Everyone present looked at the person Sun Qi'an was referring to - Gongsun Jian!

There was a slight anger on Lu Dongshan's plain face, "Lord Kang, is it a little too much?"

King Kang snorted coldly, "This person is trying to tell me the secret of the Great Zhou, how can he stay for a long time, if Gonggong Lu is uncomfortable, he can sue me in front of His Majesty!" ”

With that, King Kang flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage.

Gongsun Jian let out a long sigh, "It's a poor man. ”

King Ming patted him lightly on the shoulder, thinking that this young man had to be wooed, and His Majesty was so fond of him.

Lu Dongshan nodded to King Ming and Gongsun Jian, it can be regarded as a greeting, it is now in the middle of the city, don't talk too much, the province is refreshing.

Lu Dongshan waved his hand, as if he was swinging a flying insect, and no one paid attention to his action.

But Song Qingming, who was watching in secret, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, just when Lu Dongshan first came, he was surrounded by three or four people, who didn't say anything but blocked all his retreats, until Lu Dongshan waved his hand, and the three or four people next to him retreated, as well as the others who were hidden on the roof and dark alleys next to him.

The place where so many skilled people can be transferred to cooperate with the case handling has also heard of it a little after he became an eagle dog in the imperial court.

There are only two royal forces, the Imperial City Division and the Suppression Division!

Lu Dongshan smiled slightly, "Lord Ming, our family will leave first." ”

Prince Mingqing was not polite to Lu Dongshan, nodded lightly, and said to Cao Jiang: "In the future, I have time to let that kid from your family come to the house more, since the Guozijian, Qianying hasn't seen your son for a long time." ”

Lu Dongshan turned his head and left without paying attention.

Cao Jiang pursed his lips, this King Ming wants to win him over!

Since the two great princes were all given military power, they had no soldiers in their hands, so they naturally wanted to win over some people who could give them support in this regard.

Cao Jiang clenched his fists and said: "God bless the dog, the dog is fortunate to be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, that is his blessing, I will definitely tell him when I return to the house." ”

King Ming smiled noncommittally.

Cao Jiang hugged his fists again, turned over and rode on his horse, leaving with five hundred royal forest troops.

Prince Mingqing glanced at Gongsun Jian with satisfaction, and the latter responded politely.

Prince Mingqing turned his head and summoned the butler, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw the butler's expression when he looked at Gongsun Jian changed from surprise to panic, and then very respectful!

Gongsun Jian didn't know what the two of them were talking about, so he walked up to Li Qianying's side, "Your Royal Highness, is there any other activity today?" If not, I'll go back and rest. ”

To be honest, the feeling of having a hangover and not having a good rest was too uncomfortable, and Gongsun Jian was always dizzy, but he was just forcibly pretending to be calm.

Since Li Qianying is His Royal Highness the Prince, how can he not have the skills to observe words and feelings, he smiled and said: "It's still early, wait until dinner and then go to Baifeng Pavilion, I will go to listen to the master's teaching in a while, and I won't accompany Brother Gongsun during the day today." ”

Gongsun Jian couldn't wait for nothing to do next, he arched his hand and said: "In this case, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will be busy first, and I will walk around at will." ”

"Do you need to send a few people to follow? Let them take Brother Gongsun to some of the more famous places in the capital. ”

"Thank you in advance, Your Royal Highness, no need, I'll just wander around."

Li Qianying smiled, "I always shout that His Royal Highness is too angry, I am willing to be commensurate with Brother Gongsun and brothers, what does Brother Gongsun think?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, His Royal Highness the Prince should be older than me, and there is no need to call me Brother Gongsun anymore."

Gongsun Jian said, this has always been "Brother Gongsun Gongsun Brother" is too literary, he doesn't like it very much, and although Li Qianying's self-surrender status is commensurate with his brother, Li Qianying is still the son of the world, you can continue to give you face, but you must not accept it too high.

