Tang Ning originally thought that she would have to deal with twists and turns with him for a long time, but she didn't expect Emperor Chu to be so straightforward, which actually made him feel a little embarrassed.
When Emperor Chu saw that he actually showed an emotional expression, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "Sure enough, this is your purpose. Have you already settled everything?"
Tangning looked serious and asked, "Your Majesty is joking, do you think I can bribe your potential prince to cooperate with me in this play?"
After he finished speaking, another smile appeared on his face and he said: "However, the prince and quasi-prince of your country have the same virtue..."
"This matter is due to a breach of etiquette in our country of Chu." Emperor Chu glanced at him and asked, "What do you, Xiaowan, want to explain?"
Tangning looked at him and said, "It all depends on Chu State's sincerity..."
Emperor Chu snorted coldly and asked, "What if Chu State is not sincere?"
Tang Ning said: "Then Xiaowan won't give up."
A sneer appeared on Emperor Chu's face, and he said: "I want to see how you can't give up..."
Tangning looked at the suddenly tough Emperor Chu, thought for a moment, and asked, "Don't you regret it and want to use our Xiaowan to mess up the matter of the future prince?"
Put yourself in his shoes, if he were the Emperor of Chu, he would not want to hand over the country that he had finally stabilized to such a person.
But Jun Wuxi said that he himself could not rescind this decision for no reason, but if the matter was made a big deal through Xiao Wan's hands, it would be logical for him to retract the holy order at the same time.
After Tang Ning revealed his thoughts, Emperor Chu's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Do you think I would use such a clumsy method?"
"No." Although Tang Ning felt that it was true in her heart, when she said it now, he would probably become angry and had to say: "But I will not give up Lan Lan. If you don't agree, I will not leave Chu country for a day...
"
Emperor Chu glanced at him and asked, "You don't want the Western Region anymore?"
Tang Ning said: "If I have to make a choice between the Western Region and Lanlan, I choose Lanlan."
Outside the hall, after hearing his words, a figure standing in front of the window had a smile on his face.
Emperor Chu glanced at him, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Since you like Lan Lan so much, it would seem wrong of me if I disagree... However, I have a condition. If you don't agree, this matter will not be resolved."
No need to mention it again."
Having already reached this point, Tangning naturally would not give up and immediately asked, "What are the conditions?"
Emperor Chu said: "The first son you two give birth to must be named Li. After he is three years old, he will be brought to me."
Tangning looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Emperor Chu looked at him and said: "Since the Chu royal family does not have a talented heir, I will cultivate one myself!"
How could she bear to let her own son stay away from her? Tangning looked at Emperor Chu and suggested, "Why don't you give birth to one by yourself? You are now in your prime, so powerful..."
Emperor Chu glared at her, causing Tangning to swallow her next words.
He looked at Emperor Chu's expression and knew that if he didn't agree to this matter, he would be determined not to let him get his wish.
He thought for a while and said: "This is not my matter alone. I need to discuss it with Lanlan."
Emperor Chu gave an order, and Li Tianlan arrived here quickly.
Although the two argued hard, the Emperor of Chu remained unmoved. They tried their best to extend the three-year period to five years, but he refused to retreat at all.
In desperation, Tang Ning had no choice but to agree. What would happen in five years was still uncertain, so she had to agree first, and only after passing the current hurdle was the most important thing.
After finalizing the matter, the relationship between Tang Ning and Emperor Chu immediately eased. Emperor Chu not only welcomed him with a smile, but even allowed him to eat in the palace.
The new mother-in-law looked at him very strangely. After all, the last time she saw him, he was just a minor official in the Chen Kingdom. After meeting again after a few years, he was already the leader of the Xiaowan Kingdom and one of the few people on this continent.
There are many people who stand at the top of power.
When Emperor Chu was halfway through eating, he put down his chopsticks and asked, "Now that you are the leader of the Xiaowan Kingdom, how do you plan to treat the Chen Kingdom?"
Tang Ning said: "The people of both countries long for peace. The hostile relationship between Xiaowan and Chen is in the past..."
Emperor Chu nodded and asked again: "Are you going back to Chen Kingdom?"
Tangning smiled and said, "I have to go back. There are some things that need to be dealt with."
Li Tianlan glanced at him cryptically, but did not reveal it.
Emperor Chu picked up the chopsticks again and said: "Today is no different than in the past, so be careful when you go back."
The queen glanced at him and asked: "Even if this child is in Chen State, he is still a general and prime minister, so why should he be careful?"
"When all the birds are gone, good bows are hidden..." Emperor Chu said: "After the grassland is stabilized, the Western Region is already the last enemy of Chen State. Without foreign enemies, Zhao Zheng no longer needs any powerful general..."
Tangning nodded and said, "I will be careful..."
In fact, he had already expected that there would be some unpleasantness between him and Emperor Chen when he returned to Chen Kingdom this time.
Even if there is no bird ending, Gongzang, what Emperor Chen wants is for Tang Ning to stay in the Chen Kingdom and continue to assist the next emperor. This is contrary to Tang Ning's idea. If Tang Ning does not obey his arrangement, he will not let Tang Ning easily take over.
Zhao Man was taken away. If it weren't for the other gains from this trip to the Western Regions, he would still have some trouble when he returned to Chen State and wanted to take Zhao Man away.
The meal was enjoyable. Before leaving, Emperor Chu stopped Tang Ning and gave him a look.
Tangning waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me..."
…
Two major events have happened in Kyoto recently.
First, His Majesty and the imperial court have selected a candidate for the crown prince. Crown Prince Xian comes to Beijing and will be crowned crown prince soon after.
The second thing is still related to Prince Xian.
When Crown Prince Xian was in Xianzhou, he molested Princess Xiaowan and besieged and killed the king of Xiaowan. After coming to the capital, he framed the king of Xiaowan and arrested the king of Xiaowan to the Ministry of Punishment. It can be said that he was extremely bold...
The king and princess were insulted in Chu State. Xiaowan's envoy was furious and chased the Chu court to demand an explanation. The Chu officials' heads were as big as buckets.
Today's Xiaowan is already a big country that is not inferior to Chu State. Any small contradiction may break out into a national conflict.
At the same time, some different voices emerged from both the people and the court. The dignified quasi-prince of Chu had such a low conduct. Could it be that this country would be handed over to such a person in the future?
Some people and officials jointly submitted a letter, begging the court and His Majesty not to treat the country's future as a child's play and to withdraw the canonization order...
His Majesty has always taken public opinion into consideration and quickly discussed the results with ministers.
As a member of the royal family, Prince Xian acted daringly and lawlessly, seriously hurting the feelings of his allies. Prince Xian was ineffective in discipline, and he had an unshirkable responsibility. From then on, he was demoted to a county prince. At the same time, Prince Xian was also deprived of his qualifications as a crown prince.
, from now on, we will return to our fiefdom and cannot enter the capital unless summoned...
In the main hall, Crown Prince Xian was kneeling on the ground, his face pale and his expression dull...
His position as the prince came suddenly, but in the end it became a dream.
He held the imperial edict in his hand and knelt there blankly, as if his soul had been pulled out of his whole body...
