When the time was almost up, I asked someone to serve wine and food, and while inviting him to dinner, I talked: "I have my own arrangements for the harem, but why are you in such a hurry to give away your father's little wives?"
Meng Xuanzhe said: "The commander-in-chief has worked hard and made great achievements, of course it is to honor the commander-in-chief! This is their blessing."
Then he poured wine for him with both hands, and added in a low voice: "Furthermore, there are thousands of concubines in the palace, many of them are strong at a young age...choose to be sent to the palace, they don't understand anything, just like being raised in captivity , Some have relatives and friends, some are poor and well-off families, and it is estimated that they can't even find a home after more than ten years.
My father went to Daliang, so he couldn't support so many people.
At that time, there are relatives and friends among these concubines, and those who are in rich families are fine, so they can go home.
What's left to let them fend for themselves?That is to kill them!
Or just find a man who is willing to accept them as a cow or a horse, life will definitely not be easy, so a certain thinks that it is the best blessing for them to go back with the commander. "
Shi Congyun laughed loudly: "Bullshit, I can't fit so many people in my house."
"It's fine in the palace." Meng Xuanzhe opened his mouth and said it as a matter of course, and then realized that he had said something wrong, and kept silent in fear.
Shi Congyun didn't continue talking, but fell into deep thought. After a while, he beckoned for his own soldiers and asked them to arrange a tent for Meng Xuanzhe to live in.
After a while, when Fu Zhaoyuan led his soldiers to clean up the dishes, he suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, forgive me for talking too much, but I think what he said makes sense. It's not that you can't live in the palace. What else can people say when the country is gone..."
"Get lost." Shi Congyun kicked him out, "Stop talking nonsense outside."
Fu Zhao wished to shut up, and took his soldiers to pack up the dishes and go out. The night was not quiet, there was the orderly footsteps of patrolling soldiers outside the big tent, and unknown insects and birds were singing from time to time in the distance.
Shi Congyun was kept awake most of the night by Meng Xuanzhe and Fu Zhaoyuan.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Huanghua gave him a mink cloak, and moved a chair to sit obediently beside him. Shi Congyun stretched out his hand and wrapped the little girl in the cloak, and she leaned quietly on his shoulders.
The lights of the camp in the distance were dim, and the night sky above was dotted with stars. Under the starry sky, the city of Chengdu was submerged in shadows, with only twinkling spots of light leaking out.
.......
The next day, Shi Congyun called Shao Ji and asked him to bring the most elite and confidant soldiers under his command at the same time, and then asked Fu Zhaoyuan to bring over his obedient soldiers.
Many of these personal soldiers are the same group of recruits who lived and died with him in Gaoping back then. They fought with him for five or six years, and they all obeyed him. Their salaries were all paid by Shi Congyun himself, and they were very generous. .
Shi Congyun has a new task for these more than 1000 people. He talked with Meng Chang last night to get a good idea of the officialdom of the Shu Kingdom. He has been beaten to the bottom of the city, his family's wealth is not counted, and there are hundreds of concubines. Don't even think about keeping the family wealth. It is magnanimous to save his life.
If Meng Xuanzhe's statement is true, then Li Hao's family wealth alone is enough for at least ten battalions of his army, not to mention other high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Shu Kingdom.
Shi Congyun seriously explained the matter. The reason why he sent his confidantes and soldiers was because most of these officials' families were similar to Li Hao's, with wealth and wives and concubines. How could ordinary soldiers withstand such temptation? Only confidants can guarantee Execute your own orders, block and confiscate.
Later, Shi Congyun ordered Shao Ji to be the commander of this temporary army, Fu Zhaoyuan and Meng Xuanzhe to be his deputies, and Meng Xuanzhe to be his guide.
Meng Xuanzhe was very surprised. He was a hostage yesterday, but today he has become an enemy officer!
Shi Congyun just said: "Your concubine returned to Mianzhou, I didn't touch her, you know how to let her rely on me to save her life, and you also know how to find a way for those innocent women in the harem, you are a good person, and you can see the general trend of the world clearly.
Now that the situation has changed, you will be my courtiers in the future, but now it is the first thing this king entrusts to you, do it well, if you do it well, it will be your credit, and you will be rewarded when you return to Daliang. "
Meng Xuanzhe knelt down to thank him, Shi Congyun nodded and asked him to get up, and such an elite force was temporarily formed.
At noon that day, the Kingdom of Shu did not breach the contract, and Shi Congyun ordered the three armies to wait in line. All the officials of the Kingdom of Shu and the leader of the country, Meng Chang, got off the white horse-drawn cart in plain clothes, with white cloth strips around their necks, and opened the city of Chengdu. The gate surrendered to him.
