Envoy… The river burst its banks…
These two things together are not a good thing.
Although the eldest prince and his stepfather announced to the outside world that they had won a great victory, the price they paid behind the scenes must have been heavy.
Two countries that were originally evenly matched, suddenly one of them becomes increasingly powerful, and then defeats the other as if opening up its Ren and Du meridians. It is easy to imagine that this kind of thing is unlikely to happen.
The bursting of the Yuan River’s dike is a matter of great importance and will certainly consume a great deal of manpower and material resources. If the envoys discover any signs of weakness in the Great Zhou during their visit, they may come back again after returning. By then, the Great Zhou will be in danger due to internal and external troubles.
This can be seen from the sudden change in the atmosphere in the palace.
Ever since Ye Shuo was born, the palace has never been so tense.
The palace servants, who had originally seemed relatively relaxed, were now in a hurry. Apart from their master’s orders, they refused to say a single word, fearing that saying the wrong thing would bring disaster upon themselves.
