Gao Xingzhou was still hesitant and wanted to speak, but Liu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to stop him and asked: "Does it mean that Gao Qing still has a grudge against me and the court? Or does he not look down on King Zhou?"
"The official's words are serious, how dare I, the veteran?" Gao Xingzhou dared not accept this, so he quickly denied it.
"The matter is settled like this!" Liu Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said forcefully: "There is an auspicious day before the class teacher. Taking advantage of the fact that the rebellion is settled, we will hold a wedding ceremony in Yedu to wish for double happiness!"
Under the pressure of Liu Zhiyuan's gaze, Gao Xingzhou smiled wryly and saluted him respectfully: "I obey your orders! I would like to thank the official family for their kindness on behalf of my little daughter!"
"From now on, you will also be a relative of the emperor! We are all one family, and you will be rewarded and appointed by me..."
By this moment, Liu Zhiyuan had shown great respect and sincerity. Gao Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and solemnly worshiped: "I thank you for your kindness!"
"King Zhou!" After settling the matter, Liu Zhiyuan looked at Liu Chengyou and gestured to him.
Liu Chengyou looked calm, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him. When Liu Zhiyuan called him, he stood up quickly and saluted Gao Xingzhou: "My son-in-law, I have met Yue Weng."
"Your Highness, no courtesy!" Gao Xingzhou did not dare to show off.
After achieving his goal and drinking for a while, Liu Zhiyuan led Liu Chengyou to say goodbye. On the way out, Liu Chengyou was called to accompany him on the imperial carriage. From time to time, Liu Zhiyuan had to cough a few times.
"Father, please take care of yourself!" Liu Chengyou frowned, expressing concern.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Zhiyuan responded, lifted the curtains, and spat out of the car in a very poor manner. He turned to Liu Chengyou and asked, "Do you know why I asked you to accept the daughter of the Gao family?"
"My father wants to use Gao Ling Gong to calm his mind," Liu Chengyou said.
Liu Zhiyuan asked: "What else?"
Liu Chengyou continued to answer: "Three generations of the Gao family have been generals, and they have a deep foundation. Gao Linggong is very famous. There are many old friends in the army, so we will marry him to win him over!"
Hearing this, Liu Zhiyuan stared at Liu Chengyou with a scrutinizing gaze and asked in a deep voice: "What else?"
"Hmm..." After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou replied as implicitly as possible: "Weibo is an important town, the basis of the country, and the source of wealth. Now that I have served as the guardian of Gao Linggong, I have been honest with my confidants, and have become a royal relative. It can eliminate a lot of risks of disaster!”
After hearing Liu Chengyou's answer, Liu Zhiyuan stared at him even more closely. He was silent for a while, looked away, raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Go back and prepare for the concubine."
"yes!"
Obviously, Liu Chengyou's answer was not on the "point". But Liu Zhiyuan did not continue to ask questions. He should have figured out that Liu Chengyou might know everything.
Of course Liu Chengyou knew that marrying the Gao family was not just as simple as giving him a woman. Marrying a daughter of the Gao family would, on the one hand, win over Gao Xingzhou, which would be of great benefit to the stability of the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, if this matter came to pass, , the greatest benefit is to Liu Chengyou.
Thinking back to Liu Zhiyuan's arrangements since the expedition until now, Liu Chengyou can be described as the emperor's favorite.
Excitement, concern, doubt, curiosity... Liu Chengyou's mood was full of mixed emotions, and he even doubted whether he was being overly sentimental.
Gao Xingzhou, for his part, called Mrs. Gao to his side with an expression of emotion and told her about the emperor's marriage.
Gao's daughter, named Huaijin, was dignified, beautiful, and generous. After hearing this, she just said calmly: "I understand, dad doesn't have to worry."
Seeing his reaction, Gao Xingzhou said: "I just wronged you. Husband, I am newly mourned, and now I am getting married again!"
Gao Huaijin shook his head gently: "Father cannot refuse the emperor, otherwise he will bring trouble to the Gao family. For the sake of father and brother, my daughter is willing to do it!"
Hearing this, Gao Xingzhou sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Gao Huaijin finally raised his head, looked at his father, and said doubtfully: "His Majesty wants me to marry the King of Zhou, and also gives you a high official title. It is obvious that he wants to win over dad, which shows that he attaches great importance to you.
Daddy, don’t worry too much, I’ll be fine!”
