Chapter 81: The palace is treacherous

The sky was cloudy, and the sun pierced through the clouds and shone on the mottled walls. After more than 10,000 years of repairs, Xudu Pengcheng still looks old, just like this ancient country, gradually sunset.

The state of Xu, the oldest state established by the Xia Hou clan, has been in decline for a long time. More than two hundred years ago, Xu Guojun felt that his strength was strong enough, and he ignored the obstruction of Huai Guo to become king. As a result, he was beaten by Bang Zhou and other vassal states.

After all, Xu State is not Chu State, the territory is vast, the population is large, the first war of that year, Xu State suffered heavy losses, if it was not for Huai State to help, even if it was not destroyed, it would not be much better.

But even so, the Xu State did not fall, especially after the Huai State became strong, after a large number of Yi people surrendered to the Huai State, the Xu State basically had no future.

Xu Gong's feelings for Huai Guo are very complicated, looking at the little brother who was originally weak and needed his own support, he became the existence he looked up to in a blink of an eye, and now he is sheltering Xu Guo in turn, which will be uncomfortable for anyone.

Therefore, the relationship between Xu and Huai has also become unfamiliar, but in general, Xu is still an ally of Huai, not a vassal state, which has also been recognized by Huai Gong in previous dynasties.

After all, there are many intermarriages between Huai and Xu Guo, and there is a layer of in-law relationship.

After people have no existential crisis, they will begin to pursue all kinds of extravagant enjoyment, and at this time, people's IQ will plummet, and they will do all kinds of unbelievable things, which is the case with this Xu Gong.

The prince of Xu often married the daughter of Chen Guo's office, which was something that his brain was hot about. The relationship between Chen and Jin has become closer and closer over the years, and it is also the four kingdoms of Zhong, Huang, Cai, and Jiang that separated him from Chu, and after Chu could not threaten Chen, Chen began to move closer to Jin.

After all, Chu State's greed for land can be said to have been deeply touched by Chen State in the past few hundred years. Chen Guo and Xu Guo also want to please both sides. After all, Zhong, Huang Siguo, and Xu Guo were all around him.

On this day, Xu Hou Xu Rong was enjoying the song and dance in the palace, and after watching more songs and dances of the palace ladies, Xu Rong also felt unremarkable, so he sighed left and right: "Although Gu is the king of a country, but there is no beautiful noble lady to serve, how brilliant is the grand scene of the tribute of the six countries in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and now it is gone."

"If you can offer a beautiful woman, you will not hesitate to reward it."

"I heard that there are many beautiful people in the daughters of the Huaiguo Mansion, why don't you ask the Huai Duke for one?" The chamberlain next to him said.

Fortunately, Xu Rong is still sober, if he didn't marry, there was still hope, and now that his prince was going to marry, how could Huaiguo marry the daughter of the public office to him.

It was at this time that the prince often asked to see him. It turned out that the prince's wedding was approaching, and he wanted to send a secretary to Chen State to marry Chen Ying.

Xu Rong didn't take it to heart, and pointed to You Jiang, the close attendant beside him, and said, "Since the prince is going to marry Princess Chen Guo, you can go on behalf of the prince!"

You Jiang took the people who greeted him to Chen Guo, and when he saw Princess Chen Guo, he was immediately amazed by her beauty. After returning to Xu with Princess Chen, You Jiang did not inform the prince, but found Duke Xu as soon as possible.

Xu Chengcheng looked at the singing and dancing in front of him idly, unable to lift his spirits at all. Seeing You Jiang coming back, he just said casually, "Princess Chen Guo picked it up? How's it looking?"

You Jiang stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess Chen Guo is as beautiful as a fairy, and her elegance is peerless, compared to her, the beauties that Your Majesty has seen before have become rouge vulgar fans."

Hearing You Jiang's words, Xu Gong suddenly became interested and asked, "Is it really so beautiful?"

"Your Majesty, it's true, its beauty is not as good as your subordinates' description!" Yujiang Road.

Xu Gong's face was a little hesitant, and his fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

You Jiang waved his hand at those palace people and asked them all to retreat, and then whispered to Duke Xu, "Your Majesty, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman marries the prince, it's better for your lord to marry yourself!"

Xu Gong's face was happy, and then he hesitated a little: "This is a little inconsistent with the etiquette system!"

"Your Majesty, Chen Guo and Xu Guo are married, and there is no request

If it has to be the crown prince, so is the king!" Yujiang Road.

"The Prince?"

"The prince hasn't seen Princess Chen Guo again, so you can choose another wife for her, just say that Princess Chen Guo is good, or you can arrange for him to return to the fiefdom!" You Jiang said.

This was directly said to Xu Gong's heart, and Xu Gong immediately agreed, and then asked You Jiang to deal with this matter.

You Jiang received instructions from Xu Hou and immediately went to bring the woman he had prepared a long time ago, let her replace Princess Chen Guo, and then bring Princess Chen Guo into the palace.

When Princess Chen Guo saw that her husband was actually a middle-aged man in his thirties, she was very surprised and asked, "Isn't Prince Xu Guo sixteen years old?"

"The princess remembers wrongly, the princess is going to marry the king!" You Jiang next to him said.

After seeing Princess Chen Guo, Xu Gong was immediately attracted by her beauty, and completely abandoned the guilt and weakness in his original heart, and there was only one thought in his heart, then he must get her!

Immediately, Duke Xu married Princess Chen Guo instead of his son, and his eldest son was still kept in the valley and married another woman.

Because You Jiang gave a gag order, the people who went to get married did not dare to speak. But what is fake is fake, and after a long time, it will definitely be found that something is wrong.

Princess Chen Guo has a noble status, how can anyone replace her? Therefore, after a while, the prince found that his wife and Princess Chen Guo's identity did not match at all.

So he called the people who went to greet him and forced them to ask, and how dare these people hide it, so they told the matter. The crown prince, who learned the truth, was often ashamed and indignant, and went directly into the palace to find his father.

Seeing his son who rushed in angrily, Xu Chengcheng hugged Princess Chen Guo to watch the song and dance.

The prince often saw the beautiful woman in the fallen city next to his father, and his heart ached: "Such a beautiful woman is my wife! Does the monarch have any scruples about father-son affection when he behaves like this?"

"Bold, as a son, that's how you talk to your father?" Xu Hou said angrily.

The prince's face was often full of resentment: "Do the walking path, but what should a father do?"

"Rebel!" Xu Hou was furious: "Rebel and rebellious, go back to your fiefdom for Lone, without Lone's order, you are not allowed to leave the fief for half a step!"

Then Xu Hou sent people to forcibly escort the prince Chang back to his fiefdom, and cut his fief by half, leaving only a small city.

And the prince often became more angry after being escorted back to the fiefdom, and according to Xu Gong's practice, his position as prince could not be kept.
