Chapter 68: Harem Belonging

Li Xiang and Meng Xueqing murmured about their own affairs in the past few years, Meng Xueqing nodded again and again, claiming that the second brother Xia Dade naturally needless to say, it is his own family who is not polite, but the Jungger Department is so righteous and helpful, and in the future, it will definitely form an alliance with it for generations to share the good of Qin and Jin, and Li Xiang is now the master of Dzungar Khan, so he naturally has to give some face.

Meng Xueqing thought for a while and asked, "By the way, General Li, how do you know that Shandong is in danger?" ”

"Oh, Mrs. Qiyu, here's the thing, I was leading the army to sneak into the border. Our spies found me and sent a letter to my lord. However, I never received a reply, so I could only hide in the mountain col with my soldiers, lest the court find out that the situation today is a bit chaotic, and I have received too little information outside the country, so I dare not act rashly. It's better to wait and see what happens, and wait for the lord's reply. Later, I got a reply, claiming that Shandong was in an emergency, so I led the army to rush to the rescue. On the way, I also sent a letter to Xu Yang in accordance with the will of the lord, so that he would no longer be in a hurry to return to help, and it was the right way to completely eliminate the remnants of the imperial army. So far, Xu Yangbu doesn't even have a shadow, but I killed it, hey, I'm finally home, and it feels good to be home. Li Xiang said.

Meng Xueqing nodded, the sky has eyes, help my Lu family, this qiē was something Lu Bing didn't expect at first. Lu Bing never thought that Zhu Houxi would die and come back to life, abandon the capital to attack Shandong, and after cooking, he also did not expect Lu Bing to be able to attack Kyoto. However, the fate is different is that Lu Bing got the arrival of good luck, and at the critical juncture, Li Xiang actually came back and arrived with strong reinforcements. Now that everything is ready, Li Xiang has solved the temporary crisis in Shandong. And Xu Yang can also free up his hands to deal with Qi Jingtong and wipe out all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

Meng Xueqing talked about the battle on the southeast front of Shandong. Then asked Li Xiang what to do, Li Xiang said that his soldiers were tired from running long distances, so it had little effect on going into battle, and said that the Shandong Reserve Army was also damaged by Yan Zòng, so it was better to stay here and stick to the city to prevent the defeat of the imperial court. Now the Shandong Reserve Army of the Lu Jiajun is enough to be evenly matched with Chen Hong's soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and it is not a problem to attack or defend.

Li Xiang and his subordinates needed a little rest for half a day. Then immediately went to the southern front to rescue. Meng Xueqing thanked her, arranged for someone to prepare grain and grass and some advanced ordnance for Li Xiang, and sent the organizers. The 30,000 volunteers in the city of Texas acted as people's husbands, escorting grain, grass, artillery and other items to take the lead. These things are not a problem at all for local operations in Shandong, just replenish them all the way, and as for heavy weapons, they need comprehensive support. That's not the point. So I won't show it for the time being.

There are a lot of things to deal with after Lu Bing takes the capital. There are also a lot of people to meet. Lu Bing went to the harem first, and he didn't know who leaked the news, or if the harem women were waiting for Lu Bing, and Lu Bing saw hundreds of women kneeling on the ground. According to the development of history, generally at this time, after the new ruler enters the palace, he will dismiss some of the harem beauties for two reasons, one is to make an example of the world. shows that he is not close to women, and he is worried that some women have the former emperor in their hearts. Assassinate in the sleep of the new superior.

But there are also many emperors who have fully accepted the original harem and continued to expand themselves, after all, most of the women in the palace are beautiful and fragrant, and there is a sense of contempt and conquest for the former emperor in it. As for the emotional aspect, there is no need to consider it, as soon as he enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on, Xiao Lang is a passerby, and they are all power and sex transactions, where is there still true feelings at all. Even if the women who get out of the palace, most of them are old and decrepit, or average-looking but with prominent family backgrounds, and now they have lost their power. Zhu Houxi's harem can be described as the most magnificent harem in the history of the Ming Dynasty, for example, the hundreds of women in front of him are only a small part of the palace, and there are thousands of women who can sleep in the harem.

Lu Bing sighed and shook his head, eating color is also, Lu Bing never rejects these, even he is a wife and two concubines. There is no banquet without wine, and there are few people on the colorless road, but this qiē must be done in moderation, such as Zhu Houxi's actions are a bit excessive.

Lu Bing looked at these women and secretly worried, he didn't know how to deal with it, this is not an enemy, he can be co-opted or all released or even killed, these are just some weak women, and the women present were also frightened, not knowing what Lu Bing was going to do. Where does the woman who enters the palace have any real feelings with the emperor, let alone such a ruthless emperor, who has kicked a queen to death and abolished a queen over the years, treats other women as a beating, and abuses those who are not as good as the quality. The emperor's favorite cat "Lion Cat" ate a palace maid, and Zhu Houxi laughed. The usual humiliation day and night makes these harem ladies worse than death, I have heard that Lu Bing is a benevolent person, today I secretly looked at Lu Bing with his spare eyes, he was in his thirties, he was dignified, tall and straight, these ladies were thinking that if they could still stay in the palace and serve Lu Bing, it would not be in vain to be a woman.

Who is the most powerful in the palace today, of course, is Feng Bao, and Feng Bao has become the chief of the eunuchs. Lu Bing is like this, if he doesn't even use his cronies, who is willing to serve himself and die for himself? This is different from the way of being an official, being an official pays attention to not being a relative is to use it and promoting virtue and does not avoid being a relative, but now Lu Bing is fighting for himself, so he naturally has to hand over important work to trustworthy people. Feng Bao is such a person, in charge of the things that the eunuchs in the palace should be in charge of, it is also an important job, after all, Lu Bing is in charge of the palace, if the eunuch wants to make it bad at night, it is impossible to prevent it, even if the martial arts are high, but the open gun is easy to block and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, so you must use your own people.

