The real daughter is really not a human being

Chapter 162 I really don’t mean that

There had been constant wars for thousands of years, and they could only keep the Hu people outside the city gates but could not completely defeat them.

Of course, sometimes some cities would be occupied by the Hu people.

After the Hu people entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and basically left no one alive. Even if they took it back a few years later and recovered the lost territory, the damage caused to the border was difficult to make up for, as the people had died and the land had been barren for many years.

Whether it was fighting a war or rebuilding the old city, it would be an extremely damaging thing for the imperial court.

The Hu people in the north were not united, but were divided into many tribes, large and small.

There was a large tribe on the north side of the pass, and many small tribes scattered in the northwest. There had been friction in the northwest for many years, and there had been battles of varying sizes over the years, which had cost Dajin a lot of effort.

Even though there was no war at the North Gate, there were still a lot of frictions and quarrels occurred from time to time.

In short, this is the first time that the Beiguan Hu people have deployed troops since Hua Xiaoxian ascended the throne. After decades of recuperation, they must be stronger than before.

If a war breaks out and being pinned down in the battle between two sides is not a good thing for Dajin.

When the prince said these words, his eyes swept over Yaoguang, as if he was giving Yaoguang's background introduction.

Next, comes the key to the whole thing.

If it were just war, the tax revenue and grain of the Jin Dynasty in recent years would be sufficient and it would not be as stretched as before.

But today, an urgent report was sent from the border, saying that the Hu people were willing to establish friendly relations between the two countries and marry the princess of the Great Jin as their queen in order to ensure a hundred years of peace between the two tribes.

If a woman could be used to buy a hundred years of security at the border, it would be great for the people living there.

Even if this woman was his daughter, Hua Xiaoxian could still bear to give her up.

But he counted his daughters. Except for the third princess who was twenty years old and still unmarried, the fourth princess was only twelve years old.

Therefore, this time the marriage will most likely fall on the third brother.

Hearing this, Qiao Xun was slightly moved. Ling'er was going to marry? Was this the reason why His Majesty called him over?

"Your Majesty, I think that since the Hu people want to marry the princess, we should attach great importance to the friendship between our two countries..." Immediately, a minister stood up to support the marriage.

"Your Majesty, the Hu people have dispatched troops, which means they are not interested in marriage. What if they are setting a trap for us, luring the princess away, taking her as a hostage, and then fighting us? Wouldn't that be giving the Hu people a weak spot... Your Majesty, I am still able to mount a horse and fight. Please allow me to go to the border."

There were also generals who jumped out to fight.

"Your Majesty, the Hu people are not of our race and their hearts must be different! We cannot make peace with them, we must just fight them."

Seeing that Hua Xiaoxian didn't say anything, the ministers argued there without reaching a conclusion.

They quarreled for a while, and when they saw that Hua Xiaoxian had no intention of paying any attention to them, they quieted down.

"Your Majesty, please make your decision!"

"Your Majesty, please make your decision!"

Hua Xiaoxian didn't look at them, but looked at Yaoguang who was sitting next to him. He ate two pieces of dessert and drank a cup of tea. He didn't seem to be worried about this matter at all.

"Yaoguang, what do you think?" Hua Xiaoxian asked.

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes in the imperial study were focused on Yaoguang.

Yaoguang was called and answered honestly.

"War is not good. It will kill many people and pollute the environment..."

They naturally knew this, but it was not them who started the war, but the Hu people!

So, does Yaoguang also support the marriage?

If Miss Yaoguang supports the marriage, then the matter will be settled!

Everyone thought to themselves, thinking they had decided on the answer.

But Yaoguang hadn't finished her words yet. She paused and continued, "Just kill those who advocate war."

For Yaoguang, this was as simple as picking apples, just picking whichever ones were red.

A group of ministers who had just been clamoring for war suddenly felt a chill on their necks.

I heard that this Miss Yaoguang is not only extremely talented, but also has great martial arts skills and can fight ten people at the same time.

"The Hu people are all warlike and can never be killed." Hua Xiaoxian said.

Moreover, even if the Hu people are united, they will not have peace in the future because of such a deep blood feud, and will only hurt each other from generation to generation.

The only way is to turn all the Hu people into their subjects, but the Hu people are too barbaric and have no rules, so it would be difficult.

"Kill whoever is more belligerent, it's very simple!" Yaoguang reiterated.

Hua Xiaoxian also fell silent.

"I don't think they have come yet. Why don't we wait and see when they come. If they are sincere in forming an alliance and someone is willing to marry their king, then marry her. If no one is willing, then don't marry her. War is a matter for the future." Yaoguang said calmly.

I don't know why they are worrying about something that didn't happen.

But if a fight breaks out, she won't be worried.

After hearing these words, Hua Xiaoxian didn't say anything. He asked the ministers to leave, leaving behind the prince and Yaoguang and a few others.

"Qiao Aiqing, when Ling'er was stranded outside, you rescued her..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xun hurried forward and saluted.

"Let me ask you, do you have any feelings for Ling'er?" Hua Xiaoxian asked.

Ling'er has been back for a few years, and it is reasonable to choose a prince consort, but Ling'er has never chosen one. Not only that, she also visits the Qiao family from time to time.

Thinking of Yaoguang in that house and Qiao Xun who saved Ling'er, Hua Xiaoxian and Queen Dou both thought that there was affection between the two, so Ling'er would go there from time to time.

They were even ready to marry off their daughter.

Although the Qiao family's status is relatively low, they were able to raise such a capable Yaoguang. Princess Shang is capable of it!

But after waiting for so long, there was no news at all. I asked Ling'er, but she wouldn't tell me!

She said she just regarded Qiao Xun as a friend!

The emperor and Empress Dou thought that Ling'er had not yet come to her senses, so it would be fine to wait another year or two. Princesses of the royal family had no worries about getting married, but they were not in a hurry to get married.

But after waiting for a long time, this is what happened.

Hua Xiaoxian was really starting to get anxious.

He would rather marry Ling'er to Qiao Xun than marry her to Beiguan.

Not to mention that it was so far away, he would never see his daughter again in his life. Secondly, the Hu people were too crude, and even if the father died, the son could still inherit his wife.

The current Khan of the Hu people married the wife left by his biological father and had several children with her.

As an emperor, he could ignore these things for the sake of peace in the world.

But as a father, he couldn't bear to see his daughter marrying into such a hell.

So before the Hu envoy arrived, he wanted to ask Qiao Xun if he wanted to marry Ling'er!

Qiao Xun leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions towards the princess."

Hua Xiaoxian's expression changed instantly: "But I feel that my princess is not worthy of you!"

"That's not what I meant..." Qiao Xun explained the whole story awkwardly. On the way of escape, he treated Ling'er as his sister and had no other intentions.

Qiao Xun was embarrassed because he didn't say the word "brother".

Frankly speaking, he didn't regard Ling'er as a woman, but as his brother. Of course, he couldn't say that in front of His Majesty.
