The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

"Boom!"

Like a bolt from the blue, a thunderous roar struck everyone.

These guerrilla generals were all stunned and stood frozen in place.

Revolt!

The Great Yu Kingdom has existed for eight hundred years. We have only ever heard of peasant uprisings, never of soldiers rebelling.

The word "rebellion" alone weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.

but……

What else can we do if we don't rebel?

Seventy thousand elite Red Beacon Army soldiers were slaughtered, and the Empress's greatsword hung brightly overhead, ready to fall on their heads at any moment.

The paths that were discussed were compromises, and there was no guarantee of survival.

Either way, it's certain death, so let's not rebel...

What should we do then?

"Damn it, this is outrageous!"

Sun Xiang was the first to speak, his face ruthless and resolute: "Anyway, Her Majesty won't let us live. Being tricked and killed by her means death, and rebelling also means death. The outcome is the same, so we might as well take a gamble!"

Once someone takes the lead, the atmosphere can be stirred up.

Several guerrilla generals also spoke up.

"Amano is right. The best outcome of compromising is just a life of mediocrity. It's better to rebel! I must die on the battlefield, whether it's killing barbarians or rebelling!"

"Damn it, they just slaughtered 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers like that! The elite troops of Great Yu are so worthless in His Majesty's eyes. There's nothing left for Great Yu to be loyal to. Let's rebel against them and build a brand new dynasty!"

"That's right! Ever since the late emperor married that bitch as empress, this Great Yu has never been the Great Yu it used to be. The current empress is even more insane. Following such a Great Yu will only lead to our demise sooner or later. We might as well rebel."

……

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and expressed their opinions one after another.

Even those who didn't express their opinions didn't come out to stop it.

This is enough.

Once you're on board, the tide will turn, and you won't even have time to jump ship and escape.

Immediately, Ren Tianye shouted, "Alright, brothers, since we've decided to rebel, let's plan this out properly..."

"What's there to plan..." Sun Xiang said directly, "We're all in similar positions, so no one's word matters. The only one we all trust is you, so you'll be our leader. Whatever you say, we'll do."

This is to directly determine who will be the leader.

Although a successful rebellion would make him the new emperor, a failed rebellion would leave others with a glimmer of hope, but Ren Tianye would have to die.

It's such a simple matter, and everyone here isn't love-struck, so naturally they all understand.

As a result, many people agreed.

"Sun Xiang is right, Tianye, you will be our leader. You tell us what to do, and we will do it."

"Amano, everyone trusts you. From now on, our lives are in your hands."

Ren Tianye was also very emotional.

When the rebel leader has no way out?

There is no way out!

Even if he dies on the road to rebellion, his time travel will not have been in vain, and the blood he sheds will not disgrace his identity as a time traveler!

He shouted, "Very well, since everyone trusts me so much, today I will become your leader, lead you all to conquer this vast land, and share in your wealth and glory!"

It's Sun Xiang again.

With a "thud," he half-knelt on the ground.

"This humble general, Sun Xiang, pays his respects to the Great General!"

Several guerrilla generals nearby immediately followed suit.

"Greetings, General!"

"Greetings, General!"

"Greetings, General!"

……

The sound shook the roof tiles, and in an instant, six people knelt down, all calling him "General," directly elevating Ren Tianye's status from a guerrilla general to a general commanding the entire nation's army!

However, there are exceptions.

Three guerrilla generals did not kneel down.

Clearly, they hadn't made up their minds about who should be the leader and didn't fully trust Ren Tianye.

Ren Tianye didn't say much. Instead, he took out the military tally from his pocket, held it high above his head, and shouted, "This general has killed Military Advisor Zhang and obtained the military tally here."

"Generals, follow me, beat the war drums and rally the entire army!"

The military tally, forged from black iron, emitted a faint glow inside the tent, and the eight large gilded characters on it were so sharp they hurt the eyes.

The three guerrilla generals who had not yet paid their respects instantly changed their expressions.

Military tally!

Military Advisor Zhang's military tally!

The military tally that allows him to rightfully command these eight hundred men has already been obtained by Ren Tianye.

