Chapter 384 Xixia harem, so many beauties (Part 2)
"Come here, please take care of these prisoners first! I will lead my troops and enter the Xixia harem in person to search for the false emperor Li Qianshun and capture his false queen Yelu Nanxian!"
Zhao Ji's imperial edict was like thunder piercing the sky. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were shocked and at the same time they were all gearing up and eager to try.
This decree not only made the blood of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty surge and their eyes sparkle, but even those old Xixia tribes who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty could not help but feel ripples in their hearts.
Whether it is the Song generals or the Xixia soldiers who surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the Xixia harem is definitely a beautiful place that many men yearn for. Before that, it was a beautiful and mysterious paradise on earth that they would never dare to set foot in!
They had long heard that in the Xixia harem, there were not only three thousand beauties vying for beauty, but also seven or eight thousand single, good-looking, young and good-looking maids.
They are all like the most gorgeous flowers in spring, but most of them can only bloom quietly. As time goes by, what awaits them is aging like flowers withering. Throughout their lives, they will never attract bees or butterflies. , and there are very few people who are favored by Emperor Xia, the only adult man in the harem.
The soldiers who have followed Zhao Guan's family to personally conquer Xia for so long have not had sex with women for a long time. Even with Zhao Guan's military orders, they did not dare to do anything wrong to any women in the Xixia harem, but they could appreciate the exotic customs of the Xixia harem. Beautiful women, feasting your eyes and gaining insights are also a great blessing in life!
Of course, there are exceptions among them. He is Yue Fei, who has a good character, is not a womanizer, and serves his country loyally.
When the Zhao Guan family announced that they were about to rush into the Xixia harem and capture Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian, Yue Fei, who was eager to enter the Xixia harem, not only did not have the slightest reverie about beauty, but was excited and excited.
Yue Fei knew very well that if Li Qianshun, the false emperor of Xixia, was captured, regardless of his life or death, it would mean that the Xixia Kingdom was truly destroyed by the Song Dynasty.
Xixia, this enemy country that had invaded the border countless times, demanded annual coins, made the Song Dynasty's finances worse, and lost all face. The day it fell was the day when the Song Dynasty was proud and proud.
Under the wise leadership of the Zhao Guan family, if the Song Dynasty eliminated the biggest hidden danger of the Xixia Kingdom on the northwest border, this great achievement of opening up the territory would be even greater than the achievement of sealing the wolf to stay in Xu.
Then, the great achievements of the Zhao Guan family will far exceed those of the founder of the Song Dynasty, Taizu and Emperor Taizong.
Yue Fei hurriedly reported to Zhao Guan:
"Please give the official order quickly to enter the Xixia harem and capture Li Qianshun, the puppet emperor of Xixia!"
Zhao Ji smiled and nodded and said: "Okay! Come, bring the Xixia Princess Cao, who submitted to me in the Song Dynasty, and several palace officials to me, and ask them to make meritorious deeds and lead the way for me."
"According to the decree..."
Many people from the Western Xia Palace who had just returned to the Song Dynasty were greatly shocked when they saw Cao, the most favored concubine of Emperor Xia today, walking out of the carriage with curtains brought by Zhao Guan's family due to the isolation of news.
"Ah?! Cao... Princess Cao..."
"..."
They never expected that Princess Cao would surrender to the Song Dynasty so early. What puzzled them was, when did Princess Cao leave the Xixia Palace and surrender to the Song Dynasty?
However, in front of the majestic and domineering Zhao Guan family, they did not dare to ask questions at all, and could only bury their shock and doubts deeply in their hearts.
Mrs. Cao knelt down and paid homage to Zhao Guan's family...
Ms. Cao, who was extremely sad and angry after losing her parents, saw the majestic and high-spirited Zhao Guan family, and her mood was extremely complicated.
If the Emperor Zhao Guan of the Song Dynasty in front of him had not personally conquered Xia, then the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, who had always doted on him, would not have compromised and sent her to the Song camp, and her biological parents would not have ended up dead in a different place. Tragic end.
However, Ms. Cao knew that the direct culprit of the brutal murder of her parents was Emperor Xia Li Qianshun. She had transferred all her hatred to Li Qianshun.
As for the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty Emperor in front of her, she did not have the guts to hold a grudge, because in addition to the life of her weak woman being in the hands of the Zhao Guan family, the lives of her biological brothers and nearly a hundred people in her family were also in their hands. It's in the hands of Zhao Guan's family.
