1302 Arrangement for Lord Huai

Neither of them believed that there was anything wrong with it. So they headed out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion and went straight into the court.

Junyi normally followed him to Zhuque Gate and waited outside. He was not qualified enough to go with Zhou Huailing shoulder to shoulder. He could only stay with the servants of the other officers. Junyi was very arrogant, and he barely had any interest in staying with those servants. Also, when he stayed outside the gate, he could hear some useful information.

In the court. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

All officers and ministers were present.

The war was going on in the Saint Divine Land, so no officers or ministers dared to be late, fearing that they would be blamed. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

When the officers and ministers were all there… the King came to the court early as well.

He already learned the news from the border and could not fall asleep. He had been pondering over strategies since morning. So he started the session very early since everyone was present.

He did not start any small talk. Instead, the King said straightforwardly, “The news from the border said that we lost Ning County, and our army has retreated to Xinzhou. Duke North is seriously injured and he is now under medical treatment in Xinzhou. We lack a chief at Xinzhou. Say, what should we do?”

All of the officers let out a sigh.

It was a huge issue regarding who should be arranged to take over the position.

The military officers were all gone and those who were at the morning sessions were either too old or low in position. They could not just become the general in chief.

So they could only pick one from the office ministers, but that was a huge issue!

No one dared to be the first one to say something.

Those who used to be capable in the court were all off the stage, and those that remained were all those that hoped to remain safe.

They all turned to Zhou Huailing, but Zhou Huailing was distracted and not in the mood to say a thing.

The officer of Ministry of Architecture stepped forward and suggested. “King, what about sending Lord Huai there. He used to have the idea of going there, and he has always been very active in doing tasks for the country. As far as I remember, back at Spring Hunt, he even hunted a serpent, so I think that he should have some abilities too. Lord Huai should be the best candidate, I believe.”

Hearing that the others added. “True, Lord Huai is the best candidate. He has a high rank and he has knowledge too.”

The King was frowning.

For him, that was not the best choice, but as he glanced about, he did not think anyone else would suit it either.

Those officers were right. Lord Huai was high in rank.

He could take the mission. All he needed to do was to do something to keep the situation at bay.

The King looked at the Crown Prince before making a decision.

Seeing that the Crown Prince had no reaction, he nodded.

Without any more hesitation, the King said resolutely, “Then Lord Huai, you should go to Xinzhou. What do you think about it, Lord Huai?”

The King asked him that, not to hear his opinion, but to hear his response.

Zhou Huaijin had not said a thing while he was there, until this errand fell upon his head and until the King asked him personally about this.
