The Emperor's tone was indifferent. He wasn't unhappy, but he definitely wasn't happy either.
The nameless old eunuch's heart skipped a beat. Combining the decisions and actions that the Emperor had made recently, he understood that the Emperor now felt that the danger that Chu Mo carried was greater than his contribution.
From the Emperor's point of view, it seemed to be the case!
If Chu Mo wasn't here, then Da Xia would be safer and better!
The elemental stone mine in Tian Duan Mountain was completely gone. Although the Emperor didn't say it, he was unhappy about it.
Humans were like this. They would always consider their own interests first.
However, the Emperor didn't do anything wrong. He just gave people the impression that he was heartless.
A moment ago, he was talking about 'my steed' and 'Da Xia's miracle child'. The next moment, he felt that this person was too dangerous and would implicate Da Xia …
"Your Majesty, if you really think that Young Master Chu … is not suitable to stay in Da Xia, then after you reward him … why don't you … just send him to his fief?" The nameless old eunuch said slowly after some consideration.
"Fief? Where should I give him? "The Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the nameless old eunuch.
The nameless old eunuch said indifferently, "Didn't Your Majesty say that all the territories he conquered in Da Qi will be given to him?"
"I … did say that. However, he doesn't have any soldiers or generals. How can he fight them alone?" The Emperor said indifferently, "Anyway … I won't hand over any military power to him."
The nameless old eunuch sighed inwardly and said, "If that's the case, Your Majesty can actually tell him this …"
…
"Chu Mo, you've seen the current situation. Although Da Qi has suffered heavy losses, they still have the strength to fight. Therefore, I can't transfer any men for you. After the conferring ceremony tomorrow, you'll be the real King Chu. It's not appropriate for you to stay in Da Xia. However, you don't have any soldiers or generals. As for your fief … I'm worried about you. "
Looking at Chu Mo in front of him, the Emperor said slowly with a helpless smile on his face.
"Your Majesty once said that since I have been conferred the title of King Chu, I should have the power to recruit soldiers and buy horses, right?" Chu Mo smiled as he looked at the Emperor.
Last night, he had just returned to Yan Huang City. He did not even have the time to see the tall, stupid side that had come to seek refuge. This morning, he was summoned to the royal palace to meet the emperor.
"That's what you say, but you brat … can't try to steal away this Emperor's corner! The army of Da Xia … can't be given to you. "The Emperor looked at Chu Mo and said half-jokingly.
Chu Mo shook his head. "Why would I do such a thing? No matter what, Da Xia … is my motherland. Rest assured, Your Majesty, I would never do such a thing. However … if someone takes the initiative to follow me … to build a new home, His Majesty won't stop them, right? "
The Emperor raised an eyebrow and looked warily at Chu Mo. "Who are you referring to?"
"The citizens of Da Xia." Chu Mo said with a bitter face. "Your Majesty can't possibly let me be a King Chu without any followers! At that time, Da Qi can just send some soldiers … and take back all my territory. That way, for our Da Xia … there won't be any benefits, right? "
The Emperor's heart shook slightly and he was a little annoyed. This little thing actually used this to threaten him …
However, the Emperor also understood that his recent actions were indeed a little too much for Chu Mo.
All the civil and military officials in the court saw it. Although they did not say anything, in their hearts, they inevitably felt that the Emperor was a little heartless.
Chu Mo's contribution to Da Xia was obvious to everyone.
If it wasn't for the information that Chu Mo accidentally obtained in the Broken Heaven Mountain Range battle that determined the fate of the two countries, Da Qi would definitely not be the one in mourning!
Thinking of this, the Emperor's heart softened a little. He said softly, "This … is not a problem, but you can't force me. Do you understand?"
Chu Mo laughed in his heart and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never force anyone!"
"That's good!" The Emperor let out a long sigh and began to chat with Chu Mo about some daily life. It seemed that he still valued Chu Mo as much as before.
However, both of them were very clear that cracks … had already unknowingly appeared. It was just that right now, both sides did not want this crack to become bigger. They were more or less making their last efforts.
When Chu Mo returned to the Fan Mansion, he found that the Old Master was not there. However, the one-armed Uncle had returned.
He looked at Chu Mo and said, "The General went out last night. When he came back, his face was beaming with happiness … Did something good happen?"
Chu Mo smiled and thought in his heart, "Even the one-armed Uncle noticed the Old Master's unusual behavior and secretly came to ask me. It seems that in Grandfather's heart, his future grandmother already belongs to someone else."
At the same time, Chu Mo felt a little guilty. All these years, although he occasionally thought about Grandfather's matters, ever since he was beaten by Grandfather, he did not really care about it.
"If I had mentioned it earlier, perhaps … I would even have a little uncle by now?"
Chu Mo did not hide anything from the one-armed Uncle and told him about this matter.
The one-armed Uncle's face was immediately filled with excitement. He suddenly said, "I know about this matter. Back then, I even tried to persuade the General. I said that our Young Master would not mind this matter. However, Young Master, you also know the General's character. Firstly, he felt that he had let you down. Secondly … he felt that he was not worthy of the young lady! He felt that the age difference was too great. In addition, you also know the conditions of our Fan Mansion at that time. The General was afraid that the young lady would be wronged. "
As the one-armed Uncle spoke, he could not help but sigh emotionally for a while. Then, he said, "It is all thanks to Young Master. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the General would really be a bachelor for the rest of his life …"
Chu Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly. "If it wasn't for me, I'm afraid that Grandfather would have already married and had children …"
"You can't say that. In the General's heart, Young Master's position is incomparable to anyone else's! Even if the General has children in the future, it will definitely be the same! There will be no change! "The one-armed Uncle looked at Chu Mo with a serious face.
"This, I believe." Chu Mo nodded.
Then, the two of them no longer talked about this topic. Chu Mo directly told some of his plans to the one-armed Uncle.
The one-armed Uncle looked at Chu Mo with some surprise. Then, he said in a deep voice, "We can actually see some of the Emperor's actions during this time. He is very anxious to take back the military power in your hands. He is afraid that Young Master will continue to grow. However … although we do not like this way of doing things, we can only express our understanding. "
Chu Mo nodded and let out a long breath. He said, "That's right. Being in that position, everyone is afraid."
"But the Emperor is too hasty!" The one-armed Uncle said lightly. "He should not have transferred the General back at this time and placed the Third Prince in that position. This action … actually affects the military's morale. "
