After eating, Lu Yaoye almost recovered. The experiment continued, and he was tortured to death.
Until the end of the day.
He slowly walked out of the palace with trembling feet, having a deeper understanding of the two forces.
Soon, you will succeed soon.
The snow gradually melts, and the grass and trees sprout buds after the beginning of spring. Talents in grain seeding and planting arrive in Wan Ning City, and the land outside the city enters a state of conservation.
Use burnt plant ashes to spread the ground and fertilize it for a few days. When the time is right, dig the ground for planting, fertilize and water.
The busy figures of the people were reflected in Helianzheng's eyes, and he felt a little worried.
I don’t know how the output will be in a few months.
While Wan Ningguo was busy planting, there was an undercurrent in Shengguo.
Xincheng, Zhang family base area.
Zhang Wenrong combed her hair into a bun and opened the jewelry box.
She held an elegant white jade hairpin in her hand and gazed at it longingly. After returning to Zhang's house with Zhang Jin, she realized how thrilling it was.
Feng Han suddenly returned home, killing everyone along the way and no one could stop him. Sang Xu made a prompt decision and ordered the Zhang family and his army to retreat.
He brought someone behind him.
No matter how strong Sang Xu is, he is still no match for Feng Han.
I heard that they were surrounded by a large army that day and were killed until no one was left.
Feng Han spared Sang Xu his life and was imprisoned for humiliation. The hairpin was a gift that Sang Xu had not given, a gift to her.
Zhang Wenrong inserted the white jade hairpin into his hair.
Huailin, Ah Xu, I'm sorry, she is back after all. There are too many people here that she misses, and she will not leave them behind even if she doesn't want to.
Zhang Wenrong stood up, opened the door and walked out. There was still a tough battle ahead.
"Wen Rong, are you ready?" Zhang Jin and Zhang Ze, the third oldest, were waiting in the courtyard, feeling a little worried.
"Yes." Zhang Wenrong was wearing a plain skirt and only wore a white jade hairpin. She was fresh and refined, elegant and unique, as if she was keeping filial piety for someone.
The Zhang family has lush branches and leaves, and when there are more people, different sounds naturally come out. There is food, and it occupies several cities.
A group of people with conservative ideas believe that they should not initiate a war and can still live a stable life by defending the city.
Live a stable life?
If the wind and cold do not kill you, how can you feel safe?
Today, those who have the right to speak in the Zhang family gathered together to hold a meeting to determine the future of the entire family.
In the hall, Father Zhang had a headache due to the noise from everyone.
Because the last military uprising failed, more people are unwilling to take risks again.
"Last time, we had Sang Xu to stop the Dog Emperor. If we fail again this time, who has the ability to save us?"
"We have secretly controlled five cities and have sufficient food, so why bother taking a road of destruction?"
"You must know that we evacuated in time and were lucky not to be caught. Don't you know what happened to those tribesmen who were too late to evacuate? They were wiped out. Notices are still posted in various cities. Anyone named Zhang will be arrested regardless of the reason.
Kill."
"Clan leader, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but it's just the lessons learned from the past. Isn't the Sang family miserable enough?"
The Sang family is full of loyal people.
Because of Sangxu's fault, nine tribes were destroyed. Their blood pooled on the ground and formed a red river.
But this was never Sang Xu’s fault.
Zhang Wenrong stood at the door, biting his lip sadly.
Can you have a happy ending if you don’t rebel?
Everyone knows what kind of person Feng Han is. Be it the Zhang family or the Sang family, they will all die when the time comes.
It's just that Sang Xu saw the essence of the incident and had the courage to resist. Unfortunately, he failed and tasted the bitter consequences.
Sang Xu's actions were not only for her, but also for the people and the country. But who understands? He understands the heavy burden on his shoulders and moves forward without hesitation.
Zhang Wenrong gently stroked the hairpin in her hair. The hairpin was given to her by Sang Xu's sister. Not many people from the Sang family evacuated, so Sang Xu only arranged for his sister to go with the Zhang family.
