Chapter 177: The King of Wu who gave up his struggle

"You are the Lord Zhou, the Grand Governor of Zhou, who asked to make peace with Deng. I wonder what you think?" The King of Wu was sitting in his seat in the imperial study room, unable to do anything.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't want to be the first to speak. Even Lin Yuan and Huang Er dared not speak. After all, they were strongly advocated a war with Deng State. If they responded to the peace agreement, then if the King of Wu settled the score in the future, they would probably be the first to suffer.

After a long time, Zhang Chao left the list. He was the prime minister. No one dared to accept the words of the King of Wu. If he didn't come out yet, I'm afraid that the King of Wu would just click on his name in anger. Instead of letting the King of Wu call him, it would be better to come out by yourself.

Zhang Chao bowed and said, "Return to the King, I will discuss the request of Grand Commander Zhou. Now the Vietnamese army has entered Yuzhang. The Hunan Army has been defeated. The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. You must know that the Vietnamese army is different from the Deng army. It is useless for the Deng army to occupy Yuzhang. However, if the Vietnamese army occupy Yuzhang, its strength will definitely increase greatly, and our great Wu will greatly shrink. As one rises and the other falls, the great Wu of the great Wu will be invincible forever."

"This..." The King of Wu was a little unwilling. Thinking about how he was so arrogant before the war started, what was the defeat of Deng State first and then heading north to compete for the Central Plains, but now? In just a few months, he was slapped in the face, and the Vietnamese army also entered Yuzhang. Even if the Deng army retreated, the Vietnamese army alone would be enough for the Wu State to drink a pot.

Now the King of Wu really regrets it. Why was he so impulsive at the beginning? If Deng Guo wanted that woman, then he would give it back to him, why should he get such a field?

But the situation was not stronger than that of others, and the King of Wu could only swallow this, nodded, and said, "Okay, then please ask Zhang Xiang to go to Wancheng in person to show my sincerity." Due to the current situation, if we cannot reach a peace agreement with the Deng army as soon as possible, the entire Yuzhang would probably be captured by the Yue army. So the King of Wu directly asked Zhang Chao, the Prime Minister, and the blind man of a country to go to peace agreement in person, which was already very sincere.

Zhang Chao also knew the urgency of the matter, so he nodded and said, "I obey the order, but the king, I think, should I take the queen out of the cold palace before the peace talks?"

After Zhang Chao agreed to go to Wancheng, he proposed to ask the King of Wu to take Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace.

"Come to take the deposed queen out of the cold palace? Is this necessary? Anyway, she will return to Deng State at that time." The King of Wu was a little reluctant. Being able to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Deng State was already his biggest concession. Now he still has to take that woman out? Isn't this pressing his face to the ground to rub it? According to the King of Wu's idea, since that woman will return to Deng State sooner or later, why not wait for Deng State to send someone to pick her up and send her out directly and send her to the carriage back to Wancheng?

Zhang Chao shook his head and said, "The king is so bad. You must know that the reason why we get into Deng's country is because of the queen. I heard that the queen was in Deng's country, had a high prestige between the Deng's royal family. Now that the queen has entered the cold palace, it directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Deng's royal family, which led to this war. Now we take the queen out to release our sincerity in peace talks to King Deng, so that the peace talks can continue."

The King of Wu struggled for a moment, but nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone to take the deposed queen out of the cold palace later. Zhang Xiang will first prepare for the trip to Wancheng."

"Here!" Zhang Chao responded and left. When the others saw that Zhang Chao had left and the matter had been decided, it would be meaningless for them to stay here, they all took their leave.

After all the ministers left, the King of Wu ordered someone to pass the imperial edict and took Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace.

However, before the King of Wu received the news that Princess Tai'an had left the cold palace, Ma ran to the imperial study room crying.

