Zhu Liang's face looked a little ugly, and the first thing he said when they met was, "Mr. Lin, the situation is not good."
"What's wrong?"
Lin Bai asked puzzledly.
It’s just a matter of marrying a wife. See how anxious you are. The talented man said that it’s not difficult to marry a wife! m.
Girls in this era are well-behaved and easy to coax. If it weren't for the kidneys, ahem...
The two talked about the matter immediately.
It turns out that Zhu Liang and Wang Ruhai have been making connections all day today, relying on connections and gossiping.
Needless to say, they really gained something. They probably learned that His Majesty Wu Chao was not so resistant to marriage, but the specific princess was not yet certain.
Of course, this is not the point. This is a good thing for Zhu Liang. The bad thing is that the Jin Dynasty envoy got involved.
Zhu Liang said: "We learned that there are many people in the Wu Dynasty who support the Jin Kingdom mission and support marriage with the Jin Kingdom, and the leader is the eldest prince of the Wu Dynasty."
"Their faction is very powerful..."
That's it?
Seeing the nervous expressions on their faces, Lin Bai said that this was a big deal?
Seeing the arrival of the Jin Dynasty's envoy, wasn't it expected? Whether it was Li Dynasty or Wu Dynasty, there could not be only one voice inside.
Since some people agree to form an alliance with Li Chao, naturally some people also agree to form an alliance with Wu Chao, which is normal!
Wang Ruhai said: "Many people in the Wu Dynasty coveted the Hu people's war horses. Many ministers believed that since they were going to get married anyway, they naturally had to choose the one that would benefit them the most, so many ministers supported the Hu people."
To put it bluntly, those people could not see the benefits of forming an alliance with Li Chao.
Even if it can be seen, it is not as realistic as a war horse. This is a weapon that can directly improve the strength of the army, so.
The two of them panicked.
But Lin Bai was as steady as an old dog and said: "It doesn't matter, His Highness Wu Chao will not ally with the barbarians. If he really wanted to, he would have done so long ago."
Zhu Liang asked in confusion: "Why?"
Lin Bai curled his lips, "Because of culture, even if the people in the court agree, the people will not agree..."
The Hu people are a nomadic people, completely different from the Li Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty. Their culture is different in all aspects. A short-term peace is possible, but it is impossible over time.
Moreover, because of the shortage of food, the Hu people often burned, killed and looted at the border. The hatred among the people was so great that the possibility of forming an alliance was completely non-existent.
But, it's absolutely minuscule.
Moreover, the Hu people are too aggressive, unless His Highness Wu Chao's brain is kicked by a donkey.
Wang Ruhai nodded subconsciously and said: "Having said that, the news we have received so far is that His Majesty the Wu Dynasty is considering this matter, and it is very likely that we will compete with the Hu people."
"If this is true, I'm afraid..."
It was obvious that the two of them were still worried.
Lin Bai didn't take it seriously. He didn't believe that His Majesty the Wu Dynasty would be so stupid. Moreover, nomadic people lived in no fixed abode. Which princess could bear it?
"Don't scare yourself, you will know when the time comes."
Zhu Liang nodded, and seemed to think it made sense. The key point was that it didn't matter what they said, it still had to depend on His Majesty Wu Chao.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, the date for the reception banquet has been confirmed, it will be in three days."
The so-called reception banquet was a banquet held by the Wu Dynasty to receive envoys. It was usually a symbolic formality between the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.
It's great that a prince will accompany you.
But this time is different, Zhu Liang said: "Because the two countries' missions are participating together, and it is for the purpose of marriage, it is very likely that the Wu Dynasty princess will participate."
Hey!
Blind date?
It doesn't seem impossible. Since you are marrying a princess, let's have such a banquet so that both parties can see each other, just in case they fall in love with each other, right?
Lin Bai didn't care, it was none of his business anyway, he would just eat and drink.
The two talked for a while and then retreated.
Lin Bai thought for a while, then called Ji Xiaofeng and asked, "Has anyone come to see me today?"
Ji Xiaofeng replied: "Except for the students from Tianli Academy, who came to ask when you are free to go to Tianli Academy, there is no one else."
Depend on!
The talented man was a little unhappy, but that bitch didn't react at all?
Could it be that you’ve done too much research and didn’t even know you were here?
Don't say it! Not really sure.
At the same time, in a room filled with all kinds of strange things, Chu Xiangyun also received a report from his servant.
His bright eyes lit up slightly and he asked, "He went to the bookstore?"
The maid Du Juan replied: "Yes, Miss."
Chu Xiangyun's eyes were filled with amusement, and he asked again: "Then what was his reaction?"
Du Juan thought for a while, "Shopkeeper Yang didn't say anything, so there shouldn't be any reaction."
Chu Xiangyun asked: "Didn't you come to Chu's house?"
Du Juan shook his head.
Hearing this, Chu Xiangyun immediately snorted, his silver teeth chattering, "Asshole!"
Du Juan obviously saw what the lady was thinking, and said tentatively: "Miss, if he doesn't come, we can go!"
Chu Xiangyun glared at her and said, "Why should I go?"
Du Juan rolled her eyes and said, "Go and urge the update! Miss, you don't know how popular Dream of Red Mansions is. Shopkeeper Yang has reprinted it countless times. Every day, people are crowded outside the bookstore, asking about the latest chapter. "
"There are also people from the palace who came here to inquire and ask for the following chapters to be delivered as soon as possible."
Chu Xiangyun arched his eyebrows when he heard this, "You are right, I will go and urge the update."
"I also want to ask about grandma, right!"
As she said this, she couldn't wait any longer.
Dujuan hurriedly said: "Miss, it's getting late. Let's go tomorrow! It won't be good if someone sees us."
Chu Xiangyun said disapprovingly: "I am going to urge you to update, what's wrong with that?"
She said as she opened the door.
I saw a figure standing there outside the door, and it was Chu Jingtian.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Chu Jingtian did not answer, but asked: "Where are you going so late at night?"
Chu Xiangyun said: "I'll just walk around casually."
"Just take a walk?"
Chu Jingtian snorted, "I'm going to see the great scholar from the Li Dynasty! I'm not allowed to go."
"father!"
Chu Xiangyun suddenly became unhappy, "He helped us take care of the princess. My daughter went to ask what happened?"
Chu Jingtian said: "My father will thank him specifically for this, but not now. The marriage is undecided at the moment. There are many officials in the court saying that we are old ministers of the Jing Dynasty, and they are ostracizing and suppressing us."
"What's the point of you going to see him now? And it's still late at night. Once word gets out, what will happen to you and the second prince?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiangyun became even more unhappy, "I don't care about the second prince or the second prince, my daughter will not marry him."
"You are presumptuous!"
Chu Jingtian said, "It's rare that the second prince doesn't dislike you. What else do you want?"
Chu Xiangyun said: "Doesn't he dislike it? He just wants dad's support and the things I have in my hands, hypocrisy!"
"Be bold!"
Chu Jingtian shouted: "No matter what the reason is, the second prince helps you find famous doctors everywhere and doesn't mind the scars on your face. This is enough."
"Don't think that dad doesn't know. Ever since you left the court, you've been wandering all day long. Are you attracted to that boy? But is he attracted to you? Will he not mind the scar on your face?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiangyun trembled, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
