When the news reached the palace, the emperor was in the imperial study discussing the peace talks between the two countries with several ministers.
The state of Zhao and the state of Chen fought many wars, and their vitality was greatly damaged. A few years later, the State Treasury was still in a semi deficit state, and the state of Liang was so powerful that he did not pay attention to the state of Zhao at all.
During the peace talks, Liang's attitude was extremely tough, and there was no room for compromise.
The hair of the emperor and the elders will be white.
But all of a sudden, Prince Yu sent someone to tell him that the state of Liang could make concessions if it was only a child?
"What child?" Asked the emperor.
The confidant said: "it's an orphan. My prince and princess are in love with the child and want to adopt it back. In return, my Lord will try to make concessions in the peace talks. "
"Let... How much?" Asked Zhuang Taifu.
The confidant minister laughed and took out a list from the wide sleeve.
Duke Wei stepped forward, took the list, determined that it was non-toxic and had no hidden weapon, and then presented it to the emperor.
After the emperor saw it, he gave it to Zhuang Taifu and others.
Zhuang Taifu, Yuan Shoufu and other senior officials were all staring straight after reading.
They can't believe it!
The original terms of negotiation were: Liang exchanged lime mortar technology for Zhao's bellows technology and glutinous rice mortar technology, opened an exchange market at the border between the two countries, and exchanged Liang's cheap handicrafts for Zhao's superior silk and tea.
But now a glass technology has been added. Glass is a unique handicraft in the state of Liang. It's extremely beautiful and hard to get a gold. Among the six countries, only the royal family is qualified to enjoy glass. As for the poor countries like Zhao, they can't afford it at all.
The allure of this technology is enormous.
At least we can see Liang's sincerity.
It is said that the state of Yan coveted the glass craft of the state of Liang, but it was rejected by the state of Liang.
The state of Yan is a superior state, 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. When it got around, it was said that it was not necessary to offend the state of Yan.
Does Prince Yu know what he is doing?
Is it because it's the prince's son of the state of Liang?
"Can there be deceit?" An old minister asked.
The confidant laughed sarcastically: "my Lord has a lot to say, so I need to cheat you?"
You deserve it?!
It's like an elephant trying to crush an insect and step on it. Can it use jumping up and down to confuse it, stun it, and relax its vigilance?
People think that's the reason.
But... Just for a kid?
People really did not understand Prince Yu's confusing behavior.
The Emperor didn't understand. He didn't rush to agree. He faintly felt that the matter was not simple. He asked the ministers to go back first and left the confidants of the state of Liang to ask questions.
"How did Prince Yu take a fancy to the orphans of Zhao?" The emperor opened the window and said two words.
The envoys of the state of Liang were not afraid that the emperor would open his mouth when he knew the truth. After all, the emperor of Zhao was not easy to fool. He told Prince Yu what he had said: "Your Majesty, do you remember the visit of Prince Yu and Princess five years ago?"
The emperor nodded: "I naturally remember."
"At that time, Princess Yuqin was pregnant and kept in Zhao for several months. She didn't leave until the birth was finished," the two countries said
"It is said that the child died young, and I was very sad to hear that at that time." The emperor said, frowning, "is this related to the child?"
The Minister of the state of Liang said with a smile: "my lord accidentally found out that the child was not dead. He might have been saved from the coffin that year. In consideration of the fact that you Zhaoguo have raised Wang Ye's son for many years, in return, my Wang Ye will make concessions in the peace talks. "
If so, everything would be reasonable.
The emperor nodded, and soon asked suspiciously, "is it really Prince Yu's son?"
The Minister of the state of Liang said, "is it difficult for my Lord to pay such a high price for a false son?"
The emperor also felt that it was impossible. He asked, "where is the child now?"
Liang Guoshi said with a smile: "adopted by a little medical girl from a medical school."
Hearing the doctor's house, the emperor's heart was filled with a faint murmur: "which doctor's house? Is it the rejuvenation hall? "
The Minister of the state of Liang said with a smile, "no, it's miaozhou hall."
The emperor's face changed.
After two classes in the afternoon, Xiao Jingkong went to school. Gu Jiao went to the Imperial College to pick him up.
