Even if everyone has any ideas about Shi Hu's attitude, how could they dare to express it?

Today, they first witnessed the cruel murder of Shi Xuan, the old favored prince, and saw that Zhang Chai, an old and powerful official, was severely punished just because of a disagreement. Who dared to publish a so-called high-profile argument?

What's more, no matter what the Lord is, no matter what the heirs are, the kind lord, humbly accepting advice? If there is any decision, they can only accept the order.

But even if Shi Hu didn't say anything, he didn't let them go. Anyone in the tent who had calculated the other one was almost scolded and was scolded as a group of waste who had spent money to support. At this point, when the state affairs were in a difficult situation, no one could do anything big.

In short, this rally ended up being a place for Shi Hu to vent his anger and vent, but he did not make any meaningful decision.

And this is just the beginning. In the next trip, Shi Hu had to convene a meeting of ministers almost every day, sometimes several times a day, which made the civil and military officials of Jie Kingdom accompanying him miserable because they didn't know what kind of consensus Shi Hu wanted to reach. Shi Hu didn't say it, and there was no even a slight hint, just letting them guess.

Such a meeting is even more tormenting than cruel punishment. Previously, the ministers might have sympathized with Zhang Chai for being a minor mistake, but soon they lost this mood, and even envied Zhang Chai for being able to avoid this torture later.

After that, the ministers of Jie State lost the good luck of Zhang Chai. Several people were convicted one after another and were directly killed in the army.

He went to Qinghe Cui Yu, but because he was late for the memorial, he was taken into the camp. All those who were in charge of the Qinghe Cui family were seized and sentenced to prison. Wang Bo, the secretary of the Central Secretariat, commented on the old year and gave him his humiliation. Now, as an important official in charge of the imperial edict, he could not settle the rules, so he was unable to be sentenced to be beheaded. He also sent envoys to Xiangguo, confiscated his family, and his blood relatives were punished together.

Other victims may not have the status of these two people, but they are not unusual to be able to accompany them. However, in the rage of Jie Lord Shi Hu, these ministers, no matter how powerful or famous they are, they will only be a knife if they violate him.

There was also Guo Yin, a founding country and a veteran of the two dynasties. Although he was not directly convicted, he was also scolded for being old and could not bear the humiliation and died suddenly at night. The Jie master Shi Hu said that it was not appropriate to discuss funerals in the army, and prohibited all funeral rituals from the Guo clan and ordered Guo Yin to be buried on the spot. Because the Guo clan's sorrow was too much, he cried and disobeyed the orders of the Lord. More than a dozen people were punished and executed!

Xindu is not far from Xiangguo, and it can be reached in two or three days. However, because the Jie Lord's etiquette is already extremely popular and the speed is not fast. In addition, various accidents, the journey has only been halfway through half a month.

During this period, from high-ranking officials and nobles to camp soldiers, it can be said that no one lived a comfortable life. Everyone was worried and extremely worried, fearing that the disaster would come to themselves.

Perhaps only he himself knows what the purpose of the Jie Lord Shi Hu’s torture is and what kind of gains he has gained.

But in fact, even Shi Hu himself was really confused and didn't know what to do next. Envoys came to Xiangguo every day to ask diligently to estimate the return date. Shi Hu never gave an accurate answer to the report on peace talks in Ye.

For Shi Hu, he summoned his ministers to discuss matters every day, really wanted to brainstorm and work together, hoping to get inspiration and find a solution that could cope with the current situation.

But even he himself had no opinion. No matter what these ministers said, he felt that it was inappropriate. He was not thorough and could not tolerate any disobedience. Only when he was angry and killed, could he feel that the situation seemed to be still under control, but it was also difficult to alleviate the real danger.

Shi Hu is still a little confused about the future, but some people have actually made up their minds.

Now, all the civil and military officials and all complained because they didn't know how to deal with the daily memorials. Zhang Chai, who was the first to suffer, was spared from being banned from attending the meeting. After a few days of public display, he was released back to his ranks. Although he suffered a little humiliation, he felt so comfortable compared to the rest of the people who were trembling and in danger.

However, the current situation is like this, Zhang Chai naturally dared not feel that it was not his own and relaxed. During this period, he has been guessing what his master wants and what he should do in this way to get rewards.

"The southern country is becoming more and more powerful, and has suffered numerous defeats. This time, even the capital has suffered misfortune. However, the Lord has no longer had the ambition of his old age. He has never faced such a serious evil situation since he became famous. He is now in a state of misfortune..."

Unlike others who are shocked by the fact that the master has become more and more cruel and silent recently, Zhang Chai has been following Shi Hu for a long time and knows how this master's temperament is very deep. He knows that Shi Hu has always been cunning under tyranny. Even if he has any cruel means, he must have his purpose. It is not just as simple as venting his anger.

