Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 713 Sacrificing one’s life for the country

Xiao Kun was on a hillside, watching Xie Wei and his confidants ride away.

He sighed in his heart. Besides going to Chang'an, which was a certain death situation, the governor actually gave Xie Wei another choice.

That is, as a hero, die a spectacular death, known to the world.

In this way, Song Mo and Xie Zhan could not take advantage of him, but they could also save their wives and children, and also gain a posthumous reputation.

If he agrees to the proposal, they arrange it immediately.

It's a pity that Xie Wei rejected their suggestions.

This decision was also within their expectations.

After all, in his opinion, the fact that he would die during this trip was just speculation on their part in Pingzhou.

Probably Xie Wei still had low expectations for Song Mo, the king, and his biological mother and brother.

He was betting that Lu Songli's guess was wrong, betting on the chance of survival.

In fact, Xiao Kun can also understand that when faced with life and death matters, no one can die calmly.

It is normal for people to be a little greedy for life, afraid of death, and have a sense of luck. After all, if Xie Wei wins the bet, he will be born, or he will be promoted to a noble title.

Human nature is like this, everything is destiny.

After Xiao Kun returned, he replied a secret letter to Pingzhou. Inform the governor of the situation so that he can prepare a response.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

On this day, Song Mo summoned ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study, and Xie Zhan was also summoned.

The discussion this time was about the peace talks with Pingzhou. When they heard the Pingzhou lion open his mouth, they were angry and helpless.

The ministers were divided into two groups. One group felt that they could agree to the conditions proposed by Pingzhou, and the other group felt that they could not agree.

Because Dali did not have the right to decide whether the peace talks could be reached, ministers from the two factions argued for several hours, but still no one could convince the other.

After the discussion, it was already dark and it was raining heavily outside, so Song Mo asked several ministers to stay overnight.

In the middle of the night, there was a breakdown in the palace.

The fire started in the room where Xie Zhan stayed, and the part of the palace where the minister stayed was burned into a sea of ​​flames.

Lin Ran arranged for people to put out the fire urgently.

"Why did you get into the water?"

"Check, we must strictly investigate the reason!"

It took more than an hour to finally put out the fire. Lin Ran pulled the body in the ashes expressionlessly and asked someone to carry it out.

The ministers who stayed overnight looked at the corpse with heavy hearts.

It can be seen that the person in front of him was burned alive by the fire.

Because except for his face, there were burn scars all over his body, and there was almost no intact skin.

There are also burns on the face, but the condition is better than that on the body, and one can see about sixty-seven parts of his face.

It can be recognized that this person is indeed Xie Zhan!

I didn’t expect that Xie Zhan would be burned to death and die so miserably!

Lin Ran came to report the cause of the accident, "Your Majesty, we have found out the cause of the water leakage."

"what reason?"

Lin Ran replied, "The fire should have started from inside the palace. It was most likely set by Governor Xie." Because he didn't struggle, he could have escaped when the fire was still small, but he didn't. .

At this moment, Liang An walked in holding a small stack of letters in both hands.

"Your Majesty, I found this in Governor Xie's study."

Song Mo took it, read it expressionlessly, and passed it to the ministers below.

After the ministers finished reading, you looked at me and I looked at you.

This is a suicide note!

Xie Zhan said in his suicide note that he would die to apologize and ask Dali to give Pingzhou an explanation.

It turns out that Xie Zhan had long been determined to die.

Xie Zhan is willing to die for Dali. They misunderstood him for being so selfless!

They thought that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, that he relied on the emperor's protection and ignored Dali's safety...

For a moment, the ministers present had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Shen Wan asked Liang An, "Eunuch Liang, how is the situation in the Governor's Mansion?"

Liang An replied, "The news has been sent back to the Governor's Mansion. There was a lot of crying in the mansion, and Mrs. Xie fainted directly."

Shen Wan suggested to Song Mo, "Your Majesty, Governor Xie died for Dali. His funeral should be organized by Taichang Temple and given a generous burial."

Xie Zhan's suicide note also wrote about his concerns for his family members.

After his death, the Xie family occupied the clan land in Chang'an Imperial City. The emperor could take it back and begged the emperor to allow them to move back to their hometown in Chen County.

He was also worried about his mother, who had to bear the pain of losing a son at such an old age, and his wife and two concubines, who were still so young. He begged the emperor to allow them to remarry if they wanted to after his death...

The most important thing is that he entrusted his mother and family to his brother Xie Wei who was about to return.

These requests are not excessive compared to Xie's selflessness in sacrificing his life for the country, so Chen Wan and others are willing to fulfill them.

Fan Yang, Jiang Boya and others received the bad news and hurried to the Governor's Mansion.

Now that the governor's mansion has been hung with white sails, the two of them looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. How could it be like this?

In a secret house in Chang'an, Xie Zhan woke up leisurely.

Everything he saw was unfamiliar. He subconsciously looked at the light source of the window and saw a bright yellow, thin figure standing by the window, "Your Majesty?"

Song Mo turned around and looked at him with a heavy gaze.

While waiting for Xie Zhan to wake up, Song Mo also thought a lot.

Everything has come to this point as if by coincidence...

Song Mo was not stupid. He quickly realized that all of this seemed to be guided by a driving force behind the scenes. Although he didn't catch any evidence, the biggest beneficiary of all this was Xie Zhan.

"Your Majesty?" Xie Zhan shouted again, his voice full of doubts, "This is not the palace, where is this, why am I here?"

Song Mo pressed everything and asked, "Xie Aiqing, are you determined to die?"

Xie Zhan looked at him in shock, as if to say, 'Your Majesty, how do you know? '.

Song Mo added, "Something happened to Xie Wei on his way back."

Xie Zhan was shocked, "What? Is he okay?"

"According to his personal soldiers, the mount was frightened and went crazy, and he unfortunately fell from the horse. It was just that the location of the fall was not good, which caused injuries to his lumbar spine and he died on the spot."

After hearing this, Xie Zhan was speechless, "How could this happen? He is still so young. And he is about to be promoted to the general of the new Southern Army."

"I have blocked the news of Xie Wei's death. I only said that he broke his leg and will recover after a while." Song Mo stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "I have lost a great general, and I can't lose my love again." Thank you. So, I replaced you with the suicide note you left in the study."

Under Song Mo's explanation, Xie Zhan knew that he was 'dead' and set himself on fire in the palace.

"Your Majesty!" Xie Zhan was moved.

For a time, the monarch and his ministers "sympathized with each other."

The posthumous affairs of 'Xie Zhan' cannot be arranged immediately. His body needs to be inspected by people from Pingzhou before it can be buried.

This is an explanation to Pingzhou.

They have already notified people in Pingzhou.

During this period, because there was no general in the south, even though "Xie Wei" suffered such a big loss, the emperor took away his love and was ordered to go to the south with a tiger charm in hand to preside over the overall situation.

The soldiers and confidants Xie Wei brought back before were all injured. This time Xie Zhan went to the south, and the people he brought with him were all prepared by the emperor.

"General, are we going to leave quietly like this?"

"Ah."

He turned from light to darkness, temporarily dormant, and at the same time, he also wanted to avoid disaster.

Let those aristocratic families be proud of themselves for a while.

Next, the stage is handed over to the aristocratic family, allowing them to fight against Pingzhou.

Song Mo's body couldn't support it for much longer.

If Dali loses again...

Xie Zhan's eyes darkened.
