Chapter 119 Best Policy (Second Update)
The drunken late emperor recited a lot of inexplicable words at that time, and Chu You also did not understand it, but regarded it as drunk.
After a pause, Chu You stabilized his mind, and then continued: "It wasn't until after the death of the emperor's grandfather that the emperor found out that there were several copies of the manuscripts left by the emperor's grandfather. I sent someone to search the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but I couldn't find it, so I thought it was the emperor's grandfather who destroyed some of the manuscripts before his death."
"If those manuscripts were not destroyed, but were discovered by the emperor..."
Chu You opened his eyes, turned around and wanted to walk down the hunting platform, but couldn't wait any longer.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient." Yuan Zhe held Chu You's wrist and strongly urged him to stay.
Chu You raised his sword eyebrows slantingly, his eyes were sharp.
Yuan Zhe took care of the creases on his sleeves, calmly pointed to the most luxurious shed below, and said in a low voice, "Someone must be more anxious than you."
The person he was referring to was not Chu Yi, but Bai Liyin, who was drinking beside him, with a meaningful tone.
Chu You half-squinted his eagle eyes, and also looked at Bailiyin, thoughtfully.
The power of the new type of flintlock gun is bound to arouse Bailiyin's wariness. The South Vietnamese are so ambitious, how could they just sit back and watch the big scene with such a magical weapon.
Bailiyin will move sooner or later!
"So, my lord, don't worry." Yuan Zhe patted Chu You on the shoulder, a determined smile appeared on Sven's face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The eldest prince has stayed in Nanyue for eight years, this is his achievement, It's his biggest weakness."
"As long as the eldest prince makes a slight mistake, whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is a big sin."
Chu Yi spent eight years as a pledge in South Vietnam for the country. Therefore, both courtiers and commoners must remember his sacrifice for the past eight years.
However, this is also a stain that Chu Yi, the eldest prince, will never be able to erase!
Yuan Zhe raised his sleeves and stood leisurely with his hands behind his back. He raised his hands and gestures with a kind of self-confidence and calmness.
Chu You was awakened by Yuan Zhe's advice, and his heart was immediately clear.
When he looked down at Chu Yi again, his eyes were filled with a hint of mockery.
"I'm afraid that the emperor will make a miscalculation this time..." Chu You said, gently rubbing the nine dragon pattern on the jade pendant on the waist with the pulp of his index finger, and the corner of his lips raised.
The emperor asked Chu Yi to entertain Bailiyin instead of him. Naturally, he had his abacus and wanted to pave the way for Chu Yi.
However, this plan may be self-defeating.
Chu Yi has been in South Vietnam for so long, but if he goes wrong on this errand, they can impeach Chu Yi for sacrificing the interests of Dajing and flattering South Vietnam.
Neither the courtiers nor the common people knew about Chu Yi.
The gap created by the missing eight years in the past cannot be easily filled!
Seeing that King Kang has calmed down, Yuan Zhe is also relieved a lot. He stroked his sleeves, smiled again, and said sternly: "Now this situation is good for you, Prince."
"The eldest prince is so showy today, that is, he wants to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible."
In Yuan Zhe's opinion, the eldest prince is really young and vigorous, and he can't hold his breath. Weapons like the new flintlock gun should be hidden and tucked away, secretly mass-produced as soon as possible, in order to become their big picture. Killer.
This is the best policy.
But the eldest prince is obviously impatient and wants to stand in the court as soon as possible, so he made such a foolish move, and even took out this new type of flintlock gun to show off, really grandstanding!
As a result, it only aroused the vigilance and covetousness of the South Vietnamese!
Stupid and shortsighted.
Hey, the eldest prince was really abandoned by the Nanyue people. Yuan Zhe sighed in his heart.
Following Yuan Zhe's unhurried words, Chu You completely calmed down, let out a long sigh of relief, and nodded, "Cousin is right."
"Thanks to my cousin for giving me advice."
Chu You bowed his hands to Yuan Zhe.
Yuan Zhe smiled lightly, and after receiving the gift from Chu You, he was neither arrogant nor anxious, neither humble nor arrogant.
The mountain wind is still whistling by the side, and the chill is biting.
Occasionally, a few remnants of leaves were blown by the mountain wind, flying randomly on the hunting platform and spinning around.
Yuan Zhe gently brushed off a piece of stump leaf that fell on his shoulder, and reminded again: "My lord, Taizu's handwriting is secondary."
He was also worried that Chu You was confused by the immediate interests and forgot their longer-term goals.
The Great Ancestor's Handwriting is important, it's lucky to get it, that's all.
To them, the important thing is the throne.
"Cousin, this king understands."
Chu You had a long sword hanging from his waist and stood against the wind. The crow's long eyelashes were hidden, and there was a slight shadow in his pupils, spreading little by little.
"Get it..."
There was a rush of hooves in the forest on the other side, and at least eight or nine people were galloping towards this side.
