Chapter One Hundred and Twenty

Emperor Chu, who was in poor spirits, only raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Chu Luchen going to court. He seemed to be dissatisfied because Chu Luchen had only rested for a few days because he had been unwell in the past few days, so he spoke while no one was present.

.

"Chen'er, please pay attention to your health." Emperor Chu felt that his health was getting worse and worse in recent days, so he paid more attention to maintenance, but unfortunately there was no way to save him.

He had already seen through Chu Lurong's ambition. In his eyes, Chu Lvchen had to fight back just to protect himself, and he suddenly became more partial.

"Father, my second brother will naturally get better quickly at his age. Don't worry so much. I saw him on the street yesterday." Chu Lurong seemed to say soothingly, but he brought out what happened yesterday.

Emperor Chu became angry when he heard Chu Lurong's voice. He snorted and didn't answer, "What else do you want, dear sir?"

"Your Majesty, how should we decide on the issue of military pay?" A minister who did not know when he was promoted came out to report.

"How to make a decision, how to make a decision, it's a matter of life every day. How can I raise you ministers in vain?" Emperor Chu patted the table and turned his eyes to Chu Lurong, "Lürong, tell me about you.

insights.”

"I would like to inform my father, for the sake of the stability of the border, this military salary must be given. However, in today's peaceful and prosperous times, the military salary has increased more and more, and I am afraid there must be something wrong. My son is willing to escort the military salary to the border with several adults.

, to explore the reality.”

"As the eldest son, in order to ensure your safety, I won't bother you with escorting the military pay. Lu Chen, just take good care of your health these days. When you are well, get ready and go. Which other ministers are willing to go?"

Emperor Chu turned his finger and looked around the court.

Those who originally worked hard with him, begged for bones and died in battle. Those who were still in the court had already learned to play tricks on others.

Sun Quan and Zuo Jian had done so many tricks behind their backs, and even Wanru was in great pain.

So the only one he still trusts now is Chu Luchen.

After all, this child has always been sensible and doesn't like to get involved in such things, unlike Chu Luyi, who always causes trouble.

Leave it to him and you have no worries.

"I am willing to go." Sun Quan took a slight step. His appearance made Chu Luchen stunned for a moment. There were only two possibilities for him to step forward at this time. He would have a share of the dirty military pay, or... this matter could be

Help him create dissent.

"Master Sun, this government still needs your assistance, and you are not a suitable candidate. Master Yuchi, Master Wang, what do you do?" Emperor Chu waved his hand and asked him to step aside.

"Your Majesty is willing." They have already been named by Emperor Chu, so there must be no room for rejection.

Seeing that they were obedient, Emperor Chu was extremely satisfied. His face that had been tense all morning finally relaxed.

Chu Luchen sighed silently and smiled bitterly in his heart. Emperor Chu was already so comatose that he actually asked Lord Yuchi and Lord Wang to go there? These two civil servants, both of whom have made no achievements, will probably fall into disrepute sooner or later. I'm afraid that at this point.

In the military camp, you won’t even see me, right?

Thinking of this, Chu Luchen walked out of the queue slowly and said, "To inform my father, our country is vast and has two major fortresses in the north and south. This military salary must be shipped in two batches. I am afraid that I cannot take care of both, so please allow me to do so."

Together with the eldest prince."

Since he wants to go into the water, let's go together.

"I didn't think about it. So let's do it. In order to ensure the safety of you two, I will send more manpower." Emperor Chu stroked his beard and nodded silently, "Then since there are two major fortresses in the north and south, Lu

Where do you want to go, Chen?"

The north and south fortresses are different. The north fortress has been harassed from outside the fortress for many years, but it has never made a request for reinforcements. The south fortress has always been calm, but it has repeatedly asked for military pay. It can't help but make people suspicious.

However, it is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. The harder you work, the more doubtful it becomes.

After all, the total military pay increased from both sides, so the North Fortress made him even more suspicious.

"My son is willing to go to the North Fortress." Hearing Chu Luchen's departure, Chu Lurong laughed slightly. There were some things they knew very well.

Compared to the North Fortress, the South Fortress is easier to investigate and is also easier to perform meritorious service. However, choosing the North Fortress is a thankless choice. Is this considered bowing to oneself?

"This North Fortress has always been peaceful and self-disciplined, so it is a good choice for Lu Chen to make this choice. Let the matter be settled as such. Lu Rong, Lu Chen, you all have your own arrangements. Mr. Wang will follow Lu Rong, and Mr. Yuchi will follow Lu Chen.

You have to help me well and don't neglect me." Although Emperor Chu was a little angry at Chu Luchen for not arguing, it seems that the southern fortress is more suitable for meritorious service, but he chose the northern fortress, which is dry all year round. It is really hard work.

Seeing that no one was playing again, Emperor Chu simply waved his hand, and with the sound of the palace people retreating, everyone filed out again.

"Second brother, thank you for choosing that painful place. I hope you can clear out the military camp this time." Chu Lurong seemed concerned and patted Chu Lvchen on his shoulder, but there was no look of concern on his face at all.

Suffering? That's only relative to those soldiers.

I'm afraid those generals have all become useless.

However, if this is the case, how do you stop the intruders from outside the Great Wall every year?

After saying goodbye to Chu Lurong, Chu Lüchen walked out of the palace while thinking.

After sitting in the sedan, Chu Luchen didn't think about it for a moment, and just looked at the lively street in a trance.

The people in the imperial capital have always been lucky, because they are far away from the border and at the feet of the emperor, so many things cannot affect them.

But once the border is breached, they will be the most unsafe. The imperial capital will definitely become the target of attack, and capturing the imperial capital means capturing the entire Chu State.

Seeing the smiles on their faces and the lively cries, Chu Luchen felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.

Back at home, lunch had been prepared, and the thing that looked like a plum blossom cake next to his bowl and chopsticks was clearly Wan Qing's masterpiece.

"Go and call Princess Zuo." Chu Luchen sat down in his seat, picked up the chopsticks, and hesitated.

This plum blossom cake seems to know at a glance that it doesn't have much flavor...Should I eat it in front of the real Wan Qing, or should I deal with it secretly now...

When he hesitated, Wan Qing, who had been prepared for a long time, walked in quickly, not giving him the chance to solve the problem secretly.

"Second Prince, it took me two hours to make this. Don't waste it." Wan Qing smiled brightly, which made Chu Luchen feel very excited.

Seeing the chopsticks slowly reaching towards the plum blossom cake, Wan Qing's smile grew stronger and stronger.

Second Prince, Second Prince, don't be afraid. Today Wan Qing just ruined the appearance a little bit, but the taste is still good.
