The sudden greeting made all the civil and military officials who were about to die among the big guys be stunned for a moment. When he saw Zhao Rui and Sima Wu appearing here together, he was immediately startled.
No one expected that King Zhao of Dashang would condescend to see them in prison.
Chen He did not look back, still looking righteous and awe-inspiring as he prepared to die.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao has arrived in person, so my deadline has come! But I want to ask His Highness King Zhao something. My family does not serve in Peng Wei, they are just ordinary people. I hope your Highness can let it go.
them!"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Looking at Chen He, he looked determined to die.
"Old Prime Minister Chen, I am not here to kill you today, but I want to ask you to come out for the innocent people of Peng Wei!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen He was slightly moved and looked at Zhao Rui with a surprised look.
In the past year or so, the merchant army's fighting style has gradually become more fierce. The soldiers are beheaded to mark their merits, so every battle is almost a massacre of troops!
In the previous Battle of Danyang, as well as the all-out war with Peng Wei in the past few days, every time the battle report came back, it was reported that tens of thousands of Peng Wei's troops had been beheaded!
In Chen He's view, such a fierce army would definitely carry out massacres after entering cities and villages.
As the supreme commander of Dashang's army, King Zhao must also be a cruel man, and he might order the massacre of the city.
But now Zhao Rui is standing in front of him, and even asks him to come out of Peng Wei on the grounds that he is an innocent citizen.
"Your Highness, you mean that the people of Peng Wei are still there?" Chen He asked inexplicably.
These words confused Zhao Rui: "Of course I am! Is it possible that I will still massacre my own people?"
Chen He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that Dashang is the suzerain state of the princes in the world, and the common people in the world are equivalent to the subjects of Dashang.
So how could a great merchant massacre his own people?
After figuring this out, Chen He's state of mind changed subtly.
However, he was still a little unsure. He took two steps forward and stared at Zhao Rui with a strange look.
"My king has offended Emperor Shang, how could your majesty let Peng Wei off so easily?"
Zhao Rui laughed twice.
"The emperor of Dashang is not that narrow-minded. This time he led his troops to conquer Peng Wei in the south, just because the prince's war surrounded General Wu Ying and three thousand feather guards for no reason!"
"Your Majesty just wants the prince to be punished. At the same time, he also wants to ask King Peng Wei how he has been running the country in these years? How did such a powerful country in the Central Plains become like this!"
When the Peng Wei officials present heard these words, they immediately felt a little worthless. It was really aggrieved to die for such a country, such a king and a prince.
Chen He was also in a trance and was speechless for a long time.
When he became the Prime Minister of Peng Wei, he wanted to use his abilities to make the people live a good life.
In the past thirty years, he has been working conscientiously, and the entire Peng Wei has prospered under his governance.
It's a pity that there is such a king in the stall, who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun all day long and does not care about political affairs.
Although Prince Zhan was very caring, what he did was simply nonsense and was entirely to satisfy his own selfish desires.
