Li Rusong was very happy.
He had been very happy since he learned that Hou Yangcheng and his Queen had been caught. He personally went to see Hou Yangcheng and his Queen.
It had to be said that Hou Yangcheng and his queen were not ugly. His queen, who wore no makeup, looked rather delicate and pretty. She had a temperament that made people want to love her. Li Rusong felt a little restless when he looked at her.
Hou Yangcheng shrank to one side, watching Li Rusong look up and down his Queen with greedy eyes, not daring to move.
However, Li Rusong just looked at her a little. If he really wanted him to do anything, he would not dare.
This was originally the Queen of a country. Even now that Country R had been degraded, she was still the Queen of a king. Although she had no real status, in terms of status, it was not something that a minister could touch. This was a taboo.
In the case of Lan Yu in the early Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu's crime was that he did not know his own identity and raped the Imperial Concubine of Northern Yuan, causing her to commit suicide. Thus, he was reported and became one of the crimes that led to his death.
This was a taboo for a minister and must not be committed. If it was committed, it was really hard to say what the Emperor would think of it.
The current Emperor was not a kind and tolerant Emperor.
Li Rusong had already enjoyed a few of the young and beautiful women that he had captured. He didn't care about the rest, as long as they took the contraceptive soup and didn't get pregnant. This was a rule that all high-ranking officials had when they played with women.
But there was only one person in the world who could enjoy a Queen, and that was the Emperor of Daqin, Xiao Ruxun.
However, Li Rusong was still a little hesitant.
Could this really be offered to His Majesty the Emperor?
Li Rusong did not forget that Xiao Ruxun did not like women, nor did he forget that when the Northern Barbarians were on the Northern Expedition, they presented a beautiful Mongolian woman to Xiao Ruxun together. Xiao Ruxun played with her for a night and got rid of her early the next morning.
His Majesty only had one woman, the Empress. Everyone in the world knew how much the Emperor cared for the Empress. For the Empress, he didn't even hold a consort selection.
There was even a rumor in the court that the reason why the Emperor started the purge was because some officials had requested the Emperor to hold a concubine concubine selection, which made the Empress unhappy and angered the Emperor, prompting him to start the purge.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was nonsense. However, this kind of saying was quite popular. It was said that the Emperor wanted to learn from Emperor Xiaozong of the previous Ming Dynasty and only have one Empress in his life, and not other concubines.
In the battle of Bozhou, Qi Dayong captured Yang Yinglong's daughter alive. When they returned to the capital to celebrate, Qi Dayong presented Yang Yinglong's beautiful daughter to Xiao Ruxun.
Xiao Ruxun was very pleased. At the banquet, he praised Qi Dayong's loyalty, bestowed money and cloth, and even bestowed Qi Dayong's two-year-old son, Yinguan, posthumously conferred titles to Qi Dayong's parents, and gave them enough glory. Then, he bestowed this woman to Qi Dayong as a concubine.
Qi Dayong:???
It was said that Qi Dayong did not understand the Emperor's actions. He looked at the room full of rewards and glory, and then looked at the woman who had been returned. He was confused.
After that, he locked that woman up in the backyard of his house and provided her with good food and drinks. Up until now, he did not dare to touch her even with a finger. He was afraid that one day the Emperor would ask him for her and he would have already eaten her up and wiped her clean, embarrassing the Emperor.
He thought that this was the Emperor's test of his loyalty and was ready to present this woman to the Emperor.
Now that Li Rusong was faced with such a choice, of course, he was also puzzled. Was it flattery or flattery to present this woman to His Majesty?
Just as Li Rusong was in a dilemma, Xu Yangchuan came.
"This is the Queen of Japan?"
Xu Yangchuan looked at the Queen, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling with a miserable expression. "She looks good."
"Yes, I think so too. She does look good and very likable."
Li Rusong said, "Old Xu, do you think His Majesty will be happy if this woman is presented to him?"
Xu Yangchuan looked at Li Rusong with a little surprise. "Have you forgotten about Yang Yinglong's daughter?"
"I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't forgotten!"
Li Rusong said, "But this woman is the Queen of Country R, not an ordinary noble lady. As officials, we don't dare to overstep our authority. In this world, who else is qualified to enjoy this woman except His Majesty?"
"That makes sense."
Xu Yangchuan had to admit that what Li Rusong said was right. "Then what are you going to do? Present this woman to His Majesty? Old Li, I warn you, His Majesty attaches great importance to the Empress. If you present this woman to His Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Empress will be unhappy? If the Empress is unhappy, will you still have a good life? "
Li Rusong suddenly looked bitter. "But who else can this woman be given to except His Majesty? Who dares to want her? You? Me? Or Marshal Ma? Or should I kill you? "
"Don't kill me! I beg you … don't kill me! "
Before Xu Yangchuan could reply, the Queen knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Hey! You can speak Chinese? "
Li Rusong looked at the Queen with great surprise.
Xu Yangchuan was stunned for a moment. Then, as if remembering something, he patted his head and said, "I remember now. The Japanese aristocrats all learn our Chinese characters. Some of them even learn to speak Chinese. The Queen is one of them, right?"
"Yes …"
The Queen knelt on the ground, shivering.
"What about you? Your Royal Highness? "
Xu Yangchuan suddenly looked at Hou Yangcheng with a face full of evil interest.
"This little king … this little king also knows …"
Hou Yangcheng's shivering was no better than the Queen's.
"This is interesting, they can understand what we say?"
Li Rusong became interested. "Then, Queen, this general asks you, are you willing to die? Or are you willing to serve our Emperor of the Daqin? "
Li Rusong looked at the Queen and Hou Yangcheng with a face full of evil interest.
"This little … this little girl is willing … willing to … serve the Emperor … His Majesty …"
The Queen was so scared that she could only say these words intermittently.
"Hahahahaha …"
Li Rusong and Xu Yangchuan laughed happily together.
Xu Yangchuan walked in front of Hou Yangcheng, bent down and asked, "What does Your Royal Highness think about this?"
"No … no … do not dare to have any opinion … everything … everything is at the disposal of the Emperor of the Daqin … just … just beg for our lives …"
Xu Yangchuan stood up in boredom, sighed, and looked at Li Rusong.
"Old Li, after all, this is the King and Queen of a country. Speaking of it, it is not up to us, the ministers, to deal with them. Otherwise, we will be suspected of overstepping our authority. I think we should hand them over to the Military Law Office and let them take care of them. After that, we will wait for His Majesty's punishment. Let's not interfere, lest people gossip."
Li Rusong nodded, looked at the Queen with some reluctance, and shook his head.
"Still looking?"
Xu Yangchuan stood behind Li Rusong and glared at him. Li Rusong smiled embarrassedly, turned his head, and left.
But regardless of what should be said, Xu Yangchuan also felt that this woman looked delicate and pitiful, giving off an unbearable feeling to men. He could not stay in front of her for too long, otherwise, he would make a political mistake, and that would not be good.
