Chapter 1129 My Mengde Ambition Was Leaked
The Zhenguan Hall was called the "Daye Hall" during the Sui Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the Daye Hall was burned down and after it was rebuilt, it was renamed the Zhenguan Hall.
No one knows what Zhao Jiji was thinking. After he rebuilt the Ziwei Palace, he did not change the names of the many palaces and temples in the Ziwei Palace.
The banquet is over.
Led by the eunuchs, Su Mingzhe walked into the Zhenguan Hall and saw two or three hundred beauties prostrating themselves on the ground to greet him.
"Ok?"
Su Mingzhe took a look in surprise, and then looked at the newly appointed Chief of the Eunuchs, Sandezi, with a surprised look.
This San Dezi was originally a eunuch in charge of the royal treasury of Ziwei Palace. It was he who reported to Lu Junyi that Zhao Jiji had sent people to steal the treasures in the treasury.
After Su Mingzhe entered the palace, he was promoted to the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau and his name was changed to "San Dezi".
Choose righteousness and let him remember the three virtues: loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.
When San Dezi saw Su Mingzhe frowning, he quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, these are the wives and daughters of the imprisoned officials sent to the palace by General Cai. It is said that... Your Majesty likes to conduct trials at night..."
"This Cai Si!"
Su Mingzhe didn't expect that this little hobby of his would be spread by Cai Si.
If this matter gets out, I don’t know how I will be slandered in history books in the future.
However, the number of these beauties...I'm afraid it's not right?
The number of treacherous officials that Su Mingzhe requested to be captured was definitely more than thirty.
Even if only ten beauties were seized from each treacherous official's residence, the total number would still be over three hundred.
But there are only two or three hundred beauties here.
Su Mingzhe had suspicions in his mind, so he did not hide his thoughts and asked Sandezi directly.
San Dezi quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, General Cai did send thousands of beauties into the palace, but most of them were singers, dancers, and maids. I took the initiative to arrange them in Feixiang Palace. Those who are here now are all wives and concubines of convicted officials of high rank..."
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction.
As long as no one embezzles their own things, it's fine.
Passing through the flowers, Su Mingzhe sat on the couch in the center of the hall, pointed at the few obviously unattractive women in their forties or fifties in front of him, and asked:
"What kind of relatives of criminal officials are these women?"
San Dezi quickly pointed to the woman in the front and introduced her:
"This is the former emperor Zhezong's deposed queen!"
Su Mingzhe understood immediately after hearing this:
"Emperor Zhezong deposed his empress? Isn't that Meng?"
He ordered someone to bring the candle closer to the woman. Su Mingzhe took a closer look and found that she was quite similar to Queen Meng in his own dimension of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Thinking of the old friends, even though he knew the two women had nothing to do with each other, Su Mingzhe's face still showed some tenderness:
"Zhezong was a man of great courage, determination and intelligence, and had the potential to be successful, but unfortunately he died young, and the government fell into the hands of a villain like Zhao Ji."
"How could the wife of such a wise and powerful king be mixed up with the daughter of a criminal official?"
"Someone, send Empress Yuanyou to Renshou Palace to rest."
Renshou Hall is where the concubines of the previous emperor lived.
Meng looked at Emperor Liang sitting on the dragon couch, bowed her head to express her gratitude and left.
Afterwards, Sam Deok-ja introduced several more women, all of whom were Zhezong's women.
Su Mingzhe was also sent to Renshou Hall to rest.
Not long after.
Sandezi introduced Huizong's women.
"This is... the Empress Dowager Zhao Zheng of the previous dynasty. Beside her are the eldest princess Jiade, the fourth princess Ande, and the thirteenth princess Chengde of the previous dynasty!"
Su Mingzhe took a look at Zhao Zheng's fair and tender face, as well as her voluptuous and graceful figure, and was immediately delighted. She was indeed worthy of being the queen personally selected by the "Art Emperor" Zhao Ji.
With this demeanor and grace, even though he is nearly forty years old, he can still surpass Qing'er and Xuanxuan.
And her three daughters who look like they were cut from the same mold.
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but scold:
"Zhao Ji has been emperor for twenty years. He favors treacherous ministers and brings chaos to the government. As the queen who is the mother of the country, even if Zhao Zheng cannot restore order, she should at least give more advice and remonstrances. However, she only knows how to seduce the king, which is a heinous crime! Let the mother and daughter stay in the Zhenguan Palace and serve as imperial attendants!" After listening to this, Sandezi remained silent.