However, what Shi Hu did during this period was like prohibiting the Guo clan from mourning, which was completely unreasonable and meaningless. From this, we can see that the Lord himself had already made great mistakes and did not know what to do to effectively restore the bad situation.

However, Zhang Chai did not dare to make big talk about such discourses outside, but he only made some comments in the dark room of the second and third secret confidant.

As a veteran of Jie Kingdom, Zhang Chai has a very unique position, but it is not just a saying. Before the first lord Shi Le had completely made his fortune, Zhang Chai and his fellow villager Yu Lun gathered tens of thousands of people to obey the orders of the then Youzhou governor Wang Jun. Their follow-up of their troops indirectly destined Wang Jun's defeat, laying the foundation for Shi Le to defeat one of Hebei's strongest opponents.

Later, Zhang Chai made contributions in the battle to defeat Han and Zhao. It can be said that he was one of the founding elders of Jie Kingdom who had both strength and achievements, and had few remaining.

Although Zhang Chai's private military affairs suffered a lot during the subsequent follower of Shi Hu's southern expedition, even his legitimate brother Zhang Xiong died in Huai, if he had no support for Shi Hu, it would be difficult for Shi Hu to successfully enter Xiangguo.

Of course, the old love is one aspect, and Shi Hu himself is not very kind. The lord who takes into account the old love is actually Shi Hu is actually using him to establish his authority. If it weren't for Zhang Jacky's clan and his subordinate power or the power that Shi Hu needs to borrow, Zhang Jacky's situation might not be better than others.

"What Brother Ye saw, how will the outcome of this battle with the Southern People be successful? How should my family plan for themselves?"

Hearing Zhang Chai say this, his clan brother Zhang Li couldn't help asking.

After hearing this, Zhang Chai showed a slightly exaggerated gimmick on his face: "War? How can we still fight? Do you know how the Lord did in previous years? If he really had the courage to fight to the death with the Jin army in the south, why would he still be on the way back to China now?"

Shi Hu was already timid. Perhaps his current fierce and fierce attitudes could scare others, but for those who followed him like Zhang Chai all year round, they were like observing the changes in Shi Hu's mind.

Of course, people's hearts are separated from their belly, who can talk wildly about what others think? Zhang Chai suffered a secret loss not long ago. When the Lord raised this issue to seek advice, he realized that Shi Hu no longer had the courage to continue the war. Otherwise, there would be no need to discuss such a thing, so he sent troops to attack the south!

But when he thought he could understand the Lord's will and asked him to talk, he was fiercely scolded and punished by the Lord's words. It was not that he was wrong, but that he did not consider the Lord's self-esteem.

The war could not continue. Not to mention that because of Shi Xuan's propositions, southern Hebei was already in corruption. Even if the situation in the north and south retreated to the beginning of the year, as the attitude of the Xianbei Dai Kingdom in the Pass became ambiguous and the backyard of the Jie Kingdom was unstable, the war was destined to be unable to go deeper.

Not to mention the current situation, if you continue to fight, it will only drag the country's power into a deeper quagmire. The Jin army does not even need to rush to fight. It only needs to stabilize the current gains and defend the front line. The Jie Kingdom will be exhausted because it cannot take care of both the north and the south and run away.

In Zhang Chai's opinion, the reason why the master has not expressed his opinion so far is mainly because of his self-esteem and his fear of being ridiculed. In the past few years, Shi Hu has been proclaiming that he must take revenge, but he was forced to make an alliance under the city. This is a humiliation that ordinary people cannot bear, let alone Shi Hu who is strong for half his life.

Previously, Zhang Chai proposed to discuss peace and hinted that Ma Qiu could be used as a scapegoat, first gain some respite, and then give all the fault and blame on Ma Qiu, and can also slightly protect the face of the Lord.

This proposal is actually a choice, but Zhang Chai's identity and situation may reveal it, which may make Shi Hu feel that he is taking the opportunity to suppress his direct power, and even ridiculed his unclear employment.

Of course, the more important thing is that Zhang Chai added a sentence afterwards that the state affairs are not in the southern land. In other words, the biggest danger is that the master's family is unstable, which violates Shi Hu's taboo and is inevitably scolded and punished.

Of course, Zhang Chai gradually reminisces about all kinds of things later, but at that time he was suddenly asked by the Lord, how could he think of so many things?

Moreover, the Lord did not hear his words in his heart, otherwise he would not have added a sentence to prevent him from participating in the subsequent meeting. This is to prepare for facing up to and starting to deal with housework, but he is unwilling to let an old minister like Zhang Chai participate in it.

"Waring against the south side can come to an end, of course, the premise is that the Jin army will not continue to advance."

Although everyone in Jie Kingdom, including Shi Hu, is fascinated by the authorities, Zhang Chai already has such a clear statement. It can even be said that even if the Lord still wants to show off his strength to go south, such a real weight as him, he will never devote his own power to this war that is doomed to be unfair.
