I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 211 Kaiyuan

Yuelu City, the capital of Chu.

After many days, when Chu Zhao saw his wife, children, relatives and friends, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The same went for everyone else, everyone had a smile on their face, except for Queen Yue Yao, who was holding the eldest prince Chu An, and had a somewhat cold expression on her face.

"why?"

Yueyao's nonsensical questioning made Chu Zhao stunned for a moment.

However, he soon understood what his wife meant.

More than half a month had passed, and the news that he had ordered a massacre had already reached Yuelu.

With Yueyao's saintly heart, it goes without saying that she cannot accept such a thing as a city massacre.

Chu Zhao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Chu Yi, who was holding her nephew Yue Kang, said, "Your Majesty, you were impulsive in the matter of the massacre."

It can be seen that his sister probably thought that he didn't know the reason why Yueyao questioned her, so she said this on purpose.

"Well, I was impulsive."

Although he said so, Chu Zhao looked indifferent and had no intention of admitting his mistake.

This made Yueyao very angry: "The people are innocent, they are all living people."

"You all tell me that the people are innocent, but are the people of Western Chu innocent?"

Chu Zhao's tone was clearly filled with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "I gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it. If the same situation happens in Yunlin City again, I will still order a massacre in the city!"

"You..." Yue Yao was furious. She stuffed her son into Yin Luoxia's arms and walked away angrily.

The couple reunited after a long separation, but parted on bad terms!

Seeing that Chu Zhao didn't make any move, Chu Wei hurriedly said, "Why don't you go and try to persuade him?"

She was very satisfied with Yueyao, her brother's wife. Apart from the fact that she was a little too kind and seemed a bit soft-hearted, there was nothing wrong with her in other aspects.

What's more crucial is that my brother's wife gave birth to two big fat boys for the Chu family, continuing the Chu family's incense. Just based on this point, my brother's wife cannot be wronged.

"Don't go."

It is impossible to persuade him.

It is undeniable that there was some impulse in the massacre at that time.

But if he had to do it again, he would still order a massacre.

Because only in this way can the soldiers of Beili know that he, the Emperor Chu Zhao of Western Chu, is not threatened!
At the same time, it is also telling the people of the world that no matter who it is, as long as they dare to attack the people of Western Chu, they will suffer revenge tenfold or a hundredfold.

Of course, in addition to this, it is also to rally the people of Western Chu.

Judging from the current situation, the results are quite good, as can be seen from the fact that some civilians who were originally from Beili along the way are willing to join the army voluntarily.

Since he did nothing wrong, why should he admit his mistake to Yueyao?
If a woman is unreasonable, a man must give in?

There is no such thing in the world!

Chu Yi, of course, didn't know what her brother was thinking, so she advised, "You..."

Chu Zhao interrupted, "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Ah...let's eat first then."

It is true that she likes her brother's wife very much, but compared to her, her brother is more important.

Soon, the food was served.

In addition to Chu Zhao's siblings, there is also Yin Luoxia, the moon that came from Tianqi.

Perhaps because the couple had just had a conflict, the topic of Yueyao was deliberately avoided during the dinner table conversation.

And it was mainly Chu Ying chatting with her brother about what she had seen and heard in Yuelu City, and the new things she had seen in Yuelu City.

During this period, Chu Zhao also asked about Yueluo's life in Yuelu City.

Overall, it was pretty good, free and fulfilling.

Well, it's very fulfilling to be exact.

The girls from Tianqi Jiaofang Pavilion have arrived in Yuelu City. In order to help these girls settle down in Yuelu, Yueluo goes back to his old job and is busy all day long.

It was because he returned to Yuelu City today that Yueluo took the time out to come and see her, someone she usually couldn't see.

Compared to Yueluo's busyness, Yin Luoxia is actually very busy too.

Because the war to restore the country had begun, there were so many things to deal with that she was drafted by Yueyao.

In addition to helping Yueyao deal with affairs in the city, she also has to help take care of the two children with Chu Ying.

Fortunately, both children are relatively easy to take care of, especially the older brother Chu An, who is a quiet little handsome boy.

For example, now, he is sleeping soundly in Yin Luoxia's arms.

The younger son, Yuekang, was obviously more naughty and babbled in baby talk in his aunt's arms.

