This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 126

Great Chu Dynasty, the imperial capital.

Royal Palace.

In Qionghua Palace, a child who was only five or six years old was running in the palace, chasing and frolicking with more than a dozen court ladies, giggling and laughing from time to time.

Although all the maids teased the child from time to time, their movements and expressions were extremely cautious, for fear that one of them would accidentally trip the child or cause offense.

Because the child was wearing an orange royal robe and a delicate crown on his head.

Obviously, he is the young emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, Chu Yan.

When Chu Yan was innocent and fond of playing around, he would play hide-and-seek games with the court ladies almost every day, which was the honor of all the court ladies.

However, two months ago, because Chu Yan accidentally slipped and fell on a few pieces of water, the Empress Dowager Chu was furious and directly ordered the staff to kill seven or eight court ladies and eunuchs.

After this incident, the errand of playing with the little emperor became one of the most dangerous errands. Every maid or eunuch who participated had to work hard to avoid following in the footsteps of those people.

"Yan'er, come here."

At a certain moment, following a warm calling sound, the smile on the little emperor Chu Yan's face froze for an instant, and then he took off the blindfolded silk scarf with his mouth held back, and walked dejectedly to the inside of the hall.

As for the ladies in the palace, they also hurriedly stopped laughing, lowered their heads, and ran quickly with small steps, standing in two rows on both sides of the gate.

On the stairs in the main hall, there is a long short-legged imperial case, and behind the imperial case is a soft mat covered with orange silk cloth and silk.

This soft bed was originally exclusive to the Great Chu Emperor, however, at this moment, there was a woman sitting upright on this soft bed.

Looking up, the woman has a handsome appearance and a dignified frame. It seems that she is only in her thirties.

She was wearing a luxurious orange and red robe, embroidered with auspicious clouds and ostriches, and the lower half of the robe exposed a golden shirt and a moon-white tube top, showing a dignified atmosphere.

Her black hair is coiled into a cicada bun, her eyebrows are like spring willows, her eyes are like autumn waves, the center of her eyebrows is dotted with golden peony flowers, and her vermilion lips contain a little cinnabar.

She is the Empress Dowager of Chu, Mi Yan.

"Mother..."

Chu Yan walked up the stairs with small steps, stood in front of the imperial case who was not a few points taller than him, respectfully saluted Mi Yan, and at the same time called softly in a childish voice.

Although Chu Yan is still young, he already has the basic cognition.

He knew that although the Queen Mother was not his own mother, he must not disobey her words!
Because the queen mother is the king of the entire Great Chu Dynasty, he was able to ascend the throne and become emperor, all thanks to the support of the queen mother.

Moreover, he has already experienced the fate of not listening to the Queen Mother...

That was three months ago, when he wanted to climb to the beam to watch birds, the maids, eunuchs, and best little playmates who accompanied him tried to persuade him not to let him go up.

Because the Empress Dowager had ordered that she was not allowed to make such risky moves.

But he didn't listen and just climbed up.

As a result, the queen mother punished him to starve and stand for a whole night, and then beat those maids and eunuchs severely in front of him, and even beat his little playmate to death!
All of this happened before his eyes. Seeing his best playmate being killed with a stick, and even splashed with blood on his body and cheeks, Chu Yan was so frightened that he peed on his pants. Retching, almost vomiting all the bitter bile.

Since then, the seeds of fear have been deeply buried in Chu Yan's young heart, making him dare not disobey the Queen Mother's words again!
"Come here, sit here, queen mother."

Mi Yan raised her smooth and slender right hand and patted the limpness on her side, and greeted Chu Yan with a loving face and a smile on her face.

"Yes."

Chu Yan abducted Yu An, and sat obediently next to Mi Yan.

"Are you tired from running? Come, eat a peach."

Mi Yan said with a smile, and handed a juicy peach to Chu Yan.

