Chapter 333: Deciding to Defend the Frontier
After Chu Zhuangyan finished speaking, he left the hall, and the ministers also left one after another.
"Why doesn't King Yan leave here?" When Chu Ruoyang raised his feet, he saw that Chu Ruoyang was still standing in place, and asked him.
"Whether this king can go or not, it has nothing to do with King Qin." Chu Ruoyan shot back in a cold tone.
When Chu Ruoyang saw his attitude, he knew that he had been hated by Chu Ruoyang, and then he no longer had false feelings.
"Then King Yan should be careful in the future, don't cause any more things about this prince and that prince, and don't make trouble for Mingyue Kingdom." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Chu Ruoyao to answer, and left with hatred.
After Chu Ruoyang returned to his Qin Palace, he was furious, no matter which subordinate came to serve him, he would be scolded by him, and Princess Qin came to Chu Ruoyang's side after hearing about it.
"Lord Wang, why is there so much anger?" As she spoke, she gently patted Chu Ruoyang's back, wanting his anger to gradually calm down.
But Chu Ruoyang was still extremely angry, he had discussed with him when he wrote to Tuoba Lie before, he must not admit it in this matter, and he should not make any loopholes, in this case, the two of them may be able to pull Yan Wangfu down.
But who knew that the problem was with Tuoba Lie's subordinates, and he was caught by Chu Ruoyan in this way, which caused today's situation, and also made the image of Yan Wangfu tall among the ministers.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm going to let the people of Yanwang's Mansion get away with it for a while."
After Princess Qin's comfort, Chu Ruoyang's mood gradually calmed down. This time it can only end here, and then look for an opportunity to deal with Yan Wangfu in the future.
In the palace, Chu Ruoyan was walking out with Li Luobing, and after the matter was resolved, Chu Ruoyan should have been relaxed, but he didn't say a word on the way, and there was no sign of relief.
had already walked outside the palace, Chu Ruoyan suddenly stopped: "You go back first!" I have something to deal with, and I'll go back to Dali Temple when I'm done dealing with these things. ”
"What are you going to do?" Li Luobing asked, what should be solved has just been solved in the court?
Chu Ruoyan frowned: "I always feel that Izumo Province will not give up like this, I want to remind my father and ask him to pay attention to the movements of Izumo Kingdom." ”
Li Luobing nodded and got into the carriage to Dali Temple alone. And Chu Ruoyan looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one, she walked quickly to Chu Zhuangyan's dormitory.
When he was about to arrive at the door, he was seen by the eunuch who often served Chu Zhuangyan.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, why are you here?" Haven't the ministers and princes already gone back? King Yan also left at that time!
"Is Father in there? I have something to tell my father. Chu Ruoyao's tone was eager. Seeing that he was so anxious, the eunuch quickly nodded.
"The emperor has just rested, he ......" Before the eunuch's words were finished, Chu Ruoyan pushed open the door and walked in.
The eunuch was afraid that Chu Zhuangyan would be disturbed, so he hurriedly followed in in a panic, but saw the emperor's movement of waving his hand at him while getting up, and did not blame Chu Ruoyan in the slightest.
"I'm fine, you go out first! Stay outside and don't let anyone in. ”
Chu Zhuangyan was also surprised by Chu Ruoyan's sudden arrival, but after seeing his expression, he knew that he should have something to tell him, and after the eunuch went out and closed the door, Chu Zhuangyan motioned for Chu Ruoyan to sit down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Erchen for being rude, Erchen has something to tell you this time, so he broke in."
"Say it!" Chu Zhuangyan's expression revealed a trace of exhaustion. He has been exhausted by various things in the past few days, and he doesn't care about resting for a while.
"Erchen feels that although this matter seems to be over, it may not necessarily end behind his back." Chu Ruoyan told Chu Zhuangyan about his suspicions about Tuobalie.
"The people of Izumo Province said that if they don't hand over Princess Yan, they will directly attack Mingyue Country, maybe they have already prepared for an attack, and there are a lot of preparations to be made if the two countries go to war, and Izumo Province can easily say such things, so it is worth being vigilant."
"You're right," Chu Zhuangyan replied after thinking about it, "but now the people of Izumo Country are still in the territory of our Mingyue Country, and it is still in the form of a visit, so it is unlikely that a war will start in the short term." ”
"However, we must also be prepared against Izumo Province, even if it is not on the surface, we should be prepared secretly."
Chu Zhuangyan glanced at Chu Ruoyan: "I have already prepared, in order to prevent the people of Izumo Kingdom from retaliating, I have already let Princess Yan enter the palace."
When Chu Zhuangyan just said this, Chu Ruoyan hadn't reacted yet. What enters the palace? Li Luobing was still with him just now, and the two had just separated!
"If you don't come here at this time, you should know about it, but now that you're here, I'll tell you. I knew that Izumo Province would not be so resigned, so Princess Yan had to be in the palace during this time. ”
"Must be in the palace?" Chu Ruoyan repeated in surprise. What does it mean to be in the palace, this is obviously putting Li Luobing under house arrest.
