Three bows to express my gratitude!
These four words made Feng Changye's eyes sore.
He imagined the old general, his armor stained with blood, finally reaching the border of Daning after days of exhaustion. He immediately stopped passersby to ask about the safety of Zhu's family in the capital...
Passersby told the old man that they wished his family was safe and sound, and that the queen was also safe and sound...
The old man burst into tears immediately. Regardless of the dozens of kilograms of armor he was wearing, he knelt heavily on the ground with a thud, facing the direction of the capital, and kowtowed three times with tears in his eyes, thanking the emperor for his grace...
The old man's gratitude is real.
However, as a tyrant, he does not deserve these three bows.
Because in history, he really executed the entire Zhu family.
The old general in history never had the chance to write this letter. The moment he set foot on his homeland, he vomited blood and died because of the grief over the death of his family members.
Feng Changye tried hard to suppress the tears in his eyes and looked at the lines of words behind him.
——Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for my crime of falsely surrendering to Xiyuan. I was also helpless. Your Majesty, please forgive me for what I have done.
On that day, there was a traitor in the Daning army. When I was leading 60,000 men outside the city to engage Xiyuan, someone shot me in the back. One arrow hit my right arm, and another hit my back. I immediately fell off my horse and was captured by the Xiyuan troops.
——Not only the old minister, but also the 60,000 troops led by the old minister suffered the same fate.
——While they were fighting desperately with the Xiyuan soldiers, the Daning soldiers on the city gate were also shooting arrows at them!
——They were attacked from all sides, and the city gates were closed. They could not break out of the encirclement, nor could they retreat back into the city. Out of 60,000 soldiers, 40,000 were tragically killed by their own people and the enemy!
——Seeing that there were only 20,000 remnants of soldiers left, the old minister suddenly came up with an idea!
——Since there is a traitor in Daning who wants to harm me, why don’t I take this opportunity to pretend to be completely disappointed with Daning and lead the 20,000 remaining soldiers to surrender to Xiyuan?
——After that, there was an incident where the old minister knelt down at the feet of Prince Xiyuan in public. The old minister denounced the Daning court for betraying the old minister. As a Xiyuan native, the old minister was willing to be loyal to Xiyuan and help Xiyuan counterattack Daning.
——When Prince Xiyuan learned that the old minister was the biological son of the princess of the Xiyuan tribe, he confiscated the weapons of the old minister and 20,000 remaining soldiers and brought them back to Xiyuan.
——It’s a pity that the people of Xiyuan were unwilling to trust me easily. I lay dormant in Xiyuan for a month before I found an opportunity, kidnapped the King of Xiyuan, and razed Xiyuan to the ground.
——Your Majesty, please allow me to report all the details of Xiyuan to you in person after I return to the capital.
"So, Your Majesty, those 40,000 soldiers outside the city that day were not murdered by me and Xi Yuan. There were traitors in the court who were willing to sacrifice the lives of 40,000 soldiers to harm me! Please give me the opportunity to identify them and prove my innocence!"
Feng Changye became furious when he saw this!
"Traitors, you must be torn into pieces!"
After imprisoning the Prince of Jin that day, he sent people to the border to investigate the old general's rebellion in detail.
But the people who went to investigate found nothing.
Because those who shot and killed 40,000 soldiers on the city wall had all committed suicide by taking poison.
They also left a suicide note, saying that they were ordered by General Zhu and that the death of 40,000 soldiers was General Zhu's sincerity to the people of Xiyuan.
These people are already dead, but before they died, they tried to frame General Zhu. If we want to find out more, we have to delve into their daily interactions and see if they've accepted bribes or been threatened recently...
So the people he sent stayed at the border to continue the investigation, and they have not returned until now.
Thinking of the imprisoned King Jin, Feng Changye's eyes turned cold.
Wait until the people he sent to investigate come back, wait until the old general comes back. Once it is confirmed that it was Prince Jin who did it, he will definitely tear Prince Jin into pieces!
He suppressed his anger and continued looking back.
Then the old general reported to him how much gold and silver, rare medicinal herbs, furs, and horses they had seized during the campaign against Xiyuan...
The number is particularly astonishing.
Finally, the old general reported.
——Your Majesty, the King of Xiyuan has been beheaded by me, but I have spared the lives of the princes and princesses of the twenty-six tribes of Xiyuan. This time, they will be escorted back to the capital and handed over to Your Majesty for the decision.
——The army is moving slowly. Your Majesty, I will arrive in the capital within five days after you receive this urgent report from the emperor, who has traveled 800 miles day and night.
After reading the official report, Feng Changye handed it to Zhu Wuhuan who was standing beside him.
He said gently, "Queen, please read the letter your father wrote."
Zhu Wuhuan nodded and took it.
When Zhu Wuhuan saw the first sentence in the letter, his eyes also turned red.
In history, the old general never had the chance to kowtow three times to thank the emperor for his grace. He died of grief before he even had time to write this letter.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Feng Changye.
I cursed the damn dog tyrant in my heart again.
"..." Feng Changye did not protest this time. He calmly accepted her scolding.
He almost killed the entire Zhu family. He is indeed a dog tyrant.
Even if he later corrected his behavior after hearing her thoughts, he could not erase the tragic end of Zhu's family in history.
Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but worry when he saw that the old general was betrayed by his own family and was hit by arrows in the arms and back.
"Father is injured, and I don't know if he's fully recovered. Now he has to march day and night to get back to the capital. What if his injury worsens?"
Feng Changye said quickly, "Then I will send someone to go and fetch the old general as fast as possible, and have him travel slowly along the way."
Zhu Wuhuan shook his head and sighed, "The old man won't listen..."
Continuing to read, she saw General Zhu say that he would bring the princes and princesses of the twenty-six tribes of AD back to the capital, and her eyes lit up!
【system! 】
She said to the system in surprise in her heart.
[The third person whose name will go down in history has arrived! And I remember there was more than one famous figure among the princes and princesses of the Xiyuan tribe. If I recruited a fourth, fifth, and sixth, would you still give me points?]
system:
The host was so desperate for points that she figured it out on her own before the second phase of the mission was even issued.
So it had to issue the second phase tasks ahead of schedule.
【bite--】
After completing the primary mission of the Gathering of Heroes, a long-term mission can be triggered. The long-term mission of the Gathering of Heroes has no limit on the number of participants. The host will receive 20 points for each successful recruitment of a talented person or important official.
Zhu Wuhuan was surprised to hear the long-term task released by the system.
And she captured a very important point.
Not only the famous figures in history, but now also these important officials in the court can be won over by her. As long as she succeeds in winning them over, she can get points!
But when you think about it, it’s not surprising.
After all, their ultimate mission is to kill the tyrant and become the queen, so they can not only recruit their own talents, but also snatch talents from the tyrant's court!
If we could snatch away all the talented people in his court, wouldn't it be easy to overthrow him?
So this long-term task is not surprising, it is what should happen.
Zhu Wuhuan secretly glanced with his bright eyes at the ministers who were punished by Feng Changye to kneel there.
Wow, the tyrant is punishing them in front, and she will secretly run over to bring warmth to everyone and win their hearts. That’s great!
Anyway, they don't seem to be very loyal to the tyrant. Didn't you see that when Song Cairen was jumping around just now, no one stood up to support the tyrant?
The tyrant must be unpopular in the court!
She can win people's hearts and earn points at the same time!
"..." Feng Changye's forehead veins throbbed when he heard this!
The Queen is addicted to taking advantage of him, right?
I really want to swear!
The crappy tasks issued by the system are so hateful, and his queen is so insidious!
