The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering
Chapter 261: Discussing the affairs of the world, the whip is penetrating into the inside, and the p
No one thought that Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao would actually come to Helian Kingdom at this critical moment, and they would come in force.
It's very obvious that this is a bad move.
"The three countries have already felt the threat from Helian to them. They will not sit still and wait for death. I am coming to Helian this time to explore Helian's true identity and to put pressure on Helian."
Gu Wangshu felt that what his second uncle said was very polite.
Ever since Helian Kingdom swallowed up Mobei and Xuanyuan Kingdom without any effort, it has become the largest country.
If the Nalan Kingdom is annexed by the Helian Kingdom again, then no country will be the opponent of the Helian Kingdom.
Helian Kingdom's intention to expand is too obvious, and neighboring countries have to guard against it.
The envoys from Dongling, Zhao and Dashuo came at the same time, which shows that they had discussed it in advance.
The purpose is to let the Helian Kingdom understand that the three countries have united together. Once the Helian Kingdom has ambitions to expand eastward, the two countries will coordinate resistance against the Helian Kingdom.
This is the art of alliance, uniting many countries to fight against the Helian Kingdom.
"Today's morning meeting was mainly about talking about this matter. Their intention is too obvious. They intend to prevent the Helian Kingdom from continuing to expand. If the Helian Kingdom continues to expand its territory, it will be tantamount to a declaration of war against them."
"Has your Majesty made up his mind?"
Gu Chengfeng shook his head: "We don't even know how the other party is going to attack, so how can we come up with a countermeasure?"
"However, the envoys who came to Helian this time are not ordinary people."
Gu Wangshu's curiosity was ignited.
"Who is there?"
"The person from Dongling is Zhou Qingxu, the person from Dashuo is Fu Jiuyuan, and the person from Zhao Guo is Zhao Xinglan."
Hearing the names of these three people, Gu Wangshu knew that this time Dongling, Zhao Guo and Dashu were serious.
These three people are all famous counselors in the three countries, and they are as famous as Shen Shiyan of Nalan Kingdom, Xu Qingru and Duanmu Qingji of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Before Chen Zui appeared, these six people were the most famous.
But when Helianguo got Chen Sui, their reputation was severely suppressed.
Indispensable for every country is advisers who can make plans.
It can be seen from this that how difficult it was for Chen Zui, who was alone in various countries, to persuade not only the emperors but also the advisers.
But he succeeded. From this alone, it can be seen that Chen Zui's wisdom is far beyond them and is superior to them.
Gu Wangshu said calmly: "Have His Highness and Lord Chen gone to court today?"
Gu Chengfeng nodded: "Go ahead."
"Then what did they say?"
"The two of them have always agreed that when soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up."
Gu Wangshu said with a smile: "Since His Highness and Chen Hou are so confident, the second uncle doesn't need to worry too much. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to support it. The wisest person is me, Helian. What else can the second uncle do?" worried?"
When Gu Wangshu said this, Gu Chengfeng felt it made sense.
After having lunch at the old lady's place, they went back to their rooms.
Gu Wangshu kept thinking about his second uncle's words in his mind.
Although she comforted her second uncle not to worry too much, she herself began to worry about how Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Guo would test Helianguo.
Once these three countries unite to attack Helian, it will be very difficult for the Helian country.
The power of Nalan Kingdom has been exhausted, and it is the best time to annex it.
At this time, if the other three countries continue to fight uneasily, Helian Kingdom will definitely be attacked from both sides.
What should I do?
If you want to break the art of combining verticality, the best way is to connect horizontally.
Cooperation refers to uniting multiple countries to jointly deal with powerful countries and prevent powerful countries from annexing weak countries.
Liancheng refers to a strong country drawing some weak countries together to jointly attack other countries.
He Zong Lian Heng, or Zong Heng for short, was a diplomatic and military policy advocated and implemented by political advisors during the Warring States Period.
This military policy was jointly implemented by Gongsun Yan and Su Qin. Gongsun Yan initiated it first, and Su Qin lobbied the six countries to promote the six countries to finally complete the joint resistance against Qin.
As advisers to the three countries, Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan must know Hezonglian very well.
I believe they also thought that the Helian Congress would use the art of Lian Heng to destroy their alliance.
Once they see what Helian Country is about to do, it will be even more difficult for Helian Country to succeed.
She needed to figure out a way to break them apart from within.
After Gu Wangshu filtered the relationship, all that was left was to figure out how to disintegrate them from within.
But this step is crucial and the most difficult.
Gu Wangshu couldn't think of it for a while.
She had a headache thinking about it, so she had no choice but to lie down on the bed and try to relieve the pain.
I originally planned to rest and think of countermeasures, but I didn't expect that she would actually fall asleep.
When I woke up, it was already an hour later.
Gu Wangshu lay on the bed and stared blankly at the top of the bed. She had taken a long nap and her head was confused.
After being dazed for a while, she sat up.
As soon as he got up, he heard Qiuchi's voice.
"Miss, you are finally awake." Her voice was filled with surprise.
"What makes you so happy?"
Qiu Chi came over to tidy up Gu Wangshu's slightly messy clothes.
"Miss, His Highness the Second Prince and the Marquis have come to our house."
This was something Gu Wangshu didn't expect. It was probably because of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, right?
"Miss, Your Highness and the Marquis are in the Second Master's study. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Gu Wangshu wanted to go over there, but as soon as they arrived, she couldn't wait to chase after them, which seemed like she was too unreserved.
Gu Wangshu coughed and said, "They can come as they come. It's enough for my second uncle to entertain them. As a woman, it's not convenient for me to see foreign men."
Qiu Chi opened his lips slightly in surprise.
Is it inconvenient to meet your foreigner?
The lady really tells lies without blushing.
Has she not met with His Highness the Second Highness and Lord Chen often enough?
When they were in Taiping City and Taicang Pass, she and His Highness were inseparable, and she could tell that the young lady and His Highness liked each other, so why was it that they were the foreign men?
Also, the young lady followed Mr. Chen Hou to the Hou Mansion a few days ago. Strictly speaking, the Hou Mr. is the young lady’s cousin-in-law, so he doesn’t count as a foreign man, right?
Qiu Chi looked at Gu Wangshu and saw that she was pretending to be reserved.
She chuckled and said: "Since it is not convenient for the young lady to see the foreigner, I will guard the courtyard gate. If the foreigner comes here, I will send him away."
Gu Wangshu tapped Qiu Chi's forehead: "I'm usually too tolerant to you, but now I've started to make fun of your young lady, right?"
Qiu Chi shrank his shoulders.
"If you want to see me, even if I don't go to my second uncle's place, he will come."
"You, you'd better dress up your young lady first. I just woke up, my face hasn't been washed, and my hair hasn't been combed. How can I go out to meet people?"
Qiuchi chuckled: "It turns out that this is what the young lady had in mind. I have learned from this."
She specially chose a pink dress for Gu Wangshu.
After putting on the clothes neatly, Gu Wangshu took a picture in front of the full-length mirror and hesitated: "Will this color make me look too pretentious?"
"How is that possible? The lady is young and beautiful, and she is out of the ordinary, so she naturally wears brighter clothes."
Gu Wangshu felt that what she said was reasonable. Although her appearance could not be called a beauty, it could still be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu. In addition, her skin was fair, and the pink color accentuated her entire body. It was raised a few points.
Gu Wangshu sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Qiu Chi carefully put on light makeup for her, which suddenly improved Gu Wangshu's appearance, which was only six or seven points, to more than eight points.
Looking at his classical and dignified self in the bronze mirror, Gu Wangshu almost couldn't recognize him.
"What do you think, Miss?"
"Very good." Gu Wangshu praised unabashedly.
Qiu Chi's face overflowed with joy, looking forward to the stunning look on His Highness's face when he saw his young lady.
While Gu Wangshu was dressing up, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui had already left Gu Chengfeng's study and were strolling around the general's mansion.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. It is the best time to go out for a walk and soak up the sun.
After Gu Wangshu finished dressing up, he took Qiuchi out of Qinxinyuan.
The two sides met by chance in the garden.
When he was still far away, He Lianhuan noticed the delicate pink color.
The pink color stands out especially in the bleak scene of late autumn.
She is like a bud waiting to bloom, dotted in the withered yellow.
