Chapter 9. Upward

The next day.

Not long after dawn, Chu Junye woke up from his sleep, and Wen Muyan in his arms was still asleep. He looked down at his warm eyebrows, and felt a sense of peace in his heart. He only hoped for such a quiet and peaceful day able to continue.

Suddenly, the person in his arms moved, as if he was about to wake up. Chu Junye chuckled, lowered his head, and kissed those thin lips. The soft touch made him nostalgic, and the person in his arms also Woke up completely by his action.Wen Muyan rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up at him in a daze, as if he was still awake.

"Woke you up? Let's sleep for a while." Chu Junye said in a soft voice. Although he really wanted to sleep with his princess for a while, but the time for court came, he had to get up and enter the palace.

Wen Muyan was also awake at this time, he sat up with Chu Junye, wanted to put on clothes but was pushed back on the bed by him, and looked up at him suspiciously.

"It's still early, go to sleep for a while, you're tired from looking at the account books two days ago, don't rush to get up, I'll have breakfast with you when I come back from court." Seeing him looking at him, Chu Junye explained patiently road.Ever since the manager handed over all the affairs of the palace to his own princess, he has never been free, and naturally he has never had a good night's sleep. After finally reading the account books, he must be allowed to have a good rest.

Wen Muyan was lying on the bed, and he had no choice but to nod slightly when he heard the words. He was indeed a little tired from looking at the account books these days, but fortunately, they were sorted out yesterday with the help of Chu Junye.

Chu Junye got up and put on his clothes. Looking back, he saw his princess lying sideways on the bed and staring at him. His heart softened suddenly. He walked over to tuck in the quilt, and then bent down to press a kiss on the fair forehead.

"I'm leaving, you have a good rest." After speaking, Chu Junye got up and left.

After washing, Chu Junye came to the palace, and soon the emperor arrived. After all the ministers knelt down and worshiped, the court affairs discussions began. At the beginning, they were all trivial matters. Don't wait, Chu Junye almost fell asleep in the hall after listening.

At this time, an old minister suddenly stood up and said that he had something to report, the emperor waved his hand to let him speak, and then the man said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is rumored that the army of the Nanshao Kingdom is wandering around the border of our country, and it seems that they are about to attack."

As soon as this remark came out, discussions erupted in the hall.

Hearing this, Chu Junye felt sleepy and ran away, and couldn't help frowning.It's not that he doesn't know about Nanshao Kingdom, it's not a big country, but its strength should not be underestimated. They are wandering around the border of Xihuang Kingdom, do they really want to invade Xihuang as the old minister said?

"Perhaps it's not necessary to go out to have fun." The emperor couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw the crowd talking all of a sudden, raised his hand and said impatiently, such a trivial matter is worth reporting in the court, I really don't know what it means!

"Your Majesty, if Nanshao Kingdom would go out for fun, would it bring so many soldiers?" The old minister couldn't help but shouted loudly when he heard the emperor's indifferent tone.

"Yes, yes." All the ministers echoed.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the officials impatiently. Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted an urgent report. He nodded to let the person in. General Liang walked in from outside, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Nan The Kingdom of Shao attacked the border of our country early this morning, and has captured several counties on the border, this is the letter of war sent by people from the Kingdom of Nanshao!" He said, taking out the letter of challenge in his arms, and asked the palace servants to present it To the emperor.

The emperor unfolded it and saw dozens of big characters written on it, the meaning was obvious, if the Nanshao country is coming to invade, if your country dare not send troops, then just wait for the country to perish.

The emperor's hands trembled a little. He didn't want to subjugate the country, he still wanted to be the emperor, so he said quickly: "General Liang, I sent you to attack Nanshao Kingdom, and you will definitely drive them out of Xihuang."

General Liang knelt on the ground with an ugly expression on his face. He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the entire Nanshao Kingdom is attacking. The strength of the army should not be underestimated. I dare not attack rashly. It is necessary to increase the strength of the troops and deploy them strictly."

"You mean that there are fewer soldiers for you?" The emperor sat on the dragon chair and said angrily: "In that case, I will send you another [-]. Is it enough? If you can't take Nanshao Kingdom, don't you came back!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that General Liang doesn't want to fight, it's because Nanshao Kingdom's military strength is really strong." The old minister who spoke before couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the entire Nanshao Kingdom is attacking. It is said that there are nearly 100 million troops."

