Chapter 562: The end of Da Situ
The queen's brother already knew about the deal between his sister and the king, and seeing that the funeral was in order, he thought that the king was still a man who missed his old love, so he made up his mind to go all out to solve the rebellion in the west thing.
When it comes to wives and concubines, men can always sympathize with each other. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with the monarch favoring the concubine more. Instead, he feels that his sister's jealousy has caused him to die young, which is very unworthy.
Da Si Li’s connections and strength were inherited by the queen’s brother. After he went to quell the chaos, the situation in the west was quickly stabilized.
A group of leaders were beheaded, and other followers were pardoned. Food, cloth, and medicine were also distributed as favors, and the rebels gradually dispersed.
These people only rebelled because they had no way to make a living. Now that they can save their lives, of course they will no longer support those rebels.
The officials who suppressed the banditry are also actively organizing the left-behind women and children to do farming so that there will be no problem with food next year.
The news that the banditry was over has relieved the monarch. This is enough to prove that he can still solve these problems and does not necessarily have to rely on Da Situ.
The monarch still has an advantage over his ministers. While Da Situ was pretending to be ill, the monarch had already purged his party members in the court.
Many people couldn't bear it and dared to rush to Da Situ's mansion and ask him to go to court to discuss matters, otherwise they would not even be able to save their lives.
Da Situ did not expect that the monarch would be so brave. Thinking of the situation of the battle, he said with hatred: "That woman really gave him so much courage."
"Then what should we do now?"
< br>"First send a message to the army and let her suffer a few defeats. We will use this as an excuse to ask the monarch to recall her and replace her with our own people. Now there is a chance to turn around."
These people still couldn't bear the thought of harming their own soldiers, but compared with their own power and wealth, they were still cruel.
Only one official felt that it was very inappropriate. He was very patriotic. He took refuge with Da Situ because he felt that it was ridiculous for the monarch to let a woman lead the army in battle, which reflected the monarch's ignorance.
At that time, the official felt that in this situation, Da Situ, who had devoted himself to the country for many years, would be more considerate of the country, so he sided with Da Situ.
But now it is clear that under the leadership of the Queen, the war is about to be won and the territory can be expanded, but Da Situ ordered people to enter the army to frame him and destroy the names of the Xi Kingdom soldiers. This is too much.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he secretly entered the palace that night and reported it to the king.
The king sneered, "He is really crazy." He immediately sent a message to Xiaobai to remind her to take precautions.
The helpless thing is that he knew that Da Situ wanted to harm people, but he had no real evidence and could not take action against Da Situ. He also did not know that those people in the army were under his influence. There was no other way except telling Xiaobai. .
Xiaobai only replied that she had ways to deal with these people. Then several games were set up, real and fake, and they deceived Da Situ and Xu Guo.
Let the generals of Xu Kingdom think that Da Situ sent people to deliberately spread false messages in order to defeat their army and annex Xu Kingdom.
In a rage, he announced to the world the letters that Da Situ had exchanged with Xu Guo over the years. Not only the recent letters, but also when the late king was still alive, they had exchanged secret letters. Da Situ revealed a lot The secrets of Xi Country.
In fact, this matter is not surprising. Senior officials do not really want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. They will communicate privately for convenience and mutual benefit, and will not really lead to the subjugation of the country.
But the ordinary people would not understand such a complicated matter. They only thought that Da Situ was a spy of the Xu Kingdom and came to their country to carry out conspiracies. They demanded that the king immediately behead Da Situ in public.
Just imagine, his daughter is still the queen mother, gave birth to a prince, and now inherits the throne. How ridiculous is this?
Not only the Great Situ, but also the Queen Mother is facing an identity crisis. If the leader of the country, Benre, shows mercy, there is a risk of being questioned as treason.
What worries the monarch even more is that someone will use this name to force him to give up the throne, and the country that was finally stable will fall into turmoil again.
The monarch immediately issued an order to arrest Da Situ, put the Queen Mother under house arrest in the palace, and announced to the world to investigate the matter thoroughly, saying that he must give an explanation to the people of Xi Country.
