What kind of joke was this? The real Fu Hao ht have been souise of Fu Hao right now, and she was just a young lady! In fact, she had just been under hio—how could she tolerate the trauh, this trial was really strange He didn’t know ed to wipe out the Shang Dynasty’s entire army Wouldn’t it be suicide to send Pei Mianht a war before?
Fu Shuo tried to persuade hi, I know you care a lot about the queen, but now isn’t the time to act i before, which shows that she is , you do not need to worry”
Zu An did not like this idea at all He couldn’t just explain as really going on to Fu Shuo
Seeing that he had not yet co, we are at a critical moment of life and death! If either your uncles or cousins were to lead the troops, your position as king will begin to crumble once they return victorious!”
Zu An froze “Why is that?”
A hint of uncertainty flashed across Fu Shuo’s face when he heard this question “In our Shang State, one of the king’s brothers succeeds hi passes, his brother will take the throne, and so on and so forth Only in a few situations will the throne be passed on to the king’s son
“In the past, Pan Geng moved to Yin Capital, and when he passed on, his throne was passed on to his younger brother, Xiao Xin When Xiao Xin died, the throne was passed onto his brother, Xiao Yi, who is your father In theory, he should have passed on the throne to his younger brother or one of their older sons, yet he gave it to you, his own son The rest of his brothers were obviously unhappy with this, and tried to usurp the throne If we allow thoseFaction, their prestige will rise sharply My king, hoill you deal with that, then? I kno much you treasure the queen, but if your throne is seized, you won’t have the strength to protect her
“If this subjectOnce you fall from power, many may start to covet her Once that happens, it will be too late for regrets”
His careful explanation was all Zu An needed to understand the situation This Fu Shuo was truly worthy of his status as a renowned ancient statesed to dissect the situation so clearly, which ly co or Fu Hao, it h to convince them Unfortunately, they were both complete fakes
He was just about to think of a way to refute hio”
“Manman!” Zu An was shocked He never expected her to volunteer herself like that
Fu Shuo was confused Why did the king address the queen as such? In the end, he assuiven her, and dismissed the matter
Pei Mianh voice transmission, “Ah Zu, I know you are worried about ht see in this palace, but it will only a for a slow death Once the opportunity passes us by, the situation will be beyond saving
“This Fu Shuo is clearly sent by this trial to give us the information we need I believe we can trust what he says If I do not command the troops, there will only be two possible outco to the destruction of the Shang State, or your uncles and cousins will defeat the Qiang Faction and then seize your throne… Regardless of which one it is, ill definitely fail this trial”
Zu An frowned “But leading troops is just way too dangerous! You don’t have any experience in this field, so everything points to disaster if you head out”
Pei Mianman smiled sweetly “Please do not treat hter I’ve faced all sorts of difficulties on the road to my current cultivation I’ve even been to an army camp before…”
Zu An was shocked “You served as a soldier before?”
He recalled the story of Mulan, a woman who had dressed up as a man to join the army When his eyes landed on her chest, however, he iht There was no way she could pull that off!
“I was never a soldier, but I’ve been to an army camp, and I knoay around” Pei Mianman smiled “The Pei clan is a powerful clan in the Zhou Dynasty, after all We have some influence in the military”
