My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 241: The aftermath of entering the palace
The setting sun gradually turned orange in the sky, and the street fighting was coming to an end. Only a few remaining Wei soldiers were still resisting in the corners of the city, attracting large numbers of soldiers from the Youyan, Xiliang, and Yizhou armies to rush over. The last sound was heard. Then disappear.

At Xuan Chun Gate, the stench wafted from the burnt wood of the city tower.

The wide area nearby was filled with soldiers and soldiers. Jokes and groans of pain could be heard from time to time. In front of the city gate, Su Chen sat on a big tiger-skin chair and looked at the fiery-red token in his hand.

The previous conjecture was indeed confirmed.

'What did Marquis Wen go through to undergo such a transformation?I don’t know how much stronger I am now than before. Su Chen played with the token in his hand and asked Li Tiangang in a low voice in the car behind.

"Taoist Priest, what do you think the Great Master and Marquis Wen went through to undergo such transformations?"

In the carriage, the Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged and was closing his eyes in silence. When he heard Su Chen's words, he slowly opened his eyes, "Your Majesty wants to know, why don't you ask in person? Poor Taoist monks don't know much. "

"The Taoist priest is hiding something secret again."

Su Chen looked forward and smiled at the Taoist priest behind him, "But I still hope that the Taoist priest can tell me more about it in the future."

Not far away, Qin Qiong and Li Xuanba were punching and kicking a chubby old man. Amidst the moans, Su Chen winked at Dian Wei, who nodded and stepped forward to pull Qin Qiong and Li Xuanba away.

The person holding his head on the ground was An Lushan. He was sitting at the city gate bragging to a group of soldiers about how powerful he was back then. Qin Qiong heard this, and then called Li Xuanba to trick him into a corner. One scene.

"Bah! Old thing." Qin Qiong was pulled away, rushed over and kicked her again, then turned around angrily: "If the king hadn't been here, I would have crushed you to ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Su Chen could understand Qin Qiong. The prosperous country he had worked so hard to build with Li Shimin was ruined in the hands of such a person, and even if he met him, he didn't attack him with a knife on the spot because he was worried about Su Chen's face.

As for Li Xuanba, he just wanted to beat him.

After the two left, Dian Wei helped An Lushan sit down by the wall. Seeing that his injuries were not serious, he patted his shoulders and said, "As long as King Xia is here, you will be fine. No matter how you conquer Wei, you will be able to conquer Wei." It’s meritorious.”

"You said the king was covering me, but they... they just beat me... so hard..."

"It's just because the king is protecting you that you only received two blows. If the king were not here just now, your bones would have been broken. What have you done that you don't know?!"

Dian Wei hummed, and Dong Zhuo came over with his belly stretched out. His shoulders, arms, and abdomen were all wrapped with bandages. He came closer and asked, "What has he done?"

"I don't know either. I'm following the king to learn how to deceive people." Dian Wei shook his head and returned to the cart carrying two big halberds.

An Lushan saw the same fat old man sitting over and quickly raised his hand: "I'm An Lushan, what do you call this general?"

"Dong Zhuo."

Hearing this name, An Lushan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Dong Zhuo from the late Han Dynasty?"

Here, Dong Zhuo's face darkened, his eyes half-closed with murderous intent.

"Hmph, can there be a second Dong Zhuo?"

"It's not that I mean to make fun of you, it's actually..." An Lushan told the other party exactly what he had done, "I often told my subordinates that in the late Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty, ran the frontier and was often attacked by the capital. Wen Zhongwen looks down on us, we are also soldiers on the frontier, we should learn from Grand Master Dong and take charge of Chang'an!"

Snapped!
As soon as An Lushan finished speaking, Dong Zhuo slapped his face to the side, causing spittle to fly out.Dong Zhuo stood up and raised the sword around his waist, "Damn it, I finally changed my ways, and now you want to ruin my reputation again. There's no one I can imitate, just imitate me!"

Immediately, he left cursing.

