The people outside the door were stunned, and Chen Danzhu, who was riding horseback from a distance, was also stunned. She hadn’t seen him for more than a month. She almost didn’t recognize her father because he was so old. He had lost a lot of weight, and even the armor could not cover his body.
Shape of rickets.
Chen Danzhu covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying when she heard someone shouting in front of the door.
"Taifu Chen, are you going to drive us all away and not leave us a way to survive?"
Taifu Chen is very scary, but now everyone has no way to survive, what is there to be afraid of? Everyone started crying again, and an old woman stepped forward to catch Chen Liehu.
Chen Liehu looked at them, without dodging or shouting to stop them, he just said: "I didn't mean to do this."
"You didn't? Your daughter said it clearly!" an old man shouted, "She said that no matter whether we are sick or dead, as long as we don't follow the king, we are betraying the king and being disloyal and unfilial."
These are what she said. Chen Danzhu rushed over and asked them to question her. Chen Liehu had already spoken. He looked at these people: "She is not talking about you, she is talking about me."
What do you mean? Everyone was stunned, including Chen Danzhu.
Chen Liehu looked in the direction of the palace ahead: "Because I won't follow the king, I will betray the king."
Huh? Chen Liehu won’t go with King Wu?! Everyone was stunned and in disbelief. Did they hear wrongly?
Although Chen Liehu always stayed behind closed doors, everyone only thought that he was venting his anger on the king. They never thought that he would not leave with the king. Everyone might not leave, but Chen Liehu would never do it.
Who is Chen Liehu? Gaozu granted him the title of Taifu to the King of Wu, and the old King of Wu promised that he would remain unchanged from generation to generation. The Chen family's loyalty to the King of Wu is a lesson to be learned.
What's going on now? Why did Chen Liehu say such things?
Chen Danzhu was also in disbelief. She had never thought that her father would not go with King Wu, and she was ready to follow him - A Tian had already started to pack her luggage.
What is father doing?
He said that what he said was to scold him? So, was he trying to save her? He took over the matter——
Chen Danzhu's tears rolled down.
The Chen family members standing inside the door were also shocked. They did not expect Chen Liehu to say this. Although Chen Liehu never saw the king's people, everyone had packed their luggage silently.
How could Chen Liehu not leave? Even if he was imprisoned by the king, he would leave with the king in shackles.
"Is it because of A'Zhu?" Mrs. Chen Er whispered to Mrs. Chen San, "After A'Zhu said such things, the eldest brother came over to talk about his own family's affairs? Not against outsiders?"
Mrs. Chen San nodded: "Does this mean you have taken back your words?"
Treat this matter as a quarrel between father and daughter. After all, Chen Liehu has always refused to see the king. Chen Danzhu was so angry with the king that he blamed his father. Although he was unfilial, he was loyal to the king and inherited the Chen family tradition.
Then Chen Liehu set off with the king again, and the matter was reduced to a minor matter and settled.
What a treacherous person! Someone in the crowd cursed in his mind and ran to tell Zhang Jianjun about this.
Apart from him, there were others who squeezed out from the crowd of onlookers to report to their respective masters.
By doing this, Chen Liehu could stage a happy scene with King Wu in which the monarch and his ministers settled their previous suspicions and had a happy relationship.
Hearing Chen Liehu's words, some people were angry and others were panicked. Mr. Chen Er and others were relieved. Chen Danzhu felt mixed with sadness and joy, but only Chen Danyan's tears fell. She looked at her father with heartache on her face.
No, father, he is——
After Chen Liehu said these words, he did not turn around and come back, but walked forward.
"Chen Liehu!" An old man in front of the door came to his senses and shouted, "Do you really dare to betray the king?"
Even if this sophistry passes, he will be turned into a blackmailer just for the sake of fame and reputation.
Chen Liehu looked back at him: "How dare you, I just want to say goodbye to the king now."
Is it true or false? Everyone was stunned again, and the expressions of the Chen family, including Chen Danzhu, changed. They understood that Chen Liehu really wanted to——
"What should we do?" Mrs. Chen Er asked in a panic.
If Chen Liehu did not follow the King of Wu, he would have really betrayed the King of Wu, and the reputation of the Chen family would be completely lost.
Chen Danyan passed her and chased Chen Liehu, followed closely by the housekeeper again, followed closely by the guards.
Mr. Chen Er straightened his clothes and said, "What can we do? My father gave this family to my eldest brother. We will do whatever the eldest brother says."
He stepped forward, and Mr. Chen San counted his fingers.
"I have long said that the strength of the Wu Kingdom has been exhausted." He sighed in a low voice, "Our Chen family and the Wu Kingdom are one, and our strength has only reached this point."
Mrs. Chen San pushed him angrily: "Follow me quickly, what are you waiting for?"
The people from the Chen family followed behind Chen Liehu. The people gathered in front of the door recovered from their daze and said, Mr. Chen, seriously! They followed him in disbelief and subconsciously, and more and more people followed.
Chen Danzhu stood there blankly, watching countless people pouring past him.
"Miss——" Ah Tian shouted tremblingly, "Master and the others——"
The King of Wu in her father's heart was dead, the Kingdom of Wu was dead, and her father's heart was dead. Chen Danzhu burst into tears and covered her face with her hands. She was the one who forced Taifu Chen to death.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good——"
Several officials ran around the palace regardless of their manners, disturbing King Wu who was looking at Wangxian Tower reluctantly.
"I spent my efforts day and night thinking about it, and read ancient and modern books. It took ten years to build it. It is the most beautiful building in Daxia." King Wu shed tears, "I have to abandon it like this——"
Wen Zhong said: "When we get to Zhou, the king will build another one. As long as the king is here, everything can be rebuilt."
That's true. King Wu became happy again: "I have made more progress than in previous years. When the time comes, I will build a better one. Let me think about what it should be called."
Before I could remember to think about it, I was interrupted by these shouts.
Is it bad? What’s wrong again? Are there any good things now? King Wu was angry.
"Your Majesty, the people outside are causing trouble and turmoil." "No, no, it's not a riot. It's the people who have gathered to hate the King."
Huh? Isn't that a bad thing? This is a good thing. The King of Wu was happy and asked the people to make trouble and surround the palace to intimidate the emperor.
"Your Majesty, no, it's Chen Liehu!" Zhang Jianjun hurriedly came over with an angry look on his face, "Chen Liehu is inciting the people to abandon your Majesty and not follow your Majesty!"
King Wu couldn't believe it. Although he hated Chen Liehu and disliked him, he never thought that Chen Liehu would not follow him.
Especially at this time, people have been sent to say good things to Chen Liehu two or three times. How dare he do this?
"Old thief!" King Wu was furious, "Can Gu still be reluctant to leave him and beg him? Let him go!"
Wen Zhong stopped him: "This old thief has betrayed his trust. Your Majesty cannot spare him lightly."
King Wu's eyes were fierce: "Kill him then!"
Wen Zhong shook his head again: "That's not necessary. If the king kills him, it will ruin his reputation and help the old thief."
This won't work, and that won't work either. King Wu was angry: "What should we do?"
Wen Zhong pointed to the outside of the palace: "Your Majesty, I want to beg him in front of others and question him."