Li Qianying didn't have so many ideas, he was not a fool, he could see King Kang's attitude towards Gongsun Jian, as well as Sun Qi'an's change, and Lu Dongshan's vague eyes, as if they were emphasizing one thing to him, that is, Gongsun Jian's identity is definitely not simple.

In addition, Prince Mingqing was suddenly quite satisfied with Gongsun Jian, and Li Qianying naturally had to climb up his father's pole.

"Gongsun, then I'll go to find the master first, you don't have to be polite, please take care of yourself."

Gongsun Jian nodded, secretly relieved in his heart, this little turmoil finally dissipated, and he could have a good rest, but he didn't want him to just say hello to King Ming and wanted to go back to the room, but the housekeeper stopped him.

"Uncle, I'll arrange a yard for you later."

Gongsun Jian was stunned, not only Gongsun Jian was stunned, but Li Qianying, who had already left, also turned his head with a puzzled face when he heard it, looking directly at the housekeeper, not knowing what the hell he was doing.

"Uncle housekeeper, uncle, how did you come up with the word? Our prince is here, and he will be punished for talking nonsense. ”

Gongsun Jian joked with a smile, afraid that the prince would really find trouble with the housekeeper, so he opened the round and said: "Uncle of the prince's mansion, I can't afford to be a small person, jokes are jokes, but I still agree with the yard, the yard was a little remote last night, and I was scared when I fell asleep." ”

"I can't bear it."

Prince Mingqing walked over with an appreciative face, "Butler, you go and pass on my words, so that a few guests in the palace will also spread the news, and say that my Miss Wangfu wants to marry someone, which is approved by His Majesty." ”

The official nodded and bowed and walked out.

Gongsun Jian's eyes widened, he glanced at Prince Mingqing, and then at Li Qianying, and found that only the prince had a smile in his eyes, and His Royal Highness the Prince also looked at him blankly.

King Ming patted Gongsun Jian's shoulder and whispered: "I know who you are, I don't have to hide it from today onwards, that's what Your Majesty meant by letting you come to the palace first, let you communicate more with Li'er, how old are you this year?" ”

Gongsun Jian lost his mind and spoke, "Twenty and one." ”

King Ming nodded thoughtfully, "Li'er is seventeen years old this year, and she has reached the age of talking about marriage, this year you are instructed by His Majesty to marry, first set your relatives, and then wait until you turn back and conquer Jingzhou, recover Xishu, and then this king will give you another operation, transfer you to the military department or the official department as an errand, and then slowly climb up." ”

"No, no, lord, I didn't mean that......"

"This king understands what you are worried about, although I don't have any real power now, I still have some right to speak, and Your Majesty will sell this king some face in person."

Gongsun Jian swallowed his saliva, and after Prince Mingqing finished chattering, he asked helplessly: "Lord, I have a question now, is it true that His Majesty has assigned me a marriage a long time ago, and then put me in the palace, does it also have this purpose?" ”

Prince Mingqing nodded, "There are several reasons. ”

Gongsun Jian let out a sigh, "Lord Wang, the little county lord is a very good woman, I don't have the ability, besides, my identity, maybe one day on the battlefield......"

"It doesn't matter, after surviving the Battle of Jingzhou, as long as you win, this king will immediately arrange for you to get married, and then you won't have to work the battlefield."

"I'm just a civilian, I got to this position with the support of military merit and General Yu, and the little county lord is a talented woman in the capital, and I don't have any ink in my belly, so I really don't deserve it."

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, this king will change your household to a scholar family, you are the first person to start your Gongsun family, a hundred years later, if the Gongsun family is still standing in the capital, you are the ancestor of the Gongsun family."

Gongsun Jian shook his head, "But I don't have any feelings with the little county lord, and the twisted melon is not sweet." ”

"It doesn't matter, feelings can be cultivated slowly, besides, the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker cannot be violated, not to mention that this is still His Majesty's marriage, and if you don't obey the will, it is the crime of resisting the will......"

