Kapitel 377: The Known Person Comes in the Wind and Snow

Once the royal decree had been announced, it caused many discussions.

Once the son of King Jing came to the capital, he would be unable to leave. Was he to be held as a hostage?

The issue was that it was almost impossible for Cangzhou to agree to send the son of King Jing to the capital. If the decree were declined, would the inner war of Chu State ensue?

What was the Emperor thinking? Was it the idea of Grand Scholar Zhang and other chancellors? Otherwise, how could this decree get out of the palace? Many people who believed in conspiracy theories thought of other possibilities: Had the slow emperor come to his senses and refuse to be a puppet anymore, and that's why he intended to import some forces from the outside to ensure his safety?

The conjecture were spreading in the capital, like the yellow leaves falling from the trees.

As time passed and the weather grew colder, no action was taken in Cangzhou. People became more and more restless.
