Wen Dun returned to the inn, smiled and nodded with Colonel Da Chu, who was guarding outside, before entering, "The Colonel looked at Yan Sheng, and Da Chu changed his defense again?"

   "Yes, it was changed shortly after the adults left."

  Wen Dun smiled, "Da Chu is cautious."

   The generals and soldiers guarding the inn always switched defenses, and often they were replaced after they had established a good relationship with those soldiers, and a new batch of new ones came.

   "His Royal Highness," Wen Dun couldn't help but stop when he saw the fifth prince who was practicing arrows in the yard. Seeing his gloomy expression, he couldn't help but persuade him, "Don't worry, Your Highness, you can go out in a while."

The fifth prince dropped his bow and arrow, sat down on the steps and said, "Cousin, don't comfort me, it's been almost a month since you came to Da Chu, but Da Chu agreed to release me from the Heavenly Prison and imprison me here. Besides, the peace talks haven't made any progress, and looking at Da Chu's strong attitude now, we may not be able to return the whole body."

Wen Dun was silent, waved his servants back, then sat next to him and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I can feel that Da Chu does not want to start a war. Since there is a consensus on this, our peace talks can always be negotiated. ."

"The conditions proposed by Da Chu are so harsh, how confident is my cousin that he can convince the country?" The fifth prince looked down at the steps under his feet, and his eyes were slightly red: "Brother Wang's throne has not yet been firmly seated, if you sign this paper The ministers and generals will definitely have opinions on the peace treaty, and maybe they will let Uncle Wang and Brother Three Kings take advantage of it."

   At that time, compared to Da Chu, I am afraid that people in the country do not want him to be alive, right?

"Since it is a negotiation, there is naturally a chance for bargaining. Don't worry, I will try my best to make the peace agreement within the acceptable range of our country. Our Tartars must not start a war in the near future," Winton said in a low voice: "Our country has already exhausted Impressive."

  The fifth prince was depressed, and after holding it for a long time, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Cousin, do you think it was arranged by the father?"

   Winton was silent.

  The fifth prince observed his expression, what else did he not understand?

   He couldn't help but wipe away his tears, "It is said that the late emperor was cruel to today, and he almost killed him who was still the crown prince back then, but now when I look at the father and king, why is he not cruel?"

"Anyway, the first emperor found a reason to kill his son in an upright manner, but he, knowing that I would come and go, he still sent me here. When he was in the royal court, he loved me so much, and I look back today. Is it all fake?"

  Wen Dun patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are too extreme. After all, you are the son of the late king. His love for you will definitely not be fake, it's just..."

"It's just more important to kill the late emperor, mess up the Dachu court, and take the opportunity to attack Dachu, isn't it?" The fifth prince laughed at himself with tears in his eyes: "Yes, if the assassination is successful, the emperor and the prince are both dead, then only The fourth prince inherits the throne. The fourth prince has the handle in their hands, so they don't worry about his disobedience to the father. And the other princes and ministers of Da Chu will definitely not accept the fourth prince to ascend the throne. At that time, it is inevitable to fight and civil strife, and they will go south after they fight fiercely. , maybe it can change the day.”

   "Even if it doesn't work, the emperor will also be suspicious of the fourth prince and the crown prince, and the battle for succession will be more serious. The Great Chu will also be at war with each other. Just sacrificing one son, a few warriors can achieve this effect. The father must be very happy, right?"

   Winton was silent.

   The fifth prince sneered: "It's a pity that the Great Chu did not become chaotic, but it was our country that became chaotic first."

"His Royal Highness," Wen Dun said, taking his shoulders, "in any case, Tartar is your motherland. We must unite as one and be careful with the Great Chu. No matter how much the former king has, he has passed away. already."

   And his death was also caused by the second prince, which was indirectly caused by the current khan. One revenge for another, the fifth prince's revenge for being regarded as an abandoned son can be regarded as revenge.

  The fifth prince also thought of this, and it was because of this that he was even more sad. He wiped away tears and said, "Cousin, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

   "Did you know that Qin Xinfang has a nephew?"

"I know," the fifth prince straightened his legs and said, "I saw him at the hunting ground at that time. I heard that he was only eight fights tall and very powerful. But I think his wife is even more powerful. My cousin was not in the hunting ground at that time. I don't know, her light skills are so good, she can actually be faster than the arrow of the archer, and she just saved the present from the arrow."

   "I've seen it," Wen Dun thought of the two who were flying in the lotus flowers today, and nodded: "Qinggong is really powerful, I want you to make friends with them."

The fifth prince looked at him woodenly and said: "Cousin is joking with me, he is now the nephew of the old man, and I am the prince of the enemy, a prisoner of the Great Chu, I can't even get out of the inn door, what can I do? Befriend them?"

"I have already asked people to inquire about their preferences. Although you are imprisoned here, you are free in the inn, and you are also a prince. When the time comes to post a message to their couple, I don't think they will refuse. "

"Cousin, you don't know, Gu Jingyun is very arrogant and arrogant. I heard that he doesn't like to interact with the powerful families in Beijing. He doesn't read any posts sent to his family. Except for some mansions with good relations, he almost has no relationship with officials. If we have no other contacts, how could such a person accept my invitation?"