Gu Wangshu seemed to realize something. He turned around and met He Lianhuan's eyes.
Knowing that He Lianhuan had come to the General's Mansion, Gu Wangshu pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness? Why are you here?"
Qiu Chi took in the unfailing look of surprise on Gu Wangshu's face, and admired in his heart that the young lady's acting skills were so perfect that there was no trace of acting at all.
Look at His Highness the Second Prince standing opposite them ten feet away.
His brows were gentle, and his eyes were only looking at Gu Wangshu, as if the other person didn't exist at all.
Qiu Chi sighed in her heart, her young lady and His Highness the Second Prince were truly a match made in heaven, and she was secretly happy.
He Lianhuan secretly looked at Gu Wangshu.
After discovering that she had dressed up, she realized that the "accidental encounter" between them was not a true encounter, but something Gu Wangshu had done intentionally.
His eyebrows were raised in confusion, and there was a slight smile on his lips.
"Marquis Chen and I came to the General's Mansion to discuss state affairs with your second uncle, and we came to see you by the way."
In fact, the last sentence is the key point.
We can discuss state affairs at any time. There is plenty of time after the court, but He Lianhuan came to the general's mansion specially, so that his intention should not be too obvious.
The feeling of being remembered made Gu Wangshu feel sweet in his heart.
The two kept looking at each other, automatically blocking the surrounding light bulbs.
Chen Zui, a spoiler of the atmosphere, was in no mood to continue to eat the dog food of two people.
"You two plan to stand in the garden until the end of the world, are you?"
"We are obviously in the garden, but why do I smell the rotten smell of love?"
"I urgently need a cup of hot tea to quench my thirst. The General's Mansion won't even give guests a cup of tea, right?"
He kept chattering, completely ruining the beautiful atmosphere between Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan.
Gu Wangshu's mouth twitched. This Chen Zui was 100% intentional.
Ever since he lost his cousin, he had become twisted in his heart and couldn't bear to see others in pairs.
He Lianhuan turned his head and gritted his teeth: "It is Chen Hou who insists on following me to the General's Mansion."
Chen Zui chuckled: "How come I am following His Highness? I have been coming to the General's Mansion to visit the Minister of War. The two of us are just passing by."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Gu Wangshu hurriedly came over to smooth things over, fearing that the two ancestors would start a fight in the general's mansion.
"Your Highness and the Marquis are tired, how about we go to Nuange to discuss matters?"
Gu Wangshu kept smiling, but he was complaining in his heart.
Neither of the two ancestors were economical about waiting. She was partial to He Lianhuan in her heart, but she didn't dare to be too blatant, otherwise Chen Zui would move her cousin out again.
After all, Chen Zui was her cousin-in-law in name only, and he was considered a family member. For the sake of her cousin, she could tolerate it as long as she could.
What should I do if I can’t bear it?I can't beat him again and again, I can't say he can't talk about it, and I might even make myself very angry.
Gu Wangshu led the two people to Nuange.
The warm pavilion is actually used to entertain guests, but this place is warmer than other rooms in late autumn and winter.
Everyone filed in, and in private there was no need to abide by the rules and sit down casually.
"Qiuchi, serve tea." Gu Wangshu ordered.
Qiu Chi glanced at Chen Zui cautiously.
The last time she was kicked by Chen Zui, that kick kept her from getting out of bed for three days, and the bruises on her stomach have not completely faded yet.
Therefore, she was quite afraid of Chen Zui.
However, Qiu Chi found that Chen Zui didn't even give her an extra glance and completely ignored her, and she felt relieved.
If Lord Chen is a vengeful person, she may be in danger of losing her life.
In fact, Chen Zui was quite vindictive, but he didn't care too much because Qiu Chi was Gu Wangshu's maid.
If it were anyone who was not related to Yun Musheng, Chen would be the first to kill him with his knife.
Qiuchi brewed the tea, poured a cup of tea for Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui, and then retreated behind Gu Wangshu.
Full of tea fragrance.
The three of them drank tea and chatted.
Gu Wangshu spoke first: "How many days will it take for the envoys from the Three Kingdoms to arrive in Yong'an?"
He Lianhuan replied: "In about three days, I believe you have guessed what their purpose is."
"Then have His Highness and the Marquis thought of any countermeasures?"
Gu Wangshu looked at their faces. The second uncle's expressions were solemn when he mentioned this matter, but He Lianhuan and Chen Zui were calm and calm, as if they didn't take those three people to heart at all.
"Since we know that the purpose of their coming here is to test Helian and make Helian dare not act rashly against Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao, then we must make sure that the other party cannot figure out our strength in terms of countermeasures. To the effect of making the enemy fearful."
"It is very obvious that the three countries have formed an alliance. Once Helian shows his flaws, they will most likely attack together and take the opportunity to carve up Helian. This is the most important thing and must be guarded against."
"Combining vertical and horizontal alliances is something that all counselors know. Precisely because they are clearly aware of this, they will be more on guard against me, Helian, taking the strategy of connecting vertical and horizontal to destroy the alliance between them."
Gu Wangshu looked at He Lianhuan's eyes shining brightly.
She and He Lianhuan had surprisingly consistent ideas, and they were almost in sync with each other.
"It's just that if we adopt the alliance method, the three countries will definitely see it, and they will become more and more hostile to Helian, making the relationship between Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao even closer, because they know that as long as their alliance If it is not broken, Helian will be unable to do anything to them, and they will have the strength to compete with Helian."
"So we have to destroy the alliance between them without letting them discover it. This is the most difficult thing."
He Lianhuan nodded repeatedly, and then began to think deeply.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
While the two of them were analyzing the current situation, Chen Zui remained silent, his eyes as deep as the sea, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
The cup of tea was quickly finished, and Qiu Chi stepped forward to refill Chen Zui's tea with great discernment.
Through the hazy white mist, Chen Zui's face looked increasingly mysterious.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan looked at him at the same time.
He Lianhuan asked: "Chen Hou is so smart that he must have thought of a countermeasure?"
Chen Zui raised his eyes and looked at He Lianhuan through the white mist.
"The talent of His Highness the Second Prince is unparalleled in the world. Didn't you think of it? No way?"
He Lianhuan had a sneer on his lips: "I do have a plan, but I want to hear Marquis Chen's opinion first."
Chen Zui showed no signs of weakness: "I also have a plan, but I also want to hear some of my favorite opinions first."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
These two people are here again, no one will give in to the other, and there is no end in sight.
"Well... Why don't Your Highness and the Marquis say it together?"
"Humph!"
"Ah!"
The two of them almost spoke in unison, showing a perfect understanding.
Originally the relationship between the two was pretty good, but since Qiu Chi stole Yun Mu Sheng's ashes and Chen Zui misunderstood Gu Wangshu and almost hurt Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui have become like two stubborn donkeys. They dislike each other.
Gu Wangshu was almost worried to death.
How old are these two people and yet they are still so childish.
"Let's do this. Just write down your ideas on paper. That's okay, right?"
"Trouble, no need." Chen Zui waved his hand, then dragged his chin with one hand, lazily, not caring about his image as a marquis in front of He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu.
Gu Wangshu took a deep breath. She used to admire Chen Zui, but she didn't expect him to be so difficult to maintain.
When she was helpless, Chen Zui suddenly said:
"Since they want to test our attitude, we can also test their attitude."
"How to test?" Gu Wangshu asked.
Chen Zui did not answer, but raised his eyebrows at He Lianhuan, with a provocative look, as if to say: Didn't you say you have already thought of a solution?I'll give you the opportunity now. It's your turn to speak.
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Chen Zui's look of needing a beating was too irritating.
She hurried to see He Lianhuan and found that he did not look angry at all and was still calm and composed.
He habitually turned the tea cup in his hand and said calmly:
"Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan are all famous for their profound knowledge, extensive knowledge, and understanding of ancient and modern times. With the power of these three people, it is not easy to test them."
Chen Zui curled his lips: "His Highness and I are the only ones who can match the ingenuity of the three of them. Should we personally come forward?"
"Oh, do you think they are worthy?" He Lianhuan said contemptuously.
