Juqu Mengxun, the lord of Beiliang Kingdom, was a heroic and wise monarch, but like the Great Tan, no matter how wise and strong he managed the country when he was young, he would end up suffering from illness in the end.
This Juqu Mengxun had been reported to be critically ill several times before Wei Guozheng Rouran. He was from Lu Shuihu, and Lu Shuihu generally believed in Buddhism, so there were so many monk doctors and mages in the palace that they could handle it. The life was saved, but even so, the voice of the domestic exchange of reserves has always been loud.
Juqu Mengxun is not only a hero, but also able to stretch and bend. After both Rouran and Xia were destroyed, he resolutely chose to vassal Wei State. Not only did he present jade seals, golden books and other items, but all the whole country changed the name of Liang Kingdom as "king" and called Tuoba Tao as "Great King". "The Great Khan" even sent messengers to congratulate Wei on his victory, and to marry his daughter Princess Xingping to Tuoba Tao.
Since the Queen of Wei was to see who was the first to "cast gold by hand", the monarch of Beiliang even summoned a lot of goldsmiths to teach his daughter the tricks of hand casting gold in China. And know.
The Northern Liang Kingdom is located at the intersection of the east and the west. As long as the Western Qin Dynasty and the Northern Liang are captured, the road from the Western Regions to the Central Plains will be smooth. Many materials that the Wei Kingdom cannot obtain domestically can be obtained through trade with the Western Regions. As soon as the country was destroyed, Tuoba Tao's next step was to accumulate national strength and prepare for the expedition to the west, but Meng Xun not only showed his weakness, but also unreservedly attached himself. He even considered himself the "King of Northern Liang". If you show it to other countries, it is impossible to go west again.
Tuoba Tao lacked a reason to attack.
Although the third prince, Juqu Mujian, was in the third class, his mother was humble. The two older brothers should have inherited the position of the first son, but Mengson's eldest son Zhengde and this son Xingguo both died in various accidents a few years ago. The noble prince Juqu Bodhi is still young, so there is a strong domestic voice for the establishment of the third prince as the prince.
In this case, if Juqu Muqian can win the support of Wei State, then the position of the prince may fall to his head. Although Beiliang had to pay taxes and tributes to Wei every year after returning to the annexation, and Wei also had to send troops to follow in battles, but after all, the national system was still there, and as long as Wei fell, it could rise again at any time.
Juqu Muqian was intelligent and eager to learn since he was a child. He believed in Buddhism and had a good personal relationship with many Buddhist monks. Because there were a large number of monks as his lobbyists, many nobles in the Northern Liang Kingdom supported him. It is also these nobles who use "Bodhi is young and the king is dying" as a reason to support him.
And Meng Xun actually agreed to Juqu Muqian as the ambassador of the mission, and the meaning of this is also worth pondering.
For Tuoba Tao, of course, he hoped that the young Bodhi would inherit the throne, so Beiliang would inevitably fall into the chaos of competing for the throne of the prince. At that time, as the monarch of the main country, he could justifiably send troops to quell the disputes.
Meng Xun wanted to marry Tuoba Tao's sister for his third son, but Tuoba Tao had no such thoughts at all. He wished to Juqu Muqian to be alone and widowed for life. This man was very ambitious. It is up for sale, hoping to find the most suitable wife, such a person can abandon his wife without hesitation.
What's more, according to the news from Beiliang, the third prince already had a favored concubine, Li Jingai, the daughter of the monarch of Xiliang who was destroyed by Beiliang. This princess was quite famous in her early years. Being asked to marry by the monarchs of various countries, if Xiliang hadn't been destroyed by Beiliang, I don't know who it would be.
With such a beautiful family, the possibility of being confused by beauty is very small. Even if you marry a princess, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty.
Juqu Muqian knew that the chances of him being able to successfully marry the Tuoba Xianbei clan daughter were very small, so he had to try his own way to get one or two. Meiyuan's blind date was his chance, and he realized that the importance of Helian Pearl was his intelligence. As for suppressing so many Xianbei Erlang, it was a demonstration of his strength.
If he can be powerful in Wei State, even if he can't marry the princess of the royal family, it is good to be able to provoke the relationship between Tuoba Tao and his confidant. As long as his father sees clearly what he is capable of, even if he fails to accomplish anything on this mission, as long as he shows that he is not weak towards Wei, it will be his turn to return to the position of the prince.
