Chapter 312: Father and Son Meet
Chapter 312: Father and Son Meet
"Big brother, father and emperor, he is also here to ......" Chu Ruoyang on the side saw this situation and was about to step forward to say a few words, but Chu Ruoyang interrupted him at once.
"I don't need you to pretend, the way I am now, King Qin must be very happy, right? Do you wish I hadn't gone out all the time, and the crown prince's position would be yours sooner or later? The more Chu Ruoyan spoke, the more excited he became, and his whole eyes turned red.
"Big brother said and laughed, I never thought about these things." Chu Ruoyang naturally wanted to deny such words.
Chu Ruoyan didn't laugh angrily after hearing his words: "Never thought about it? If you say that I think about it, I don't think it's anything, the more you say that you have never been beautiful and have thought about it, the more it shows that your ambition is great. Maybe you were like this when I was the prince. ”
After Chu Ruoyan finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ruoyang's gloomy expression and looked up to the sky and laughed: "King Qin, don't think I don't know, there are your secret guards around my prince's mansion, right?" There's also around that Yanwang Mansion, right? You've been sanctimonious all day long, but in fact those methods are extremely despicable, and ......"
"Shut up, that's enough!" Chu Zhuangyan spoke sharply, interrupting Chu Ruoyan's words.
"Father, why don't you listen to it? There are still many things that Erchen has not said! Chu Ruoyan asked Chu Zhuangyan with a sneer.
"You're crazy, just rest here!" After Chu Zhuangyan finished speaking, he motioned for King Qin to leave with him.
"Am I crazy? Father, don't you want to accept reality? Because Chu Ruoyan was deposed as the crown prince, he became fearless, piercing Chu Zhuangyan's heart sentence after sentence, and putting the things he didn't want to think about the most on the table.
Chu Zhuangyan turned his head after hearing Chu Ruoyan's words: "It seems that you have to stay here for a long time, so you can do it yourself!" After saying that, he and the King of Qin left here.
After the two of them walked out of this palace, it was almost dawn, and Chu Zhuangyan didn't say a word on the way back to the imperial study, although Chu Ruoyang was curious, he didn't dare to ask without permission, so he could only follow him silently all the way to the imperial study.
After entering the room, Chu Zhuangyan sat on the chair, and after a long time, he sighed deeply: "You don't have to take those words of the eldest prince to heart. ”
Chu Ruoyang listened to Chu Zhuangyan's words and nodded obediently, it seems that there is really no position for the crown prince in his father's heart. When the crown prince was deposed before, Chu Zhuangyan still called Chu Ruoyan the prince from time to time, but this time, when I saw it, there was really no place for Chu Ruoyan.
"Father, is the eldest brother going to go on like this forever? The retainers are afraid...... I'm afraid that the eldest brother will go crazy in the end. Chu Ruoyang said hesitantly.
After hearing Chu Ruoyang's words, Chu Zhuangyan was also thinking about this problem, if Chu Ruoyang was allowed to continue like this, something big would happen sooner or later.
"I'll think about what to do with him. It's almost dawn, so go back and rest first! Chu Ruoyang nodded and left the palace and returned to his Qin Palace.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Princess Qin greeted him: "Your Highness, you haven't returned overnight, where have you been?" ”
"My father told me to have some things, go into the house, and talk to you when I go in." Princess Qin nodded and followed Chu Ruoyang to the house.
"I didn't return overnight this time because I saw the eldest prince, my father and me......" Chu Ruoyang briefly told Princess Qin what happened before, and when she heard that Chu Ruoyan had become like that, she couldn't believe it.
"Then what are you going to do with what he said, Your Highness?" Chu Ruoyang also told Princess Qin what Chu Ruoyan said about herself, thinking that these words were said in front of the emperor, Princess Qin was very worried in her heart, she didn't want King Qin to end up with the same fate as Chu Ruoyan.
"Don't worry, just say it, my father still trusts me very much until now, this big prince is not the biggest crisis, that King Yan is." At the mention of Chu Ruoyao, his eyes became much more serious.
When he greeted the envoy this time, Chu Ruoyan was very low-key, and he rarely appeared at the banquet, even if this could attract the attention of Tuoba Lie, he couldn't let people care. It seems that King Yan has nothing worth noting, but he is in charge of Dali Temple, and many things that are not seen have to pass through Dali Temple and through Chu Ruoyao's hands.
If Chu Ruoyan gets in the way, then it will be a lot more troublesome for him to act normally.
At this time, Chu Ruoyan was in Dali Temple, and after returning from the palace yesterday, Li Luobing was so tired that he fell asleep. In addition, the envoys of Izumo Kingdom came to Mingyue Kingdom, and there were many fewer people who came to report to Dali Temple, Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing were idle, and they lived very comfortably in Dali Temple.
"Your Highness," Guo Dong, who inquired about the news, walked in from outside the door, "The people from Izumo Country have already stayed at the inn, and according to the shopkeeper, they will stay for a long time, and I don't know exactly when they will leave Mingyue Country." ”
"Long stay?" Hearing this, Chu Ruoyan frowned, this person from the Izumo Kingdom lived in the Mingyue Country like this, which undoubtedly added a lot of burden to them. However, Chu Zhuangyan could not directly drive them away, so I was afraid that it would cause contradictions between the two countries.
