As the sun rose the next day, Li Qin slowly opened his eyes.
Afterwards, I got up and stretched, feeling much better than I had in a long time.
In a few days, I'll go and take a look at the other spoils of war and see if there's anything I like.
I heard that most of Zhu Qiyu's concubines have been arrested.
It seems they were all imprisoned by Zhu Qizhen and exiled to the most difficult and tiring places in the palace.
It was Xi Ning who intervened to stop it.
Otherwise, given Zhu Qizhen's actions at the time, these people would probably have been forced to commit suicide to accompany Zhu Qiyu in death.
After Li Qin got up, Jiang Qingyue immediately began to straighten his clothes.
This time her technique was much more skillful, it seems she has been practicing a lot in Shanhaiguan during this period.
After tidying up Li Qin's clothes, Li Qin turned to leave.
However, Jiang Qingyue reached out and grabbed the hem of her clothes.
"What's wrong?"
Li Qin looked at Jiang Qingyue with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Qingyue bit her lip, and finally mustered up her courage to speak:
"This servant has a request."
When Li Qin heard that she actually had a request, he immediately frowned.
You spoils of war, and you even have requests?
Well, considering how hard she tried last night, I'll give it a listen.
Li Qin looked at the pants he had pulled up.
However, if she dares to whisper in his ear and interfere in matters of state and military affairs...
I'll immediately give you a white silk ribbon.
Anyway, I don't need a trophy like her right now.
There are many empresses and concubines in the palace.
This head cannot be opened.
Li Qin looked at Jiang Qingyue, his eyes darkening, and said:
"Go ahead and tell me."
Looking at Li Qin's gloomy eyes, Jiang Qingyue mustered her courage and said:
“My husband’s body is still in Liaodong. I request that his body be brought back for burial.”
The maid also heard that the servant's father, the Earl of Ningyuan, had been captured, demoted to a slave, and given to a soldier as a slave. He was now being exiled to Liaodong.
"This servant has some jewelry here. I beg the Duke to allow me to redeem my father and buy him a few acres of meager land to live out his old age."
Upon hearing her words, Li Qin also remembered that the unfortunate prince's corpse was still lying in Liaodong.
If it weren't for him, the original owner wouldn't have made up his mind to rebel, and I wouldn't be here now, ruling the capital and eyeing the Central Plains.
He can be considered the one who laid the first brick in his rebellion.
As for her father, Marquis Ningyuan Jiang Lianwu, Li Qin still remembered him.
After he was captured, thanks to his great memory restoration technique, he was one of the people who betrayed and revealed the most information about the capital.
He's a complete spineless coward and poses no threat whatsoever.
Logically speaking, he had contributed to the attack on the capital by providing intelligence, yet he was demoted to a slave. It seems that he had been negligent.
Then Li Qin waved his hand and said to Jiang Qingyue:
"Then bring your husband's body back for burial."
As for your father, Jiang Lianwu, take out your jewelry and have someone buy it back from that soldier.
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Jiang Qingyue immediately knelt down and bowed.
Because she had just gotten up, Jiang Qingyue was only wearing a robe. Li Qin looked at her figure as she knelt down.
I also straightened my pants to make myself more comfortable.
How about we postpone handling government affairs for an hour?
In the end, Li Qin shook his head, deciding that business was more important, and then turned to leave.
But Jiang Qingyue continued kneeling behind her:
"This servant has one more small request."
Upon hearing Jiang Qingyue's words, Li Qin immediately turned his head to look at her.
What are you doing?
One after another?
You should just focus on being a looter, why are you making so many requests?
But Jiang Qingyue knelt before Li Qin and said:
“My lord, I have another daughter who is not yet six years old. I request that she be transferred to my side so that I can personally teach her.”
Li Qin's initial displeasure vanished after hearing her words.
Personal instruction?
Li Qin walked up to Jiang Qingyue, who was kneeling before him, patted her head, and said:
"Okay, but you can teach her properly."
Li Qin even had a slight smile on his lips as he spoke.
Jiang Qingyue knelt on the ground, completely oblivious to the smile on Li Qin's lips.
She could only kowtow to Li Qin and say, "This servant thanks the Duke for his kindness."
Li Qin didn't wait for Jiang Qingyue to finish speaking before turning around and leaving the room.
I still have important things to take care of today.
When Li Qin arrived at his office, he immediately saw the desk piled high with official documents.
I knew it. Oh well, let's just keep dealing with it.
Li Qin reviewed today's report.
The first thing he read was the military newspaper.
After all, this is the most important thing for him right now.
Most of the areas he now controls have just been conquered, and the people's hearts are not yet with him.
He is now relying on the army to intimidate the people and maintain his rule.
Anything related to the military was a big deal to him.
The first thing Li Qin looked at was the military report that Li Xuanshang had given him.
According to his orders, Li Xuanshang was to report on the progress of the southward march daily.
Li Qin looked at the intelligence report he was receiving, and everything was still going very smoothly.
In various prefectures and counties, people would surrender as soon as they saw their banners.
He has already sent troops into Henan Province, and it is believed that it will not be long before he can take over all the land north of the old course of the Yellow River.
