Chapter 3471 Meeting
At this time, a voice said, "Since the written communication is not clear, how about we meet and clarify this matter?"
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Chen Wenxiao who spoke.
Chen Bi Ri frowned and asked, "Wen Xiao, what did you say?"
Chen Wenxiao said, "Uncle, this matter must be clarified. Uncle was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was assassinated. The killer even fled to Yue State. If we turn a blind eye and let the Yan people fool us, where will our national prestige be?"
Chen Biri didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded slightly.
Li Wuyu said, "My dear, your words make sense."
Chen Wenxiao continued, "Your Majesty, the people of Yan claim their princess has been kidnapped. I've heard that the one accompanying the Yan Emperor on his tour of Yongzhou this time is his eldest princess. This princess is the daughter of the Yan Emperor's favorite concubine and is the most favored of the Yan Emperor. If this is true, and if we don't make this clear, I'm afraid the Yan people won't let it go."
“…”
"This is the border, and if something serious happens, His Majesty won't be happy about it."
Li Wuyu said: "You have a point."
Chen Wenxiao said, "So what the civil officials are saying is that since both sides want an explanation from the other side, why not sit down and talk things out? It just so happens that Your Majesty and the Emperor of Yan are both touring the border right now, so this is also a great opportunity."
“…”
"That's perfect. We can still talk about opening up a few more cities on the border for trade."
Li Wu Yu was somewhat moved by what he said, but then he thought about how troublesome it would be to meet like this, which would delay his time with the beauty, and he hesitated again: "However, you can just take care of these things."
Chen Wenxiao immediately said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be personally investigated by Your Majesty."
Li Wuyu frowned and asked, "Why?"
Chen Wenxiao glanced at Chen Biri and said, "My uncle is the prime minister of the dynasty. Now that he has been assassinated, we must hold him accountable. If anyone else were to ask, the Yan people would simply ignore us. Your Majesty must go and intimidate them."
Xiahou Jiu sneered and said, "Why, Your Majesty is here just to help you hold people accountable?"
This matter concerns their reputation, so Chen Wenxiong immediately said, "General, don't worry. If the General is injured again, His Majesty will not let go of the person who hurt the General."
What he said was clearly referring to the incident in which Xiahou Jiu was blinded in one eye.
Xiahou Jiu's expression became even uglier, but he couldn't say anything at this time. He just covered the eye patch with his hand and snorted coldly.
Chen Wenxiao looked at Li Wuyu, who was still hesitant, and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. If you really want to meet with him, we will make sure everything is properly arranged and will not embarrass Your Majesty."
“…”
Li Wuyu hesitated for a long time, but finally had nothing to say, so he said, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you."
Chen Wenxiao was overjoyed and immediately bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Wuyu sighed and immediately said, "Well, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave.
Everyone looked at his back and knew that he must be in a hurry to go back and hang out with Hu Meir. No one knew what to say. After Xiahou Jiu knelt and stood up, he gave Chen Wenxiao a cold look and said, "You are so deliberate to make such a big deal. If anything goes wrong, let's see how you end up!"
Chen Wenxiao laughed and said, "With a great general guarding the battlefield, how could anything go wrong?"
Xiahou Jiu snorted coldly and walked away.
After they all left, Chen Wenxiao walked back to Chen Biri and said softly, "Uncle, why did you come here like this? Are you okay?"
Chen Wenxiong said from the side: "Don't worry, I will take care of your uncle, the wound is not serious."
Chen Wenxiao smiled.
Chen Bi Ri glanced at the two brothers before saying, "Wen Xiao, why did you want to facilitate a meeting between the two monarchs?"
Chen Wenxiong immediately said, "Yes, big brother, this matter is so confusing, and it is beneficial to us. If we really sit down and talk it out, then all our previous plans will be in vain, right?"
Chen Wenxiao chuckled and said, "How could it be in vain?"
Chen Bi Ri frowned and said, "Explain yourself clearly."
Chen Wenxiao said, "Uncle, you have to understand that you were assassinated, and the killer fled to Yan State. They are in the wrong. And the Yan Emperor's favorite princess was once held hostage by that killer, so we are also in the wrong. Ultimately, both sides went there with conflicts. If they went there with conflicts, wouldn't it be easy to stir up trouble?"
Chen Biri nodded slightly.
Chen Wenxiong said with a hint of coldness in his tone, "But don't forget, Xiahou Jiu won't allow anyone to stir up trouble."
Chen Wenxiao smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort."
“…”
"Besides, if we do nothing and just exchange a few documents, he'll suppress this matter. Then wouldn't all the hard work my uncle has endured these days be in vain?"
Chen Wenxiong's face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, and he was about to say something, but Chen Bi Ri had already said, "You are right."
After hearing his final decision, Chen Wenxiong stopped talking.
Chen Wenxiao said, "Thank you, uncle."
Chen Bi Ri said, "Since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to you, then you should go down and do it well. Do not let His Majesty down."
Chen Wenxiao smiled and said, "Nephew, I understand."
Therefore, as soon as the Yue State had made the decision, the news was immediately passed to Yongzhou. After receiving the news, Cui Yuanmei did not dare to neglect it. He immediately found several officials from Yongzhou City and even the two commanders of the Jinyiwei to go to the South Courtyard, and reported the news to Zhu Feng in the study.
Zhu Feng threw a memorial he had just approved onto the table, then looked up at them and said, "Well, what do you think?"
Cui Yuanmei looked at the people around her.
He is considered a mature and steady man, but in Yongzhou, he is the one in charge. No one dares to speak unless he speaks.
So he said, "Your Majesty, I believe this matter requires long-term consideration. Under normal circumstances, a meeting between the two monarchs wouldn't be a major event. However, while there has been no fighting on the border recently, minor frictions have occurred frequently. The situation in Yue State is indeed very unstable. Most importantly, it was Chen Wenxiao, not Xiahou Jiu, who was in charge of this matter."
Zhu Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Are you worried about what Chen Wenxiao might be up to?"
Cui Yuanmei said: "Your Majesty is a supreme ruler, and the safety of the world depends on him. He must be cautious and careful."
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Bushang and Fang Buyuan standing aside: "What do the two commanders think?"
