Chapter 251: Bargaining
Palace.
"I've seen Your Majesty. Gu Tingjun clenched his fists and said goodbye.
Dugu Qiyun raised his eyes and glanced at him without being salty, and said, "I received a report this morning that the Great Zhou Mission is still on the way, and you, the envoy, came quite quickly." ”
Gu Tingjun smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you learn from Your Majesty?"
After a pause, he continued, "Thank you Your Majesty for taking care of Tachibana all these days. ”
"In what capacity do you Xie Zhen?" Dugu Qiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with disdain.
"Ann Tachibana's husband. ”
"Huh. Dugu Qiyun smiled coldly, "Whether you are worthy or not, you know it in your own heart." ”
"That's not what Your Majesty said. Gu Tingjun raised his eyes and smiled slightly, "All in all, the foreign minister is sincerely grateful to His Majesty for taking care of Tangerine's kindness." ”
"Is this thank you just a lip service?you have to come up with something practical to thank me, right?" Dugu Qiyun asked with an eyebrow.
"Your Majesty is really not a person who will suffer. ”
"I also want to know what the value of Tangerine is in your heart. Last year, you were able to send Tachibana to me in order to keep me from sending troops to the Great Zhou, and now I want to know what you plan to use to exchange her back. Dugu Qiyun said sarcastically.
"Every time I think about that incident, I regret it very much. Your Majesty doesn't have to tease me about this matter, since you know that you are wrong, you will not be wrong a second time. Gu Tingjun's face turned cold, "Your Majesty's kindness to Tang An is not only me, but our Majesty is also very grateful. At the moment, not only my Great Zhou has internal troubles, but also a lot of internal troubles in the Yu Kingdom, and the collusion between the Sun family and the remnants of the Great Prince in the south should be imminent for Your Majesty, right? If they do it, then they will inevitably incite the nomads in the north to attack back and forth. The northern grasslands have hated Yuguo for a long time, and Your Majesty also understands in your heart that if the two places send troops together, what are Your Majesty's chances of winning? What Your Majesty means is that Da Zhou is willing to cooperate with you to exterminate the remnants of the south, and Princess Yaruo of the Northern Grasslands and my relationship with Tang An You also know that she may have the ability to stop it. ”
After a pause, Gu Tingjun continued: "As long as the south is wiped out, and there is conclusive evidence of the collusion between the Sun family and the remnants, the power of the Sun family in the capital, Your Majesty will destroy it, and it will not take much effort to blow it away." ”
Dugu Qiyun's eyes sank for a moment, thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a generous gift, and I am going to be tempted." However, this generous gift is too valuable, and if I accept it, I am afraid that my heart will be disturbed. ”
"If Your Majesty thinks that the gift is too heavy, why not give some in return?" Gu Tingjun asked.
"Tell me about it. Dugu Qiyun rubbed his hands and said, "I like to take advantage, but I don't believe that pie will fall from the sky." If it was a fair deal, I would have felt more at ease. ”
"First, the tribute with the northern nomads was halved, and the second was to re-sign the alliance with the Great Zhou, return to Qincheng, and exchange trade. Gu Tingjun said.
"Hehe, you're not here to thank me, you're here to rob, right? The northern tribute has been halved, and it is my Yu Kingdom that suffers, but it is the Zhou Dynasty that they are grateful. Qin Cheng is my Yuguo soldiers desperately took it, you can take it back in a few words, how can I explain to those soldiers who died in battle?" Dugu Qiyun sneered, "Gu Tingjun, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become humorous." ”
"Your Majesty wants to solve the disaster of Yuguo in one fell swoop, and you have to pay some price. Gu Tingjun said, "If the north and the south send troops at the same time, Your Majesty will divide them into two places, and it will be easy for the Great Zhou to send troops to recapture Qincheng, and besides, Yuguo has been at war with the north for many years, and it always takes some sweetness to ask them to give up this great opportunity for revenge." Your Majesty and Qincheng promised, and the north will have a great Zhou for you to see, so that you have no worries. Speaking of which, Da Zhou Ren did his best, and His Majesty took advantage. ”
"You are also worried about sending troops in Da Zhou, right?" Dugu Qiyun sneered.
"It used to be, but now it's different. Your Majesty Jiang Huawei should have heard of her great name, right? In the vicinity of Lingyu Pass, she formed a cavalry army, which was directly under the command of our Majesty, and could help Your Majesty quell the rebellion on the left, and send troops to take Qincheng on the right, all of which were in the mind of Your Majesty. Gu Tingjun said.
"As you said, I'm not a loser. Dugu Qiyun thought for a while and said, "I can promise you your conditions, but I also have two conditions. First, you have to stay in the capital to help me get rid of the Sun family, so that I believe that Da Zhou will keep his promise, and if you stay, I will really rest assured. Second, Qin Cheng can be returned to you, but you have to exchange things for it. It's better that Yuguo and the Zhou Dynasty are both Qin and Jin, and if you marry a princess, then Qincheng will be my dowry, so that I can explain to the people of the world. ”
"The Minister is not in a position to make a decision on this matter, but must consult with our Majesty. Gu Tingjun said.
