Chapter 974 - Going to war again
"My dear, just say so." The emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
"Your Majesty, there is a sycophant in the court!" Chi Zhongtian said with a solemn expression.
"Chi Aiqing!"
As soon as Chi Zhongtian finished speaking, the emperor's expression suddenly changed.
"Chi Aiqing, you are a man of the world, and you are the most trustworthy. Although I am not a man of the world, the emperor has nothing to say. I don't like what you and I have agreed upon. I don't like either of you. I will break this first."
Agreement."
The meaning of the emperor's words was obviously to tell Chi Zhongtian that it had been agreed long ago that Chi Zhongtian would only be in charge of an army for the emperor and would only help the emperor deal with some difficult military and national affairs. As for the government affairs of the DPRK and China,
Absolutely don't get involved.
Chi Zhongtian is a smart man, how could he not remember this, but this time, he couldn't help it.
Water ghosts of the Jialing River.
The thieves of Lijiang City.
Gu Aoyun appeared mysteriously on the way back.
The mysterious man who assassinated King Qing.
Each one of these things made Chi Zhongtian feel upset.
However, even so, the emperor will still not give in even half a cent on this, because it is related to a principle.
"Chi Aiqing, I understand everything you reported. I will allow you to go to court tomorrow morning, but you should try not to say anything. After the reward is over, I will let you go back." The emperor continued.
.
"Your Majesty, I was a little reckless. I hope your Majesty will forgive me." Chi Zhongtian said.
"It doesn't matter. I'm so anxious to see you today. There's one more thing I want to tell you in advance," the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders!"
"The war in the west is tense. I was wondering if you could bring the soldiers of Shenwu Longyangwei to help?"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This trip to southern Xinjiang has been delayed for a lot of time, because the people who promised to send Xuantian to find a way to rescue Master Yunyan were delayed because of this matter, and Bei Lingxuan should still be there at this time.
They were waiting for me at Tiima Temple near Shezhou.
Just when he thought he was back and could breathe a sigh of relief, the emperor suddenly talked about the war in the west again, which made him completely unprepared.
"Your Majesty, I really want to serve the country, but what happened in Jianghu..." Chi Zhongtian said this, and the emperor immediately nodded as if he suddenly understood: "Ah! That's right, I'm just thinking about it.
It’s such a big national event that I’ve forgotten about it, haha.”
Seeing that the emperor spoke so politely, Chi Zhongtian was also a little frightened.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to make excuses. Please give me some time so that I can deal with the affairs in the world." Chi Zhongtian said.
"How long will it take?" asked the emperor.
"Half a year." Chi Zhongtian thought for a moment and replied firmly.
"Half a year..." The emperor muttered silently, and then said: "Half a year is a bit long. I won't hide it from you. The war in the west is not as tight as usual. My second son, oh, is Huan.
The king has been defeated."
After the emperor finished speaking, Chi Zhongtian's brows immediately frowned tightly.
What happened this year?
Why are there wars everywhere?
Moreover, the war cannot be won.
"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, I really didn't do that," the emperor said sadly.
"Your Majesty, what are you..."
"The Chinese dynasty is majestic, the country is rich and the army is strong. Since I came to the throne, no foreign thieves have ever dared to covet my dynasty. But now, they have invaded again and again, alas!"
As the saying goes, even if the emperor is superior, there are still many things to worry about.
Just like the ancestral precepts of emperors of all dynasties, those who have lost an inch of land are not allowed to enter their ancestral graves.
Not being allowed to enter the ancestral graves is simply the greatest insult to an emperor.
In other words, the ancestors do not recognize you as a person at all, nor do they recognize that you are their descendants.
Now that things have come to a point, the emperor has no choice but to have such thoughts.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
As he said that, Chi Zhongtian seemed to feel a little sorry.
"Chi Aiqing, since you have something to do, go ahead and do it first, and I will think of a solution later," the emperor said.
If you follow normal thinking, Chi Zhongtian will definitely be polite, but this is really not the time to be polite.
You can't put off the Jianghu matter any longer, otherwise, your center of gravity may be tilted.
"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Chi Zhongtian said quickly.
When the emperor heard what he said, he was not expecting it, because he also thought that Chi Zhongtian would be polite, and then he would get off the donkey along the slope and force Chi Zhongtian to submit.
I don't know since when, the emperor has placed great trust in Chi Zhongtian, and it's not just trust, but also a sense of reassurance.
He always felt that as long as Chi Zhongtian took action personally, nothing would be difficult.
"Go ahead and solve it as soon as possible. Tomorrow we will be in the court. After I award you the reward, you can go back. Don't worry, I promise you this time that I will never disturb you within half a year." The emperor said with a smile.
Seeing the emperor say this, Chi Zhongtian was relieved. Jun Wuxi said that as long as the emperor said so, he would definitely be able to do it.
After leaving the palace, Chi Zhongtian first went to say hello to Jin Chi, and then went to Yongmenzi Di's home again.
It's just a coincidence that Yongmen Zidi and Yongmen Zhen are not at home, and even Yongmen Yuhan doesn't know where he is.
Since they are not here, Chi Zhongtian is embarrassed to stay.
Arriving at a lively place in the city, Chi Zhongtian immediately walked into a teahouse.
Business in the teahouse seemed to be very good, and there were almost no seats available.
After Chi Zhongtian found a seat at random and sat down, he greeted with a smile: "Bring a pot of tea and some platters."
"Okay."
After a while, the waiter came over carrying a tray, which contained a pot of tea, a teacup, and three plates of snacks.
"Master, your tea." The waiter said with a smile.
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The tea here has a unique taste. Although it is not as good as the top-quality teas such as Houkui, Dahongpao, and even Junshan Silver Leaf that Chi Zhongtian drank before, it still has a strong sense of intimacy.
This teahouse also invites some people to perform operas. At this time, a stage was set up in front of the restaurant.
"Everyone, today, we specially invited some powerful characters to sing a good song for you."
"good!"
Come to drink tea just to have fun, otherwise how boring would it be to just drink tea?
Therefore, this proposal was quickly responded to by everyone, but Chi Zhongtian did not respond much and remained indifferent.
Chapter completed!
