Unexpectedly, Yao Jinle's move not only did not anger King Xiang, but greatly pleased him.
He stood up, clapped his hands vigorously for Yao Jinle, and shouted, "Excellent! Lord Yao is indeed His Majesty's lackey. Even while scolding him, he didn't forget to bring His Majesty along to put pressure on me! But Lord Yao, don't forget that even His Majesty has to listen to the Queen Mother. How about you and I try and see whose confession His Majesty finally listened to?"
After saying this, King Xiang burst into laughter. What happened to Yuwen Ran's men?
As long as he tied someone up and threw them somewhere randomly without caring about them, no one would know if they died.
When he returns to Beijing, he can make up whatever he wants.
As long as he put all the blame for the disaster relief in Qianzhou on Yao Jinle, Yao Jinle would have been dead by then.
He said that Yao Jinle treated the lives of the people of Qianzhou as worthless, so he was beaten to death in the street during a riot by the people.
He Shuhuan was the first to stand up from his seat, kneeling before Prince Xiang and saying with deep trepidation, "I have failed in my duties and caused the disruption of the welcoming banquet prepared for Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
Although I said this, I felt relieved.
No matter what, the attitude of the King of Xiang towards Yao Jinle showed his attitude. He treated Yao Jinle in this way, and I think he also had the intention of silencing Yao Jinle.
As long as he took advantage of this opportunity to please Prince Xiang, perhaps when Prince Xiang returned to the capital, he would speak well of him in front of the emperor.
Add a few more to his political achievements, and try to transfer him from this poor and remote Qianzhou to a state where the people are richer and the officials are even richer, so that he can make more money.
He Shuhuan's subordinates reacted faster. After He Shuhuan knelt down, they clapped their hands and asked the servants to bring up the gifts prepared for King Xiang.
At the end of the small corridor of the provincial government, a group of beauties in plain clothes filed in. They were only wearing a thin layer of gauze in the snow and ice. Their bodies were visible and invisible as they walked. The one in the lead was especially unique. She was so charming as she moved like clouds and water. Every gesture she made could attract a man's soul.
When King Xiang saw so many beauties and had just drunk some wine, he soon felt hot all over.
He loosened his robe, staring intently at the beauties in front of him, and said to He Shuhuan: "What do you mean, Master He?"
He Shuhuan heard Prince Xiang calling his name and hurriedly said, "I've heard that Your Highness is fond of beauties in the capital, so I've taken it upon myself to buy a group of prostitutes from the brothels in Qianzhou to serve Your Highness. Your Highness, please rest assured that these prostitutes have been freshly trained by the brothel owner and are pure and untouched. These prostitutes are considered the most beautiful here, and I hope they will catch Your Highness's eye. If they serve Your Highness, it will be a blessing from their ancestors."
Prince Xiang chuckled softly, his heart already captivated by those beauties. However, he still said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord He, but I'm here to help with the disaster relief in Qianzhou. It's against the rules for you to force all these beauties on me in public."
He Shuhuan understood the hidden meaning behind the King's words and immediately said, "This matter is due to my poor handling of the matter. I beg Your Highness to forgive me. I will let them go immediately."
King Xiang drank the glass of wine contentedly. He Shuhuan was indeed a smart man. Compared with Yao Jinle, the stubborn nerd, they were like heaven and earth.
After the banquet, He Shuhuan sent someone to lead Prince Xiang back to the courtyard prepared for him. After all, Prince Xiang was still a member of the royal family. He first ordered someone to search the area and, after confirming that there were no suspects, he walked into the house and closed the door.
The beauty who was originally sitting in the room stood up and bowed gracefully. She was not clear at a distance just now, but now it seemed that she was even more charming than before, a real goblin.
"What is your Highness thinking about? Why is he so lost in thought? Even when I stood before you, you didn't even look at me. Your Highness's concentration is truly remarkable!"
The beauty chuckled softly, then fell into King Xiang's arms as if she had no bones.
The prince of Xiang had a beautiful woman in his arms, and the beauty in his arms was still restless, stirring up fire everywhere in him. He kissed the beautiful woman on the lips, and after the kiss he said: "This prince is naturally thinking about what to do with you later!"
The beauty's face flushed red from being teased by the King, and she buried herself in his arms. She blew a breath into his ear and chuckled, "Your Majesty is so annoying!"
"Then I'll show you something even more disgusting later..."
King Xiang settled down peacefully in this provincial capital, where he was treated to fine wine and beautiful women every day.
It was not enough for him to do it alone, he also had to get those officials to sing and dance with him every day.
Qianzhou is far away and the hands of Yuwen Ran and the Queen Mother cannot reach here.
Prince Xiang lived a more carefree life than in the capital. In the eyes of He Shuhuan and others, Prince Xiang did not come to Qianzhou to provide disaster relief, but rather to have fun.
King Xiang said that he was waiting for He Shuhuan to prepare food from other states before starting disaster relief, but in fact he was enjoying himself eating, drinking and having fun.
When he got tired of playing with the beauties that He Shuhuan had prepared for him, he wandered around Qianzhou City. When he saw a girl who was pretty and caught his eye, he would ask his servants to forcibly abduct her and bring her back to the provincial government.
He gave the family two taels of silver as alms, and even if the girl in the family was bought by him, he would have no relationship with them from then on.
Within a few days, the girls in Qianzhou City dared not go out. They stayed at home every day in fear, for fear that they would be noticed by King Xiang and forcibly abducted.
When King Xiang saw that he couldn't meet the beauty he liked on the street, he took He Shuhuan with him and asked him to tell him which family had a daughter. He then ordered the guards to knock on the doors one by one, carry out the daughters, and take back to the provincial government those who he liked.
The family without daughters thought they had escaped, but they didn't expect that King Xiang was tired of the delicacies from land and sea and wanted to eat the pigs and sheep raised by the people!
Qianzhou was already suffering from a severe drought and famine, and now not only was there no food, but even pigs and sheep were gone.
More and more people died of starvation in Qianzhou City, and their complaints became louder and louder.
What He Shuhuan told them was that King Xiang came from the capital to help them overcome the difficulties.
It's not like now, where the King of Xiang came to make matters worse. Qianzhou was already short of supplies. Many people had already starved to death before the King of Xiang came.
After King Xiang came, the country was in peace and prosperity every day, and the food that could be distributed to the people was already less, not to mention that he was now forcibly abducting women and pigs and sheep from the people's homes.
