Concubine Biography

Chapter 69

"Alan, you go down first." The eldest princess said.

Alan was a little surprised, but she still didn't say anything, she nodded with a smile and jumped out.

"Your Majesty, I have something to talk to you about." The eldest princess looked directly at Li Jiarong, who was in the upper position.

Li Jia smiled and asked, "Is my sister talking as the eldest princess? Or as the princess of Nanjiang?"

Talking about it as the eldest princess, southern Xinjiang is a state matter, and she is not qualified to talk about it.But as the princess of Nanjiang... she can't exchange family affection for favorable conditions.

The eldest princess choked, gritted her teeth and went forward to bow down, "My wife wants to talk to the emperor about the southern border."

"Princess, please sit down." Li Jiarong was kind.

The eldest princess tried her best to calm her down. Before she returned to the capital, she knew that things would not be so easy, but...she had to do it. The future king of Nanjiang will be her son!

"Southern Border is located in a barbaric place. Although it has been the land of the Xi Dynasty since ancient times, it has always been ruled by the royal family elected by the local tribes. The terrain of Southern Border is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is no army guarding the Xi Dynasty, only one named The yamen barely maintains the dignity of the Xi Dynasty. This has been passed down from generation to generation, and now Southern Xinjiang is more like a vassal state of the Xi Dynasty than a county of the Xi Dynasty! So I chose to intermarry with the royal family of Southern Xinjiang to achieve control The purpose of southern Xinjiang."

The eldest princess spoke calmly, but her heart was extremely bitter. She was sent to southern Xinjiang under such circumstances.

"Of course, although the people in southern Xinjiang are brave, their living conditions are very difficult. They need food, cloth and other supplies from our dynasty. It is impossible to rebel. And the army of the Xi Dynasty is isolated from southern Xinjiang. It is not impossible to fight. But the casualties will be heavy, and it’s not worth fighting.”

Li Jiarong nodded, "The princess continues."

The eldest princess said bitterly, "Two years ago, some tribes in southern Xinjiang began to form an alliance to oppose the royal family. They were very powerful and almost seized the royal power. The king led his brothers to resist desperately and finally won. But the price was very high. Although the rebellion was suppressed, the vitality of the entire southern Xinjiang tribe was seriously injured. Recently, the alliance has shown signs of resurgence, so the king sent me back, and asked the emperor to read it out of brotherhood and help me in southern Xinjiang."

"Talk about brotherhood with me, huh?" Li Jiarong hummed lightly, with a rising sound at the end.

The eldest princess knew that she had said something wrong, so she said again, "It's my wife's slip of the tongue, please help me the royal family of Southern Xinjiang for the sake of the people of Southern Border as well as the people of Xi Dynasty!"

Li Jiarong said calmly, "It's okay to help Nanjiang. I want Nanjiang to open the channel and welcome our troops to station in Nanjiang. I also want to set up county offices in Nanjiang and call the sons of the princes of Nanjiang to Beijing to accompany the emperor."

The eldest princess's face turned pale immediately, "Your Majesty! The king is seriously injured, I'm afraid... the son is the one who will inherit the throne, how can he come to Beijing to accompany him!"

"If it wasn't for the death of the King of Southern Xinjiang, why would I let my son enter the capital?" Li Jiarong sneered.

"Your Majesty..." the Eldest Princess murmured.

Li Jiarong is determined to take back control of Southern Xinjiang!Her son is about to be the new king of southern Xinjiang. Once he enters Beijing, all tribes in southern Xinjiang will have no leader. At that time, the army of the Xi Dynasty will enter southern Xinjiang to quell the chaos. Although the chaos will be calmed down by then, there will be hostages. What else do those tribes in southern Xinjiang have? How can they resist the thousands of troops of the Xi Dynasty?
The eldest princess was caught in a painful entanglement, she didn't want her son to be kept as a hostage in the capital for the rest of his life!Her son should be the king, he is the king!Over the years, she has worked hard to build influence in southern Xinjiang, isn't it just for her son?how can!How could she be willing!

