The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Seeing the commotion in the field, even Emperor Wu of Zhou pinched his nose with a headache.

"Little prodigal, you are really good at making trouble. You have done so well. I don't know how to say you..."

To be honest, before sending Chu Tianxiao into Zhao territory, even Emperor Zhou himself never thought that he could do this. The expected goal was just to hope that he would assist Ying Luxian in destroying the barbarians and teach Zhao a little lesson, so that they could see the strength of the younger generation of the Great Zhou, and thus warn them not to be so arrogant at the negotiation table!

Yes, according to Emperor Zhou's original plan, Chu Tianxiao's entry into the barbarian land was to slap Emperor Zhao in the face and prove to the world that the Great Zhou could also be a hero in his youth...

What was the result?

This little prodigal even took down the capital of Zhao! This is not a slap in the face, this is simply pulling him up and spinning back and forth!

This headwind is really a bit strong.

Even Emperor Zhou was caught off guard.

At this moment, he had a vague idea in his heart, that is, if there was no such thing as exterminating the demon, he would definitely go against the public opinion and keep Chu Tianxiao in Zhao, letting him mess around. Maybe after a few years, Zhao would be destroyed by him...

But at this moment, it is not possible.

It is not that Emperor Zhou does not have the courage, but the timing is not right.

"Exterminating the demon is the most important thing, and it is time for the government and the people to be united."

Emperor Zhou never doubted that Chu Tianxiao would have a different heart, but as a king, he knew how to weigh the pros and cons. At the moment, keeping Chu Tianxiao in Zhao was indeed too much right and wrong...

It is also difficult to stop the gossip.

It is more difficult to prevent the people from speaking than to prevent the river from speaking. The people's words are bright and the accumulated criticisms are destructive...Emperor Zhou understood these principles long before he ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is like this. No matter whether the Prince of Chu has other thoughts or not, he should not be allowed to stay in Zhao. Or, please ask him to return to the capital."

When an old man spoke, Emperor Zhou was about to speak, but an urgent report suddenly came from outside!

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Zhao!"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes: "Present it."

"Yes!"

After this, a soldier came forward and knelt on one knee, holding a jade slip in his hand. Emperor Zhou grabbed it and took a look at the contents... Then in the blink of an eye, his expression became very strange, first slightly surprised, then admiring, and finally amusement...

This change in expression was only a moment, and soon, Emperor Zhou chuckled and said: "My dear ministers, there is no need to argue. I have made up my mind to let that little prodigal son play in Zhao. When he has had enough fun, he will return to Beijing and reward him."

After these words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar, and several people quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you can't!"

"Your Majesty, you must not let Chu Tianxiao stay in Zhao!"

"Even if you don't take away his military power, at least you can't let him continue to develop!"

These words intertwined, and there was a lot of noise. At this moment, the Prime Minister Wu, who was dressed like a scholar and looked out of place in the court, stood up. He held a jade tablet in his hand and said calmly, "Your Majesty, have you received any news?"

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou looked at Prime Minister Wu deeply, then smiled and said, "Yes."

After that, he handed the jade slip in his hand to the eunuch Gao Weng who was standing beside him, "Gao Weng, read it to the ministers... Well, just read the key part directly."

"Yes." Gao Weng agreed, then opened the jade slip and read out its contents...

"...I heard that your Majesty's beloved daughter, Princess Tianmei's birthday is coming soon, so we will change the name of the conquered 'Zhaodu' to 'Tianmei' as a gift to wish the princess a happy birthday. From now on, there will be no Zhaodu in the world..."

After these words fell, the room suddenly... became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's face was full of surprise, even Wu Xiang, his eyes narrowed slightly, a gleam of light flashed across his face...

It should be noted that according to the rules of the "Breaking the Barbarian Order", everyone who voluntarily joins the barbarians has the right to form a private army - whether to surrender the military power later is another matter, but at that time, they can use this army to conquer their own territory... In other words, since the capital of Zhao has been conquered by Chu Tianxiao, then regardless of emotion and reason, this city should belong to him...

Let's not talk about other things, but this honor, no one can deprive him!

Yes, this is honor, and because no one in the Great Zhou has ever taken the enemy's capital as private property, this is also a unique honor!

It is a miracle that cannot be replicated.

Anyone who has such a miracle and honor should not be carefully protected and cherished? But what about Chu Tianxiao? He actually didn't want to hold this honor in his hands at all, but... without blinking, he gave this prosperous enemy capital to Princess Tianmei?

The words in the jade slip were full of casual tones, without any pride or credit?

It was as if he had given a flower, a piece of candy, an ordinary gift...

Is this a birthday gift?

No one in the room was stupid.

"This is simply a betrothal gift!"

"...I don't believe it. This is just a birthday gift. Who would give a gift like this? What a joke! That's the capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom! Even if it's a betrothal gift, it's...too heavy!"

"...How much tax can a city get every year? How many soldiers can it support? How much reputation can it accumulate? Even if he has heard of Chu's reputation as a spendthrift, he can't be so wasteful, right? Not to mention, that is the capital of the enemy country. After years of management by Emperor Zhao, it is an existence that is superior to the first-class big city! But he didn't even blink, and just... gave it away?"

"This is definitely a betrothal gift! Absolutely!"

"Alas... Why doesn't my daughter have such a good life as Princess Tianmei..."

The smarter the person, the more he will take it for granted that the so-called "gift on auspicious day" is just an excuse. This... is actually Chu Tianxiao's way of proposing marriage to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

And you know what, the whole thing looks like... it's just like that!

The young man went into the barbarian land in plain clothes, collected three thousand defeated soldiers, rushed thousands of miles to capture the enemy's capital, changed his name to Tianmei, and presented it to the princess as a betrothal gift...

In modern terms, it means... Do you dare to be more romantic?

When this statement is made into a story and widely circulated... what effect will those rumors, slander, and heart-breaking words have?

By then, I'm afraid that all the young girls in Shenzhou will envy Princess Tianmei, and all the good men who are determined to get married will take Chu Tianxiao as an example...

No one will believe those rumors anymore.

The people will only sing praises of this legend and pass it on...

All the criticisms against Chu Tianxiao entering Zhao and staying in Zhao will be refuted after this!

"... Chu's methods of ruining the family are simply terrible..."

"Yes, but who could have thought of it? He didn't even care about the enemy's capital and gave it away as soon as he said so. I dare to ask if this is something that people can think of?"
