In her previous life, her parents died in an accident and her brother was left disabled, making Zhou Zhi live a wretched existence. Starting over in this life, with both her parents alive and her b...
Xu Di's voice rose considerably as he gritted his teeth and said, "He only wants the people of our Great Liang Dynasty to follow him because of his own selfish desires. What right does he have? To achieve his goals, he colluded with foreign tribes. The border wars were all started because of his selfish desires. So many people died in the wars, so many lives were lost, yet he considered them nothing. Such a traitor, such a national thief, deserves to be killed by everyone."
Xu Zhi looked at her emotionally agitated brother with some helplessness. In all the years she had been with him, this was the first time she had ever seen him so excited. At first, Xu Zhi was a little scared, but later she felt a little sorry for him. Her brother, when he was very young, in order to help the people produce more grain and to help them grow more crops, went to sea with his uncle to find seeds in faraway places when he was only ten years old. He tried to plant each seed he found.
Xu Zhi still remembers when they were in Hexi, Xu Di had a carpenter make several large wooden boxes for the seeds, planting each seed one by one inside. He would also keep a notebook to record the changes in the seeds every day. At first, Xu Zhi didn't understand Xu Di's actions. But after so many years, Xu Zhi slowly realized that her brother was truly a person with the world in his heart. Everything he did was for the people to have enough to eat and for them to live a better life.
Xu Zhi patted Xu Di's back with great concern. Xu Di, his eyes red, said to Xu Zhi, "I actually harbor some resentment towards His Majesty. I can't deny that he is a good emperor, but he is not a good father. In order to be what he considered a good father, he easily forgave several sons who betrayed the country, which allowed them to repeatedly harm the people for their own selfish reasons. Even now, those princes still associate with that Military Advisor An. They only see the boundless glory of sitting on that throne, but they don't know what one is supposed to do for the people while sitting in that position."
Xu Zhi took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Di, saying, "Brother, don't worry or be sad. Since he is a traitor, he will eventually pay the price for his actions."
