female concubine

There are dozens of large boxes in the center of the Beiliao Tent Hall, all of which are high-quality beast furs.

The servant smiled and clapped his hands, "The Son of Heaven has not yet returned to the capital. Because he is concerned about your brother, His Majesty, someone sent the prepared spoils to you early."

"It's really thankful for my elder brother's concern. My younger brother is very grateful." Yeluming narrowed his eyes.

"My lord said that I am very satisfied with His Majesty's performance in this battle to regain Hexi, but..." the servant took out a transcribed letter from his sleeve, "How will Your Majesty explain it?"

Yeluming opened it hesitantly, "What is this?"

"When the Son of Heaven personally went to Hexi, Li Yuanhao wrote a letter in his own hand and sent an envoy to Beiliao. Later, Beiliao intercepted your majesty and did not receive the envoy."

"I remembered what the emperor said, so I sent him back to the country without even thinking about it."

The servant turned his head and asked coldly, "Really?"

"What does Song envoy mean by asking this question?"

"Why does the villain ask such a question, isn't your majesty not clear?"

Yeluming choked with sobs and clenched his hands, "Song made the boat exhausted..."

"The villain is not tired or sleepy now." The servant turned around, took a step closer and said, "The villain reminded His Majesty."

Yeluming immediately turned his face and shook his sleeves and said, "I respect him as my elder brother so I can tolerate everything. In terms of strength, I, Bei Liao, and Wei Song are evenly matched. The emperor wants to force me to turn against each other?"

Seeing him like this, the servant immediately burst out laughing, "Your Majesty is serious, my lord still remembers that Guochao and Beiliao are countries of brothers, otherwise how could he send these victories in the first place? You can't hurt your peace because of some insignificant trifles, Your Majesty, right?"

Yeluming went to the tiger chair, turned around and sat down, "Beiliao is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others. I will put my words here today. The Central Plains have the rules of the Central Plains, and our grasslands also have the bottom line of the grassland. I hope the emperor will not break the covenant."

"That is natural, you are not joking."

------------------------------

In the midsummer of the 12th year of Qianyuan, the emperor returned to the court with his troops. The army escorted the prisoners of war and the noble clan all the way east.

The servant drove the horse to the emperor's side, "Ms. Wuzang has been clamoring for this and that all day long, and she doesn't seem to have the word "honesty" in her eyes in front of everyone. She can speak Chinese and keeps talking about her own words." Innocent, fortunately Old General Li was strict in running the army, and those soldiers were not bewitched by him." After speaking, Qi Liu shook his shoulders and let out a sigh of relief, "Beauty rots bones, it is quite suitable for her."

Huo Qing stroked his beard on a black horse, "Could it be that Mr. Xue was also moved by that woman? When I was in Xingqing, I heard that the reason why this person can become a queen..."

"That's enough!" the emperor snorted, "You are all generals..."

The soldiers rode from the prisoner-of-war team to the imperial front, dismounted and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Wuzang is clamoring to see you, and keeps calling someone's name."

"What name?"

"Wei Qing."

"..." The emperor raised his brows, bent down and took off the sword on the horse's side and carried it to his waist, and raised the reins to drive the horse, "Drive." The murderous intent in his eyes gradually rose.

In the dew car, perhaps the weather was too hot, so Wuzang Sirou leaned on the pillar of the chariot without covering his clothes, and was unmoved when he saw the emperor coming on horseback.

"I thought His Majesty would send someone to kill Sirou to silence her."

"If I want to kill you, you won't even be able to get out of the Xingqing Palace." The emperor said coldly while holding the hilt of his sword.

"Where are you taking me after walking for so long?"

"As a prisoner of war, where else can you go?"

Wuzang Sirou propped his head and thought for a while, "The inner palace of the emperor?" Then he covered his mouth and laughed, "It was rumored in the past that the emperor and the empress of the Eastern Dynasty raised their cases and raised their eyebrows like a folk couple living together and had a son. The Son of Heaven fears that the middle palace avoids foreign relatives and dare not take concubines, just like Li Yuanhao did back then, but he still took the whole harem in the end."

