In the palace of the capital of Liangguo, in the pavilion on the edge of the small building in the center of the lake in the imperial garden, there is a table of delicate and sumptuous side dishes, all of which are meat, very few vegetarian dishes, because the weather is still a little cold at this time, so they are all buckled with copper lids, which have not yet been opened, and there are even a few small charcoal basins next to them, which are taken care of by the inner servants, and chat to keep warm.

Gu Cang sat in the western position in the pavilion, and sitting opposite was Gu Yi and his biological mother, Empress Su.

"Huang'er, how is your health?"

Empress Su asked with great concern.

She didn't know until now that her son had refused to go to the shark clan for treatment, and thought that her condition had improved, so she stayed, and now she suddenly came to this pavilion for a small gathering, worried that Gu Cang's body would not be able to stand it, so she naturally asked.

Gu Cang grinned and said, "Mother, look at how ruddy my face is, it's already much better." ”

Saying that, she pinched her face very mischievously, judging from her appearance alone, her complexion was really good, Queen Su immediately nodded with satisfaction, but she didn't notice that her husband Gu Yi beside her had a look of self-blame in his eyes, and his mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that his wife and his most proud son were talking happily and chatting about family things, Gu Yi, the king of a country, waited quietly for a long time before he spoke.

"Emperor, how about going over there with your father to enjoy the scenery?"

Gu Yi said, pointing to a separate stone platform for fishing in the center of the small lake next to him, the place is not big, and there are only one or two people who can stand, and there is a road composed of small marble steps on the water surface, and the fishing platform can be reached directly from here and on the shore.

Empress Su glanced at her husband with some disgust, and no matter what kind of true dragon son the other party was, the king of a country, and the true master of the Liang country, she said with an angry expression: "What can't be said here? The emperor's health is not good, and he wants to go to the water's edge again, don't say that he fell into the water, just suffer from the cold, what should he do?"

Facing this wife who has been following him tirelessly since he was a little late, Gu Yi could only touch his nose helplessly, and said forcefully: "You also know that Cang'er is now forming a cabinet, and our father and son naturally want to talk about important national affairs, you are a woman's family, what are you involved with?"

Before his mother could refute again, Gu Cang stretched out his hand, pressed it on Queen Su's wrist, and said with a pleasant face: "Mother, I also have important things to say to my father, you can give our father and son a little time to be alone, is it okay?"

When it came to this, Queen Su's mouth was still unforgiving: "You father and son have seen a lot in the imperial study on weekdays, and I haven't seen you spare a little time for your mother and me." ”

"Mother. ”

Gu Cang had to use a coquettish tone, in the end, it was her own son, Queen Su was still soft-hearted after all, glared at her husband angrily, stood up from the chair with an unhappy face, and was still talking cool words: "Don't go to the stone platform, save the danger, or I'll make room for you two, lest someone chew the root of the tongue behind your back, saying that I don't understand the rules as a woman, Huan'er, let's go." ”

The lord of the harem gave an order, and immediately a personal maid next to him hurriedly walked over with her head down, and held Queen Su's hand very obediently, and the two of them stepped on the wooden stairs slowly and leisurely, and walked all the way outside, leaving only Gu Cang's father and son in the pavilion to look at each other, shaking their heads helplessly and smiling bitterly.

Now that Queen Su has left, it is not necessary to go to the small stone platform again, Gu Yi waved his hand, and Han Diao Temple immediately took the other attendants and guards to retreat obediently, walked thirty steps outside the pavilion, and stood guard for the two of them seriously, although he has superb martial arts and superhuman five senses, but this extremely powerful Han Diao Temple can only seal his ears at this time, and dare not listen more.

Seeing that the idlers and others had already retreated, Gu Yi spoke.

"Cang'er, do you know that the Jin Kingdom sent envoys to visit my Liang Kingdom?"

Gu Cang nodded and said calmly: "Naturally, and the one who is in the lead is Shangguan Qian, which is really surprising." ”

Gu Yi said solemnly: "I have already read the documents sent by the Jin Kingdom in advance, and this time there is more than one Shangguan Qian, and there is even Princess Chuyang of the Jin Kingdom and a prince who is weak in the crown year!"

"It seems that the meaning of the Jin Kingdom is marriage?" Gu Cang played with the empty wine glass in his hand and said slowly, " Princess Chuyang is the daughter of the well-known Duke of Chuyang of the Jin Kingdom, her father was originally the concubine of the Jin Kingdom, because of her extraordinary military achievements, and later she was crowned the first-class duke of the Jin Kingdom, and her status was respected, even the daughter was directly given the title of the princess by exceeding the rules, not the county lord, it can be said that she was favored by the emperor, and although the prince was not very favored, and the mother family was not noble, but at least it was also the justifiable Jin royal family, it seems that this Jin Kingdom is full of sincerity. ”

Gu Yi nodded, this son really didn't disappoint him, all major things are answered, there has never been an unknowing, in addition to the intelligence network under his hands is spread deep enough, he must also work every day, otherwise it is impossible to know everything, and immediately asked: "Then how do you think you should deal with it?"

