Taiping Inn

When Xiao Yan began to pay attention to the messengers of the Central Plains, Li Xuandu was also understanding the details of Xiao Yan.

Although it is claimed that the Da Yan and the Xiao Yan are sisters of the same father and mother, if you think about it carefully, some places will not stand the scrutiny.

In fact, the Xiao Yan and the Da Yan family came from the same family, but they were not biological sisters, but cousins. The reason why the two are sisters of the same father and mother is that Xiao Yan's biological parents have a low status. If Xiao Yan is the younger sister of the Great Yan, it can enhance the identity of Xiao Yan and make it easier to marry. Give old sweat.

The Da Yan and the Xiao Yan are much different. In the words of the Central Plains, the Da Yan is the first wife of Lao Han, who is a few years younger than Lao Han, and is nearly 70 years old. The Xiao Yan It was only in his forties. The two were nearly thirty years apart. Although they were sisters, they were already two completely different generations. When Da Yan got married, the little Yan was not born, and even the son of Da Yan was Mingli Khan is older than Xiao Yan. It is conceivable that the relationship between the two is not related except from the same family. Instead, because of mutual favor, even the superficial sisters cannot maintain it.

It is not uncommon for two sisters to serve one husband together. To put it more deeply, let alone two sisters to serve one husband together, even two siblings, there is also a situation. At that time, there was a pair of siblings in the Murong family. The sister was charming and the younger brother was like a dragon yang. Both were included in the harem by the emperor. There was a song saying: "One female and one male, two fly into the purple palace." In addition, the aristocratic family married together. , It is a good relationship between two surnames, and there is also a saying that "sister dies and sister fills up the house", that is, after the sister dies, she will marry her sister to her brother-in-law. One is to continue the marriage relationship between the two families, and the other is to be the stepmother of the aunt , will not be slow to treat the children left by my sister. When Tian Khan killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate, he married his sister-in-law. It was not because of his lust, but because he wanted to use this method to win over the family behind his sister-in-law and continue the in-law relationship between the two families.

As for why the Xiao Yan clan married Lao Khan after the Da Yan clan many years, it is also closely related to the Da Yan clan. When Xiao Yan was fifteen years old, Da Yan fell seriously ill and his life was hanging on the line. At this time, the Da Yan family naturally did not want to give up their status as a clan, so they sent the young and beautiful Xiao Yan to the family. The golden tent of Lao Han. It happened that Lao Khan's four qi clans were hung in a single place at that time, so Lao Khan named his sister-in-law Zhuanqu and would promote him to the qi clan again when the qi clan died. At that time, I'm afraid that except for Myri Khan and Iri Khan, they had already regarded Da Yan as a dead man, just waiting for her to take her last breath. But the Da Yan family was probably stimulated by everyone's cold attitude, and they did not take their last breath. After more than a year of lingering in the sick bed, they gradually improved.

Because of this, Zhuanqu Yan was not promoted to the Da Yan clan, but because she was extremely favored by Lao Khan, she became more and more powerful in the royal court and was sister to the Da Yan clan, so she was called Xiao Yan clan. He is the second only to the Da Yan family. It is probably the relationship between the queen and the imperial concubine in the Central Plains palace, one is the chief queen and the other is the deputy queen.

However, after this, the Da Yan family not only had great hostility to the Xiao Yan family, but also despised the family that offered the Xiao Yan family to Lao Khan. But this is reasonable. It would be fine if my relatives didn't care about their life and death, but they were also thinking about how to let their sister marry her husband and take over her position to ensure that the family was prosperous. If it were anyone, they would not be completely indifferent. .

Because of this, the relationship between Xiao Yan and the family is getting deeper and deeper, while the Da Yan and the family are almost broken with the family. This can explain why Xiao Yan's power has increased over the years, and in addition to Lao Khan's favor, it is also indispensable. The strong support of the family behind it.

Many powerful and powerful people in the royal court did not know these secrets, and a considerable number of them were only circulated among the female relatives, so Li Xuan was considered to be right. Although Yue Jie did not get married, she was also within the scope of the female relatives. Many noble ladies learned about these secret pasts in their conversations.

