Tang Yin received Qiu Zhen's reminder in time, his feverish mind immediately calmed down, thinking that this was not the time for him to be the King.
He waved towards the Member under his command and said: "Command our soldiers to withdraw from the palace. Guard them strictly and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
"Milord …" The generals still had not reacted, they did not understand why Tang Yin would suddenly give out such an order. From their point of view, the reason why their side was so persistent in seizing Yan City was because they wanted to overthrow Zhong Tian, the fake Monarch. And secondly, was so that they could put Tang Yin on the throne.
Everyone naturally wished for Tang Yin to become the King, so they were no longer mere Regiment Chief or a general, but instead the victor of the new Feng Country. This was an incomparable honor, who wouldn't want to receive this kind of honor?
Without waiting for the generals to speak, Tang Yin's face darkened, and said coldly: "You all cannot speak anymore nonsense. Whoever dares to call me king, that is truly outrageous."
These words were too serious, causing all the generals to tremble in fear. Even the words that were about to reach their mouths were swallowed back down their throats.
Just as Tang Yin was about to lead the generals out of the palace, a soldier came to report that there were many concubines from the Former King who wished to see Tang Yin. Hearing that, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, he did not understand the purpose of these concubines coming to see him, so he turned to look at Qiu Zhen, and asked for his opinion. Qiu Zhen smiled from the side, and said: "There's no harm in Master seeing him."
Hearing Qiu Zhen say that, Tang Yin nodded and said: "Bring them in!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" The soldier complied and quickly ran out.
Not long after, a group of young married women dressed in gorgeous clothing entered the hall.
Some of these concubines were really not even twenty years old yet. They were indeed the concubines of the Feng King's Zhan Hua, but because they had no children, Zhong Tian had kept them here after he usurped the position and continued to place them in the palace, becoming his playthings.
Now that Zhong Tian had escaped to the Wan City, because he had left in a hurry, he did not bring all of the concubines with him.
These concubines had never seen Tang Yin before, so they couldn't recognize him either. Furthermore, they didn't know what to call him or treat him as proper etiquette.
In terms of status, they were's concubines, while Tang Yin was merely a County Head. Although his position was not considered small, he was still considered a slave when compared to the imperial concubines. In reality, Tang Yin was the one with the most power and the one who held the most troops.
Without waiting for the concubines to speak, Tang Yin had already tidied his entire robe, and after that he interfered and saluted. He said respectfully, "Tianyuan County County Head, Tang Yin greets all of you, Madam!" Although he didn't kowtow to show his respect, his attitude was still very polite. This made all the imperial concubines secretly heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing Tang Yin's attitude towards them, as well as the low status between official and imperial concubines, a twenty-something year old young lady smiled sweetly and walked out from amongst the group of girls at a leisurely pace. She waved at Tang Yin with a calm demeanor and without the slightest hint of panic on the part of the other imperial concubines, and said softly, "Master Tang does not need to be overly courteous. This time, Master Tang has led the troops into the capital, and expelled the traitor. This is my fortune, because of the strong wind.
Ouch! Who would have thought that even amongst the consorts, there would be someone who could say such words?
Tang Yin was startled, he could not help but raise his head to look at the concubine. This woman looked to be around twenty-five to twenty-six years old. Although her appearance couldn't be considered peerless, it wasn't something an ordinary woman could compare to. Furthermore, she had the aura of a noble king.
Tang Yin could not help but ask, "This lady is …"
"This is Mrs Huarong." As if afraid that someone else would steal their glory from them, one of the imperial concubines bravely added this sentence.
"Oh!" So you are Mrs Huarong, excuse me! " Tang Yin courteously bowed to the imperial concubine once again. Who was the Mrs Huarong? Whether or not there was such a person among Zhan Hua's concubines, Tang Yin and the surrounding military officials did not know either. Furthermore, there was no way to verify her identity.
Tang Yin looked at the ladies and said sternly: "Since Zhong Tian took over the throne, all of you ladies have suffered greatly in the palace, this is the sin of this subject, but please do not worry, this subordinate will do his best to protect the capital and exterminate the traitor!"
From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yin did not even put these concubines in his eyes. Furthermore, they had served Zhan Hua at first, and then they served Zhong Tian, so he looked down upon them from the bottom of his heart.
"Aiya! With as loyal as you are, I am truly blessed by the wind! "
"Yes, yes! If not, we would definitely have been harmed by the traitor. "
All of the imperial concubines' hearts were greatly reduced from fear of Tang Yin. What replaced it were flattery and admiration, some of them even putting on an act to wipe the corners of their eyes.
Tang Yin was annoyed in his heart as he was too lazy to watch them act and put on an act. He cupped his hands and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please rest assured that I will not allow anyone to disturb me in the palace. "Then, this subordinate will take his leave!" With that said, Tang Yin straightened his body and walked out with big strides.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the other imperial concubines were all startled. The Mrs Huarong asked anxiously: "Where is the Master Tang going?"
