Chapter 459: Lao Ma, do you want a wife or not?
Shen Changgong's old face turned red, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
How embarrassing! The entire army was busy fighting, but Tu Queling was busy collecting women for him.
However, if it is Yu Ziling, it has a different flavor.
After all, the queen is also a heroic female general, and she has never tasted this kind of taste...
Shen Changgong suppressed the corners of his mouth that were harder to suppress than AK, and said with a stern face,
"Nonsense! Who allowed you to run around? It's so chaotic now, with wars going on everywhere, and you actually disobeyed military orders? When I'm done with this, I'll show you how I'll punish you!"
Tu Queling smiled slightly and lowered her head shyly.
The corners of Gongsun Wan'er's mouth were almost turned down to her chin.
You're still being punished. You must be so happy, right?
Tu Que Ling asked hurriedly,
"Your Majesty, this concubine..."
"What concubine? This is the Queen of Qi. Since she has been captured alive, bring her back. After taking control of the palace, have the imperial physician treat her injuries. I will personally torture her for information."
"As ordered!"
The soldiers pulled the cart, Tu Queling climbed on the horse, and followed Shen Changgong forward.
The Yan army was all over the city, chasing the Qi army. Linzi was too big, and it would probably take more than a day or two to hunt them all down.
At this time, the Yan army had already launched the final attack on the imperial palace.
The King of the South personally took charge and commanded the Yan army to kill the imperial guards.
The Yan army was large in number, and although the 10,000 imperial guards were brave and good at fighting, they were outnumbered after all.
The defense of the palace was full of loopholes, and the Yan army easily broke through it, killing one royal guard after another.
An hour later, all the royal guards were killed in the battle, and the Yan army rushed into the Qi harem like tigers and wolves.
Because the Yan army had strict military discipline, they did not dare to cause trouble in the harem. They simply gathered all the captured people together, searched out the valuables, and piled them up in the Qi'an Square of the imperial palace.
Shen Changgong and others slowly came to the square in front of the imperial palace.
At this time, quite a few people had already started to gather here.
There were palace maids, eunuchs, imperial doctors and cooks, and even dozens of concubines who still had charm.
"Concubines? Where did the concubines come from?"
Shen Changgong was surprised.
"Didn't the Emperor of Qi only marry one queen? Where did these dozens of concubines come from?"
An old palace maid stood up, knelt down and said,
"I am the head of the Shangyi Bureau, my humble surname is Hu. I pay my respects to the two princes. Your Majesty, they are all concubines of the late emperor, not the concubines of the current emperor."
"The late emperor's widow? Why would the Emperor of Qi keep them in the palace? Shouldn't he have arranged accommodation for them outside the palace?"
"Reporting to the prince, His Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time. These concubines need to be arranged to leave the country one after another, which will take several years."
Hu Shangyi, the head of the Shangyi Bureau, spoke with his head down.
"Really? Look up."
Shen Changgong walked over, looked at the woman in her forties, and sneered,
"This will be the imperial palace of the Great Yan Emperor from now on. If you tell me the truth, this palace will be under your control."
Hearing this, Hu Shangyi turned her head and looked at the people behind her. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered,
"The Empress has a strong character and has always refused to sleep with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very filial and often visits the late Emperor's concubines."
Shen Changgong was stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled and then burst into laughter.
The King of Nan beside him was frowning, thinking to himself, is this kind of thing so funny?
Hu Shangyi lowered her head, wishing she could disappear right away.
Shen Changgong said,
"Hu Shangyi, you will be the chief steward here from now on. The harem will be under your control. Find a few rooms to temporarily detain all these concubines, as well as their maids and eunuchs.
Wait until the war situation stabilizes before making arrangements.
In addition, others who have jobs should still perform their duties, but are not allowed to move around randomly.
Oh, and where is the Queen's maid? Call her out."
"Yes!"
Hu Shangyi saluted, then shouted behind her,
"Xiuqin, Zhaohua, all the servants in the Queen's Palace, come out. The prince wants to lecture you."
A dozen palace maids and eunuchs came out immediately.
At this time, the cart behind him also arrived.
Shen Changgong said,
"Take your queen back to the palace immediately and have the imperial physician treat her immediately."
"As ordered!"
More than a dozen people ran over immediately.
When the two young palace maids saw Yu Ziling covered in blood and unconscious, they burst into tears on the spot, calling for the queen while crying.
They pulled the cart and hurried to the harem, calling for the imperial physician.
After dealing with Yu Ziling's matter, Shen Changgong and others walked towards the hall in front.
At this time, the power center of Qi State had completely fallen into the hands of Yan State.
The giant tripod of Qi is still there, but the jade seal has been taken away.
After walking around the hall, Shen Changgong said to the guards,
"Go and call Liu Fugui over immediately."
"As ordered!"
The guard went to look for someone.
The dragon throne was there, but no one dared to sit on it.
Even Shen Changgong and Ma Ling had no intention of sitting down.
Even though the State of Qi was destroyed, the dragon throne still belonged to Xiao Yaoyao... No, it belonged to the Queen of Dayan.
"Let's go to the imperial study to discuss matters."
Ma Ling said.
After arriving at the imperial study, they saw a lot of information summaries from various parts of Qi, including the population, taxes, military strength, grain transport, etc.
Shen Changgong sat on the chair and said to Ma Ling,
"Lord Ma, did you see all those concubines just now?"
Ma Ling glanced at him and said
"I'm not blind, so I saw it. The Emperor of Qi's affair with his concubines is not uncommon throughout the dynasties.
An emperor can live a long life and take concubines in their teens and twenties when he is in his fifties or sixties, but the emperor's sons are already in their twenties or thirties.
Those princes looked at women of the same age as themselves all day long, so it was inevitable that they would be tempted.
The Emperor of Qi was young and energetic, and his queen was strong-willed and from a military family, so it was understandable that they did not allow him to touch her, but he always had to find a place to entertain himself.
It's impossible for an emperor to become a eunuch, right?
But this kind of thing cannot be made public, otherwise people will criticize you.
When you run away, you can't take the concubines of the previous emperor with you. You didn't even take your own queen with you, so how could you take your father's wife with you?
Moreover, this year, he probably got tired of playing around and was too embarrassed to kill them, so he deliberately stayed in Linzi and used our Yan army to kill these concubines and bury this shameful history.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changgong nodded deeply and said,
"What you said makes sense... No, how did you get me confused?
I mean……"
Shen Changgong showed a smile that all men understand and said,
"Old Ma, do you want a wife or not?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Ma Ling was stunned when he heard this.
"Do you want a woman? Just ask and I'll give her to you.
Those women, although they are a little older, are still very smooth and charming. The older ones are more considerate and know many positions..."
