Xu Huang hesitated: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you would let them do two years of hard labor?" ”

Liu Xin smiled: "Two years, three years, isn't it up to us?" If they can't build that road within two years, it means that they haven't done it seriously, and they will naturally have to prolong the time of hard labor. If they are repaired within two years, it is useless to keep them, so it is better to send them away as soon as possible! ”

Xu Huang understood, arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the general will do it." ”

Fu Zhu looked at Xu Huang's back and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, if those prisoners of war are unwilling to work hard, will you really bury them all?" ”

Liu Xin smiled and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Frustrated for a moment, he immediately laughed.

At this time, a personal guard walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the city who claims to be Mozhiti and wants to ask to see Your Majesty, but he has been detained by the soldiers defending the city, please decide what to do with it." ”

After the civil strife in Dawan, Mo Zhiti did not know where to go, and Liu Xin also ordered the military intelligence department to find out his whereabouts, but until the Han army captured Guishan, there was no letter from him, but now he came out by himself.

As for how to deal with Mozhiti, Liu Xin still has some difficulties. Although Mozhiti was ousted by Atike, he was still the de jure king of Dawan after all, and Liu Xin had already made up his mind to put Dawan under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

The Great Han Concession of Parthia was too far from the mainland, but it was extremely important, and Liu Xin could not have abandoned him. To go to the concession from the Han mainland, you must pass through the Western Regions, Dawan, and Kangju.

Kangju don't have to worry, the young Kangju King is his son, and the future Kangju King will only be his grandson and great-grandson, Kangju is not nominally subordinate to the Han, but in fact it is already inextricably linked with the Han.

After several years of construction, the Metropolitan Protectorate has completely controlled the situation in the Western Regions, and the two fortresses of Uzberi and Turugert are even more impregnable.

The only variable is Dawan, and only by completely placing Dawan under the jurisdiction of Dahan can the safety of the isolated concession be guaranteed.

Originally, he eliminated Atike and killed all the Dawan nobles. In order to prevent some nobles from disguising themselves as slaves in order to escape, Liu Xin even secretly ordered that even the slaves in those noble families should not be spared. After this battle, no one in the Dawan Kingdom will dare to rise up and resist again within ten years. Ten years later, as long as the people of Dawan can live a life of abundant food and clothing, who is willing to take risks with their heads?

Mo Zhiti appeared at this time, of course he would not have come to congratulate Liu Xin on the capture of Dawan, if Liu Xin guessed correctly, he would definitely want to return to his throne.

Liu Xin was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "Bring him over!" ”

Here, Liu Xin uses "belt" instead of "please", and the difference of one word is enough to explain the problem.

After a while, Mozhiti was brought over. It was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. This was originally his royal palace, and the lavish hall was as imposing as ever, with sixteen stout red lacquered pillars that could not be hugged by two people, and the pure gold throne was inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, and in front of the throne were familiar songs and dances, and even around the throne were his delicate concubines. The only difference was that instead of sitting on the throne, he stood ragged and unkempt at the foot of the stairs waiting for the transmission, not even qualified to enter the main hall.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is to capture an ordinary city or the other party's capital, Liu Xin will choose to live in the military camp and share the weal and woe with the soldiers, rather than sleeping in the palace or the mansion of the nobles to enjoy himself alone.

He had been to Dawan's palace before, but this hall had just been newly built in the past year or two, and Liu Xin had come in for the first time. Stroking the throne made of pure gold, even Liu Xin, who was rich from all over the world, was secretly speechless. In his palace in Chang'an, there is not a single chair like this, and at most the wood used is slightly better. From this throne alone, you can see how extravagant Magiti is, and it is strange that such a person can hold the country!

Liu Xin had already secretly made up his mind that other things in the Dawan Palace could not be taken away, and this pure gold throne must be brought back. It's not that Liu Xin is enjoying it for himself, to be honest, this golden chair is definitely not as comfortable as his wooden chair to sit on. He wants to use this golden chair as a negative teaching material to educate future generations not to get carried away.

It was a long time before Mozhiti heard one of the guards shouting, "Go in!" ”

This sound of breaking the drink in Mozhiti is like a sound of heaven, and he hurriedly walked all the way into the main hall, the song and dance just now have dispersed, and the hall is empty. Mo Zhiti was trying to learn the etiquette of the Han people and arched his hand, only to hear the guards on both sides shout in unison: "Kneel!" ”

Mozhiti's knees weakened, and he really fell to his knees, but he heard a familiar smile from the hall. Mo Zhiti peeked in, and saw that one of his favorite concubines was lying in Liu Xin's arms, twisting her waist like a water snake desperately, and she didn't know where Liu Xin had touched her, and she would let out a coquettish laugh or two from time to time.