This surrender ceremony was initiated by Qin Ziying, and it has been the same in all subsequent dynasties.
Under the attention of all the people, Shi Congyun accepted the kneeling worship of the former lord of Shu and all the officials, and then let Meng Chang and the officials get up, and then ordered the three thousand forwards led by Pan Mei to enter the city and directly take over the palace treasury.
Then Liu Qingchuan, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan, and Murong Yanzhao were ordered to lead two battalions of troops to take over the city defenses of each gate.
He led the Chinese army and Wang Quanbin, Wei Renpu, Dou Yi and others into the city.
Before entering the city, Shi Congyun was very cautious. Taking advantage of the fact that the civil and military officials and the emperor were in control of the city gate, he asked the imperial guards and defenders in the city to come out to accept the surrender and lay down their weapons.
Afterwards, Shi Congyun himself did not enter the city, and waited until the afternoon of that day, when all the defenders and soldiers of the Shu Kingdom surrendered and put down their weapons before entering the city.
Stepping on the bluestone bricks through the long darkness through the wide doorway, when the vision is broadened and the sky and the earth are bright, the Chengdu city with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and the endless stream of eaves and tile houses is finally laid out in front of you, Shi Congyun stops Stepping down, taking a deep breath of Chengdu's air on the empty street, he laughed loudly and said, "From now on, this will be my Great Zhou's Chengdu Mansion!"
The generals and officials behind him congratulated one after another, but the officials of the old Shu Kingdom and the last emperor Meng Chang remained silent.
Later, Shi Congyun ordered people to surrender the Kingdom of Shu immediately, and reported the news of the troops entering Chengdu to the Queen Mother Regent. A house, he is waiting to use it to accommodate the royal family and officials of the Shu Kingdom.
Regarding Chengdu City, Shi Congyun immediately ordered the city to be closed for [-] days and the government treasury to be searched.
On the same day, Shi Congyun entered the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Shu, ordered the imperial city to be sealed off, and asked Meng Chang and his family members to move to the side palace in the northwest corner of the imperial palace.
Meng Chang looked sad but did not dare to disobey his order and immediately obeyed.
On the other hand, Shi Congyun asked the officials to go home, and then he made a ruthless move. He immediately asked Shao Ji to lead troops and send people to block the residences of the officials. Follow the army to Daliang to become an official, and at the same time give a quota according to the rank. Officials above the third rank are allowed to keep [-] of their family wealth, and those above the sixth rank are allowed to keep [-] of their family wealth, and the rest will be confiscated.
Many Shu officials objected to this order on the same day, but Zhou Jun had already entered the city, so they only dared to talk and dared not resist with force.
But some officials don't care at all. For example, Li Tinggui and others don't have much money in their family.
Not to mention the value of copper coins in the war-torn era, even in the late Qing Dynasty, a feudal official like Zuo Zongtang, who was not corrupt or corrupt, could only save more than 1 coins in his lifetime.
What Shi Congyun gave was actually very broad, but even so, many people clamored to see him and reasoned, because they must have more than 1 yuan.
Shi Congyun didn't see them all, and ordered Shao Ji to be told that if necessary, they could see blood in order to frighten them.
On that day, Shi Congyun and the officials and generals around him lived in the palace in Chengdu.
Shi Congyun almost stared at the flowers when he saw it, especially the little yellow flower who had been following him. She had been living in the mountains, and she had no idea that Chengdu, which was five or six days away from their mountains, was so magnificent.
There are flower beds and flower pots everywhere in the palace, and a large number of hibiscus are planted, as if walking into a sea of flowers.
Shi Congyun was amazed, and subconsciously sighed, "It's good that these good lands are used to grow food."
Although he was well-informed and had heard countless rumors about Meng Chang building the Crystal Palace for his beloved concubine, he was prepared in his heart, but the magnificence of the palace of the Kingdom of Shu still exceeded his expectations.
The floor tiles are carved with patterns of auspicious clouds, flowers and birds. All the railings are piled up with white jade and carved with exquisite patterns. This is not the industrial age of later generations. They are all handmade by craftsmen. A large number of such stone floor tiles are very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Can't afford it.
The fragrance can be smelled from the pillars of the main hall from a long distance. Shi Congyun knew it was precious sandalwood without looking at it, because the palace of the girders was also sandalwood, but the girders were only made of those in the vertical arch hall, and they were usually full of sandalwood in the court. On the surface, almost all the pillars here are, and the outside is also inlaid with gold patterns.
The windows and door frames are all exquisitely carved, extremely detailed, the owl kisses on the eaves are actually carved from jade, the palace curtains and curtains are all exquisite silk, and many beautiful and delicate patterns are embroidered.
