It wasn't dark yet, Cao Li and Shen Changsheng had already left, and the big Huamanlou suddenly became deserted.
Zhao Kai did not send his colleagues off like a real official, but just asked the old housekeeper Li Dajue to see him off - this Li Dajuan was the godson of Li Xian, the military eunuch of the Shenzong Dynasty. After Li Xian lost power, he suffered from bad luck for several years. Later, he worked with Tong Guan and became a minister of Shaanxi's Fifth Route Inquisition. Later, because he had no confidence in Xuanhe's Northern Expedition, he kept complaining of illness. It was not until Zhao Kai came to the throne that he was recommended to Zhao Kai by Wang Xiaode and Baiside, two great men from Prince Yun's palace.
However, Zhao Kai did not need a military eunuch, so he did not reuse him. He was only asked to guard the title of Zhao's governor and take care of Hua Niangzi's foreign residence.
While Li Shun was sending Cao Li and Shen Changsheng away, Zhao Kai, who was full of wine and food, began to walk around in his outer house.
This is a two-story building with a brick and wood structure. It is very exquisitely built, and the furniture placed in it is also of high quality. There are also many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. You can tell that they are all by famous artists without looking at them.
In addition, this flower lady seems to have become superstitious about Taoism recently. Zhao Kai sees a talisman from time to time in her small building... Oh, and there are many Buddha statues. Wouldn't it conflict if the things from these two families are put together?
There are not many maids and servants in the small building. They are all busy clearing away the dishes and chopsticks, so no one is following Zhao Kai... This kind of "quiet home" without a lot of people following behind "Life", for Zhao Kai today, he can only enjoy it at Hua Niangzi.
In addition, there is another advantage to playing Zhao Bupo here as Hua Niangzi. You don’t have to worry about who you sleep with at night!
Although Zhao Kai was poor in his previous life, he never worried about such trivial matters.
At that time, he was still a young man who cultivated his moral character and slept alone at night.
But now he even has to worry about this!
A queen, two concubines, thirty "school beauties" and a slave are waiting!
He has to let everyone get wet with rain and dew!
But here at Hua Niangzi, she is the only option.
So after dinner, Zhao Kai would go to the bedroom on the second floor...
"Master, let me wash your feet."
The flower lady's soft and waxy voice sounded in Zhao Kai's ears, and he realized that he had arrived in the dormitory unknowingly. Hua Niangzi has already made the bed, prepared a basin of hot foot washing water, a basin of face washing water, mouthwash, and already hot towels... Of course, she herself was still talking to Zhao Kai. When people drink, they have already finished bathing. Now she was only wearing a red satin tube top and a white albizia skirt on her lower body, and she was bending down to give a blessing to Zhao Kai.
As soon as she put on this cool outfit, she couldn't hide her one-in-a-million figure... Even Zhao Kai, who was used to seeing the "school beauty troupe" in the harem, saw this figure. He couldn't help but praise: "She is really as beautiful as a flower and a jade!" He paused, and then said: "It seems that I did the right thing by staying in Kaifeng Mansion to defend the city... Even if the gold The thief is here for a million dollars!"
As Zhao Kai spoke, he strode to an armchair in the room, then got on it, waiting for the beautiful lady in front of him to serve her carefully... This kind of treatment was not the only one in the Song Dynasty. Only officials can enjoy it, and this is something almost every household in the feudal bureaucratic class has!
Of course, the beauty of this flower girl is very rare at all times.
"Master," Lady Hua asked worriedly as she took off Zhao Kai's boots, "are there really millions of gold thieves?"
"It's only said to be a million..." Zhao Kai closed his eyes and said nonchalantly while enjoying the "foot bath" service, "If it's all bluffing, how could there be so many? It's four to five million if you give it a try." , and this still includes the number of people who were supported by Ali Xi."
It turns out that the news of the Jin soldiers' large-scale march south had reached Kaifeng Mansion yesterday.
This time, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty personally led the expedition. It is said that he mobilized the entire country's troops. The army was said to be one million, and he wanted to defeat the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
After Zhao Kai learned the news, he immediately decided to send General Jinwu Guards, Songzhou Governor, and Zhao Bupo, the commander in front of the palace... that is, he himself led 100,000 elite troops out of Kaifeng Mansion to meet the enemy!
According to the plan, troops will be dispatched within three days!
That's why Zhao Kai took the time to enjoy Lady Hua today...enjoying it will make you full of energy!
"Four to five million... seems to be a lot!" Lady Hua looked at Zhao Kai with some horror.
It's not that she was afraid of the four to five million gold soldiers, but that she was frightened because Zhao Kai's current behavior was so unlike Zhao Kai...
Zhao Kai, what a talented coward!
How could we not be afraid of hundreds of thousands of gold thieves?
Queen Zhu Fengying may not know about Zhao Kai's intimidation - she had not been married to Zhao Kai for many days, and Zhao Kai had not been close to Zhu Fengying because he thought of Zhu Lian when he saw Zhu Fengying.
But Lady Hua and Lady Pan are both truly caring and considerate women who have followed Zhao Kai for many years!