After a long time, Liu Xin gently patted the plump buttocks of the favorite concubine twice, and said, "Okay, go to the back and wash up, and wait for me." ”

Mozhiti is also a normal man, and when he saw his woman being teased by others, he had long held back the fire in his belly. But when he thought about it, in the half month that he had fled, his women had probably been touched by that bastard of Artike, not to mention that at this time, the Han Emperor who was sitting on the throne was still able to decide his fate, and he couldn't help but wilt down like a deflated ball.

Liu Xin had already sat up straight and said solemnly: "Who is kneeling below?" ”

Mo Zhiti hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am Mo Zhiti, the king of Dawan." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help frowning, looked around and asked, "King Dawan?" Didn't King Dawan be buried in the ruins of the city wall yesterday evening and crushed into meatloaf? Why is there a Dawan King now? ”

Pang De arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, King Dawan dared to resist the emperor yesterday and has already died. His body was dug up from under the collapsed city walls this morning, and it was identified by many parties. This person must be a fake, and he should be beheaded! ”

Mozhiti was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is the usurper Atike who died, I am Mozhiti, I am the real King of Dawan......"

Liu Xin seemed to have just remembered, and muttered: "Oh, you are Mozhiti, a little impression." That woman just now seems to be your concubine, I love it very much, I don't know if you are willing to endure the pain of cutting your love. ”

At this time, Mo Zhiti wanted to save his life, and second, he wanted to take back the throne, so there was no reason, so he hurriedly said: "Willing, willing, as long as Your Majesty can see it, the concubines of the little king can ......be chosen by Your Majesty."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Xin had already slapped the table fiercely and shouted, "Fart!" How can you give away your own woman casually! You can't even protect your own woman, do you still have the ability to protect the people of Dawan? What is the use of keeping such a shameless person? Left and right, and I pushed him out and cut him! ”

Mo Zhiti was slandered in his heart, his woman has been played with in your arms for so long, can you say no? But he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to cry out for injustice and tell his loyalty to Liu Xin.

The guards on the left and right had already stepped forward, dragged him up and left.

Mo Zhiti has also been the king of Dawan for so long, no matter how mediocre he is, he will play a little trick. In his opinion, Liu Xin just took this opportunity to give him a dismissal, and after he was wronged, he would naturally let him come back.

Who knew that he had miscalculated this time, Liu Xin didn't say anything at all, and let the guards drag him out of the hall.

Mo Zhiti knew that this time it was impossible to escape, and he regretted it in his heart, and he knew that he would not come back to see Liu Xin, isn't this equivalent to throwing himself into the net? But there is no regret in the world for selling medicine, and Mo Zhiti was disappointed, so he turned to scold. Although the guards on the left and right didn't understand what he was scolding, they also saw that something was wrong, so they simply tore off a dirty rag from him and blocked his mouth.

Liu Xin also knew that Mo Zhiti was quite friendly to the Han, and it was really unjust to kill him. It's just that if Liu Xin wants to completely incorporate Dawan into the territory of Dahan, he must put an end to future troubles. If Mozhiti has been hiding, it is inevitable that someone will come out to rebel under his banner or the banner of his descendants in the future, and now Mozhiti will be beheaded for public display, and others will not be able to take advantage of it.

Originally, Liu Xin also planned to treat his family well after Mozhiti's death and move his family to Chang'an, so that they could be rich and have no worries about food and clothing. However, when he heard that Mo Zhiti suddenly turned from groveling to scolding, Liu Xin became angry. From this point of view alone, Mo Zhiti has not really respected the big man from the heart.

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Come on, behead all the men in the Mozhiti family, whether old or young, and make the women official slaves!" ”

It's time to cut down the grass and eradicate it. The civil and military forces standing in the main hall were not accustomed to seeing life and death, and they didn't feel anything wrong with Liu Xin's decision. But Cleya quietly asked, "Your Majesty, was that beauty sent to Chang'an or to Khotan?" I don't want to be a slave or a slave. ”

Liu Xin glared at her, and said angrily: "It's just a prop, and it's worthless if it's used." What are you going to do when you send it back, do you want to raise a lot of idlers in the palace? ”

Cleya is a gladiator and likes to go straight, she just heard Liu Xin tell the woman to go to the back to wash up, and in the blink of an eye, she turned the woman into a slave, she really can't figure it out.

At this time, Liu Xin had already stood up and walked towards the outside of the main hall with all the civil and military personnel, and when he looked back, Cleya was still stunned there, scratching her head and meditating, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "Cleya, don't stand stupidly, carry that throne, hurry up!" ”