A teenage girl, her family was broken up, and she was living under someone else’s roof. She smiled, but her eyes were filled with sadness.
"Ask Sister Rong, my brother asked me to tell you. The emperor regards the people as nothing, and there will inevitably be people with lofty ideals to overthrow him. My brother is willing to be this man of lofty ideals, even if he fails, he will have no regrets. If he doesn't do it, he will have trouble sleeping and eating for the rest of his life.
Not happy."
"Brother said, you don't have to feel that things happened because of you, don't have to feel guilty or suffer. You just happened to be there."
She happened to suffer and became the trigger of all events. Without her, there would be others.
The emperor's tyranny has been endured for a long time, and they have long been unable to bear it. So, don't be sad.
The girl he loves most should smile.
Zhang Wenrong understood the deep affection in those words, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
Sang Huailin, Sang Huailin, she will laugh...
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhang Wenrong walked into the hall: "Good morning, uncles and fathers."
Everyone shut up.
The woman was not qualified to participate in the discussion, but she transported food from nowhere and strangled everyone's life.
Zhang Wenrong stood next to Zhang's father, and Zhang Jin and Zhang Ze followed to help.
Zhang's father looked at her and said: "If we stay in a corner, the Dog Emperor can let us go? Do you believe this? According to the Dog Emperor's temperament, he will never give up until he kills us."
Everyone understands in their hearts that they just don’t want to try again and fail. What’s more, there is no second Sang Xu to pave the way for them to retreat.
"I know what you are worried about." Zhang Wenrong got straight to the point, "Aren't you curious about where the food comes from? You know the three cities that were captured by the enemy, right? The enemy came from the Yunhong Dynasty, and His Majesty allowed me to
Cooperation. This is sincerity."
Everyone was talking a lot.
Is colluding with the enemy not considered treason? How can a scholar be willing to bear infamy if he has such a good reputation?
"How can you decide such a big matter privately? How come you are such a confused person in the Zhang family!"
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason will lead to a lifetime of infamy and will be reviled by thousands of people. Patriarch, is this the good daughter you raised?"
"Hurry up and break up with that side. Fortunately, only we know about it, and we can hide it. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
"Are you done?" Zhang Wenrong chuckled, "How much food are you willing to give up? Now that the matter has come to this, I will no longer hide it. Your Majesty will soon send an army to attack the Sheng Kingdom in an all-out manner and take the head of the Dog Emperor. If you get the benefits, you will not be able to hide them anymore."
Take action, how do you want to die?"
Everyone frowned and said nothing.
I secretly resented Zhang Wenrong for dragging them onto the pirate ship. They had eaten the food and could not return it, so they had no choice but to submit.
"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty is not a soft-hearted person." Zhang Wenrong took out the map and Zhang Jin and Zhang Ze unfolded it. "In the past few months, Your Majesty has successfully captured the Wan Ning Kingdom. In this battle, the Wan Ning Kingdom joined in to intercept it.
The Dog Emperor's retreat."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Listening carefully to the battle plan, everyone took a breath of cold air. The planners wanted to kill the Dog Emperor in one fell swoop and directly annex the Sheng Kingdom.
"I know that some people are afraid of death and probably don't want to get involved in the war. Therefore, Your Majesty sent a few people to help me." Zhang Wenrong raised his hand to ask.
Several people walked into the hall, and they turned out to be Wei Wan, Xu Junzhi, A Qi, and You Ling. Wei Wan waved and said hello.
Xu Junzhi glanced at everyone present: "Those who disobey His Majesty's orders will be killed without mercy. After all, you are not my subjects."
The layout of this battle has been decided, and Zhu Qinghong will not allow any omissions. The Zhang family is the most unstable place, so some means are needed.
"What do you mean? Threatening us? The Zhang family is the Zhang family of the Sheng Kingdom. They want us to collaborate with the enemy and treason..."
Xu Junzhi raised his hand, and the man had difficulty breathing.