But when the meal was over, the little guy fell asleep.

By the time the two of them had settled the children and returned, Chu Zhao had disappeared.

"Aunt Yue, where are the others?"

"I went to the City Lord's Mansion." Yue Luo replied.

"My sister-in-law is angry now, and he just doesn't care?" Chu Ying asked blankly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although she is married and has children, she is still too young. It seems that she has not yet figured out the matter of love.

"Um... His Majesty said that he wanted the Queen to think more about why the city was massacred. If she can't figure it out, she can go and take a look at the conquered territories. He also asked you to tell the Queen that she has worked hard managing Yuelu City."

Chu Wei hummed and smiled, "He's not hopeless yet, otherwise I would definitely teach him a lesson."

On the other side, the city lord's mansion.

Everyone was busy, rushing in and out.

When Chu Zhao entered the room, Zhao Huai'en was discussing the allocation of food and fodder supplies with his subordinates.

It is said that the sound of gunfire is worth a fortune.

Fighting a war is an extremely expensive thing.

And no matter what era it is, the logistics support of war is always the top priority.

Hearing someone calling "Your Majesty" at the door, the people who were discussing raised their heads, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

They knew that Chu Zhao was coming back today, but the young couple had reunited after a long separation, so they must have a lot to say and things to do. They were all adults, and those who understood would understand!
So even though state affairs were busy and there were many things that needed Chu Zhao's final decision, everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb him.

As a result, no one expected that Chu Zhao would come directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

"My ministers, please pay homage to Your Majesty."

Chu Zhao waved his hand and smiled, "Has everyone eaten?"

Perhaps they didn't expect that the first thing he said would be to ask if they had eaten. Everyone present was stunned, only Zhao Huai'en nodded and smiled, "I have eaten."

Chu Zhao hummed: "Since we have eaten, let's have a meeting together."

This meeting was very long, lasting for seven full days.

During this period, Chu Zhao did not return home. He lived and ate in the City Lord's Mansion. However, Yue Yao came once and then left Yuelu City with her maid Xin'er.

It was almost New Year's Day when the master and servant came back from outside.

In addition to the two of them, there are also Wufa and Wutan from Tianwai Tian, ​​and Xie Xuan who came from Tianqi City.

At this point, except for the Wuxiang Envoy, the four great envoys of Tianwai Tian all came under Chu Zhao's command.

Although unlike the two Wuzuo envoys who surrendered on their own initiative, Wufa and Wutan only helped under the orders of Yueqing and Wuxiangshi, Chu Zhao was confident that he could make them both surrender completely before the war was over.

Chu Zhao himself felt a little embarrassed about the digging at the base of the wall.

As for Xie Xuan, he said that he came to read books and take over Chen Ru's position in the academy.

But since he was already here, it was natural that he would be drafted by Chu Zhao and asked to help Anhe set up the Supervisory Department.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the end of the year is approaching in the blink of an eye.

Zhao An, Gu Chen, Wen Lin and others who had been sent out by Chu Zhao to help also returned to Yuelu City from the front line.

The first thing Wen Lin did when he returned to Yuelu was to ask tentatively if it was possible to arrange an engagement between Chu An and his granddaughter.

Well, that is, the daughter of Wenhujiu.

The little girl was just born and looked ugly, but Wenhujiu and his wife were one handsome and one beautiful, so I think she will be a beauty in the future.

It is also worth mentioning that Wen Luoyu was pregnant, and she came to Yuelu City with Wen Lin and lived in the Wen family.

Chu Zhao could more or less guess what Wen Lin was planning. He neither agreed nor objected. He only said that the children were still young and that they should be allowed to spend more time together in the future. Whether it would succeed in the future would depend on the children's wishes.

Because of this incident, Chu Zhao thought of Su Muyu and Bai Hehuai's daughter again, and without hesitation, he added the little girl to the list of candidates for future daughter-in-law.

As for Gu Chen, Zhao An and others, they found Chu Zhao and talked about the coronation ceremony.

After all, Western Chu has been restored. No matter how small its territory is, it is still a country. All matters such as the coronation ceremony should indeed be put on the agenda.

Therefore, before the Chinese New Year, Yuelu City held a simple coronation ceremony, which foreshadowed the official restoration of the Western Chu Kingdom.