Li Jiarong watched the colorful changes on the face of the eldest princess and didn't rush her. Does a small southern Xinjiang really think that he is great because he proclaims himself a royal family?If he wanted to pacify the southern border, it would not be an easy task, but he would rather fight without blood than to shed blood in rivers and innocent people suffer.

What do you say that the men in southern Xinjiang are so brave that they would rather die than surrender!Where are there still some people who are ungrateful for profit?If these people are united, wouldn't those who claim to be royals also be unable to resist?He has been making this move for several years, and he is waiting to use this chess piece to level the southern border if he becomes the emperor in the future.If someone else wins the throne, Southern Border is where he retreats!
A slight smile appeared on Li Jiarong's face, the chess game had already been arranged, and it was just waiting for the finishing touches.

"Your Majesty," the Eldest Princess said again, "Alan is the daughter of the royal family, she is of royal blood, and she is also a saint of the tribe! My king is willing to present Alan as a gift to show my sincerity."

"Hey..." Li Jiarong snorted, "I will believe any woman who is said to be a royal daughter? What's the use of a saint? Is it worthy of the son of the southern border?"

The eldest princess turned cold, "All the tribes in southern Xinjiang have always believed in the moon god, and the saint is the messenger of the god. If there is any major event in the tribe, the saint's words are enough to completely deny the king's intentions. Your majesty, the saint will never be inferior to the prince! "

"But you don't believe in the Moon God," Li Jiarong was unmoved at all, "Once the king of Nanjiang dies, the son will take over as the king of Nanjiang, and you will be the wife of the regent. What kind of saint, you can make a dumb person at will."

"If the emperor insists on this, how about I stay with you?" The princess stood up and said coldly.

Li Jiarong played with the wrench of his thumb, "What do I want you to do? The princess also knows that with the current situation in southern Xinjiang, it is easy for me to flatten the southern border, but I don't want to harm the people. The princess has The saying is quite correct, the people of Southern Border are also the people of our dynasty, and as a ruler, I have to think about my people."

"Actually, I don't really want my son to come to Beijing..." Li Jiarong said these words slowly.

The eldest princess's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"You came this time just to let me issue an imperial decree to recognize the identity of the prince. Once the court recognizes the identity of the prince, those who are not responsible can also be silenced. If I use force at this moment, I'm afraid you will immediately Call on the entire southern border to resist and stand up for the son."

Seeing the eldest princess's complexion, Li Jiarong smiled lightly, "My sister and I are brothers and sisters after all, and my sister loves my son so much, how can I not fulfill it? The imperial decree is easy to say, and I will make a decree immediately and recognize the love of the son. name. And..."

Li Jiarong looked at the eldest princess, "The capital is far away from the southern border, and the mountain road is rugged. To protect the safety of the princess, I will send a team of 300 soldiers to escort the princess back. After all, the son is my nephew, so I will send these people Stay in Nanjiang, you can protect the safety of the son. The company will send two doctors to heal the king of Nanjiang, and take care of the son's body by the way. I have a benevolent heart, and my sister must understand it with her heart."

Send troops into southern Xinjiang, but also monitor her son!The eldest princess was furious.

Seeing this, Li Jiarong said again, "If the concubine is unwilling, then I can also decree to abolish the self-proclaimed throne of Southern Xinjiang. How can anyone in this world proclaim himself king? Since the founding of the Xi Dynasty, only the Li Family Children of the royal family can become kings. Sister... Although you are a married woman, in your bones, you are still a family member."

The eldest princess gasped, the royal family of Southern Xinjiang was elected by various ministries, and the court had never recognized it.It is also because of the injustice of the name that it is not right, so this time someone instigated the rebellion, which eventually turned into a rebellion to seize the throne.

If Li Jiarong is willing to recognize her son's position as the eldest son, then it is a matter of course for her son to inherit the throne!Li Jiarong was also reminding her that she was the eldest princess born of the first emperor, and half of her son had the blood of the Li family's royal family.

As for the three hundred sergeants...

Now she is really short of soldiers and horses, so let's save them and use them first, and then kill them one by one when they don't need them in the future!Finally, Li Jiarong breathed a sigh of relief, she could not give up the opportunity.

