Gao Han looked at his brother kneeling on the ground and smiled kindly: "Ah Jun, just tell me if you have anything to do. I will do my best for my brother. You and I don't need to be so polite!"
Gao Yun said: "Brother, does he know that a delegation from Dangxiang State came to the capital today?"
"I know! It is said that they are here for a marriage proposal, and the emperor also intends to send Princess Qiongqian, the daughter of Pingyuan Bo Anyuanshan, to have a marriage proposal. What? Is what you are about to say related to the princess?" Gao Han asked curiously.
"Exactly!" Gao Yun begged, "I want to ask my brother to present his interests to the prince so that they can oppose the marriage!"
Gao Jun's face was as dark as water, and he thought: "Ah Jun! It's not that my brother won't help you, but if I do this, I'm afraid it will hinder the relationship between the two countries? What's more, the prince may not listen to me!"
"The prince will do it!"
Seeing that his younger brother was speaking so categorically, Gao Han said suspiciously, "Ah Jun, did Lu Zuo ask you to come and lobby for my brother?" Seeing that his younger brother was silent, he continued, "Lu Zuo is unfathomable. He only wants to be my brother." Say, follow him and you have to be careful.”
"I know, and I also know what Brother Lu is like. As long as I treat him sincerely, he will never let me down. He is a person who values love and justice, and he is not what they see from the outside!" Gao Yun explained.
"That's good!" Gao Han nodded, and then looked a little embarrassed, "But about this matter... If His Majesty openly rejects Dang Xiangguo's marriage proposal, it may lead to the two countries severing diplomatic relations or even fighting each other, and now the Han Dynasty is about to If we go to war with the Great Fan Kingdom and the Qita Kingdom, if we continue to form this rift, I'm afraid..."
"Brother, to be honest, Brother Lu already told me how to deal with it before I came here!"
Gao Yun stood up and whispered a few words in his brother's ear.
After hearing this, Gao Han frowned and said, "Ah Jun, for your sake, I will lobby for you once as a brother, but this is also the last time I will help Lu Zuo."
"I thank you for Brother Lu!" Gao Yun hugged his brother with a grateful fist.
Gao Han waved his hand, "No need, it's too early to say thank you! It seems I have to rush to the Prince's Mansion now."
In order to make himself more awake, Gao Han even washed his face before going out. After getting on the sedan chair, he went straight to the Prince's Mansion.
After a while, Gao Han's sedan arrived at the Prince's East Palace. After clearing the door of the palace, Gao Han followed the servants to the main room with a brocade box in his hand.
At this time, Prince Liu Yan and Xun Mou were both there, so Gao Han smiled and stepped forward to salute.
Seeing that he was holding a brocade box in his hand, Liu Yan knew the purpose of his visit and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, I'm so excited to come to this humble house so late!" After that, he and Xun Mou looked at each other and smiled.
Gao Jun apologized and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you are joking. This all depends on your great love, Your Highness!" After saying that, he raised the brocade box above his head and presented it respectfully, "This is my humble opinion. I should treat it as a filial piety to Your Highness." of!"
"I'm so ashamed of myself!" Liu Yan laughed, "How dare I accept this!"
"Your Highness is joking. If it hadn't been for His Highness's cultivation, I'm afraid I would still be a little Yuanwailang now!"
A hint of pride appeared on Liu Yan's face at this time, "It's nothing but a little effort. As long as you are willing to make progress and be loyal to the Han Dynasty, you will deserve the official title."
Gao Han knew that what he said in such an understatement was just to show off his authority to himself, but he still smiled and said: "I will serve my whole life and die!"
Liu Yan nodded, "Just put the things aside, I will accept this piece of filial piety first!"
Gao Han held the brocade box in both hands and respectfully placed it on the table next to the prince.
Seeing Gao Han's flattering look, Xun Mou felt a bit of disdain in his heart, "If Mr. Gao has nothing to do, go back and rest early! His Highness the Crown Prince and I still have something to say!"
"Yes!" Gao Han agreed respectfully, then turned around to leave. After taking two steps, he turned back and said with a smile, "Your Highness, General Xun, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Liu Yan sipped the tea with interest and said, "Oh! Master Gao, please tell me!"
"Xiaoguan's brother came back today and said that when he was patrolling the city, he met the Dangxiang State's envoy on the street!"
Gao Han looked like he was hesitating to speak, which made Liu Yan want to know even more. Liu Yan said: "I know that the envoys from Dangxiang are just here for marriage. Is there anything strange about it?"
"Then your Highness should also know who your Majesty is planning to send for the marriage, right?"
Xun Mou seemed to have noticed something, "Is there anything wrong with Princess Qiongqian, the daughter of Uncle Ping Yuan?"
Gao Han smiled slyly, "Xiaguan didn't think it was nothing at the time, but when he thought of An Shiqing, the governor of Lanzhou, he felt something was wrong!"
"An Shiqing?" Liu Yan and Xun Mou said in unison.
"Isn't it right now to choose a handsome man? I have a feeling that I will become a general again when the time comes!"
Liu Yan looked at Xun Mou's silence, but he felt a little disapproving, "How is that possible? What does this have to do with An Shiqing?"
Xun Mou seemed to have reacted, "It does matter!"
Liu Yan was startled, looked at Xun Mou and asked curiously: "Is it related? What is the relationship?"
Xun Mou said sternly: "Now the Holy One has great trust in Uncle Ping Yuan and also relies heavily on An Shiqing. If they contribute their daughters to the Han Dynasty again, then the Holy One will definitely treat their family with favor and courtesy. Besides, this time the Dangxiang Kingdom is in trouble." So the reason for coming to make peace with Tibet is to blackmail us before we go to war with Tibet, otherwise they will unite with Tibet. In this way, if they really succeed in making peace with Tibet and solve their worries, then the Holy One may reconsider it. Choosing An Shiqing as the commander-in-chief, and Dangxiang Guo may send troops to assist Anyuanshan because of this, then the selection of the commander-in-chief will be meaningless."
Gao Han bowed to Xun Mou and said: "General Xun is really keen, and I also mean the same thing. I am worried that it will delay His Highness's plan, so I will remind you. I believe Your Highness already knows how to deal with it!"
Liu Yan's face was as dark as water, and he waved his hand to Gao Han, "Well! I know it. Mr. Gao, please step aside first!" After seeing Gao Han go out and close the door, Liu Yan continued to ask, "General Xun, really Is it as exaggerated as Gao Han said?"
Xun Mou frowned and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected! I have communicated with An Shiqing several times. This person is cautious and cautious, and he does things neatly and securely. He is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp."
"But An Yuanshan and his son are probably not Prince Ning's people, right? What's there to be afraid of?"
"That's hard to say, at least Anyuanshan and his son are not ours now!"
Liu Yan nodded, "What should we do?"
A hint of slyness flashed in Xun Mou's eyes, "Your Highness has to personally take action in this matter!" Xun Mou asked Liu Yan to come closer and whisper in his ear.
After listening to this, Liu Yan was still a little worried, "General Xun, do you think the Emperor will change his mind? If something really changes, I will be held responsible!"
"If you don't try a dangerous move, how can you know whether it's feasible? If An Shiqing succeeds, I'm afraid we'll still get the same bad results!"
