"Fifth brother!" Chai Yan looked at the sound, saw the man's familiar face, widened his eyes, and said happily: "How could you come here as a Turkic envoy?"

As we all know, the fifth son of the emperor Chai Ji was sent to the Turks when the Great Zhou Dynasty was just established. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was just established and its foundation was still unstable. In order to appease the Turks on the frontier, Chai Lie signed a peace treaty with the Turks and established a relationship between a brotherly state. Therefore, peace on the border has been maintained for more than ten years. To put it bluntly, neither of the two countries can do anything to each other, and their overall national strength is similar. If you want to fight, you don’t have to fight until when to decide the victory or defeat. Moreover, the Turks have no time to fight with the Zhou Dynasty for years.

Since Chai Ji was sent to the Turks as hostages, the Great Zhou and the Turks had no connection with each other, and only had commercial trade. The Zhou Dynasty used grains to exchange for Turks' horses, cattle and sheep, and used brocade clothes and jade to exchange for genuine leather shoes. I wonder why the Turks sent their fifth son Chai Ji as an envoy now.

Chai Yan was very excited to give Chai Ji a bear hug. The two brothers had not met for nearly ten years, and they shed two lines of hot tears, "Fifth brother, you have grown up! Come and let the emperor take a good look at you!"

Chai Ji burst into tears and said with a smile: "It's been ten years!"

"Oh! Yes!" Chai Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies! Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the scars on your head, I wouldn't dare recognize you."

Chai Ji touched the scar on his head and smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, the emperor's brother has inherited the throne. I wonder if his father is doing well?"

Chai Yan smiled with relief and said, "My father was so cruel to send you to the Turks as a hostage. I didn't expect you to miss him so much."

Chai Ji smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my brother was quite resentful to my father back then, but gradually as my brother grew up, I realized my father. My father was right when he did that back then! In order to avoid the suffering of war in the world, my father had no choice but to establish a relationship with the Turks. This was how my brother understood this painstakingly."

"You have suffered over the years. Let's go! I will take you to see your father. Since you are here, stay in the capital for a few more days." Chai Yan took Chai Ji's hand and walked forward.

"No hurry!" Chai Ji pulled his hand out of Chai Yan and said, "This time, my brother came here as a Turkic messenger and had an urgent matter to report!"

"Oh?" Chai Yan frowned slightly and said curiously: "If you have any urgent matters, please report it quickly!"

Chai Ji hugged his hands and said, "In recent years, a tribe called Jurchen suddenly rose in the north. The leader of the Jurchen, Wu Yanguang, led his tribe members to capture three Turkish towns in just one month, and headed straight to Kyoto. My brother came here as an envoy to ask the emperor for help! I beg the emperor to send troops to extend a helping hand!"

"This..." Chai Yan hesitated, "Fifth brother, this Turkic has never been a good friend to this dynasty. It was the father's necessity that he had to form a brotherly country. Now that he is going to be destroyed by the Jurchens, why should I send troops to rescue him?"

"Emperor! My family is all in the Turks, so I can't leave it alone! Your Majesty!" Chai Ji was a little stunned and hurriedly knelt down.

"Oh!" Chai Yan sighed deeply, hurriedly helped each other, and said, "Fifth brother, what are you doing? Get up quickly! What kind of delicacy do you see?"

"If the emperor does not agree to me, I will kneel to death!" Chai Ji is famous for his stubborn temper and believes in his desperation.

Chai Yan was furious and said angrily: "Nonsense! Sending troops? I have just ascended the throne and have not yet firmly settled. There is a prime minister in the court that is dismantling my imperial power. It's because I don't agree to send troops. Even if I agree, no one in the civil and military officials in the court will agree!"

"..." Chai Ji was a little frightened. He didn't expect Chai Yan to sit so unsteadily. "The emperor told me, what should I do?"

Chai Yan thought for a while and said, "Get up first! This matter will be long-term!

"What should the emperor do if he doesn't tell me, I won't get up!"

"You...are you making things difficult for me?" Chai Yan was a little angry. In fact, sending troops was just an imperial edict, but he really didn't want to send troops to aid the Turks. As he said, the Turks and the Great Zhou Dynasty were just nominal brother countries. There was not much intersection between the two countries, and the Zhou Dynasty was also guarding against the Turks and the Turkish wolf ambitions. Once they had the ability, they would definitely attack the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now they were embarrassed by a Jurchen tribe, and Chai Yan wanted the Jurchens to destroy the Turks.

"Get up first! I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter! Let's go and see your father first! The father misses you very much."

Chai Ji wanted to speak but stopped. Chai Yan's words had already reached this point. Even if he really knelt until he died, it would be meaningless. He had no choice but to stand up.

In the Palace of Supreme Harmony, since Chai Lie gave up the throne and became the Supreme Emperor, he has been living here with the Empress Dowager. His retirement life is leisurely and he no longer has to worry about politics. Compared to being an emperor, being an emperor is the beginning of a good life.

At this time, Chai Lie was sitting upright in the Hall of Supreme Harmony reading a book.

"Father! Look at whom the son brought him!"

"..." Chai Lie looked at the sound, and saw Chai Ji's face, and smiled and greeted him, "It's Ji'er! It's the orphan Ji'er!"

Chai Ji stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Son Master, please see your father!"

"Hahaha! Ji'er is back! The orphan son is back!" Chai Lie shed two lines of hot tears, "Ji'er, why are you back?"

"My son is unfilial! You can't be with your father. Please forgive me!" Similarly, Chai Ji was filled with tears. The man in front of him was his father, and this was his home. He never thought of another chance to come back here again in his life. He often dreamed of coming back. Now he is really back, and when he sees his father he has been thinking about day and night, how can he not be excited? Don't cry?

"Don't say that! It's bad for the father. If you are the little father, you sent you to the Turks as a hostage, but your father is not worthy of being your father!" Chai Lie has always been upset about what happened back then, feeling that he is not worthy of being a father, and sent his own son to the enemy as a hostage, but for the sake of the people of the world, he has to do that. Only he knows how conflicted he is.

"No! My father is right! If it is not like this, the Great Zhou and the Turks will not maintain peace for more than ten years."

The father and son haven't seen each other for so many years, and they have long hidden thousands of words in their hearts, and Chai Lie feels very sorry for Chai Ji.

"Ji'er, you have suffered for so many years, by the way! How could the Turks let you back?" After chatting for so long, Chai Lie asked the answer he had always wanted to know.

"Oh!" Chai Ji sighed and said, "Now that the Turks have been attacked by the Jurchens, they have lost three cities. The son-in-law came to ask for help as a Turkic envoy!"

"Oh? Jurchens?" Hearing this, Chai Lie couldn't help but frown, "As far as I know, this Jurchens are nomadic people around the Turks, and they rise so quickly."
