"Ha!" After hearing Shen Gu's report, Shen Zangfeng showed an expected expression and said, "Then can the wedding date be set for the two of them?"
- Shen Gu was previously told by Shen Zangfeng to accompany Mo Ye back to the royal tent. Taking advantage of the power of Wei and the Shen family, Ayitahu had no choice but to agree to the gift of thanks given to Mo Ye by the Wei Chief Ying. Mo Ye himself should Disposal.
As a result, Mo Ye first said that he did not intend to give it to the tribe. Then, amidst the great disappointment and anger of Ayitahu and others, there was an unexpected turn: he wanted to use the luggage he received this time as The betrothal gift for Princess Mansha’s marriage!
After he said this, everyone thought that when he took people to Diecuiguan to discuss peace, Ayitahu had been seriously ill and had to seek medical treatment. He had promised him that he would marry Mansha...
And they also understood why Mansha was so sure after seeing that the elders and clan chiefs of the Di people did not agree to directly hand over the baggage obtained by Mo Ye to Ayitahu for full distribution, so she instead asked Mo Ye to speak for herself...
Young people will be young people after all! The elders and clan chiefs of the Di people looked at Ayitahu's almost smiling face, feeling disappointed and angry in their hearts: Although Mansha is known as the most beautiful woman in Qiu Di, in the eyes of old foxes like them, no matter how beautiful the princess is, , how can it be compared with power
The whole tribe is about to starve. If you are not careful, you will be annexed by other tribes. Who cares about beauty? !
That is to say, a young man like Mo Ye, who has no family, no worries, and has always been bullied by his tribe, was given the opportunity to marry the jewel of the tribe, and he was immediately dazzled by the beauty! Give generous betrothal gifts...
If Mansha hadn't been known as the most beautiful woman in Qiudi, the elders and clan leaders would have wanted to recommend it to their daughters and granddaughters immediately. At this moment, they seemed to understand why Ayitahu valued this daughter so much, even if she was running for her life. It’s time to abandon so many children, and we have to take Mansha with us - not to mention Mansha’s intelligence and agility, just talking about her title as the most beautiful woman in Qiu Di, and her status as the princess of Qiu Di, everything is really going to be exhausted, relying on this daughter It may not be possible to survive from desperate situations!
No matter how depressed these people were, after Moye said this, Ayitahu immediately said that he would marry Mansha to him - and Shen Gu, who was present at the time, also smiled and congratulated him, which was considered to be the end of the matter. It’s finalized.
When Shen Zangfeng asked about it, Shen Gu nodded and said, "Just next month." He also explained, "The people of Di have rough etiquette. Even if the princess descends, there is no very complicated etiquette. What's more, Ayita Hulian was defeated. Now that I have received the betrothal gift brought back by Mo Ye, I am concentrating on starting another war with Wu Gumeng. I don’t expect that it will be impossible to prepare a dowry for Princess Mansha compared to Mo Ye’s betrothal gift.”
"In that case, why don't you try again when the time comes." Shen Zangfeng smiled faintly and said, "I'll also prepare a gift."
Shen Gu's official position was not high, and he was only a descendant of a distant branch of the Shen family in terms of bloodline, so he obeyed Shen Zangfeng's orders.
After sending him away, Shen Zangfeng returned to the back hall and told Wei Changying about Mo Ye's upcoming marriage to Princess Mansha. Wei Changying nodded and said: "He has reached the age of proposing marriage, but his parents can't make the decision for him. Although I don't know what the temperament of the Princess Mansha I married this time is, since she is Ayitahu's favorite daughter, , I think his status in the clan will not be bad in the future."
He asked, "Do I need to tell my elder brother about this? I also want my elder brother to relax."
"Of course I have to tell you." Shen Zangfeng said with a faint smile, "Eldest brother has always cared about Mo Ye. If he knew that he married Princess Di Ren and was highly regarded by his father-in-law, I would feel more at ease."
Wei Changying said: "My eldest brother's letter came after my father's letter before, but now I am afraid that I am waiting for him in the imperial capital, so why not write a letter and tell him now."
The couple discussed it for a while, and Wei Changying wrote a draft of the family letter. Shen Zangfeng took it and read it, corrected a few things, polished it, copied it, sealed it, and sent it to someone to take it to the house. Imperial capital.
The imperial capital, Taifu Mansion.
After Shen Xuan read the letter, he invited Shen Zhou and handed the letter to him. After he finished reading it, he asked, "What do you think?"
