Li Yu stopped, but did not turn around. Instead, he asked lightly: "I wonder what else the prince has to do?"
Li Zhang didn't waste any time with him and said straightforwardly: "Since we came to the harem, we have only killed one person."
"Including the concubine in front of me, there are a total of five concubines who took the initiative to die for the country."
"Is it the Beidi women who have a strong temperament, or did Mr. Li spread rumors in advance before leaving the palace, saying that the Marquis of Qin would go on a killing spree, suggesting that they hang themselves in advance?"
Faced with Li Zhang's question, Li Yu just shrugged and wrote lightly: "As concubines, this is what they should be like, isn't it?"
Li Zhang let go of his hand and hummed softly: "It should be like this? Why?"
Li Yu slowly turned around, met Li Zhang's sharp gaze, and asked: "If this matter falls on your country, will the concubines in your harem have the courage to die for the country?"
"Although Beidi was defeated, you should still have this courage, right?"
Li Zhang understood that the reason why Li Yu hinted that these concubines hanged themselves was to win the last bit of dignity for Beidi and let everyone in the world know that Beidi was not all wimps, but lost to God.
If it hadn't been for this harsh winter, it's still unclear who would win.
Although it seems a bit ridiculous now, for officials like Li Yu, Beidi's dignity is extremely important, more important than human life.
So many concubines took the initiative to die for the country, which is enough to prove Beidi's integrity.
Li Zhang immediately realized something and asked immediately: "How many secrets do you have?"
Li Yu knew that Li Zhang was a smart man. Although he was not as evil as Qin Feng, he was by no means a good person.
Since Li Zhang asked, he must have noticed the clues.
Therefore, Li Yu did not hide it blindly, but responded in a deep voice: "This is your majesty's last wish. Although I betrayed your majesty, your majesty still entrusted me with this matter before leaving the palace."
"As a minister, isn't it okay to do this last thing for His Majesty?"
Seeing Li Yu's lonely eyes, Li Zhang didn't ask any more questions. He left Li Yu behind and quickly rushed to the study room where King Beidi was under house arrest.
When they arrived, King Beidi was sitting behind the Dragon Case, holding a stick in his hand.
There is also a broken stool scattered on the side of the Royal Bookstore.
Obviously, the stick in King Beidi's hand is the stool leg.
King Beidi had already scratched the legs of the stool with the porcelain pieces of the tea cup until they were extremely sharp. When he saw Li Zhang coming, King Beidi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Before I leave, can't I still see Lord Qin?"
"As early as the beginning of the national war, I have been playing games with the Marquis of Qin. Now, I have failed, but I don't even know the appearance of the enemy. It's really ridiculous."
Since Qin Feng arrived in Beidi, he has never had the opportunity to meet with the King of Beidi.
Now that the war is over and Beidi has been captured, the King of Beidi and Qin Feng, the Liang envoy, have never even met each other. If they tell me, no one will believe them.
But it is what it is.
Li Zhang frowned and dissuaded in a deep voice: "You could have survived, why did you have to take this step?"
Because it was too far away from the Long Case, even Ning Hu couldn't grab the stick before King Beidi committed suicide.
Therefore, Li Zhang had no hope and could only try to dissuade him as much as possible.
King Beidi's eyes did not change at all. He stared at the wooden stick in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I lost, and I am convinced that I lost."
"A person whom I have never even met has overturned everything about me. Why should I be dissatisfied?"
"How can a person like me rule the world? It's me who brought the great Di into this situation today. I no longer have the dignity to live in this world."
Having said this, King Beidi looked up at Li Zhang with a weak tone, as if he was begging.
"Go and tell Qin Feng for me."
"If he can really manage Dadi well, even if the country falls into his hands, it won't matter..."
Li Zhang frowned: "This country still belongs to the Jing family after all!"
The King of Beidi laughed extremely hard: "No! Jing Yushu is a woman. She will be pregnant with Qin Feng's child in the future. She is also from Daliang, and her surname is Qin, not Jing."
"Even if he takes his mother's surname, he is still a bit different from the real heir of the Jing family."
"The Jing family has disappeared in name only..."
Li Zhang did not refute again, because what Beidi King said was a cruel fact.
Those civil servants extremely rejected Jing Qianying's succession to the throne, not only because Jing Qianying was a female, but also because Jing Qianying would ruin the Jing family.
Unless one day, Jing Qianying abdicates the throne and cedes the throne to Jing's descendants, otherwise, with the resignation of King Beidi, Beidi will actually exist in name only.
Next, whether the same country on the same land is still "Beidi" or not is like a mirror in everyone's mind.
Under Li Zhang's gaze, King Beidi stood up slowly, holding a sharp wooden stick in both hands and aiming it at his heart.
"Qin Feng! Do you really think that I will become a prisoner?"
"You are so naive! I am the King of Beidi, the Emperor of Dadi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Beidi exerted force with his hands, and the wooden thorn was inserted directly into his chest. In an instant, blood spattered.
Suicide is an act that requires the most courage, but King Beidi didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even respond to his body's instinctive refusal. The wooden thorn penetrated his body completely.
Plop!
King Beidi sat back on the throne and stared blankly in the direction of the door, the light in his eyes disappearing little by little.
Li Zhang closed his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart. A generation of heroes had just fallen...
After the moment of silence, Li Zhang closed the door of the imperial study room again, turned around and left.
Qin Feng had already given King Beidi a chance, but King Beidi had already done what he should do.
When Li Zhang returned to Qin Feng and told Qin Feng everything that happened in the palace, Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"Although I had long expected that King Beidi would not be able to live quietly, but when I think of this old rival dying like this, I still feel a little strange in my heart."
"As for the concubines in the harem who were hinted by Li Yu and died for the country, Jing Qianying will naturally post titles for them in the future."
"Li Yu, just go with them. There is no need to leave the palace."
Hearing this, Li Zhang nodded. Even if Qin Feng didn't speak, Li Zhang would send someone to wait for Li Yu at the entrance of the palace.
As soon as Li Yu shows up, he can be hacked to death.
Such people must not be left behind.
However, with Li Yu's style, he would definitely not wait until he took action. He would kill himself as early as in the palace and follow King Beidi.
Now that the matter is over, the palace's "remedial work" can be considered completely completed.
