C541: No one will be able to use me when I rule.
Emperor Shunwu was almost furious with such words.
What he needed now was a general who could command the three armies, not some vanguard.
"Does the mighty Da Shun Dynasty have no one worthy besides the Mo Family People and General Jin?"
In fact, Emperor Shunwu was well aware of the situation, although he was somewhat incompetent and foolish, he knew the true colors of the people under him.
When Emperor Shunwu said this, the entire court of civil and military officials fell silent.
They initially thought that this time Emperor Shunwu would fly into a rage, but he did not.
He looked towards Nan Yu, who was standing in the front, and asked in a lowered voice, "What do you think about pardoning the Mo Family and letting Mo Jiuye lead the troops in the northwest?"
Nan Yu...
He wanted that too!
But no one understood Mo Jiuye's thoughts better than him, he had tried to probe this matter several times, but Mo Jiuye had completely lost faith in the court.
Now that there was no one else to use, they remembered him again.
"Your Majesty, your son believes that Mo Jiuye will not agree."
"Why not? As a subject of Da Shun, when Da Shun is in trouble, should he not devote himself completely to serving the country?
Moreover, I can pardon the Mo Family's crimes, isn't that enough?"
Emperor Shunwu did not know about the relationship between Nan Yu and Mo Jiuye, he was only thinking from the perspective of an emperor.
In his view, regardless of who it was, they were all subjects of Da Shun.
Any subject of Da Shun who dared to disobey him was tantamount to rebellion.
Nan Yu also hoped that the Mo Family People could lead troops to suppress the barbarians, but as Mo Jiuye's close friend and even brother, he would never force this upon him.
"Your Majesty, let me be frank, when the Mo Family was exiled to the northwest, your son encountered them by chance.
At that time, your son saw with his own eyes that the women of the Mo Family were dressed in rags, like beggars, being escorted by officials.
Along the way, they not only had to sleep rough, but also had to face assassins sent by the Empress and the Xue Family from time to time.
No matter who it was, after experiencing such unjust treatment, they would likely become discouraged and lose heart.
Moreover, as far as your son knows, the Mo Family has already started living a self-sufficient life like ordinary people in the northwest, indicating that they have completely lost faith in the court."
What Nan Yu said was not entirely true, when he first saw Mo Jiuye, he did not appear as impoverished and miserable as he described, but in front of Emperor Shunwu, he had to say it this way.
The purpose of saying this was to make Emperor Shunwu deepen his understanding, lest he continue to punish the Mo Family in anger, which would be counterproductive.
The entire Mo Family was wrongfully exiled and suffered so much, anyone would have lost the desire to serve the court.
Although he said this to Emperor Shunwu, Nan Yu had not abandoned the idea of persuading Mo Jiuye to lead troops to suppress the barbarians.
