It wasn't until then that everyone realized what was happening.
When the news reached the capital, the entire court was shocked, and ministers petitioned the emperor, demanding that Zhang Deren be punished.
Xiao Chenyi then produced the agreement signed with Bei Li, under which Bei Li would govern Mo Han for a hundred years, promising not to invade Da Chu within that period, and the two countries would not wage war for a hundred years.
Xiao Chen also said in court with great sorrow that he could not bear to see the long-standing war between Great Chu and Northern Li, nor could he bear to see the people of Da Meng harassed by Northern Li. That was why he made this decision to ensure the stability of Great Chu for a hundred years.
He knew he would be condemned for making this decision, but for the sake of the people of Great Chu, what did it matter if he was criticized?
Xiao Chenyi's righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor also shocked many court officials.
After careful consideration, some court officials felt that Xiao Chenyi's words made some sense.
To put it bluntly, Mo Han is actually a remote and wild land in the Great Chu, with neither abundant resources nor minerals. Even if it were given to Bei Li, it wouldn't have much impact on the Great Chu, let alone being managed on its behalf.
A hundred years from now, Mo Han will still belong to Da Chu. If this can be exchanged for a hundred years of peace between the two countries, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
A hundred years later, they will all be gone. What will become of Bei Li and Da Chu? Why should they worry about it?
Now that we are living in peace with Bei Li, we don't have to worry about facing that legendary, terrifying mutated monster one day.
Thus, a dispute arose in the Great Chu court. Some were adamant that not an inch of territory should be ceded, while others felt that temporarily giving up the useless Mo Han in exchange for a century of peace was not bad.
Of course, many of those who support Xiao Chenyi's decision are people he has recently promoted.
Finally, Prime Minister Xu concluded the debate with the statement, "We will wait for the Regent to return and make a decision."
Although the Regent had relinquished power to the Emperor, Xu Cheng did not believe that the Regent would agree to give up Mo Han.
Xiao Chenyi did not object to Prime Minister Xu's proposal, as he knew that Xiao Yanchu would not agree to the decision.
But he also knew that Xiao Yanchu would definitely not be able to return to the Great Chu this time.
Why should he care about a dead man who can't come back?
Once news of Xiao Yanchu's death reached him, he wanted to see who in the court would dare to oppose his decision.
Anyone who dares to oppose us, just kill them.
Xiao Yanchu put away the letter and said to Hu Qing, "Go tell Yue Ling and the others that we can take action now. You and I will go find someone."
"yes!"

Since Chen Fu's death, Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin have done nothing but stroll around Jingqiang City and return to the palace, which has relieved the Northern Li King.
He arrived at Lin Wanqing's palace.
"Your Majesty, how are things on your end?"
"Your Majesty, Gao Hongyuan has already administered the poison to Su Ruojin. Everything depends on their return to the Great Chu territory. By then, Su Ruojin should be suffering from the effects of the poison," Lin Wanqing replied.
"Your Majesty, do you know what will happen to you if we fail this time?" Wanyan Da looked coldly at Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing nodded, "I know that, so I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to personally escort Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin to Mohan with the Brave King. I must see Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu die with my own eyes."
Having plotted for so long, how could she be content without witnessing Su Ruojin's death?
Moreover, she still needs to find a way to bring Xiao Yanchu back, so it's best for him to stay with the group.
Lin Wanqing's words were also a message to the Northern Li King that he could send Fei Molong to monitor her, and if that failed, Fei Molong could take over the punishment of her in the Northern Li King's place.
Qin Wang was the most trusted person of the Northern King, and next was Fei Molong.
With Fei Molong by her side, the Northern King wouldn't be afraid of her running away.
Having been by the side of the Northern Li King for so long, how could Lin Wanqing not know that the Northern Li King was a suspicious man? Even though she kept giving him advice, he never fully trusted her.
She wasn't angry, since she was just using the Northern King anyway.
It's a relationship of mutual exploitation, so there's no question of trust or distrust.
After Qin Buyu killed Qin Wang, he hid their bodies. At this time, no one in Jingqiang knew that Qin Wang had died.
King Bei Li only thought that Qin Buyu had not yet returned from chasing Qin. Since Qin was not present, there was indeed no better candidate than Fei Molong.
After a moment of contemplation, the King of Beili finally looked up at Lin Wanqing and said, "I will do as Your Majesty wishes. I hope Your Majesty will not disappoint me."
