Chapter 281: Think long-term

Zhu Mo Zhu Gongzi of Rouzhai is a famous white jade boy in the capital, with a handsome face and peach blossom eyes, this kind of person can be welcomed wherever he goes in Beijing, Zhu Mo of course did not disappoint everyone, often running around the streets and alleys of the green building gambling hall, this Quyang City, there are not a few places where he does not go.

It stands to reason that such a lively person should not disappear for more than a day, but recently, careful people will find that Bai Yu Gongzi has not come out to meet everyone for a few days.

The women in the Qinglou tavern miss the most, people like Zhu Mo who are generous and handsome, they can't wait to stretch their necks in anticipation.

The people in the gambling house also miss, I wish Mo not only good character, but also good gambling products, and he doesn't frown when he loses a thousand taels of money, and he still gives money with a smile, of course, occasionally with good luck, he will still win some back.

Not only these people of three religions and nine ranks, but also Gong Xiru and Bai Lang, also realized that something was wrong, the two of them hadn't seen Zhu Mo's people for several days.

Bai Lang was worried in his heart, so he proposed to go to the Rouzhai to have a look, afraid that something would happen.

Gong Xiru also had this intention in his heart, and the two went to Langzhai together.

It was Uncle Fu who came to answer the door, and he was also Zhu Mo's housekeeper, but before the two of them could speak, Uncle Fu said bluntly: "Master Hou and Young Master Bai are here to find my son-in-law, the son expected that you would come, and specially instructed the little one, and when I see the two, I will tell you not to worry, my son-in-law is only going out temporarily, and he will come back after a while." ”

"Out of town?" Bai Lang was shocked, although Zhu Mo often ran out, he would tell him and Gong Xiru where he was going every time. And generally find something delicious or fun, or a beauty.

Uncle Fu knew where he wanted to go, and explained with a smile: "Childe's distant relatives have come to look for him. said that there was something wrong with his hometown, but in the end it was a relative, although he had not been in contact for many years, and his son was not too cold, so he went in person. ”

Bai Lang suddenly said: "No wonder-" He said to Gong Xiru again: "Since I went to a relative's house, there is nothing to worry about, let's go back." ”

Gong Xiru nodded slightly. The two of them left with peace of mind.

When he was far away, Bai Lang smiled and said, "Zhu Mo has never talked to us about family matters, this time since he is a relative in his hometown." I'm afraid of what kind of uncle, when he comes back, I have to ask him, this guy has no conscience. More than ten years of friendship are still hidden. ”

Gong Xiru inexplicably glanced back at the door of the Rouzhai that was gradually closing. A look of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Bai Lang followed and turned back, the door was closed, but there was nothing special.

Gong Xiru frowned slightly, turned around and said: "If you go out of the door, why is it the housekeeper who comes to answer the door, when did Zhu Mo go out with Uncle Fu?" ”

"This-" Bai Lang also became strange when he mentioned this: "Yes, I didn't pay attention just now." Uncle Fu has taken care of Zhu Mo since he was a child, is there anything he can't know? What is Zhu Mo hiding from us? ”

It's useless to think about such a thing. Gong Xiru said lightly: "Forget it, I'll ask in person when he comes back." ”

Fuyuan withdrew his eyes from the crack in the door, and then hurried back to the house.

"Childe, it's the little marquis of the palace and the young master of the Bai family who are here, and the small ones have already been sent away."

Zhu Mo lay straight on the bed, his two eyebrows twisted together, "You go and guard the door again, in case it's Ling Wen, I sent a message to Fu Bo, asking him to go out of the palace today, Ling Wen said that he wants to see Fu Bo today, if he doesn't come, then how can I tell Fu Bo." ”

Fuyuan said yes, and hurried to the gate to guard.

It didn't take long to hear a knock on the door again, but fortunately, this time the door opened, and it was Ling Wen who Zhu Mo had been looking forward to.

Fuyuan hurriedly brought the person inside: "Childe has been talking about it for a long time, and said that if you don't come again, let me go to Moguan to find you." ”

Ling Wen snorted, "There are still people in the palace?" ”

Fu Yuan shook his head: "The palace door is open, and Gonggong Fu needs to ask the emperor to agree to leave the palace, and then go to the palace, at least for an hour." I'm afraid I'm on my way here. ”

Ling Wen nodded, and followed Fuyuan to Zhu Mo's bedroom.

Zhu Mo was boredom hanging on the edge of the bed, and when he saw two figures entering the house one after another, he turned over and said excitedly: "It's here, I'm in a hurry, you asked me to call Fuquan out, what do you want to tell him?" Did you persuade my father to cancel the idea of letting me marry Princess Haining? ”

"Yesβ€”" Ling Wen said.

Zhu Mo was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, let Ling Wen sit down and speak, and then asked, "How are you going to persuade your father?" ”

Ling Wen said with a smile: "The fourth master should wait for Father-in-law Fu to come." ”

"I just said that Zhu Gongzi is looking for me, it seems that there is someone else who wants to see me today." Fuquan stepped into the room with one foot and said with a smile.

Zhu Mo's face was suddenly happy, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Fu Bo, you are here, I have been waiting for a long time." ”

Fuquan laughed, his eyes were happy, but the number of etiquette was not wasted, and he respectfully saluted Zhu Mo, and then his eyes fell on Ling Wen's body, with judgment and vigilance.

