The system takes the poor cub to find his father

Chapter 495 Back to the starting point

Bai Lian is right, good people always have a bad fate.

The great general who never showed up at the border, and Wu Ze, both had the same fate.

In the early days when their capital was still unstable, in order to prevent the general from defecting on the battlefield after hearing the news of the change in Kyoto,

Wu Ze planned the operation carefully and in a very secretive manner, and no news of it reached the border at all.

The general was fighting bravely against the foreign invaders on the front line, while Mingxu in Kyoto was preparing for the coronation ceremony, thinking about how to ascend the throne.

After bargaining and concessions from all parties, Mingxu's identity as the heir to the throne was finally finalized.

With Wu Ze's full assistance, Mingxu successfully took the throne.

But as soon as he gained power, he could not wait to send his trusted generals to the border without Wu Ze's knowledge, in an attempt to replace the general who supported Ming Yunqi without bloodshed and take over the army under his command.

As an emperor, he was troubled to find that the military power was in the hands of an old man who was not loyal to him.

He knew that if he told Wu Ze about this matter, Wu Ze would definitely stop him.

So he took this opportunity to try to take control of the military power in his own hands.

But unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and he did not expect that his action would sow the seeds of the destruction of Dayu.

This move was extremely stupid. It directly let the general who had been stationed at the border of Dayu know that the monarch he was loyal to had been deprived of power without a sound, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Even the two friends he had always been at odds with died so tragically. When the general learned about this, he was heartbroken, as if struck by lightning.

Just when the general was planning to lead his troops to defend the king, the foreign race launched another fierce attack.

In order to protect the people at the border, and because this was a time of foreign invasion, if he left, war would surely break out in Dayu, so he could only endure it temporarily.

But he considered the overall situation.

Not everyone is like him.

Previously, he refused to cooperate with Mingxu's confidant who was sent to take over the military power, and even killed this person, which completely angered Mingxu. In a rage, Mingxu ordered Kyoto to cut off the supply of food and grass to the border. At this time, Wu Ze was not in Kyoto and was completely unaware of Mingxu's absurd behavior.

When Wu Ze got the news and hurried back to Kyoto, everything was irreversible. The general led 50,000 soldiers to bravely fight against the foreigners in the desperate situation of lack of food. For a whole month, they blocked the foreigners' crazy siege nearly a hundred times until they were exhausted. Finally, the city gate was breached and the war quickly spread to Dayu.

The news shocked the whole country. The people could not believe that the brave and undefeated general would be breached by the foreigners. How could they know how the general managed to hold on for a month without food and water, and evacuated all the people in the border to the rear safely, and finally 50,000 soldiers died together with the foreigners, without a single survivor.

The border people who were lucky enough to survive, filled with grief and indignation, spontaneously wrote a petition of all people, detailing what they saw and heard at the border. Once the news spread, there was an uproar throughout the country. The officials of Dayu never expected that Mingxu would harm 50,000 elite soldiers at the border for his own selfish desires, causing the foreign race to march straight into Dayu. This was simply treating the lives of soldiers and civilians as a joke, and the anger of the people broke out like a surging tide, and the public was indignant.

Later, Wu Ze worked very hard and managed to balance the forces in the court and temporarily suppress the matter. However, this was just a temporary cover-up of the problem, just like a volcano that accumulates power. When the pressure reaches the limit, the earth-shaking scene when it erupts is the most terrifying.

After the invasion of the foreign race, the Great Yu Dynasty had no generals who could fight against the foreign race except the general who sacrificed himself. In desperation, Mingxu could only choose to bide his time and negotiate peace with the foreign race.

Negotiating peace naturally came at a heavy price. The five cities that were captured by the foreign race at the border of Dayu were given to them for free. In addition, Dayu had to pay the foreign race a war reparation of up to 20 million taels of silver, as well as a large amount of precious materials such as silk, satin, tea, and porcelain.

This was undoubtedly the most humiliating and cowardly war in the history of Dayu, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. However, at that time, Dayu was weak in national power and military strength. Facing the strong foreign race, it could only passively take the beating and had no power to fight back.

After receiving a large amount of war reparations, the foreign tribes were satisfied and withdrew their troops. However, they would still send troops to harass the border of Dayu from time to time every year. The people on the border were miserable and lived in dire straits.

In the fifth year after Mingxu ascended the throne, Wu Ze became seriously ill and his health deteriorated to the point where he was almost unable to get out of bed.

In the court, the officials who were originally suppressed by Wu Ze began to make moves when they saw that he was terminally ill and had no power to fight back. After Wu Ze's death, there was no force in the court that could compete with him. Mingxu's imperial power was gradually hollowed out and was heavily suppressed.

Although Mingxu has the memory of his previous life, he is just reborn, not reborn with a new body or brain. In the face of the complicated court struggles and national situation, he gradually becomes powerless. In the end, the end of the Dayu Dynasty once again follows the old path of his previous life.

The aliens launched another massive attack and conquered Kyoto. Mingxu was left with nowhere to go and chose to burn himself to death in despair.

Ming Yunqi's eyes were dark as he looked at the burning palace. The grief in his heart was as endless as the abyss. Watching the dynasty he had built being destroyed bit by bit was a heavy blow that no king could bear.

Bai Lian just looked at Ming Yunqi sympathetically, then turned his head and watched the next development intently. They all thought that the plot had come to an end, and were looking forward to seeing how the world would evolve.

However, to everyone's surprise, their vision suddenly became blurry and strange. When they opened their eyes again, they were back to the scene where Wu Ze broke into Mingxu's room and was discovered by Mingxu.

"How could this happen? How did we end up back where we started?" Bai Lian's face was full of disbelief, his voice filled with shock and confusion.

Ming Yunqi, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly became gloomy. His Great Yu Dynasty no longer exists, the ministers died or scattered, and the loyal generals were also sacrificed. Logically, after the plot is over, the world should be upgraded, but now everything has returned to the starting point.

"It seems that our original idea has been verified. The world cannot be upgraded by the power of the plot alone." Ming Yunqi took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger and unwillingness in his heart, and said slowly. They all understood that the secrets of this world were probably more complicated than they imagined...
