Rumble!
Urgent military situation, civil and military officials gather.
The Imperial City was filled with the sound of hurried footsteps. The officials 'faces were pale, and they were all terrified.
The Chu Country was only bordered by the Zhou Country and the Shu Country. Which country had 3,000 heavy cavalry?
It must be Zhou Country!
Su Guan, this damned jinx!
If he had known earlier that blood would be spilled in the court, he would have stopped the Emperor's decision to destroy the country.
"Calm down."
"The sky hasn't fallen yet. Don't panic.”
As the Prime Minister of the Chu State, Zhang Taiyue was old and decrepit, but he was still calm and composed, exuding a dignified aura.
Old Zai's words reassured the officials, and they no longer panicked.
The ministers tidied up their appearance and walked into the grand palace in an orderly manner.
The peerless empress sat on the throne. Her flawless cheeks were as cold and indifferent as ever.
Jiang Yanwan looked around the palace and said calmly,"
"3,000 heavy cavalry want to submit to Great Chu. What do you think?”
What was that?
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The ministers were instantly shocked, followed by a thick sense of disbelief.
Everyone caught the key word.
Submit!
The three thousand heavy cavalry were not invading the city, but seeking refuge?
Almost instantly, the important ministers led by Zhang Taiyue vetoed solemnly,"
"Your Majesty, there's a trap!"
It was definitely bait.
A gift for no reason was definitely a conspiracy brewing behind the scenes!
Even though the 3,000 heavy cavalry would not destroy Great Chu, if they led a wolf into the house, it would definitely be devastated and cause disaster to the people.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Zhang Taiyue held an ivory board in his hand and earnestly remonstrated.
Empress Jiang nodded expressionlessly and turned to Li Fuchen, the Minister of War."
"The Bureau of Military Personnel, prepare to send troops. If they don't retreat, we'll start the war immediately.”
"Understood!" Li Fuchen replied respectfully and then left the hall.
The ministers said in unison,"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Other than making a big mistake on Su Guan, His Majesty had no flaws at all. He was completely like a wise ruler.
Since they did not want to accept it, then they should prepare for war and eliminate the threat of an army approaching the city as soon as possible.
Although Chu was small, it was never afraid of war!
At this moment.
"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!”
Outside the hall, Li Fuchen had returned. His hair was disheveled and he had lost his appearance, but his expression was extremely excited.
Beside him was a flag officer whose helmet was covered in dust and whose lips were cracked from exhaustion.
The ministers frowned, feeling that Minister Li was treating the solemn court as a child's play!
Just a moment ago, there was a military report, and now there was another one, and he still dared to call it a great victory?
Which country would go to war so quickly?
"The heavy cavalry retreated?" The Minister of Revenue, Wang Zhi, stared intently at Li Fuchen.
"Your Majesty…"
Li Fuchen could not suppress his excitement. He handed the silk book to the eunuch beside him and said with a smile,
"Those 3,000 heavy cavalrymen are Su Guan's private soldiers. They are loyal to the Chu Country!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the royal court fell into a deathly silence!
The air seemed to have frozen, and all sound disappeared.
Su Guan's private army?
How could this be possible!
Jiang Yanwan remained calm and her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times flirtatiously.
He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
She carefully read the military report and raised her delicate chin in a beautiful arc.
"Summon Su Guan for an audience."
The ministers 'expressions were completely stiff, like motionless statues.
They were so shocked that they kept quiet out of fear!
He was so shocked that his scalp went numb!
Was it really that jinx?
3,000 heavy cavalry?
Was this his pledge of allegiance?
The ministers 'faces were flushed. Before they went to sleep, they were still cursing Young Master Su. Almost everyone had written impeachment memorials.
But now…
The Chu Country advocated the demeanor of a gentleman. They were narrow-minded, so how could they have the demeanor of a gentleman?
A quarter of an hour later, rhythmic footsteps could be heard in the quiet court.
A man dressed in luxurious white slowly walked over. He bowed calmly and said,
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
For a moment, countless gazes turned to this handsome man.
Jiang Yanwan stared at him, her phoenix eyes filled with anticipation. She said slowly,
"Are those three thousand heavy cavalry really going to enter Chu?”
Su Guan's expression was as calm as an ancient well. He said lightly,
"Since we are loyal to His Majesty, of course we have to do our best.”
His tone was casual, as if he was describing a trivial matter.
That kind of unparalleled bearing made the officials feel ashamed.
The court was silent, so quiet that only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard.
How could this abandoned child raise three thousand heavy cavalry? And he could even hide from the Great Zhou Dynasty's vision without anyone noticing?
Previously, he was blinded by anger. Now that he had calmed down, he realized that Young Master Su was hiding his strength.
No wonder he was chosen by the wise and mighty Emperor. He was not completely useless.
However, the ministers were unwilling to acknowledge him because of this.
After all, compared to a strategic buffer zone like Canglan City, the value of 3,000 heavy cavalry was not as good.
The so-called business among the people had yet to return the capital!!
"I thank Minister Su on behalf of the people of Chu.”
On the throne, Jiang Yanwan nodded slightly, the corners of her lips curling up slightly.
"Goodbye." Su Guan's expression was casual and natural, and he left the imperial court in a carefree manner.
The ministers stared blankly at the slender back.
After the excitement died down, he began to ponder.
Raising heavy cavalry was perhaps just one of his trump cards. How many trump cards did he have?
This person was uncontrollable!
Once they had evil thoughts, it would probably endanger His Majesty's imperial power. They had to guard against it!
"Pass down my decree. Immediately take over 3,000 heavy cavalry and continue to listen to Su Guan.”
A cold and dignified voice came from the throne.
The ministers were shocked and swallowed the words they wanted to say.
His Majesty had unreserved trust in Su Guan!!
The majestic court hall was filled with officials, and there was a row of minor officials standing outside the hall.
One of the eighth-grade officials in green robes lowered his head. His back was cold, and his palms were covered in sweat.
On the surface, he was loyal to the Chu Country, but in fact, his family had long joined the Great Zhou Prime Minister Pei.
The news of the three thousand heavy cavalry gave him a strong sense of foreboding.
After the court session ended, he immediately sent a messenger pigeon to report this matter to the Great Zhou Empress!