Now it's the emperor's turn to be silent. It's not that Xihuang Kingdom doesn't have that number of soldiers, but if all of them are sent out to fight, who will protect him, the emperor?In case Nanshao sent people to sneak attack, wouldn't he just sit and wait for death?No, absolutely not!

Chu Junye quietly glanced at the emperor's face, and he already knew in his heart that he knew the character of his brother best, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he would definitely not send all his soldiers to attack Nanshao Kingdom.

really--

"I just thought about it. The military strength of Nanshao Kingdom is so strong that our country may not win the war, not to mention the waste of people and wealth. General Liang, pass on my will and make peace with Nanshao Kingdom." The emperor ordered, he thought for a while It's still the easiest way to get married, but it's just a beautiful woman. The emperor of Nanshao Kingdom also likes beautiful women, so he can avoid wars, so why not do it.

All the ministers were taken aback when they heard the words, and they all protested. Chu Junye stood where he was, with a cold smile in his heart, and kiss?Thanks to his brother, he figured it out, if the marriage is useful, Nanshao Kingdom will not be attacked, is he short of such a beautiful woman?What they want is the land of Xihuang Kingdom, so it seems that this battle cannot be fought.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" All the ministers shouted, and the emperor couldn't help becoming irritable.

"Okay, okay, I understand, General Liang, you send people to guard the other counties on the border to prevent the Nanshao Kingdom from attacking again. As for sending troops, let me think about it and discuss it tomorrow!" Said After the emperor left with a flick of his sleeves, the palace officials announced their retirement.

Chu Junye walked out of the palace with the ministers, and a few bold old ministers came over and said, "Prince Jing, forgive the old minister, you are the emperor's younger brother, please talk to the emperor about sending troops to attack the south. Shao country, if this continues, Xihuang country will be in danger for a day."

Chu Junye looked at their anxious faces, and he didn't want to say anything. He just nodded casually, which meant that he had understood, and the veterans left at ease. Chu Junye walked all the way and got into the carriage returning home. Just started to think about it.

Let him find his imperial brother?How can it be!Leaving aside that he doesn't want to go, his brother wished that he would not care about anything and just be his idle prince with peace of mind?Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to great lengths to prevent him from having any heirs. His elder brother has regarded himself as a thorn in his side since he was a child, so it's strange to listen to his words.

Back in the mansion, Wen Muyan got up and was sitting in the main hall waiting for him. Seeing him sitting there, Chu Junye walked in as if nothing had happened, and sat down at the dining table.

The two had breakfast together. Wen Muyan looked at Chu Junye who was facing him while eating. From the moment he came in, his complexion was a little abnormal. It was not obvious but he could feel it. He put down the bowl and couldn't help asking : "Jun Ye, is there something wrong in the hall?"

Chu Junye was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect his princess to be so sensitive, but he still couldn't hide it and let him see it.Chu Junye put down the bowl, took his princess back to the house, and then slowly told him everything that happened just now.

Wen Muyan listened to him patiently, and was taken aback in his heart. He really didn't expect Nanshao Kingdom to move so fast and occupied several counties on the border of Xihuang Kingdom in just a few hours. That's okay?

"Then what does the emperor say?" He thought for a while and asked.

"The emperor said to make a marriage." Chu Junye sighed, and told his concubine everything the emperor said.

Wen Muyan was silent. Marriage is absolutely useless. If Nanshao Kingdom dared to attack with such a powerful force, it must have a chance of winning. If Xihuang did not meet the enemy, it would only make the people's hearts and soldiers lose their hearts, which would not be good for the future.

"The emperor is so insane, Xihuang Kingdom will let him perish sooner or later!" Chu Junye complained softly about the emperor's stupidity, Wen Muyan quickly covered his mouth and reminded him to be careful that the walls have ears, and then he realized that he was careless up.

"In fact, Nanshao Kingdom dared to attack because of its terrain advantage." Wen Muyan thought about it carefully, and it should be the terrain that made Nanshao Kingdom so confident.

Nanshao Kingdom is a neighboring country of Xihuang Kingdom, but the terrain of the two countries is completely different. The terrain of Xihuang Kingdom is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but Nanshao Kingdom is different. Their terrain conditions are not good. They are all jungles and high mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Nanshao Kingdom must want to attack Xihuang Kingdom first, let Xihuang Kingdom follow their army, and lure the enemy to go deep, and wait for the army of Xihuang Kingdom to reach their territory , then wiped out in one fell swoop!

