Both of them had something to gain from each other, so their interests were aligned.
After Jiang Tian left, Zhao Jing quickly put her out of his mind.
He doesn't need to waste his energy on a woman who is unrelated to him.
Zhao Jing was extremely busy for the next month.
With a new emperor about to ascend the throne, court officials need to be reshuffled, those who should be purged need to be purged, and those who should be promoted need to be promoted. As the emperor's most trusted minister, Zhao Jing naturally had to work hard for him.
Fortunately, he was promoted and became a general of the second rank.
During this time, the emperor also asked about Jiang Tian, and Zhao Jing answered him one by one.
Outsiders only knew that the couple did not live together; they heard that one lived in the front yard and the other in the back yard, but they did not know that they had already divorced.
Of course, everyone was very understanding of Zhao Jing.
His wife ultimately did something she shouldn't have done; if we're talking about womanly virtues, she committed one of the seven grounds for divorce.
But she made great contributions, and her merits and demerits canceled each other out. She can still sit comfortably in the position of general's wife, which can be considered a stroke of good luck.
She's living a carefree life, but Zhao Jing must be feeling incredibly frustrated.
A woman like that is impossible to divorce; you have to fawn over her. Seeing her reminds you of the shame of being a husband and the ridicule of others. Life must be unbearable.
The new emperor seemed to realize that he had gone a bit too far. In order to enhance his reputation, he had humiliated his highly valued ministers, which was really unfair to him.
Therefore, when the new emperor was expanding his harem, he also selected several beautiful women for Zhao Jing and sent them to the general's mansion.
No one dared to refuse the emperor's favor.
Zhao Jing could only accept the imperial decree and express his gratitude.
The emperor said with a knowing look, "Minister Zhao should also think about your own marriage. You're not young anymore. Find a beautiful woman, have a child, and carry on the family line. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
At that time, many people in the military camp would seek out camp prostitutes to relieve their pent-up desires, but Zhao Jing never touched them.
Even if others make lewd jokes, he can still keep his expression completely unchanged.
As a result, some people speculated that he might be lacking in ambition.
It wasn't until one day, when Zhao Jing and his soldiers went to bathe in the river and saw that huge thing, that the rumors circulating in private finally stopped.
It would be a terrible waste not to use resources that have the means.
Although the emperor did not know how powerful Zhao Jing really was, since his subordinates all said he was very strong, he naturally had to reward him well.
During this period, the emperor took many beautiful women into his household.
After he ascended the throne, he reluctantly posthumously honored his third prince's wife as empress and their son as crown prince.
To be honest, he was very unwilling.
The Third Prince's wife, Qin Jinshu, was originally from a prestigious family, which is why he was willing to marry her.
But if they throw her into the capital, she'll be reduced to a servant... The new emperor despises her.
He disliked her, but had no choice but to posthumously confer the title of Empress on her in order to silence public opinion. The emperor was in a terrible predicament.
But that was all he could do.
Otherwise, the whole world would condemn him.
Even if the emperor was very unhappy, he still had to posthumously confer titles.
To make things perfect, he also stated that he would not marry a second wife for three years, which was considered a great gesture of respect.
As a result, the original plans were all disrupted.
The new emperor's beloved woman was very unhappy and started making a scene with him.
When the emperor was still the third prince, he was still willing to coax her. But when he became the ruler of the country, and the whole world revolved around him, this woman still couldn't learn a bit of gentleness, so he became annoyed.
So he went to other beauties and neglected her.
The beautiful woman beside him was understanding and highly skilled, and he lingered there even more.
This sparked an unstoppable interest among the new Na'vi.
He cared not only about himself, but also about his ministers, especially Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing replied in his usual tone, "Your Majesty, I only wish to conquer more cities for you. We can consider the matter of having offspring later."
The emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He likes people without a strong foundation, because such people will only be devoted to him.
Zhao Jing was just like that; he didn't even want to have children anymore, he only wanted to conquer the country for him.
"That won't do. Swords and spears have no eyes on the battlefield. Even if you are called a war god, you still need to have a few more children to prevent unforeseen circumstances."
This emperor really speaks frankly, without any beating around the bush.
Zhao Jing slowly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will try my best to have more children."
The emperor was pleased and let him go.
When Zhao Jing returned to the general's mansion, his attendants told him that the beauties had already been arranged in the backyard.
The emperor treated him quite well; each of the beauties was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Zhao Jing showed little joy on his face.
Seeing that their master was unhappy, the servants, who had initially been somewhat pleased, dared not utter a single word.
But some things still require Zhao Jing to set the rules.
The steward cautiously asked him, "General, what should we do with these beauties?"
The emperor bestowed six beauties upon them. The general's mansion had quite a few courtyards, but Zhao Jing was nowhere to be seen, and the steward dared not make a decision on his own.
Originally, such matters should be asked of the mistress, but Zhao Jing had told the steward not long ago that if there were any issues, he should come directly to him and not bother Jiang Tian.
If Jiang Tian has any requests, she should let her make them, but she should no longer be allowed to handle matters in the General's Mansion.
The butler seemed hesitant to speak at that moment.
Regardless of how the two masters came together, judging solely from the mistress's ability to manage the household, Jiang Tian has no shortcomings.
Zhao Jing was highly regarded, and his general's mansion was extremely prominent and eye-catching at the time.
No matter which spy entered, Jiang Tian would notice and inform the steward, who would then report to Zhao Jing.
In fact, the housekeeper had some feelings for Jiang Tian.
Unfortunately, the general did not like his wife, and as servants, they naturally could not get close to her.
Later, the general simply abandoned her, making the servants who were taken away tremble with fear whenever they saw Jiang Tian.
Fortunately, Jiang Tian's complexion showed no abnormalities.
Her personal maids and servants, whom she had ordered to be urgently sent out of the mansion, have now returned to continue serving her.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but with cracks appearing, it seemed that things could never be the same again.
Upon hearing the steward's words, a hint of annoyance flashed across Zhao Jing's eyes.
He wasn't interested in these domestic matters, so asking him was pointless.
He almost blurted out that he should let Jiang Tian handle it.
Recalling the letter of divorce, Zhao Jing patiently said, "Place them wherever they should be placed. You decide."
The housekeeper isn't stupid.
Although the master is not interested in women, no one knows whether the general will touch the six beauties who have been sent to him.
If he were to have an affair and meet someone he likes, and that person is dissatisfied with the accommodations arranged for her by the steward and makes a scene with the general, then the steward will be left with nothing but trouble.
He's too old to cause trouble.
Moreover, if he, as a servant, were to interfere in such matters as arranging beautiful women, probably no one would listen to him.
