Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

"Ahhh, bastard!"

Aluta screamed.

"what are you doing?"

The second prince looked at Zhou Chuxuan in panic. If this fool messed things up, his father would skin him alive!

"Didn't you ask me to smash this, second brother?"

Zhou Chuxuan said with a grin.

"you!"

"Nonsense!"

"When did I ever tell you to attack the Khan?"

The second prince broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained.

"Just now!"

Zhou Chuxuan raised his head, sat down on the ground and stretched out his legs.

"Second brother... do you think I'm accurate?"

"Okay, okay! Second Prince of the Wu Dynasty, what's your explanation?"

Aluta climbed up with rage in his eyes.

"Is this the sincerity of your Wu Dynasty? Is this how you treat your guests?"

"This this……"

The second prince was almost crying with anxiety. This was not his intention at all.

"Great Khan, please forgive me, my brother is a fool!"

"Please don't mind, Khan!"

"Humph, on such an important day, Wu Chao actually allowed a fool to block my way and attack me!"

"Could it be that the Wu Dynasty intends to start a war with my Alutai tribe?"

Swish swish!

The grassland cavalry behind him all showed their snow-white swords.

The neighing of war horses was so loud that it reached the sky.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.

Officials at all levels were sweating in their hands.

If the second prince fails to handle this matter properly, it is very likely that the two countries will go to war.

At this time, the second prince was at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Aluta approached the second prince step by step, and the sword at his waist was slowly unsheathed.

"Protect the Second Prince!"

The surrounding soldiers stepped forward and protected the second prince behind them.

A cunning smile appeared on Aluta's face.

"It seems that the Wu Dynasty is indeed insincere! Then don't blame this Khan..."

Before he could finish, a deep voice rang out from a distance: "What is the Khan's intention in showing his sword to our Wu Dynasty?"

Everyone turned around and saw Emperor Wu slowly walking out of the Taiji Hall.

He was dressed in a shining dragon robe, walking with his head held high, and the crown on his head sparkled with a sacred light in the sun.

"His Majesty the Emperor Wu of the Wu Dynasty is truly majestic!"

"He is truly a great leader!"

Facing Emperor Wu, Aluta put on a forced smile and slowly put away his sword. The grassland cavalrymen behind him dismounted and put away their scimitars.

The tense atmosphere at the scene was finally eased.

"Alutai Khan, please!"

Emperor Wu did not ask any further questions. He slowly stretched out his hand and moved aside.

"go!"

Aluta led his people past the officials without looking around, as if he was going home.

After the people from the grassland tribe had passed by, Emperor Wu turned to the Second Prince and Zhou Chuxuan and questioned them in a low-pressure tone.

"I ordered you to welcome the Northern Desert delegation, and this is what you did? Knowing that our Wu Dynasty was at a disadvantage, you still provoked them to draw their swords against us?"

"Father, it's all Old Six's fault! He was the one who shot Arutai Khan's horse with a slingshot!"

The second prince immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Feeling the Emperor Wu's sharp gaze, Zhou Chuxuan licked his fingers and pointed at the Second Prince with a silly smile on his face.

"Yes...it was my second brother who asked me to do it!"

"Ok?"

The Second Prince was startled, and before he could say anything, he felt the Emperor Wu's fiery gaze on him.

"Father, I am wronged! How could I possibly order the Sixth Master to do such a thing?"

The second prince knelt down hurriedly and defended himself with a pale face.

"Old Six is ​​stupid, what he said is unbelievable!"

Emperor Wu looked at the Second Prince with disappointment: "Since you knew that the Sixth Prince was stupid, why would he take the initiative to frame you?"

"Humph!"

"I will come back to you to settle the score for this matter later!"

After saying this, Emperor Wu waved his sleeves, turned around and led the officials into the Taiji Hall.

Zhou Chuxuan also followed behind happily, with a gleam of light in the depths of his eyes.

The second prince stood up right after him, but dared not say a word.

"I never imagined that the Khan of the Arutai tribe would personally enter the Wu Dynasty to negotiate!"