While they were still arguing, Ren Tianye decisively killed Zhang Canjun and obtained the military tally that could determine the life and death of eight hundred soldiers!

If such people aren't leaders, then what about them?

They all knelt down on the ground with a series of "plop!"

"Greetings, General!"

"Greetings, General!"

"Greetings, General!"

Seeing this, Ren Tianye breathed a sigh of relief.

With the military tally in hand, the guerrilla generals were won over, and the eight hundred soldiers were now under his control. With the matter settled, he took a deep breath.

Then he shouted loudly, "Beat the drums!"

……

The booming drumbeats, like muffled thunder, resounded throughout the military camp with a powerful and rapid rhythm.

After the drumbeat ended, all junior officers rushed to the central command to assemble.

After the second drumbeat, all the soldiers lined up on the drill ground.

After the three drumbeats, everyone is present!

Even the two soldiers guarding Su Jin and her maid escorted them to the drill ground, where they lined up in neat rows, awaiting their commander.

Ren Tianye strode onto the platform.

Clad in silver armor, wielding a halberd, with a solemn expression, he appeared both dignified and aloof in the flickering firelight.

For a moment, even the soldiers who were curious as to why it wasn't Lieutenant General Zhang shut their mouths and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Brothers, I believe you already know."

"The 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers were set on fire outside Shanhe City by the Imperial Guards, and most of them were burned alive. The Imperial Guards then caught up and slaughtered them. Almost none of the 70,000 soldiers survived!"

"That's 70,000 people!"

"Seventy thousand of our brothers and comrades, just like that... died in vain!"

Ren Tianye's shout was quite skillful.

They immediately brought up the 70,000-strong Red Beacon Army. Originally, these 800 men belonged to the Red Beacon Army and had lived in Shanhe City with them for a long time, so the two sides had a very deep bond.

The sudden news of the annihilation of the Red Beacon Army was heartbreaking.

Ren Tianye's words caused his already pent-up emotions to surge even more intensely.

Of the 800 people present, at least half looked sorrowful after Ren Tianye's words, feeling a deep sense of sympathy for their kind.

Ren Tianye pointed to a soldier standing in the front row and said, "Dog Boy, I remember Uncle Wang, who was a squad leader in the Red Beacon Army, treated you very well. He taught you skills, gave you weapons, and stood up for you when you were bullied."

"He also said he would introduce you to the Crimson Beacon Army in the future, but now... he either died in this fire or at the hands of the Imperial Guards, and you..."

"How can you bear to do that?"

Gouwa was already young, and when he was most unable to control his emotions, he burst into tears the moment Ren Tianye spoke.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang, he, he died so tragically..."

"And you all..." Ren Tianye pointed at each of them with his halberd and shouted, "Back then, when we were surrounded and killed by the barbarians, it was the Red Beacon Army who risked their lives and rushed for a day and a night to save us."

"We are an auxiliary army, and we are often short of weapons and food, but the Red Beacon Army would rather they suffer from cold and hunger than not help us."

"The Crimson Beacon Army treats us sincerely. Many of us dream of joining the Crimson Beacon Army, and we have always considered it an honor to be affiliated with the Crimson Beacon Army..."

"But now, the Crimson Beacon Army has been executed by imperial decree, and 70,000 loyal souls are buried outside Shanhe City. Can we just sit idly by?"

"Can you accept this?"

One roar was met with a thousand responses.

Countless soldiers, their faces streaked with tears, shouted in unison, "No!"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

The sound was like thunder, rolling and surging.

"No, you can't!"

"But precisely because we cannot, the Empress will also target us!"

"She showed no mercy to the 70,000 loyal souls of Chifeng, so how could she spare the lives of our 800 men?"

"We're going to die."

"Our families will definitely not have a good time either."

"The wives you marry will soon be pinned down by someone else."

"Your children will have to call someone else 'father'."

"Your parents and elders will no longer have anyone to care for them; they will only be left to suffer and wait for death."

"I ask you, are you willing to accept this?"

A voice, even more powerful than before, suddenly erupted from Yunyue.

