Chapter 44: Traitorous Minister 1 (2/2)



The system nodded.

"One last question, what will happen if you do this?"

The system was a little confused: "I don't know, but every time you and I pass through a world, I feel like I've established a connection with that world. It's not very obvious, but it makes me feel my existence... Host, do you understand what I mean?"

Fang Zhiyi muttered to himself, "The birth of Heaven's Way? Has it faded?"

"Host?"

"Come on, damn it, I've already boarded your pirate ship." Fang Zhiyi floated towards the vortex, "By the way, from now on, I'll just be with you, Xiao Hei."

“That doesn’t sound very nice.”

"You still picked it?"

As soon as Fang Zhiyi opened his eyes, the system couldn't wait to explain, much more diligently than before, as if to make up for its previous deception of Fang Zhiyi.

This world is ancient again, and Fang Zhiyi is the first great general in the history of the Wei Wu Dynasty.

But it's ridiculous that the emperor who promoted Fang Zhiyi was also the first incompetent emperor in the history of Wei Wu Dynasty. He ignored the affairs of state and loved to play hide-and-seek with concubines in the harem. He also liked to raise birds and fish, and sometimes write. His calligraphy was unique.

The reason why the emperor trusted Fang Zhiyi was that when the previous emperor passed away, many princes were eyeing the throne, and Fang Zhiyi was just a small captain of the guards at that time. However, he relied on this identity to ensure that the emperor ascended the throne. When the other princes mobilized their troops and returned to Beijing, they received the news that Emperor Shunying had ascended the throne. After Emperor Shunying ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Fang Zhiyi to the position of Nine Gates Admiral, and gave him the command of the Beijing Guards and the Imperial Guards.

Fang Zhiyi knew very well that if he let those people in, not only would Emperor Shunying die, but he himself would also die. So he went to the city gate in person to persuade them to surrender, but the other party refused. So the siege lasted for more than a month. It must be said that Emperor Shunying was lucky. Plague broke out in the army besieging the city, and then many soldiers fled. The fight for the throne gradually came to an end.

Fang Zhiyi reported this to the emperor, who was overjoyed and promoted him.

In theory, there was no problem with this plan, but the subsequent events brought the entire Weiwu Kingdom to its doom.

After Emperor Shunying ascended the throne, he pretended to be powerful for a while, but his true colors were soon exposed. He handed over the government affairs to the Imperial Supervisor and gave all the army to Fang Zhiyi, whom he trusted the most, and conferred the title of Duke on him. He then spent his days thinking about eating and playing.

Fang Zhiyi was very happy. After all, the emperor trusted him. As a powerful man, he didn't care about so many things. Instead, he collected a salary without doing any work, showed off his power, and even formed a clique with the eunuchs and started a fight with the factions of the civil officials in the court.

If the court is like this, how can the people be better?

Peasant uprisings broke out in many places, but Wei Wu's army was already corrupt and could not even suppress them effectively. Soon 300,000 rebels surrounded the capital. Fang Zhiyi had the capital guards and the imperial guards and was capable of fighting, but after receiving a letter from the rebels, Fang Zhiyi wavered.

The letter detailed the various stupidities of Emperor Shunying, the sufferings of the people, and the corruption of officials. They knew that Fang Zhiyi was talented, but he could not have won the original defense of the capital. The rebels hoped that Fang Zhiyi would stop resisting. If he opened the city and surrendered, he could still become a founding hero of the new dynasty and create a better prosperous era.

Fang Zhiyi was tempted, so he opened the city and surrendered.

Emperor Shunying was hanged in the imperial garden by the rebels. The rebels did not touch Fang Zhiyi and gave him a title, allowing him to continue to be a duke. However, Fang Zhiyi would dream every night of the day when the rebels broke into the palace, with palace maids and eunuchs dying in miserable states everywhere, and Emperor Shunying being forced to hang himself, waiting for himself to save him before he died.

Fang Zhiyi died and was found hanged in his study.

"What a genius." Fang Zhiyi opened his eyes.
