He explained to several women how to deal with the last few men of the Tuoba family. Huang Qiong didn't look at the women anymore, looked at himself with extremely disappointed eyes, turned around and left the room. When she came to her study room and looked at the setting sun outside the window, Huang Qiong fell silent. He found that he was no longer like himself before, and was becoming more and more cold-blooded.
Facing the women of the Wang family, they had served diligently during this period and looked at them with pleading eyes every day, but they never nodded and let the Tuoba family go. Even though the two principal wives of Tuoba Jiqian, Zongshi and Yeli Mulan, lowered their bodies and served him with their mouths, he never nodded. It's not that he didn't notice the despair in the eyes of the girls today, but he still didn't feel soft at all.
Compared with his past self, Huang Qiong felt that he was a little different from his current self. The old man always said that he had grown up. If this kind of cold-blooded change was called growth, Huang Qiong believed that he had indeed taken advantage of the old man's wishes. Even at this time, Huang Qiong clearly knew that this kind of cold-bloodedness was an inevitable change for those in power, but Huang Qiong still thought that she had changed.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Huang Qiong misses her family far away in the capital at this moment. When Zhang Qian arrived, he brought a letter from home that Situ Huanshuang had brought to him. In the letter, Situ Huanshuang told him that everything was fine at home. The whole family has now moved into Shangyang Palace, but all the men in the mansion are left outside the palace. Now all the male servants in the mansion have been replaced by eunuchs.
Those eunuchs were carefully selected by the emperor himself. The maid and mother-in-law stayed behind and moved to the palace with them. Liu Hu is now the leader of the Shangyang Palace guards, and Wu Ziyu, Liu Hanyan and other daughters have also moved to the palace. The empress and Concubine Shen often come to see everyone. Everyone is doing well now, so he must take care of himself in Longyou and not worry about his family.
Along with this Feng family number, there were also winter clothes brought to him by the girls, as well as some nutritional supplements. Looking at this family letter, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel warm in her heart when she thought of the beautiful faces and various charms of the girls. I feel that compared with those emperors and generals in the past, I still have a touch of humanity, and I am not so cold-blooded that I don't even care about my family.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong picked up a pen and wrote a reply to the daughters at home. Tell them that the rebellion in Ningxia Mansion has been largely suppressed, and it is estimated that his return to Beijing will not be too far away. I am doing well in Longyou, so don't worry about them. You have to take care of yourself. If the girls lose weight by the time he comes back, he won't be able to spare them. Also, they were told to be wary of Concubine Shen.
Thinking of Duan Jin who was about to give birth, Huang Qiong also gave a special instruction in the letter, telling Duan Jin to pay attention to his body and bones and not to worry too much. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must go to your mother. My mother-in-law has nothing to say to her. I have not forgotten what I promised her before coming here, and I will definitely try to get back to the capital before the child is one month old.
Just when Huang Qiong put down his pen, dried the ink on the letter, and was about to send someone to send it out. The ladies of the Gong family suddenly came to the study. When he saw Huang Qiong, he knelt down and kowtowed desperately to Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong begged Huang Qiong, considering how hard they had served these days, to let Tuoba Dezhao or Tuoba Jichong go. As long as they can leave a root for the Tuoba family, they are willing to do anything.
Looking at the women kneeling in front of him, he remembered the passion and tenderness every night during these days. Huang Qiong's heart still softened to a certain extent due to the various amorous feelings the two women had when they were in love. But after gritting his teeth, Huang Qiong, who knew that this hole could not be opened, still said: "Stop begging. Even if you kneel down tomorrow morning, the King of the Tuoba family will never pardon me."
In response to Huang Qiong's determination, Rongshi raised her head and stared at Huang Qiong and said, "King of England, are you really so heartless? You don't care at all. These days, our sisters, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who serve us without any shame, must be Are you going to wipe out the Tuoba family? King Ying, aren't you afraid that after you make this decision, our sisters will do something that will destroy us together?"
Hearing the threat from the Zong family, Huang Qiong walked up to her, raised her face, and although she was over forty years old, she still had a beautiful face and said with a faint smile: "Perish together? You must have the ability. Don't forget, if you follow the rules According to the laws of the imperial court, you should have been sold into slavery by the officials a long time ago, or abandoned in the market together with Tuoba Jichong, uncle and nephew. There is a saying, have you ever heard of the saying, "Zilun"? "
"You can still live well in my palace now, that is to say, this king is particularly gracious to you for serving these days. Mr. Wang, don't push your limits. There are some things that you shouldn't interfere with, so don't think too hard. Get involved in it. Also, since they supported their father and brother to commit rebellion, they should have expected the outcome today. This is how the king becomes the king and the bandits lose."
In response to Huang Qiong's answer, Ms. Wang could not get rid of Huang Qiong's hand holding her chin. She could only stare at Huang Qiong with a pair of big angry eyes and said: "Kill us. Since my husband died because of you. In your hands, I also lost my virginity in your hands, but I couldn't even save a child, so there is no point in our lives. If you are still a human being, kill us."
