"He wants to use us as a gun."

Although Prince Chu wanted to keep his position as a foreign king and didn't want to return to the capital, he didn't want to participate in a rebellion. The emperor was cruel, and Prince An was not much better. So he just wanted to save his own life. As for his brothers, they could fight if they wanted.

"Do you mean you don't want to go?" Princess Chu looked at Prince Chu.

"Go, why not go, go and see what they want."

"Then there is the Emperor."

Hearing what Princess Chu said, Prince Chu comforted her.

"Don't worry, Princess. I won't get involved in their affairs, and you don't have to be afraid of the Emperor either."

When the Princess of Chu heard Prince Chu say this, she felt a little uneasy. She had witnessed the palace coup more than a decade ago, and after the death of the previous emperor, the emperor ascended the throne. Over the years, she had always felt that the emperor would not let the prince and his brothers go.

If the crown prince ascended the throne first, these princes would definitely behave themselves and the situation would not be as chaotic as it is now.

"Your Majesty, have you heard about the incident at Zhaixing Tower?"

"I heard that the emperor is really confused now."

The border is in turmoil, and now there is grain theft in Jiangnan. There may be similar situations in other places. The emperor does not want to find out everything and rectify corrupt officials, but only wants to live a long life.

How could the emperor believe in that elixir?

How could there be an elixir in this world that can make people live a hundred years longer, unless it is some unorthodox method?

However, he would not rush to speak out about these things now. Otherwise, if he angered the emperor, it would be difficult for him and the princess to return to Chu.

Now the emperor is not willing to let them return to their fiefdoms because he is afraid that they will unite and rebel after returning.

Prince An was welcoming his royal brothers who came to visit his mansion.

"Brother An."

"Hello, royal brothers." Prince An greeted them with a smile.

"Brother An, you look much better than before."

"Thanks to the emperor for sending a royal doctor to treat me, I'm recovering well."

Prince An greeted the other princes.

royal palace.

When the emperor heard that Prince An was entertaining all the princes, his face became extremely gloomy.

“It’s important to know what they are talking about.”

In the days after the Chinese New Year, all the princes had submitted petitions, wanting to return to their fiefdoms. But he had never granted permission. Now that Prince An was hosting a banquet for these princes, how could he not suspect in his heart that these royal brothers must be planning a rebellion?

The granary in Jiangnan was stolen, and there was also the mine incident. If it wasn't his royal brothers, it would have been Mobei and the Northern Territory. In short, these people were all ambitious and he would never forgive them.

The emperor felt murderous again.

"Your Majesty, news just came from Jiangnan that County Magistrate Meng led the people of Mingzhou to fight the pirates. It was a great victory..."

The emperor entered the imperial study, where the cabinet ministers and the six ministers were all there.

Hearing the words of the Minister of War, the smile on the emperor's face became even more intense.

"Tell me in detail."

The Minister of War immediately reported the news from below.

The ministers also had happy expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty is wise. If you hadn't arranged County Magistrate Meng in Mingzhou, County Magistrate Meng wouldn't have made such a great contribution..."

Lord Pei attributed all the credit to the emperor's ability to use people well.

Hearing Lord Pei's words, the emperor smiled even more.

When several adults looked at Master Pei, they couldn't help but look down on him. Master Pei was really good at turning black into white.