Not only did he not expect it, but Li Luobing also did not expect it. Not long after she got into the carriage, she was stopped by someone in front of her, saying that the emperor had something to do. Li Luobing saw that the father-in-law who stopped her was indeed the person next to Chu Zhuangyan, and left with him without too much suspicion.
As a result, after entering the palace, she found that she was not going to the imperial study at all, and she became vigilant.
"Father-in-law, where are we going?"
"Princess Yan doesn't need to be nervous, the slave brought you here on the order of the emperor, you go in first!" The father-in-law stopped in front of a room, pushed open the door and motioned for Li Luobing to walk in.
has reached this point, Li Luobing can only temporarily obey the order, after entering the inside, she found that the environment inside is not bad, and there are two palace maids, and her father-in-law handed her a piece of paper after she sat at the table.
"This is the holy handwritten edict, Princess Yan will understand after reading it, and the slave will retire first." The father-in-law bowed down and left the room, and the two palace maids just now didn't speak, and left without saying a word.
Li Luobing calmed down, opened the letter and looked at it, only to find that Chu Zhuangyan was cunning and cunning after reading it.
He said that it was for his own safety, but later said that Chu Ruoya would definitely come to let her out, and it seemed that he was using himself to make Chu Ruoya agree to any conditions. She knew very well in her heart that no matter what the conditions were, Chu Ruoyan would definitely agree, and she should not stay here for long.
After thinking about all this, she was much more relaxed. It's okay to be in the palace like this, at least you don't have to worry about what Tuoba Lie will do to her.
In Chu Zhuangyan's bedroom, Chu Ruoyan was still talking to him.
"When can Luo Bing leave?" Chu Ruoyao suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
"The people of Izumo Country have left the land of our Mingyue Country, so Princess Yan will naturally be safe."
"Why Luo Bing and not me?" Chu Ruoyao asked.
"You're the King of Yan, and even if the people of Izumo Kingdom want to do something to you, at least it depends on my face. But Princess Yan is different, she is a woman, even if the people of Izumo Country do something out of the ordinary, no one will blame it, as long as Mingyue Country is not attacked. ”
Although Chu Zhuangyan's words were direct, they were indeed the same thing. In case someone from Izumo Kingdom came directly to Dali Temple to ask for someone, whether he could protect Li Luobing was still an uncertain factor.
"If you want her not to stay in the palace, there is another way." Chu Zhuangyan said after seeing Chu Ruoyan's expression.
Is there another way? Hearing this, Chu Ruoyao's eyes lit up.
"Now the Izumo Kingdom and the Bright Moon Country are still harmonious, at least on the surface, and there can be no conflict, but there are still many crises in the entire Bright Moon Country, such as the Northern Frontier Country, which has been coveting the territory of the Bright Moon Country."
Chu Zhuangyan's words came to this, and Chu Ruoyan also understood what he meant, didn't he just use Li Luobing as a handle? Even if Chu Zhuangyan didn't do this, he would definitely go.
"Father, the sons are willing to go to the frontier to defend the territory of the Mingyue Kingdom, but the sons want to go with Luo Bing." Chu Ruoyao knelt on the ground and said firmly.
If you go to the frontier by yourself, you must not put Li Luobing alone in the capital, there are so many dangers in the capital, only by her side will Chu Ruoyan rest assured.
Chu Zhuangyan looked at Chu Ruoyan and didn't speak for a long time, he originally wanted to test him, but he really agreed to go to the border to guard the frontier, in fact, Chu Zhuangyan has been worrying about this matter during this time.
The position of the crown prince is vacant until now, and the open and secret battles between several princes are continuous, and at this point in time, the frontier is often harassed, and a competent person is needed to go.
At the beginning, the most suitable candidate in Chu Zhuangyan's heart was King Qin, but after secretly understanding, he found that Chu Ruoyang's mind was not in the frontier at all, and if he was sent over at this time, it would not be of any use.
At this time, Li Luobing's incident happened, and the suitable candidate in Chu Zhuangyan's heart was transferred.
"Why do you have to go with you? The frontier is far away, and if you go, you should suffer a lot, and you will have to be distracted to protect her at that time, have you thought about all this? Chu Zhuangyan deliberately asked Chu Ruoyan.
"Father, Luo Bing knows how to heal, and following her son's side will not be a drag, but only a help." Chu Ruoyan felt very displeased with his fake question, but his face was still respectful.
"Okay, I promised you that I would let Li Luobing go with you, but she must stay in the palace during this time, and she will not be able to leave with you until everything is taken care of."
Although Chu Zhuangyan's words made Chu Ruoyan a little dissatisfied, he knew that this was already the best result, he bowed to Chu Zhuangyan and returned to Dali Temple alone, after entering Dali Temple, Guo Dong found that he was the only one who came back, so he asked him where Li Luobing was.
