There was still deathly silence in the hall.

Everyone knows that the army is now an empty shell.

But who dares to take the initiative to say "cede the Heshuo Plain" at this time?

This is a traitor charge that will lead to eternal infamy.

Whoever said it took the initiative to hand the empress a knife hanging above her head. From now on, the spittle of Yushitai can drown people.

Yan Fu lowered his head and retreated into the queue. Gu Yannian also quietly shrank back, remaining silent as well.

In this suffocating silence, Shangguan Xiao's eyes suddenly fell on a corner.

There stood a young official, picking his nails out of boredom.

It was Zhao Zhiwu, a member of the household department and a censor in the palace.

Shangguan Xiao's heart moved slightly and he suddenly spoke.

"Zhao Zhiwu and Zhao Aiqing."

Zhao Zhiwu was shocked when his name was suddenly called, he quickly retracted his hand and strode out.

"Wei Chen is here!"

Not only was there no trace of panic on Zhao Zhiwu's face, but there was a hint of excitement on his face.

He had been waiting for this moment all night.

He had already memorized the words that Gu Huai taught him last night in his mind.

"Zhao Zhiwu, you are one of the deputy envoys receiving the mission this time."

Shangguan Xiao looked at him and asked slowly.

"What do you think about Dang Xiang's request for Heshuo Plain?"

Zhao Zhiwu puffed up his chest and took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we must not only give to the Heshuo Plain, but we must give it to you heartily!"

Zhao Zhiwu's voice was extremely loud, buzzing in the hall.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like dropping a huge boulder into the calm lake.

The entire Daming Palace exploded instantly.

"Presumptuous!"

Yan Fu turned around suddenly, pointed at Zhao Zhiwu's nose and shouted angrily.

"How dare Shu Zian speak nonsense here!"

"To cede territory and seek peace is an act of losing power and humiliating the country. You, the Zhao family, are also the princes of the country after all. How could there be such a cowardly and incompetent person like you!"

Youxiao Weilang General Yan Teng also took a step forward, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Zhao Zhiwu, you are traitorous!"

"My soldiers from the northwest bled and died on the front line, but you just said, 'It's a pleasure' in the court hall. Are you worthy of those dead brothers?"
