"My king said that these two jars of fine wine are given to the general. Please give the general a good taste when he returns from his dream at midnight and is killed by an unjust spirit!"
After He Junan finished speaking, the originally quiet street suddenly became colorless.
The expressions of the generals and commanders under Zhou Yafu became even weirder.
Zhou Yafu's face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.
He was really selfish in this matter, and two hundred thousand Liang soldiers and civilians were massacred because of his inaction.
Even though they have won now, the blood of Liang people is still warm. I am afraid that King Liang will never let this matter go.
"Thank you very much, His Highness the King. Please also ask Captain He to thank His Highness the King for your kindness after he returns!"
Zhou Yafu had a gloomy face, and these words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"My king said that the general was joking about your gratitude, and he didn't dare to accept it. General Zhou, please take care of yourself in the future. I'll take my leave!"
After He Junan finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Zhou Yafu, then turned around and left.
Luan Bu also hurriedly hugged Zhou Yafu and followed closely.
Seeing the backs of He Junan and Luan Bu disappearing little by little at the end of the long street, Zhou Yafu felt mixed emotions in his heart.
He knew in his heart that from now on, there would be no possibility of peace between him and the acting king Liu Deng.
Liu Deng was very kind to the Zhou family and Zhou Yafu, but this time he was forced by the emperor's order and could only be a villain in vain.
Since then, the two have parted ways.
It's because of that damn way of balance that he held an army of 150,000, but in the end he could only sit back and watch the 200,000 soldiers and civilians of Suiyang City being massacred. This will probably be a stain on his life.
Zhou Yafu originally thought that in order to restore the glory of the Zhou family, none of this was important.
But now it seems, is it really worth it?
He spent his life and blood of 200,000 Liang people to build his own Tongtian Avenue. Is it really worth it?
"General? It's getting late. We should wait outside the palace..."
After Luan Bu left, Han Daandang whispered in Zhou Yafu's ear.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Yafu took a deep breath and his expression returned to dullness again, although he knew in his heart that even if he rushed over now, what was waiting for him would be nothing more than a cold, cold rejection.
However, at this moment he had to go, he didn't dare not to go, he had to go!
The 200,000 casualties of Liang Guo soldiers and civilians finally need an explanation.
Even if it was just a superficial explanation, no matter how much King Liang humiliated him, he had to endure it.
Luan Bu followed He Junan all the way to Liang Garden.
At this moment, Liang Garden no longer has the prosperity of the past. Those pushed down flowers and trees, with their exposed roots exposed in the sun, look like dead soldiers on the city wall.
Ruins can be seen everywhere. Suiyang was besieged for 43 days. The stones smashed from the top of the city almost filled the moat outside Suiyang.
Suiyang is located in a plain area, with a hundred miles of flat plains. It is rare to find even large rocks and rubbish, let alone larger stones.
In order to ensure that there were enough stones for use on the city, Liu Wu directly demolished the Liang Garden that he designed and built by himself.
The rare stones, flowers and trees purchased at a great expense were finally sent to the top of the city to be used as rolling stones.
The people in Suiyang City have been declining from ten to seventy-eight years old, and every household in the city is in a state of modesty. The coffins in the city have suddenly become a hot commodity.
Liu Wu and Liu Deng were sitting in a pavilion with half of it collapsed, looking at the devastated Suiyang City, both of them were silent for a long time.
Liu Deng finally told Liu Wu about the official document sent from the Prime Minister's Office. Regardless of whether Liu Deng wanted to do it or not, he had to do it now.
After this battle, the princes and kings of the world will lose control of the cities under their rule, although this is a historical trend.
But at this moment, Liu Wu was determined to be the mantis standing in front of the rolling wheel.
Liu Deng didn't know what to say. On this matter, his position should actually be consistent with Liu Wu's.
As the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty, the control of the feudal country was given to them by the great ancestor Liu Bang.
The princes each rule their own country. This is the ancestral system of the imperial court, and it is also the imperial court's protection for their descendants.
After losing the power to govern the feudal country, they really became fish on the chopping board and were slaughtered by others.
But Liu Deng knew that all the mantises that stood in front of this wheel, no matter how strong your body was, would eventually be crushed into powder.
Moreover, for Liu Deng, after losing the power to govern the country, his advanced ideas would eventually be thrown into the dust pile!
On one side is the wheel of history, majestic and irresistible, on the other side is the utopia that he has worked hard for a long time and is now beginning to take shape.
Even though he was ready to give up before, but now, when he stood at the fork in the road again, Liu Deng still had a hard time making a choice.
Furthermore, the harmonious atmosphere between emperors will cease to exist.
Taking a step back, from now on, he will become an idle prince.
Originally, Liu Deng always thought that the kind of life where he slept until he woke up naturally and counted money until his hands cramped was what he wanted.
But after this baptism of fire, he wanted to use the authority in his hands to do what he could for the subjects under his rule.
"You really don't want to study with me?"
After a long time, Liu Wu finally spoke.
"Let me think about it again, there should be other ways..."
Liang Wang Liu Wu was really unwilling to swallow this breath, so no matter how Liu Deng persuaded him, he still decided to write a letter to impeach Zhou Yafu.
Even though he knew that the emperor was trying to balance the situation, he still wanted to find an explanation for the soldiers and people of Liang State.
Liu Wu also knew in his heart that doing so was of no use. At best, it would mean that Shen Tujia would step down, and then the Tingwei Mansion would conduct a series of superficial reviews of Zhou Yafu.
In the end, everything will return to its original state, and at most it will just be that the original Shen Tujia is replaced by Tao Qing.
"No matter how you choose, I, as Uncle Wang, owe you this time!" No.
Liu Wu was a little sad. Even though he won and the result was so brilliant, he didn't feel happy at all.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered a crazy idea. If he sat in that chair, he would definitely do better than him...
"The beans are burning when they are cooked, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They are from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry..."
Liu Deng suddenly remembered this poem again, and couldn't help but chant it in a low voice. There were corpses everywhere on the ground, and there were flames everywhere. What was it for...
