Chapter 313: Trade Your Life for His Life
"Father, father?"
The four princes knelt in front of Emperor Chu, tremblingly stretched out their hands and grabbed the placket of Emperor Chu's clothes.
He didn't know what Emperor Chu meant by that sentence just now.
Then you should die..... What exactly does this mean? He just had a little friction with Chen Chao, why was his father so ruthless and let him apologize for his crime with death?
The four princes' lips trembled in fear, and the pupils in their eyes flickered back and forth.
"Jia Yan, drag it out." Emperor Chu opened his mouth coldly, picked up the poetry collection on the case again, and flipped through it.
"Yes."
Jia Yan put down the tongs in his hand and beckoned outward.
immediately rushed into the two little eunuchs, one on the left and one on the left, and grabbed the four princes and was about to go out.
When the four princes saw it, they were completely panicked, and they couldn't care about anything anymore, and they pulled out the bright yellow clothes that Emperor Chu hung down with both hands, and held them tightly in their hands: "Father, son, son, son, .....son,
"Father, father....."
"Father, don't die, don't die!"
Emperor Chu squinted and straightened up, stared at the four princes who were close at hand, and said calmly:
"Okay, I'll let you die today."
"Jia Yan!"
"The old slave is here!"
Jia Yan got up, came to the Chu Emperor, and bowed in response.
Emperor Chu asked: "You have been with me for many years, I believe in you the most, do you think that the Chen Dynasty will inherit my love and stay in my court?" β
Jia Yan first glanced at the fourth prince, and then replied in a dumb voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the Chen Dynasty will definitely not stay!" The old slave dares to guarantee with the head of the item! β
After hearing this, Emperor Chu nodded and agreed.
He is the Emperor of Chu, the Emperor of Chu.
From his personal point of view, he really wanted Chen Dynasty to stay in Chu as a minister.
Chen Chao's talent is obvious to all.
The emperor of Daji did not know the goods, but he was different.
He is willing to be the Bole of the Chen Dynasty, but the problem now is that the Chen Dynasty, a thousand-mile horse, seems to be unwilling to be driven by him.
In the past few days, he has been very troubled by this matter.
"No, no, Chen Chao will definitely stay, he will." The fourth prince shook his head frantically, not knowing where the confidence came from.
Emperor Chu didn't say anything, but Jia Yan came to the side of the fourth prince, stretched out his hand to break the hands that held the placket of Emperor Chu's clothes, and broke his fingers one by one.
The fourth prince looked at Jia Yan beside him: "Father-in-law Jia, he will!" The Chen Dynasty will definitely stay. β
Jia Yan smiled silently and said calmly:
"Your Highness, you are wrong."
"Chen Chao won't stay!"
"Why?" The fourth prince asked, and hurriedly said: "Now that there is civil strife in Daji, he can't go back to the Chen Dynasty, he can only have a chance to survive if he stays, why do you say that the Chen Dynasty will not stay, why is this?" β
Jia Yan didn't answer quickly, but glanced at Emperor Chu, who was reading a collection of poems.
Emperor Chu nodded to him, and Jia Yan explained the reason to the four princes:
"Your Highness doesn't know yet, does he? Now this Chen Dynasty is no longer the one it used to be, although the former Chen Dynasty was a respectable opponent, it was far less terrible than the current one...... The current Chen Dynasty is old enough, insidious enough, and hypocritical enough. β
"In Daji, no one is the opponent of the Chen Dynasty, and if we let him leave safely, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain."
As he spoke, Jia Yan's old face became more and more terrifying, and his voice was hoarse, almost with a trace of grief and indignation:
"Your Highness, I guess you also know that Your Majesty has a heart for talent."
The fourth prince nodded, of course he knew.
If Emperor Chu didn't have the heart to cherish his talents, he would not have left Chen Chao alone on the day the envoy entered the palace, and he also called Lingke to accompany him.
Jia Yan changed his words and said: "Your Majesty has the heart to cherish talents, but Chen Chao does not appreciate it, this person will never be used by Your Majesty, and will be used by my Chu State, since it will not, then we don't need to be merciful, kill!" β
Hearing this, the fourth prince took a breath and spit it out again.
