Chapter
The death of the Prince of Ying did not cause any turmoil, because there was no news outside except the border town. In the border town, Chu Xiuyuan received the secret letter and sent a letter to Xi Yunjing in central Fujian, and then to General Jin and others. Chu Xiuyuan looked at the map hanging on the wall of the meeting hall. Zhao Duan even felt unreal, "The Prince of Ying..." dead?
Chu Xiuyuan nodded. He understood what Zhao Duan meant. In fact, before Chu Xiuming went, he told Chu Xiuyuan that if possible, he would find a way to keep the Prince of Ying. Because they were only two or three points to grasp, they did not tell too many people about this matter. The most important purpose of this trip was to save Chu Xiuyao.
Zhao Duan slowly let out a breath, thought for a long time and said, "Would it be too hasty? If there was no Prince of England, then what if Emperor Cheng..."
Chu Xiuyuan understood what Zhao Duan meant, narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, the capital is not at ease."
Zhao Duan frowned, Chu Xiuyuan pointed at the location of the capital with his fingers and said, "Emperor Cheng still doesn't understand what the Empress Dowager's departure from the capital means."
Chu Xiuyuan and the others didn't know that Shen Jin was pregnant, so they guessed that the reason why the empress dowager left Beijing was just to give up Emperor Cheng. In fact, they were not wrong. Even if Shen Jin was pregnant, the empress dowager would not stay in the palace anymore, because King Rui told Chu Xiuming and others to lead troops into Beijing. Emperor Cheng first used it to exclaim or threaten King Rui.
Apart from the Queen Mother, the Queen is not a good-looking person. Because the Queen's eyesight is shallow, Emperor Cheng reassured. But sometimes such a lack of vision is the most dangerous. The death of the Queen's eldest son has made the Queen distracted Emperor Cheng. Concubine Lan introduced Concubine Lu and her unborn child in order not only to let the Queen and others help the Queen leave the palace, but also to make the Queen look like a frightened bird. In this way, no one can be sure what the Queen would do.
Moreover, the queen did not disappoint everyone's wishes. In addition, the spy who had been lurking around the queen fanned the flames, it goes without saying what the queen would do. Moreover, the queen was determined to let her son ascend the throne, but did not consider the current situation. If Emperor Cheng dies and the young lord ascends the throne, can she sit firmly on the throne?
"Not only that, the queen has taken action against Emperor Cheng." Chu Xiuyuan withdrew his hand, turned around and looked at Zhao Duan and spoke, "I'm afraid it's about the New Year."
Zhao Duan's face changed. If this is the case, the death of the prince of the King of England is definitely a good thing. Moreover, the queen's youngest son has just turned ten years old, and there are many brothers on it. According to the queen's temperament, I am afraid that these princes will not stay. Chu Xiuyuan will announce his identity at that time... Zhao Duan thought for a moment and said, "When Emperor Cheng dies, let King Rui question the queen and the young emperor in the name of the strange death of Emperor Cheng's son."
Chu Xiuyuan said, "In fact, there is no need to be like this." This will push King Rui to the forefront, thus hiding Chu Xiuyuan. When the matter is done, King Rui will announce Chu Xiuyuan's identity, so that he can ensure that there is no accident.
Zhao Duan smiled and said, "I'll go and discuss with my sister."
Chu Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when my brother comes back."
Zhao Duan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "His highness, have you ever thought about what to do after ascending the throne and becoming emperor?"
Chu Xiuyuan didn't react for a moment and looked at Zhao Duan with some confusion. Zhao Duan said, "It's easy to start with good things and end with good things."
As soon as these words were said, Chu Xiuyuan's face changed drastically, and his eyes looked at Zhao Duan became sharper, and he did not speak. Zhao Duan said that he had considered this before. Even a long time ago, Zhao Duan also mentioned it to his father Zhao Ru, and Zhao Ru was also worried. Zhao Duan continued, "The Chu family is loyal and has a deep relationship with the general, so it is naturally unhindered. But what about? When Tai and Zu were the ancestors, they also trusted the Chu family very much, but now what about Emperor Cheng? Emperor Cheng is because of his suspicious nature, but because the Chu family has been in charge of the Apocalypse military for too long."
Chu Xiuyuan clenched his fists, but he knew in his heart that Zhao Duan was right, "If I ascend the throne, one day of Apocalypse, one day of Chu's power and wealth."
Zhao Duan frowned and looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said seriously, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about it? It's like putting the Chu family in the fire and cooking oil."
Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips. In fact, Chu Xiuming had already said to Chu Xiuyuan, "My brother... he said that if one day I could ascend the throne, he wanted to retire."
As soon as these words were said, Zhao Duan admired Chu Xiuming more and said, "It's my villain's heart."
Chu Xiuyuan sat down a little decadently and said, "It's not because of you, but because my brother doesn't let him talk, for fear that people will be unstable."
Zhao Duan understood Chu Xiuming's concerns. After all, after Chu Xiuming retreated, the military power must be taken over. Who can guarantee that the people below will not be moved? Everyone is convinced? For example, General Lin, General Jin and General Wu have a good relationship. If the border city is handed over to General Lin, General Wu and General Jin will naturally not have any objections, but what about their subordinates? Wouldn't they be upset about General Wu and General Jin?
If people's hearts are floating, they will lose before they even begin.