The Xixia Princess Cao and more than 20 people from the Xixia Palace selected by the Song Army led the way for the Zhao Guan family who was personally conquering...
Zhao Ji led the accompanying prince Yun Wang Zhao Kai, Kang Wang Zhao Gou, and Yue Fei and other generals, like an unstoppable torrent, rushed into the Xixia harem...
Zhao Ji saw that in the courtyard of the Xixia harem, the palace walls were towering and the pavilions and pavilions were scattered in an orderly manner. However, it was much smaller in scale and magnificence than the harem in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty.
At this moment, the entire Xixia harem was in chaos. Concubines, maids, and eunuchs were running around, crying and screaming. Those who ran fast rushed into the depths of the Xixia harem...
Zhao Ji shouted: "You Xixia concubines and palace men, those who kneel down and surrender will be spared death! Those who flee and those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"
Those who were running slowly among the Xixia Palace people were so frightened that they knelt down and surrendered when they saw the Song army led by Zhao Guanjia rushing in.
Xia Emperor Li Qianshun has been in power for many years, and after all, he is still a wise emperor. Naturally, there are many eunuchs who are loyal to the current Xia Emperor.
At this time, more than thirty eunuchs in the Xixia harem did not have swords or other weapons in their hands, but they picked up brooms, wooden sticks and other objects. They knew that stubborn resistance would inevitably lead to death, but they still wanted to fulfill their oath of loyalty to the emperor. , and came to kill the Song army led by Zhao Guanjia...
"Kill..."
"We swear allegiance to the Emperor of Great Xia to the death..."
"Charge, kill..."
"Click, click..."
"Ahhhh..."
The soldiers in the front line of the Zhao Guan family swung their swords and effortlessly chopped off the heads of more than thirty Xixia eunuchs and servants who rushed towards them. In an instant, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood...
In the courtyard of the Xixia Palace, there were more timid people left. When they saw the heads of the stubborn resisters falling to the ground and blood splattering, they were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, and fear and despair appeared on their faces.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The gorgeous and solemn Xixia harem seems so pale and powerless at this moment, unable to provide them with any shelter.
They knelt on the ground obediently, knocked their foreheads on the ground, trembled all over, begged for their lives, and surrendered one after another to the Song army led by Zhao Guanjia...
"It is my decree that all those who surrender will be taken into custody and concentrated in the courtyard. Prisoners are not allowed to be killed. They will be dealt with after the war." Zhao Ji issued the latest edict.
"The general will obey the order..."
Yue Fei quickly implemented the emperor's order, detached a group of soldiers, and began to gather the surrendered Xixia concubines, maids, and eunuchs in an orderly manner, escorted them out of their respective residences, and gathered them in the harem compound.
The concubines of the Xixia harem were dressed in all kinds of colorful clothes and pearls on their heads. Although they looked panicked, they could not conceal their natural beauty. They were escorted out of their exquisite palaces in an orderly manner by the soldiers of the Song army, like a group of colorful phoenixes that had lost their shelter.
, were gathered in the courtyard of the harem, and were guarded by soldiers assigned by Zhao Guan's family.
The moon was sparse, and the soldiers of the Song army lined up in an orderly manner in the courtyard, each holding a torch, like several fire dragons, illuminating the courtyard of the Xixia Harem in the night as bright as day.
The concubines and maids of Xixia, who were gathered together and brought to the palace compound, looked at this sudden change with horror in their hearts.
They saw the Zhao Guan family with sharp and deep eyes, riding on a tall horse, wearing golden armor and holding the emperor's sword in his hand. Under the moonlight and firelight, it shone brightly and was majestic.
The Zhao Guan family was so majestic and heroic that all the concubines, maids, and eunuchs gathered in the Xixia harem compound could not help but feel a sense of awe and submission.
In contrast, Li Qianshun, the once aloof and domineering leader of Xixia, may be hiding in a corner of the harem at the moment, panicking like a bereaved dog. Faced with the impending destruction of his country and his family, he is powerless.
.
The concubines of the Western Xia Dynasty were secretly compared in the hearts of the palace people. The Emperor Zhao Guan of the Song Dynasty, who was personally conquering the concubine, was like a heavenly being, arrogant;
And Li Qianshun, the leader of Xixia who is about to be subjugated, will surely become an ant trampled under the feet of heaven and man. He is insignificant and miserable!
Some quick-thinking concubines and maids of Xixia began to secretly calculate: Even if the Xia Kingdom was destroyed by the Zhao Guan family, if the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty emperor who personally conquered the country could take a fancy to the slave family, and even favor the slave family, then the slave family could change their family, and they would still be able to do so in the future.