"There is no way to kill a chicken with a bull's-eye. They are not worthy. In order to show the importance to the three of them, I thought that Helian should send someone to escort them to the capital on their only way to Yong'an two days in advance. The escort envoy The top priority is the selection of the escort. Only if the escort is chosen right can it not expose the flaws of Helian's cards, but also act as a deterrent to the Three Kingdoms. Apart from you and me, I wonder who your Highness thinks is the best choice. Is it suitable?"
Chen Zui's words suddenly gave Gu Wangshu a feeling of enlightenment.
Those three people had no purpose in coming to Helian Country, and they would definitely be eager to find out the details of Helian Country.
Therefore, the candidate they sent out was crucial.
After Chen Zui finished speaking, He Lianhuan continued:
"The best strategy of a military strategist is to conquer the enemy without fighting. The same method can be used to deal with three advisers. Use wise men to fight wise men. No one will admit defeat. Both sides will not give in to each other, and they will inevitably speak sharply and eloquently. Too much talk leads to mistakes, so it is not appropriate to choose a smart person to be your escort, what do you think, Marquis Chen?"
He Lianhuan once again put the question in front of Chen Zui.
Chen Zui raised his eyebrows.
I have to admit that He Lianhuan is really smart, his mind works very quickly, and his thoughts are exactly the same as his.
He was tit-for-tat with him, but he also admitted that his abilities were extraordinary.
Chen Zui then said: "Use a fool to deal with a wise man. No matter what tricks the wise man uses, the fool will not take the initiative because of his lack of ability. This is called using fools to trap wisdom in the art of war. Choose a person who is not very smart. I believe that is the best strategy to deal with those three people."
Gu Wangshu was shocked.
She suddenly remembered a story she had told before.
This story is that when Confucius was traveling across the country, his horse ate the farmers' crops. The farmers were very angry and seized Confucius' horse.
Zigong, a student of Confucius, went to the farmer to plead for mercy. He said all kinds of good things, but he didn't get the horse back.
The most talked about thing about Zigong is his deeds of saving Lu, disrupting Qi, defeating Wu, strengthening Jin, and dominating Yue. He had the talent to manage and govern various countries.
Such an eloquent man could not convince a farmer. In the end, Confucius' groom went to the farmer and asked for the horse back.
After this incident, can we say that the groom is more talented than Zigong?Obviously it can't be done.
How could Zigong's long-sleeved and skillful dancing be compared to that of a horseman?
But why couldn't Zigong take the horse back, but the groom could?
To put it simply, the horseman and the farmer are both rough people and have a common language.
As the saying goes, people are divided into groups. If you use the principles of poetry and books to convince people in the countryside, the two of you are destined to not be on the same page.
Confucius assigned the groom to ask for horses from the farmers. This was called using foolishness to manage the situation.
But Chen Zui used a not-so-smart person to deal with three counselors who were famous in all countries. This is called using foolishness to enslave wisdom.
There are similarities and differences between the two.
If these three people are compared to Zigong, the less intelligent candidate is compared to a farmer.
This makes it easier to understand.
No matter how quick-thinking and good at answering questions Zigong was, facing a foolish person was no less than playing the harp to an ox.
Therefore, Chen Zuicai said that he would choose a fool to be the escort.
Gu Wangshu connected the cause and effect, and a storm rose in his heart.
Everyone says she is smart, but in fact only she knows that she is just smart.
Her wisdom is based on history, and she is a prophet of modern people.
The cleverness of He Lianhuan and Chen Zui is the real great wisdom.
Gu Wangshu went to see He Lianhuan and found that He Lianhuan was smiling.
Although he has always been in tit-for-tat with Chen Zui, he also recognizes Chen Zui's wisdom.
What he said was exactly what he was thinking.
"This palace thinks so too. Have you thought carefully about choosing Chen Hou?"
Chen Zui picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Yong'an is so big, just find an illiterate person to deal with them."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Mr. Chen Houye has such a big heart.
But what he said did make sense. Find a safe man. He knew nothing about the situation in Helian. When he met the three advisers, he would be cautious, for fear that he would say the wrong thing. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, only a few say.
Facing a taciturn person, the more incomprehensible the other person is, the more the three of them will think deeply about how they would have thought that they would just send an ordinary person to greet them.
The matter was thus decided.
Gu Wangshu was repeatedly shocked by Chen Zui's talent, and was finally convinced.
No wonder my cousin fell in love with Chen Zui, even though Chen Zui was as cruel and ruthless as the second prince.
Speaking of which, she and Yun Musheng looked at people in the same way.
They both like the same type.
Now that the countermeasures are in place, there is no need to worry too much about Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao. Gu Wangshu once again aims at Nalan.
"We cannot give the Nalan Kingdom any time to breathe. We can quickly annex the Nalan Kingdom while people are sick and dying. It is not difficult to annex the Nalan Kingdom with the current strength of the Helian Kingdom."
Chen Zui took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly: "When the envoys from the Three Kingdoms are sent away, I will report to Your Majesty and personally lead the troops to pacify the Nalan Kingdom."
He said it so calmly, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
But precisely because it came from his mouth, no one would have the slightest doubt.
The discussion of state affairs came to an end, and the three of them sat quietly together drinking tea. The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
Gu Wangshu saw that Chen Zui had been drinking tea, so he joked:
"The Marquis likes tea so much that he is almost pickled by the tea."
Chen Zui made the gesture of drinking tea.
"Mu Sheng said he likes the smell of tea on me."
The smile on Gu Wangshu's face suddenly stiffened, and when he mentioned Yun Musheng, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Master Hou, drinking too much water can cause poisoning. It's better to drink it in moderation."
Chen Zui didn't respond and continued drinking tea.
Gu Wangshu frowned, don't wait until Nalan was calmed down, Chen drowned himself with tea first.
"Drinking tea is a good thing, but you shouldn't drink too much. If the Marquis listens to my suggestion, I will give the Marquis a gift."
"Not interested." Chen Zi refused without thinking.
He Lianhuan couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly: "I don't know what is good or bad."
Chen Zi glanced at him sideways: "It seems that His Highness really hopes that his woman will give you a gift?"
"The women in this palace have good intentions. Whether you like her or not, I want her." She said, facing Gu Wangshu: "Xiyue, I want it."
Gu Wangshu looked into his jealous eyes and said with a smile: "If Your Highness wants it, I will prepare one for Your Highness."
"But, Lord Marquis, are you sure you don't want it?"
"determine."
"Oh! Forget it if you don't want it. This portrait of my cousin is more lifelike than the ones in your study. It's a pity that you don't want it."
"want!"
When he heard that it was about Yun Musheng, Chen immediately put away his most lazy look.
Gu Wangshu pretended not to hear: "What did you say?"
"I said, I want it."
"Can't you hear me, please speak louder." Gu Wangshu deliberately teased him, who made him look bad every day.
Chen Zui frowned, understanding that Gu Wangshu did it on purpose.
He looked at Gu Wangshu for two seconds, then suddenly stood up and walked to Gu Wangshu's side.
Gu Wangshu was confused and didn't understand what he was going to do, so he waited quietly.
Chen Zui suddenly leaned over and got close to Gu Wangshu's ear. He was about to yell "yes" into her ear, but before he could take the next step, He Lianhuan suddenly grabbed his arm and forcefully pull.
Chen Zui was unsteady on his feet and was about to be thrown away by He Lianhuan.
But in an instant, he flipped his wrist and grabbed He Lianhuan's wrist.
Under Chen Zui's pull, He Lianhuan's body swayed.
The two people fell out at the same time and rolled into a ball on the ground.
"He Lianhuan, are you sick?"
"You are the only one who is sick. Who allowed you to get close to Xiyue's ear?"
"Ha, your woman is deaf, do you blame me?"
"You said no, so if you don't blame me, who should I blame?"
The two started a new round of scolding.
Chen Zui was pinned down by He Lianhuan and tightly controlled.
Chen Zui put one leg firmly on the ground, and the other leg hooked He Lianhuan's legs. With a forceful flip, the two people's positions were reversed, and he pressed He Lianhuan under him.
"Don't think that since you are the second prince, I can't do anything to you. If you piss me off, I will be beaten easily."
He Lianhuan curled his lips and sneered, looking at Chen Zui like he was looking at another fool.
His knee suddenly pushed up, hitting the sensitive part of Chen Zui's crotch.
Chen felt the most pain and groaned.
He Lianhuan took this opportunity to turn over and pin him down again.