"Thank you, Queen Mother~"

Chu Yan giggled, picked up the peach and wanted to gnaw it.

However, when his teeth touched Tao Zi, Chu Yan paused again, then narrowed his mouth, stopped shaking his legs, took a small bite, and at the same time carefully peeked at Mi Yan.

"Good boy."

A smile appeared in Mi Yan's eyes, and she raised her hand to touch Chu Yan's head.

"Don't blame the queen mother for being strict with you. You are the emperor, and every move you make represents the face of the Great Chu royal family, and even the entire Great Chu dynasty."

"So, those etiquette and rules must not be neglected, understand?"

Chu Yan hurriedly nodded, and said crisply: "Yes, my son knows that everything the queen mother does and asks is for my own good, and my son understands."

"good."

Mi Yan smiled, her eyes were more satisfied.

After more than a hundred breaths, an eunuch bowed his head and walked in from outside the hall.

"Report to the Queen Mother, King Xiu asks to see you."

Mi Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and after rubbing her smooth Qiong's nose with her orchid fingers wearing a bright jade ring, she spoke softly.

"Let him in."

"Yes~"

Not long after, a young, well-proportioned and delicate man walked into the hall.

This person's name is Chu Lixuan, and he is the Xiuwang of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Chu Lixuan is the younger brother of the First Emperor of Great Chu, and his mother is Mi Yan's aunt, so he has a close relationship with the Mi family, and also has a close relationship with the cousin Mi Yan.

In fact, Chu Lixuan still has a different kind of affection for Mi Yan, but it's a pity that his brother who is more than 20 years older gets ahead of him.

After that, he changed his target to Wanyan Yaoyao, the fifth princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he was quite persistent, as if he wanted to make up for the regret he had on Mi Yan from Wanyan Yaoyao.

A year ago, when the Great Chu Emperor suddenly died, Chu Lixuan saw hope again.

However, Mi Yan has always kept a certain distance from him, as close as ever...

Regarding this, although Chu Lixuan was so anxious that his teeth itched, he could only hold back his emotions and slowly figure it out.

Mi Yan is the empress dowager, and she has excellent mind and methods. She supported the young emperor to listen to the government behind the curtain, and justifiably controlled the government.

And he is the iron hat king who was won by military exploits. He has a high prestige in the army and holds the most elite army in Dachu.

The two of them cooperated tacitly and advanced and retreated together, only in this way can they control the court of Dachu.

But if something goes wrong between the two of them, or even turns against each other, they will only be defeated one by one by the quietly dormant political enemies waiting for an opportunity!

"Chendi, pay homage to the Queen Mother."

Chu Lixuan cupped his fists towards Mi Yan, with a hearty smile on his face.

"King Xiu doesn't need to be too polite."

Mi Yan nodded slightly, and glanced at a middle-aged court lady standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Show King Xiu a seat."

"Yes~"

After Chu Lixuan was seated, he glanced at the maids and eunuchs in the palace, and stared at the little emperor Chu Yan who was sitting beside Mi Yan gnawing a peach, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"Queen, my brother has a secret matter to discuss with you, you see..."

Mi Yanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she waved her hand at the two teams of maids at the gate of the hall.

"You wait and go first."

"Yes~"

Seeing this, Chu Lixuan frowned slightly.

Because Mi Yan just waved back the court ladies who played with Chu Yan, besides that, there were four court ladies and two eunuchs in the palace, but Mi Yan didn't seem to want to send them out as well.

"The Queen Mother..."

Mi Yan raised her hand to interrupt, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, King Xiu, they are all confidantes of the Ai family, and they will not talk too much. As for Yan'er, he is the emperor, and he has the right to know everything in the world."

Chu Lixuan felt helpless, he knew that today was hopeless again.

After sighing lightly, Chu Lixuan nodded slowly.

"Since that's the case, the younger brother will speak directly."

"Queen Mother, you also know what Empress Dajin means, but why do you want to stop your younger brother from sending troops?"

