Chapter 118: Building momentum and impeachment, Chu Zhenzhou can't sit still
Chu Zhenzhou's face was gloomy, as if a dark cloud was rolling over his handsome face.
"This seventh brother is getting bolder and bolder! He thinks that he can shake my foundation by gaining some false reputation? Ridiculous!"
He smashed the grapes in his hand hard on the ground, and the juice splashed everywhere, just like his mood at the moment.
"Your Highness, calm down,"
A man dressed in green and wearing a turban stepped forward and said, "Seventh Prince's move is just a bluff."
"bluff?"
Chu Zhenzhou snorted coldly, "He now occupies Qiongzhou and has conquered Black Wind Ridge. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands. This is not just bluffing!"
"Your Highness, although the Seventh Prince has a large number of soldiers and horses, they are just a motley crowd. How can they compete with the elite troops of our Great Zhou?"
The blue-robed strategist analyzed calmly, "What's more, he is far away overseas, and food and supplies are all problems. As long as we cut off his supply, he will be defeated without a fight within three months!"
Chu Zhenzhou's expression eased a little, but his brows were still furrowed. "That being said, we can't do this. If the world knew that I was hindering the fight against foreign tribes, I'm afraid my time as the crown prince would be over."
"Pass the order down, and let the second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother lead the army to Luoyang City immediately."
"Tell them to keep a close eye on Chu Yun's every move! If he dares to act rashly, destroy him on the spot!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
A cold light flashed in the blue-clothed strategist's eyes, and he bowed and retreated.
Chu Zhenzhou looked at the sky outside the window and thought to himself, "Seventh brother, seventh brother, we are brothers. We could have shared the glory and wealth together, but you chose to go against me. Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
Just when Chu Zhenzhou was thinking about how to deal with Chu Yang.
A man who looked like a servant ran in hurriedly, knelt on the ground, and spoke in a panic.
"Your Highness, it's not good! Something bad is going to happen!"
"What are you panicking about! Is the sky falling?" Chu Zhenzhou shouted unhappily, "If you have something to say, speak slowly!"
The servant said tremblingly: "Your Highness, those old guys in the court have jointly written a letter to impeach... impeach Your Highness."
"what?!"
Chu Zhenzhou was furious. He stood up abruptly, grabbed the servant by the collar, and shouted, "Why are they impeaching me? I am the Crown Prince Regent now. Are they trying to rebel?!"
The servant was so frightened by Chu Zhenzhou's anger that he trembled and stammered, "Your Highness, please calm down. What they said was very unpleasant. They said that you were greedy for pleasure and ignored the affairs of state. They also said that you..."
"What else can you say?!"
"They also said that you were extremely licentious and murderous of loyal people."
The servant's voice became quieter and quieter until it was almost inaudible.
"Presumptuous! Simply presumptuous!"
Chu Zhenzhou was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pushed the servant to the ground and said, "These old guys are really tired of living! Do you really think I dare not touch them?!"
"Your Highness, calm down,"
The blue-robed counselor who had been standing silently by the side stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know who are impeaching His Highness?"
"Who else could it be?
"Chu Zhenzhou gnashed his teeth and said, "Apart from those old stubborn people, who else would dare to go against me? They don't even look at the time now. Now that my several royal brothers are not in Kyoto, who else can compete with me? ! "
"Your Highness, I think this matter may not be that simple."
The blue-robed counselor frowned, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Though those old officials are pedantic, they would not make such an unwise move at this time."
"What's more, they are all senior officials in the court and have great reputation in the court and the country. If there is no solid evidence, they dare not easily impeach His Highness."
Chu Zhenzhou calmed down and thought about it carefully. He also felt that there was something strange about this matter. "What do you mean, sir..."
"I suspect there may be something else behind this."
The blue-robed counselor lowered his voice and said, "Now in the court, apart from those old ministers, what other forces dare to oppose Your Highness?"
"Are you saying this is the old subordinate of the Third Brother?!"
Chu Zhenzhou suddenly thought of something, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.
"Exactly."
The blue-robed counselor nodded. "Although the Third Prince is in Nanling, he has been in the court for many years, and his students and former officials are all over the court and the country. It is not difficult for him to incite some old officials to impeach Your Highness."
"This third brother is really calculating!"
Chu Zhenzhou gnashed his teeth in anger, "It seems that he can't wait any longer and wants to take my life while I'm sick!"
"Your Highness, how should we deal with the current situation?"
Chu Zhenzhou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly: "Since the third brother wants to play, then I will play with him! Pass the order down, check it for me! I want to see who is behind this!"
"I'll check right away!"
The blue-robed counselor took the order and left.
At this time, Chu Zhenzhou did not expect that Chu Yang would not only resist foreign tribes, but also build momentum for himself.
Letting the third brother destroy his own foundation is really a good plan!
the other side.
The sea breeze was howling and the waves were hitting the side of the boat, making a deafening sound.
Chu Yang stood on the deck of the warship "Hailong", dressed in military uniform, looking at the vast ocean in front of him, with a heart full of heroic spirit.
The Hailong warship is Zhou Yu's masterpiece. Its hull is slender and sturdy, like a giant dragon, breaking through the waves.
On the deck, thousands of soldiers were lined up in neat rows. Each of them was strong and powerful, with firm eyes, and exuded a murderous aura.
"Your Highness, how should we write the manifesto to the world this time?"
Shangguan Wan'er walked up to Chu Yang and asked softly.
"Just say that I will lead the army to conquer Japan and eliminate the evil for the people. The Crown Prince and my brothers all support me. In this way, the siege of Luoyang City will be solved."
Chu Yang looked into the distance, his tone calm, yet revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly when she heard this, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Chu Yang's move can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can both boost morale and resolve the crisis in Luoyang City.
It can also be used as an opportunity to test the attitudes of the Crown Prince and other princes.
"Your Highness, that's a good idea. Wan'er will do it right away."
Shangguan Wan'er bowed, turned and left, her skirt drawing a graceful arc in the sea breeze.
soon.
The news of Chu Yang sending troops to Japan spread throughout the streets and alleys, becoming a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.
"Have you heard? His Highness the Seventh Prince is going to lead his troops to fight the Japanese!"
"Is it true? That's a long journey across the ocean. Are you sure, Your Highness?"
"Of course I am sure! Who is the Seventh Prince? He is the invincible God of War!"
"More importantly, this time the Crown Prince and several other princes fully support His Highness the Seventh Prince. It looks like there is hope for the Great Zhou!"
The people were talking about it and were full of expectations for Chu Yang's expedition.
They had long hated the Japanese, and now that Chu Yang was willing to stand up for them, they were naturally delighted.
