In the imperial study of the Chengguang Palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou hummed a small song while reviewing the recitals.

Sun Kui, who was waiting on the side, saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou was in such a good mood, and wondered in his heart, why was the emperor in such a good mood, was it because he gave Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King?

It is not a small matter to give Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King, but the emperor has no signs at all. He has always followed the emperor's side, and every time the emperor wants to do something, although he will not tell him a slave, it will be more or less revealed. This time, however, there were no signs at all.

Sun Kui thought of Emperor Wu of Zhou's temperament, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed in his heart: The matter of giving marriage should not be a temporary decision made by the emperor, right?

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Sun Kui was thinking. The sound of his mouth humming a little song is getting louder and louder, but the tone is also getting more and more weird.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou shaking his head so happily, Sun Kui felt that his guess was right, the emperor was afraid that he really gave Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King on a whim.

Sun Kui hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy, is it because His Royal Highness the Acting King is coming back?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou just finished reviewing a bunch of folds. Closing the fold in his hand, he looked at Sun Kui with a smile: "Didn't you see the expressions of those people?" ”

"The expressions of those people?" Sun Kui was slightly stunned, and immediately understood who those people Emperor Wu Zhou was talking about, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the adults listened to your expression of giving Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou supported his face with his right hand and smiled with interest: "Aren't their expressions wonderful?" ”

When Sun Kui heard Emperor Wu of Zhou say this, he became more and more sure in his heart that the marriage decree of the early dynasty was temporarily decided by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"The slave was stunned when she saw many ministers, and even He Xiang and Taishi Liu were also frightened."

"Isn't it interesting?"

Sun Kui said respectfully: "Interesting. "The emperor really loves to play tricks on people." Your Majesty, shouldn't you marry Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King because it was interesting? ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou glared at Sun Kui, "Am I so boring?" ”

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you are so boring!

"Then why did you suddenly give Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King?" Sun Kui added, "You have frightened the ministers. ”

At this time, a little eunuch brought a cup of tea, Sun Kui hurriedly stepped forward to take the tea, and then respectfully brought it to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou picked up the teacup, bowed his head and took a few sips of tea before saying, "I didn't suddenly decide to give marriage. ”

When Sun Kui heard this, he was surprised and said, "You have long wanted to give Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to His Royal Highness the Acting King." ”

"Hmm." After the news of the rebellion in Liangzhou was transmitted back to Beijing, Emperor Wu of Zhou decided to give Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the king in marriage.

In fact, this time the acting king went to Liangzhou to quell the chaos, and Emperor Wu of Zhou did not think that the acting king could successfully quell the chaos, after all, the situation in Liangzhou was complicated. Unexpectedly, the acting king fought for his own anger and really pacified the rebellious army in Liangzhou.

This time, the acting king successfully pacified the Liangzhou rebellion is a great achievement, whether as an emperor or as a father, the acting king should be rewarded. However, the ministers proposed to add beads to the acting king, but Emperor Wu of Zhou did not agree. Adding beads is the rule of the previous dynasty, although it was not the addition of beads that led to the demise of the previous dynasty, but it is still more or less related.

Emperor Wu of Zhou knew in his heart what the acting king wanted most, so he took this opportunity to fulfill the acting king.

"Your Majesty, Kong Taichang represents the Kong family!" Sun Kui's heart was shocked, it was impossible for the emperor not to know that this marriage would bring great benefits to His Royal Highness the Acting King, and it would bring great pressure to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui lightly: "I know." ”

"Then you ......" Sun Kui didn't dare to continue as soon as he spoke. Because he knew that as a slave, he should not ask any more.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't blame Sun Kuiduo, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning: "I know it in my heart." ”

Sun Kui said in a solemn tone: "The emperor is wise. ”

Emperor Wu Zhou's fingers rubbed the mouth of the teacup, and said meaningfully: "I hope I won't be disappointed." ”

Sun Kui was shocked: Does the emperor really want to abolish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and appoint His Royal Highness the Acting King as the prince?

At this moment, the voice of saluting the prince came from the door. Then, the little eunuch guarding the door walked in, first saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, then put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, the crown prince walked in and respectfully saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand towards him: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Father." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince straightened up and explained his intentions, "Father, the son is here to ask about going outside the capital to welcome the return of the second brother in the afternoon. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the prince up and down, and saw that his expression was calm, his eyes were calm, and there was no anger or unwillingness, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

The matter of marrying the acting king had a great impact on the prince, and with Emperor Wu of Zhou's understanding of the prince, the prince would be very angry and jealous. Even if the prince tried his best to hide it in front of him, his eyes would still show something.

The prince is a person who can't hide his emotions, and he can't do it without changing his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. If there is something in his heart, it will definitely be shown in his eyes.

However, at this moment, the prince's eyes were calm, and there was nothing. Emperor Wu of Zhou couldn't help but be a little curious about what the prince of Zhenguo said to the prince, how he could make the prince so calm about the marriage.

"What do you think?"

"Father, you said in the early court that you would let your sons take your younger brothers to greet your second brother, but what about the ministers?" The prince asked, "Which ministers are you going to take with you, or are all the ministers going?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

"Erchen thinks that the ministers should go to welcome the return of the second brother."

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded his head and said, "It's good for you to call the shots." ”

"Father, my son asks you for a holy decree."

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked, "What will you want?" ”

"A compliment to the will of the second brother." The crown prince said seriously, "The second brother has made such a great contribution this time, and the father, the emperor, you will praise him, which will not only let the people know the merits and hard work of the second brother, but also make the second brother happy." Erchen thinks that what the second brother wants to hear most is your compliment. ”

"You've thought carefully for him." Emperor Wu of Zhou said with relief, "Then according to what you say." After speaking, he turned his head to look at Sun Kui and ordered, "Draft!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou quickly wrote the decree and handed it to the crown prince.

The crown prince took the holy decree with both hands, and asked again: "Father, is there a celebration banquet for the second brother tonight?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou said: "He just came back, let him rest well tonight, and hold a celebration banquet tomorrow." ”

"Yes." The crown prince asked again, "Father, do you have anything else to explain?" ”

"I don't have anything to say." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "You have full authority in this matter. ”

"The minister is gone." With that, the prince respectfully withdrew.

After the crown prince left, Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?" Sun Kui asked suspiciously.

Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled meaningfully: "I laugh at the good skills of the prince of Zhenguo. ”

"Zhen Guogong?" Sun Kui didn't understand what Emperor Wu of Zhou meant.

Emperor Wu of Zhou leaned back with his whole body, then raised his legs and put them on the imperial table, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and said locally: "Didn't you see the prince's expression just now?" ”

"The prince's expression?" Sun Kui thought about it carefully, and said with a blank face, "The prince's expression is normal, there is nothing strange." ”

"I gave Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the acting king, how do you think the prince will react?"

Sun Kuiden understood what Emperor Wu of Zhou meant, but he didn't dare to say: "This ......" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be very angry and unwilling, but just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very calm, as if nothing had happened, which was very abnormal.

Emperor Wu of Zhou squinted and smiled, shook his feet and said, "There will be a good show to watch next." ”

Sun Kui: "......"

Your Majesty, isn't your attitude to watching the play not very good?