Shen Zhou had watched Shen Zangfeng grow up. How could Shen Zhou not know the temperament of this nephew who had high hopes for him? Although this letter from home only described the whole incident in a very calm tone, Shen Zhou understood at a glance what Shen Zangfeng really wanted to say, or what he wanted to remind Shen Xuan.
He couldn't help but frown: "Is this really true? Mo Ye is young and has been bullied among the Di people. He may not have such courage?"
"It is precisely because I have been bullied that I have greater ambitions." Shen Xuan said disapprovingly, "And don't forget this Princess Mansha!"
Shen Xuan pointed to the letter and said happily, "Feng'er mentioned it twice. Ayitahu's little daughter is smart and good at planning, and is extremely loved and trusted by Ayitahu. A woman in the noble family of Di people. , has always been used for marriage. Even if the princess named Mansha is clever and is known as the most beautiful woman in Qiudi, she cannot escape. Even if Ayitahu needs her help, she will come to her from the king's tent. Choose a son-in-law and keep her by your side, but a princess is a princess! No matter I, Dawei, or Qiu Di, the Queen Mother Yan has the opportunity to rule in the court, but no princess can do this after all! Someone! I think Feng'er mentioned her deliberately because he suspected that Mansha might not be willing to just be a princess forever!"
"She wants to be the Great Chan, but she can't marry her brother." Shen Zhou sighed, "So she can only support her husband to take away her father's position as the Great Chanyu? Isn't she afraid that Mo Yeniao will die? Gong Zang? Besides, how does she know that Mo Ye can take over the position of Great Chanyu?"
Shen Xuan said calmly: "Second brother, please don't forget that Moye himself may not covet the position of the Great Shanyu!"
"So, it's very possible that Mansha knows Mo Ye's identity?" Shen Zhou was startled.
"Before Feng'er asked Mo Ye to take out the old things that Li Er had left in Xin Yi's hands when he was ignorant, but Mo Ye couldn't take out any of them." Shen Xuan showed a sarcastic look, "That time Feng'er He wrote a letter to me in private, and he was very suspicious of this matter. Now, in light of Mo Ye's marriage to Mansha, it seems that Feng'er's concerns are indeed correct!"
He glanced at his younger brother and said, "The fact that Moye is Li'er's biological flesh and blood spreads, and it has no real impact on Li'er today. But Musuer died in the hands of my Shen family, even if Ah The Yitahu tribe took the initiative to negotiate with us, which was out of necessity, and the peace talks were not surrender! After all, my Shen family is also a feud of the Di people. If Mo Ye is known to be a blood of the Shen family, how can he hope to ascend to the throne? The position of Shanyu? People in Di can accept that his biological father is a Wei man of unknown origin, but it is impossible to accept that his biological father is not only the Shen family, but also the eldest son of my Shen family, and he should be my Shen family! The eldest grandson of the concubine! I'm afraid he has already thought about the whole thing - I think Feng'er is already secretly investigating how Mo Ye saved his third daughter-in-law by such a coincidence, and what agreement Wu Gumeng made with him. what!"
... Due to the flaw that Moye destroyed everything related to his biological father Shen Zangli, Shen Zangfeng and Shen Xuan immediately realized that this was a game:
On the surface, this is what happened -
Qiudi split into two parts after his predecessor, Yu Mu Xiuer, was beheaded. Moye, who was skilled in archery, chose his uncle Ayitahu instead of his cousin Wugumeng. His reason was very good, because on the way to being chased by the Wei army, Mo Ye received the news that his mother was pushed out of the carriage. Mo Ye, who was eager to protect his mother, was blocked by the guards of the king's tent. In desperation, he killed the people who stopped him. His own royal guard.
In this way, Mushuer was naturally offended. So it is natural that Wugumeng Moye, as the eldest son of Mu Xiuer, is unhappy or afraid to continue to stay under his command.
So he naturally defected to Ayitahu.
Then Ayitahu was defeated at the hands of Hougomon several times, so that he was short of supplies and fell into crisis. At this time, Moye stood up and proposed peace with the Wei people. Taking advantage of the fact that the Wei people did not want to see Wugumeng destroy Ayitahu, he asked for help from the Wei people to fight against Wugumeng.
