As Gu Shunzhang was talking, he stretched his hand into his bosom, and took out a wax-sealed envelope with a slight scent of ink. He handed it to Lin Wanrong.
Come from Korea, give me a letter, or a girl? International friends? ! Lin Wanrong was a little dazed. Hastily took the letter and opened it, and after only one glance, his complexion changed drastically. Sadness and joy intermingled on his face. The expression was indescribably complicated.
"Lin San, did the old man make a mistake? Is this letter for you?" Gu Shunzhang asked with a smile while stroking his beard.
"There is no mistake, this letter is for me." Lin Wanrong sighed, slowly folded the letter paper, and put it in his arms: "Mr. Gu, I would like to ask, when you met this woman, how did she Is the land okay?!"
Gu Shunzhang shook his head and said: "The Japanese army is overwhelming, and Koryo is in danger. As the saying goes, under the nest, there will be no eggs. How can this young lady be alone?!"
That's true, there is a war going on in Koryo, and the land is in chaos. Who can live well? I hate it, but I still hope that Gao Li can fight for a few more days. He laughed a few times, and lowered his voice a little embarrassedly: "Well, Mr. Gu, according to your observation, is she still easy to move around? Is there—" He hugged his waist He gestured twice, and made a belly puffed up appearance, which was very ridiculous.
"What are you gesticulating?" Gu Shunzhang stroked his beard and smiled, "I don't understand this old man. Miss, you acted quickly and didn't see anything inconvenient."
Lin Wanrong let out a groan, counted the days with his fingers, and couldn't help laughing. It's only been a few days, how could the symptoms be obvious so quickly
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for bringing back the news for the kid. Lin San is very grateful." Lin Wanrong bowed deeply to Gu Shunzhang, with an unavoidable expression of embarrassment. He took Gu Shunzhang's only son the night before. Repaying grievances with virtue, bringing him a piece of news from heaven and earth, I don't know how to repay this kindness.
"It's not enough to say thanks." Gu Shunzhang shook his head indifferently, turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this old man and Lin San talked about their personal affairs in the hall, and missed the court meeting. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Facing his mentor, the old emperor dared not trust his teacher even if he was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. The old emperor hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, you are serious. No one in the world does not know your character? Even if it is the golden palace who speaks privately, it is the most important thing in the world." Personally, I'm just afraid that my disciple will be stupid and miss your teacher's teaching."
The sovereign of a country is also so humble and humble in front of Gu Shunzhang, one disciple at a time, and one teacher at a time, which makes Lin Wanrong amazed to hear it. What kind of person is the old man, and he respects Gu Shunzhang so much? Could it be that this old man is really amazing figure
Gu Shunzhang nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty is truly a master of the ages because of his subtle knowledge. When I talked about the Koryo affair with Lin San, it was not only for my own selfishness, it was also closely related to my Dahua."
The emperor looked happy, and said hastily: "What is your opinion, Master Gu? This disciple is all ears to listen."
Gu Shunzhang nodded slightly. He got up and took a few steps, and said seriously: "This time Dongying aggressively invaded Goryeo, and the wolf's ambition is well known. But my emperor has a long-term vision and is very clever in dealing with it. Forming an army on the spot and providing support nearby not only make Dongying look forward to the end and make a dilemma, but also open up territory for Dahua and build an indomitable achievement.
The old emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed for being able to be so highly regarded by the emperor teacher: "Master Gu praised it absurdly. This matter was brought up by Lin San, and I just responded to current events."
Gu Shunzhang didn't know that this was Lin San's idea, he clasped his fists and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this method of connecting horizontally and horizontally can be described as unparalleled in ancient times, even if an old man thinks he has read thousands of volumes, he can't come up with this idea. Lin San is young It is really admirable to have such a vision and boldness when you are young."
The emperor's teacher praised Lin San as soon as he came up, but he didn't say a word about the capture of the son. Not only did others not understand, even Lin Wanrong was a little confused.
