Chapter 344 Liu Bang and Li Er taught me how to take in the enemy’s daughter
Zhao Ji personally removed the hidden danger - and took out the bottle of Nine Poison Powder hidden in Cao's body...
Zhao Ji saw that this small porcelain vase had an elegant and unique overall shape, about ten centimeters tall, with a slender body, a small mouth and a thin neck; a red rope ring was tied around its neck.
The mouth of the bottle, slightly turned outward, has been blocked by a cork, and has been sealed with wax.
This bottle has a stable bottom, a round and full abdomen, and the abdominal circumference should be eight or nine centimeters thick.
The surface of this bottle has been soaked, making its glaze color as warm and moist as jade.
Zhao Ji held the exquisite small porcelain bottle sealed with wax in the palm of his hand and sighed:
"This vase is not too small. Mr. Cao, you are able to hide it so well. It's true that 'it's big when it's contained'!"
Mrs. Cao's pretty face turned red with embarrassment and she was speechless!
Zhao Ji sneered, looked at the beauty Cao, and asked leisurely:
"This bottle has been hidden in your body for a day and a night, right?"
The beauty Cao, who was barely wearing hair, had a pretty face and nodded shyly.
She thought of the scene when Zhao Guan's family took out the bottle of Nine Poison Powder with their own hands just now, and she was so ashamed that she felt ashamed...
She originally thought that in this palace where a man and a woman were alone, the Zhao Guan family would take this opportunity to be lucky to her...
However, she made a wrong judgment.
Zhao Ji continued to ask: "Do you feel comfortable having this bottle hidden in your body for so long?"
Mrs. Cao didn't know how to answer. She hesitated and said:
"It's... not bad!"
"Huh!" Zhao Ji was furious and said:
"You feel okay?! I don't feel okay!"
"Ah?!" Ms. Cao was extremely frightened.
Zhao Ji threatened: "You hid this poison in order to murder me. This is a crime of great treason, and the nine tribes should be killed!"
"When my imperial commander personally conquers the Xia Kingdom's capital, I will definitely destroy all nine of your Cao clans!"
"Ah?!" Ms. Cao shouted in horror:
"The official has mercy! The slave family was also coerced by Emperor Xia Li Qianshun and had to hide this bottle of nine poisons and disperse it into the Song camp!"
"Otherwise, not only will the slave family be killed by the ruthless Emperor Xia, but the slave family's natal family will also be implicated!"
"Since I have confessed to the officials, I beg the officials to spare my life!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Ji stared at the frightened pretty face of Cao, the most beautiful woman in Xixia, and said leisurely:
"Ms. Cao, although you were threatened by Li Qianshun, if you had truthfully confessed that you were coerced into hiding this poison when you saw me for the first time yesterday, then naturally I would have spared your life!"
"But, after a night of considering the pros and cons, you came to report to me now."
"This proves that when you first met me, you still had the intention to get close to me and carry out the poisonous plan of Li Qianshun!"
"Li Qianshun regards you as a treasure, but I regard you as a piece of shit. I didn't favor you yesterday. You can't get close to me in five days, and you will never be able to harm me. That's why you are truthful today."
Explain in order to protect yourself! No, that’s not it?”
"Guan Jia, please spare your life! Wuwuwu..." Ms. Cao was so frightened that she burst into tears.
Mrs. Cao felt that Zhao Guanjia could see through her thoughts.
Yesterday, she was worried about not following Li Qianshun's request and fearing that her natal family would be killed. She really didn't know how to choose, so she kept putting it off and didn't tell the truth when she first met Zhao Guan's family.
Zhao Ji said coldly: "Ms. Cao, if you could have told me the truth when you met me yesterday, I would not have punished you, but would have praised you! However, it is too late now!"
"Ms. Cao, although you are stunningly beautiful, I love the country more than beauty!"
"How could I leave behind this beautiful but useless person like you who once harbored evil intentions towards me?"
"Ms. Cao, please get dressed quickly. I hope you can confess your crime of trying to poison me today, and I will leave a whole body for you!"
