Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 866

She couldn't interfere in government affairs, but she could consult the Empress Dowager.

At that time, she thought that the Empress Dowager liked her and would listen to her, but now she realized that she was treated as a mascot.

Since it was the mascot who said this, the Queen Mother had to think about it.

Later, Zhou Heng's death sentence was changed to imprisonment, and his life was saved, while the entire Zhou family was exiled from the capital.

Later, when Empress Jingde was helping Emperor Rongguang handle government affairs, she proposed to reinstate Zhou Heng, which made Emperor Rongguang furious.

Empress Jingde was therefore sent to the cold palace.

As soon as Empress Dowager Huizheng came to power, she sent people to bring General Zhou out of prison and reinstated him to his original post, making him the defender of Jiangcheng again.

General Zhou's wife and children also followed him from his place of exile to Jiangcheng.

Until the "Wucheng Black Tragedy" occurred, Jiangcheng was attacked from all sides.

Lack of people, food, water and weapons. This was the difficult situation that General Zhou faced.

General Zhou's son Zhou Weijiang went alone to seek help, borrow soldiers and food, but was rejected every time.

The garrison generals or officials in the nearby cities surrendered one after another, and some even planned to capture Zhou Weijiang and present him to the enemy as a token of his surrender.

When Zhou Weijiang cleverly escaped, Jiang Cheng was still struggling with the weak force led by his father.

Both father and son were determined to die.

By the time the imperial reinforcements arrived, Jiangcheng had already been captured.

It is said that General Zhou died with his eyes open.

He watched the city gate being broken open and the soldiers and civilians falling one after another.

He rushed down the city wall with a big knife in hand, roaring and fighting with the enemy, and was stabbed several times. The last knife was his own throat that killed him.

He couldn't die at the hands of the enemy. If he had to die, he had to do it by his own actions.

General Zhou's son, Zhou Weijiang, was hit by eight arrows in the face and several arrows in the body, but he remained standing.

The enemy thought it was a scarecrow.

This is described in detail in "Records of Mountains and Rivers of Beiyi", which was spoken personally by Yan Xingchen after he visited the people who luckily survived.

At the end of "Records of Mountains and Rivers of the Northern Wing", it is written that the sentence that General Zhou said most every day was that the court would not give up Jiangcheng! The court's reinforcements would arrive soon.

General Zhou's son Zhou Weijiang encountered obstacles everywhere and silently endured the grievances that he should not have endured.

Zhou and his son will always be great defenders in the hearts of the people of Jiangcheng. Although they did not defend Jiangcheng, they firmly defended the hearts of the people.

Because the people firmly believed that the court would not abandon them! The court would definitely send troops to rescue them.

Shi Anxia felt extremely guilty about the loss of Jiangcheng.

But there was no other way. The imperial court needed a victory to calm the people. She had to ensure the strength and food for the Lubei battle. Nothing could go wrong.

The news of Lu Bei's victory and the fall of Jiangcheng were reported to the palace almost one after the other, and Shi Anxia was deeply saddened.

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh! The joy of victory made her shed excited tears; she cried like rain for the loss of Jiangcheng and General Zhou, the people who fought to the last moment.

If it were to happen again... Shi Anxia might still make the same choice. Ensuring Lu Bei's victory is the key to saving the North Wing.

But the situation is so good now! This is the real start over.

This is not the rebirth of any one person, but the rebirth of the mountains and rivers of Beiyi, the rebirth of loyal ministers and generals, and the rebirth of thousands of people.

This is Fengnu’s mission and the meaning of rebirth.

In this life, there was no need to make any choices. Shi Anxia only needed to stand up, walk slowly towards Emperor Mingde hand in hand with her husband, and kneel down to beg for mercy, "Father, I am willing to ask for mercy for Zhou Weijiang of the Imperial College..."
