Chapter 159: Abandonment
Master Gao really knew that this cheap son-in-law's only chance to turn over now was here, so he did not hesitate to use the information in his hand at all, and explained the old background of the Dongying envoy to King Lu over and over again, I was afraid that this cheap son-in-law would not hear it clearly enough.
King Lu has always been a careerist, and he may be able to use a scheming in other things, but in this kind of thing, he has never been ambiguous, how serious he is when he says it, how serious he remembers, and in the end, he almost memorized all the information that Gao said backwards.
The tall man saw that the hour was not early, so he left him to eat.
King Lu rarely ate at Gao's maiden house in the past, not because of anything else, but because he was a dignified vassal king, and there was no need to give Gao this face.
But this time he stayed for the first time.
Mrs. Gao naturally let the kitchen cook according to the highest specifications of the table, King Lu kept inquiring about the affairs of the Dongying envoys at the table, Gao is a transfer envoy, and what he is best at is improvisation, plus he later did a long time as a Cao Yun commander, so he dealt with the Dongying people a lot, seeing that King Lu was uneasy, he coughed a few words, and pointed to King Lu: "The prince doesn't have to worry about this matter, as you said before, those Dongying names, no matter who they are, if they can marry the princess of Da Zhou." , I'm going to have to go back and snicker. Nine times out of ten, this time it will be done. ”
was so comforted, King Lu still couldn't be completely relieved, and after eating, he urged Master Gao: "You pay more attention, this matter is thanks to you." ”
Master Gao agreed.
When he sent King Lu away, Mrs. Gao looked at him with some concern: "Master, now King Lu is a hot potato, everyone in Beijing knows that the saint doesn't like him now, at this time, let's not go back, but move forward, nothing will happen, right?" ”
Mrs. Gao didn't get any benefits from this son-in-law before, but her daughter was tortured by King Lu, she actually didn't have any good feelings about King Lu in her heart, and seeing that Lord Gao seemed to respect King Lu very much, she couldn't help but refute.
Master Gao knew what his wife was thinking in his heart, and shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Madam, I also know what you are thinking in your heart, but you just feel that King Lu has a cold heart, and it is really not worth us to help him so much." ”
was said to be in her mind, Mrs. Gao fell silent and did not say a word.
Of course she will have resentment, King Lu's style can undoubtedly teach anyone to be cold, she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with resentment.
Lord Gao glanced at her and sighed softly: "But now, the Gao family has no way out, you also know that our Gao family is completely in unison with King Lu's mansion, what good is it for us if King Lu has an accident?" ”
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, things in this world are so unreasonable.
Mrs. Gao kept her face calm for a long time and didn't speak, and then nodded slowly: "I know." ”
Master Gao also knew that she was unhappy, but now she was unhappy and there was nothing she could do.
When King Lu returned to the mansion, it was rare to finally have a meal, he looked at Chu Minghui and a few, and for the first time gave birth to a little fatherly heart, and said to them: "In the future, you must study hard, be filial to your imperial grandfather, and don't do some meaningless things!" ”
I didn't know I was a father for so many years, but now I do.
Chu Minghui didn't feel happy, he just felt ridiculous.
But he didn't bother to say anything more to this father, so he just nodded politely: "Yes, my son knows." ”
King Lu looked at them, and always felt that his sons were older in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
But now is not the time to be melancholy, he waved his hand to let his sons go down, sat in the study for a while, thought about everything, and then fell asleep with peace of mind.
The next day, he followed Master Gao to secretly meet with the envoys of Dongying.
The envoy of Dongying is called Yuexian Jianyi, a man in his forties, and his beard is a little strange.
He has been in the capital for a long time, but he has not been allowed to enter, so he has not seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
This time, I heard that King Lu was going to visit him, and he made a special trip to dress up and learn the rules of the Great Zhou.
Seeing King Lu this time, although he tried his best to be calm, he couldn't help but show a trace of pride: "I don't know what the prince is looking for me?" ”
These Dongying envoys are basically a little short, and their service is very different from that of the Central Plains, King Lu is actually 10,000 people who can't look at them, but at this time he can't care about these, so he coughed a few words: "There are some things I want to discuss with the envoys." ”
He glanced at Master Gao.
Gao Da sensed, he knew what he was here for, and at this time, there would be no mental obstacles, he looked at the envoy of Dongying with a smile, and said in a deep voice the situation in Beijing now: "The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites don't care much about Dongying's envoy this time, in fact, you don't have to blame, after all, what is the situation of Dongying now, you must know better than us, right?" ”
Yue Immortal Jian Yi couldn't hold it on his face, coughed and looked at him with a frown: "What does Lord Gao want to say?" I don't understand. ”
Master Gao smiled: "The envoy should know very well what I'm talking about, after all, for so many years, Dongying has not dealt with Da Zhou once or twice, but over the years, Dongying has come to Da Zhou as an envoy, and most of them have received some rewards at most, isn't it?" ”
Absolutely.
The envoy knew this very well in his heart.
But he didn't get angry, he just looked at Master Gao thoughtfully: "The adults know us so well, but they still meet us, they must have their own plans, right?" I just don't know, what kind of plan is it? ”
Although he hadn't seen any high-level officials in Da Zhou, he also knew that there would be demons when things went wrong.
His Royal Highness King Lu is the biological son of Emperor Yongchang, and now he will come to see him, and he always has a plan.
But what is there for him?
The barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, he is not afraid at all.
Sure enough, Master Gao pursed his lips, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and coughed before saying, "We know that you belong to the shogunate, so we want you to tell His Royal Highness Tokugawa that we are willing to let the princess of the Great Zhou make peace in exchange for peace between the two countries." ”
Rao is Moon Immortal Sword One was already enough to take it away, and at this time, he was still stunned by Lord Gao's words.
He didn't react for a moment.
After all, the Great Zhou has been founded for so many years, but he has never been close.
Not even a princess.
Warat pressed so hard, and Da Zhou never compromised.
But now, Da Zhou actually took the initiative to make peace with his own country?