However, the palace complex of the Kingdom of Shu is not as open and closed as the girders, and the whole is more delicate and luxurious.
At this time, there were almost no maids in the front hall. I heard that they were all in the back hall. Meng Xuanzhe told him that there were more than 2 palace ladies and concubines in the palace.
Shi Congyun ordered not to let the soldiers go back, and he will decide how to deal with the concubines and maids in the palace tomorrow.
At night, he temporarily stayed in the side hall, and the soldiers and the generals and officials who came in with him also spent the night in the outer palaces and wing rooms. Shi Congyun in the Kingdom of Shu asked Meng Chang to go back and gather his family in the side hall, but asked Li Hao, Li Tinggui and other important ministers from the Shu region followed him, explained the situation to him, and at the same time prevented their powerful ministers from interfering with their plans.
That night, Shi Congyun lived in a side hall, Xiao Huanghua followed him and looked around curiously, but Shi Congyun didn't care, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, because today he completely wiped out the Kingdom of Shu , taking control of the palace of Shu Kingdom, this is the first time he lived in the palace.
After a while, Xiao Huanghua was helping him to wash his feet comfortably, when someone came outside, the guard at the gate of the outer courtyard came in and announced that Li Hao, the Prime Minister of Shu Kingdom, had something important to see him.
Shi Congyun was curious, why did the old man come here in the middle of the night?Could it be that he begged himself not to copy his home?
Thinking about nodding to let him in, it turned out that the old man didn't come in alone, there was another person behind him, and guards stood on the left and right.
The hall was illuminated by candles, so the light was not very good, it was a little dim, but Dashuai Shi had experienced many battles, and he could tell at a glance that Li Hao was tightly wrapped up, and the person wearing a veil was a graceful woman... ...
Beauty trap!The three words immediately came to mind, and he suddenly felt that Li Hao was outrageous, did he think he would be tricked!
Chapter 294: Sihu+A Storm Is Coming
Shi Congyun's face was not good-looking, and he felt that he was underestimated. Is he like that?
How did Liu Bang win the hearts of the people at the beginning, that is, to withdraw from the Qin Palace and return to the army, and there are three chapters in the contract. He is a person who is familiar with history and understands everything, and he has understood these principles long ago.
The reason why they are stationed here is that they have no choice. To control the city of Chengdu, this is where the central government can do things. Moreover, Chengdu is not Chang’an. The plains of Chengdu are just around Chengdu. Only here can live a large number of people.
Besides, what kind of beauties in the world he has never seen before, even Zhou Xian, a beautiful beauty in the south of the Yangtze River, was snatched by him, so he is afraid of this seduction?
Then he asked coldly, "What is Mr. Li coming to see at night?"
Li Haolian said: "Marshal, it's not the old man, someone wants to see you, please leave."
Shi Congyun understood what he meant, sneered in his heart, nodded for him to leave, and the old man even quit.
The woman behind her showed her figure. Although the barbarian girl Xiao Huanghua was innocent, it was probably a woman's intuition. She subconsciously pinched his sleeves with both hands and looked at the opposite woman with a little hostility.
"Why are you standing there? Since you're here, come here. Take the veil and let me see it." Shi Congyun waved his hand and said carelessly, no one has seen anything about him, and being a Han Gaozu is not easy.
The woman on the opposite side untied her cloak and scattered it on the ground, and gently took off her veil.
Her movements are slow and graceful, but not artificial, and every move is natural.
But the key is people...
Under the dim candlelight, the woman's temples are dark and her eyes are as bright as water. In the candlelight, the soft light is reflected, her eyes are hazy with tears, her lips are red and her skin is white, and her facial features are beautiful.
What caught his eye the most was the beauty's body. She was covered with a light gauze dress, her smooth shoulders and collarbone were faintly visible, and her graceful figure was vaguely visible. Her skin was not ordinary white, but seemed to be crystal clear, reflecting a little bit of light.
Shi Congyun's later generations knew that the girls in Sichuan are very fair and have good skin, especially those in Chongqing, which are simply enviable and fascinating.
But the beauty in front of her can't be explained by her good skin......
She slightly avoided her eyes in embarrassment, looked at the distance without saying a word, her graceful figure was looming, she was so nervous that she seemed to be unable to stand for a while, there was nothing not beautiful about her body...
Shi Congyun stared at her, and suddenly said:
"Today Lao Tzu is no longer Han Gaozu, whoever wants to do it can do it.
Little Yellow Flower, you should study hard..."
........
Mrs. Huarui was extremely ashamed. The guilt and helplessness in her heart made her ashamed. Before entering the hall, she had imagined countless times, who was the legendary Shi Congyun?
The harem thought it should be an evil ghost with a blue face and fangs, but she decided that there should be no one in the world who looked like that, maybe it was a vicious man with a face full of flesh.
