In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dongyang first told Zhou Tianfu's whereabouts in the court hall.
One day, the three words "Zhou Tianfu" were almost a nightmare for the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
Zhou Tianfu's case involved many people, and most of the imperial court was basically dismissed and replaced with new ones.
Even if they have never met Zhou Tianfu, they have definitely heard of that terrifying name.
"Zhou Tianfu is not dead yet?"
"That old thief actually went to Qi State. He is afraid that he will help the enemy deal with our great Chu and eat everything he eats!"
"Zhou Tianfu is extremely cunning and has great control over Da Chu. He must not be allowed to live."
Everyone's thoughts are pure.
There is a kind of mortal person who threatens everyone's interests.
Chu Yanwu gritted his teeth slightly, "This Zhou Tianfu is really a ghost."
"But he is now in an enemy country and is even treated as a guest by the royal family. I'm afraid he has played his own role."
"If we want people, it's not that simple."
A minister came forward and said: "Your Majesty, our national strength is sufficient now. If you can exert pressure, you may be able to make the other party feel afraid and compromise."
Someone else said: "You can also stand still and look for assassins in private to kill them quietly."
This idea is quickly countered: "Why do you think he became a guest of the royal family? Do you think it is so easy to kill people in the palace?"
Everyone was arguing endlessly, and they had some ideas, but few of them were reliable. On the contrary, Chu Yanwu had a splitting headache.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet!"
He first glanced at Zhang Dongyang: "Zhang Aiqin, you have always been resourceful, do you have any ideas about this matter?"
Zhang Dongyang said calmly: "Compared with frontal pressure, the risk of suicide is indeed exposed, and it will leave us with a stigma."
"A humble minister is incompetent. He thinks he is aboveboard and comes forward to put pressure on others, which can also put some psychological pressure on the enemy."
In fact, Chu Yanwu thought so too.
Now that he has sufficient military strength, he also has the capital to deal with Da Qi.
But, who should be sent to do this?
He went to assassinate Xiao Chen's assassin, but so far he has not received a reply.
If nothing else, it should have failed.
It just so happened that Zhou Tianfu was in Daqi, so if Xiao Chen was allowed to go through this muddy water.
Either Zhou Tianfu is destroyed, or he stays there by himself. No matter from which point of view, his own interests are maximized.
After straightening his body slightly, Chu Yanwu said loudly: "Supervisor Xiao made great achievements a few days ago. It was the time when his majesty was at his fullest and his reputation spread far and wide."
"If we want to suppress the situation peacefully and show the majesty of Chu, it would be most appropriate for General Zhendong to come forward. What do you think, dear ladies?"
Zhao Xifeng frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, everything went as Xiao Chen expected, and the old fox really planned to push it out.
So what if he was made a general, he didn't even give him a soldier, it was just in name only.
Previously, he was asked to lead a thousand men to fight against an enemy country, but now he wanted to repeat the same trick. It would not be harmful to him anyway.
This kind of person has no tolerance and magnanimity at all, and is truly unworthy of his status as the king of a country.
Even Zhao Xifeng looked down on him. No wonder Zhang Dongyang, an upright man who devoted himself to serving the country and the people, would also criticize him.
Everyone was whispering to each other, with Chu Yanwu as the leader to support, and others echoed one after another.
Zhang Dongyang interrupted: "Your Majesty, I think it would be inappropriate to send the disinfection team again."
"Japan has just been captured by Governor Xiao, and there are still many remnants hiding in various places. If there is no one to guard Japan at this time, I am afraid that those remnants will gather again and cause another catastrophe."
Others followed Zhang Dongyang and continued: "General Zhendong does not have enough troops at hand. I am afraid that a careless appearance will be counterproductive. It will make our great Chu a joke to the enemy and encourage others to be arrogant."
What about General Zhendong?
Who doesn't know that he has no military power, and who doesn't know that he relies on others?
Without talking about some things, Chu Yanwu seemed to regard them as fools more and more, and regarded national affairs as his own private power game.
Those losers are willing to show off his majesty, but there is still a stream of fresh air in the court, and they will not let such stupid things continue to ferment!
Chu Yanwu's face turned dark, and his brows were filled with displeasure: "You mean, I have wronged Xiao Chen?"
He shouldn't have asked this, and once he asked, he got even more out of control.
"If you really want General Zhendong to come forward, you must show the majesty of a general and at least 200,000 troops."
"General Xiao is brave and strategic, and is good at planning. If he has 200,000 troops, he can capture Zhou Tianfu even if he reaches the sky."
That is, if Chu Yanwu is willing to give these two hundred thousand troops, is he willing to give them?
He didn't ask anything, but he unknowingly put Chu Yanwu into a dilemma.
Knowing that Xiao Chen is so powerful, but still giving him military power, doesn't that give him the capital to rebel?
The hands often under his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, and he glared fiercely at Jin Guangyao, who had been silent for a long time.
"Prime Minister Jin, what do you think?"
"At this time, he needs someone with identity who can speak for him!"
And this talentless person who was promoted by him is the tool he can best use at this time.
Jin Guangyao hurriedly stepped forward in fear, and cleverly followed his intention and said: "Wei Chen also thinks that General Xiao is the most suitable candidate. Since he could deal with a country with a thousand people back then, why can't he do it now?"
"Isn't it that there is no one guarding Jiangdong? At worst, we can just find someone to replace him. Is it possible that we are afraid that a group of thieves who have been defeated will come back again?"
These words were so shameless that even Zhao Xifeng couldn't stand it.
Xiao Chen's life is no longer life?
As a general, he obviously has greater power, but it is compressed to the point where he is no different from an ordinary petty official.
Not willing to show sincerity in re-use, but still willing to risk his life.
To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is shameless!
Zhao Xifeng was furious and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, don't forget, no matter how smart Xiao Chen is, he is just a eunuch."
"Letting a eunuch demonstrate to the enemy on behalf of my great Chu will only make people laugh at my great Chu because I have no one!"
"If your majesty can trust me, why not let me personally lead the troops and have a good confrontation with Daqi so that they can distinguish their status!"
Zhao Xifeng took the initiative to ask for help, which made the court excited.
He is a victorious general, and he will certainly be as majestic as Xiao Chen when he goes out in person.
And he was right, Xiao Chen was a eunuch, wouldn't it make people laugh if he represented Da Chu?
At this time, Xiao Chen sneezed several times for some unknown reason.
"You are so careless, and you are talking bad about me behind my back, don't let me catch you!"
Little did he know that the atmosphere in the Chu Dynasty at this time was simply suffocating.
