Chapter 73 Give her to Gao Changgong
Outside the south city gate, in the vast fields, several horses galloped wildly. Suddenly, a man stopped, only drew the bowstring full, and shouted, and the wild geese fell vertically from the sky.
When the other man on horseback saw it, he immediately rode forward and several guards chased him out and picked up the fallen goose.
"Is this the so-called frightened bird?" Seeing the goose picked up by the guards, King Chen Shuling of Shixing couldn't help but exclaimed, "The goose has fallen before the arrow was shot. He is really brave. King Lanling really lives up to his reputation as the God of War!"
"I dare not take the name of the God of War. I am a stray goose. I am timid after hearing the news. I just happened to meet him!"
"I wonder what kind of beauties Chang Gong likes? I have thousands of beauties in the palace of Prince Shixing, each with their own beauty. Is Chang Gong interested in coming to my palace to appreciate the beauty of Jiankang in the south? At the same time, try the ones I brought today. How about these game dishes?”
King Shiheung suddenly suggested.
Gao Changgong smiled and said: "Beauty is more about the essence than the skin, and the bones are not about the skin. King Shixing kindly invited me, but Gao didn't dare to accept it."
"Isn't beauty more about the essence, more about the bones than the skin?" King Shiheung's curiosity suddenly aroused, "It seems that Chang Gong's requirements for beauty are a bit high. I wonder what kind of beauty is in Chang Gong's eyes." Can it be considered truly stunning?”
Gao Changgong did not answer, but spurred his horse forward again.
King Shiheung also whipped his horse to follow.
"In Chang Gong's eyes, can the Xiao family's granddaughter, who is of the Lanling Xiao family's blood and also has the blood of Han Zigao, be considered extremely beautiful?"
His loud question made Gao Changgong immediately rein in his horse and stop.
The horse neighed and raised its front hooves. The man on the horse just leaned back and sat up straight again.
King Shixing chased after him and continued with great interest: "In terms of appearance, what Zisong saw today is not as good as his father, but it can be said to be a hibiscus emerging from clear water. It is natural to carve and decorate. I heard that she She has superb medical skills and is also very good at painting. Even Xu Shangshu praised her spring pictures. I wonder if such a beauty can catch the eye of King Lanling?" (Note: Chen Shuling, courtesy name: Zisong)
Gao Changgong's eyes narrowed slightly, should he answer or not?
At this time, he really couldn't figure out what this perverted little prince was thinking, so he didn't dare to say anything.
But although he didn't say anything, Chen Shuling, who had been observing his expression, said with a meaningful smile: "I understand!"
Gao Changgong was shocked. He wondered what the perverted little prince was thinking.
King Shixing laughed a few times, and pointed to the green mountains shrouded in mist under the white clouds across the river, and said: "Has Chang Gong heard of Meiling? This is a geomantic treasure land in our southern region. Xie Angong, the Taifu of the Jin Dynasty, It is said that his tomb is buried in Meiling Hill. If Chang Gong is not interested in beauties, is he willing to explore and hunt for treasures with us? "
Gao Changgong became displeased when he heard this, and even Lu Yu, who was following him, frowned in shock.
"To offend the deceased is ultimately disrespectful. Moreover, Taifu Xie was the most famous person in Jiangzuo during his lifetime. Delong Wangzun was respected by scholars. We should admire his grace and style. How can we disturb him at will?"
Hearing this, Chen Shuling twitched his lips slightly in embarrassment, and then laughed loudly.
"King Lanling is indeed a brilliant man. He is different from the rest of the Gao family. Zisong just made such nonsense. It was just a joke. I hope Chang Gong will not forget it," he said.
Chen Bogu on the side felt very embarrassed. Gao Changgong simply didn't seem to care, but looked at the Golden Crow that had sunk into the rolling mountains not far away.
"It's just a joke, but there's no need to worry about it. Today, King Shixing kindly invites me. I'm already having fun hunting in the field. It's getting late, so Chang Gong has something else to do, so I'll go back to the city first!"
After that, he summoned Lu Yu and rushed towards the south gate with a group of soldiers.
Seeing that the soldiers of King Lanling had already ridden away, Chen Shuling's face darkened slightly, and he waved to call Chen Bogu to him.
"I heard that my father really wants to recruit this brave and skilled King of Lanling for his own use. In your opinion, this Gao Changgong may be used by this king?"
