Wen Family Has a Wife

Since Chen Yangqiu moved into the palace with Chen Xiaodie, he has always put himself in the position of an accompanying guest, usually he would not step out of the courtyard, let alone make any requests to the servants of the palace, just like an invisible person.

Chen Xiaodie has gotten used to it for so long, but she didn't expect that Chen Yangqiu would not be here today, and she would go out quietly, not to mention Chen Xiaodie, even Tao'er was a little panicked.

She said anxiously: "Miss, I will go ask the concierge first, to see when the master leaves."

Chen Xiaodie was about to nod her head when she suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened suddenly, "Wait a minute!"

Tao'er turned her head and saw Chen Xiaodie's face was as pale as a ghost, "Miss?"

Chen Xiaodie bit her lip and tried her best to stay awake, opened her bloodshot eyes, and said with difficulty: "Go and ask the housekeeper if my father has gone to see the imperial envoy..."

"Miss!" Tao'er was so terrified that she couldn't even care about Chen Xiaodie, and rushed out in a panic.

Outside Lingnan Wang's study, Chen Yangqiu, who was wearing a long linen gown, straightened his back, knelt outside the gate, and said loudly: "The sinner Chen Yangqiu pays his respects to the prince, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy!"

The sound broke the silence in the room, Lingnan King looked at Wen Youcheng playfully, and said, "I'm looking for you!"

Wen Youcheng's posture remained the same, without even frowning, he muttered: "My lord, let's continue to discuss business matters! Your Majesty knows what your lord is thinking, and he never shy away from mentioning this matter."

"Oh? I don't know what's on my mind, so I ask Mr. Wen to enlighten me!"

Wen Youcheng hooked the corners of his mouth mockingly, "Why did the prince ask knowingly? The world is a temptation. If the emperor wants it, is it possible that the prince will not want it? It's just that the emperor was ahead of the prince and took advantage of the right time, place and people, so he succeeded. , the prince doesn’t even have a chance!”

The King of Lingnan was upset when he heard this, and his face darkened.

Wen Youcheng said again: "My lord, you don't need to get angry, I'm just telling the truth, but I'm not here to show off when I travel thousands of miles to Lingnan, but I want to be honest with my lord and hear what my lord thinks!"

The King of Lingnan stood up abruptly, with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer, "Xiao Guang is so loud! Ask me what I think? If I want this world! Will he give it?"

Wen Youcheng's expression remained unchanged, "Your Highness is just joking! If you really want to compete with the Emperor for this world, Lingnan will not be so calm now. The officials came here sincerely. Your Highness said it bluntly, so there is no need to try it."

The King of Lingnan turned around, took a deep look at Wen Youcheng, and suddenly laughed, "This king underestimated that kid! Well, since I want to speak up, I want to speak up! I want Lingnan! Fuzhou, Ting Zhouzhou, Qianzhou, Shaozhou, Hezhou, Xiangzhou, and the south of the Hongshui River are the borders, from now on, these places will be the boundaries of my Lingnan, and they will become their own country, can Xiao Guang agree?"

Wen Youcheng's face darkened, "Is the lord joking? The former emperor took so much effort to unify the Southern Qi and Northern Qi, but the lord wants to separate the regime! Not to mention the emperor's disapproval, even the royal family will not agree."

"Royal family?" The King of Lingnan smiled contemptuously, "What does that bullshit have to do with this king? That is to say, the son of the fifth younger brother is in the upper position. If it were someone else, the king's iron hooves would have already stepped into the capital! Return the wheel Got you talking nonsense to me here?"

Seeing that he knew that he hated the former emperor, Wen Youcheng had to take a step back, and said with difficulty: "It's not impossible for the prince to discuss these lands, but the emperor can't just hand over Daqi's territory to others, otherwise the world will How do people think of him! You must ask the prince to pay something!"

The King of Lingnan rarely said seriously: "What?"

Wen Youcheng came prepared, and took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to the King of Lingnan, "This is the emperor's handwritten letter. If the prince wants those mansions, he must sign this peace agreement. From now on, Lingnan cannot invade." Daqi, you are not allowed to send troops to Daqi. Of course, Lingnan will not take the initiative to invade, and Daqi will not send troops to Lingnan. Also, the emperor needs Lingnan to provide a batch of horses, weapons, money, and Lingnan’s grains. Write in detail on the letter.

"

The King of Lingnan opened the envelope without hesitation, read it carefully, twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked, "What does he want to do? If you want so many horses and weapons from me, I won't give it to you unless you tell me clearly!"

It's a joke, if something is given to the other party, he turns his face and refuses to recognize him, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army.

Wen Youcheng laughed and said, "My lord, I'm here sincerely, and I definitely won't be that kind of villain..."

The King of Lingnan interrupted him directly, "Who knows what you are thinking! Put away the 'sincerity' of Lao Shizi, and talk about something practical, what exactly does Xiao Guang want to do?"

Wen Youcheng put away his joking face, looked to the north, with deep eyes, and softly uttered a few words, "fight..."

The King of Lingnan was stunned for a moment before he understood. He frowned and asked, "Is he crazy? Is it worth the effort?"

Wen Youshan withdrew his gaze, smiled lightly and said, "This is not the prince's business to worry about. The emperor grew up in Mobei since he was a child, so he alone knows whether it's worth it or not."

The King of Lingnan snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not hesitate much, "There are a lot of things, I need some time to prepare, but before this king hands over the things to you, Xiao Guang will issue an edict announcing the independence of Lingnan."

"No problem!" Wen Youcheng answered very bluntly this time, as if the person who was frowning just now was not him.

The two discussed important matters, and the King of Lingnan looked in the direction of the courtyard and said, "How does Xiao Guang plan to deal with the two only seedlings of the Chen family?"

"They?" Wen Youcheng was full of disdain, "It's just insignificant people, the emperor doesn't take it seriously, so why not just let them continue to enjoy themselves in Lingnan? But since Chen Yangqiu took the initiative to see me, it would be a pity if he didn't deal with it It seems that the emperor is too merciful!"

Thinking about it, Wen Youcheng opened the door and saw the figure of Xiao Suo kneeling in the yard, approached silently, stopped in front of Chen Yangqiu, and asked slowly: "If you have a chance to escape, you can also ask the prince for help. Why did you choose to come to see me? Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

Chen Yangqiu chuckled, "Where can I escape if I run away? The sinner turned himself in to ask the emperor to treat his little girl with mercy. She is just a weak woman who married and divorced. Nothing to worry about, the sinner only asks the emperor to spare her life!"

"You love this daughter so much!" Wen Youcheng's voice couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or exclamation.

Chen Yangqiu didn't say anything, but kowtowed to him three times.

Wen Youcheng shook his head regretfully, "You should know that even if you don't ask me, the emperor will not easily take her life based on her relationship with Lingnan Palace."
