Chapter 441 I followed Awu's advice
The reactions of the three brothers of the Hu family were seen by everyone, and they all sighed.
The Wei family is also a family of generals. They educate their descendants strictly and have raised many talented people. Wei Ting's military talent was revealed in his youth, from a young man in a thin blue shirt who roamed the imperial city, to a young general guarding the border. Wei Ting attracted everyone's attention and was envied by countless people.
The Yuchi family is similar to the Hu family, yet different.
Similarly, Yuchi Lianping's parents also died tragically, but he dared not forget them for a moment. With the earnest expectations of his elderly grandmother at home, he came to Lin'an and worked hard. He was promoted from a captain guarding the city gate and even married Princess Huachang as his son-in-law.
Hu Chen's tears were still in his eyes. Hu Lie pounded the ground with his fists, which had already dripped many tears. Hu Feng lowered his head, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Ji Qingwu walked gently to the side of Emperor Wu Su, but saw that there was no expression on the emperor's face.
Zhao Mingyan stood in front of them and said coldly: "I thought you had forgotten your names!"
This sentence aroused the shame of the three brothers of the Hu family.
Hu Feng's throat rolled over several times with difficulty before he said, "It's because I'm living at the wrong time, but since I've done something wrong, I'm willing to bear the consequences."
"I hope the emperor will not punish my two brothers. Since they are unaware of the situation, I will bear the consequences alone."
Hu Lie and Hu Chen said: "Brother..."
"You'll bear it all by yourself?" Zhao Mingyan said lightly, "Can you bear the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy?"
After these words were spoken, several people from the Hu family lowered their heads in fear.
Once such a serious crime is proven, all family members will be implicated. Hu Feng still wants to protect his brothers, but it is impossible. Even his deceased grandfather will suffer the infamy.
Wei Ting glanced at the emperor in surprise.
Ji Qingwu quietly turned his head and carefully observed the expression of Emperor Wu Su.
She was also full of surprise.
Now, the army in the northern border is short of generals, so the emperor specially sent Wei Ting to persuade them to surrender, and took great pains to bring the Hu family members to the camp, just for the purpose of recruiting them and also to provide compensation to the Hu brothers.
But Emperor Wu Su seemed to be about to explode again...
He definitely didn't want to punish him. Ji Qingwu suddenly understood Emperor Wu Su's thoughts.
Ji Qingwu followed Emperor Wu Su's words and spoke softly.
"The last person to be convicted of treason was the former prime minister Su Fengyue. Do you know what kind of punishment he and his family received?"
Although the tone was light, the meaning behind the words was profound enough.
Everyone's face changed.
The Su Fengyue incident caused a huge stir. Not only did it have a bad impact as the prime minister was collaborating with the enemy, but what was even more shocking was that Su Fengyue was castrated by Prince Yong while he was still in prison and had not even signed the charges. Several censors who reported the incident were so angry that they fainted, and the news spread throughout the world.
Qi Peiyao hissed, this crime was too serious!
She tilted her head and looked at the crotch of Hu Chen, who was kneeling on her right. Hu Chen quickly brought his knees together. Hu Lie shrank his thick shoulders, unable to accept such a cowardly way of dying.
Hu Feng lowered his head even lower, his face looked grim, and he didn't dare to answer for a long time.
Ji Qingwu quietly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Wu Su's expression and saw that his face was still calm.
She continued, "Your Majesty, Hu Feng did not intend to help Xi Jin's people, and he was also deceived. Can you give the Hu family another chance to redeem themselves and make meritorious contributions?"
The three brothers of the Hu family raised their heads. If there was such an opportunity, they would definitely seize it.
Ji Qingwu's eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and he said slowly: "General Hu is watching from heaven, and he must hope that his children and grandchildren will be pillars of society who carry on his legacy."
"Instead, he was a bandit who killed and robbed people until his death."
These words really touched the hearts of the three brothers of the Hu family. If they had a choice, they would never be willing to be bandits.
Hu Feng's eyes were red, and he said, "Thank you, Doctor Ji, for your kind words. I think so too." He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, can you give us three brothers another chance to reform?"
His head hit the ground hard.
Hu Lie and Hu Chen also kowtowed. The three of them seemed to use kowtow to show their sincerity, and each kowtow was louder than the last.
Ji Qingwu turned his gaze towards Emperor Wu Su and asked, "Your Majesty?"
Zhao Mingyan said in a deep voice: "Is there anything about you that can atone for your sins?"
Hu Feng raised his head with bloody marks on it and said, "My ancestors have been soldiers for generations, and there are martial arts techniques in my family to strengthen our bodies. The three of us brothers dare not slack off in practicing martial arts."
"We are willing to serve the Emperor and Beili with all our might, and work hard until our death!"
In fact, Zhao Mingyan could already see how skilled Hu Lie was during the fight between Wei Ting and Hu Lie just now.
Although Wei Ting was holding back and deliberately tempting Hu Lie to use his ultimate move, Hu Chen only stepped out to persuade Hu Lie when he was about to lose.
He knew, he knew they were not lying.
If you neglect martial arts training for one day, it won't be noticeable, but if you neglect it for seven days, you will become rusty and full of flaws.
Although Hu Lie's current kung fu is not as good as Yuchi Lianping's, he will become a powerful general in the future if he trains more in the army.
Five pairs of eyes looked at Emperor Wu Su expectantly.
Three pairs are the Hu brothers, and one pair is their wife Qi Peiyao.
With a pair of shining eyes left, Zhao Mingyan said calmly: "Okay, I will follow what Awu said."
Emperor Wu Su left this sentence and left the tent.
As Li Yuzong followed his master, he winked at Ji Qingwu, asking her to catch up quickly.
But Ji Qingwu didn't move. She pretended not to see it. She still remembered why she came here, which was to take Qi Peiyao's pulse.
Besides, Emperor Wu Su might still be upset, so she should wait for him to calm down before going back.
As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere in the tent finally became less solemn.
Hu Lie was confused and asked, "Who is Ah Wu?"
Qi Peiyao slapped him and said, "You idiot! You should talk less and eat more!"
Hu Feng did not stand up. He knelt on the ground, looking at the woman in front of him sincerely.
"Miss Ji, the three of us brothers, as well as Yao'er, would like to thank you."
He signaled to his two brothers to kowtow to Ji Qingwu again to express his gratitude.
Ji Qingwu dodged to the side, not wanting to be bowed to, and said with a smile: "No need to thank me, just help Madam up quickly, she shouldn't kneel for long in her current condition."
Speaking of their wife, the Hu brothers no longer insisted and quickly helped Qi Peiyao to stand up.
Qi Peiyao shook her head, changed her usual pampered attitude, and pushed away Hu Chen and Hu Lie who were supporting her.
"Miss Ji, the husbands in my family all have their own stubborn tempers. In the future in the army, I will have to rely on you to take care of me."
"If they have done anything wrong, just tell me. I have a solution. Miss Ji, please..."
Qi Peiyao choked up.
