Chapter 264 Chenglong Jia's son-in-law
Gao Wei's authority is getting heavier and heavier, and the orders he gives are that even if it is late at night, the subordinate officials inside and outside the palace must get up from the warm bed overnight to run errands.
Although the specifications of the palace banquet are not as good as the banquet a few days ago, it is by no means smaller, and it takes time to operate.
However, His Majesty the Emperor's Chrysostom had been opened, and the holy decree could not be disobeyed, so the officials up and down had to grit their teeth, and finally held a decent palace banquet in the middle of the next day.
The former prince of Liang and the current prince Xiao Cong are listed among them. Before the emperor arrived, the princes could talk in a whisper, but he was not included. Except for the officials of Honglu Temple who came up to say hello, basically no one came, even if it was a few words of greeting.
Also, Jiangling, a small country, the emperor of Qi negotiated with the Southern Dynasty, saying that half of it would be cut out, and half of it would be cut out, even his father Xiao Yue had no choice, not to mention that he was a son who entered Jinyang as a hostage?
The lonely boy sat alone, drinking sullen wine. Wang Cao also sat next to him expressionlessly, looking at Xiao Cong's decadent appearance, a little heartbroken, and whispered: "Your Highness, please take care of your body, drinking is easy to make mistakes." ”
Xiao Cong smiled miserably and said: "I understand the prime minister's kindness, but now, my Liang country, if I make a mistake, how many family businesses can be defeated?" ”
Wang Cao frowned, silently scanned the surrounding environment, and his tone was a little stern, "Your Highness said carefully, this is Jinyang, not Jiangling." He tilted his head and slowed down his tone, "We can't live or die now, if Your Highness's words are heard, it will inevitably ......."
Xiao Cong put down the wine cup and sighed. At this time, the rogue of the inner servant Huang Zhengda sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty has arrived!" The ministers of the palace instantly held their breath and concentrated and cleaned up their clothes.
Xiao Cong only felt a compelling momentum rushing towards him, and when he raised his head, the emperor's long and straight shadow was close at hand, covering half of the daylight that was obliquely shining in front of the desk.
The moment the emperor bowed his head, Xiao Cong only felt that the momentum was about to crush him, and his heart seemed to be held in his hands, and he now truly realized what it meant to be involuntarily alive and dead. He faced this king of a country, and his life was in his hands!
His Majesty, who was a little younger than him, was destined to be the fate of the king of a country. If a person's momentum is so strong that he can't hide it, then he will not have any other identity in this life except for the king of the world.
Looking at the past from Xiao Cong's point of view, against the light, although it was only a few steps away, he could not see the expression of His Majesty the Emperor clearly, and could only see the fine cloud patterns on the dark crown robe. Xiao Cong stood up solemnly, pretending, and did not dare to raise his head.
Gao Wei's expression was kind, and he said with concern: "I see that the prince's face is not very good, is he too tired after a long journey?" ”
Xiao Cong said respectfully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, ...... It's okay. ”
Wang Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the prince still remembered their identities at this moment.
The Liang State is now attached to the Northern Qi Dynasty and is a vassal of the Great Qi Dynasty, so he is afraid that Xiao Cong will be a young man, and he will not bow his head in the face of this Qi lord.
At the same time, he also secretly observed the every move of this majesty, this majesty was very young, only slightly older than the prince, with a smile on his face, but the black eyes were calm and unfathomable.
"The Son of Heaven should be like this." Wang Cao suddenly had this idea at that moment.
Wang Cao has read countless people in his life, although he is loyal to Xiao Yue's father and son, he can't help but say that Xiliang is under the wings of His Majesty, and I am afraid that there will be no day when he will never come out. He is so young and ambitious, Xiliang is sheltered by him, and he will never have the opportunity to make a comeback.
The national fortunes of the Liang State were exhausted as early as the Hou Jing Rebellion!
Wang Cao's previous intention to come to Jinyang to plan for Xiliang gradually faded, and he was discouraged for a while. Gao Wei didn't bother to observe him, he said to Xiao Cong: "If there is something wrong with the prince, you can play it directly to me, and just treat Jinyang as your own home." ”
He ascended the royal steps and ascended to the throne. The ministers of the palace, including Xiao Cong and Wang Cao, all kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live. Gao Wei raised his hand to order Zhu Qing to be flat, and the singing and dancing entered, and the singing and dancing posture was extremely gorgeous.
