244 Tough (2nd Shift)
When the news reached the palace, the emperor was in the imperial study with several ministers to discuss peace talks between the two countries.
Zhao Guo and Chen Guo fought a lot of battles, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and after a few years, the treasury was still in a state of semi-deficit, and Liang Guo was so strong that he didn't take Zhao Guo in his eyes at all.
In this peace talks, Liang Guo's attitude was extremely tough, and there was no room for concession.
The emperor and the elders had gray hair.
But suddenly, Prince Yu sent someone to spread the word - Liang Guo can make concessions, on the condition that it is only a child?
"What child?" The emperor asked.
The confidant minister said: "It is an orphan, and the prince and princess of my family fell in love with the child and wanted to adopt the child back." In return, my prince will try to make concessions in the peace talks. ”
"Let's ...... How much? Mrs. Zhuang asked.
The confidant minister smiled and pulled out a slip from his wide sleeve.
Gonggong Wei stepped forward, took the list, and made sure that it was non-toxic and non-concealed, and then presented it to the emperor.
After the emperor read it, he gave it to Zhuang Taifu and others.
After reading it, Mrs. Zhuang, Yuan Shoufu and all the old ministers widened their eyes.
They couldn't believe it!
The terms of the original negotiations were that Liang exchanged lime mortar technology for Zhao's bellows technology and glutinous rice mortar technology, and opened a mutual market on the border between the two countries, exchanging Liang's cheap handicrafts for Zhao's high-quality silk and tea.
Now it has added a glass technology, glass is a unique handicraft of Liang country, exquisite, a gold is hard to find, in the six countries only the royal family is eligible to enjoy the glass, as for a poor country like Zhao, it can't be used at all.
The allure of this technology is enormous.
At least you can see Liang Guo's sincerity.
It is rumored that Yan Guo also coveted Liang Guo's glaze craftsmanship back then, but Liang Guo rejected it.
Yan State is a superior country, its status is not under Liang State, Liang State does not pass on the technology to them, but teaches it to Zhao State, and after the matter spreads, it may be necessary to offend Yan State.
Does Prince Yu know what he is doing?
Is it the son of Liang Guojun who does whatever he wants?
"Will there be fraud?" An old minister asked.
The confidant minister smiled sarcastically: "My prince is full of words, so he can use it to deceive you?" ”
You also deserve it?!
It's like an elephant trying to crush a bug to death, just step on it, and use jumping up and down to confuse it, stun it, and relax its vigilance?
Everyone thought it was so.
But...... Just for a kid?
Everyone really didn't understand Prince Yu's bewildered behavior.
The emperor didn't understand either, he didn't rush to agree, he vaguely felt that things were not simple, he asked the ministers to go back first, leaving the henchmen of Liang State to ask.
"How could Prince Yu fall in love with the orphans of Zhaoguo?" The emperor opened the skylight and said a few words.
The envoys of the Liang State were not afraid that the emperor would open his mouth after knowing the truth, after all, this Emperor Zhaoguo was not easy to fool, and he said the words that Prince Yu explained to him as they were: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the visit of Prince Yu and the princess five years ago? ”
The emperor nodded: "I naturally remember." ”
"At that time, Princess Yu was pregnant, and she was raised in Zhaoguo for several months, and she did not leave until she gave birth. ”
"It is said that the child died, and I was very sad to hear about it at the time." The emperor said, frowning, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with that child?" ”
The envoy of the Liang State smiled: "My prince accidentally found that the child was not dead, and he may have been rescued from the coffin back then." Considering that your Zhaoguo has raised the prince's son for many years, in return, the prince of my family will make concessions in the peace talks. ”
If so, everything makes sense.
The emperor nodded, and soon, he asked again suspiciously: "Is it really the son of Prince Yu?" ”
The envoy of the Liang State said: "Could it be that the prince of my family will pay such a big price for a fake son?" ”
The emperor also felt that it was unlikely, and he asked again: "Where is the child now?" ”
The envoy of Liang said with a smile: "I was adopted by a little doctor girl in a medical hall. ”
Hearing the medical hall, a faint layer of bad wellness swelled in the emperor's heart: "Which medical hall?" Rejuvenation? ”
The envoy of the Liang State smiled: "Ah, no, it's Miaoshou Hall." ”
The emperor's face changed.
After two classes in the afternoon, Xiao Jingkong left school, and Gu Jiao went to Guozijian to pick him up.
Xiao Jingkong thought that Uncle Liu came to pick him up, sighed, walked slowly, and when he arrived at the door, he found that it was Gu Jiao, and instantly felt that he had missed a million!
