Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.
After hearing this, Zhang Yu's face became heavy and he nodded slightly.
Although we have been preparing and planning for a long time, when we actually start, no one knows what will happen. Nothing is 100% successful. If it fails, it will be troublesome.
Looking up at Song Xiang, Zhang Yu said, "If we fail this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to return. Even if Your Majesty doesn't blame me, I won't be able to see you again."
"Let me show you." Song Xiang handed a secret letter to Zhang Yu and said,
"What is this?" Zhang Yu was stunned and said hesitantly.
"It's a secret letter from His Majesty," Song Xiang said with a smile. "His Majesty has already said in the letter that he knows you're arrogant and might commit suicide if the conspiracy fails. His Majesty said you don't have to do that. Nothing in this world can be successfully planned the first time. Victory and defeat are common in the military, so just start over. His Majesty is telling you that if you fail, you'll be sent directly to Liaodong or the Ming Navy to try again with your troops."
Zhang Yu's face flushed red and he quickly took the letter.
As he watched, Zhang Yu's eyes turned red and his nose started to feel sore.
As his fingers stroked the imperial seal on the paper, Zhang Yu's tears flowed down.
Without any hesitation, holding the letter in his hand, Zhang Yu kowtowed respectfully in the direction of the capital, and his expression gradually became resolute.
Song Xiang stood aside and looked at Zhang Yu, her eyes slightly narrowed and she said nothing, but the smile on her face did not disappear.
It is an honor for a subject to be valued and cared for so much by the king while in a foreign country.
A gentleman will die for his friend. Your Majesty cares so much about us two, what else can we say?
Zhang Yu stood up and carefully folded the emperor's secret letter. He placed the precious letter in his arms and said with a resolute look, "I will review the plan again. I absolutely cannot let His Majesty down. This time, I must succeed in one fell swoop!"
