One Thousand and Twenty-Three: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots (1)

"I beg you - please don't kill me, please, I will give you as much gold, silver and jewels as you want -"

"I'll give you whatever you want, just don't kill me—"

Begging for mercy in every possible way, the god of death in front of him is also indifferent.

Under the threat of death, these people collapsed and lost control of their emotions.

"Liu Xi—you will die—"

"Willow Thief! Curse you, you will never end well in your lifetime. If you give birth to a girl, you will be a prostitute, and if you give birth to a boy, you will be a thief—we will watch in hell—"

"Mom, I'm so scared, I don't want to die, Mom—"

"Father, where are you, Father—I'm so afraid—"

...

The shrill sound of the poisonous spell entered Fu Wang's ears, and it was clear that he had gone far away, but he always felt that someone was crying in his ears.

If it was an ordinary person, he would probably feel uncomfortable now, but Fu Wang's expression remained the same.

"Hey—general, do you think my lord will be too—"

The lieutenant who followed Fu Wang to execute the massacre order showed a look of unbearable, his state of mind was far less powerful and cold than Fu Wang.

Don't blame him for being soft-hearted, the barbarians in northern Xinjiang deserved to die, and he would kill a few without blinking an eye.

However, those old and weak women and children should be innocent. He even saw children under the age of one month and women who were several months pregnant.

Even though he sympathized, but the military order was like a mountain, he had to order bows and arrows to shoot indiscriminately, and all people were executed.

After the execution, the corpses were inspected one by one, and the dead ones were stabbed again.

After doing this, the lieutenant general felt that he was not well.

Fu Wang sneered coldly, and asked indifferently, "If your wife is wiped out by the northern Xinjiang barbarians, your daughter is humiliated to death, your old mother is hard to escape, and your father and brother have their heads and feet cut off, you are the only blood relationship left." One—do you think those are innocent?"

The lieutenant was astonished, as if he hadn't thought of this possibility.

"If, if this is the case—naturally, I can't wait to let all the people in Beijiang be buried with me—"

Fu Wang said, "That's all right. What are you doing with sympathy? You think the children in northern Xinjiang are innocent, but they are the least innocent when I come here. I would rather let ten adults go, than absolutely not Let go of a child who flows through the noble blood of northern Xinjiang."

"Why?" The lieutenant shook his head disapprovingly, "The child is still young and doesn't know anything, how can this be the same—"

Fu Wang raised his hand and plunged the long ax into the ground, leaning on the railing of the camp, and let out a long breath.

"Troubled times are different from prosperous times. There is no distinction between old and young people in troubled times." Fu Wang smiled, and he said, "Young children are far more threatening than adults. Adults are either dragons or insects. Qualitative, can’t make big waves. However, children are different. Who knows what kind of person this child will become in the future? Just because he is a child, it is easier to be used by others-we are going to grow old after all. Wouldn't the seedlings that are not good leave a hidden danger of turmoil for future generations?"

Don't look at Fu Wang's rough appearance and reckless temperament, but his heart is as careful as dust.

He has the instincts of a wolf, and eyes that can see through the fog and see the truth.

"But—that's only a slight possibility—"

The lieutenant general is a good old man, honest and loyal, fortunately he won't delay the military plane, and Fu Wang didn't bother to correct him.

"Maybe not at all--" Fu Wang squinted, glanced at the place where the screams had subsided from the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, "My lord wants to bring prosperity and peace to the world, so she will not allow any threat to the prosperity." There are hidden dangers in Taiping. Why do you think the lord wants to slaughter all the nobles in northern Xinjiang, even their relatives? Because the nobles in northern Xinjiang have more connections and financial resources than ordinary people, and they can easily do what ordinary people can't do Things, they are more threatening than ordinary people, so they cannot be tolerated."

Although the northern border is a barren land, there are also smart people in the noble class. Comparing nobles to the brain and ordinary herdsmen to the limbs of the body, then as long as the brain is removed, the torso and limbs will not have the brain to command, how much combat power can they exert in the end?

"If you keep these people,

Twenty years at the latest, Northern Xinjiang will be able to recover and become a serious problem. When the time comes, old and new hatreds will add up. Guess how many innocent people will die? Definitely more than fifteen thousand. "Fu Wang said firmly, "The war will not only harm the people in the Central Plains, but also a burden to the people in the northern Xinjiang. If the death of these people can be exchanged for the lives of more people in the future, they deserve to die. "

The deputy general was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

After a while, he said shyly, "The general's realm is transcendent, and the final general is ashamed."

Fu Wang said honestly, "What realm is transcendent? I'm just bluffing you."

The lieutenant made a confused face: "..."

Fu Wang raised his hand and pulled out the weapon, pouted and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. If it is left in the jungle, which wolf will not eat the prey because it is pregnant? If you don't eat the prey, the one who starves to death Myself. I don't know how you can have so much sympathy—"

Lieutenant General: "..."

After all, it was Jiang Pengji's confession, Fu Wang carefully compared the identity and age of each corpse, and checked again and again.

Don't worry about it--

If a fish that slipped through the net came to revenge eighteen years later and provoked a war between the barbarians and the Central Plains, how many people would die?

Fu Wang yawned while making people work carefully.

It was inevitable that someone would feel pity, so Fu Wang sent his henchmen, one by one to be ruthless.

Even if there are beauties of national beauty among the prisoners, they will stab them several times without blinking until they die.

"Guardian?"

Fu Wang was busy, never thought that an unexpected person would come to the military tent.

"Looking at the sky last night, Ci discovered that the stars in the night sky are strange, and the energy in the northern border is not exhausted, and there seems to be a master of ZTE hiding—"

Fu Wang was so startled that he lost any sleepiness.

"What? The Lord of ZTE?" Fu Wang was taken aback, "Mr. Wei is joking, right?"

Wei Ci lowered his eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, General Fu might as well check it out."

Fu Wang asked, "Check? How to check?"

"When Zuo Xiang participated in the bonfire night party when he was young, he married a shepherdess, / and gave birth to a baby girl. This baby girl was raised by Zuo Xiang secretly, and later became the first wife of the downcast branch of the royal family. This daughter The son born will be the person who will rejuvenate the northern border in the future."

Fu Wang was startled when he heard that, "The left minister of Northern Xinjiang is—"

"Ulba."

"Wu Liba?" Fu Wang hurriedly checked the register and found the page of Wu Liba's family, but there was no illegitimate daughter that Wei Ci mentioned, let alone the "Master of Zhongxing". Wait—I'll send someone to investigate—the Guards Division wait a moment—”

Wei Ci was not in a hurry, and waited quietly, but his thoughts returned to his previous life.

The world was initially settled, and all the ministers were worried about the heirs. His Majesty wanted to make the eldest daughter Changsheng the crown prince, but was repeatedly obstructed by the officials.

Within two years, His Majesty conceived for the second time, which was later called Fushou.

When Fushou was born, the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect revived under the leadership of one person, and even introduced the teachings to the back houses of officials.

This person took advantage of the dispute between the courtiers and His Majesty over the issue of the crown prince, and started from the official's backyard to premeditate the assassination.
