Ahem, Zhou Hong coughed lightly, remind my son, he lost his temper!

Zhou Zhi himself knew that he had just lost his temper, but looking at his father's expression, he was not displeased, nor annoyed, and calmed down his emotions in his heart.

"Father, Xue Guogong of Yanguo asked his sons to ask, what are we going to do next." Zhou Zhigang said this, but was interrupted by a minister.

"What we plan to do, what is it about him, let him take care of it." As soon as the minister spoke, he saw something flying in front of him, and it was too late to hide, and a fold smashed on his head.

When I looked up, I saw that the person on the dragon chair already had an angry face.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister has lost his temper." The minister chuckled in his heart and quickly knelt down to admit his mistake.

Zhou Hong ignored him, but looked at the other ministers; "Now don't slap a swollen face and make a fat man want to save face, I have seen the reality clearly, why are you still obsessed? Let's not talk about what they mean, if they hadn't come, do you think I and all the Aiqing would still be able to breathe and discuss matters here?

They have all assisted me for many years, and they have been in this court for many years, why are they so impetuous and can't listen to the third prince finish speaking? ”

"The ministers are guilty, and Your Majesty is angry." Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers also realized the seriousness of the problem, and knelt down one after another to admit their mistakes.

"All Aiqing are not guilty, it is I who is guilty, it is I who is useless, let you suffer humiliation." Zhou Hong is also rare to be angry with the ministers.

After speaking, he didn't say anything to let them get up, and motioned for Zhou Zhi to continue.

Otherwise, I'm worried that they'll interrupt again.

What Zhou Hong thought was that since Yanguo's self took the initiative to speak, it was just right to hear what it meant.

"Father, what Xue Guogong means is that if we want them to help recover the city captured by Wu Yu, then they will continue to help collect it together. If we want to do the next thing ourselves, then they will leave here and go back to Yanguo. Zhou Zhi finished his words this time.

Yu Guang saw the ministers kneeling on the ground beside him, and he didn't feel guilty.

Listening to his words, all the people in the hall couldn't believe it, it's that simple?

Some ministers still want to open their mouths, saying don't believe it, there must be some conspiracy here, otherwise, why is the other party tossing this trip?

Is it really just here to help Xixiang out of the siege? Who believes?

However, remembering that he was still kneeling, the emperor was still angry just now, so it was better to shut up honestly.

Zhou Hong also looked at his son and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to ask.

Inside the main hall, it became quiet for a while.

"Everyone, Aiqing, you have all heard the words of the three princes clearly, let's get up and talk back, what do you think about this matter, talk about it, analyze and ponder it sensibly, don't talk about that useless nonsense." Zhou Hong spoke.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that these ministers of his were not wine bags and rice bags.

It's just that this time Yanguo sent troops to help, it was really incredible, and no one expected it.

The grievances between Xixiang and Yanguo have been going on for some years, and no one has ever thought that there would be such a situation today.

Wu Yu, who has always been good friends with Xixiang, suddenly changed his face and became an enemy, but the original enemy became a benefactor?

It didn't matter which side it was, whether it was a bad thing to attack or a good thing to help, it all happened too suddenly.

Therefore, these ministers will be like this, even if Zhou Hong is angry just now, he can understand them if he calms down a little.

Because, even if it is himself, it is actually the same.

The reason why he can be a little more rational than them is only one reason, through what happened to Wu Yu this time, he clearly realized that his country is too small, if there is really a country stronger than himself to invade and try to annex it, there is only one result in Xixiang, that is, it is difficult to escape.

Therefore, Zhou Hong's attitude towards Yanguo's soldiers and horses is not just because he trusted him and changed his mind.

If they clean up the thieves of the black feather, it is equivalent to having a bad relationship with the black feather, which means that they are sure and are not afraid of the black feather's revenge.

This time, let Wu Yu's plan fail, Zhou Hong felt relieved of hatred and anger.

"Father, the son thinks that since the Duke of Xue has already said it very clearly, as the father said, let's not die to save face, let them help take back all the cities. According to the only remaining troops we have now, it is very difficult to recover them by ourselves, to be honest.

Besides, even if we want to be ambitious and don't want the people of Yanguo to continue to help, what's the point?

After all, they have already helped, and that is a fact that we can't erase if we don't admit it. Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Jian stepped forward and spoke.

Zhou Zhi nodded immediately when he heard this, and some of the ministers who had just gotten up also nodded.

That's true, what's the point of trying to save face now?

Zhou Hong looked around, and saw that the people who jumped at the mention of Yanguo's soldiers and horses before were now all silent, and they also counted in their hearts; "In that case, Zhi'er, it's up to you to reply to this matter. Wang Tan and the two generals, I will order them to continue to obey Xue Wenyu's arrangement. ”

"Yes, Erchen will go." Zhou Zhi's heart was wide, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at his father.

If the father is stubborn and thinks the same as those ministers before, Xixiang will really be completely finished.

"Wait a minute, you can go with you, and ask again, they have enough food and grass." Zhou Hong shouted to the third prince who had almost walked to the door of the hall, and pointed to the eldest prince Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian immediately responded to the order of the minister, and followed the third brother out.

Zhou Hong actually wanted to arrange a few important ministers of the DPRK and the central government to go over together, which seemed more sincere, after all, he was asking for help!

Of course, the greatest sincerity should be that he, the emperor, passed over personally.

However, fortunately, listening to Zhou Zhichuan's words, people don't seem to mind any sincerity or insincerity at all.

It's not that I don't mind, it's that people don't care at all!

Thinking like this, Zhou Hong smiled self-deprecatingly!

When the emperor treats himself like this, it's really, hey!

Now that he has decided what he wants to do next, Zhou Hong retired early.

Back in the apse, wanting to be alone and quiet, the queen Shangguan Xia, who heard the news, hurriedly came.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't want to interfere in the government's affairs, that is, they just think it's not good for Your Majesty not to meet them in person? Otherwise, let's take a trip to the concubine. Shangguan Xia said cautiously.

Zhou Hong listened and stared at his queen.

"Of course, if Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, you will treat it as a concubine and don't say anything." Shangguan Xia hurriedly said.

"No, what the queen said is very true, then Queen Lao will be tired and go away. You are the mother of a nation in Sexiang, and this sincerity is enough. I happened to test it too, and said that I wanted to invite them into the palace to thank them in person and see what their attitude was. Zhou Hong suddenly felt that the queen's proposal was too good......
