The power of the Great Qi State is growing, and the authority of the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty is also flourishing, and no one dares to take advantage of it. Even if the Southern Dynasties and the Turks had such and such contradictions with the Great Qi, no one dared to jump out to find the Son of Heaven unhappy.

The emperor said a few words according to the usual practice, explaining that everyone ate and drank well, and announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

Although it is boring, although it does not say anything substantial, it is a process that must be followed after all, and it must not be crossed.

Murong Shi was worried all day, thinking that the Northern Qi side was going to make things difficult for him, but he didn't mention a word until he cautiously proposed to leave, and the Honglu Temple didn't say a word, just let him take care of himself all the way...... Lian Yue's worries and calculations were left in the void, which made him feel glad and faintly disappointed at the same time.

Contrary to Murong Shifu's treatment was Xiao Cong, the king of Liang.

As the only vassal king with a different surname under Gao Wei's command, Xiao Cong can be described as trembling and walking on thin ice for the center of Northern Qi.

The last time the Northern Qi attacked Zhou, Jiangling also supported 5,000 troops, and countless grains, grasses, and baggage; When the emperor issued an edict to let Yu Wenshu and Wei Xiangyuan go south, Xiao Cong generously opened the border to let the Qi army enter, and did not mention any territorial claims after the victory.

Xiao Cong put his position very clearly, although he is also the king of a country, but the gap between him and the emperor is too big, the emperor of Qi only needs to blow a breath to make the Liang country sitting in a corner of Jiangling go up in smoke.

Therefore, after the Xiao father and son surrendered to Qi, they have always been cautious of their duties as courtiers, and they did not dare to exceed the slightest, and they did not disobey the orders of Qi State.

According to the practice of previous years, Xiao Cong only needs to send a few cousins to go to this court meeting, but this year the emperor specially issued an order to Jiangling and asked King Liang to "go to Ye for a while". The emperor's majesty seems to be a thousand weights, and Xiao Cong does not dare not come.

But Xiao Cong's view of the future is pessimistic.

Not only Xiao Cong, but also the whole Liang country is the same, thinking that King Liang is going to be more auspicious. In the past, there was a Northern Zhou on the side, and the Liang State still had to be elected, and the Northern Qi did not dare to move, and now all the north of the Yangtze River are surnamed Gao, and the emperor of the Great Qi looked at his own Kanyu map every day, and saw that there was a piece on the riverside that did not belong to him, didn't he feel abrupt? Don't you feel glaring?

Therefore, once Xiao Cong goes, it is very likely that he will be the same as the King of Chu entering Qin, and he will never return!

If it's not good, the entire Liang country will be annexed by homeopathy!

Although Xiao Cong was worried, he couldn't come up with any good solutions, let alone resist the order.

All the way slowly, finally caught up with the court, until the dispersal of the dynasty, sure enough, there were a few small yellow doors wearing dark clothes and hats were already waiting, as soon as he saw Xiao Cong, his face bloomed with a happy smile, smiled and said happily: "To the king to see the gift, Your Majesty set up a banquet in the Golden Tiger Platform for the king to catch the wind, please talk to the king, the king can be sure to appreciate the light to attend." ”

Just after a feast and then another feast?

Xiao Cong looked up at the sky, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to look at the clothes on his body, and said helplessly:

"Can you allow Xiao Wang to bathe and change clothes first?"

"Hey, no, no, Your Majesty said, the king is not an outsider, there is no need to make so many vain heads, Your Majesty is in Jinhutai, just go over directly." After the eunuch finished speaking, he walked up to Xiao Cong and made a gesture of please.

Xiao Cong knew that he couldn't resist, so he had to go with him.

Golden Tiger Terrace is a magnificent building that is no less than the scale of Tongque Terrace, no different from the palace, and much more exquisite, it is winter now, the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming vigorously, a dark fragrance strikes people, refreshes people's hearts.

Several eunuchs brought him into the hall, and then he silently retreated.

Xiao Cong involuntarily straightened his waist, fixed his mind, and raised his eyes to look around. This is a wide hall, on both sides stand a bronze crane incense burner, the crane's beak is wafting green smoke, the hall is placed with all kinds of rare antiques, there is a calligraphy on the table, the ink on the silkworm yellow paper is vigorous like a dragon, elegant as flying, the name is the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xiao Cong likes literary affairs, and also loves this kind of thing, seeing that there is no one around, he involuntarily took a few steps forward, and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the table carefully, just as he was fascinated, a voice sounded coldly from the side:

"King Liang also likes calligraphy?"

Xiao Cong struck a spirit, hurriedly moved away from the table, turned to that side, and bowed down. The Emperor came out from behind the screen at some point, staring at him with interest. At this time, the emperor had already taken off his heavy crown robe, dressed in black regular clothes, and only dressed as an ordinary scribe, but his whole body was calm and extraordinary. He happily helped Xiao Cong up, and then said to him with a smile:

"After a few years, King Liang will be fine?"