Whether winning or not, marrying a princess or not marrying a princess, Juqu Muqian is already invincible, so his actions in Meiyuan are very relaxed, and his attitude is not arrogant, but he is like this Winning all the time and winning, finally left a deep impression in the hearts of Xianbei people.
It is obviously much easier than before for the "Three Princes of Northern Liang" to communicate in the Wei Kingdom next.
He wanted Helian Mingzhu's hair, the same as he wanted "bead hairpins", "sachets", and "yingluo" before, each of which was meant to be married. Apart from Tuoba Tao, Helian Mingzhu had never seen such a cheeky person in his life, so he couldn't help turning his face black on the spot and coldly refused.
"Prince Mujian really exalts Mingzhu too much. Mingzhu is just a daughter of a ruined family and lost her country. She can't deserve the love of a prince. As for her hair, please don't mention it again!"
She was also a princess before. She knew that the famous beauty Li Jingai had already promised him ten years ago. She believed that her reputation was not as good as that of Li Jingai. He would be so courteous to her, It must be because her brother took Xi Qin, and Jian Feng pointed directly at Bei Liang.
It's just that his "affectionate" look is fine if he deceives other young princesses, but it would be extremely ridiculous in front of Helian Pearl.
Compared to Tuoba Tao, who had told her that he was bound to win over the Western Qin Dynasty, this kind of embarrassing behavior persecuted her in the public court made her almost nauseous.
Helian Mingzhu was unfamiliar with Wei Guo, and was embarrassed in her heart, and her eyes swept towards Hua Mulan involuntarily.
Hua Mulan is recognized as the number one among the younger generation of Wei State, if he can end up...
Helian Mingzhu's eyes swept towards Mulan, Juqu Mujian and some caring people saw it, and carefully paid attention to Hua Mulan's expression.
As long as the masters are aware of the gazes of others, this is the benefit of the five senses being sensitive. He Mulan almost immediately felt a hesitant look looking at her. She glanced sideways, only to see that Helian Mingzhu was biting her lip, almost biting her lower lip white. .
Juqu Mujian's teasing and hints to her are second, and what is more uncomfortable is probably the hostility and jealousy of other women towards Helian Mingzhu, the foreign princess, as well as their disapproval of her pretentiousness and unwillingness to give a lot of money to Qiao.
This is the glory of a woman, and it is a hero's act of affirming that you are a "beautiful" worthy of a match. Even if you cannot accept a marriage, it is always okay to show goodwill, right
With little effort, this man had already transferred Helian Mingzhu's relationship in the circle of Wei Guogui's female clan. Even if she could marry Wei Guolai, whether she could stand firm in the harem was a problem.
He Mulan didn't have such political literacy, and she couldn't see anything so far-reaching. She knew that Helian Mingzhu definitely didn't like this prince, and because of her "male appearance," she was already hostile to many women.
He Mulan is not a man, so he doesn't want to go off to compete for the limelight and cause trouble for himself. This is what Su Hejun also means, because at this time the folk customs are sturdy, and Xianbei women are even more enthusiastic and bold, doing everything in order to pursue the man they like. When it comes out, what will be night raids, drug administration, strong bondage...
If you are not careful, maybe her woman will be exposed.
Helian Mingzhu was embarrassed, Su Hejun was angry, He Mulan thought about it, and asked, "Now many Xianbei disciples have lost their ugliness, am I going to save one or two?"
While speaking, Juqu Muqian pushed a person out of the circle neatly and neatly.
"If you end, can you be sure of winning?"
Su Hejun glanced at Juqu Mujian's record for a while, and felt that this person was really scary, and couldn't help but ask He Mulan in awe.
"I don't think his footsteps are solid and he doesn't have any special skills. He probably follows the same path as me, that is to win with strength. Since he wins with strength, it is a competition of strength. I did not compare with him. However, I don't know how strong he is, so I don't know if he can win."
He Mulan carefully observed Juqu Mujian's skills and shook his head: "I may not be able to match him. If I played against seven or eight people, it would never be as easy as him. Sweaty."
When she was in the Montenegro camp, she also met with fellow robes, because she has always been powerful, and she played all kinds of wheel battles and one-to-two games, but later, her hands and feet were usually weak, and her limbs were limp.