The location of the hunting platform is condescending, and Chu You can see it clearly at a glance.
Those who went hunting in the woods are back!
The sun is already slanting, and the mountains and forests are filled with golden glow, and the sunset glows in the sky.
The sons who went out to hunt came back from the hunting ground one after another and gathered in this open space again.
Their return made the surroundings more lively.
Other people gathered around to watch their harvest, and more prey was piled up on the ground, and several Luanyi guards began to count and record them.
Today's leader was finally won by the Fifth Young Master Yu of General Jianwei's Mansion, which attracted countless envious eyes and thunderous applause.
In the eyes of the young masters, Chu Yi first gave the pocket watch and encouraged the other party.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Liyin instructed the middle-aged Yue man, who was missing an eyebrow, to hand over the Persian machete to the fifth son of Yu, and said a few words of politeness, "treasure swords are given to heroes".
"Thanks to the third prince Baili for giving the knife." Fifth Young Master Yu took the machete with both hands, and then bowed to Bailiyin.
Etiquette is decent, without losing the grace of the grand scene, and there is no flattering performance.
Originally, this machete from Persia was considered a rarity. The blade was blown and the hair was broken, and the scabbard was embedded with many precious gems, but compared with the pocket watch given by Chu Yi, it was inferior.
After all, although the machete is rare, it is not rare, but it costs some money.
Fifth Young Master Yu casually played with the machete twice, then put the machete on his waist and backed away.
His right hand held the enamel silver pocket watch solemnly, and his eyes shone brightly.
This pocket watch is different, there are only so many people in the whole Dajing, not even his father!
As soon as the fifth son of Yu walked out of the shed, the road waiting outside seemed to be rushing towards him like a tide, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Yu Laowu, show me your pocket watch."
"Show me first, Brother Yu, last time I got a hundred-year-old wine, I thought of you first."
"Go, go, I'm still his cousin."
“…”
The boys and buddies all squeezed past, scrambling to talk non-stop, trying to open their eyes.
Looking at these noisy teenagers and young people, the smile on Bailiyin's lips froze for a moment.
Immediately, he returned to normal, showing a very interesting smile, and said to Chu Yi with emotion: "Young Master Yi, I heard that your Emperor Tianli is a goddess, and you have made a lot of good things. This king is rare to come to you. Country, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see one or two?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a Yueren in his twenties quickly stepped into the shed, bent down and whispered to Bailiyin.
The middle-aged Yueren next to him pricked up his ears, and vaguely heard the words "Xiahouqing" floating over.
Xiahouqing? ! The middle-aged Yueren was frightened and couldn't help but look at Bailiyin.
"..." Bailiyin pursed her thin lips tightly, and her face gradually became solemn.
Even if he lost to Chu Yi in public while hunting tigers before, he has never been so rude at this moment.
Those young masters were still playing and pushing, and Lu Xi smiled and asked Chu Yi to talk: "Your Highness, shall we come back for spring hunting next year? Next time I will definitely be the leader."
Lu looked at Chu Yi eagerly, and was about to ask if the eldest prince could take out a pocket watch as a lucky draw next time.
Other young masters also showed anticipation when they heard the words.
Chu Yi did not respond or object, and said meaningfully: "Emperor Taizu said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
He smiled slightly, gentle and refined, without even looking at Bailiyin.
Bai Liyin clenched his fists, quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart, looked at Chu Yi with a smile on his face, and said calmly, "Young Master Yi, it's getting late today..."
"Indeed." Only then did Chu Yi look at Bailiyin and follow his words, "It's getting late, we should return to Beijing."
So, Chu Yi set the car, and everyone got up and sent them off.
As soon as they left, the children of the aristocratic family couldn't stay any longer, and they all got on the carriage, and the huge motorcade was on the road.
Wei Jiaoniang and Lu Qin didn't want to go with the girls of the aristocratic family, so they called Gu Yanfei to stay and play shuttlecock for a while.
At dusk, the sky suddenly became gloomy, the clouds were closed, and the sky was dark as if night had come early.
"Oh my god, you can turn your face faster than me."
Wei Jiao Niang was afraid that it would snow, so she greeted the girls to set off quickly.
They were all worried about getting caught in the rain, so they hurried along the way and rode very fast.
Rao is so, they still didn't escape, it didn't rain on the way, but it snowed.
In an instant, the goose feather-like snowflakes floated down densely, covering the sky and covering the sky, and the sky became a piece of silver...
The wind was strong and the snow was heavy.
They also drove a few miles, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the road.
Unfortunately, the snow is still getting bigger.
Gu Yanfei stroked Hongyu's neck soothingly, and Hongyu raised his neck confidently and called twice, as if to say, don't worry.
good! Gu Yanfei touched it again.
She frowned slightly and looked around, the snow was too heavy...
The sky was too dark, the wind and snow would obstruct the view, and they were all riding horses. If one accidentally slipped the horse's hooves on the snow, the consequences would be disastrous!
They can no longer continue on their way in ignorance.
