Just as Gongsun Yong said, there are four or five ceramics that look a bit dated in the room of the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng. It is obvious that the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng is really obsessed with antiques these days. The styles of the four or five antiques are all different.
They are all different. One of them is completely purple and black and exudes a touch of elegance. The handle of the elephant trunk is quite novel and gives people a refreshing feeling.
"Did the eldest prince, His Highness Gongsun Cheng, really just invite me to appreciate the antiques?" Gou Dian was secretly confused. After sitting down on a rosewood chair, he cast his eyes on Gongsun Cheng. Gongsun Cheng looked at this moment.
It was quite leisurely going up, and it was really hard to imagine what he wanted to say to Gou Dian.
Gongsun Cheng was indeed not in a hurry to talk about important things. He pointed at the purple-black antique with his big hand and said with a smile: "Brother Gou, what do you think of this thing?"
Gou Dian was slightly stunned. As Gongsun Cheng asked, he became more and more convinced that Wang Zicheng invited him here to share his joy. He smiled faintly and could only answer honestly: "Your Highness, I don't know much about antiques.
, I’m afraid if I say it, it will make His Highness the Prince laugh.”
"Brother Gou is too polite, haha." Wang Zicheng waved his hand to signal Gou Dian not to be formal, and then said with a faint smile, "Brother Gou, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. I'm not restrained about these things, I just want to know other people's true thoughts.
That’s all. Please don’t say complimentary words. If you do, it would be too disrespectful.”
"If that's the case, then I'm not polite." Gou Dian nodded and chuckled, then returned his gaze to the purple-black antique, and then commented slowly, "This antique, in my opinion, is
It seems to exude a faint aura of elegance, and I'm afraid it was the work of a famous artist. Even if it's not the hand of a famous artist, it's probably the work of a literati."
The eldest prince Gongsun Cheng nodded and said nothing more.
Gou Dian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "This whole body is purple and black, giving people a sense of mystery. In addition, the shape of its trunk and handle is quite novel. There seems to be no such animal in the Great Britain.
There may be similar monsters, so I venture to believe that this thing was not unearthed within the borders of our Great Britain Empire."
Hearing this, Wang Zicheng's eyes flashed with light and he clapped his hands quickly. He looked up and down at Gou Dian with great satisfaction, and then he smiled and praised: "Brother Gou, hehe, Brother Gou is really my confidant! Not bad!"
, as Brother Gou said, this ceramic was not unearthed from our Great Britain Empire, but was recently a gift from a big country to our Great Britain Empire. This is why the Great Britain Empire can have good relations with other countries.
Blessings to all people!"
"This is indeed a blessing for all people." Gou Dian nodded repeatedly, but he did not fail to ask which big country that big country was. Since the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng did not mention that, it proved that that big country might be a secret.
As an envoy to the Great Britain, if you reveal the information at will, you may cause unnecessary trouble, and Gou Dian also understands this.
Wang Zicheng seemed quite satisfied with Gou Dian's reaction. He smiled faintly and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Gou, have you heard any strange rumors recently?"
"Weird rumors?" Gou Dian was stunned.
"Yes, it's just a strange rumor." Wang Zicheng nodded, stood up and walked around the table, and then said to Gou Dian, "Ah, well, it's a rumor related to the Gou family.
"
Gou Dian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "To be honest, Your Highness, the eldest prince, Mr. Gou has broken away from the Gou family of Xiaerjia Principality. Things related to that aspect cannot be easily inquired."
"That's it." Wang Zicheng nodded, his pale golden eyes narrowed and he glanced at Gou Dian again when Gou Dian wasn't paying attention. When he saw that Gou Dian's expression was not strange, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Gou Dian: "Speaking of which, Brother Gou, I invite you to come this time. In fact, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Do you have something to discuss with me?" Gou Dian was stunned, shook his head slightly, and said, "If His Highness, the eldest prince, has anything to say, just tell Gou."
"Yes, that's right!" Wang Zicheng nodded, looked at Goudian again, and then seemed to feel relieved about Goudian, and continued, "Actually, I hope that Brother Gou can support me in becoming the crown prince.
position."
"Support His Highness the Great Prince!?" When Gou Dian heard this, he was stunned! He had never thought that Wang Zicheng would say such words to him. He was slightly stunned and then opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness the Great Prince
, What’s the explanation for this? His Majesty the Great is still alive, is it too early to say this? What’s more, how can I be qualified to support His Highness the Great Prince? "
"Brother Gou, this is wrong." The eldest prince Gongsun Cheng waved his hand slightly, narrowed his pale golden eyes and continued, "Actually, maybe you already know, Brother Gou, that my father's health has been deteriorating. That time
Asking Brother Gou to help get the Red Dragon Companion Crystal is the best example. Under this situation, even some ministers in the palace have begun to urge the father to establish a prince as soon as possible. The father is not a
He is a domineering figure. I am afraid that when the time comes, my father will let a prince who is better able to win over his subjects be appointed as the crown prince. Therefore, I need Brother Gou’s strength."
