"Your Majesty, the Lord of Baihua Palace asks to see you,"

Gao Changgong raised his head, put down the pen for correcting the memorial, frowned, looked at Shangguan Yunfeng in surprise and said, "Baihua Palace, haven't they been in touch with Xing'er all the time, why did they come to me suddenly, do you know What is it?"

Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head and said: "I am also quite puzzled, if the emperor does not want to summon them, I will just send them back."

"No, let them in," Gao Changgong shook his head, straightened his clothes, and looked dignified.

Shangguan Yunfeng nodded and left, and soon she led the two of them to the imperial study.

"Ling Suhua visits the emperor, and wishes the emperor a long life and good health," Ling Suhua saluted Gao Changgong after entering the room.

"Palace Master Ling doesn't need to be too polite, give me a seat," Gao Changgong said with a smile as he saw a handsome and imposing young man who rarely followed Ling Suhua and did not salute with Ling Suhua, but he didn't care.

For Ling Suhua, Gao Changgong was very grateful. After all, not to mention that the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, the latter even awakened the joy in the coma. This is a great favor to both Gao and Daqi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

As the overlord in the dark night, Ling Suhua had her own pride, so she didn't show any flattered expression because of this, and thanked her calmly.

"Master Ling, I don't know why you are looking for me this time." Gao Changgong looked at the young man next to Ling Suhua again, and a subtle light flashed in his eyes. Although this young man was not very old, he faced This ninth-five-year-old himself is calm and unhurried, and from him, Gao Changgong saw a kind of innate grace, which would be difficult to have if he was not born in a noble family.

Ling Suhua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is not I who is looking for you for something important, but this son next to me, the Prince of Liang Xiao Yu,"

"Oh," Gao Changgong raised his brows and looked at Xiao Yu again. The latter took a step forward, humble but not humble, and said respectfully and calmly: "Xiao Yu sees His Majesty the Emperor of Qi, and may the Emperor be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than the sky." Qi," said Xiao Yu, bowing deeply.

"Excuse me," Gao Changgong waved his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiao Yu bowed again, straightened up, looked at Gao Changgong with modest eyes, and said, "The majesty of the emperor, Xiao Yu, has long been like a thunderbolt. lucky to be born,"

Gao Changgong chuckled lightly and said, "Emperor Liang has been doing well recently."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My Royal Father is in good health. When Xiao Yu came this time, my Royal Father urged me to bring his respect to you, Your Majesty, and my greetings from the Kingdom of Liang."

"thanks,"

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you know that the State of Zhou is preparing to send troops to invade your country again," Xiao Yu asked in a deep voice, his face suddenly serious.

The light in Gao Changgong's eyes moved slightly, a deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in doubt: "There is such a thing, does Yu Wenyun still want to stir up disputes between the two countries and plunge the people into dire straits? If you invite troops to attack again, I will let him know what it means to regret," Gao Changgong said in the last sentence, his voice was very low, and his body exuded a strong evil spirit.

Xiao Yu's heart trembled slightly, Gao Changgong's military background was indeed not comparable to Gao Wei's and his like, no wonder Qi State was able to defeat the coalition forces of Zhou State and Turks.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu said solemnly: "Not only that, the state of Zhou even sent envoys to the state of Chen and the Turks. If they want to unite with them and send them together again, your majesty should make preparations early."

Gao Changgong already understood Xiao Yu's reason for coming, so he said solemnly: "In this way, I really can't take it lightly, and I would like to thank the prince for reminding, but this will inevitably drag Liang Guo down, so what should I do?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Xiao Yu came to your country secretly this time. Firstly, he wanted to admire the majesty of the Emperor and visit his old friend, His Royal Highness. country alliance,"

Gao Changgong's eyes flashed brightly, he looked at Xiao Yu with scorching eyes and said: "Alliance,"

"It's an alliance," Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Although I, the Xiao family, own the Liang Kingdom, it's a vain act, and I have always been under the jurisdiction of the Zhou Kingdom, and I have suffered all kinds of humiliation these years.

Yu Wenyong passed away, Zhou Guo's power plummeted, Yu Wenyun was incompetent, violent, and bullied Liang Guo in every possible way. If this continues, sooner or later, my Xiao family will no longer have a foothold. Instead of this, why not To prepare early is to seek peace and prosperity for the tribe and the people under the rule.

His Royal Highness is both civil and military, which is rare in the world. He defeated the Zhou Kingdom twice and repelled the Turks. The world was shocked. The emperor is even more talented and generous. He is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. It is really the luck of the people and the luck of the world. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but there are [-] loyal men, and the determination to fight to the death with Zhou, if we can form an alliance with your country, we will be able to play an important role in the war between your country and Zhou."

The words have come to this point, Xiao Yu simply no longer hides, and reveals the intentions in his heart. Since ancient times, there have been many people who add icing on the cake, but there are not many people who give charcoal in the snow. If Chen, Zhou, and Turks really join forces, the pressure that Qi will face must be extremely huge. If Liang State suddenly turned against the water and attacked Zhou State's rear, Zhou State would be in chaos. At that time, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms would no longer exist, and Qi State would be able to turn defeat into victory. Xiao Yu believed that Gao Changgong would be tempted by his proposal.

Gao Changgong remained silent. He was naturally clear about what Xiao Yu said, but he was also tempted. Zhou State wanted to annex Qi State, so why did Qi State not want to destroy Zhou State, expand the territory, and unify the world? This is very important to every emperor. Great temptation.