"Lin San, Master Gu values it so much, why don't you quickly thank him, the old man." The emperor shouted majesticly, but the smile in his eyes was visible to everyone.
Seeing Gu Shunzhang looking at him with a smile, Lin Wanrong had no choice but to brace himself and cup his fists: "Mr. Gu is too much for the prize, and I came up with this idea by mistake. How can I talk about the vision and courage on the ground. I'm ashamed!"
Gu Shunzhang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man has ambition and dares to take responsibility. This is a good thing. If you are too humble, then it is hypocrisy. Besides, I don't fully praise you—your method of annexation is good. , but there are still some flaws, and it needs a lot of improvement. It can be called perfect.”
Lin Wanrong blinked, and then realized, old man Gu said for a long time, the last sentence is the most important! It's just that he speaks very carefully, and he praises him very much when he comes up. It makes everyone happy, and some small opinions later will not spoil the good mood of others. What is the art of language? This Mr. Gu can be said to be well versed in three flavors!
The emperor said urgently: "How to improve this matter? Please tell Master Gu quickly."
Gu Shunzhang smiled and nodded: "The ultimate goal of this method of connecting horizontally and horizontally is to put Koryo under my Dahua territory. There is no doubt about this. It's just that I want to ask the emperor, do you want Koryo to surrender sincerely?" , or is it seemingly incompatible?"
"Master Gu was joking." The emperor said, "I want to open up the territory for Dahua, so I hope that Gaoli will sincerely submit."
"Then there is no doubt." Gu Shunzhang took a few steps in the golden palace, and said seriously: "This is a plan that connects the horizontal and the horizontal. It was planned very well. The Dahua garrison reduced the number of soldiers in Korea, the people moved, and set up schools. It can be said that every step hits the key point. But has the emperor ever thought that these measures are all acts of repression in the eyes of the Koreans. Although the Koreans are aliens, they are not so easy to subdue. I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the emperor's teacher, with his sharp eyes, everyone nodded secretly. The emperor said happily: "Master Gu said that using force is never the solution, but I don't know if Master Gu has a good suggestion."
Gu Shunzhang glanced at Lin Wanrong and said with a smile, "Lin San, what do you think?"
"I understand Mr. Gu's meaning." Lin Wanrong nodded slightly: "Suppression is only a temporary act, and kindness and appeasement is the right way. It's just how to appease, I'm not very good at it."
"Is this soothing? Our ancestors have taught us many ways." Gu Shunzhang accepted Lin Wanrong's words, and said with a mysterious smile: "In addition to heavy rewards, there are more effective ways—"
"What's more effective—" Lin Wanrong couldn't help asking, being terrified by the old man's stare.
Gu Shunzhang's face was solemn, and he said every word: "--and--kiss!"
"I object!" Master Lin cried out with a pale face just as the emperor master finished speaking.
Gu Shunzhang looked at him with surprise on his face: "Lin San, this act of getting married is the best way to appease and befriend you. What are you against?"
You old man, pretend to be confused, who in the world does not know that my father-in-law only has two princesses. These two princesses are still named Lin with me. Want to ask my wife to marry? Go dream you!
He snorted a few times and didn't speak. The emperor naturally knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but frowned, wondering: "Master Gu, I'm afraid the method of marriage is not possible. A few days ago, Prince Gaoli personally came to ask the princess to marry him. But I lost in the competition, and the world knows about it, how can I marry the princess again!"
"Yes, yes," Lin Wanrong hurriedly echoed: "The prince of Goryeo has poor character and poor knowledge. I have seen it with my own eyes. How can he be worthy of us Princess Dahua?"
His thoughts are well known to everyone, and everyone heard it funny, but they didn't point it out. Gu Shunzhang laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. Marrying Princess Dahua to Fanbang, and relying on a weak woman in exchange for the peace of the family and the country, then It's a way to show weakness, why should my Dahua be so weak?"
Hearing that he didn't want to marry the princess to Korea, Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. As long as it's not Xian'er or Qingxuan, you can make up whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me.