A strong person is only strong. Physical strength and endurance are all based on daily exercise. Otherwise, Hua Mulan and He Mulan will not be so low in body fat, because they practice hard every day.
He Mulan has been exercising for two hours every morning. The real "smell the chicken and dance", the amount of exercise can be imagined.
When Su Hejun heard He Mulan said that he might not be able to keep up with him, he immediately stopped the idea of letting her go up to the third prince. If he can't win 100%, Mulan will become a stepping stone to his reputation.
They are unwilling to mix, but some people are unwilling to Juqu Muqian to win again.
The attendant on the Queen Mother Dou's side heard about the battle situation here, and the wise old man guessed Juqu Mujian's thoughts at once, and also knew that there are already many clan women who are afraid to ask him to marry him. If something scandalous happens, even if you don't marry the princess, you will marry the princess.
After thinking about it, she ordered a few powerful generals, so that they must suppress Juqu Mujian's momentum, even if they don't win, they can't lose again!
There were also several powerful and powerful characters present, most of whom died or divorced from their wives, and some who had very high requirements on the conditions of their wives. They held their own identities and did not want to go off the court. After receiving the will of the Queen Mother Dou, they had to put down their stature and go off to face a pair of Juqu Muqian.
Among them is Kumoti, who is in his twenties and has not yet married, and Lu Pi, who has now been named the "General of Ping desert" in Wei.
Of course, Kumoti also came, but he had no intention of marrying a wife. All Wei knew that he had been drinking with several relatives of the clan and his mother's clan. The Queen Mother Dou sent someone to find him and let him play. How could he not want to? , you can only drop the wine glass to the corner and reach the circle.
Lu Pi's ability to reach the angle ranked third in Rouran, the first is the dead ghost Fang, and the second is the general Li Jin who was shot through the head by Tuoba Tao's arrow. After the Queen Mother Dou found out about Lu Pi's power, she thought. Since he was already the general of Great Wei and the future leader of Rouran's surrender, he also issued an decree to show Wei's closeness to him.
Lu Pi didn't want to swim in this muddy water, but when the Empress Dowager Dou came forward, he had no choice but to end.
"You actually let King Yingchuan go! Who can please move him!"
Su Hejun was amazed.
"Lu Pi actually went too!"
Su Hejun couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the main seat of the flower platform.
In that position, the Queen Mother Dou sat steadily, as if not paying attention to the corner of the circle, and chatted with other ladies, but the palace servants who were serving by her side disappeared, where did they go? , Su Hejun will know by guessing.
"Mulan, look carefully and look for Juqu Muqian's weakness. If both King Yingchuan and Lu Pi lose, we can only pin our hopes on you. I hope this third prince is not as innocent as he has shown. Tired, in fact, already exhausted, otherwise... "
Su He Jun gritted his teeth inexplicably.
"Kou Tianshi is not here, or let him see if this Juqu Mujian has fallen into evil, so powerful!"
If the country of Beiliang has such a beating prince, it's a fart to surrender!
He Mulan knew that Kumoti was not a well-known person. He was now the head coach of the Montenegro camp, the directing clan of Tuoba Xianbei, and there were tens of thousands of tribesmen and grasslands and manors. , I don't know that this is just a few streets away from the prince's Juqu Muqian, and he will never play because of Helian Pearl.

Is that for Wei Guo's face
Or just itchy
As for Lu Pi, he was once defeated by her outside the Gaoche camp, but Jiao Di was not as good as her, and He Mulan had no hope that Lu Pi could win.
On this point, He Mulan guessed wrong.
Lu Pi would lose to him at the beginning, all because he underestimated the enemy. He was playing in Rouran since he was a child. Although no one dared to beat him as a prince, he was still there after all. At that time, Hua Mulan was just a little-known rising star. To the end, even the trembling voice fell down...
Since then, Lu Pi has put away his underestimation of the enemy, and he has become more cautious in dealing with the enemy. Therefore, as soon as he entered the field, he was not thrown out of the circle as He Mulan imagined. The winning He Mulan is more experienced than the others.
Lu Pi lasted longer than any other man before. He was agile and clinging to Juqu Muqian like a gecko, and he was pushed out of the circle about a quarter of an hour away.
Compared to the one that was thrown out in a short while before, it is really much better.
