Huang Qiong means that Zhao Wuhe will be granted the title of Marquis of Jingjiang from Cangwu Bo Jin. He was appointed as the envoy of the Guangnan West Road System and was in charge of all affairs of the Guangnan West Road Army and the Guards. The marquis he conferred was allowed to be conferred for three generations. As for whether his marquis can be hereditary and replaceable, or whether he can be promoted to the title of Duke. Then it depends on Zhao Wuye's specific performance in Guangnan West Road in the next few years.
Huang Qiong's previous words made Zhao Wushu breathe a sigh of relief. Ever since Huang Qiong told him about chewing bones and eating meat in Shicheng County. In fact, Zhao Wushu, who was still very clear about the situation, had already made certain preparations. He predicted that he would most likely be left to serve at Guangnan West Road. So when Huang Qiong talked to him, he didn't feel any surprise.
But what Huang Qiong said later about marrying himself to the princess of Dali made him stunned. He had never considered this matter. No matter how small Dali is, it is still the same country. No matter how old Princess Yunluo is, she is still the princess of the same country. Logically speaking, except for the perishing countries in troubled times. Otherwise, there has never been a princess of a country worthy of a minister of that country.
Especially if he is still a military commander, it is even more impossible. This kind of marriage, no matter how bad it is, is at least a county prince. There was a princess there with a military attaché. This is really against the rules of past dynasties. Even if I am the master's most trusted minister, this is impossible or shouldn't be done. Besides, although he is still a young general, he is still in his thirties after all.
Although that princess is also the eldest princess, she is only in her twenties anyway, as young as a young girl. She is a princess of a country, even if it is a small barbarian country, she is still a princess. His education is definitely not bad. Even if he can't play chess, calligraphy and painting, his talent is definitely not bad either. He is also a military attache who is only fluent in writing, so he is really not suitable for others.
After Huang Qiong finished speaking his thoughts, Zhao Wushu said with a wry smile: "Master, I am the eldest princess of Dali Kingdom, and she is in the prime of her life. I am just an ordinary military officer of Da Qi who is proficient in writing and writing." The princess of a small country is also a princess. Even if I am granted the title of Marquis, I am still a minister. In addition, I am almost forty, and old cows eat young grass. Isn't this wronging others?"
"I don't dare to have that hope. My master asked me to sit on Guangnan West Road, and I have been prepared for it for a long time. I am still young and can expand the territory for my master, or protect one side. Moreover, my temperament, I I know that it is not suitable for me in the capital. Therefore, if my master asks me to stay on Guangnan West Road, I will definitely be devastated and die exhausted, and I will definitely not have any complaints."
"But when it comes to marrying that eldest princess, Master, let's forget about it. When I stabilize in the past half year, it would be better to find a girl from an ordinary family. At that time, if Master feels that she is suitable, I will give you I am naturally happy to get married. I don’t dare to have any delusions about the princess of Dali. If the master really wants to marry with Dali, it is better to choose from the clan."
In response to Zhao Wushan's reply, Huang Qiong frowned slightly and said, "You are a powerful Marquis of the Great Qi Kingdom and my most beloved general. Marrying her is just a princess from a small country. Isn't it unworthy of you?" No? Although there is a slight age gap, the difference of more than ten years is not too big. There is nothing wrong with your body. You are in your prime. Marrying her is not like an old cow eating young grass. "
"It's settled now, don't have anything to worry about. Concubine Duan and I will help you handle this matter. Just be good and wait until you are the groom. I have given Guo Chen a secret order and ordered him to find it. The fighter planes took down the Yangju City. All the Dali clan members, men, women, old and children in the city were escorted to Shanchan Mansion. No matter how big Princess Yunluo's arrogance is, she still has to bear it."
"As for how you live your life after getting married, that is your own business after closing the door. However, if you can't conquer a woman, what other important tasks can I entrust to you? Don't think about anything, just wait and do it. Let's talk about your groom. I am your king and your master. This is the imperial edict and my request for you. If you don't agree, you are resisting the edict and disobeying it."
Hearing Huang Qiong's resolute words, Zhao Wushu had a wry smile and helplessness on his face. After scratching his head, he could only bite the bullet and agree. After Zhao Wushu agreed, Huang Qiong didn't say anything. The topic changed to the deployment of defense in the past few days. Huang Qiong repeatedly urged Zhao Wushu to mobilize more archers and secretly set up defenses around the place where Gao Zhisheng was imprisoned and the Shanchanhou Mansion.
At the same time, troops and horses were mobilized to continue cleaning up the surrounding areas of Shanchan Mansion. The search for the missing Gao family members continued. In the end, Huang Qiong asked Zhao Wuhu to bring Gao Zhiping, and he wanted to meet him in person. As for the candidate to take over, whether they will be finally decided on will be decided after they meet. But this matter must be kept strictly confidential from Gao Zhilian. As for how Gao Zhilian will deal with it, let’s talk about it after returning to court.
Regarding Huang Qiong's instructions, Zhao Wushu was not ambiguous and immediately went to carry out the instructions. He just looked at Huang Qiong and wanted to say something before leaving. But under Huang Qiong's stern gaze, he finally said nothing. I could only sigh in my heart and turn around to deploy. Looking at Zhao Wushan's back, Huang Qiong naturally knew what he was talking about but didn't say anything.
It's just that this matter is very important. It is related to whether certain things about yourself can unfold smoothly. Huang Qiong didn't care about Zhao Wushan's feelings on this matter. And Huang Qiong didn't feel there was anything wrong with this marriage. Zhao Wuye is his favorite general and a dignified Marquis of Daqi. A princess of Dali Kingdom is more than enough for him. Who in the world dares to claim to be a high achiever?
