Chapter 331

Qiao Nian could understand what the emperor meant.

The so-called world is unpredictable, no one can know what will happen in the future.

But at least, she doesn't want to at the moment.

Seeing Qiao Nian fell silent again, the emperor felt bored and was about to let her leave, but unexpectedly, a young eunuch suddenly came in from outside the imperial study. He saluted the emperor and then said, "Revelation." Your Majesty, King Pingyang wants to see you."

The emperor's face couldn't help but reveal a bit of helplessness.

Chu Zhiyi made it very clear last time that he wanted to protect Qiao Nian, so this time, he deliberately chose a time when Chu Zhiyi was not around to call him into the palace.

I didn't expect that boy to receive the news so quickly.

At that moment, he couldn't help but waved his hand, "You go back first! Let King Pingyang come in to see me."

"yes."

Qiao Nian bowed and left.

But before leaving the imperial study, she still raised her eyes to look at the emperor.

Seeing that the latter didn't seem very angry, I felt a little relieved.

Chu Zhiyi was standing outside the imperial study room. When he saw Qiao Nian coming out, he couldn't help but take a look at her.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about her expression, I guess the emperor brother didn't make things difficult for her.

She really didn't know why the emperor had summoned her to the palace. She was about to ask, but before she could speak, Qiao Nian had already approached him.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the eunuch on the side would hear him, Qiao Nian came very close, his little face was full of seriousness, "The emperor doesn't seem to be very angry, but the king's heart is unpredictable, so Brother Bai should be more careful."

It was already evening, and the setting sun was hanging in the sky, casting a golden-red light, which also illuminated her face very red.

Chu Zhiyi felt a little joyful for no reason. He looked at her and nodded slightly, "Go back home and wait for me."

"Yes." Qiao Nian nodded obediently before leaving.

When Chu Zhiyi saw her walking away, he turned around and entered the imperial study.

"My brother pays homage to the emperor."

He bowed politely, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the emperor was reviewing the memorial, with no intention of asking him to get up.

He didn't even raise his eyelids and just said in a calm tone, "I rushed here in such a hurry. Why, can I eat her?"

Chu Zhiyi lowered his eyebrows and said, "My brother, I don't dare."

But since he said he would protect her, he naturally had to be considerate at every turn.

What's more, the emperor suddenly summoned her to the palace for unknown reasons. It was normal for him to be worried.

"snort!"

The emperor snorted coldly, obviously not believing Chu Zhiyi's words of 'dare not'.

But she still didn't want to let him kneel for a long time, and still said, "Get up!"

Chu Zhiyi saluted and stood up, then listened to the emperor ask, "Have you been to the Ministry of War?"

Chu Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment, then said "Yeah" in a deep voice, and then said nothing.

Seeing Chu Zhiyi fell silent. The emperor finally put down the pen in his hand and looked at him, "Then what do you think?"

"The Turks have repeatedly invaded and should be attacked."

"I think so too." The emperor took a deep breath, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Those barbarians frequently disturb the peace of the people on my border. I not only want to beat them, but also defeat them all at once. ! Let them not dare to offend me again!"

Otherwise, those shameless Turks will still disturb the peace of the border people again and again!

The emperor's high-pitched voice suddenly stopped, and the royal study fell into a deathly silence.

Chu Zhiyi still didn't say a word, silent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him!

The emperor only made his eyebrows tighten, and finally showed a bit of disapproval, "What do you mean? Show your attitude!"

Chu Zhiyi then looked at the emperor and said in a deep voice, "Brother, the emperor wants me to command the army?"

Although it was a question, there was not even a hint of doubt in his tone.

The emperor thought that Chu Zhiyi felt embarrassed.

After all, the Five Kings Rebellion gave Chu Zhiyi inner demons. He thought that maybe Chu Zhiyi would never want to pick up a weapon and go to the battlefield again in his life.

At that moment, he sighed slightly, "Originally, Xiao Heng should naturally fight this battle, but you have also seen that Xiao Heng's current situation, let alone fighting, even whether he can get out of bed is a problem."

As for Xiao He, he had been paralyzed for five years and had just recovered. How could he be so cruel and send people to the battlefield again?

What if I get injured again?

It's not like there are no other generals in the court.

But which expedition can make the Turks frightened and defeat the Turks?

After much thought, Chu Zhiyi was the most suitable person.

Chu Zhiyi naturally understood, but said, "What I mean is that the emperor dares to let my brother take over the military power?"

During the Five Kings Rebellion, someone deliberately instigated the relationship between the emperor and several other princes. In addition, those princes more or less held military power, so that the emperor almost became a piece of cake on the chopping board. , at the mercy of others.

With such a tragic precedent, how could the emperor not be wary at all?

What's more, he is Chu Zhiyi, the same Chu Zhiyi who once defeated many with less and killed the rebels in front of their horses!

Isn’t the emperor afraid that he will repeat the same mistakes again, and is he not afraid that Chu Zhiyi will start another ‘Five Kings Rebellion’?

You know, if Chu Zhiyi really wants to rebel, no one around the emperor can stop him!

Chu Zhiyi asked in a very calm tone.

But the emperor felt a little panicked.

But this panic did not come from Chu Zhiyi, but from the deep chill in the emperor's heart.

He has been telling himself that Chu Zhiyi is his only brother now, he has to trust him and protect him!

But which of the five people who started the rebellion and almost killed him under the dragon throne was not his half-brother?

Once a person stands in the supreme position, he will look at everyone with a trace of suspicion.

Suspicion that the person wants to push him down from that high position!

Even if the other party is the one who once protected his throne with his own strength!

When the four eyes met, the emperor seemed to see the most real self in Chu Zhiyi's eyes.

Suspicious, cowardly, indifferent...

But soon, he returned to his usual majestic appearance, and said in a deep voice, "You are my brother, why should I not dare?"

Even if I don't dare, what can I do?

Can I let the Turks continue to do evil and let the people continue to suffer?

As the ruler of a country, if he can't even protect his own people, he might as well not be the emperor!

What's more...

Even if the emperor has doubts in his heart, he knows better that Chu Zhiyi is different from other brothers.

The emperor's answer made Chu Zhiyi frown.

But he bowed and said, "Since the emperor trusts me, I will obey your orders."

However, he won't be able to come back for a year or two, and Qiao Nian still needs to be arranged.

Otherwise, if he leaves Beijing, Xiao Heng will be reckless.