If I had known he would have run faster! I haven't spent so much time with Jiaojiao!
"Jiaojiaojiao!"
He walked on his short legs and ran towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao bent down slightly, and wiped the sweat on Xiao Jingkong's forehead with a handkerchief.
Recently, the temperature difference is large, and it is very cold in the morning and evening, which leads to a little more clothes when going out, but in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and the little guy is sweating profusely.
Gu Jiao touched his back, and his underwear was soaked.
"Did you race again this afternoon?" Gu Jiao asked.
"No, no race." Xiao Jingkong shook his head, "Master taught us to play Keju." ”
"Is it fun?" Gu Jiao asked.
"It's fun!" It's the first time I've played it, and it feels very novel, "Some people play better than me, they've played before." ”
Xiao Qingkong is not a child who is too competitive, he has to be the first is the norm, if he can't get it, he won't be depressed for too long, especially for the field he hasn't been involved in, he is generally humble to learn.
This is also why he is so parting with Xiao Liulang, but the knowledge taught by Xiao Liulang will still be like a sponge to absorb it frantically.
Gu Jiao directly took Xiao Jingkong to the medical hall.
"Miss Gu, the patient is here." The little third son came to the yard to urge Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao just took out Xiao Qingkong's clothes.
Xiao Jingkong said obediently: "Jiaojiao, you go and get busy, I can change my clothes by myself." ”
Gu Jiao said: "It may take a while." ”
The little clearance patted the little chest: "It's okay, I'll take care of myself!" I'll do my homework after I change my clothes! ”
How can there be such a well-behaved child?
Gu Jiao smiled knowingly and touched his little head: "Okay, there is a snack on the table, eat first when you are hungry." ”
Xiao Jingkong said cutely: "I'll wait for Jiaojiao to eat together!" ”
This kid.
Gu Jiao's heart was budding by him.
Gu Jiao went to the consultation room.
She really thought that some patient had come, but she didn't expect it to be Gonggong Wei beside the emperor.
Gonggong Wei already knew about the emperor's fall from the horse, but he didn't know that Gu Jiao had guessed that the emperor was a patient of Hualiu in the county seat.
Of course, Gu Jiao herself would not say it.
Gonggong Wei smiled wryly: "Miss Gu, the old slave came over today because I want to confirm something with you." ”
Gu Jiao looked at him: "What's the matter?" ”
Father-in-law Wei smiled dryly: "Your medical hall ...... Are you the only female doctor? ”
"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded.
Gonggong Wei secretly said that it is not good, it's over, His Majesty's guess has come true, I'm really afraid of what, Prince Yu wants someone's child is not good, why does it have to be on the head of the little divine doctor?
"What are you asking for?" Gu Jiao noticed that Gonggong Wei's expression was not quite right.
Gonggong Wei sighed at a loss: "Miss Gu, you ...... It's a problem! ”
Gonggong Wei told Gu Jiao the ins and outs of Prince Yu's request for his son from the emperor, there is nothing to add fuel and vinegar, the matter is too big, and there is nothing to add.
Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "Hmm." No wonder he was so loud, saying that the whole capital couldn't cover her, it turned out to be the prince of Liang State.
Gonggong Wei said earnestly: "Your Majesty is actually very embarrassed, not that he covets the conditions he offered, but that the father and son recognize each other, and it is natural and righteous that he can't stop him from bringing his own son back, Miss Gu, do you say this is the reason?" ”
Gu Jiao's eyes cooled: "Did he say that it was his son and his son?" ”
Father-in-law Wei said: "Isn't this obvious? ”
With the status of Prince Yu, it is not an exaggeration to refer to the deer as a horse, let alone recognize a son.
There is no need to talk about evidence at all.
The conditions for peace talks he put forward are the most powerful evidence, from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to the people of Zhaoguo, I am afraid that no one will not believe or disagree.
This is the benefit of absolute power.
No matter how powerful a person is, he is also an individual, but behind Prince Yu is a whole powerful country.
Gonggong Wei sighed: "Miss Gu, don't blame Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't help himself, he can't stop his father from bringing his son back." ”
"I see." Gu Jiao nodded lightly, stood up, didn't say anything more, opened the door of the consultation room and walked out.
Xiao Jingkong has changed into a dry little regular clothes, and is sitting on the small wooden table in the yard to write homework.
The small body sat upright, and his expression was very serious.
On the table was a box of freshly baked dim sum, and the aroma wafted through the entire courtyard, which was his favorite jujube paste osmanthus cake.
But he didn't eat a bite, he had to wait for Jiaojiao to eat together.
