From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 967

Park Jung-won finally couldn't hold on. He didn't even take a day to think about it before he agreed to surrender.

Because he knew the weight of the blood letter of the people.

For people who were starving and cold, every drop of blood was as precious as life.

He couldn't hold on.

The position he defended had no foundation.

So the city gates opened wide, and the 20,000 defenders, led by him, walked out of the city in an orderly manner.

They put their weapons on the ground, took off their armor, lowered their heads and said nothing.

Zhou Yuan immediately said: "Virgin sister, hurry up, it's your turn to take action."

The flag of the Lee Dynasty was raised high, and Li Yu'an rode out with a group of old ministers.

They arrived in front, got off their horses, and looked at the 20,000 defenders kneeling on the ground.

The snow fell on them, and they were motionless, like sculptures.

Li Yu'an took a deep breath, exerted his internal strength, and shouted: "Stand up!"

The 20,000 defenders were all confused and stood up one after another.

Li Yu'an said: "You don't need to kneel, because you have made contributions."

"In this war-torn era, you have protected the people of Pyongyang."

"You are not rebels, you are not surrendered generals, you are soldiers who are loyal to the people and care about the people!"

Li Yu'an remembered Zhou Yuan's instructions very clearly.

The junior nephew said that Park Jeong-won was an outstanding general who ruled his subordinates in a proper way and enforced his orders. As long as Park Jeong-won could be controlled, these soldiers could be controlled.

So, these words were essentially said to Park Jeong-won.

After making a complex decision, this general needed basic respect to strengthen his heart.

Li Yu'an walked to Park Jeong-won and helped him up with his own hands.

She said solemnly: "General Park, I thank you on behalf of the suffering people in the north, and on behalf of the people in Goryeo who are living a life worse than death."

"You did not choose to be an accomplice, you chose to be a hero, you treated them as human beings, and were willing to give them a way out."

"I believe that everyone will remember this incident and your contribution."

Park Jung-won opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. It was just opening the city, what kind of contribution was it?

But he inexplicably felt a little sour in his nose.

Li Yu-an said: "This city gate is not only a passage to Pyongyang, but also a door of conscience, a door of peace, and a door of justice."

"General, please come in with me, we will fight side by side to create a peaceful world and let our people live like human beings."

This last sentence almost ignited Park Jung-won's heart.

He stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I...I...I am willing to serve the princess at all costs! I will never regret it even if I die!"

"As long as...as long as Goryeo can get better!"

Li Yu'an said, "It will definitely get better. I have been working hard for this all my life, and now we are about to achieve it."

She held Park Jung-won's wrist and shouted, "Let's go! Enter the city with me!"

So, a princess of the previous dynasty and a general of this dynasty strode towards Pyongyang City.

Until this moment, Zhou Yuan's hanging heart finally let go.

Pyongyang is particularly important for the entire Goryeo.

Occupying this place, the Virgin Sister can be said to have a real foundation and a kingly demeanor.

Zhou Yuan and Guan Lu looked at each other and also entered the city with their personal guards.

When they came to the tower, they saw that Park Jung-won had already held the flag of the Lee Dynasty.

He waved it vigorously and sent out flag signals.

The 20,000 soldiers below immediately knelt down.

So, Park Jung-won also knelt down and said loudly: "From today on, I will be the subject of the eldest princess and the soldier of the Lee Dynasty!"

Li Yu'an's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Park Jung-won!"

"I will be here!"

Li Yu'an said: "I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Lee Dynasty and the General of the Rebellion. While guarding Pyongyang, you will follow me and the Jin Allied Forces to destroy the Jin Dynasty, expel the island bandits, and create a peaceful world!"

Park Jung-won's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I obey your orders!"

"Hold a meeting! Discuss matters!"

After she finished speaking, she winked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "General Park, you have to arrange a palace for the eldest princess. We need to discuss the next plan, and you have to participate."

Park Jung-won immediately led everyone down the tower and came to the official residence in Pyongyang City.

A meeting, only four people

The eldest princess of the Lee Dynasty, Lee Ok-an, the Grand Marshal of the Army, Park Jeong-won, the Prime Minister, Seo Min-soon, and Zhou Yuan, the foreign aid of the Jin Dynasty.

Seo Min-soon is an old minister of the Lee Dynasty. He was the Right Prime Minister more than 20 years ago. It is not easy for him to survive until he is 70 years old.

The royal family, civil officials, and military officials are all here, and the basic structure is developed from this.

But the four people are very clear that they cannot make the decision in this battle, it is Zhou Yuan who makes the decision.

"Pyongyang is a big city with a population of more than 300,000. It is the political and economic center of northern Goryeo. Even after so many wars and lootings, there are still aristocratic families."

Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary measures should be used. General Park should summon the heads of major families and ask them to donate their property to support the people and soldiers."

Park Zhengyuan was a little confused. The aristocratic families are the foundation of the dynasty. Asking them to donate their property is like asking for their lives, right?

"General Park, don't you understand yet? At this moment, Goryeo is already in deep darkness."

"It's too dark, we don't have the energy to distinguish who is who, in our eyes everyone is a Goryeo citizen."

"Money needs to be spent by everyone, food needs to be eaten by everyone, otherwise nothing will be accomplished."

"Your 20,000 soldiers also need food, countless people also need food, and the Lee Dynasty needs food even more."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Their wealth comes from the flesh and blood of the people, it's time to pay it back!"

"Hand over everything, you can exchange your life."

Li Yu'an also said in a deep voice: "After so many years of tyranny, they should also pay for this world and here. The people have to pay something."

"Five thousand troops guard Pyongyang, and the remaining fifteen thousand will march to Seoul to recapture our capital!"

Park Jung-won immediately said: "I obey your order!"

Li Yu-han smiled and said: "Let your soldiers put on armor, pick up weapons, and fight for the country."

Park Jung-won immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Highness, within two days, all the noble families in Pyongyang must donate all their property!"

Li Yu-han said: "Xu Yi-jeong, you are a civil official, you have to help General Park count the data of various lists for subsequent distribution and arrangement."

"I obey your order,"

One civil and one military, the two ministers strode out.

Pyongyang is about to change again.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Yu'an, and said with a smile: "Finally, we have a real team."

Li Yu'an couldn't help but say: "Park Jung-won is really good! I didn't expect your tongue to be so effective. It really turned him around."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said: "Aren't you very clear whether it works or not?"

"You are so annoying. Don't say that."

Li Yu'an couldn't help but hug him and said with a giggle: "We have soldiers in the Lee Dynasty. With your army, we can definitely recover Goryeo legitimately."

Zhou Yuan said: "No We are not here for a tragic victory, but for a comprehensive victory. "

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "I know, I will listen to you."

She seemed to remember something, turned to look at Zhou Yuan, and said, "I didn't expect that in your heart, Sabdan, Huang Taiji and McPherson are also heroes."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "No! That's just an objective statement! And it's inappropriate!"

"Objectively speaking, McPherson is not a hero. He is for wealth and interests. He represents "The ruling class" "Sabdan and Huang Taiji are for their ethnic groups. For their people, they are naturally heroes. "" For his own compatriots, for the interests of the vast majority of people, fight hard, no matter what the result is, it is a hero. "Zhou Yuan laughed:" Yeah! " Shock my head: "I don't have such a high pattern. I just struggle for my fellow citizens. Other bird men, close my fart." Li Yu said: "You don't even count, who is it?" Zhou Yuan didn't laugh. He touched the Virgin Sister's head and said softly, "Someone calculated it."