"This palace doesn't care about your attitude towards this palace at all. If you dare to bully Xiyue again, I will make you cut off your descendants."
Chen Zui laughed loudly: "Without Mu Sheng, I have already lost my descendants. Why do you still need to do this? Get off me."
He Lianhuan curled his lips: "If you have the ability, you can throw me off."
The two of them walked back and forth on the ground, neither letting the other go.
One moment He Lianhuan was suppressed, and the next moment Chen Zui was suppressed.
The two of them were arguing on the floor until their faces turned red and their necks were thick. Gu Wangshu and Qiu Chi on the side were stunned.
They never expected that two people would develop to such a point.
Qiu Chi looked worried, fearing that the two masters would get into trouble and it would not end well.
One is a prince and the other is a marquis, both of whom they cannot afford to offend.
Completely opposite to Qiu Chi's worries was Gu Wangshu's reaction.
She was a little surprised at first, but as the two people on the ground continued to roll, her brain began to rush to strange places uncontrollably.
Two men, two men with superb looks, temperament and figure, hugging each other and rolling around on the ground, looking very erotic.
Gu Wangshu's eyes went from surprised to speechless to strange and finally excited.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a mobile phone in her hand. It would be perfect if she recorded this scene and posted it on a certain channel to get more than [-] clicks.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu's soul was burning.
If the person rolling around with He Lianhuan at this moment had been a woman, Gu Wangshu's face would have turned dark.
But if the woman was replaced by a handsome man like Chen Zui, Gu Wangshu said that she couldn't get enough of him.
Gu Wangshu looked at the two people motionless, his little heart pounding and excited.
Seeing that his young lady didn't react at all, Qiu Chi thought she was frightened by the sudden change and hurriedly pulled her sleeves.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. I will go and invite the second master over right now."
Qiu Chi was about to leave, but was held back by Gu Wangshu.
"fine."
Seeing that his young lady was calm and composed, Qiu Chi felt relieved.
Gu Wangshu picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea slowly. He looked so relaxed, as if he was watching a drama.
Chen Zui and He Lianhuan were rolling around, their clothes and hair were messy, and they were panting. Gu Wangshu thought to himself: This is more like that, what should I do?looks great.
Chen Zui and He Lianhuan didn't know that Gu Wangshu was secretly kowtowing. If they knew, they would be furious.
Gu Wangshu knocked for a while and quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.
He coughed and asked, "Are you two tired? If you are, get up and rest for a while. Mopping the floor is quite hard. If you feel it's not enough, the General's Mansion is very big. You two can continue after you have rested."
"Pfft." Qiu Chi couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. The lady's words were really damaging.
Looking at He Lianhuan and Chen Zui again, they were stunned after hearing Gu Wangshu's words. They looked at each other a few times and pushed each other away in disgust.
Who would have thought that these two people, who were always calm and noble, would be rolling on the floor of the General's Mansion.
This was the first time in He Lianhuan's history that such a shameful thing had happened.
Chen Zui knows how to make people angry, especially when it comes to Gu Wangshu, Chen Zui can always challenge his bottom line.
Chen Zui also commented on He Lianhuan in the same way. When had he, who had always been so cold and desolate, been so out of character?
The two stood up and began to sort out their messy clothes.
After everything was sorted out, He Lianhuan came to Gu Wangshu's side. His face turned red for the first time, out of embarrassment.
Looking at Chen Zui again, because he didn't embarrass himself in front of his loved ones, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
He stretched out his hand towards Gu Wangshu: "Didn't you say you have Mu Sheng's portrait? I want it. Give it to me."
Seeing that he was obsessed with this, Gu Wangshu nodded and winked at Qiuchi.
Qiu Chi immediately left the Nuan Pavilion and walked towards Gu Wangshu's study.
After a while, she came back with a painting in her hand.
Gu Wangshu unfolded the painting, and when he saw the person on it, Chen almost choked.
The person above was indeed as lifelike as Gu Wangshu said, exactly like Yun Musheng.
"This... how was this painted?" This was the first time he had seen the painting technique of this painting. It didn't look like it was painted with ink, but more like charcoal.
"This is a sketch I made with charcoal." Gu Wangshu answered his question.
Chinese painting is about artistic conception, while sketching is more realistic.
Therefore, the Yun Musheng painted by Gu Wangshu is more like himself.
The first time he saw such a painting, Chen Zui's hands trembled a little.
"This is for me?"
"Since I promised the Marquis, I will naturally give it to the Marquis, but I have a condition."
"What conditions, you say."
"I can't give it to you now. I can't give it to you until you return triumphantly from Nalan Kingdom."
Gu Wangshu put forward this condition in order to let Chen Bing live a good life. As long as he had thoughts in his heart, he would definitely try every means to return home alive.
I believe my cousin doesn’t want him to die at a young age.
Chen Zui was so smart that he immediately understood what Gu Wangshu meant.
He smiled at Gu Wangshu: "Okay!"
"You have to keep it safe for me. When I come back, I will definitely ask for it from you."
"Okay." Gu Wangshu agreed happily.
Chen Zui waved his hand to Gu Wangshu and left the general's mansion without looking back.
After he left, He Lianhuan said to Qiuchi: "You go out first. I have something to say to your young lady."
Qiu Chi hurriedly went out without forgetting to close the door.
He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu were the only two people left in the room.
He approached Gu Wangshu step by step, bent down, and held the armrests of the chair with both hands, trapping Gu Wangshu in the chair.
Such a posture made Gu Wangshu a little overwhelmed.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" she said with difficulty.
He Lianhuan came closer to her, nose to nose with hers.
"I want."
"Ah?" Gu Wangshu's brain was running out.
want to?
These two words made her couldn't help but think about that, and her face slowly turned red.
He Lianhuan: "..."
He didn't make it clear and she misunderstood?
It's really interesting how Gu Wangshu is thinking wildly.
If he knew that Gu Wangshu had just knocked on his and Chen Zui's CP, he wouldn't find it interesting.
"What are you thinking about? I don't mean what you are thinking about. I want you to draw a sketch for me."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Well, she is impure.
But you can't blame her. The two of them maintained this ambiguous posture, and His Highness approached her again and said that he wanted it. Could she not think about it in that way?
"What I'm thinking about is painting a portrait for His Highness." She was so stubborn.
"Really?" He Lianhuan asked with a smile.
"Really, more real than real gold."
"Oh, that's because I'm overthinking it."
He Lianhuan let go of the armrest of the chair and stood up straight.
The strong sense of oppression disappeared instantly, and Gu Wangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, I have to go back."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then said softly: "I really can't bear to leave you."
Gu Wangshu's heartbeat quickened, and he didn't know how to answer his words for a moment.
"How about giving it to me?" He Lianhuan asked proactively.
Gu Wangshu nodded: "Okay."
The two of them left the Nuan Pavilion and strolled through the general's mansion.
Both of them cherished the journey from Nuange to the mansion gate.
But the road must eventually be completed.
When he arrived outside the mansion, He Lian Huan flew on his horse. He took a deep look at Gu Wangshu and then reluctantly left.
Gu Wangshu kept watching him and waited until he could no longer be seen before returning home.
Blink to the second day.
Gu Chengfeng went down to the court and told Gu Wangshu that the escort had been selected.
Gu Wangshu asked him who he chose.
Gu Chengfeng said somewhat speechlessly: "It's a manure digger."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
What the hell?She thought she heard wrongly.
"Second uncle, did I hear you correctly? A manure collector?"
Gu Chengfeng also found it incredible that this morning, Chen Zui and He Lianhuan proposed to appoint an illiterate and vulgar person as an escort to greet the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.
Helian Jue immediately agreed and asked the two for their suggestions on candidates.
He Lianhuan said: "When I entered the palace this morning, I happened to see the eunuch in the cleaning room carrying out excrement. Why don't we let the excrement worker be the escort?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were in an uproar and felt that it was inappropriate.
Even Helianjue was a little hard to come to a conclusion, so he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chen Zui, and received Chen Zui's affirmative look.
He Lianhuan and Chen Zui were the two wisest people in the court. They agreed, and the others felt relieved.
In this way, the job of welcoming the envoys fell to the dung diggers.
It's very obvious that this is a bad move.
