Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

With the destruction of the main force of the Condor Empire, the army of the Great Xia Dynasty continued its cleansing operations on the grassland.

Wherever the army passed, it swept across the tribes, big and small, on the grassland like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The main combat forces of these tribes have basically joined the Divine Eagle Empire, and the rest are mostly ordinary people who are old, weak, sick and disabled. They can't rely on this to stop the mechanized troops and high-level monks of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In an instant, the entire grassland was engulfed in blood and gore. The wails of countless grassland herdsmen resounded through the world. Countless men became innocent souls under the butcher's knife, and the obedient women were taken in by the Great Xia Dynasty.

For these women, if they are willing to obey the Great Xia Dynasty, they will be assigned to bachelors of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whenever natural disasters or man-made disasters occur, young and strong men are most likely to survive, while the survival rate of the elderly, women and children is relatively low.

Due to successive natural and man-made disasters, the Great Xia Dynasty suffered from a serious surplus of young and strong men in the country.

It just so happened that the Great Xia Dynasty was in a state of disrepair and needed these single men to settle down as soon as possible. No matter which dynasty, if you want the country to be stable, the people must have houses, land, and families, which is the only way to make the country stable.

The Great Xia Dynasty did the same thing. It distributed the lands confiscated from the noble families to the people for cultivation and helped them to allocate new homes. Now the Great Xia Dynasty also gives them wives for free. Although they are shepherdesses from the northern grasslands, these single men do not have the bad habit of being picky. It is good to have a woman, so why would they be dissatisfied?

At the same time, as the Great Xia Dynasty continued to advance on the grassland, a large amount of land and grassland naturally became vacant. These single men who wanted to start a family were very willing to travel to the north, settle down on the grassland, and prepare to engage in animal husbandry in the future.

On the contrary, those men on the grassland were not so lucky. The Great Xia Dynasty did not need these diehards who refused to submit to the king.

For the sake of future generations of the dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty did not leave any future troubles and continued to carry out the massacre.

This move will benefit the present and future generations, ensuring that in the future there will be no more tragic incidents of grassland cavalry herding their horses southward to plunder in the Great Xia Dynasty.

It can be said that the entire process of the Great Xia Dynasty's conquest of the grassland was full of violence and blood, and the soul-calling banners also absorbed a full reserve of ghosts.

These grassland tribes, which have long trampled on the Central Plains dynasties, are now paying the price for their past actions.

They used their own death and destruction to prove the power of the new Great Xia Dynasty. When all the countries, big and small, in the Canggu Continent learned of their unparalleled military strength, they were all stunned and trembling in fear.

…………

Dali City!
When Su Jie led a part of the army back to the capital, the streets of Dali City were deserted. Countless people poured into the streets to welcome him and cheered for the army and their emperor.

And when Su Jie ordered the corpses of the patriarchs, Dharma Kings, and God Kings of the Condor Empire to be paraded through the streets for public display, the entire audience cheered.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The cheers were getting louder and louder. It could be said that most of these people had suffered at the hands of the Condor Empire, not to mention those who had fled from the North. They had lost their homes and lands because of the looting of the Condor Empire.

Even the local people of Dali City gnashed their teeth at the Condor Empire.

Because every time the Condor Empire went south to raid the valleys, the domestic grain prices would skyrocket. The anger caused by the damage to their own interests made people all over the world have no good feelings towards the Condor Empire.

As the Xingyuan Emperor who pacified the Condor Empire and achieved great feats by destroying an army of 300,000 alone, the people of Dali's admiration and faith in Su Jie soared at this moment. They felt that Su Jie was the sun of the world, whose benevolent light illuminated countless subjects and protected countless people in the world.

After the parade to show off his military power was over, Su Jie returned to the Fude Hall of the Imperial Palace and held a court meeting.

Naturally, all the officials who attended the court began to flatter Su Jie wildly, boasting about his wisdom and bravery, his expansion of territory, his virtues comparable to those of the Three Sovereigns and his achievements surpassing those of the Five Emperors.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhang Qingcang, the former chief of the Sky Patrol Department and now the deputy chief, stood up and said loudly, "I think that the current dynasty is just beginning and there is a lot to be done. In order to reassure the people, I ask Your Majesty to consider the affairs of the harem, establish a queen, take concubines, and give birth to a dragon fetus. This is the way to stabilize the country and ensure that the dynasty will last for thousands of years."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet. None of the officials expected Zhang Qingcang to make such a suggestion at this time.

But on second thought, as an emperor, Su Jie does not have an official queen, nor does he have three palaces and six courtyards. It is indeed rare for him to give birth to a prince or princess.

