Chapter 949 - Envoy
Chapter 949: Envoy
“Looking at sixth brother, you look quite strong and energetic. Where did this old disease come from?”
Chu Yan waited for him to ask this: “It’s not actually an old disease. It should be an old injury. 3 years ago, I was plotted by a treacherous person. I hurt my head, had amnesia, and suffered sword wounds. Every time it rains, my previous wounds hurt, especially my head. When the pain attacks, I can’t even look at people straight.”
Hearing this, the emperor felt very guilty in his heart. This son had suffered too much, but what does he mean by saying this? Is it meant to remind him?
He didn’t delve into this incident three years ago. He knows what the consequences will be if he investigated this. This time Chu Yan mentioned it in front of him and Chu Feng, he was afraid that it was not simply to chat.
The emperor’s good mood disappeared.
Chu Feng glanced at their imperial father’s expression and saw the displeased expression on his face. He felt at ease inside his heart.
The emperor didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore, so he immediately said to Chu Yan and Chu Feng: “I called you today not to gossip, but because there is something important matter to discuss with you.”
The emperor said to Chu Yan, “Do you know that all the five hundred elite soldiers who escorted Prince Qian Hua and Princess Qiang Fang were killed?”
Chu Yan nodded his head: “I know.”
The emperor was slightly startled. Chu Yan only said these two words? Should he say some more?
The emperor coughed and said, “What do you think of this matter?”
Chu Yan glanced at Chu Feng and said, “The fourth brother is also here, it’s better to ask the fourth brother and speak first.”
When discussing national affairs at ordinary times, the emperor never talked about it with Chu Feng. Today, Chu Feng happened to deliver medicinal tea, so he let him sit down, and then Chu Yan arrived.
However, since Chu Yan mentioned it, he also wanted to hear what Chu Feng said.
“Feng’er, what do you think?”
Chu Feng got up, cupped his hands, and said to the emperor: “Imperial Father, in this son’s opinion, we should send an envoy to the state of Jin as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be inevitably war going to happen.”
Now that the country was peaceful and the people lived in peace. It was time to enrich people and strengthen the country. If they had a war against Jin Country, both sides will suffer heavy losses. The other neighboring countries eyeing them will naturally wait to get benefits.
The emperor got interested immediately and asked Chu Feng, “Send envoys to the Jin Country? Who should I send?”
Chu Feng glanced at the emperor and then swept his eyes over Chu Yan’s body, the said with a smile: “Imperial Father, naturally, he must send the sixth brother, who is talented in literary and martial arts, the prestigious god of war. You let him go and show the great power of our Chu Country.”
The interest on the emperor’s face immediately disappeared and his eyes sank.
What Chu Feng said was right, but it was very dangerous to go to the Jin Country at this time. Who knows if the Emperor of the Jin Country will be angry with his envoy because of the death of his imperial son and daughter.
The emperor glanced at Chu Feng coldly, and then asked Chu Yan: “Yan’er, tell me what you think.”
Chu Yan smiled lightly: “This son thinks that the fourth brother’s proposal is good. However, I’m afraid I can’t do it. It’s better to let the fourth brother go. Among the princes, the fourth brother is the most suitable. ”
The eldest prince disappeared and was found drowned when he was 10 years old. The second prince got a high fever in the middle of the night due to rain and had a convulsion. It was useless no matter what medicine they gave to him. He became a fool when he was sober.
The third prince fell from his horse during autumn hunting. He injured his leg and became a lame man.
In this way, Chu Feng was really the most appropriate choice.
As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately waved his hand: “No, it is too dangerous to go now.”
Chu Yan sneered inside his heart. When he said to let his fourth brother go, the emperor immediately replied that it’s too dangerous to go now.
But when Cu Feng said to let him go, why did the emperor stay silent for a while?
