Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 178

Chapter 177: King Wu who gave up struggling

"Your Excellencies, the governor of Zhou Dadu wrote a letter requesting a peace agreement with Deng Guo. I don't know what you think?" Wu Wang Palace, in the imperial study room, Wu Wang sat paralyzed on his seat, unable to speak.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they don't want to be the first to speak. Even the two courtiers Lin Yuan and Huang Er dare not speak. If the peace agreement is reached, then if the king of Wu settles the score after autumn, the two of them may be the first to suffer.

After a long time, Zhang Chao came out. He is the prime minister. Now no one dares to answer the words of King Wu. It's better to come out on your own initiative.

Zhang Chao cupped his hands and said, "Back to your Majesty, I seconded the request of the Governor of Zhou. Now the Vietnamese army has entered Yuzhang, the Hunan army has been defeated, and the situation is getting worse and worse for us. You must know that the Vietnamese army is different from the Deng army. Occupying Yuzhang is useless, but if the Yue army occupies Yuzhang, its strength will increase greatly, and my Great Wu's strength will shrink greatly. Forever in vain."

"This..." King Wu felt a little reconciled. Thinking about how he uttered nonsense before the war started, why did he defeat Deng first, and then go north to compete in the Central Plains, but now?In just a few months, they were slapped in the face, and the Vietnamese army also entered Yuzhang. Even if Deng Jun retreated, the Vietnamese army alone would be enough for Wu Guo to drink a pot.

Now King Wu really regrets it, why was he so impulsive at the beginning, that woman, if Deng Guo wanted it, then just give it back to him, why bother to get such a field.

But the situation is not stronger than others, King Wu could only swallow his breath, nodded, and said: "Okay then, then I will trouble Zhang Xiang to go to Wancheng in person to show my sincerity." If he could not reach a peace agreement with Deng Jun as soon as possible, I am afraid that the whole of Yuzhang would be captured by the Vietnamese army, so the king of Wu directly let the prime minister Zhang Chao go, and the prime minister of a country went to the peace negotiation in person. This is enough sincerity.

Zhang Chao was also aware of the urgency of the matter, so he nodded and said: "I obey the order, but my lord, I think, should the queen be taken out of the cold palace before the peace negotiation?"

After Zhang Chao agreed to go to Wancheng as an envoy, he proposed to ask King Wu to take Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace.

"Take the deposed empress out of the cold palace? Is it necessary? Anyway, she will return to Deng country at that time." Wu Wang was a little unwilling. It was his biggest concession to be able to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Deng Guo, and now he still has to That woman picked it up?Isn't this pressing your face on the ground and rubbing it?According to King Wu's thinking, since that woman will return to Deng Guo sooner or later, why not just wait for Deng Guo to send someone to pick her up and send her back to Wancheng by car?
Zhang Chao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. You must know that the reason why we have antagonized Deng Guo is because of the queen. I heard that when the queen was in Deng Guo, she had a very high prestige among the Deng royal family. Now that the queen has entered the cold palace, it directly caused the dissatisfaction of the Deng royal family, which led to the war. Now that we have picked up the queen, we want to release our sincerity in the peace talks to King Deng, so that the peace talks can continue."

King Wu struggled for a while, but still nodded, and said: "Well, I will send someone to take the deposed queen out of the cold palace later, and Zhang Xiang will go to prepare to go to Wancheng first."

"Here!" Zhang Chao responded and left, but the others saw that Zhang Chao had left, and the matter had already been decided, and there was no point in staying here any longer, so they left one after another.

After all the ministers left, the King of Wu ordered someone to deliver an order to take Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace.

But King Wu hadn't heard the news that Princess Tai'an had left the Leng Palace, so Mrs. Ma ran to the imperial study crying.

"My lord, I heard that you are going to take that woman out?" Madam Ma cried. At that time, she was still taking care of her son in her bedroom. When she heard that King Wu was going to take Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace, she was shocked and ran away. Come to King Wu.

