"The situation is so bad!" Cao Yiyan looked gloomy.
Not only were there so many casualties, but all the strongholds in the capital were almost wiped out!
This was the hidden hand that the Wei Dynasty used to use the shadow of hundreds of years to bury the world. It is easy to pull out, but it is almost impossible to rebuild it in a short time!
After all, it is difficult to unite people's hearts, but it is very easy to become evil.
It has been nearly forty years since the establishment of the Puppet Zheng Dynasty. There are fewer and fewer people in the capital who care about the Wei Dynasty. This is really a heavy blow to the country!
The most important thing is that he is still in the capital and has not been able to break out.
With so many people injured, even though there is a lot of medicine and food hidden here that just need to be fed, it still makes people feel panicked.
The sound of patter of rain is disturbing.
Some people endured their anxiety, like trapped animals, while others kept listening to the noise outside. Although there were two people secretly guarding the outside, guiding their companions on the one hand, and on the other hand, preventing people from the court from raiding, they still felt uneasy.
.
Someone in the field suddenly asked: "Sir, is it safe here?"
Cao Yiyan took a look and heard the suspicion and even doubts of this person. He was now the king of Ying State, but he did not tell the intelligence personnel here to avoid leaking the news. After all, if they were just dispatching manpower, a "Special Envoy of Ying State"
The token and identity are enough.
Only a very limited number of people know his identity, strictly speaking, only Liu Danai and Zhong Cui, so people here are called "Gongzi".
"The Wei Dynasty has been raising scholars for five hundred years, and it is natural for people to die." Cao Yiyan sighed inwardly and said lightly: "When the capital fell, there was a young man who stayed behind."
"I did not enter the palace first, but waited for the puppet Zheng to be established before I was castrated and entered the palace. Therefore, I avoided the purge. After so many years, I became the eunuch of Concubine Wu."
Everyone present listened silently. According to Zheng Jiwei's system, the highest level of eunuchs was the fourth rank, and the lowest eunuch who could be called a great eunuch was the fifth rank, which was the chief eunuch in the concubine's palace.
As for cleaning, everyone understands.
The pseudo-Zheng captured the capital. Facing the eunuchs and maids in the Wei Dynasty palace, the original eunuchs who had implemented a policy and knew the secrets were either killed or imprisoned, and none of them could get out.
The middle-level staff will be streamlined and used temporarily, the lower-level maids will be repatriated, and new maids will be recruited. When the new maids are trained, they will all replace the original ones without leaving any one behind.
In other words, as long as those who stayed in the palace were marked as "Old Wei", the best outcome would be to be benched.
Only new eunuchs and palace maids can be promoted and used.
"This is the nursing home for the concubine, and now she is sent to live in the princess mansion. Even if Concubine Wu is not as favored as before, and Princess Xinping is no longer as favored as before, it should not be underestimated. Even if the Imperial City Secretary is pervasive,
, there are people searching for us everywhere, and we will also give some face to Concubine Wu, Princess Xinping, and the eunuch."
"We don't plan to stay here for a long time. In the short term, it will be very safe here. Even if someone wants to search, they will not find the senior eunuch's retirement residence."
"Of course, even if we search, we still have our own little eunuch left. As long as this little eunuch is here, he can fool the people in the palace and the Imperial City Department, and help us block people who may come from outside."
After hearing Cao Yiyan's words, everyone around him relaxed visibly.
At this moment, there was a commotion in front, and those who had relaxed a little immediately became alert and pressed their knives.
"It's us."
During the chaos, I heard footsteps, and then a group of people came in. At the first sight, Cao Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Zhong, Liu Danai, you are finally back."
One was the businessman Liu Danai, and the other was the middle-aged Zhong Cui. Even in the panic, Zhong Cui, dressed in a white bamboo cloth robe, looked calm. When he saw it, he took a step forward and bowed: "Young Master, please worry, we are fine."
Liu Danai said with an apologetic smile: "Thanks to Mr. Zhong, I realized something was wrong from the beginning and ordered the people in Gudengzhan to withdraw from the stronghold. There were no casualties."
"It's just a chaos of war. There are people checking cards everywhere. I'm late. Please forgive me, sir."
Cao Yiyan was startled for a moment, then he glanced at the group of people who were following behind. He was extremely satisfied. This group of people not only included warriors, but also managers. It could be said that the seeds had been preserved. He laughed immediately: "
You brought the person back intact, with no merit and no fault, so what crime do you have?"
"Everyone is back. It's snowing outside. Everyone, please go inside!"
Everyone stands here, firstly, waiting for the surviving companions who keep coming, and secondly, feeling uneasy and unable to stay in the room peacefully.
After waiting here for a while, some companions came over and brought back the news that although the situation was bad, it was still safe here, so I felt a little tired.
"Let's go to the hall first. The corpses of these brothers will be collected in the wing room first. If there is a chance in the future, we will take them out together and bury them." Cao Yiyan glanced at the dead bodies on the ground and said.
These dead bodies were still alive and breathing just now. After all, in this case, no one would take the corpses with them when escaping.
But the injury was too severe, and he died not long after he was carried here.
The rest of the people suffered minor injuries, which were not serious.
This is the best outcome out of the worst so far.
At least there is still a place to stay in this capital city.
Even if this place is a temporary "borrowing", it will cause trouble after a long time, but at least within three or two days, it won't matter.
"Yes, sir!" The people present entered the hall one after another.
This house was probably built by a great eunuch for his retirement. It is very comfortable inside and out. You can enter the hall from the front yard, and you can enter each house through the corridors on the left and right sides of the hall.
The side rooms originally used for slaves could be used to house the wounded. There were two entrances, the front and back, and the courtyard behind was basically empty.
There is no one here on weekdays. The eunuch who is his favorite concubine brings money not only to buy a property, but it is closer to the palace gate and he has lived there more often in the past.
But when it comes to storing things, the old eunuch can store most of his things elsewhere.
There is a saying that goes, a cunning rabbit has three holes.
A great eunuch who can get ahead must be more cunning than a rabbit, and this is not the only thing he can do.
There are just some rice noodles and firewood in the backyard, which can feed the whole family for ten days and a half at most. If the owner suddenly comes to live there, he won't have nowhere to find materials to cook in the middle of the night.
There is also a vegetable garden opened in the open space in the backyard. It's not that my mood or situation is wrong at the moment, but this is a suitable place for retirement.
As one of his own, the little eunuch knew everything about Cao Yiyan. Even before he came, Cao Yiyan knew that this place could barely be self-sufficient for a while.
I kept some of everything, including medicine for wounds.
After entering the hall, he took off his coir raincoat and told the young eunuch, "Call a few people and follow you to the backyard to find some ingredients and cook a full meal for everyone."
"Yes, Young Master." The little eunuch responded immediately. The others who came in also took off their raincoats and found their way to sit on the pillars. None of them spoke, looking very depressed.
After the little eunuch boiled the water, poured tea for everyone in a big teapot, and then retired, the people drank one after another, and then they let out the suffocation in their chests.
In the dead silent hall, there was finally a little bit of popularity.
It was only at this moment that Cao Yiyan asked: "Why does this happen? Does anyone know?"
The people present also wanted to know the answer to this question, but they couldn't find it. They looked at each other, then secretly glanced above, and then lowered their heads.
Seeing that no one responded, and this was the situation again, Cao Yiyan's face became even more ugly. This was because he doubted himself and caused the trouble, and he didn't trust himself even more!