Feng Bao naturally became the best candidate, Lu Bing looked at the woman on the ground, his mind was racing, and he wanted to ask where they were, in the face of so many beauties, it was impossible for a normal man not to be tempted, but Lu Bing had too many things to do, and he didn't have time to take care of them. I don't know what Lu Bing is thinking, the kneeling legs of the women kneeling on the ground hurt, but no one dares to speak, let alone complain, this is an opportunity to be Zhu Houxi's harem, belonging to the body of guilt, everyone just heard about Lu Bing, and no one really understands him. If he is a person with a grudge, now that he has fallen into the hands of Lu Bing, in case he collides, he is afraid that he will be deflated in the future, and he may even be worse than dead.

Feng Bao was bold. Coughing lightly, Lu Bing pulled his thoughts back, looked at Feng Bao and patted him on the shoulder, and then said to the girls with a smile: "Let's all be flat." After the women thanked in unison, they stood solemnly according to their ranks, and Lu Bing asked, "Feng Bao, what about Empress Xia?" ”

The so-called Empress Xia refers to Zhu Houzhao's queen, Feng Bao replied: "Spring will be in the spring this year." ”

Lu Bing nodded, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart. No matter who you are, you can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and the queen has really suffered from the invisible humiliation in the summer over the years, and she has entered Beijing to make her own decisions. Seeing that the good days were coming, why didn't you live until then? Lu Bingdao: "Arrange it and give it a nickname." "You don't need to ask Lu Bing to know that Zhu Houxi didn't give anything to Queen Xia. He hated it very much when others compared him to Zhu Houzhao. In the great ceremonial struggle, he was also stimulated to go crazy, and he always felt that his name was not right, so Zhu Houxi basically denied Zhu Houzhao's qiē matter. As for Zhu Houzhao's family, in addition to showing superficial respect to the Empress Dowager Zhang, they basically ignore Yizhi. Now that Empress Xia has been dead for too long, there is no need to do a new funeral, as long as you give enough respect to the undead, it will be worthy of the rebel brother Zhu Houzhao.

Lu Bing asked again: "What about the Empress Dowager Zhang?" "The Empress Dowager Zhang is Zhu Houzhao's biological mother. Since he has taken the capital, he naturally has to treat his brother's mother well. Feng Bao replied: "It's been a year. ”

"Hey. Life is short, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, even if you are in a high position, it is inevitable to change the court, it is better to be happy for a lifetime, and you will die in a sad life. Lu Bing was moved, and then announced to the women: "Listen, all the beautiful ladies and actresses selected in the palace who are willing to go out of the palace and go home can go to the Internal Affairs Bureau to receive silver taels. If he does not want to, or has no place to return, he shall marry one of our soldiers and be his wife and concubine. There is no compulsion, the choice is yours. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, no one thought that Lu Bing could play such a hand, Lu Bing said that he was about to leave, Feng Bao followed two steps and asked, "What about the concubines in the palace?" ”

Lu Bing smiled at Feng Bao and said: "Leave them, don't abuse them, the things that are used on weekdays are supplied normally, but there is no need to give them if they are too extravagant." If Zhu Houxi is still alive after I seize the world, I will return all these women to him, and how many people will really love him at that time, it will not be a matter of my heart. ”

After Lu Bing finished speaking, Feng Bao was dumbfounded, the amount of information Lu Bing said just now was too much, what Zhu Houxi was still alive, what was given back to him, since he had seized the world, why did he have to spare his life, Lu Bing was really an incomprehensible person.

Lu Bing walked out of the harem, and he didn't need to drive, he walked forward with the guards beside him, and asked as he walked: "Are you all married?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, we don't have a wife." The guard replied.

Lu Bing nodded and asked, "Do you think those women are beautiful just now?" ”

"Pretty." The guards smiled innocently, Lu Bing never put on any show, as long as it was not when the army was marching and fighting and distributing orders, Lu Bing was kind as if he was the neighbor's big brother.

Lu Bing asked again: "Are you willing to choose one of them as a wife or concubine?" ”

"Yes." The crowd burst into laughter.

Lu Bing knew in his heart, there were no women in these elite air cavalry beside him, and most of the remaining troops were estimated to be even less. Those young men are busy with drills and wars, where are the women from, how can they not have an accident after a long time, and when the time comes, it will not be a bad military style to rob the people's women. They are all bloody men, they are all at the age of the bloody Fanggang, and it is inevitable that they will be restless, sometimes they are not bad people, or that sentence is sexual, but there is a knife on the head of the color word, and if you don't solve this problem, you are afraid that it will be bad. So it's time to find them a woman, these women have a home, and the soldier's problem is solved. Moreover, the Lu family has been operating in Shandong for many years, even though Shandong is a Confucian township, but it has also been diluted by Lu Bing a lot over the years, and there are some emerging ideas. Most of the women selected by Zhu Houxi into the palace have been mistreated by him, so Lu Bing did not say that he had to be his wife when he died, for fear of making it difficult for the soldiers, as for how to come with these soldiers.

Lu Bing said: "Then I'll let you pick first, but you also heard those concubines and concubines just now, but you can't pick them." I'm sorry for you, as the saying goes, if you want to rob the emperor, you want to sleep with a sleeping mother, but I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity. The crowd burst out laughing again.

Lu Bing's pace was extremely fast, and after walking for about a cup of tea, he came to the Wenhua Palace, where several ministers were sitting there and discussing matters in a low voice. Lu Bing walked over, asked the soldiers to stand outside the door to guard, and made the first seat himself, and said to one of them: "Xia Shoufu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
