Chapter 93: Political Marriage

"I didn't expect that the prince would come to my Taishou Mansion as a guest in person, and he lost his welcome, and he lost his welcome! Please also ask the prince not to blame. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gongsun Yu personally came to the door to greet Liu Yi.

Liu Yi immediately got out of the car and arched his hand to Gongsun Yu: "Why should Taishou ask for guilt?" It's that the younger generation came uninvited, and didn't disturb the old lady, right? ”

"The old man had long planned to visit the prince later today, but he didn't expect the prince to come to visit in person so early. It's really a shame for the old man. ”

"Eh, Taishou is an elder, so naturally the younger generation should come to visit."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked into the Taishou Mansion together.

Liu Yi still has some respect for this old lady, not for anything else, just to say that during the period of Emperor Huan, Fuyu Wang Futai led an army of 20,000 into Kou Xuansu County, and Gongsun Yu personally went into battle and led the army to fight with it. As a result, the enemy was broken in a battle, more than 1,000 people were beheaded, and after this battle, Fu Yu no longer had the courage to dare to invade the Liaodong region of the Han Dynasty. Later, Goguryeo and Xianbei gradually became stronger, and Fuyu became weaker and weaker, and he was powerless to make trouble from then on.

Thinking of these old things, Liu Yi couldn't help but look at Gongsun Yu a few more times, now that he is over half a hundred years old, most of his beard is white. But a pair of eyes are shining, looking energetic, with the majestic momentum of "Lian Po is old, can he still eat", he is really worthy of being a figure who has been sitting in Xuansu County for decades, Liu Yi can't help but have some respect for him in his heart.

In fact, the current Gongsun Yu is also looking at Liu Yi carefully: he is dressed as an elegant Confucian scholar, looking very young, and he seems to be only in his early twenties. Although he has the bookish spirit of a scholar, his eyes reveal a resolute and murderous look, which is the temperament of a general who has been on the battlefield and killed people. Gongsun Taishou knew that this King of Luling resisted Zhang Jiaojun's entry into the Koujing division in Xingyang, as well as the deeds of breaking the elite of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou, Gongsun Yu looked at Liu Yi and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, he is a young man, if this person can succeed to the throne, it must be a blessing for the people of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi looked at the layout of the Taishou Mansion again, although this Taishou Mansion is very huge, whether it is the building or the furnishings, it can only be said to be average, and there is no feeling of richness and luxury. Liu Yi had been to the Wang family before, and the courtyard of the Wang family's mansion was more gorgeous than the Taishou Mansion. This Gongsun Taishou has been the emperor of Xuansu County for so many years, not only does his Taishou Mansion look light and elegant, but even the people of Liaodong respect him a lot, but he is also a rare good Taishou.

The two walked into the main hall and sat down when they reached the first seat. Gongsun Taishou ordered his subordinates to serve tea to the king of Luling.

"If the old man is not mistaken, this should be the second time the prince has come to our Xuansu County, right?" Gongsun Yu stroked his silver beard and asked with a smile.

"Yes, the last time was before the summer of this year, when the royal sister had just married into the royal family. The younger generation came to Xuansu County with the royal sister, wanting to see the water and customs of this side. Liu Yi took a cup of warm tea from the maid's hand, "It's just that the last time I came and went in a hurry, I didn't stay for a while, and I didn't come to visit the old lady, and I asked the old lady not to be surprised." ”

Gongsun Yu smiled politely: "The prince is too old, the old man has already met with the prince that day, and he should have come to talk to the prince again the next day, but it's a pity...... This man is old, and his body is not very sharp, and when the princess went back on the day of her wedding, she contracted a little wind chill and traveled on the couch for a few more days. ”

"The old lady has guarded Liaodong for many years, and has made great contributions to the imperial court. Liu Yi was slightly unhappy in his heart: just at the beginning, this old lady wanted to lead the topic to the problem of his poor health when he was old, did he want to tell himself: He doesn't want to take care of things anymore when he is old? Leave the problem of Liaodong to solve it on his own? Liu Yi frowned: That can't be so cheap for him, I came to pull him in! In this place, without the support of the old lady, it is really not easy for him Liu Yi to settle the problem of Xianbei alone.

However, from the perspective of the younger generation, although the old lady is over half a hundred years old, he is in good spirits and has a lot of integrity. The younger generation really hopes to learn more from the old lady. Liu Yi simply picked out the topic, and the first thing he wanted to be clear at the moment was: This Gongsun Domain has "dominated" Liaodong for decades, does it have any intention of separating one side? If he has this intention, then it is naturally impossible for him to get his help, but I am afraid that people will still think about how to get rid of him.

However, Gongsun Yu can have a good reputation for so many years because he is still very loyal to the Han in his heart, but it is also a fact that the world of the Han is in danger. The old lady has lived for so many years, but the only sister-in-law under his knee died unexpectedly, which made him disheartened, although he later recognized Gongsun Du as his righteous son, but after all, it was not his own son, and Gongsun Du had no talent. Now the situation around Xuansu County is grim, although the old lady is still a little tough, but he has also heard of the saint's misdeeds in the palace over the years, and his heart is even colder.

