The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 243 Tough (two more)

When the news reached the palace, the emperor was discussing the peace talks between the two countries with several ministers in the imperial study.

Zhao Guo and Chen Guo fought a lot of battles, and their vitality was greatly damaged. After a few years, the treasury was still in a state of semi-deficient. Liang Guo was so powerful that Zhao Guo did not take it seriously at all.

In this peace talks, Liang Guo's attitude was extremely tough, and there was no room for concessions.

The hair of the emperor and the elders is going to be gray.

But suddenly, Prince Yu sent someone to spread the word - Liang Guo can make concessions, only on the condition of a child?

"What child?" asked the emperor.

The envoy of Liang State said: "It's an orphan. My prince and princess have a good relationship with the child and want to adopt the child back. In return, my prince will try to make concessions in the peace talks."

"Let... how much?" Mrs. Zhuang asked.

Minister Liang Guo smiled and took out a list from his wide sleeves.

Eunuch Wei stepped forward, took the order, and made sure it was non-toxic and no hidden weapons before presenting it to the emperor.

After the emperor read it, he gave it to Mrs. Zhuang and others.

Mrs. Zhuang, Yuan Shoufu, and the old officials all stared at it after reading it.

They are unbelievable!

The original negotiation terms were that Liang Guo exchanged lime mortar technology for Zhao Guo's bellows technology and glutinous rice mortar technology, and opened a mutual market on the border between the two countries, and Liang Guo's cheap handicrafts were exchanged for Zhao Guo's superior silk and tea.

But now a glazed technique has been added. Glazed glaze is a unique handicraft of the Liang Kingdom. It is exquisite and hard to find. Among the six kingdoms, only the royal family is eligible to enjoy glazed glaze. rise.

The allure of this technology is enormous.

At least one can see the sincerity of Liang Guo.

It is rumored that Yan Guo also coveted Liang Guo's glazed craftsmanship, but Liang Guo rejected it.

The State of Yan is the upper country, and its status is not under the State of Liang. The State of Liang did not pass on the technology to them, but passed it on to the State of Zhao. After the matter spread, the State of Yan might be offended.

Does Prince Yu know what he is doing?

Relying on the fact that the son of Liang Guoguo did what he wanted?

"Is there any fraud?" an old minister asked.

Liang Guo's envoy smiled sarcastically: "My lord has made a lot of promises, does he need to deceive you?"

Er and so also match? !

It's like an elephant trying to run over a bug,

Just step on it, do you need to jump up and down to confuse it, stun it, and relax its vigilance?

People think so.

But... just for a child?

Everyone really didn't understand Prince Yu's bewildering behavior.

The emperor didn't understand either. He didn't rush to agree. He vaguely felt that the matter was not easy.

"Why did Prince Yu like the orphans of Zhao Kingdom?" The emperor opened the skylight and said brightly.

Liang Guo's envoy was not afraid that the emperor would open his mouth when he knew the truth. After all, this Zhao Guo emperor was not easy to fool, and he said exactly what Prince Yu had told him: "Your Majesty still remembers the visit of Prince Yu and his concubine five years ago. ?"

The emperor nodded: "I naturally remember."

The two countries said: "At that time, Princess Yu was pregnant, and she was raised in Zhao Kingdom for several months, and she didn't leave until she gave birth."

"It is said that the child died, and I was very sad when I heard that." The emperor said, frowning, "Could this matter have something to do with the child?"

Liang Guo's envoy smiled: "My prince accidentally discovered that the child was not dead. He might have been rescued from the coffin back then. Considering that your Zhao Kingdom has raised the prince's son for many years, in return, my prince will be here. Make concessions in peace talks.”

If so, everything makes sense.

The emperor nodded, and soon, he asked suspiciously: "Is it really Prince Yu's son?"

Liang Guo's envoy said, "Could it be that my prince would pay such a high price for a fake son?"

The emperor also felt that it was unlikely, and he asked again: "Where is the child now?"

Liang Guo's ambassador smiled and said, "I was adopted by a young doctor girl from a medical center."

Hearing the medical center, the emperor's heart filled with a faint ominous: "Which medical center? Huichuntang?"

Liang Guo's envoy smiled: "Ah, no, it's Miaoshoutang."

The emperor's face changed.

After two classes in the afternoon, Xiao Jingkong left school, and Gu Jiao went to the Imperial College to pick him up.

Xiao Jingkong thought it was Uncle Liu who came to pick him up, he sighed and walked slowly, only to find out it was Gu Jiao when he got to the door, and instantly felt that he had missed a million!