Reign: Kaiyuan.

It means opening a new era.

Afterwards, Chu Zhao issued the first official imperial edict in his life as the Emperor of Western Chu.

It was an imperial decree granting a marriage to Gu Chen and Yue Luo.

The two lovers who had wasted most of their lives finally became a legal couple.

The two got married, Chu Zhao was the person who granted the marriage and also the witness, and was forced to drink a lot of wine.

In a daze, he had a beautiful dream, hehehehe... an indescribable dream of being hugged by girls on both sides.

As a result, when he woke up the next day, he was completely confused.

Because there are two real beauties beside him.

"What's going on?"

Yueyao rubbed her sleepy eyes and said unhappily, "You got it for free."

"I……"

Chu Zhao turned his head and glanced at Yin Luoxia who was pretending to sleep in the innermost circle. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

What kind of thing is it that your wife sends you a woman?

Chu Zhao sighed: "Why?"

The reason why we do this is actually very simple.

Firstly, she really couldn't handle it all by herself. She felt like she was about to fall apart every time and needed someone to share the firepower.

Furthermore, she noticed that her best sister was interested in her husband. Chu Zhao was now the emperor, and the eunuch Zhao An had already begun to secretly prepare for the selection of a concubine, which meant that a concubine would be selected to enter the palace sooner or later. Rather than giving it to others, it would be better for her best friend to give it to her.

After all, good things should be kept within the family.

Yue Yao naturally couldn't tell Chu Zhao these words, so she just stretched out her hand and pushed him away: "Why so many whys, go and deal with government affairs."

"You are really good, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Yueyao interrupted him irritably, "Don't be so ungrateful, get out of here..."

Chu Zhao: "..."

To be honest, he never thought of taking a wife.

Although Yueyao is sometimes too sanctimonious and makes people depressed, which inevitably leads to a quarrel, isn't that what life is like? Even upper and lower teeth can fight sometimes, let alone quarrels between husband and wife.

Therefore, one person is enough in this life.

But then again, as a man, who can resist the temptation of enjoying the best of both worlds?
Not to mention, Yin Luoxia is a great beauty who could be called a fairy in the future.

So, at the beginning of the first year of Kaiyuan, Yin Luoxia was made a concubine and entered the palace, becoming Chu Zhao's second woman.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and time has quietly come to the early autumn of the first year of Kaiyuan in Western Chu.

In the past six months, there have been many happy events.

First of all, it’s about pregnancy.

Yueyao and Yin Luoxia are both pregnant. In addition to them, Yueluo is also pregnant with what looks like a son.

There was also Wen Luoyu, who was pregnant at the Wen family. She had just given birth to a son for the Baili family. Baili Chengfeng then brought people to Yuelu and started a business with the support of the Wen family. He had no intention of leaving.

As for Baili Luochen, no one knew what kind of deal he made with Xiao Chongjing, but he actually did not fight against the Western Chu army. Instead, he brought the Pofeng Army to replace the Flying Tiger Army in the north to resist the barbarians coming from the south.

Secondly, there is war.

With the help of guns and artillery, the Western Chu army was unstoppable and the battle went very smoothly.

Although Western Chu has not yet recovered all of its territory, it has more than doubled compared to when his father was in power.

The key point is that the border of Western Chu is very stable. Although it has experienced the baptism of war, the atmosphere is prosperous and an unprecedented prosperous era is looming in sight.

Of course, in addition to happy events, there are also sad things.

The first to bear the brunt of the attack was his senior brother, Lu Suzhen, the head of Wangcheng Mountain.

In order to change the fate of his young disciple Zhao Yuzhen, he was retaliated by heaven and was seriously injured.

Chu Zhao went to see it. The Furnace Sutra, which had always been effective, had little effect the first time around. It could only alleviate the injuries caused by the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, but could not heal them at all.

Next are Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun.

Half a year ago, Yi Wenjun, who had settled in the south, was tricked by Yi Bu into returning to Tianqi City with a lie that she would soon die. She then became the concubine of Prince Jingyu and became pregnant with the future Prince Chi - Xiao Yu.

During this period, Ye Dingzhi also went to Tianqi City to grab the bride just like in the plot.

