Chapter 373 Testimony
For such an answer, Zhao Xiang exhausted all his strength, telling himself not to be afraid or tremble.

He was actually very worried. He was afraid that because he was a deserter, the young general would no longer be able to tolerate him.

He is also afraid that he will not be able to repay it until he dies.

"I want to ask you, what happened in the first battle of Wancheng!"

When Zhou Mingxuan asked this question, Zhao Xiang suddenly raised his head, then stared at Zhou Mingxuan and asked, "I said, will the general believe it?"

"That's what you say. As for whether what you said is true or not, I will judge by myself."

Zhou Mingxuan's answer gave the other party great courage.It was the first time someone asked him to tell what happened, and it was also the first time someone was willing to believe him.

"Okay, I said!"

This Zhao Xiang spoke very slowly, but Zhou Mingxuan listened carefully, and at the end he was angry and helpless.

He always felt that the matter of Wancheng seemed to be drawn to conclusions eagerly, as if the twists and turns were not important.Most importantly, Wancheng was breached and the entire city was burned.

But from Zhao Xiang, he heard a different story.

There are 1 guards in Wancheng, and the opponent's army is [-].

Although this is a contest with a huge disparity in numbers, if they can hold on to the city, they may be able to hold on.

Although there was not enough food in the city at that time, as long as everyone was dedicated, there was still a chance.

Moreover, since Wancheng is besieged, there will always be rescue.

However, the food in the city is pitifully small.

It turned out that just a few days ago, in order to raise food for King Ping's army, [-]% of the food in Wancheng was taken away.

This means that the people in the city are already starving.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to stick to it for ten days and half a month.

What was even more unexpected was that someone secretly opened the gate on the other side and escaped secretly.

Not only escaped, but also took away 2000 troops.

As a result, morale was greatly reduced, the people in the city panicked, countless people began to flee, and Wancheng almost became an empty city.

"Who is it, opened the city gate and escaped!"

When Zhou Mingxuan asked this question, Zhao Xiang glanced at Zhou Mingxuan, and then said: "We don't know very well, but I heard that it is a prince."

Zhou Mingxuan slowly closed his eyes. At that time, several princes were fighting for the throne, and they had all kinds of means.

But it is too much to fight with a city.

"The city seemed to be empty, and the soldiers fought with hunger. In the end, there was nothing left. I am not afraid of death, but I don't want such a meaningless death.

In the end, some of us escaped with the protection of the people, and some of us stayed behind.Those people died for us.

So general, please give the humble job a chance, even if you die, let the humble job die on the battlefield! "

Zhao Xiang knelt on the ground and begged so, tears streaming down his face into the dirt, not wanting anyone to see his sadness.

"I know you want to go to the battlefield, but I don't want you to die in vain. If you die, you will bear the reputation of being a deserter for the rest of your life."

When Zhou Mingxuan said that, Zhao Xiang was stunned. What does this mean?
Could it be that the general wants to complain for the soldiers who died in Wancheng?
It was touching, but they really escaped!
No matter what the reason is, they lost the city of Dajing!
So for so many years, he only felt wronged. The city that could have been defended, the people who could have lived, were wronged to die.

But he knew that he deserved what he deserved, so he didn't dare to complain about being wronged.

"General, we really escaped."

"You have escaped, but there are still people who have not escaped. They should not be called sinners!"

When Zhou Mingxuan said that, Zhao Xiang stared at him deeply, and then burst into tears.

"General, if you can, please help them! They died for Wancheng, they did nothing wrong, they shouldn't be blamed for so many years."

When Zhao Xiang said that, Zhou Mingxuan nodded and said, "I will do my best."

Now is not the best time, but it is the best time.

It's time to fight the Northland again, so it's time to learn a lesson.

Zhou Mingxuan looked at Zhao Xiang and asked, "At that time there was a county magistrate named Yu Xingheng, do you know him?"

"Magistrate Yu, the humble official knows that he died in the city that year."

"Why die in the city?"

Zhao Xiang felt it, Zhou Mingxuan's inquiry about this matter was probably because of the magistrate of Yu County back then.

"Wancheng was besieged, and the soldiers needed rations. At that time, the county magistrate Yu collected the food. He went down to find the people to collect the food, saying that it would be used for the defense of Wancheng.

The people all took out the food they could get at home, and they were also afraid that the city would be destroyed.But later, the city gate was opened, and their home was still not saved.

County Magistrate Yu didn't leave. He said that he was sorry for the people of Wancheng, so he fought with everyone at the gate of the city, and finally died in the city. "

Hearing this, Zhou Mingxuan was in a complicated mood. It could be seen that Yu Xingheng was a stubborn and frank person. If not, he could have escaped back then.

"What you said, are you willing to press your fingerprints as a testimony?"

When Zhao Xiang heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed again.

"The humble official is willing, not for himself, but only for those colleagues in Wancheng."

Zhou Mingxuan believed this, so he really wrote it himself, and then asked Zhao Xiang to press his fingerprints.

He wanted Zhao Xiang to live and send him to the emperor alive.

He wants to hand this knife to the emperor to see what he wants to choose.

In addition, he has to collect more evidence and let more people prove this matter.

In the end, Zhou Mingxuan personally copied a testimony and his own letter, and asked Fuzi to bring it to Ning Mo.

It is up to Ning Mo to decide whether to tell Mrs. Ning about this matter.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Ning Mo received the letter. She asked Monday to entertain Fuzi and read the letter by herself.

Then she fell into a long silence.

The struggle between people has never stopped, but the struggle between the powerful has a greater impact.Ordinary people's fights are nothing more than hurting others and themselves, but this fight between the powerful and the imperial power hurts the common people.

Grandfather is a hero, that is enough to know.

As for the Changxing uncle's mansion, it's not as warm as the Lin family. She doesn't want to know those people at all, and she doesn't want to restore her identity.

Therefore, she decided to hide this matter temporarily, and it would be more appropriate to tell her mother after her grandfather recovered her reputation.

She replied directly with a pen, telling Zhou Mingxuan not to be in a hurry, after all, the king's heart is unpredictable.

'Master, are you worried about your boyfriend? '

Hearing the three words boyfriend, Ning Mo felt warm in her heart.

'I'm worried that he's too upright to sit on the throne, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp. '

'Master, you are despising the imperial power. '

'It's not contempt, it's just an analysis. To be honest, Zhou Mingxuan is too upright, probably a little worse than the generals who were beaten by society. '

'Master, you have to believe in your boyfriend's strength, the Zhou family is still unshakable in today's big scene. '

Hearing this, Ning Mo suddenly thought of a sentence, who can accommodate others on the side of the couch?
She always felt that if the Zhou family wanted to continue to be stable, they needed to become stronger.

If you can't make the other party completely believe and not be suspicious, then it is strong enough to make him dare not be suspicious!