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine with the minister...... Well, His Majesty Lao is worried. Xiao Cong replied solemnly.

Gao Wei pretended to frown in displeasure and blamed, "I reminded you earlier, you are not an outsider in my eyes, why are you so restrained? Come, sit down and talk, aren't you tired of standing? Xiao Cong noticed that although the emperor did not look very happy, his tone was actually kind, and he was quite satisfied with his attitude. Xiao Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said respectfully:

"Yes."

Then he knelt on the throne, Gao Wei put his hand on the copper stove, felt the heat from the palm of his hand, and suddenly smiled: "On such a cold day, I summoned you from all the way from Jiangling, it is really embarrassing for you, you have no palace in Yecheng, and I will let someone build one for you on the edge of the palace another day, so that you will not stay in the Honglu Temple." ”

Xiao Cong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty summons, the minister naturally wants to come." ”

The emperor's sentence of letting people build a palace on the edge of the palace made Xiao Cong's back explode, and he always thought that it was full of deep meaning, so he quickly remedied it and said loyally:

"But since it is the residence of the minister, how dare the minister let His Majesty break the bank? The cost of building a family house should be borne by the minister. Although Gangneung was poor, he could afford to build a mansion. ”

His reaction was seen by Gao Wei, Gao Wei knew it in his heart, but his face was still silent, "How can this be?" The court naturally has the rules of the court, you are the king of Liang who I canonized, and I am the sister-in-law of my king, so it is reasonable, I should build one for you, and the fire in the east palace of my rabbit cub is being repaired, and it happens to be built with you. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"You don't need to say it, this little thing is not enough to worry about, this year's two wars of Zhou and Chen, you Jiangling are people and efforts, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, if you build a palace for you and you have to pay out of your own pocket, doesn't that make the world laugh at me and be stingy? It's so decided, family, don't grind and chirp. Besides," the emperor paused, glanced at the screen with his eyes, and said slowly: "In a few years, when you and Baoqing get married, there will always be a time when you live in Yecheng, so it will be the wedding room I gave you." ”

There was a little girl's "ah" cry from behind the screen, and then someone seemed to cover her mouth, and the screen suddenly fell silent again.

The atmosphere was delicate for a while, Xiao Cong was restless, and Gao Wei showed no signs of embarrassment: "Are there any elders in Wenwen's family?" ”

Xiao Cong didn't know why the emperor was asking, but he still replied seriously: "No, Chen's mother has just passed away, and there are only a few brothers and sisters." ”

"Oh, the festival mourns......" Gao Wei paused, and then asked, "Then have you ever married a concubine before?" ”

"Nope."

"Where's the bed warmer?"

"Not either." Xiao Cong's eyelids twitched.

No? Is it so clean? Gao Wei looked Xiao Cong up and down for a long time, and then nodded with satisfaction and said, "I really didn't see the wrong person...... Don't be too nervous, my little sister is handsome, wait another year or two, and make sure that she will be too lively by nature, and marrying you will not be able to humiliate your family, that ......"

At this point, Cushman and Wakefield paused again, obviously not knowing how to make it up. Xiao Cong hurriedly rounded the field: "The princess is the most noble in the world, and the ministers must treat the princess well, and dare not forget the monarch and the minister's system." In general, Xiao Cong is still very good, Gao Wei let people serve a few dishes and drink a few cups, Xiao Cong took the opportunity to retreat, Gao Wei achieved his goal, and did not stop it, and waited until Xiao Cong was gone for a while before sitting back in his position.

"Everyone is gone, and they haven't come out yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several women turned out from behind the screen, and Queen Hu Lu said with a smile: "It turns out that this is King Liang, he is really gentle and not arrogant, and he looks good, Baoqing peeked behind him just now, and his face blushed for a while." The emperor raised his glass and took a sip, silent, and then Baoqing came out slowly from behind, and in a few years, the little girl's film gradually grew, and her eyebrows were like a beauty.

Xiao Cong had been walking for a while, and her face was still flushed, like the red plums blooming outside the hall.

Gao Wei took another sip, couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you still like this husband I picked for you?" Baoqing's face became more and more red, and after Gao Wei asked a few questions, she was so ashamed that she simply hid behind the screen again and disappeared.

"She's shy, she must like it."

The queen looked at her running away, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and the look of worry replaced her, "Xiao Cong is generous, erudite and well-written, and is indeed a good son-in-law of Yuanyuan, but the concubine knows that His Majesty has the ambition to dominate the world, and Liang Guo's retreat in Jiangling will eventually become a stumbling block for His Majesty...... If one day, His Majesty wants to eradicate him, then Yuanyuan ......"

"No," Gao Wei interrupted her and said coldly: "I can understand that Xiao Cong wants to preserve the foundation of his ancestors, but it is hard to say how resolute Xiao Cong's will to protect the foundation of his ancestors can be. My sincerity is already there, he has lowered me, and he is still his king of Liang, if he didn't figure it out before, it's not too late to start thinking about it now. ”