It's just that the matter of forming an alliance is far from being as simple as talking about it. It concerns the interests of both parties, and Gao Changgong must carefully consider it.

After a long time, Gao Changgong looked up at Xiao Yu and said, "Prince Xiao, I have been fascinated by Emperor Liang for a long time, and you are an old friend with Xing'er. It is a happy event for your two countries to form an alliance. I am naturally very happy, but I just want to know, your country Sending troops to help me fight against Zhou Guo, but you want me to be a great Qi, once you turn against Zhou Guo, it will definitely be an endless situation."

"What the emperor said is very true, but this matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed in the long term." Xiao Yu smiled slightly, paused and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that Xiao Yu still needs to ask for the consent of the Emperor."

"What's the matter, please tell me, prince,"

A shy smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Yu's face, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, you have heard of my princess Xiao Shiyun of Liang Kingdom."

Gao Changgong raised his brows lightly, and said in surprise, "It's Princess Xiao Shiyun who is going to marry Master Zhou,"

"Yes and no,"

"How do you say that?" Looking at Ling Suhua who was silent at the side, Gao Changgong suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

"My sister's name is indeed Xiao Shiyun, but it is someone else who married Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyun. Yu Wenyun is a heartless person. If my sister marries him, she will only suffer a lot. Besides, this matter is not mine. The wish of Liang Guo is because the emperor has been trying to find a way to delay until now, "

Gao Changgong nodded, did not speak, waited for the next sentence, paused, Xiao Yu said again: "My sister has always admired His Royal Highness, but my daughter's family is inevitably shy and reserved, and has never dared to express her heart to His Royal Highness. As a younger brother, I want to propose marriage to the emperor, and hope that the emperor will agree to marry my sister to His Highness the Crown Prince.

My sister is not only my Princess Liang, but also the Young Palace Master of Baihua Palace. If I can tie the knot with His Highness the Crown Prince, it will not only create a beautiful marriage, but also be of great benefit to the alliance between our two countries. I don’t know what the Emperor wants. ,"

Finally confirmed the guess in his heart, but Gao Changgong frowned and fell into deep thought.

He had seen Xiao Shiyun before, and he was very impressed with that elegant and luxurious woman who even moved him, especially she had spent a lot of energy to wake up the joy, and Gao Changgong also had a good impression of her. Naturally, it would be best for Liang Guo to form an alliance. The relationship between the two parties will be much closer.

Now Gao Changgong intends to pass the throne to Gao Xing, but he is very distressed about some things, that is the candidate for the empress, Xing Xing has many outstanding women around him, but the crown princess has not had a clear answer so far , Gao Changgong once asked Gao Xing about this matter, but the latter avoided answering, coupled with the busy state affairs, this matter has been shelved, but if Xing Xing inherits the throne, some things need to be decided as soon as possible, after all, as the head of a country Jun, family affairs are state affairs, and many things must be done in accordance with the legal system and etiquette of the ancestors.

The daughters around me, Zhang Rong, Zhang Lihua, and Lu Hanyue were born in the market, and Wu Shun is the daughter of a businessman. Her family background is not considered noble, and she might not be able to convince the public as a queen; Yang Lihua is from a wealthy family, but her status is a bit embarrassing Not suitable; Xiao Shiyun is a good candidate, a princess of a country, born in a wealthy family, quite talented, with a gentle temper, is really a good candidate for the queen, but Gao Changgong dare not make a rash decision on this matter.

Gao Changgong looks gentle on the outside, but he is the most courageous and independent in his actions. Gao Changgong can't make decisions on many things, and he also faintly sees that Gao Chang has always been equal to several women. I'm afraid this is the reason why he always avoids the status of wives and concubines.

"Prince Xiao, I already know about this matter, and I will consider it carefully. You are tired from a long journey, please go down and rest first." Gao Changgong looked at Shangguan Yunfeng and said, "Elder Shangguan, Prince Xiao has a special status. Confidentiality is important, this matter needs to be arranged by you, Wan Mo has neglected the prince, "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiao Yu is leaving," Xiao Yu saluted Gao Changgong, then walked out with Shangguan Yunfeng, Ling Suhua was also about to leave, but Gao Changgong stopped her, frowned and said: "Palace Master Ling, your disciple Are you really in love with Xing'er?"

"It's absolutely true," Ling Suhua said with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't know that when His Highness the Crown Prince went south to Jiangling, he saved Yun'er's life. It was also at that time that Yun'er fell in love with His Highness the Crown Prince and never surpassed it. I also felt sorry for her." Only then did he come up with a way to deceive Yu Wenyun, "

"Liang Guo is very sincere, and I don't want to make people feel narrow-minded. I just really agreed to this marriage. I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of those good women and make Xing'er feel awkward."

"Your Majesty, this matter is difficult to say, easy to say but also easy," Ling Suhua said with a carefree smile.

"Oh," Gao Changgong sat up straight immediately, and asked, "Why did Palace Master Ling say that?"

"Your Majesty, I think the wives of His Highness the Crown Prince are all reasonable and understand the general situation. If the Emperor goes to inform the matter in person, I think they will have no objections, and His Highness the Crown Prince will not be embarrassed."

Gao Changgong was startled for a long time, then slowly closed his eyes, let out a long breath, then waved his hand lightly,
