I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

This has been given away, so why would it come back again?

For the sake of their prestige in front of their beautiful concubine, and for the sake of the gold and silver, they had to get the emperor to agree to negotiate peace.

Sure enough, when someone proposed peace, someone immediately stood up and agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the earlier this peace negotiation is done, the better. This will also allow those small foreign countries to see the great power and sincerity of our great Zhou Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you want to be the emperor for eternity. If you can be recognized by those small foreign countries, your power will spread throughout the world."

Originally, the mood was very unhappy because of the absence of Lieutenant General Liu, the leading general.

Now that I hear these civil servants praising the emperor and saying that they negotiate peace under the prestige of a great power, the anger in my heart has reached its peak.

Someone immediately stood up and glared at the civil servants who stood up to negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty, those foreigners are so ambitious. They have already massacred two of our cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty. We must not negotiate peace with them!"

"Your Majesty, what the Minister of War said is reasonable. Since we, the Zhou Dynasty, are a big country, how can we get the recognition of those small foreign countries?"

Seeing that their proposed peace was about to be disrupted again, the civil servants who stood up to negotiate for peace were very angry.

"A bunch of reckless men, you only know how to fight, why don't you think about the people on the border? Why don't you think about Zhou?"

Seeing these sanctimonious guys doing traitorous things and using such righteous excuses, the general was also very angry.

"What? Mr. Wang thinks about the people on the border and wants to send their lives to the slaughter of my barbarians in the country?"

"Master Wang is really worried about the country, but he just doesn't know which country this country is."

The general's ridicule made the civil servant's face turn blue and white.

He could not take action against these generals, nor did he dare to verbally express his anger.

Just looking at the angry looks of these generals, if they dare to step forward, it will be a question whether they can go to court safely today.

There was no way, neither could he be beaten nor scolded, so the civil servants had no choice but to ask the emperor to make the decision.

"Your Majesty, listen to the lies of these people. The reason why I ask for peace is for the sake of more people in the Zhou Dynasty."

"Abandoning a few cities can bring peace to the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This kind of thing is much better than going to war with those small foreign countries."

"Besides, how can anyone survive in this battle? The elite soldiers and generals we have raised in Dazhou are not meant for such trivial matters."

The emperor, who was originally sitting at the top and watching the people fighting in the court, suddenly turned cold when he heard the civil servants' nonsense.

"Oh? The loss of two cities and the loss of tens of thousands of people's lives to the slaughter knives of the foreigners are all trivial matters. So what is a big deal to Mr. Wang?"

The emperor suddenly asked, which silenced the originally noisy court.

When Mr. Wang heard what the emperor asked, he realized that he had made a mistake.

"Your Majesty, I...I didn't mean that..."

The silence in the court hall could be heard, leaving only Mr. Wang's trembling voice echoing in the hall.

The emperor did not respond for a long time, which made Mr. Wang even more uneasy.

Within a moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on Mr. Wang's forehead.

Just when Mr. Wang was thinking about how to ask Sima Lian for help, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"Hmph, since Mr. Wang thinks that the lives of tens of thousands of people are just a small matter, he must also know that his own life is not a big deal."

Lord Wang heard the sudden murderous intention in the emperor's tone, and his knees suddenly softened and he knelt in the main hall.

"Your Majesty, I just made a mistake. I didn't mean it."

The emperor's expression was still calm, but when he looked at Mr. Wang and the civil and military officials below, there was no warmth in his expression.

"I remember that Prime Minister Sima told Vice General Liu before that since the words can be said out loud, it means that he has thought about it in his heart."

"Prime Minister, am I right?"

The emperor looked at Sima Lian, who was standing at the front, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Sima Lian frowned in confusion, obviously not expecting the emperor to find him.

Looking at Mr. Wang who was kneeling on the ground, looking at him with hope, Sima Lian did not panic, but stood up holding the wat board.

"Your Majesty is right, I... did say this."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Master Wang, did you hear that?"

Master Wang glanced at Sima Lian in panic, but found that Sima Lian's eyebrows were slightly lowered and he had no intention of looking at him.

Sima Lian's attitude made Lord Wang even more panicked. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the person standing behind Sima Lian glare at him fiercely, Lord Wang panicked and timidly closed his mouth. On the lips.

"I...I heard it."

The emperor saw all this in his eyes. Although he had scolded Sima thousands of times in his heart, his face was still calm.

"If that's the case, then Lord Wang should go and apologize for the people who were massacred on the border, and let the world see Lord Wang's sincerity."

The emperor said it calmly, but Lord Wang, who was kneeling in the main hall, suddenly raised his head.

He seemed to be unable to believe his ears, and his eyes were full of astonishment when he looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, minister... minister..."

Before Lord Wang could beg for mercy, the emperor shouted loudly: "Come here, take Lord Wang down. Remember to go to the vegetable market at Meridian Gate, where there are many people, so that the people can know Lord Wang's sincerity."

When Mr. Wang heard the emperor's words, he immediately collapsed on the ground.

It wasn't until the guards outside the hall tried to drag him away that Mr. Wang came back to his senses.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, save me..."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong..."

However, no matter how loudly he roared, he could not make the emperor open his mouth and leave the person behind.

As Mr. Wang's voice became farther and farther away, the anger in the entire hall became more and more suppressed.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do today, please go back first."

When the emperor stood up and Liao Cheng's high-pitched voice sounded in the hall, everyone came back to their senses.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

……

It wasn't until the emperor disappeared that everyone left the hall.

Seeing the generals leaving with happy faces, the civil servants immediately gathered around Sima Lian.

"Prime Minister Sima, what's going on, Your Majesty? Why did you kill Mr. Wang so easily?"

It wasn't that they didn't want to remonstrate with the emperor, but they were frightened by the emperor's sudden move to kill people.

Their emperor had not been a butcher for many years, and now that he started killing people again, they all felt as if they had been separated from each other in a lifetime.

Sima Lian glanced at the guards and palace attendants standing guard outside the main hall door, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
