"As expected, we've still come to this." Zhang Beichen had been juggling outside and developing. After going through many difficulties, he finally took down Yiju and was known as 'King Yiju'.
Now, his card attributes had already risen from a purple card to a gold card.
[King Yiju: Zhang Beichen]'s skin attributes were also very good. His reputation increased by 1000 points, his luck increased by 100 points, his martial arts attack power increased by 10%, and his military attack power increased by 10%.
Furthermore, King Yiju's skin had an exclusive skill.
[First Mount]: When using a Mount, speed increases by 5% and a 5% armor-piercing effect on enemies.
His skin was very strong, and so were his soldiers.
But after all, they were outnumbered by the enemy. Under such circumstances, it was an unwise choice to fight the enemy head-on.
But in order to save Wei Yao, Zhang Beichen had to make this decision that went against the common sense of military law.
[You fought with the allied forces of the other countries outside the capital of Wei. Although your army was very brave, they were still no match for the other party. You entered the Wei Palace with a body full of injuries and finally met the empress of Kingdom Wei.]
...
"Zhang Beichen!" Wei Yao looked at the man in front of her, and her heart was moved.
Zhang Beichen's body was covered in blood, his armor was broken, and there was no intact skin on his body! He was trembling as he walked, and it was obvious that his body could not support him anymore.
"My King! Please forgive me for being late, my King!" Zhang Beichen shouted with difficulty.
"How can there be such a man in this world? You are willing to go to this extent for me!" Wei Yao's heart was trembling.
She was two years younger than Ying Yiren and was still a youthful girl dreaming of love. She had once dreamed of a hero who could save her from a desperate situation!
And now, this person had appeared!
"I was wrong, Zhang Beichen. I shouldn't have wronged you! Uwaa, don't die!" Wei Yao couldn't help but step forward to support him.
However, Zhang Beichen's breathing was getting weaker and weaker. He forced a smile and said, "My King, do not be sad. Victory and defeat are common in the military. In our next life, we'll build a great cause together!"
After that, Zhang Beichen died.
Seeing Zhang Beichen die in her arms, Wei Yao's mentality completely collapsed.
"Uwaa, it's all my fault. Zhang Beichen, don't die, I order you to come back to life! Do you hear that?!"
In the midst of Wei Yao's cries, the enemy forces entered the capital and surrounded her.
Wei Yao's face was miserable. She knew her ending. In order not to be humiliated by the enemy, Wei Yao pulled out Zhang Beichen's sword and stabbed it into her chest.
"Zhang Beichen, I'm going to accompany you. Next time, I won't let you down!" Wei Yao lay in a pool of blood, still holding onto Zhang Beichen tightly when she died.
The simulation was not over yet. The situation of the various kingdoms was still being decided, but Wei Yao no longer had the mood to watch the battle.
She sat on the bed in a daze and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. "Why is there seawater in my eyes?"
...
"The empress of Kingdom Wei is actually not bad. It's just that she's easily swayed by slanderous talk, and her capable subordinates are disobedient, while those who are not capable occupy high positions." Zhang Beichen felt that it was a pity. With how Kingdom Wei started out, they could have achieved so much more.
He continued to watch the battle. Right now, out of the seven kingdoms, Wei and Han had already been destroyed, and their territories were split up by the other five kingdoms.
Kingdom Qin had a chance to breathe and develop, and Ying Yiren's power continued to grow.
As for the other kingdoms, Kingdom Zhao was attacked by Kingdom Wei and its vitality was damaged, so it was quickly targeted by the other kingdoms.
Kingdom Chu sent troops to attack Kingdom Zhao. Kingdom Zhao asked for help from the other kingdoms, but they didn't help. Instead, they attacked together and divided Kingdom Zhao's territory.
After a few years, Kingdom Qin and Kingdom Qi destroyed Kingdom Yan. Only Qin, Chu, and Qi were left to fight for hegemony.