After Wang Cao was stunned, his mind cleared up a little, and he just watched coldly. Presumably, Lord Qi wants to reenact the story of Liu Chan and have a happy time.
This is not good, although the prince is hostage in Jinyang, how can he stay away from Jiangling for a long time, Xiao Yue wants to have a case, what should Liang Guo do?
He thought about it secretly, and Qi Lord Gao Wei suddenly looked at them, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the prince has a marriage match?" ”
Xiao Cong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The minister has not yet married a wife." ”
Wang Cao was so shocked that he almost stood up, Gao Wei didn't give him room to play, and then said:
"In this way, I have a little girl, ten years old, smart and cute, but I am a little naughty by me, haha, she is young, I don't discipline her much, but her appearance and character are the best choice......
"A few days ago, the queen said to me that it was time to set a family affair for Baoqing, and when I saw the prince today, I felt that the prince was a good match for ...... talent."
"—Your Majesty!"
A voice interrupted Gao Wei's words, and a touch of gloom flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he looked unhappily at the person below the steps, it was Wang Cao.
Some of the courtiers were immediately furious and shouted, "Wang Cao, you are very disrespectful! ”
"Unexpectedly, the southerners are so ignorant of etiquette, and they don't know the dignity of kings and ministers!"
"......" Gao Wei was silent, his eyes were like deep pools, and he looked at Wang Cao.
Wang Cao had beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his face, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"When it comes to the marriage of the prince, the ministers don't dare to put their beaks, but they just ...... It's just a major matter of marriage, it has always been the order of parents, my king is not here, His Majesty will set a marriage for the son, is there a ...... Is there something out of order? ”
"Bold, don't you know what a monarch is?! Your Majesty is magnificent, favoring the prince, this is the princess who has always been regarded as a treasure to marry, do you want to resist the decree? ”
Zu Ting was "furious", arched his hand at the emperor, and his eyes squinted at Wang Cao, "Even the Turkic envoys came to ask Your Majesty for His Royal Highness Baoqing, but Your Majesty did not agree, but you dare to refuse, isn't this contempt for Your Highness?!" ”
Wang Cao hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just considering the etiquette law, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice!" ”
Gao Wei smiled lightly, and his cold face changed in an instant, and he nodded approvingly to Wang Cao, and said, "That's right, since the royal family is an example for the world, I can't ignore the etiquette, Wang Qing reminded him very right......
As if Wang Cao had won, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Cao's heart became more and more pinched. In the next moment, I only heard the emperor say: "In this way, I will write a letter and send it to Jiangling to ask for the opinion of King Liang, how about it?" ”
Final word. Wang Cao was completely defeated, and the emperor put on this posture, and he had already eaten them. Liang Guo is still under the front of the Qi State now, and the emperor's letter was sent over, is it possible for Xiao Yue to dare to discuss with Gao Wei?
Besides, the emperor married his favorite sister to the prince, and the Liang State should beat gongs and drums to celebrate. How dare you refuse?
Even if Xiao Yue and Xiao Cong had the courage to refuse, what reason did they have for refusing?
I'm afraid that just after handing over the letter of state, the Lord of Qi will send troops to destroy the Liang State in a few days!
Although Gao Wei is mostly considered at the political level, he married his sister and married Liang Guo, but he never had nothing to think about her.
He observed for a few days, this Xiao Cong looked handsome, generous by nature, knowledgeable, and skilled in arching and horses, which can be called both civil and military.
With her own little sister, her little sister is not too aggrieved.
And this person's heart is ......, after Xiao Cong descended to Sui in history, he has always been obscure, honest and responsible, and it is obvious that he is a person who can carry it clearly.
Later, although Yang Guang was jealous of him because of rumors, he didn't kill him, but just demoted him to a commoner.
With such a good look and such a heart, isn't it Yuanyuan's son-in-law? The guilt in Gao Wei's heart was instantly swept away, and he smiled and raised his glass to accept the congratulations of the ministers.
As for what Xiao Cong thinks below, Gao Wei doesn't plan to pay attention to it, Xiao Cong is a smart person, sooner or later he will be able to figure it out himself.
The banquet dispersed, Wang Cao was about to go to find the son, and suddenly was blocked by a few palace people, and the small inner servant led by him was different from the inner servant next to him, and the etiquette was thorough, and he couldn't find the slightest fault.
He said to Wang Cao: "Please also ask Prime Minister Wang Cheng to go with the slave maid." ”
Wang Cao's pupils shrank, full of vigilance, but his face was silent, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, please."