He just mentioned that he was old, and he just wanted to vaguely say that he didn't want to cause any trouble, since the king of Luling came, then he just handed over these problems to Liu Yi, what about himself? On the grounds of old age, enjoy the blessings, and even resign from the official position.

But Liu Yi's words of "I hope to learn more from the old lady" made him happy again: he was already very satisfied with this young and promising prince, but now Liu Yi obviously relies on him a little. It shows that this late student is not only talented and practical, but also knows how to be humble and can treat the old man respectfully.

"Don't dare, don't dare, old and old, I'm afraid I can't afford to be reused." Gongsun Yu was still saying words of shirk, but his eyes were already a little happy.

"What do you mean? The younger generation is very respectful of Taishou, who once wrote a 10,000-word table to the emperor, showing the pros and cons of the world; King Fuyu led a crowd of 20,000 Kou Xuansu, who was too guarded and took the lead, taking the lead, and breaking the thief Kou ...... These deeds are still vivid in the minds of the younger generations. Liu Yi said, not only raising his tone, but also looking at Gongsun Yu with some excitement.

Gongsun Yu didn't expect this little prince to take out these old things to compliment him, and he was naturally very satisfied, he smiled and said: "How can the old prince be so respectful? The prince is young and promising, and this year he broke the yellow scarf, which made the people of the world appreciate, how dare he compare with the prince for his little merit? Gongsun Yu also said modestly.

"Don't think so about Taishou, if the former emperor and the current saints read the books of Taishou, I'm afraid that the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Thieves will not break out this year." Liu Yi sighed.

"Shame on old decay." Gongsun Yu has already recognized Liu Yi in his heart, since the prince has already expressed his attitude, then he should also make a statement, "If the old decay is still useful, then even if you fight this old bone, you have to contribute to our big man." ”

"Too high-minded, the younger generation admires it." Liu Yi smiled, if Gongsun Yu could help him clearly, then it would be much easier to deal with Xianbei. It's just empty words, I don't know how Gongsun Taishou will help him next? Liu Yi was puzzled.

"Lord Wang, there is Goguryeo in the east of Xuansu County, and Xianbei in the north, and now these two forces have the intention of entering the army. Since you are a general of the expedition to the north, you should be extremely vigilant, our Xuansu County does not have many troops, so we can't attack easily. Gongsun Yu said. Yesterday's assassins, in the eyes of the old decay, were sent by the leader of the Xianbei people and Lian Lian, because the Xianbei people were ready to move. Goguryeo was suppressed by the arrogance of the Xianbei people, so there would be no movement for the time being. ”

"What the old lady said is very true, but if it is an invasion of Xianbei and Lian...... If we can't mobilize troops to deal with them in a short period of time, I'm afraid that Xuansu County won't be able to hold it? ”

"Don't worry about the prince, the wealthy families in Xuansu County still have to sell their old decay to save face. We can start from the near future, let each family send a certain number of private soldiers, train these private soldiers as regular soldiers, and when the time comes, at least one or two thousand people can be expanded, the prince just wants to take the initiative to attack, and there are enough troops. Gongsun Yu talked eloquently.

When Liu Yi heard this, he was suspicious in his heart: Can this Taishou take the initiative to help him solve the problem of private soldiers? Although he didn't question Gongsun Yu's loyalty to the Great Han, it was also a strange thing that Lao Tai Shou was willing to help him based on the few words of conversation just now. I'm afraid that he has other plans, or just talks about himself.

Gongsun Yu looked at Liu Yi, although Liu Yi was silent on the surface, but Gongsun Yu had been an official for many years, how could he not see his doubts? Gongsun Yu chuckled and stroked the silver-white beard under his chin: "However, Lord Wang." The old man still has one thing to ask for, I don't know if the prince is willing to accept it? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi was a little relieved, and if he could ask for something, it would prove that he was sincere in helping himself. "Although the old lady keeps orders, the younger generation will do their best."

Gongsun Taishou listened to Liu Yi's reply, and naturally smiled: "Okay, good ......" Then he said to the maid: "Go and call Fang'er up and let her come to see the prince." The maid heard this, and hurriedly left.

Liu Yi figured it out: looking at this, Gongsun Taishou is planning to swear by a marriage contract. To be honest, when he was in Luoyang, many dignitaries wanted to marry him, but he refused. Although Gongsun Yu is just a small Taishou, his status is completely different from those officials in the capital, and he still respects such an old man very much, how can he refuse this family matter?

Liu Yi is a very free and easy person, he will not indulge in women, so if you consider the relationship with Gongsun Taishou and for his future development in Liaodong, it doesn't matter if you marry another woman. It's just that Xu Rong's face suddenly appeared in his mind: just brought Rong'er into the General's Mansion, if he married another woman immediately, wouldn't he be sorry for Rong'er?

