Chapter 361 The truth of the year
The queen rewarded a pair of blood jade bracelets, and said with a smile: "This is from the empress dowager, and I passed it on to you."

Xing Nong took it over, the jade bracelet was transparent and flawless, and the texture inside was faintly self-contained!The empress dowager gave the reward to the queen, and the queen passed it on to her. Everyone present understood the implication.Xing Nong thanked with a smile: "Thank you, Empress."

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, go and serve tea to your uncle and aunt!"

Changpinghou is the uncle of the country, and Changpinghou's family is full of loyalty. Now only his elder brother and eldest son are left. The others died in that battle. Such a loyal man can naturally afford the crown prince and prince. Concubine Jing's tea.

So Xing Nong and Chu Tiankuo offered tea to them again.

After serving tea, it was time for lunch. After the family had lunch, the emperor had to go back to the imperial study to deal with political affairs. Chu Tiankuo and Xing Nong stayed in Kunning Palace to talk with the queen and Marquis Changping.

Chu Tiankuo couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, what happened back then? Why weren't you beheaded?"

He remembered that he personally collected their corpses back then.

Chang Ping Hou explained to Chu Tiankuo in detail.

It turned out that there were traitors in Changping's army back then, and there were more than one.

One of them was a very trusted lieutenant of Lord Hou. He leaked the general machine and the formation designed by Tang Lao to Zhao Guo, which caused Zhao Jun to break Tang Lao's formation and seize the city of Chu State.

The old Chang Pinghou had arrested a rebellious army lieutenant before, thinking that there was no lieutenant general in the army, but he did not expect that the most trusted lieutenant around him also rebelled.

When the lieutenant general was fighting between the two armies, the old Hou Ye and his trusted confidants discussed with Tang Lao how to regain the lost city in one fell swoop.Unexpectedly, someone still secretly told Zhao Jun the tactics and the method of breaking the formation laid down by Tang Lao Xueshan.

Zhao Jun used all his tricks and designed a formation in the snow mountain to lure Changping's army deep into the snow mountain.

Tens of thousands of troops were trapped in the modified formation designed by Mr. Tang, and eventually they were frozen to death or starved to death in the ice and snow.

"When Changping's army lost two cities in a row, and was finally trapped in the ice and snow, someone colluded with the Zhao army. The evidence of the rebellion was announced in the early court. The handwriting of those letters was exactly the same as that of the father. Copied the Marquis of Changping."

"At that time, all the evidence proved that it was my father's betrayal, but the emperor believed us. In order to lure the people behind him, he secretly asked the death row prisoner to behead us, and asked the humble officials to secretly train troops and rebuild the Changping army."

The old Chang Pinghou is getting old, this battle is the last one that the old Chang Pinghou intends to fight, and his children and grandchildren will inherit his will and protect the rivers and mountains of Chu.

In every previous battle, Lord Hou took Changping Hou's son, who is now Changping Hou and his eldest grandson, to fight, and would also bring one of his second or third sons.

Every time there is a war, one of the second son and the third son will always stay in Beijing to guard. First, it is to prevent all the males in the family from going to the battlefield, and there will be no future.The second is that if some people stay in the capital, it can also calm the emperor's heart, so that the emperor will not worry about their rebellion on the battlefield.

But this time it was the old Hou Ye's retirement battle. The second and third sons had never tried to accompany their father to battle together. The wife of the eldest son was about to give birth at that time, so the two proposed that this time the eldest son of Changping Hou, the current Changping Hou He and his son stayed in Beijing to guard, and they went to battle with their father and their two sons to kill the enemy.

Since Chang Ping Hou was eight years old, he followed the old Chang Ping Hou to the battlefield. Every time there was a war in these years, he did not fall behind once, and he was enough to be alone.

Old Hou Ye also wanted to take the last opportunity to go to the battlefield to teach the second and third sons some things, so he took the two and their sons to the field, but he didn't expect to kill them this time.

In the past seven years, Marquis Changping held his breath and wanted to avenge his father and younger brother. He built a Changping army of [-] iron cavalry. He thought he would avenge his father, younger brother and nephew together with his nephew.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too capable, using less to win more, avenging his father and younger brother by himself, and making Zhao Guo pay a heavy price.

In the next ten years, Zhao State will absolutely not be able to invade Chu State again.

Marquis Changping sighed while recalling: "However, the battle with Zhao State greatly hurt the vitality of Chu State. The disaster of Changping Army's annihilation this time also told the emperor that many treacherous villains have infiltrated the army. The power of the Chu government also penetrated into various places, and most of the virtuous talents were killed, and the disasters were so many that they endangered the country and the country. The emperor asked Lin Lao, Tang Lao... and other ministers to hide their names and secretly cultivate talents for the state of Chu."

"The matter of your mother's queen is also the emperor's trick. Putting your mother's queen into the cold palace and driving you away is actually protecting your mother and son."

Chu Tiankuo had already thought of these things, and he also knew that the emperor had secretly sent someone to protect him before.

It's just that after being thrown away by him many times, it disappeared.

The queen also said at this time: "In these years, your father always had a dream. In the dream, the Changping army fell into the enemy's trap and was trapped in the snow mountain. Someone in the court wrote that the Changping army mutinied and lost several of them. In the city, the Changping army was trapped in the snow-capped mountains, but they actually took refuge in Zhao. The emperor didn't believe it, so he sent your uncle to rescue him with a 20-strong army. In the end, he was also trapped in the snow-capped mountains, and there was no news! Later, you brought a 30-strong army to the city. Going to the rescue, the result was shot dead by the enemy. Because the Changping army led by your grandfather was really trapped in the snow-capped mountains, the dream was too real, your father dared not bet, dared not bet with the lives of [-] troops, I dare not gamble with the lives of you and your uncle, let alone gamble with the country of Chu. After all, if the dream comes true, Chu will lose its most valiant generals and [-] troops. The country is in danger! That's why he surrendered to the State of Zhao, paid tribute every year, and endured humiliation for many years."

Chang Pinghou: "Not only that, when the first emperor was in power, he trusted Prime Minister Li very much. As the prime minister of the two dynasties, Prime Minister Li had many students. He held the imperial examination for many years when the first emperor was in power. Soliciting people, many officials in the DPRK, including many local officials, are Prime Minister Li's people.

There are too many corrupt officials in various places, colluding together, disasters are serious everywhere, the treasury is empty, no one in the court can use it, and there is no money to do things.The emperor thought of a countermeasure and asked Mr. Lin to contradict the emperor many times, pretending to be disheartened by the court, and then resigned and became the head of the academy. The purpose was to recruit available talents for the emperor one step earlier.When they were in high school for the imperial examination, they pretended to be recruited by Prime Minister Li, and the people of Prime Minister Li arranged for official positions. The emperor took the opportunity to promote them and gradually replaced the forces cultivated by Prime Minister Li.The emperor has planned for many years, only waiting for the prince to grow up, so that the prince can inherit a prosperous and peaceful country.
