Kyoto, Forbidden City.

Since the news of Jieting's loss, the government and the country were in an uproar. Today, the morning court, Zhou Chen was already excited, and almost everyone prepared a draft to attack Chu Tianxiao. Among them, there were enemies of the Chu family, but some were originally neutral. Seeing that the situation of the war had developed, they were extremely disappointed with Chu Tianxiao, and thus joined the hostile camp...

They were either gloating, indignant, or sighing...

Before Emperor Zhou arrived, they had already whispered and talked.

"I have said a long time ago that it would be unwise to leave the prodigal son in Zhaodi! What's going on now? Something happened!"

"Hey, who would have thought that Shaodi Zhao had the courage to actually..."

"Is this difficult to guess? Even Chu Tianxiao, a prodigal son, has the courage, why did Zhao Shaodi not? To put it bluntly, it was Chu Tianxiao's unconsidered thinking and greedy for merit and advancement, which led to our army in such an embarrassing situation!"

"Yes! The situation worsened when Jieting was lost this time, and Chu Tianxiao was responsible!"

The crowd was excited, and occasionally some of the people who defended Chu Tianxiao were blocked by the rest of the people, and they couldn't continue to say it... After all, the bad situation is real now, and Chu Tianxiao used the "as if I came to the order" to transfer the defenders from all sides, which is also real...

Just as the ministers were quarreling, with a shout and accompanied by the etiquette, Emperor Zhou came to the scene.

He saw his face calm, looked at the people below, his tone was as plain as before, and said, "All the ministers have reported their memorials, but no one has returned to the court."

Seeing this, many people's expressions changed slightly - they had already submitted a memorial to criticize yesterday, but they didn't expect that Emperor Zhou would not even mention it!

However, even so, some people still don’t want to miss this “god-given opportunity” and gritted their teeth and left: “Your Majesty, I have a copy of the book!”

"The Ziyi Marquis's Prince Chu Tianxiao is greedy for merit and aggressiveness, and will have more than one attack, but will have less codes. If you lose the city and trap the ground, you will be in trouble with the three armies. Please let Your Majesty observe clearly!"

After these words, many people immediately jumped out and discussed together.

"Mr. Ling said very much. When the Jieting was thrown away, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Great Zhou were like stings, and they were in a dilemma. The situation was extremely bad! If this matter was not investigated in depth, it would not be enough to calm the public's anger and boost the court's principles!"

"Yes, Chu Tianxiao is bold and arbitrary, and he is arbitrarily starting a war, which makes us, Dazhou and Da Zhao, never end, and violate the purpose of destroying demons. This is to greed for small profits and lose the overall situation! Even if you have small achievements, you will not defeat your fault, and you must be punished!"

Seeing that one minister after another jumped out to discuss the matter, Emperor Zhou stared slightly, but said in an orderly manner: "What is Chu Tianxiao's fault and what punishment should be received? When he returns to Beijing, he will make a conclusion. The most urgent task should be to discuss how to deal with the current situation..."

Hearing the sound, Wu Xiang stepped out and said, "I think that the situation is not good for our Great Zhou, but the Zhao Dynasty may not really dare to take action. Their move is more of a fight and waiting for the merchants to sell... At least, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our Great Zhou will never be destroyed."

"The most urgent task should be to negotiate with the Zhao Dynasty as soon as possible to avoid changes over time..."

After hearing this, Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "What Wu Qing said is good..."

After a pause, he pondered: "The Qin Dynasty should have moved, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, the Qin envoy is on the way."

Wu Xiang quickly told the story... As Emperor Zhou expected, the second empire of Shenzhou, Daqin, was indeed not idle - they had entered the market a few days ago and made a clear statement that they would be willing to be the ones who mediate in the center. They also stated that they hope that the Zhou and Zhao sides would try their best to restrain themselves, put the overall situation of destroying demons first, and never have a large-scale death battle... At the same time, it is also recommended that the initiator of this battle be punished, otherwise, mediation will be extremely difficult.

"At present, the Southeast is no longer guaranteed, and Zhao Du doesn't need to say much... The only anxious point in the negotiations should be Chu Tianxiao... Should I hand over or keep it?"

Many ministers in the field were like mirrors in their hearts. For a moment, the attackers quickly gathered together and spoke together... They were very smart and did not force themselves to say "hand over the Chu Tianxiao", but focused on "recalling Chu Tianxiao to punish the crime" - because according to the logic of the Zhou people, if we make mistakes, we must punish our own people, and others have no right to interfere! So even if Chu Tianxiao is "sincere", if we hand him over like this, it would be something that the Zhou people would absolutely not accept!

However, no matter what, in the eyes of the important officials in the field, Chu Tianxiao was already a serious crime this time and there was no possibility of turning over. It was nothing more than the question of how to die...

Just as everyone was talking in full swing, an idea suddenly appeared in Wu Xiang's mind...

"This is the situation, will Chu Tianxiao sit and wait for death?"

Suddenly, he thought of a certain possibility, and a flash of light flashed through his eyes. Almost at the same time, Emperor Zhou also narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something...

"I see……"

"Little prodigal son, you actually want to..."

"But...what do you want to do it? Could it be..."

Just as this thought emerged, Wu Xiang quickly left the list: "Your Majesty! I..."

Emperor Zhou waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't be in a hurry to talk to Zhao Zhi for a moment, and you must not be weak! I will pass on my will and order the immortals to take action, and put it in a state of burning both jade and stones. I will drag it for a few days first to squash the spirit of the Zhao people!"

After these words, several vicious officials reacted, and suddenly, an anxious cry sounded in the venue.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Can't stimulate Zhao Chao anymore!"

"Destroying demons is the most important thing, Your Majesty think twice!"

But this time, Emperor Zhou, who had always accepted advice, showed the king's decisive and arbitrary!

"I have decided! Retreat the court!"

After the words came to the end, the firmness and coldness of the tone made everyone feel terrified in the audience, and no one dared to say anything more...

...

...

At the same time, Duanyun Cliff is the prodigal army camp.

Even the Great Zhou Kyoto has learned the news that the current situation has deteriorated, so this side is no exception.

In the camp, all the generals of the prodigal army were browsing. Looking at Chu Tianxiao's eyes, there was a slight worry, and there was also a determination of "who dared to touch the young master and fight with whom"... Only Chu Tianxiao heard that Jin Du was lost and Jieting was lost, but he was neither shocked nor angry nor worried. On the contrary, he had a faint smile on his face...

"very good."

"The bad news I'm going to wait for finally arrived..."

Chu Tianxiao said, slowly paced, opened the curtain of the camp, and walked out.

It was already late autumn. Even though Zhao was in the south and the water and soil were warm, there was still a hint of cold wind in this mountainous land...

The weather...it's already a little cold.

Chu Tianxiao looked at the blue sky, subconsciously shook her sleeves, and said leisurely: "It's cold..."

"So."

He smiled faintly.

"Let the Great Zhao destroy the country."
