Chapter 154: Crown Prince Chu Zhenzhou is anxious! So what if he is plotting treason!
"Please stand up quickly, everyone. As the crown prince, I cannot sit idly by! But my father is still partial to him, so we need to make a long-term plan!"
"Prince, what are you still planning? Just lead the troops and kill him!" a burly general shouted.
"Shut up!"
The Minister of Personnel glared at him, "What do you know? This is a serious crime of treason. Without the order of Your Majesty, who dares to act rashly?!"
The military general was yelled at by the Minister of Personnel and immediately shrank his neck and dared not say anything.
"In your opinion, Lord Zhang, what should we do about this matter?" Chu Zhenzhou asked.
The Minister of Personnel stroked his beard and said slowly: "Prince, the only way now is to convince His Majesty and make him completely disappointed in Chu Yang."
"Then we will jointly submit a petition to impeach Chu Yang for his self-reliance and the intention of rebellion."
"By then, even if Your Majesty favors him, you will no longer be able to shield him!"
"What Mr. Zhang said is true!"
A minister also nodded and agreed, "Chu Yang is still young, so we can take this opportunity to completely eliminate him and prevent future troubles!"
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Chu Zhenzhou slammed the table, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Tomorrow morning, I will make a suggestion to my father. When the time comes, I hope you gentlemen can lend me a helping hand!"
"Don't worry, Prince. We will do our best!" everyone responded in unison.
Day two.
The atmosphere in the Golden Throne Hall was extremely solemn.
Chu Zhenzhou changed his previous dandy image, stood up seriously and reported to Emperor Yongning.
"Father, I have something to report!"
"What's the matter?"
Emperor Yongning felt somewhat surprised when he looked at his son who had always been uneducated.
"Father, I have found out that my seventh brother Chu Yang has a large army in Qiongzhou and intends to attack Yuenan Kingdom under the pretext of suppressing a rebellion."
"I think he is using his old tricks again. Once he gathers his troops, he will probably head north!"
As soon as Chu Zhenzhou said this, it caused an uproar in the Golden Palace.
"What?! How dare this rebellious son?!"
Emperor Yongning was furious. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Chu Zhenzhou's nose and cursed, "Does he still have me, his father, in his eyes?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince's actions are truly treasonous!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to send troops to defeat the rebels!"
All of a sudden, all the ministers knelt on the ground and asked Emperor Yongning to issue an order to attack Chuyang.
Emperor Yongning looked at the scene in front of him, his heart burning with anger, yet vaguely uneasy.
Although his seventh son was not favored by him since childhood, he was a brave and resourceful man. He made great military achievements in this expedition to Japan. Now he is famous and deeply loved by the people.
If we send out troops to attack now, what if...
When Emperor Yongning thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
"Father, my seventh brother is clearly trying to emulate the Emperor Taizu, first pacifying the southern barbarians, then marching north to unify the country!"
Seeing that Emperor Yongning was a little hesitant, Chu Zhenzhou quickly added fuel to the fire.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongning was immediately horrified, "He...he really has the guts?!"
"Father, it is better to believe it than not to believe it!"
Chu Zhenzhou knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, "I beg you, father, to issue an order immediately to send troops to attack the rebels and capture my seventh brother Chu Yang!"
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Yongning slammed the dragon throne so hard that the Golden Palace was buzzing. "You rebellious son, you still dare to teach me how to do things?!"
Chu Zhenzhou was frightened. He didn't expect his father to be so angry. He stood there for a moment, at a loss as to what to do.
"I am not so senile that I need you to tell me what to do! I have my own arrangements for Chu Yang's affairs!"
Emperor Yongning was furious, pointing at Chu Zhenzhou's nose and cursing, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out of here and go back to your East Palace!"
"Father, calm down..."
Chu Zhenzhou was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground, but his heart was full of resentment.
This old man is getting more and more confused as he grows older. Can't he see that Chu Yang is the real threat? !
Emperor Yongning snorted coldly and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the ministers below and said in a deep voice.
"We will discuss this matter later. I am adjourning the court!"
After leaving the court.
Chu Zhenzhou had a gloomy face and went straight back to the East Palace.
"Your Highness, His Majesty..."
A trusted eunuch asked cautiously.
"Humph, the old man is really confused!"
Chu Zhenzhou kicked over the incense burner beside him and said angrily, "Does he think Chu Yang is a good guy? Wait, when Chu Yang is fully grown, the first person he will deal with is him, his father!"
"So what should we do now?" asked the trusted eunuch.
"Humph, since you, old man, don't blame me for being rude!"
Chu Zhenzhou's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Go contact the Minister of War and tell him that I have something important to discuss with you!"
"Yes!" The trusted eunuch took the order and left.
Qiongzhou thousands of miles away.
The climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful.
Chu Yang was sitting in the study at this time, listening to the prompt sound coming from the system in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for taking Ise Castle, Mount Fushi, Kyushu Island, the capital of Japan, and Japan....]
Chu Yang felt a little numb after hearing the series of system prompts.
"These Japanese monkeys are really vulnerable."
"It seems the plague worked. These guys died hard!"
Chu Yang shook his head and smiled, feeling overjoyed!
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining three military commander summoning cards, three civil servant summoning cards, and three army summoning cards. ]
"Oh? The reward this time is pretty good."
Chu Yang was interested, but he didn't rush to use it. Instead, he saved it temporarily.
He knew that he needed to recuperate and accumulate strength, and when the time was right, he would march north to avenge his previous defeat!
Think of this.
Chu Yang stood up and walked out of the study, ready to go see Yang Yuhuan.
Ever since he brought her back from Nanling City, Chu Yang had been keeping her in his mansion, providing her with good food and drink, but there was always a veil between the two of them.
Chu Yang knew that there was always a thorn in Yang Yuhuan's heart, and that was her cousin, Sun Fengtian.
Although Sun Fengtian surrendered to Chu Yang out of helplessness, Yang Yuhuan always felt that Chu Yang was her enemy in the attempt to seize the city.
"Ah, women's hearts are like the sea's needle. They are really hard to deal with."
Chu Yang sighed, came to Yang Yuhuan's room and knocked on the door gently.
"Who?"
Yang Yuhuan's cold voice came from the room.
"It's me." Chu Yang said lightly.
The door opened, and Yang Yuhuan, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the door, looking elegant and refined, like a banished immortal.
"Is there anything wrong, Your Highness?"
Seeing Chu Yang coming, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Yuhuan's eyes.
"Nothing, just came to see you."
Chu Yang had a warm smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the coldness in Yang Yuhuan's tone at all, "You've been through a long journey, thank you for your hard work."
Hearing this, a complicated look flashed in Yang Yuhuan's eyes, but she didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
"It just so happens that I also have something to say to His Highness."
After a moment's silence, Yang Yuhuan suddenly spoke.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Chu Yang's heart moved. Could it be that there was some movement from Sun Fengtian again?
"It's like this. The last time Your Highness went on an expedition to Japan, didn't he bring a lot of local gentry and celebrities to watch the ceremony? I had nothing better to do, so I got to know them..."
Yang Yuhuan paused, as if organizing her words.
“And then?” Chu Yang was puzzled. What was there to say about knowing some local celebrities?
"I found that among them, there seems to be... one person that Your Highness should be very interested in."
"Who?"
Chu Yang was even more confused. Who on earth could make Yang Yuhuan take this matter so seriously?
"Her name is Diao Chan."
