The business wind has passed, and the wind is blowing and blowing. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Xinguo ushered in the spring of the new year.

Tianyue's expected letter of marriage proposal from Shang has not arrived for a long time.

What's going on?' Tian Yuan wondered in his heart. "You say, what's going on with the Shang Kingdom? Is there something wrong with them in the country? Could it be that the ninth prince who was the king of Shang is dead again?" He leaned on the arm of the chair with one arm, scratched his head, and asked the eldest brother Cong Hua who was sitting on the top and the second brother Tianyue beside him.

"Don't talk nonsense. Cong Hua said to Tian Yuan in a reproachful tone. Tian Yuan's temper is too straightforward, and he always speaks openly.

"Just kidding, it's just the three of us here. Tian Yuan stuck out his tongue and argued a few words for himself, but he still obediently shut up.

Cong Hua has a calm face, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and what he says is not a secret. Be cautious in everything.

He said it casually. Tianyue understood what the eldest brother meant, Tianyuan was this straight temper, and he couldn't hide what he had in his heart. He smiled and said to Tian Yuan, "Don't worry, the ninth prince of the Shang Kingdom, the King of Shang, is living well, and you don't have to worry about it." There were no major events in the Shang country. ”

"In that case, why didn't Shang Guo come to propose?" Tian Yuan was still thinking about the bet with Tianyue.

"This ......" Tianyue's eyes looked at Cong Hua, "probably because the Shang King hasn't decided who to choose......

Cong Hua was sitting precariously, his brows slightly locked.

"Big brother, didn't the people you sent to the Shang Kingdom bring back the news?" Tian Yuan asked.

Cong Hua put one arm on the table, tapped his fingers twice on the table, and said, "Most of the political ministers of the Shang State support Bo Gong, on the one hand, Bo Gong's ability is above Qingran, on the other hand, and the most important aspect, Bo Gong holds more than half of the military power of the Shang State. The commander of the Eagle Division, the most powerful army of the Shang Kingdom, was also his subordinate. In contrast, Qingran is too lonely. Except for being the biological son of the Shang king, he had almost no external forces to rely on. Without ability and power, even if the Shang King wanted him to inherit the throne, it would be very difficult. He knew very well that if Qing Ran did not have the ability and enough power to sit on this throne, then, even if he forcibly gave him the throne, it would be tantamount to sending him to the guillotine. I think what the king of Shang has to do now is how to cultivate his own power for Qingran that can compete with Bo Gong. This is not easy, besides, his son Qingran is very resistant to his father, I heard that since he entered the palace, he has not paid much attention to his father, and he is also very resistant to his identity as a prince. ”

"Once the mountain and grass people become phoenixes, it's too late to be happy, what is wrong with him? Tian Yuan was puzzled.

It seems that he has not been able to let go of his father's abandonment of his mother, leaving her alone to suffer in the mountains. ”

"It's not uncommon for princes to show mercy," Tian Yuan disagreed, "and he should be grateful to his mother for her belly." Otherwise, how could they have the rich life they have now. ”

"Qingran's thoughts are obviously different from yours. As a person who grew up in the palace, Cong Hua couldn't fully understand the thoughts of Ru Qingran's situation, but he seemed to have a trace of agreement with some of Qingran's practices.

"Did he wish his father was just a commoner? Tian Yuan continued.

Cong Hua did not answer.

Tianyue on the side asked Tianyuan, "What would you do if you were asked to be an ordinary civilian now?"

Tian Yuan was stunned by the question, "You suddenly asked me, how do I know." He said stunned.

"There is no wine, no one to serve, and I am running around every day for food and clothing. "The sky and the moon hypothesis.

"I can't take it. Tian Yuan looked up and imagined according to the description of Tianyue, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Qingran should be like this. In the eyes of others, he is a step to the sky, and the straw becomes Ganoderma lucidum. But for him, it may be stepping on a cloud, which seems wonderful, but it is not swaying. He has to face not only the change of identity and living environment, but also the torrent of politics that he never thought of, and the royal struggle that he is not familiar with. You know the cruelty of the royal struggle. ”

Tian Yuan nodded vigorously. He certainly knew the brutality of the royal struggle. When sleeping and drinking tea, you must guard against the cold arrows behind you, and you must be vigilant and walk on thin ice at all times. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

Therefore, it is normal for Qingran to resist. Tianyue expressed her understanding of Qingran's behavior. In the face of sudden wealth, not getting lost in it, this Qingran is not bad. A teenager who has always lived in the mountains, if he is suddenly given the status of the son of a wealthy businessman or an ordinary official, maybe he will be able to adapt. But it is indeed difficult to make him a prince of a country all at once.

