But how could these women dare to accept Huang Qiong's words? Especially in the DPRK, they were not completely unaware of the criticisms against a few of their own people after being revealed by thoughtful people. So they didn't dare to think about their status at all. When Huang Qiong said these words, they also thought that the master was comforting them. As for returning to the Chu family, they had already given up on this idea.
Except for the woman named Qingyun, whose expression was still extremely cold. The remaining people hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Qiong undress. Looking at the performances of the girls, Huang Qiong just smiled faintly. After pressing down the heads of Mrs. Chu's Chang and Yang, Qingyun, who remained silent and still had a very cold expression, peeled off several handfuls of them and held them in his arms for a while, feeling very frivolous.
It's just that the woman in his arms, no matter how evil she does, is the same as before, like a piece of wood with no reaction. But Huang Qiong, who came here with great interest, was somewhat disappointed. Feeling the other two people behind her, they massaged her carefully. Huang Qiong's voice became colder and said: "Why, serving me makes you sad like this? As the emperor of the dynasty, I am not as good as that scholar of yours?"
It's not like the woman didn't miss the coldness in Huang Qiong's tone. But he still said coldly: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, surrounded by thousands of concubines, and tens of thousands of people are dead. He is just a little scholar, and he can't even protect his wife. Who can compare with your Majesty? , as the Emperor of Qi Dynasty. But although I am just an ordinary woman, I still know what is good and evil."
"It's just that Your Majesty knew that I had a family, a husband, and children, but you still brought me from Xijing to Jingzhao. Even though you knew that I was unwilling to serve Your Majesty, you still took me by force and forced us to do this." What's the difference between this kind of thing and those of the Chu family? I'm afraid the only difference is that Your Majesty is just more powerful and can decide the life and death of everyone in the world."
Regarding this woman's words, Huang Qiong smiled instead of being angry: "Are you sure that even if I send you back, will your wife still accept you? To tell you the truth, before I returned to the capital, I sent someone to find her. They asked them if they would accept you if you went back. After all, if I don’t have the kind of woman I want, why would I leave an unwilling person behind?"
"When it comes to doing this kind of thing, I prefer obedience rather than a woman who is like a piece of wood. If my heart is not with me, I have no meaning in keeping you. Although you have served me a few times, I am also very fond of you. I like you. But as long as you are not pregnant and really want to go back, it doesn't matter if I let you go back. And if that person really wins, I will still use him again.
"The reason why I haven't let you go back until now. You can guess what that person said at that time? Then I will tell you clearly that he is the one you are obsessed with. Just tell me to send him. "You are a man who has lost his integrity when you first entered the Chu family. Their family is a family of scholars, and they have always adhered to etiquette, justice and integrity, and will not tolerate an unfaithful woman."
"He also said, if you hadn't attracted bees and butterflies in the first place, how could their family have caused such a disaster? I feel sorry for you if you leave my side, I don't know if you will meet the second Chu family again, so I forcefully Take you back to the capital. Oh, by the way, he has already married again. Even if I send you back now, it will no longer be your home. I feel sorry for you, so I never told you this."
After Huang Qiong said this, Qingyun was immediately confused. She knew that Huang Qiong, as the king of a country, would not deceive her about such things. Only then did she realize that she had become a joke. I thought wholeheartedly about that home, my former husband and children, and wanted to go back to that home. Because of that person, I almost committed suicide several times in order to protect my chastity in the Chu family.
After being forced to come to the emperor, he has been deliberately avoiding him. Even in order to avoid sleeping with the emperor in front of him, he had the courage to treat the king of a country coldly, but he got this result. Unfaithful person? Who is it for that I am like this now? Thinking of this, Qingyun was heartbroken. Even if I lose my integrity, is that what I want?
Looking at the young emperor in front of him, Qingyun, who was heartbroken at this moment, suddenly smiled miserably. Suddenly he went crazy, pushed Mrs. Chu Wu away, and took the initiative to sit on Huang Qiong's body for the first time. Later, she could no longer bear it and was still holding Huang Qiong desperately. It wasn't until he almost fainted and was unable to bear it that he let go of his hand and replaced it with someone else's.
At the end, Huang Qiong hesitated and left the last one to her. The next morning, Huang Qiong got up and got dressed under the service of Mrs. Chu San and Mrs. Wu. Before leaving, he asked the two women to give him some persuasion and comfort as he was exhausted and still sleeping. Then he kissed each of the two women on the face, patted the two women on the buttocks, and left.
Today is not called a day to get up, nor is it a day to go to court. So after returning to Wende Palace, Huang Qiong immediately sent people to recruit Fu Yuanshan, Yang Jiyuan, and Lu Mengzheng. Passing yesterday's report of Cao Rui's victory to several people: "Cao Rui won a great victory in Jiangnan this time. This battle can be said to have wiped out almost all the main force of the Jiangnan rebels, establishing the overall situation in Jiangnan."
"I want heavy rewards for meritorious generals at all levels. Those who should be knighted should be knighted, those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be made wives should be made wives. I have called you here today to discuss How to reward the generals at once. Also discuss what the next step should be. Should we go straight to Huanglong, or should we divide our forces to take back the Fujian and Guangnan East Roads first, and then concentrate our forces to attack the Guangnan West Road."
