The three of them were at a loss. Finally, Han Yulou took the lead in comforting them, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't cry."
"It's all because of your incompetence, and it's all because of the incompetence of the generals. If it weren't for us damn incompetent people, Your Majesty would never have ended up like this."
"Your Majesty has been wronged this year."
Zhao Min sobbed and said, "No, Zhang Wuji has never wronged me in the past year. He has always been very nice to me."
"I just feel sorry for you now. We agreed to make a comeback in the future, but now I have a child after all. Besides, Zhang Wuji is very good to me. I don't want to stab him in the back anymore."
Zhao Min had said this, what else could the three people present say?
Wang Baobao said: "Your Majesty, I know better than anyone that the Yuan Dynasty is unpopular. In my early years, I fought in Jiangnan, and I know exactly what we Yuan people did to the Han people."
"Perhaps the Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty that should not have appeared. This dynasty seemed to have brought nothing except killing."
"Since Your Majesty has said that he does not want to restore the country, then let's not make any more trouble."
"There's nothing wrong with living an honest life."
After Wang Baobao finished speaking, Duan Zihao also said: "Well, I have struggled for half my life and achieved nothing. Fortunately, I have become a general, so it's not a loss."
"There's nothing wrong with just spending the rest of my life like this."
As for Han Yulou, his current thoughts were even simpler: "Your Majesty, this old slave's bones can only last a few more days."
"From now on, I will follow you."
…
What Zhao Min said just now was all from the heart, but what she said next was the most tense moment for her.
Women are fickle, especially those who have given birth.
Zhao Min's heart now belongs to Zhang Wuji, so leading troops south is the main purpose of her trip.
But there were some things she couldn't say at this moment.
Putting aside Han Yulou for now, Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao, after all, are people who have worked for the Yuan court all their lives.
Now that the Yuan court has collapsed, Zhao Min has not expected that the two of them will not rebel. If she wants them to lead the troops south to help Zhang Wuji, it may be difficult.
However, as long as the two of them were willing to lead the troops south, as for Han Yulou, Zhao Min would at most shed a few tears, and his master would definitely follow him until death.
…
After thinking for a while, Zhao Min said, "Master, two generals, I came to Zhigu Village this time just to see you all."
"After all, I am now Zhang Wuji's woman. The Han people often say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since I am already a wife, I certainly cannot watch Xiao Min'er's father fighting alone on the battlefield."
"In a few days, I will go to find Zhang Wuji."
"For my personal reasons, I have to help him no matter what."
"After this farewell, I don't know if we will have the chance to see each other again in the future. I hope you take care of yourself."
…
When Zhao Min finished saying these words, her heart was in her throat.
In the past, Zhao Min never hoped that the generals under her command could do anything for her, but now, she really hopes that Duan Zihao and Wang Baobao can help her for the sake of the roasted leg of lamb.
…
Silence, deathly silence.
Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao are not fools. When Zhao Min returned to Zhigu Village this time, she even brought military pay and food. What she said now was clearly a test of her attitude.
Duan Zihao thought to himself, "After going through this, this empress has become more shrewd and has finally learned how to beat around the bush."
However, at this moment, Duan Zihao still likes the straightforward empress. Even if she no longer has the same value as before, so what? Everyone has unhappy times.
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Zihao spoke to Zhao Min first and said, "Your Majesty, my ancestral home is in Dali, and I am not a Mongolian. I want to make it clear in advance that the one I defected to was not the Yuan Dynasty, but you, Your Majesty."
"Although the Yuan Dynasty is no longer there, you are still here. Duan Zihao is willing to continue to follow Your Majesty."
"If Your Majesty does not forsake me, I will return to the army and gather some soldiers who are also willing to follow Your Majesty. Isn't that just going south to help Zhang Wuji? I don't have any psychological burden anyway."
…
Han Yulou doesn't need to express his opinion, Duan Zihao has already expressed it, and the remaining person is Wang Baobao.
Although Wang Baobao is a military general, he is not a fool. How could he not think of what Duan Zihao could think of?
Wang Baobao quickly said: "Your Majesty, my idea is the same as Lao Duan's."
"At this point, my life, Wang Baobao, depends entirely on your Majesty's favor."
"I know best what kind of person the Yuan Dynasty is. Even if it is restored, it will be destroyed sooner or later."
"The Mongols are small in number, and it is unrealistic for them to rule over hundreds of millions of Han people. Your Majesty, you just want to help Zhang Wuji. I, Wang Baobao, would like to follow Your Majesty just for the roasted leg of lamb I just ate, regardless of anything else."
…
Zhao Min was already beaming with joy in her heart, but on the surface she still had to pretend to be in pain. After all, her transformation was too great, and if she laughed out loud at this moment, it would be too embarrassing.
…
Zhao Min said to Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao in a serious tone, "Generals, I, Zhao Min, will never force anyone to do anything. You have followed me for so many years, and I have not given you anything. Now that things have come to this, I do not want to force you to fight battles that you should not fight.
"Two generals, if you want to return to the grassland, or travel around the world, you can just tell me. I will give you some money and guarantee that you will live a prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of your life. You can marry some beautiful concubines and find a place to live a shameless life for ten years or so. That would be pretty good too."
…
As early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin had tried to abdicate the throne three times. Li Yuan at the time was helpless and could only issue decrees again and again, begging Li Shimin to become the emperor.
At this point, Zhao Min also started to use Li Shimin's tactics.
The more Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao expressed their loyalty to Zhao Min, the more Zhao Min pretended to force her way.
When the three of them were talking emotionally, Zhao Min even burst into tears and said that she didn't want to hinder the two of them from living a carefree life. Naturally, Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao could only keep expressing their loyalty.
In this way, the three of them struggled for more than half an hour.
During this period, Han Yulou was stunned. He wanted to say something, but then he thought that his good disciple didn't treat him as an outsider at all. He had already agreed to let him be Xiao Min'er's master, which meant he had already bought the rest of his life.