They had seen Zhao Kai's cowardice - when the news of Tong Guan's defeat at Yanyun came, Zhao Huan's party members in the court recommended Zhao Kai to go on the expedition, which frightened His Highness King Yun.
I hugged Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Hua and cried a lot!
Why are you brave now?
Tens of thousands of Khitan people could scare him to tears, but now that there are hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers, he is not afraid anymore.
Is this normal?
Isn’t it said that the country is easy to change but the nature is hard to change?
Where has Zhao Kai's true nature gone?
Zhao Kai didn't know that Hua Niangzi's thoughts were so delicate (in fact, he had been deliberately avoiding Pan Cailian, but he had no scruples about Hua Niangzi), but he still looked indifferent and said with a smile: "It would be nice to have more... ...It just so happens that the strong city of Kaifeng Prefecture is destroyed in one fell swoop! In this way, they will not dare to come again in the future, and we can live peacefully in Kaifeng Prefecture for a few years!"
"Master, are you...really not afraid?" Lady Hua looked at Zhao Kai, her big eyes filled with tears.
"Afraid? Huh..." Zhao Kai snorted and continued to talk nonsense, "I have never been afraid since I grew up!"
"Sir, how old are you?"
"Eighteen...no, twenty-six, I'm twenty-six!"
At this time, Zhao Kai also found that Lady Hua was a little frightened. He opened his eyes and looked at Lady Hua, who was already crying. He smiled and said, "Madam, why are you crying? I'm not asking you to deal with gold thieves. Besides, we still have The fortified city of Kaifeng can be relied upon. At worst, if we hold on to the city, what is there to be afraid of?"
The flower lady hummed, nodded and said, "I have washed your feet... do you want to wipe yourself next?"
"No need..." Zhao Kai said with a smile, "I took a shower today! It's getting late now, madam, it's time to serve me properly, right?"
The flower lady forced out a smile and nodded: "Well, I will serve you well, so that I can go to the battlefield with full energy and kill all those million gold thieves!"
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Okay, well said!"
...
"Okay, okay, this is the Emperor's Village! Compared with the Emperor's Village in Huining, it's so small that it's almost gone!"
"Your Majesty, this is the Daming Palace, not the Emperor's Village..."
"Oh, where is the palace where Zhao Kai lives on weekdays? Let's sleep there tonight!"
"Your Majesty, Zhao Kai has never lived in Daming Prefecture. Like the Liao State, the Song Dynasty also implemented a five-capital system, namely Daming Prefecture in Beijing, Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing, Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Henan Prefecture in Xijing, and Jingzhao Prefecture. However, the officials of the Song Dynasty live in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo on weekdays, and the rest of the four capitals are all empty."
"Isn't this a waste? Let's take some money from the imperial treasury to buy some delicious food and drinks. Why are the officials of the Southern Dynasty so extravagant?"
While Zhao Kai was enjoying the exclusive service of Hua Niangzi, Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin Dynasty, who had come all the way, was begging to buy. Accompanied by Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Wushu, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Zonghan and others, Visit the Imperial Palace of Damingfu City. This will be his main residence in the next few months - here he will command a war that will determine the national destiny of the Song and Jin countries!
Logically speaking, it should be more difficult to go to the front line, but after Wanyan Wu Qimai entered the palace in Damingfu City, he was surprised to find that it was much more luxurious than his emperor's village in Huining, which could be considered magnificent!
Living here is like going to the front line, it's like enjoying a vacation!
Hearing Wanyan Wu Qimai mention using the court's money to buy food and drink, Wanyan Zonghan's cheeks got a little hot - back then, in order to buy Wu Qimai who had just become emperor, he joined forces with several Bojilie, Wu Qimai used the excuse of stealing money from the treasury to buy delicious food and beat up the emperor!
As a result, this Wu Qimai was narrow-minded and held a grudge. If anything happened, he would bring it up and gnash his teeth...
Others present also knew the meaning of Wu Qimai's last words, and they couldn't help but frown - in the face of a powerful enemy, we can't let dogs bite dogs.
So Wanyan's mother smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Your Majesty, I heard from Xie Bao that after the Song Dynasty is destroyed, you want to take some of the 400 military prefectures of the Song Dynasty and distribute them to everyone?"
Upon hearing this, the "big Wanyan" people who were following Wanyan Wu when he was begging for food became excited.
Today's Jurchens still maintain strong remnants of tribal feudalism and military democracy, otherwise Wu Qimai would not have been beaten for a trivial matter.
Wu Qimai smiled and nodded, "We can't let everyone work hard! We must let the meritorious people become the masters of a state and a county!"
Of course, the hard work cannot be in vain... He has fourteen sons and sixteen daughters, and one city for each person is thirty!
However, when the generals below heard this, they cheered excitedly: "Destroy the Song Dynasty and divide the territory! Divide the territory!"
Seeing everyone's morale rise, Wanyan Wu's begging face also became stern: "This battle is related to the rise and fall of Dajin... I will not hesitate to break the earth seal, and I hope you can go all out!"
