A few windows in an annex in Chigu Castle still revealed soft light, and it was obvious that there were still people who had not yet fallen asleep.
"How's the information gathering going?"
"There are so many unexpected things. It seems like someone has spread a lot of news to disrupt the situation in the city."
"Can you tell the difference between true and false?"
"Some can be seen at a glance, while others cannot be distinguished. After all, we don't know much about this place."
"So which ones seem to be more valuable now?"
"Well... how to put it, just like what the Wusun envoy said, there are indeed many factions in Chigu City now, but if we want to say that the most conspicuous ones are divided into three main factions. The eldest prince, the third prince and I think
The second prince cannot be ignored."
Wang Yan's answer made everyone present frown. Oh no, there were two people whose expressions didn't seem to change much. One was naturally Su Xiaoluoli, who was serving tea and water for everyone.
The enigmatic Jia Xu.
But having said that, it is really impressive that Wang Yan was able to obtain information that made him so confident in a short period of time. If combined with the Wusun words that their family can use, I am afraid that among the Wusuns,
They should have their own unique path.
Thinking of Ban Fu's confident smile when he recommended him, Li Shushi once again felt this group of people's obsession with the Western Regions.
"Could it be that King Wusun is no longer able to control the situation? When I think about it, the faction kings should at least take over one of them."
Because of a series of good performances, Guan Qiu Xing now had the opportunity to participate in the discussion, and this guy didn't seem to have any stage fright, and expressed his opinions without any attempt at concealment.
"Although King Wusun is still the king of Wusun, it seems that news of his imminent death is spreading throughout the city. It is precisely for this reason that various careerists keep jumping out of the water. Of course, that person cannot be ruled out.
The old king is using this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. If this is really the case, the three factions mentioned above may not be able to compete with him."
"Then let's talk about the issues of the three factions first." According to Su Xiaololi, the old king's body is indeed in a very dangerous state, but he will not fall down immediately without a huge stimulus. This is a special time.
At this moment, I believe it will not be without any arrangements, so how to find a suitable entry point becomes very important.
"The eldest brother, Di Mi, is the eldest son. He has been regarded as an outstanding figure just like his father since he was a child. Although he is not very outstanding in governing the country, he is said to be very polite and brave in battle, so he is popular among the people of Wusun Kingdom.
see."
"What about the third child? Since he can compete with such an outstanding boss, he must be a person."
"This old Sanyuan Miruo has nothing outstanding in terms of reputation alone. She seems to be mediocre in everything, but she seems to be quite popular with the queen. The current Queen of Wusun is not the original wife of King Pimi.
, seemed to have some conflicts with the eldest prince Di Mi, so she began to fully support the third child. This queen not only
She comes from Kangju, has many supporters behind her, and her own abilities are also outstanding. It is because of her that the entire Wusun has become stronger over the years and bridged the contradiction between the big and small Kunmi. So if we say that the big
If the prince's strength lies within, then the strength of the third prince or queen lies outside."
"Where is the second child? He doesn't look like a good person." Jia Kui seemed to be inspired by Guan Qiujian and became bolder.
"The second son has a very bad reputation. He is a person who is addicted to drinking and sex. Although he is quite cautious and does not mess with people he cannot mess with at will, he is quite unscrupulous towards civilians, and he is very cruel. It is said that everyone The civilian women who were snatched into the house by him would be strangled to death and thrown into a nearby valley for up to half a year. What's more, one woman attempted to escape, and she was stripped naked and cut into pieces for more than a hundred times with a blunt knife in public. He ordered the onlookers to share the meat cut from the woman’s body..."
At this point, Wang Yan suddenly stopped. Of course, Li Shushi and others also understood the reason why he was like this.
By the way, Su Xiaololi, please stop showing off your momentum over there. Doing so will kill someone. Didn’t you see that a dead ant fell down in the corner, foaming at the mouth? If you don’t control your momentum, you’ll lose your life. There is no chance of rescue.
"No matter who you choose to cooperate with, you can't choose this guy. This guy is the public enemy of women!" Su Xiaololi looked serious, while Luo, who was bored to the side, was chewing on Ringo and teasing the little wolf cub who didn't know where he came from. He also nodded his head.
Although it is said that "Crystal Palace is not allowed to interfere in politics", considering the strength of these two people, everyone present cannot ignore their opinions. Otherwise, let's not talk about whether "witches' dark dishes" will appear in future meals, but only talk about future battles. When a certain radar strikes you, it is depressing enough.
Of course, the most important reason is - a guy like this who seriously wastes rare resources like beautiful girls is not enough to thank the world even if he is executed by the big FFF group Lingchi. How can such a scumbag continue to live in the world? Woolen cloth!
So generally speaking, supporting characters who are associated with girls, especially beautiful girls, basically have no good end - for example, in history, Sun Ce only lived to 26, Zhou Yu was only 36, and Fengxian did not live more than 10 years after getting Diao Chan. Yuan Xi became a minotaur.
Ahem...it seems like I accidentally said a lot of weird things.
