Just as Cai Gui thought, Tang Yin really wanted to find a puppet for himself in Ningdi to handle Ningdi's affairs on his behalf, at least on the surface. Cai Songzheng, who was born in a famous family and was the head of the country, was also timid and afraid of death.
He is the most suitable candidate in Tang Yin's mind.
And Cai Song did not disappoint him, and accepted his request with peace of mind. In Tang Yin's mind, Cai Song was more suitable, because this person was stupid enough and easier to be controlled by him.
After all that needed to be said, Tang Yin did not stay any longer. He got on his horse and said to Cai Song, "Master Cai, when you enter the palace tomorrow, I will grant you a specific official position and explain your specific affairs."
"Yes, yes, yes! I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to see the king!"
"There are still many nobles in Liangzhou who have not made it clear whether they are willing to submit to the emperor and to this king. I do not want to cause more killings. When you enter the palace tomorrow, it is best to bring these people over. If there are some who are not present,
This king will regard him as a traitor and will punish him severely!"
Cai Song raised the corner of his mouth, smiled unconsciously, and agreed more simply, saying yes repeatedly. According to Tang Yin's wishes, whoever he brings into the palace will live, and whoever does not will definitely die. Their lives are all in the hands of Tang Yin.
In your own hands, this is a great opportunity to earn benefits and favors.
Tang Yin nodded and said: "Okay, there is nothing else to do. Mr. Cai can go back home and rest peacefully."
"Old minister, I send you my best regards!" Now Cai Song looked like a respectful minister in front of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin turned his horse to go, and his eyes happened to glance at Cai Youling. He immediately reined in the reins and said, "Master Cai, I and your concubine, Miss Youling, are old friends. I don't think Master Cai would mind if I take Miss Youling away."
Reminiscing about old times?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Tang Yin and Cai Youling were old friends. How could this be possible? When did they meet? How come they had never heard of it before. Including Cai Song, people's eyes turned to Cai Youling.
Look.
Cai Youling didn't expect that Tang Yin would directly say that he would take her away. She couldn't guess what Tang Yin wanted to do, revenge on herself? Or was he really going to reminisce about the past? She lowered her head and was silent, but her silent attitude just showed that she and Tang Yin
There is a connection between them.
Cai Song reacted very quickly. He was only stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing and nodded in response: "The king and the daughter are old acquaintances. This is an honor for my Cai family. How can I object to the king and the daughter reminiscing about old times!"
It would be best if Tang Yin could take Youling as his concubine, then the relationship between the Cai family and Tang Yin would be completely solid, and he could continue to be the head of the country... This was what the old man was thinking.
After receiving Cai Song's approval, Tang Yin smiled at Cai Youling and said, "Miss Youling, please!"
Cai Youling knew that she should refuse Tang Yin's invitation, but looking at the smile on his face, she seemed to be pulled by some kind of magic power and walked forward involuntarily.
When she walked past Cai Gui, the latter quietly held her wrist and asked in a low voice: "Little sister, do you... really know him?"
Cai Youling is the youngest daughter of the Cai family. The Cai family has always treated her very dearly since she was a child.
She said noncommittally: "I was once his prisoner..." and I almost killed him once.
Hearing what she said, Cai Gui also remembered that when Youling went to Feng Kingdom with the Zhan brothers, he was indeed captured by the Feng Army, and the commander of the Feng Army at that time was Tang Yin. It is somewhat said that the two were old friends.
It's far-fetched, but it's definitely true. Cai Gui glanced deeply at Cai Youling worriedly, but slowly let go of the hand holding her wrist.
Cai Youling walked up to Tang Yin, raised her head, looked at him blankly, and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "The palace."
Ningwang Palace.
When Cai Youling followed Tang Yin to the palace, people were coming and going, and Feng Jun was everywhere.
Countless soldiers of the Feng Army were cleaning up the battlefield, and people gathered together the corpses scattered throughout the palace. The corpses were piled up one after another, forming mountains of corpses. Not far away, there were many palace maids standing.
People were trembling with fear and huddled together, surrounded by fierce-looking Feng soldiers.
Looking further away, we can see Yan Chu's concubines and their children who were gathered together. Feng Jun was not polite to these people at all. From time to time, soldiers stepped forward, pulled out a row of people from the crowd, and knelt on the ground.
Finally, the executioner slashed with his knife, then dragged the corpses away one by one and threw them on the mountain of corpses like dead dogs.
This is not a royal palace, it is simply a hell on earth full of blood and death.
As he walked by, Tang Yin didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see the tragic scene around him. Cai Youling's heart was in her throat, and she asked in a trembling voice: "You...are you going to kill all the Yan clan?"
Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "If I don't kill them today, they will try their best to kill me tomorrow. The kindness of women today will only lead to more killings tomorrow. So, we must do everything we can to kill the grass.
It must be eradicated!”