Wang's stubbornness made Huang Qiong feel a little soft-hearted when thinking of the women in her own family who were also devoted to her. Sighing softly: "Why do you bother? You are already Tuoba Jiqian's second cousin, why do you need to be buried with him? The Pingxia tribe no longer exists, and you don't want to go to the dark side. Follow me. Go back to Beijing, I will take care of you for the rest of your life."
"Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the Gangbu. The Gangbu is a small tribe with only seven or eight thousand people. I know full well that I want to destroy them. If you don't want any problems to happen to the Gangbu, I advise you to obey me honestly. Don’t even abandon your own clansmen for the sake of an unworthy man who is now dead.”
Having said this, Huang Qiong glanced at the two daughters of the Yeli clan and the Wei Mu clan with a cold expression, and said lightly: "Although the Yeli clan and the Wei Mu clan no longer exist, the people of your two clans Still, if you don’t want your people to be sent to do coolies like the Pingxia tribe, then serve me honestly. Don’t have any unreasonable thoughts and try to do things you can’t do.”
Seeing Yeli Mulan, his daughter-in-law and niece, his expression changed after hearing his words, but Huang Qiong said calmly: "Yelibu, life and death now are only a matter of a word from me. .As for your tribesmen, whether they will be assigned to the border troops as slaves or sold as slaves by the officials, or they can continue to live peacefully, it all depends on how you two behave in the future."
"I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone create endless connections. But how they end up in the future depends on whether you can satisfy me in the future. I won't force you now. Go back and think about it yourself. Come and tell me the answer. In a moment, I will arrange for someone to take you to meet your tribe. As for the execution tomorrow, you don’t have to go and see it.”
After that, he waved his hand and ordered the four women to be taken away. But when the four women were taken down, Huang Qiong looked at their beautiful backs, smiled bitterly and shook his head. Huang Qiong is not the kind of person who uses his family as a threat. The reason why he uses his family to threaten them today is just to give them hope of living. Although nomadic tribes have always had the custom of following the stepson after the husband dies.
In these tribal traditions, women are their property just like the cattle and horses they graze. Regardless of whether they are married or not, whoever grabs it belongs to whom. Among these tribes, women have become accustomed to relying on the strong. Regardless of whether they are married or not, as long as they fall into the hands of another man, they will still have to bear children and herd cattle and sheep for that man. On the grassland, there is no such thing as observing the festival.
Even if her new master is the enemy who killed her husband, she can't have any complaints. But Huang Qiong didn't see this in these four women. Perhaps since the founding of the People's Republic of China more than a hundred years ago, it is still difficult for Dangxiang people to completely get rid of the tribal system, but after all, the degree of Chineseization has been profound. Although he had to make sacrifices with himself in order to keep Tuoba Dezhao, his heart was still where Tuoba had moved.
Now that Tuoba Jiqian is dead, Tuoba Jichong and Tuoba Dezhao will clarify the canon of punishment tomorrow. They sacrificed their chastity in their eyes, but failed to keep the heirs of the Tuoba family as they wished. I'm afraid these women are already despairing. Especially that Wang family, the death-seeking attitude in his eyes was quite obvious. If he doesn't threaten them with their tribesmen, they can survive.
I'm afraid I will see one or several corpses tonight. I don't necessarily want them to be grateful to me in the future, as long as they understand my painstaking efforts in the future. In any case, these women are also very attentive when serving themselves. Especially that Ms. Wang, although she is the oldest among the four girls, her lively and fragrant look is her favorite.
I hope they can live well and not end up dead because of temporary anger. As for their own painstaking efforts, it's up to them whether they can understand it. After all, this kind of thing ultimately depends on themselves. But before Huang Qiong could calm down, a woman's voice came from outside the study: "The King of England really worked hard, but they may not be able to understand it."
He raised his head and looked at someone who had come outside his study. Judging from her words, it seemed that the daughter-in-law of Li Jiedu who had been listening for a long time was also the adopted daughter of Privy Dong, and her daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law, who is the same age as Mr. Wang, is standing outside her study. This time when Zhang Qian came to Lingzhou, he not only brought the two women he had rewarded with him, but also brought these two women with him.
Seeing these two women, Huang Qiong gently touched his forehead, obviously having a headache. Li Jiedu's second wife was nothing. This woman, who was born in a family of ordinary scholars, has a very gentle temperament and is the kind of woman who puts her husband first in everything. On the contrary, this woman named Dong Qianhong has a very bad temper and is really difficult to deal with.
The Li family's father and son have been brought to justice, and she has never thought about saving her husband and father-in-law. The reason why she chased him all the way from Huanzhou to Lingzhou was probably mostly because of her adoptive father. And what to do with her adoptive father depends on the results of the house raid. At least judging from the reports he received, according to court law, it was inevitable that his adoptive father's head would not be saved.
Huang Qiong ignored the woman's words. He just picked one out of the pile of papers in front of him and threw it to her: "Since you were born in the Dong family, you must also be educated and literate. See for yourself, this is Nanzhen Fusi who only came from the Dong family. The property plundered from the palace in the capital. How much people’s fat and anointing are needed to satisfy your father’s greed?”