At this time, Su Mingzhe suddenly noticed a young woman with long hair next to Zhao Zhengshi, raised his finger and pointed and asked:
"Who is that?"
San Dezi looked in the direction of his finger and hurriedly and carefully introduced:
"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Liu from the previous dynasty."
When Su Mingzhe heard that the young woman's surname was Liu, he was shocked again and asked:
"What is Liu's maiden name?"
How would I know this?
San Dezi did not dare to hesitate, and walked to the side of Concubine Liu in small steps, asked in a low voice, and then came back to report:
"Liu's original name was Xueli. Later, she entered the palace and served the previous Empress Mingda. Empress Mingda gave her the name 'Wan'er'!"
Hearing that it was not a celestial being, Su Mingzhe sighed softly:
"Stay in Zhenguan Palace and be a Master Attendant!"
……
The next day.
Su Mingzhe got up with the help of the former queen Zheng Yu Niang and four imperial concubines.
Several Master Attendants outside the house heard the noise and hurried in to serve.
Among the imperial attendants, Su Mingzhe saw Princess Jiade Zhao Yupan, Princess Rongde Zhao Jinnu, Princess Ande Zhao Jinluo, Princess Maude Zhao Fujin, Princess Chongde Zhao Paner, and Princess Chengde Zhao Huer.
Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Huer were the daughters of Empress Zheng Yu Niang.
Zhao Jinnu was the daughter of Empress Xiangong Wang.
Zhao Pan'er was the daughter of Concubine Wang Zhenniang.
Zhao Fujin was the daughter of Empress Mingda Liu.
By the eighth year of Zhenghe, Zhao Ji and his concubines had a total of thirty princesses (imperial princesses), twelve of whom died young.
Among the eighteen existing princesses, only these six have reached the age of youth.
Among these six princesses of the previous dynasty, Zhao Yupan, Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Jinluo and Zhao Fujin are already married.
Zhao Pan'er and Zhao Hu'er are just engaged and not married yet.
When the six princesses were helping Emperor Liang to dress, the other princesses were able to keep their hands and feet steady, but the young Zhao Huer looked flustered. From time to time she looked at the man and then at her mother.
Su Mingzhe noticed her actions, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile:
"I originally wanted to let San Dezi train them before inviting them to sleep with me. Now it seems that although they are a little bit awkward, they are also interesting in a different way!"
Suddenly, Su Mingzhe seemed to smell a sour smell. Turning back, he saw the favored imperial concubine Liu Wanniang last night, pouting her rosy lips and her beautiful eyes full of charm.
This woman has quite a temper!
I just looked at the other woman a little more, but this woman dared to rely on her beauty to give me a bad look. It seems that Zhao Ji spoiled her a lot in the past!
Su Mingzhe ignored her and looked at Zhao Paner next to him.
Zhao Pan'er was lowering her head, trying very hard to reduce her presence.
But it was her name and her face, which was as beautiful as her mother, Wang Zhenniang, that made Su Mingzhe unable to ignore her.
Looking at Zhao Pan'er, Su Mingzhe suddenly fantasized that it would be great if she and Liu Wanniang could exchange faces.
Pity!
After washing.
Su Mingzhe walked towards Qianyuan Hall.
starting today.
The Zhao and Song dynasties became history, and the world belonged to Daliang.
Arriving at Qianyuan Hall, the grand court meeting began.
Although Zhao Song officially surrendered to Daliang only yesterday, the news of Zhao Song's surrender had already been spread throughout the world by Su Mingzhe several days in advance.
The armies of the two countries that were confronting each other on the Bianliang front also stopped because of this.
After the grand court meeting.
The scout camp came to report that Song Dynasty generals such as Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze had led their troops to surrender to Daliang generals such as Lin Chong, and would hand over their military power within the next one or two days.
Not only that, the heads of prefectures and cities in the northwest of Jing that had not yet been captured, as well as the heads of prefectures and cities in the southwest of Jing and Yongxingjun Road, which were relatively close to the northwest of Jing, who had received the imperial edict, also announced their acceptance of the new dynasty.
There is no news from places further away, such as Qinfeng, Lizhou, Kuizhou, Jinghu, Jiangnan, etc.
However, after Daliang took control of the two routes in Jingdong, Hebei, and Jingxi, it also controlled most of the prosperous areas of the Song Dynasty.
Even if other groups do not obey the will of heaven, they will not be able to make any waves.
