Wen Zhong and his ministers rushed in from outside the palace.
"There are rumors that the king wants to negotiate peace with the court and invite court officials to investigate the assassin's case to prove his innocence? Big——"
They rushed in, and before they finished speaking, they saw that there were already people in the hall, standing tall and graceful——
"Chen——!" Wen Zhong recognized it at a glance and was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Did Mr. Chen actually arrive one step ahead of them? Shouldn't this old guy go to the military camp first? As I said in the past, if you have something to do, you should come to the king first to show your merit——
But everyone's eyes swept across the palace, only King Wu and the girl.
Zhang Jianjun's face turned even more ugly. This charming person was always around the king!
Wenzhong, Zhang Jianjun and others had seen Chen Danzhu and knew her identity. There were also others who didn't know who she was. They were all stunned for a moment, and the hall became quiet.
King Wu looked at the ministers and said that this time he did not feel the headache caused by the noise, and said happily: "It's not a rumor, it was indeed said by Gu."
Everyone in the palace was shocked again. When did the king say this? Although some of them had already planned to persuade the king of Wu to do this, they kept making insinuations and ignored the power of the imperial court. When retreat was inevitable, the king would naturally make a decision.
——As a minister of King Wu, how can you persuade the king to bow to the court? This is a shame for a minister!
Who is so shameless?!
King Wu pointed at Chen Danzhu: "The messenger was introduced to Gu by Miss Chen Er. The messenger conveyed His Majesty's thoughts. Gu made this decision after careful consideration. Gu has a clear conscience and is not afraid of Your Majesty coming to ask."
Second Miss Chen? All the ministers' eyes were focused on Chen Danzhu.
Zhang Jianjun was swaying. The thing he was about to plan was overtaken by someone, and it was someone from the Chen family!
Mr. Chen is such an old man!
He pointed at Chen Danzhu and shouted sadly: "Shameless!"
.....
.....
There was a sound of grief in the hall.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has violated the imperial edict of Emperor Gaozu and deceived the land of Wu."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to what the traitor says - Miss Chen Er, it turns out that you defected to the imperial court. That's why you killed Li Liang and caused harm to our Northern Army's defense line!"
That's all. Li Liang became a loyal minister and he couldn't bear it. Chen Danzhu immediately sneered: "Whether Li Liang betrayed the King of Wu, there is evidence everywhere in the army ahead. The reason why I met the emperor's envoy was because I killed
Li Liang was discovered and captured by the imperial spies in the army, and the imperial envoys have already settled in our army on the north bank!"
Wen Zhong was angry: "So you came to bewitch the king!"
Otherwise? If I die, you will live? Chen Danzhu sneered, when it comes to bewitching the King, she can't compare to every minister here.
In addition to the officials in the Wu Dynasty who did not want to have a war with the court and kept running away from them just to close their eyes and everything would be peaceful, there were also those who were not satisfied with just being princes and ministers.
The highest possible position for princes, kings and ministers is to be the Taifu, and the Taifu has been occupied by others. In addition, the land of Wu has been rich and prosperous for hundreds of years, and the imperial court has always been weak, so it became ambitious and wanted to encourage the King of Wu to proclaim himself emperor. In this way, they
You can be crowned king and prime minister.
Regardless of whether they want to enjoy peace or want King Wu to dominate, they should do their best to make the country rich and powerful, but these people do nothing but praise King Wu and make King Wu arrogant.
It is necessary to get rid of ministers who are capable and willing to do things, lest it affect their future.
Of course, Chen Danzhu guessed that there must be the emperor's spies infiltrating, bribing, instigating and provoking, but they themselves had to have this idea first.
Now she is just doing what they do, why should she be accused of bewitching the king?
"Your Majesty is here for peace talks with the King this time." Chen Danzhu looked at them and said coldly, "If you have any dissatisfaction, there is no need to cry to the King now and accuse the Emperor. When Your Majesty comes, you can argue with the Emperor."