Gongsun Yu already knew these reasons, and he enlightened: "Lord Wang, if a man stands in heaven and earth, how can he abolish his son because of his children's private feelings? The old man also knows that you have just welcomed the little lady into the mansion, but everything should be based on state affairs, if the little girl does not enter the eyes of the prince, the prince will also imitate the daughter of the Guangwu Naguo family, don't be obsessed. His earnest teachings are completely like the words of an old man to a junior.

But when Liu Yi heard it, he couldn't refuse: This is obvious, this is a political marriage, and even Gongsun Lao Taishou said this allusion to Emperor Guangwu and Guo Shengtong, which shows Lao Taishou's expectations for himself. Talk about yourself and Emperor Guangwu...... It seems that the old lady has too high expectations of herself. However, he, Liu Yi, is a person who wants to revive the Han Dynasty, and he really can't abolish the public for personal reasons.

Gongsun Yu looked at Liu Yi's eyes and gradually calmed down, but smiled: "But the prince doesn't have to worry too much, the prince's wife Xu, she also has a second sister, who married the old son as a concubine two years ago, and now she is the concubine in my palace." The little girl Fang'er gets along very well with her, and if she marries into the General's Mansion in the future, she can also be a companion with the Xu family. ”

Liu Yi listened and nodded: He didn't worry too much about anything else, but he had already taken Xu Rong as his wife, and if Taishou's daughter married in, she could only be a concubine anyway, wouldn't that be too wronged? Thinking of this, he said tactfully: "Lord Taishou's good intentions junior will naturally not shirk it, but the younger generation already has a wife......

"The prince doesn't have to worry, even if the little girl gives the prince a concubine, it will be a blessing for the little girl. I hope that the prince will not push back. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's the beloved daughter who has wronged Taishou."

"Don't think so, the prince's character is old and trustworthy, and he will never treat the little girl badly." Gongsun Taishou said, smiling heartily.

Liu Yi thought about it, it seems that the old lady doesn't mind her daughter being a concubine at all, everyone has said this, how can she not accept it? "Then the younger generation will thank the old lady for keeping love."

Between the words, Miss Gongsun has already walked into the main hall with the maid, her appearance is delicate and delicate, and her appearance is graceful, although her facial features are not as delicate as Xu Rong's, but she has a mature charm that Xu Rong does not have.

"This is the youngest daughter of the old man, Fang'er. It's just over 18 this year, hehe...... Originally, he should have married earlier, but the old man and the clumsy Jing loved this old girl very much, and wanted to stay with him for a few more years, but left the girl old. What do you think, lord? Gongsun Taishou said jokingly to Liu Yi.

"This ...... Taishou's beloved daughter is really beautiful and extraordinary, how can there be an old word? Liu Yi smiled and nodded.

When Gongsun Fang heard this, her face turned red with shame, "Fang'er, don't come here to get to know the prince." Listening to her father's instructions, Gongsun Fanglian moved lightly and walked in front of Liu Yi, slightly blessed.

"The little girl Gongsun Fang, I have seen the prince, the prince Jin'an."

"Don't be polite." Liu Yi hurriedly asked her to get up.

Immediately, Gongsun Taishou let his daughter go down, and then discussed with Liu Yi about the auspicious day of marriage, because the purpose of the two was not to get married, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the date was set three days later.

Gongsun Fang walked out of the main hall, her heart was like a deer, she didn't expect that the King of Luling, who was mighty in the world, was still such an elegant and handsome young man, but when she met her in a hurry, she was full of joy. Thinking that she would marry him in three days, Gongsun Fang was very happy, she really didn't expect that because she didn't want to marry, she would be able to meet such a lover at the age of eighteen.

Her maid Ling Xiao has followed her since she was five years old, looked at the young lady's heart-warming appearance, and said with a smile: "Miss originally didn't want to marry the king of Luling, but I really didn't expect that after meeting the prince himself, the young lady would look like this." ”

Gongsun Fang glared at Ling Xiao lightly and said, "This is not allowed to be mentioned in the future, but this girl is a thousand satisfied now." ”

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and nodded, how could she not know Miss's thoughts? Originally, I heard that the king of Luling had great military achievements, and he was almost thirty years old, and some folk rumors said that he was infinitely powerful, and thought that the king of Luling was an ugly man with a sloppy beard, but he didn't expect that he was a young man, and if he was any woman in the world, he would definitely be satisfied.

"Still, miss...... You married in the past, but you were a concubine? When Ling Xiao said this, his face was worried.

"Hmph, I'm still afraid of that merchant's daughter? Her second sister can show off her power in the mansion, because Miss Ben knows that sooner or later she will get married, and there is no need to conflict with her. But if Miss Ben really wants to fight her, she is just a fool with brute strength. As for her stupid sister, this girl can't even take it seriously! Gongsun Fang said viciously, since the prince has a wife, then find a way to get rid of his wife, and he can still become the prince's wife in the future!
