A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 747 The Wedding Date is Approaching
Gao Changgong felt deeply guilty when he thought of his contempt for her.

But what everyone is saying now does make sense. She, a meritorious official of both Zhou and Qi countries, has a dual identity, and both countries are waiting for her to choose one of the two. She is now walking between the two countries, and is almost openly forcing the two countries to hand over their respective bargaining chips in order to win her over.

At this moment, Gao Changgong only thought that for the stability of the country and the lives of his brothers, he had to find a way to make his wife addicted to his masculinity!
He watched how he grew up, and now he found that he had personally cultivated a female emperor with martial virtue who was feared by all countries. He was in the most difficult situation.

But no matter how many times he is given the choice, he will definitely win her over for the State of Qi.

Thinking of this, Gao Changgong, who had just made the mattress, suddenly turned around, pulled the girl who was smoothing the quilt beside him over, and sat with her on the edge of the bed.

Gao Changgong's black eyes sparkled, and his handsome face said pitifully:
"My fierce wife, my wife... let's discuss something. Be restrained and come home with me to get married. I'm having fun... am I not more interesting than being too successful to shock the ruler? I am just a talented general who only wants to be loyal to the ruler and the people, but I have raised a Huaxu Empress who comes from my mother... I'm really scared..."

The queen next to him suddenly became gloomy when she heard this.

"What are you afraid of? I grew up in Huaxu and am not familiar with the situation in your Central Plains."

"When you understand the Central Plains, who knows whether you will return to Huaxu to ascend the throne, or ascend the throne right here?"

Yuan Wuyou suddenly raised his eyes, "Why, are you afraid that I will force you to seize the throne in Qi? I stayed in Qi just because of you. Don't worry, the probability of me helping you ascend the throne of Qi is greater than the probability of me ascending the throne myself."

Gao Changgong smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself if you lick the blood on the tip of your knife. Now Zhou State is expecting to reward you, but you're helping Da Qi instead, especially after you were the first to capture the flag and charge into battle... Zhou State will probably hate you. And Da Qi will inevitably be suspicious of you."

"If the Lord of Qi is suspicious of me, he will force me to leave. Do you know the Golden Knife Strategy?"

She stared at him with her yellow-brown amber eyes, full of sharpness and seriousness.

Gao Changgong was stunned for a moment, "Some...I forgot."

Yuan Wuyou then said,

"The Golden Knife Scheme was originally given by the emperor to his subjects, and I forced the emperor to carry out the next step of the plan. When I was a subject, I was supported by the people and my achievements surpassed the emperor. Yuwen Huaibi can either be a tyrant and live up to my name, or wait for me to force him to abdicate with justification."

After hearing this, Gao Changgong was even more confused about her.

"Why are we talking about Lord Yuwen again?"

She turned her face away with a smile on her face.

"I have never coveted Qi, but I have always been aiming at Chang'an. Do you think that I have been living in peace outside for the past few months, enjoying the happiness of the people and being willing to be a subject? No, I am building momentum for my own seizure of the throne and piling up a legitimate reason. Once the favorable location and people are in place, every moment is my time."

After hearing this, Gao Changgong realized, but felt a little uncomfortable.

"Even if you become the Queen of Zhou, won't you still... be hostile to Da Qi?"

The girl next to him suddenly looked at him with serious eyes.

"Then are you willing to come with me? If I become emperor, I will make you my queen. If our two countries marry, we can live in peace."

After many twists and turns, he came back to this question again. Gao Changgong could only smile bitterly.

"You and I both know clearly... I am a member of the Gao family in life and a ghost of the Gao family in death. The Gao family will not let me go. And I... I have already pledged my life to the country, so I cannot pledge my life to you."

After hearing the expected answer, Yuan Wuyou could only shake his head and sigh.

"I feel the same way. If that day ever comes... I will have no choice but to give you up."

Hearing this, Gao Changgong felt a lump in his throat. He stared at her with his dark phoenix eyes, his eyelids already turning red.

"I, Gao Changgong, have only two responsibilities to protect in my life. That is... you and my country. If I can't have both... I will first pledge my life to you, and then die for my country."

The veins on Yuan Wuyou's forehead jumped, and he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Don't say such unlucky words."

Gao Changgong silently grabbed her hand that was covering her mouth, held it in his palm, and placed it on his leg. Then he looked at her affectionately with his dark eyes: "After this battle, when we go to Yecheng to receive the reward, you will come back to Lanling with me to get married."

Yuan Wuyou joked, "Then will you sleep with me?"

"Give it to me after you get married."

She immediately pulled back the hand he was holding.

"No, three matchmakers, six certificates, three teas and six ceremonies will take a long time."

Seeing that she not only rejected him forcefully but also pulled her hand away, the man's eyes dimmed instantly, his lips pursed, and frustration appeared on his handsome face.

"But, people only do this on their wedding night."

Even though the two of them had argued about this countless times, Yuan Wuyou still enjoyed watching this old-fashioned man stick to his principles while politely refusing to deal with him.

"You are a military commander, and you were born into a romantic royal family. Why are you so old-fashioned and restrained?"

The old man still had a firm black eye and said righteously, "I can't offend you. This is a matter of principle. I want to be with you through thick and thin. I can't make any mistakes."

"Yo, if we were to die tomorrow, could you just consummate our marriage today? Make it big?"

"Yes, but you still have to worship heaven and earth and follow the etiquette of marriage. You can't have an affair without a matchmaker."

Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but want to smile when he heard this.

"We are all going to die, can you bear to leave me with regrets?"

Gao Changgong's eyes were firm and his handsome face was serious. He still tried to persuade her, "I can't bear it, but there must be a wedding ceremony. It can be as simple as it can be. Because it is said that only married couples can find each other's true souls after death."

"Then will you only love me? You love the people and your subjects, but you are so restrained only towards me. If I am gone, will you also be friendly to other women?"

"I was born for all people in the world, but I only live for you. I know there are more than one person like me in the world, but there is only one of you, and you only have one me."

Yuan Wuyou finally couldn't hold back her laughter, her amber eyes curved and her cheeks turned pink.

"Well, I really am...I will fall in love with you at any time and at any time, even if I haven't done anything yet."

The man suddenly grabbed her hand that was resting on the edge of the bed again, clenched it in his palm and pressed it close to his chest, his eyes firm:

"I love you too, the responsibility of the engagement when I was young, the regret of Fenglingdu, the love at first sight this year, and now... the eternal marriage."

Yuan Wuyou had declined too many times in the past when forced into marriage by such a handsome man, and now she was completely shaken.

She said helplessly,

"You look so well-behaved and polite, and you don't seem like you would imprison me in the backyard and abuse me. Okay. Then in a few days... I'll go back to Lanling with you. I'll get you off the record first."

Having finally gotten her approval and promised to get married, Gao Changgong instantly raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkled and he grinned.

"You promised me? Then you have to keep your word. I want someone to check the auspicious date right now..."

As he said this, he stood up from the edge of the bed, but forgot that he was still holding the girl's hand, and lifted her up as well.

"Hey hey! Wait!"

Gao Changgong then let go of her hand awkwardly, his dark eyes shining.

"Sorry... I got too excited."
