The queen's brother already knew about the deal between his sister and the king, and saw that the funeral was in order. He thought that the king was not a man who missed old friendships, so he made up his mind to go all out to solve the rebellion in the west.
When it comes to wives and concubines, men can always sympathize with each other. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with the king doting more on the concubine. Instead, he feels that his sister's jealousy has caused her to die young, which is totally 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 others who followed were pardoned. Food, cloth, and medicine were quickly distributed, and the rebels gradually dispersed.
Are those people rebelling because they have no way to make a living? If they can save their lives, of course they will no longer support those rebels.
Officials who quelled the banditry were also actively organizing the left-behind women and children to do farm work, so that there would be no problem with the food supply for the next year.
The news that the banditry was over has brought relief to the monarch. This is enough to prove that he can solve those problems and does not necessarily need to rely on Da Situ.
There is no advantage in the status of a monarch by 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 go to Da Situ's mansion and ask him to discuss matters in court as soon as possible, 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: "Did that woman really give him such courage?"
"Then what should they do now?"
"First send a message to the army and let her suffer a few defeats. They will use this as an excuse to ask the monarch to recall her and replace her with one of their own. Now she has a good chance of making a comeback."
When they think of harming their own soldiers, those people can't bear it. Compared with their own power and burden, they can't be cruel.
There was an official who felt that it was very inappropriate. He was very cruel to the country and took refuge with Situ Fu. He felt that it was ridiculous for the king to let a woman lead the army in battle, which reflected the king's ignorance.
At that time, the official felt that in that 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 the war is under the leadership of the Queen, and it is expected to win, and it is possible to expand the country, but the Great Situ ordered people to enter the army to frame him and destroy the names of the Xi Kingdom soldiers. That is too much.
The more he thought about it, the more he became uneasy, so he secretly entered the palace that night and reported it to the king.
Wang Zai sneered, "Is he really crazy?" He immediately sent a message to Xiaohong to remind her to take precautions.
He was helpless, he knew that Da Situ wanted to harm someone, but he had no real evidence, so he could not get away with it because of Da Situ, and he didn't know whether those in the army had his power, so he had no choice but to tell Xiao Hong.
Xiaohong wrote back that she had a way to deal with those people. Then she set up several games, real and fake, to deceive Da Situ and Xu Guo very much.
The generals of the Xu Kingdom were made to think that the great Situ sent people to spread false messages deliberately in order to defeat their army and annex the Xu Kingdom.
In a rage, Xiang Tiandong published the letters that Da Situ had exchanged with the Xu Kingdom over the years. Not only the recent letters, they had exchanged secret letters when the late king was still alive. Da Situ revealed many secrets of the Xi Kingdom.
thing.
In fact, this is not surprising. Senior officials do not really want to collude with the enemy and betray the country. They will communicate with each other privately to seek convenience and mutual benefit, and will not really lead to the subjugation of the country.
But ordinary people will not understand such complicated things. They should treat Da Situ as a spy of Xu State and come to their country to carry out conspiracy. I beg the king to behead Da Situ immediately and show it to the public.
Just imagine, his daughter is not the queen mother, but gives birth to a prince, and then inherits the throne tomorrow, isn't that such a ridiculous thing?
Not only did Na Dong have an identity crisis, but the Queen Mother also had an identity crisis. If I ask the Lord to show mercy to Dong, there is a risk of being accused of treason.
What worries the monarch even more is that someone will use that name to force him to give up the throne, and the country that was finally stable will fall into turmoil again.
The monarch immediately ordered to arrest the great Situ, put the Queen Mother under house arrest in the palace, and announced to Tiandong to investigate the matter thoroughly, saying that he would give an explanation to the people of the Xi Kingdom.
The Queen Mother invited the monarch to come to her palace. He sighed and wanted to beg the Queen Mother to explain his situation clearly.
But the Queen Mother questioned her as soon as she spoke, "Did all this happen because of me and that little bitch? I hate them so much. Did she trick me or cast an evil spell?"
He denied me my mother and put me on the throne, how could I be so wrong to him and his father?"
The monarch was not happy to be rebuked so harshly. He was used to being in a high and powerful position. How could he let his mother scold him like he did before? Yu Che said coldly: "The Queen Mother, Da Situ sent people to interfere with the war and wanted his army to
Defeating the battle is a matter of clear red and irrefutable proof.
Not talking about the letters he exchanged with Xu Guo, for that one incident, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was treason. Did he sacrifice the lives of his soldiers in this way?
What if the Xu Kingdom takes the opportunity to increase its troops and attack the royal capital? At that time, the Great Situ can rely on his years of friendship to become a minister of the Xu Kingdom, and his king can commit suicide and apologize to his ancestors."
Those words were very serious, and the Queen Mother's face turned red. "How could we possibly end the country? I know my grandpa would not do that."
"The war situation is unpredictable. If there is any disadvantage, the situation will be completely reversed. Why does Da Situ think that he can control it? When he wrote the letter, he felt that it would be foolproof, but Ruming was reviled by the whole country in the east.
Every day, people are submitting letters from tens of thousands of people, begging me to kill the traitors of the country. If I am like Ming, I can't save myself. If I don't do it, what will I do? Can you think about it for him?"
The Queen Mother slipped to the ground and said, "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 raging, and I have been very reluctant to protect your life like Ming Dong. Do you know?"
The queen mother felt a little relieved when she heard that her son was trying his best to protect himself. It was good that the son was not raised by a red family and she was thinking about him.
What he did just now was a test of his attitude. In fact, the Queen Mother also knew whether her father would be alive given Ruming's situation.
"Mother, I take care of myself so that he can handle political affairs with peace of mind. He will try his best to save the lives of his cousins."
After he walked out of the Queen Mother's palace, his face was expressionless. That time when Situ sought death himself, what did it have to do with him?
Three months later, the king ordered the great Situ and his companions to be beheaded, and the nine tribes were demoted to commoners and exiled.
In that kind of public opinion environment, exile was almost the same as death. Soon it was reported that the descendants of Great Situ and all other clans were massacred. Words such as "traitors will cut off their descendants" were left on the scene.
Many people in the country praised the murderer as a chivalrous person who eliminated harm for the country. When the Queen Mother in the palace heard the bad news, she fell ill.
The king was not that cruel. Before he was imprisoned, Da Situ 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 him to the palace and raised him, which was considered as a way to appease his mother's heart and fulfill his filial piety.
One month later, Xiaohong directly attacked 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 the Xi Kingdom doubled, becoming the strongest country, and the king became a well-deserved overlord.
Xiaohong sent a message stating that the king could rush to the border to receive the surrendered soldiers, and it would be time to consider moving the capital.
Originally, the capital was located in the heart of Xi State. As the territory increased in the Ming Dynasty, the capital seemed to be a little out of the way, which was 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 the right choice for him to take away Xiaohong from the offering and make her his wife.
The late king's main concern was whether to expand his territory and leave his name in history. He even lost his life just because he wanted to conquer the east.
Ru Ming, whether he got the entire Xu Kingdom, his name will definitely be in the history books.
Although Xu Guo did not know whether Xiaohong came from the east or not, such things were recorded in the name of the monarch, and the achievements of the female generals were mostly recorded as anecdotes.
Tang Yue didn't follow him to the battlefield that time. Xiaohong was already very powerful and didn't need her much.
Looking up at the real tree, the flowers had faded and small fruits were growing. It was so cute that she felt that the dream would soon end.