"Your subordinate is, of course, leaving the palace."
"Lord …" Why not stay in the palace? This way, it'll be easier for you to protect us in the near future. " When the Mrs Huarong spoke, his eyes shone with a peculiar light. His bright eyes were like hooks, capturing a man's heart.
Her temperament had always been noble and elegant. When she displayed her seductive charm, it would naturally attract men, giving birth to a desire to conquer the nobility.
Tang Yin was not tempted by her and instead frowned. He spoke faintly: "This subordinate is only an official, so I am not suitable to live in the palace. Moreover, this subordinate is outside the palace and can completely protect the safety of all the ladies.
Hearing Tang Yin's questioning to the army, not only did Mrs Huarong not get angry or embarrassed, his eyes lit up and he stared at Tang Yin without blinking.
Tang Yin did not want to waste any more words with her, so he nodded his head, and led the generals to turn around and walk out of the hall.
When they were outside, Shangguan Yuanbiao snorted angrily and muttered: "What kind of shitty madam is this, she's simply a group of slut. Master, that Mrs Huarong was obviously trying to seduce you.
Tang Yin laughed and did not say much.
Qiu Zhen frowned as he thought of something, and said suspiciously: "Master, why have I never heard that there is a Mrs Huarong?"
Tang Yin was not too concerned about this, he casually said: "I'm afraid even he cannot remember the number of concubines Zhan Hua has, what do you know?"
Qiu Zhen said with a stern expression: "I'll go down to check later."
Tang Yin felt that Qiu Zhen was being unnecessary, and laughed: "Even if she isn't his concubine, he is probably Zhong Tian's concubine, there's nothing much to investigate. If there's time, I might as well think of what kind of notice we should post tomorrow to appease the citizens of the capital."
That's true! With Tang Yin's reminder, Qiu Zhen also suddenly remembered that he had not properly drafted the notice to appease the masses, and threw the matter of verifying the identity of the Mrs Huarong to the back of his mind, and said to Tang Yin: "I have discussed this matter with, Zong Yuan and the others, this is everyone's suggestion, please have a look."
Saying that, Qiu Zhen took out a silk cloth from his sleeves and respectfully handed it over to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin took it, and walked over to a torch by the side of the road, and looked down to read the contents written on the silk.
On top of that, Qiu Zhen and the other strategists knew about Zhong Tian's dozens of crimes, which were reasonable and well-founded. At the same time, they praised Tang Yin's morals, and praised him as's savior, savior of Feng Country, and even praised him as the palanquin of heaven receiving the assistance of the divine dragon. After Tang Yin saw this, he could not help but blush. He lowered his voice and asked, "Qiu Zhen, this … "Isn't that a bit too much!"
"Huh?" Qiu Zhen waved his hand, lowered his head and looked at the contents written on the silk cloth, and said, "This subordinate thinks that writing out the crime committed by Zhong Tian is more than just that."
Tang Yin did not really care about how Zhong Tian wrote it. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm saying that the content written on it is a bit too much for me."
Qiu Zhen acknowledged his and nodded in understanding. He said softly, "Master, with the current turmoil on the Feng Country, do you know what kind of ruler the people desire the most and accept the most?"
Tang Yin looked at him suspiciously.
Qiu Zhen continued to speak: "The citizens naturally hope that the Sovereign King will love the people like a son, but this is far from enough, the new Sovereign King should also quickly lead her Feng Country to power up, to wash away the shame, so, the appropriate deification of the Lord would also help the Master Yu to win the hearts of the people, and achieve great things."
"Mm …" Tang Yin muttered to himself, then once again carefully read the contents of the silk from beginning to end, and then handed it over to Qiu Zhen, and said: "You handle this matter, I have no objections."
"Yes!" "My Lord!" After receiving Tang Yin's confirmation, Qiu Zhen agreed repeatedly. He took the silk and carefully folded it back into his sleeves, then followed Tang Yin and continued to walk out of the palace, saying, "Master, although our troops have taken over the palace now, we cannot relax just like that. We should take advantage of this victory to continue our journey south, and completely raze the forces of Zhong Tian."
His opinion coincided with Tang Yin's, if he cut the grass, it would not remove the roots, and spring winds would spring again. How could he leave Zhong Tian, the scourge, behind in the South of City of the capital?
He nodded and said, "I also have the same intention. As long as the situation here stabilizes, I will immediately head south."
Qiu Zhen laughed and heaved a sigh of relief. He was not mistaken, Tang Yin was not a short-sighted person, nor was he someone who coveted wealth and prosperity in front of him, only people like Tang Yin could accomplish great things. In his heart, he was overjoyed. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "See you in the future, milord."
