Chapter 312 (1/2)

The emperor took a sip of tea and dropped a chess piece. ”You have been in Xirong for more than 20 years. How is your life?”

He dropped the piece. The situation is clear. Chu Chengxun sighed in his heart, smiled and said, ”the minister has a good life in Xirong. Except for his appearance, there is no difference from Xirong people.”

”It's really a performance of appearance. So the people of Xirong can see at a glance that you are a person of the state of Qin. No matter how much you learn from the local people of Xirong, you are always a person of the state of Qin. For them, you are an outsider,” the Emperor's eyes became more and more profound. ”I called you back to the state of Qin. Don't you blame me for disturbing your life?”

Chu Chengxun frowned and smiled a little on his lips. ”How could it be. The emperor has already said how to be close to them in Xirong. They all look like people from the state of Qin. It's natural for people from the state of Qin to return to the state of Qin. After all, this is the hometown of Chen.”

The emperor lifted up his lips and said, ”you are very flexible. But the royal family of the state of Qin didn't raise you at all. It was Xirong's adoptive father and mother who raised you. How many feelings do you have in the state of Qin?”

Chu Chengxun's eyes darkened, ”I still remember when I was a child, I went out to catch butterflies with brother Huang. At that time, the first child of brother Huang had been born, but I was still a child of the same minister in mind. We had a good time at that time, but I didn't catch any butterflies. The first emperor sent him to Xirong. I remember talking about the butterflies I didn't catch on the way to Xirong 。”

”You still remember so clearly. It seems that I'm getting old,” the emperor said with some emotion. ”I remember hearing the news that the first emperor wanted to send you to Xirong. I was shocked and sad. I knelt on the ground in front of the study for a long time, but I only got a rolling word from the first emperor.”

Chu Chengxun was stunned and smiled low. ”Thank you, brother Huang. I thought brother Huang really didn't want a brother.”

”Why don't you? I'm thinking of you after you've been gone for a long time. It's a pity that the first emperor refused to let you come back until he died. I can't help it,” the emperor lowered his eyes. ”I also want to let you come back, and the ministers mean again and again.”

”I understand in my heart that I have never blamed the emperor's brother,” Chu Chengxun smiled soothingly at him. ”Don't mention the sad things of that year. It's been so long. Doesn't the emperor still have something important to discuss with me?”

As soon as the emperor patted his forehead, he smiled awkwardly and said, ”I remember. I haven't told you what it means to call you back this time.”

Chu Chengxun's eyes flashed a strange, ”is it because of the matter of Chu Jun that the emperor brother called his ministers back?”

The emperor nodded and added: ”and you have the blood of the royal family. You can't always put it in Xirong. You must recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. There is also the matter of Duanwang.”

”Duan Wang is young and promising,” Chu Chengxun raised his lips. ”Seeing his intention to aim at the princess, I think he is also a person who values love and righteousness. Why has the emperor refused to let him become a prince?”

The emperor's face became gloomy. ”There are too many things here. I didn't want him to become a prince, and he can't inherit my throne under my eyes. Therefore, I want you to return to the state of Qin to make sure you control the Duan king.”

Chu Chengxun asked unexpectedly, ”what does the emperor mean, which Prince will inherit the throne?”

”Imperial concubine Fu has two princes, and several concubines in the harem have been pregnant one after another. Although my body is getting worse day by day, I still have no problem supporting it for several years. The first emperor was only five years old when he succeeded to the throne.”

Chu Chengxun bit his lower lip, ”but Duan Wang can't just watch those princes enter the east palace.”

The emperor sighed faintly, ”that's why I want you to control Duan Wang. He can assist in government affairs, but he can't be the emperor.”

”Why does the emperor dislike Duan Wang so much,” Chu Chengxun said strangely, ”is it because Mrs. Heyi, she has been so many years, not to mention that Duan Wang is your own son.”

”I know, but I can't tell you more about Mrs. Heyi,” the emperor lowered his eyelids. ”In short, I have only one purpose to let you come back. I can only control the Duan king, so that he can only be a prince, not an emperor.”

Chu Chengxun told the truth directly, ”the emperor also knows that the king's wings are becoming more and more abundant, which has the potential to surpass the monarch. There are many of his people in the court. It's not an easy thing to control him.”

The emperor waved his hand, ”don't worry, I will try my best to help you behind your back. You are also a prince. Your appeal can naturally control Duanwang. I entrust you with this intention.”

Chu Chengxun turned his eyes and moved in his heart, ”I understand that I will do my best to the emperor.”

”It's hard for you to come back and help me. I don't know how to thank you,” the emperor patted him on the shoulder. ”After a hundred years, I will give you a satisfactory gift.”

Chu Chengxun lowered his head with a smile. ”I have no complaints when I work for the imperial brother.”

Xi yuhou waited at the gate of the palace for a long time. Finally, he saw a white figure in front of him. He quickly picked up the gauze clothes and put them on him. ”When the LORD went in, why didn't he even put on the gauze clothes? The humidity in the palace is heavy. Don't hurt your body.”

”The heating in the study is the most sufficient. After all, the Yang is heavy. The concubines in the back Palace are rushing to rub the Yang,” Chu Chengxun said without any emotion in his eyes. ”I didn't feel cold after staying there for so long.”
