In the throne room.
The atmosphere was solemn and the air seemed to have frozen.
The ministers looked at the depressed and uncertain empress, their hearts filled with fear. Everyone kept their mouths shut for fear of being implicated.
Southern Border had the ambitious Su E'Liao.
In the north, there was the State of Zhao.
In the hinterland of Huaizhou, there were rising rebels and restless princes.
How long ago had the prosperous Great Zhou fallen to the point of tottering?
It seemed that everything had changed since His Majesty abandoned Su E'Liao.
It changed too quickly.
It was so fast that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not expect it.
If she could still see that peerless white in the imperial court…
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
The scene of being condemned by thousands of people was still vivid in his mind. After enduring unimaginable grievances, how could Su E'Liao let it go?
Perhaps this war was just the beginning.
The few officials from the Humble Class in the Imperial Court were filled with regret. If they had spoken out for justice and let Young Master Su know that there were still people supporting him, perhaps his heart would not be so cold and heartless.
"Your Majesty, let's negotiate."
In the silence, Shen Dezhen slowly stepped forward.
He knew that he would have to bear the weight of the fishing wheel if he said this, but the country had already reached the edge of the cliff, and someone had to stand up.
The ministers sighed. They didn't want to be the subjects of a fallen nation and become prisoners.
"All of you are treacherous officials!"
On the throne, the Empress's eyes were filled with venom as she stared at the army of generals."
"Who will help me eliminate the enemy?”
There was silence. Many of the generals who had made great contributions lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
They weren't afraid, but they couldn't turn the situation around.
Unless His Majesty dared to say that it was a battle of national fate, bet on the country, and do everything he could to drive the enemy away.
Only when everyone was united would there be at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of victory.
However, if they lost, it would be the destruction of the country!
If His Majesty did not have the courage to stake everything on this, then wouldn't continuing to send troops only increase casualties? The Great Zhou's national strength was wasted.
" Are you mute?!"
Wu Mingyue shouted coldly. Her fingernails dug deep into her flesh, and her heart ached.
She had always thought that she was far superior to Jiang Yanwan. She was like a bright moon looking down at a tiny firefly.
However, in the face of such a situation, the thought that popped into her mind was to agree to cede territory and pay compensation to avoid the danger of the imperial power.
This difference made her strangely angry, and what followed was hatred!
I treat you so well, but you don't know how to be grateful. You're worse than a beast!
"Go invite mother!" Wu Mingyue tried her best to control her emotions, but even she could hear the trembling in her voice.
The ministers instantly fell silent. What a loving mother and filial daughter.
His Majesty wanted to agree and stabilize the royal family's rule, but he was also afraid of the Taotian fishing wheel.
Thus, he let the Empress Dowager make the decision and actually roasted the Empress Dowager over the fire.
If she agreed to sign the contract, the Empress Dowager's reputation would be tarnished.
Why did His Majesty not even have the courage to take responsibility?
Back then, in order to create a perfect image of a wise ruler, all the sins he had committed were all pushed to Su Eoliao. In the end, he killed the donkey when he was done.
Now, he wanted to sacrifice the Empress Dowager to minimize the impact of the terms of national humiliation on the throne.
Fifteen minutes later.
"The Empress Dowager wishes to negotiate peace."
The servant of Cining Palace knelt outside the hall in fear.
Negotiating peace meant bullying and blackmailing, and it meant swallowing the humiliation.
The ministers had complicated emotions and their faces were filled with grief.
The glorious Great Zhou had actually fallen to this state!
"When has the Great Zhou Empire ever been so down and out? I will remember this humiliation day and night. I will work hard to make the country prosperous and avenge this humiliation!”
"I hereby swear that I will devour the Chu Country in this life!”
The empress's eyes were red, and her voice was unusually hoarse from her anger.
The ministers 'anger rushed to the top of their heads. This great humiliation would definitely be repaid a hundredfold in an even crueler way in the future!
The Chu Country would one day become the land of the Zhou Dynasty!!
……
The pain and humiliation were like ants gnawing at Wu Mingyue's bone marrow. She could no longer control her emotions and became hysterical when she returned to the bedroom.
"I hate him so much. I must kill Su E'Liao with my own hands and tear him into pieces!”
Tsk!
She took out a golden dagger from the dressing table.
Then, the dagger cut his palm, and his finger was dipped in blood. He gritted his teeth and wrote three bloody words on the dressing table.
Jiang Yanwan!
She wanted to use this method to constantly remind herself of revenge!
Once the internal affairs were cleaned up and the country was strong, they would carry out bloody revenge!
He wanted to swallow Chu, make Jiang Yanwan bow and scrape, and make the people of Chu become slaves of the Great Zhou Empire!
"Yu Mao!" She roared.
Eunuch Yu, who was outside the hall, walked over quickly and bowed respectfully.
"You are familiar with the martial world of the Nine Provinces. Give me a bounty!”
"Those who cut off Su Guan's head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.”
Wu Mingyue's face was twisted. She could not accept this humiliation. She could not accept that the trash she had thrown away was now being humiliated from above.
She couldn't wait for a moment. She couldn't wait to see that head and throw it back into the world of ice and snow, where it would forever be a beggar!