"The three countries have already felt the threat from Helian to them. They will not sit still and wait for death. I am coming to Helian this time to explore Helian's true identity and to put pressure on Helian."
Gu Wangshu felt that what his second uncle said was very polite.
Ever since Helian Kingdom swallowed up Mobei and Xuanyuan Kingdom without any effort, it has become the largest country.
If the Nalan Kingdom is annexed by the Helian Kingdom again, then no country will be the opponent of the Helian Kingdom.
Helian Kingdom's intention to expand is too obvious, and neighboring countries have to guard against it.
The envoys from Dongling, Zhao and Dashuo came at the same time, which shows that they had discussed it in advance.
The purpose is to let the Helian Kingdom understand that the three countries have united together. Once the Helian Kingdom has ambitions to expand eastward, the two countries will coordinate resistance against the Helian Kingdom.
This is the art of alliance, uniting many countries to fight against the Helian Kingdom.
"Today's morning meeting was mainly about talking about this matter. Their intention is too obvious. They intend to prevent the Helian Kingdom from continuing to expand. If the Helian Kingdom continues to expand its territory, it will be tantamount to a declaration of war against them."
"Has your Majesty made up his mind?"
Gu Chengfeng shook his head: "We don't even know how the other party is going to attack, so how can we come up with a countermeasure?"
"However, the envoys who came to Helian this time are not ordinary people."
Gu Wangshu's curiosity was ignited.
"Who is there?"
"The person from Dongling is Zhou Qingxu, the person from Dashuo is Fu Jiuyuan, and the person from Zhao Guo is Zhao Xinglan."
Hearing the names of these three people, Gu Wangshu knew that this time Dongling, Zhao Guo and Dashu were serious.
These three people are all famous counselors in the three countries, and they are as famous as Shen Shiyan of Nalan Kingdom, Xu Qingru and Duanmu Qingji of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
Before Chen Zui appeared, these six people were the most famous.
But when Helianguo got Chen Sui, their reputation was severely suppressed.
Indispensable for every country is advisers who can make plans.
It can be seen from this that how difficult it was for Chen Zui, who was alone in various countries, to persuade not only the emperors but also the advisers.
But he succeeded. From this alone, it can be seen that Chen Zui's wisdom is far beyond them and is superior to them.
Gu Wangshu said calmly: "Have His Highness and Lord Chen gone to court today?"
Gu Chengfeng nodded: "Go ahead."
"Then what did they say?"
"The two of them have always agreed that when soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up."
Gu Wangshu said with a smile: "Since His Highness and Chen Hou are so confident, the second uncle doesn't need to worry too much. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to support it. The wisest person is me, Helian. What else can the second uncle do?" worried?"
When Gu Wangshu said this, Gu Chengfeng felt it made sense.
After having lunch at the old lady's place, they went back to their rooms.
Gu Wangshu kept thinking about his second uncle's words in his mind.
Although she comforted her second uncle not to worry too much, she herself began to worry about how Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao Guo would test Helianguo.
Once these three countries unite to attack Helian, it will be very difficult for the Helian country.
The power of Nalan Kingdom has been exhausted, and it is the best time to annex it.
At this time, if the other three countries continue to fight uneasily, Helian Kingdom will definitely be attacked from both sides.
What should I do?
If you want to break the art of combining verticality, the best way is to connect horizontally.
Cooperation refers to uniting multiple countries to jointly deal with powerful countries and prevent powerful countries from annexing weak countries.
Liancheng refers to a strong country drawing some weak countries together to jointly attack other countries.
He Zong Lian Heng, or Zong Heng for short, was a diplomatic and military policy advocated and implemented by political advisors during the Warring States Period.
This military policy was jointly implemented by Gongsun Yan and Su Qin. Gongsun Yan initiated it first, and Su Qin lobbied the six countries to promote the six countries to finally complete the joint resistance against Qin.
As advisers to the three countries, Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan must know Hezonglian very well.
I believe they also thought that the Helian Congress would use the art of Lian Heng to destroy their alliance.
Once they see what Helian Country is about to do, it will be even more difficult for Helian Country to succeed.
She needed to figure out a way to break them apart from within.
After Gu Wangshu filtered the relationship, all that was left was to figure out how to disintegrate them from within.
But this step is crucial and the most difficult.
Gu Wangshu couldn't think of it for a while.
She had a headache thinking about it, so she had no choice but to lie down on the bed and try to relieve the pain.
I originally planned to rest and think of countermeasures, but I didn't expect that she would actually fall asleep.
When I woke up, it was already an hour later.
Gu Wangshu lay on the bed and stared blankly at the top of the bed. She had taken a long nap and her head was confused.
After being dazed for a while, she sat up.
As soon as he got up, he heard Qiuchi's voice.
"Miss, you are finally awake." Her voice was filled with surprise.
"What makes you so happy?"
Qiu Chi came over to tidy up Gu Wangshu's slightly messy clothes.
"Miss, His Highness the Second Prince and the Marquis have come to our house."
This was something Gu Wangshu didn't expect. It was probably because of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, right?
"Miss, Your Highness and the Marquis are in the Second Master's study. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Gu Wangshu wanted to go over there, but as soon as they arrived, she couldn't wait to chase after them, which seemed like she was too unreserved.
Gu Wangshu coughed and said, "They can come as they come. It's enough for my second uncle to entertain them. As a woman, it's not convenient for me to see foreign men."
Qiu Chi opened his lips slightly in surprise.
Is it inconvenient to meet your foreigner?
The lady really tells lies without blushing.
Has she not met with His Highness the Second Highness and Lord Chen often enough?
When they were in Taiping City and Taicang Pass, she and His Highness were inseparable, and she could tell that the young lady and His Highness liked each other, so why was it that they were the foreign men?
Also, the young lady followed Mr. Chen Hou to the Hou Mansion a few days ago. Strictly speaking, the Hou Mr. is the young lady’s cousin-in-law, so he doesn’t count as a foreign man, right?
Qiu Chi looked at Gu Wangshu and saw that she was pretending to be reserved.
She chuckled and said: "Since it is not convenient for the young lady to see the foreigner, I will guard the courtyard gate. If the foreigner comes here, I will send him away."
Gu Wangshu tapped Qiu Chi's forehead: "I'm usually too tolerant to you, but now I've started to make fun of your young lady, right?"
Qiu Chi shrank his shoulders.
"If you want to see me, even if I don't go to my second uncle's place, he will come."
"You, you'd better dress up your young lady first. I just woke up, my face hasn't been washed, and my hair hasn't been combed. How can I go out to meet people?"
Qiuchi chuckled: "It turns out that this is what the young lady had in mind. I have learned from this."
She specially chose a pink dress for Gu Wangshu.
After putting on the clothes neatly, Gu Wangshu took a picture in front of the full-length mirror and hesitated: "Will this color make me look too pretentious?"
"How is that possible? The lady is young and beautiful, and she is out of the ordinary, so she naturally wears brighter clothes."
Gu Wangshu felt that what she said was reasonable. Although her appearance could not be called a beauty, it could still be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu. In addition, her skin was fair, and the pink color accentuated her entire body. It was raised a few points.
Gu Wangshu sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Qiu Chi carefully put on light makeup for her, which suddenly improved Gu Wangshu's appearance, which was only six or seven points, to more than eight points.
Looking at his classical and dignified self in the bronze mirror, Gu Wangshu almost couldn't recognize him.
"What do you think, Miss?"
"Very good." Gu Wangshu praised unabashedly.
Qiu Chi's face overflowed with joy, looking forward to the stunning look on His Highness's face when he saw his young lady.
While Gu Wangshu was dressing up, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui had already left Gu Chengfeng's study and were strolling around the general's mansion.
The weather today is very good, the sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. It is the best time to go out for a walk and soak up the sun.
After Gu Wangshu finished dressing up, he took Qiuchi out of Qinxinyuan.
The two sides met by chance in the garden.
When he was still far away, He Lianhuan noticed the delicate pink color.
The pink color stands out especially in the bleak scene of late autumn.
She is like a bud waiting to bloom, dotted in the withered yellow.
Gu Wangshu seemed to realize something. He turned around and met He Lianhuan's eyes.
Knowing that He Lianhuan had come to the General's Mansion, Gu Wangshu pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness? Why are you here?"