Since Di had just finished fighting the war with the Wei people, they were worried that the peace envoys would be killed if they were rejected. Therefore, Mo Ye took the initiative to ask Ying to handle this matter. Ayitahu was ill and sought medical treatment. Not only did he agree to his request, but he also promised that as long as his peace talks were successful, he would send Princess Mansha to him... Now things are going smoothly in Moye, and she still has money because of the "accident" The huge baggage obtained by rescuing the guard chief Ying was used as a betrothal gift, and the wedding date with Princess Mansha was finalized.
But from Shen Xuan and Shen Zangfeng's perspective, there was something fishy about this matter -
It is understandable that Moye defected to Ayitahu, but it is a bit strange that Ayitahu lost to Wugumeng several times in a row. Because Ayitahu was someone that Mushuer, the father of Hougomon, could not completely suppress at that time. When it came to fighting, Ayitahu's men were no worse than Hougomon's men. He also has more combat experience than Hougomon...
If the defeat last time was nothing, the continuous defeat, and even the baggage was plundered, causing the tribe that submitted to him to suddenly fall into the dilemma of lack of winter... This is strange.
If we count the time of Ayitahu's losing streak, it was right after Moye defected to him.
"Even now, it is impossible for Moye to have a say in Ayitahu's sending troops, let alone knowing the secret of Ayitahu's sending troops." Shen Zhou sighed, "But he has gained Ayitahu's trust and importance. But Princess Mansha can. It seems that this time Moye went to Diecuiguan for peace talks, revealing his identity and negotiating with Feng'er were secondary. In the final analysis, it was to marry Mansha, who had an appointment with him for a long time. After all, Mansha knew? His father's secrets were unlikely to be passed on. After Mansha passed the door, the young couple teamed up to dig into Ayitahu's corner. They didn't know if Ayitahu could see through it. …”
He didn't like what Mansha did. "For the sake of power, she would betray her own father. Mansha is such a ruthless woman!"
"Ruthless?" Shen Xuan laughed, "Mansha was deeply trusted by Ayitahu, but why did she start betraying her father after deserting to Ayitahu in Moye? What if she betrayed Ayitahu from the beginning? , I’m afraid Hougumeng would have taken the opportunity to kill Ayitahu!”
When Shen Zhou heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Li'er has raised a good son!" Shen Xuan said calmly, "So I explain that they can't pamper him too much in the future. He must be given some training before he can become a good son... First, convince Wu Gumeng about killing the guards of the royal tent. Let him go undercover, and then capture the heart of Princess Mansha, perhaps with power, freedom, or by yourself, and persuade Mansha to reveal Ayitahu's secret to him, forcing Ayitahu's tribe into a dilemma and having to embrace it. In the hope of an emergency, he agreed to send him to Diecuiguan for peace talks - here he used his identity as a descendant of the Shen family to blackmail our family into agreeing to peace talks. In the meantime, Wu Gumeng was asked to give up a bloody horse and a group of elite knights! , helped him save his third wife’s life!”
"Even if the peace talks fail, with his identity as a descendant of the Shen family and his kindness in openly saving the third daughter-in-law, he can at least bring back a batch of supplies that are urgently needed by the Ayitahu tribe, and he will not worry about attracting the attention of the whole clan! In short, Since he secretly designed the Ayitahu tribe to be short of winter supplies, it is impossible for him to suffer a loss during his trip to Diecuiguan!"
"Second brother, tell me, how can Mo Ye's scheming be compared to that of Ming'er, who is only a few years younger than him? I can't wait to start teaching Guang'er and the others right now!"
Shen Zhou's expression changed for a moment, and he said: "This indifferent and ambitious person has deep plans and doesn't seem to have much goodwill towards our Shen family. In my opinion, we should first instigate Li'er's spies in Xiliang!"
He sighed, "If Mo Ye insists on refusing to return to my Shen family, he will only die of a sudden illness, or his plot will be exposed and he will be murdered!"
Even though Mo Ye is a bloodline of the Shen family, neither Shen Xuan, who has been wary of their mother and son from the beginning, nor Shen Zhou, who has always felt pity for Mo Ye, do not want to hope for a person who is likely to be Ming Peitang. The enemy's people grew up.
"I think so too. Since you agree, just reply to Feng'er." Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
After all, Shen Zangfeng is Shen Zangli's younger brother, and he needs to take care of his elder brother. Even if he infers these inside information, he can only tell his father and uncle through hints, and wait for their father and uncle's orders to decide what to do - after all, he can't To be honest, I guess this nephew has evil intentions, and I suggest that our family kill him as soon as possible to avoid becoming a disaster to our family...
