The gods are also forced to open

Chapter 271

"Your Majesty, he... is getting more and more confused!"

"He doesn't have any mercy on the people of the world, but only for his own ambition, he expands his territory by conquering wars and aggression, and forces other countries to bow their heads and surrender, but what are the benefits of this?"

It's just guarding a desolate land!

"General, what's your opinion on this matter?" Xiao Yun asked tentatively, keeping his expression on the surface.

"Even at the risk of being beheaded, I will never fight again!"

General Xie has a firm attitude. Years of battles have made him miserable. The lives of the soldiers are difficult, and so are the people of Han. During those days in the frontier, he dreamed of ending the war and returning to his hometown. .

Now he has finally been recalled by an imperial decree, saying that he will not go no matter what, fighting for the emperor in the frontier these years, he has fulfilled his duty as a courtier.

"But... even if General Xie doesn't go, someone else will go..."

Xiao Yun sighed and said slowly,
"Yesterday, the emperor issued a call. The northern army must not withdraw. If they attack the north directly, it is bound to make all the small countries in the north submit to our great Han country."

"So, the emperor has no plans to stop the war, and the people of Han may have to continue to live a hard life..."

"Ridiculous! This matter is too ridiculous! How did the emperor become like this?"

General Xie is the confidant of the emperor of Han. When the emperor was still the prince, General Xie already belonged to the prince’s side. He admired the prince and believed that the tolerant and fraternal prince must be a wise king who is diligent in government and loves the people in the future, so he tried his best to assist The prince successfully ascended the throne and became the current emperor of the Han Dynasty.

As it turned out, he was right.During the first ten years when the emperor came to the throne, he really managed the entire Han country in an orderly manner. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and loved this wise emperor very much.

But in recent years, the emperor has gradually changed into a different person, extorting violent taxes, fighting abroad, being lazy in political affairs, indulging in pleasure, turning a blind eye to the affairs of the world, and turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people.

It really chilled the hearts of those who loyally followed him at the beginning. General Xie had gradually become numb during these years of fighting, and the reverence for him in his heart had long since vanished.

"Maybe the emperor is... tired."

"Tired? But he can't ignore the people of Han!"

From the western border to the capital, General Xie saw many beggars and fugitives along the way.

All the laborers in the family were forced to serve in the military, and the old wives and children were left at home. The fields were barren, coupled with years of severe drought, poor food harvests, heavy taxes, and many people died of starvation!
General Xie is a man with a strong heart, and when he thinks of this, he becomes angry and wants to rush to the palace immediately, asking the emperor if he can open his eyes to see the current situation of the Han Dynasty at the end of its battle!

Just do it, "Prime Minister Xiao, I'm going to the palace to meet the emperor now, please make arrangements."

"Okay, please come with me, General."
-
General Xie didn't bother to have a bite of food, he just drank some wine and rushed into the palace, hoping to persuade the emperor to change his mind, not to let those loyal followers of him feel chilled, and not to disappoint the people all over the world up.

"Thank you General, please wait a moment."

"Ah."

Xiao Yunming knew that the emperor would not meet General Xie, so he still pretended to go through the process. His purpose was to make General Xie completely give up, and then instigated him.

Now the two Tiger Talismans are all in the hands of General Xie. General Xie holds the military power. He only needs an imperial decree from the emperor to mobilize thousands of troops. And Xiao Yun holds the key food and administrative power in his hands. The Great Han Kingdom must be in the pocket of the Xiao family.
