"Your Majesty, the palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace asks to see you!"

Gao Changgong raised his head, put down the pen that corrected the chapter, frowned, and looked at Shangguan Yunfeng with a surprised expression: "Baihua Palace, haven't they been in contact with Xing'er all the time?" Why did you come to me all of a sudden? Do you know what it is? ”

Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head and said: "The old body is also quite confused, if the emperor is unwilling to summon them, the old body will send them back!" ”

"Nope! Let them in! Gao Changgong shook his head, straightened his clothes, and looked majestic.

Shangguan Yunfeng nodded and left, and soon she led the two of them to this imperial study.

"Ling Suhua sees the emperor, I wish the emperor a long life and good health!" Entering the room, Ling Suhua saluted Gao Changgong.

"Palace Lord Ling doesn't have to be polite, give a seat!" Seeing that Ling Suhua was rarely followed by a handsome and imposing young man, and did not salute with Ling Suhua, Gao Changgong's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't care, and said with a smile.

For Ling Suhua, Gao Changgong was very grateful in his heart, after all, not to mention that the two sides were in a cooperative relationship, the latter even woke up the joy in the coma, which was a great favor to the Gao family and Yu Daqi.

"Emperor Xie!"

As the overlord of the dark night, Ling Suhua has his own arrogance, and he did not show a flattered look because of this, and thanked him very indifferently.

"Ling Palace Master, I don't know what important thing you have to do with me this time?" Gao Changgong glanced at the young man beside Ling Suhua again, and an imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes. Although this young man is not very old, he is calm in the face of his ninety-five honor, and from his body, Gao Changgong sees an innate grace, if he is not born in the family of Wang Sun Guizhou, it is difficult to have this kind of temperament.

Ling Suhua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not me who is looking for you for something important, but the son next to me, Xiao Yu, the prince of Liang." ”

"Oh?" Gao Changgong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yu again, who took a step, humble but not humble, and said respectfully and calmly: "Xiao Yu sees His Majesty the Emperor of Qi, may the emperor be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Tianqi!" As he spoke, Xiao Yu bowed deeply.

"Excuse me!" Gao Changgong waved his hand.

"Emperor Xie!" Xiao Yu bowed again, straightened up, looked at Gao Changgong with a humble gaze and said: "The emperor's prestige Xiao Yu has long been like thunder, and he has been fascinated for a long time, and today he finally got to see the face of the sky, which is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

Gao Changgong chuckled and said, "Is Emperor Liang okay lately?" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's care, my father's body is fine, when Xiao Yu came this time, my father told me a thousand times to bring his respect to the emperor and your greetings!"

"Thank you!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you know that the State of Zhou is now preparing to send troops to invade your country again?" Xiao Yu's face suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

Gao Changgong's eyes moved slightly, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said suspiciously: "Is there such a thing?" Does Yu Wenyun still want to provoke a dispute between the two countries and put the people in dire straits? Such an act is really outrageous to people and gods! However, if Zhou Guo really leads troops to attack again, I will let him know what regret is! In the last sentence, Gao Changgong's voice was very low, and there was a thick evil aura exuding from his body.

Xiao Yu's heart was slightly cold, this tall and long Gong Rong horse was born, and it was really not comparable to Gao Wei and the like, no wonder the Qi State was able to defeat the coalition forces of the Zhou State and the Turks.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu said with a solemn face: "Not only that, but Zhou Guo even sent envoys to Chen State and the Turks, if you want to unite them to send Qi again, the emperor still has to prepare early!" ”

Gao Changgong had already understood Xiao Yu's intention, so he said solemnly: "In this way, I really can't take it lightly. Thank you for the prince's reminder, just like this, it will inevitably drag down Liang Guo, how can this be good? ”

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, Xiao Yu came to your country secretly this time, firstly, to pay homage to the emperor's heroic posture, to visit his old friend His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, to form an alliance with your country on the order of our emperor!" ”

Gao Changgong's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiao Yu with burning eyes and said, "Alliance? ”

"It's an alliance!" Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "Although my Xiao clan sits on the Liang State, it is a false appearance, and it has always been under the jurisdiction of the Zhou State, and it has been humiliated all these years.

Yuwen Yong died, the power of the Zhou State plummeted, Yuwen Yun was incompetent, violent, and bullied me Liang Guo in every way, if this continues, sooner or later one day my Xiao family will have no place to stand, rather than this, it is better to prepare as soon as possible, so as to seek peace and prosperity for the people under the rule!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is both martial and military, rare in the world, defeated the Zhou State twice, repelled the Turks, the world was shocked, the emperor is even more eloquent, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, it is the luck of the people, the luck of the world. Although my Liang country is not as vast as your country, and the soldiers are strong and strong, but there are also 30,000 loyal men, and the determination to fight to the death with the Zhou country, if you can form an alliance with your country, you will be able to play an important role in the war between your country and the Zhou country! ”

At this point, Xiao Yu simply stopped hiding it and revealed his intentions and discernment. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of icing on the cake, but there are not many people who send charcoal in the snow. If Chen, Zhou, and Turkic really join forces, the pressure on Qi must be extremely huge, if Liang suddenly rebels and sneaks into the rear of Zhou, Zhou is bound to be in chaos, and when the momentum of the Three Kingdoms alliance does not exist, Qi will be able to turn defeat into victory. Xiao Yu believes that his proposal Gao Changgong will definitely be tempted.

