Under the emperor’s cold gaze, all the officials lowered their eyes and did not dare to make a sound.

Only the Left Prime Minister, Wang Fuyue, stood up to explain his views on the current situation to the emperor.

In his opinion, the Great Zhou Empire was currently in a troubled period, and 80% of its rations and soldiers were focused on the war between Great Qin and Great Qi.

And if they wanted to destroy Northern Glacier Town, it would be very difficult with the current strength that the Great Zhou could mobilize,

Since the Northwest Star-Moon Troop had already become a force to be reckoned with, they could not be wiped out easily. Moreover, the leader, Li Yueming, had been assassinated by a mysterious assassin. Until today, it was still unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Then the court might as well put this matter aside for now.

He had sent the soldiers from the northwest back to guard the already dilapidated city.

He would temporarily avoid the sharp edge of Northern Ice River Town.

Li Ruxing only had a hundred thousand soldiers under his command. It was already a shocking feat to break through three extremely steep passes in one go. It was basically impossible to advance any further.

As a result, they would not cause damage to the Great Zhou Empire like Great Qin.

Combined with the above conditions, it seemed that as long as the Great Zhou strategically contracted, Northern Glacier Town and the Star Moon Army would not be able to find a place to vent their anger.

Then, when this force was relieved, perhaps Northern Ice River Town and the

Star Moon Army would collapse due to the struggle for power. At that time, the Great Zhou might be able to take down the entire Northern Ice River Town without spending a single soldier.

Even if they took ten thousand steps back, there was no power struggle or panic in Northern Ice River Town.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty finally caught its breath and stopped fighting Great Qin and Great Qi, it would have a great chance to deal with Northern Ice River Town.

Under such circumstances, if no one took the blame for this matter, how would the emperor deal with it?

Wang Fuyue didn’t think of this problem.

Perhaps he had thought of it, but he still stood up resolutely.

However, it didn’t matter whether he had thought of it or not.

Right Prime Minister Ge Hong had already grasped his weakness and attacked without hesitation.

He looked at the emperor lying on his side in the throne room and said in a

hoarse voice,’”‘Your Majesty, our Great Zhou lost this war for no reason. The three passes in the northwest did not even cause much damage to the enemy before they were already broken through. If there is no hidden story behind this, I will definitely not believe it...’

“Now that Northern Ice River Town is rebelling first, they actually want our Great Zhou to take the lead in lowering our heads and shaking hands with the rebel soldiers in the northwest. Once this kind of operation really happens and word gets out, will the Great Zhou still have the prestige of the country?”

“One of the six dynasties, an ancient inheritance that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years...Now, he was lowering his head like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little bastard. He would probably be laughed at by the other countries.”

“Moreover, I once heard that Prime Minister Wang had an engagement with the Li family in the past. Now that so many things have happened, Prime Minister Wang is actually still protecting Northern Ice River Town...Could it be that Prime Minister Wang was secretly contacting Northern Ice River Town?” Hearing this, all the officials in the meeting hall were shocked.

Listening to Ge Hong’s words, he completely wanted Wang Fuyue to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!

Everyone knew that the emperor was currently searching for the spies the Li family had planted in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, afraid that some heartless spies would appear behind his back.

Now, if Wang Fuyue’s words were a clear target, then Ge Hong was a soldier standing in front of the target and ready to fire. His fanning the flames had completely ignited the emperor’s suspicion and distrust.

Therefore, when he heard Ge Hong slandering his character and reputation like this.

Wang Fugui was so angry that he almost spat out three liters of blood on the spot. He could not help but widen his eyes and point at Ge Hong with a trembling hand..”You, you, you...You’re slandering me! This official has always

been loyal to the public and has never considered any petty matters. so how

could I possibly collude with Northern Ice River Town?”