If I had known him earlier, I would have run faster! It's rare to get along with Jiaojiao for so long!

"Jiaojiaojiaojiao!"

With his short legs, he ran towards Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao bent down slightly and wiped the sweat from Xiao Jingkong's forehead with a handkerchief.

Recently, the temperature difference is large, and it is very cold in the morning and evening, which leads to wearing a little more clothes when going out, but the sun is shining in the afternoon, and the little guy is sweating profusely.

Gu Jiao touched his back and found that his underwear was soaked through.

"Did you race again this afternoon?" Gu Jiao asked.

"No, no race." Xiao Jingkong shook his head, "Master taught us to play Cuju."

"Is it fun?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It's fun!" Xiaojingkong was playing for the first time and felt very novel. "Some people play better than me, they have played it before."

Xiao Jingkong is not a child who is too competitive. It is normal for him to be the first. If he can't get it, he will not be depressed for too long. Especially in the fields that he has not dabbled in, he usually studies with an open mind.

This is also why he is so different from Xiao Liulang, but the knowledge Xiao Liulang taught him will still be absorbed like a sponge.

Gu Jiao took Xiao Jingkong directly to the hospital.

"Miss Gu, the patient is here." The third son came to the yard and urged Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao just found out Xiao Jingkong's clothes.

Xiao Jingkong said obediently, "Jiaojiao, go get busy, I can change my clothes by myself."

Gu Jiao said, "It may take a while."

Xiao Jingkong patted her chest: "It's okay, I'll take care of myself! I'll do my homework after changing clothes!"

How can there be such a good child?

Gu Jiao smiled knowingly and patted his little head: "Okay, there's some snacks on the table, eat first if you're hungry."

Xiao Jingkong said cutely, "I'll wait for Jiaojiao to eat together!"

this kid.

Gu Jiao's heart was melted by him.

Gu Jiao went to the clinic.

She really thought it was some kind of patient, but unexpectedly it was Eunuch Wei next to the emperor.

Eunuch Wei already knew that the emperor had lost his horse, but he didn't know that Gu Jiao had guessed that the emperor was a patient of Hualiu in the county town.

Of course, Gu Jiao wouldn't say it herself.

Eunuch Wei smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Gu, this old slave is here today because there is something I want to confirm with you."

Gu Jiao looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Eunuch Wei laughed dryly: "Your medical center... is you the only female doctor?"

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded.

Eunuch Wei secretly said that it's not good, it's over, His Majesty's guess has come true, what are you really afraid of, who's child Prince Yu wants is not good, why does it have to be on the head of the little genius doctor?

"Why are you asking this?" Gu Jiao noticed that Eunuch Wei's expression was not right.

Eunuch Wei sighed helplessly, "Miss Gu, you... you've got a problem!"

Eunuch Wei told Gu Jiao the ins and outs of Prince Yu's request for a son from the emperor. There is nothing to add to it. The matter is too big, and there is no more to add.

Gu Jiao suddenly realized, "Hmm." No wonder he was so loud, saying that the whole capital couldn't cover her, it turned out to be the prince of Liang.

Duke Wei said earnestly: "Your Majesty is actually very embarrassed, it's not because he covets the conditions he offered, but because father and son recognize each other, it's just and righteous, and he can't stop him from taking his own son back, Miss Gu, are you saying this? reason?"

Gu Jiao's eyes turned cold: "Did he say that his son is his son?"

Eunuch Wei said, "Isn't this obvious?"

With the status of Prince Yu, it is no exaggeration to call a deer a horse, not to mention a son.

There is no evidence for this at all.

The conditions for peace talks he offered are the most powerful evidence, ranging from the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to the people of the Zhao Kingdom, I am afraid that no one will believe or disagree.

This is the benefit of absolute power.

No matter how powerful a person is, he is still an individual, but behind Prince Yu is a whole powerful country.

Eunuch Wei sighed, "Miss Gu, don't blame Your Majesty, His Majesty can't help himself. He can't stop his father from taking his son back."

"I see." Gu Jiao nodded lightly, stood up, and without saying a word, opened the door of the consultation room and walked out.

Xiao Jingkong has changed into a dry uniform and is sitting on the small wooden table in the yard doing his homework.

The small body is sitting upright, and the expression is extremely serious.

There was a box of newly baked dim sum on the table, and the aroma filled the whole yard. It was his favorite jujube mud osmanthus cake.

But he didn't eat a single bite, he wanted to wait for Jiaojiao to eat together.
