Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 2171

In addition to Guo Ye and Qiuranke's family, there are two prime ministers of Fuyu Kingdom.The leader of the army on the left is called Xu Fengnian.The right minister Zhumin, surnamed Li and surnamed Yichang.

With just a few people sitting down, the big and small affairs of Fuyu country can be settled with one word.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The bearded man asked with a hint of drunkenness: "Mr. Qin, I, Zhang Zhongjian, have something that I can't figure out. Can you help me to go over it."

"The lord, please speak."

"I think back when the Fuyu Kingdom was first established, there were constant battles. For safety, the old man had to give Nuan Nuan to Li Jing to raise her. Later, she came back to me after she grew up. Speaking of it, I am sorry as a parent. child."

Yu Nuannuan scolded: "Father, what are you talking about, my daughter never blamed you."

"Hmph, I'd rather you blame me." Zhang Zhongjian waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt, just listen to me."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhongjian continued: "Of course I am very happy after Nuannuan returned to this old man. Not only did she bring family happiness to this old man, but she also helped me a lot. Mounting on the horse helped me repel foreign enemies, and dismounting helped me Solve the money problem, and make the Fuyu country tidy and prosperous."

"This is your blessing."

"Hey, good luck? The old man thought that way at first, but later realized something was wrong."

Speaking of this, the bearded man stared straight into Guo Ye's eyes, and said: "As the saying goes, a man should marry a man and a woman should marry a woman. But Nuan Nuan has a family of girls, all 26 and seven years old, but they just refuse to marry. I don’t know why Qin Guogong taught me?”

Guo Ye looked embarrassed, and said: "Perhaps Princess Nuan Nuan has a higher vision, and ordinary people are not good enough for him."

The bearded man sneered, and said, "Oh? Really? So what kind of person Qin Guogong thinks is worthy of Nuan Nuan?"

"If you have to ask Princess Nuannuan, someone Guo doesn't know."

"Then let me change the question. Is there any young talents Qin Guogong introduces to Nuan Nuan? That's all my Zhang Zhongjian's wish."

Guo Ye said: "There are two young talents who have always been obsessed with Princess Nuan Nuan."

"tell me the story."

"One of them is Liang Shuyu, the second son of Liang Wanwan, the richest man in Chang'an City. This man is handsome and talented. What's more rare is that he has a deep affection for Princess Nuannuan. According to what he means, he will not marry Princess Nuannuan."

The bearded man nodded, and said: "I've seen Liang Shuyu before, he's a good match for Nuan Nuan. But Nuan Nuan disagrees, he says he's a bit sissy."

"Then let's talk about the second one."

"If the old man's guess is correct, the second person, do you want to say Chai Lingwen, the son of Huo Guogong Chai Shao?"

"You know all about it?"

"This old man not only knows that you want to talk about Chai Lingwen, but also knows that this person already has a wife! Qin Guogong, it's really good. It's really worthy of this old man to introduce a married man to this old man as his son-in-law! You're worthy of Nuannuan!"

"me……"

The bearded man was unforgiving, and said: "Anyway, you are going to introduce someone who has a wife, why don't you introduce something better? For example, you, Duke of Qin, Guo Ye, can you also recommend yourself?"

Guo Ye paused and said, "Your words are useless, I hope you will forgive me."

The bearded man ignored him, picked up the jug, and drank it mouth to mouth.Then, he said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you, Guo boy, the old man's daughter is not unacceptable. Just tomorrow, Crown Prince Caobi of Fusang will come to propose marriage."

Chapter 1983 Betrothed

"What?" Guo Ye couldn't believe his ears, and said, "Say it again."

"It's the same ten times. Just yesterday, an envoy from Fusang came and handed over a letter of credence to the old man, saying that for the sake of peace between the two countries, he wanted the Crown Prince Caobi of their country to marry Nuan Nuan."

Xu Fengnian, Left Minister of Fuyu Kingdom, said: "So that Qin Guogong can know that this matter is absolutely true. The main purpose of the state hosting this family banquet is this matter."

Right Prime Minister Li Yichang said: "Princess Nuannuan's marriage is related to the national destiny of our Fuyu Kingdom, so we must be cautious."

"Father, you can't promise him!" Yu Nuannuan said: "Just three days ago, when my daughter was alone, the Fusang Kingdom sent a general named Su Wo Lianzi to chase and kill me. If it wasn't for Duke Qin , I will never see you again."

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "The purpose of Su Wo Lianzi is probably not to chase Nuan Nuan, but to take her away."

The bearded man sneered and said, "It seems that the Fusang people are soldiers first and then salutes. They must want to be warm and then fast."

"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Guo Ye said: "The real purpose of the Fusang people is probably not Princess Nuannuan, but Fuyu Country. The purpose of abducting Princess Nuannuan is to help Yuguo. Proposing marriage to Nuannuan, their purpose is probably It’s still Fuyu country.”

"what do you mean……"

"They are going to destroy the Fuyu country, or let the Fuyu country be merged into Fusang."

The bearded man said: "That's Fusang's overestimation! Over the years, how many times have we fought with Fusang? When did they take advantage?"

"No, the original is the original, and the present is the present. They cannot be confused."

"What do you mean by that?"

Guo Yedao: "In the past, Fuyu Kingdom fought against the Four Kingdoms alone. Although it looked extremely thrilling, it actually seemed dangerous."

"How do you say this?"

"Of these four countries, if any country wants to monopolize Buyeo, it will be constrained by other countries. And it is difficult to reach trust if it is to divide Buyeo equally. Therefore, their purpose is only to weaken your country and to weaken your country. It’s not really about destroying the country.”

"What about this time?"

"This time it's completely different. Just a few months ago, Goguryeo, Baekje and Fusang joined forces to set fire to the warships, and our Datang navy has been wiped out. Now the sea is already dominated by the coalition navy, you Why do they still want to keep Buyeo?"

Rao is a hero like a bearded man, his face changed slightly when he heard the news, and said: "You mean, the navy of the three countries attacked our country together?"

"Uh...that's not necessarily true. Maybe through internal exchanges, Fusang is allowed to monopolize Fusang Kingdom. But this time Fusang has no worries for the future, that's for sure."

Guo Ye's analysis was so penetrating that the bearded man couldn't believe it."Then how should we deal with it?" he asked.

"What else can we do? Soldiers are coming to cover up the water and soil. Please order the nationwide mobilization now, I am afraid that the war will not be far away."

"That warm wedding..."

"Play by ear, I want to see how the Caobi Crown Prince plays his cards."

……

……

The next morning, Crown Prince Caobi's big ship arrived at Zhangjiadao.

As for Cao Bi, the bearded guest was quite considerate in his etiquette.The clean water was splashed on the street, the loess was padded on the road, and I personally took all the civil and military officials out of the city to meet them.

Seeing this grand occasion, Guo Ye was quite appreciative.He said to Yu Nuannuan: "I didn't have such a pomp when I came to your house yesterday."

"How can it be the same, he is the enemy, and you are your own."
