"Ah...Ji Shuai said this, but I really don't know how to reply for a while... I'm not to hide it, I'm going to say that Ling Yuan..."

After hearing Zike's words straight to the point, Li Tianqu, who had been acting generously for the past few days, could not help but show a bit shyness. However, on the surface, Li Tianqu seemed to be a ignorant young man who was suddenly asked about lifelong affairs and was a little cramped, but in fact, his sinister face in his heart also showed a stern smile.

No matter who is in his hands, you, Zike, will still be hit. And my behavior is indeed somewhat similar to Zhu Wen...

Li Tianqu thought to himself, because he knew very well according to the historical trajectory, Zike Rang betrothed his daughter to Zhu Jin, the cousin of Zhu Xuan, the neighboring Jiedushi. However, Zhu Jin was not drunk, and the people who were welcomed were all trusted soldiers, and they were hidden soldiers and armored in chariots and horses. On the day of marrying the bride, they suddenly launched a surprise attack, controlling the vassal government office and capturing Zike Rang. Zhu Jin thus seized his rule in Xiazhou Prefecture. He claimed that he was Liu Hou and controlled the balance and the two vassal states in Taining.

Li Tianqu's plan is of course to take advantage of the fact that before the Zicker returned to the east, the carriage that was returning to the east was passing by the Zhu brothers' balance of the land, and try to prompt Zicker to intentionally betroth his daughter to him. Then, he seized Zicker's Taining Army vassal state according to Zhu Jin's path!

Taking advantage of the marriage and marriage, he quickly controlled the plan to imprison the Jiedu of the vassal states and take over all the territory under the other party's rule. This is indeed a conspiracy. The feasibility, success rate, and the possibility of strong resistance from local military and civilians after forcibly annexing the other party's territory without bloodshed... These things have been verified by Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers in the official history. After Zikejie was seized in the history books, he disappeared from history books without strong resistance, and Zhu Jin took over the Taining Army smoothly.

So Li Tianqu understood that as long as Zike asked him to be willing to betroth his daughter, he would be able to do it in the same way and be more careful in the details of the planning and deployment.

Of course, Li Tianqu also knew that this plan was quite unethical. He was kind and sincerely willing to betroth his daughter, but took the opportunity to steal his territory directly. This was indeed too unauthentic.

If it were a different era background, Li Tianqu might not have adopted such an immoral plan. But what generation is there now? From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the five dynasties and the ten countries were killed by the strong, and the chaotic times of moral degradation, the foundation of the father-in-law would be cursed by the world? Which of the reputation of the overlords is innocent these days? Under the premise that the moral bottom line of some human nature cannot be broken, no matter whether it is the right path or evil path or open conspiracy, as long as you can maximize your own interests and defeat all opponents to gain the lead, it is the rule of this era!

However, not only Li Tianqu realized that he was in this era, he was no longer like himself. Zikejang would never know that the other party had planned to use marrying his daughter to seize his foundation from the beginning. Seeing Li Tianqu's reaction, Zikejang laughed out loud: "After all, men should get married, women should get married, I am not invisible to be a virtuous... Haha, it seems that it is not convenient to call Jieshuai a virtuous brother now. My little girl is already at the age of marriage, and she should also find a husband who is of equal status. And a virtuous nephew is a talented person and a good match for his daughter. You and I are both vassal states and Jiedushi. If you can become in-laws, Yicheng and Taining will form the friendship between Qin and Jin, and ask each other for support, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Zike Rang's words were sincere. He had originally planned to find a suitable family for his daughter to get married for two years, but he could not return to the Taining Army before. Instead of finding a family of officials in the court, it would be better to return to the vassal state under his control. Therefore, Zike Rang planned to find a suitable candidate from the neighboring vassal states and even the relatives of the clan, which would be of great benefit to consolidate his territory.

At least that's what Zickjean thought...

Li Tianqu could probably understand his intentions, and immediately stood up and bowed: "Meng Jieshuai's wrong love, and he was willing to make such a golden marriage. I will never let down Jieshuai's good intentions. But after a long time, I should also change the name Jieshuai's father-in-law..."

Zike Rang laughed when he heard this, and when he looked at Li Tianqu again, he was completely treating his son-in-law as his son-in-law, and he was even closer. After half an hour, until he personally sent Zike Rang out of the mansion, Li Tianqu watched him leave. Although there was still a smile on his face, the smile seemed a little sinister. Although Zike Rang was reluctant to do so, he was also using his daughter... But Li Tianqu still thought in his heart:

The heroes competed for the Central Plains... The competition among the various vassal states, and their relationship was that big fish ate small fish and small fish ate shrimps. After swallowing each other, only the last big fish was left, so that they could achieve the hegemony that ended the troubled times... It's just that you blamed the role of small shrimps among these vassal states. If I don't swallow you, you will fall into the stomachs of Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin brothers...

Even what I am about to do will inevitably be criticized. However, compared with the cost of doing this evil thing, if the cost and gains can be avoided by our soldiers, and it will hardly cause the people under the rule of the Taining Army to suffer war and war disasters, then they can immediately accept the military and civilians of the vassal states and annex large tracts of territory. Then is this conspiracy worth implementing?

Worth it, so worth it...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Although men and women in the Tang Dynasty chose their spouses relatively freely and boldly, they were much more open and even enlightened than the trends of later dynasties. However, the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker were still the common way to match the marriages of children in this era, so Zike's daughter Qi Yuyun also let her father take charge of her lifelong affairs.

Although the atmosphere of the prominent family still exists at this time, Li Tianqu’s ancestors have not had many great figures, but in the chaotic times, it has become the norm for the military academy to usurp the throne and fight for the military governor. Zikejun Yuxin and the old Tang history have never recorded his family background. Of course, his ancestors are not famous families. He and Li Tianqu are both judged by this generation, and they are also the governors of the neighboring vassal states, which is also a match between the same family.

Even if Li Tianqu’s appearance is not as good as Zijian and Pan An, he is still handsome and talks like a stream of words. Zike Rang’s daughter Qi Yuyun is well-behaved and decent. She was willing to listen to her father’s decision. At that young age, she was already famous for killing Huang Chao, and now she is even more dominant. Of course, she can also see the talented man who is even more famous in the world.

Therefore, when Zike Rang said she wanted to marry her to Li Tianqu, Qi Yuyun subconsciously shyly shook her head, then immediately thought about the past, and nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice. This marriage event was completely finalized.

A few days later, the banquet was set up in Baima City to celebrate, which was naturally even more festive, but many military generals under Li Tianqu’s command were still a little confused.

The attitude of the lord from the family to welcome Nazikjang was even more enthusiastic when interacting with Zhu Wen, Li Keyong and other vassal states, as well as the former benefactors Zhao Feng, Zhao Chang and others. Although they were not flattering, they still looked a little bit arrogant, like Wang Yanzhang, Zhang Guiba and others couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that even if Zikjang was a neighbor of the vassal state, it was reasonable to have a good relationship with each other, but he was not a respected and famous figure. The lord treated him so respectfully and politely, is that?

As a result, in just a few days, our lord became his son-in-law, Zikejang?

The cups were filled with laughter and joy. During the banquet, Huo Cun paused his elbow and held his cheek. He saw Zike's beloved daughter who wanted to marry to Li Tianqu, and he kept saying, "Tsk, it's up to be a family, but I really didn't see it. Lord... it turned out that he had a good meal?"

Wang Yanzhang, who had just picked up a bowl of wine and poured it into his mouth, couldn't help but cough when he heard this. He looked at Huo Cun, unable to think of the reason, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