Emperor Wu looked at the brave and powerful man in front of him with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Should he say that the other party was arrogant, or that the other party was confident?

"Your Majesty, natural disasters are so frequent these days that I have no choice but to borrow grain from the Wu Dynasty!"

Alutai raised his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, please don't mind!"

"The Wu Dynasty has also suffered from disasters for years, and the people are living in misery! If you ask about the surplus food..." Emperor Wu smiled. Although he didn't finish his words, his meaning was clear.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, the Alutai tribe has come here with sincerity!"

Alutai sneered: "We have prepared a lot of rare treasures in the convoy outside to make up for the losses of Wu Dynasty!"

"Okay, okay!"

Zhou Chuxuan's foolish voice suddenly rang out in the Taiji Hall.

Everyone's expressions changed.

Even Emperor Wu's pupils contracted, and he shouted sternly, "Shut up!"

When Alutai saw that it was this guy again, he immediately showed an unhappy look on his face: "Your Majesty, this person..."

"Great Khan, please forgive me, my youngest son is an idiot!"

Emperor Wu frowned, thinking that Zhou Chuxuan would bring him some different gains in the hall.

It seems that I still think too much.

The speech at the court meeting was just an accidental success!

"Your Highness, please return with me!"

An old eunuch received a signal from Emperor Wu and pulled Zhou Chuxuan away.

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes stayed on the banquet, and he kept shouting: "Eat pork elbow...eat..."

As he spoke, he had already grabbed a braised pork elbow and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The eunuch was almost knocked over and could not pull the person away, so he could only retreat in panic.

The entire banquet was disrupted, and no one was in the mood to talk. Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Chuxuan.

Zhou Chuxuan was still holding the elbow and gnawing on it with his mouth full of oil. He looked at Emperor Wu with a smile, but a thought flashed through his mind.

He wants to take a gamble!

Let’s take a gamble on Emperor Wu’s intentions.

"Forget it, excuse me for laughing at you all!"

Emperor Wu waved his hand, his tone relaxed. "Great Khan, if our Wu Dynasty agrees to lend grain to the Arutai tribe, can we send tens of thousands of troops to the northern border..."

"Your Majesty, Emperor Wu, do not worry. The troops in the northern border are only for training purposes!"

Aluta picked up the wine glass again and drank it all, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Emperor Wu's face darkened.

This Aluta looks rough and bold, but he is actually extremely meticulous!

Even though he agreed to lend the grain, he never agreed to withdraw the troops, and only spoke vaguely. In this case, wouldn't lending grain to Beimo be like drinking poison to quench thirst?

"How about this!"

Alutai suddenly stood up, his brows full of pride. He glanced around at the civil and military officials and said with a smile, "It is said that the people of the Wu Dynasty are the best in the world in terms of both civil and military skills!"

"Then I will ask a few questions. If the people of Wu Dynasty can answer them, not only will we no longer have to borrow food, but we can also withdraw our troops from the northern border!"

"how?"

Civil and military officials looked at each other, wondering what Aluta was going to do.

"it is good!"

Emperor Wu immediately made the decision, "It's a deal!"

But Aluta walked to the center of the banquet and stood there, holding up a wine glass, looking at Emperor Wu and smiling.

"I've heard that the people of the Wu Dynasty admire poetry and songs. I studied them quite a bit when I was young!"

"How about showing off a pair of couplets today?"

"The first line of the couplet is, 'Two monkeys are cutting wood in the forest, how dare the little monkeys saw against each other?'"

Aluta faced Emperor Wu, his brows full of sarcasm.

The civil and military officials all looked even uglier. It was obvious that Aluta was mocking His Majesty the Emperor Wu and the people of the Wu Dynasty as little monkeys!

"Hahaha!"

Aluta's subordinates burst into laughter, and the banquet was filled with sarcasm.

"My dear ministers, who dares to challenge me?"

Emperor Wu's face was gloomy as he glanced at his civil and military ministers.

All the ministers lowered their heads and dared not say anything. At this time, everyone is just a little monkey, right?
