Seeing that he mentioned Princess Shaoyang, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, which was also a problem he was worried about.

There is no doubt that if Lu Chen agreed to Heqing to destroy Chu, Princess Shaoyang would definitely cry heartbroken and then cried with Lu Chen.

Just a true king cannot be influenced by a woman in military and national affairs! Even if he loves Shaoyang, it won’t work!

At this time, Lu Boyan said again: "King, if you really destroy the State of Chu, it would be like to encourage the enemy. At that time, Qing Kingdom will definitely turn around and attack our country again!"

What he said, Lu Chen certainly knew that just this step was inevitable.

As soon as Lu Boyan finished speaking, other ministers also said: "I hope the king will think twice."

Seeing so many ministers objecting, Lu Chen took a deep breath and then said in a calm voice: "Okay, I understand what the ministers mean. I will consider this matter seriously. You all need to step down first."

The king did not make a decision. When the ministers heard this, they knelt on the ground and looked at each other, and then they could only say, "I will leave."

After they all left, Lu Chen summoned Sima Wen, Chen Qun and others in the study one by one.

Chen Qun was the first to propose the destruction of Chu. On this issue, he said to Lu Chen: "Chu State is in good luck, swaying, and has two sides. It has a alliance today, and it will be possible to run through Qing tomorrow, without any trust and righteousness. If the king wants to unify the world, Chu State must be destroyed, and we must take advantage of the fact that we now occupy Sanjiangkou and Hanyang. Otherwise, if we drag it back, the situation will be difficult to control. More importantly, Chu State has just experienced the consumption of civil war and its national situation is still unstable. The king should take this opportunity to make a decision early!"

Here he strongly advised Lu Chen to destroy Chu, and after he left, Sima Wen came in, which was the same. However, after putting forward his own point of view, Sima Wen said carefully: "King, if the princess knows about the destruction of Chu..."

"Shaoyang..." Lu Chen closed his eyes, and then said with a slight slight voice: "She can't control my king's determination to unify the world!"

Then came Liu Yuan, who said to Lu Chen: "King, if our country does not destroy Chu now, then Chu will definitely find ways to recover Hanyang and Sanjiangkou. Once our country loses these two strategic areas, even if we want to destroy Chu again in the future, it may be more difficult to defeat Qing with the Yangtze River chasm."

If it weren't for the chaos in the Chu country, how could the Feng army take advantage of the situation to occupy it? Such a strategic location would be a necessary condition for the Feng army to enter Chu.

At first, it seemed that Feng Qing and his army were fighting in Chu, but in fact, when the two armies retreated, they both stuck the key points of Chu and laid the foreshadowing for the destruction of Chu very early.

The three important officials agreed, which made Lu Chen immediately make up his mind.

The next day, Lu Chen personally met Shangguan Jin. While drinking and talking to the latter, he also said: "Prime Minister Shangguan, I still have a doubt at the moment. Please ask Prime Minister Shangguan to solve the doubts."

"Please tell me the wind." Shangguan Jin said hurriedly.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "If the two countries work together to destroy Chu and when the war begins, Chu will be defeated, then he will inevitably seek peace. If he seeks peace from Qing, it means surrender, Qing, how to make a decision."

"Always destroy Chu!" Shangguan Jin said directly.

"Okay!" Hearing this, Lu Chen stopped saying anything, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and smiled heartily: "Come on, I will give you another cup to Prime Minister Shangguan!"

"Please, Your Highness." Shangguan Jin quickly raised his glass with both hands.

After the Fengwang Lu Chen made a decision, Shangguan Jin did not stay in Fengzhou for many years, but instead said goodbye and started returning to Qingdi.

As for this result, many ministers of the Feng Kingdom began to persuade Lu Chen in the court, and except for Sima Wen and others, people fell to their knees.

The ministers have the idea of ​​the ministers, but they cannot say that they are wrong. They can only say that in their opinion, Qing Kingdom is terrible than Chu, and that our country should not be accomplices with Qing Kingdom. Even if Chu is not destroyed, our country can still be invincible among the three countries. But if Chu is destroyed and there are only two countries left in the world, our country will have some potential dangers.

Lu Chen also understood this principle, but his determination to unify the world is beyond doubt!

In the court, looking at the kneeling ministers, he stood up and shouted with a shock: "I have decided my intentions! I will not change it! All the ministers do not need to persuade them again! Retreat the court!"

The king Lu Chen is absolutely decisive and decisive, and the ministers also have a certain understanding of their king. Seeing that Lu Chen had left, people sighed. When they left the court, Lu Boyan even said to Sima Wen: "Master Sima is the first-rank of the dynasty. Today, the court discusses, why don't he speak!"

He was blaming Sima Wen for not coming out to advise, but he didn't know that Sima Wen supported the destruction of Chu!

After hearing this, the latter smiled slightly and said in a plain voice: "Before the king makes a decision, the ministers will persuade him, which will still work, but once the king makes up his mind, no one can change it."

In fact, Sima Wen and his group of ministers who followed Lu Chen from Pingzhou were completely different from the Jing officials. Jing officials or the old ministers of Feng Kingdom cared more about the stability of the country and there was no war in Feng Kingdom, while Sima Wen and his few advisers cared more about helping Lu Chen unify the world and accomplish the highest merits.

To put it bluntly, Sima Wen, Chen Qun and others represent radicals, while Lu Boyan, Wang Song and others represent conservatives.

A few days later, in the palace study.

Liang Xiao walked in quickly and said, "King, Princess, she..."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Shaoyang had already walked in, with tears on her face. After seeing Lu Chen, she even asked directly: "Are you planning to attack Chu?"

Unexpectedly, she found this place. In front of Princess Shaoyang, Lu Chen didn't know how to answer this question, so he couldn't help but put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Husband, are you planning to attack Chu? Can you answer me?" Princess Shaoyang said, tears falling down, and she also took two steps forward.

Seeing this, Lu Chen took a deep breath, then glared at Liang Xiao, and said angrily: "Who told her! Who told her!?"

Liang Xiao dared not tell Princess Shaoyang about this kind of thing. Hearing Lu Chen's angry shout, he couldn't help swallowing secretly and said carefully: "I...I don't know..."

"It must be those ministers of Lu Boyan!" Lu Chen waved his hand irritably and signaled him to retreat.

Liang Xiao quickly bowed and retreated. The situation is not right now, so he would not be willing to stay here.