"I see, you go down first!" Chu Ruoyan could only let Guo Dong retreat first.
"What's wrong?" At this time, Li Luobing had already gotten up, and when he came here, he only saw Guo Dong's figure leaving, and Chu Ruoyan had a solemn look on his face.
Hearing Chu Ruoyao say that when the people of the Cloud Kingdom lived in the Mingyue Kingdom for a long time, Li Luobing also felt very troublesome, now it happened to be the most chaotic period in the Mingyue Kingdom, everyone was busy with the matter of promoting the crown prince, and they had no time to take care of them, even if they did something, the imperial court would deal with it separately.
"It seems that the purpose of the people of Izumo Province is not simple, but there is no other way than to spy on them."
"It's only like this, I'm afraid that someone will ask about this matter again when I go to the court."
Chu Ruoyan didn't expect it wrong, for a few days, when he was in the last dynasty, there were ministers who mentioned the matter of Izumo Kingdom, but they were all prevaricated back by Chu Zhuangyan for various reasons, and the people of Izumo Country didn't have any abnormal behavior, and everyone gradually stopped paying attention.
After all, in the eyes of the ministers, a group of envoys from Izumo Province was far inferior to the vacant position of the crown prince. Since Chu Ruoyan has been abolished, according to the rules, a new prince must be established, as for the candidate for this prince, everyone did not say it on the surface, but it has been discussed very enthusiastically in private.
There are so many popular candidates, needless to say, King Qin, as well as Chu Ruoming, the king of Chu who often follows Chu Ruoyang, Chu Ruohua, the king of Wei who followed the prince before, Chu Ruodong, the son of Concubine De, and Chu Ruodong, the son of Concubine De, naturally and Chu Ruoyao, have all become suitable candidates in everyone's hearts.
Before Chu Zhuangyan came, the ministers all gathered to discuss the possible candidates for the crown prince.
"In my opinion, this time the crown prince must be the King of Qin." One of the ministers said, shaking his head.
"King Qin? What you said is not right, you usually have close contacts with King Qin, so naturally you want King Qin to be the crown prince, but don't forget, the emperor is not only a son of King Qin, King Yan, King Ning and others may become princes. The other retorted.
"King Ning became the crown prince? Unlikely! Who doesn't know that King Ning only has beauties in his eyes, and it is not certain that he will not be able to look down on this crown prince! ”
"What about King Yan? Just recovered, the emperor went to Dali Temple on King Yan, isn't this also quite important? A minister in the crowd mentioned Chu Ruoyao's name, and everyone immediately fell silent.
It's not that King Yan hasn't thought about it, it's just that although King Yan is in Dali Temple, after all, King Qin is the one who is really active, not only receiving envoys, but also handling government affairs, which is completely like cultivating a successor, even if Chu Ruoyan didn't have such a good treatment before.
"Yan Wang, he ......"
"What's wrong with this king?" The minister mentioned Chu Ruoyao's name, but Chu Ruoyao, who had just arrived, listened to it. The minister didn't expect Chu Ruoya to appear so justly, he was now full of fear, for fear that Chu Ruoya would kill him if he was unhappy.
"King Yan...... Minister...... Nothing, the minister didn't say anything. The minister trembled as he spoke.
Chu Ruoyu looked at his expression, in fact, he had already heard what the ministers were discussing, such a scene would be staged every day, but no one dared to say it in front of Chu Zhuang Yan, but the matter of Izumo Country had already passed, and it was estimated that someone should be unable to help it today.
"Keep your mouth shut, don't let this king hear anything that shouldn't be heard, it's for your life." Chu Ruoyan admonished this minister with a gloomy face, this person was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.
"I didn't expect King Yan to be really powerful, and he could scare the important ministers of the court like this." As soon as Chu Ruoya finished speaking, she heard the voice of King Wei behind her.
Since the crown prince was deposed, this King of Wei has been silent for a few days, but recently he has suddenly appeared frequently in everyone's field of vision, at first everyone didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw him frequently out of the ministers' mansions, everyone understood that this King of Wei also intended to be the crown prince.
"I thought it was who, it turned out to be King Wei, it seems that King Wei has been doing well recently, you have regained your freedom after the crown prince was deposed, right?"
Before Chu Ruoyao could refute, King Qin, who followed behind, told King Wei about him. Chu Ruo was happy that someone intervened, so he stood aside without looking back, and he didn't want to care about what happened here.
"King Yan, are you going to let King Wei slander you like this?" After Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin, finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chu Ruoyang on the side, giving everyone the impression that he was in the same group as himself, and King Wei was alone.
"King Qin laughed, I never get angry because of something that doesn't exist, but King Qin, I'm so anxious to show myself, I don't know what the purpose is." Chu Ruoyang clasped his hands on his chest, leaving his relationship with Chu Ruoyang completely wiped out, he didn't want to be used as a shield by King Qin.