King Wu nodded expressionlessly, and said: "Yes, the situation in Yuzhang has deteriorated. Both Zhou Kai and Zhang Chao proposed to discuss peace with the widow, and the widow agreed, but before the peace talks, the woman must be taken out, otherwise Deng Guo will not let it go."

"Your Majesty, no, that woman is disrespectful to your Majesty, and it was your Majesty's order to put her in the cold palace. If you let her out like this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of your Majesty?" Mrs. Ma was shocked, and quickly persuaded him, wanting King Wu Take it back, if not, Princess Tai'an will be in bad luck when she comes out.

"Hmph!" Wu Wang looked at Ma Shi dissatisfied. How could Wu Wang not understand the little things in Ma Shi's heart? If it is said that this incident happened because of Princess Tai'an, in the final analysis, it was not because of the woman in front of him. In the past, King Wu saw how much Ma Shi loved her, and now he hates her so much. At the same time, King Wu also regretted it. If he hadn't been obsessed for a while and listened to this woman, he would not be so embarrassing now.

So angry, he shouted at Ma Shi: "Do you think the widow doesn't know your thoughts? Do you think the widow wants to let that woman out? It's not because of you. If it wasn't because of you, how could the widow abolish that woman? If it wasn't for you, how could the widow go to war with Deng Guo? If it wasn't for you, why would the widow bow down to Deng Guo? The widow tells you that even your Xiang country has been defeated now, what do you ask the widow to do? "

King Wu vented the anger he had held back for so long, and he felt much more comfortable immediately.

And Ma Shi on the side was also stunned. She had never seen King Wu get angry at her so much, and she was frightened dumbfounded.

Seeing Ma's appearance, King Wu couldn't bear it. After all, she is also his favorite woman, so he comforted him: "You don't have to worry, that woman will return to Deng country in the future, and she won't do anything to you. You go back first."

Ma Shi nodded dumbly, and with the help of the maid, he stumbled out of the imperial study.

The Lenggong Palace of King Wu is not so much a palace as a broken house. Princess Tai'an is sewing clothes in it, but her eyes are red. After a good night's sleep, I dreamed of my son's voice and smile as soon as I fell asleep.

On the opposite side of Princess Tai'an, sat a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She was Princess Tai'an's daughter, Princess Wanling of Wu, Sun Yan.

At this moment, Princess Tai'an's personal maid stumbled in and said, "Princess, good news." She woke up Princess Tai'an and Princess Wanling

"Lian'er, slow down, why are you so happy about the good news?" Princess Tai'an hurriedly called Lian'er to slow down, but the maid didn't stop and ran all the way to Princess Tai'an.

Lian Er smiled and said: "Princess, good news. I heard that King Wu is going to take the princess out of the cold palace?" When the princess married Wu, she was used as a dowry. Even the late Prince Wu and Princess Wanling would call Aunt Lian when they saw her.

"Really? Did the fifth brother send someone here?" Princess Tai'an was overjoyed when she heard this, and her first reaction was to ask if her younger brother had sent someone here.

Lian'er nodded and said excitedly: "It's the real princess. The king not only sent people here, but directly sent troops to attack the country of Wu. If the country of Wu was defeated, the king of Wu could only ask for peace. Princess , we can go back to Wancheng."

"My brother still remembers me, he hasn't forgotten me." Princess Tai'an wept with joy. At the beginning, she wrote the distress letter only with the mentality of trying. She didn't expect her younger brother to be so stubborn, and directly mobilized troops for her elder sister.

Lian'er also cried out. As Princess Tai'an's maid, she knew exactly what kind of life Princess Tai'an had lived in the past year. She was deposed and her son died tragically. There is nothing more tragic than this. If she didn't have a daughter, I'm afraid Tai'an The princess couldn't bear it any longer.

On the other hand, Princess Wanling was stunned. Her brain shut down for a while, and she finally came to her senses. Her uncle sent someone to save her and her mother and left.
