Wan Yanyan looked at Ayina and said unconvinced: "The Han people have a saying, "As long as you work hard, an iron rod can be ground into a needle." Even if it is an iron rod, I can grind it into a needle...
"
Aina looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "This sentence is wrong."
Wanyan Yan said: "What others have said for hundreds or thousands of years, how could it be wrong?"
Aina looked at her and asked: "How does the princess want to sharpen the needle's eye?"
Wan Yanyan thought for a while, looked at Ayina again, pointed at the door and said, "Get out!"
…
Tang Ning was alone in the tent and closed the tent door to prevent Wanyan Yan from running over again later.
As long as the skill is deep and the iron pestle is ground into a needle, the ancient saying is still very reasonable. There are enough wives in the family. Even for his own safety, he must keep himself clean. Except for work, it is best not to have sex with other people of the opposite sex.
Any communication.
And now Wan Yanyan's men are unlikely to make any big mistakes.
Ten kilograms of grain at this time is equivalent to sixteen kilograms in later generations. In other words, each family who joins Wanyan Yan's army can guarantee at least half a kilogram of rice every day. There are mature men from all tribes here. This half kilogram of rice is enough for
Their wives and children live a happy life.
She has food and shelter, and doesn't have to worry about the food and clothing of her family. As long as Wan Yanyan can continue to provide them with food, these people will definitely have their whole heart and soul for her.
This move not only united the hearts of Wanyanyan's own subordinates, but also caused many discordant voices among the tribes under the eldest prince and third prince.
We are not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. Everyone has submitted to the Wanyan tribe. Why should other people's sweat be given food while their sweat wants food? Obviously, it is better to follow the fourth princess than to follow the eldest prince and the third prince.
The eldest prince and the third prince no longer dare to collect food from the tribes under them. After hearing the news about the food distribution from the fourth princess, their tribes are already disorganized. If they apply more pressure, it is likely to cause riots.
Tang Ning hopes that the eldest prince and the third prince will do this. Wanyan's department is now facing a formidable enemy. If they cause civil strife again, Wanyan Yan can easily win.
At that time, Tang Ning returned to Beijing early to resume her duties.
It's a pity that the eldest prince and the third prince are not stupid. They have been honest these days. Although there are still many voices of dissatisfaction among the tribes under them, nothing major happened.
The Wanyan Department still has many prisoners of war from the Chen State. Wanyan Yan tried her best to save them against all the opposition. This time she wrote to the Khan and wanted to exchange the prisoners of war from the Chen State for the prairie prisoners. She has already obtained
Agreed.
She was the one who protected them in the first place, and now she is the one who asked for the exchange of prisoners. The people exchanged should also belong to her.
The eldest prince made a fuss because of this, but to no avail. Instead, he was reprimanded by the Khan and became much more honest these days.
Judging from Wanyan Khan's acting style, he treated the eldest prince, the third prince, and Wanyan Yan equally, with clear rewards and punishments. He did not look at relatives, but only at merits and demerits.
It's no wonder that the tribes he conquered are very convinced of him. Those who can unify the Sushen tribe and complete this unprecedented feat must have some kind of courage.
Judging from his recent decisive actions, he should have decided to determine the inheritance of the next khan before the threat of the black barbarians strikes again, and this candidate must be among the eldest prince, the third prince and Wan Yanyan
produce.
In the eldest prince's tent.
"Why, why!" The eldest prince paced in the tent, with an angry expression on his face, and said sternly: "Those are my people, why should I give them to her!"
"Prince, calm down..." Butai stepped forward and persuaded: "Khan didn't go into detail about the fact that we lost two tribes. We are lucky..."
"Lucky?" the eldest prince said angrily: "In just one month, her power has already surpassed that of my king. Is this considered my king's luck?"
Butai looked at him and said: "The eldest prince, don't forget that no matter how powerful the fourth princess is, she is still a woman. As long as she gets married, won't these tribes still be taken back by the Khan?"
"Bullshit!" The eldest prince looked at him and said angrily: "She doesn't want to get married, how can I still force her to get married?"
"Why not?" Butai looked at him and said, "The eldest prince is the eldest brother of the fourth princess. The Khan is ill in bed. Isn't it right for the eldest prince to care about her wedding?"
The eldest prince was a little moved at first, and then said irritably: "She won't listen to me."
Butai said: "The fourth princess will not listen to the eldest prince, but will always listen to the Khan, right?"
The eldest prince was startled, looked at him, and asked: "What do you mean..."
Butai took a step forward and said: "The third prince definitely doesn't want to see the fourth princess's power continue to grow. We can unite with the third prince first..."
After the eldest prince heard this, his eyes flickered a few times and he said, "Just do what you said."
In the third prince's tent.
The third prince has really not been going well in recent months. After several twists and turns, his power has become slightly inferior to that of the fourth princess and the eldest prince. If this continues, his right to speak in the clan will become smaller and smaller, until
Completely losing the possibility of becoming a khan.
At this moment, he was holding a letter in his hand and sneered: "Wanyanchu finally couldn't bear it anymore?"
A person next to him stepped forward and whispered: "Third Prince, the eldest prince's proposal is worth considering. The rise of the fourth princess is too strong. Only by completely muddying the water can we have a chance..."
"She was really setting me up last time..." Thinking of the losses she had suffered these days, Wanyanyan had gained a lot. The third prince crumpled the letter into a ball and said, "She is ruthless first, so don't blame me.
It’s meaningless!”
…
Wuyan tribe.
Wanyanyan, who had just learned some news, looked sulky, slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily: "Who is getting married!"
Yesterday, young warriors from more than ten tribes under the eldest prince and the third prince came to the Khan at the same time and made a request to marry the fourth princess.
The Khan could not ignore the requests of more than a dozen tribes. Moreover, the fourth princess Wanyan Yan had already reached the age of marriage, so the Khan had no suitable reason to refuse.
However, there is only one princess, but there are more than a dozen people who want to marry her. No matter how many tribes propose marriage, they can only choose one in the end. In order to convince the crowd, Khan proposed a way, which is to let the warriors of each tribe compete with each other.
The most powerful warrior who wins in the end can marry the princess.
It was this incident that made Wan Yanyan angry.
Aina stepped forward and said: "This time the eldest prince and the third prince obviously had a premeditated plan. Even the Khan could not withstand the pressure of more than a dozen tribes."
Wan Yanyan waved her sleeves and said, "I don't care, I won't marry anyone anyway!"
Tang Ning walked in from the outside and saw Wan Yanyan's angry expression, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong, you're so angry?"
Aina glanced at him and explained the matter.
"What?" Tangning's expression froze when she heard this.
If Xiao Manniu gets married, her tribe will definitely not be able to save it. If her tribe cannot be saved, she will not be able to become a khan. If she does not become a khan, the peace of Chen Guo and the grassland will become empty talk...
If he can't promote peace between Chen and Chu, isn't his trip to the grassland in vain?
"This is outrageous!" Tangning lowered her face, slammed the table, and said angrily, "Let me see who dares to marry you!"