The old emperor was puzzled and said: "Master Gu, since it is not my Princess Dahua who is going to marry, how can I get married?"
The emperor smiled and clasped his fists: "It is not my Princess Dahua who is marrying Goryeo, but that Princess Goryeo who wants to marry me Dahualang! Your Majesty, the old man's excursion coincides with an accident in Goryeo. The King of Goryeo personally made a promise, wishing Marry his most beloved princess to Junyan, a young man from the Celestial Dynasty! If this marriage is completed, Dahua and Gaoli will be like a family, and if we continue to promote the strategy of unity and horizontality, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Gaoli married the princess, so it was such a good proposal, and Dahua would definitely not suffer. The emperor was overjoyed, stepped down from the dragon chair, looked around, and laughed loudly: "Gaoli wants to send the princess to marry, Zhu Qing What do you think? Will my heavenly court agree?"
The old man got upside down, anyway, the princess can't marry you, Lin Wanrong wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Since it is good news brought back by the emperor teacher, and there is no harm to Dahua, how can everyone object to it. Now, he nodded his head in line with Master Gu's intention.
Seeing that no one objected, the old emperor nodded solemnly: "Since the king of Koryo is so sincere, I can't treat the princess of Koryo badly. Then, according to Master Gu's words, in my Dahua Dynasty, choose the most outstanding young man." , to marry Princess Goryeo, to show our love and care from the heavens, and from then on the two families will become one family, living in harmony from generation to generation—My dear friends, please help me to think about it, where can I find such a young hero?"
Isn't it just a Goryeo princess? I'm a big and strong man, so I can just send one at random. Lin Wanrong couldn't help laughing at the sight of your lords really obeying God's will and thinking hard.
Today I was going to discuss the matter of King Cheng, but Gu Shunzhang interrupted me to choose a strong man for Princess Goryeo. However, all the adults are still so serious, and the atmosphere in the Golden Palace is indescribably weird. Only the provocateur The emperor Gu Shunzhang who caused the incident was smiling and calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Dear dear ministers, do you have a suitable candidate?" After a cup of tea, the emperor swept his eyes and asked the officials in the palace for advice.
After all the people gathered together for a while, a scholar from Wenhua Pavilion came out and said respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, my dynasty is vast, rich in resources, with a long history, and the emperor is wise and wise, and well-governed. Scholars are like crucian carp crossing the river, there are countless—to find a hero who is suitable for Princess Goryeo, I reckoned, let’s go and search for a long time, if you can’t find 10,000, you can find 8,000—”
The emperor laughed out loud, Master Lin also shivered secretly, this kid has a bright future! When did I have such a flattering talent, why didn't I notice it!
"—Only the emperor is kind and loving, and treats foreign countries generously. He must be the most outstanding young man in our Dahua Dynasty. The ministers and others have discussed it. Watching my Dahua Dynasty, in terms of appearance, posture, achievements and reputation, the most outstanding person Young Jun Yan, be counted—" He said here, secretly looked at Lin Wanrong, and stopped.
Everyone in the hall looked at Lin Wanrong. The atmosphere was peaceful, with indescribable weirdness.
"Well, this brother, you, you are not talking about me!" Lin Wanrong pointed at his nose and laughed in surprise.
The Bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion nodded, and said seriously: "Looking at the handsome young men of all dynasties in our dynasty, no one can surpass Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin, you can do what you want! Your Majesty, we believe that this marriage is not for Mr. Lin." No way!"
As if they had made an agreement, everyone bent down and clasped their fists together, and sang in unison: "The ministers think that the matter of getting married is none other than Mr. Lin!"
What a surprise, the marriage that has been passed down through the ages, can actually happen to me. Master Lin opened his mouth so wide that two eggs could be stuffed.
"Lin San, what do you think?" the emperor snorted.
Lin Wanrong was sweating profusely, and his back was completely cold. He hastily raised his right hand: "Your Majesty, I swear, I am serious to the princess. It is more serious than real gold and silver!"
