Song Wan kicked the old emperor twice on the back and said fiercely, "Behave yourself!"
The old emperor was silenced, but he did not give up struggling. He turned half of his body with great effort and looked in a certain direction with bloodshot eyes.
Only then did the beautiful woman see the face of the man on the ground clearly.
"You, you actually caught him?" The beautiful woman looked at the person struggling on the ground in disbelief.
"Yes, now the entire Daye Palace is in my hands." Song Wan raised her chin. "Since you and the old bald man are relatives, I can let you out of the palace unconditionally."
She charges money for other concubines.
"Leave the palace?" the beautiful woman murmured.
"That's right. From now on, there will no longer be an Emperor of Daye, and of course there will no longer be any Empress or Imperial Concubine." Song Wan said to her.
"Uncle?" The beautiful woman turned her head, obviously not believing what she heard.
Master Xuanyi nodded slightly at her, "Amitabha."
"Princess, what about him..." The beautiful woman raised her hand and pointed at the old emperor on the ground and asked, "What will you do with him?"
Song Wan could clearly hear the disgust and hatred for the old emperor in her tone, so she said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but if you have any good ideas, please tell me."
"Can you please let me deal with him?" The beautiful woman knew that her request was a bit excessive, but she couldn't bear to remain indifferent while her enemy fell in front of her.
Song Wan was not completely clueless. She could guess from what she had just said that the old emperor had probably robbed a married woman and killed her husband.
He is so vicious, even death is too easy for him.
"Okay, I can give the old emperor to you, but you have to return it to us after he dies." Song Wan had not forgotten the soldiers who were fighting hard outside.
If the old emperor's body is hung outside, many soldiers can be saved from death.
"Thank you, Princess." The beautiful woman just heard Master Xuanyi call her Princess, so she followed suit.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. I can't always call you Guanzhen Mother." Song Wan thought for a moment and said.
"Mother Guan Zhen?" the beautiful woman murmured softly. To be honest, she somewhat liked this name, but she still said her own name. "My surname is Li, my name is Yun Niang, and my husband is Lin Shaocheng, a former Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy."
Song Wan's eyes widened slightly. He didn't expect that the beautiful woman's husband was an official. So the old emperor was shameless to steal his minister's wife and forcibly bring her into the harem.
The beautiful woman had nothing to hide. She said self-deprecatingly, "I often wonder if our family could stay together forever if I didn't have this face."
Without this face, her husband would not have died.
"How can you say that!" Song Wan frowned, denying her words, "You have such a natural appearance, it's a gift from your parents. Beauty is innocent. The wicked do evil, but they don't care whether you are beautiful or ugly."
"Your enemy is the old emperor, not yourself."
It was the first time that Li Yunniang heard someone say this to her.
Li Yunniang felt as if the heavy weight on her heart had suddenly lightened. She raised her eyes and said, "Princess, I understand."
"I understand."
"But Princess, can I ask you for a favor?" Li Yunniang looked at the sleeping child in her arms, "Can I take this child with me?"
"Aren't you afraid that when he grows up, he'll know that you were the one who killed his father?" Song Wan was puzzled.
Li Yunniang smiled bitterly, "He is not actually my biological child. When the old emperor abducted me into the palace, my personal maidservant at the time also entered the palace with me."
"She saved me from a disaster, so naturally I have to help her raise her son and take care of him until he grows up."
In Li Yunniang's mind, this child has nothing to do with the old emperor.
Song Wan didn't ask any more questions. She had no objection. "Okay."
Li Yunniang, with tears in her eyes, bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your help."
Li Yunniang told me that there were many other women in the harem who were abducted into the palace by the old emperor just like her.
Among these people, there were unmarried girls from ordinary families, and there were also newly married women who were favored by the old emperor who came out of the palace incognito. What's worse, some of them already had children of their own.
The old emperor arrested all those he liked, regardless of their background, and brought them into the palace.
When Song Wan heard this, she couldn't help but kick the dying old emperor a few more times, and kept calling him a beast.
For any concubine who voluntarily entered the palace, Song Wan only left two thousand taels of silver notes for each of them. The rest, except for gold bars and silver, would be added to A Yu's treasury in the future.
Each of the women who were abducted into the palace was given 5,000 taels of silver notes, a large bag of silver, and some jewelry.
Finally, there were those ministers who were tricked into the palace by the old emperor. Song Wan was not polite and told them directly that the price for each head was 10,000 taels.
Being able to save their lives was a blessing in disguise for them, so how could they dare to have any opinions? They kowtowed repeatedly and said that they would go back to get the silver.
So Song Wan asked Song Qi to release the wives of these men and go back to get the money. She was worried about these scheming men.
"Remember, I only want silver and gold bars. Silver notes don't count," Song Wan said to the dozen or so women, "and jewelry doesn't count either."
When these ladies arrived, their heads were covered with pearl hairpins and their clothes were gorgeous. After being frightened for most of the night, their faces, hair and clothes were all stained with blood of unknown origin.
They didn't care about anything else and nodded hurriedly, "I understand."
