However, they managed to leave the pass twice during this period, and each time it was because of one person.
Today, while they were in seclusion, they suddenly sensed a change in the world. They were all terrified, as if the will of heaven and earth had descended upon them. They initially thought it was their chance, but when they came out, they heard their families report that it was Prince Yi and others leading troops to besiege the Jiang family. Just then, Zu An returned.
The situation suddenly turned into Zu'an alone surrounding Yi Wang's thousands of troops.
Recalling the scene the other party had caused last time, the group exchanged thoughts and decided to come and see for themselves, to uphold the dignity of the empire and their Eight Dukes.
The closer they got, the more shocked they became. The will of heaven and earth that had awakened them seemed to be nearby. Everyone searched around in surprise and doubt, and finally their eyes fell on Zu'an.
They exchanged glances, finally realizing it wasn't their imagination, and were all horrified.
Has Zuan resonated with the will of heaven and earth?
What kind of realm is this?
You know, even Zhao Hao didn't seem to have reached this level back then.
So one by one, they naturally abandoned their idea of upholding Hachiko's dignity and showed kind smiles on their faces: "So it's the Regent who has returned."
"You've all come all this way just to plead for him?" Zu An said calmly.
The five men looked somewhat embarrassed, with so many people watching.
However, they all knew from the incident with the Meng family that this guy was only responsive to threats and not to force. If they threatened him to let Prince Yi go, the other party would definitely not give them any face.
So they appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them:
"Zhao Huang offended the Regent, and his current predicament is well-deserved."
"Zhao Huang, have you lost your mind? How dare you offend the Regent?"
"What are you doing bringing so many troops to the capital? Are you planning a rebellion?"
...
Hearing their cacophony of reprimands, Prince Yi knelt on the ground, almost in tears. He was waiting for them to stand up for him, but instead, they all said it was his fault without even asking what happened.
At this moment, Grand Tutor Zhuang He said, "However, Zhao Huang is, after all, a member of the royal family and has always had some prestige. Killing him would shake the foundation of the country."
The mere Zhao Huang was of no concern to the Eighth Prince, but they still cared about the face of the royal family.
In particular, not long ago Zu'an killed a prince in the capital and then suppressed and killed the Meng family and even the two Eighth Princes.
The last incident had barely subsided when things calmed down. The killing of a prince could be explained since it happened within the palace. But if a prince and two members of the royal family were killed in front of thousands of troops, the people's hearts would be unsettled and the country would be unstable.