However, although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Wushu's somewhat fearful attitude on this matter. But after all, this matter is still unknown for the current situation. There are two real major events now. One is the re-dethroning of the Dali King. One is the matter of selecting the new Shanchanhou. Compared with these two things, although Zhao Wushan's marriage is important, it is not a big deal for the time being.
Huang Qiong stood in the study with his hands behind his back, looking at the list on the desk. But he has been thinking in his heart whether to kill Gao Zhilian or to keep him. This person is too ambitious. Not only is he cruel, he is also quite vicious. Not only his cousins, but also his own brothers and nephews must be driven to death. Among them, there is also his brother, the only posthumous son who he never forgets.
If this person is allowed to take over as Shan Chan Hou, not only will the Dali country be unable to stabilize, but the idea of divide and rule by oneself will be ruined. Even Guangnan West Road and Qianzhong Road, which are connected by mountains and rivers and have the same tribes, may not be stable. If this person is brought back to Jingzhao Mansion, he will be a trouble maker wherever he is. How to deal with this person is a rather difficult question.
Just when Huang Qiong was thinking over and over again, he still couldn't figure out how to deal with Gao Zhilian. Zhao Wushu over there had already sent someone to bring Gao Zhiping over. After Gao Zhiping came in, he was quite honest. After seeing Huang Qiong, he respectfully followed the rules of Daqi and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. Gao Zhiping, a grassroots man, paid a visit to the Emperor of Qi.
After ordering him to stand up, Huang Qiong looked at Gao Zhiping carefully. But he discovered that this man was only twenty-seven or eighty years old, about the same age as himself. He is not very similar to Gao Zhilian, but is more similar to his cousin Gao Zhisheng. Seeing this person's appearance, Huang Qiong couldn't help but frown slightly. He said, "Are you Gao Zhilian, that concubine brother Gao Zhiping?"
Huang Qiong's somewhat cold tone made Gao Zhiping slightly stunned. Not knowing where he offended Huang Qiong, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Cao Min is the two-year-old concubine brother of Xiao Gaozhilian. Cao Min's biological mother was originally just a maid serving the mistress. My father and his mistress before his death. Because of our love, we have never had concubines. Only once, after being drunk, did I meet my biological mother, who was the mistress's maid."
"Perhaps it is God's blessing that Cao Min came into existence by chance. Therefore, I am Gao Zhilian's only concubine brother. Cao Min's mother is still alive. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send the mother to confront him and you will be sure. . This matter is not only related to Cao Min’s life experience, but also to Cao Min’s innocence. Therefore, Cao Min does not dare to hide anything, let alone deceive the Holy Lord.”
Huang Qiong always felt something was wrong with this guy's definite answer. Even if they are cousins, there is still a connection between flesh and blood, but they cannot be so similar. Even if they are younger brothers from a concubine, even if they are only half-brothers, there shouldn't be such a big difference. Judging from his age and appearance, he bears very little resemblance to Gao Zhilian. On the contrary, he is similar to Gao Zhisheng's younger brother or even his son.
As far as Huang Qiong knew, Gao Zhisheng's eldest son, Gao Shengtai, whom Zhao Wusha praised endlessly, was neither his legitimate son nor his real eldest son. Gao Zhisheng's four wives before and after him, including Liu Min and Liu Ling, as well as yesterday's second wife, the Tubo wife, did not give him a son or a daughter. Although there were many concubines in the dozens of houses, the first few did not stand still, perhaps due to the reasons of flesh and blood.
It wasn't until he was in his thirties that he had a son, Gao Shengtai. The reason why he attaches great importance to Gao Shengtai is that he is the de facto eldest son. What's more, after Gao Shengtai stopped, the next few sons and daughters stopped one after another. Moreover, after the birth of Gao Shengtai, his status in the court of Dali Kingdom became more and more stable, and the power of the Marquis Mansion also grew.
This made Gao Zhisheng think that this son was not only his blessing, but also the blessing of the entire Shanchan Marquis Mansion, who also served the Buddha very sincerely. Therefore, I love this son extremely much and spend almost all my efforts in teaching him. And this son, who can be regarded as an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, has almost replaced him at such a young age in the tribal army to which Shanchan Marquis Mansion belongs, as well as the Cuanhei Army attached to Shanchan Marquis Mansion.
Gao Zhisheng attached great importance to his son, so much so that when he was not in the mansion, the entire power of the Marquis Mansion would be handed over to Gao Shengtai. Just as Zhao Wushu said, if Gao Shengtai is still alive, no one can stand in the hands of the Marquis Mansion. Although the person in front of him is just Gao Zhisheng's cousin. But for some reason, Huang Qiong thought of Gao Zhisheng's eldest son after seeing this person.
However, this person was very discerning, and his face turned slightly gloomy when he saw Huang Qiong. Although he didn't know why, he said humbly: "Your Majesty, the common people in Shanchan Houfu are just the sons of common people. They have never had the qualifications or the right to interfere with the affairs of the Houfu. The common people don't know, Your Majesty. Why did you summon the common people here? If your Majesty wants to ask Shanchan about matters in the Marquis, I'm afraid he's asking blind questions."
Hearing his somewhat trepidating words, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said: "If I ask about Shanchan Houfu, there will naturally be a lot of people asking. But there is no need to come and ask you. Zhao Wushu I have a good impression of you, so I came to talk to you on a whim. Have you read Zhongyuan's books?"
