I want your dead head.
The talented man almost lost his temper, but he still held it back.
After all, the dog's head matters.
Moreover, he does have something else to do, and that is to open up trade between the two countries. He originally wanted to discuss this matter after the marriage was confirmed, but now he is still waiting.
The emperor doesn't respect martial ethics, so there is no need for him to be polite anymore.
He came immediately.
Hearing this, a minister couldn't help but said: "Lin Qingfeng, this is a state matter. Isn't it an unreasonable reward for you?"
Lin Bai said: "This is a state matter and a private matter. Lin is also a businessman."
"What's more, this matter has great benefits for both dynasties. Once the trade route is opened, the people of the Wu Dynasty can easily buy goods from the Li Dynasty. Similarly, the goods of the Wu Dynasty can also enter the Li Dynasty. The two sides trade with each other, and the court can also charge a certain amount Tariffs and replenishing the national treasury, why not?”
"The alliance between the two countries should not just be a paper covenant. People should also participate in it and communicate closely to facilitate the people of the two countries."
"Moreover, mutual business can promote economic development and improve people's living standards, which will benefit both countries without any harm."
"If His Majesty Wu Chao is worried, you can set up a pilot project first. The foreign minister is in Changjin County..."
Lin Bai immediately explained the benefits of mutual business.
In fact, everyone understands the truth, but it was just because of the relationship between the two countries, the fact that each country has always been closed, and the lack of corresponding regulatory systems.
But Lindbergh did.
After listening to his explanation, Gu Changqing was obviously moved. In addition, he had already said it before, so he nodded and said: "Forget it! Since you brought it up, I can make an exception and give it a try."
Hearing this, the talented man felt slightly comforted.
Gu Changqing glanced at him again at this time and said: "Lin Qingfeng, I am very optimistic about you, how about I give you another choice?"
Lin Bai looked confused and a little confused.
Just listen to Gu Changqing continue: "If you stay in the Wu Dynasty, I will promise you a high official position and a generous salary, and I will try my best to help you and the Chu family's daughter, and even let you become the consort. Whichever of my princesses you like can be used."
Lin Bai:......
I'll do it!
What kind of plane is this? Do all emperors like selling their daughters so much? Trimmed with gold? It seems that no one is surprised.
Are the daughters in your family as good as those ladies in your family?
What are you thinking about?
The talented man complained in his heart, but naturally he did not dare to say so, "Your Majesty is joking, the foreign minister is just a scholar, how can he be so valued by your majesty, and the foreign minister has several wives in Lichao, and his family is also in Lichao... …”
Chu Jingtian also looked surprised at this time. He obviously didn't expect that the great talent would be so valued. For some reason, he felt a little proud in his heart.
Especially after hearing the talented man's polite refusal, I felt even more indescribably arrogant.
It's necessary. The emperor's daughter can't be compared to his own daughter, how can he not be arrogant!
Gu Changqing's eyes were deep, and there was a faint smile on his lips. His eyes were still a little stern, but they quickly disappeared and he said calmly: "That's it! It's because I made things difficult for others, so don't mention it!"
"Lin Qingfeng, you are very good. I have prepared the letter of alliance from Li Chao. I will give it to you to take back to Li Chao after it is finalized in two days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Wu Chao."
"Um!"
Gu Changqing nodded, "There's nothing else to do, please step aside for now! I'm waiting to see your performance and see how you win the beauty back, so go ahead!"
"yes!"
Lin Bai didn't waste any time and immediately left the imperial garden.
Looking at his back, a coldness flashed across Gu Changqing's eyes.
Not far away, Gu Ling'er arrived at some unknown time and happened to see this scene. His bright eyes flickered and he subconsciously looked at Lin Bai's retreating back.
After a moment, he walked towards this side and said, "I have met my father."
"coming!"
The coldness in Gu Changqing's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a touch of kindness. He looked at Gu Ling'er and then waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
All the ministers and servants retreated.
Gu Changqing then looked at Gu Ling'er again and asked, "Have you really thought it through?"
Gu Ling'er looked firm and replied: "Yes! I have thought about it carefully and am willing to leave the court."
"Why?"
Gu Changqing asked, "You are my daughter. I don't need marriage at all. No one is qualified. As long as you don't want to, I guarantee that no one can make things difficult for you."
Gu Ling'er said: "Thank you very much for your concern. I am not reluctant. This is my decision. I also hope that my father will be merciful and allow me to take Xiaojiu with me to leave the court."
"Because Lin Qingfeng can cure Xiaojiu's disease, but he needs time. Erchen can only take Xiaojiu on the road. When Xiaojiu recovers, Erchen will send him back."
Gu Ling'er's expression was firm.
Gu Changqing said: "In order to cure Xiaojiu, that's why you agreed to Li Chao's marriage?"
"I can let Lin Qingfeng take action, but you don't have to."
Gu Ling'er said: "No need, I will leave the court voluntarily."
Gu Changqing said: "Give me a reason."
Gu Ling'er paused and finally said: "My son likes Lin Qingfeng. In Zhengyang County, if it weren't for him, my son would be dead."
A flash of surprise flashed in Gu Changqing's eyes, he frowned slightly, and said after a while: "If this is the case, I can ask Li Chao to change the marriage candidate and let you marry Lin Qingfeng..."
"No need!"
Gu Ling'er said, "I will pursue the person I like, and forcefully tie them together. This is not what I want."
Gu Changqing was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are just like your mother, you are so stubborn and strong."
"I follow you, just do whatever you want! Remember, you are my daughter, and I and Wu Chao are your confidence, so you don't need to have any scruples."
"Thank you, Father, I understand."
Gu Ling'er bowed and then said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Go!"
Gu Changqing nodded.
Gu Ling'er immediately turned around, and just after taking a few steps, Gu Changqing's voice came from behind again, "Ling'er, I'm sorry!"
Gu Ling'er paused.
Gu Changqing continued: "I am the emperor. I want to protect the Gu family. There are many things I have to do. I hope you can understand."
Gu Ling'er was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I understand."
"However, my father has many concubines, but my son has only one concubine."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Gu Changqing looked at the retreating figure with a look of pain on his face, "You still blame me after all."
At this time, an old eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."
Gu Changqing paused for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's withdraw!"
The old eunuch was startled for a moment, seemingly confused.
Gu Changqing said: "After all, I owe them my sister and brother. Since he can save Xiaojiu and is Ling'er's favorite, let's keep him for now! He is just a useless scholar. The fourth child may be making too much of a fuss."
"yes!"
The old eunuch nodded and immediately retreated.
…
Some people died, but not completely...
