Chapter 140 I want a child
"Your Highness."
Su Ze looked at Princess Shouyang in a plain robe and felt a little embarrassed.
Su Ze was able to lure the snake out of its hole this time thanks to the gossip between himself and Princess Shouyang. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was an open-minded society, it was not a glorious thing to tarnish a woman's reputation for no reason.
So when facing Princess Shouyang alone, Su Ze's eyes were a little vague. After all, she was his sister-in-law.
However, Princess Shouyang did not mention this matter at all, but instead discussed Buddhism with Su Ze.
Could it be that she really came to discuss Buddhism with me?
Su Ze temporarily relaxed his mind and looked at the store refresh time. He only needed to wait another half an hour for the store to refresh. As long as he stayed with Princess Shouyang for another half an hour, he could get some of Princess Shouyang's luck.
But after just a few words, Su Ze began to sweat. Princess Shouyang's progress in Buddhism was very rapid, and it was no longer something that a half-baked Su Ze could easily fool. Su Ze could only rely on some mysterious revelations from later generations to deal with Princess Shouyang's questions.
No, next time I will entrust Princess Shouyang’s question to Bian Ji who is staying in Luoyang and answer it first.
Su Ze had thought of a way to cheat in advance, and he finally dealt with Princess Shouyang's questions. By this time, it was already dark outside.
It was almost time for the system store to refresh. When Su Ze felt that this torment was finally coming to an end, Princess Shouyang suddenly said:
"Captain Su, how are you going to deal with the Ruru King?"
"what?"
Su Ze thought he had misheard, but then he saw Princess Shouyang smile and say, "Captain Su, you said last time that you should do what you can with your strength. Now that you have destroyed the elite troops of the Rouran King's Tent, what are you going to do next?"
As expected, the ones that look natural are all black when cut open!
Princess Shouyang suddenly left her seat and sat next to Su Ze. Su Ze instinctively moved to the side, but Princess Shouyang moved closer to him.
"People outside are saying that Captain Su is my adulterer. If I let the Rurouni King return to the grassland, it won't do any good to you, my adulterer, right?"
You really know it!
Come to think of it, gossip spread so powerfully that all kinds of jokes emerged in the entire military camp. Princess Shouyang was not deaf, and her maids must have heard some rumors.
Looking at Princess Shouyang beside her, she still had a holy look on her face and a feeling of being inviolable, but she was doing completely opposite things and saying completely opposite words.
"Or do you think that my contribution is not enough, so you are unwilling to help me?"
After saying this, Princess Shouyang opened her clothes with her hands wrapped around the Buddhist beads and pressed her body against Su Ze.
Su Ze suddenly pushed Princess Shouyang to the side and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."
Princess Shouyang straightened her clothes, sat back in her seat and said, "Captain Su, I checked the documents in Pingcheng when I was in Pingcheng."
"During the reign of Emperor Daowu, Princess Huayin and Princess Fuze were married to Lu Dafei, the leader of the Rouran tribe."
"The two princesses had completely different fates."
"Princess Huayin already had a husband and a son. In order to win over the Rouran tribal leader Lu Dafei, who had surrendered, Emperor Daowu forced her to divorce her husband's family, abandon her son and marry to the border. Not long after she married to the grassland, she died. The cause of death was said to be the princess missing her son, but in fact she was killed by Lu Dafei's concubine." "Princess Fu Ze was married to Lu Dafei again, but at that time Emperor Daowu happened to be on a northern expedition to the grassland, where he defeated a part of the Gaoche and gained tens of thousands of people and livestock. After that, Lu Dafei was loyal to the Wei Dynasty, and the couple was in harmony. Lu Dafei treated Princess Fu Ze and her husband with respect. Emperor Daowu once wanted to make Lu Dafei the Khan of Rouran, but because Lu Dafei died of illness, he gave up and ordered that the position of tribal chieftain be left to the youngest son born to Princess Fu Ze."
Su Ze looked at Princess Shouyang in surprise, and she continued:
"In terms of favor, Princess Huayin was much more favored than Princess Fu Ze. There is no record of Princess Fu Ze's biological mother in the documents, and there was no record before the marriage, but the two ended up in completely different situations."
Princess Shouyang said: "The royal family is selfless. Born in an imperial family and enjoying the wealth of the royal family, it is natural that I have to bear such pain. The marriage cannot be changed, but I want to be Princess Fu Ze, not Princess Hua Yin."
My goodness, isn’t the quality of the princess from your Yuan family too high?
The treatment of a princess who marries a foreign country depends largely on the strength of her mother country and the degree of support she receives from her mother country.
The fates of these princesses who were married off were different. Most of them died tragically on the grassland as pawns of the marriage, but some of them had a good life, such as Princess Jieyou of the Han Dynasty.
Princess Jieyou was a princess who married into the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. With the support of the Han Dynasty, after the marriage, Princess Jieyou controlled the Wusun Kingdom successively through the identities of queen and queen mother. She also manipulated the political situation of several countries in the Western Regions with the help of Madam Feng Ling, a famous female diplomat of the Western Han Dynasty.
Finally, after her son's death, she returned to the Han Chang'an City to enjoy her old age. She can be said to be the idol of all princesses who were married to foreign countries.
But no matter whether it was Princess Fu Ze during the reign of Emperor Daowu or Princess Jie You during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, they were all princesses who were married off during the reigns of emperors with the word "Wu" in their names. Given the current situation in the Wei Dynasty, when even its own northern border is not at peace, how can it use force to support Princess Shou Yang who was married off?
So for Princess Shouyang, the only life-saving straw is Su Ze.
Su Ze held his head and said, "What do you think, Princess?"
Princess Shouyang saw Su Ze's words and immediately said, "According to the Rouran system, when the Khan is on a campaign, the Khan's wife is called Khatun and she also has the power of regent even if she stays in the royal tent."
"But the Khatun who can be the regent must also come from a powerful tribe."
Princess Shouyang looked at Su Ze again and said, "Besides that, there was also a time when the Khan of Rouran was young and his mother, Qahedun, was the regent."
Su Ze then felt a burning gaze.
Su Ze shook his head and said, "The Rouran King Anagui has a high prestige in the grassland. If he inherits the Khan's throne, it will be almost impossible for the princess to be regent. Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"In the Battle of Pingcheng, I captured Anagui's cousin Yujiulu Brahman. He was quite famous on the grassland and was a leader of a tribe. He was seriously injured in the Battle of Pingcheng. Although he was rescued, his body was broken. He is now captured in my camp."
Su Ze continued, "The elite troops of the royal tent brought by Yujiulu Brahmin were defeated by me. If you can subdue this group of people, then Your Highness will have a base."
After hearing this, Princess Shouyang smiled. It was already dark at this time, and Su Ze found that the area around the tent was too quiet.
Princess Shouyang rushed forward again and said, "I want a child."
I will be traveling on May Day, so I have been saving manuscripts these days and will pay them back after May Day. I still owe 4 chapters.
I don’t have the face to ask for votes, sorry!!!