So Nanshao Kingdom's move is wise. They didn't use their troops casually before, but they were just waiting for the opportunity. Seeing that the time was ripe, they made a massive attack in an attempt to annex Xihuang Kingdom.

Chu Junye listened carefully to his analysis of the geographical advantages and disadvantages of the two countries, and he felt more and more surprised in his heart. He never thought that his princess had such a side. feasible strategy.

"Then according to Muyan's opinion, what should we do?" Chu Junye asked after he finished speaking.

Wen Muyan was silent for a while, carefully thought about various strategies, and said after a long time: "There is only one word, type."

Chu Junye slapped the table and applauded. His own princess's thoughts were exactly the same as his own. He also thought a lot above the court, but the only way to solve this situation was to fight.

If they don't fight, Nanshao Kingdom will think that Xihuang Kingdom is afraid of them, which is not conducive to winning the hearts of the people in power, and it is not conducive to shaping the morale of the army. Even if they don't fight, they will talk about marriage. How is this different from direct surrender?

"What Mu Yan said is very true. I believe that most of the ministers think the same way as I do. Tomorrow the court will surely persuade the emperor to order the attack on Nanshao Kingdom." Chu Junye embraced Wen Muyan excitedly. His princess is so sensible and gentle. , with this princess, what more can a husband ask for?

Wen Muyan was a little suffocated by his embrace, and quickly stretched out his hand to push him away. While the two were talking, someone came from outside the door to announce that someone from the Wen residence had arrived.

The two looked at each other, got up and went out.Seeing that it was her aunt who came, Wen Muyan immediately went over and hugged her gently, while Chu Junye stood aside and watched the two embrace with a smile.

Since the two got married, they only went back to their natal family once. No wonder the aunt misses to visit him. Seeing the two talking happily, Chu Junye felt a little guilty, and scolded himself for ignoring Mu Yan's family. I can often take him home to see.

"What is the lord standing there for? Come and sit down and talk." Auntie is a grand woman who doesn't mind the two men getting married. Seeing Chu Junye standing aside, she hurriedly called him over.

Chu Junye sat down beside his concubine, looked at his aunt with a smile, and saw that she asked a servant beside her to take out an exquisite box, put it on the table, pointed to it and said, "I forgot to give you this incense all the time." Mu Yan brought it, and it's called Longweixiang, which can calm the mind and help you sleep."

Chu Junye hurriedly thanked after hearing the words: "Thank you, Mrs. Wen!"

The aunt paused her hand, glanced at him dissatisfied, and said, "Why is the prince still called Mrs. Wen?"

He was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was guilty, and then he grinned and said, "Don't worry about it, Auntie, Jun Ye thanked Auntie for Mu Yan!"

The aunt looked at the two of them with a smile, with an expression of "this is not bad", she looked at the sky, then got up and said: "It's almost noon, I have to go back, I have something to say before I leave, can the prince borrow a step?" say?"

Chu Junye nodded and followed.

When she got to the side, the aunt looked up at the man in front of her, and smiled slowly: "My lord, you are a good husband. My aunt is very relieved to entrust Mu Yan to you. I hope you can always treat him so kindly." I hope that my nephew will also end in a tragic end, that's why I said these few words, I hope he can understand.

And Chu Junye obviously understood, he glanced at Wen Muyan who was not far away, nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will always treat Mu Yan well."

"My lord said that, so I am relieved." The aunt looked at him with satisfaction, turned and left.

When Chu Junye came back, Wen Muyan couldn't help asking, "What did Auntie tell you?"

Chu Junye didn't answer right away, but raised his hand to caress the back of the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Auntie said let me take good care of you, she is a good elder."

Wen Muyan pursed his lips and did not speak. He had lost his father and mother since he was a child, and lived in his uncle's house. The uncle's family treated him very well, especially his aunt, who treated him like his own son, which made him very grateful.

"Mu Yan, I've been taking good care of you, don't you think so?" Chu Junye stepped forward to hug him, lowered his head to kiss his soft lips, and said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Before Wen Muyan could answer his words, he was kissed by him, and those big hands were caressing her back, bringing a feeling of emotion.

The garden was full of spring, and the servants closed the courtyard door while laughing, allowing the two to be intimate without being affected.
