Chapter 482: Was Zheng Zhuo once under the command of General Pingxi?



[What? At the beginning, the old general successfully persuaded Meng Songnian to leave the military camp...]

[Meng Songnian persuaded the old general to resign and go with him? ]

[The old general didn't agree? He had been in the military for many years, and was feared by the Nanchi Kingdom and Xiangshan Kingdom. His prestige in the army had been accumulated over the years, and even if he changed the commander, others could not easily replace him...]

[Even if he retires and returns home, regardless of whether the emperor agrees or not, the new generals will naturally be wary, and the soldiers will compare the new and old generals...]

【There is almost no doubt about getting rid of him. 】

[At that time, the old general did not tell Meng Songnian that he stayed in the military camp to deter the Nanchi Kingdom and the Xiangshan Kingdom, hoping to protect his soldiers more...]

【I didn’t expect...】

[The emperor's grandfather was incompetent and stupid, but even so, he did not dare to easily change the old general's position, because he knew the old general's usefulness very well...]

[At that time, some people made slanderous remarks, saying that the old general was too ambitious and forgetful, but my grandfather remained unmoved. He not only reprimanded the minister who made the slanderous remarks, but also rewarded the old general's family...]

[This is why the old general has always been loyal, even if the situation changes, he has never changed his mind...]

[The team I led was also loyal and brave...]

【Obviously...】

Jun Baozhu's voice sounded a little sad.

[My father was much stronger than my grandfather, but why did the old general die in my father's court? ]

[Or does it end in such a sloppy way? ]

The palace was silent except for the sound of the emperor's stifling breathing.

The queen looked at the emperor worriedly.

"Father..."

The prince spoke calmly, reminding the emperor to read the next name.

Jun Baozhu revealed several people one after another based on the system's information, and it turned out that these three people were now in Meng Songnian's team.

[In the past, I was only good at fighting, marching and deploying troops...]

[Now developing in multiple lines, including business operations, personnel management, resource allocation, information collection...]

[Whether assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, or the Ministry of War, he should be able to do the job. ]

[If he is re-employed, with his integrity, loyalty and ability, he will definitely bring a breath of fresh air to the Dafeng court! ]

The emperor's mood seemed to be affected by his daughter's words and improved a lot, and he went on to read out the next name.

Jun Baozhu's eyebrows, which had finally relaxed, began to frown again.

[Pingxi Army? ]

[Zheng Zhuo was once under the command of the general of the Pingxi Army? 】

[Still highly regarded? Why did he resign and go home? ]

[What? When you left the military camp, you were skinned alive? ]

[Back then, when Prince Cheng broke into the palace to save Concubine Liang, he brought not only his own soldiers but also more than half of the Pingxi Army? ]

[At that time, there was almost a turmoil in the west, and the Nanchi people were among them? ]

[Before General Pingxi mobilized his troops, Zheng Zhuo tried to dissuade him in every way, but gradually differences arose, and from then on, he began to think about retreating.]

[However, not all generals are like the old general of the Southern Army, who loves his subordinates. This Pingxi general, who holds the idea of "If you can't get it, it's better to destroy it", has long been wary of him. ]

[When Zheng Zhuo was handling military affairs and had a conflict with General Pingxi, he took the opportunity to ask to retire and return home. He was angrily rebuked by General Pingxi, but he did not let him go.]

[General Pingxi knew that although he had different political views from Zheng Zhuo, it would be very difficult to find another outstanding right-hand man like him...]

[Even if I don’t like it, I still can’t bear to give up. 】

[After several more conflicts, Zheng Zhuo's attitude became more obvious. Knowing that he was powerless to change it, General Pingxi pretended to agree to Zheng Zhuo's return home, but actually had someone set an ambush on the way.]

[The Pingxi Army was worried that the soldiers would not be able to take action, and they were even more worried that the news would leak out and affect their reputation. The Pingxi Army actually mobilized Prince Cheng's private soldiers.]

[General Pingxi knew that Zheng Zhuo was important in the Pingxi Army, but he underestimated the soldiers' reluctance to part with Zheng Zhuo...]

[After bidding farewell in the military camp, many soldiers covered for each other and silently followed him for a long distance...]

[It just so happened that they encountered Prince Cheng's assassination team. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Pingxi Army soldiers were defeated...]

[He used up his last breath to hold back Prince Cheng's private soldiers, allowing the seriously injured Zheng Zhuo to escape.]

[With Zheng Zhuo's character, he was not afraid of life or death, but he knew that if he stayed, it would only be one more body. Only by leaving would the sacrifices of his brothers be worthwhile.]

[Since then, Zheng Zhuo has kept his real name secret, and the Pingxi Army is not able to move around freely. The Prince Cheng’s Mansion sends a few people every year to travel around and investigate Zheng Zhuo’s whereabouts...]

【But all along, nothing was achieved. 】

Jun Baozhu sighed in her childish voice and asked:

[If Zheng Zhuo is given a chance now, would he be willing to come out? ]

[After all, the ones who had killed him were General Pingxi and Prince Cheng...]

[But the General of Pingxi, after all, was appointed by my father. And Prince Cheng was able to cover the sky with one hand, which was also a situation continued by the royal family. ]

Faced with these words, the emperor's expression was no longer as ugly as before.

After all, if you poke a lung tube, there will always be consequences.

After listening to it too much, I feel not only deep self-blame and powerlessness, but also numbness of pain.

The system continued to reveal information, and Jun Baozhu showed a serious expression.