Many old officials of Guiling Palace who had followed Su Jie to conquer the world stood up at this time. For example, Taoist Qiu, who was the Grand Elder of Guiling Palace, had been Su Jie's master, and was now the Minister of Revenue, said:
"I think what Lord Zhang said is absolutely right. Your Majesty really needs to consider the affairs of the harem to reassure the world."

For those of them who have made great contributions to the cause of the dynasty, they may hope that the dynasty will be stable for thousands of years more than Su Jie does, so that they can continue to enjoy wealth and glory. This is human nature.

Although Emperor Dongxu lived for tens of thousands of years, there was no guarantee that accidents would not happen. Even a strong man like Emperor Tianwu died young.

Therefore, Emperor Su Jie was able to leave offspring. Even if something unexpected happened, it would not lead to a lack of successors, causing the court to collapse, the world to be in chaos, and war everywhere. They could support the new emperor to ascend the throne and pass on the throne.

This is also the reason why the emperor's family affairs were also the affairs of the world in every dynasty. Whenever a prince or princess was born, or a queen and a crown prince were established, it would attract the attention of the world.

Su Jie narrowed his eyes and saw what these officials were thinking at a glance. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen to him and the wealthy life he had just enjoyed after following the emperor would disappear into thin air.

"I advise you to select the virtuous without avoiding relatives. The current Chief Qin of the Patrol of the Celestial Beings is well-educated and well-mannered. He has a beauty that can eclipse the moon and shame the flowers. His cultivation and achievements are comparable to those of the Purple Palace. He can be a good match for Your Majesty."

Zhang Qingcang spoke again and recommended his apprentice Qin Yushang.

All the civil and military officials present stared at each other, thinking, Zhang Qingcang, you are so good, you actually want to become a royal relative.

Qin Yuchang, the person involved, was also attending the court. When she heard Zhang Qingcang's words, her face suddenly turned red and her ears turned red.

"Disciple, I can only help you up to this point."

Zhang Qingcang glanced at Qin Yushang and thought to himself.

He adopted Qin Yushang since she was a child. He was both Qin Yushang's teacher and father. He had long seen that Qin Yushang had a good impression of Su Jie. He did this not in order to become a royal relative, but because he really hoped that Qin Yushang could get a good marriage.

As for Su Jie, whether in terms of personal martial arts or character, although he comes from the devil's way, this cannot conceal the fact that he is a truly good emperor. Zhang Qingcang has nothing to worry about in entrusting Qin Yushang to him.

Su Jie shifted his gaze to Qin Yuchang, and seeing Qin Yuchang's embarrassment and shyness, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Qin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Qin Yuchang felt as if her cheeks were burning. As the head of the violent agency, the Sky Patrol, she had experienced countless battles, but at this moment she seemed at a loss, like a little girl.

“I…I I…”

Qin Yuchang was confused. Of course she had a good impression of Su Jie, but she felt embarrassed to say such things in front of everyone.

"It seems that Lord Qin has agreed. I will find an auspicious day to marry him. As for the matter of establishing a queen, I will make the final decision."

Su Jie made the decision for Qin Yushang. As the emperor of Daxia, it would be embarrassing for him not to take in a few concubines.

He fought for this country, so what's wrong with enjoying himself?

"I dare to offer my opinion. My daughter is very pretty and is waiting to be married. She is gentle and virtuous..."

Seeing Zhang Qingcang succeed in climbing the ladder, other ministers were also tempted and stood up to become royal relatives. "No need to say more, I have my own choices for concubines. Today's court meeting ends here and is adjourned."

Su Jie interrupted the ministers' recommendations and said that he would not accept just anyone.

With Su Jie's power and status, he wouldn't have to wait until now if he wanted a woman. He could have done it when he was working hard for his career in Zen Country. Being a bridegroom every night was just a matter of a word, let alone now.

Although Su Jie is also greedy for money and lustful, he knows how to control his desires, and is considered a true magic cultivator.

After the court meeting ended, other ministers left one after another, except Qin Yushang.

In the empty Fude Hall, only Su Jie and Qin Yushang were left.

When their eyes met, Qin Yuchang's eyes shifted away instinctively, not daring to look Su Jie in the face.

"What, am I scary?"

Su Jie stood up from the dragon chair and walked step by step to Qin Yuchang: "Or, Yuchang, you don't want to marry me."

The name changed from Qin Aiqing to Yuchang, which also showed Su Jie's attitude.

"No, no."

