Chapter 54: The Angry Emperor of Chu

Although the room was incense, it still could not cover up the rich smell of the soup. The Emperor of Chu was half leaning on the bed and gasping heavily. Usually, he was carefully dressed in the court and dressed in the majestic emperor. It was not obvious that the emperor was sick. In fact, except for a few people, there were not many people who dared to look at the emperor in the court. But at this time, what Yang Yihe saw was an old man with half of his hair lost, pale face, deep bones, and thin bones.

"Your Majesty." Standing in front of the bed, bent down deeply.

"Sit it yourself, Yihe." The Emperor of Chu waved his hand and pointed to the brocade stool in front of the bed.

Yang Yihe sat down as he spoke, looked at the emperor, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the frontier is just a defeat, and it cannot shake the foundation of our Great Chu. It is amazing that at most, the Qin people did not intend to fight a big fight. They also knew that when we fought on a large scale, we would definitely not suffer the loss in the end. Our national strength is much stronger than them. You should take care of the dragon body. These small matters can be handled by the subordinates."

The Emperor of Great Chu half closed his eyes, but did not answer Yang Yihe's words. After Yang Yihe said these words, he remained silent. They were the king and ministers for decades, and they knew clearly about their temperaments.

"The Qin State suffered a severe drought this year, and the people's livelihood in China was withered, so they had to fight this battle. When they entered Anyang County, they only plundered but not attacked the city, which naturally showed me their attitude. I understand this very well." After a while, the Emperor of Chu slowly said: "Yihe, do you really think I was furious for this defeat?"

Yang Yihe was still silent. Sometimes, not speaking was the best attitude.

"This battle is a strange loss." A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Great Chu. "Who is Zuo Lixing? I know, and you know that even if he is a mediocre general, even if he is inappropriate command, how could the 60,000 elite border troops be wiped out? What's more, Zuo Lixing is one of the top generals in my Great Chu. He himself has the cultivation of a great master. He can make him look like this and leave his life. This can only show one thing, that is, the other party has been prepared and knows our action plan well, so he can figure out all the links clearly and not give Zuo Lixing a little chance. Hehe, in order to kill Zuo Lixing, Li Zhi actually took action himself and did not hesitate to bear the price of serious injury from his background. Yihe, are you surprised?"

"There is indeed something strange about this matter." Yang Yihe had to express his opinion.

"Some people can't wait! Some people are going to do it in advance!" The Emperor of Great Chu beat the edge of the bed hard, making his voice hoarse, and he gasped quickly. Yang Yihe quickly stood up, walked behind the emperor, and gently stroked the emperor's back.

"Your Majesty, it is important to take care of the dragon body. Compared to your body, these are just small things. As long as you don't fall, there will be nothing in Da Chu!" After the emperor slowly calmed down, Yang Yihe persuaded him softly.

The emperor smiled bitterly, leaned his body back on the pillow behind him, and looked at Yang Yihe: "Yihe, in a blink of an eye, thirty years have passed. Do you still remember what happened when you and my king and minister were young? You were dressed in a furious and frivolous young man, chased and played, for my youth, you took a lot of blame and were beaten by the emperor a lot."

Yang Yihe smiled and said, "Share the worries for the Lord is the duty of a minister."

"In the blink of an eye, you and I are all white-haired. Look at me, a great master, who can't resist the invasion of the disease. She can only lie on the bed and wait for death. If I weren't like this now, how could those ghosts dare to act so recklessly?" An abnormal flush appeared on the emperor's face.

"Your Majesty, this matter is just a doubt, and you cannot draw a conclusion. At present, we should deal with the matter in Western Xinjiang first, and do the aftermath, and then talk about other things!" Yang Yihe said softly: "The envoy of Qin is already on his way to the capital."

The emperor yelled and looked at Yang Yihe with a squint eyes, "I heard that you are just busy with the aftermath these days and have not checked the matter behind this at all? Did you ignore it, or did you not want to check it at all."

Yang Yihe was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, it is better to be quiet than to move. At present, the Great Chu Dynasty cannot withstand any major changes. Therefore, I am not ignoring it, but I am unwilling to investigate. I am willing to believe that this is a great defeat caused by Zuo Lixing's improper command and an enemy's plan. I also say this in the court."

"You are still the same as before!" The emperor sighed lightly, "Everything is stable, and he will not take risks."

"Your Majesty, the new Chu is defeated and you cannot take risks. If you don't investigate this matter, you may find out the huge misunderstanding. At that time, how will Your Majesty deal with it and how can the court sanctify the world?" Yang Yihe looked calm, looked at the emperor, and talked happily.

"I have asked An Ruhai to check it out. I have won my gold medal, and anyone can check it out." The emperor's expression was also very calm.

Yang Yihe's face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a loud bang, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask you to take back your life. This matter can only be done slowly and must not make any progress. Over time, there will be a solution."

"It seems you have thought that if something goes wrong, it can only be my son. So you don't want to check it." The emperor looked up at the tent, "If my body is not as good as it is now, it will naturally be as you said, moving is worse than being quiet, slowly looking at it, but I can't wait. I will cut off this tumor before I die. This abscess grows on the body of Da Chu, and I am unwilling to accept it."

"Your Majesty, I don't believe that this is the prince's doing." Yang Yihe raised his head and shouted: "If you investigate it in a hurry, you might fall into other people's calculations."

"You think of this too?" The emperor sneered, "It's not that you don't believe it, you don't want to believe it, and I can't believe it either, so I'm going to check it out and find out the truth. Yihe, although I am old and become a sick tiger, the sick tiger is also a tiger. Who did such a crazy thing? If I don't cut him into pieces, how can the thousands of people in the Great Chu accept it?"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Yihe still insisted on his own idea, "This will cause turmoil in going to Beijing. If one is not good, it will cause civil strife. The prince has been in charge of the country for a long time and has become a self-construction system. The second prince is extremely talented and has gathered countless followers under his command. The two forces are almost equal in chess and drums. They can only slowly and cannot cut the mess quickly!"

"If I don't do this before I die, it will leave endless harm to the Great Chu." The Emperor of Great Chu said coldly: "So, before I die, I will find out the truth. There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is no secret that cannot be found. As long as we do it seriously, since you are so resistant to this matter, you don't have to worry about it. Just manage the government well. Aftermath is also the top priority. If you negotiate with the Qin people, only a veteran like you will not lose your dignity after we are defeated."

"I understand." Yang Yihe knew that the emperor had made up his mind and could only nod helplessly.

The emperor sighed and fell silent for a long time, "I heard that your son returned seriously injured this time, and you were still furious and prepared to settle the score with the officer who injured him. Now that I think about it, this accident saved your son's life, otherwise your son would not be able to come back. Poor my daughter, now she will not see anyone in her life and will not see the corpse in her life. What is really my concern!"

"Have the whereabouts of the princess not been found yet?" Yang Yihe asked in surprise.

"No, the inner guards found the Qin people, and the Qin people did not admit that the princess fell into their hands. If she was still alive, the Qin people would have happily taken her as a bargaining chip. Now they don't admit it, there are only two possibilities. One is that she escaped and has not come back yet, and the second is that she is dead. The Qin people dare not admit it."

"The princess is extremely intelligent and has great martial arts skills. Even if Zuo Lixing is defeated, he will definitely make proper arrangements. Your Majesty does not have to worry. Maybe in a few days, the princess will come back safely." Yang Yihe comforted.

"I hope this is the case!" The emperor slowly closed his eyes, "Yihe, I am tired, you go down. As I said, An Ruhai will inform you of his investigation, but you are not allowed to ask about this matter."
