After destroying the Song Kingdom, Chen Guojun was very excited, led the army to return to China, and when he returned to Chen State, he ordered people to hold a feast in the palace, and celebrated with the ministers, and the palace was full of joy.

On this day, Chen Guojun was drinking and listening to music with his ministers, and suddenly heard a report from outside the palace that an envoy from Zhou Tianzi asked to see him. When the envoy came to the main hall, the king said to the messenger drunkenly, "Has the envoy come to congratulate the king?" Come on, come on, this king will have a drink with you first. The envoy shook his hands vigorously, knocked the king's wine glass to the ground, and said indignantly: "The king is the king of a country, but his behavior is so frivolous, what kind of manners has become. This envoy came on behalf of the Son of Heaven to ask the monarch for his crimes. Thou hast slain the envoy without regard for morality; Thou hast no willfulness, but thou hast slaughtered the king and slaughtered the city. The Son of Heaven ordered you to come to the royal city to confess your sin. When the monarch heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was so embarrassed that he was speechless for a while, and the ministers were also shocked. At this time, Xia Ji stood up and said to the envoy: "Song Guo provoked a war for no reason, bullied my brother, and insulted my husband, but Zhou Tianzi was silent; And I had no choice but to raise volunteers to resist it, and Zhou Tianzi blamed and reprimanded him. Zhou Tianzi is so biased in handling things, he is really in vain as the co-master of the world. When the envoy heard this, he pointed at Xia Ji and scolded: "Such a demon woman should be cut by a thousand knives." The monarch said angrily: "Bold and rude, I respect you as the envoy of the Son of Heaven and will not kill you, and you will not retreat quickly." The messenger was angry but helpless, so he had to go away.

Chen Guojun returned to the dormitory, sullen, Xia Ji approached and said, "Zhou Tianzi is rude, the king will definitely give color." The monarch asked: "Although the Zhou royal family has declined, after all, it is still the nominal co-lord of the world, how can we color it?" Xia Ji said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, the Zhou royal family lives in Luoyang, and the daily use depends on the tribute of various countries, the king does not go to the tribute this year, Zhou Tianzi will be embarrassed, and naturally he knows how powerful my Chen State is." The monarch even said that it was wonderful, and immediately smiled, hugged Xia Ji, and lingered again.

The annual day of the court meeting came as scheduled, and Chen Guojun really did not come, Zhou Tianzi was furious, and scolded Chen Guojun in front of other princes. In fact, in recent years, as the princes have gradually become the largest, the prestige of the Zhou royal family has already plummeted, and many foreign countries, such as Qin, Chu, Qi and other countries, have rarely come to the court, and only some countries with the surname Ji such as Song, Chen, Cai, and Hua come to Luoyang every year.

Cai Guojun has always been good friends with Chen Guojun, and after the end of this court, he passed through Chen Guojun and informed Chen Guojun of Zhou Tianzi's scolding. The monarch was ashamed and angry when he heard this, and after sending away the monarch of Cai Guojun, he went to Xia Ping Palace to tell Xia Ji about the matter, and Xia Ji said angrily: "Zhou Tianzi humiliated the king so much, completely ignoring the feelings of the same surname, and the king can also ignore the righteousness of the same room." The king asked, "What should I do?" Xia Ji sneered: "In this golden autumn season, the wheat outside Luoyang City has already matured, why don't the king send a team of soldiers to cut all the cooked wheat outside the city and see how Zhou Tianzi copes." When the king heard this, he praised again and again: "The queen has a wonderful plan. ”

Dusk comes, the heavy ears of wheat shine in the setting sun, and the breeze blows, sending bursts of mellow fragrance of autumn wheat. Looking at the yellow and clear outside the city, the people of Luoyang felt a sense of fulfillment and peace of mind.

Suddenly, a puff of dust rose not far away, and a group of heavily armed Chen soldiers were running towards the wheat field, only to see the Chen soldiers enter the wheat field with their knives falling in their hands, and after half a while, there was only a piece of wheat stubble left outside the city, standing abruptly against the wind.

The entire Zhou royal family was furious, and the entire Luoyang City was boiling. Zhou Tianzi issued an edict to the princes of the world, summoning the troops of the king of Qin from all countries, and all the defenders of Luoyang, and Zhou Tianzi wanted to personally conquer the Chen State.

Chen Xiang wandered around the hall with Zhou Tianzi's edict in his hand, and Lu Zhu silently waited by the side, not daring to disturb at all, she knew that her husband had to make a big decision again, and this decision was so big that it was related to the life and death of the slippery country.
