Gongsun Weiqing wanted to marry the princess as his wife... Yang Fanhai was stunned. The princess Huangfu Shaowei mentioned was naturally Princess Jinglu. After being stunned, he immediately said in great anger: "What do he want to play with?"

Huangfu Shaowei shook his head: "I don't know what he wants to play, but according to reliable information, Gongsun Shaodian was a little moved, and seemed to really want to make do with it."

Yang Fanhai immediately said loudly: "What are you playing? Didn't Gongsun Xuanyuan say that the Duke of Ji is the one who decides the matter himself? Wouldn't he betroth the princess to anyone casually?"

"Is this casual? Is this anyone?" Huangfu Shaowei asked, shook his head and said, "This is not a place to speak. Let's go back first."

He shook the wooden box in his hand and sighed again: "I have never come out to be a thing in my life, which is really harder than fighting. By the way, tell me how the Battle of Qingzhou and Chentang Pass were fought."

The two of them walked and said that they had arrived at the Duke of Ji soon.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhang Qi came out of the door and saw Yang Fanhai. He was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly pulled Yang Fanhai to the Duke of Ji State's Mansion, and at the same time said to Huangfu Shaowei: "Hurry and see if anyone is following you!"

"Steal!" Huangfu Shaowei was a little confused, but he still listened to what he said, stopped at the door and did not go in, and looked left and right.

After entering the gate, Zhang Zhi then said to Yang Fanhai: "Why are you back so directly?"

"Ah! Is there any problem?" Yang Fanhai blinked his eyes and was extremely puzzled: "The battle at Chentang Pass has ended, and 200,000 troops are guarding there. The Guifang tribe will definitely not attack again for the time being. Why do I do if I don't come back?"

"You... are so..." Zhang Qiong shook his head with a smile: "I always feel that you are full of energy and a little irritable. Now it seems that you don't understand the rules at all!"

"What rules?" Yang Fanhai asked hurriedly.

"Generals who are going out to fight are not allowed to return to Kyoto at will. This is a taboo in the officialdom. Especially in your case, you should be cautious and subtle in every move."

Zhang Zhi immediately explained to him that no matter whether it was the general who led the army to fight or the general who was responsible for defending, he was not allowed to come back casually, even Gongsun Xuanyuan.

Either there are special reasons, or they return triumphantly, or they have to ask for instructions in advance, otherwise they will be considered as having bad intentions.

"You probably didn't let others know, did you?" Zhang Zhi asked.

Yang Fanhai shook his head: "I understand this, let's not talk about this for now. Huangfu Shaowei said that Gongsun Weiqing was going to ask the princess. Do you know? What's going on?"

Zhang Zhi nodded: "Of course I know! The purpose is very simple. The first one makes you uncomfortable, and the second one wants to hold you in your hand."

"Take me?" Yang Fanhai became more and more confused as he heard it. He could understand the first purpose, but the second... he became a little confused.

"Haha!" Zhang Qi smiled: "No matter who it is, you can see that you are very important to Princess Jinglu. If you can stay in Youxiong Country, I am afraid that only a few points are for yourself, and most of them are for the princess?"

"The battles between the royal family are cruel and bloody, especially in the situations of Gongsun Weiqing and Gongsun Xuanyuan, which can be said to be the end that only one can survive."

"Once Gongsun Weiqing marrys Princess Jinglu, becomes his husband and has children. Even if Princess Jinglu resents Gongsun Weiqing, she will never stand on Gongsun Xuanyuan's side for her own children."

"When the final internal strife, once Gongsun Weiqing is defeated, it is not only his own failure, but his wife and children will be buried with him, including Princess Jinglu and his children. Think about it yourself, what will you do at that time?"

How to do it... Yang Fanhai finally understood that on that day, he might really have to help Gongsun Weiqing for Princess Jinglu.

Seeing that Yang Fanhai didn't say anything, Zhang Qi smiled: "It seems like I'm thinking. Gongsun Weiqing is not stupid, and there should be someone helping him around him, so he came up with such a way, killing two birds with one stone. Now it depends on how you take it."

"But Gongsun Xuanyuan promised me that he would not let the princess have such a thing!"

Yang Fanhai said with dissatisfaction. At this moment, he felt like he was deceived and was extremely unhappy.

"Actually, Gongsun Xuanyuan has done his best!" Zhang Zhi said: "Actually, when you left Kyoto, someone once advised King Gongsun Shaodian, saying that Duke Ji and Duke Chang's mansion were engaged. Now both countries have become members of the Youxiong Kingdom, and they should be married to promote the relationship between the two governments."

"It goes without saying that this is naturally Gongsun Weiqing's interference behind his back. However, Gongsun Shaodian rejected this proposal because Gongsun Xuanyuan had promised you that others would not mention this matter in the future."

