The emperor's tone was light, not unhappy, but definitely not happy.
The unnamed old eunuch's heart skipped a beat. Combined with the emperor's recent decisions and actions, he knew in his heart that the emperor should now feel that Chu Mo's danger was greater than his contribution.
Considering it from the emperor's point of view, it seems that this is indeed the case!
If Chu Mo is gone now, Daxia will become safer and more beautiful!
The primordial stone veins on the Tianduan Mountain Range were completely gone. The emperor didn't say anything about it, but in his heart, he felt a little unhappy.
People are like this, the first consideration is always their own interests.
It's just that the emperor is like this, it can't be said that he did anything wrong, it just makes people feel that he is very ruthless.
One moment, he was full of "my thousand-mile horse" and "Da Xia's miracle son", but the next moment, he felt that this person was too dangerous and would bring Da Xia into trouble...
"If Your Majesty really thinks that Mr. Chu...is not suitable to stay in Daxia, then after coming back this time, after conferring rewards...it's better...just send him to the fief." The unknown old eunuch thought about it and said slowly.
"Fiefdom? Where can I entrust it to him?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the unknown old eunuch.
The nameless old eunuch said indifferently: "Didn't the emperor say that all the territory of Daqi he conquered will be granted to him?"
"I... indeed said so, but now he has no soldiers or generals, how can he fight alone?" The emperor said indifferently: "Anyway, I... will not hand over any military power to him."
The nameless old eunuch secretly sighed in his heart, and then said: "In this case, in fact, the emperor can tell him this..."
…
"Chu Mo, you have also seen the current situation. Although Daqi has suffered heavy losses, in the end, they still have the strength to fight. Therefore, I have no choice but to dispatch people for you. After the canonization ceremony tomorrow, You are the real King of Chu, and it is not appropriate to stay on Daxia's side. But you have no soldiers or generals, and about your fief... I am also a little worried about you."
The emperor looked at Chu Mo in front of him, with a helpless smile on his face, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty once said that since I have been named King of Chu, I should have the right to recruit troops, right?" Chu Mo also smiled slightly, looking at the emperor.
He had just returned to Yanhuang City last night, and before he even had time to meet Gao Dasha, who had defected to him, he was recruited into the imperial palace early this morning.
"That's what I said, but you boy... you can't poach my corner! Daxia's soldiers and horses... can't be given to you." The emperor looked at Chu Mo half-truthfully and said.
Chu Mo shook his head: "How could I do such a thing? Anyway, Great Xia... is my motherland. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never do such a thing. But... if someone actively wants to follow me Together...to build a new home, the emperor will never stop him, right?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chu Mo warily: "What do you mean?"
"The people of Great Xia." Chu Mo said with a bitter face: "The emperor can't let me be a bare-bones Chu king! When the time comes, Daqi will send some troops at random... and take back all my territories. In that way, it will not be of any benefit to us in Daxia, will it?"
The emperor's heart moved slightly, and he was a little annoyed that this little thing actually threatened me with this...
However, the emperor also knew in his heart that his recent series of actions were indeed a little too much for Chu Mo.
The civil and military officials of the whole court saw it, although they didn't say anything, but in their hearts, they couldn't help thinking that the emperor was a little heartless and ungrateful.
Chu Mo's contribution to Great Xia is obvious to all.
The battle of the Tianduan Mountains that determined the fate of the two countries, if it were not for the information that Chu Mo got back by mistake, the one who is now in mourning... would never be Da Qi!
Thinking of this, the emperor's heart became a little softer, and he said softly: "This...it's okay, but you can't force it, you know?"
Chu Mo secretly smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never force anyone!"
"That's good!" The emperor heaved a sigh of relief, and then began to chat with Chu Mo about some homework. It seemed that he still valued Chu Mo as much as before.
But in fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that the crack...had already appeared unknowingly. It's just that the two sides don't want to make the rift bigger, and they are all making the last effort to a greater or lesser extent.
When Chu Mo returned to Fan's mansion, he found that the old man was not at the mansion, but the one-armed uncle had returned.
Looking at Chu Mo, he said, "The general went out last night, and when he came back, his face was full of spring breeze... Is there any happy event?"
Chu Mo smiled, and thought to himself: Even the one-armed uncle noticed the abnormal behavior of the old man, and came to ask me in private. It seems that in Grandpa's heart, he may have already thought about his future young grandma. It's where the heart belongs.
At the same time, Chu Mo also blamed himself a little. Over the years, although he occasionally thought about his grandfather, since he was beaten by his grandfather once, he never really cared about it.
"If I could have brought it up earlier, maybe... now I even have a little uncle?"
Chu Mo didn't hide anything from Uncle One Arm, and told him about it.
The one-armed uncle looked excited at the moment, and suddenly said: "I know about this matter. I persuaded the general back then, and I said that our young master would not mind this matter. It's just that you know the general as a young master. First of all, I feel sorry for you, young master, and secondly... I feel that I am not worthy of other girls! I feel that there is too much age difference, and you know the conditions of our Fan Mansion at that time, the general is afraid of wronging her."
As the one-armed uncle spoke, he couldn't help sighing with emotion for a while, and then said: "Thanks to the young master, otherwise, the general will really be a bachelor for the rest of his life..."
Chu Mo shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "If it weren't for me, Grandpa would have already married a wife and had children..."
"You can't say that, the status of the young master in the general's heart is unmatched by anyone! Even if the general has his own child in the future, it will definitely be the same! There will be no change!" The one-armed uncle looked at it seriously. With Chu Mo.
"This, I believe." Chu Mo nodded.
Afterwards, the two stopped talking about this topic, and Chu Mo directly told Uncle One Arm some of his plans.
Uncle One Arm looked at Chu Mo in surprise, and then said in a deep voice: "We can actually see some of the emperor's actions during this period of time. He is very eager to take back the military power in your hands, just because he is afraid that the young master will continue to make things bigger. .But... Although we don't like this approach, we can only express our understanding."
Chu Mo nodded, took a long breath and said, "Yes, I'm afraid of being in that position."
"But the emperor is too hasty!" The one-armed uncle said lightly: "He shouldn't have called the general back at this time, and put the third prince in that position. This move... actually affects the morale of the army very much."
