Zhao Yongji was soon disappointed.

Because of the luncheon, King Qian and Zhou Rong held a banquet alone, and the children of these families ate together.

Because Shang's father Hu Jinsi had something important to discuss with the prince of Da Zhou, he did not continue to visit the garden after lunch.

On the Yingwu Palace, two rows of copper pillars filled with thousand-year-old ice slowly exude cool air, making the summer afternoon very comfortable and comfortable.

Zhou Rong and Qian Hongli sat side by side on the soft couch on the high platform.

Hu Jinsi sat cross-legged on the futon in the hall.

"Your Highness, tomorrow will be the auspicious day for the issuance of the golden seal of the Danshu. According to the practice of previous years, the specific process has already been drawn up, and you are invited to take a look. Hu Jinsi put the report on the tray and held it up to Zhou Rong by the waiter.

Zhou Rong unfolded the report, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "The process formulated by Father Shang is naturally good!, but this year's Danshu may be different from previous years!" Zhou Rong frowned slightly as he spoke, and said, "This palace also learned about it after reading the Danshu in the last few days. Tomorrow will naturally be the arrival of hundreds of civil and military officials, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. So Hongu thought about it, and discussed this matter with the two of you today. ”

Qian Hongyu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please speak!"

Zhou Rong smiled slightly and continued: "First, Your Majesty made this decision out of consideration for the safety of Wu Yueguo, but the title has changed, and all other honors remain the same! ”

As soon as Zhou Rong said this, even Hu Jinsi, who had always been calm, was slightly shocked.

What does it mean that the title has changed? Could it be that Da Zhou has the intention to regard Wu Yue as a country, rather than a small country to rely on?

Is marrying Wu Yue a guarantee or a condition of exchange!

There are no women of the right age in the royal family today. Could it be that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to choose a concubine from the family? The prince's marriage is a state affair, if he chooses a concubine from Wu Yue, how can he balance the various forces within the Great Zhou?

Qian Hongyu was also stunned for a moment before replying: "Wu Yue has relied on the blessing of Shangbang since the founding of the country, and the matter of the title is naturally decided by His Majesty Shangbang. As for His Royal Highness's desire to marry Wu Yue, it is naturally something that Xiao Wang can't ask for! It's just that there is no suitable woman in the royal family, so I don't know what His Highness plans to do?" If it is serious, then the matter of choosing a concubine should be treated as a major matter.

Zhou Rongyi raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard in this palace that Father Shang has a righteous girl who is thirteen years old, and her appearance is quite good, but it is suitable!

Hu Jinsi was guessing Zhou Rong's intentions. Suddenly I heard Zhou Rong talking about his righteous daughter!

Where is his righteous daughter!

But when I thought of the woman that Hu Qing and Zhou Rong were fighting for before. Hu Jinsi clenched his fists and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the old minister has never had a righteous daughter!"

"Oh!" Zhou Rong smiled slightly: "Then take one!"

"Huh?" Hu Jinsi looked up at Zhou Rong and saw his face determined and calm. Hu Jinsi thought in his heart, and sure enough, Mrs. Qingguo said it. Zhou Rong is also the age of blood and strength. I still can't pass the beauty pass. But Hu Qingchang is so old, but he hasn't asked his father for anything. If you agree to this, Zhou Rong. Wouldn't Hu Qing have a grudge for life? Besides, he is the crown prince, and he doesn't want as many beauties as he wants in the future. Why do you need to rob him with his son! Hu Jinsi took the doctrine and said: "I don't know which girl His Highness wants the old minister to accept as a righteous daughter!"

Seeing that Hu Jinsi had played a dumb riddle, Hu Rong smiled even more: "Naturally, she is the righteous sister of Second Master Hu! Actually, it doesn't matter if you accept it or not! She is Second Master Hu's sister-in-law, and you are Second Master Hu's father, so she is naturally your righteous daughter! Father Shang rest assured, I have already made this matter clear to the queen! It will not be long before she will make an edict! Tomorrow, the Japanese Palace will preach this matter in front of hundreds of officials! I hope that Father Hu Shangfu will be mentally prepared!"

You are forced to buy and sell!

Hu Jinsi felt that his cultivation and patience were beyond the reach of ordinary people, but when he heard Zhou Rong's words at this moment, his face was also flushed, wouldn't this be too deceitful: "Your Highness, marriage is a big event, it's not a child's play, I hope Your Highness thinks twice!"

You use your power to oppress people, and I Hu Jinsi can't let you snatch away the woman my son likes so easily!

"Father Shang's love for his son, this palace understands. But can you please make a decision after listening to the palace?" Zhou Rong put away his smile, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Lord Shang has gone through five dynasties, and his insight into world affairs is beyond the reach of this palace. This palace wants to ask Father Shang a few things, and I hope that Father Shang will tell him frankly. ”

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Father Shang, can you know about Li Yuzhen, the former Han Tianwei general?"

"Of course you know!"

"Then do you think General Tianwei will rebel?"

"This matter, the old minister does not dare to assert it! But it has been more than ten years, why does His Highness want to mention it?"

"Because the righteous daughter of Lord Shang's father is the orphan of General Tianwei!" Zhou Rong squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Jinsi with a solemn expression: "Although General Tianwei is dead, the people who are looking for that picture have not stopped. Presumably, Father Shang also knew what was going on before he could bear to sacrifice the Metropolitan Governor! Wu Yue's financial resources made many people jealous, and their ambition to annex Wu Yue never stopped. ”

Qian Hongyu looked at Hu Jinsi with a shocked expression. He originally thought that Wang Rui, the governor of Dadu, was really martyred. What the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty knows, he, the king, doesn't even know! It seems that he still needs more profound experience.

"Is there any evidence for what His Highness said?" Hu Jinsi's original anger turned into worry, if that woman was really the daughter of General Tianwei, it would definitely not work to marry Hu Qing.

"Father Shang can't trust this palace? If you can't believe it, why do you let your cronies block the sword for this palace! The current situation and world affairs, Lord Shang Father understands himself. Second Master Hu has a kind temperament, he shouldn't be involved!"

"Your Highness!" Hu Jinsi was a little speechless. This Zhou Rong can actually see through his heart, the twilight of the hero, the greatest wish is just to seek a peaceful situation for his young son.

"Father Shang, rest assured! This palace guarantees that no matter what the future situation is, there will definitely be no military revolution in the realm of Wu Yue!"

Hearing Zhou Rong's assurance, Hu Jinsi pondered for a moment and said: "Okay! The old minister listens to His Highness's orders! The old minister still has one more matter, and he wants to ask His Highness and the king to be gracious!" Hu Jinsi knelt down at Zhou Rong and Qian Hongyu as he spoke: "The old minister is old. The young son is weak, and he begs the king to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!"

"Father Shang!" Qian Hongyu suddenly became anxious: "You can't leave Wu Yue alone!"

"His Royal Highness is eloquent and wise, the king is young and wise, young and promising, and will naturally give Wu Yue a good prospect. It's time for the old minister to let go!" )