"Because it is his uncle who is talking to us now," Wen Dun said with a light smile, "and although he is an official in the court, he does not hold real power, and although you are an enemy prince, you are already a prisoner. , Gu Jingyun doesn't have to shy away from dealing with you."

   "It's not that he is not shy, but why is he willing to associate with me?"

"Didn't I already say it, because now we are talking to his uncle, and I heard that he grew up with his uncle and loves his father and son. It's been almost a month, and the peace talks haven't made any progress. I want to be sure. Not only our Tartars, but Da Chu must be in a hurry."

  The Fifth Prince thought deeply.

  Wen Dun smiled with the corners of his mouth up, Qin Xinfang was patient, but this is the capital of Great Chu, and hundreds of officials are in the court, so he can keep his composure, other officials may not be complacent.

   Qin Xinfang was under so much pressure that he didn't believe that the young Gu Jingyun could sit still.

The person who went to inquire about the news came back at night, "...except for the court, entering the palace and going to the academy, Gu Jingyun has almost no favorite places to go. Most of the time he stays at home and occasionally goes shopping with his wife, but it is limited to listening to In the area of ​​Saint Street, most of the shops are bookstores and other antique shops."

"Mrs. Gu's life will be richer. In addition to her home and Qin's house, she will visit the shop every once in a while. According to the investigation of her subordinates, she seems to be in the cloth business with her teacher, and the investment is very large. Recently, she ran to the shop. more time."

   "What about their hobbies?"

   The subordinates thought and hesitated for a long time and said, "It should be a book. Their husband and wife always read books every day, so they should love to read books."

  Culture is a shortcoming of the Tatars. When it comes to books, which place can compare to the Central Plains? What's more, Gu Jingyun was born in the Qin family, so wouldn't he still have no books to read?

   Wen Dun rubbed his forehead.

The fifth prince's eyes lit up and said: "Cousin, don't you also love to read books, many of them are from the royal family's collection, they are all handed down by our ancestors and warriors, and the people who write the books are also from my grassland. The person who used it is still our words, Gu Jingyun must have never seen it before."

Wen Dun's eyes lit up and he got up and said, "Then I'll find two irrelevant books and send them to him. Later, you can write a post and give it to the next person to send along with him, and invite him to visit the house tomorrow. You don't have to. Whatever you do, just chat and drink tea with him and have a good relationship."

   Wen Dun knew that it was impossible to get any promises and benefits from Gu Jingyun, so he also wanted him to have an attitude, an attitude that he didn't hate the Tartars and was willing to be friends with them.

   In this way, he can find a topic to chat with Qin Xinfang next time when the two countries have peace talks again, at least let him soften his attitude first.

Wen Dun planned here, enjoying a delicious dinner with Li Baolu, and Gu Jingyun, who was walking back slowly, was also talking to Li Baolu about Wen Dun, "Wen Dun is very smart, he knows that I am my uncle's nephew, and he must want to find it from me. Breakthrough, I don’t want to stay in the capital, and tomorrow you and I will go out of the city to Qixia Temple for two days.”

   "Will you not go to the Great Court the day after tomorrow?"

"Ask for leave, anyway, I have nothing to say to the court." Gu Jingyun was absent from work, and he shook the hand he was holding and said, "Don't you dislike the hot weather? The most famous ones on Qixia Temple are the three cold springs. It is very cool to live in the mountains, we will go there for two days and wait for the peace talks to resume, and we will come back after the hottest two days have passed.”

   "Good idea," Li Baolu asked, "then what should I pack?"

   "You don't need to clean up anything, as long as you follow me," Gu Jingyun said with a light smile: "You must be exhausted today, go back to wash and go to bed."

   Gu Jingyun really didn't let Li Baolu pack up, but instructed Hearts to pack up two big burdens.

  Li Baolu sat groggyly beside the bed with her hair loose and asked, "Only these two bags?"

   "Enough is enough, we all eat and drink in Taoism, so we don't have to worry about it."

   "Don't you have hearts?"

   "No, only you and me."

  Li Baolu nodded when she heard the words, climbed into bed and lay down to sleep. She has been very excited today, and she is really sleepy now.

  Gu Jingyun waved the hearts back, sat beside the bed and watched her for a while, then covered her stomach with a thin blanket.

   There is also an ice basin in the corner of the house, but Gu Jingyun doesn't think it has much effect. It's just that when the wind blows in, it blows the water vapor that rises up to feel cooler.

   Fortunately, they all have internal strength, otherwise this summer will be really difficult.

Gu Jingyun turned to wash up, sat by the window and dried her hair before going to bed and lying beside Bao Lu. Looking at his sleeping wife with her mouth slightly open, Gu Jingyun couldn't help kissing her on the forehead, turned around and turned off the lights and hugged her. He fell asleep in his arms.

   Gu Jingyun did not attend eight of the ten court meetings. The two times he attended, he either quarreled with people or raised opinions that made people quarrel, so not many people liked him to attend the court meetings.

   So he didn't have to show up in person to ask for leave, he just had to be handed a leave request and the Ministry of Staff would approve it.

   also said that Gu Jingyun could rest for as long as he wanted. After all, the task of teaching the prince was heavy. It was normal for him to be young and weak.

  For the sake of the country and the people of Chu, please take care of your health, Lord Gu.
