"Exactly." The guard said, "I was just transferred to the palace by General Wei Junche, and I didn't expect to meet the general." ”

"If it is peaceful today, she will not lead the troops again, and she will not have to call her general in the future." Guo Mu said lazily, "Do you still need to get out of the car to check on you now?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the two of you, please." The guard hurriedly gave way, this guard naturally knew the past of Guo Mushen and Wei Mingyan, and just saw a woman in Guo Mushen's car, thinking that he couldn't find Wei Mingyan to find a new love, and he had to embarrass him.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, a minister came to talk to Guo Mushen, and Wei Mingyan was uncomfortable with a woman caught in it, so she whispered to Guo Mushen that she entered the hall.

The number of officials entering the palace has increased one after another, and there are palace people busy walking around them from time to time, and a group of officials have entered the palace, and the pomp is not small, the palace people hurriedly retreated to make their debut, and unconsciously bumped into Wei Xiangyan next to him, Wei Xiangrou retreated unsteadily, and felt that an arm was stretched out to her waist, Wei Rongrou instinctively waved his hand, turned around and opened the distance, and immediately saluted after seeing the comer.

"Wei Rou has seen His Royal Highness King Ye."

The palace people and officials around him heard the sound and knelt down collectively to salute Guo Muyu.

Guo Muyu, who was dressed in a gorgeous costume, looked at the empty arm and smiled, he didn't change much, but he had a vigorous and handsome face, but his smile was faint and gloomy against the backdrop of the graceful and rich brocade clothes, Guo Muyu spoke, "This king heard that Chang Yan was seriously ill and left Beijing before, and he thought that this skill had been cured. ”

"It was Wei Wei who was rude and offended His Royal Highness King Ye."

"Why do you have to see the outside like this, how can it be your fault." Guo Muyu raised his hand, and his gestures had gradually penetrated the demeanor of a king, and he scolded the palace people who were still kneeling on the ground, "Dog minion, don't look at who you bumped into, what do you do if you don't need your eyes!" ”

The palace people were so frightened that they hurriedly cried and shouted for mercy, Guo Muyu usually behaved in the palace and knew it, and it was not an uncommon thing for him to gouge out people's eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Ye." Wei Rou immediately opened his mouth to plead, "It's Wei Rou's fault, beg His Highness not to blame them." ”

"Rouge is still so kind." Guo Muyu smiled at Wei Ran, turned around and squinted at the palace people, "Thank you for it." ”

The palace people thanked them again and again, and they didn't dare to stay for a moment and dispersed.

"Routing, this king will enter the palace with you, so as not to encounter something that is not long-sighted." Guo Muyu stretched out his hand to help Wei Ming.

The resisting Wei Rong retreated slightly and said, "Your Highness Xie, Wei Wei Wei Yan doesn't dare to bother His Highness." ”

"You don't need to be polite to this king."

Guo Muyu still insisted and continued to move forward.

"Rouge!"

Wei Rongyan was retreating and embarrassed, Wei Junche arrived, "His Royal Highness King Xie Ye takes care of Yan'er, since His Royal Highness is here, there is no need to trouble His Highness." ”

After speaking, he didn't look back and pulled Wei Rongyan away, Guo Muyu, who was still smiling, stood in place and looked at the two brothers and sisters who left, and the smile on his face gradually became more gloomy.

"Brother." Wei Rongyan walked all the way and asked, "Wouldn't it be bad to go like this?" ”

Wei Junche didn't stop and answered, "I'm going to embarrass you, I already let him if I didn't do it, what's not good." ”

Wei Yuanyan, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile bitterly, Guo Mushen said that her brother was powerful now, and he didn't think it would be so big, and he didn't even care about King Ye today.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the ministers invited to the banquet were all ranked according to their grades, and the seats of the Wei family were on the same side as Guo Mushen and Guo Muyu.

Soon, Guo Tianqiong took a seat, and when they met again, they were already in a yellow robe, with golden light, and their faces were much gentler than before, but this gentleness was not as cordial as before, which made Wei Rongrou feel extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Wei Rouge, Guo Tianqiong smiled and said, "Rouge is back." ”

Wei Rouge stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Wei Rou has seen the emperor, so the emperor is worried, Wei Rouge is guilty." ”

"Rouge is really a well-behaved and good boy, get up."

Guo Tianqiong smiled, his smile was soft and kind, different from Guo Mushen's warmth, and different from Guo Muyu's gloom, which made people feel less than half a point of temperature fluctuations.

The banquet of the palace is either singing and dancing or a banquet, Wei Mingyan is inevitably bored, and when he is really bored, he will be in a daze from his head, but before his thoughts have drifted out of the hall, he can feel that there is a warm gaze through the heavy figures, Guo Mushen on the opposite side is smiling at her gently, and for a moment Wei Mingyan has no reason to be happy in his heart.

He opened his thin mouth slightly, and asked Wei Mingrou if he was tired with his lips, Wei Rongyan shook his head slightly, Guo Mushen opened his lips again, and said, "Wait for me." ”

Wei Mingzheng was confused about what he meant, so he saw Guo Mushen stand up and speak to Guo Tianqiong, "Father, the son wants to ask the father to allow the son." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The son asks to marry the daughter of Wei Da Sima, and Wei Wei is his wife, and begs his father to give him a marriage."

