Chapter 96: Evil girl, you actually asked the emperor to exile me to Jinheling?!
Qin Sheng pursed his lips, his eyes showing a complex expression: "No."
Chu Yian frowned even more tightly, not knowing what to say. It seemed that whatever he said would be suspicious.
She glanced at Qin Sheng again. If Qin Sheng could even guess something as outrageous as that she wasn't from this world, what about the rest? Could he guess it too?
But she came here from another world, so it seems understandable that she has some weirdness about her.
After a brief thought, Chu Yian asked, "Um, Qin Sheng, how are the Xiongnu doing recently?"
Qin Sheng knew what Chu Yian was thinking almost instantly and shook his head at her: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Chu Yian nodded, followed Qin Sheng back to the Duke's Mansion, and went straight to Fuhuayuan.
After entering the courtyard, Qin Sheng spoke up, "Things haven't been going well there lately. Every now and then, the Xiongnu army goes to the nearby villages to rob and kill people."
"This is just the beginning. After a while, their actions will only become more rampant, from harassment to small-scale wars, testing Dashun's attitude."
"There's also a debate going on in the court about this matter. Someone has already proposed that the princess marry into a foreign alliance."
Qin Sheng paused, a flicker of disgust in his eyes, and continued, "Although the emperor has refused, if they ask more often and the Xiongnu go even further, I'm afraid he will agree."
"As for the princess who will be married off, she is the one you just saw."
Pursing his lips, Qin Sheng sat down, feeling a little more troubled: "Princess Qianlan has a gentle temperament and has always been dignified and decent."
"If the Emperor sends her to marry, she will definitely not refuse. However, with her personality, I'm afraid she won't live long if she goes."
Chu Yian: ...
This guy... really sees through everyone.
Judging from what the system said, Qin Sheng was right. The princess did not live long after the marriage, and she died of depression in just a few years.
It was rare for Chu Yian to hear a good word about the royal family from Qin Sheng. You know, even Qi Ze didn't have any face in front of Qin Sheng.
Chu Yian was very melancholy: "Is there any way to stop the princess from marrying?"
Qin Sheng opened his eyelids and looked at Chu Yian. He stared at her and then retracted his gaze: "This is a matter of state. It's not so easy to stop."
If those old stubborn people insist on sending the princess over, the emperor cannot waver in his decision and will soon issue an order for the princess to marry.
There is no decree yet, but perhaps doing something can change the emperor's decision.
But once the emperor issues the order for a marriage, there is almost no room for maneuver.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Chu Yian to stop the princess from marrying.
Chu Yian was even more worried, and said in a wronged voice: "The princess cannot marry a foreign prince, and no woman can marry a foreign prince."
Qin Sheng looked over at her, and Chu Yian suddenly sat up straight, staring at Qin Sheng and said, "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. They don't marry, pay compensation, cede land, or pay tribute. Why don't they have such integrity?"
"Do they have to send the princess to marry? Does this serve any other purpose besides showing their cowardice and incompetence?"
Other dynasties would develop quickly after sending princesses as marriage partners in exchange for peace, but for the Dashun Emperor, he just sent the princesses away. What could he develop?
Chu Yian is really disappointed. You are the emperor now, can't you have some integrity?
Send me some troops to fight them! Fight them hard! Beat them so hard that they won't dare to attack again.
Qin Sheng looked at Chu Yian for a long time without saying anything, but deep in his heart, a huge wave was stirred up by these few short words.
Qin Sheng didn't know what kind of emperor could say such tough words, but these few short sentences made the backbone of a country straighten instantly, and made people see the backbone of this dynasty.
The emperor guards the country's gates, the king dies for the country...
He lowered his eyelashes, feeling so upset that he didn't know what to say.
Chu Yian gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "How about I change my pen name and write another story? Can we write two stories together?"
Qin Sheng shook his head and rejected her idea: "Now is not the time. If you write this now, your purpose will be too obvious. It will easily become the target of attack by court officials and it will also be easily listed as a banned book."
Moreover, it takes time for the emperor to learn how to be a wise ruler. He cannot just force some ideas into his head and expect him to follow them immediately.
Even if you do as you are told, you will only end up causing yourself a lot of trouble and it will be of no use at all.
The reason why wise rulers are wise rulers is that they know how to govern the country and how to make their country strong. The emperor obviously does not have such ability for the time being.
Without a strong army and military strength to back him up, his spine would be broken no matter how straight it is.
Once it is broken, it will be difficult to grow back. I am afraid that my waist will be bent for the rest of my life.
Qin Sheng really didn't want to be humiliated by the Huns all his life.
Instead of doing this, it is better to give him time to learn and let him grow quickly.
Forcing things to grow is not a good idea after all.
Chu Yian was very discouraged. He lay on the table for several minutes before he regained his spirits.
She stood up quickly, her whole body full of energy: "Qin Sheng! No rest tonight, let's finish this book overnight, and then we can work on other things."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng's mouth twitched, but there was no need to be so anxious: "Do you think you can finish it? At this rate, I don't think I can finish it."
Chu Yian: ...
She is still writing about Qin Xiaogong. There is no chance she can finish it, but please don’t discourage her enthusiasm.
Chu Yian had just walked to the table and sat down, and had not yet started to look at the manuscript he had written last night when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xiao Fu stood outside the door and said, "Miss, the master, Mr. Chu is here and wants to see you."
Chu Yian: ...
It was obvious that he was here to cause trouble for her: "No, tell him to leave quickly."
Xiao Fu's mouth twitched, and she said stubbornly, "He said he came to apologize."
Apologize?
Chu Yian became interested: "He actually apologized? The sun is rising from the west. I have to go and take a look. Qin Sheng, wait for me for a while. Just one stick of incense. I will be back in one stick of incense. It will definitely not delay anything. He is about to leave. I have to see him off anyway, right?"
Qin Sheng: ...
After Chu Yian finished speaking, he quickly ran to the main courtyard and saw Chu Xiuyuan sitting there drinking tea.
Duke Qin is not at home, and Brother Qin is entertaining him.
She rushed over excitedly, but before she could even hear the apology, Chu Xiuyuan stood up, pointed at her nose and cursed, "Evil girl! I really owed you in my past life."
"I knew you wouldn't come out if I said I was here to scold you, but as soon as I said I was here to apologize you came right away, you evil girl!"
Chu Yian: ...
Dad hates it most when someone plays tricks on her.
Chu Yian's face twisted.
Chu Xiuyuan's expression became even more distorted. "I'm your father! You actually asked the Emperor to exile your father to Jinhe Ridge? You're trying to kill me!"
Chu Yian glared, still unwilling to accept the result: "Old Deng, I advise you to be more careful with your words. What do you mean by exile?"
"That's called a promotion! A promotion of two ranks! Without me, who else could have allowed you to be promoted two ranks and take up your post with honor?"
"The Emperor originally wanted to demote you, but it was me who argued for you, risking my own life and even my own life, to save your dignity! And now you blame me?"
"I should have persuaded the Emperor to demote you to Jinhe Ridge instead of promoting you and then letting you go! You don't know what's good for you, it really makes me mad!"