The Queen Mother invited the monarch to come to her palace. He sighed and wanted to explain his situation clearly to the Queen Mother.
But the Queen Mother questioned her as soon as she spoke, "Is all this a trap set up by you and that little bitch? You actually hate us so much. Did she bewitch you or cast an evil spell? I It was your mother who helped you ascend to the throne. How could you do this to me and my father?”
The king was not happy to be scolded so harshly. He was used to it. He was so powerful that he could not let his mother scold him like before, so he said coldly: "Queen Mother, Da Situ sent people to interfere with the war and wanted our army to lose the battle. This is clear and irrefutable.
Not talking about the letters he exchanged with Xu Guo, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is treason. Did he sacrifice the lives of our soldiers in this way?
What if Xu Guo? What if we take the opportunity to increase our troops and attack the royal capital? At that time, Da Situ can still rely on his many years of friendship to serve as a minister in the Xu Kingdom, and I, the king, will have no choice but to commit suicide and apologize to my ancestors."
This time. The words were very serious, and the Queen Mother turned pale, "How can we reach the point of subjugating the country? You know your grandpa would not do this."
"The war situation is unpredictable. If there is a slight disadvantage, the situation will be completely reversed. Why does Da Situ think he can control it? When he wrote the letter, he thought it would be foolproof, but now he is being reviled by the whole country.
Every day, people submit tens of thousands of letters asking me to punish the traitors. , I can't save myself now, what else can I do if I don't do this? "Can you think about it for me?"
The Queen Mother sat on the ground, "Is it really impossible to save Da Situ's life?" "
The monarch sighed. After all, he couldn't bear his mother to be so sad. "The public opinion is so fierce that I am already very reluctant to save your life. Do you know?"
The Queen Mother felt a little relieved when she heard that her son was still trying his best to protect himself. Fortunately, this son was not raised in vain and she cared about him.
The action just now was mainly to test his attitude. In fact, the Queen Mother also knew that her father would not be alive in the current situation.
"Mother, take care of yourself so that I can handle political affairs with peace of mind. I will try my best to save the lives of my cousins."
After he walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace, his face was expressionless. This time It was Da Situ who was seeking death on his own, what did it have to do with him?
Three days later, the monarch ordered the beheading of Great Situ and his companions, and the nine tribes were demoted to common people and exiled.
In such an environment of public opinion, exile was almost the same as death. Soon it was reported that the descendants of Great Situ and other clans were massacred, and "the traitors cut off their descendants" were left on the scene. Words like that.
Many people in the country praise the murderer as a chivalrous person who eliminates harm for the country. The Queen Mother in the palace heard the bad news and fell ill.
The king was still not so cruel. Before Da Situ was imprisoned, he hid a pregnant concubine in the royal capital. She was not exiled with the others.
After he learned about this, he did not kill him, but directly sent the person to the palace and raised him, as if his mother's heart had been fulfilled, and his filial piety was fulfilled.
One month later, Xiaobai directly captured the capital of Xu Kingdom and beheaded the king of Xu Kingdom. When the news came, the whole country celebrated.
As a result, the territory of Xi Kingdom doubled, becoming the strongest country, and the king became a well-deserved overlord.
Xiaobai sent a message stating that the king could now rush to the border to receive the surrendered soldiers, and that it was time to consider moving the capital.
Originally, the capital was located in the heart of Xi Kingdom. Now that the territory has increased, the capital seems to be a bit out of the way, which is not conducive to the management of the country.
The former third prince and now the king read the letter many times and felt that it was such a right choice for him to take Xiaobai away from the offering and make her his wife.
What the late king wanted most was to expand his territory and leave his name in history. He even lost his life in order to achieve a goal.
Now, what he has gained is the entire Xu Kingdom, and his name must be in the history books.
Although Xu Kingdom was conquered by Xiaobai, such things are recorded in the name of the monarch, and the achievements of female generals are mostly recorded as anecdotes.
Tang Yue did not follow him to the battlefield this time. Xiaobai is already very strong and does not need her much.
Looking up at the real tree, the flowers had faded and little fruits had grown. They were very cute. She felt that the dream was about to end soon.