As for this, Prince Mingqing also had a trace of anger on his face, this kid refused in every way, could it be that he felt that Li'er was not worthy of him?

Li Qianying also walked over, with an indifferent expression, "Dad, do you really want to marry Li'er to Gongsun Jian?" ”

"There's no room for you to talk here, go to the master's place, and finish today's schoolwork."

"Daddy......"

Li Qianying didn't even look at Gongsun Jian, as if he had just said that he had changed into a different person who was "commensurate with brothers".

"This matter still needs to be agreed by my sister, and her happiness must be chosen by herself, since Gongsun Jian is a little reluctant in his tone, then there is no need to force it, you are a prince, you can discuss it with Your Majesty."

Prince Mingqing frowned, "What do you know?" I agreed to this matter, Your Majesty agreed, and I also asked the housekeeper to spread the news, don't think I don't know what your brother and sister think, one likes the daughter of Shangcheng Ling, and the other likes the scholar who can't even eat, I advise you two to die. After the marriage of Li'er and her grandson and nephew is completed, I will ask Your Majesty to ask you to marry the daughter of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Li Qianying was very frightened when she heard this, "Dad! You can't just say a few words like this to decide the rest of my life and my sister! ”

"I'm your father! This palace listens to me! ”

Li Qianying was speechless for a while, he waved his sleeve robe heavily, and turned to leave.

Gongsun Jian was very embarrassed on the side, and he sneered, "Lord Wang, when will I be able to enter Beijing?" ”

"In another half a month, Your Majesty still has some things to deal with, since you will be a member of the palace in the future, and you can be regarded as half a son of this king, you might as well tell you that Your Majesty's punishment of Sun Qi'an is a small part of the things he has to deal with, it is really not because you have a good relationship with Father-in-law Lu, you also don't want to feel that Your Majesty is very good to you because of this kind of holy grace, and you have to maintain a sense of awe in the future." In the future, there will be this kind of voice of copying and distributing in the future, don't make a fuss. ”

Gongsun Jian pursed his lips, Holy Grace? This is to trap him in injustice, but the emperor's big move still makes him feel a little moved in his heart, he just came to the capital to make such a big move, is it true that it has nothing to do with himself?

Prince Mingqing said with a smile: "It's time for Lian'er to get up at this time, she is good anywhere, but she is a little snooze, if you get married in the future, bear with me." ”

Gongsun Jian saw that King Ming was still firm in his thoughts about marriage, he shook his head and sighed and said: "Lord, I might as well tell you that I have already married, and my wife and I respect and love each other very much, so I will propose to let His Majesty dissolve the marriage contract after meeting the saint, not because of how the palace is, how is the mercy, on the contrary, it is very good, but it is impossible for me to abandon my wife, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

King Ming suddenly stopped talking, just stared at Gongsun Jian tightly, and the latter felt furious in his heart.

"Lord, I'll move out of the palace later......"

"Good boy! What to do when you move out! ”

Prince Mingqing suddenly clapped his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, Your Majesty has a vicious eye, knowing that you have already married and you have not yet been married, and you have also confessed, indicating that you are a good boy, I believe that you will entrust you with mercy in the future, and you will not treat her badly, besides, men, three wives and four concubines are not a shameful thing, this king and I have three princesses alone, you have a bright future in the future, three wives and four concubines are not impossible." ”

"What!"

Gongsun Jian was completely stunned.

A burst of hearty laughter spread through the ears of the palace maids and eunuchs, and these servants with their heads bowed all smiled, because they had not heard His Majesty laugh out loud like this for a long time, and they vaguely remembered the last time they had such a smile when they were canonized as the queen mother.

"Is that really what the fourth child said? Three wives and four concubines, he came up with what he thought of. ”

The four children born to the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty are Li Ruxiang, Prince Kangyi, Li Rusi, the third princess, and Li Ruxu, Prince Mingqing.
