Xiao Jingyao sneered without comment and looked out the window: "Whether this king or other vassal kings have to be forced to retreat, how could he choose this path?"
Chen Rui fell into a long silence, and the heavens and man in his heart fought.
He could understand the choice of Luoyang King, but he could not accept that Luoyang King would eventually embark on this path!
Chen Rui could not help but feel surging in his heart and raised his voice: "Prince, Chen has always respected you and admired you, but the prince led the kings to raise troops. This is a rebellious act. Could it be that the prince would rather be a rebellious minister. Thieves?"
He knew that this statement might anger the King of Luoyang, but he still wanted to say it, both for the King of Luoyang and for himself!
Just as the King of Luoyang regards him as his close friend, he also regards the King of Luoyang as his close friend. It is precisely because of this that he advises the prince in this way that he does not want the prince to rebel because of his impulse and rise up and rebel. He is scolded and trampled on himself. A lifetime of heroic reputation!
Xiao Jingyao retracted his gaze, turned around and saw Chen Rui's indignation, but smiled faintly, saying: "The emperor is not kind, but believes in treacherous ministers and plots to murder loyal ministers. The world will be in chaos and the people will suffer. Should I let it go Let me go to chaos?"
Chen Rui was stunned and was speechless by Xiao Jingyao's words.
Without waiting for Chen Rui to answer, Xiao Jingyao continued: "There are strong enemies outside and our Dayin are eyeing us, the emperor is unkind, the court is in chaos, and the people are dispersed. I have never felt that I made a mistake in such a choice!"
"But has the prince ever thought about what the consequences would be if the army failed this time? Isn't the prince afraid? If it fails, not only will the records of the rioters be left in history, but the bones will be gone?" Chen Rui He could not argue for the injustice of the current priest, and he thought for a moment, then frowned and asked.
Xiao Jingyao smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "The ancients said that a kind-hearted man would not seek survival to harm others, but would kill himself to achieve good deeds... Since you make such a decision, you should have the courage to bear all possible consequences!"
Xiao Jingyao's firm tone shocked Chen Rui's heart. Chen Rui almost didn't think much, so he blurted out: "Mr. Chen admires the prince's courage to die, but Prince, you are not alone now, you still have a princess, don't you care about yourself Do you don’t care about the safety of the princess in life or death?!”
He was anxious for a moment and did not even realize that his concern for Wei Zijin was beyond reason. When he thought that Wei Zijin was still pregnant, the King of Luoyang wanted to lead the kings to rise up and rebel, Chen Rui couldn't help but worry for Wei Zijin!
Xiao Jingyao seemed to have not expected that Chen Rui would suddenly mention Wei Zijin to him, and looked at him thoughtfully, with a complex look flashing in his eyes.
Chen Rui realized that he seemed to be overreacting, so he calmed down for a while before continuing to persuade: "Mr. Chen thought that the prince has always cared for the princess and would not be blinded by this imperial power, so he would ignore the princess!"
"Yes, she is the only woman I love most in my life, so how could I ignore her?" Xiao Jingyao was not angry because of his words, but instead looked much gentler when he mentioned her.
But when his eyes looked at Chen Rui again, he regained his usual wisdom.
"Brother Chen, she is not a woman raised in the deep boudoir. I have ambitions, and she also has ambitions. Do you understand?"