Many people even wondered if it was because the status of Lu Pi and Kumoti was much higher than that of the children who played before, so Juqu Muqian saved them face, and it took a quarter of an hour to lose.
Lu Pi and Kumoti have no personal friendship, but because they are both officials in the same dynasty, Lu Pi said something to Kumoti when he came off the court: "He is very strong, and he is unstable in the next game. But I am not using brute force. That way, there is really no way to take him."
"Thank you."
Kumoti nodded and passed him.
Before Kumoti came on stage, all the women present, whether they were Xianbei people or Hu people, burst into a frenzy of applause.
Not to mention the clan women, Kumoti is either their elder brother or their younger brother. This is the real family member. No matter how much Juqu Muqian arouses their goodwill, of course, he will help his family more.
Juqu Mujian was almost as beautiful as before, this man just showed his face, and almost suppressed the popularity he had accumulated before.
Kumoti didn't associate with foreign ministers, let alone foreign envoys, so Juqu Muqian knew who Kumoti was, but he had never met him, nor was he qualified to see him.
When he saw the man's respect for Kumoti and the woman's fanatical attitude towards Kumoti, he immediately raised his spirits and asked sternly: "You are a remarkable person at first glance, I don't know if you are... ?"
"Tuobati, my Xianbei name is Kumoti."
In the face of countless women's blushing, Kumoti took off his white clothes, stood naked on the field, clenched his fists, and moved his shoulders.
Looking at Juqu Muqian's ugly face, he said while flexing his muscles, "You don't have to be shy, even if I lose you here, I won't have any revenge."
What Juqu Muqian was afraid of was to offend these real dignitaries. He and Wu submitted it well, and naturally he knew that Wu Ti hated Lu Pi, and he was ruthless when he dealt with Lu Pi.
But Kumoti is the real commander of the army, and he is also the clan of Zhiqin. His mother's clan is the Qiuling clan, and he ranks second in power among the eight major clans of Xianbei. If he really wins, he has to worry about his revenge.
He originally guessed that these real characters would not end, nothing more than some hot-blooded young boys, and people who want to gain fame. He forced Helian Mingzhu step by step. In addition to trying to force Hua Mulan out of the siege, he also wanted Helian Mingzhu to understand that she could marry any country lord. It would be better if she could force other clan goddesses into confusion. .
Empress Dowager Dou knew of Kumoti's influence and called him up. No matter if Juqu Muqian won or not, he must be tied. How many women in Dawei wanted to be Kumoti's wives. If Juqu Mujian lost, it would be fine, but if he won, he would instantly become the public enemy of women.
Even in order to take into account Kumoti's feelings, the clan girl would not show goodwill to the foreign prince who had humiliated her brother, and embarrass Kumoti.
In this game, the Queen Mother Dou completely grasped Juqu Muqian's psychology and was about to make him fall.
Kumoti also knew that Empress Dowager Dou wanted to take advantage of his status and reputation. He respected the elder in his heart and didn't feel that he was designed. In addition, he didn't care about winning or losing, so his attitude was more natural.
In this way, Kumoti appeared confident and calm as a mountain, and took off his clothes to reveal his scars. In terms of potential, he was more oppressive than Juqu Muqian, whose skin was smooth and delicate.
The scars on Kumoti's body are from the age of fourteen, which was left by earning military merit in the military camp for nearly ten years. He lost his father at a young age, his father died and his mother married, and he grew into a good man with the care of the clan and the emperor. Apart from the shadow of his grandparents, he was more dependent on himself. This is the reason why many daughters want to marry him.
In addition, he spent so many years in the military camp, and he had neither a beautiful concubine nor a maid by his side, which made many women yearn for him, and their affection was overwhelming.
Great Wei Gao Fu Shuai vs Bei Liang Gao Fu Shuai.
Before the fight really started, Juqu Mu Qian had already wilted after weighing it.
"It turned out to be the famous King of Yingchuan." Juqu Muqian clasped his fists and saluted, "Although I can't wait to compete with you, but I have played against eight people in a row before, and I am really tired. I wonder if I can fight again another day? "
What he said is indeed the most appropriate reason. Anyone who wins eight consecutive corners will feel powerless...
- The premise is that Juqu Mu Qian has to show a tired look.
