This time, the detailed plan of the battle was formulated by Solomon, but the front line was handed over to the command of the general Joab.

"If you meet Absalom, please don't hurt his life, just capture him alive." King David urged Joab earnestly.

The old King David was no longer as decisive as he was when he was young. Even though Absalom made such a rebellious act, he still had a kindness for his own flesh and blood.

Joab, who was kneeling on one knee, said nothing, and King David regarded him as accepting the order: "Go! Give me victory!"

"Follow the king's orders!"

Because of the stealthy battle, Joab and the soldiers went to the destination on foot, and the round-trip time was lengthened, which made King David wait anxiously and impatiently at the campsite from early morning to evening, only to see a messenger rushing to report .

"Report to the king, the general has successfully subdued all the rebels and disarmed them, and can take back the capital immediately."

"Good! Good! So what about Absalom? Did you meet him this time?"

King David immediately wanted to ask this son face to face, why did he rebel against himself?The crime of assassinating his brother was pardoned, and he was allowed to return to live in the capital. Isn't this kind of treatment not tolerant enough?

"About this matter..." The orderly was a little embarrassed.

Everyone heard King David's order to capture Abshallom alive before the war, but...

"Say!"

"Yes! The Third Highness was defeated and was being chased by our army. He passed under a big tree with lush branches and accidentally got his hair entangled. The general took the opportunity to chop off his head..." His head.

The messenger silently swallowed back the last few words, because King David had already collapsed backward with a pale face. If the ministers on the side hadn't reacted quickly, they might have heard the crisp sound of the back of the king's head touching the ground.

"My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I could die for you...Absalom!" King David was shocked to hear the bad news, and kept crying out for his beloved son in grief. name.

Solomon closed his eyes tightly, frowned and sighed, but King David was no longer able to bear the responsibility of ordering, and he couldn't lose his composure.

He threw a look at the courtier who was supporting King David, and asked him to help the king into the house to rest, and ordered to the messenger: "Tell Joab, let him collect the army, count the prisoners, rest for one night, and then go back to the palace again." Set off and take back our holy city."

This time, the messengers no longer went on foot, but went to lead a group of horses, without any rest, and immediately rushed back to the front line to pass orders.

"Ye Lan, help me clean up. I'll go to the front line to command after I go to see my father." Solomon had already expected King David's reaction, so he asked Ye Lan to prepare first.

"it is good."

King David deprived Joab of his military authority without hesitation and handed it over to Solomon. Firstly, Solomon was the king appointed by God, and he was the person King David trusted most. Second, Joab dared to stand in front of everyone Disobeying the king's decree, King David couldn't believe him no matter what.

With the decree written by King David himself, Solomon and Yelan set off on the road lightly, hurried to receive the military power, and planned the siege strategy for the next day.

But it is a pity that Solomon's perfect strategy that can be called art did not come in handy, or it didn't need to be used at all. The callers roared and threatened a few words, then panickedly raised the white flag and surrendered.

Jerusalem returned to King David's control, but he did not immediately return to the city.

After the rebellion, there are still many funeral affairs to be dealt with, especially clearing out the dark lines of the rebels. Before all the pawns in the dark are found, the king cannot be allowed to risk himself in this way, so Solomon has full authority to deal with it.

In this regard, Ye Lan can't help at all.

When he was in Uruk, he acted as Gilgamesh's internal affairs agent for a period of time, but under the pressure of God's punishment, the people and courtiers were united as one, wholeheartedly trying to help the country tide over the difficulties.

But what needs to be done now is to intrigue with a group of old foxes, not only to deal with their various conspiracies and schemes, but also to take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to fight against the general... Yelan only has three words, to do less than.

All he can do is to take care of the busy Solomon.

In this era, most people work at sunrise and rest at sunset. However, it was already almost midnight, and Solomon was still burning the lights in his study at night, worrying about the piles of scrolls.

"How about it? Is it still okay?" Yelan warmed up a cup of goat's milk for Solomon and let him pad his stomach.

"Ah... Those old foxes hid really deep enough. Even if they knew that they were related to the rebels, they couldn't find any evidence."

It cannot be said that there is no evidence. Solomon's clairvoyance could not find any evidence, but it was completely wiped out, so to be precise, the evidence no longer exists.

