Chapter 103: Discussion

This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!

Chu Xiuran is now on the throne, why can't he spare Chu Xiuhan's life?

"Dad, isn't there any way to kill the prince?"

Xiao Ruoxi knelt in front of Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, tears raining down.

Prime Minister Xiao looked at Xiao Ruoxi like this, and he was even more distressed, if he knew that it would be the end like today, Chu Xiuhan was such a breathless person, then even if he was desperate at the beginning, he would not agree to the first emperor to give his daughter to Chu Xiuhan.

"Ruoxi, you get up first, the matter is not yet to the end, there will always be a way."

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng comforted Xiao Ruoxi while helping her up from the ground.

"When I go to court tomorrow, I will beg the emperor again to see if the emperor can be extraordinarily gracious, after all, the emperor and His Royal Highness King Han are also brothers."

"Thank you, father."

Xiao Ruoxi stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she knew that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was just comforting her by saying these words.

How could a person who is in the emperor's house and doesn't even care about the love of father and son think of brotherhood.

Chu Xiuran was intent on letting Chu Xiuhan die.

"Daddy, I heard that since the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation has been unstable, and the barbarians on the South Vietnamese side are a little ready to move."

Xiao Ruoxi couldn't make it too clear to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng that Chu Xiuhan wanted to cooperate with the enemy to protect himself, but she could express it in another way.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the dynasty was turbulent, and then Nanyue has been suppressed by my Great Chu, they already have resentment in their hearts, taking advantage of the sudden death of the first emperor this time, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Prime Minister Xiao nodded and did not deny Xiao Ruoxi's words at all.

"I heard that the soldiers guarding the border between South Vietnam and Chu were once the prince's subordinates? Daddy, do you know? ”

Xiao Ruoxi asked cautiously, she was thinking about how to make Prime Minister Xiao Cheng go to Chu Xiuran without any notice, and let Chu Xiuhan go to guard the border pass.

When Prime Minister Xiao Cheng heard this, he thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"That's true, when His Royal Highness the King of Han was thirteen years old, he personally asked for orders to go to the border pass, and it was the border between Nanyue and Chu at that time, and those soldiers of Nanyue had been defeated by King Han many times, so in recent years, it has been quite peaceful."

Chu Xiuhan fought on the battlefield at the age of thirteen and made countless achievements, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng thought that a man like him should be an iron-blooded man with great ambitions and responsibilities.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the first emperor marrying his youngest daughter to him.

But it's ...... He is such a breathless person, he is the one who has lost his eyes!

"But how do you know that?"

Xiao Chengxiang suddenly thought about it and felt that it was wrong, how could she, a deep boudoir woman, know those things on the battlefield?

A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and sometimes, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

"I learned about it from the prince's personal guard."

Xiao Ruoxi didn't hide it from Prime Minister Xiao Cheng.

Blindly telling lies will definitely not fool people, but what is the most likely lie for people to believe? That is a half-truth, and it is the least likely to arouse suspicion.

"Daddy, the prince is now trapped in the prison, if I don't know anything about the prince's previous affairs, then I'm afraid there is no hope at all to rescue the prince."

"That's ...... too"

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng nodded, looking at Xiao Ruoxi's eyes, he was even more distressed, his daughter, who could have lived a carefree life, now has to bear so many things that she shouldn't have to bear.

"Ruoxi, do you already have a way?"

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng looked at Xiao Ruoxi with a calm look, and did not seem to panic because Chu Xiuhan was going to be punished, such a performance can only show one point, that is, she has a way to save Chu Xiuhan.

"Dad, what do you say the barbarians of South Vietnam will do if they learn that the prince is trapped in the prison?"

Xiao Ruoxi did not directly answer Prime Minister Xiao's words, but asked rhetorically.

"Those barbarians in South Vietnam have been eyeing our Chu State for a long time, and the reason why they have not dared to attack rashly is because our Chu State has His Royal Highness King Han in charge, if they learn the news that His Royal Highness King Han was imprisoned by the emperor, they will definitely take this opportunity and spare no effort to attack our Chu State."

Xiao Chengxiang said directly without thinking about it.

"Then daddy, do you think that now in the government and the opposition, which general has the ability to govern those South Vietnamese barbarians?"

Xiao Ruoxi asked again.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Xiao pondered for a moment and said:

"The soldiers guarding the South Vietnamese side have been on the battlefield with His Royal Highness the King of Han for five years, and they have never obeyed His Royal Highness the King of Han, I am afraid that except for His Royal Highness the King of Han, no one can call them......"

This is also the reason why Chu Xiuran locked up Chu Xiuhan this time, but ordered no one to leak this news, if anyone dares to leak this news, it will be a big crime for the nine clans.

He was afraid that if this news was spread to the border gates, it would cause the dissatisfaction of those soldiers and soldiers, so that they would raise troops to rebel, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Chu Xiuran has just sat on the throne now, and his position is not too stable, in order to stabilize his position, so when facing these soldiers, he has to not kill, but take them step by step.

"So if a war breaks out at the border pass, the emperor can only send the prince to fight."

Xiao Ruoxi looked at Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and said very seriously, but as soon as she said this, Prime Minister Xiao understood what she was going to do even if she was dull?

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, looked at Xiao Ruoxi, and said:

"Ruoxi, do you know that if you really do this, it will be equivalent to confirming the charge of treason against the enemy! When the time comes, once it is found out, it will be a capital crime. ”

Prime Minister Xiao looked at his daughter and disagreed with her approach very much, it was too risky.

His daughter is still so young now, if Chu Xiuhan really can't save it, then with his ability, it will be okay to protect his daughter's life.

When the time comes, he just needs to send his daughter to a place where no one knows, change her face, live again, and start over.

He is now very glad that Xiao Ruoxi did not give birth to an heir for Chu Xiuhan.

Of course, Prime Minister Xiao didn't say these thoughts to Xiao Ruoxi, after all, he was worried that Xiao Ruoxi would disagree after he said it.

If it really comes to the point where he has no power to return to the sky, he will quietly do these things, and even if he uses a strong one, he will have to take her away.

"Dad, don't worry! It's not going to happen, you think! At that time, the barbarians of South Vietnam have attacked the soles of the emperor's feet, how can he have any heart to find out who is the wind and report the letter! It won't be too late for him to send troops to kill the enemy. ”

Xiao Ruoxi didn't know what Prime Minister Xiao was thinking at the moment, and he only cared about himself and kept persuading Prime Minister Xiao Cheng to dispel his concerns.
