Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 583 Convincing the Tuoba family!

Three years ago, after the court structure stabilized, Yuan Shaoqi kept his promise and confessed his feelings in front of the old Duke and his son and his wife, and asked to marry Ling Jinghan according to the highest wedding procedures. If they disagree, then he Abandoning the surname of Yuan, directly changing the name to Shaoqi, and leaving the Yuan family, in simple terms, is to give up everything for Ling Jinghan, including the relatives who are related to him by blood. He was not allowed to marry a man for anything, and with Mrs. Shizi's words of encouragement from time to time, Yuan Shaoqi and his father almost had a fight. At first, the rest of the house did not dare to marry Yuan Guogong because of Yuan Guogong's presence. It was too blatant, but more or less mentioned the issue of the succession of the son, Yuan Guogong's title is hereditary, if there is no descendant in the son's line, then the other family members must be changed to become the son, and finally, Mrs. Shizi actually whimsically said that it is okay to say yes, she must choose a child from her natal family to adopt, and in the future inherit the title of Duke, and the other families will definitely not let the title fall into the hands of outsiders. See the old Duke Without saying a word, the sisters-in-law broke out and quarreled. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law fighting for the title, the old Duke wrote to the emperor overnight in a fit of anger, depriving the eldest son of the title of world son, and intuitively surpassed him. Pass the duke title to Yuan Shaoqi.

This matter once caused dissatisfaction among several people, including Yuan Shaoqi's father and aunt, but the old man has always kept his promises, and the emperor quickly issued an order, basically there is no room for a comeback, but everyone agrees. What I know is that the old man was not impulsive, and he could still trust the character of the Ling family. Seeing Yuan Shaoqi's deep affection for Ling Jinghan, he thought twice and reached an agreement with Yuan Shaoqi, as long as he can continue the glory of the Yuan family and establish military exploits , he personally went to the Ling family to propose marriage, and asked him to marry Ling Jinghan in a grand manner, which seemed to be a request for the righteousness of the family. In fact, many people knew that the old man had a good intention and wanted to force his lazy grandson to make contributions. , to make some achievements, lest someone say in the future that he relied on the protection of his ancestors to marry the Ling family.

Afterwards, Yuan Shaoqi swept away the decadence of the past, no longer clinging to Ling Jinghan every day, and joined Yan Shengrui's command as a lieutenant in command of the army. When the war broke out, he could make contributions and marry Ling Jinghan with military merit as a dowry.

Yuan Shaoqi's hard work in the past few years is obvious to all. No matter how hard or tired the training is, he has no complaints. Every day, he leads his soldiers to start training first and finish training at the latest. However, a person who is used to laziness, In fact, he is still lazy in his bones. All his efforts are aimed at marrying Ling Jinghan. Because of this motivation, he will continue to work hard. As for other things, he is still as inattentive as ever. This is why Ling Jingxuan asked him to be picky occasionally. The reason for the heavy burden, there is no court, where will the general come from?If the southern Xinjiang issue is not resolved, once the Eastern Kingdom or the northern barbarians come to invade, they will suffer from the enemy, internal and external troubles, how can they make any contribution? "What does brother want me to do?"

After staring deeply at him for a while, Yuan Shaoqi asked surprisingly calmly, Is it a heavy burden?It's not that he doesn't want to pick, just? ?I don't know why, without a goal, he has no motivation to work hard. In his mind, besides Ling Jinghan, the only remaining goal is to make contributions.

"Convince the Tuoba family!"

They are all a family, there is no need to be polite, Ling Jingxuan looked into his eyes and continued: "We have already investigated, the Tuoba family is a family that attaches great importance to family affection, and it is difficult for the Tuoba family to have daughters from generation to generation. Daughter, they even have an almost perverted pampering. Your mother is the concubine sister of the current head of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Wang. Sheng Rui spied on him that day, and he still seems to have feelings for your mother. If possible, I I hope you can persuade Tuoba Wang to submit to the imperial court and stop colluding with the Jiang family. Of course, we will also report to the imperial court, and all the previous things will be written off, including the taxes belonging to the imperial court that the four major families secretly withhold every year, including our first arrival. In southern Xinjiang, the four major families jointly intercepted and killed us, and everything is past, but in the future, he can no longer call himself the four major families, let alone do things that resist the court. Tuoba family!"

The long and narrow phoenix eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, giving the Yao family a chance, that is because they have a certain awareness, and Yao Shunxi and his wife are indeed very good, as for the Tuoba family, it can be said that it is entirely for the sake of Yuan Shaoqi, don't say anything about him Taking advantage of other people's family affection is the same for everyone. For the sake of more people's lives, everything that can be used must be used to the fullest. Before coming to Southern Border, Ling Jingxuan never thought of letting go of any family. He was even ready to flatten the southern border. When he was chased and fell into the river, he had secretly told himself that as long as he didn't die, it would be someone else's turn to die. He really intends to keep none of the four major families, but? ?

