Emperor Gaozu of Liang was enjoying a massage from one of his concubines, but he showed a moment of hesitation in his response.
"The treasury of Luoyang... I've entrusted it to Lord Qin."
The concubine petulantly said, "Your Majesty! You are the emperor above all, and Lord Qin is your son. He conquered Luoyang ultimately for your glory. Can't you even distribute a bit of the treasures and wealth?"
"Those treasures and wealth should naturally be part of Da Liang's treasury. Is it too much to ask for Your Majesty to reward your servant with just a tiny portion of these treasures?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Gaozu of Liang naturally nodded, "What are you saying, my beloved? I am the emperor, owner of the four seas; of course I can reward you these treasures.
"It's settled then, you and Princess Consort Zhang can go together to Luoyang and choose some treasures, wealth, and lands from the treasury."