Qiu Chi took in the unfailing look of surprise on Gu Wangshu's face, and admired in his heart that the young lady's acting skills were so perfect that there was no trace of acting at all.
Look at His Highness the Second Prince standing opposite them ten feet away.
His brows were gentle, and his eyes were only looking at Gu Wangshu, as if the other person didn't exist at all.
Qiu Chi sighed in her heart, her young lady and His Highness the Second Prince were truly a match made in heaven, and she was secretly happy.
He Lianhuan secretly looked at Gu Wangshu.
After discovering that she had dressed up, she realized that the "accidental encounter" between them was not a true encounter, but something Gu Wangshu had done intentionally.
His eyebrows were raised in confusion, and there was a slight smile on his lips.
"Marquis Chen and I came to the General's Mansion to discuss state affairs with your second uncle, and we came to see you by the way."
In fact, the last sentence is the key point.
We can discuss state affairs at any time. There is plenty of time after the court, but He Lianhuan came to the general's mansion specially, so that his intention should not be too obvious.
The feeling of being remembered made Gu Wangshu feel sweet in his heart.
The two kept looking at each other, automatically blocking the surrounding light bulbs.
Chen Zui, a spoiler of the atmosphere, was in no mood to continue to eat the dog food of two people.
"You two plan to stand in the garden until the end of the world, are you?"
"We are obviously in the garden, but why do I smell the rotten smell of love?"
"I urgently need a cup of hot tea to quench my thirst. The General's Mansion won't even give guests a cup of tea, right?"
He kept chattering, completely ruining the beautiful atmosphere between Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan.
Gu Wangshu's mouth twitched. This Chen Zui was 100% intentional.
Ever since he lost his cousin, he had become twisted in his heart and couldn't bear to see others in pairs.
He Lianhuan turned his head and gritted his teeth: "It is Chen Hou who insists on following me to the General's Mansion."
Chen Zui chuckled: "How come I am following His Highness? I have been coming to the General's Mansion to visit the Minister of War. The two of us are just passing by."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Gu Wangshu hurriedly came over to smooth things over, fearing that the two ancestors would start a fight in the general's mansion.
"Your Highness and the Marquis are tired, how about we go to Nuange to discuss matters?"
Gu Wangshu kept smiling, but he was complaining in his heart.
Neither of the two ancestors were economical about waiting. She was partial to He Lianhuan in her heart, but she didn't dare to be too blatant, otherwise Chen Zui would move her cousin out again.
After all, Chen Zui was her cousin-in-law in name only, and he was considered a family member. For the sake of her cousin, she could tolerate it as long as she could.
What should I do if I can’t bear it?I can't beat him again and again, I can't say he can't talk about it, and I might even make myself very angry.
Gu Wangshu led the two people to Nuange.
The warm pavilion is actually used to entertain guests, but this place is warmer than other rooms in late autumn and winter.
Everyone filed in, and in private there was no need to abide by the rules and sit down casually.
"Qiuchi, serve tea." Gu Wangshu ordered.
Qiu Chi glanced at Chen Zui cautiously.
The last time she was kicked by Chen Zui, that kick kept her from getting out of bed for three days, and the bruises on her stomach have not completely faded yet.
Therefore, she was quite afraid of Chen Zui.
However, Qiu Chi found that Chen Zui didn't even give her an extra glance and completely ignored her, and she felt relieved.
If Lord Chen is a vengeful person, she may be in danger of losing her life.
In fact, Chen Zui was quite vindictive, but he didn't care too much because Qiu Chi was Gu Wangshu's maid.
If it were anyone who was not related to Yun Musheng, Chen would be the first to kill him with his knife.
Qiuchi brewed the tea, poured a cup of tea for Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui, and then retreated behind Gu Wangshu.
Full of tea fragrance.
The three of them drank tea and chatted.
Gu Wangshu spoke first: "How many days will it take for the envoys from the Three Kingdoms to arrive in Yong'an?"
He Lianhuan replied: "In about three days, I believe you have guessed what their purpose is."
"Then have His Highness and the Marquis thought of any countermeasures?"
Gu Wangshu looked at their faces. The second uncle's expressions were solemn when he mentioned this matter, but He Lianhuan and Chen Zui were calm and calm, as if they didn't take those three people to heart at all.
"Since we know that the purpose of their coming here is to test Helian and make Helian dare not act rashly against Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao, then we must make sure that the other party cannot figure out our strength in terms of countermeasures. To the effect of making the enemy fearful."
"It is very obvious that the three countries have formed an alliance. Once Helian shows his flaws, they will most likely attack together and take the opportunity to carve up Helian. This is the most important thing and must be guarded against."
"Combining vertical and horizontal alliances is something that all counselors know. Precisely because they are clearly aware of this, they will be more on guard against me, Helian, taking the strategy of connecting vertical and horizontal to destroy the alliance between them."
Gu Wangshu looked at He Lianhuan's eyes shining brightly.
She and He Lianhuan had surprisingly consistent ideas, and they were almost in sync with each other.
"It's just that if we adopt the alliance method, the three countries will definitely see it, and they will become more and more hostile to Helian, making the relationship between Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao even closer, because they know that as long as their alliance If it is not broken, Helian will be unable to do anything to them, and they will have the strength to compete with Helian."
"So we have to destroy the alliance between them without letting them discover it. This is the most difficult thing."
He Lianhuan nodded repeatedly, and then began to think deeply.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
While the two of them were analyzing the current situation, Chen Zui remained silent, his eyes as deep as the sea, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
The cup of tea was quickly finished, and Qiu Chi stepped forward to refill Chen Zui's tea with great discernment.
Through the hazy white mist, Chen Zui's face looked increasingly mysterious.
Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan looked at him at the same time.
He Lianhuan asked: "Chen Hou is so smart that he must have thought of a countermeasure?"
Chen Zui raised his eyes and looked at He Lianhuan through the white mist.
"The talent of His Highness the Second Prince is unparalleled in the world. Didn't you think of it? No way?"
He Lianhuan had a sneer on his lips: "I do have a plan, but I want to hear Marquis Chen's opinion first."
Chen Zui showed no signs of weakness: "I also have a plan, but I also want to hear some of my favorite opinions first."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
These two people are here again, no one will give in to the other, and there is no end in sight.
"Well... Why don't Your Highness and the Marquis say it together?"
"Humph!"
"Ah!"
The two of them almost spoke in unison, showing a perfect understanding.
Originally the relationship between the two was pretty good, but since Qiu Chi stole Yun Mu Sheng's ashes and Chen Zui misunderstood Gu Wangshu and almost hurt Gu Wangshu, He Lianhuan and Chen Zui have become like two stubborn donkeys. They dislike each other.
Gu Wangshu was almost worried to death.
How old are these two people and yet they are still so childish.
"Let's do this. Just write down your ideas on paper. That's okay, right?"
"Trouble, no need." Chen Zui waved his hand, then dragged his chin with one hand, lazily, not caring about his image as a marquis in front of He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu.
Gu Wangshu took a deep breath. She used to admire Chen Zui, but she didn't expect him to be so difficult to maintain.
When she was helpless, Chen Zui suddenly said:
"Since they want to test our attitude, we can also test their attitude."
"How to test?" Gu Wangshu asked.
Chen Zui did not answer, but raised his eyebrows at He Lianhuan, with a provocative look, as if to say: Didn't you say you have already thought of a solution?I'll give you the opportunity now. It's your turn to speak.
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Chen Zui's look of needing a beating was too irritating.
She hurried to see He Lianhuan and found that he did not look angry at all and was still calm and composed.
He habitually turned the tea cup in his hand and said calmly:
"Zhou Qingxu, Fu Jiuyuan and Zhao Xinglan are all famous for their profound knowledge, extensive knowledge, and understanding of ancient and modern times. With the power of these three people, it is not easy to test them."
Chen Zui curled his lips: "His Highness and I are the only ones who can match the ingenuity of the three of them. Should we personally come forward?"
"Oh, do you think they are worthy?" He Lianhuan said contemptuously.
"There is no way to kill a chicken with a bull's-eye. They are not worthy. In order to show the importance to the three of them, I thought that Helian should send someone to escort them to the capital on their only way to Yong'an two days in advance. The escort envoy The top priority is the selection of the escort. Only if the escort is chosen right can it not expose the flaws of Helian's cards, but also act as a deterrent to the Three Kingdoms. Apart from you and me, I wonder who your Highness thinks is the best choice. Is it suitable?"