"Guan Jia, please spare my life~!" Ms. Cao knelt forward, stretched out her two jade hands and hugged Zhao Guan Jia's calf tightly, crying and begging for mercy...
"Bang!" Zhao Ji raised his leg and kicked the beautiful lady Cao to the ground.
"Ah?!" Mrs. Cao screamed in pain, feeling a little tight in her chest.
She never imagined that she would be so abused.
However, she then thought about it, unless he was the kind of faint-hearted Emperor Xia Emperor Li Qianshun described as the current Emperor Song Emperor, he might be able to spare the beauty who wanted to murder him, right?
However, after Cao met the emperor twice, she had already seen that the current Emperor of Song Dynasty was not the kind of cowardly emperor that Li Qianshun criticized.
On the contrary, Cao realized that the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guanjia, was not only more handsome and handsome than Li Qianshun, but also far more talented than Li Qianshun. Zhao Guanjia was a sage monarch who focused on military and national affairs.
After Cao received a not-too-hard kick from Zhao Guanjia on the chest, she calmed down and became more alert.
In order to survive, Cao, who was already extremely smart, was thinking rapidly about how to get the Zhao Guan family to spare her life...
The beautiful lady Cao stood up again with both hands on the ground, knelt down three steps away from Zhao Guan's house, and said sadly:
"The slave family really can't help it!"
"The slave family knows very well that the official family is a saintly king and wise master who loves the country. The slave family begs Zhao Guanjia to spare his life. The slave family can not only please the official family with sex, but the slave family can also contribute to the official family who is personally conquered by the emperor and help the official family to be destroyed as soon as possible. Lose the Xia Kingdom..."
"hehe……"
Zhao Ji sneered and said, "Ms. Cao, how can you help me destroy Xia?"
Cao immediately replied:
"The Nu family did not enter the Xia Kingdom's palace until they were fourteen years old. The Nu family grew up in the capital city of the Xia Kingdom. They are very familiar with the gates and streets of Xingqing Mansion in the capital city. When the official army attacks Xia Jing, the Nu family can Lead the way for the Song army!"
Zhao Ji said disdainfully: "During my expedition to Xia, I captured many Xia soldiers. Furthermore, I have already sent spies to Xia's capital. How can I lack the leaders to attack Xia's capital?"
When the beauty Cao thought about it, Zhao Guanjia was right, and she hurriedly said:
"When the officials led an army to attack the Xia capital, the slaves, as the imperial concubines of the Xia Kingdom, voluntarily went to the front of the battle and persuaded the Xia army defending the city to surrender to the Song Dynasty..."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and asked: "How can you, a weak woman, convince the Xia army soldiers who were guarding the city to abandon the city and surrender?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The smart Cao heard that Zhao Guanjia's tone had slowed down, and like a drowning person, she grasped at straws to save her life.
She immediately reported back: "The officials are wise! Although the Nu family may not really be able to convince the soldiers guarding Xia Jing's city to open the city gate and surrender to the Song Dynasty;
However, as the imperial concubine of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Nu family could make the soldiers and generals who were guarding the Xia Jing city see with their own eyes that their emperor Li Qianshun had become timid and gave up his love in order to beg for peace with the Song Dynasty. I will send you to Songying’s house as a concubine.”
"In this case, coupled with the fact that the officials personally marched, commanded thousands of troops, and besieged Xia Jing with heavy troops, the Xia army guarding Xia Jing will inevitably be shaken and their morale will be low. It will be beneficial for the officials to capture the Xia capital!"
Zhao Ji smiled and nodded.
This was the decision he guided Cao to make step by step. Naturally, he had already thought about it.
Now that Cao was forced to save her life, she made this choice on her own, which was in line with Zhao Ji's wishes.
The smart Ms. Cao knelt on the ground and looked up at Zhao Guan's family. After she saw Zhao Guan's smiling expression, she saw hope of survival.
She hurriedly added:
"The slave family can also tell the officials everything they know about Emperor Xia and Gong Yanchaotang."
