Chapter 40 Why take it when you know it’s poisonous? "By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict. From now on, the general Wu Anping will be ordered to return to the court immediately without delay. I appreciate this."
In this battle, Emperor Wu and Lin Beihe led the army to defeat the enemy with a small number and a large number.
At this time, the opponent's situation is gone. He has abandoned his armor and armor, and is about to win the war in one fell swoop.
However, the king of the current dynasty was bewitched by the eunuchs and wanted to use the victory won by the two men as capital for peace. The eunuch came with twelve troop withdrawal tokens and ordered the two men to withdraw their troops and return to the court immediately.
Should I be loyal to the emperor or serve the country...
In the simulation screen, the young Emperor Wu was lost in thought.
They fought this battle for too long, and countless soldiers died during the period.
As a general, he knew only too well the hardships involved.
It can almost be said that today's victory is accumulated one by one with the lives of soldiers.
Now, it's about to get a happy ending.
Do you have to give up just because of an edict? Wu Anping looked at the imperial edict in front of him with uncertainty in his eyes.
"puff!"
blood splatter Before he could think it through.
The next second, a dazzling silver light flashed quickly in the camp.
A blood line appeared on the neck of the eunuch who was waiting for the two men to receive the order, and then his whole head flew up high.
Then, the headless body fell heavily to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"The bandits are so rampant that they dared to steal our army's military orders halfway, causing our army to fail to listen to the holy decree at the first time."
Behind him, the teenage Lin Beihe slowly put away the blood-stained sword and said calmly.
Seeing this scene, Wu Anping was stunned.
[When you heard your childhood friend’s words, you were suddenly startled, and then looked at him and smiled. You knew this was the only good idea]
[You led the army directly into the enemy camp. This battle is auspicious. You have made great military exploits and become famous all over the world. You have become a hero praised by everyone. 】
[However, you did not receive the treatment that a hero deserves when you returned to the imperial court. You were secretly sentenced to death on the first day of your return to the imperial court. 】
[You were given poisonous wine by the king of the dynasty. At the critical moment, it was your old childhood friend "Lin Beihe" who stepped forward to save you...]
[It was at this moment that you suddenly realized that just being a general could not save this decadent country. 】
[You are determined to subvert this hopeless world and establish a world order that truly belongs to you. 】
It turned out that my father had known Lin Beihe since then.
Wu Mingyue looked fascinated.
It is true that only Lin Beihe can do this kind of bold behavior.
Which bandit dares to rob the imperial edict?He also suffered twelve tribulations in one calamity.
What do people want?
Do you think your nine clans are living too comfortably?
Wu Mingyue was a little amused when she heard such an outrageous reason.
She read on.
[You started to raise an army to rebel, and recruited wise men from all over the world, which may be what the people wanted. In just a few years, you had millions of soldiers, and your army broke through the royal city. You became a great leader, known as the 'Martial Emperor' in history. 】
[And the old friends and brothers who fought with you in the past have also occupied high positions and become important ministers of the country, each performing their own duties and holding great power. 】
[But you have concerns about this. In order to consolidate the future of the Wu family, you are determined to remove all obstacles for future generations. 】
Seeing this, Wu Mingyue couldn't help but look confused.
The reason why Lin Beihe is called the most traitorous official of all time.
It was because after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, he relied on his relationship with his father to kill innocent people indiscriminately in the court, and treated human life indiscriminately. Countless loyal ministers and virtuous ministers died at his hands.
Why is it the father in the simulation screen...
Suddenly, Wu Mingyue's face turned pale as if she thought of something.
She remembered what Lin Beihe did in the court not long ago, and it was exactly the same as the scene in the simulation.
It was not convenient for my father to take action in his own name against these founding ministers.
So let Lin Beihe do it for you.
At this time, she seemed to know why her father chose to turn a blind eye to Lin Beihe.
Because what Lin Beihe did was exactly what his father simulation screen speeds up again.
Time has come after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty.
[Now you are a king of a dynasty, controlling thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but your heart is gradually empty. 】
[Until this day, you saw her figure on the snow. 】
[Her name is Zhou Daji, and she claims to be the daughter of a certain merchant. She was separated from her family due to the war and wandered here. 】
[But you know that the other party is a dead soldier sent by Daqi, and you couldn't help but become interested in her for a while. 】
[You decided to keep her to add a touch of fun to your boring life. 】
[You don’t know if this is love. As time goes by, you slowly develop love for this woman who wants your own life. 】
【Her appearance brings you unprecedented happiness. 】
[With the gradual contact, you understand her experience better and you pity this stunning beauty even more. 】
[Such a woman should be happy and well-fed. 】
[You are determined to warm the other person with a fiery heart. 】
how so! Did your father already know the identity of Queen Mother Zhou?
Wu Mingyue was panicked.
Could it be that everything the Empress Dowager Zhou did in the harem was done with the acquiescence of her father.
This was even more shocking than when she first learned that Lin Beihe was not a traitor.
In her impression, her father, who had always been tall, majestic, wise and mighty, would end up in such a miserable state because of a woman.
"What kind of ecstasy soup did this poisonous woman give my father..."
Wu Mingyue murmured to himself, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The simulation screen continues.
The Emperor Wu who appeared on the screen at this time already looked a little older, lying weakly on the hospital bed, with fatigue even more evident between his brows.
"Your Majesty, come here, this is the tonic I brewed specially for you."
Queen Mother Zhou sat on the bedside to comfort and comfort her, dignified and virtuous.
Emperor Wu sighed and nodded in agreement.
In the picture, Queen Mother Zhou brought a bowl of concoction that exuded a bitter smell, put it to Emperor Wu's mouth, and carefully fed him.
At this time, Emperor Wu suddenly grabbed the fair white wrist of Queen Mother Zhou and asked.
"My dear concubine, I, can I not take medicine?"
Queen Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "Your Majesty, only after you take the medicine will your body recover."
"Okay, since my concubine cooked it with her own hands, I will eat it."
The old Emperor Wu smiled brightly and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Queen Mother Zhou showed a satisfied smile.
And look at the scene in the picture.
Wu Mingyue was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Father, he knew it was poisonous, why did he still take it? Wu Mingyue, who had no emotional experience since birth, could not understand such a move at all.
The simulation is coming to an end.
[After taking medicine for many years, you gradually became terminally ill and left no heirs except one daughter. 】
[Looking back at the past, you feel ashamed that you have failed the common people in this world, and you are even more sorry for your only daughter, Wu Mingyue. 】
[In order to remove all obstacles in the court for your daughter, you once again went on a killing spree. 】
[But only the most powerful official in the court, Lin Beihe, was left. 】
[For you, this is a double-edged sword. If you control it well, you will be the pillar of the country. If you control it poorly, it will lead to an abyss. 】
[But you believe that your daughter can do better than you]
The simulation ended abruptly, and Wu Mingyue in reality burst into tears.
Father, you are so stupid.
