Chapter 8 Princess Wushuang (8)

"The atmosphere in the palace these two days is a little wrong. Mu Xiang, is something happened?" Yan Su asked.

She took medicine for three days and kept it honestly in her palace for three days before her health recovered.

However, the imperial garden was deserted and there were not many palace maids and eunuchs, and there were not even those palace maids and concubines who were flirting with each other specifically to attract the emperor and princes.

Strange and weird.

Mu Xiang looked around and confirmed that there was no one before whispering, "Your Highness, something really happened. I'll tell you carefully when I return to the palace."

That means something really happened.

Yan Su didn't ask again. She went to Qinzheng Hall as Princess Wuyou did. At this time, the morning court had been in full swing for a long time, and the Emperor Chu would discuss matters in Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Highness..."

"I'll take a look, and then I'll come back after I look at my father." Yan Su said.

After the court came, the Emperor Chu and the ministers had a major talk about the country. The rule of the Qinzheng Hall was that idle people were not allowed to approach, and Mu Xiang and other palace maids had to stand far away and wait.

And Yan Su is not an idle person.

As soon as she passed, the guard at the door knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Are you finished the talk soon?" Yan Su asked.

The guard shook his head, "I don't know."

They can't listen to secret matters.

Yan Su: "Then I'll go in and take a look."

The guards look at me and I look at you, and they dare not stop them, but they dare not put people in at this time.

Yan Su: "Then you pretend you didn't see it anymore, and I'll come out soon.

The Imperial Guard: "…"

Princess Wuyou did this once or twice. A concubine had known that Yan Su had entered the Qinzheng Palace and filed a complaint specifically, but was scolded by Emperor Chu and was demoted to her position.

Some court officials were very dissatisfied with this and asked the Emperor of Chu to lift the punishment of his concubine and scold Princess Wuyou. As a result, he was found to have embezzled and bribed the people, and then the house was searched, and then the people in his family who committed the crime moved their heads.

Since then, everyone has a new understanding of Princess Wuyou’s status in the mind of Emperor Chu.

After Yan Su entered, the eunuchs and palace maids inside were all bowing and greeting each other without saying a word when they saw it.

When he arrived at the main hall, before he got close, Yan Su heard the fierce debate.

One dialect says that when the country is in danger, the princess who enjoys privileges should make some contribution to the country without consuming national strength and getting help from another country without losing one soldier. The best choice is the marriage.

They could not tolerate the cruel and barbaric Huns riding on their heads, but could tolerate and even enjoy the peace and tranquility they had received with their women.

Although they are obviously cowardly and incompetent, shameless and have no bottom line, they still have to wrap themselves up with a golden body, saying that they are worried about the country and the people, and for the country and the people.

The other side is the pro-war faction, but unfortunately there are only a few people, and their voices are strong, but few support them.

There are many reasons, such as the national treasury is empty, the national strength is declining, the morale is poor, etc.

When Emperor Chu was still a prince, he advocated changing the domestic trend of emphasizing culture over military affairs. Through reform, the declining Chu State returned to its heyday of hundreds of years ago, and even surpassed the past.

But to this day, the plan he has formulated has been under one tenth.

The reason why the reform cannot be carried out smoothly is the deep-rooted literary style and the same preference for "comfort" from court officials to the people.

Some policies issued by Emperor Chu after he ascended the throne made them see clearly that reforms were beneficial to the State of Chu, but this would harm their interests and make them lose a comfortable life.