Qin Yuchang's pretty face flushed, and she finally looked up and made eye contact with Su Jie. Her nervousness and shyness formed a sharp contrast with her previous strong and arrogant appearance, which made Su Jie salivate.

"Woo!"

The next moment, Qin Yushang's delicate body softened, her red lips were blocked, and her waist was held by a pair of strong hands. She could only respond awkwardly.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Qin Yushang softened in Su Jie's arms, acting like a little woman, with the lingering blush still on her face.

Su Jie lifted Qin Yuchang's delicate chin and looked at her beautiful face: "Follow me from now on."

"Ok!"

Qin Yuchang hummed softly, as soft as a mosquito. She knew that Su Jie had more than one woman, but she was still willing.

After a moment, Qin Yuchang raised her head again and looked at Su Jie steadily: "Did you marry me just to stabilize the court?"

She knew that the Sky Patrol Department where she worked was very important. The current Sky Patrol Department was basically staffed by the former Dali Dynasty. If marrying her was to stabilize the Sky Patrol Department, a key institution and the court, and balance the forces of all parties, although Qin Yuchang knew in her heart that this was the overall situation, but...

Just as Qin Yuchang was thinking about it, Su Jie pinched Qin Yuchang's fair and beautiful face and said forcefully: "Why, in your eyes, do I need women to rule the country? Who in this world is richer than me, who is more powerful than me, or who is stronger than me? When I look for a woman, I never look at how high her status and background are, because no matter how high, it is not as high as mine."

Qin Yuchang's heart trembled, and a warm feeling swept through her body and mind. She realized that she had been getting stuck in a dead end.

With Su Jie's status and position, he doesn't need to cling to anyone to stabilize his position and rule. With Su Jie's unparalleled military force that can conquer the world, as long as Su Jie is alive, the Great Xia Dynasty will remain standing.

"I married you simply because I like you. Don't underestimate yourself. You are one of the three great beauties in the dynasty."

Su Jie spoke with a smile, causing Qin Yushang's pretty face to blush, but her love for Su Jie grew even stronger.

At this moment, in Qin Yushang's heart, Su Jie was already regarded as the only husband of her life.

…………

Because of Su Jie's concubine Qin Yuchang, this matter spread immediately like wildfire.

The emperor's romantic affairs have always been one of the hot topics of folk gossip. The two parties involved are the Xingyuan Emperor who had just founded the Great Xia Dynasty, expanded the territory, and dominated the world with military force; the other is Qin Yushang, who is known as one of the three beauties, a monk in Zifu, and the chief of the Xuntian Division.

The happy marriage of these two was naturally talked about by the people with great relish.

But not everyone is happy to see this marriage.

In Dali City, in a luxurious Grand View Garden, Ning Xinyue felt like the sky was falling when she heard the news. She gritted her teeth and her eyes were red.

"Why, Su Jie, that bastard, I was the first one here, how could he do this? No, I'm going to the palace to settle the score with him."

The more Ning Xinyue spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, like a bullied kitten.

"It's your own fault. Isn't it normal for an emperor to take concubines? The position of empress is vacant now. If you have the ability, you can become the empress. I support you, sister."

At the tea table next to them, Ning Yunying was drinking tea slowly and methodically, and gave Ning Xinyue a suggestion.

"Eh!"

Ning Xinyue blinked her eyes, quite interested, but then she thought of something and shook her head again and again like a frost-bitten eggplant.

"No, it won't work."

Ning Xinyue was a little discouraged and said that she couldn't do it.

Ning Yunying put down the teacup and asked, "Don't you like Su Jie? If you like him, then go and fight for him boldly."

"Su Jie's wedding dress ghost is so fierce. I can't beat her."

Ning Xinyue looked depressed. She had dealt with Han Ruyan before and knew how terrible she was.

Ning Yunying was speechless. Her sister was the typical one, both incompetent and playful.

"Ahhhh! I'm so mad at Su Jie, that bastard. I'm really angry. I'm going to ignore him."

Ning Xinyue puffed up her cheeks and seemed to mistake the rockery in front of her for Su Jie, and started punching and kicking it.

Ning Yunying rolled her eyes and complained, "Alright, alright, you're going to tear down my house. If you want to make trouble, go find Su Jie. His palace is big, you can tear it down as you like."

"Go ahead, do you think I don't dare?"

Ning Xinyue puffed her cheeks but didn't move a step.

Ning Yunying shook her head, knowing that her sister was being cowardly again. She only talked big and seemed to be bold in love and hate, but when it came to real fighting, she was extremely cowardly.
