Chapter 104: Secret

"Pony?"

Gongsun Du felt a terrible headache, and he still couldn't believe that this was the truth, and read the letter again from beginning to end, but there was no miracle happening, and it still meant the same - he was going to be a concubine, and the object was Liu Lan, the daughter of the acting king.

Finally, at the end of the letter, there is a warning from Gongsun Yan:

"Du'er, there is a way that the king's order cannot be violated, and besides, being able to win the favor of the princess is really a blessing from the ancestors of my grandson's family for three generations. If Ah Qiu (grandma) is still here, I will be happy for you! ”

What the heck?

said as if he would definitely resist the decree and disrespect, which made Gongsun Du feel extremely helpless.

However, if you think about it, it's really possible, otherwise he wouldn't have a headache. Not to mention that he only picks others in his heart, and no one else picks his share, let's talk about the identity of the person who picks him, Liu! Or the daughter of the acting king! This proper royal identity cannot be faked at all. It's nothing to say that he feels really loyal to the Liu family, but the problem is that there are ghosts in his heart!

What the hell, naturally it's a ghost who wants to rebel! Wrong, why hasn't Xu Rong worshiped him as the Lord? Isn't it because Gongsun Du deliberately noticed his disobedience!

Gongsun Du thought for a while and said, "Come on!" ”

"Lord!"

"Quickly recruit Wei Yu and Zhang Hong!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The soldiers left, Gongsun Du wrote a reply, as a son, how could he not greet his father's current situation, and at the same time vaguely expressed the meaning of his will. I believe that Gongsun Yan will be very satisfied after seeing it, and some other people will also be satisfied.

As soon as the ink dried, I heard a report from my own soldiers: "Lord, Lord Wei You and Master Zhang Hong have arrived." ”

"Come in!" Gongsun Du replied while folding the reply letter and putting it in the envelope.

"Your Excellency!" Wei You and Zhang Hong entered the study and immediately bowed.

"Hmmm! All sit! Gongsun Du nodded and said. For Zhang Hong still has not been able to worship him as the Lord, there is no dissatisfaction, Gongsun Du knows in his heart that anyone who asks himself some ability will not worship the Lord easily, not to mention that Zhang Hong is such a talent, although he has not fully grown up, but it is still not to be underestimated. As for Liu Yi and the others, Gongsun Du felt that it might be because of his subordinates, while Wei You was avenged because of his father's revenge, and he saw the reason why the Han Dynasty had rotted to the roots!

"Thank you, Lord Lord."

After the two of them sat down, Gongsun Du said: "I just received a letter from my father, saying that His Majesty wants to marry Yu, and at this time, the holy decree is already on the way, and it is expected to arrive at the Liao team in the near future." ”

Wei You and Zhang Hong glanced at each other, unable to understand what Gongsun Du wanted to say, but they still got up together and said, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord!" ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand indifferently and said, "I didn't ask you to congratulate you, but ......."

When it came to an end, Gongsun Du didn't know what to say, but when he thought of getting along with Zhang Zhi in the past few days, he gritted his teeth and sighed: "Hey! You should also know about the last few days...... Ahem...... Something, right? ”

After a pause, he said, "So, I came to you to ask if you have a way?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei You and Zhang Hong shouted urgently: "No! ”

Gongsun Du couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "What's the matter, why not?" Isn't it normal to have three wives and four concubines? ”

Wei You and Zhang Hong glanced at each other, and then Zhang Hong said with a serious face under Wei You's gesture: "Don't you know that if you are a king, you can't have a second wife?" During the time of Emperor Wu, the Marquis of Yanbei was named the Marquis of Wanhu because of his merits, and he took a concubine as his wife, with a total of three wives, and then he was Yi clan, all because he was a marquis and not a king, and it was impossible to have a second wife. As for the three wives and four concubines mentioned by the adult, the subordinates are just the casual words of a certain king of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

Gongsun Du was shocked: "There is such a secret in this? ”

Wei You nodded, and then explained: "My lord, in fact, I have always had multiple concubines, especially in this dynasty, usually people can only marry one wife and two concubines. It's just that the status of the concubine is not high, so many large families will have a lot of concubines, and the court will not care about this, but there can only be one wife. ”

Gongsun Du scratched his head in distress and said, "Then what should I do now?" A certain just agreed to marry the Zhang family yesterday, did he tell people today that he can't be a wife, but can only be a concubine? ”

"Besides, I'm afraid this marriage is not so simple!" Gongsun Du said pointedly.