Gao Changgong was silent, he naturally knew what Xiao Yu said, but he was also tempted. The state of Zhou wanted to annex the state of Qi, and the state of Qi did not want to destroy the state of Zhou. Expanding the territory and dominating the world is a great temptation for every emperor.

It's just that the matter of forming an alliance is far from being so simple, it is related to the interests of both sides, and Gao Changgong must carefully consider it.

After a long time, Gao Changgong looked up at Xiao Yu and said: "Prince Xiao, I have been with Emperor Liang for a long time, and you and Xing'er are old friends. It's just that I want to know, what if your country sent troops to help me fight against the Zhou State, but you want me to be in a big way? Once you turn against Zhou Guo, it will definitely be an endless situation! ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true, but this matter is very important, and it needs to be considered in the long run." Xiao Yu smiled slightly, paused and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that Xiao Yu still needs to ask for the emperor's consent." ”

"What's the matter, prince?"

Xiao Yu's face suddenly showed a shy smile, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, have you heard of Xiao Shiyun, the princess of my Liang Kingdom?" ”

Gao Changgong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Is it Princess Xiao Shiyun who is going to marry Lord Zhou?" ”

"Yes and no!"

"What do you mean by that?" Looking at Ling Suhua, who was silent on the side, Gao Changgong suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

"My sister's name is indeed Xiao Shiyun, but it is someone else who is married to Emperor Zhou Yu Wenyun! Yu Wenyun is a ruthless person, and if his sister marries him, he can only suffer a lot. Besides, this matter was not what my Liang Kingdom wanted, and my father and emperor have been trying to delay it until now. ”

Gao Changgong nodded, did not speak, and waited for the following. After a pause, Xiao Yu said again: "My sister has always admired His Royal Highness the Prince, but my daughter's family is inevitably shy and reserved, and I have never dared to show my heart to His Royal Highness the Prince, as a younger brother, I want to propose to the emperor, and I hope the emperor agrees to marry His Royal Highness the Prince!"

My sister is not only the princess of my Liang Kingdom, but also the young palace master of Baihua Palace, if she can tie the knot with His Royal Highness the Prince, not only can she achieve a beautiful marriage, but it will also be of great benefit to the alliance between your and my two countries, I don't know what the emperor wants? ”

finally confirmed the guess in his heart, but Gao Changgong frowned and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Shiyun has seen it, and he is very impressed by the woman who is graceful and luxurious, and even makes him moved, especially since she has spent a lot of energy to wake up happiness, and Gao Changgong also has a good impression of her. Now that the war is imminent, it is naturally good to be able to form an alliance with Liang State, and the two sides have formed an in-law, which is much closer.

Now that he is happy that there is a successor, Gao Changgong plans to pass on the throne to Xingxing, but he is very distressed about some things, that is, the queen's candidate. There are many outstanding women around Xingxing, but the crown princess has not yet had a clear answer, Gao Changgong asked Xingxing about this matter, but the latter avoided answering, coupled with the busy state affairs, the matter has been put on hold. But if I inherit the throne, some things need to be decided as soon as possible, after all, as the king of a country, family affairs are state affairs, and many things must be done in accordance with the legal etiquette of the ancestors.

Happy to have a few daughters around her, Zhang Rong, Zhang Lihua, and Lu Hanyue were born in the market, and Wu Shun is the daughter of a businessman, and her family background is not noble, and it may be difficult to convince the public as the queen; Yang Lihua is from a wealthy family, but her identity is a little embarrassing and inappropriate; Xiao Shiyun is a good candidate, a princess of a country, from a rich background, quite talented, and mild-tempered, she is actually a good candidate for the queen, but Gao Changgong did not dare to decide rashly in this matter.

Happy has a gentle appearance, but he acts most decisively and independently, and Gao Changgong can't make decisions in many things, and he also faintly sees that Happy has always been equal to several women, I'm afraid this is also the reason why he has always avoided the status and hierarchy of his wife and concubine.

"Prince Xiao, I already know about this matter, I will consider it carefully, you have come from afar, and you are also tired, please go down and rest first!" Saying that, Gao Changgong looked at Shangguan Yunfeng and said, "Elder Shangguan, Prince Xiao's identity is special, confidentiality is important, this matter still needs to be arranged by you, don't neglect the prince!" ”

"Emperor Xie, Xiao Yu retires!" Xiao Yu saluted Gao Chang, and then followed Shangguan Yunfeng to walk out. Ling Suhua was also about to leave, but Gao Changgong stopped her, frowned and said, "Ling Palace Master, does Ling Tu really love Yu Xing'er?" ”

"It's true!" Ling Suhua said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't know, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went south to Jiangling, he saved Yun'er's life, and it was at that time that Yun'er fell in love with His Royal Highness the Prince, and never overdid it!" I also saw that she was pitiful, so I came up with a way to steal the beam and change the pillar to deceive Yu Wenyun. ”

"Liang Guo is very sincere, and I can't make people feel that they are narrow, but I really agreed to this marriage, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of those good women, and it will also make Xing'er embarrassed!"

"Your Majesty, this matter is difficult to say, easy to say but easy to say!" Ling Suhua smiled freely.

"Oh?" Gao Changgong suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Why did the Ling Palace Lord say this?" ”

"Your Majesty, I see that the ladies of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are all reasonable and knowledgeable people, if the Emperor personally goes to inform the matter, I think they will not have any objections, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be embarrassed at that time!"

Gao Changgong was stunned for a long time, slowly closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and then waved his hand gently.
