Chapter 719: You Are the Princess of Chu Kingdom
August 17.
Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of the prince of Chu, and at this time, Lu Chen and his party also arrived in the capital of Chu.
The person in charge of the reception was the prime minister of Chu State, after seeing Lu Chen, he first bowed down, gave a deep salute, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Wind King is tired of traveling and driving, please go to the post house to rest for the time being." ”
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded and said, "There is Lao Chuxiang." ”
"Where, where, Your Highness, please." Chu Xiang let go of his body and stretched out his hand and said.
The post house in Chudu is equivalent to a state-guest hotel, and its conditions naturally need not be said, and after welcoming Lu Chen and his party into the post house, this place was also heavily guarded, and then, Chu Xiang said to Princess Shaoyang: "The princess stays." ”
Now that Shaoyang has arrived in the Chu State, the Chu official naturally calls her a princess, and when the latter heard this, he first glanced at Lu Chen, then turned around and asked, "What is the matter with the prime minister?" ”
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that you can enter the palace." Chu Xiang said.
"Now?" Princess Shaoyang frowned slightly.
"Yes." Chu Xiangdao.
Princess Shaoyang thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, you tell Youlin, I'll go later." ”
"In this case, I will retire first." Chu Xiang gave a salute and left.
And the palace of the king of Chu, to put it bluntly, is the maiden home of Princess Shaoyang, she is going to enter the palace now, Lu Chen naturally won't say anything, so he went with her.
After he left, Lu Chen was dressed in civilian clothes and took Xue Ling and King Jing to start walking around the Chu capital.
The capital of Chu State, this is also the first time Lu Chen has been here, its prosperity, to be honest, is more prosperous than Fengzhou, because Chu is rich, and there are many more rich people here than Fengzhou.
On the other side, the temple of the Chu royal family.
In the main hall, the ancestors of the Chu State were all offered above, and after Princess Shaoyang took the incense seriously, she also knelt down and said to the prince of Chu on the side: "Youlin, kneel!" ”
"Yes." After all, Princess Shaoyang was his aunt, Prince Chu hurriedly responded, then knelt on the ground, and said to the spiritual seat above: "Father, my aunt has come to see you." ”
"Brother Wang......" At this time, in the face of the spiritual position of the old King Chu, Princess Shaoyang couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and all kinds of past events came to mind.
As the so-called eldest brother is like a father, back then, when Princess Shaoyang was only a few years old, her father had passed away, she was also the youngest princess of Chu at that time, relatively, she was also raised by the old King of Chu, and the old King of Chu loved her youngest sister even more, and let her mess around in the palace......
The brother-sister relationship between the old King Chu and Princess Shaoyang is beyond doubt, when she got married, as the monarch, the old King of Chu even sent her to the border between the two countries, and she was still standing there, waving her hand, reluctant to leave for a long time......
At this time, the love and protection of her father and brother, all kinds of past events surfaced, and Princess Shaoyang couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help but shed tears and began to sob.
Seeing this, Prince Chu next to him hurriedly comforted: "Auntie mourns." ”
Hearing this, Shao Yang wiped his tears, looked at Prince Chu and said, "Youlin, have you dealt with the gang of traitors who murdered Brother Wang?" ”
"Auntie, rest assured, my nephew has swept away the traitors and comforted my father's spirit in the sky." Prince Chu hurriedly said, of course, he didn't dare to mention the Jade Concubine to Princess Shaoyang.
"Yes." Princess Shaoyang nodded, and then said: "Tomorrow, you will inherit the throne, and in the future, the Chu State will rely on you. ”
"Remember, nephew." Prince Chu returned, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Princess Shaoyang again and said, "It's just aunt, there is something, my nephew still needs your help." ”
"Huh? What's the matter? Princess Shaoyang asked.
"This ......" Prince Chu hesitated for a moment, and then went straight to the point: "Now that the civil strife in Chu has been calmed, the King of the Wind is still stationed in Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, and he has no intention of withdrawing his troops at all. And aunt, you should also know that Hanyang is the hub of my Chu country, and Sanjiangkou is the top priority! Without these two places, the territory of Chu is not only incomplete, but also the throat is choked, and it will always be controlled by others, nephew, nephew, who is the throne of Chu, and he will have no shame to face the ministers of Chu and the people in the country......"
"What do you mean......" Princess Shaoyang asked.
"If the nephew asks the Wind King to withdraw his troops, the Wind King will definitely ignore it, so the nephew wants to ask his aunt to raise this matter with the Wind King." Prince Chu said directly.
Princess Shaoyang said: "Now Hanyang and Sanjiangkou, aren't the officials of the two places still Chu officials?" And the grain taxes in the two places should also be managed by the Chu State, right? ”
Hearing this, Prince Chu became anxious and said, "Oh, aunt! On the surface, Hanyang and Sanjiangkou still belong to the Chu State, but the Fengwang is stationed in two places, and the army may enter the city at any time, doesn't my aunt even understand this truth? Moreover, only if the aunt speaks to the Wind King, it is possible for him to return the two places. ”
"But ......" Of course Princess Shaoyang understood, but she knew in her heart that this favor was not easy to help.
Seeing this, Prince Chu hurriedly said again: "Auntie! You are the princess of my Chu country! ”
Seeing him mention this, Princess Shaoyang had no choice but to say: "Youlin, such a big thing, I can't help with a word, you don't know his temper, if I look for him in this matter, he will definitely be furious." ”
When she said him, she naturally referred to Lu Chen.
When the prince of Chu heard this, he no longer insisted on it, but directly faced the spiritual throne of the first kings of the dynasties, and after kowtowing, he also said sadly: "Ancestor! Open your eyes and see! After her aunt married into the Wind Country, the Chu State suffered this danger, and she ignored it completely! Father, look at it."
Ah! Hearing that he began to do this, Princess Shaoyang was suddenly confused, and she immediately said urgently: "Youlin, you stop!" ”
"Father, look at your aunt! She is the princess of my Chu country" How can the prince of Chu stop, this is what he wants!
Moreover, you must know that this is where the ancestral hall of the Chu royal family is located, and the offerings on it are all the first kings of the Liedai, to put it bluntly, that is, Princess Shaoyang's father, grandfather, and grandfather......
At that time, people paid attention to morality and etiquette, especially in the face of the ancestral spiritual position, the prince of Chu cried so much, and always emphasized that she was the princess of Chu, and no matter how good Princess Shaoyang was, she couldn't refuse him.
In such a situation, she could only say again and again: "Don't talk about it!" Shut up! Shut up! I promise you, I promise you that you can't do it! ”
"Huh? The nephew thanked his aunt for the state of Chu" When the prince of Chu heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to Princess Shaoyang.
"You!" Seeing that he immediately changed his attitude, Princess Shaoyang was extremely angry, but she had no way to take Prince Chu again!