Zhu Mo asked Fuquan to sit down and explained: "He is my person, and he also knows my identity, this time he wants to see Fu Bo, and he has something important to say to Fu Bo." ”

Fuquan looked at Ling Wen with an inexplicable smile: "I'm afraid it's not that I have something to say to me, but to say it to the one above." β€œ

Ling Wen's face moved slightly, and he said in his heart that this Fuquan really deserved to be the number one manager beside the emperor, but he said respectfully on his face: "Grass people Ling Wen has seen Gonggong Fu. ”

"Ling's surname? Are you the Ling family's house slave? Fuquan looked at Zhu Mo and asked silently.

Zhu Mo knew what he was worried about, and hurriedly said: "The Ling family doesn't know my identity, although he is the Ling family's house slave, but he is also my person, you can rest assured." I am the last one who wants the Ling family to know my identity. "Especially Ling Yatou.

Fuquan nodded, and didn't ask more questions on this issue, but asked why Zhu Mo asked him to come out.

"Actually-" Ling Wen took a step forward and arched his hand, "It was I who asked the fourth master to call Grandpa Fu out." It was for the marriage of the fourth master and Princess Haining. ”

Fuquan glanced at him lightly: "This matter is the emperor's decision, the emperor has the final say, even if you look for me, it's useless, I'm just like you, but a minion, do you still expect me to persuade the emperor?" ”

"Fu Bo-" Zhu Mo looked anxious: "I'm anxious to become a hot pot ant, you listen to him finish speaking." ”

Fuquan shook his head helplessly, and could only ask Ling Wen with a smile: "Say, if you have anything to say to the emperor?" ”

Ling Wen smiled slightly: "There are only four words, 'follow the trend'." ”

"Go with the flow?" Fuquan asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Mo was also confused, looking at Ling Wen and the others to explain.

Ling Wen slowly said the meaning of these four words: "In fact, the meaning of these four words is very simple, that is, let the emperor follow the situation, once he goes against the sky, it will inevitably cause great disaster." Gonggong Fu can go back to the palace and let the emperor send Jin Wei to investigate, and now the three kingdoms of Liao, Ya, and Zi in the southeast have privately formed an alliance, and each of the three kingdoms has sent 150,000 soldiers and horses to meet in Lu Yeβ€”β€”"

"Lu Ye?" Fuquan sat up straight in surprise, and said in disbelief: "The three kingdoms want to jointly attack Ningguo?" ”

Lu Ye is a vast field, across Lu Ye, to Lingshui, and then down the river, is the boundary of Ningguo.

"Exactly, the three kingdoms will jointly attack Ningguo, Ningguo will succeed or fail, if my Northern Qin marries Ningguo at this time, even though the emperor will not send troops to rescue, but the three kingdoms will not think like this, they will think that Northern Qin and Ningguo are in the same breath, just ask this, the three kingdoms will let my Northern Qin be safe and sound?"

Zhu Mo instantly figured out the key to it, "The Three Kingdoms will attack my Northern Qin, although Northern Qin can join forces with Ning Guo, but it is outnumbered, plus Ning Guo has just stabilized, and its combat effectiveness has decreased a lot, and we suffered disasters such as ground movement last year, and there may be a shortage of military salaries and food resources." If you really want to fight, the odds are really not good. ”

Ling Wen said: "The fourth master's analysis is very correct, so I asked Gonggong Fu to tell the emperor, a few days ago, the emperor mentioned the four princes in front of all the ministers, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the four princes, and this matter can definitely not be hidden from other big countries."

Gong Fu is in the palace, he should know that the little thing in the royal family, the towering palace wall can't stop it at all. Soon the big countries will know that there is still a fourth prince in Northern Qin, and maybe Chaohe will follow.

If Princess Haining is married to the four princes at this time, it will be equivalent to announcing the relationship between Northern Qin and Ning in front of the world. You say, Liao, Ya, and Zi will let Northern Qin go? ”

"yes, that's right." Zhu Mo couldn't help but applaud: "The Three Kingdoms fight the two countries, we are very lost, Fu Bo, you have to hurry into the palace and tell your father that since the Three Kingdoms are going to attack Ningguo, we had better stand by and watch, maybe we can still enjoy the benefits of a fisherman, and when the Three Kingdoms meet in Lu Ye, we will sneak attack from the rear."

I remember that Qianguo seems to have a big enmity with Liao, so it is better to tell Qianguo this news secretly, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to sneak attack, first, they can help us sneak attack, second, we can sell them a favor, and in the future, we will not be able to get back a lot of favors. ”

Fuquan looked at Zhu Mo in astonishment, and after a long time, his eyes were splashing with excitement, and he said with emotion: "The fourth prince has really grown up and knows how to think about these national affairs. ”

Zhu Mo said twice, and said angrily: "It seems that I am not much motivated, but I am also the fourth prince of this country, and I have the title of a prince, even if I pretend to be, I have to pretend to be worthy of this title." ”

"The emperor will be very happy to hear these words." Fuquan said sincerely, "Without further ado, then I will hurry back to the palace and tell the emperor these words." ”

"Father-in-law, please stay." Ling Wen stopped him and said: "Although it is not appropriate to marry Ning Guo at this time, it is absolutely impossible to tear your face with Ning Guo, this marriage was promised last year, if you regret it now, it will be extremely bad for Northern Qin's reputation among other countries."

If a country loses its promise, then other countries will not look down on us, but on the contrary, they will treat our country with the same hatred. Therefore, Princess Haining still has to marry into my Northern Qin. ”

Fuquan nodded and agreed: "What you said is very reasonable, once the matter of the three kingdoms joining forces to attack Ning State is exposed, and Northern Qin stops it very early, it will definitely be said that it is a country that is greedy for life and afraid of death and does not speak of trust." It seems that Princess Haining's marriage has to be considered in the long run. (To be continued.) )