"His Royal Highness, Gou still thinks that it is too early to decide on this matter. After all, His Majesty the Great is still alive." There was a seriousness in Gou Dian's expression, and he continued without any nonsense, "If we decide now,
Gou is afraid that His Majesty the Great will see this matter in such a grand manner as to win over the important officials of the imperial court and even the nobles, and this will not be conducive to His Highness becoming the true crown prince."
"...That's what Brother Gou said." Wang Zicheng was silent for a moment and then finally nodded. Perhaps he was too impatient about this.
Gou Dian also saw that the anxiety in Wang Zicheng's heart was slightly relieved. He shook his head and chuckled: "What's more, Gou is just an insignificant viscount. For His Highness, the power is still insufficient. Perhaps it is better to use low power."
Appropriate. Under this situation, it doesn't make much difference whether Gou agrees or not." There is one thing Goudian didn't say, that is, he has not seen the grace of other princes and the eldest prince Gongsun.
Compared with Cheng, of course, this sentence cannot be said to Wang Zicheng.
Wang Zicheng didn't care much about Gou Dian's polite refusal. In fact, he still had some grudges about what Emperor Great Britain once told him, "Gou Dian cannot be trusted." At this time, Gou Dian's polite refusal came under his control
Deep down in his heart, he might have breathed a sigh of relief, so Wang Zicheng didn't pursue him and just nodded slightly, that's all.
Faced with Wang Zicheng's attitude, Goudian felt a little unhappy for some reason. If Wang Zicheng really wanted to extend an olive branch to him, he would have at least pursued him a little longer, but in fact, it was Wang Zicheng who easily
Giving up, this seems to only mean one problem: he is just a junior viscount who broke away from the Gou family of Lower Erjia Principality, but his strength is still too weak!
The two of them chatted for a while, and then the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng saw that Gou Dian already had the intention to leave, so he said happily: "Then, Brother Gou, I won't send it away. If you support me one day to become
As for the prince's intention, you are more than welcome to come to me to discuss it again, and I, Gongsun Cheng, will definitely treat you well."
"In that case, I would like to thank His Highness the First Prince in advance." Gou Dian nodded and chuckled, slowly stood up, and exchanged greetings with Wang Zicheng for a few more words before slowly leaving the dormitory. Gou Dian naturally knew that
The last sentence of the eldest prince was just a polite word, but even so, Gou Dian still felt warm in his heart. If there was no intention to recruit at all, then the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng would not have to add the last sentence at all. In this case, could Gou Dian be able to bring the eldest prince Gongsun to the throne?
Does Cheng's last sentence sound like the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng's expectations for his growth? If this is really the case, then Gou Dian will definitely be very happy.
Not long after Gou Dian left, the eldest prince Gongsun Cheng took a sip of fragrant tea. At that moment, he suddenly remembered another thing. If Wang Zicheng remembered correctly, then the Great Emperor should summon Gou Dian.
Although Wang Zicheng didn't know what his father, Emperor Dabulie, wanted to discuss with Gou Dian. At this moment, I'm afraid one or two captains of guards from the palace were already waiting in front of Luo Yujian. I believe that when Gou Dian returns,
After Luo Yujian, he had to leave for the Emperor's Palace. Just thinking about it made Wang Zicheng feel that Gou Dian was really busy this day.
"Busy man, busy man." Wang Zicheng shook his head and chuckled, staring at a few antiques and then fell into deep thought again. At this time, Gou Dian had already leisurely walked back to the dormitory where he lived, Luo Yujian.
I saw one or two middle-aged men wearing the uniforms of the palace guards waiting for something in front of Luo Yujian's door. There were only three people living in Luo Yujian, namely he Goudian, Ji Yuntong and Hou Lin.
, and Ji Yuntong and Hou Lin were both in Luo Yujian at this time. Since the two palace guards were not looking for Ji Yuntong and Hou Lin, it was obvious that the person the two guards were looking for was his level Viscount Gou Dian.
.
"Two of you, I wonder if you are looking for Gou?" Gou Dian walked quickly to the two guards, and asked directly with a faint smile. His things at this time had a faint aura of nobility, and it was not difficult to find him.
Let people see that he is a noble.
After hearing Gou Dian's question, one of the yellow curly-haired guards looked Gou Dian up and down, and then remembered that Gou Dian called himself "Gou" just now, and then he raised his hand to Gou Dian and asked: "Excuse me,
Is this person the Viscount Goudian?"
"Yes, I am Gou Dian." Gou Dian nodded and responded directly.