"Why am I worried about this?" Gao Xingzhou said.
Facing Gao's bright and puzzled eyes, Gao Xingzhou explained: "Although this King of Zhou is young, judging from his talents, he is a good match. You are a newly widowed person. If you enter his family, you may be hurt.
What a grievance!”
"It doesn't matter." Gao Huaijin shook his head calmly.
"More importantly, I think this King of Zhou is really not a thing in the pond. He has great ambitions and is extremely favored by the emperor. He has defeated the Khitan in the past, and his reputation shocked the world. This war, he has been given great power.
"Such a person, alas, there is a King of Wei in Tokyo..." Gao Xingzhou expressed his concerns: "In the future, the Han court is likely to have a succession dispute. If King Zhou loses, I'm afraid he will suffer again."
You!"
Gao Huaijin was obviously a smart woman. After Gao Xingzhou's suggestion, she realized what she was doing. A faint smile bloomed on her delicate lips, which looked a little pale. She then comforted her father: "If that's really the case,
That is also a matter of the future. Now, neither father nor daughter has a choice. Furthermore, as father said, His Royal Highness King Zhou is a young hero, and it is his daughter’s luck to have him by his side..."
The wedding preparations were carried out very quickly, and it was not a big deal. It could even be described as simple. The guests did not even fill two tables. However, there were blessings from more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city.
The wedding room was decorated with red silk. Liu Chengyou was dressed in joy. He stood in front of the couch and quietly looked at Gao Huaijin who had taken off his phoenix crown. This was the first time Liu Chengyou had seen this woman. Gao's age was really good.
She is not old, only twenty years old, but although she is young, she has the charm of a mature young woman, but she cannot hide it, after all, she is a wife.
Somewhat strangely, it was the Liu family's imperial army that destroyed the Du family, causing her "family to be destroyed" and her blood debt to be owed not long ago, yet she wanted to marry Liu Chengyou this time.
This is a beautiful woman. Generally speaking, the higher the family background, the more beautiful a woman is. After all, the better her genes are. In fact, Liu Chengyou doesn't particularly care about Gao Huaijin's appearance, even if she looks unrefined.
, as ugly as a pig, he still has to marry.
It's just that being beautiful will make people feel much better. And tonight, he can be relaxed and happy. Otherwise, Liu Chengyou will let him sit in the empty room. Liu Chengyou has a clear mind and calmness, but the eldest brother is not.
Not picky about food...
Gao Huaijin lowered her head slightly, and her intertwined jade fingers highlighted her restless mood. She was not as calm and calm as she had imagined. Especially when facing Liu Chengyou's scrutinizing gaze, she quietly After taking a look at Liu Chengyou, I saw that His Royal Highness, King Zhou, looked pretty good, but that face was serious and intimidating.
She was a little afraid to look into Liu Chengyou's eyes. This man gave her a very special feeling, with a hint of strength in his indifference.
"Stand up!" Finally, Liu Chengyou said.
Finally hearing Xiao Langjun's voice, Gao Huaijin took a gentle breath, stood up obediently, and followed Liu Chengyou's order, turning around twice, somewhat confused as to what Liu Chengyou was selling in the gourd. medicine.
Liu Chengyou was naturally examining the figure of this Gao girl. It had obviously been developed. Her figure was plump, the areas that should be bulging were majestic, the areas that should be curvy were round, and the areas that should be thin were really tight...
The atmosphere was made a little weird by Liu Chengyou, probably because of the tightness, and Gao Huaijin felt stuffy in his heart. He couldn't help but raised his head and looked directly at Liu Chengyou, calling: "Your Highness."
Liu Chengyou didn't speak any more, he just spread his hands and straightened them.
Seeing him in this posture, Gao Huaijin was a little dazed for a moment, and there was a trace of confusion in her bright eyes. But she was a smart woman, and she quickly realized it, walked up to Liu Chengyou with light steps, and raised her Jade hands, take off his robe.
Then, starting from the belt, she helped Liu Chengyou take off his clothes. As the two were close, Gao Huaijin could feel Liu Chengyou's gradually burning breath, and slowly, her face turned red.
The wedding room was warmly decorated. Sitting on the couch, Liu Chengyou watched Gao's timid "undressing" show with great interest before inviting him to go to Wushan together.
That night, Liu Chengyou and Gao Huaijin didn't speak much, but the communication was very in-depth and took a long time...
