Chapter 87 Brothers

He Song had no choice but to comfort his angry brother, "Brother calm down. Saburo's marriage, how can you, your father, stand idly by your side?"

He Qi is the only legitimate son of Duke Ping and the future prince of Duke Ping. His wife is the future wife of Duke Yipeng and the chief mistress of the He family.

After the He family got married and had children, they had to enter the military camp. A few years later, He Qi had to replace Duke Ping and sit in the border. He Qi's wife was the second to be in charge of raising children in the inner house. The most important thing was to support the door of Duke Ping's mansion.

Therefore, He Qi's marriage had to be cautious.

Duke Ping was still angry and snorted, "I want to care about my mother's temper, you don't know! Now I am trying to protect that bastard and want to set up this marriage for him! What do you want me to do?"

That's true.

When he thought of his mother's temper, He Song also felt a headache.

Duke Lao Ping died early, and their brothers were raised by the Grandma. The Grandma believed in the principle of "a son who did not fight would not become a talent without fighting" and was never ruthless in discipline. The two brothers were always filial and obedient...

It’s not okay if you don’t want to listen!

The stern lady, when she reached her grandson's generation, was particularly arrogant. Especially He Qi, the notorious reputation of a playboy, came to the border thousands of miles away.

Duke Ping was both angry and helpless. He Qi's mother died early and grew up beside her grandmother. The grandmother wanted to protect her grandson, and no one dared to say anything. No matter how gentle and kind the second aunt was arrogant, wouldn't He Qi become a rampant playboy?!

The two brothers were speechless.

Then, he sighed at the same time.

"Forget it, I won't talk about this." Duke Ping took a deep breath. "I mentioned it today, and Doctor Cheng refused to nod, but I'm not a big deal. I wrote a letter to tell my mother about this. I don't care what their grandparents and grandchildren will do next."

He Song laughed so hard when he heard this. Seeing that his brother looked depressed, he couldn't bear to persuade him any more.

The original wife of Duke Pingguo, Zhu, died early. In recent years, Duke Pingguo only took a concubine and did not reconcile. No matter how many sons the concubine had, he was still a concubine, and he could not shake He Qi's status at all.

It can be seen that in my brother's heart, he had high expectations for his legitimate son He Qi.

He Qi was extremely intelligent and talented when he was young. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and tended to become more and more crooked as he grew. However, Duke Ping was disappointed that he was disappointed.

"You haven't had breakfast yet!" Duke Ping asked He Song.

He Song nodded.

Duke Ping immediately said, "I ordered someone to send some breakfast, so I could eat some more. I was thinking about how to propose marriage before, but I only ate 60% full."

...

A pot of hot porridge, a pot of steamed buns, and several dishes were swept away by the two brothers.

After eating ten years, Duke Ping's depression and anger gradually dissipated. Suddenly, he sighed to He Song, "It's better if Sanlang is half as sensible as Erlang."

The praise for He Zhi is undoubtedly revealed.

When he mentioned his eldest son, He Song had a smile in his eyes, but said, "How old is Erlang older, Sanlang is still young. After marrying and having children, he will become calm and will definitely have a bright future."

A complex emotion flashed in Duke Ping's eyes, "I hope so."

If He Qi continues to make trouble, even if he asks to be the crown prince, he may not be able to convince the public.

He Qi was young and promising, and was very favored by the emperor and supported by the eldest prince. How could he be convinced by He Qi?

If the second wife of He’s parents’ house does not work together, they are afraid that the two children will have to fight each other in the future.

This hidden worry is that even if you are as close as a brother, you cannot tell it.

Duke Ping sighed inwardly and turned the topic away, "Tartars were defeated last year and were truceed this year. The letter of state was presented to the court. The prince of Tatar wanted to marry the princess, but in order to show his sincerity, he only led 200 personal soldiers into the pass. Within two months, the prince of Tatar and his group were able to arrive in the capital."

...

The biological mother of this Tatar prince is Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia is the sister of Emperor Xuanhe. She married the Tatar Khan twenty years ago and became the Great Clan. Three years later, she gave birth to a son and named him Jiasilan.

The old Khan had poor descendants, and the other three Shisans were born to daughters. The other sons had their biological mothers too low. Jaslan was smart since childhood and was quite happy to the old Khan. At the age of eight, he was made the crown prince.

Unfortunately, the old Khan was seriously ill and he was less than a year after the crown prince was established.

The Tatars were nomadic peoples who lived in the grass and respected the strong. A nine-year-old child obviously could not take on the heavy responsibility of Khan.

After much thought, the old Khan decided to pass the position of Khan to his younger brother Bu Chi. Bu Chi and Lao Khan are the brothers of a mother and the most loyal right-hand man of the old Khan.

In front of the old Khan's sickbed, Bu Chi made a poisonous oath, and when his nephew became an adult, he would give up his position as Khan.

As soon as the old Khan died, Bu Chi became the new Khan. According to the Tatar custom, he naturally took over all the old Khan's clans. Princess Roujia endured humiliation and committed herself to the new Khan and raised her son.

Now, the prince of Tatar is eighteen years old.

Princess Roujia personally wrote a letter of state and asked the Princess of Dachu to marry the Princess of the Tatar.

It is not uncommon for princesses to marry far away in the Great Chu Dynasty. The border wars are always there, and I don’t know how many soldiers will die every year, and I also consume a lot of money and food. In order to conquer Ding Yangjun, the treasury of the Great Chu Dynasty was empty every year.

As a brave and warlike emperor, Emperor Xuanhe never gave up on the idea of ​​expanding territory and completely taking over the grassland outside the pass to the Great Chu. However, this was obviously not a matter of day and night.

Marrying a princess is a very cost-effective thing to get a few years of rest and recuperation.

When Princess Roujia married Tatars, Dachu and Tatars quit for five years. The border was rarely calm for five years.

Gong Gong and He Song also agreed with the marriage. However...

"There are only two princesses in the Great Chu. I wonder if the emperor is willing to marry a daughter from a distant place." He Song whispered.

The fifteen-year-old Princess Shouning Yuan Qiao was born by Empress Pei. The fourteen-year-old Princess Corning was born by Concubine Gu Xian in the palace. Princess Shouning was smart and beautiful, and was loved by the emperor. Princess Corning was gentle and gentle, and Concubine Gu Xian was not favored. The mother and daughter had almost no sense of existence in the palace.

If Emperor Xuanhe had the intention of marrying, who would marry far away?

Is it the legitimate Princess Shouning? Or the illegitimate Princess Kangning?

The Duke of Ping's eyes flashed and said lightly, "The emperor's holy heart decides, and you and I don't need to worry about it. The Tatars are ambitious and repeatedly invading borders is a conscience to my great Chu Dynasty."

"Even if a marriage truce is truce, the border troops must not slacke in."

"The total strength of the Great Chu army is about 300,000, and the border troops account for one-third. Every year, in order to raise 100,000 border troops, all kinds of food, clothing, weapons, war, horses and supplies are used to take 40% of the tax. Our He family has been generals for generations and guarding the border. If we are here, the border will be free of worries. If there is any loss in the border, you and I will have to sacrifice our lives for the country."

He Song looked stern, "Brother is saying it."
