War or surrender, Honrisadai hesitated for a long time. She didn't want to surrender, but the situation was stronger than others. Benrisadai didn't want to surrender not because of other reasons, but because she didn't know what would happen after she surrendered.
And now that she is the king of this country, what happens after she surrenders? Who is she? And how many of her family members and people she offended would kill her by then? These are all issues she has to consider. It can be said that the fate of her family depends on her.
A phoenix that landed on the ground is not as good as a chicken. From a certain point of view, if she surrenders, she will even be worse than the nobles of these Queen Kingdoms.
But now, what she can choose is actually no choice. Because of the war, there may not be many people who agree with it, and the ending after the war's disastrous defeat is even more difficult for her to accept.
"Bang bang" there was a knock on the door outside. Benli Shetai collected his mind and said: "Come in."
The door of the main hall was quickly pushed open, and a man in his fifties opened the door and walked in. After he came in, he waved his hand and retreated. Benli Shatai did not stop him, and until they were the only two left in the room. when.
The man said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have the latest news here. The families of the left prime minister and more than 20 ministers want to secretly unite to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and are trying to rebel."
"What?!" Benli Shetai was completely stunned. She stood up directly from her position. She didn't ask why she rebelled. Didn't the purpose of rebellion mean to capture her and then claim credit from the Tang Dynasty?
"Aren't they the ones with the toughest attitude?" Benli Shetai has not forgotten that the first people to attack Datang in the court were Zuo Xiang and his group. Now that they suddenly heard the news, Benli Shetai's entire People are stupid.
"Obviously, they have put their family's interests above the country. They want to get the maximum benefit from this!" The man said calmly.
Benrishadai's whole body froze, and her face always had an expression of disbelief. This man didn't know what she was thinking, but he just watched Benrishadai's face change from disbelief to gloomy and angry. , and then become calm.
Finally, "Hahaha..." Benli Shedai burst out laughing, and the laughter became more and more ferocious. When the laughter calmed down again, Benli Shedai looked at the man fiercely and asked: "Do you have any?" Is there no way to take me out of the city and to the military camp of Datang without being discovered?"
"Your Majesty, the marching distance of the Tang Dynasty is not very fast. If you ride a horse, it will take at least a day and a night to reach it, and you have to travel overnight. Your Majesty, you are not riding a horse, so it will take three days."
"It's probably a bit difficult to hide the truth from the Left Prime Minister and the others in three days. After all, they will definitely come to see you during the current national crisis." The man pondered for a moment.
"Then ride a horse and you take me." Benli Shetai said without hesitation.
"It will be very painful if you don't know how to ride a horse." The man hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, take me with you, bring the national seal and all the important things, and then tell the Zuo Xiang and others that I want to think carefully and ask them not to disturb me. I won't see anyone in the past few days until the Tang army comes to the city. ." Benli Shetai said through gritted teeth.
"yes!"
Although the army of the Tang Dynasty was advancing here, the Queen City did not completely close the city gate, so this man easily left the Queen City quietly with Benli Shetai.
One day later, Li Xiaogong was a little surprised when he saw Benli Shetai, "You said you are the king of the queen's kingdom?"
"Yes, I am. This is the jade seal of my queen's kingdom. The credentials and other documents can prove my identity." Benli Shetai directly took out the seals that proved her identity.
There are also the edicts that Li Shimin once sent to the Queen's country, all of which are in her hands.
After reading this, Li Xiaogong looked a little strange, "Then you're not just Her Majesty the Queen, are you here to see me?"
"I can surrender, and the Queen's Kingdom can also surrender. I can even cooperate with the Tang Dynasty in propaganda, saying that I voluntarily led the Queen's Kingdom to merge into the Tang Dynasty, not because of the conflict between us." Benli Shetai said fiercely He said, "But I only have one condition."
"You said it." Li Xiaogong sat up straight. If the other party cooperates, that would be great. Sometimes it is important to be just and right, although even if the other party does not surrender, he will become just and right in the end.
"Your Tang Dynasty wants to clean up more than 20 families in the country. No one can be left alive." Benli Shetai's eyes were somewhat crazy.
I'm not even ready to surrender, but you are already ready to surrender. Even if you are ready to surrender, you actually want to use me in exchange for peace in your family? How can there be such a good thing in the world?
"I want to know the reason?" Li Xiaogong was somewhat surprised by this condition. He thought that the other party wanted to receive the same treatment as Xue Yantuo and other national leaders who took the initiative to join the Tang Dynasty. He did not expect that it was such a surprise. condition.
"It's very simple. They are preparing to rebel. Before I can decide whether to surrender or go to war, they are already preparing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Not only are they planning to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but they are also preparing to rebel first, sacrifice me, and pour dirty water on me. Put it on my head and say that I am ready to resist. What is the use of keeping such unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people?" Benli Shedai said in a cold tone.
To be honest, Li Xiaogong did not expect such a result, but when the other party said it... Li Xiaogong was a little speechless, or that women can be really cruel sometimes.
"They seem to be right? Are you really preparing to resist?" Li Xiaogong paused, and then said in a calm tone. What happened in the other country's country had nothing to do with Datang.
"Of course I am prepared to resist. They are indeed right, but as the king of a country, if you have no intention of resisting at all, then why should you be the king? It is normal for me to have the intention of resisting, but they have the intention of rebellion. This is wrong. With their betrayal, do you, the Tang Dynasty, dare to keep them?"
"Aren't you afraid that if something happens in the future, they will rebel against the Tang Dynasty again? Or do something detrimental to the Tang Dynasty? People like them who dare to betray the national interests for their own selfish interests, how dare the Tang Dynasty use them?" Benli Shetai He asked, staring at Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong paused, although he wanted to say, after capturing you, only Datang will be around. Even if they are traitors, which country can they sell to? But if you think about what Benli Shetai said, it is not unreasonable.
These people can indeed be said to have sold out the national interests for their own selfish interests, so aren't the national interests of the Queen's Kingdom the national interests of our Datang? After all, this will be my Datang territory from now on.