"Ms. Cao, I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to explain this! I won't kill you for the time being."
"The slave family thanks the official family for not killing..."
"Ms. Cao, whether you can bear the crime and perform meritorious service, I still have to see how you behave in the future!"
As Zhao Ji spoke, he stretched out his hand and stroked the top of the beauty Cao's head, smoothing her messy hair that had been caused by her body shaking from fright.
"However, I have no time to listen to your story at this time. After you return to the other courtyard in the city, you can talk to the two eunuchs I have arranged in the other courtyard. They are both well-versed in writing and will record what you say. The useful points in it are then passed on to me for review.”
"The slave family obeys the order!" Cao said.
She immediately understood that the palace maids and eunuchs arranged by Zhao Guan's family to monitor her words and deeds were all people who monitored her words and deeds. If there was any abnormality in her, Zhao Guan's family would definitely know it clearly.
Now, Ms. Cao was glad that she had confessed to Zhao Guan's family about hiding the Nine Du Powder, and had received leniency from the Zhao Guan family. Otherwise, under such tight surveillance, she would not have been able to take out the Nine Du Powder and execute Xia Emperor Li Qianshun's plan. Poisonous plan.
At this time, Zhao Ji caressed the beauty Cao's hand, moved it down across her pretty face, raised her pointed chin, and forced Cao's frightened and confused eyes to meet his majestic gaze.
Zhao Ji reassured him: "If I can lead my army to attack the Xia capital as soon as possible, the despicable Xia Emperor Li Qianshun may not have time to kill your mother-in-law!"
"Mrs. Cao, if you sincerely surrender, and you can make meritorious deeds, I will hold your grandfather Cao Mian accountable for his crime of surrendering to Xia; I will also pardon your mother's family and protect their lives."
Mrs. Cao was overjoyed and excitedly said:
"The slave family sincerely surrenders and thanks the Lord for his kindness..."
Zhao Ji waved his sleeves and said:
"I still have military and national affairs to deal with. Please put on your clothes and leave!"
"The slave family obeys the order, and the slave family thanks the master for his kindness..."
The naked beauty Cao felt a little cold after hearing the Zhao Guan family's order. She shuddered, thanked her, then hurriedly put on her clothes and bowed out of the hall...
After Zhao Ji watched the beauty Cao exit the hall, he looked at the sealed small porcelain bottle containing poison that he had just taken out from Cao's body.
He secretly thought: "It seems that under my coercion and inducement, Mrs. Cao is truly convinced after being abused!"
"Then, when I confirm that Mrs. Cao is not pregnant, that is, she will not be pregnant with Li Renxiao, who will revitalize Xixia in the future;
I might as well learn from Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Mengde, who did such elegant things as taking in the wives and concubines of defeated enemies..."
Zhao Ji thought about it so much that he felt very excited unconsciously.
Because, he is not just for beauty, he also considers the selection of the heir to the throne.
The current prince Zhao Huan, also known as Song Qinzong in history, failed to defend Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, causing an eternal shame - the Jingkang Disaster!
Obviously, Zhao Huan cannot be the emperor.
And what about the Ninth Prince Kang Wang Zhao Gou?
Zhao Ji knew that in history, after the Jingkang Incident, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong and almost all members of the royal family were captured by the Jin army and escorted to the bitter cold northeastern region. Zhao Gou, who survived, got a big advantage and he became a The person most qualified to succeed him.
Zhao Gou was first hailed as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and then as the emperor.
However, after Zhao Gou made his way south to Yanyan, he preferred to settle in Hangzhou and did not want to make progress. He favored the traitorous prime minister, killed Yue Fei in vain, and begged for peace with Jin...
In history, Zhao Gou may have been frightened when being chased by the Jin army, which made him infertile throughout his life. His only biological son also died in infancy.
Obviously, the time traveler Zhao Ji did not consider it and passed the throne to Zhao Gou.
Where is King Yun Zhao Kai?
For Zhao Ji, the original owner of his own body, Song Huizong Zhao Ji, liked Zhao Kai very much. However, as a time traveler, he always felt that Zhao Kai would be okay as a prince. Let him succeed him as the emperor. It feels a bit different.
