Chapter 123 Self-recommendation
Wei time, Changqiu Palace.
Emperor Dong was enjoying a sumptuous lunch with Concubine Qi. They were sitting at a gorgeous dining table, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
Concubine Qi was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and her beautiful face looked even more charming in the sunlight.
The Eastern Emperor wore a golden dragon robe, showing his dignity and majesty.
After lunch, Emperor Dong and Concubine Qi walked out of the restaurant together and took a walk in the garden outside the palace.
The Emperor of the East gently took Concubine Qi's hand and took her for a walk among the flowers. Concubine Qi's face was filled with a happy smile.
"Your Majesty, I have just told you so much. Do you agree to let Xing'er lead the troops to fight against the Southern Kingdom?" Concubine Qi said softly.
"Haha, my beloved concubine, I will consider carefully what you said." Emperor Dong responded with a smile.
Laughter filled the air.
At this time, Emperor Dong was no longer the almighty emperor, but a gentle and considerate husband who cared about his beloved woman.
At this time, a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan wants to see you."
Emperor Dong glanced at Concubine Qi and said, "Let him go to the imperial study."
Chu Tiancheng walked into the imperial study and was not surprised to see Concubine Qi sitting next to Emperor Dong.
Chu Tiancheng bowed and greeted.
The Emperor of the East asked: "Cheng'er, what do you want to see me for?"
Chu Tiancheng glanced at Concubine Qi and said nothing.
The Emperor of the East pondered for a moment, and said to Concubine Qi: "Lanzhi, you should go back to your palace and take a nap."
"Yes." Concubine Qi bowed and left.
After returning to her palace, Concubine Qi immediately sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to deliver a letter to Chu Tianxing, "Prince Yan has entered the palace to see the emperor."
Chu Tianxing went into the palace immediately after receiving the news.
The round trip took about half an hour.
And during this half hour, Chu Tiancheng said everything he wanted to say.
The reason why he came here to recommend himself was to fully explain to the Eastern Emperor the many reasons why he wanted to lead his troops to fight in the Southern Kingdom.
He stressed his loyalty and sense of responsibility to the country and people of Eastern Country and expressed his willingness to fight to defend Eastern Country.
He believed that he possessed outstanding military talent and leadership skills and could lead his soldiers to victory over the Southern States.
He mentioned that he understood the geographical environment of the Southern Country and the enemy's combat methods, and was able to formulate effective strategies and tactics.
He said he was well aware that this war was of vital importance to the Eastern Kingdom and that failure to achieve victory could result in serious consequences.
He promised to do his utmost to protect the lives of the soldiers and ensure they were treated and rewarded fairly.
……
These reasons fully demonstrated Chu Tiancheng's determination, wisdom and courage, and he hoped that Emperor Dong would believe that he was capable of this task.
Dongdi didn't say much the whole time, just listened quietly.
Chu Tiancheng had just finished speaking when a palace servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wants to see you."
Emperor Dong waved to Chu Tiancheng.
Chu Tiancheng bowed respectfully, said "I'm leaving now", turned around and left.
At the palace gate, he met Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tiancheng saluted the prince neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Chu Tianxing stepped forward and helped him up, "Tiancheng, I have told you many times that there is no need for us to be polite to each other as brothers."
Chu Tiancheng didn't say anything. He just stood up and left after bowing.
Chu Tianxing stood at the palace gate and looked back at Chu Tiancheng's receding figure.
His eyes were unpredictable, gradually becoming fierce and ruthless.
Chu Tianxing certainly knew why Chu Tiancheng went to the palace to see the emperor.
In fact, before Chu Tiancheng came, Concubine Qi had already spoken well of Chu Tianxing to the Emperor.
Chu Tianxing kept watching Chu Tiancheng walk away before he adjusted his facial expression and turned to enter the palace.
"Father!" Chu Tianxing walked to the East Emperor with excitement, bowed respectfully, and began to introduce himself incessantly:
“Although I have no experience in leading troops in battle, as the crown prince, I should share the country’s concerns.
I beg you to give me a chance to lead the army to fight and prove my ability."
It took the Emperor of the East a lot of consolation before he finally persuaded Chu Tianxing to leave.
He didn't give a definite answer, but just said that he needed to think about it carefully.
Dongdi was very pleased when his two sons came to him and asked to lead the troops to the war. After all, his children were so motivated and eager to work. This was a good thing!
But who to choose and who not to choose? This is really a headache.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh and blood. The Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan each have their strengths and weaknesses.
The prince's strengths are that he is calm and reserved, and he also has a wide network of contacts.
Although the crown prince is the heir to the throne, he has never been to the battlefield. If he is rashly allowed to lead the army into battle, it will be difficult to convince the people.
But if we don't give him a chance, it might cause dissatisfaction among him.
The advantages of Prince Yan are his bravery and courage and his combat experience.
But the wars fought in the past were all small-scale ones, and we had never really experienced the baptism of large-scale wars.
What's more, there is the Minister of Revenue Wu Congshan, who will definitely support the prince. As for the King of Yan, he will definitely pretend to obey but secretly disobey.
Emperor Dong fell into deep thought. What choice should he make?
No matter who is asked to go to war, there will be concerns that the other child will feel uncomfortable, feeling that he is not valued or not capable enough.
He needs to consider many factors, such as the nature of the war, the strength of the opponent, the situation of the army, etc.
At the same time, he also has to take into account the feelings and emotions of his two sons and not let them have estrangement or conflicts because of this matter.
This question was so difficult that the Emperor couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy to be an emperor. It's so difficult to even assign tasks to my sons!"
Three quarters past noon, Taoran Garden.
Qin Rubing took a walk in the yard after lunch and was about to go back to the house for a nap.
Suddenly, a red shadow fell from the sky and landed next to the peach tree.
Qin Rubing looked carefully and found that it was none other than Zhu Shijie.
"Young Master, why are you here to visit me again?" Qin Rubing said with a smile.
Zhu Shijie lay down on the recliner in the yard and said, "Princess, sister-in-law, I am here to send you a letter."
"What happened?" Qin Rubing asked curiously.
Zhu Shijie shouted to Zhuxiang, "Zhuxiang, hurry up and serve me some tea. I'm dying of thirst."
Zhuxiang looked at Qin Rubing, Qin Rubing nodded, and Zhuxiang went to make tea.
Zhu Shijie didn't speak until he took a sip of hot tea:
"Your husband is going to the southern country to fight."
"Oh, just go ahead." Qin Rubing said lightly.
"Aren't you worried? Not anxious? Not afraid?" Zhu Shijie asked rapidly.
"What is there to worry about? If the prince really wants to go, this princess will accompany him."
"Are you a woman? You're going to war, not to travel!"
Qin Rubing yawned. "I'm sleepy. It's time for a nap."
Qin Rubing turned and went into the house, leaving Zhu Shijie alone and disheveled in the wind.
