Chapter 293 Number of Princesses
Of course, Lu Jinping would not want to believe that the marriage between him and Princess Siyun would make the Tang Dynasty and the Turks never fight. = Even now, the Turks sent troops to attack the rebel tribes in the west, and the rear was empty, and the Tang Dynasty would not be able to take advantage of the opportunity to attack his lair.
Because the Tang Dynasty is also in turmoil now, the rebellion of Empress Wei has just been quelled, and the current emperor is only in a short period of spring and autumn, and there will be Princess Taiping's rebellion later. Only after Li Longji becomes emperor and consolidates the regime can he concentrate on dealing with the Turks.
Therefore, Lu Jinping needs to use this marriage to achieve temporary peace with the Turks to help overcome the difficulties in the past few years. Now, the Turkic army has no time to look south, which can make Lu Jinping breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, if they can get married, it will make the Turks more at ease against the tribes in the west and will not draw troops south to deal with the Tang Dynasty.
So Lu Jinping said: "This is hard to say, people change, but I believe that the heroes of the Turkic Khan generation should be trustworthy people. Since I have become his son-in-law, he should not use any attack on the Tang Dynasty, right? And since he promised to marry both sides, that is, he does not want to fight with the Tang Dynasty. However, no matter what, thank you for your kind reminder. I also hope that we can live in peace. After all, it is not good for anyone to start a war."
Hearing Lu Jinping's words, Yelu Jue walked back and looked at him with a look of concern: "Sir, it seems that you don't know much about the Turks. Let me tell you the truth that the Turks can only maintain national affairs by relying on swords and weapons, because the nomadic people on the grassland do not have fields like your Tang Dynasty. If the weather is good, it would be fine. As long as there are natural disasters, one will die of cattle and sheep, and a large area of people will starve to death. If he does not fight or plunder, what will he rely on to support his people? So, no matter what, it will be a matter of time before he uses troops to the Tang Dynasty."
Lu Jinping did not understand the Turks. But after hearing Yelu Jue say this, he felt it made sense.
The snow in Lingzhou reached its knees. Going further north, he could not imagine how deep the snow would be. Under the snow disaster, the snow covered a large area of grassland, and the cattle and sheep had no food to eat and starved to death. The nomadic people who rely on cattle and sheep lost the food source of cattle and sheep, which depended on cattle and sheep, on which they depended on. In addition to fighting and plundering the materials and food of tribes in other countries, what other ways could they survive?
No wonder nomads on the grassland have fought everywhere for thousands of years. It is not because they are warlike and fierce by nature. Instead, for the most basic survival, they must survive.
Seeing Lu Jinping's dazed look, Yelu Jue knew that his words had worked, and smiled and said, "What should you do when facing a group of jackals? Should you wait for him to eat you or fight back? Prince, you know this principle more than me. I'll wait for you in the inn."
After saying that, Yelu Jue looked at Lu Jinping with beautiful big eyes deeply, turned around and walked out. Several followers bowed to Lu Jinping and bowed to him, and then followed him out.
Lu Jinping looked at their backs away and was dazed. Today, he encountered two strange things in a row. One was that Princess Siyun ignored him, and then met the young Khitan woman, Khan's wife. If both of these things could be done, then the Tang Dynasty would have peace. However, judging from Yelu Jue's words just now, this matter is probably not that simple.
The next morning, Lu Jinping came to Princess Siyun's small yard in the back garden again. This time, the two gatehouses told Lu Jinping that Princess Siyun got up at dawn and was copying Buddhist scriptures. So Lu Jinping walked in happily and came to the main hall. There were also female guards guarding her. When she saw Lu Jinping, she bowed and bowed to her salute.
Lu Jinping lifted the curtain and walked in. He saw Princess Siyun sitting in front of the window in white clothes, copying scriptures. He heard his footsteps coming in. He didn't even move his eyelids, as if the two had never had any intimate actions that night.
Lu Jinping coughed, stepped forward and said, "Princess Siyun, are you not feeling well?"
Princess Siyun seemed to have not heard it, and she still copied the scriptures in strokes.
Lu Jinping frowned and said, "If I did something wrong, can I tell me directly? The girl's cold expression made me feel uncomfortable. What can we say it openly?"
Princess Siyun placed her brush on the Bijia Mountain, turned around and stared at Lu Jinping, and then slowly said: "I'll ask you something, after you marry me as a princess, how many princesses are you going to marry?"
When Lu Jinping heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. It must have been Xiaoxiao's intimate attitude towards him that night and his concern for Xiaoxiao made Princess Siyun jealous.
