A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

After all, the territory of Jingxiang belonged to the Northern Zhou Dynasty before yesterday. The Northern Zhou Dynasty naturally wanted to take it back, but the people in Jingxiang were too united. When they heard that the young master of the Western Wei Dynasty was at their doorstep, the Xiangyang prefect who had loved the people like his son for decades supported the old master. It can also be considered as the right time, right place, right people and all the people!

As for the Northern Qi Dynasty, because of the well-known relationship between the Huaxu Kingdom and King Lanling recently, they felt that since she could fight for her husband's family, she could naturally add her territory to the territory of the Qi Kingdom.

But according to Yuan Wuyou's thinking, she would not hesitate to use the land of Jingxiang to start a business and restore the country. But now, if she dares to reveal her ambitions, Zhou and Qi will only join forces to suppress her.

This negotiation is really a life-threatening job.

Since the negotiation was in the afternoon, Yuan Wuyou still had the opportunity to walk outside Bowang City and think about countermeasures.

……

In front of Bowang Slope, green grass is everywhere.

Yuan Wuyou was walking alone on the hillside outside the city, thinking about what to make when he got to the negotiating table in the afternoon. Behind her were two young generals sent by the Xiangyang Prefect.

Originally, Gao Yanzong wanted to follow her just now outside the Central Military Tent of the Governor of Xiangyang, but as soon as he sent someone to report, he was stopped by Yu Yi, the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom who was waiting aside.

Yu Yi said directly:

"When I was in Longmen, Luoyang, the important official who presented the jade seal to the King of Huaxu was not allowed to meet the King in private for the sake of fairness at the negotiation table. You, a member of the Qi clan, still want to meet with her in private? On purpose... Ke Zhaoye !”

Later, when Yuan Wuyou went out, the governor of Xiangyang was afraid that Zhou Qi and Zhou would use some kind of honey trap or coercion and inducement to affect the outcome of the negotiation, so he asked his confidants to follow her.

It's not that outsiders are not allowed to approach her, but that everyone who visits and everything they say to her is recorded.

After a while, the faint sound of horse hoofbeats was heard behind him. The two young generals beside Yuan Wuyou were instantly alert and looked back.

So the three people watched helplessly as Zheng Guanqi, wearing armor, turned over from a white horse. Behind her were two soldiers dressed as Jing Xiang.

Zheng Guanqi was still a few feet away when the young general beside Yuan Wuyou shouted back: "Who is coming? Why do you want to see the king?"

Zheng Guanqi held a brocade book in his hand, and he knelt down on one knee a few feet away. He raised the scroll in his hand above his head and said respectfully:

"Xiaguan is the female minister of the State of Qi under the female Prime Minister Lu. In order to commend Zheng Xuannu for guarding the border city, Prime Minister Lu specially asked the Lord and the Queen Mother for instructions. In order to repair the diplomatic relations between the two countries, she wanted to marry a male from the clan to Hua Xu. This is a wedding brocade. The book has not yet been titled.”

To be honest, she didn't want to see this cousin. But now is not the time to hold grudges.

Yuan Wuyou raised his eyebrows, "What does this mean? Forced marriage?"

"No! There are no names of relatives in the brocade book. It is up to the king to decide who to marry, and the position is also arranged by the king."

Before Zheng Guanqi finished speaking, the young general beside Yuan Wuyou stopped and said, "Bold! Your Qi country is clearly a honey trap!"

Then another young general quickly knelt down in front of Yuan Wuyou, stared with big eyes, clasped his fists and said angrily:

"Your Majesty! You must never accept the imperial edict of marriage! Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Yuan Wuyou waved his hands helplessly, "I know what I'm doing!" Then he looked at Zheng Guanqi who was kneeling on the ground, "Now is not the time to discuss this matter. I already know the good intentions of Prime Minister Lu. Please come back, Minister."

Zheng Guanqi came to deliver the letter and showed his face, which actually achieved his goal.

So she said "goodbye." Then she stood up and turned around to leave.

Zheng Guanqi and his two soldiers got on their horses. After taking a few steps, they passed by the ghost-faced general riding on his horse.

Yuan Wuyou had just sent one away, but before he could even take a step forward, he watched as another one chased him... and he almost bumped into the guy holding the wedding brochure. Gao Changgong wore a red robe and gold armor, a phoenix-winged hawk and a ferocious ghost face on his head, and rode a majestic and beautiful white horse.

As he turned over and dismounted, he pressed forward with her step by step. The majestic and domineering general's aura around him really intimidated the two young generals beside Yuan Wuyou.

It wasn't until he was almost a few steps away that a young general boldly said, "Are you... Prince Lanling?"

"King Lanling, stop! You are not allowed to give or receive privately with the king!"

Yuan Wuyou didn't expect that Gao Changgong came after her aggressively, but asked her aggrievedly.

"Are you leaving? Are you leaving me?"

He used the toughest tone and said words that made her feel soft. Yuan Wuyou's throat was choked, but he still kept his heart and said in a cold voice: "The State of Qi is borrowing your money to plot to have the leader of Huaxu Kingdom serve them and to plot Huaxu's territory."

Under Gao Changgong's ferocious face, those dark and bright phoenix eyes blinked, revealing a bit of struggle.

"I heard that Zheng Guanqi came to deliver the marriage certificate... They all said that you and Gao Yanzong are more suitable, so whose name is written on Yuci's marriage certificate?"

"I'm not hiding it from you. There's no name written on it, it's just like a piece of blank paper, and I didn't confiscate it. Didn't you meet her when you came here?"

Ever since Gao Changgong heard about her affair with Gao Yanzong, he had started to murmur, but he never had the chance and could not speak out to question her.

Now that he was cornered, he still only asked:

"How could you conspire with those traitors like Prime Minister Lu and Governor Zu? Not to mention that you used your own tricks to get into the situation! Is it possible that cooperating with Gao Yanzong's seduction a few days ago was part of your plan?"

The little empress had a baby face with delicate eyebrows. She looked solemn at the moment and said indifferently:

"Prince Lanling, people in this world are not black and white, and neither is justice. I don't want to quarrel with you when we need to negotiate."

As soon as his emotions rose, the man's dark phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, and he unconsciously took another step towards her.

"I don't want to do anything wrong at this time, Yuan Wuyou. I, Gao Changgong, am an outspoken person and don't want to fight with others. I know that I am not worthy of the Lord of Huaxu. If you can stick to your heart and the people's wishes, I can... work together as brothers. Waiting for a wife. But!"

Upon hearing this, her amber eyes suddenly widened! When Yuan Wuyou heard this, he knew that Gao Changgong had not only heard about the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law, but had also given it serious consideration.

The two young generals beside the little empress were also dumbfounded when they heard this, and looked at each other in the back.

Before she could speak, Gao Changgong said quickly:

"If you insist on collaborating with the treacherous traitor, and you call it for me, I don't need it, and I don't want to help him do evil! I think love is sincere and pure. It can be used for daily necessities, but it can't be the hatred of the family, the country, or the chaos of the country."

Yuan Wuyou suddenly felt a chill in his heart and sneered.

"Gao Changgong, are you convinced that I will do whatever it takes to gain power and are you disappointed in me, or are you warning me not to become a coward?"

She gritted her teeth and asked questions sincerely, but Gao Changgong turned away and hummed:

"I'll say whatever I think of, you can think of it yourself."

After that, he strode away without hesitation or looking back.
