I really didn't want to be emperor

The palace of Chu under the curtain of night, like a dormant ancient giant, exudes a stern and domineering atmosphere.

On the promenade, lanterns were hung, and the light was shining brightly.

Old trees swayed and rustled.

this moment.

Inside the Imperial Study Room.

The Emperor Chu sat in front of the Dragon Case, and the five Taoists seated below them were Prime Minister Liu Tong who had been hemipleated, Marshal Chu Tianshu, Marshal Chu Tianshu, Shangshu of the Household Department, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the Marquis of Xueyi.

Summoning five people to come, naturally there are important things to discuss.

Wu Ji died, and Ye Jun's clue was broken.

Emperor Chu learned from Wu Xiao that Wu Ji had been tortured before his death, and he did not intend to pursue Ye Jun.

Wu Ji is Yuwen's remnant, he already knows this.

Now that Ye Jun kicked him the posthouse murder case again, Emperor Chu had to think about it.

"All Aiqing should have heard of the post house murder case. I want to hear your views on this matter."

Everyone below was lost in thought.

A little time.

Liu Tong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the second prince of the Western Wei Dynasty died in the post house. This matter is very unfavorable to Nan Chu."

Emperor Chu said: "The prime minister means..."

Liu Tong said again: "Your Majesty, even if Yue Fei is handed over to the Western Wei Dynasty, can it really calm the anger of Emperor Wei? The war between the Western Wei Dynasty and the Xia State has never been interrupted, and the two countries have long since reached the point where water and fire are incompatible."

"It is true that Yue Fei was a murderer, but the person died in the post. I have the responsibility of ineffective protection in Southern Chu. If Wei Huang came to commit an army for this, he would be considered famous."

"In addition, Yue Fei has a special status. He is the commander of the North March of Xia Guozhen. He is highly regarded by Emperor Xia. If he is handed over to the Western Wei Dynasty, the relationship between Southern Chu and Xia has reached a freezing point."

"In the ignorance of the minister, between the Western Wei Dynasty and Xia State, your Majesty can only choose one. The party who does not choose must deploy as soon as possible to prevent the other party from attacking Wu Chu."

Emperor Chu looked at Liu Tong, "Then the prime minister thinks who should choose between the Western Wei Dynasty and Xia State?"

Liu Tongdao: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that choosing the Western Wei Dynasty is good for my Chu."

Chu Huang's expression was indifferent, as if he knew that Liu Tong would choose the Western Wei Dynasty, "What is the explanation for the prime minister's words?"

Liu Tong said: "Your Majesty, in the past ten years, the Xia Kingdom has been the slowest development, whether it is economic or military, it has gradually fallen behind. Moreover, the Yongwang rebellion in the country, thieves are proliferating, and the three borders of the east and the west have been fighting for years. Xia Guo's strength plummeted."

"Since last year, Xiaoyao King Ye Jun has emerged, giving Xia Guo the method of fine salt extraction. Emperor Xia wants to use the sale of fine salt to quickly improve Xia Guo's economy, but the consumption of ten years is just one year. Can it be restored?"

"Nowadays, Xinyue and Fusang have joined forces to attack the eastern border of Xia State. I believe that the Barbarian Emperor will not miss this opportunity. If his Majesty chooses the Western Wei Dynasty, then all nations will point to Xia State."

Hear the sound.

Emperor Chu thought for a moment, then looked at the other four people, "What do you think of Aiqing?"

The four one after another echoed and supported Liu Tong's decision.

Chu Tianshu said: "Your Majesty, if you choose the Western Wei Dynasty, then in the next battle against Xia, Wu Chu will not have to send troops at all. The soldiers and horses of the countries will be enough to split the Xia country, while Wu Chu only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In the end it will be reaped."

"Nangong Aiqing, do you think so too?" Chu Huang looked at Nangong Xiao and slowly said.

Nangong Xiao said: "Your Majesty, if you really choose the Western Wei Dynasty, the Weichen thinks that we should take down both Prince Xia and Xiaoyao, so that we can show our sincerity."

The voice fell.