The hall was suddenly silent, everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Rong, even Wei Rongrou was still, Guo Tianqiong on the throne did not answer, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

Guo Muyu next to him glanced at the courtiers from the corner of his eyes, and a minister in the quiet hall soon stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of Da Sima is indeed dignified and beautiful, and the dogs in the family also have a soft spot for Miss Wei, and they have long wanted Weichen to come to the door to ask for marriage, although His Royal Highness King Yi spoke, but Weichen is not only a father, but also wants to fight for his own children." ”

After speaking, the minister also said to Guo Mushen with apologies, "His Royal Highness King Yi is really sorry, there is such a son in Weichen's family, he must speak." ”

Guo Mushen's eyes were cold and said, "Since you know that you are sorry and dare to speak, does Lord Sun think that with your humble official position, you are really qualified to marry the dignified Grand Sima, or do you think that the talented and virtuous son in your family is worthy of the first-class general of Xiazhou!" ”

The Lord Sun was dumbfounded by the questioning, Guo Muyu raised his eyes again, and half of the ministers in the palace stepped forward and expressed the same meaning one after another, all of them wanted to marry Wei Rongyan as his wife, and he himself put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up, and said, "Father, the son also wants to marry the daughter of Da Sima." ”

"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this!" Guo Mushen's voice was very low, and he was pressed to the bottom along with his anger.

Guo Muyu said with a smile, "King Yi thinks that Qian Yan is a good wife who can help her husband, this king doesn't think so, and I think the ministers think the same way." ”

"Okay, since Brother Wang is also going to fight, it's better to leave the decision to Rou..."

It's just that before Guo Mushen finished speaking, Guo Tianqiong opened his mouth and raised his voice to interrupt him, "The marriage is the order of your parents, and you all come to me one by one to ask for help, but you have asked Da Sima's opinion." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention shifted to Wei Zhenting, even Wei Rongyan looked at her father, she knew that Wei Zhenting didn't want her to marry Guo Mushen, but she didn't want to marry anyone else.

Wei Zhenting stepped forward, "The minister thanks the two princes and colleagues for their love, but the minister has only one daughter, and she has been separated from the minister for a long time, and she has just returned to his side. ”

This answer seemed to be very in line with Guo Tianqiong's mind, he nodded in agreement, and said to everyone, "You people haven't thought about Da Sima, if I can have such a likable daughter, I will definitely leave her at home like Da Sima, and this matter will be according to Da Sima's will, and I must not mention it again!" ”

The last four words Guo Tianqiong aggravated her tone, although she looked at everyone, she was obviously saying it to Guo Mushen, who refused to give up.

When she returned home, Wei Zhenting kept her head down and was silent, and she was going to go back to the room after saying goodnight, but Wei Zhenting stopped her, "Rou'er blames Daddy?" ”

Wei Rongyan shook her head, she believed that her father had his considerations.

"Rouge." Wei Zhenting explained, "At today's banquet, those who dare to come out and rob King Yi are all King Ye's people, and now there are many people who support King Ye, but they are all civil officials, and they have no military power in their hands, only Sun Xin, who has just been subdued, is the minister who spoke first, and there are a few people under him, King Ye has always been unwilling, and he has come to woo your eldest brother several times, we have not agreed, if you really marry King Yi at this time, King Ye will not give up." ”

"Rouge." Wei Junche, who was on the side, also helped to speak, and added, "When you first came back, the emperor summoned your father, and he asked his father, his two sons, whether Yan'er must choose King Ye." ”

"What do you mean!?" Wei Rongyan didn't understand, did Guo Tianqiong want her to marry Guo Muyu.

"When King Yi returns to Kyoto, he will divide the forces of King Bo Ye, and in a few years, if the disparity between the two parties is too great, the emperor will want to use Yan'er to contain the powerful side, so that they can maintain their balance and continue to fight." Wei Junche said.

"Why fight, those two are his own sons?" Wei couldn't believe it at all.

Wei Zhenting sighed, his eyes were gloomy, the affection of flesh and blood in front of the imperial power has long been not so important, Guo Tianqiong has only been on the throne for a year, and countless ministers have already played the crown prince, Guo Tianqiong has never agreed, because he doesn't want to let go of the hard-earned country so quickly.

Over the past year, Guo Tianqiong has been slowly recovering the military power in the hands of the original rebel generals, and after getting it, they will all belong to Wei Junche, the purpose is to wait for Guo Muyu or Guo Mushen in the future, Guo Tianqiong can marry Wei Rouge to the loser and let them continue to fight, as long as the two brothers do not distinguish the winner, his throne can continue to sit firmly.

The throne, how can it not completely change a person...

"Yan'er, do you still remember the battle when Yue Jin colluded with Danliao to lead us into the game?" Wei Zhenting said.

Wei Rongyan nodded, it was that battle that completely led to Yue Jin's demise.

Wei Zhenting said, "When Yue Jin designated you and King Yi to support, the emperor had insight into the intentions behind it, but he not only agreed but also agreed to King Ye's request to let him go, the reason is very simple, if he wins, Xiazhou will resist foreign enemies, and will get everyone's support and recognition, even if there are really casualties and defeats, he can win the sympathy of the people of the world and lay the foundation for him to be the king, do you know how big the stakes are behind this move to win the chess." ”

"So, for the sake of these illusory things, the emperor can abandon anything..."

Wei Mingyan muttered unconsciously, if Guo Mushen hadn't arrived in time at that time, Guo Muyu was very likely to die, and if she failed to find the abnormality, maybe she and Guo Mushen would also die in that battle, and these, Guo Tianqiong had predicted...

"Yes." Wei Zhenting said, "Don't worry, Daddy knows that you don't like King Ye, he has already accepted several side concubines, and his heart is not very right, Dad won't let you marry him, but now King Yi is not a good match, and Dad doesn't want Rou'er to become a victim of the struggle for imperial power." ”