The shouts in the palace suddenly stopped, Chen Danzhu's eyes swept across, and many people's originally burning eyes immediately averted - accusing the emperor in front of the emperor?!
It’s scary, don’t you dare?
"Your Majesty made a mistake. You all should stand up for the king for the sake of the world and let your majesty recognize your mistakes." Chen Danzhu said, looking at King Wu again, his voice became aggrieved, "How can you just reprimand and persecute the king?
?”
Yes, that's right. It was the emperor who was at fault. He should be rebuked. Everyone should not come and make noises against him. King Wu sat up straight and laughed loudly: "Miss Danzhu's words make sense. Go and greet your majesty at once."
Looking at the ministers, he gave a serious warning, "Because of Zhou Qing's death, the imperial court falsely accused Gu of being treasonous and immoral, and you all said that the order of gratitude was treasonous and immoral. Now Gu invites His Majesty to come in. You can argue with His Majesty and let His Majesty understand what is right and what is wrong.
It also shows my imposing manner in Wu."
The emperor has been welcomed in, so what momentum is there and what is right and wrong? Everyone is sad and angry. This woman from the Chen family has seduced the king!
She couldn't let her succeed like this. Zhang Jianjun knew what the King of Wu was afraid of. He stopped saying what he didn't like to hear and immediately knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court are watching with eager eyes. Once you step into our land of Wu, the land of Wu will be destroyed."
It is in danger, the king is in danger."
This is indeed true. King Wu hesitated. Chen Danzhu said that the imperial army had more than 500,000 troops. The envoy also arrogantly announced that the imperial army was now strong. If the emperor came, he would definitely not come alone——
"If His Majesty is really here to negotiate peace with the King, it is not impossible." Wen Zhong, who had been silent, said slowly at this time, his eyes fell on Chen Danzhu, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Then you cannot bring troops and horses with you.
Entering the land of Wu, this is the sincerity of the court, otherwise, the king will never be credulous!"
Without troops and horses, unless the emperor is crazy, this is impossible. Zhang Jianjun was overjoyed and wanted to applaud. Wenshe's people were so powerful.
King Wu was accustomed to being arrogant and did not think this was impossible. He just thought that of course it would be better and safer. He immediately said to Chen Danzhu: "Yes, it must be like this. Go and tell the messenger.
Let him tell His Majesty, otherwise Gu will not believe it."
Chen Danzhu knew that King Wu had no ideas or brains and was easily incited, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. How difficult it must have been for his father to live in court all these years.
King Wu didn't even think about such a request. If she hadn't been convinced that King Wu really didn't want to go to war with the court, she would have thought that King Wu was deliberately playing tricks on her.
What should we do now? She blames her for not letting King Wu recognize the reality. Is the reality now when you, King Wu, negotiate terms with the court? Why do you just listen to whatever these ministers say?
Chen Danzhu looked at King Wu and wanted to sigh. If she hadn't stopped him, your head would have been cut off by now.
But she also recognized the current reality very clearly, and King Wu could cut off their family's heads immediately.
Such unreasonable conditions——
"Okay." She said, "I will tell the envoy that if the emperor wants to lead troops and horses into our land of Wu, he must first step over the servants."
She said nothing more and bowed to the King of Wu.
"Please, Your Majesty, give me the royal decree."
King Wu said the same thing to her. He didn't know whether it was true, whether it was reasonable or not, and whether it was realistic or not. After hearing her promise, he happily asked someone to bring out the Wang Ling that had been prepared long ago.
Chen Danzhu took it and turned around without hesitation and left.
Zhang Jianjun and others in the palace had not yet reacted. They did not expect her to dare to say it. They could no longer find a reason and could only watch her leave with Wang Ling and others.
Shameless! If you dare to agree to this, you must have formed a conspiracy with the imperial court.
All the ministers in the palace fell to the ground in grief——
Chen Liehu, I didn’t expect that you, a self-proclaimed loyal guy, would be the first to betray the king!