Xiaojingkong thought it was uncle Liu who came to pick him up. He sighed and walked slowly. When he got to the door, he found that it was Gu Jiao. In a moment, he felt that he had missed a million!
If I had known him, I would have run faster! Less time with Jiaojiao!
"Jiao Jiao Jiao!"
He came running towards Gu Jiao with short legs.
Gu Jiao slightly bent down and wiped the sweat on Xiao Jingkong's forehead with a handkerchief.
Recently, the temperature difference is big, and it's very cold in the morning and evening, which leads to a little too much clothes when going out. But in the afternoon, the sun is shining, and the little guy is sweating.
Gu Jiao touched his back, and his inner clothes were all wet.
"Did you race again this afternoon?" Gu Jiao asked.
"No, no race." Xiaojingkong shook his head, "master taught us to play Cuju."
"Is it fun?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Fun Small clearance is the first time to play, feeling very novel, "some people play better than me, they have played before."
Xiaojingkong is not a very competitive child. He always comes first. If he can't get it, he won't be depressed for a long time. Especially for the fields he doesn't dabble in, he usually studies with an open mind.
That's why it's obvious that he and Xiao LIULANG are so different from each other, but the knowledge Xiao LIULANG taught him is still absorbed like a sponge.
Gu Jiao directly took xiaojingkong to the hospital.
"Miss Gu, the patient is coming." Xiao Sanzi comes to the yard to urge Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiaogang finds out Xiao Jingkong's clothes.
Xiaojingkong obediently said: "Jiaojiao, you go to work. I can change my clothes by myself."
Gu Jiao said: "it may take a while."
Small clearance patted small chest: "it doesn't matter, I will take care of myself! I'll do my homework after I change my clothes! "
How can there be such a good child?
Gu Jiao smiles and touches his small head: "OK, there are snacks on the table. If you are hungry, eat them first."
"I'll wait for Jiaojiao to eat together," xiaojingkong said
This kid.
Gu Jiao's heart was sprouted by him.
Gu Jiao went to the clinic.
What kind of patient did she really think was coming, but unexpectedly it was Duke Wei around the emperor.
Duke 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 Hualiu patient in the county.
Of course, Gu Jiao himself will not say it.
Duke Wei said with a smile, "Miss Gu, I'm here today. I want to confirm something with you."
Gu Jiao looked at him: "what's the matter?"
Duke Wei said with a dry smile, "are you the only female doctor in your hospital?"
"Well." Gu Jiao nodded.
Duke Wei's secret is not good. It's over. Your Majesty's guess has come true. What are you really afraid of? Who's child Prince Yu wants is not good. Why do you want to go to the little doctor?
"Why do you ask this?" Gu Jiao noticed that Duke Wei didn't look right.
Mr. Wei sighed helplessly: "Miss Gu, you've got something to do."
Duke Wei told Gu Jiao about Prince Yu's request for his son from the emperor. There's nothing to add to the story. It's too big to add.
Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "well." No wonder he said that the whole capital could not cover her. It turned out that he was the prince of Liang.
Duke Wei said earnestly: "Your Majesty is also very embarrassed. It's not that he covets the conditions he offers. It's that people recognize his father and son. It's natural that he can't stop him from taking his own son back. Miss Gu, is that right?"
Gu Jiao's eyes cool: "he said his son is his son?"
Duke Wei said, "isn't that obvious?"
As Prince Yu, it's not too much to point a deer as a horse, let alone recognize a son.
There is no evidence at all for such a thing.
The terms of the peace talks he offered are the most powerful evidence, ranging from the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to the people of Zhao state. I'm afraid that no one will not believe or disagree.
This is the benefit of absolute power.
No matter how powerful a person is, he is also an individual. Behind Prince Yu is a powerful country.
Duke Wei sighed: "Miss Gu, don't blame your majesty. Your majesty can't help himself. He can't stop his father from taking his son back."
"I see." Gu Jiao light nod, stand up, no longer words, opened the door of the consulting room and went out.
Xiaojingkong has changed into a dry little uniform and is sitting on a small wooden table in the yard doing his homework.
He sat upright and serious.
On the table was a box of new desserts. The fragrance filled the whole yard. It was his favorite jujube clay sweet scented osmanthus cake.
But he didn't eat a bite. He wanted to wait for Jiaojiao to eat with him.
