Chapter 6: The country is a heavy weapon, beware of fear(2/2)
The decoration of Zhaonanxuan is quite extravagant. There are gold foil paintings along the wooden railings of the stairs, and the lanterns in the hall are decorated with jade.
The two came to a study room. The wooden door was black, quite thick, and had excellent sound insulation.
Lu Xing walked into the house, while Liu Danyang stayed outside the door.
"Your Majesty, how are you resting?" Chu Chu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Yesterday's turbulent movements could not escape the ears of his mountain-top warrior.
The corner of Lu Xing's mouth twitched slightly, and he coughed twice: "Third uncle, I don't think he is looking for me for this reason."
"And my third uncle and I have some important things to say."
"I once read history books. During the Warring States Period, during the Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao, King Qin Zhaoxiang forced Bai Qi to massacre Zhao's 400,000 surrendered soldiers. Bai Qi took orders for the country and was willing to bear the name of a butcher."
"However, Bai Qi never led an army again, his wife left him, the monarch abandoned him, and the law of heaven cannot tolerate his soul."
The words fell silent and Chu Chu lowered his head. Of course he knew what Lu Xing was talking about.
"Your Majesty, have you really decided?"
"If there is civil strife in the North and all lives are lost, what will the prince do?"
Lu Xing closed his eyes, knowing that this was a blessing and a curse.
Slaughtering the opposition forces should be able to solve the problem once and for all. But this is against the laws of nature, and the Qin Dynasty also perished due to cruel policies, let alone the northern land?
"If I can find out the truth, I can also calm the anger of Sun Qi's group."
Find out the truth... Chu Chu secretly shook his head: "It's not easy. It has been a month since the incident happened, and the elders have also been investigating for a month. The prince must not forget that there were seven elders who supported Sun Qi back then, but today all the elders have
From the Crown Prince’s side, it is clear that he is helpless.”
"Third uncle, Sun Qi died on the way just to invite me to attend the crowning ceremony. I should give Sun Qi justice, both emotionally and emotionally."
"It is not the courtesy of a saint to go to war against a fellow countryman and knowingly commit a crime."
"If Xuejin City also does dirty things, how will it be different from other countries in the world? Such a northern place goes against the original intention, and the ancestors shed tears."
The ancestors shed tears! Chu Chu's heart tightened. Lu Xing quoted a lot of scriptures, but none of them touched him as much as these last four words: "I promised the crown prince. I will excuse the crown prince, Prince, just let him go."
Do."
Mr. Lu let out a long breath. He was not sure whether he could persuade Chu Chu.
Chu Chu put down the wine glass in his hand and explained: "Even if the crown prince talks about it, he can't compare with a few pavilion elders. But the crown prince has a saying that is right. Xuejin City has been blessed by the saint and has never wanted to compete with the world.
The word 'guard'."
"Now that the saint has passed away, Xuejing City's responsibility is to protect the world for him."
"Your Majesty, please don't think that the elders are cold-blooded. Those who serve the country often have no control over their own actions." Chu Chu said this for the elders. He did not want Lu Xing and the elders to have bad feelings because of this.
Just as the two were relieved and talking, the wooden door of the house was knocked.
Liu Danyang looked anxious and walked quickly into the door, still holding a letter in his hand.
"Young Master, Mr. Chu, do you have something urgent to report?" Liu Danyang said the content of the letter before the two of them even responded.
"The sage Chu Xiuming from Yingtian Academy arrived in Jiacheng this morning. Exceptionally, there are traces of red-armored cavalry in the north of the city. It is suspected that the young prince Qi Mu is here."
Hearing this, Lu Xing and Chu Chu frowned at the same time.
"Chu Xiuming, it is said that Wenquxing descended to earth and behaved like an ancient Confucian."
"Qi Mu is the eldest son of King Ran, and he does whatever he wants."
