Queen Mother Zhou's questions became more and more sharp, pricking Mo Chuan with holes and leaving him breathless.
He breathed heavily, as if a big stone was pressed heavily on his chest, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.
Yes, everything Empress Dowager Zhou said was true. Although the South Vietnamese army was defeated in Yuezhou City this time, the happiness brought by this victory was only a short moment, and the heavy pressure was pressing on his shoulders like a boulder, making He felt overwhelmed.
This was his most difficult and torturous moment. He really hoped that Shen Ning could be by his side, give him strength and encourage him. He believed that she was resourceful and might come up with a way to solve this dilemma and crisis.
But she was not here, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
No one knows how tired and miserable he was during this time!
Suffering from lovesickness every day and night, burdened by national affairs, no one could talk to him, and no one could listen to him. He buried all the pain and suffering in his heart and endured it alone.
Now Empress Dowager Zhou's words were like a sharp thorn that suddenly pierced the strong shell he had disguised for a long time and pierced the weakest and most painful place in his heart.
"Mother, please stop talking!"
Mo Chuan finally burst out and shouted, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have only one sentence, I swear to live and die with Xi Chu! The country is alive and the people are alive, but the country will perish and everyone will perish!"
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her son with a disappointed expression on her face. She said coldly: "Listen to what you are saying! This is not like the king of a country. Jane is so majestic! The country is destroyed and the people are destroyed? You too I’m so embarrassed to say it!”
Mo Chuan gritted his teeth and stared at Queen Mother Zhou, but said nothing.
Empress Dowager Zhou continued: "What does your life mean? You are not afraid of death. Do you want hundreds of thousands of people from Western Chu to bury you with you? You want all the memorial tablets of our ancestors to be burned to the ground." Are you going to give up the inheritance that your ancestors have inherited? If you say this, are you still worthy of being named a descendant of the Chu family? "
Mo Chuan almost bit his lip, feeling a surge of passion in his chest.
"No! Never!" He gritted his teeth.
Empress Dowager Zhou nodded: "You are a bloody man, but if you want to keep the ancestral tablets and the foundation, you can't just touch your upper lip to your lower lip and talk. You have to take it. Come up with a practical way to protect the country and the country!"
"The practical way that the Queen Mother said is to marry the Northern Qi State, right?" Mo Chuan stared at the Queen Mother Zhou and said every word.
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at him calmly and said in a very calm tone: "Emperor, do you have a better way?"
Mo Chuan didn't answer, his chest heaved violently.
"Marriage has been the best way to quell wars since ancient times. It can prevent the people of the two countries from suffering from the war, promote trade between the two countries, and form a bond between the two countries for mutual benefit. This principle You should know better than the Queen Mother. Is it because of that woman that you refused to marry? "
"Erchen said that she is his wife forever! The mother is right, marriage is indeed the best way, but I already have a queen and will never marry another woman! This The queen mother should choose someone else for marriage!" Mo Chuan said without hesitation.