Looking at it this way, his grandson Du is a fragrant bait, obviously far away from Luoyang, and his strength is also very weak, he can't rank at all in the Han Dynasty, and he was accidentally remembered by Zhang Rang and not to say, now that he looks at it this way, even His Majesty today has a little different idea!

Wei You and Zhang Hong are both smart people who understand the meaning as soon as they hear it, but what can they do about it?

"Lord, the Holy Command must not be violated!" Wei Yu said, "How can you not be disrespectful as a human minister!" ”

Gongsun Du listened to the hidden meaning in his words, and could only nod depressedly what he could say.

Seeing this, Zhang Hong chuckled and said, "My lord, in fact, this is not all bad, it is not an opportunity for adults." ”

"Opportunity? What chances? Gongsun Duqi said.

Zhang Hong replied in a good time: "Dare to ask your lordship, has the eldest grandson ever mentioned the identity of the other party to the marriage?" I want Your Majesty to win over adults, it can't be a woman from an ordinary family. ”

"That's right!" Gongsun Du nodded and said, "The daughter of the acting king is indeed not an ordinary family. ”

"Acting king?" Wei You and Zhang Hong exclaimed.

"What? Is it difficult for this acting king, what is the difference? The two of them were so surprised, but it made Gongsun Du feel a little curious.

This time, Zhang Hong didn't have the idea of interjecting, because he was not Gongsun Du's real subordinate now, and he couldn't say something. Wei You took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Does the lord know what else is called in the secret of the acting king?" ”

"Is there another way to say that?" Gongsun Du couldn't help but muttered to himself: Could it be that he is going undercover and rushing to play multiple performances?

"Acting King, also known as Acting Emperor!"

"Acting Emperor?" Gongsun Du was terrified, acting as the emperor, is he going to replace the emperor? If it's true, then it will definitely kill the head, and the head will be killed.

Wei You's face was still full of seriousness, and he said: "At the beginning, Wang Mang was in chaos, but in fact, it was a change of dynasty, but in the end, he still died and returned to the Han Dynasty, and the main reason for this is that he is the acting king. ”

"How?" Gongsun Du didn't expect that there was such a saying, in the memory of his previous two lives, Wang Mang's chaotic government was really just a chaotic government. But now that I hear it, I feel that something is not quite right. In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can understand, you must know that Wang Mang has been in power for more than ten years, not a day or two, not a year or two years, and it can indeed be regarded as a change of dynasty.

And the fact -

"No one knows the origin of the lineage of the acting king, and even whether it is the bloodline of the Liu family is not completely certain. It is speculated that if it is the bloodline of the Liu family, it is likely to be left behind by Gaozu, or it is deliberately left behind. If not, there are two possibilities, one is the king of Huaiyin, and the other is the marquis. ”

"At first, the king was inconspicuous, just the little king among the kings, until Wang Mang was in turmoil, and the new emperor re-ascended the throne to let the world see the sharp minions of the king of the king, only to find that the so-called little king had the ability to stir the world, and Emperor Guangwu was able to step up to the throne step by step by relying on the support of the king of the king."

"King Huaiyin? Is it Hanshin? Didn't he defect to the Huns? How could it be ......," Gongsun Du asked.

"That's right, it's Han Shin." Wei You shook his head lightly and said, "At least half of Gaozu's rivers and mountains were laid down by the King of Huaiyin, how could he rebel and take refuge in a foreign race." All this, if the previous speculation is true, then this is the secret hand of Gaozu, the secret hand that played a role two hundred years later, so that the Han can continue to this day. ”

Gongsun Du was really shocked, and he vaguely felt that this speculation was true, because it was indeed as Wei You said, even if Han Xin wanted to rebel, it would never be possible to take refuge in his mortal enemy, the Xiongnu.

Seeing the look on Gongsun Du's face, Wei You shook his head again and said, "Lord, so whether this matter is true or not, the lord must accept it." And the Zhang family can only be a concubine, otherwise there will be a catastrophe,"

"That'...... Just accept it! Gongsun Du seemed to be out of strength, leaning softly on the chair and waving his hand.

Wei You and Zhang Hong understood, got up and saluted, and retreated without speaking.

However, to the surprise of the two, as soon as the door of the study was closed again, Gongsun Du sat up straight again, and muttered something in his mouth-

“…… Qiulan ...... That's all I can do, I hope you don't blame me...... Wait, when the time comes, I'll ......."