Unfortunately, he failed, and instead caused Yu Shengmo, who went to Apocalypse City with him, to be seriously injured.

I don’t know why Ye Dingzhi did that, but he didn’t tell him about going to Tianqi City to kidnap someone.

By the time Chu Zhao received the news from the spies in Tianqi City, Yu Shengmo was already dead and there was no hope of saving him!

Because of this incident, Chu Zhao beat Ye Dingzhi up and threatened that he would no longer care about Ye Dingzhi's affairs.

In the end, I don’t know whether it is a happy event or a sad event.

It was my sister-in-law Yue Qing who fell in love with Baili Dongjun.

Like Zhong Yueyao in the original plot, she was willing to let go of her hatred and follow Baili Dongjun to roam the world.

The key point is that Baili Dongjun doesn’t like her, and she has completely become a female lickspittle.

This really surprised Chu Zhao. He couldn't understand why. In the end, he could only sigh that the horn halo of Lord Baili Dong was too powerful.

Because of Yue Qing's choice, Tianwai Tian has now become a situation where three parties are competing against each other.

One side is led by Wuxiangshi, who is determined to use the power of Western Chu to recover the territory of Beique.

One side is led by Zi Yuji and Mo Qixuan, who advocate welcoming the young master Yue Kang back to Tianwai Tian.

In other words, let Yue Yao take her son back to Tianwai Tian temporarily to support the affairs of the sect and wait for the sect leader Yue Fengcheng to come out of seclusion.

The last party is led by the two soul officers Feili and Feizhan. They just want to stay in Tianwaitian and not get involved in the affairs of the Central Plains.

However, it is worth mentioning that Feili and Feizhan have been in contact with Ye Dingzhi recently, obviously trying to pull Ye Dingzhi into Tianwai Tian.

Chu Zhao was too lazy to ask what the two brothers' plan was to get Ye Dingzhi to join them.

To be precise, he would not care about anything in Tianwaitian.

Firstly, his identity was quite embarrassing. Although he was the son-in-law of Tianwaitian, he was also the emperor of Western Chu. If he got involved in the affairs of Tianwaitian, it would inevitably make people suspect that he had ulterior motives.

Typical thankless job.

Furthermore, Western Chu had just recovered and there were a lot of state affairs. He was too busy to handle them all and had no time to care about the affairs of Tianwai Tian.

Yueyao wanted to go back and deal with the problem, but she was pregnant and it was inconvenient, so she had to put it on hold for the time being.

On this day, Chu Zhao had a rare chance to rest.

It just so happened that the two little ones were a bit restless at home, so he was ordered by his two pregnant wives to take the kids for a walk.

The little ones, who were just over one year old, walked crookedly and tripped from time to time, but Chu Zhao was not in a hurry. He let them crawl on the ground, and if they couldn't get up, he would give them a hand.

But he is not in a hurry, there is always someone who is.

For example: Zhao An who came in a hurry.

Seeing the two princes fall to the ground, he hurriedly picked them up one in each hand.

It can be seen that he really wanted to criticize Chu Zhao's way of raising children, but he didn't dare to speak because of his status. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"looking for me?"

"Your Majesty, the news just came that Ye Dingzhi has entered the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Chu Zhao hummed calmly, "We in Xichu will not interfere in the affairs of Tianwaitian. You don't need to pay attention to Tianwaitian anymore. And Ye Dingzhi, I don't want to hear any news about him anymore."

Yu Shengmo’s death was ultimately an unsolvable knot in his heart.

Zhao An nodded and said, "Your Majesty, there is another piece of news. Seven days ago, the army broke through Chaisang City, and Gu Jianmen and Lei Mengsha, two of the Eight Princes of Beili, were captured. General Li requested permission to continue northward to recapture the entire Runzhou."

Chu Zhao was startled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Send a message to Li Junxin, and tell him to hold his troops until I go to Chaisang City."

Zhao An was shocked: "Your Majesty, are you going to the front line?"

"Yes, I plan to split my forces into two groups..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao An interrupted, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

Chu Zhao shook his head and said happily: "I have been thinking about it for more than half a month."

Zhao An opened his mouth to persuade him, but Chu Zhao beat him to it: "Master Eunuch, you don't have to say anything. I have made up my mind!"