In an instant, his body swelled, and the people next to him were frightened and hurried away.
With a smile on his lips, Xu Junzhi pinched it with his hand.
The people who had been inflated into balloons burst, and blood splashed on everyone, and they dared not move for a while.
A layer of water curtain in front blocked the splashing blood, and Xu Junzhi waved his hands to disperse: "There is no need to keep those who are ungrateful."
Everyone was speechless and didn't even dare to wipe away the blood.
Wei Wan smiled: "Any objections?"
No one answered.
Wei Wan nodded with satisfaction: "It seems not. Then I hope you can mobilize your troops quickly and be on standby at any time."
Someone stood up and left. The first one appeared, and soon there was the second, and the third...
After a while, the Zhang family members were almost gone.
Wei Wan opened the call: "Miss Zhang, Your Majesty has something to tell you."
The projection zooms in, and Zhu Qinghong's figure appears.
Zhang Wenrong stepped forward and saluted. Zhang's father, Zhang Jin, and Zhang Ze immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"This battle is inevitable." Zhu Qinghong looked at Zhang Wenrong quietly, "Since you represent the Zhang family to inherit my kindness, you should know that there are some things that should be done. Your Zhang family has a large population, and this battle is the perfect time to prune it. I only accept talented people.
, leave no waste. Do you understand?"
Father Zhang was shocked. Doesn't this make them abandon part of the clan? No matter how they are connected by blood, how can they...
"Wenrong knows." Zhang Wenrong looked calm.
During those days when she stayed with Zhu Qinghong, she saw a lot.
People's ability to live and work in peace and contentment does not come out of thin air.
It requires people to work hard, soldiers to be loyal to their duties, and emperors to be far-sighted.
During the days in Tianchong City, Zhang Wenrong saw children going to school. Both men and women had positions that were enough to support themselves. Soldiers never bullied the people and were kind and caring. The emperor paid equal attention to kindness and power, and the laws were strict.
Only in this way can we achieve a peaceful and prosperous age.
"I know the merits of the Zhang family." Zhu Qinghong was very satisfied with Zhang Wenrong's growth. "After this battle is won, Sheng Kingdom will be included in the Yunhong Dynasty. Zhang Wenrong, I will give you the position of left prime minister. The cities of Sheng Kingdom can be governed by the Zhang family.
, appointed as the city lord."
Zhang's father, Zhang Jin and Zhang Ze raised their heads in shock. The position of left prime minister? The city is governed by the Zhang family?
Feeling flattered, Zhang Wenrong lowered his eyes and said, "A civilian girl may not be what His Majesty expected. The post of left prime minister should be given to someone more suitable."
"I think you are suitable." Zhu Qinghong smiled, "After all these things, you have grown a lot. In your heart, there is great love. Love for the people and love for the country. Maybe your current abilities are still lacking, but your qualifications are not.
Or, you don’t want to?”
Zhang Wenrong knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing. Thank you Your Majesty for your appreciation. Thank you Your Majesty for giving the people a way to survive."
Zhu Qinghong raised his hand lightly: "Get up. As a minister, you serve the country and the people, and you have to cut it off. If you can't give up a little bit of blood, you are not qualified to be a leftist prime minister. You should know that old habits are hard to change, and you can only start again by eliminating them.
Get a new life."
In any big force, there are always a few people who bully others. They have no achievements and only know how to eat, drink and have fun.
Get rid of these people and let the new Zhang family move to a higher level.
Zhang Wenrong made up his mind: "I will obey the imperial edict."
"Very good." Zhu Qinghong turned off the call happily.
Wei Wan stepped forward and helped the person up.
Zhang Wenrong thanked him softly.
"Take care of your family affairs." Wei Wan patted her on the shoulder. The four of them turned around and went out. They still had many things to arrange.
After the outsider left, Father Zhang frowned: "Wen Rong, are you serious... Why don't you beg His Majesty for mercy? We are relatives after all."