Chen Zui's words suddenly gave Gu Wangshu a feeling of enlightenment.
Those three people had no purpose in coming to Helian Country, and they would definitely be eager to find out the details of Helian Country.
Therefore, the candidate they sent out was crucial.
After Chen Zui finished speaking, He Lianhuan continued:
"The best strategy of a military strategist is to conquer the enemy without fighting. The same method can be used to deal with three advisers. Use wise men to fight wise men. No one will admit defeat. Both sides will not give in to each other, and they will inevitably speak sharply and eloquently. Too much talk leads to mistakes, so it is not appropriate to choose a smart person to be your escort, what do you think, Marquis Chen?"
He Lianhuan once again put the question in front of Chen Zui.
Chen Zui raised his eyebrows.
I have to admit that He Lianhuan is really smart, his mind works very quickly, and his thoughts are exactly the same as his.
He was tit-for-tat with him, but he also admitted that his abilities were extraordinary.
Chen Zui then said: "Use a fool to deal with a wise man. No matter what tricks the wise man uses, the fool will not take the initiative because of his lack of ability. This is called using fools to trap wisdom in the art of war. Choose a person who is not very smart. I believe that is the best strategy to deal with those three people."
Gu Wangshu was shocked.
She suddenly remembered a story she had told before.
This story is that when Confucius was traveling across the country, his horse ate the farmers' crops. The farmers were very angry and seized Confucius' horse.
Zigong, a student of Confucius, went to the farmer to plead for mercy. He said all kinds of good things, but he didn't get the horse back.
The most talked about thing about Zigong is his deeds of saving Lu, disrupting Qi, defeating Wu, strengthening Jin, and dominating Yue. He had the talent to manage and govern various countries.
Such an eloquent man could not convince a farmer. In the end, Confucius' groom went to the farmer and asked for the horse back.
After this incident, can we say that the groom is more talented than Zigong?Obviously it can't be done.
How could Zigong's long-sleeved and skillful dancing be compared to that of a horseman?
But why couldn't Zigong take the horse back, but the groom could?
To put it simply, the horseman and the farmer are both rough people and have a common language.
As the saying goes, people are divided into groups. If you use the principles of poetry and books to convince people in the countryside, the two of you are destined to not be on the same page.
Confucius assigned the groom to ask for horses from the farmers. This was called using foolishness to manage the situation.
But Chen Zui used a not-so-smart person to deal with three counselors who were famous in all countries. This is called using foolishness to enslave wisdom.
There are similarities and differences between the two.
If these three people are compared to Zigong, the less intelligent candidate is compared to a farmer.
This makes it easier to understand.
No matter how quick-thinking and good at answering questions Zigong was, facing a foolish person was no less than playing the harp to an ox.
Therefore, Chen Zuicai said that he would choose a fool to be the escort.
Gu Wangshu connected the cause and effect, and a storm rose in his heart.
Everyone says she is smart, but in fact only she knows that she is just smart.
Her wisdom is based on history, and she is a prophet of modern people.
The cleverness of He Lianhuan and Chen Zui is the real great wisdom.
Gu Wangshu went to see He Lianhuan and found that He Lianhuan was smiling.
Although he has always been in tit-for-tat with Chen Zui, he also recognizes Chen Zui's wisdom.
What he said was exactly what he was thinking.
"This palace thinks so too. Have you thought carefully about choosing Chen Hou?"
Chen Zui picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Yong'an is so big, just find an illiterate person to deal with them."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Mr. Chen Houye has such a big heart.
But what he said did make sense. Find a safe man. He knew nothing about the situation in Helian. When he met the three advisers, he would be cautious, for fear that he would say the wrong thing. In order to avoid such a thing from happening, only a few say.
Facing a taciturn person, the more incomprehensible the other person is, the more the three of them will think deeply about how they would have thought that they would just send an ordinary person to greet them.
The matter was thus decided.
Gu Wangshu was repeatedly shocked by Chen Zui's talent, and was finally convinced.
No wonder my cousin fell in love with Chen Zui, even though Chen Zui was as cruel and ruthless as the second prince.
Speaking of which, she and Yun Musheng looked at people in the same way.
They both like the same type.
Now that the countermeasures are in place, there is no need to worry too much about Dongling, Dashuo and Zhao. Gu Wangshu once again aims at Nalan.
"We cannot give the Nalan Kingdom any time to breathe. We can quickly annex the Nalan Kingdom while people are sick and dying. It is not difficult to annex the Nalan Kingdom with the current strength of the Helian Kingdom."
Chen Zui took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly: "When the envoys from the Three Kingdoms are sent away, I will report to Your Majesty and personally lead the troops to pacify the Nalan Kingdom."
He said it so calmly, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
But precisely because it came from his mouth, no one would have the slightest doubt.
The discussion of state affairs came to an end, and the three of them sat quietly together drinking tea. The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
Gu Wangshu saw that Chen Zui had been drinking tea, so he joked:
"The Marquis likes tea so much that he is almost pickled by the tea."
Chen Zui made the gesture of drinking tea.
"Mu Sheng said he likes the smell of tea on me."
The smile on Gu Wangshu's face suddenly stiffened, and when he mentioned Yun Musheng, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Master Hou, drinking too much water can cause poisoning. It's better to drink it in moderation."
Chen Zui didn't respond and continued drinking tea.
Gu Wangshu frowned, don't wait until Nalan was calmed down, Chen drowned himself with tea first.
"Drinking tea is a good thing, but you shouldn't drink too much. If the Marquis listens to my suggestion, I will give the Marquis a gift."
"Not interested." Chen Zi refused without thinking.
He Lianhuan couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly: "I don't know what is good or bad."
Chen Zi glanced at him sideways: "It seems that His Highness really hopes that his woman will give you a gift?"
"The women in this palace have good intentions. Whether you like her or not, I want her." She said, facing Gu Wangshu: "Xiyue, I want it."
Gu Wangshu looked into his jealous eyes and said with a smile: "If Your Highness wants it, I will prepare one for Your Highness."
"But, Lord Marquis, are you sure you don't want it?"
"determine."
"Oh! Forget it if you don't want it. This portrait of my cousin is more lifelike than the ones in your study. It's a pity that you don't want it."
"want!"
When he heard that it was about Yun Musheng, Chen immediately put away his most lazy look.
Gu Wangshu pretended not to hear: "What did you say?"
"I said, I want it."
"Can't you hear me, please speak louder." Gu Wangshu deliberately teased him, who made him look bad every day.
Chen Zui frowned, understanding that Gu Wangshu did it on purpose.
He looked at Gu Wangshu for two seconds, then suddenly stood up and walked to Gu Wangshu's side.
Gu Wangshu was confused and didn't understand what he was going to do, so he waited quietly.
Chen Zui suddenly leaned over and got close to Gu Wangshu's ear. He was about to yell "yes" into her ear, but before he could take the next step, He Lianhuan suddenly grabbed his arm and forcefully pull.
Chen Zui was unsteady on his feet and was about to be thrown away by He Lianhuan.
But in an instant, he flipped his wrist and grabbed He Lianhuan's wrist.
Under Chen Zui's pull, He Lianhuan's body swayed.
The two people fell out at the same time and rolled into a ball on the ground.
"He Lianhuan, are you sick?"
"You are the only one who is sick. Who allowed you to get close to Xiyue's ear?"
"Ha, your woman is deaf, do you blame me?"
"You said no, so if you don't blame me, who should I blame?"
The two started a new round of scolding.
Chen Zui was pinned down by He Lianhuan and tightly controlled.
Chen Zui put one leg firmly on the ground, and the other leg hooked He Lianhuan's legs. With a forceful flip, the two people's positions were reversed, and he pressed He Lianhuan under him.
"Don't think that since you are the second prince, I can't do anything to you. If you piss me off, I will be beaten easily."
He Lianhuan curled his lips and sneered, looking at Chen Zui like he was looking at another fool.
His knee suddenly pushed up, hitting the sensitive part of Chen Zui's crotch.
Chen felt the most pain and groaned.
He Lianhuan took this opportunity to turn over and pin him down again.
