548 Don't kill the palace maids and eunuchs
On the day the northern capital was broken, Xu Yue led the troops into the city, and at a glance saw the young woman wearing silver light armor with a sword in her hand on the empty, messy and dirty street.
Xu Yue raised her hand to stop the army behind her that was about to rush in, only afraid of deception, looked at the female general in front of her with a resolute face, and asked cautiously:
"Who are you?"
The woman replied, "Gongsun Baoyue! ”
"You're the Queen of the North?" Xu Yue raised her eyebrows, Zhao Yuanji ran away, why did he leave the queen behind?
Seemingly disliked the title of Beihou, Gongsun Baoyue frowned and repeated:
"I'm the eldest lady of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Baoyue!"
Xu Yue asked in surprise: "Zhao Yuanji and you are reconciled?" ”
If this is the case, then it is not difficult to explain why Gongsun Baoyue is the only one left in this capital.
Gongsun Baoyue clenched the sword in her hand and did not answer Xu Yue's question, because in her heart, she had already given Zhao Yuanji a break!
The delicate black eyebrows were raised, and Xu Yue fell down from above, "You are Xu Yue?" ”
Xu Yue bowed.
"I'll kill you!!"
Gongsun Baoyue rushed over without warning, and the thin sword in his hand slashed a silver cold light in the air, showing his murderous aura.
The cold air was approaching, Xu Yue's eyelids didn't droop, and she watched Gongsun Baoyue rush over coldly, and was quickly slapped on the cold hard stone floor by Xu Dalang who fell from the sky!
Those scenes of being moved by the other party's integrity, retreating left and right, going into battle in person, and then being carelessly killed by the enemy, could not have happened to the Xu family.
"Tie it up!" Xu Yue ordered in a deep voice, only glanced at Gongsun Baoyue's unbelievable resentful face, then withdrew his gaze, led the army, and slaughtered into the North Palace.
It is no surprise that there is no longer Zhao Yuanji in this new palace.
Long before entering the city, Xu Yue knew the news of Zhao Yuanji and the others fleeing in panic from Wang Pingping in the sky, she had already sent people to chase her, as for whether she could catch up, it depended on whether Zhao Yuanji could continue to maintain good luck.
Xu Jiajun rushed into the palace gate, and the palace maids and eunuchs who had no time to escape were so frightened that they turned around and ran.
The officials were in a hurry to hug the Northern Emperor, where else could they rely on the emperor? It's just that he barely took away two close eunuchs.
The rest of the palace people are either scattered around the North Palace to hide, or take advantage of the chaos to drill dog holes and hide in residential areas.
However, what all the palace people didn't expect was that Xu Jiajun, who rushed into the palace city, actually took out a loudspeaker and stood in the main hall of the North Palace and shouted:
"All the palace maids and eunuchs quickly gathered in the main hall, the leader is gracious, and all the palace maids and eunuchs are all released from the city, from now on, there will be no eunuchs in this world who are against nature!"
The loudspeaker amplified the sound very powerfully, and Xu Jiajun's voice spread throughout the entire North Palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids who were busy running for their lives were all stunned, unable to tell whether this was true or just a trick to coax them out.
There is the deeds of General He Da, the old capital of Luoyang, who killed the ten permanent servants and did not leave a single eunuch in front, and the first reaction of the eunuchs in the North Palace after learning that the Xu family army entered the city was - these rebels against the court hated the eunuchs to the core!
However, the big horn was coming over and over again the news that Xu Jiajun would not kill the palace maids and eunuchs, and the eunuchs hiding behind the palace gate looked at each other, revealing hesitant eyes.
"Huh!" With a sound, a group of Xu Jiajun appeared in front of the eunuchs at some point.
Xu Jiajun glanced up and down at the clothes of the eunuchs, as if confirming their identities, and then scolded impatiently:
"Can't you hear what's being shouted from above? Meet in the main hall! ”
The eunuchs tensed their bodies, and they were almost so frightened by this roar that they knelt down and begged the good man to spare their lives.
However, as soon as his knees were bent and before he knelt down, he heard these words of the Xu family's army, and the eunuchs were shocked.
Does Xu Jiajun really not kill eunuchs?
The soldiers of the Xu family, who were impatient to shout before, also seemed to feel that they had a bad attitude, so they slowed down their tone and reminded again:
"Come to the main hall to gather, the leader knows that it is not his wish for you to become eunuchs, the Northern Emperor lost this huge capital and fled alone, and sooner or later he will be punished!"
After saying this, the soldiers of the Xu family army squeezed out a self-righteous smile at them, and then turned around and took the other soldiers and continued to dig out the palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding in various corners.
Not long after, the chief eunuch was taken to the main hall by the soldiers of the Xu family.
Xu Yue asked, "How many palace maids and eunuchs are left in the palace?" Is there a roster? ”
The chief eunuch knew that the woman in front of him should be a female bandit in the Xu family's army...... Oh no, it's the female chief!
Knowing that the woman in front of him was the leader of the Xu family's army, the chief eunuch raised his hand high and bowed deeply:
"Slave maid to meet the chief!"
"Our Xu Jiajun can't do this kind of courtesy."
As soon as Xu Yue said a word, the soldier next to him immediately dragged the chief eunuch up and handed him a warning look.
The chief eunuch's face turned pale, and he raised his hand to slap himself in the mouth.
The soldier was a young and strong man from a peasant family, who had never been to the palace, and he did not know that there was such a special existence as a eunuch in the palace.
Seeing that this beardless young eunuch was about to slap himself because of a warning from himself, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped him and reminded him in a low voice:
"If the leader asks you, just say it."
Seeing that the chief eunuch was stunned and looked at him at a loss, the soldier urged: "Say! ”
The chief eunuch tilted his head slightly, as if asking the soldiers: Just say it?
The soldier was speechless and nodded vigorously, yes!
Xu Yue couldn't wait patiently, there was a strong oppressive force in those black eyes, and the chief eunuch swallowed hard, and then said carefully:
"Your Excellency, there are 365 female eunuchs in the North Palace, including 160 eunuchs and 205 palace maids, Your Majesty...... It's not, it's, it'......"
Accidentally said the wrong thing, and the chief eunuch was so flustered that he stammered.
Xu Yue exhaled deeply, and the chief eunuch lost his temper, but he was not in such a hurry. sat down on the corner of the luxurious dragon chair where Zhao Yuanji had sit, waiting for the chief eunuch to relieve his breath, and thought: Look at what a gentle and kind leader I am.
The chief eunuch was so anxious that he wanted to cry, so he took a breath and hurriedly poured out all the rest of the words.
"In addition to the two close eunuchs and four palace maids taken away by the Northern Emperor, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-one palace people left in the Northern Capital!"
"Three hundred and sixty-one ......" Xu Yue's fingers tapped on the hard dragon chair under her buttocks, and sneered: "One person needs more than three hundred people to serve, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor." ”
The soldier also sighed beside him: "There are actually more than 360 palace people, how can this small North Palace live?" ”
The new imperial palace is not as luxurious as the two old capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, the north palace covers an area of 0.2 square kilometers, and the Forbidden City is more than twice as much as it is known in later generations.
