Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Although the armies of the two countries attacked Nan Chu, he also received news that the people in those captured cities were grateful to the armies of the two countries. The reason, of course, was that the armies of the two countries not only did not massacre the people in these cities, but also detoxified them from the puppet poison, allowing them to live like normal people, crying, laughing and thinking.

So, how could Ji Ziyang hate the enemy who attacked his country? Aren't all these instigators the two mothers and sons who were high up in the Nanchu Palace? !

It must be said that Ji Fenglin is worthy of being the Prime Minister of Southern Chu. Even though he has been in a high position for many years, he still teaches the younger generation in his family very well. It's a pity that Ji Changze is the only bad guy in the family...

Ji Ziyang's eyes were slightly red, and he felt even more sad when he felt his grandfather's weak comfort, "Grandfather, you..."

Ji Ziyang knew that his grandfather must have made a decision. Because of this, Ji Ziyang could understand that the pain in his grandfather's heart must be ten thousand times more painful than anyone else's.

The Southern Chu Kingdom has come to an end. Destruction is an inevitable outcome...

My grandfather worked hard for Nanchu all his life, but now he has to make a sacrifice in order to avoid unnecessary casualties in the resistance and to allow these people and soldiers to survive...

Grandfather is going to abandon Nanchu.

In fact, everyone understands that once the two countries' armies go to war, Liaocheng will not be able to hold out for long, and the final outcome will be the same.

But they were not willing to accept it. Although they knew that the armies of Beifeng and Donglin treated the people in the defeated cities equally and did not bully them, no one could just say that they were defeated. They were the same people as the people of every country.

At this moment, Ji Fenglin looked at the group of frightened people in front of him with a complicated expression. He sighed for a long time before speaking with difficulty: "The royal family of Nanchu is no longer the harem of Nanchu in the past..."

"The Jade Princess Chu Yu who went to Beifeng to marry many years ago was ruthless and vicious. She first used a vicious poison to control our emperor to give up the throne and pass it on to her son. She also intended to use poison to make innocent people become human shields to resist the armies of the two countries!"

"I, Ji Fenglin, was born and raised in Nanchu. I have been loyal to Nanchu all my life, but in the end I had to abandon my ancestors' foundation and live in seclusion. I dare not take credit for it and seek fame in the future, but I am not a god or saint who can effectively stop all this..."

"Chu Yu is so mad that she has taken control of the entire Nanchu royal family and even the Nanchu country! She disregards the lives of innocent people. I am willing to bear the name of treason, just to buy you a glimmer of new life!"

"Chu Yu is a tyrant and has no morals. She is not worthy of being a child of the Southern Chu royal family! Today, I, Ji Fenglin, will bear the infamy of the world alone. Let's..."

"Open the gates!"

Everyone, whether soldiers or civilians, including the children of the Ji family, who heard this, stared in amazement at the old man with white hair and beard, and whose body was so thin that he seemed like he could be blown down by a gust of wind. However, he was willing to become a "traitor" and was the first to speak up to open the city gates!

For a moment, everyone was silent, except for the sound of breathing, even the sound of the wind seemed to become quieter.

It suddenly started raining. I wonder if it was also feeling sad for the old prime minister who had dedicated his entire life to the State of Southern Chu.

He was obviously just a civil official, but what he was doing was no less difficult than the choices faced by generals on the battlefield. However, he still used his weak shoulders to carry everything for the people of Liaocheng.

These things are obviously what those in power should do, but those who play with power have given up on them long ago. However, this old man who had already resigned stood up.

I made the decision for them, a decision that made them feel ashamed and embarrassed...

Ji Fenglin's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped and flowed out violently. The three words "open the city gate" must have already made him suffer so much that he would rather die than live.

"The country is doomed. You and I are ordinary people. We can't turn the tide. Please appoint me."

"The armies of Beifeng and Donglin attacked all the way, but they never killed innocent people along the way. They even detoxified the poisoned people so that they would not really become living dead puppets..."

"You are all good men of Nanchu. Even if you have a loyal heart, you cannot defy fate. If we defend Liaocheng to the death today, it will only be a desperate resistance and cause more casualties."

"This old man... this old man feels sorry for the Southern Chu Nation!"

Everyone had mixed feelings, but when the old prime minister spoke out what was in their hearts, they all lowered their heads in shame, with no one responding and no one saying no.

But Ji Fenglin was already in tears, wetting his clothes.

Who could understand the pain in his heart? This decision was no less painful to him than tearing out his heart and liver!

Ji Fenglin looked down at the land beneath his feet. This was the root of his Ji family. But when he looked up at the frightened eyes of the people, Ji Fenglin took a deep breath and continued.

"Today's surrender is the decision of me, Ji Fenglin! You are all threatened by me, Ji Fenglin! From now on, it is me, Ji Fenglin, who will be despised by everyone in history books, and it is me, Ji Fenglin, who will be scolded as a traitor by the world!"

"None of this has anything to do with you. It's me, Ji Fenglin, who deserves this!"

"You are all good soldiers, good people, good men and good women of Nanchu. There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the country, but if the royal family is ruthless and treats everything as straw dogs, then from today on, use your full enthusiasm and undying courage to protect your families."

After he finished speaking, Ji Fenglin slowly stood up, then clasped his hands, bowed, and saluted to everyone.

"Ji Fenglin, please... open the city gates!"

Everyone knelt down with a loud bang. At this moment, they had thousands of words in their throats but could not utter a single word. What should they say?

Everything the old prime minister does and says now is for them...

At this moment, a feeling of sorrow spread throughout the entire Liao City. No one wanted to get up. How could they not understand that the old prime minister was determined to die, and opening the city gate was to save their lives!

"Grandfather..." Ji Ziyang opened his mouth, but the words that came out were extremely hoarse.

Ji Fenglin seemed to have all his strength drained away at once, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Ji Ziyang was quick to hold him up.

"Open the city gate." Ji Fenglin said weakly with his eyes closed, "Yang'er, you must take good care of the disciples in the clan... Grandfather will give you the last lesson today..."

“Be willing to give up. If you have to give up, you will gain. Don’t try to do something you know is impossible. Sometimes you may gain more by taking a step back than by charging forward fearlessly.”