"As far as we are concerned, the marriage and alliance with Dajin is beneficial and harmless. After all, Dajin is now a dying camel, and we can learn a lot of treasures from it."

"Besides, the Daxia Dynasty is too strong. If we don't stop it and allow Daxia to annex Dajin, then don't say that I am a Dachu. Even if we work together from the five dynasties, I am afraid that we may not be able to destroy it 100%!"

"The Queen Mother should understand this truth, right?"

Mi Yan raised her eyelids, causing her shiny black eyelashes to shake slightly.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of the tea, Mi Yan slowly shook her head.

"What King Xiu said is indeed reasonable. However, King Xiu should also know that it is only the meaning of Empress Dajin, not the explicit statement of Emperor Dajin."

"What if Da Jin turns his face and refuses to admit it after I, Da Chu, sent troops?"

"In addition, I believe King Xiu also knows about the western border. That mixed vein has huge reserves, and the scale is definitely large."

"Now, the armies of the two dynasties are confronting each other there, and if one is not careful, the gun will go off."

"If I, Da Chu, sent troops to invade Daxia, but on the other side, our army fought against Dajin's army, wouldn't it be the laughing stock of the whole world?"

Listening to Mi Yan's narration, Chu Lixuan frowned.

"Queen Mother, you must know that the Great Golden Emperor Capital has already been breached by the Great Xia army..."

"Of course the Ai family knows, and the Ai family also knows that the Dajin emperor Wanyan Song, as well as the empress, prince and other core members of the Dajin royal family have escaped."

Mi Yan said casually, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"However, this is a good thing for me, Da Chu. Isn't it?"

Chu Lixuan was taken aback for a moment, and after a while of contemplation, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"The queen mother means that I, Da Chu, can send troops, but I want to obtain that mixed vein?"

"Not bad!"

Mi Yan nodded with a smile, got up and started pacing on the imperial steps.

With this rise, Mi Yan's proud figure was fully revealed.

Her chin was raised slightly, her jade neck was slender and smooth, and between glances, she possessed the overbearing majesty of being in control of power and taking life or death.

Coupled with the noble queen mother's robe, it is even more dignified.

Chu Lixuan stared at Mi Yan without blinking, and the fire in his heart slowly rose.

Proud, noble, dignified, and enchanting, this woman seems to be on top of the clouds, despising everything.

But it is precisely this kind of lofty and noble temperament that is more seductive.

He swore that one day, he would conquer Mi Yan!

He wanted to know what the noble and proud woman would look like at that time!
"The current Dajin is really in a desperate situation, and only in this situation, they will agree to spit out the fat."

"The Ai family has ordered the people of the Anlin Division to find and contact the Golden Emperor. As long as they find it, the Ai family believes that Wanyan Song will not refuse."

After hearing Mi Yan's consideration, Chu Lixuan finally showed a smile on his face.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Master Guo of the Dark Lin Division, please see me."

"Huh? So fast?"

Mi Yan blinked in surprise, and the smile in her eyes grew a little stronger.

"Xuan."

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a mole on his forehead hurried in.

"Queen, something happened..."

Mi Yan's smile faltered, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

She thought Guo Lin was here to report good news, but she didn't expect that he came to report sorrow.

"What happened?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the people of Daxia have found the Great Jin Emperor Wanyan Song!"

"what?!"

Mi Yan's expression changed instantly, her crimson lips parted slightly in astonishment, and Chu Lixuan also stood up in shock.

Guo Lin didn't have time to take care of the shocked hearts of the two, and continued to tell.

"More importantly, the people of Great Xia did not kill Wan Yan Song and the others, but made a gesture of protection, as if to escort them back to the Great Golden Capital!"

Mi Yan and Chu Lixuan looked at each other, and their expressions became extremely serious, even a little ugly.

Although I don't know exactly what happened, but this situation is not a good sign...
