Chapter 37 Trespassing the Harem

Song Yi was originally from Qi. He served as a general under King Huai of Chu and was known as the "Champion of Qingzi". During the Battle of Julu, he sent his son Song Xiang to Qi to serve as prime minister. When the weather was cold and the soldiers were freezing, Song Yi still drank and had fun.

When fighting against King Zhang Han's Lijun, Song Yi wanted to rely on the besieged Zhao State to consume the Qin army's combat power before taking action. For a time, the morale of the army was extremely low.

Xiang Yu killed Song Yi and destroyed the cauldron and boat, thus defeating the Qin army.

Xiang Yu was not courageous and thoughtless. When he killed Song Yi, he claimed that he was following the order of King Huai of Chu.

Fan Zeng shook his head helplessly. Xiang Yu obviously had other ways to solve the problem, but he chose to use the most drastic method.

For example, Liu Bang knows how to comfort, but Xiang Yu doesn't.

One decline and another rise, and if things continue like this, Liu Bang will become a formidable enemy.

"I was watching the sky at night just now, and there was a rebirth of dragon energy in the northwest sky. If we don't deal with it immediately, it will become a big problem in the future." Fan Zeng said, stroking his white beard.

"Dragon Qi?" Xiang Yu's eyes were full of disdain, "Even if it is a dragon, I will pluck its horns and enter the border tomorrow to see if the dragon can withstand a blow from my Overlord Halberd.

"

"Tomorrow?" Fan Zeng was puzzled, "Right now we have just wiped out the main force of the Qin army, and there are still remnants of troops in Hebei that have not yet been quelled. Tomorrow is really too hasty."

"Father, I can't wait any longer!" Xiang Yu said loudly.

The Xiang family has been the leader of the Chu Kingdom for generations and has always been loyal. He was originally a cowherd child, but King Mi Xin of Chu Huai was always suspicious of him. Only by becoming king can he get rid of the constraints of the Chu King's family!

Fan Zeng could understand Xiang Yu's mood. He was already over 70 years old, so he naturally hoped that the descendants he would assist could achieve something while he was still alive. Only then could he die without regrets and with a smile on his face.

But the Hebei area must be handed over to someone who can make Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng feel completely at ease.

"In this case, Yu'er left 100,000 troops for a commander to pacify Hebei, and with an army of 300,000 he could be invincible and reach Xianyang." Fan Zeng suggested.

"Just like Yafu said." Xiang Yu said loudly.

Fan Zeng did not say who the general was, and both of them knew that there was only one candidate.

That man was as close as a brother to Xiang Yu, and when he died in battle, the arrogant Xiang Yu shouted "Heaven is going to kill me", a fellow countryman - Sima Longju.

During the Chu-Han War, Chen Ping offered Liu Bang a stratagem, saying bluntly that Xiang Yu only had four loyal ministers, and Sima Longju was among them.

Chen Ping's alienation tactics had never been used against Sima Longju. He knew that he would never be able to alienate the trust between Sima Longju and Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu stood up fiercely and shouted to the herald outside the account, "The three armies quickly bury the pot and make rice, and we will destroy Hangu Pass tonight!"

The stars twinkled in the night sky, and several lights that had disappeared suddenly lit up inexplicably.

Under the starry sky, Ziying was alone in Xianyang Palace, with a smile on his face and his hands inserted into the round square hole coins. The sound of the rattling sound was particularly beautiful.

"Liu Bang wants to use money to bribe my officers and men at Aoguan. Today, I want to see who has more money." Ziying said with a smile.

Ziying asked Xianyang to order Zhao Chen and Lingfen to take part of the money and go to Afang Palace. Han Tan was thoughtful and specially called the chef in the palace.

Giving money may not necessarily do good things, but treating them to a meal will have better results.

"There are 700,000 people. Even if the cooks who served King Liang Hui's cattle are resurrected, their hands will be numb from fatigue." Ziying threw the coins and laughed.

"The king doesn't seem to need so many people, right?" Zhao Cheng asked at the side. Ziying would go to the harem tonight to fulfill his promise to him.

Ziying smiled thoughtfully and said, "Of course it's not necessary, but I just want them to participate."

Zhao Cheng frowned, "Aren't extra people a waste of money? Why would the king do this?"

"Don't you understand, my dear? This is called a sense of participation." Ziying explained carefully, "A small number of the 700,000 people got a lot of money from building the city, but most people got very little money, so they will be jealous of these.

Many of them are prisoners, and maybe they want to destroy the city wall."

Zhao Cheng thought a little and nodded slightly.

"So I just give them all the money. After the city is built, the city wall still needs to be watered. The rest of the people will probably rush to get water from the Wei River." Ziying said with a smile.

Zhao Cheng silently admired Ziying, and Ziying's depth of thought was indeed beyond his comparison.

"Tomorrow I will go to Laoguan to work for the army, and tonight I will help Aiqing find the beauty that I like." Ziying said while twisting his neck.

"Kings..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go with me." Ziying couldn't help but pull Zhao Cheng into a five-carriage carriage and go straight to the harem.

Zhao Cheng's face was extremely ugly. The harem was a forbidden area, and only kings could ride in five carriages. Ziying had already made him commit capital crimes many times.

Zhao Cheng sat obediently in the carriage with his head bowed, while Ziying drove the carriage for him outside.

Terrified, the temporary "servant" took him to the courtyard of the harem.

Ziying stopped the carriage and turned around and joked, "I have always asked about the beautiful women in Handan. King Wuling of Zhao could not sleep at night because of his dream of a beautiful girl. Aiqing is from Zhao, so her vision is naturally much higher. Maybe the palace maids in the harem are not allowed to enter."

Where are your eyes?"

Zhao Cheng forced an ugly smile.

Suddenly, women scolding and crying came from the harem.

what's the situation?

Harem battle drama?

Ziying couldn't figure it out. He had never summoned any concubine since he ascended the throne, so there was no talk of jealousy.

Ziying walked quickly to the bedroom door. Before the door opened, Caiwei's slim figure came into Ziying's eyes through the window.

Caiwei was dressed in black silk thin clothes, a bit more solemn than usual, and was holding the hand of a palace servant in his thirties and whispering something.

"How bold!" Ziying pushed open the door and walked in.

Caiwei was startled and stood up from the ground holding the beauty's hand.

"Ziying, you are indeed a foolish king. You act like a wise king during the funeral during the day, and then go straight to the harem at night!" Caiwei glared at Ziying with her peach blossom eyes.

"This is the Harem of the Great Qin Dynasty. You can come here whenever you want." Ziying was slightly angry, "You broke into the harem without permission and bullied the people in the palace. You will have to settle the account today."

The palace man wiped his beautiful hands and wiped his tears, "Back to the king, Miss Caiwei did not bully this concubine, she just..."

"Just what?" Ziying asked, her tone softened a lot when meeting the beauty.

"I just advise your palace people to escape from the harem as soon as possible, reunite with their parents, and not be raised by you like livestock." Caiwei explained righteously.

Upon hearing this, the palace man covered his mouth and tears fell silently.

Ziying also felt a little uncomfortable. He had long wanted to disband the harem, but there were too many things to do, so it kept being postponed. Now, Caiwei scolded him.

"What you do is up to me. It's a serious crime for you to break into the harem without permission. Tomorrow, I'll give it to Zongzheng to take charge of your lawless temper." Ziying scolded.