Seeing Juqu Muqian, whose face was not blushing or panting, was showing his weakness, Kumoti looked at his bare chest, and then at the appearance of the other party without a drop of sweat, raised his eyebrows suspiciously at him, and suddenly became excited. There was a screeching sound.
The meaning is obvious, 'I have taken off my clothes, you are telling me this? '
You don't look tired at all, okay
It was only at this moment that Juqu Mu Qian secretly complained in his heart, what was the feeling of shooting himself in the foot, he only felt it now.
The posture that was supposed to let him relax and win a beautiful posture has now become an obstacle for him to retreat from the meaningless battle.
He Mulan looked interesting from the side, Su Hejun also repeatedly lamented that Jiang was still old and hot.
It's just that this Jiang refers to Empress Dou instead of Kumoti.
No matter in terms of momentum or position, Kumoti firmly suppressed Juqu Muqian to the point of being breathless.
Perhaps Juqu Muqian realized that there was no way to retreat, so he gritted his teeth and accepted the challenge, but he opened his mouth to make a request.
"King Yingchuan is brave and fierce, and he is a rare rival in the world, and I have fought eight people in a row before, and I was at a disadvantage from the beginning, which is a bit unfair. I wonder if King Yingchuan would dare to gamble with me on the lottery, but also It's enough to convince me..."
Kumoti stood on the field and watched his various behaviors. He didn't agree first, but asked him quietly.
"what would you like?"
Everyone is thinking that Juqu Mujian will never ask Kumoti to marry Helian Mingzhu this time. Even Helian Mingzhu himself was so nervous that he rubbed his sleeves, but Juqu Mujian spoke loudly. He said, "I heard that King Yingchuan is very generous. If I win, I hope King Yingchuan can dig a Buddhist cave in Dunhuang and make offerings to hundreds of Buddha statues."
When this vow came out, everyone was baffled.
If he wanted beautiful women, BMWs, or even soldiers and slaves, others would not be so surprised, but if he wanted to dig a Buddhist cave, it would simply be a no-brainer.
Beginning in the former Qin Dynasty, most countries in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Northern Liang and the Sixteen Kingdoms believed in Buddhism. The Hu people believed that digging Buddhist caves could obtain the blessing of the Buddha, and making offerings to Buddha statues was protected by these Buddha statues. Much.
Just like the nobles of later generations like to go to temples to repay their vows and recast their golden bodies, the monks of this era like to persuade people to dig Buddhist caves, and then use the Buddhist caves as monks to engage in religious activities, store scriptures, and monks from the West. resting place.
Some monks even practiced, lived, and died in Buddhist caves, painting murals and leaving scriptures all their lives.
The aristocrats also like to shape the Buddha statues into their own appearance, in the hope that after death, they will be able to ascend to the blissful world with "wish power", and they will never tire of it.
There are countless Buddhist caves in the desert outside Dunhuang City, which are called "Mogao Grottoes", which means "high places in the desert", and there are countless other Buddhist caves.
Lushuihu people believe in Buddhism, and the prince of Beiliang country is even called "Bodhi". We can know Beiliang's respect for Buddhism, but Juqu Mujian is not a monk who came out to look for "supporters". People are very surprised!
It is not a small project to excavate Buddha statues in the desert. The cost of excavating Buddhist caves in the desert and molding a hundred Buddha statues of others, as well as the consumption of manpower and material resources, is enough to buy three thousand horses and equip one thousand knights.
Hearing this, Kumoti was amused, but he only thought that the prince's brain must be broken. He didn't believe in Buddhism, and he didn't want to waste money to build a Buddha statue of some other height.
But he didn't laugh at him, just smiled lightly: "You really want a lot of money, but if I win, what can I get?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a daring Xianbei woman shouted.
"Kumotti, if you win, I will marry you with all my wealth!"
As soon as this woman opened her mouth, other women spoke one after another.
"If you win, I'll go home and clean the bed!"
**Night is fine!
"If you don't dislike it, then I built the hundred Buddha statues in the Buddhist cave for you!"
At that time, there will be hundreds of Buddhas of Joy, the man will be you, the woman will be me... ah ha ha ha!
For a while, the chaotic voices were incessant, and Kumoti was amused for a while, and Juqu Muqian was also sullen as he squeezed out a few words.
"If you win, I will voluntarily stay in Wei State as a pledge!"
