Chapter 609: Sending troops to the rescue
Let him basically participate in political affairs too much, but he can't leave, that is, he has such an identity as a prince, but he is like a proton without the slightest freedom.
Even the old King of Chu, who led his troops to travel, obviously had enough strength to repel the invasion of the barbarian tribe with an army of 100,000 in his hands.
In the end, because of the pedantic thoughts of the Eastern Emperor and the timely panic in his heart, he chose to hold on and not attack them.
But even if the old Chu King here did not attack these barbarian people, it definitely did not mean that those barbarian tribesmen, after knowing that the Eastern Emperor intended to have friendly relations with them.
will really give up just then, but it is more likely that because the old king of Chu will no longer carry out any attacks on them, they will think that this Tanglin country has no available talents.
Even their attack did not dare to carry out any blocking and counterattack, and it would only intensify when the time came, and the fact was indeed just like what the fourth princess herself guessed.
When the envoy came back, the fourth princess had already heard the envoy and went to the border to negotiate with the barbarians.
Not only was he made him surrender in such an extremely rude way by the other party, but even after he came back, he was asked to use these methods to carry out other more begging benefits at a time.
If this situation changes, it will be enough to make the hearts of the four princesses here more clear.
I'm afraid that after experiencing these things, most of the barbarians over there are dissatisfied in their hearts, after asking for more and many benefits.
The Eastern Emperor may also send her over to the Harmony in the name of the Affinity, and then send the gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of things promised to the Barbarian King in the form and name of the Harmony Dowry.
The fourth princess has lived in the palace for so long, even in her cognition, her father is not such a timid and cowardly person.
But after experiencing the previous events, she also knew that her father had completely changed, and was no longer the same as he was at the beginning.
So in addition to this situation, if you really say it like this, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.
It is precisely because of this that she understands in her heart that even if the Barbarian King did not directly ask her to go to make peace this time, in the following time, he will definitely let the Eastern Emperor send her directly over.
The fourth princess, who was already extremely painful in her heart, when she heard that the envoy had returned, proposed that the barbarian king over there not only needed her to go to make peace, but even asked the Eastern Emperor for too much gold, silver and jewelry.
Even after including the land and more beauties, it was already invisibly predicted, and I waited until I really went over and experienced it myself, and all the things I had experienced.
Even in this moment, the fourth princess was even more envious of the second prince when she recalled it, and she was even more envious of the person who could be happy with her, fleeing from the eastern neighboring country and living the life she wanted.
Even if she marries an ordinary person, she is not willing to go to the barbarian tribe thousands of miles away and marry a barbarian king.
Not to mention that this person is tyrannical, even in the situation she knows now, it can be seen that this person is not only greedy for lust, but also extremely ambitious.
Even if she goes over to make peace this time, after she uses up the gold, silver, treasures and land given by the Eastern Emperor this time, when the people of the entire barbarian clan use up this, I am afraid that she will ask for more things again because of her ambition.
I have to say that, to a certain extent, what the fourth princess looks at is really to a certain extent, far more clear and understandable than the Eastern Emperor himself.
At least the fourth princess, as a person in this group, can see that the old king of Chu will not be allowed this time, and then continue to attack him, so that these barbarian tribesmen can withdraw from the entire Tanglin Kingdom.
And if they stop harassing the border, these people will not be able to back down except for an inch.
Even this time, even if she was sent to the past and kissed, and given away in the name of a dowry, most of the things that those barbarian kings wanted would not take a few years of effort.
These wild people will come back, and in the same way, they will ask the Eastern Emperor for these gold, silver, jewelry, land, and beauties again, and it is more likely that they will ask for everything more than this time, even several times and dozens of times.
But no matter how clearly she sees it with the fourth princess, she also knows this kind of thing in her heart.
But beyond these circumstances, there is very little he can do, and it is not a one-time move that can be achieved so easily.
It is precisely because of this reason that the four princesses who saw this side mainly became the palace maid in front of them, and mentioned what the envoy said when he came back this time.