"And Adonijah, brother..." Solomon is not used to using honorifics to others, and he doesn't really want to use honorifics to himself, the fourth brother. If he is not here, he will definitely be able to sit on the throne, and now he has already begun to put on the honor and posture of the king."

At the end, Solomon sneered.

"Heir candidate"... Although it may not be appropriate for me, but how can such a self-important and unruly person have the confidence to think that he will be selected as the heir?

"Is there no improvement after warning?" Yelan remembered that Solomon had condemned Adonija for this a few days ago.

"No, and it got worse. It's probably because my father chose me as the agent instead of him, and I have a rebellious mentality... I can only give a verbal warning at most, and then further substantive punishment. , it must be decided by the father himself, I do not have that position and power."

If not, Solomon really wanted to directly place the crime of rebellion on Adonijah and solve it together.

"Then isn't it all right to send a letter to ask King David?"

After all, Solomon was only an agent, and he still had to report to King David regularly. The disposal of some high-ranking rebel ministers was also ordered directly by the king, so Ye Lan didn't understand the difficulty.

"The three eldest sons of the father are no longer alive; the second elder brother Daniel died of illness when he was young, and he lost Amnon and Absalom successively in these years, so even if I reported Adonijah to him Brother's transgression, he is still soft-hearted and unwilling to punish."

Solomon had no hatred for Adonijah. The reason why he had to suffer often was to prevent Adonijah’s ambition from expanding. Otherwise, when he proclaimed himself the heir and was full of confidence in it, King David announced The real heir is himself and not him...

Needless to say, there would be another rebellion.

Obviously, he has foreseen the future, but he has no power to deal with it. This is what worries Solomon.

"In this case, it's useless for you to worry about it. The old foxes will show their feet one day. Let's rest now." Ye Lan forcefully took away the memorial that Solomon was reading, and pushed him onto the bed without any explanation. , and covered him with a quilt.

"In order to prevent you from getting up and continuing to work after I leave, I will supervise you here." Ye Lan sat on the edge of the bed, covering Solomon's eyes with one hand, "Go to sleep."

I thought I would have trouble falling asleep because of my chaotic thoughts, but miraculously, feeling the temperature of Ye Lan covering my face, and feeling Ye Lan's gentle breath surrounding me, sleepiness hit me unconsciously.

Ah, only this person absolutely, absolutely cannot let go...

Feeling Solomon's long breath, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the final analysis, this child is just a human being, a fragile human being who needs to sleep, rest, eat and drink every day, but his excellent performance makes everyone forget about it.

Solomon's other name - Jedidiah, means "God's beloved child", and everyone thinks that Solomon's all-round talents and wisdom are the grace bestowed by God, but they don't know the price Solomon paid for it.

So Yelan didn't like the name.

What the name shows is nothing more than the arrogance of God in turning an innocent and lively child into his own string puppet.

Or "Solomon".

Solomon means - "peace".

Under Solomon's clairvoyant eyes, all the ugliness can't be hidden. After all, the old foxes were caught by their tails one by one, and they were thrown into the prison unwillingly.

After sweeping away all dangers, the holy capital can finally welcome the king's return.

All the necessary measures have been dealt with, and the next step is to reward those who have made meritorious deeds. However, first, the general Yoab disobeyed the king's order and beheaded Absalom. Now that he has been deprived of his military power, no further rewards are possible; Now, the greatest hero Solomon is already the default king, and the whole country will belong to him, and there seems to be nothing to reward.

Therefore, King David gave a few words of formal praise, and threw away a few gems and gold bricks to get by.

Solomon himself didn't care. He didn't have any desire for power or money. If it wasn't for God's will, he wouldn't even have any thoughts about the throne.

Ye Lan didn't think there was anything wrong, or rather, King David, who had always ignored Solomon, was willing to praise Solomon in front of his ministers, so he was very happy...even if it might be pretending.

But apart from the two, there was one person who cared a lot.

However, what he cared about was not King David's attitude towards Solomon, but his attitude towards himself.

Adonijah knew that his recent actions must have been clearly reported to King David, and the latter not only did not scold him, but also had a more loving attitude towards him than before, so did he show that he would immediately About to be established as the orthodox heir?

That little bastard Solomon dared to blame himself must have not passed on to his father, otherwise how could his father not protect him!

Hahahahahaha! Just wait! The day he becomes king, let that bastard understand what it means to respect the elder brother and what it means to obey the king!
