Professional Ethics of a Concubine

“Not only did they not massacre the city, the messenger said that when the army arrived at a place, they would only rob some of the food from the nobles and wealthy families.

If a wealthy family has too much land, they will be forced to give most of it to the local people.

Moreover, the army will kill those notorious bullies and corrupt officials, so wherever they go, the people will line the streets to see them off..."

As the young official spoke, his face was extremely distorted, mainly because his faith in life had collapsed.

After listening to this, Lord Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh and even smiled.

"It seems that Xie Yuan does not want the people of Chu to suffer. He cares for the people, which is a benevolent and righteous act.

However, this is understandable. After all, he is leading the soldiers of our Chu State, so he has to behave himself!"

"Lord Feng, the military flag belongs to the Great Zhao, not our Chu! Wherever the army goes, they will announce that this is the city of the Great Zhao. Let's stop dreaming. Xie Yuan is leading the army to destroy the country!"

I couldn't stand it any longer and threw the information in the faces of all the gentlemen, letting them all take a good look at the truth!

Lord Feng and his companions got the intelligence and gathered together to look at it. After reading it, everyone had an interesting expression on their faces.

"What should we do? What should we do? Even if reinforcements from Nanzhao come, we won't be able to stop them!"

"Don't forget that there are still many lackeys of Xie Yuan in the court. When they see this news, they will probably celebrate!"

Everyone sighed and looked at their backbone, Lord Feng.

What can Lord Feng do? He said after a long pause,

"Why don't you go home and think about it. When the Great Zhao army arrives in Shangjing City, will you surrender or commit suicide?!"

Others,...

-

It was indeed as they said, Xie Wenyuan's team, Lord Lu and others also received similar information one after another.

After reading it, they all began to flatter crazily, fearing that their flattery would not be as good as others and that the official positions they would be given would not be high enough.

"Our great general is truly a wise leader!"

"It is a great honor to meet such a wise leader! We must devote ourselves to him until our death and share his worries!"

"The wise leader led a large army into the city, and the people lined the streets to welcome him. This shows that the people's hearts are with the wise leader, and the regime is stable!"

…………

A group of people finished clapping their hands in praise, and then someone said,

"We still have to keep some of the Lord's affairs secret from His Majesty. But that doesn't mean we have to keep it secret. We have to be flexible."

What is flexibility? It's just cheating.

That day, Lord Lu entered the palace and requested to meet the Emperor, the King of Wei.

"Your Majesty, within half a month, the general will lead the army to Shangjing. I have already sent a letter to the general, conveying the emperor's intentions to him.

After receiving the letter, the general will be overjoyed and speed up his march, looking forward to returning to Shangjing to see the emperor as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the King of Wei grinned happily and shouted "good" several times.

He wanted to get up but felt dizzy again, so he could only continue lying down, looking annoyed and said,

"Ever since A Yuan passed away, and his cousin who was a miracle doctor also passed away, I haven't felt well, either dizzy or weak.

The imperial doctors in this palace only make me drink bitter medicine, but it is useless. They are all a bunch of rubbish!"

The King of Wei missed the time when Xie Wenyuan and Feng Yuxi were around more and more, simply because they made him enjoy himself comfortably.

The King of Wei had been controlled by Xie Wenyuan for two years and had become a complete waste who only knew how to enjoy himself and had no ability to think.

His psychological dependence on Xie Wenyuan had reached a perverted level.

The fact that he was willing to give up half of the throne was enough to prove that the spiritual enjoyment and satisfaction that Xie Wenyuan brought him was the same as being the emperor, or even more so.

You said that the King of Wei was "extremely in love" with Xie Wenyuan, which is fine, he was very aware of being a puppet.

-

Half a month later, the Zhao army arrived outside Shangjing City very smoothly.

When they were ten miles away from the city gate, Xie Wenyuan ordered the army to stop and set up camp, because the food he had hidden was nearby.

Unless there are any major accidents, this place will become a temporary base for the army.

Xie Wenyuan sent scouts to investigate the situation at the city gate to see how many troops were guarding the city.

Half an hour later, the scout came back with a confused look on his face, and replied cautiously and confusedly,

"General, there are no soldiers guarding the city gate in front, and people can enter and exit freely. It seems to be no different from usual.

I only explored the north gate and did not dare to enter the city. The information I got was limited. Please allow me to explore further."

When Deputy General Lei and the others heard this, their expressions became serious, and some even speculated,

"They are not trying to lure the enemy into the city, are they? They left the city gates unguarded, hoping to lure us into the city and kill us!"

"Yes, it's very likely! If there are a large number of archers ambushing in the city, if we rush in rashly, it will also cause heavy casualties. General, we must be on guard!"

After hearing these analyses, the King of England couldn't help but frown and became alert.

Xie Wenyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart, bullshit of luring the enemy deep into our territory!

Judging from the King of Wei's current character and the people he left behind as troublemakers, the court is bound to be in chaos.

No one can stand up and take responsibility, so no one cares!

Xie Wenyuan was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he left a message for the army to rest and went to find Hu Xiaoqi.