Gu Cang carefully put down the wine glass in his hand, and then said quite contemptuously: "What is the Shangguan family? The Jin Kingdom is said to be a country, but now it is just a land of two states, although the place is rich, but the upper class will only play with power, the middle level is greedy for pleasure, the lower class people are ignorant and ignorant, up and down is like a piece of rotten tofu, Yanzhou Iron Horse wants to go out of Juyong Pass to break through the royal capital of the Jin Kingdom, it only takes half a month, such a family, is not worthy of being a relative of my Gu family." ”

Seeing that his father thought so, Gu Cang smiled slightly and continued to talk eloquently.

"Jin Guo is in a hurry, half a month ago I had a piece of information directly submitted to the imperial study, according to the news from the net, the royal family in the atrium is declining, and the princes of all parties are already ready to move, all want to settle the Central Plains, unify the entire Western Continent, and see that the north is about to be in chaos in the world, on this premise, I will analyze the psychology of the Shangguan family for my father. ”

"You must know that there are three neighbors of Jin, one is my Liang country, sitting on the southernmost part of the entire Western Continent of the whole six states, and after fifty years of rest, now it is a strong soldier and a strong horse, like a wolf and a tiger, there is a possibility of shooting at any time, the second is one of the vassal states of the northern atrium, Nanyang, the monarch of Nanyang also has the heart of the atrium, but after years of war with neighboring countries, the national strength deficit is serious, but the Jin country behind the body is weak and weak, but it is very rich, if it is conquered, not only can it be used to fill the deficit in its country, but also can be used as a strategic depth, once Nanyang is defeated, at any time can go directly south, preserve strength, and then wait for the time of the comeback, this alone, it is impossible for Nanyang to let go of this weak Jin Kingdom, not to mention that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, who will easily leave their backs to outsiders. ”

"The third point, and the most important point that prompted the current Jin monarch Shangguan Ming to make this decision, is that he is the in-law of the Shangguan family for generations, the Duanmu family, that is, the Wei Guo, you must know that the Wei Guo was originally a vassal of his Jin State, and he has secretly moved west and expanded a lot over the years, compared to the old in-laws who were defeated and retreated by the iron cavalry of my Liang State a few decades ago, losing the city and losing the land, Wei Guo stuck to a corner back then, but he stood firm, especially in these years, the prince of the Wei Guo Duanmu Shuofeng suddenly rose, the main force of the Zhongxing of the Wei Guo suppressed the rest of the princes, and he will definitely be able to ascend to the throne in the future, and that's it, the problem is that this son has the heart of a tiger and wolf, since he took power, changed the previous sense of low respect and respect for the Shangguan family, and even sitting on an equal footing could not even satisfy him, and vaguely seemed to have the intention of using a knife to the old in-laws. ”

Gu Cang said, stretching out his left and right hands, stretching out two fingers respectively, comparing each with a 'two', and then withdrawing his left hand, bending down a finger with his right hand, comparing one, and said with a light smile.

"Two states and two states are not as good as one four states. ”

Gu Yi's expression moved, and he said with great interest.

"It seems that you seem to have a high opinion of this kid from the Duanmu family?"

Gu Cang lifted the copper lid, and a burst of heat mixed with a rich fragrance rose, and he had already picked up a dead chicken head from the dish and said with a smile.

"Duanmu family's young phoenix, it's a pity that he can't live on the branches of the sycamore tree, but he fell into the mire, unable to extricate himself, pitiful, pitiful, when the manpower is poor, he alone can't stop my Daliang Iron Ride, not to mention that the Jin Kingdom will not give up all the land to him for dispatch. ”

Gu Yi nodded, and said: "The emperor's meaning is understood by his father, but since they are here, it is okay to marry a princess and relatives, as for the princess of Chuyang, it is okay to give it to Chuan'er, this is not a grievance against him, if the Jin Kingdom really marries us, presumably the Wei Kingdom next to it will be more anxious, so as to facilitate the division of the Wei and Jin countries, which is very useful, and it can also be used to plot against the Duke of Chuyang, and it can also reduce the resistance of my Liang Kingdom to the north at that time." ”

Hearing this, Gu Cang's brows furrowed, raised his head, and looked directly at the father in front of him who had always pampered him and even delegated power to his father early, the current emperor of the Liang Kingdom, and said in a deep voice.

"Father, if my sisters marry in the past, even if the Jin Kingdom now looks at the face of my Liang Kingdom, I will not wronged her, but after all, it is also a foreign country, this prince of the Jin Kingdom does not know what kind of conduct it is, the two have never gotten along with each other, how can they be happy, once my Liang Kingdom goes north, and my sisters are caught in the middle, how should I deal with myself?"

Gu Yi only thought that he was a brother and sister who loved him and sincerely thought about his relatives, not only was he not angry, but he was very happy, waved his hand and said: "Cang'er, you love your brothers and sisters so much, I am very happy, but marriage is the order of your parents, even if you are not satisfied with this prince, when the time comes, just let the Jin Kingdom pick out a prince with good conduct, even if the swords and soldiers meet each other in the future, as long as Tianluo secretly takes them over, uses them to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, and then appoints him to be the king of Jinzhou, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”

Gu Cang was silent, and only raised his head after a while, his voice low and weak.

"Since my father has already made a plan, then I will leave everything to my father. ”