It was literally revealed, with an extremely bleak smile: "It's just that this princess also guessed that her father and emperor were determined to send me out and kiss me this time, that is, they didn't plan to ask me for such a trophy, but of course there would not be a shortage of me such a trophy." ”
The palace maid who passed the word to him really didn't understand this decision of the Eastern Emperor.
She didn't understand, it was clear that the old King of Chu in front of her had already knocked these people out of the border, so that they could no longer enter the border city of Tanglin Kingdom, and they were only enough to wait outside, waiting for the opportunity to act.
But it was this method used by the Eastern Emperor to make the other party more arrogant, and when he had already withdrawn, he started to attack again, and this time the way of attacking was more violent, as if he had calculated the old King Chu and did not dare to really do anything to them.
But in fact, it is.
After the old Chu King got the instructions of the Eastern Emperor to prepare for a marriage with the other party, how could he continue to attack the barbarian king and the entire barbarian clan like that, because of this two-thing thing?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to proving on the surface that he didn't listen to the Eastern Emperor?
Even if he has directly betrayed the Eastern Emperor, it can be confirmed, the old King of Chu has the intention of seeking a dynasty to usurp the throne, I am afraid that the old King of Chu has not completely repelled the barbarian people.
I didn't hear that the Eastern Emperor, who was still in the capital, quickly sent people over, directly caught the old king, brought people back to the capital, and finally used crimes such as seeking power and usurping the throne to define it in the name of the thief party.
If he is directly wiped out, he will definitely implicate the King of Chu at that time, that is, Chu Xuanming, and possibly even the entire Chu Palace, because of such a thing, so that the Nine Clans will be completely destroyed.
It was in this situation that he saw the four princesses here, and after thinking about this, he chuckled again with self-mockery.
The palace maid over there, after seeing the self-deprecating smile of the fourth princess, her eyes were full of distress: "The fourth princess ......"
But in this palace maid, for the fourth princess who grew up since childhood, no matter how much she feels sorry for her, she is just a palace maid status, and the fourth princess is not comparable.
It is impossible to say what useful words are, and words of exhortation and words of comfort have no other effect than her status.
Even if you can't, you can't make the current situation better, and you can't let the four princesses not go to that wild place to make peace.
But in fact, it is precisely because of this reason that I saw the palace maid here, after hearing the words of the fourth princess just now.
I subconsciously wanted to persuade some words to comfort him, but I found that I was just a palace maid, and there was no way to say it, what a useful word, I couldn't let the Eastern Emperor prohibit this kind of thought.
didn't persuade her too much, and in the end, after the palace maid muttered a sentence to the fourth princess, she could only look at the fourth princess with pity and helplessness in her eyes: "Fourth princess...... If you really have to go, please take the slaves and maids with you to the wild land. ”
The fourth princess, who lowered her brows and didn't know what she was thinking, was stunned for a moment after hearing what the palace maid in front of her said.
Then he shook his head helplessly, and looked at the palace maid in front of him with a wry smile on his face.
"Caiyun, why are you bothering this time? That wild place is not a place where ordinary people can stay, but when the time comes, I will leave you in the palace, or transfer you to the palace of the concubine. You can continue to survive in this palace, and the concubine will not be harsh with you, but it is much better than going to that wild place with me. ”
However, this palace maid, who was called Caiyun, shook her head decisively, and then moved closer to the direction where the fourth princess was.
With sincere and earnest eyes, he said again: "The slave maid has grown up with the four princesses since she was a child, and now that the four princesses are going to get married, even if it is a wild place, the slave and maid will definitely go thousands of miles together, and I hope that the four princesses can be fulfilled." ”
originally wanted to leave this Caiyun in the palace, after all, just like Caiyun herself said, she did grow up with Caiyun.
Therefore, her feelings for Caiyun are deeper than those of other palace maids, and even if she knows in her heart that Caiyun is just a palace maid.
And the identity of the palace maid, for other dignitaries and nobles, is just a cheap life.
But she didn't really regard Caiyun as a palace maid with a cheap life, but regarded her as her sister.