The mood is particularly heavy.
Suddenly, Emperor Chu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke and sighed faintly:
"Jia Yan, I'm old, I can't see the blood of Tianjiao on my hands, Jia Yan, you say, how about we let him go back and let him die in the hands of his own people?"
Jia Yan shook his head resolutely, "poof", and knelt down directly.
Seeing this, the four princes were taken aback.
In his impression, Jia Yan rarely bowed down directly to Emperor Chu, not so much that the two were masters and servants, but that they were more like old partners who had lived together for many years.
Emperor Chu was also taken aback and said, "Jia Yan, what are you doing here?" β
Jia Yan raised his head, his eyes were like torches, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, Chen Chao, this person, we must kill him!"
"Counting on the Chen Dynasty to return to Daji, Li Yu took the opportunity to kill the Chen Dynasty, it is tantamount to an idiot's dream, yes, now Li Yu does hold the military power and successfully launched a coup d'Γ©tat, and the Chen Dynasty is in Jinling, beyond the reach of the whip, so he can only watch Li Yu make a second, but do you know that this is not a trap given to Li Yu by the Chen Dynasty? Chen Chao wanted to watch Li Yu jump in. β
"Why don't I know......" Emperor Chu held Jia Yan's arm, let him get up, and continued: "At the beginning, I used a blank piece of paper to make the little emperor and courtiers of Daji suspect that Chen Chao had a disobedient heart to Daji, and Chen Chao was forced to come to Jinling to prove his innocence, but I also knew that a blank piece of paper was far from being exchanged for him coming to Jinling in person. β
"He is trying to use himself as bait to lure Li Yu into a trap, and all this I have done has been a dowry for him."
Speaking of this, Emperor Chu showed great resentment and clenched his back molars.
"The reason why Li Yu was able to successfully launch a coup d'Γ©tat was all due to Xu Boyan, but Xu Boyan is a loyal and patriotic person, holding 200,000 Xu family troops, if he wanted to force the palace to rebel, he would have rebelled a long time ago, why wait until now?"
"It's even more ridiculous when that Li Yu. didn't even notice it, and naively thought that he had persuaded Xu Boyan. β
"All of this is a bureau set up by the Chen Dynasty, think about it carefully, this bureau is very wonderful, excellent, even I admire it a little."
"It's okay...... Emperor Chu suddenly waved his hand and sighed, "It's really terrible to keep such a person in the world, let's kill it." β
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Jia Yan shook respectfully.
After straightening up, Jia Yan looked at the stunned four princes: "Your Highness, it's up to you whether you can kill the Chen Dynasty or not." β
The fourth prince came back to his senses and pointed at himself: "Me? β
Jia Yan nodded: "Your Highness, go with confidence, your life for the life of the Chen Dynasty, it is my Chu State that has taken a big advantage!" β
"In the future, my Chu State will dominate the world, the four princes, you are the greatest hero!"
After speaking, Jia Yan leaned over and bowed deeply.
The fourth prince seemed to understand something at this moment, and turned around to flee.
He understood that his father wanted to kill the Chen Dynasty, but there was no reasonable excuse, only if something happened to him, the prince who had a holiday with the Chen Dynasty, the Chu Emperor could make a fuss about it and execute the Chen Dynasty.
With his life, in exchange for the life of Chen Chao!
Before the four princes could take two steps, they were held down by the two eunuchs together, no matter how the four princes struggled, it was useless.
The fourth prince was pressed to the ground and couldn't move, and roared angrily:
"Father, tiger poison doesn't eat children, you are so ruthless!"
Emperor Chu didn't speak, and he didn't even look at the four princes who couldn't make a difference, but simply waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to drag him out.
After the people dragged out, Emperor Chu suddenly spoke: "Jia Yan, you say, what if Chen Chao is really a poet and immortal?" β
Jia Yan didn't say a word, turned around and picked up the tongs, and continued to stir with the charcoal fire in the brazier.
He knew that Emperor Chu had always had a dream of becoming an immortal.