In short, Zhao Kai's destiny may not be able to withstand the throne. He was made a prince, but he was kidnapped by the Jin army, and he was humiliated and waited to die with the two saints in a bitter cold place.
But now Zhao Ji feels that he is still in good health and can regenerate. He might as well look for the princes born from later generations.
Zhao Ji looked around and found that Cao, the imperial concubine of the Xia Kingdom who was sacrificed to the Song camp at this time, really looked like Bo Ji during the conflict between Chu and Han before the Qin Dynasty in history.
Bo Ji in history was from Wu County, Kuaiji County. She married King Bao of Wei when she was young.
After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought for supremacy...
In March of the second year of the Han Dynasty (205 BC), Liu Bang, the king of Han, went out to attack Chu and crossed the river from Linjin. Wei Bao surrendered to Liu Bang and led his army to follow Liu Bang and attack Pengcheng, the capital of Chu.
However, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, defeated Liu Bang's army in Pengcheng. Wei Bao misjudged the situation and believed that Chu would win and Han would lose. He secretly commanded his elite troops to return to Hedong under the pretext of visiting relatives...
At this time, Wei Lao, the mother-in-law of King Bao of Wei, invited Xu Negi to the palace of the King of Wei to tell Wei Bao's wife, Bo Ji, a fortune teller and fortune teller. Xu Negi said that Bo Ji had a noble appearance and would definitely become the emperor if she gave birth to a son in the future.
King Bao of Wei was overjoyed and thought that in the future his son would be the emperor. Then I would be the emperor's father. I should also be able to become the emperor. Then why should I follow Liu Bang, the king of Han, who was far less powerful than King Chu Bawang?
Wei Bao therefore made up his mind to rebel against the Han Dynasty. He ordered his soldiers to cut off the Yellow River crossing and betrayed Liu Bang.
In the autumn of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the king of Han, heard that Wei Bao had betrayed him, so he sent Li Shiqi to persuade Wei Bao to have an audience with the king of Han.
Wei Bao said to Li Shiqi: "Life is like a white colt passing through a gap. Now the King of Han is insulting people and calling the princes and ministers like slaves. I can't bear to see him again."
Wei Bao led his troops to defend the capital of Anyi. He also sent envoys to contact Xiang Yu and invited the Chu general Xiang Tuo, together with the Wei generals Baizhi and Feng Jingtong, to garrison the ancient city and fortify the Jin Pass to prevent Han soldiers from attacking his Wei territory.
.
Liu Bang was worried that the alliance between Chu and Wei would be detrimental to the Han Dynasty. He appointed Han Xin, Cao Shen, and Guan Ying as generals and deputy generals, and led the army to attack Wei...
Han Xin led his troops to display their ships in Linjin, pretending they wanted to cross the river here, while the ambush troops used wooden poppies as boats to sneak across from Xia Yang, and with lightning speed, they surrounded the city of Anyi.
Seeing that the situation was over, Wei Bao surrendered the city to the Han Dynasty. His whole family was captured, and Bo Ji was sent to work in the palace's weaving workshop...
On the one hand, Liu Bang loved Wei Bao's bravery, and on the other hand, in order not to lose the hearts of Wei people, he did not kill Wei Bao, and ordered Wei Bao and the censor Zhou Yan to guard Xingyang.
In August of the third year of the Han Dynasty, the Chu army surrounded Xingyang. Zhou Ke decisively killed Wei Bao on the grounds that "the rebel king is difficult to defend with him."
After Wei Bao's death, Liu Bang went to the weaving workshop and saw Bo Ji's outstanding beauty, so he favored her and ordered her to be included in the harem...
After Bo Jiwei gave birth to her son Liu Heng, she rarely had the chance to sleep with him.
After Liu Bang's death, Bo Ji followed her son Liu Heng to the Kingdom of Dai and was honored as the Queen Mother of Dai. Therefore, Bo Ji and her son Liu Heng escaped the murder of Empress Lu.