The woman spoke Chinese, and the soldiers guarding her on one side shouted loudly: "Presumptuous!"

The emperor raised his hand towards him, and drove his horse closer to the dew cart, "Do you want to know the answer?"

"Sirou doesn't care about His Majesty's family affairs. Sirou only cares about which city Sirou will settle down in the future or which piece of land she will sleep in forever."

The emperor pulled the rein and turned around, turned his back and said, "I will not kill you. War has nothing to do with women, but I want you to stay in Kaifeng as Li Yuanhao's last wife." Then he turned his head, "Let you watch, The prosperity of the future."

-------------------------------

Wang Shi entered Gyeonggi, and the news spread throughout Kaifeng. The King of Han led his officials to line up outside the Wansheng Gate in the new city to greet him. At dawn, sergeants from the sub-district division beat gongs and drums at the entrances of the streets to announce the news.

All of a sudden, wine became the most popular thing in the city, and all the taverns in the city set up sheds on the street to sell wine at a reduced price.

Next to the restaurant, there is a merchant selling drinks. The shopkeeper sits on a bench with a cattail leaf fan and yells at passers-by, "Cure the disease if you are sick, strengthen your body if you are not sick, drink with fragrant berries, drink with perilla, and all kinds of drinks." Hanging in front of the shop is a The signboard on the long flag reads: Zhangjia Yinzi, and there is another notice board at the door saying that the soldiers who go out to the expedition will not charge money.

At the beginning of June in the 12th year of Qianyuan, Master Wang entered Kaifeng and stopped for a while on the official road. The emperor summoned his ministers and "sent a team of forbidden troops to escort all the concubines, including the queen, from the north of the city to the sky prison in Kaifeng mansion." , don’t use dew cars and let them be exposed to the eyes of the common people.”

"Yes."

Li Shiji followed the emperor on horseback, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to all people."

The emperor shook his head lightly, "Eliminate the evil and do everything, but what's wrong with them? I am not the way of heaven, and Li Yuanhao is not evil. They are all poor people who cannot help themselves but fell to this place because of my selfish desires."

"The official family cares about the country, and restoring the ancestral foundation and recovering the rivers and mountains is the merit of all ages. No matter what the reason is, the official family is already the holy son of heaven in the hearts of the subjects."

"Holy Son of Heaven?" The emperor held the rein in his hand, lowered his head and smiled, "I'm afraid they will soon be called a foolish emperor again."

"..."

The Bianhe River passes through the Wansheng Gate, and the willows on both sides are much more lush than last year. Civil and military officials line up in front of the Wansheng Gate.

The emperor raised his hand to signal the army to stop, and immediately gave a few words to the general beside him.

The kneeling officials all looked up when they saw the army suddenly stop.

All the commanders of the Shenji Battalion waved their flags, and the soldiers with guns stepped forward and pointed at the sky. As the flags were lowered, deafening gunshots rang out.

The sudden gunshots from the sky startled all civil and military officials. They lowered their heads in fear and trepidation. Many civil servants wiped their sweat and lay on the ground with their heads turned to look at their colleagues. It's God."

The young man led the courtiers to kneel down to greet him, "Sir, Han Wang Wei Zongren welcomes His Majesty's triumphant return." One year passed, and the young man grew a lot taller than before.

"Your Majesty welcomes His Majesty's triumphant return." The scene of thousands of officials in Beijing kneeling together seems to be seen only during sacrifices and new moons.

"Get up, Zhu Qing, guard the rear for me so that I don't have to worry about the future, it's hard work."

The servant at his side helped the King of Han up, and the young man raised his hand lightly, and then walked forward alone to take the rein of the imperial horse, "I know that my father has won the battle, and my son has been so happy that he can't sleep these days. My son congratulates my father for recovering Hexi." .”

