Chapter 541 The villain is the queen (58)
"What else does the General have to say?"
After all, he is Zhou Ye's father, and Hu Jun is willing to listen to what else this arrogant father can say.
Zhou Xiong did not speak, but silently put his hand into his sleeve, took out a bronze tiger-shaped jade pendant, held it in both hands and raised it high, lowered his proud head, almost prostrate, and spoke loudly every word.
"I am over sixty years old, and it is really difficult for me to be qualified for the position of general. Today I will return half of the tiger talisman in my hand to Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown, so that I can spend the rest of my life in peace!"
A man who has lived for more than sixty years has always been iron-clad and has never really knelt down on anyone's knees or bowed his head to anyone.
At the peak of his life, when everyone thought he was planning to rebel, the man knelt down and handed back all his trump cards.
Once the Tiger Talisman is handed over, all 500,000 soldiers and horses will be returned.
Without this talisman, it was equivalent to giving up all the power and status he had planned for his whole life.
When the world was in chaos, he licked blood from the knife edge again and again for his daughter. In the freezing cold border, he crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood countless times, crawled to the capital, and crawled to his daughter's side.
Now that the world is stable, he surrendered everything without reservation for his daughter. There is no longer a border king or a general in the world. There was no threat to the imperial power, there was no target for impeachment by the civil servants, and as Concubine Hui was the queen, there was no longer any obstacle.
As long as Ono gets what he wants, even if he is a woodcutter, he is content.
At this moment, the whole place was dead silent.
No one spoke, no one dared to speak.
Now he is a father, and no matter how many people dislike his arrogant and domineering style, no one can question his love for Concubine Hui.
Without the tiger talisman, the world will return to the royal family.
Hu Jun looked at him quietly, and after a moment of concentration, he spoke.
"The world is uncertain. It's too early for the general to retire and return home. How about retiring to the second position and becoming a staff officer?"
Zhou Xiong did not hesitate.
"Your Majesty needs ministers, and I should guard the borders for the world!"
The tiger talisman was still handed over, and the position of general was given up. Zhou Xiong continued to guard the border and served as a staff officer, and he was finally free. Now, no one will use this excuse to make excuses.
What a wolfish ambition, what a border king, hand over the tiger talisman, and everything disappears.
Zhou Xiong is decisive. As long as it is for Zhou Ye's good, he will be able to find the best solution as soon as possible. As for the decades of hard work, it doesn't matter.
Finally, he withdrew from the court, and no one spoke along the way.
As for Zhou Xiong, he still walked like a tiger, taking long strides, coming to the Taifu with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder.
"How about, come to my house for a drink?"
The Taifu glanced at him, his expression unclear.
"The general is really decisive."
"Haha, I am decisive in everything I do, even if I treat you to a drink."
"Forget it, I have something to do at home, so I'll say goodbye."
After speaking, the Taifu hurriedly walked out of the palace gate and got into his sedan chair. He looked forward, still sullen and with complicated thoughts.
Zhou Xiong resigned.
Even if Zhou Ye becomes the queen, she will not pose a threat to civil servants.
This is a good thing for him.
However, what does it mean to give up the Tiger Talisman for a junior position?
Survive by decapitating your head?
It's unreasonable and simply stupid.
The master sneered.
He is no longer a general, but he still dares to be so rude and unreasonable in his behavior.
There will be times when he regrets it in the future!