Since this topic has been mentioned, it must be made clear. Because you can't tell lies to marry her, otherwise you will be afraid of peace in the future. Lu Jinping thought about it and thought in his mind what women around him must marry.
First of all, of course, Yunzi has sent someone to propose marriage, and then Xiaoxiao. The two of them have already had skin kinship, which is necessary, but Lu Niang is hard to say, because Lu Niang practices the boy skills that Lu Niang can't have sex with her. The princess is afraid that she has no interest in this.
Ning Mou still had a good impression of herself, but she never cared about everything, so she had no idea about it, so she was temporarily excluded.
After thinking in his heart, Lu Jinping said, "It should be three to four, two of them will soon marry me after we get married. To be honest, before I get along with you, I have already gotten along with them, and I can't lie to you."
Princess Siyun smiled and said, "Is there a woman with high martial arts skills in the past?"
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "She is not only my confidante, but also my life-saving benefactor. She has saved me several times."
Princess Siyun said: "What you just said was three to four, which means that you can marry at most four princesses, right?"
"It should be this number. There is no way. The princes of the Tang Dynasty almost all have three wives and four concubines."
Princess Siyun said: "Not only do you have it in the Tang Dynasty, but also in the Turks. What I want to say is that it is not important to marry a few wives and concubines. What is important is that I hope that after we get married, since I am the princess, don't leave me aside and just accompany them. Can you do this?"
Lu Jinping said: "Of course, you are my wife, so of course I won't leave you aside. What's more, you are so beautiful that even if I want to let go, I can't bear it."
Princess Siyun didn't smile and said lightly: "The face will eventually grow old. Will you still say this when I am old and yellow?"
"That's true. Even if you are old in the future, you will be as graceful as you get old. If you take a step back, you are really old, and I was actually old at that time. Two old people are probably more likely to be close to each other. This is what the saying goes, young couples will accompany you in old age. So, even if there is one day, I will still be with you, of course, including them."
Princess Siyun's face, which had been tense, finally had a smile. She stood up, walked to Lu Jinping, looked up, and said word by word: "I remember what you said just now. If one day you really treat me as a vase and ignore me, I will ask you with this."
"No problem, what I said is absolutely counted."
"There is one more thing. You just said that there are three or four princesses in your side. I don't want to increase this number anymore. I think you should be satisfied with five of us women accompanying you, right? I have seen some people marry one after another. The older you are, the younger you marry, it's really disgusting. I don't want my husband to be such a person."
Three or four of the ones Lu Jinping said had already become rich. In fact, he had decided to marry only two of them, and the remaining two were left as a means of maneuver. Therefore, if you can really marry four princesses and one of the beautiful princesses, the five women were already satisfied. He was not a fickle radish, and he loved one. So he nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, you can marry at most four princesses and you won't marry again."
Princess Siyun looked at him, as if she wanted to see the credibility of what he said in his face.
When she didn't find any laughter or casual expression on Lu Jinping's face, she smiled and said, "When will we set off?"
"We need to wait for our emperor's approval, and of course we also have to wait for your father's promise to make a marriage. Then we can set off, but I think it wouldn't take too long."
Princess Siyun said: "Since that's the case, then you will come to play chess with me these days, okay? I have been thinking about the chess that day for the past two days. Your chess skills are too weird, but they are really effective. I want to learn this method. Can you teach me?"
Lu Jinping deliberately shook his head and said, "That's not OK. That's my secret skill. If you learn it, then I won't be able to beat you. Wouldn't that teach my disciples to starve to death?"
Princess Siyun saw him smiling and saying this with a smile, she knew that he was joking. She gave him a blank look and said, "Isn't it just playing chess? Can't you still not lose? You lost to me and not others, I am your future wife."
The last sentence made Lu Jinping feel excited. This peerless beauty who was ashamed as a flower, as beautiful as a flower, is so ashamed to be her own bride. The joy in her heart is still uncontrollable. She smiled and said, "Okay, you said that, then I will teach you. However, what I told you is very different from your usual thinking of playing Go. Whether you can learn it depends largely on the degree of trust you have in my method."
"Of course I believe in the power of your method, otherwise I wouldn't be shameless and let you teach me. Don't talk nonsense, let's start."
Lu Jinping smiled in a hint and said, "Then should we go to the lake outside to play Go?" (To be continued.)
ps: Something happened these two days, and I will update the new book "The Gods Doctor" at the same time. The update is a bit abnormal, I'm sorry. Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