Good food and clothing, a life of prosperity and wealth...
Although they were frightened by the menacing Song Army, their faces turned pale and their delicate bodies trembled, but they still tried hard to adjust their postures, trying to stand out among the many women. Some of them stroked their hair, adjusted their clothes, and gently moved their lotuses.
Stepping forward, the hem of the skirt is swaying, trying to show off her beauty and enchantment.
From the corner of their eyes, they secretly glanced at the handsome and majestic Zhao Guan's family, and secretly prayed in their hearts: The Emperor of the Song Dynasty should take a quick look at the slave family!
Many Song soldiers who followed Zhao Guan's family into the Xixia harem had glaring eyes. Except for Yue Fei, they were all fascinated by the Yingying Yanyan in the Xixia harem and swallowed their saliva. However, in their minds came the imperial edict that Zhao Guan's family had already issued: They were strictly ordered not to behave recklessly with women inside or outside the Xixia Palace, and any violation would be punished by military law.
Only then did they suddenly feel big and small, and they all shivered. They could only swallow hard and grit their teeth to endure the restlessness in their hearts.
There were so many beauties in Xixia's harem, but Zhao Ji's heart was not disturbed at all.
His eyes were deep and sharp, and after scanning around, he had seen through everyone's thoughts. He just smiled faintly, and his eyes did not stop at the many beauties in the Xixia harem.
The Xixia concubines and maids, who were escorted by the Song army and gathered in the harem compound, looked at the majestic and heavenly Emperor of the Song Dynasty without even looking at them, making them involuntarily feel awe and admiration.
However, they suddenly saw a familiar graceful figure walking slowly towards Zhao Guan's house, who was like a celestial being, and they immediately felt envious, jealous, and hateful.
They were extremely shocked to see that the imperial concubine Cao, who had been favored by Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, was standing respectfully next to the Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Guan's family, raising his bright wrist and extending his jade finger to guide Zhao Guan's family. the way……
'Humph, this bitch like Cao Shi surrendered to the enemy so quickly and became a celebrity around the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. It's really abominable!' A concubine in gorgeous palace clothes gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart. :
'How great it would be if I could also be favored by Zhao Guan's family!'
Similar envy, jealousy and hatred continued to arise in the hearts of thousands of Xixia concubines and maids in the harem compound.
The more courageous Xixia concubines and maids actually shouted:
"The slave family is willing to submit to the family of Emperor Zhao Guan of the Song Dynasty..."
"The slave family is also willing to lead the way for the Zhao Guan family to capture the Xixia puppet emperor Li Qianshun..."
"The slave family is also willing to submit to Zhao Guan's family..."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly and ordered:
"Come here, select thirty high-ranking concubines from the Xixia puppet emperor Li Qianshun who are willing to surrender and lead the way for me."
"According to the decree..."
The thirty higher-ranking Xixia concubines who were selected to lead the way were secretly happy in their hearts, and their pretty faces suddenly showed proud smiles.
They also hurriedly arranged their hair, suppressed the panic and excitement in their hearts, and tried their best to appear dignified, generous, and beautiful, hoping to seduce Guan Zhao's family.
"I would like to thank the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for not killing me. I am willing to do the hard work for Zhao Guan's family." The beautiful and dignified imperial concubine of Xixia, dressed in splendid clothes, said with a trembling voice. She bowed respectfully to Zhao Ji to express her gratitude.
"The slave family thanks the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for not killing him, and the slave family is also willing to do the hard work of the Zhao Guan family."
Other selected concubines also expressed their opinions one after another. They either bowed their heads in obedience, or their eyes shone with expectation and desire, all hoping to leave a good impression on the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji glanced at this group of beautiful Xixia concubines, but his heart was not disturbed.
"Okay, since you have voluntarily surrendered, I will treat you kindly." Zhao Ji's voice was calm and strong. He slightly raised his hand to signal the concubines who were kneeling to thank them to get up and follow him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the courtyard of the Xixia Harem, other concubines, maids and eunuchs who were not chosen to lead the way by Zhao Guan's family looked at this scene with mixed feelings in their hearts, some were envious, some were jealous, and some were hate...
Hate, I only dare to hate the current Xixia pseudo-emperor Li Qianshun. Why didn't Li Qianshun promote him to a high position before this?
…
"In response to the official announcement, Yue Fei, the last general, has sent his soldiers to search the Xixia harem compound three times except for the Kunning Palace where the pseudo-queen Yelu Nanxian lives. No Li Qianshun and Li Qianshun have been found yet. The traces of Yelu Nanxian."
