The hero is killed and awakened at the beginning. He is fierce and clingy.

"When the general was called back to the capital, his military power was forcibly taken away. And because of that bitch, Concubine Wang, he was even more injured and beaten with a hundred sticks."

Every time Honglian thought about it, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Without the general guarding the border between the two countries, and the sudden withdrawal of troops, it gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it and invade and occupy large tracts of land."

The war became increasingly tense, and there was no one available in the court, so the emperor had to turn his attention to Nie Qinglan.

"I was wrong before. I hope General Nie can put aside the past and continue to contribute to our dynasty."

It is a great honor for a subject that the emperor is willing to admit his mistakes. It is impossible for Nie Qinglan to refuse this apology.

"Your Majesty's words are very serious. Since this is a matter of national importance, Qinglan will definitely do his best. We will not give up even an inch of our territory!"

"Good good!"

The emperor was delighted. "General Nie is indeed worthy of being called such. He is truly a role model for our dynasty, and even more so for women!"

In order to give Nie Qinglan enough face, the emperor even asked Concubine Wang to apologize in person.

"It was the Imperial Concubine who was unreasonable before. I hope General Nie can accept the Imperial Concubine's apology."

Concubine Wang was naturally unwilling to do so. The one who died was her brother who loved her the most. It was already good enough that she didn't make Nie Qinglan unable to live or die with her own hands. Now she was asked to apologize...

But there is no way, the whole country needs Nie Qinglan now.

Concubine Wang smiled and walked up to Nie Qinglan with a wine glass in hand.

"I was rude before, I hope General Nie will not take it to heart."

Nie Qinglan hummed calmly without even looking at Concubine Wang, and drank the wine in his hand as a response.

Concubine Wang's face turned pale and she wanted to lose her temper. But when she saw the emperor's warning look, she immediately drank the wine in her hand with grievance and returned to the high seat.

"Since the war is getting intense, Nie will go back and prepare so that we can set out immediately to recover our lost territory."

"Okay, okay, my dear, please leave first."

After Nie Qinglan left, Concubine Wang threw the cup coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by looking at her? I have already taken the initiative to bow my head and apologize to her, but she didn't even look at me."

"Okay." The emperor held Concubine Wang in his arms and comforted her, "Why are you so angry? You beat her with a hundred sticks before, she must be resentful, so it's normal for her to ignore you."

"Didn't she kill my brother?" Concubine Wang pouted and acted like a spoiled child. She knew the old emperor would be the most susceptible to this. "She was also angry in her heart, but for the sake of the emperor, thinking that the emperor would still need her in the future, she didn't even think of killing her."

"But not only does she not know how to be grateful, she even gives me the cold shoulder. How ignorant!"

"Yes, yes, yes, she is the one who doesn't know what she is talking about. Don't be angry."

The emperor kissed the princess. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Every time he hugged her, he felt like he was on drugs. He wanted to tear her clothes to pieces and satisfy his desires on the spot.

With so many people present at this moment, the emperor had to suppress himself.

"When she returns victorious, my beloved concubine can do whatever she wants. I will not ask."

It was equivalent to giving Concubine Wang the right, the right to kill Nie Qinglan.

Concubine Wang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I know that Your Majesty loves me the most."

The things given by his father were indeed useful. The old emperor is now completely dependent on him and even responds to his every request.

Concubine Wang thought, if she could control this old guy one day, would she be able to ascend the throne and become the empress?

After all, this old guy is a typical tyrant, and sooner or later he will squander all the legacy laid by his ancestors.

In this case, why not hand over the country to capable people?

Concubine Wang couldn't wait to have a child of her own. With an heir, she would have even more say.

"Your Majesty, it's really boring here. Why don't you go back to the palace with me?" Concubine Wang touched the emperor's Adam's apple, teasingly, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "I have learned a few new positions recently, which will definitely make your Majesty happy."

The emperor became so excited that he carried Concubine Wang away without caring about anything.

The ministers below have long been accustomed to it. In the past, some people would give advice and remonstrances, but now they don't want to say anything at all.

A tyrant ruler is in power, his subjects are not his subjects, and his ruler is not his ruler. No matter how much they say, it will be useless.

It's just a pity for General Nie. She is out there defending her country, but the monarch she is protecting is always plotting against her life.

There was war raging outside, but the emperor was warm in his red quilt...

The next day

When Nie Qinglan called up the troops, there were only 50,000 soldiers.

The 50,000 soldiers were still in a very lazy state, looking like they were not sure whether to fight or not.

"Stand still!"

"What do they all look like?"

Nie Qinglan couldn't believe that the emperor would send such soldiers to her.

How can such soldiers fight a war?

The enemy country is already strong in military power, and their military commanders are also first-class.

If Nie Qinglan took these soldiers to fight, she thought, it would be better to surrender early to avoid losing her life.

"General Nie, it's not that we don't want to cheer up, it's just that we simply don't have the energy to do so."

The Ministry of War’s military spending is decreasing every year, and they don’t treat them as human beings at all.

"General Nie, you are so strong, why do you have to follow the tyrant? In my opinion, even if you win the battle, this country will not last long, and will be defeated by the tyrant sooner or later."

The voices in the team were getting louder and louder, all expressing dissatisfaction with the king.

"Do you think that defending the country is just to protect the king?"

Nie Qinglan's words successfully calmed everyone down.

“No one wants to go to war if they can help it.”

"Look outside. The enemy has occupied many of our cities. Our people are suffering from the war. They don't have enough food or warm clothes, and they may even die at the hands of the enemy at any time."

"Anyone can sit on the throne, but we are subjects, and we work to provide the people with a safe and secure life, and to protect them from the pain of war."

"The foundation of a country is its people."

Nie Qinglan walked down from the reviewing platform and joined the ranks of soldiers.

"You also have your own family and friends. Those are the people you care about. We fight to protect these people we care about."

"The swords in our hands are only for our own consciences and for protecting those around us."

"Of course you can say that the emperor is tyrannical, but you can't vent all your anger on innocent people just because of the tyranny. Since we have chosen to join the army, it means we have taken on this responsibility."

"So, I hope you can regroup and fight just to protect the people we want to protect! Not for anything else!"
