Chapter 1366 Angry

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said, "There are tribes that have submitted to us in recent years, but they account for too few of the many tribes on the grassland."

The emperor paused here. He heard this proportion from Zhou Shuren.

Rongchuan, "It is difficult to conquer all the tribes."

It has been difficult to subdue some tribes in recent years, and to subdue these tribes is to strangle them by the neck.

The emperor twirled the beads in his hand, "I will not give in even a single step."

Rongchuan understood that his royal brother would not grant these requests. If he did, it would only foster the ambitions of some tribes, and their ambitions would not be satisfied. They would stare at the wealth of the Central Plains like hungry wolves.

The emperor took out a map. It was a newly drawn map. With the travel of the caravans and the trade exchanges over the years, a more complete map had been drawn.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "It is not the time to start a war yet, but we can prepare in advance. These tribes are the ones who have surrendered. Their geographical location is very important. If there is a large-scale movement on the grassland, they will be aware of it and send a message in time."

Rongchuan was stunned when he looked at the map. His father-in-law had always said that his brother was very ambitious. He finally understood it. He only knew that he had conquered some tribes, but he didn't think that it was a deliberate arrangement by his brother. "What if someone rebelled?"

The emperor's face was cold, "Then there is no need for it to exist."

He doesn't need to take advantage of others, and these are just the obvious moves, there are also hidden moves he has placed.

The emperor looked at the map intently. The ambitions of these tribes grew so fast, and he had secretly pushed them a lot. Invasion did not sound good, and what he wanted was counterattack. The emperor raised his hand, touched the map, and smiled.

Rongchuan glanced sideways. He thought he knew his brother very well, but at this moment he was shocked to find that what he understood was what his brother showed him. He had no idea what his brother did secretly. Although his brother did not explain, he could guess that his brother was waiting for a battle.

The next day, Zhulan saw the girl coming angrily and asked, "What happened?"

Xue Han's face remained gloomy, and his aura was so oppressive that the girls in the room dared not even breathe. Zhu Lan signaled Qing Xue to take the girls downstairs.

Xue Han calmed down for a while, but still had an angry look on her face. "Mom, you don't know how bold the tribes that came to ask for help this time are. They even want to marry my daughter."

The Emperor only has one princess, and the consorts seemed to be making no concessions by not asking for the princess's help. She almost threw the cup when she heard that. If it wasn't for her reason telling her not to get angry, she really wanted to tear those old women to pieces.

Zhu Lan said quietly, "This is just a test. The grassland tribes came this time just for the purpose of testing. They want to test the bottom line of the imperial court. The cultivation over the years has made their ambition grow again."

Xue Han has been with her parents since she was a child. She is also the Princess of Qin, so she can analyze the situation. "Do they want to start a war?"

"There will be no war at the moment. If it were easy to start a war, we would just fight it and there would be no request for help from the capital this time."

Zhulan felt very emotional, she had been in the ancient times for more than ten years, and after the great war that year, the grassland tribes had also rested for more than ten years. This war was inevitable.

Xue Han thought of her deceased cousin Wu Dong. She was young at the time and didn't understand much, but she knew the pain of losing a family member. "Mom, will cousin Wu Chun go to the battlefield again?"

Many, many people will die in a war.

Zhulan couldn't change the war, and her heart sank. "I don't know."

Xue Han no longer wanted to think about the concubine matter, she had calmed down. Her daughter was the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Qin, the only legitimate daughter of the royal family. Although she was not a princess, a concubine would not marry into another family.

Zhulan was a little listless. She was not worried about Linxi. Based on her understanding of the emperor over the years, the emperor was eager for war, and she would not gain anything from testing the grassland tribes this time.

Xue Han saw that her mother was not in good spirits, "Mom, I'll stay with you for a while."

Zhu Lan waved her hand, "You rushed out of the palace and came here. Rong Chuan might have heard the news. You should go back too, so that he won't worry about you."

Xuehan is worried about her mother. Her mother is worried about her eldest cousin because of her news. How can she leave?

Rongchuan already knew what happened in the palace. The King of Qin, who had a good temper among the princes, also became angry. He smashed the cup and went to look for his wife.

As for entering the palace, there was no need for that. He knew his brother's plan, and he was still angry at this test. Bah, although she was not a princess, she was also the most precious. He got angry just thinking about it.

Xu Chen was shocked. It was the first time he saw his fifth uncle so angry. However, there were not many girls in the royal family. It seemed that only his third uncle's family had a illegitimate girl. He would not treat her as a sister. He only had Linxi as his sister. As for the princess, he would not call her that.

When Rongchuan arrived, Xuehan was telling her mother the news she knew to distract her mother.

Zhulan responded incoherently, and when she saw Rongchuan let out a sigh, she said, "Take your wife away quickly."

She just wanted to be quiet, but her girlfriend was worried about her, so she not only stayed with her but also pulled her aside to talk!

Rongchuan saw his mother's expression as if to take your wife away quickly and don't disturb me to rest, and the anger in his stomach dissipated, "Mom."

Zhulan hummed, "You came here on horseback, look at your face, it's frozen. Come on, don't be in such a hurry, slow down a little before you go."

Rongchuan was indeed very angry. He was so angry that he was in a state of panic. He was worried that his wife would get sick from the anger. "My mother feels sorry for me."

Zhulan didn't need to rest either. "Just let it go. Don't make yourself upset over something that's not worth it."

Rongchuan smiled, "Mom, I'm not angry anymore."

Zhulan didn't believe it. Rongchuan's experiences since childhood had made him care about his family. Linxi was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and the first child had a different meaning. Linxi was the apple of Rongchuan's eye, and today's test had touched their hearts.

Rong Chuan smiled, "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Zhulan heard this and decided to remember this grudge. "It's good that you know the answer."

Rongchuan did have an idea. He sent his wife back to the palace first, then turned around and went into the palace to see his father and mother who had just moved back to the palace.

As soon as Rongchuan entered the palace, the emperor knew why. "You also know the emperor's plan, don't be angry."

Rongchuan glanced at the newly replaced tea set and said, "Hehe."

This was not the tea set he brought yesterday!

The emperor followed his son's gaze and cleared his throat. "You came here just to let me cover for you. Go ahead and do whatever you want."

He was also very angry. He and his wife had spoiled his granddaughter so much that he couldn't bear to think about her. He wanted to operate on her whenever he thought about her.

Rongchuan, "I, your son, thank you, father."

The emperor waved his hand. He had been feeling very depressed this winter, being watched closely by his wife. He was envious when he thought of Zhou Shuren accompanying his eldest grandson out of the capital. "I don't know if your father-in-law will bring me any gifts."

Rongchuan, "......"

I really think his father-in-law is like you, but he is also a little unsure!