Empress Lü died, brothers Zhu Xuhou and Liu Zhang, Prime Minister Chen Ping, and Taiwei Zhou Bo jointly killed all the kings of the Lü family, and welcomed Liu Heng, the acting king, to ascend the throne as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
The following year, Bo Ji was honored as the empress dowager.
After Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi came to the throne, he respected Bo Ji as the Empress Dowager.
…
Zhao Ji took history as a guide. This is what Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, taught me, how to take in the beautiful wives and concubines of the enemy!
The reason why I want the beauty Cao to rest for a period of time is the same as when Liu Bang sent Bo Ji, the wife of King Bao of Wei, to work in the weaving room in the palace of the Han Dynasty for a period of time.
First, you can avoid criticism from others;
Secondly, and most importantly, it can guarantee that the beautiful wives and concubines of the enemy that are taken in will definitely be their own flesh and blood if they become pregnant in the future.
Zhao Ji not only thought of Liu Bang taking in the enemy's wife, but also thought of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who also took in the enemy's daughter or the enemy's wife and concubines.
For example, when Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and led his troops to attack Chang'an, the Yin Shishi who stayed in Chang'an during the Sui Dynasty killed Li Yuan's relatives in the city and sent people to dig up the ancestral graves of Li Yuan's family.
After the city was broken, Master Yinshi was killed. Li Yuan was so angry that he left all the men in Master Yin's family alive, but kept all the women and reduced them to slaves.
The daughter of Yin Shishi, Yin Yue'e, had outstanding temperament and good looks. She stood out among a group of maids. Li Shimin fell in love with the beautiful Yin Yue'e at a glance. After he ascended the throne, he took her as his concubine.
Yin Yue'e gave birth to a prince, Li You, for Li Shimin.
In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Li You, the governor of Qizhou and the king of Qi, rebelled. He was defeated and captured. He was deposed as a commoner. She died in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was buried with the ceremony of the Duke. The concubine Yin was therefore demoted to concubine Yin.
Zhao Ji, who is familiar with history, knows that Li Er has a lot of fun, and the widow of his "ally" must also be taken care of!
Not only did Li Shimin take in Yin Yue'e, but in the fourth year of Wude, he also took in Wei Gui, a beautiful widow who lived alone with her children, as his concubine...
(Wei Gui’s late husband was Li Min. He and his father Li Zixiong followed Yang Xuangan in revolting against the Sui Dynasty and were defeated. The Li family and his son were executed and their family was deprived of their status.)
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he named Wei Gui as his concubine. Concubine Wei gave birth to two children for Li Shimin, namely Princess Linchuan and the tenth prince Ji Wang Li Shen.
In Zhao Ji's view, Li Er's most entertaining thing was to seize his sister-in-law...
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin provided "special care" to his brother Li Yuanji's princess Yang...
Yang was beautiful and came from the Sui Dynasty royal family. Many years after her husband Li Yuanji was killed, she was once favored by Taizong Li Shimin and gave birth to the youngest prince Li Ming.
Li Shimin also felt that he took in his sister-in-law Yang's family, which was not very authentic. He never canonized Yang or gave her a title.
Li Shimin named his son Li Ming, who he had with his sister-in-law Yang, as King Cao, and adopted him as his heir to Li Yuanji, who was killed by him in the Xuanwumen Incident.
…
"No one can deny that Liu Bang and Li Shimin are a generation of saintly kings and heroes. I must learn from what these two can do!"
Of course, Zhao Ji knew that while Liu Bang and Li Er were doing these fancy things, they were also working hard to govern, and they were definitely not indulging in the gentle countryside.
Therefore, Zhao Ji waited until the beauty Cao, the princess of Xia State, left the palace, and he also went out of the palace to inspect the various camps of the Song army...
At the end of the day, when Zhao Ji was inspecting the military camp of Zhongshi Dao Division,
Suddenly, the reporting officer rode a fast horse to report:
"Report..."
"The governor of the prefecture defeated Keqiu's troops and achieved a great victory..."