These three kingdoms were powerful, and their strengths were constantly changing. The weaker ones would form an alliance, while the stronger ones would not be taken down.
This process repeated until the deduction time reached 100 years. The simulator showed: "100 years have passed. The simulation is over."
"The simulation only lasts a hundred years?" Zhang Beichen recalled that when he was assisting Ying Yiren, their child, the next Qin Emperor, was also killed around this time.
The simulator didn't give any explanation. Instead, a notification popped up. [This simulation has ended. The calculation has started.]
[Simulation Evaluation: Failed. You held a military position in Wei, but you didn't get along with the general and the courtiers. You had no hope of promotion and even bore a crime. Even after becoming King of Yiju, you still can't turn the situation around.]
[Simulation Reward: Riding mastery, basic martial arts, basic military tactics. A small ball of spiritual energy.]
A stream of information entered Zhang Beichen's brain. He had already mastered the knowledge and skills of an ordinary general.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy also enriched his cultivation. Zhang Beichen only felt that the spiritual liquid in his body was even richer.
...
[Simulation Evaluation: Failed. As a monarch, you couldn't choose the capable, you couldn't balance the power in the country, and you listened to the slanderous talk and force away good generals. You're really a mediocre monarch.]
[Simulation Reward: Related memory, a small ball of spiritual energy.]
Wei Yao also received her own simulation evaluation, and the evaluation was full of harsh criticisms.
When she looked back at the scenes in the simulated time and space, especially the scene when Zhang Beichen came to save her, she still couldn't suppress her emotions.
"Zhang Beichen, let's do this one more time. I'll definitely pamper you!" Wei Yao wasn't willing to give up and asked the simulator, "Can the simulation be restarted?"
[Simulator: No kingdom with the potential to unify the world has appeared in this simulation. The simulation can be restarted.]
Hearing this, Wei Yao's expression brightened, "That's great! I still have a chance!"
...
The simulation started again, and just like the previous round, Wei Yao started to draw cards crazily. Because Zhang Beichen's initial card was a blue card, the probability of her drawing his card was still relatively high, so she drew Zhang Beichen again.
Just like before, she had to make arrangements for Zhang Beichen.
"He joined the army in the last round, but General Pang Ming didn't like Zhang Beichen, so he couldn't make a name for himself in the Wei army!" Wei Yao thought about it, "Then I'll let him be the courtier for this round. With my protection, despicable people can't attack him!"
[You have appointed Zhang Beichen as a mid-level public official in charge of the appointment and removal of mid-level and small officials.]
[Prime Minister Gongzi Jiu believes that Zhang Beichen has no background or reputation, so he is not qualified to be a public official.]
A mid-level public official was already a very high official position. Above that were senior public officials and a Minister.
"Gongzi Jiu, you might as well blame someone and run. You run away every time we encounter danger. How can you talk about Zhang Beichen?" When she saw Gongzi Jiu's letter, Wei Yao was furious. If Gongzi Jiu wasn't a member of the royal family, she really wanted to strangle this guy to death right from the start!
[You suppressed the impeachment of Gongzi Jiu and the other officials and forced Zhang Beichen to become a mid-level public official. This caused the court officials to be dissatisfied. They began to deliberately go against Zhang Beichen.]
"All of you want to ascend to the heavens, right? I said that I will protect Zhang Beichen for the rest of my life!" Wei Yao's stubbornness surfaced. She didn't care about comforting or mediating the officials. As long as someone wrote a petition against Zhang Beichen, she would punish them. At the very least, she would scold them a little. At the very worst, she would demote them or even dismiss them!
[The officials see that you're biased towards Zhang Beichen, so they don't dare to submit a petition anymore.]
...
"This empress of Kingdom Wei..." Zhang Beichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the message. It was a good thing that the empress of Kingdom Wei wanted to use him, but such a biased attitude also made many enemies for him, making it difficult for him.
"Forget it, I'll still have to rely on myself." Zhang Beichen started to think about how to make Kingdom Wei stronger and then unify the world.
