And to go to war again
"Aiqing said." The emperor's mood seemed to be exceptionally good.
"Your Majesty, in the court, there are ministers!" Chi Zhongtian said with a solemn face.
"Chi Aiqing!"
As soon as Chi Zhongtian's words fell, the emperor's face suddenly changed.
"Chi Aiqing, you are a person in the rivers and lakes, the most trustworthy, although I am not a person in the rivers and lakes, but the Son of Heaven has no jokes, you and I agree on haode things, I don't like you and me, if anyone is there, break this agreement first. ”
The meaning of the emperor's words is obvious, that is, to tell Chi Zhongtian that it has been agreed a long time ago that Chi Zhongtian is only in charge of an army for the emperor, and he will only help the emperor deal with some tricky military affairs, and as for the government affairs of the DPRK and China, he must not get involved.
Chi Zhongtian is a smart person, how can he not remember this, but this time, he can't help it.
Water ghosts of the Jialing River.
The thieves of Lijiang City.
A lonely cloud that mysteriously appears on the way back.
The mysterious man who assassinated King Kyung.
This pile, one by one, made Chi Zhongtian feel upset.
However, even so, the emperor will still not back down on this, because it is a matter of principle.
"Chi Aiqing, I know everything you have reported, tomorrow morning, I will allow you to go to court, but you try not to speak, after the reward, I will let you go back. The Emperor continued.
"Your Majesty, the minister is a little reckless, and I hope that the emperor will forgive him. Chi Zhongtian said.
"It's okay, I'm so anxious to find you today, and there's one more thing I want to tell you in advance. The Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, please command!"
"The war in the west is tight, I thought, can you take the sergeants of the Shenwu Dragon Yang Guard to help?"
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Chi Zhongtian's heart suddenly chuckled.
This trip to southern Xinjiang has been delayed for a lot of time, because the people sent by Xuantian were promised to find a way to save Master Yunyan together, but it was also delayed because of this matter, and Bei Lingxuan should still be waiting for him at the Lifting Horse Temple near Shezhou at this time.
Just when he thought that he had returned and could breathe a sigh of relief, the emperor suddenly talked about the war in the west, which made him unprepared at all.
"Your Majesty, the minister really wants to serve the country, but, the affairs in the rivers and lakes of the minister" Chi Zhongtian said this, and the emperor immediately nodded and said: "Ah! That's right, I have forgotten all about the country's major affairs, haha." ”
Seeing that the emperor said so politely, Chi Zhongtian was also a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to excuse himself, so please ask the emperor to give the minister a little time, so that the minister can deal with the affairs in the rivers and lakes. Chi Zhongtian said.
"How long will it take?" the Emperor asked.
"Half a year. Chi Zhongtian thought for a moment and replied firmly.
"Half a year" the emperor muttered silently, and then said: "Half a year, it's a little long, I won't hide it from you, the war in the west is not ordinarily tight, my second son, oh, that is, King Huan, has been defeated." ”
After the emperor finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian's brows immediately furrowed tightly.
What happened this year?
How is there a war everywhere?
Moreover, the war cannot be won.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, I really didn't do it. The Emperor said with some sorrow.
"Your Majesty, you are"
"The dignified Chinese Celestial Empire, the country is rich and the army is strong, since I ascended the throne, there have never been any thieves from Fanbang who dare to covet my Celestial Empire, but now, I have attacked three times and twice, alas!"
As the saying goes, don't look at the emperor on top, but there are a lot of things to worry about.
Just like the ancestral teachings of the emperors of previous dynasties, those who lose an inch of land are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave.
Not allowed to enter the ancestral grave is simply the biggest insult to an emperor.
In other words, the ancestors did not recognize you as a person at all, and they did not recognize you as their descendant.
Now, the emperor has to move such a mind.
"Your Majesty, Minister"
Saying that, Chi Zhongtian seemed to be a little reluctant in his heart.
"Chi Aiqing, since you have something to be busy, let's get busy first, and then I will find a way. The Emperor said.
If it were according to normal thinking, Chi Zhongtian would definitely be polite, but this time is really not the time to be polite.
The affairs of the rivers and lakes cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise, their center of gravity may be tilted.
"Your Majesty, thank you!" Chi Zhongtian hurriedly said.
When the emperor heard him say this, he didn't expect it, because he also felt that Chi Zhongtian would be polite, and then he would get off the donkey down the slope and force Chi Zhongtian to comply.
I don't know when it began, the emperor has been very trusting of Chi Zhongtian, and it is not only trust, but also a kind of reassurance.
He always felt that as long as Chi Zhongtian went out in person, there would be nothing difficult.
"Go, solve it as soon as possible, tomorrow in the court, after I have been rewarded, you can go back, don't worry, this time I promise you, within half a year, I will definitely not bother." The Emperor said with a smile.
Seeing the emperor say this, Chi Zhongtian was relieved, you have no jokes, as long as the emperor says so, then he will definitely be able to do it.
After leaving the palace, Chi Zhongtian first went to say hello to Jin Chi, and then went to Yongmen Zidi's house again.
It's just unfortunate that Yongmen Zidi and Yongmen Zhen are not at home, and even Yongmen Yuhan doesn't know where to go.
Since none of them were there, Chi Zhongtian was embarrassed to stay.
Coming to the lively place in the city, Chi Zhongtian immediately walked into a teahouse.
Business in the teahouse seems to be very good, almost full.
After Chi Zhongtian found a random seat and sat down, he greeted with a smile: "A pot of tea, and a few more platters." "Okay. After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a tray with a pot of tea, a teacup, and three plates of snacks.
"Childe, your tea. The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”
"You're welcome. ”
The tea here has a unique taste to drink, although it is not as good as the best teas such as Monkey Kui, Da Hong Pao, and even Junshan Silver Leaf that Chi Zhongtian drank before, but there is a very strong sense of intimacy.
This teahouse will also find some people to sing by the way, and at this time, it happens that the stage will be set up in front.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today, we specially invited a few powerful characters to sing a good song for you. ”
"Good!"
Come to drink tea, just to have a lively scene, otherwise just drink tea, how boring?
Therefore, this proposal was quickly responded to by everyone, but Chi Zhongtian did not react much, and was still indifferent.
Drink tea with confidence.