The emperor looked at the new servant next to the King of Han, who was very unfamiliar, and immediately turned his head and asked, "Is your mother okay?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, everything is as usual in the palace, and the empress is also very good, but she is concerned about His Majesty every day, and is always worried about His Majesty's safety." The young man walked into Tokyo City leading the royal horse.

There are countless people kneeling outside the human wall formed by the forbidden army. Unlike in the past when they stood and watched, when Master Wang entered the capital, the people all knelt to greet the holy driver.

"these people..."

"Your Majesty didn't tell them to kneel down to greet them, but since the mutual market, there have been many merchants in Hexi in Tokyo City. Your Majesty has won the hearts of the people of the two places in this battle, and other countries have also sent envoys to the court. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival has passed, they will The Great Court Conference has been postponed for one month, Your Majesty has just returned to the Great Court Conference?"

"As usual, don't let the envoys of various countries go for nothing."

"Yes."

The voice of Shan Hu Long live became louder and louder, and could be heard even standing on the turret of the palace city. Xiao Youqing changed into the red clothes worn by the pilgrimage to the holy face, and stood on the tower with twelve flower branches and phoenix crowns. It was full, and the figures were blurred and could not be distinguished clearly, only the bustling shouts could be heard from the crowd.

A gray-haired servant approached the woman, crossed his hands and said, "Saint."

"What's the situation in the north of the city?"

"Before the official's family returned to Beijing, there was a group of people who escorted the prisoners of war from the north of the city into the new city. They escorted Li's concubines and family members. Among them was the queen whom the saint wanted to inquire about. The official family met alone in the Xingqing Palace. I missed him, and later on the way back to Beijing, the official family met once..."

"The chaos in Hexi cannot be separated from this woman..." Xiao Youqing clenched Zhu's sleeve tightly, "I'm really curious if this woman is as captivating as they say."

"The gossip from the army said that this woman was dissolute by nature. Before the government broke through Xingqing, she had an affair with many generals who defended the city, making those generals so fascinated by her that they would risk their lives..." The servant As he was talking, he couldn't continue, and then he was worried: "Even the monarch of a country can abolish his heir for her, and the villain is worried that if he keeps this person..."

"Kui Guang thinks that if she can take away the soul of the enemy's monarch, she can also take away the hearts of the officials?"

The servant immediately folded his hands and knelt down, "The villain dare not."

The sound of Shanhu gradually spread into the inner capital, Xiao Youqing turned around and walked down the stone steps, "I know better than you what kind of people the officials are."

The servant knelt down on the spot, then slowly bowed his waist and kowtowed his head, closed his old eyes and replied: "Yes."

Seeing the Queen leave, several servants standing in the distance stepped forward to help Zhao Ping up, "Everyone knows Zhao Ping."

Zhao Ping leaned on the city wall with his waist bent, "I'm old, I don't know how many years I can serve by the saint's side."

"We all know that we must have a long life."

"People will grow old. Birth, old age, sickness and death cannot escape. Who can stay young forever? Officials are still in their prime, and so are saints. Being old has its benefits, but after the prime of life, what should you do?" How about this, the official conquest took back all the military power of the Xiao family, and the prestige of the government and the public is not comparable to that of the previous emperor."

"You all know that you are worried about the saint, but the official's heart for the saint..."

"Ten years and 20 years can be the same, that's because you are still young, who can say for sure after 30 or 40 years."

The servants scratched their heads, "The villain never thought about such a long-term thing, but the saint has his own considerations, and we all know that the villain and the villain are neither saints nor officials, so we can't empathize with them. Saints believe in officials. It’s because I understand enough, the villain listened to Mammy, trust enough to have deep affection, and enough affection to be invincible.”

Zhao Ping turned around, "I adopted you just to see how clever you are, and I hope you can take good care of the saint after me."

"Yes, sons must keep in mind the teachings of foster father."