In addition, it is the temperament of Xiao Yan. In the words of Yueli, she is a woman who is good at disguising. In the eyes of people who don’t know the details, she is a grassland woman who is completely opposite to the women in the Central Plains. The women in the Central Plains are gentle and as warm as water, while the women in the grassland are passionate as fire. He likes to hold banquets, horse racing, hunt, and even accompanied Lao Han on a war to suppress the rebellious tribe. For an emperor like Lao Khan who enjoys the honor of the world, the good or bad appearance of a woman is no longer the most important thing. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Yan's body that he felt the vitality of youth, so he especially favored Xiao Yan.

But in fact, Xiao Yan is a scheming person. Over the years, she has eliminated many opponents who are enemies with her, but has never touched the bottom line of Lao Han and cleared the way for Yao Mu Hu Han. It can be said that it was her. He supported the medicinal sweat to his current status. In Yuelibi's opinion, if Xiao Yan was not Lao Khan's concubine, but one of the five right kings with golden blood flowing on her body, Lao Khan would not have to choose at all and would directly designate her as the new Khan.

After listening to Yue Libie's introduction, Li Xuandu had already formed a general impression of Xiao Yanshi, and gradually made up his mind. If it were any other time, with the foundation of the Golden Tent, let alone the current Li Xuandu, even if Li Xuandu had set foot in the realm of immortality, it would not be possible to stir up too much trouble. But the time, the place and the people were all right. The old Khan was old and weak, and it seemed that his life was coming to an end. The kings were eyeing him covetously and were hostile to each other, which made the Golden Tent undercurrent surge, and there were signs that the tent was torn apart. The old Khan had been in office for sixty years, and it could be said that this happened only once in a sixty years. A huge empire was never broken from the outside, and the biggest crisis often came from the inside. For Li Xuandu, this was a godsend.

I think the old Khan also saw this point, so he asked for peace with Liaodong in order to safely pass the period of transition between the old and the new. It was precisely because of the old Khan's decision that Li Xuandu had the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Zheng just hopes that Li Xuandu can find out the truth about the royal court. The reason is that Zhao Zheng wants to give face to Li Xuandu and the Qin family. After all, Li Xuandu is the son-in-law of the Qin family, not Zhao Zheng's subordinate, so it is not good to ask too much. But from the previous plan, it is not as simple as finding out the truth to make Qin Qing decide to go out in person. It is likely that he wants to take the opportunity to disrupt the Golden Horde. After Li Xuandu finds out the truth about the royal court, he will not sit idly by and watch this excellent opportunity that only comes in a sixty-year age slip away.

Yue Libie's thoughts are even more complicated. She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a top smart person. From Li Xuandu's words and deeds, she has guessed what Li Xuandu is going to do, but she has to be on the same boat with Li Xuandu for various reasons. Not only is her life controlled by Li Xuandu, but she has also been saved by Li Xuandu more than once. You can imagine how complicated her mood is.

Yue Libie, as a member of the Yuejibe Khan family, like most of the powerful people, does not have much patriotism and does not want to die for the Golden Horde. However, she also understands the principle that the lips and teeth are cold. If the Golden Horde is broken, then the Golden Horde will not only be unable to go south to the Central Plains, but may also be counterattacked by the Central Plains people. Just as the Central Plains people cannot rely on the kindness of the Golden Horde people to seek a peaceful world, the Golden Horde people cannot rely on the Central Plains people to look down on the bitter and cold grassland. This is the fundamental contradiction between the two sides.

Yue Libie originally wanted to support Yaomuhu Khan to ascend to the position of Khan, so she would be satisfied whether she became a wife or the new Yuejibe Khan. Who would have thought that she would meet this mysterious Qin Gongzi, her confidants were killed, and she became his accomplice. The Central Plains people have an allusion called "serving the tiger as a ghost", which means that people who are eaten by tigers will become ghosts after death, and they specialize in luring people to be eaten by tigers. Yue Libie felt that this allusion was most appropriate for herself. Qin Xuance was a man-eating tiger, and she was a pitiful ghost.

Yue Libie felt complicated and could not help looking at the north gate of the royal court.

According to the time, Zixuebie Khan and Yuejibie Khan should be here. After all, Zixuebie Khan was her childhood friend, and Yuejibie Khan was her elder brother. Apart from them, Yue Libie did not know who to rely on.
