant?"