"King, I heard you want to pick that woman out?" Ma said crying. At that time, she was still taking care of her son in her bedroom. Suddenly, she heard that the King of Wu was going to pick up Princess Tai'an out of the cold palace. She was shocked and hurried to find the King of Wu.

The King of Wu nodded expressionlessly and said, "Yes, the situation in Yuzhang is corrupt. Zhou Kai and Zhang Chao both proposed that I discuss peace. I agreed, but before the peace talks, I had to take out that woman, otherwise Deng would not give up."

"You must not be a king. That woman is disrespectful to the king, and it is the king's order to put her into the cold palace. If she is let go like this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?" Ma was shocked and quickly persuaded, wanting King Wu to take back his life. Otherwise, when Princess Tai'an came out, she would be in great trouble.

"Hmph!" The King of Wu looked at Ma's family with dissatisfaction. The King of Wu also knew the little things in Ma's heart. If you say that this incident was caused by Princess Tai'an, it was not because of the woman in front of him. In the past, the King of Wu saw how much Ma loved him, and now he hated him. At the same time, the King of Wu regretted it. If he hadn't been obsessed with it for a while, he would not have been so embarrassing now after listening to this woman.

So he was furious and shouted to Ma: "Do you think I don't know what you think? Do you think I want to let that woman come out? It's not because of you, how could I ruin that woman? If it wasn't for you, how could I go to war with Deng? If it wasn't for you, why would I be humble to Deng? I tell you that even your Hunan Kingdom has been defeated now, what should you do if you let me?"

The King of Wu vented his anger that had been held for so long and felt much more comfortable.

The Ma family on the side was also shocked. She had never seen the King of Wu get so angry at her, and she was immediately frightened.

Seeing Ma's appearance, King Wu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was also his favorite woman, so he comforted him: "You don't have to worry. If that woman wants to return to Deng State in the future, she won't do anything to you. You can go back first."

Ma nodded dullly, and with the help of the palace maids, he stumbled away from the imperial study room.

The cold palace of the King of Wu Palace is not so much a palace as a broken house. Princess Tai'an is sewing clothes inside, but her eyes are red. Since her son was sentenced to death and her daughter and she were sent to the cold palace, she has not had a good sleep. She dreamed of her son's voice, appearance and smile as soon as she fell asleep.

Opposite Princess Tai'an, there was a 16 or 17-year-old girl sitting. She was the daughter of Princess Tai'an, Princess Wanling of Wu and Sun Yan.

At this time, Princess Tai'an's personal maid stumbled in and said while running: "Princess, good news." She woke Princess Tai'an and Princess Wanling directly.

"Lian'er, please slow down. What good news are so happy?" Princess Tai'an quickly called Lian'er to slow down, but the maid did not stop and trotted all the way to Princess Tai'an.

Lian'er smiled and said, "Good news for princess. I heard that the King of Wu is going to take the princess out of the cold palace?" Lian'er was the maid of Princess Tai'an when she was in Deng Kingdom. She grew up with Princess Tai'an since she was a child and was like her sisters. Later, Princess Tai'an married far away from Wu Kingdom, so she used her dowry. Even the late Prince Wu and Princess Wanling would call her Aunt Lian when she saw her.

"Really? Did the fifth brother send someone here?" Princess Tai'an was overjoyed when she heard this. Her first reaction was to ask if her younger brother sent someone here.

Lian'er nodded and said excitedly: "It's a real princess. It's not just that the king sent people here, but directly sent troops to attack Wu. The king of Wu could only seek peace. Princess, we can go back to Wancheng."

"My brother still remembers me, he has not forgotten me." Princess Tai'an cried with joy. When she wrote a letter of help, she just wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, her younger brother was so tough that she directly moved for her sister.

Lian'er also cried. As the maid of Princess Tai'an, she knew very well what kind of life Princess Tai'an had been living this year. She was deposed and her son died tragically. This was the tragic life. If it weren't for her daughter, Princess Tai'an would have been unable to hold on.