Zhao Duan also understood why Chu Xiuyuan said what he said just now, and Chu Xiuming greeted Chu Xiuyuan so early, which was also a very clever choice. The relationship between them was very good, and the Chu family made a lot for Chu Xiuyuan. Chu Xiuming chose to let go of military power, which not only deepened Chu Xiuyuan's trust in the Chu family, but also showed the Chu family's attitude. Before Emperor Cheng, the Chu family could always control the military power in the world and was trusted by those in power. It was precisely because the Chu family never participated in these struggles for power and profit, and was loyal to the emperor and protecting the Tianqi.
The Grandpa wanted his crown prince to marry the daughter of the Chu family as his queen, but was rejected by the head of the Chu family at that time, saying that the Chu family would never participate in the royal affairs. It was not until the late emperor that because of the King of Ying, the late emperor had no choice but to secretly write to the Chu family many times. In the end, a daughter of the Chu family married the prince's concubine, and that girl was also a sideline, and even men from that group died on the battlefield. In fact, at that time, the Chu family was about to retreat.
The Chu family guarded the frontier, and there were almost no one who died. They were concerned about the safety of the people, but seeing the Chu family's talents withering and even some of the other families had no successors, Chu Xiuming's grandfather did not want to wait decades before the Chu family's lineage.
No matter what the reason is, the Chu family has participated in the battle for the throne this time. Chu Xiuyuan is naturally relieved of the Chu family, but what about the emperor in the future? Will he feel that if the Chu family is dissatisfied one day and will he be able to come out again? And those ministers.
Chu Xiuming took the Chu family to withdraw this time, which is also a kind of protection for the Chu family.
Zhao Duan didn't know if Chu Xiuyuan had thought of this, but he was not going to mention it, because no matter what, he admired him so calmly when facing the overwhelming power. No wonder his father had such a high evaluation of Chu Xiuming.
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Zhao Duan and said, "It's good that you know this in your heart."
Zhao Duan nodded and suddenly said, "Your Highness feels sorry for the Chu family?"
Chu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but the expression on his face had already explained everything. Zhao Duan said, "It's better to give a title, and the future of Chu Chenbo and Chu Chenhui in the future. The border town is too dangerous."
"Yeah." Chu Xiuyuan also understood this, but he was still a little disappointed. He felt that when he sat in that position, he might lose a lot of things.
Zhao Duan didn't know how to comfort him, but Chu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out, saying, "I understand, you should call me Major General." Chu Xiuyuan didn't like the title of Your Highness.
"Yes, Major General." Zhao Duan said respectfully.
Chu Xiuyuan no longer mentioned this matter. If Zhao Duan hadn't spoken first, Chu Xiuyuan might never have said something, "One day of the Heaven Revelation, the Chu family will be powerful and prosperous one day." This sentence was not Chu Xiuyuan's momentary impulse. He had such a wish when he was very young. He even said to Chu Xiuming that Chu Xiuyuan still remembers what Chu Xiuming said, that was your wish, but I also have my wish. What I want to do is to travel all over the country and see with my own eyes the great mountains and rivers protected by the Chu family for generations.
From that day on, Chu Xiuyuan understood in his heart that the day when he was firmly on the throne was probably the time when Chu Xiuming was about to leave. So sometimes, Chu Xiuyuan didn't know that he was looking forward to revenge and ascending the throne, or just be the major general Chu Xiuyuan in the border city.
In the carriage, Chu Xiuyao had not woken up. When he arrived at a safe town, he specially invited a doctor to come. Only then did he realize that he had been fed the medicine. The dosage was too large. The doctor prescribed some other medicines, saying that it would be a way to relieve the antidote and rest for another day. He had to wait for Chu Xiuyao to wake up before checking.
Chu Xiuming asked someone to send the doctor away. After the guards boiled medicine, he fed Chu Xiuyao himself, so he simply rested in the same room with Chu Xiuyao. Who knew that before the doctor had said that Chu Xiuyao woke up, Chu Xiuyao moved, and Chu Xiuming went to light the lamp and looked at Chu Xiuyao...
Before dawn, Chu Xiuming had sent someone to invite the doctor again. Although Chu Xiuming had thought that Chu Xiuyao would survive, there would be some problems, but looking at this stupid brother, Chu Xiuming felt aching in his heart.
Because the doctor had given the full medical fee, the doctor had no complaints. After carefully examining Chu Xiuyao, he took his pulse and said, "I'm afraid it's a headache, and it's an old injury. If there were some ways at the beginning, I would be really powerless at this time."
Manager Zhao's face changed. He looked at Chu Xiuyao and looked at Chu Xiuming again. Chu Xiuming's face was calm and he spoke, "Thank you, doctor, send the doctor out."
"Yes." Manager Zhao didn't say anything else and personally sent the doctor away.
When he arrived at the door, the doctor hesitated and said, "It's because he is not good at medical skills. If you can find someone with superb medical skills, you will have a glimmer of hope if you use acupuncture."
"Thank you, Doctor." Manager Zhao said.
The doctor shook his head and turned and left. If it were early, prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis might have effect. However, after examination, it was obvious that it was an old injury. Moreover, this person's physical foundation was not good, so he dared not take the medicine seriously...
Chu Xiuyao was sitting on the bed in the room, not making a fuss. Chu Xiuming poured him a cup of warm water and put it in his hand, and he took it and drank it...