Tian Yuan agreed with Tianyue's thoughts, and then asked, "Then what now." ”

"What to do?"

"Our marriage with the merchant state. ”

Tianyue smiled, "That's a matter of time, when their political situation is stable, there should be an answer." Whether it's Bo Gong or Qing Ran, are you worried that we Zi Mo won't be able to get married. ”

"I didn't say that. Tian Yuan stretched out his hand nervously, as if he wanted to press Tianyue's words back into Tianyue's mouth, and then hurriedly looked left and right, as if he was afraid that Zi Mo would suddenly appear and glared at him angrily. "I'm just in a hurry and want to know the outcome,...... But listen to what you mean, how does it seem that Zi Mo may end up marrying someone who is unexpectedly married to Qing Ran and Bo Gong. Tian Yuan asked suspiciously.

"It's not impossible, a year ago, we thought that Zi Mo would marry Bo Gong, but we didn't expect Qing Ran to appear. Tianyue shrugged his shoulders and stated a basic fact.

"Yes. Tian Yuan thought about it, no change now does not mean that there will be no change in the future, in just half a year, so many things suddenly happened in the Shang Kingdom, who can guarantee that similar things will not happen again. Tian Yuan's eyes rolled, and he asked his eldest brother Cong Hua, "Big brother, will Zi Mo marry one of the two people, Qingran and Bogong." ”

Cong Hua glanced at Tian Yuan, and according to the truth, "Now Bo Gong's voice in the Shang Kingdom is very high. ”

Hearing Cong Hua's answer, Tianyuan was very happy, which meant that his bet with Tianyue, his chances of winning were greatly improved, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Tianyue proudly.

Tianyue drank tea leisurely, as if she didn't care about Tianyuan's expression that I would win. Anyway, he won't lose if he wins or loses. He's happy to see things go further, and the more interesting the better.

As for Qingran...... Cong Hua fell into deep thought.

Shang's reaction was expected by him, and it was an open secret that Bo Gong wanted to inherit the throne. Even if the king of Shang wanted his son to be the heir, he could not help but consider the overall situation - whether his son could govern the Shang kingdom well.

According to the information obtained by Cong Hua, soon after the envoy of the Shang State left Xin, Qingran broke away from the envoy team and left alone, returning to the Shang State by another way. Previously, he left alone for nearly a month. During this period, no one knows where he went. After he returned to the palace of the king of Shang, he did not see the king of Shang, but stayed in the palace where his mother was and refused to come out.

Qingran's mother, Wang, was the daughter of a mountain hunter in the Shang Kingdom. The king of Shang, the ninth prince at that time, went hunting in the mountains, met her, and for her to hover in the mountains for more than a month, and then left with his entourage. Later, when Wang found out that he was pregnant, he gave birth to the child and raised it alone. After the ninth prince learned about this, he intended to take Wang's mother and son back to the mansion, but was rejected by Wang. The ninth prince became the king of Shang, and because he had no other heirs, he forcibly approached the palace of the Wang family and made him a concubine, so that Qingran would be the rightful heir. This Wang family entered the palace, lived in a simple place, except for her son, no one was seen, and the maids and others assigned to her could only serve from afar, and could not approach without permission.

It is almost impossible for such a mother and son to gain the trust of the courtiers of the Shang State. If the king of Shang thinks about the Shang country, sooner or later he will compromise for it and have to choose Bogong. Unless something else happens. Will there be any other changes?......

Tian Yuan and Tian Yue bet, Tian Yuan always loses more and wins less. This time, Cong Hua felt that Tianyuan's winning chance was very big. It was only a matter of time before Shang Guo chose to propose marriage to Xin Guo for Bo Gong. In any case, there is only one word that Xin Guo can do." ”
