When Fuxi went home and saw Tao Rui, he talked to him about his doubts.
"Brother, today the princess and I mentioned the prairie people. She doesn't seem to like them. Didn't you say that the prairie people are here to surrender?"
Tao Rui smiled and explained to her, "The former prairie people really meant to surrender, but now the person in power is the main combat faction. No matter what he did, he wanted to go to war privately."
The battle must be far away from the capital, but it is inevitably uncomfortable to mention it. Fuxi frowned and said, "These people are like bandits and robbers. They are too shameless." She sighed again. "The princess is too caring about everything. I look so distressed. She hates the prairie people. I'm still reading a book that records the habits of the prairie people. I think she still has prairie clothes there. She wants to help the emperor. If she is like other princesses, it might be a lot easier."
Without waiting for Tao Rui to speak, Fuxi laughed again, "But that would not be the third princess. I still like this princess. Brother, I will enter the palace early tomorrow. I want to be with the third princess."
Tao Rui asked thoughtfully: "You said there are prairie clothes in the third princess? Women's clothing?"
Fuxi nodded, "Yes, put it aside, I didn't look carefully, it's new, and it feels quite interesting the first time I see it."
Tao Rui asked again: "Does she know the prairie people well?"
"Very understanding, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, you go and rest."
Tao Rui sent Fuxi away and began to meditate alone.
It is true that the third princess is different from a boudoir girl like Fuxi, who will worry about a lot of things, but understanding the prairie people carefully and making prairie costumes is more than just worrying.
Ukdon, the new leader of the Tuoli tribe, is twenty-six years old. His wife died a year ago. He is likely to marry a princess on this trip to Beijing. The chaos pushed him onto his brother and promised that he would be strictly controlled when he returned, and he asked for Da Zhou's support.
Ukdon will use this to paralyze Da Zhou and get the benefits of Da Zhou's support. In the final attack, he will marry the princess who is back to worship the heavens, inspiring the military.
This is what the prairie people have done in the history of the dynasty, and it is impossible for the three princesses to guess. Then there is only one possibility for the behavior of the three princesses now, she did it voluntarily!
No one would die voluntarily, and the emperor would not agree to this kind of death without doubt for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Tao Rui thought of the high-strength martial arts that the three princesses had concealed extremely well, as well as many privately inconsistent strategies and intentions, and that they would not marry until they turned 20.
The upper rank of Ukdon may be a good time for the emperor and the three princesses to wait. The wolves thought that they would bring back a princess who had no power to bind the chicken, but the princess could do tricks on the dowry team and replace everyone who took them to the grassland. Sophisticated soldiers broke into the enemy and caught them by surprise.
Tao Rui always felt that the emperor loved the three princesses so much, he must have some thoughts. If it were not for the Great Zhou Guotai and Min'an, it would be too internal to recommend the queen to the throne. He felt that the emperor would even let the three princesses succeed.
Now his doubts are resolved. The emperor chose another place for the three princesses to be the king, and asked her to be the queen of the entire grassland. At that time, the whole Zhou will be the backup of the three princesses, and she can let go of her hands and feet to unify the grassland. !
Although it was only a little bit of information, Tao Rui felt that if he were the emperor, he would do it. This will not only regain the entire grassland, open up the territory to quell the border wars, but also let the three princesses stay in the history, and manage the entire grassland freely without any restriction. The three princesses will be truly respected by everyone, from the heart.
The fleeting years whispered: [Brother Rui, if all your guesses are true, then the three principals ran away, chasing them? ]
Tao Rui smiled, [chasing! If I guess correctly, then I might not find a daughter-in-law who suits me better than the third princess. Get ready, we are going to change the map. ]
Tao Rui didn't practice this night, he read all the written records about the grassland and border maps in the study.
The next day, he went directly to see the emperor, spread out the map and said that the border gate would definitely go to war. It's better to prepare in advance.
At first, the emperor thought he wanted to talk about Ukdon's wolf ambitions and how to guard against reception. He didn't expect that he suddenly said that he was arranging troops, and he said quite well. The question is, isn't this what the generals did? Tao Rui had always been a civil servant before.
However, the emperor quickly put aside these thoughts and listened intently to Tao Rui's plan.
The battle between the two armies is more than just the art of war. If you have a careful plan, your chances of winning will be greatly increased. Tao Rui's plan was thorough enough, beyond his imagination. After listening to it, he blurted out his compliments, "Wonderful! This is a wonderful plan!"
Tao Rui smiled and said: "So, no matter what request Ukdon makes to Da Zhou during this trip, I don't have to agree to Da Zhou. The higher the posture, the more beneficial to our plan."
The emperor looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Jinzhi seems to have something in his words. I don't know why Jinzhi suddenly became interested in the grassland and wanted to go out in person.
You know that there is no eye on the battlefield, and no matter how good your martial arts are, you are in danger of losing your life. You have been reunited with your family for only a few years. Do you want to take such a risk? "
"To protect the family and defend the country, Haoerlang should do his part. As the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can he watch outsiders invade our people? As for the Chen's family, they are at the feet of the emperor, and everything will be well. The minister is relieved."
