Chapter 184: Passive is better than active

Soaking in the bathtub, Xiao Ruoxi's mind was still echoing the words of Song Ma's words when she left.

There is going to be a war, and it will be us ordinary people who will suffer the most!

Oh, yes! Since she has come to this era of the supremacy of imperial power and entered the royal family, she will inevitably see the scene of imperial power struggle and smoke everywhere.

Throughout the ages, as long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices, if the two armies are at war, the most suffered, the most sacrificed are the common people, what is a mere prime minister's mansion?

Like his father, a high-ranking and powerful old minister of the former dynasty, when the new emperor ascended the throne and held the government, if his father could not assist Chu Xiuran wholeheartedly, but had other two hearts, then sooner or later he would be dismissed and investigated by Chu Xiuran in other names.

Suddenly figured this out, Xiao Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, why didn't she think of these political issues in the first place?

At the beginning, she only relied on a momentary impulse, in order to save Chu Xiuhan, she rashly ran to beg her father to advise Chu Xiuhan in front of Chu Xiuran to let Chu Xiuhan send troops to resist South Vietnam.

At that time, she only thought that her father went to Chu Xiuran to say these words, no matter what aspect she looked at, it was for the sake of the country and the people.

But she forgot that since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious by nature, and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

She asked her father to go to Chu Xiuran to admonish, this behavior alone was enough to arouse Chu Xiuran's suspicion, plus the letter she wrote to General Qi later, I don't know how it fell into Chu Xiuran's hands.

With that letter as evidence, Chu Xiuran strengthened Chu Xiuhan's rebellious heart, and his father's previous performances showed signs of standing on Chu Xiuhan's side.

Therefore, in order to prevent future troubles, Chu Xiuran executed his father without hesitation, and then sent troops to attack Chu Xiuhan.

Therefore, Chu Xiuhan really rebelled, and he was forced to do so.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ruoxi felt that the culprit of all this was actually herself.

If she hadn't written the letter to General Qi in the first place, none of this would have happened.

But in the final analysis, she told Su Ye to inform General Qi that after reading the letter, she must remember to destroy it, how did that letter end up in Chu Xiuran's hands?

She felt that this was a key matter, and she had to figure it out.

After taking a bath, Xiao Ruoxi took a set of clean clothes and changed into them, and then sat on the edge of the bed and waited.

Looking at the sky outside, it was almost time now, and she didn't believe that Chu Xiuhan would not return to the camp tonight.

However, Xiao Ruoxi waited for an hour, and he didn't see Chu Xiuhan's shadow.

Xiao Ruoxi yawned, she really couldn't stand it.

Looks like he's not coming back tonight!

Xiao Ruoxi thought so in her heart, then got up and went to put out the lights, then went back to bed, and lay down to sleep.

After a few moments, his breathing began to calm down, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.

At this time, I saw a black shadow flashing in the camp tent, and immediately, a figure stood in front of Xiao Ruoxi's bed.

Chu Xiuhan looked at Xiao Ruoxi, who was already asleep on the bed, sighed silently, stretched out his hand, clicked her sleeping hole, and then took off his coat, lay down beside her, and tightly encircled her into his arms.

In fact, he had already returned at the time of the day, but he had been guarding outside the tent and did not dare to come in.

He thought of the way she persistently asked him to leave his book last night, and his heart was so uncomfortable that he was pinched together.

He was really scared, afraid that if he appeared in front of her while she was sober, she would ask him to leave his book.

How could he possibly give her a divorce book, he once said that he would give her a divorce book just for the sake of her safety.

His father died, Chu Xiuran ascended the throne, he and Chu Xiuran have always been two people who are-for-tat, he knows very well that Chu Xiuran's accession to the throne this time will sooner or later attack him.

The contest between him and Chu Xiuran will come out sooner or later.

Since it is going to happen sooner or later, it is better to let it happen sooner, and instead of being passively restrained, he should take the initiative to attack.

That's why he sneaked into Cining Palace late at night and assassinated the Empress Dowager Lin as a start.

He deliberately released the news of the assassination of the Lin family for Chu Xiuran to know, and immediately, Chu Xiuran brought those palace guards to arrest him.

Seriously, with his force, those so-called palace guards are not his opponents at all, and it will be effortless for him to kill them.

But he had his own plan, and he put it to death.

Therefore, he deliberately lost the battle and was imprisoned in the heavenly prison by Chu Xiuran.

The Lin family died, and Chu Xiuran had to hold a funeral for the Lin family first, so he knew very well that Chu Xiuran would never execute him so quickly.

He had plenty of time to arrange it all.

He had planned everything a long time ago.

Long before he entered the palace to assassinate the Lin family, he wrote the Hugh book and handed it to Limo, instructing him to give her the Hugh book once he fell into the prison.

At the same time, he also arranged for Limo to go to the border pass, informed General Qi of his plan, and asked General Qi to deliberately let the South Vietnamese attack the city.

Looking at the entire government and the opposition, except for him, no one could resist the attack of South Vietnam, and he firmly believed that under the pressure of South Vietnam, Chu Xiuran would definitely be in chaos.

It was only a matter of time before he was released from the prison to defend against South Vietnam, and as long as he got out of the prison and went to the border pass, everything would have to be decided by him.

It's just that he calculated everything, but he didn't calculate it...... She didn't take his letter of resignation.

Not only did he not accept the letter of resignation, but even in order to save him, he stupidly ran to beg his father and involved his father in this matter.

He still remembers that before he set out on the expedition, she told him that the Prime Minister's Mansion had made a petition for him, and he would not rebel with the lives of the whole government as a guarantee.

His heart ached when he looked at the obvious worry in his eyes, so, for the sake of her, he had no choice but to slow down his plans.

When he arrived at the border, he rose up to kill the enemy, forced South Vietnam to retreat step by step, and transmitted the good news to Kyoto, not for anything else, but for her peace of mind in Kyoto.

Although he fought to kill the enemy at the border pass and showed his loyalty to Chu Xiuran, so that it was safe for her to stay in Kyoto, Chu Xiuran would not trouble her.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that Chu Xiuran would not let him go, and he understood it from the time he only gave him 2,000 soldiers to fight against the 100,000 soldiers of South Vietnam.

Chu Xiuran couldn't let him die at his hands, so he had to let him die on the battlefield.

Between him and Chu Xiuran, sooner or later there will be a frontal bloody battle.

He was not afraid to confront Chu Xiuran head-on, but he was afraid that Chu Xiuran would hurt her.

Therefore, he acted cautiously in everything at the border pass, for fear that Chu Xiuran would use him as an excuse to make things difficult for her, he was far away at the border pass, and he couldn't protect her by her side all the time.