"I know!" Zhao Ji nodded slightly.
Many Song military generals who followed Zhao Guan's family into the Xixia harem compound were extremely puzzled: Why didn't Zhao Guan's family send troops to search the Kunning Palace where the false emperor Li Qianshun was most likely to be hiding?
However, a few smart people in the Song army seemed to have seen some clever intentions of the Zhao Guan family.
In fact, since Zhao Ji led his troops into the Xixia palace, he had been thinking about how to deal with Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun?
If the Song army captured Emperor Xia Li Qianshun alive, what would they do with him? Should they kill him immediately?
It seems that I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, are unkind and cannot tolerate a king who has subjugated his country.
But in history, many of the last emperors who were destroyed were not killed immediately. Instead, they were secretly dealt with after a year and a half or even several years later, and it was announced that they had died of illness.
Today, many local military divisions in Xixia still control their tribal troops, and their military strength has not been wiped out by the Song army.
In this way, if Li Qianshun was captured alive and raised for a period of time, many mishaps would easily occur, which would obviously be detrimental to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji felt that leaving Xia Emperor Li Qianshun alive was like a hot potato; so, I deliberately created a momentum in the harem compound of Xixia and put Kunning Palace, which was most likely to hide Li Qianshun, as the last one to break in. The place of arrest. In this way, as long as Xia Emperor Li Qianshun still has a little face, and I give him enough time, then why not kill himself for the sake of his final dignity?
In this way, I will not be burdened with the infamy of killing the subjugated king Li Qianshun, appease the hearts of the people of Xixia, and prevent the local military commanders in Xixia from raising troops under the banner of Li Qianshun's restoration. It is really a single stone.
Zhao Ji issued an edict: "All the soldiers in the courtyard and those who surrendered to the Song Dynasty raised up the momentum of shouting for death, and followed me into the Kunning Palace where the puppet emperor Li Qianshun of the Western Xia Dynasty was hiding!"
"According to the decree..."
"Kill! Charge!"
"Li Qianshun, the false emperor of Xixia, you unprincipled and ignorant king, you have no way to escape!!"
"I swear to kill the false emperor Li Qianshun and avenge my parents..." The Xixia Princess Cao's throat-breaking shouting shocked the Xixia concubines around her who later returned to Zhao Guan's family.
They didn't know the inside story. They looked at the Cao family in great amazement as they shouted to kill the most strenuous person. At the same time, they also followed the same example. In order to sell well around Zhao Guan's family, they all imitated the Cao family and screamed with great hatred. shouted:
"The slave family has abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the Zhao Guan family of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. The slave family is determined to tear the puppet emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia to pieces..."
"The slave family is also..."
"Guan's house, ahead is the Kunning Palace where the Puppet Empress Yelu Nanxian lives..."
"Kill! Charge!"
Yue Fei, who had dismounted and was on foot, was ordered to lead his troops to clear the way for Zhao Guan's family and rushed to the gate of Xixia Kunning Palace.
With a "clang" sound, Yue Fei kicked open the ajar door of Kunning Palace...
In Kunning Palace, the courtyard was deserted and utensils were scattered everywhere. Apparently, the eunuchs and maids here had already fled in panic when they heard that the Song army had entered the Xixia harem.
However, Yue Fei was afraid that there was an ambush by the Xia army in Kunning Palace and that the Zhao Guan family would come after them, so he led his soldiers to be on high alert with sharp swords in their hands.
Zhao Ji led the rear group, which was shouting to kill, and rushed into the courtyard of Kunning Palace.
With a "clang" sound, Yue Fei kicked open the door of Kunning's palace again...
Carrying the emperor's sword, Zhao Ji, protected by Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and other soldiers, rushed into Xixia's Kunning palace.
With the candlelight flickering in the room and the flickering torch in Song Jun's hand, the luxurious interior of Kunning Palace in Xixia could not attract Zhao Ji's attention.
What caught Zhao Ji's attention was that a man and a woman were sitting on the royal couch in the palace. Next to their royal couches was a golden nanmu acacia table, with a golden wine pot with handles placed on it. , there were two broken white jade wine cups on the ground.
Zhao Ji looked at the two people sitting on the edge of the imperial couch. Judging from the clothes they wore, they should be the current emperor and queen of Xixia Kingdom.
At this time, Li Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian had painful expressions and bleeding from the corners of their mouths. When they looked at the majestic Zhao Guan's house that had broken through the door, they showed miserable smiles...