Chen Bogu shook his cattail leaf fan, thought for a moment, and replied: "I can't be sure yet. I only heard that Gao Changgong was an unpopular bastard in the Gao family, and even his mother's identity has not been disclosed. It is not difficult to guess. She was a shady concubine. After his father Gao Cheng was assassinated by an assassin, Gao Yang took credit for his brother's work and established Northern Qi. He didn't pay much attention to Gao Changgong.
It was Gao Yan who succeeded to the throne and gave him the title of Prince of Lanling County. However, the monarchs of Qi State had already produced two tyrannical emperors one after another. The Lord of Qi was also suspicious. In addition, there were also Empress Hu and Lu Lingxuan. These women are disrupting the government, and there are sycophants like He Shikai in the court who are slandering the ears of Qi Lord Gao Zhan. I heard that after Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne, he killed many loyal ministers and good generals.
Even if Gao Changgong can't be used by our Southern Dynasty, I'm afraid this will happen if he achieves great success..."
"I'm asking you if Gao Changgong can be of use to me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Chen Shuling interrupted impatiently.
Chen Bogu put away the cattail leaf fan and said with a serious smile, "If the prince wants to use him for your use, why not give it a try?"
"How to try?"
Chen Shuling's interest was raised again.
Chen Bogu then said: "When we were hunting in the field just now, the prince had already tested whether the Prince of Lanling was interested in Xiao Jinyu, the little lady. Does the prince already have the answer in his heart?"
"Do you think he was really just wandering around when he led his troops on the street to block my way today?"
"Of course not, even a fool can see that he is here for that little lady. His leisurely activities are fake, but stopping His Highness to protect his beauty is the real thing. And I heard that it was also the Prince of Lanling County who was at Ascott that day. I sent a bodyguard to testify, so how could Xu Shangshu appear in Ascott by such a coincidence? This upright and important minister is not someone who travels around with tricks and pleasures. "
"You mean, Xu Shangshu was also invited by him?"
Chen Bogu smiled and did not answer, but the answer was self-evident.
"Then tell me, how can I win over this King of Lanling?"
Chen Bogu shook his cattail leaf fan and said: "There are three strategies: upper, middle and lower. The best strategy is naturally to move people with emotion and induce them with benefits. Life is short and you should take pleasure in time. Wealth, sex, power and profit will always be there." What he wants,
The middle strategy is to convince him with reason, analyze the pros and cons, use the power of other countries to force him to have no place to stay in Qi, and then lure him with benefits, until he has no other way out. I will surrender to you, my lord, from now on.
This is a good idea. If he is stubborn and refuses to be used by the prince, then he can only be assassinated or severely tortured to make him surrender. "
Before he finished speaking, Chen Shuling gave a sharp shout.
"Nonsense! How can such a peerless beauty be severely punished or assassinated? Since there is a better solution, the best solution should be the first choice!"
After Chen Shuling finished speaking, he asked again, "How to implement this best strategy? After all, he is the king of Lanling County. Although he is a concubine, he has accumulated reputation through military exploits. I am afraid that money and worldly things cannot tempt him. Moreover, Shicai's temptation has shown that he is not So beautiful..."
"There is nothing wrong with beauty. I just want to see how beautiful she is."
When Chen Bogu said this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap of this insidious brother.
"Really? Then in your opinion, what kind of beauty should he like?"
Chen Bogu coughed slightly and replied reluctantly: "If the guess is correct, it should be like the lady who is a miracle doctor!"
"Okay, then we will find a way to get this miraculous doctor lady and give it to Prince Lanling Gao Changgong as a gift!"
Chen Shuling raised his hands and said loudly.
"But Your Majesty, this miraculous doctor is not your concubine. How are you going to give it to Gao Changgong?"
Chen Bogu reminded him kindly, but this brother Cong, who had always been shameless and shameless, actually shouted: "I am now the governor of Yangzhou, and my duty is to protect Jiankang City. "The whole Jiankang City belongs to me, why doesn't she belong to me?" After shouting angrily, he said, "But before that, we have to find a way to get her to my house!"
Shameless! Ever since he followed this shameless brother, Chen Bogu felt that he was also drifting away from his integrity. He only prayed silently in his heart, don't come to me for this kind of thing!
Don't look for me!
Don’t look for me!
"Bogu——"
Suddenly he heard Chen Shuling calling in his ear, and Chen Bogu's sneer expression stopped.
"You have always been full of clever ideas, so I will leave this kind of thing to you. I want you to use any method, whether it's inviting, stealing, or robbing, to get that little lady to my Prince Shiheung's palace within three days. Come here!”