"This palace doesn't care about your attitude towards this palace at all. If you dare to bully Xiyue again, I will make you cut off your descendants."
Chen Zui laughed loudly: "Without Mu Sheng, I have already lost my descendants. Why do you still need to do this? Get off me."
He Lianhuan curled his lips: "If you have the ability, you can throw me off."
The two of them walked back and forth on the ground, neither letting the other go.
One moment He Lianhuan was suppressed, and the next moment Chen Zui was suppressed.
The two of them were arguing on the floor until their faces turned red and their necks were thick. Gu Wangshu and Qiu Chi on the side were stunned.
They never expected that two people would develop to such a point.
Qiu Chi looked worried, fearing that the two masters would get into trouble and it would not end well.
One is a prince and the other is a marquis, both of whom they cannot afford to offend.
Completely opposite to Qiu Chi's worries was Gu Wangshu's reaction.
She was a little surprised at first, but as the two people on the ground continued to roll, her brain began to rush to strange places uncontrollably.
Two men, two men with superb looks, temperament and figure, hugging each other and rolling around on the ground, looking very erotic.
Gu Wangshu's eyes went from surprised to speechless to strange and finally excited.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a mobile phone in her hand. It would be perfect if she recorded this scene and posted it on a certain channel to get more than [-] clicks.
At this moment, Gu Wangshu's soul was burning.
If the person rolling around with He Lianhuan at this moment had been a woman, Gu Wangshu's face would have turned dark.
But if the woman was replaced by a handsome man like Chen Zui, Gu Wangshu said that she couldn't get enough of him.
Gu Wangshu looked at the two people motionless, his little heart pounding and excited.
Seeing that his young lady didn't react at all, Qiu Chi thought she was frightened by the sudden change and hurriedly pulled her sleeves.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. I will go and invite the second master over right now."
Qiu Chi was about to leave, but was held back by Gu Wangshu.
"fine."
Seeing that his young lady was calm and composed, Qiu Chi felt relieved.
Gu Wangshu picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea slowly. He looked so relaxed, as if he was watching a drama.
Chen Zui and He Lianhuan were rolling around, their clothes and hair were messy, and they were panting. Gu Wangshu thought to himself: This is more like that, what should I do?looks great.
Chen Zui and He Lianhuan didn't know that Gu Wangshu was secretly kowtowing. If they knew, they would be furious.
Gu Wangshu knocked for a while and quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.
He coughed and asked, "Are you two tired? If you are, get up and rest for a while. Mopping the floor is quite hard. If you feel it's not enough, the General's Mansion is very big. You two can continue after you have rested."
"Pfft." Qiu Chi couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. The lady's words were really damaging.
Looking at He Lianhuan and Chen Zui again, they were stunned after hearing Gu Wangshu's words. They looked at each other a few times and pushed each other away in disgust.
Who would have thought that these two people, who were always calm and noble, would be rolling on the floor of the General's Mansion.
This was the first time in He Lianhuan's history that such a shameful thing had happened.
Chen Zui knows how to make people angry, especially when it comes to Gu Wangshu, Chen Zui can always challenge his bottom line.
Chen Zui also commented on He Lianhuan in the same way. When had he, who had always been so cold and desolate, been so out of character?
The two stood up and began to sort out their messy clothes.
After everything was sorted out, He Lianhuan came to Gu Wangshu's side. His face turned red for the first time, out of embarrassment.
Looking at Chen Zui again, because he didn't embarrass himself in front of his loved ones, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
He stretched out his hand towards Gu Wangshu: "Didn't you say you have Mu Sheng's portrait? I want it. Give it to me."
Seeing that he was obsessed with this, Gu Wangshu nodded and winked at Qiuchi.
Qiu Chi immediately left the Nuan Pavilion and walked towards Gu Wangshu's study.
After a while, she came back with a painting in her hand.
Gu Wangshu unfolded the painting, and when he saw the person on it, Chen almost choked.
The person above was indeed as lifelike as Gu Wangshu said, exactly like Yun Musheng.
"This... how was this painted?" This was the first time he had seen the painting technique of this painting. It didn't look like it was painted with ink, but more like charcoal.
"This is a sketch I made with charcoal." Gu Wangshu answered his question.
Chinese painting is about artistic conception, while sketching is more realistic.
Therefore, the Yun Musheng painted by Gu Wangshu is more like himself.
The first time he saw such a painting, Chen Zui's hands trembled a little.
"This is for me?"
"Since I promised the Marquis, I will naturally give it to the Marquis, but I have a condition."
"What conditions, you say."
"I can't give it to you now. I can't give it to you until you return triumphantly from Nalan Kingdom."
Gu Wangshu put forward this condition in order to let Chen Bing live a good life. As long as he had thoughts in his heart, he would definitely try every means to return home alive.
I believe my cousin doesn’t want him to die at a young age.
Chen Zui was so smart that he immediately understood what Gu Wangshu meant.
He smiled at Gu Wangshu: "Okay!"
"You have to keep it safe for me. When I come back, I will definitely ask for it from you."
"Okay." Gu Wangshu agreed happily.
Chen Zui waved his hand to Gu Wangshu and left the general's mansion without looking back.
After he left, He Lianhuan said to Qiuchi: "You go out first. I have something to say to your young lady."
Qiu Chi hurriedly went out without forgetting to close the door.
He Lianhuan and Gu Wangshu were the only two people left in the room.
He approached Gu Wangshu step by step, bent down, and held the armrests of the chair with both hands, trapping Gu Wangshu in the chair.
Such a posture made Gu Wangshu a little overwhelmed.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" she said with difficulty.
He Lianhuan came closer to her, nose to nose with hers.
"I want."
"Ah?" Gu Wangshu's brain was running out.
want to?
These two words made her couldn't help but think about that, and her face slowly turned red.
He Lianhuan: "..."
He didn't make it clear and she misunderstood?
It's really interesting how Gu Wangshu is thinking wildly.
If he knew that Gu Wangshu had just knocked on his and Chen Zui's CP, he wouldn't find it interesting.
"What are you thinking about? I don't mean what you are thinking about. I want you to draw a sketch for me."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
Well, she is impure.
But you can't blame her. The two of them maintained this ambiguous posture, and His Highness approached her again and said that he wanted it. Could she not think about it in that way?
"What I'm thinking about is painting a portrait for His Highness." She was so stubborn.
"Really?" He Lianhuan asked with a smile.
"Really, more real than real gold."
"Oh, that's because I'm overthinking it."
He Lianhuan let go of the armrest of the chair and stood up straight.
The strong sense of oppression disappeared instantly, and Gu Wangshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, I have to go back."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then said softly: "I really can't bear to leave you."
Gu Wangshu's heartbeat quickened, and he didn't know how to answer his words for a moment.
"How about giving it to me?" He Lianhuan asked proactively.
Gu Wangshu nodded: "Okay."
The two of them left the Nuan Pavilion and strolled through the general's mansion.
Both of them cherished the journey from Nuange to the mansion gate.
But the road must eventually be completed.
When he arrived outside the mansion, He Lian Huan flew on his horse. He took a deep look at Gu Wangshu and then reluctantly left.
Gu Wangshu kept watching him and waited until he could no longer be seen before returning home.
Blink to the second day.
Gu Chengfeng went down to the court and told Gu Wangshu that the escort had been selected.
Gu Wangshu asked him who he chose.
Gu Chengfeng said somewhat speechlessly: "It's a manure digger."
Gu Wangshu: "..."
What the hell?She thought she heard wrongly.
"Second uncle, did I hear you correctly? A manure collector?"
Gu Chengfeng also found it incredible that this morning, Chen Zui and He Lianhuan proposed to appoint an illiterate and vulgar person as an escort to greet the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.
Helian Jue immediately agreed and asked the two for their suggestions on candidates.
He Lianhuan said: "When I entered the palace this morning, I happened to see the eunuch in the cleaning room carrying out excrement. Why don't we let the excrement worker be the escort?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were in an uproar and felt that it was inappropriate.
Even Helianjue was a little hard to come to a conclusion, so he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Chen Zui, and received Chen Zui's affirmative look.
He Lianhuan and Chen Zui were the two wisest people in the court. They agreed, and the others felt relieved.
In this way, the job of welcoming the envoys fell to the dung diggers.