"Princess? Could it be Princess Gaoli?!" The scholar of Wenhua Pavilion hurriedly clasped his fists happily: "Your Majesty, you heard it with your own ears. Master Lin's solemn oath is an affectionate confession to Princess Gaoli. From other people Quality cultivation. A promise can be called a thousand pieces of gold, and this humble official thinks that this matter will surely come true."
Your ears grow to your ass? I am confessing my love to Princess Dahua, not Princess Goryeo! Mr. Lin was annoyed in his heart, needless to say.
The emperor's face was extremely ugly, and he snorted angrily: "Lin San, you've become so fast!"
This is really unfair, Lin Wanrong said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, don't believe in rumors, I made this oath to Qingxuan and Xian'er. As for taking me to make a marriage proposal, let me marry a Korean woman - Your Majesty, you still send me Go to the battlefield!"
The old emperor looked a little better, and looked at Gu Shunzhang: "Mr. Gu, do you have a suitable candidate!"
Gu Shunzhang stared straight at Lin Wanrong, with a mysterious smile on his face. Master Lin's hair stood on end, and he kept praying in his heart, Mr. Gu, don't hurt me. The emperor is famous for protecting his weaknesses. I also have a vinegar jar in my family. What about the heap
The emperor pondered for a while, and asked softly: "Lin San, do you have a wife in your family?!"
"Yes, yes, a lot!" Master Lin nodded hastily.
Gu Shunzhang let out a sigh, and said with a smile: "That's just right, there is no shortage of this one. Lin San, do you mind marrying another one?"
The old man looked at him with a sneer, Lin Wanrong was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly waved his hands: "I mind, I mind, I mind very much! My family has little money and a small place, and I can't afford one more land."
"Don't worry about it." Gu Shunzhang said with a smile: "The dowry of King Goryeo will guarantee that your family will have enough to eat and drink for the rest of your life, so why not marry one more?! Even if you really don't have enough money, as long as you ascend to the top, the whole Dahua will be happy." Supporting you!—Oh, I forgot to tell you. The princess of Korea is beautiful, dignified, and knowledgeable, and she is a perfect match for you! You might as well think about it!"
Don't be funny, my perfect match is Qingxuan, when will it be Princess Gaoli's turn? Lin Wanrong shook her head firmly, with an incomparably solemn expression: "Mr. Gu, I love my wife deeply, and I can't bear it anymore—" He pulled Counting with his fingers, he resolutely said: "There is no room for the ninth woman anymore! Please tell Princess Gaoli that I am already a master, and please stop thinking about me! Thank you!"
I really didn't realize that Mr. Lin is still such a loyal person, and everyone admired him.
Gu Shunzhang looked at him and said earnestly: "Lin San, why don't you think about it again? This integrated and horizontal plan was proposed by you, and the peace of the two places will be achieved in one fell swoop. To be honest, looking at my Dahua Dynasty, I can't find another person who is more suitable for this lady than you."
The emperor's master poured the potion soup, and it was extremely powerful. Helplessly, Master Lin shook his head like a rattle, but he didn't let go.
Old Mr. Gu sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "In this way, you have no chance. Lin San, this is the place you gave up on yourself. You will regret it when the time comes, so don't beg me!"
I regret it? Lin Wanrong smiled and said confidently: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, it's better to ask for others than yourself. I knew this truth twenty years ago."
The old man is very satisfied with his attitude. But the marriage is related to the country and the country. If you really want to sacrifice Lin Sandi's chastity, you might as well give it a try. It's just that Qingxuan and Xian'er have suffered some grievances.
"Master Gu, Lin San is really the only one to choose?" The emperor weighed it in his heart for a while before saying.
"I've already said what I need to say. It's just that he gave up his good marriage. There will be a day when he regrets it!" Gu Shunzhang shook his head: "Your Majesty, let's choose another good match for this Princess Goryeo!"