"It's just that Gongsun Weiqing failed to make another plan and made another suggestion. This time, King Gongsun Shaodian did not directly decide, but began to consider the feasibility of this matter. There are rumors that once Gongsun Shaodian really agrees with this matter, Princess Jinglu is not an ordinary wife and is very likely to be directly appointed as Gongsun Weiqing's crown princess."

"Why?" Yang Fanhai was puzzled.

"Good reputation!" Zhang Zhi explained: "Princess Jinglu is kind and generous, and has a very good reputation. Not to mention that in your country of Ji, even in my country of Tang and even Xiong, there are many people who know it. In addition, the princess is gentle and skillful, in these aspects, she is undoubtedly the best candidate for the Crown Princess."

"And as I said just now, there are you... and the group of us who have been incorporated into your rank."

"Now in Gongsun Shaodian's heart, his successor should be Gongsun Weiqing, but even we all know that it is not that easy for Gongsun Weiqing to take over his position, because Gongsun Xuanyuan is too outstanding."

"He must prepare a group of people who can fight against Gongsun Weiqing in advance, such as the most elite troops who are fighting against the Wu clan and Zhu Kingdom, such as some potential future rookies."

"You took Qingzhou in just a few months and won the battle at Chentang Pass. Not to mention surrendering generals, even if there is Xiong Kingdom, only Gongsun Xuanyuan can compare with you."

"Once Princess Jinglu betrothed to Gongsun Weiqing, it would be like finding a group of good subordinates for him. If it were me, I would have considered this way."

After hearing what Zhang Qi said, Yang Fanhai was stunned and then smiled bitterly: "Don't I win this battle...?"

"Not that!" Zhang Zhi shook his head: "The greater your military achievements and higher your status, the more we will be, the more we will be. Many things will always be faced."

"Then what should I do now?" Yang Fanhai asked, "Is there a way?"

"Of course there is a solution, but I just couldn't imagine it at once." Zhang Qi frowned and said, "The matters in the royal family are very complicated, but they are also very simple. After all, the first priority is always the interests."

"We regard this as a deal. Now Princess Jinglu is a bargaining chip. Gongsun Shaodian thinks giving this chip to Gongsun Weiqing is a good deal. If you want to refuse, you have to give him a larger bargaining chip, so that he feels it is more appropriate to accept your deal, and he will naturally not agree."

Greater chips and interests... Yang Fanhai frowned and thought about what he could do.

Zhang Zhi suddenly said, "Actually, there is one thing you haven't confirmed yet: whether Princess Jinglu herself is willing. If she is willing, is it meaningful for you to disturb me like this?"

This... Yang Fanhai took a deep breath, he was really not sure.

"This is a fact that the Ji Kingdom is gone, and there is no chance to revive the mountains and rivers. Princess Ruojinglu married Gongsun Weiqing, and the royal blood of Ji Kingdom can continue to inherit the royal family in another way. If it were the princesses of other Dukes' Mansions, they would probably be overjoyed..."

Zhang Qiong said slowly, although he was very rough, the truth was probably that's the case.

"I don't want to..." At this moment, Princess Jinglu's voice suddenly came not far away, and she said in surprise: "General Yang, you are back!"

"Ah, princess!" Yang Fanhai was shocked. He was really disturbed, otherwise it would be impossible for him to not even notice that Princess Jinglu came over.

He was talking behind his back, but he was caught. He felt guilty for a moment, his face turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly saluted: "I pay homage to His Highness the Princess."

"I am the princess now!" Princess Jinglu wanted to strode over, but after enduring it, she slowly walked over and said softly: "It's good to be back. General Yang, I don't want to marry Gongsun Weiqing, please think of a solution for me."

"I..." Yang Fanhai wanted to respond, but he couldn't think of a way out in his heart and could not lie.

"Princess!" Zhang Zhi, who was standing beside him, said: "Don't worry, you will think of a solution. But now General Yang can't stay here. He needs to go to the east of the city to wait for Xu Fan's army and then come into the city together, otherwise there will be some trouble."

"Please!" Princess Jinglu was stunned and then said, "General Yang, aren't you back with Dajun?"

Yang Fanhai nodded: "I'll come back alone first. Sorry, princess, I have to leave the city first now, and come to Duke Ji's mansion to discuss with you later."

"Okay, okay, go quickly, don't let someone know!" Princess Jinglu hurriedly urged that she was the royal family, and no matter how simple she was, she still knew these rules.

After Yang Fanhai bowed again, he retreated. He left the Duke of Ji, then sneaked out of Zheng City, and waited in the woods five miles outside the east gate.

Before one wave was settled, another wave started again and Yang Fanhai was speechless.

It turns out that war does not necessarily have to be done with real swords and guns. This kind of war without seeing the cold light of the blade made him even more distressed.

He was intrigued and exhausted. When he thought about it carefully, he would rather face an opponent like a hundred leaders of the Guifang tribe than lie in such a battle without seeing the sword.

This time, how to resolve it... I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't get the answer.
