Chapter 1009: Ending II
Kill all the West Imperial Family?
This was something Xiao Tianyao had never thought about. What he wanted was to unify the world, not to kill everyone. Killing all the West Imperial Family will not be beneficial to his unification of the West, but……
Seeing Ji Fengyu"s great contribution, Xiao Tianyao agreed: "Okay, I allow you…"
Ji Fengyu made such a great contribution to him. He only had one request, and he would do it no matter how difficult it was.
If Xiao Tianyao doesn"t even have this bit of credit, how can he be worthy of his brother, who has been with him through life and death?
How could he deserve it? Ji Fengyu fought to the death to steal the military defense map.
"Thank you, w.a.n.gye. This commoner one will retire here. From now on… there will be no Ji Fengyu in the world, only Luo Shuyu." Ji Fengyu saluted with one hand, turned around, and walked out. His back was lonely, which made people feel sad.
Xiao Tianyao didn"t stop him, and naturally, he didn"t ask anyone to send him off. He knew that Ji Fengyu had his own choice and his plan. He couldn"t stop it, nor had the intention to stop him.
With the military defense map provided by Ji Fengyu, Xiao Tianyao was even more powerful. He immediately mobilized a large number of troops, formulated a new attack plan, and launched a fierce and rapid attack on the West.
Yes, fierce and rapid!
The West"s generals were not fools. Over time, they will inevitably find that Xiao Tianyao has an unusual understanding of their situation and layout, and will change their defense deployment and use of troops.
Xiao Tianyao"s sudden and violent attack did not give the West generals any time to think about a plan so even if they knew that there was a spy in the army and there was a problem, they had no time to take care of it.
Three months!
It only took three months for Xiao Tianyao"s Jinwuwei Army to break through the West"s imperial city, flatten the palace, and directly ma.s.sacre the imperial family without giving them a chance to surrender.
As soon as the news of Xiao Tianyao"s ma.s.sacre of the West Imperial Family spread, people all over the world scolded Xiao Tianyao for being cruel and unkind. The people of the West were also anxious. Insurrectionary soldiers and horses appeared in several places. Although they were suppressed by Xiao Tianyao one by one, it had a very bad impact.
To eliminate future troubles, after suppressing the rebels, Xiao Tianyao did not ma.s.sacre the rebels but punished the leaders by the law. As for the others, they were found to be ordinary people, so Xiao Tianyao acquitted them all.
This move undoubtedly restored Xiao Tianyao"s reputation, but this was not enough for Xiao Tianyao.
He wanted those who had scolded him before to lower their heads and apologize to him.
After handling the West rebellion, Xiao Tianyao made public the numerous crimes committed by the West Imperial Family over the years.
The most eye-catching one was the tragedy of the Luo Family. Their nine-generation family was wiped out three years ago.
Everyone knows that the Luo Family was accused of treason and had their family ransacked and exterminated. Many people at the time could not understand. How could the Luo family, a scholarly family, attempt treason? What did they do to be accused of treason?
Most importantly, the Luo Family was such a big family and had been growing up on this land for generations. Why should they rebel against the country? What were they thinking?
Moreover, and the most important point was that although the Luo Family was a large family, with many scholars in the family, and many who had pa.s.sed the imperial examination, there were only a few people who were officials in the court. Among them, the headmaster of the Luo family was just a small official with a family of four.
How could such a family be treasonous? Is it worth the effort to be the enemy of the country?
But at that time, all the witnesses and physical evidence were there, and the Emperor personally approved it. Who would dare to disagree?
But they didn"t know until today that the Luo Family didn"t treason at all back then. The Luo Family was annihilated because the Emperor fell in love with the wife of the headmaster of the Luo Family and wanted to seize his wife. However, the headmaster of the Luo Family would rather die than obey, which brought disaster and destruction to their ninth generation.
Twenty-three years ago, the woman brought into the palace by the Emperor – Concubine Mei – was the wife of the headmaster of the Luo Family. Concubine Mei endured the humiliation and devoted herself to the Dog Emperor for three years just to find an opportunity to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, but……
The Dog Emperor was lucky, and Concubine Mei failed. In the end, she had no choice but to commit suicide, leaving little Prince Ji Fengyu behind.
Of course, this was just one of them. In recent years, both Emperor Xiwu and the princes have harmed the n.o.bles and the common people.
Especially to compete for the throne, several princes often did things to win over courtiers, suppress their opponents, and frame innocent ministers.
Seeing the many crimes committed by the West Imperial Family, everyone finally understood why Xiao Tianyao wanted to slaughter all of them. It would be too kind if people like this were not killed.
As soon as the crimes of the West Imperial Family were announced, those who had previously scolded Xiao Tianyao began to praise Xiao Tianyao for being wise and eliminating harm to the people. How badly those people scolded Xiao Tianyao before, now those people praise him exaggeratedly.
Xiao Tianyao was noncommittal about this……
It takes three years for talented people to rebel. Although he cared about his reputation, he would not do anything he didn"t want to do for the sake of fame.
Moreover, things like reputation can be controlled by people. Now, he has affected the world"s evaluation of him.
After pacifying the West, Xiao Tianyao was not in a hurry to clean up the North. Only the last small country was left. What else did he have to worry about?
However, Xiao Tianyao did not take care of the North, but they took the initiative to deliver themselves to his door.
Of course, the North didn"t take the initiative to come to Xiao Tianyao"s door to be beaten by him but took the initiative to surrender.
The Emperor of the North, on behalf of his people, took the initiative to submit a letter of surrender!
Although this move was unexpected by Xiao Tianyao, after thinking about it again, he felt that it was reasonable.
The North was poor, and the people did not have enough to eat all year round. With years of war, the North was so poor that he did not even have a grain of rice.
Over the years, the South and the West have always sent food to them, which has maintained the food and medicine needs of the Northern people and soldiers. Now that the South and the West have been destroyed, no one has sent food to the North. The Northern soldiers don"t have enough to eat, so how will they fight?
Moreover, only the North was left. The North could not defeat the East before, how could they defeat the East which was getting stronger and stronger now?
The Emperor of the North didn"t want to follow in the footsteps of the West Imperial Family be slaughtered by Xiao Tianyao, and be despised by thousands of people, so he had no choice but to surrender.
If he surrendered, he might be able to save the lives of his whole family, and the people would also be grateful to him for sparing the people of the North from the baptism of war. Allowing the people of the North to have enough to eat.
In addition, he can also add a burden to Xiao Tianyao. Although he cannot do anything to Xiao Tianyao, he can always make Xiao Tianyao unhappy.
There were so many people in the North, but there was no food in the country. Now that the North has surrendered, Xiao Tianyao will have to raise a lot of food and feed the people of the North.
Supporting the people of a country was no small matter. Seeing this, all the ministers of the East persuaded Xiao Tianyao to give up the North. The North will just be a burden to the East. They don"t know if this barren place can recover, but……
For Xiao Tianyao, whether it was the North, the South, or the West, they were all the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty. As long as they were the people of the Shengyuan Dynasty, he would not give up on them……
