Chapter 358 Four Things about Chu
The intervention of the Daxia army quickly ended the war, severely damaging the Chu State and giving Daxia a great advantage.
"How can this be possible? Damn you cunning Daxia people! We worked so hard to conquer Dai, are we going to give them half of it?"
The people of Chu were very dissatisfied.
"But we are already seriously injured. If we don't agree, Daxia will have a reason to attack us. How can we resist?"
Everyone was silent.
Yes, how to resist?
The Chu people, who have always been warlike and only like to fight others, have lost their temper.
"I really can't swallow this."
"If the Daxia people occupy Dai, plus the six cities we have captured before, we will be completely surrounded by Daxia."
"They have strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. If they surround us, sooner or later, Chu will be in their hands."
"Definitely not give it to them."
Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
"It's easy for you to say that. Aren't you waiting for the Daxia people to attack us now? Damn it, we shouldn't have fought this war with Dai."
"It would be great if the eldest prince could lead the troops," someone said.
The eldest prince of Chu State is a warmonger and extremely powerful. If he were fine, they would have conquered the Dai State long ago.
pity……
Everyone sighed.
They all looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
The fifth prince... should now be called the new emperor of Chu. He doesn't know what to do?
Isn’t being an emperor just about eating, drinking and having fun?
Why do we have to get up early to read memorials, why do we have to listen to these nonsense every day, why do these people quarrel endlessly, didn’t they win the fight?
Since Daxia wants to take half of Dai, let them divide it.
They still have half left anyway.
The new emperor thought so, but he didn't dare to make a decision.
After the court session, the new emperor went to discuss matters with the Queen Mother and the Sixth Princess.
"Mother, what should I do?" The new emperor sat in the chair with a distressed look on his face.
The Queen Mother frowned, unable to make up her mind for a moment. She looked at the Sixth Princess.
"Le Yu, what do you think?"
What can the Sixth Princess think? She can only tell the truth: "The Daxia people's conspiracy, whether they fought with Dai or not, the result would be the same."
The Emperor of Daxia had calculated everything.
If they don't fight, Daxia will interfere and force them to fight.
"Give it to him. If you don't, the Emperor of Daxia won't be satisfied." The Sixth Princess sighed helplessly.
The Queen Mother frowned, not very happy: "But if we give it to you, the Kingdom of Chu will be in danger."
The Sixth Princess smiled.
"Mother, can't you see? We no longer have the final say."
The Queen Mother still did not give up: "You have a friendship with the Emperor of Daxia, if you talk to him..."
The Sixth Princess laughed sarcastically: "Mother, look at my face, how much is my friendship with the Emperor of Daxia worth?"
Worthless.
What's more, she and Xiao Ce have no friendship.
The Queen Mother's plan to push her out in exchange for benefits was about to fail.
The Sixth Princess smiled sarcastically, looked at her mother, looked at the useless new emperor, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
There really is no family affection among the royal family.
The Chu people finally compromised.
Each person in Dai State will get half.
In fact, they had no choice but to compromise. The Great Xia army was strong and powerful, and the Chu army was eyeing them covetously.
Morale was completely gone and there weren't many people left.
From now on, I can no longer be tough in front of the people of Daxia.
The emperor was very happy.
The officials in the court were also happy.
Very good.
When fighting against the Dai Kingdom, they took over half of the land without spending much manpower.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Until lunch, when An Jiu came in, he could still hear the entire hall filled with the excited screams of chickens.
【Father, father, father, look at me, look at me, look at me. 】
[I am the most wise emperor. ]
【Hahaha. 】
【Ha ha ha ha. 】
An Jiu looked at the emperor with a cold and expressionless face, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Screaming Chicken's fantasy.
"It's time for lunch."
The emperor coughed.
"Xiaojiu, Chu has compromised, and half of Dai is ours."
He said we...
[Quick, Xiaojiu, praise me, praise me, praise me quickly. ]
[Am I the wise and powerful emperor who is able to plan and strategize? ]
[Am I powerful? ]
An Jiu exhaled and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really amazing."
The emperor's eyebrows were full of smiles. He coughed dryly and said, "Humph, this is nothing. Wait until I conquer the State of Chu..."
【Hahaha. 】
[Damn Chu people, you killed my father and mother, wait for death. 】
The emperor always remembered this grudge, and even if the instigators, Prince Jin and Concubine Shu, died, it was difficult to ease his hatred.
His revenge is not just about killing a few weaklings.
The emperor was so happy today that he ate two extra bowls of rice.
An Jiu looked at the proud little curly-haired boy and started laughing too.
I thought, what a clever curly-haired guy...
Awesome curly hair...
A vengeful little curly-haired man.
…
The army returned victoriously and was warmly welcomed by the people in the city.
Also returning at the same time was the third son of the Li family, Li Mo.
Marquis Dingyuan stood on the city wall, watching his youngest son return safely, tears streaming down his face.
I'm finally back.
Finally I returned safely.
Li Mo's trip was relatively short this time, mainly because of the war between the Chu and Dai states.
The people of Daizhou are also funny, because Daizhou used to belong to the Dai Kingdom, and many people from the Dai Kingdom migrated here later. Deep down in their hearts, they have always considered themselves to be people of Dai. They are very repulsive to Daxia and not very loyal to the emperor. They always think of themselves as returning to the Dai Kingdom one day.
This time, when the State of Chu and the State of Dai were at war, they secretly supported the State of Dai.
Even after the defeat of Dai, he secretly took in members of the Dai royal family.
Li Mo knew all these. After he went there, those people were very repulsive to him at first. However, Li Mo was completely like a playboy. He spent his days eating, drinking and having fun, not caring about anything else.
These people relaxed their vigilance towards him.
Li Mo took this opportunity to collect evidence.
He was not in a hurry to rectify Daizhou because the people there were cliques and it was impossible to rectify it. He could only wait for the emperor to send people to catch them all in one fell swoop and then slowly reform them later.
When the Chu and Dai states were at war, God was helping Li Mo.
Those people in Daizhou jumped out on their own...
King Jing's army took the opportunity to destroy the powerful people in Daizhou.
So Li Mo also came back to report.
This time, he made a contribution and let the emperor see his ability and determination. He believed that the emperor would put aside his prejudice and make use of him.
As for his family, his father is old and tired of the intrigues in the court, and his brother is a brave man, so he just stays at home and inherits the title.
There was a celebration banquet in the evening. Eunuch Li and others helped the emperor to dress. An Jiu stood by and stared at the emperor like a crazy fan.
After the emperor was dressed, everyone, including the emperor, breathed a sigh of relief.
It is indeed difficult to wear, but this dress is really handsome. As long as the emperor doesn't speak, his aura reaches ten meters.
The emperor saw An Jiu staring at him motionlessly, and suddenly asked: "Does it look good?"
Of course he was good-looking, of course he was handsome. This was when the emperor was at his most proud and high-spirited. He was glowing...
"It looks good." An Jiu said honestly.
The emperor secretly winked at her while no one was paying attention.
An Jiu couldn't help laughing.
How childish.
