Looking for another good match, Hou Menjiaojiao turns around and marries a villain

Xie Chunchao smiled and continued, "Didn't my father and mother always hope that I would find a consort to marry?"

"Why are you unhappy now that I have agreed?"

The Queen sighed, "If I had known that you were going to marry into the Summer Kingdom, I would have said nothing to urge you to find a consort."

Rather than getting married, the queen and the emperor hoped that Xie Chunchao could stay with them in the Chu Kingdom, rather than marrying so far away, where they might never see each other again in their lifetime.

The emperor put down his chopsticks and his expression became rarely serious, "Chaochao, tell me honestly, you said you wanted to marry to Midsummer, is it because of Rong Shen?"

When the queen heard this, she also looked worried and asked, "Chaochao, you don't still have feelings for him, do you?"

Xie Chunchao couldn't answer these words correctly. She said no. How should she explain her choice to marry the Crown Prince of Xia later? She said yes. Judging from her parents' attitude, they would definitely dissuade her.

Seeing Xie Chunchao's expression, the emperor and the empress mistakenly thought that Xie Chunchao still had unresolved feelings for Rong Shen. They sighed and said, "Chaochao, you..."

"Hey, Rong Shen has lied to you once, have you thought about it?"

Xie Chunchao thought for a while and said, "I have thought about it. If I choose Sheng State, our Chu State will be annexed by Sheng State sooner or later, and we can only join forces with Xia to resist Sheng State."

"Then..." The emperor didn't understand, "Then why did you say those words in the main hall? Wouldn't it be better to just say that you want to marry the Crown Prince of Xia?"

What was Xie Chunchao going to say? Did she tell her father that she went to Shengguo to disrupt Shengguo?

Then she would definitely not be able to go to this prosperous country. Her father would never allow her to do such a dangerous thing.

Therefore, she just smiled and said, "I want to go to Shengguo to play."

"I have been in Shanling since I was born and have almost never been to other places."

"When I remarry and go to the Xia Kingdom, I will have to spend my whole life in a palace, and I can't just go wherever I want, so I want to visit a few more places before getting married."

Both the emperor and the queen believed Xie Chunchao's words.

Especially the queen, perhaps thinking of herself, her eyes were a little sad.

"It's time to walk more."

Xie Chunchao and Xie Ningyu left the palace together. As soon as she returned to the princess mansion, the concierge came to report.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom came here once."

"okay, I get it."

After the concierge left, Xie Chunchao began to ask Yu Ning to pack her luggage in advance.

Xie Chunchao temporarily set a departure date of three days. Before leaving, she went to her brother's place to observe the government affairs.

His father was an excellent general when he was a general, but being an emperor was a bit difficult for him.

He was unable to do many things, so as the prince, his brother had to worry more about government affairs.

The ministers also believed that the prince was the next emperor of the Chu Kingdom with a certain certainty. In addition, the prince was still young and had no time to learn many things. Therefore, the prince not only had to deal with a large number of affairs every day, but also learned the strategies of governing the country from several gentlemen. .

When she arrived, Bai Qiusheng was reporting to him that a group of soldiers were distraught and troubled again.

This group of soldiers were originally bandits. After being surrendered, they became restless every day, fearing that their heads would be killed at some point. Therefore, they often started riots and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to leave.

Xie Ningyu was a little upset after hearing this. He had to deal with a lot of things every day, and this was not the first time that these soldiers had caused trouble.

"Kill him." Xie Ningyu said, "Since you don't want to serve the Chu State with peace of mind, it's better to kill him directly to save worry."

Xie Ningyu seems to be easy-going on weekdays, but he has been stationed on the border as a general for many years, and he is by no means an easy-going person.

On the contrary, some aspects of him are considered cruel by ordinary people.

He had killed many prisoners from other countries. Some benevolent generals might let the prisoners live or even release them, while some would be taken back as slaves. However, if they fell into the hands of Xie Ningyu, there would be only one fate - death.

"Kill them all?" Bai Qiusheng was also a little surprised, "They are from Chu country."

Xie Ningyu: "What about the Chu people? They killed so many Chu people when they were bandits, but now they are not treated unfairly."

After Xie Chunchao understood, he said, "Brother, I think it's better not to kill him yet."

"The current situation in the three countries is unclear, and we don't know when conflicts will arise again. Now is the time to employ people. Rather than letting them die in vain, it is better to let them die on the battlefield."

"Can……"

Xie Ningyu said, "They make trouble frequently. Seeing them like this, they will be deserters even if they go to the battlefield in the future."

Xie Chunchao only said, "I have a plan to calm them down. Brother, are you willing to listen?"

"That's what you say."

Xie Chunchao said, "The reason why they cause trouble many times is just because they are worried about the heads on their necks."

"You might as well wear plain clothes and ride lightly, patrolling the military camps of surrendered generals one by one without showing any signs of alertness. In this way, you will surely win their hearts."

Another person among them asked, "Is this feasible? They were once bandits. If they are unprepared, what if they hurt His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"I think it's better to kill him."

Xie Chunchao lowered his eyes and said, "If brother is worried, I can go on his behalf."

Xie Ningyu: "What do you mean by that? How can a brother dare not let his sister go?"

After he finished speaking, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I will go to the military camp for patrol immediately."

After Xie Ningyu left, everyone dispersed. Bai Qiusheng happened to walk up to Xie Chunchao and said,

"The princess is really smart."

Xie Chunchao smiled and said, "Prime Minister Bai is so complimentary."

Bai Qiusheng shook his head, then stared at her face and said, "If Your Highness the Princess were a man, she would be more suitable for that position than your father and brother."

Be ruthless when you should be ruthless, be gentle when you should be gentle.

The appearance of a wise king.

It's a pity, but it's a pity that she is a woman.

Xie Chunchao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't care whether I sit in that position or not. I just hope that the Chu Kingdom can bring peace to the world."

"If you have ministers from Chu State, it will definitely be like this."

Xie Chunchao: "Prime Minister Bai, don't just praise me. The prosperity of Chu State still needs Prime Minister Bai's efforts."

"nature."

After Xie Chunchao finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but she thought about it and came back and said,

"Prime Minister Bai, the national strength of our Chu State is far inferior to the two countries of Shengxia, but our economy is several times better than that of the two countries of Shengxia."

It's a pity that if a person has a lot of money but has no ability to protect it, he will only end up losing both his money and his life.

Therefore, Chu State was the first to perish in the previous life.

"Yes." Bai Qiusheng said.

Xie Chunchao first praised, "This is all thanks to your management, Prime Minister Bai."

Bai Qiusheng shook his head quickly and said, "I dare not take credit. The Chu State has been rich in products since ancient times. This is determined by its geographical location. Without these innate conditions, I am a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice."

Xie Chunchao: "Prime Minister Bai, there is no need to be humble, but I think, since our economy is good, why not take advantage of it?"