He said it in an understatement, but Cai Youling broke into a cold sweat. Regardless of whether he looked at Tang Yin from a hostile standpoint, it would be difficult for people to think that he was a good person.
She pondered for a long time before asking again: "Then why did you let the eldest sister go?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "First of all, your sister is very lucky not to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Yan Chu. Secondly, she is timid and will not and will not dare to come to me for revenge in the future."
Cai Youling was silent. Although Tang Yin didn't have much contact with her sister, his evaluation of her was surprisingly accurate. Youlian was timid, cowardly in nature, and happy-go-lucky. Maybe it was because of this that Yan Chu decided to make her his concubine!
The two were walking towards the main hall. Qiu Zhen walked quickly from the side. When he got closer, he saw a strange and beautiful girl beside Tang Yin. He frowned secretly and asked: "Your Majesty, this is..."
"The daughter of the Cai family, Cai Youling." Tang Yin said to Cai Youling, "This is the left prime minister of the Feng Kingdom, Qiu Zhen."
"I've met Prime Minister Qiu." Cai Youling politely wished Qiu Zhen a blessing.
Qiu Zhen was stunned for a moment and said nothing more. He turned to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, the palace's treasury has been opened. I think your Majesty should go and have a look." As he spoke, Qiu Zhen's lips twitched unconsciously.
Tang Yin didn't see how much silver was stored in the treasury of King Ning's palace, but he could guess that the amount was huge. He smiled slightly and said, "Let me keep it under strict supervision first. I will go there later."
"Yes!" Qiu Zhen responded, bowed and retreated.
Tang Yin led Cai Youling into the main hall. After a while, Cai Youling couldn't help but look around.
This is the place where the monarchs and ministers of the Ning Kingdom hold court meetings, and it is also the place of highest authority in the Ning Kingdom. Although Cai Youling is said to be noble, she has never entered the main hall. The most she usually does is visit her sister in the harem.
"How is it here?" Tang Yin asked.
Cai Youling was stunned, looked away, looked at Tang Yin, and asked: "What is it like?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "It's very grand here! It's much larger and more gorgeous than the court hall in Feng Kingdom!" While speaking, he walked to the table. The furnishings on it were either made of jade or made of jade.
It is made of gold and silver. Even the base of the throne is made of pure gold. This is simply unbelievable in the Feng Kingdom.
"It is such a pity that such a powerful country, such a rich and vast country, Ning, should be governed by Yan Chu and waste all natural resources."
Listening to his contempt and ridicule for the monarch of the country, Cai Youling instinctively felt a sense of rejection. She sneered and said, "Isn't it a pity that you are the only one who governs the country without wasting natural resources?"
"Of course!" Tang Yin turned around, sat on the king's chair, holding the handle inlaid with gems, and said proudly: "In fact, I am already sitting here, right?"
Cai Youling was silent. Tang Yin was so arrogant that it was annoying, but he had to admit that he was capable of arrogance.
After being silent for a long time, she asked in a bad tone: "What is your purpose for coming to me here? Do you want revenge? I have fallen into your hands now. You can kill or chop me as you please!" Anyway, it's not the first place.
It falls into your hands for the first time. Cai Youling added in his heart.
Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "Don't worry, I don't mean to kill you, I just think... the palace is so big, once I return to Fengdi, it would be a pity to leave it idle, so I want to find a mistress for it."
His meaning was very clear. Cai Youling was not a fool, so of course he could understand. She asked in surprise: "You want me to live here?"
"That's right."
Cai Youling laughed, laughed angrily, and asked sarcastically: "Then in what capacity do I want to live here?"
Tang Yin said calmly: "My woman."
In fact, Cai Youling has been his woman for a long time. Now, he just brings her back to his side.
Cai Youling didn't expect Tang Yin to speak so directly. She was stunned for a moment. A blush gradually appeared on her face. Seeing Tang Yin's confident look that everything was under control, she didn't get angry at all and said seriously: "I didn't agree.
I want to be your woman..."
Before she could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted: "But in fact, you already were, as early as in Feng Country."
Cai Youling's heartbeat quickened. She didn't know whether it was because of shame or because she was angry with him. She pointed at Tang Yin and shouted: "You..."
"But it's strange. It seems that your father doesn't know about our relationship. After returning to Ningguo, you hid it very well!"
"Stop talking!" Cai Youling almost lost her mind and rushed to Tang Yin, the two of them were about to spit out fire.
Tang Yin still had a calm face. He stretched out his hand to pull her and pulled her to sit next to him. He said kindly: "You have no room to refute me. After all, the lives of your family are in my hands. In addition, living in
It’s much safer here than living outside.”
Being so close to Tang Yin, Cai Youling's heart beat faster. At this time, she even began to hate herself. Her reason told her that she should hate Tang Yin, and she should stay away from him and completely cut off the relationship. However, her reason told her
