Then Xiao Shu loved him when she chose to marry him, right?
It’s just that I don’t love it anymore…
I regret my choice to marry him.
Shen Zhuo suddenly felt heartache again. Who was heartbroken this time?
"Think about it yourself! I'll give you one year. After one year, you may not love him anymore. Girls still have to find someone who loves them wholeheartedly, otherwise they will only regret their original choice."
Ji Tong was stunned. No one had ever said such things to her. Why would he say these things to her...
After saying that, Shen Zhuo got up and left, returning to the eighth princess's house. The two of them lived together, just like before in the princess's mansion.
Sometimes he misses the life he spent with her in the princess's mansion, living without fighting against the world.
It's a pity that she is the daughter of the Murong family, if not...
Murong Shu slept uneasily, as if she was having a nightmare, with tears streaming down her face.
"Xiao Shu." He came to hug her, but was pushed away.
…
"Dongjunguo responded on behalf of the Ji family and said that if they want to get married, it will be one year later."
"One year later? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Aren't the Ji family very eager to marry us?"
After receiving the news, Emperor Beiwu summoned ministers and several princes to the palace to discuss the matter.
Prince Ming's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "The Ji family is very arrogant. It is impossible for them to come up with such a strategy. Someone must be secretly guiding them."
"It's Shen Zhuo." Wang Lin clenched his fists. The kidnapping of Wang Min and the others had nothing to do with Shen Zhuo. He regretted it in his heart. He should have killed him with a knife in the first place.
"Then what should we do now? They don't agree to let Xiao Ba go now."
"One year later, there will be too many changes."
Murong Xiao's eyes were sharp and he said: "We can ask Dongjun Kingdom to release Xiao Shu. If they don't let her go, then we will see you on the battlefield."
Are we going to fight again?
The Eastern Mo Kingdom is still watching the border with more than 200,000 troops. Once the Northern Qi provokes a war first, it will be exactly what the Eastern Mo Kingdom wants, and they will gather again in the Eastern Region.
In addition, in the southern region, the marriage relationship between the Northern Qi State and the Nanning State has broken down, and I am afraid that the Nanning State will also take the opportunity to retaliate.
When it comes to war, many ministers say that they don't want to fight.
Old Master Zhou stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is really not appropriate for us to waste money and people anymore."
"Now Northern Qi is indeed powerful, but fighting again will have a great impact on the people. It has been fighting for five years. The people have been in dire straits in the past five years. The war finally stopped, and the people need time to recuperate."
"I hope the emperor will think twice."
Prime Minister Zhao glanced at Feng Wang and said, "I agree that Prince Lie's idea is good. It can save the Eighth Princess and resolve the years of disputes between the Eastern and Northern Regions. But what Old Master Zhou said is true."
"The people are the foundation of the country. If we continue to fight against them, it will be detrimental to the people of Northern Qi."
Most of the civil servants did not support further war.
The military ministers believed that it would be too cowardly to be led by the Ji family of Dongjun without beating him, so he had to beat him until Dongjun was pissed, and he would have to bring everyone from the Ji family to Northern Qi to kneel down and beg for mercy before he could stop.
They were also asked to hold the Eighth Princess back with both hands and kowtow to the Eighth Princess to apologize.
"Your Majesty, now we in Northern Qi are not short of money or soldiers. I still have the Heaven Defying Soldiers. I am not afraid of their Eastern and Southern Alliances at all."
"That's right, we must fight! Rescue the Eighth Princess, and we will support Prince Lie."
"I second the proposal!" Rows of generals stood up.
Emperor Beiwu had a headache and glanced sideways at King Feng, "What do you think of King Feng?"
The whole room fell silent, waiting for King Feng to make a decision.
He is a military commander and the father-in-law of Prince Lie, so he will definitely support Prince Lie.
Who knows.
The Feng King picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip. Then he took out a memorial and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, I am retiring. The future Feng King will be my son Feng Jian. If the emperor has any problems, you should ask Xin Feng
King!"
"This is my prince's announcement of retiring from old age and returning to his hometown. I would like to ask your Majesty to take a look at it."
"puff……"
Old Master Zhou, Minister Zhao and others all took a sip of tea. King Feng is going to retire at this juncture?!
Is he joking?
Mrs. Zhou and Prime Minister Zhao were the first to object.
"Why are you retiring? Are you as old as me? Are you embarrassed to resign and return to your hometown?" Old Master Zhou was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He was gray-haired, almost seventy years old, and he had not rested yet.
Prime Minister Zhao is also older than King Feng, "Your Majesty, we cannot let him retire and return to his hometown."
