Chapter 272

The news of the great victory of the Western Chu was soon transmitted back to the capital by Nalan night.

Although it was only a small victory, in order to build momentum, he also wrote it as a big victory. On the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of it to avoid the blame of the Western Chu emperor for finding Luo qingluan stealing to the front line. On the other hand, he put pressure on the Southern Wei Dynasty and northern Vietnam to let them know that it was not so easy to attack the Western Chu at will, even if they joined hands.

Two days later, when Luo qingluan was busy studying drugs for the treatment of the epidemic, the urgent document of 800 Li finally came to the hand of the emperor of Western Chu. Emperor Xi Chu was overjoyed and summoned his ministers to discuss the plan for further counterattack, but some ministers expressed different opinions.

"Your Majesty, it's clear from the good news that the king of Chu only killed more than 1000 people, and there were no important people. That night, the second prince of Southern Wei personally supervised the war, but the king of Chu let the second prince of Southern Wei escape. It was really careless." A minister shook his head and sighed, "did the king of Chu not go to the battlefield for several years and take pride in his achievements, even a small Prince of the enemy country?"

"Your Majesty, I seconded."

Another Minister stood up and said, "although the king of Chu won, it was a small stop after all, and it was not worth 800 Li to rush back. If you really beat back the alliance between the southern Wei Dynasty and the northern Vietnam, it would be a real military achievement unless you caught the second prince of the southern Wei Dynasty or the emperor of the northern Vietnam. The king of Chu was too proud. Be careful to underestimate the enemy."

The two men's words were eagerly extinguished by the emperor of Western Chu, like a basin of cold water. Calm down and think about it. Indeed, he had been afraid of Nalan night's military achievements five years ago. He was worried that he would have made great achievements. If Nalan night had not voluntarily resigned his military power, he would not have trusted Nalan night so much in recent years.

But Nalan night unexpectedly failed to live up to his trust. However, he only won a small victory. He came here in a hurry. Is he really reluctant to give up his rights?

The emperor was suspicious, and the Western Chu emperor was no exception. Just as his face sank, the prince Nangong Qing standing by his highness had come out, Salute: "My father and my ministers disagreed. The king of Chu was brave and good at fighting, and he should understand this. Although the sneak attack was a small station, the king of Chu's propaganda and momentum could warn the southern Wei Dynasty and northern Vietnam that if they were wise, they should retreat and everyone would be happy. Otherwise, the king of Chu would naturally hit them head-on and would never give them another blow opportunity! Father, this is the reason for the success of the king of Chu, not for merit! "

"Really?" Although Nangong Qing's words were reasonable, the emperor of Western Chu was suspicious and not so easy to eliminate.

"Elder brother, you're a little inappropriate."

At this time, Nangong Chen also stood up and flashed a sneer in her eyes. He first saluted the Western Chu emperor, and then arched his hand at the Nangong Qing arch. With a smile on his face, he said, "little brother knows that big brother has a close relationship with the king of Chu, but he shouldn't cover up like this in the current war."

With that, he told the Western Chu emperor, "let's not talk about whether the king of Chu did his duty on the front line, but the son minister knows that he must tell the father emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Qing immediately had a bad feeling, so he heard the Western Chu emperor say, "you say."

He turned his head and glanced at Nangong Qing. Nangong Chen said, "father, yesterday, his son's minister accompanied the side imperial concubine Luo's back to the general's house. He wanted to see his father-in-law and see the princess of Chu again. After all, his son's side imperial concubine Luo and the princess of Chu are sisters. If they haven't seen each other for many days, they should get together and talk about their sisters."

"Unexpectedly, the general's house sent someone to invite Princess Chu's servants back and said that Princess Chu didn't come. Luo Shi was worried and thought he had offended her sister, so he immediately begged his son to accompany her to Princess Chu's house and make amends to Princess Chu in person. As a result, his son and Luo Shi went to Princess Chu and found out..."

After listening to Nangong Chen for a long time, the emperor of Western Chu was a little impatient and said in a heavy tone, "what did you find?"

"Hui's father, the princess of Chu is not in the palace of the king of Chu. She left the capital more than ten days ago and followed the king of Chu to the front line."

"What!" When he heard the news, the dragon eyes of the emperor of Western Chu were round and unbelievable.

He suddenly patted the Dragon chair and stood up: "Princess Chu is not in the capital?" His eyes turned and stared at Nangong Qing like a sharp blade: "Qing'er, didn't you tell me that Princess Chu just gave you a recipe and is refining weapons for the army of Western Chu? Why, she's not in the capital?"

"Father, this..."

Nangong Qing also panicked. She didn't expect Nangong Chen to know that Luo qingluan was not in the capital and would poke it out in public. Now the father is angry, for fear of unpredictable consequences.

Immediately, a minister bingzou said, "Your Majesty, the king of Chu led the troops to the war. As a rule, his family members should stay in the capital and can't accompany him. But the king of Chu knew it. If the five princes didn't say it, I'm afraid everyone would be kept in the dark by the king of Chu and the princess of Chu."

"Your Majesty, the king of Chu openly violated his ancestral system, but he harboured evil intentions. I'm afraid he has the mind to start a rebellion. Your Majesty must be careful!" Another minister who had always been at odds with Nalan night immediately added fuel to the fire.

This time, the ministers caused a sensation and whispered, and the whole dynasty became noisy.

