Two days later.
"Report! The commanders of all the armies are gone!" The personal guards were sweating profusely, and they didn't understand what had happened to the general recently. They kept seeing him twisting and turning in the yard, and laughing from time to time with his hands on his hips.
"Send them all in!"
“Here!”
Soon the yard was filled with people, and from time to time people were greeting each other.
"Wang Cai! Long time no see."
"Li Gou! Hahahaha, you look pretty smart in this outfit!"
"Keep your voice down. I heard the old general passed away."
"What?!"
The courtyard suddenly fell silent. Dozens of commanders had different expressions. Only a few military governors standing in the front were talking in low voices.
"Ahem." Fang Zhiyi walked out slowly in plain white.
"Your subordinates are here to see the young general!" Dozens of people said in unison. They were used to calling General Fang the general and had always called Fang Zhiyi the young general.
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand and looked at the sky with a distraught look. After a long while, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
The yard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"My father is dead."
Those who were skeptical just now were now extremely surprised.
"General!" Many people knelt down and cried bitterly. They were all soldiers who had followed General Fang to charge into battle and kill the enemy since they joined the army.
Fang Zhiyi was still brewing his emotions, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the group of people: "Many of you are older than me by several years, so I should call you uncles." This was true, he had just entered the military camp, and these people were sitting with his father drinking and eating meat.
"Two days ago, I encountered a difficult situation and I really couldn't make up my mind, so I would like to ask you to help me think about it." As he said this, Fang Zhiyi pretended to kneel, and several Jiedushi who were nearby immediately rushed forward to hold him up.
"Absolutely not, little general!"
"Yes! Just tell me what you want to say. In terms of rank, you are our superior, and in terms of age, we are your elders. Most of us here were brought up by veteran generals. Little General, feel free to tell me what you want to say!"
Fang Zhiyi squeezed out another tear: "There is a secret report saying that my father was poisoned by the emperor." He raised a thin piece of paper in his hand. For this secret letter, he practiced writing with his left hand for more than a day.
But no one came forward to check, instead they all looked at him in shock.
"It's over. It was written in vain." Fang Zhiyi thought to himself, but did not show it on his face. "The one who poisoned my father was my aunt in the mansion, and the one who instructed him behind the scenes was the Minister of Revenue Liu Wenhui! That was my aunt's biological father and also the emperor's confidant!" This was not slander, because you could tell with a little thought, who would be so bold as to poison a duke?
The yard was filled with the sound of heavy breathing.
"Now I have received a letter from home asking me to go. I am afraid that I will never come back, and I will not be able to avenge my father, let alone protect you old subordinates." Fang Zhiyi deliberately emphasized the word "old subordinates". You know, as long as the General Zhenbei is replaced, most of these old subordinates of the Fang family will be eliminated. If you want people to follow you, it is not enough to rely on friendship alone, but also to bind them together with interests.
One person suddenly stood up and said, "Fuck him! We were guarding the border for him, and he turned around and attacked the heroes!"
"Brothers! Let's go to the capital with the young general and ask the emperor for an explanation!"
"good!"
"Stop!" A Jiedushi waved his hand to stop them. "Follow us to the capital? What about the border? What if the barbarians attack? If so many of us go to the capital, aren't you afraid that the emperor will accuse the young general of rebellion?"
Fang Zhiyi looked at the Jiedushi in front of him. These five people were all his father's confidants, and he had to call them uncles in private. When Yuan Yu was about to leave, these people also raised doubts, but they were all preoccupied with attending the funeral and the time-traveling woman, so Yuan Yu didn't listen.