But when he saw it, it was quite different from what he had imagined. Shi Congyun didn't have a sinister face, nor was he blue-faced and fangs. Instead, he was straight, tall and mighty, like a warrior in battle.
He was a head taller than her, so he felt full of oppression. Even though his face was not bad, just standing in front of him and thinking of all the things about him made him feel a little tight and out of breath...
The most unexpected thing was the other party's age. It was rumored that Shi Congyun was younger than the prince, but she never believed it.
After all, if he was so young, how could he have such a world-class deed. After meeting, he never expected that he was really a young man in his early twenties, and he was shocked for a long time.
And the other party's arrogant and contemptuous attitude made her ashamed and helpless. Now that the country was ruined and her family was destroyed, there was nothing she could do, but she subconsciously took off her veil and cloak, and she was very confident in herself.
It was only the next moment that she immediately regretted it. What was she doing?Seduce men like a slut?Even if you are forced to be helpless, you should at least hold back and resist...
When I regained my senses, I heard Shi Congyun say, "Today, I will not be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Whoever likes to do it can do it."
She has read a lot of poems and books, and quickly understood what he meant. He was talking about the story of Gaozu entering Xianyang, "There is nothing to take from property, and women have nothing to do with luck." He actually blatantly said that he would not be Han Gaozu...
For a moment, he was in a state of confusion, wishing he could speak back, because he was greedy and incompetent, and he said it as if I was a disaster for the country and the people, so that he would not be able to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
But she didn't dare to say that she came here today to beg for help. The country was ruined and her family was destroyed. She had no right to defend herself. The lives and futures of more than ten thousand people in the harem were in his hands, so many people would suffer if they offended him.
I thought to myself that I was bitten by a vicious dog, and I gritted my teeth and survived.
The other party made no secret of his naked desire, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to embrace her, his mouth was still there: "Damn it, Lao Tzu's fame for a lifetime, reputation for thousands of years, is actually ruined by a woman today."
Mrs. Huarui endured her disgust and fear, her heart was beating wildly, thinking what kind of wisdom and reputation you have, and the notoriety is everywhere, so shameless, but she couldn't react quickly, he was too direct, too intense, and strong Her body almost made her breathless.
.......
Soon she couldn't hold her teeth anymore, because even clenching her teeth couldn't hold her back.
She told herself in her heart that she was forced and forced, but soon those things were broken into pieces in her mind and stirred like a paste.
His thoughts went beyond the sky, the villain was too strong, too young, and seemed to have inexhaustible strength. During the long tug-of-war, many things had already been submerged by the raging tide.
Limp all over, she could only obediently listen to instructions, "Lie down by the window", "Turn around", "Go over there", "Hold me tight..."
She had a lot of small and scattered voices, she only knew to do it in a daze, and when she came back to her senses, it was too late.
I should have resisted, she with a rosy complexion occasionally thought in shame in the chaos, passion, and fascination, and her heart slowly melted into water......
.........
When it was daylight and the light came in from the outside, Madam Huarui was lying softly on the bed, her icy muscles and bones glowing rosy in the dim light, her jet-black hair was messily scattered on her smooth back, her whole body was sticky, A little wet, the blush on his face has not yet dissipated.
Some messy black hair stuck to the corners of her mouth. She was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at the proud young man behind her. She couldn't even remember what she had done that night. God has already exposed his ugly face, his heart is broken, and he has no face to face others.
She has never experienced such an experience before. She was born in a teaching workshop, and later became a singing girl. After that, she was valued by His Majesty and brought into the palace at a young age. She never knew that the relationship between a man and a woman can reach such a level that she has never experienced...
I should resist, I should be more elegant, I shouldn't be so unpromising, I shouldn't obediently listen to him for everything... All kinds of thoughts linger in my heart, and my heart is in a mess.
The man who put her in such a predicament was very calm, as if admiring her ugliness and laughing at her situation.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Tears rolled down her face, she even avoided him to see her, and was about to beg him.
"Tell me who you are, whether Li Hao arranged for you to come or you have something to do, tell me." His lazy voice came from behind.
It turned out that he had already guessed it, and Mrs. Huarui felt that Shi Congyun was very treacherous at a young age, so she calmed down, wiped away her tears quietly, dragged her tired and spring-scarred body, put on light clothes, got up, and knelt on the bed Qian said: "The humble concubine is the former noble concubine of the Shu Kingdom."
"The noble concubine of the Kingdom of Shu, Mrs. Huarui Fei?"
She was shocked and nodded, she didn't expect that Liang and Shu were thousands of miles away, Shi Congyun knew her, and verified Shi Congyun's lewd rumors, she became scared, he had already prepared.