He met Zhuohan, Zhuohan was murdered like that, he never forgot the people in southern Xinjiang, he never forgot his duty to protect the peace in southern Xinjiang, in the end he even used his death to cover their escape, his spirit moved him and comforted his heart Awakened bloodthirsty beast, this is the fundamental reason why he not only did not take any drastic measures to retaliate after he came out, but gave in again and again, and would rather spend time and slowly destroy them when dealing with the Kang family, Zhuohan's last wish, he wanted to help him Done, try not to start a war on the land of southern Xinjiang.

"Okay, I'll try to convince them."

After a while of silence, Yuan Shaoqi looked into his eyes and said solemnly, although he and the Tuoba family basically had no family relationship, they were still his mother's natal family, and he knew the temperament of eldest brother and brother Rui. If the Tuoba family insists on going their own way, then the next one to be destroyed will definitely be the Tuoba family. Since they have come to southern Xinjiang, they will not leave any hidden dangers in southern Xinjiang. The Tuoba family must either surrender or be destroyed. There is no third option .

"Well, then you can arrange it. Before everything is settled, don't let the Jiang family or the Kang family notice it."

Ling Jingxuan nodded and turned to Yan Shengrui. He is currently in charge of the outside world. He knows better than him how to contact the Tuoba family.

"I'll ask Yan Si to go there in person later, Shao Qi, didn't you say that mother's relics should be handed over to Tuoba's family? Take them out as a token."

While speaking, the tiger's eyes turned to Yuan Shaoqi. The Tuoba family is mysterious and low-key. Until now, he still can't figure out the other party's temperament, which may cause unnecessary conflicts. It is always good to have a token, at least let them know, It was indeed their old friends who met them secretly this time.

Hearing this, Yuan Shaoqi took out an old purse from his bosom, which was embroidered with patterns that did not belong to the Central Plains. The needles and threads had turned yellow, but it could still be seen that it should be very beautiful when it was brand new. Welcome Seeing everyone's gaze, Yuan Shaoqi opened his purse and poured out a pair of earrings inlaid with gold inlaid with small fingernail-sized jade egg faces.

"This is a relic of my mother. It is said that it was her eldest brother, the current head of the Tuoba family, who gave her a birthday present when she was ten years old. Back then, my mother went to the capital alone with me in her arms. After selling it, there is only this pair of earrings. She is reluctant to sell them. When she was still alive, she often said that this is the only thing she can miss her family. Let me take this pair of earrings to Nanjiang to find Tuoba's family. She said that he was sorry for her family and broke their hearts, but she believed that if he was gone, her family would definitely take good care of her only son. I don't know how other people judge my mother, but in my mind, she is a great mother."

Gently rubbing the pair of earrings, Yuan Shaoqi's voice could not help but choke a little. Many concubines or bastards feel inferior to their own identities, but he has never felt that way, because once he feels inferior, it is equal to It was an indirect denial of his mother. All along, he had been treated as his eldest son and grandson, and he had never felt inferior.

"Everyone's persistence in love is different. Whether your mother is right or wrong is beyond our judgment. As long as she thinks everything is worth it, then as a son, you don't have to feel sorry for her."

If this is placed in a proper mistress, it will definitely be scolded miserably, but this is ancient times, and it is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. For Yuan Shaoqi's mother's desperate behavior for love, she is innocent. From the perspective of the ancients, Ling Jingxuan admired her. Looking at the world today, it is estimated that few women dare to be like her, but personally, he feels that his mother is a bit stupid. It's impossible for him to suffer so much to make the man who is the culprit feel better, that would be too cheap for him.

"My mother has passed away for many years, and I have almost let go of those obsessions. Brother Rui, there is my mother's boudoir name on the back of this earring. Patriarch Tuoba should know it when he sees it. I want to give the rest to him personally. .”

Blinking away the sadness of seeing his mother's relics, Yuan Shaoqi handed one of the earrings to Yan Shengrui, and he carefully put the other earring back into his purse.

"spirit?"

Yan Shengrui, who took the earrings, turned it over and saw that there was indeed a small spirit character engraved on the back of the egg, Tuoba Ling, just from the name, he knew that his mother was probably a beautiful woman, right?But it was a bad luck to meet such a man.

"How are Jinghan and the others? Are parents okay?" The things that should be said are probably almost finished, Ling Jingxuan changed the subject calmly, and when it came to family members, the smiles returned to their faces again.

"Both parents are fine. The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been brought under control. Xiaoqi looked through the blueprints you gave Yunhan to control the inner sea, and found inspiration from them. He plans to follow the same pattern and build a flood control dam. The current matter It has been put on the agenda, and when the flood subsides completely, it may be necessary to arrange people to implement it."

Yuan Shaoqi also swept away the previous sadness, and took the initiative to talk about the things that happened in the court. Xiaoqi actually didn't let them talk about these things, because he felt that it was difficult enough for the eldest brother and the others in southern Xinjiang, and they shouldn't take such things anymore to bother them.

"Hehe... As expected of the emperor praised by everyone, Xiao Qi is becoming more and more qualified to be a good emperor."

Water control is universal, and not all of the blueprints he drew were for inland sea control. Many of them can be applied to river dredging and control. He can discover this, which means that he is really working hard. Be a good emperor.
