Chapter 408: Empress Dowager Gu's Ambition

It was already dusk after the play was sung.

Empress Dowager Gu didn't expect Chenguang to really hold back and watch the whole scene with her, without being impatient halfway, without asking or mentioning the matter between the two countries to her, and without leaving the table halfway, as if she was really interested.

At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood.

Empress Dowager Gu directly left the morning light for dinner, in the peony garden.

The singers had withdrawn, leaving only the luthier to sit far away in the flowers and pluck the strings, and the gentle music drifted in with the breeze, making people intoxicated.

The food of Cangqiu Country is very particular about seasonings, and the original taste of the food cannot be eaten, almost all of them have a strong spice taste.

Empress Dowager Gu wiped her lips with a handkerchief, opened her mouth with a smile, and asked softly:

"What does Lord Feng think of Chiyang Kingdom?"

"The Chiyang Kingdom is strong and powerful, and the military is strong, and my Fengying Kingdom is a barbaric country, so I don't dare to judge the Chiyang Country." Chenguang said with a smile.

What she said made Empress Dowager Gu feel a lot, Chiyang Country is recognized as the first country, and the Empress Dowager Gu didn't dare to feel that she was also sarcastic about Cangqiu Country and wanted to go against Chiyang Country.

But even if the other party really meant that, without explicitly saying it and not provoking, if Empress Dowager Gu made trouble in this sentence, it would be that she admitted that Cangqiu Country was not as good as Chiyang Kingdom, she swallowed this displeasure and said with a smile:

"Maybe the Feng Ming Kingdom was a small barbarian country in the past, after all, it was in the desert, but now no one dares to say that the Feng Ming Kingdom is a wild country, and it is impossible for His Royal Highness the Feng Lord to take down Nanyue and Beiyue in one go."

"It's just luck." The morning light smiled and groaned.

"I heard that the Phoenix Lord has a great friendship with the Sakura King of my country." Empress Dowager Gu opened her lips, as if she was smiling, she looked at the morning light, the smile in her eyes was a little unclear, inexplicably making people feel dangerous.

"There was a time when I was a child, but we were separated not long after." Chenguang replied with an honest smile.

Gu Pan asked this question in advance than she expected, and Chenguang didn't think she would ask. This woman is more ambitious and scheming than Chenguang thought.

Empress Dowager Gu didn't care if Chenguang's words were perfunctory, Chenguang was willing to admit that this matter made Empress Dowager Gu a little surprised, but she quickly understood that women with power in their hands are the same, and the love between men and women is just a supplement after enjoying the joy of victory.

However, women with power are just as biased and selfish as men with power, and even if they are not the most important, they will still have more heart for one person than for others.

Empress Dowager Gu smiled, she said:

"I also saw Yan Ying when he was a child, at that time he was noble, intelligent, and the stars held the moon, and there was no one in Yicheng who didn't know the little son of the Yan family, but unfortunately his family fell later, and Yan Ying's whereabouts were unknown. At that time, it was rumored that such a young child must have died outside. Don't look at him coming back alive, after so many years, it's also pitiful. ”

Chenguang listened quietly and did not comment.

After a pause, Empress Dowager Gu changed her words and said:

"Since North Vietnam and South Vietnam were wiped out by Feng Ming, the situation between the five countries has deteriorated day by day, and the Chiyang Kingdom has always been a wolf ambition, and when the mainland was still the Seven Kingdoms, he tried in vain to order the other six countries to treat other countries as his subordinate states of the Chiyang Kingdom, and call them at will. Once the war starts, the purpose of the Chiyang Kingdom must be to exterminate all countries except the Chiyang Kingdom, so that the entire continent will belong to the Chiyang Kingdom.

Cangqiu country has always been the most important peace, especially now, the first emperor has died, my child is still young, there are enough internal worries, and then add external troubles, Cangqiu country is really unable to bear, no matter what happens in a hundred years, at least when I am still alive, I hope that the five countries on the mainland are peaceful. The idea of the Phoenix Lord should be the same as mine, although the Phoenix Lord destroyed South Vietnam and North Vietnam, but the Feng Ming Kingdom lives in the desert all the year round, and it is indeed aggrieved, and now the Feng Ming Kingdom is in ruins, and there are the villains of the South Vietnam Association in the country who continue to make trouble, and the Feng Lord will not want to have a war at this time. Between the five countries, no matter which two countries provoke a war, it will eventually turn into a war between the five countries, and the lives will be ruined. ”

Empress Dowager Gu's words were very sincere.

"Of course." Chenguang said, "The Feng Ming Kingdom has just experienced the war, and when I was alive, I really couldn't deal with the big war anymore, and what the Feng Ming Kingdom needs most now is repair. It's just that your country and Chiyang have been arguing constantly, and I, a small and wild country, can't speak, so I can only watch it in horror. ”

"Chiyang Country is deceitful and cunning, not to make the first move, but to challenge the endurance of various countries in various ways, Lord Feng don't think that it is none of his business, with the temperament of Chiyang Country, today he can innocently detain my Cangqiu Country caravan and blatantly rob the territory of my Cangqiu Country, and tomorrow it is possible to cross the border of Feng Ming Country to slaughter the people of Feng Ming Kingdom."

Chenguang pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile:

"So, how is Empress Dowager Gu preparing?"

"Although I don't agree with the war, I can't guarantee that the Chiyang Kingdom will not start a war, the only thing I can do is to strike first." When Empress Dowager Gu said this, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

This woman was more ruthless and decisive than Chenguang expected.

Chenguang fell silent, and after a while, she said with a smile: "Didn't Empress Dowager Gu just say that once two countries provoke a war, it will definitely set off a war between the five countries, and the lives will be ruined?" ”

"I'm referring to the Red Yang Kingdom. What is the Phoenix Lord afraid of, among the five countries, Cangqiu Country is the Feng Lord's ally, Emperor Longxi is the Feng Lord's husband, and only the Chiyang Kingdom is the biggest threat. ”

Empress Dowager Gu said, seeing that Chenguang was silent, she said with a smile:

"I'm not saying that the time is now, it's just that I'm a little curious, is Lord Feng's hesitation sure that the Chiyang Kingdom will not attack the Feng Ying Kingdom, or does the Phoenix Lord have the ability to fight against the Chiyang Kingdom alone?"

Chenguang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and smiled: "Empress Dowager Gu let me think about it." ”

"This is natural." Empress Dowager Gu replied with a smile.

After that, the two didn't talk about state affairs anymore, talked about the wind and snow, and listened to the beautiful sound.

Empress Dowager Gu not only likes to listen to operas, but also likes to listen to the piano.

When it was dark, Chenguang and Empress Dowager Gu were still listening to the piano with great interest, and the piano was playing happily, when there was a bang, the strings broke, the piano music broke, and the beautiful sound of the piano came to an abrupt end.

The violinist was so frightened that he didn't care about his bleeding fingers, and knelt down tremblingly to plead guilty.

Empress Dowager Gu was defeated, angry, and said angrily:

"Pull it down!"

Two eunuchs stepped forward and pulled the shivering luthier down.

Empress Dowager Gu apologized to Chenguang, saying that the piano master in the palace was too useless.

Chenguang's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of the piano master, there is a piano master in my palace who is superb, and he just brought it this time, why don't you listen to the Empress Dowager Gu too?" Don't be discouraged by your mistakes. ”
