He was full of iron-blooded spirit that was invincible to even men, majestic and solemn.
"The princess of Zhenguo should be assured to ask for the imperial edict. Before the imperial edict is released, Liu Hong will definitely protect these surrendered soldiers!" Liu Hong bowed to Bai Qingyan and said firmly.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Please General Liu!"
Bai Qingyan wanted to bow to Liu Hong, but his arms could not be raised. She turned around and looked at the surrendered soldiers under the city tower, and turned around and walked down the city tower.
For ten thousand soldiers, they just follow the superior destiny. The superiors are fighting for their lives!
Since they are soldiers, they should die on the battlefield and should die to defend their country!
The soldiers... are the people who should not be victims of conspiracy and intrigue.
The emperor doesn't want these people, she wants them!
For these 8,000 soldiers, let them go to the southern Xinjiang... or the northern Xinjiang! Even to the eastern frontier, the western region, and fight against the enemy! In short, you must not die in the Yongding Gate of this imperial city!
You cannot die in...the whirlpool of King Liang and King Xin fighting for the throne, and you cannot die in the emperor's anger.
"Why are you leaving?"
Someone saw Bai Qingyan seemingly leaving on the high wall and shouted loudly.
"Princess Zhenguo! You said you would not kill me if you disarmed me!"
"Princess Zhenguo!"
"Bah! Damn... they are all lying to us!"
Hearing the commotion from the downstairs, Liu Hong was afraid of chaos and shouted to the surrendered soldiers downstairs: "The princess of Zhenguo has gone to ask for the imperial edict, beg your majesty to forgive me! The archers have already collected the arrows! Don't be impatient!"
Seeing this, Liu Hong also shouted: "Duke Zhenguo will protect you, and you will definitely be able to protect you!"
Liu Hong turned to look at his subordinates. Originally, Liu Hong didn't want to tell the following soldiers who were about to die. After all, he knew how firm the emperor was in killing.
Seeing Liu Hong looking at him, the subordinate quickly took a step back and bowed to apologize: "General, if you don't say that, let these soldiers continue to hit the door, there will be a slight mistake... You can't explain to Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong's fists were tightened, hoping that Bai Qingyan could really convince the emperor!
The Nandu Army will not talk about the 18,000 soldiers. How much money has been spent on training these imperial guards alone and how many years have it been spent.
If these eighteen thousand soldiers were really killed, the loss was Jin State.

The prince had just served the emperor and took medicine and handed him a teacup for the emperor to rinse his mouth. When he saw Gao Demao step in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Princess Zhenguo has something to ask for.
The emperor covered his lips with his hands and spitted the mouthwash into the spittoo. He took the silk squid handed over by the prince and wiped his mouth, and said, "Let Bai Qingyan come in!"
Gao Demao responded and went out to convey Bai Qing's words.
Seeing Bai Qingyan, who had already changed his clothes but was soaked all over, the prince was quite surprised to put the silk handkerchief used by the emperor into the square plate of gold-painted black paint that the palace maid knelt on: "This is the princess of Zhenguo..."
After Bai Qingyan bowed to the emperor with great tribute, he said, "Your Majesty, Bai Qingyan is here to ask Your Majesty to be kind, and ask Your Majesty to spare the 18,000 surrendered soldiers to not die."
The emperor, who was leaning against the bright yellow hidden bag, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Bai Qingyan quietly: "Why, do you think I am too cruel to do this?"
"Most of the imperial guards, the Southern Capital Army, treason, attacking the imperial city, intends to force the palace to usurp the throne, is not a pity to die! But... Last year, the battle of southern Xinjiang and this year, the battle of northern Xinjiang, Jin is now in a shortage of troops, and there are no new recruits called
At least half a year of experience is not enough to be more than the battlefield!”
On the way Bai Qingyan came, he had already figured out how to tell the emperor that it was useless to say that the friendship with the emperor was, and it had to touch the emperor's interests.
The emperor withdrew his gaze and stared at the candlelight swaying not far away, thinking carefully about Bai Qing's words.
"Bai Qing said that your Majesty's wrath... hatred! Your Majesty dared not use these soldiers who betrayed Your Majesty again! Your Majesty can send them to the southern border... northern border, or guard the border between our Jin and Rongdi.
, Maybe guard the border between Jin and Da Yan!" Bai Qingyan looked up at the emperor, saw that the emperor was thinking, and then said, "This Wudemen Rebellion has greatly damaged the vitality of Jin, if Your Majesty
He ordered General Liu to kill 18,000 soldiers from his family. When the secret spies from other countries learned that they might be ready to move, Jin State is in danger!”
Bai Qingyan did not give the emperor specific advice to avoid the emperor's doubts. The advice on where these eight thousand dispatches can only be told by the prince's mouth to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, they are all soldiers from Jin State! Since they have joined the army, if they want to die... they should die under the enemy's weapons on the battlefield, not under the arrows of their own comrades!" Bai Qingyan answered heavily.
The emperor kowtowed.
The emperor's hands on the bed tightened slightly, instead of dying under the arrows of his own comrades...
The emperor suddenly thought of the whole family of men who died in southern Xinjiang, and felt a little moved.
What Bai Qing said is not without reason.
It’s just that it’s hard to expel the emperor’s anger if he doesn’t kill all these rebels.
When the prince saw Bai Qingyan looking up at him, he signaled him to plead with the emperor. The prince lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, thinking about the Bai family army far away in the southern border.
Now the Bai family army is already considered the prince's man, what are the benefits? Naturally, he has to think about the Bai family army.
"Father, my son thinks what the princess in Zhenguo is right. No matter what... since he is a soldier from Jin State, he receives his military salary and eats his military rations. Even if he wants to die, he should die as much as possible! If the father is true, he should die.
If you don't worry about keeping them by your side, you can send them to southern Xinjiang. If Xiliang is ready to move, you can let them be the pioneers, which is also considered... The father has not raised them for nothing in the past few years! They will definitely be grateful to the father
The kindness! I will reform myself from now on.”
The emperor looked at Bai Qingyan, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head and lowering his eyes, and then looked at the prince with a smile on his face. After experiencing this palace change, the emperor trusted more.
The prince could have not entered the palace, but he still came to the palace to save him, which shows his filial piety.
Perhaps the emperor has grown old and lost his legitimate son, King Xin, and his heart softened. He nodded to the prince: "I have handed over the government affairs to the prince, so the prince will take charge of this matter! I am tired...
”
The prince hurriedly helped the emperor lie down, then raised the emperor to cover the quilt, and whispered: "Father, rest well, my son will definitely handle political affairs well. If you are not sure, come and ask your father for advice, so that you will not worry.
.”
The prince and Bai Qingyan came out of the emperor's bedroom together. The prince asked Quanyu to take a cloak for Bai Qingyan and said, "You don't know how to cherish your body, you know that your body is not.
OK, why are you still getting wet in the rain after changing your clothes?"
Bai Qingyan heard the prince’s words as if there was a temptation, so he said, “Don’t worry, your highness, Yan’s health has improved a lot over the past few days.”