Nangong Qing naturally knew about Luo qingluan's sneaking away, but he didn't expect it to be noticed by Nangong Chen, so that he made trouble in public. Now he had a headache and wanted to defend Nalan night and Luo qingluan: "father, the king of Chu is loyal and will never betray."

"Since you won't betray, why take Princess Chu?" Nangong Chen immediately refuted.

"This......" Nangong Qing immediately said.

Can't it be said that Luo qingluan stole away by herself? If so, the father emperor will hit Luo qingluan with all his anger, and will not forgive Nalan night, which will only be more troublesome.

Just when Nangong Qing didn't know what to say, Wang Hongjian, the Minister of rites, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister suddenly remembered something. Dongwan sent someone to send the National Certificate yesterday, and princess duanrou was ready to come to Xichu with the mission."

Hearing that it was about the state of Dongwan, the emperor of Western Chu was angry and calm at last.

"Since Princess duanrou is visiting, just leave it to Honglu temple. Old Wang, you must send someone to receive the princess and do it carefully." The emperor of Western Chu restrained his temper and said calmly.

Unexpectedly, old Wang didn't give up. He still stood in the hall and arched his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Princess duanrou came here with deep meaning."

The emperor of Western Chu frowned. A woman, if she were not the princess of Dongwan, the first powerful country, he would not pay attention at all. Princess duanrou came to the Western Chu for a visit. Compared with the four countries' Congress last time, she wanted to have a good visit. He would naturally arrange Wan'er to accompany her at that time. What's the meaning?

Without revealing any trace, old Wang glanced at Nangong Yu, the second prince who had not spoken from beginning to end. Then he continued: "Your Majesty, Princess duanrou just wants to stay in our western Chu and will never be Dongwan again."

"Hmm? What does Aiqing mean?" The emperor of Western Chu couldn't understand.

"Although it is said vaguely in the National Certificate, it can't hide the eyes of the old minister." Old Wang smiled, "according to Weichen's many years of experience, I'm afraid Princess duanrou wants to see his Highness the king of Chu and want to marry the king of Chu, so..."

Before the words were finished, everyone was in an uproar!

What, Princess duanrou wants to marry Nalan night?

Whether the king of Chu wants it or not, he has married the princess!

You can't marry the princess of Dongwan, golden branches and jade leaves, to be the side room of the king of Chu? Otherwise, even if Ping's wife is wronged, Princess duanrou! If not, the king of Chu can't let Luo qingluan rest, can he? After all, the second lady of the general's house was married by Nalan night, and was married by decree. Divorcing her wife not only hit the general's house in the face, but also made her majesty lose face.

Even the Western Chu Emperor didn't expect this. Before, he angrily suspected that Nalan night had a heart of disobedience. Now he just feels thorny and doesn't know what to do.

"Don't Princess duanrou know that the king of Chu already has a concubine?" Emperor Xi Chu asked patiently.

Wang Lao nodded: "The marriage of the king of Chu has never been concealed. Although Dongwan is far away, there must be a way to know. Now that Princess duanrou knows, why should she insist on coming, the old minister doesn't understand. It's just that the national book suggests that if the king of Chu is willing to marry Princess duanrou as the imperial concubine, Dongwan is willing to form an alliance with the Western Chu, send 100000 troops to destroy North Vietnam and frighten the southern Wei."

"What!"

Not only the officials, but also the emperor of Western Chu, Nangong Qing, Nangong Chen and others were shocked.

Is Dongwan willing to pay such a price to marry a princess?

All of them thought that if the Western Chu could form an alliance with the first power, Dongwan, would they be afraid of the alliance between the southern Wei Dynasty and the northern Vietnam? It not only greatly increased its power, but also was able to resist North Vietnam, completely eliminate this great danger, and avoid the recurrence of the war five years ago.

"Your Majesty, if this is really the case, this is a major event in Western Chu." A Minister stood up and said.

"Yes, if the king of Chu can marry Princess duanrou, it is definitely a good thing. However, the king of Chu must return to the Dynasty and win."

"Your Majesty, it's a big and happy event to form an alliance with Dongwan. Once this matter is settled, I'm not afraid of the southern Wei and Northern Yue. I'm afraid that once the news is released, the southern Wei will withdraw from the army. I'm afraid it will be once and for all."

The ministers were so happy that they forgot that Nalan night had just said that there was a rebellion. Once they heard that Nalan night might cling to Dongwan country, they didn't dare to offend him any more and turned to flatter him. At this time, Nangong Qing's cold voice broke everyone's Fantasy: "but don't forget that the king of Chu has married Princess Zheng and is still the second miss of the general's house."

He looked at Los Angeles with an embarrassed face and said coldly, "general Luo, this has something to do with you. What do you think?"

As if she had caught a straw, Los Angeles immediately stepped out and knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, never! Weichen's daughter is the princess married by the king of Chu, or is she married by your majesty. How can Princess duanrou rob her husband? Please make the decision for her little daughter..."

Los Angeles knows best that the eldest daughter Luo Qingshuang can't rely on it. A five Prince's side imperial concubine has given birth to a son and hasn't been righted. I'm afraid there's no hope. The only one is Luo qingluan, the second daughter. She is the imperial concubine of the king of Chu, and it seems that the king of Chu dotes on her very much. As long as Luo qingluan is the imperial concubine of Chu one day, his position in the court will be stable and will never be despised because of his old age and incompetence.

Therefore, he must keep Luo qingluan's status as Princess of Chu!
