Chapter 325 The Emperor and the Regent of Da Chu are good-tempered
Dongfang Kangning, a small man, stood in the court of Da Chu with a straight posture, and his aura was in no way inferior to those older officials.
He raised his chin slightly and looked at Xu Tian. "From what Prime Minister Xu said, you strongly disagree with my father's order?"
Xu Tian snorted coldly, "Little Prince, Li Mulan is a citizen of our Great Chu, the legitimate granddaughter of our imperial tutor. How can she be the princess of your Tianlang country? Wouldn't it be a joke if you tell others about this? Besides, she is the future regent princess of our Great Chu. Have you forgotten that?"
Chu Chenfeng alone is difficult to deal with, and now he has to marry the granddaughter of that old man Li Cong. It turns out that this stinky girl has such a strong backer. How can he not be wary of her?
"Of course I haven't forgotten. I came all the way to Da Chu just to attend the wedding of my junior master."
Xu Tian's face was full of arrogance. "It's good that the little prince knows. It's better not to mention things that are difficult for others. Our two countries have been friendly for many years, and we can't let this hurt the harmony. Don't you think so?"
Dongfang Kangning looked puzzled. "Forcing someone to do something difficult? Forcing whom? Prime Minister Xu, you?"
"you!"
A hint of admiration flashed across Chu Jie's eyes as he sat on the throne, but it only lasted for a moment, and then he looked numb and sleepy again.
Dongfang Kangning smiled, his smile was unusually innocent, "You Da Chu are really different from me, Tian Lang. The emperor is here, the regent is here, and they haven't said anything yet, and you, a prime minister, can actually bypass them and directly reject my father's kindness. Does the Great Chu have the final say, Prime Minister Xu? If it were my father, he would have lost his head. The emperor and regent of the Great Chu are good-tempered."
Xu Tian was angry at first, then terrified, and immediately knelt down in front of Chu Jie, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Regent, please forgive me, I was so angry that I spoke nonsense... I deserve to die."
The Regent Chu Chenfeng, who originally sat below Chu Jie, was still resting with his eyes closed. Not only was he sitting on a soft couch, but he also had tea served beside him. He felt very comfortable. It was estimated that he was the only one in the entire Chu State who enjoyed such treatment.
At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and it was impossible to tell his emotion.
He rarely went to court, and today he came to see the prince of Tianlang Country because he knew he was coming. After all, he was Li Mulan's junior, and it was not good for him to be bullied. Although, he didn't think anyone could really bully him.
"Since you know you are wrong, then leave. Tianlang Country and our Great Chu are on good terms, and the Crown Prince of Tianlang Country is an honored guest. You should use your brain when you speak next time."
Xu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Then he stood up and walked back, glancing at a few people and giving some orders calmly.
Zhang Zheng was the first to stand up. "Your Majesty, Prince, the Prime Minister's words may have been a little inappropriate, but his intentions were good. After all, my granddaughter is a citizen of the Great Chu. How can she be the princess of the Tianlang Kingdom? This is unreasonable."
Chu Chenfeng narrowed his eyes, not feeling very good, "Granddaughter? Who is Minister Zhang talking about?"
A father who has cut off ties with his own daughter is now eager to acknowledge his granddaughter? Haha, ridiculous.
Zhang Zheng's face flushed instantly. He naturally understood the deep meaning of Chu Chenfeng's words. "This old minister is talking about... the granddaughter of Master Li."
Chu Chenfeng did not continue to dwell on this topic, and looked at Li Cong, "What about Master Li, what do you say?"
Li Cong stepped out respectfully, "Lan'er is my granddaughter, but this is a matter of diplomatic relations between our two countries, so I dare not make the decision. I will obey the emperor in everything."
Chu Jie seemed to come to his senses at this moment, blinking his big eyes at Chu Chenfeng.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers said nothing but sighed in their hearts. In this Great Chu, the Regent still has the final say.
Dongfang Corning saw all of this. This Da Chu is really interesting.
Chu Chenfeng didn't even look at Chu Jie, "What does the emperor think?"
Chu Jie looked at Chu Chenfeng, then at Dongfang Kangning, "I will listen to my uncle."
Ministers hurriedly stepped out from the court and said, "Your Majesty, this matter... this is something that you have to decide for yourself."
"Yes, there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects. Your Majesty, you cannot rely on the Regent for everything. You are the emperor now."
"Yes, yes, this... is not appropriate."
"The Prince Regent must think so. Your Majesty will make the decision on this matter."
"This is a matter concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is no small matter."
······
The court instantly became like a vegetable market, smoky and noisy.
Chu Jie looked at Chu Chenfeng in embarrassment, and found that he had no reaction at all. He said hesitantly, "Then...then let's do as the Crown Prince of Tianlang said?"
The ministers of the Prime Minister's party jumped out again, "No, Your Majesty, she is the future Regent Princess, how can she be a princess of another country, this...what is going on?"
Dongfang Kangning sneered and did not seem so serious in the court.
Zhang Zheng looked at Dongfang Kangning with a serious face at this moment, "Little Prince, we are discussing serious matters. What do you mean by your smile? Is this your country's sincerity?"
"I didn't mean that. I just found it ridiculous to see you act this way. Your emperor has clearly said that he is willing to accept my father's proposal, but you ministers disagree. Isn't that ridiculous? And you still say that you want the emperor to make the decision?"
Zhang Zheng choked, but still said, "As important officials of the Great Chu, we naturally have to eat the salary of the emperor and share the worries of the emperor..."
"Snapped!"
Chu Chenfeng put the cup in his hand on the table beside him, and everyone who looked at him felt their hearts rise to their throats.
Chu Chenfeng stood up slowly, "Since you are my princess, I have the final say on this matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the discussion below began to buzz.
"Our Great Chu and Tianlang have been on good terms for decades. My princess is fortunate to be the Princess Yong'an of Tianlang. This is a blessing for me and for Great Chu. Yong'an means that our Great Chu and Tianlang will be on good terms forever. Little prince, is what I said correct?"
Dongfang Kangning gave Chu Chenfeng face and bowed earnestly, "The Regent is wise. Before I came to Da Chu, my father asked me to convey his intention to Da Chu. As long as Princess Yong'an stays in Da Chu, Tianlang Country and Da Chu will be allies. I wonder if the Regent is satisfied with this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court began to riot again.
Now even the Prime Minister's party did not dare to speak. What could they say? If they spoke, they would be deliberately disrupting the friendly relations between Tianlang Kingdom and Da Chu, and they would be guilty of a serious crime.
Chu Chenfeng glanced at the ministers who were whispering below and said, "Of course I am satisfied. What about you, are you satisfied?"
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Li Cong stepped out first, "Your Majesty is wise! The Regent is wise!"
Afterwards, continuous shouts of “Your Majesty is wise! The Regent is wise!” resounded throughout the hall.