Although Xie Wenyuan believed in his own judgment, he still asked Hu Xiaoqi to walk around the city to see if there was any ambush.

Hu Xiaoqi received the task and went there excitedly.

The King of Qi felt bored, because the battle was really boring, so he had to find something to do himself, so he followed them.

Xie Wenyuan didn't bother with them. Anyway, with their martial arts skills, if they wanted to escape, hundreds of people wouldn't be able to stop them.

"General, should we send more people to investigate the city?" asked the King of England.

"No need." Xie Wenyuan waved his hand.

"The general has spies in the city. We might as well wait a while. When those spies learn that the army has arrived outside the city, they will definitely send a message."

Zheng Qinghe spoke.

Xie Wenyuan was indeed waiting for those people to send him a message.

An hour later, no letter came, but a lot of people came!

"My Lord! We have finally got you here!"

Lu Hai, also known as Lord Lu, knelt on the ground in a very exaggerated manner when he saw Xie Wenyuan, and demonstrated what it meant to miss your lover so much, no, what it meant to be loyal.

The lord has called out.

Xie Wenyuan,...

Why didn’t I know before that you, old man, are so shameless and dramatic!

The others also knelt down, vying with each other to express their loyalty, fearing that they would be left behind.

"My lord, we have taken control of the government of Chu. The officials of Chu know that the situation is hopeless, and no one dares to resist!"

"My lord, Old Man Feng and his men have sent people to Nanzhao for help. There may be Nanzhao troops coming to the capital. We must be prepared!"

"My Lord, the Emperor misses you day and night and hopes you will come back as soon as possible..." Before the man could finish his words, he was kicked by Xie Wenyuan.

"If you can't speak, just shut up!"

"My Lord, I am wronged. I meant to say that the Emperor is looking forward to your return to take over the throne. I really have no other intentions!"

The man tried to explain himself foolishly, but got kicked again when he asked for a hammer.

Then he became completely honest.

Everyone else shut up too, knowing that the more they spoke the more mistakes they made, and that just getting the attitude right was enough.

The expressions of the King of England and others were very interesting. They looked at the courtiers of Chu as if they were idiots, with deep contempt and disappointment.

That's it?

It seems that they don't even need to fight. In another 20 to 30 years, a peasant uprising will break out within the State of Chu.

In fact, the original Emperor of Chu and King of Wei could not be said to be particularly incompetent. Although there were serious factional struggles and corruption in the court, there were also many people who were capable.

But when Xie Wenyuan took action, he poisoned many royal family members and made another one stupid.

He then stirred up trouble in the imperial court, removed all those who were in charge, and placed his own people in the court, thus paralyzing most of the political system of the Chu State.

Now that he has brought an army of 80,000 to destroy the country, it will be as easy as taking something from a bag.

This is because the preliminary work is done well, and the fruits can be harvested directly in the later stage.

After listening to what Lu Hai and others said, Xie Wenyuan was sure that the entire Shangjing City was in ruins, just waiting for him to take over with his army.

What are you waiting for?

Enter the city!

Xie Wenyuan left behind more than half of the soldiers to continue setting up camp and taking care of logistics and supplies. The rest of the cavalry and infantry followed him into the city to take over the palace and the four city gates.

King Ying and others also entered the city with Xie Wenyuan.

When they arrived at the city gate, they met Hu Xiaoqi and King Qi who were returning from exploring the way.

"Brother, there is no ambush in the city. I even went to various government offices to check. Guess what?

Those officials are either sleeping, playing cards or gambling, they are not doing their jobs!"

Hu Xiaoqi said with disdain on his face,

"Given the current atmosphere in the Chu officialdom and the current state of its officials, the destruction of the country is inevitable!"

Lu Hai and the others were all blushing after being scolded, and they were still ashamed because of the little shame they had left.

"I also saw many wealthy families packing up their belongings and loading their cars, preparing to flee the city."

Hu Xiaoqi said again.

Xie Wenyuan nodded, then looked at the King of Qi and asked him,

"What about you? Why do you smell like blood? Who did you fight with?"

"When you see a few beasts abusing a boy, kill them," said the King of Qi.

"The custom of playing with young prostitutes in the Chu State really needs to be severely rectified." Xie Wenyuan frowned.

"He deserves to die!" the King of Qi said coldly, his face full of disgust.

Lu Hai and the others couldn't help but tremble, looking at King Qi with fear, afraid that he would also attack them with a sword.

Because they would also play with young men, but they wouldn't touch boys.

"Fuck! That's disgusting!" Hu Xiaoqi asked the King of Qi, "Where did you see that? I want to kill a few too."

"Okay, let's go to the palace first!" Xie Wenyuan pulled the strayed track back.

“These issues will be dealt with later.”

-

royal palace.

The King of Wei received the news of the army entering the city half an hour in advance. He quickly got up from the dragon bed and asked the eunuchs to help him dress and wash.

"I will not wear the dragon robe, but my usual clothes." The King of Wei told the eunuch.

"Take that dark green brocade robe for example. A Yuan said that I look more energetic in dark green."

Eunuch: "...Yes."