"Okay! Your Majesty, please keep your promise and make an order to straighten up my son." The Eldest Princess said with her head held high.

Li Jiarong said with a smile, "I keep my word."

Relieved, the eldest princess hesitated and said, "Alan was dedicated to the emperor, I don't know the emperor..."

Li Jiarong looked at her for a long time before saying, "Let the empress decide the matters of the harem."

Coming out of the Xuanming Hall, the eldest princess sighed deeply. Luckily, she would definitely suffer a loss if she was mentally prepared early in the morning. It was beyond her expectation to be able to negotiate like this. Don't care about other things. Let's get the imperial decree first.

Li Jiarong was also in a good mood. He arranged for 300 people to enter Southern Xinjiang openly and aboveboard. The inside and outside should cooperate. The situation in Southern Xinjiang will only develop more in line with his wishes.He has only been on the throne for the second year, and he doesn't want to give his subjects a bad reputation for being warlike, but he is just a prince. Southern Xinjiang is a county, and there is nothing wrong with letting that child be the prince of the county for the rest of his life.Step by step, Southern Border is under his control.

"Does the emperor really want to accept Princess Alan into the palace?" Xiao Qinzi asked worriedly, that princess...even he didn't look down on her.

Li Jiarong smiled lightly, "The queen is virtuous, it just depends on how the queen handles it."

In the evening, Li Jiarong went to Zhaoyang Palace as usual, just as he entered the palace gate, he saw a stumbling little man coming towards him, and the green shadow behind him stretched out his arms intently to protect him, it was Xiao Peiling .

Li Jiarong was overjoyed, picked him up and held him in his arms, Pei Ling suddenly rose from the ground, looked at Li Jiarong blankly, curled his mouth, pointed down and shouted, "Down! Down! Down... …”

Lu Ying bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, the little prince is going to walk on the ground."

"The sun is almost setting, so why go?" Li Jiarong twisted Pei Ling's body, kissed him and said, "We are going to have dinner, let's go, find your mother and concubine."

Pei Ling was in a hurry, and kept kicking Li Jiarong with her legs, her little face flushed, "Get down! Get down! Get down..."

"Stubborn boy!" Li Jiarong scolded with a smile, put Pei Ling on the ground, bent down and took his little hand, "Go, find your concubine mother."

"Feifeifei..." Peiling giggled and walked in staggeringly.

Fu'er, who was instructing Hongying to prepare the meal in the room, had heard the voices of the father and son, and rushed to the door, "I'm back!"

"Well," when they reached the threshold, Li Jiarong held Pei Ling's back collar with one hand, and directly carried Pei Ling in and put him on the kang.

Perhaps thinking it was fun, Pei Ling stood on the heated Kang and walked back and forth a few times, giggling for a while, then suddenly rushed towards Li Jiarong, "Feifeifei..."

Li Jiarong held him in his arms and patted his little butt lightly, "Call Father, come, call Father and I will take you flying."

Pei Ling grabbed Li Jiarong's skirt, exerted force on her calf, and pouted her buttocks up and down, "Feifeifei..."

Seeing that it was really not good, Fu'er winked at the nanny, "It's time for the little prince to eat."

The nanny hurriedly stepped forward, coaxed Pei Ling with toys in a low voice, and took Pei Ling to sit on a small table not far from Li Jiarong and Fu'er to feed Pei Ling while coaxing her.

Li Jiarong followed Pei Ling's eyes all the time, and did not look away until Pei Ling was eating peacefully.

"The big one is so stubborn, and I don't know if the little one looks like his brother." Li Jiarong touched Fu'er's belly and sighed.

Fu'er rubbed her belly, looked at Pei Ling not far away, her eyes were full of kindness, "He, he was very stubborn at such a young age, today he walked in the yard all afternoon, if anyone hugged him and helped him, he would Whoever kicks, has a bad temper."

Li Jiarong pulled her to sit at the dining table, "How can this be called a bad temper? This is called perseverance."

"When he grows up, you will be so used to him." Fu'er blamed with a smile.

At the same time, in Fengyi Palace, Su slammed the table and said angrily, "Send a barbarian girl into the palace? How shameless!"
