"really."
Looking at the light screen, he saw the scene of himself calling Jiang Xuan back.
The empress raised her eyebrows, secretly saying, "As expected," and looked intently: "Let me see how you will deal with Dong Zhongxian after you come back."
About Dong Zhongxian.
The empress really couldn't think of any way to deal with it now. Even the threat from the King of Chu was a little difficult for her to deal with at the moment.
The reason.
It’s because my foundation is shallow and there are too few people I can use.
[The first year of Shengwu]
【Xiaoman】
[Under the order of the empress, the Prince of Zhenbei returned to the court. On the day of his return, the empress led all the civil and military officials to the north of Chang'an for thirty miles to welcome him, shocking the world and causing the people to cheer.]
[In the eyes of the people of Dawu Dynasty]
[The return of the King of Zhenbei means that the chaos of the Dawu Dynasty will soon be quelled and the world will be at peace.]
[The first year of Shengwu, Grain in Ear]
【Only half a month after returning to the court, the King of Zhenbei completely purged the court and dismissed nearly half of the officials. After taking control of the military power of the world, he wrote to the empress and appointed Xu Shu, a subordinate of his, as the Minister of War; conferred upon Huo Qubing, a subordinate of his, the title of General of Cavalry, and the title of Marquis of Guanjun; conferred upon Wang Jian, a subordinate of his, the title of Marquis of Wucheng, and the title of General of Zhenguo, to control the military power of the world; and conferred upon Xu Chu, Marquis of Huwei, the title of Commander of the Imperial Guard, in charge of the Chang'an Imperial Guard Camp, to protect Chang'an】
[Once this matter was reported, the government and the public were shocked]
【Discussions raged】
[Some people say that the King of Zhenbei has evil ambitions. As soon as he was recalled to the court, he threatened the empress, suppressed the old ministers, and lavishly rewarded his subordinates. His intentions are obvious.]
[Some people also say that the people who were rewarded by the King of Zhenbei are all talented. The Dawu Dynasty is in a chaotic time, so talented people should be rewarded to calm the chaos.]
[However, many people scoffed at this excuse.]
[Xu Chu and Huo Qubing need no further explanation. They are both extraordinary generals and extremely brave. It is normal for them to receive such a reward. However, Xu Shu and Wang Jian are both unknown and have no reputation. Moreover, they have not made any achievements, yet they have received such a reward. How can they convince the public?]
You don’t care about these things.
[What you care about is still the Prince of Jin who is imprisoned in the imperial prison by the Empress]
【then】
[After much deliberation, you decided to send someone to Chang'an to seek an audience with the King of Zhenbei, hoping to use the foundation you have accumulated over the years to exchange for the life of the King of Jin]
[You know that this matter has no hope, and it may even expose your previous behavior of aiding the enemy and put yourself in danger, but you still did it.]
【At the same time, when you sent someone to Chang'an】
[One month after returning to the court, the King of Zhenbei finally dispatched troops after finishing the reorganization of the court.]
[At his command]
[Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, personally led 300,000 brave cavalrymen from the northern border, with Huo Qubing, Marquis of Guanjun, as the vanguard, and headed straight to Lin'an Prefecture to attack the King of Han]
[After receiving the news, the King of Han did not even have the courage to fight. He was afraid before the battle and led his army to Shuzhong overnight without even returning to Luoying Mansion.]
[Under such circumstances]
[Marquis Wucheng's army effortlessly recaptured Lin'an Prefecture, and then, under the order of the King of Zhenbei, they marched south to recapture the lost territory.]
[In just half a month, they recovered the lost territory all the way to Luoying Mansion]
After taking Luoying Mansion, Marquis Wucheng led his army and headed straight to Shuzhong, intending to take down the King of Han first, and then pacify Dawei, Dali, and Nanyue.
[At this time, the people you sent to Chang'an returned]
[As you expected, King Zhenbei did not agree to your request]
[He even knew that you had been sending a large amount of money and food to King Jin every year over the years]
[You stiffen after hearing this]
[He gave a bitter smile and made no effort to struggle, deciding to wait for death in Yangzhou]
[But what surprised you was][You waited anxiously for a month, but no one from the court came to arrest you]
[At this time, Wu Chenghou's army had already reached Sichuan and Shu]
[You received news that the King of Han was in a state of panic as his army was approaching, and he chose to unite with the Wei Dynasty to resist the 300,000 cavalrymen under the command of Marquis Wucheng]
[You were so anxious that you didn’t pay much attention to this battle]
[When I received news from Shuzhong again, it was already half a month later]
[The ending of the King of Han is as you expected]
[In just ten days, Shuzhong was captured, the King of Han was captured and escorted back to Chang'an, and the Wei Dynasty was ambushed by a group of elite cavalry led by Guanjun Hou when they came to help. They were defeated and fled back to Jianping to defend.]
[Shengwu Year, Minor Heat]
[After dealing with the King of Han, the King of Zhenbei did not stop, but ordered Marquis Wucheng to lead the army and head straight to Jianping Prefecture]
[At this time, after being anxious for more than two months and still no one coming to take you away, you feel a little relieved, but you don’t think that the empress will let you go just like that]
So, after thinking for a long time,
[Decided to take the initiative to write a letter and confess to the Empress]
[I want to use this to buy a glimmer of hope for my wife, children and elders]
[Soon after you pleaded guilty]
[Someone from the court has come and taken you to Chang'an]
[The Prince Zhao's Mansion was also sealed by the Imperial Guards, and your wife, children, and elders were also taken to Chang'an]
[The first year of Shengwu, the beginning of summer]
[After decades, you once again returned to Chang'an and the court]
[You kneel down in front of the palace, listening to the Royal Guards reading out your crimes. You thought the Empress would be furious when she saw you, but to your surprise, she was very calm.]
[Neither angry nor cold]
[It's like whether you confess your guilt or accept your punishment, it's just a trivial matter to her.]
[The Empress convicted you only after the Royal Guards read out your crimes. You thought you would die, but the Empress had no intention of killing you.]
[Instead, you were demoted to a commoner, and you were not allowed to leave Chang'an for the rest of your life. With your tears of gratitude, the empress had someone take you away.]
[When you were leaving, you saw a soldier, coming in covered in dust, shouting that Jianping had won a great victory, and that Marquis Wucheng had defeated the Wei army and killed more than 200,000 enemies]
[You are shocked after hearing this]
[Sighing: This Wu Cheng Hou is indeed a subordinate of the King of Zhenbei, he is really amazing]
[With such emotion, you are surprised again]
[You seem to have not seen the figure of King Zhenbei in the court]
"Only demoted to a commoner?"
When the empress saw this, she couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, she was a little surprised by her decision.
Although King Zhao did not rebel.
But what they did was no different from rebellion.
For a crime like this, even if his entire family isn't executed, at least his head should be chopped off, right?
But in the end he was only demoted to a commoner?
"Could it be."
The empress looked at the light screen in front of her.
He murmured thoughtfully, "It was the me in the simulation who knew that if King Zhao died, the simulation would end, so I spared his life and didn't kill him?"
I'm home!
