Zhao Rui frowned slightly and turned to look at the beauties.
These concubines and maidens are all delicate and weak, and some of them are as skinny as children. If they were to be released, they might not survive for a few days.
The so-called death of parents is just a reason. After living in the palace for so many years, apart from dancing, embroidery, and pleasing the king, I am afraid that I can't do anything else!
Moreover, there are so many beauties in the Suzhou Palace, so how to arrange them is really a big problem.
"Don't cry!" Zhao Rui suddenly shouted: "You guys pack up, follow the army to Luo City, and enter the Dashang Palace!"
All the beauties stopped crying immediately.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Jing Cui's understanding of human nature is still a bit poor, and she doesn't understand what these beautiful court ladies want.
"Your Highness!" Ziyun trotted in from outside the palace: "Jiang Wu battle report, Lu Guogong led his troops to attack Qilian City, Liang Guogong defeated Jiang Wu Zuo Chegong Jiang Yu, and his troops entered Lintong! General Li Yuan marched to Shangyuan, directly to Jiang Wu Guodu!”
Zhao Rui was slightly shocked. Whether he first asked Zhou Huan to lead the troops or later ordered Liang Zhang and Li Yuan to go north, the purpose was to contain Jiang Wu.
Who would have thought that the three of them would swallow up most of Jiang Wu's country and be about to destroy it.
"In this way, I, the great merchant, will soon dominate the world!" Zhao Rui said with excitement in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I would like to confer General Li Yuan on the title of Duke of Wu!"
Everyone present knelt down to congratulate him, especially Jing Cui. They did not expect that Zhao Rui could canonize Li Yuan.
The class division in Nanchu is extremely serious. Anyone who cannot be associated with the nobility will be a slave for the rest of his life.
Even if Li Yuan is such a genius, he is only a general at most and cannot enter the real high-level leadership of Nanchu.
But when he arrived at Dashang, he was made the Duke of the country so quickly!
In the past, Jing Cui didn't believe that Dashang really positioned talents based on ability, but now he really believes it.
Zhao Rui breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the Baiyue throne.
"Baiyue has been destroyed. There is no need for us to gather so many troops here. Send the order and leave a part of the army to appease the local people, while the rest return to Luo City!"
Jing Cui was a little confused: "Your Highness, just leaving a pacifying force may not be enough! What if the local people rebel..."
"Who is willing to rebel if they can have enough to eat and live and work in peace and contentment?" Zhao Rui said with a confident smile on his face: "Besides, my officials from Dashang will arrive to take over the place soon, so there is no need to worry!"
Jing Cui's understanding was somewhat subverted. If the cities he captured before were not heavily guarded, the local people would easily rebel.
But in Zhao Rui's opinion, these things seemed to be nothing serious.
"Your Highness!" Ziyun trotted up to Zhao Rui with a pile of battle reports: "General Qu Dang wiped out Bolu's army in the old land of Chen and Song Dynasty, Song Qingcheng. Bolu committed suicide when the city was broken. General Qu Dang led His body is on the way to Suzhou!"
Zhao Rui was not surprised at all, just a little pity.
Bolu is a famous general in the world, and he also bears the title of the grandson of Bowu. It is indeed not worth it for such a person to sacrifice his life for a dissolute and extravagant king!
"Good! He is indeed the son of the old general Qu Bei!" Zhao Rui suppressed the regret in his heart: "Your Majesty, I would like to confer Qu Dang as the Duke of Song Dynasty!"
Jing Cui's eyes flashed with horror again, fearing that all of Nan Chu's worthy generals would be made Dukes of the State.
Before he could react, Zhao Rui had already led his guards out of the hall.
The people of Gusu City spontaneously stood by the streets, and even tried to persuade Zhao Rui to stay and preside over the affairs of the Baiyue Dynasty.
Zhao Rui kept smiling all the way but said nothing. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until he left the city gate.
From this point of view, the King of Baiyue was really guilty, and no one in the country even missed the Baiyue court.