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

Ren Tianye raised his arms and shouted, "We are not reconciled! What should we do?"

Several guerrilla generals immediately took the lead in shouting.

"That's outrageous!"

The atmosphere had reached this point, and with their chests pounding with excitement, the soldiers immediately joined in the shouting.

"Fuck them!"

"That's outrageous!"

"We've rebelled!"

Ren Tianye also raised the military tally in his hand and shouted loudly: "The court is filled with treacherous officials who have offered slanderous words that have led to the deaths of 70,000 loyal souls. How can we sit idly by?"

"We must purge those close to the emperor!"

"To vindicate the 70,000 loyal souls, and to vindicate ourselves!"

Ren Tianye did not immediately characterize the matter as "rebellion." This was something that could be understood privately, but there was no need to publicize it.

Five thousand years of history have taught him that rebellion may not necessarily end badly, but the first one to jump out will definitely die.

and so……

They publicly declared that they were not rebelling, but rather purging the court of corrupt officials!

As long as it's not a rebellion, there will be no opposition from the whole world, and there will be a chance to survive and grow stronger in the face of the behemoth that is the Great Yu Dynasty, and there will be a possibility of ascending to the world and ruling the four directions!

Thinking of this, Ren Tianye couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the ancients.

I wonder which genius came up with this idea.

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

That reason is absolutely irrefutable!

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that it's nonsense, as long as you randomly designate a few of the Empress's key ministers as treacherous officials, there will still be a large number of people willing to believe you and follow you!

After Ren Tianye determined the nature of the matter, he immediately gave his deputy Wang Ming a look. Wang Ming quickly grabbed something, held it up above his head along with the military tally.

He shouted loudly, "The seventy thousand souls who perished in Chifeng have not yet found peace. We are facing a death knell. At this critical juncture of life and death, our military advisor Zhang Wei has disregarded matters of great military importance because of his wife's anger."

"Take this command token and use it for his pleasure in the bedroom."

"Our lives hang in the balance, yet he only cares about his beautiful wife. Are our lives so worthless?"

Are we not even as good as ants?

"I could no longer tolerate this, and now... I have severed Zhang Wei's head!"

Ren Tianye smashed Zhang Wei's head off.

With a loud bang, the wooden board on the platform shook.

The audience was stunned.

Zhang Wei's personal guards immediately rioted.

Is Zhang Canjun dead?

Yes, if Zhang Canjun hadn't died, how could Ren Tianye have obtained the military seal?

We need to take action now.

At first glance, however, they found that the people standing around them were all the guerrilla general's confidants, surrounding them completely.

Even worse, the soldiers around them surged like a tidal wave, eyeing them menacingly.

They knew this was because Zhang, the military advisor, had a history of arbitrarily punishing people because of his wife's affairs, and had lost the support of the people.

Normally, the official's authority would suppress the crowd, and no one would dare to do anything. But now that the Red Beacon Army had been annihilated, and Ren Tianye was raising his arms and shouting, the situation was completely different.

They stood there, unsure whether to move or not.

Ren Tianye never considered wiping out all his personal guards. There were nearly two hundred of them, all elites. He only had a few men under his command.

Killing these two hundred people is no different from cutting off one's own arm.

So he continued to hold up the military tally and shouted, "Zhang Wei is dead. I am the commander-in-chief. As long as my brothers are willing to follow me to seek justice from the court, I will treat them as my own brothers."

"Are you willing to follow me?"

The crowd immediately shouted in unison.

Amidst the rising waves of shouts, the guards, whether forced or involuntarily, joined in the shouting.

"I am willing to follow the general!"

"We are willing to follow the general, even unto death!"

Ren Tianye shouted, "Okay!"

"Now, I hereby order everyone to immediately return to their respective camps, pack their belongings, have a hearty meal, and soon I will lead you all..."

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

The crowd shouted in unison again, "Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"Purge the court of corrupt officials!"

With overwhelming momentum!

The sound resounded through the heavens!

Ren Tianye nodded in satisfaction.

The tide has turned!

He turned and went back to his tent!