Due to some unexpected reasons, the second prince named Huan Tui has been labeled as excluded by the senior officials of the Bingzhou Army. Although in fact they can't do anything about the behavior of His Highness the prince, God knows what impact this will have on others. What effect will happen at any time? After all, Li Shushi not only has these two thousand troops, but also has thirty thousand people coming here.
Of course, without Su Xiaololi's opinion, Li Shushi would not like the greedy look he showed towards a certain Loli right away. Although he had to admit that his vision was indeed good, he also had to say that his eyesight needed to be improved. .
Do you really think that a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake like you?
"Uncle Wang, can you tell me what the conflict is between the eldest prince and the queen?" Zhang Gong also became active.
"Yes, yes, please tell me why it is clearly a fight between the queen and the eldest prince but it must be said that it is a party of three princes and one party."
Jiang Xu couldn't help but ask questions, but he was too complacent to notice his cousin's hint.
So...
"I can answer this question for you, because the Wusun people have the same custom as the Huns and Xianbei people. After the death of the head of the family, the heir of the family has the right to inherit all the women of the previous generation of the family except the biological mother. So if the third prince ends up After ascending that position, the queen's identity will now be that of the third prince's woman, so you should understand." This was Xiaoqiang's explanation.
"I asked you to read more books but you didn't listen. Princess Xijun, who was married to Wusun in my dynasty, once wrote a letter asking to return to the Han Dynasty because she was not used to this custom of weddings and funerals. However, the emperor asked her to follow her country's customs.
'Rejected, and ultimately died in depression."
Seeing Yang Fu scolding his cousin with a serious look on his face and Jiang Xu not daring to talk back, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"It seems that I can say less, but it would be a long story to talk about the conflict between the eldest prince and the queen."
It seemed to be a rather complicated or long-standing story, so Wang Yan couldn't help but take a sip of the local specialty milk drink.
"The conflict between the eldest prince and the queen reveals that it is actually a question of status between Wusun and Kang Ju. The eldest prince's mother is the old king's first wife, from the Xiaokunmi line. The queen is the princess of Kang Ju's country.
In addition, it is said that the third prince’s wife is the queen’s cousin and also comes from the Kangju noble family. Therefore, the eldest prince hopes that Wusun can annex Kangju, but the queen obviously does not want this.”
"It seems that the relationship between Wusun and Kangju is not as harmonious as it seems." Xu Chu scratched his head, as if he couldn't believe it. However, Li Shushi believed that if it was Xu Chu who had seen the battle between Wu and Shu in history, he would have
I understand.
"A hundred years ago, the Kangju people were servants of the Kushan people. Whenever there was friction between them and Wusun, it was the Kangju people who took the lead. It would be unrealistic to say that there was no friction between the two parties. Therefore, in order to strengthen the relationship, both parties deliberately used
The in-laws came to contact us. But there seemed to be a little problem with Pi Mi's generation."
"I remember Pi Mi is the second oldest, there should be an elder brother above him." Yang Fu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Yes, the eldest brother of Pi Mi, the previous king of Wusun, went to Kangju's woman, and Pi Mi went to their woman in order to win over Xiao Kunmi's family. It was a pity that he had to fight with the Kushan people again.
The eldest prince and the second prince at that time jointly led the troops to rescue, but the eldest prince died in the battle and the second prince Pi Mi returned to Chigu City unscathed."
"It smells like conspiracy, but it's hard to find a clue if you have clean hands and feet." Although Lu Bu is not good at plotting, he is a man who has been a horse thief after all, and he has quite a lot of experience in committing crimes.
"General Lu guessed it right. This incident seemed normal on the surface, and the second prince Pi Mi later showed much more talent than the eldest prince. Therefore, in the eyes of the grassland people, this is a blessing, allowing the more capable
The second prince stood out."
"It's just that the Kangju people have no chance to influence the next generation of Wusun leaders. When they finally found the opportunity, they found that the one who was most likely to get the inheritance rights had already had his own influence on the Kangju people.
They set their sights on the third prince who was suppressed by the eldest brother."
"And according to my investigation, in the previous battle between Wusun and Xianbei, most of the losses were the troops of the third prince's line, while the troops of the eldest prince's line not only did not suffer losses, but also narrowly avoided the pursuit of the Xianbei people.
kill……"
To doubt something like this, sometimes you don't need evidence, just a feeling is enough.
"What about Pi Mi's attitude?"
"I don't know clearly, but it seems to be influenced by the queen."
"Abandoning elders and establishing younger ones? This is a taboo in the Central Plains, but here, it's not easy to say."
"So what should we do next?"
"Let's wait and see what happens, but maybe we can add more fire if necessary. Wusun is still relatively confident now. When the time comes, our soldiers and horses will probably become their cannon fodder, which is not in our interests."
PS: Today is a bad day. I have been having diarrhea since early morning. I don’t dare to eat. I can only add a little salt water to maintain body fluids to prevent dehydration. However, collapse or something is inevitable. My limbs are weak and my mind is dizzy. Although it is very depressing.
There is nothing I can do.
Since I promised two updates until Tuesday, I can't break my promise casually. Fortunately, I still have some manuscripts in hand, but I will probably only be able to update once tomorrow...
