Shen Huo's answer was obviously unexpected by the adjutant, and the adjutant stood on the spot for a while, not knowing how to react.

On the other side, Shen Huo saw the adjutant's reaction, but smiled slightly: "What, do you have any questions?" Since the matter cannot be discussed, it is better to simply return to the Great Zhou and recuperate, and if the Chu State comes to attack, it will be able to fight a battle happily. ”

Hearing Shen Huo say this, the adjutant was stunned at first, then smiled heartily, and said respectfully to Shen Huo: "There is no doubt about the lower official, this matter is all up to His Highness." ”

Speaking of this, the adjutant paused slightly, and then continued: "Besides, with these Chu people here, the lower officials are really impatient. It's better to start with them and fight heartily, but to come happily. ”

After hearing what the adjutant said, the expression on Shen Huo's face also became calm, and he laughed loudly: "Since you have your words, this palace is relieved." Let's go home, not here, and do more entanglement. ”

Since Shen Huo had made a decision in his heart, the other soldiers did not disobey his orders, but just went home with Shen Huo. In this way, Shen Huo returned to Da Zhou in a fit of rage.

After another few days of trekking, the group returned to Da Zhou. The emperor also brought hundreds of officials to greet him. It's just that this time, the emperor's expression is not as happy as before, but rather dignified.

Because Shen Huo was angry, he rashly returned to the matter of the Great Zhou, which could be regarded as a complete break with the Chu State, and the matter of peace negotiation naturally failed. Although Shen Huo didn't care about it, the emperor, as the king of a country, couldn't ignore it.

These days, the emperor has been worrying about the matter of peace, but he didn't expect that after thousands of calculations, it still can't be counted Shen Huo here, and there will be such a big fork.

When he heard the report from the spies, the emperor was shocked at first, but then turned into a deep anger, and couldn't help but take the case, saying: "How can the matter between the two countries be like a joke? Which is more important, can't he tell the difference between such an important matter? ”

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was trembling a little with anger, and the table he had just slapped had faintly appeared under the emperor's strength. The spies on the side looked at it and didn't dare to say much, just stood with a shrunk on the side.

After being angry for a while, the emperor barely calmed down, but the anger between his eyebrows still couldn't dissipate. At present, Shen Huo has mostly left the Chu State, and on the road, the transportation is inconvenient, and the emperor can't do it, so he has to wait until Shen Huo returns to Da Zhou, and then ask him carefully.

With such thoughts, he waited for several days, and finally waited for Shen Huo to return. The emperor's face was extremely heavy, and he led a group of ministers, standing at the gate of the city, waiting quietly.

I don't know how long I waited, but finally there was smoke and dust billowing in the distance. This is the evidence that Shen Huo led all the soldiers back to the Great Zhou. Along with the smoke and dust came the chaotic and complex sound of horses' hooves. The sound of horses' hooves was faint and inaudible at first, but after a while it was clearly visible.

Then, I saw the figures of a group of soldiers. The person at the head was riding a tall horse, it wasn't Shen Huo, who else could it be?

Seeing Shen Huo's return, the emperor couldn't help but think of the failure of the peace talks between the two countries, and the expression on his face was a little solemn, waiting coldly for those people to come over.

After a while, the army led by Shen Huo marched to the emperor and other ministers. Shen Huo, who was the leader, took a step forward, turned over and dismounted, looked in the direction of the emperor and saluted respectfully, and said, "Father, the son is back." ”

"Hmm." Listening to Shen Huo's words, the emperor was still angry in his heart, his face was still extremely cold, he only responded casually, turned around, and wanted to return to the palace, no longer looking at Shen Huo's direction.

Shen Huo saw the emperor's indifferent appearance, first frowned slightly, and then thought carefully in his heart, and then understood that the emperor was mostly so cold to himself because of the failure of the discussion.

Thinking of this, Shen Huo couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face. Although he did not do the right thing to make peace, he never regretted it in his heart.

If he was in the palace of the King of Chu again, with Chu Lingshen and Snake, Shen Huo was afraid that one day he would not be able to control his temper. At that time, it is better to do more excessive things, but it is better to return to the middle of the week as soon as possible. It's also a little more convenient.

Thinking like this, he became calm. Shen Huo took a deep breath, thinking that he would go with nature, not have to force it, follow the steps of the emperor, and walk all the way forward. The ministers and soldiers on the side saw the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince walking forward without saying a word, although they were a little surprised in their hearts, they could only honestly walk forward with them, and did not dare to say more.

