At this moment, Chi Ting looked furious.
He was unwilling to accept this.
His heart was filled with resentment.
These traitors had actually betrayed him.
After Chi Ting scolded them, he continued, "Do you people really think that you've submitted to Du Qi? Do you really think that you'll be put in an important position? As traitors, you won't be put in an important position. "
Yang Jian looked at the enraged Chi Heng and stepped forward. He said disdainfully, "Chi Heng, your words sound so righteous. However, you have forgotten that you acted willfully and willfully in the Qiuci Country and killed the innocent."
"You've been the king of Qiuci Kingdom for more than ten years. Because of your obstinate nature, you've killed as many as six hundred and fifty-eight officials. Moreover, these people were all punished because they spoke out against you or suggested that you be punished. "
"Although most of them weren't punished directly at the time, they were punished with various reasons afterward."
"A person like you is unworthy of being a king."
"We oppose you not only for the people of Qiuci City, but also because you're the king of Qiuci Kingdom. As a king, you don't think about how to take care of the people, empathize with your officials, or fight back against the Turks. You only know how to treat people harshly. "
"You don't deserve to be the king of Qiuci Kingdom."
Yang Jian's words were full of righteousness.
He had long since been dissatisfied with Chi Ping. Especially when Wang Dezhi and Cai Yan had been killed, Yang Jian had been suppressing his anger. Wang Dezhi was his good friend, but he died and his clan was exterminated. After Wang Dezhi's death, Chi Ting vented his anger on Wang Dezhi's family and killed them all. This was something that only a fatuous ruler would do.
After Yang Jian spoke, the others began to criticize Chi Ting, saying that he was a fatuous ruler.
Chi Cong was infuriated by the accusation.
Xue Rengui, Yi Fusheng, and Ma Yuan stood to the side and quietly watched this interesting scene. Xue Rengui was somewhat surprised. Before he could speak to Chi Ting, the courtiers had already attacked him.
Chi Ting listened to everyone's words. He gritted his teeth and said hysterically, "You people have no right to criticize me. You are a group of traitors, the Qiuci people of the future will remember your ugly faces. "
"You all want to see this king in dire straits."
"You want to hit me when I'm down?"
"You want to use this king's body as capital to advance? That's a fool's dream."
"I am the monarch of the Qiuci Kingdom."
Chi Ying raised his head and said in a powerful and resonating voice, "Until I die, I have more dignity than you bunch of spineless lowlifes. This King is the King of Qizi Country, the ruler of millions of Qizi Country's people. How can I be humiliated by people like you? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the sword in his hand.
He directly swiped it across his neck.
Chi Cheng's body fell to the ground, blood spurting everywhere. Fresh blood gushed out from his neck, and Chi Cong's body twitched twice. His eyes were already close to gloomy, without the slightest bit of spirit.
A moment later, his neck tilted and he died.
Xue Rengui looked at the dead Chi Cong and waved his hand, instructing, "Although Chi Cong treated his subordinates and the people harshly, he was still a dignified ruler. Prepare a high-quality coffin and give him a proper burial! "
"Yes!"
The personal attendant stepped forward and immediately complied.
Chi Feng stepped forward and said, "General Xue, although Chi Cong would rather die than commit suicide, he was still a member of the Chi family. This old man is also a member of the Chi family. Can you let this old man take care of his body and prepare for his funeral? "
"Permitted!"
Xue Rengui immediately agreed.
Although Xue Rengui didn't take care of Chi Cong's funeral, he had dealt with all of Chi Cong's direct descendants. If these people remained, they would be a threat and couldn't be allowed to exist. Since he wanted to resolve the enmity, he had to eliminate them by the roots.
After Xue Rengui took control of Qizi City, he arranged for people to send letters to Du Qi, informing him that he had taken over the entire city. At the same time, Xue Rengui had already discussed with Yi Fusheng and Ma Yuan to divide their forces and take over the rest of Qizi Country.
By the time the letters reached Yanqi City, it was already the eighth of the seventh month. When Du Qi saw Xue Rengui's letter, a smile appeared on his face. Now that he had taken over Qizi Country, his strength had expanded once more.
However, Xue Rengui's letter mentioned the use of gunpowder and how Mo Heduo had taken out Tongyehu Khan's base in the Western Regions. Du Qi didn't have any objections to Mo Heduo taking out Tongyehu Khan's base.
The more the Turks were in turmoil, the happier Du Qi was.
As for the Qizi Country's arrangements, Du Qi immediately replied, agreeing to Xue Rengui's sweeping of the various regions. Just as Du Qi was done with his arrangements, an attendant entered, saying that Guo Xiaozheng had come to visit.
Du Qi ordered the attendant to let Guo Xiaozheng in.
Guo Xiaozheng entered the main hall of the royal palace. When he saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
Du Qi asked, "What's the matter? Is there any good news?"
Guo Xiaozheng said, "In Gaochang, Registrar Liu sent news that the Princess Consort and Vice Consort Qianxue gave birth on the same day. The Princess Consort gave birth to a young master while Vice Consort Qianxue gave birth to a young princess. Congratulations, Your Highness. You have a son and a daughter. Double happiness. "
Du Qi laughed heartily and said, "This isn't double happiness. It's triple happiness. Just now, Xue Rengui sent news that Qizi Country has been taken. "
Soon after, Du Qi gave a detailed account of the battle in Qizi, as well as the internal strife within the Western Turks' borders.
Guo Xiaozheng was delighted to hear this.
This was great news.
Now that Du Qi had taken over Yizhou, Gaochang, Yanqi, and Qizi Provinces, his strength had increased like never before. Moreover, Du Qi had a son, which meant that the Western Regions had a legacy. With this, there would be a cohesive force that could gather the strength of all the people under Du Qi's command.
Guo Xiaozheng asked, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort and Vice Consort Qianxue have given birth. When will you return to Gaochang? Qizi Country has been taken, so there won't be any war for the time being. You can return to Gaochang first before returning to Yanqi to deal with Qizi Country. "
Du Qi thought for a while before nodding. "I do need to return immediately. Registrar Guo, you'll be in charge of Yanqi's government affairs. If anything happens, you'll have full authority to make decisions. There's no need to ask for instructions before making arrangements. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "This subordinate obeys."
Du Qi continued, "The current Qizi Country is under the control of Xue Rengui and Yi Fusheng for the time being. There might be a war on the frontlines. After all, the Turks' Moheduo might attack. Once a war breaks out in Qizi, it'll easily cause unrest in Yanqi. Therefore, although Hu Youshan is in charge of Yanqi, you can't slack off. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This subordinate will arrange everything."
Du Qi talked about some other details before instructing Liu Jian to pack up and set off. Du Qi's return this time was hurried all the way without the slightest delay. It only took him three days to return to Gaochang from Yanqi.
Du Qi returned to Gaochang and went straight to the palace. He went to the harem where Li Yanyun and Qianxue were staying.
The two women were in different courtyards.
Du Qi first went to Li Yanyun's courtyard to visit. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Yanyun and the child who were in confinement. He sat down beside Li Yanyun and asked her about the situation after giving birth. Then, he looked at the child.
It had been more than ten days since the news of Li Yanyun giving birth to the child had spread to Du Qi's return to Gaochang. For a child who had just been born, there would be huge changes every single day in the span of ten days.
At this time, the child could be considered to have grown a little. He didn't look like a wrinkled newborn.
He was chubby and extremely cute.
