The focus of the ministers' discussion has always been how to reward Zhou Buyan.
After many days of debate, it was finally decided that Zhou Buyan would be granted the title of General of the Hussars, first rank.
This is already the highest level of military commander.
As for the title of marquis, the ministers decided not to grant it for the time being after careful consideration.
However, although they did not seal him, they also compromised. Even if Zhou Buyan became the emperor's husband in the end, he could still lead troops and still have military power in his hands.
This was unprecedented before. What the ministers meant was that when Zhou Buyan no longer had military power, he could consider granting him a title.
After all, they really don't want an imperial husband with military power and even more power as a feudal lord.
In general, there is still a balance to be paid attention to.
The emperor's husband is too strong, which is not conducive to balance. What if one day he has a different intention?
They were thinking about Chu Xingchen and Da Chu. Although Chu Xingchen believed in Zhou Buyan, he had to consider their suggestions.
In the end, because Zhou Buyan also insisted that he did not need to be granted a title of marquis, he finally gave up.
This was a process of mutual compromise, both parties were very satisfied, and Zhou Buyan made the decision directly.
"Your Majesty, that's it. It's just right. In fact, I shouldn't be made a marquis. Although I killed the Queen of Wu to avoid future troubles, it is true that there will be hidden dangers in the land of Wu later."
"If this matter doesn't end happily, I don't know what will happen. The court officials didn't mention it, but they knew it."
Of course, Zhou Buyan was right about this matter, but some things just cannot be said to be right or wrong.
"Your Majesty, being an imperial husband is better than being a prince."
That's how the matter was finally decided.
Soon, Chu Xingchen sent the imperial decree back to Feng'an City to designate Lord Zhou Buyan as the emperor's husband and the emperor's eldest daughter Chu Chenxi as the crown princess.
The Dachu newspaper published it at the same time to inform the world.
But because Chu Xingchen and the others were not in Feng'an City, the canonization ceremony of the emperor's husband and the canonization ceremony of the emperor's daughter were prepared first, and the ceremonies would be carried out when they returned.
When the Dachu newspaper published the news, although the canonization ceremony had not yet been held, the imperial edict had been issued and everyone had changed their titles.
And they have already left Feng'an City and gone to other places in Wu where there are Gu pools.
This is what we promised before, the time is almost here, it’s time to set off.
Everyone everywhere knew that the Crown Princess would come and looked forward to it with great anticipation.
Just as Chu Xingchen thought, Wu people regarded Xiaobing's safety as a top priority and tried every means to protect it along the way.
I thought they were too nervous, but in the middle, someone actually assassinated them.
Although the man was stopped by the Gu insect before he could get close, not a single one of the dozen or so dead soldiers escaped.
But this wave of assassinations also shocked everyone.
The Wu people were also angry. At this time, they came to assassinate the Crown Princess. Did they want to kill the Wu people and exterminate their clan?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for frightening Your Majesty and His Highness. Your Majesty, please rest assured that the general will interrogate him carefully and find out the real culprit behind this, and he will also protect Your Majesty and His Highness."
The Wu people expressed their loyalty, and Chu Xingchen also wanted to show his loyalty. It just so happened that the Wu people expressed a particularly strong desire to accompany them, so they finally ordered the Wu people to follow them. In addition to the generals of Chu, there were also other security guards along the way.
Wu people.
The Wu people were really dedicated, and when faced with an assassination, they were more excited than the Da Chu people.
Seeing the cruelty on the general's face, Chu Xingchen held a moment of silence for the person behind him and readily agreed.
Let's interrogate, interrogate carefully, the person who assassinates deserves the most death.
The result came out very quickly, which was both unexpected and unsurprising - a native of Qi.
"It's really them. I just thought of it, but I thought, maybe they won't, but it turns out..."
Zhou Buyan was not too surprised: "They were forced by Lingzhou, no wonder they made a stupid move."
Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan were relatively calm, but when the Wu people knew that the Qi people had sent someone to assassinate the Crown Princess, they became furious.
"The people of Qi dare to attack our imperial concubine. This is when they want to put us Wu people to death!"
Every one of them was furious.
Then there was a wave of craze - to join the army and fight in the war.
Not to mention the various places in the Wu region, the soldiers who were captured by Da Chu were originally doing labor camps, building roads, dams, and engineering projects. After learning about the assassination of the Crown Princess, none of them stopped working.
"We are willing to go to the battlefield again to avenge the crown princess and let the people of Qi know that the Wu people are not to be messed with."
The Crown Princess is now their reverse scale. Anyone who touches the reverse scale will die!
The people of Qi are destined to accept the wrath and revenge of the Wu people.
The people in charge of the captives were also shocked: "Are you really willing?"
The people of Dachu were short of men and soldiers, so it was not that they had not thought of these prisoners. However, although these prisoners were honest and did not make trouble in the past, they calmly accepted the fact that Wu returned to Dachu, and even got along well with the people of Dachu.
But they had never thought about going to the battlefield and fighting for Da Chu before. Faced with those hints, they never paid attention to them.
Unexpectedly, they have changed this time. Da Chu will take the initiative to go to the battlefield without Da Chu opening his mouth.
Everyone couldn't believe it, and they said firmly: "Yes, we do!"
"We want to avenge the Crown Princess and the Wu people themselves!"
They were really angry this time. They threw away the dustpans, hoes, and stones in their hands, and asked one after another to let them go into battle to kill the enemy.
"We are going to kill the Emperor of Qi!"
"If they want to destroy our Wu clan, I will destroy their clan!"
They are not just fighting for Da Chu, they are fighting for Holy Gu, for the emperor's eldest daughter, and for the Wu people themselves.
Scum like Qi should be destroyed.
The reason why Qi State made such a stupid move was because Qi Ming listened to Luo Waner's suggestion and thought that if he killed Xiao Bingcube, the Wu people would be in chaos, and Da Chu would be too busy to take care of himself, so he would not be able to continue to fight them.
.
Then they don't have to be afraid of Chu, and they don't have to suffer the disaster of destroying the country.
Qi Ming and Luo Waner were beaten back and forth by Lingzhou, and they were almost beaten right before their eyes. They had no choice but to retreat, so they finally accepted Luo Waner's suggestion.
Luo Wan'er was really scared and resented that Chu Xingchen had given birth to a girl, and ended up being so respected and important, so it was also jealousy.
"Kill her and let Chu Xingchen suffer the pain of losing his own flesh and blood. We can still save ourselves."
Qi Ming had no choice but to listen and thought it made sense, so he finally accepted the proposal.
Then they paid a heavy price for their proposal.
Da Chu, the wolf, has not yet been defeated, but he has ushered in a new enemy - the Wu people and their poisonous poisonous insects.
Although the Wu people were wiped out, they tasted the feeling of being besieged by Dachu and Wu people.
They regretted it deeply, but they could not turn back time.
The small ice cube that caused such a big reaction from Wu people came to the new city as planned and activated the Gu pool here.
The locals who had been dubious before were really excited when they saw Gu Chi again.
They wanted to kneel down to thank the Crown Princess and kowtow to send some gifts, but they were all politely rejected.
Because Chu Xingchen and the others had encountered this kind of thing before, they were almost overwhelmed by gifts. The enthusiastic Wu people couldn't resist it. Chu Xingchen and the others didn't want to waste money by continuing to accept gifts, so they didn't announce the itinerary or show up.