In this way, a group of people waited all the way forward, until they reached the position at the entrance of the palace, and the emperor stopped and said coldly: "Everyone, Aiqing, I am tired now, so I will go back to rest first." Disperse yourselves. ”

After saying this, the emperor seemed to think of something, paused slightly, and then continued: "You come to the imperial study, I have something to say to you." ”

This sentence was naturally said to Shen Huo. Shen Huo had long expected such a situation, so he was not surprised in his heart, but nodded slightly and followed the emperor's steps forward.

As the two departed, the ministers dispersed and returned to their homes. On the other side, the emperor and Shen Huo walked in the direction of the imperial study.

The emperor was in a hurry, and his steps were also hurried, and he didn't care about Shen Huo behind him, just blindly walked forward. Shen Huo couldn't, and could only speed up his pace, so that he could follow the emperor closely.

After the two of them came to the imperial study, the emperor first dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, and then closed the doors and windows himself, then looked coldly in the direction of Shen Huo and blamed: "Emperor, you are not young, you should also understand some truths." Why is it so immature?"

Shen Huo was already a little aggrieved in his heart because of what he relied on, and after hearing the emperor's blind accusation, he was naturally even more aggrieved in his heart, and his face couldn't help but be a little stubborn. Shen Huo lowered his head, but his face was still insistent. He said, "Erchen is not immature. ”

"Not immature?" After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but sneer and asked back. He was already full of anger in his heart, and he was provoked by Shen Huo a little bit.

"If the emperor thinks he is mature enough, then I ask the emperor, how should the failure of the peace talks between the two countries be explained?" The emperor's face was already cold, and he asked coldly.

After Shen Huo heard the emperor's words, he was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "I also ask my father and the emperor to forgive my son's ministers for this matter, and I can't report it to you." Keerchen has his own troubles, and he is not doing anything wrong. ”

Hearing Shen Huo say this, the emperor only felt a deep disappointment welling up in his heart. Originally, he sent Shen Huo to Chu State, which was the emperor's great trust in him. The emperor was full of thought that Shen Huo would definitely be able to return victorious, but he didn't expect to wait for such a result.

Hearing this, the disappointment in the emperor's heart naturally became stronger and stronger, but he still did not give up, so he asked Shen Huo again and said, "Emperor, I will ask you again." Do you really have a clear conscience and no remorse about the failure of the peace talks between the two countries? ”

Shen Huo nodded, although his voice was a little slight, he still said very firmly: "Erchen has a clear conscience and no regrets. ”

This sentence can be said to have broken the emperor's last illusion. He only felt disappointed and angry mixed with anger, and the look on his face became even colder, he slapped the table angrily, looked at Shen Huo and said, "Emperor, do I want to praise you for being good?"

Shen Huo still lowered his head slightly, silent. Seeing Shen Huo like this, the emperor was also like a punch on cotton, and he was very deflated. He couldn't help but shake his head tiredly, and waved his hand at Shen Huo: "That's it, you can go back to the East Palace to rest for a while." We'll talk about that tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, Shen Huo still didn't say much, just nodded, his face was peaceful, and turned to leave.

For what he did, Shen Huo was just like what he said in his words, he really had a clear conscience. No remorse. He had no intention of dealing with Tong Chu Lingshen, and he had no intention of exchanging it with him

took a moment of peace from the Great Zhou and deliberately curried favor with the Chu State.

Let's wait until tomorrow above the court, Shen Huo shook his head, no longer thinking about those who didn't have it, just returned to the East Palace and rested himself.

The journey was tiring, and although Shen Huo had strong bones, he couldn't help but feel a little tired. After the palace maids waited for Shen Huo to wash. He lay on the bed, and after a while, he fell asleep.

A dreamless night, a good night's sleep. The next day, when Shen Huo opened his eyes, the sky was still bright. Seeing that he was about to miss the morning court, Shen Huo didn't dare to delay, hurriedly cleaned up, didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and went straight to the court.

At this time, in the court, almost all the ministers have already arrived. Not only that, but everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and the atmosphere looked extremely heavy.

After Shen Huo came, the eyes of the ministers first involuntarily moved to Shen Huo, and then they scattered one after another, no longer looking at him.

After Shen Huo went to the state of Chu, he had a conflict with the king of Chu, and finally failed to negotiate peace, and the news of returning in a huff had already passed through ten or ten spreads, and reached the ears of all ministers.

After making such a big mistake, Shen Huo would no longer be able to gain the emperor's trust, and he would be punished. The ministers are accustomed to stepping on the high and low, and naturally there will be no exception for His Royal Highness the Prince.