Regarding Huang Qiong's words, Fu Yuanshan pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I think the rebellion has not been completely subdued. Cao Rui can be promoted to the first rank first, and be granted the title of Deputy Privy Envoy, and his wife can be granted the title of Madam of the third rank. Zhao Wuye can be promoted to the first rank, and his wife can be granted the title of the fifth rank. The imperial edict is given by the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. Ouyang Shan himself wants to receive a title, so he does not want to be promoted to a title for the time being. He can be promoted to the commander of the Sima Army in front of the palace. "
"After the rebellion is completely suppressed, we will be awarded titles based on the situation and military merits. The other generals of the remaining armies will be promoted to one level first. As for the money and silk, I have also seen it. Ouyang Shan confiscated a large sum of money from the rebels in Ganzhou Prefecture. The property. I think it would be better to use 30% of it to reward the troops. The rebellion is still continuing, and the rebels have not been completely wiped out, so it is not time to reward them based on their merits."
"If the reward is given too early or too generously, I worry that the armies may not really work too hard in the future. Therefore, I believe that we should not give too many rewards at once. Otherwise, after the rebellion is all over, the court will not be able to It’s time to award rewards. It’s more appropriate to advance each of them to one level for the time being. It would be more appropriate to wait until the rebellion is completely wiped out for specific rewards.”
Huang Qiong thought about Fu Yuanshan's suggestion for a long time. He knew that this was what a mature man would do to seek a country. Indeed, the rebellion has not yet been completely wiped out, and the premature reward is too heavy. In the end, the court will have no choice but to reward him. Finally, he nodded: "Okay, let's follow Master Fu's wishes. After the rebellion is completely subdued, I will increase the reward. However, I think it is a decree, so I will still give it."
"When people fight hard for the court on the battlefield, isn't it just to get a wife and a son? Although the rebellion has not yet subsided, it is not appropriate for the court to give too generous rewards at the moment. But what should be given must still be given in full. In this way, Cao Rui Isn’t his eldest son also in the army? He was promoted to the first rank and awarded the title of Yunqi Lieutenant. Although Zhao Wuye’s son is still young, he is already ten years old, so he was also awarded the rank of Xiaoqi Lieutenant."
"For the rest of the meritorious generals, I will give generous rewards after the merit list is announced. I am still satisfied with the disposition of the military attachés at all levels who participated in the war and were promoted to the first level. I will personally draft the imperial edict for Cao Rui later. However, now I want to I want to discuss with you, what should we do in the next battle on the Jiangnan side? Should we divide our forces and attack the Fujian and Guangnan East Roads respectively, or should we directly attack the Guangnan West Road."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. After a long time, Yang Jiyuan said: "Your Majesty, because at present, Fujian Road is actually independent of the rebels. Moreover, the various prefectures on Fujian Road are now in chaos. Although there is no large-scale civil strife, each government is doing its own thing. . There is also a mansion that belongs to several different forces. At least in the short term, there will be no threats. "
"Although the Guangnan East Road is under the actual control of the rebel king, its military strength is quite weak. In fact, according to my wishes, the Fujian Road does not pose any threat to the imperial court now and can be put aside temporarily. Concentrate your forces, divide your troops to attack the two east and west roads of Guangnan, and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to attack Huanglong in one go. Guangnan West Road is the core area of the rebellion, while Guangnan East Road is close to the sea."
"Controlling Guangnan East Road is to prevent the rebels from fleeing to the sea. Directly capture Guangnan West Road and completely destroy the rebel nest in one go. Completely cut off their source of food and salary and undermine the morale of the rebels. As for Cao Rui's troops, I think it is not appropriate. It takes too long to rest. Guangnan West Road is located in a land of hundreds of barbarians, and there are many barbarian tribes. And these barbarian tribes are more suitable for the climate and terrain of Guangnan West Road."
"If the rebel king desperately recruits troops from the Yi tribes, they will recover in the shortest time. Guangnan West Road has been controlled by the Guilin County Prince's Palace for hundreds of years, and the Yi tribes are all afraid of the Guilin County Prince's Palace. If they rebel against the king If troops are forced to be recruited, I am afraid that no one from the barbarian tribes there will dare to resist. What's more, Guangnan West Road borders Dali Kingdom and Annan, so foreign enemies must be prevented from intervening."
"Just like what Prime Minister Fu said, the longer the rebellion lasts, the greater the drain on the world's vitality. Therefore, I thought that since the officers and soldiers have been concentrated on Jiangnan West Road, I would like to take advantage of the trend and go straight to Huanglong. For the best. Strive to work together to completely disintegrate the rebels at their roots. And seize the opportunity to establish the overall situation before foreign enemies intervene. Strive to completely resolve the rebellion in the shortest possible time."
Regarding Yang Jiyuan's suggestion, Fu Yuanshan, Lu Mengzheng and other civil servants did not interrupt. They were all civil servants and knew nothing about military affairs, so they did not interfere in which direction the next step should be taken. However, they all agreed with Yang Jiyuan's suggestion of going straight to Huanglong. At least the burden of money and food can finally let the court breathe a sigh of relief.
As for several people's comments, Huang Qiong frowned and did not answer immediately. Instead, he walked repeatedly in Wende Hall and pondered for a long time before saying: "You think that Fujian Road is divided into pieces and poses no threat. But what I am most worried about is the rebels on Fujian Road. Although the rebels on Fujian Road are now They have never been one, they and the main force of the rebels are just grasshoppers on the same rope."
"If the main force of the rebels is defeated, the remaining rebels on Fujian Road will not be able to escape severe punishment from the court. Especially the rebels on Fujian Road, most of them are local guards. Needless to say, they all understand the meaning of death and coldness. Once they are in the official army's strategy On the Guangnan East-West Second Road, blocking the middle and fighting out will not only cut off our army's food route going south, but also allow our elite troops in Jiangnan to be trapped alone on the Guangnan West Road."
