Although Gao Yanhui spoke cryptically, Gao Baoxu still heard it.
It turns out that according to the rules, although Jingnan belongs to the vassal vassal of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, Jingnan still has extreme autonomy and is no different from an independent kingdom.
Normally, whether the Zhou Dynasty was conquering Shu in the west or conquering the Tang Dynasty in the south, he would always hint to Jingnan to go to negotiate an alliance. Because everyone knows that Jingnan is actually an independent regime. Even if it pays tribute to the Zhou Dynasty every year, it is just a weak regime paying some protection fees to the powerful separatist regime for the sake of security.
As for Jingnan negotiating the alliance, it was to show and prove that the regime attached to the Zhou Dynasty still had its own right to speak.
Therefore, when the Great Zhou Dynasty went south to attack the Tang Dynasty, Jingnan Gao Baorong sent people to Jinling more than once. Even though Li Jing felt aggrieved, he could not be angry at Jing Nan's dissuasion, but sent the envoy away politely. As for Southern Tang's surrender, it had something to do with Jing Nan's dissuasion.
So Dazhou, at least on the surface, still wanted to give Zu Jingnan face. Even if you send people south, if you want to go through Jingnan, you must follow the basic principles.
If you want to know why Gao Yanhui repeatedly mentioned the team to send off his bride, it is because the number of combatable soldiers in this team has exceeded 600. For the weak Jingnan, this was a force that could not be ignored, or even for any force.
What's more, the one taking advantage of the road now is Jiangling Mansion, which is the capital of Jingnan where the Gao family is seated. If this force of nearly a thousand people entered the city, everyone would weigh it. Not to mention the entanglement of the bride-offering team, even Gao Baoxuo, the leader of the Gao family, would not let these people enter the city.
Originally, everyone knew it well and no one would break this rule, but now there is another thing. This is what Gao Yanhui conveyed very clearly. The reason why Emperor Guo Rong wanted to get married was obviously because he and Lingnan had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
And because of this tacit understanding, there are some difficulties for the Great Zhou Kingdom! Although it is normal for a big country to pursue distant relations and close attacks, it is indeed a bit confusing to make friends with Lingnan, which is far away by the sea.
However, Gao Baoxu was not stupid. From Gao Yanhui's words, he could clearly hear some mystery. That is, Guo Rong is not only anxious, but also seems to be in a hurry. Because not only was the team sending the bride off in a hurry, but they also seemed to have set a time limit!
This made Gao Baoxu a little confused, because there were many ministers in the Central Plains now. If they went south to get married, they could send any one of them, but instead they sent Gao Yanhui, who had just surrendered. Not only was Gao Yanhui puzzled, but Gao Baoxu was also surprised.
After all, Gao Yanhui definitely has no foundation in the court. The reason why he surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty was obviously because he saw the magnanimity of Emperor Guo Rong or felt that the Central Plains was powerful. Now he has no choice but to rely on the puppet Han or the Khitan Liao Kingdom. There's a way out. But if the matter of getting married was very important, and it was sent to someone whose heart was not yet stable, I don’t know what Emperor Guo Rong was thinking.
So after hearing Gao Yanhui's statement, Gao Baoxu slowly picked up the clues. After all, Gao Yanhui is just the deputy envoy of Heqin, and the chief envoy is still from the Fu family. It can be seen from this that the person talking here should really be Gao Yanhui.
Gao Yanhui came to see him personally, or let Honglu Shaoqing Liang Zan accompany him. This matter was obviously not that simple. The smile on Gao Baoxu's face disappeared, he looked at Gao Yanhui and Liang Zan in front of him, and said calmly: "If Master Gao has something to do, he should go to the tenth brother of a certain family. A certain family has no power or position in Jiangling Mansion. I'm afraid it will be difficult." Only those who can help tall people!"
It seemed that Gao Baoxu would say this, but Gao Yanhui did not respond immediately. He glanced at Liang Zan first, then at Wei Qi and Lei Zhenzi, and finally said calmly: "Actually, no. I’m sorry, if I hadn’t inquired about my husband’s methods and benevolence, a certain family wouldn’t have asked Mr. Liang to come with me!”
Seeing that Gao Baoxu had no intention of intervening, Gao Yanhui increased his energy, lowered his voice slightly, and said quietly: "This matter is not only the emperor's intention, but also the princess and the empress who are getting married this time. I have personally instructed a certain family to come here, and I hope that Mr. Lang will be kind and righteous and help the court this time!"
Hearing what Gao Yanhui said, not only Gao Baoxu's expression changed, but also the expressions of Wei Qi and Lei Zhenzi on the side changed! Because although there are not many words, it contains too much information.
The court obviously knew that passing by Jiangling Mansion would obviously waste time. But for some unknown reason, not only the emperor was anxious about this move south, but also Princess Luquan who was sent to get married!
When it comes to marriage matters in history, nothing has always gone smoothly. The protagonists of every marriage are usually tragic figures, and most of them don't want to go through with it. That's good. Not only is the emperor anxious, but even the princess and his wife are so anxious. This kind of thing is a bit too rare.
Seeing that although Liang Zan didn't say anything, he still looked solemn, Gao Baoxu finally knew that Gao Yanhui was not joking. Of course, he knew that Gao Yanhui would not make such a joke, but this matter involved too much. So Gao Baoxu looked at Gao Yanhui quietly. For a moment, it was strangely quiet here, and it was also so depressing that it made people feel uncomfortable!
"Master Gao's words may be difficult for a certain family to implement!" Gao Baoxu did not relent. Although he had no real power and did not care about the military in Jingnan, he at least understood some truths. That is, if this team is allowed to enter the city, if it brings disaster, the Gao family may be destroyed.
Therefore, Gao Baoxu cannot be so stupid and would not do this!
Unexpectedly, Gao Yanhui bowed to the ground, and then said with a straight face: "A certain family will definitely embarrass you if they know this, but I have already received the news before. If you want to bypass Jiangling Mansion, there is indeed a shortcut! But this matter Without the children of the Gao family, it would be difficult to achieve it. That’s why a certain family comes here cautiously, hoping that Langjun Dayi will facilitate it!"
"Because this can prevent the team from entering the city, and can pass through Jiangling Mansion as quickly as possible. It will not embarrass Lang Jun afterwards, and it can help the court! Lang Jun, please tell me why this matter should not be done? If it hadn't been for Your Majesty, he would have It's hard to tell the truth to Mr. Lang!" Unexpectedly, Gao Yanhui didn't hide anything and actually said something earth-shattering.
Gao Baoxu's eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light, staring closely at the sincere Gao Yanhui. Knowing that there is a way through Jiangling Mansion is a top secret. Unexpectedly, Da Zhou not only knew about it, but also specified that Gao Baoxu should lead it. This had to shock Gao Baoxu!
This is even more surprising than knowing that they are looking for me!