He glanced sideways at Liu Tong, and the two seemed to be tacitly aware.

The Emperor Chu did not expect that all five of them would choose to make friends with the Western Wei Dynasty, but he did not know that he favored Xia Guo more in his heart.

Even if Xinyue and Fusang are joining forces at the moment, he does not feel that Xia Guoguo has died in this war.

Xia Guo has stood for more than a hundred years and has not fallen, inheriting the three dynasties, and has experienced many winds and waves.

How could it capsize in the gutter in front of you.

Besides, with the existence of Ye Jun, this son is so wise and close to the demon, Xia Guo cannot easily perish.

In all fairness, he wants to kill Ye Jun, but if it is from the strategic cooperation between countries, he is more inclined to Xia Guo.

Huang Lie of the Western Wei Dynasty, a careerist who was full of life and friendship, was undoubtedly seeking skin with tigers.

In fact, Emperor Chu knew very well that at present, no matter which country to establish good relations with, it is only a stopgap measure.

In the future, the State of Chu is bound to join the ranks of the heroes.

A moment of contemplation.

The Emperor Chu said: "I understand what the Aiqing said, and it is tentatively designated as the Western Wei Dynasty, but during this time, do not touch Prince Xia and King Xiaoyao. We will continue to discuss the martial arts conference tomorrow afternoon. After the matter ends, we will discuss whether to They shot."

Everyone slowly got up and said with fists and salute: "The ministers understand!"

..........

early morning.

On the Wilderness Official Road.

There are few figures, and the spring breeze blows by, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At this time.

A figure appeared on the official road, with two people bound behind it, it was Cang Mu and Gui E.

Wei Zhuang's white hair was shoulder-to-shoulder, and his expressionless complexion, pulling the two of them to move on, walking towards Riyue City.

Two hours later.

Inside the post house.

Ye Jun received the news and learned that Wei Zhuang had returned.

He glanced at Lu Xianyong in front of him, "Thank you, senior, for the message, this king has something to deal with, please go back first."

Lu Xianyong said quietly: "Master, don't forget the promise."

Ye Jundao: "Don't worry, seniors, with a word from a gentleman, it's hard to chase a horse."

"The old man is leaving now!"

After Lu Xianyong left, under the leadership of Lin Zhan, Ye Jun walked towards the front yard.

this moment.

The prince, Chen Nian, Zhao Yun, and Li Tianming were already in the front yard, and their eyes fell on Wei Zhuang with an unbelievable look.

I can't believe that, after Wei Zhuang left for a day, he caught the assassin.

Suddenly seeing Ye Jun's figure appear, Wei Zhuang turned around and said, "Master, these two are the beasts who assassinated and killed the second prince of the Western Wei Dynasty."

Ye Jun glanced at Cang Mu, his face changed slightly. He analyzed the strength of the assailant, and the opponent was at least a great master. Was it so easy to be caught by Wei Zhuang?

Wei Zhuang looked respectful and said: "The prince, it is he who pretended to be me, sneaked into the palace to assassinate, and he barely reached the realm of grandmaster."

"As for this person, his light work is first-rate, and he is a sword repairman, that is, he stole Juque and killed Lieyan in the shortest time. He is a half-strength master. Because of his light work, he is better than a general master. To be great."

Hearing Wei Zhuang's introduction, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe that the two people who were bound in front of them were so strong.

The real strength of Wei Zhuang is...

Ye Jundao: "Xiao Zhuang, people are arrested, but they want to die without admitting, what should I do!"

Wei Zhuang said: "Don't worry, Lord, give me an hour and they will definitely confess their sins."

Seeing Wei Zhuang leading the two away, the prince hurriedly stepped forward, "Lao San, Grandmaster, are you calling Xiao Zhuang?"

Ye Jundao: "Brother Emperor, what's wrong?"

The prince said: "It's okay, how does Gu feel that Wei Zhuang doesn't seem to care about anyone except you?"

Ye Jun nodded, "He's like this, he's so emotional, he used to be the leader of the killer organization, a cold and decisive person."

"It's too emotional, not to be offended, not to be offended..."
