Chapter 279
Duan Chen went to the palace early in the morning to face the saint. Chu Yuan, as a famous general of the Chu State and the son of the famous Chu family, had the same status in the court as the prime minister. In addition, he held military power, which made many neighboring countries jealous.And Duan Chen knew that in his previous life, he was exploited by the enemy because of the power in his hands that threatened the royal family. He fell into the enemy's trap and ended up with the slaughter of the Chu family.

The debates in the court are the same as the speeches in the conference room. What the civil and military officials played are all about the rebellion outside the border in recent years.Duan Chen knew that in his previous life, he had made great contributions to rehabilitating the border rebellion and won over many people's hearts, so he began to threaten the royal family, so he gave Prince Yi a chance.But this time, since he, Duan Chen, is here to change, naturally he won't make the mistakes of his previous life again.

Duan Chen stood up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think you have to send troops to vindicate the border rebellion."

The emperor was having a headache about this matter, and when he heard that Chu Yuan had an opinion, he allowed him to continue.Duan Chen continued unhurriedly; "Your Majesty, the border gates are an indispensable part of our Shu Kingdom. The reason why they launched a rebellion is nothing more than dissatisfaction with the current policy."

"General Chu, what do you mean? Are you questioning the emperor?" The prime minister and Chu Yuan have never been on the same side. Hearing what Chu Yuan said, of course he had to find an opportunity to pull his hair out.But Duan Chen just glanced at him, and continued; "I am not questioning the emperor. Although there are some small barbarian tribes outside the border, they are still from the Shu Kingdom. Since they are from the Shu Kingdom, they should enjoy it with us in the capital." Equal treatment, I heard that the small tribes outside the border have been suppressed internally in recent years, and some local officials even took advantage of this to seize land and bully their father-in-law. This will lead to rebellion. Once troops are sent, it will lead to civil war. Once a civil war breaks out, it gives neighboring countries a chance to take advantage of it."

There was a lot of discussion in the court, most of the people agreed with Duan Chen's meaning, but a few people didn't agree.

"Hmph, those barbarian clans are barbaric and domineering, and they dare to behave wildly on our territory. If we follow them, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, in my view, General Chu's method is inappropriate, and I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Duan Chen frowned, these people who claim to be well-versed in poetry and books don't have such indiscriminate right and wrong?Is this trying to cause civil unrest?The emperor hesitated for a while, Duan Chen couldn't wait any longer, and then said: "Your Majesty, the so-called loyal words are harsh to the ears. Although what I said is not a beautiful thing, but I think of the emperor. The emperor represents the entire Shu Kingdom. As the Son of Heaven, Should all the people of the Shu Kingdom be regarded as citizens? There is a saying that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the rebellion at the border is nothing more than trying to arouse the emperor's idea, the emperor should not ignore them."

"General Chu is right. I really don't know what happened at the border this year, and I'm still kept in the dark." After the emperor finished speaking, his face became dark, he picked up the memorial, and said sharply; You are also a minister of a country, why have you only talked about the border rebellion in recent years but not why?"

"The emperor appeases his anger. The humble ministers are only afraid that those barbarian tribes will have a rebellious heart, so that's it."

"Just ask the world, who is willing to let their own country perish? What happened to the small barbarians? They are also from the Shu Kingdom." Duan Chen blocked the words of the kneeling official, and the official's expression changed. Dare to say anything.

Duan Chen sniffed and snorted coldly, as if he had an idea, bowed his forehead and flattered with both hands; "Your majesty, I think the third prince is capable of this matter, and the emperor also knows that the third prince has a heart for the world and is wise, brave and resourceful. Why don't you invite the third prince?" Going to the border to negotiate with the chiefs of the tribe, I hope that with the wisdom and wisdom of the third prince, the rebellion will be put down."

Duan Chen's move of retreating into advance is indeed an effective way, and it stunned everyone in the court in an instant.Duan Chen has great military power in his hands, if he calms down the rebellion this time, it will be like a tiger with wings added.But he recommended the Third Prince. The Third Prince is a member of the royal family, and he is about to be established as the crown prince. He is the future heir of the Shu Kingdom. This means that he is sincere to the royal family.

The emperor is a smart person, so he could see that Chu Yuan was proving his position.Chu Yuan's position is clear, the emperor is happy.

After retreating from the court, Duan Chen hurried out of the palace gate, and happened to see the person walking towards him.

Han Che?Duan Chen paused, but there was nothing familiar about Han Che in front of him except his appearance.

"This one, let me guess, it should be a well-known general, General Chu Yuan Chu?" He walked slowly in a cloud-patterned golden robe, accompanied by several guards and maids, and the guards and maids behind him walked slowly. The costumes of court ladies are not the costumes of Shu.Judging by his attire, this person who looks very similar to Han Che should be a nobleman from a neighboring country, or perhaps an enemy from his previous life.It's really funny to think about it, the enemy of my previous life looks the same as the person I hate, is God teasing him?
"You are Prince Yi?" Duan Chen was just guessing.

"General Chu has good eyesight."

Duan Chen smiled awkwardly, this is really fucking arranged by God, in the previous life, he would be defeated by someone who looks the same as the person he hates.

"Is His Highness Prince Yi okay?"

"Of course it's nothing. It's just that I often heard about General Chu's reputation in Jin State. I'm curious about General Chu. I want to know what kind of person General Chu is." Clearly, is this a provocation?

"Hey, His Royal Highness Prince Yi and General Chu have such leisure time."

A voice from a distance interrupted the gloomy atmosphere between the two of them. When they turned their heads, they saw a carriage driving from outside the palace.

Duan Chen was not surprised at all when he saw the Third Prince getting off the carriage.

"This king suddenly thought of something else, so I won't bother you two." Prince Yi didn't stop, as if he knew the friendship between the third prince and Chu Yuan, so he left.After Prince Yi left, the third prince spoke up; "I heard from Eunuch Meng that you recommended me to go to the border to quell the rebellion in front of the emperor?"

"Yes, I think the third prince is quite capable." Duan Chen nodded.

"You don't have to flatter me. Don't think I'll forgive you for giving me the opportunity. If it wasn't for Wanmei liking you, I would really disdain to owe you this favor." Wen Yao is much better, in comparison, Duan Chen still likes the third prince in front of him.

"No way, I, Chu Yuan, can only rely on you from now on."

"Tch." The Third Prince didn't appreciate it on the surface, but in fact he had already agreed.Duan Chen looked at the back of the carriage entering the palace, thinking that the danger at the beginning has been ruled out, which is considered to have changed the beginning, but he can't guarantee that he will be safe in the future.So he had to hurry up and rule out all possibilities as soon as possible.
