Chapter 158: Trade-offs
At first sight, Chang Gonggong also saw King Lu's mood now, and he didn't drag his feet, so he said straightforwardly: "Lord, Niangniang sent our family to talk to you." ”
King Lu has really not had a good time in the past few days, not to mention that everyone has lost a lot of weight, and even the flesh on his cheeks is a little sunken.
In the past few days, he has also inquired, and knows that Ying Changshi is now in the edict prison, and the Jinyi guard is impenetrable, and he has not revealed anything useful at all, so he doesn't expect this time to be good.
He can go to Jizhou to raise horses, which can already be regarded as Emperor Yongchang's open side.
By now, he was about to accept his fate, and when he heard Father-in-law Chang say this, he asked in a somewhat depressed tone, "What's the matter?" ”
The mother must have been very disappointed in him, all these years what chips have been pressed on him, for him to help move Concubine De, let Princess Baochuan take King Qi out of the palace, but the matter was not done, not to mention, and now there is still a troublesome incident in the east window.
Concubine Xian's life in the palace should not be easy.
Chang Gonggong's voice was lowered: "Concubine Xian Niangniang said that the matter has come to this point, and it will not work to complain about the heavens and others." The prince is a man of great wisdom, and he should know how to save himself. Now the Wara side is eyeing the tiger, the border is under pressure, and the imperial court does not want to fight now, so the attitude towards Dongying is a little subtle, if the prince can think of a way to persuade the envoys of Dongying to calm down the fighting, this time, it is not without a turnaround. ”
King Lu was a little puzzled.
Of course, he knew that the court was now worried about internal and external troubles, so Emperor Yongchang sent him to Dengzhou before, intending to collect military power.
But Dongying's matter is not so simple to solve, otherwise, are you still waiting for him to come?
Unless there's something good about it.
He frowned: "I know this too, but"
Gonggong Chang said expressionlessly: "Concubine Xian Niangniang means that you can propose peace with the envoys of Dongying." ”
And pro?!
This time, King Lu was really shocked, he seemed to realize something.
The mother concubine would never say this for no reason, and now that he has reached the point of desperation, the mother concubine asked him to talk to Dongying and talk about peace.
And pro, who will be pro?
Naturally, it is a princess.
But who and relatives have the greatest interest in him?
He already understood what Concubine Xian meant.
Seeing that he was stunned and didn't speak, Chang Gonggong said slowly: "Presumably His Royal Highness also understands what Niangniang means, Niangniang said that she will help His Highness in matters in the palace, you just need to go and talk to the envoy of Dongying." ”
The Dongying mission came with more than 1,000 people this time.
But in fact, as many people as they came, they always came to talk about peace, and as a result, they still violated the coastal areas from time to time after they returned.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty hated the Japanese Kou more than they hated the Warat people.
In the past, King Lu naturally looked down on these Dongying envoys.
To put it mildly, he can't give these people face, they are just making some trouble anyway, and they have no impact on the royal family.
But this time, he realized that Dongying was really the last card he could use.
He immediately stood up and saluted Chang Gonggong with joy: "Thank you, father-in-law!" I beg you to tell my mother, I will never let her down! ”
Concubine Xian is really his mother! I could have thought of such an idea!
King Lu didn't hesitate at all, and as for the kiss would be her own sister, he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Anyway, sooner or later, you have to get married, and it's not the same who you marry?
Marrying a Dongying person is the same as marrying an ordinary person.
After sending off Chang's father-in-law, he couldn't wait to go to Gao's house.
Lord Gao and Mrs. Gao are still sighing, their daughter is dead, and King Lu is going to Jizhou to raise horses, and the future status of the Gao family is also in jeopardy, after all, their involvement with King Lu is too deep, and it is impossible to go to others again.
Seeing King Lu coming, Lord Gao was still a little scared, thinking that King Lu had come to him for ideas.
But now, what can he do?
I didn't know how to send King Lu away, but King Lu looked at him excitedly: "Taishan, now there is another way, I hope you can help me!" If it is done, this king will thank you for a lifetime! ”
The words are a little unclear, and the self-proclaimed ones have become messy.
Seeing him so excited, Lord Gao didn't want to hit him too much, so he asked tentatively, "I don't know if the prince is planning."
King Lu couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart, and hurriedly told Concubine Gao's opinion.
Lord Gao also didn't expect Concubine Xian to come up with such a method.
This is really giving up his daughter to protect his son!
At first, Master Gao thought it was ridiculous, but then he realized that this method was really feasible!
The Dongying people have never seen much of the world, their own place is so big, and there is nothing to produce in the land of projectiles, plus those princes and daimyo call back and forth every day, so there are so many ronins and bandits on the island, and they want to run to Dazhou all day long, and go to the coast of Dazhou to plunder something.
In the past, it was impossible for Da Zhou to propose peace.
Just kidding, why be pro?
I haven't been with Wara, and I still need to be with Dongying?
However, the situation is different now.
After several natural disasters, the taxes of this year's Great Week are really not collectible, and I see that the military department goes to the household department every day to ask for silver, but it just can't come out, let alone fight.
Warat is eyeing it again, and has already invaded it several times.
In this case, if the envoy of Dongying proposes to marry and there are more people in the court, it is difficult to say that the cabinet and Emperor Yongchang will not be moved.
And once this thing is done, King Lu can be regarded as a great achievement.
Even if Emperor Yongchang doesn't like this son anymore, but in the end, he is his son, at least he will not go to Jizhou to raise horses again.
This is naturally a good thing for the Gao family.
Master Gao said: "It's just that the envoy of Dongying heard that he was very arrogant, but I am afraid that he may not take the initiative to ask for marriage." ”
If the envoy of Dongying took the initiative to ask to marry the princess, it would be difficult for Da Zhou to refuse.
At this time, the seventh princess took the initiative to marry, which is righteousness.
This is a plus point for King Lu, who is his own brother.
King Lu regained a little calm at this time, and laughed lightly: "What's the hurry? They are calling back and forth, for nothing more than such things, but how much dowry do we have to marry a princess in Da Zhou? This account, to settle with them, we don't need to say anything more, but I'm afraid that after they weigh it, they will come up and beg us to agree. ”
This is a fact, Lord Gao squinted his eyes and hurriedly invited King Lu to sit down.