"Anyway, you have to stay to attend my wedding, don't worry about this matter, you just have to discuss it with your majesty. Dugu Qiyun said, "The two of us really don't get along, seeing you, I feel that everything in my body is wrong." ”
"Each other, each other. Gu Tingjun said, "Since Your Majesty doesn't like the foreign minister, then the foreign minister will retire first." Ju An is still waiting for the minister outside, and if she can't see the minister for a while, she will not be happy!"
"Get out of you!" Dugu Qiyun sneered on his lips, and scolded silently in his heart, "The villain has a will!"
Gu Tingjun walked out of the main hall, Su Tang'an was waiting outside, leaning on a tree, seeing him come out, he greeted him, took his hand, and asked, "It's all over?"
"Well, it's over. Gu Tingjun held Su Ju'an's hand, "I originally planned to take you out for a walk, we came to Yuguo, and we should take a good look at the customs here, but after last night's incident, the Sun family is only afraid of staring at you, and it may not be safe to go out now, so I can only wronged you to accompany me around the palace." ”
"Hmm. Su Tang'an nodded briskly, "Although I have lived here for a long time, I don't like to go out on weekdays, so this palace is still very strange to me, so let's go around here first." Anyway, with you, the scenery around here is the scenery. ”
"Tachibana. Gu Tingjun curled his lips happily, not to mention how proud he was, "I didn't know before, you are so good at talking about love." ”
"Really?" Su Juan was a little strange, "I'm just saying what I think, was I so duplicitous before?"
"Of course, it's duplicitous!" Gu Tingjun smiled, "After you recover your memory, you won't say nice things to me again, right?"
"I don't know. Su Juan shook his head gently, "If you make me unhappy, I won't say it again in the future." ”
"You are really honest!" Gu Tingjun pinched the tip of Su Tang'an's nose, only to feel that there was a beloved woman by his side, the sun was extraordinarily brilliant, and the sky was extraordinarily blue!
Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun walked hand in hand in the palace, attracting everyone's frequent sideways, in everyone's hearts, this Xia girl is His Majesty's woman, and now Xia girl is so close to a man openly, does she not want to live?
It wasn't until noon that the two returned to Linxia Palace to have lunch with Xia Haiyang.
Yan'er was waiting on the side, sighing that she had actually looked away, this Your Majesty is clearly in love with Miss Xia, who would have thought that this Miss Xia not only did not become Your Majesty's concubine, but had a husband, how can this be called Your Majesty's affection?
After Su Cheng'an had lunch, he went back to the house to take a nap. Gu Tingjun and Xia Haiyang were talking in the courtyard.
"Thank you grandfather. Gu Tingjun sincerely thanked, "If it weren't for my grandfather, I really don't know when I would be able to find Tangerine!"
"Come on, it's just fate. Xia Haiyang said, "It means that the girl is destined for us." ”
He gloated and glanced at Gu Tingjun, and said, "But grandpa has to give you a reminder, this girl is not the Su girl she used to be, you have to be careful, don't provoke her if it's okay!"
"Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"
"She has a strong internal force, but she doesn't know how to control it yet, if she uses it skillfully, even I may not be her opponent, let alone you. Xia Haiyang said, "You can't beat her, don't offend her in the future, so as not to suffer for yourself." ”
The corners of Gu Tingjun's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
"And when are you going back?" Xia Haiyang asked, "This golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own kennel, although this palace is gorgeous, but I can't get used to living in the old man! If I had to protect that girl's safety, I would have left a long time ago!"
"It may take a few more days to grieve my grandfather. Gu Tingjun said, "We have to wait at least until after Dugu Qiyun's wedding before we can leave, and we still have a lot of things to do before that." I'm here for a trip, and bringing it back is just one thing, and there's other things to do. Tachibana has no memory now, and if my grandfather is by her side to protect her, I am very relieved in my heart. ”
"Your calculation is loud!" Xia Haiyang snorted, "But I'm not protecting your daughter-in-law, I'm protecting the future head of my Tang Sect, and when the matter here is understood, I will take her back to the Tang Sect." ”
"No problem!" Gu Tingjun said briskly.
His face paused, his eyes sank slightly, and he asked, "Grandpa, have you ever heard of Poison Immortal Mo asking for medicine?"
"What's the talk of this old monster?"
"This poisonous immortal is unpredictable, there was news that he went to the capital and had a close relationship with the Marquis of Xuanyuan, and later received news that he came to Yuguo. Gu Tingjun said, "I don't know the purpose of his coming to Yuguo, but if he encounters it, it will be a trouble." ”
"The whereabouts of this old monster are indeed unpredictable. Xia Haiyang said, "He likes to use living people for experiments, and the methods are indeed very outrageous, if you meet him, get rid of him, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people!"
