"But they only follow the lead of Gao Qiu and his son,"
"Perhaps he helped the Gao family father and son do a lot of bad things."
Upon hearing this, Duan Chang hurriedly said,
"Your Majesty is wise; although I am nominally in charge of the infantry,"
“But previously Gao Qiu relied on the Emperor…,”
"No, it's Zhao Ji's...favor,"
"He has also usurped my authority,"
"Even a lowly person wouldn't dare to resist,"
"But he didn't help Gao Qiu do anything bad."
"Gao Qiu and Liang Shicheng formed a faction,"
"He wielded absolute power in the court,"
"If he does evil, others will rush to do it for him."
"They don't need me at all."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan nodded and said,
"Yes, and Liang Shicheng, that bandit slayer,"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten,"
"Take Liang Shicheng out of here."
Liang Shicheng originally thought he had escaped a calamity.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by Duan Chang.
He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
He was dragged out by his personal guards.
Duan Chang saw Zhao Yuan looking over,
He was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"I really haven't done anything wrong,"
"Your Majesty is wise indeed."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Get up."
"Can you stop bullying others by abusing your power?"
"He was one of the few good officials in the Song Dynasty."
"I'll give you a reward then,"
"Go to the harem and choose one of Zhao Ji's concubines to calm your nerves."
"what?"
Duan Chang never expected Zhao Yuan to give him a reward.
The same reward
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Zhao Ji, who was being held by Shi Xiu,
Upon hearing that Zhao Yuan intended to give away his concubines,
I was so ashamed and indignant that I wanted to die.
However, he didn't dare say anything to Zhao Yuan.
He could only glare angrily at Duan Chang.
Chapter 1706 I'll Give You a Woman
Duan Chang was initially somewhat tempted,
However, upon meeting Zhao Ji's gaze...
He immediately lost his lustful desire and quickly said,
"I have done nothing of merit,"
"I am truly unworthy of the King's reward."
Zhao Yuan looked at Duan Changdao,
"You also want to be a loyal subject of the Song Dynasty?"
Duan Chang naturally knew the fate of the loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Yuan spoke of.
He quickly shook his head and said,
"This humble man truly submits to the Great Liang,"
"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."
"Wu Song!"
Zhao Yuan was about to send Wu Song to take Duan Chang to choose a concubine.
But seeing that Wu Song looked somewhat displeased...
Thinking of Wu Song's attitude towards matters between men and women,
They didn't want to make things difficult for Wu Song.
"You come and watch over Zhao Ji."
Wu Song quickly ascended the steps.
Capture Zhao Ji.
Zhao Yuan said, "Shi Xiu, take Duan Chang to choose a concubine."
"Let them have sex, then bring him back."
Shi Xiu followed Zhao Yuan's instructions without any hesitation.
He replied directly, "Yes."
Duan Chang reached such a position,
After a moment's thought,
Then he understood why Zhao Yuan did this.
As long as he had any contact with Zhao Ji's concubines,
He was then completely bound to the chariot of the Great Liang.
The main beam failed.
He was the one who dared to violate Zhao Ji's concubine.
They certainly couldn't escape punishment from the Song Dynasty.
The concubines in the imperial harem all had titles bestowed by Emperor Huizong of Tang.
It can be said to represent the dignity of the royal family.
Unlike a woman like Cui Ying,
Zhou Bangyan and Cui Ying had an affair.
Emperor Huizong could spare him.
However, if he violates Zhao Ji's concubine,
If the Song Dynasty had not fallen...
He will surely die a horrible death.
Although he could see through Zhao Yuan's intentions
But he had no choice.
Now we are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board.
As long as he doesn't want to die
We had no choice but to comply.
Duan Chang no longer cared about Zhao Ji's angry gaze.
Obediently followed Shi Xiu out of the main hall.
They headed towards the inner palace.
The inner palace was also now guarded by Zhao Yuan's personal guards.
Seeing Shi Xiu leading someone to enter the inner palace,
He couldn't help but stop them.
"General Lü has given orders,"
"No man is allowed to enter the harem."
Shi Xiu stayed with Zhao Yuan the whole time.
He naturally knew it wasn't Zhao Yuan who gave the order.
It's likely that Lü Fang issued this order in an attempt to curry favor with Zhao Yuan.
Shi Xiu wasn't angry at being stopped; he just smiled and said...
"The king asked me to take him to choose a concubine."
Zhao Yuan's personal guards, however, did not allow them to pass.
"Do you have the King's Token?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiu
He was taken aback and shook his head.
"His Majesty probably doesn't even know that you've sealed off the harem,"
"But they didn't give me a token."
"This man is an official who has just surrendered,"
"The king bestowed upon him a concubine,"
"If you're not comfortable with it,"
"Just send someone to go with them."
The leading centurion considered it for a moment,
I also think it's unlikely that Shi Xiu is lying.
He then sent a personal guard to accompany him inside.
Entering the harem,
Shi Xiudu was somewhat curious.
The emperor's harem can be described as the most mysterious place.
The main hall in front,
You can enter once you reach a certain rank.
Only the emperor's harem,
Only the emperor and his princes were allowed to enter and exit.
It is also very mysterious in the eyes of the world.
However, after walking a short distance,