It's great to be able to save your life.
The imperial city was in chaos, and the Chen royal family was completely killed by the old emperor. This news soon spread throughout the entire Yejing city.
General Qin, who had been lying in ambush outside the city, led hundreds of thousands of Dai Viet soldiers and immediately attacked the city after seeing the signal smoke.
Qin Che led Niu Tiedan's nearly 10,000 troops and forced their way in through the weak west gate, heading straight for the imperial city, where they fought with tens of thousands of death warriors left behind by the old emperor.
The troops on both sides cooperated internally and externally and soon took control of the entire city of Yejing.
The common people and wealthy businessmen in the imperial city were in a panic, fearing that these Dai Viet soldiers would break into their homes like robbers and kill and loot.
Many of them had heard that the Dai Viet soldiers did not take a single penny from the civilians when they attacked the city, but that was just hearsay.
In fact, what they could not have imagined was that Dai Viet actually went all the way west, captured one city after another, and finally annexed the entire Daye.
Before last night, they were still fantasizing that the soldiers of Daye would be able to fight back, catch the enemy off guard, and then regain lost territory bit by bit.
The captured Yejing City looked completely different from the previous few days. The streets were deserted and there was not a single person in sight.
General Qin ordered his men to strictly guard all exits of the city and not allow anyone to escape.
He led a group of people into the Daye Palace.
After sending away the women in the harem and receiving dozens of head fees, Song Wan went straight to the old emperor's national treasury and private treasury.
Before coming in, she hadn't expected that there was so much gold and silver in the old emperor's national treasury and private treasury, and the sacks she brought were definitely not enough to hold them.
"I'll ask Gu Wu to find some more sacks." Gu Yan couldn't help but smile when she saw her puffed cheeks and troubled look.
"Forget it!" Song Wan patted the bags on his waist, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "Let's leave these to A Yu. He still has many soldiers to support, and now there are a whole country of people. I think it will be difficult to support them all."
So when General Qin entered the palace, he saw that several of them had two large bags on their waists, which were bulging with gold. When Song Qi walked past him, the mouth of one of the sacks suddenly opened, and a piece of golden gold fell out of it.
General Qin, who had been worried all night, said: "..."
It would be fine if the people around the princess had two sacks of gold hanging around their waists, but how come even Gu Yanji, a general, had two sacks of gold hanging around his waist?
Those who didn’t know would think they were bandits from somewhere.
Gu Yan hurriedly curled up his hand, put it under his nose, coughed to ease the embarrassment, and said, "General Qin, you should have seen the body of Emperor Daye."
General Qin nodded and said, "If it weren't for the corpse of Emperor Daye, we wouldn't have been able to capture Yejing so quickly."
As soon as the news of the old emperor's death spread throughout Yejing, the morale of the soldiers in Daye immediately declined.
Otherwise, with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how could they have captured the Daye Imperial City so easily?
"Since you're all here, I'll leave the rest to you." Song Wan came out, four sacks of gold tied around her waist. "Gu Yan is in a hurry, let's go."
"Where are you going?" General Qin asked subconsciously.
Song Wan rubbed her stomach and replied as a matter of course, "We've been moving gold for so long, it's time to have breakfast."
General Qin: "..."
After Song Wan and his group left the palace, they met Master Xuanyi, Li Yunniang, and the baby she had brought out of the palace who were waiting outside the palace.
"I thought you guys were gone."
"Amitabha." Master Xuanyi nodded.
Song Wan ran over. She hadn't paid much attention at night, so she had no idea what the baby looked like.
"A bit thin." After Song Wan's careful assessment, he called Song Qi over and took out a large piece of gold from his sack and placed it in the baby's hand. "Here, remember to buy some meat."
The baby was less than two years old, couldn't stand steadily, and couldn't understand what Song Wan said.
He held the big gold nugget in his not-so-flesh hands, his eyes confused.
Li Yunniang pushed him and said, "Zhang'er, why don't you thank the princess quickly?"
"Thank you, sister..."
Song Wan pinched his cheek and said, "Come on! I'll take you to find your little bald brother."
After completely taking over the city of Yejing, they registered new household registrations for the people in the city based on their previous experience in capturing cities.
From then on, there was no longer any Daye Dynasty in this world.
Yejing is not as good as the cities captured before. After all, it is the old emperor of Daye.
The army stayed here for nearly two months, and only decided to return to the capital after completely eliminating the remaining rebels.
Gu Yanji remembered that when the urgent news from the border was transmitted to the capital, A Yu had just ascended the throne. Now it has been almost two years.
Dai Viet unified the world, and the small tribes in the east were nothing to be feared.
A peaceful and prosperous world is just around the corner.
When the army returned to the capital, Yejing City was officially changed to Youcheng, and the former Daye Palace was completely blocked.
The army returning to the court was huge and it took them nearly five months to march, from late spring to early autumn, before they finally arrived at the capital of Dai Viet.
Li Yu canceled the morning court session one day and went to the city with his ministers to welcome him in person.
