Shu Country.
In the Political Affairs Hall.
In front of the screen hung a clear map of the Nine Regions.
The Emperor of Shu stood with his hands behind his back, his face gradually turning gloomy.
"To cede the An Province, Wu Mingyue has lost her dignity and swallowed her shame. This cowardly empress is a laughingstock!”
The Emperor of Shu's tone was cold, as if he was suppressing his anger.
The prime minister and other important officials were silent.
An unspeakable truth was placed in front of him.
In such a short period of time, the Shu Kingdom had actually become the weakest country in the Nine Regions?
Although the Chu Country had swallowed the An Prefecture and its territory was not comparable to the Shu Country, its influence was no longer on the same level.
The capital of Shu only had two emissaries, Chu and Zhou.
As for Chu?
Other than Zhou Country, all the other major powers of the Nine Regions had set up an embassy in Jin Ling City!
The Chu Country was no longer the same as before.
How could the princes accept this?
They felt really unbalanced. This difference even made them feel a trace of shame!
From then on, Shu Country would definitely replace Chu Country and become the topic of conversation for the people of Nine Provinces.
"Missing Su Guan is the regret of my life!”
The Emperor of Shu's face was cold, and the emotions of regret surged in his chest.
His intestines were green with regret!
This child truly demonstrated what it meant to be able to fight against thousands of troops and horses by himself. He was like a treasure trove that contained unimaginable value!
"Your Majesty, we can also rope them in.”The Imperial Censor said in a low voice.
"With what?" The Emperor of Shu looked at him disdainfully.
The Imperial Censor was stunned and only then did he react. Su Guan was the King of Wei of Chu Country and was extremely noble!
His status was second only to the emperor.
How could someone with such a high status come to Shu Kingdom?
Did he really dare to give it to Wang Jue? That would violate the interests of all the nobles in Shu.
He had not made any contributions in Shu, so how could he be above all the civil and military officials in the court? That way, all the dignitaries and meritorious officials would clamor for a promotion.
Only the Empress of Chu had the ability to suppress the aristocratic families in Jinling City. Even the Xiao family was loyal to her.
The Imperial Censor sighed.
Some opportunities would never come again if they were missed.
While Su Guan was in the dark abyss, the Shu Kingdom did not even care about this abandoned child.
"The Chu Country has to be on guard!"
Suddenly, the Emperor of Shu's expression was serious, and he was on guard.
It was clearly the Chu Country that played the role of the invader, but even the powerful Zhou Country could only endure humiliation and forge ahead.
What if one day, Chu broke the covenant and attacked Shu?
The half-dead Chu Country was a good ally. Now that the other party was a bloodthirsty wolf, they had to be wary!
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that it's not a good idea to rashly alienate the Chu Country.”The Prime Minister's attitude was respectful and his tone tactful.
After all, the two countries had always been brothers in distress. They supported each other to resist the Great Zhou and foreign enemies further away.
This time, the Chu Country was the invader and did not occupy justice. Therefore, the Shu Country stood by and watched. If it was the Great Zhou invading, the Shu Country would definitely send troops to help.
For a long time, interests had been tied together, and he could not easily drift away.
"The Chu Country took off the label of being the weakest and wants to put it on our heads.”
The Emperor of Shu's eyes were gloomy. On one hand, he hated that he did not get a share of the pie. On the other hand, he was ashamed and angry.
"Your Majesty, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace.”
"I have a plan."
The Prime Minister suddenly stood up and said solemnly.
"Speak." The Emperor of Shu held his breath and focused.
The prime minister pondered over his words and said in a cadence,
"Su Guan can create a very powerful weapon. This epoch-making weapon can change the war situation.”
"Our Shu is a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we have such a great killing weapon, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.”
"Continue." The Emperor of Shu narrowed his eyes, concealing the covetous look in the depths of his eyes.
The Prime Minister said loudly,"
"With the friendship between the two countries, the Chu Country should gift the secret technique of creating a great killing weapon and even specially send people to practice and teach it.”
"What if the Chu Country is unwilling?" The Emperor of Shu paced back and forth after he finished speaking, as if he was thinking.
"Then change the established national policy and interact more with the Great Zhou in the future.”
A minister said with a straight face.
The Emperor of Shu frowned and nodded subconsciously.
The allies supported each other, but they also weakened each other.
After Chu controlled the Nanlin Ferry, the prosperous business of Jin Ling City would spread to the North and South Grand Canal, affecting the northern powers.
Seeing that his former followers were getting stronger and stronger, and might even become a powerful country, he had to do his best to curb them!
To put it bluntly, it was causing trouble.
He would turn the land of Chu upside down and eliminate its threat.
The simplest method was to get close to the Great Zhou. The two countries would surround them and envelop the sky above Chu with two thick layers of haze.
"Pass on my decree, send an envoy…"
After pausing for a moment, the Emperor of Shu looked directly at the second-grade official.
"Minister Li, please go."
"Understood!" The Imperial Censor Zhongcheng received the edict.
The Emperor of Shu looked around and suddenly had an inspiration. He said with a dignified expression,"
"Zhen intends to set up a yamen to specifically search for the officials abandoned by the imperial court of each country.”
The ministers were stunned for a moment, but they immediately agreed.
What if the Shu Kingdom also picked it up?
They didn't expect to have Su Guan's outstanding talent, but if they had even one-tenth of it, Shu Country would make a fortune!