The emperor nodded, thought about it, and walked a few steps, then said: "I have another plan. Maybe the three princesses go deep into the grassland and it will be easier to succeed."
Tao Rui didn't even ask his specific plan, but directly said: "So it is the three princesses who need to take risks. Even if we finally win, the climate and various conditions of the grassland are far inferior to the Central Plains. Is the emperor rest assured that the three princesses live on the grassland? "
Of course not at ease. Otherwise, the emperor would not let Tao Rui get along with the three princesses before. But his plan was actually to let Tao Rui go to the grassland with the three princesses. Together, the two of them would naturally manage the grassland. There is only one question, can the next emperor accommodate them?
This has always been a doubt in his heart.
The third princess was intelligent since he was a child. He loved the third princess not only because of the first queen, but also because the third princess was the smartest of all his children.
For so many years, he often regretted that the third princess was not a man, it was not that he favored sons over women, but that the people would not easily accept women as emperors. Great Zhou Guotaimin'an, he should focus on building the country, how can his daughter cause civil strife and deplete the country's vitality? And he was also afraid that he didn't have so much time to pave the way for his daughter, he was over fifty.
After the emperor was silent for a while, he suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Sincerely, what do you think of my body?"
Tao Rui immediately replied: "The emperor is in good health, and no one of his age can match it. The minister thought that the emperor would take his great-grandson on horseback and hunting in the future and share his family."
It may take more than ten years to see the great-grandson, and it will take at least thirty years for the great-grandson to ride and hunt. At the time he was 80 years old and could still ride a horse, Tao Rui was too confident in him.
The key emperor looked at Tao Rui's expression and found that he was not flattering. The emperor couldn't help but laughed, "It's always different from others, even those in the hospital dare not say anything to me."
Tao Rui curled up the corners of his mouth and joked: "If Chen says he knows how to face each other, does the emperor believe it?"
The emperor shook his head and laughed loudly, "You, only then do you look like a young man. Tell me, you are twenty, why haven't you married a wife and a concubine? Your grandfather is not in a hurry?"
"The minister's family values love and justice. The minister told them that the minister should find a person who agrees with each other, and be a companion for his whole life, not to be hasty, and ruin his life. It is also a coincidence that Xuanguo Gongfu fell to Xuanjin Bofu, and it happened to have ministers. The Chen's family experienced the shadow of his adoptive mother personally, and very much agreed with the Chen's ideas, so they never urged the marriage."
The two of you came and I talked so much, Tao Rui's mouth was very strict, and he didn't reveal his thoughts about the three princesses. But if he didn't disclose it, he made it clear that he did not want the third princess to marry to the grassland.
Fortunately, the emperor could fully understand the meaning behind the dialogue, and he secretly scolded him for being slippery, so he simply sent him to leave and think about it for himself.
Things have changed and there are many things to consider. As an emperor, every decision is not so easy. The only certainty is that his decision must be beneficial to the country.
After a long time, the emperor asked someone to find the five princes and took a test in person. The fifth prince is not yet ten years old, and his talents are moderate. From the emperor's point of view, if the fifth prince is fully cultivated and the fifth prince is not misled by others, he can be a defensive emperor and maintain the status quo in Da Zhou. .
The emperor saw the imperial doctor again and confirmed that his body was healthier than before, as if he was in his prime of life. Then he found the three princesses to have dinner together and told her what Tao Rui said.
The third princess quickly understood the meaning, but she was not happy, but hesitated on her face, "Emperor Father, will Master Tao be because of Emperor Father..."
The emperor smiled, "This is the first time I have seen you so unconfident. Yuxin, who is it? If he doesn't want to, even if I give a marriage, he can still refuse. Once he speaks, it must be in his heart. ."
The third princess blushed and lowered her head embarrassedly. If Tao Rui was interested, how could she not see it?
The emperor thought Tao Rui was very sensible, and the marriage was undecided. Isn't it an abrupt princess to let the princess see it so casually?
Because of his appreciation for Tao Rui, he changed the topic and suddenly said: "I want to personally lead the troops and go to the border to command operations. I hope you will go with him."
"Go together?" The three princesses looked up in surprise. If she went together, she would have entered the military camp. "Women disguise themselves as men?"
The emperor nodded, "This is my idea, how to choose, you consider yourself. If you are not at ease, it is also feasible according to our original plan. There is only one point, once you go to the battlefield, you must never reveal your identity. Ruo If you die in battle or fail to perform meritorious service, you are just'ill' in the palace for a few days.
Only if you make a great contribution can you return as a princess. "
The three princesses looked moved, "My son knows."
She got up and bowed to the ground solemnly, and bowed to the emperor, "I thank my father and the emperor!"
Needless to say, they all know how much they can do for each other, and they also know that everything needs to put their family, country, and the world first.
This may be the best opportunity, but also the most important opportunity. Once you choose, you can't afford to miss it.
Their fate will be rewritten at this moment.
