Chapter 435: Newcomer Enters the Palace
Zhao Hua met Concubine Ying's suspicious look and said slowly:
"The Hu tribe has a large number of troops and the Hu army is loyal to the Hu tribe. They will never surrender to the Qi Dynasty. I remember that when General Ning conquered the Hu tribe, he persuaded the Hu army to surrender, but tens of thousands of Hu soldiers would rather die than obey. This stopped the Qi Dynasty from conquering the Hu army.
So you have to understand that what the emperor wants is not the rich materials of the Hu tribe, but the military power in your father's hands, which cannot be shaken by anyone."
Concubine Ying was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, the Queen wants me to persuade my father to hand over the military power to Qi Chao?"
She shook her head repeatedly, "No! The military power is in my father's hands, and the Hu tribe is already shaky. If I hand over the military power, won't everyone in the Hu tribe be in danger?"
Zhao Hua said, "I am not asking your father to hand over his military power, but to let him lead the Hu army into the Qi Dynasty. I will ask the emperor to give him a military commander title. In this way, the Hu army will become part of the Qi army, and the Hu tribe will naturally become part of the Qi Dynasty. How can the emperor treat the Hu tribe harshly? In addition, your father will be an official in the capital, and you and your daughter can see each other often, which can also ease your longing for your family."
This method sounds like a win-win solution, but allowing Ada Khan to serve as an official in the court would be equivalent to making the Hu tribe a complete vassal state of the Qi Dynasty. After three generations, I am afraid that this country will be assimilated and cease to exist.
Ying Fei thought for a moment and refused to agree.
"No! If what the Queen said is true, then the Hu tribe will become a vassal of the Qi Dynasty. In the future, there will be no Hu tribe in the world, and our ancestors will not be able to keep their country. What's the difference between this and asking us to sell out our country for fame and fortune? We, the men of the Hu tribe, are all strong-willed and will never do such a thing!"
"You are wrong." Zhao Hua interrupted her in a firm voice, "It's not about seeking glory, it's about seeking survival. You said it yourself, now the people of the Hu tribe are starving and starving everywhere. Think about it carefully, is integrity really that important in the face of human life? Or do you think that if all the people die, your ancestors' country can be preserved?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Ying stood there in a daze, not replying for a long time.
Since learning about the recent situation of her motherland, Concubine Ying has often shed tears, feeling heartbroken for the innocent people who died tragically.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Hubu Khan and a goddess loved by all the people.
I still remember the scene when the people saw her off when she entered the palace.
At that time, everyone had a smile on their face, thinking that the goddess had entered the palace as a concubine, and that everyone's life would be better and better in the future.
But now......
Most of those who saw her off along the long street are probably no longer with us...
Thinking of this, Concubine Ying's eyes turned red.
She turned away, not wanting Zhaohua to see her pain, and said lightly,
"Thank you, Queen. I will consider your words carefully after I return to the palace. I will take my leave now."
She walked very fast, almost in a flash, and her figure disappeared around the corner.
When Xiao Fuzi escorted Zhaohua back to the phoenix sedan chair, he asked in confusion:
"Why did your Majesty persuade Concubine Ying to hand over the military power of the Hu tribe? This matter has nothing to do with us."
"How can it be considered unrelated? The lives of the people of the Hu tribe are also lives. The emperor can commit such a sin, but I cannot stand it. Besides, I am not doing this just for Concubine Ying's sake."
Zhao Hua looked back at Xiao Fuzi and raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you think the Hu army will do next if they submit to Qi Dynasty and the Hu tribe becomes a vassal of Qi Dynasty?"
Xiao Fuzi thought for a while, then shook his head blankly.
Zhao Hua said, "After the emperor has tasted the sweetness, he will think of extending his hand to the Mongolian army, Zhuyin's army, and even the army of other countries. The Hu tribe is now desperate, and handing over the military power and relying on the Qi Dynasty is the only way to survive. But the current situation of other tribes is different from that of the Hu tribe. It may be more difficult to ask them to hand over their military power than to take their lives."
Xiao Fuzi said, "If the Queen can think of these things, the Emperor can certainly think of them too. Who knows, maybe he won't be so eager to take action against other tribes and countries?"
Zhao Hua smiled, "Whether he takes action or not, the outcome will be the same. You said it all, what I can think of, what the emperor can think of, how can the countries and departments involved not think of it? As long as they have such an idea, they will prepare for it. If someone helps them to unite, then the emperor will have a headache."
She waved the corner of her phoenix robe, and sharp stars flashed in her eyes.
"I must give him a headache, so he has no time to find trouble, but to find faults with the people around him."

Three days later, the six palaces held a grand ceremony to confer titles on the emperor.
In the Jin Dynasty, Concubine Chen was called Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shun was called Concubine Shun, Concubine Ru was called Concubine Ru, Concubine He was called Concubine He, Concubine Li was called Concubine Li, and Concubine Kang was called Concubine Kang.
The palace celebrations are over.
The next day, Xinxiu entered the palace and went to Fengluan Palace to pay his respects to Zhaohua.
After the newcomers finished their greetings one by one, Zhao Hua first smiled and said:
"After entering the palace, we are all serving the emperor, and we are all sisters. If you encounter any difficulties in your daily life, you can tell me, and I am willing to help you solve your problems."
At this point, she suddenly straightened her expression and spoke in a serious tone.
"There is just one thing. I hope you won't make the wrong decision just to win my favor. If anyone is unruly in the future, there will be no chance for him to reform under my throne. If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment, or be demoted or banished to the cold palace. No one can plead for you. Do you understand?"
All the concubines said in unison: "We will follow the Queen's instructions and stay within our proper place and maintain harmony in the harem in the future."
After paying their respects, the rookies returned to their respective palaces.
Ru Ge lived with Rong Yue in Zhuixia Palace, so the two of them returned together.
On the way, Ru Ge didn't say anything, just followed Rong Yue like a silent person.
It was not until she entered the palace that Ru Ge saw that the entire courtyard was in full bloom with angelica flowers, stretching out in lavender color, a rare sight in the palace.
Spirit of the valley is Xiao Jingyan's favorite flower.
It is also the embellishment on the heart-shaped knot.
Ru Ge couldn't help but ask, "Does Concubine Shun also like Lingxiangcao?"
Rong Yue glanced at the lavender and said calmly, "It's just that the color looks bright but not gaudy, so I planted it randomly."
After that, he pointed to the East Side Hall and said, "I have already ordered people to clean up the East Side Hall. You can go and take a look to see if there is anything you are not satisfied with."
Ruge knelt down and bowed to Rongyue.
"Empress Shunfei took the trouble to arrange this. I am deeply grateful and dare not complain."
Rong Yue nodded slightly at her and went back to the main hall.
