Hearing this, Xiaosi almost twisted his nose with anger.
"Auntie, I don't want you to tease people like this!"
Having said this is like saying nothing!
His mistress was not a fool. If it wasn't something important, could the Queen Mother close the door and have a secret conversation with the emperor inside
"Little monkey, why are you so anxious? Auntie didn't say anything or tell you what happened."
Su Jin smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother is here for the Emperor's marriage."
*
"What, marriage?"
In the imperial study room, Mo Chuan couldn't help but be startled and looked at Empress Dowager Zhou.
"Mom, are you kidding me? I am already married, and I have sworn an oath that I will never marry another woman in this life."
Queen Mother Zhou slowly shook her head and said seriously: "The Ai family has been talking to you for a long time. I thought you already understood it, but I didn't expect that you still don't understand."
Mo Chuan lowered his eyes: "My son, I respectfully listen to my mother's teachings."
"Okay, since you don't understand, then Ai Jia will tell you."
Empress Dowager Zhou felt a little dry in the mouth and wanted to drink a cup of tea. When she reached out to get the teacup, she found that the teacup had been swept to the ground in a rage and turned into pieces.
"If you don't mind, Queen Mother, just drink this cup of tea from my son."
Mo Chuan poured out the cold tea in his cup, made hot tea again, and placed his hands in front of Queen Mother Zhou.
Queen Mother Zhou reached out to take it, drank it slowly, and placed the tea cup on the table.
"Eastern Qin and Nanyue have formed an alliance." She said lightly.
"What!"
Mo Chuan was shocked again.
"How did the queen know this news? Why didn't I hear anything about it?" He asked in surprise.
You must know that whether it is Eastern Qin or Nanyue, there are detailed operations he sent out in both the government and the public.
Of course, he believed that there were also eyes and ears from the other three countries above the court of Xi Chu.
But the Empress Dowager Zhou knew the news that he had not heard, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hands and said: "How the Ai family knew about it is not important. What is important is what consequences this news will bring to us in Western Chu. Emperor, have you thought about it?"
Mo Chuan showed a wry smile: "What else is unexpected about this? Dong Qin and Nanyue have always been eyeing me, Xi Chu, and wanted to take it into their hands. However, when the two fought, it was me, Xi Chu, who gained. It's better to merge them into one, and then divide them into separate parts after taking over Western Chu. In the past few years, this matter has been the most worrying thing for my sons and ministers. Dong Qin had previously sent envoys to secretly meet with the King of Nanyue to discuss an alliance, but they were blocked. The King of Nanyue refused without hesitation and cut the East Qin envoy into pieces and threw his body to feed the dogs, which angered the East Qin Dynasty. As a result, the relationship between the two families became sour and there was no contact between them. "
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded: "Yes, but the situation has changed. This time South Vietnam invaded Western Chu, but returned in vain. The King of South Vietnam lost his prestige. As long as Dong Qin once again shows its goodwill and proposes an alliance at this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it at all." I can't refuse. Regardless of whether it's Eastern Qin or Nanyue, no matter who comes to invade Western Chu, we have General Shen and we don't have to be afraid. However, an alliance between the two will be a great disadvantage to Western Chu. Although the borders between the two countries are We are still standing still, but we are worried if we are far away!”
Mo Chuan frowned tightly and said nothing.
If the news brought by Empress Dowager Zhou was true, it would be a really troublesome and headache-inducing matter for him.
There is only one General Shen, and even if there is a second General Shen, Xichu's military strength will never be able to defeat the coalition forces of the two countries, not to mention that the national strength has been depleted in recent years due to annual tribute.
