Upon hearing Zhao Tuo’s words of offence, Qin Shi Huang, however, only said blandly.
“General Zhao was commissioned in a time of crisis, leading the army to save the tide, and after that, he even stabilised that Baiyue, adding a few more counties to the boundaries of Great Qin.”
“To put it mildly, I have let you keep guarding the barbaric land, and I have treated you poorly.”
These words were not made up by him, the commander of the Qin army at that time was not Zhao Tuo, but Tu Suo, and the Qin army was greatly blocked at that time.
After three great battles before and after, the situation was finally stabilised by Zhao Tuo.
That’s why the leaders of all villages in the Hundred Vietnams obeyed his orders.
This is all the prestige that comes from killing!
That’s why the other party’s credit is unquestionable.
Hearing Qin Shi Huang’s words, Zhao Tuo’s heart was both a little proud and ashamed, and more than that, he was terrified, and he didn’t even dare to raise his head as he continued to kneel on the ground and said.
“It is a vassal’s honour to open up the borders for the country, how can I hold myself in credit for this!”
Only then did Emperor Qin Shi Huang look at the other party and faintly said.
“If that’s the case, then why are you pleading guilty?”
Hearing the question Zhao Tuo for a moment but didn’t know how to answer, the
Could it be to directly admit that he has an insubordinate heart?
This is a great offence that will destroy nine clans!
If one could use other excuses to put off the other party, once the other party uncovered it, it would also be a great offence to exterminate the nine clans!
Don’t look at just Qin Shi Huang and his own daughter laughing and talking, seemingly also want to let the other party as a daughter-in-law, but once they convicted.
The other party will not have the slightest psychological barrier to kill his own daughter, and the nine clans!
For a moment he was caught in a dilemma, the struggle in his heart was even more extremely intense, and when he thought of the most intense time, he even wanted to rise up and kill someone!
As a military general, he thought that his hands were still extremely high.
But as long as he used his toes to think about it, he also knows that I am afraid that he has not yet risen up to have been shot by an arrow through the heart!
He wouldn’t believe that there were no guards in the curtain behind His Majesty.
But what could he do?
It was a good thing that his face was facing downwards all the time, which made it hard to see his complexion.
But Zhao Gao on the side coldly looked at the other party’s shivering body and was ready to respond.
The entire carriage fell into a calm, yet extremely intense atmosphere.
Only Emperor Qin Shi Huang still had that clouded look on his face.
Eventually, just when Zhao Gao was all thinking that the other party was going to storm out and kill someone, Zhao Tuo said at this time, almost in a trembling voice.
“Your Majesty…I…”
Zhao Tuo couldn’t help but pause for a moment, and seemed to have made a final determination to continue, saying.
“I am guilty of a capital offence! I have previously failed to”
“I am guilty of death! I’ve been guilty of not”
He finally didn’t have the courage to face the other side straight on and decided to hand over his life and death.
Just without waiting for him to finish his words, Emperor Qin Shi Huang shouted out faintly at this time that
“Zhao Tuo.”
Directly interrupting the other party.
Zhao Tuo froze for a moment and returned to.
“I am here.”
Qin Shi Huang pointed to the pile of paperwork next to him and said that
“Since you arrived in the land of Baiyue, your whereabouts and actions have all been recorded, I can see your merits and naturally I won’t treat you poorly.”
“So now that you have been guarding Bai Yue for so many years, it’s time for you to be rewarded.”
“Your reward is to maintain your original position, and,”
Qin Shi Huang turned his head to Zhao Gao at this time and said.
“Take out all these papers and burn them, now.”
Zhao Gao froze for a moment, then led the way and left with the paperwork.
Within a short time he brought in a pile of ashes and said.
“Your Majesty all the paperwork has been burned.”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Tuo directly froze there, and only after a while did he slow down and say.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
After shouting Your Majesty twice, he didn’t know what to say, only that tears couldn’t stop pouring out of his eyes.
No reward was the best reward!
Half a million Qin generals, the great general guarding the land of Baiyue, at this time was like a child who had suffered a lot of aggression and finally got the understanding of his parents, sobbing silently and turning into a tearful person.
Qin Shi Huang, however, still blandly said.
“Okay, wipe your tears, what will it look like if it gets out?”
“After that put the marriage of Hei’er and Miel on the agenda, after that you are also a royal relative.”
Zhao Tuo at this time hastily wiped a handful of tears, directly performed a five-body salute and said.
“Thank you for Your Majesty’s grace!”
Qin Shi Huang did not even say anything this time, but waved his hand, so Zhao Tuo knelt and exited the carriage.
If he had submitted to Zhao Lang before, it was merely a fear of the power in the other party’s hands.
and fear of the other party’s influence amongst the ordinary soldiers.
Then to Qin Shi Huang, it was a submission that came from the depths of his heart!
Seeing this scene, the admiration of Zhao Gao’s heart for his majesty rose one more level.
Seeing this scene, the admiration of Zhao Gao’s heart for his own majesty rose one more level.
That document to spy on Zhao Tuo was naturally burnt, but who said there was only one copy?
His Majesty had spared the other party, but His Highness the Crown Prince had not.
If the other party dares to make the slightest move, His Highness the Crown Prince can make the other party lose their reputation and die without a burial place with a single piece of paper!
At this time, Zhao Tuo has already come out of the carriage, Zhao Mier who has long been waiting at the side hurriedly came over and said with extreme worry, .
“Father are you alright, why do you seem to be crying?”
“Is there something wrong, you talk to me, I’ll go beg His Majesty!”
Since she was born, not to mention, seeing her father cry, she didn’t even cry out in pain!
A true manly man.
So something must have happened!
And her own father’s movements in the land of Hundred Vietnam, she more or less also understand some, at first do not know anything, do not think there is something, this time and the Crown Prince stayed for a period of time also understand that there is something wrong.
Zhao Tuo at this time hastily said.
“Father is fine, it’s just that his majesty mentioned your marriage with imperial son Hu Hei, father is happy for you.”
He didn’t want to put any hard feelings between the other party and His Majesty.
Zhao Mier was still about to say something when Hu Hai on the side followed suit and said.
“Don’t worry, Mier, this time, Father has come specifically for me to propose marriage! Your father, not father-in-law, it’s normal to be excited.”
Hearing this aside Zhao Tuo couldn’t help but blink, he suddenly felt that Zhao Mier married Hu Hai, was he too happy too soon.
With this eyesight and heart, how did the other party get the title of king by virtue of his military achievements?
However, he quickly relieved himself, such a temperament, to be the Crown Prince of Great Qin, it would definitely be a disaster, but to be a King’s Duke is excellent.
So he smiled and said.
“To the prince is right, is too excited, to father see, you guys as soon as possible to finish the wedding.”
“Father come to give you a hundred Yue land the most grand wedding!”
“Just in time, Father also has some gifts to offer to His Majesty.”
Earlier, the headman of a village had paid tribute to a batch of cloth that couldn’t even be burnt with fire, it was extremely peculiar and His Majesty should like it.
Hu Hai nodded excitedly.
He had been waiting for this day for how long, but unfortunately, Lang was not here, but it was not a big problem, after returning to Xianyang, he would just do it again when he regained his royal title!
