"Not very good." Ming Wang drank a cup of tea. He saw that he was a man of few words, but every word he said was to the point.
“Very wild.”
According to King Ming, the geographical location of Chu was not very good, with few cultivated lands and many mountains, which limited its development.
An Jiu listened carefully, and she found that at this time, not only Daxia was poor, but even Chu was not rich either.
Moreover, the hierarchy of the Chu State was very strict, and the national conditions were actually very unstable.
so……
The King of Chu wanted to divert domestic conflicts and develop the State of Chu, which he could only achieve by invading other countries.
The people of Chu were very warlike. They believed that only through war could they become rich.
In recent years, they have also annexed many small countries around them.
"Daxia is just a piece of fat meat in their eyes." King Ming said these words with no expression, like a perfect and cold statue.
"Our Great Xia may seem prosperous, but it is just a pile of loose sand."
After these words, everyone fell silent.
Because Ming Wang is right.
The Ming king also aimed his spearhead at Emperor 깊.
An Jiu felt that the emperor could not be blamed for this, as the country was already a mess when he took over.
Moreover, he was made ill by Prince Ruyang, and was besieged by court officials and the tribesmen, so it was not easy for him to achieve anything.
King Jing frowned and said, "You mean, there will be a war between Chu and us?"
Ming Wang snorted coldly: "It's only a matter of time."
The Ming King's fiefdom is in the south.
He knew the State of Chu very well.
If there is a war, he will be the first to suffer.
Everyone was silent.
The emperor had a calm expression, like a king who could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapse. But in fact, he was not calm inside.
[I knew that the State of Chu was not honest. 】
[Sure enough, he is planning to attack Da Xia.] 】
[The palace maid from last time was a spy from the State of Chu, and...]
An Jiu wanted to listen carefully, and found that he didn't want to.
Because there is another person outside.
Ming Wang is a cold and handsome man. If he is a plum blossom that stands proudly in the snow, then this person who comes in is definitely an elegant orchid.
This person has extremely white skin and is thin and weak. He looks to be in poor health and as frail as if he will collapse at any time.
She is a complete sick beauty.
"Fifth brother, come here." King Jing stood up and personally brought him a chair, as if he was afraid that he would fall.
The person who came in was the fifth prince, who was also the legendary Prince Jing who was in poor health and had been recuperating away from home.
In just these few steps, Prince Jing seemed to have used up all his strength. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
"I heard you were here, so I came to see you." He began to cough again, and the people in the room trembled with him.
After he finished coughing, he smiled embarrassedly: "I caught a cold a few days ago, and I haven't recovered yet. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay." Prince Duan looked worried, "We are so happy that Fifth Brother can come."
Prince Jing had a gentle temperament. He talked to everyone and then talked to the emperor.
The emperor lowered his voice, as if any louder voice would shatter the porcelain doll that was the Fifth Prince.
An Jiu found it strange.
When Prince Jing came, everyone else became gentle.
"What are you talking about?" Prince Jing asked curiously.
Prince Duan said, "We are talking about the State of Chu."
"Chu State..." Prince Jing exclaimed, "I heard it's a warm place."
Prince Duan nodded and agreed: "If Fifth Brother likes, let Brother 괗 take you there."
Ming Wang had no expression: "It's cold and damp, where is warm?"
Prince Jing smiled and shook his head: "No, my body can't stand the bumps."
Everyone seemed to be thinking of something, but didn't know what to say.
【Why……】
The emperor sighed.
[The imperial physician asserted that my fifth brother would not live past the age of ten. In a year, he would be nineteen. 】
An Jiu paused.
Secretly glance at Prince Jing.
Prince Jing had a good appearance, a gentle and harmless temperament, and seemed to have a good temper, but he didn't expect that his life was already counting down.
No wonder everyone treated him with such caution.
The emperor would complain for a long time after drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, but Prince Jing was raised in a medicine jar.
I really didn’t expect that…
Beauty is short-lived.
After a few people finished talking, mutton was also delicious, and everyone went to the dining room together.
The emperor sat in the main seat, with Prince Jing on his left, Prince Jing on his right, and Prince Duan after him. As for Prince Ming, he seemed to particularly dislike sitting next to others and sought the quietest place.
The meat was served quickly, roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, sprinkled with spices, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth after eating it. It was really as King Jing said, not smelling of mutton at all.
An Jiu took some for the emperor, who ate a little and sneered.
An Jiu: "..."
What's going on?
No one provokes him.
[It turns out that they eat so well outside.] 】
[I am just like a fool. I used to eat pig food from the imperial kitchen every day. 】
An Jiu: "..."
This is absolutely true.
The others also heard the emperor's sneer. Of course they knew why, but they kept silent.
Because they did it on purpose. Who made his father favor him? Who made him smart? Who made him the emperor? He gets all the good things, so he deserves to suffer a little.
Prince Jing tasted it lightly and stopped eating. Such greasy food was a burden to him. He sat quietly watching everyone eat, his eyes fixed on Anjiu.
In the past, it was Eunuch Li who served the emperor at meals, but today, Eunuch Li retreated to the side...
Besides, isn’t the emperor not interested in women? When did I let a palace maid serve me so closely?
Also, the emperor didn't eat meat before, why did he start eating meat now?
What caused this change in him?
Prince Jing was full of doubts.
Not only Prince Jing, but Prince Ming also glanced at them intentionally or unintentionally.
An Jiu knew nothing.
When she heard the emperor say he didn't want to eat fat, she carefully picked out the fat. When the emperor was thirsty, she brought him water.
The emperor was sweating all over when he ate, and An Jiu was sweating all over when he was tired.
King Jing asked him to bring more wine, saying that it was from his private collection.
Prince Duan must have been enjoying himself, so he was a little unrestrained.
"Yes, yes, yes, this wine was buried by my third brother in his early years to drink when he was preparing to get married."
After these words, the whole room fell silent. Even the emperor stopped eating and looked at Prince Duan with an indescribable look.
Prince Duan also came to his senses.
I wanted to slap myself twice.
"Third brother, it's my fault. I'll drink a glass as punishment."
King Jing poured him a glass and suddenly said happily: "I am not stingy, that matter is over and done with."
An Jiu: "..."
Come on, tell me, what’s the matter? I'm so anxious.
Prince Duan nodded: "That's right, Third Brother should have thought it through a long time ago. It's not worth it for such a woman."
Under the table, someone kicked Prince Duan, and Prince Duan shut up.
An Jiu: "..."
What is going on?
Can't you brothers talk it out?
Do you have to hide it like this?
Is it interesting?