An Lushan covered his face and stared blankly at Dong Zhuo, who was fat and had a thick beard and an evil eye. He didn't look like a good person, especially the slap just now, which couldn't be more evil.

He walked to the ancestral hearse and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is no place for An Lushan here."

Su Chen saw everything that happened. He did not comment on what An Lushan had done before. He just said: "There is everyone here in Gu, so relax, Gu will never treat anyone with kindness. General An There is still room for use.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, but please, Your Majesty, let the general named Qin Qiong be beaten less... His old arms and legs can't stand the torture."

Just as he was talking, a horseman galloped across the street in the distance. When he came here, he was outside the guarding range of the shield guards. He reined up his horse and jumped off. He walked about five feet to the cart. He knelt down on his knees and cupped his hands and said: "Report to your Majesty, General Lu and General Zhang invaded the palace. The Wei soldiers in the palace were wiped out, and the Wei Emperor committed suicide!"

"Emperor Wei is dead?"

Su Chen was a little surprised. After all, if the Emperor of Wei was still alive, it would save a lot of trouble to surrender the other states, but since he was dead, he had nothing to worry about.

"Reorganize the troops and horses, we enter the Wei Palace, and send an order to General Zhao, asking him to lead the Youyan Army to speed up the mopping up of the remnants of the Wei State, spread the news that the Wei Emperor committed suicide, notify the Wei State officials who are still alive, and maintain order in the city .”

Ling Qi took the order, turned around and galloped away.

Here, a thousand shield warriors gathered to guard the front, rear and left sides of the ancestral coffin. The soldiers driving the cart waved their whips, and the six-wheeled cart started to drive slowly. People around it include Dian Wei, Li Xuanba, Xia Houyuan, An Lushan, Zhang Yu, Qin Qiong and other generals followed them one after another to see what the Wei Palace looked like.

In Luyang, which has a population of over a million, if you want to enter the imperial city, you still have to travel twenty miles. It is faster to ride a horse alone, but a large vehicle like the ancestral hearse will take enough time for the various commanders and generals to The message gets through.Not many civil and military officials in the Wei Dynasty were still alive, only about 30 people. Most of the others rushed to the south gate when the street fighting broke out, blocked the street, and were crushed and killed by Li Jue's flying bear army. All their gold, silver and property were stolen. It was looted by soldiers.

Su Chen knew about this, but turned a blind eye. As long as he did not persecute the people, he tried his best to use war to kill all the dignitaries of the Wei Kingdom, especially the clan, so that no one would come out later to fight for the restoration of the country. banner.

After all, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, those young and old were living examples.

When we came to Zhengyang Gate, the towers and walls of the imperial city were covered in blood. The palace roads had been cleaned by the slave slaves and the still-living Rebel Army, but the blood was still covering the gaps in the floor tiles, and the minced meat was clearly visible in the corners.

On the contrary, the two big trees behind Zhengyang Gate were not affected by the war, and they were still lined with lush leaves. The cart slowly passed through the palace road and extended to the main hall of the palace. The fighting in the square had stopped, and the Bingzhou Army The soldiers and palace eunuchs were busy dragging away the corpses. The palace maids looked pale and were washing the floor tiles over and over again with buckets of water.

Not far away, there was a group of old Wei officials bowing their heads.

Seeing the cart stop, the soldiers around them first put down everything in their hands, stood up straight on the spot, and shouted towards the ancestor's hearse: "Greetings to the king!"

The eunuchs and maids looked panicked and hurriedly knelt down and lowered their heads. Some of them were a little braver. They raised their eyes slightly and saw a tall figure walking down from the chariot wearing armor and holding a sword.

It will be dark.

The generals who followed Su Chen into the palace were all tall or fat and strong. They were all veteran generals on the battlefield. They strode forward all the way, and the momentum they exuded was enough to make everyone here feel afraid. .

Outside the Xuanzheng Hall above the steps, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Niu Gao, and Li Jue were sitting on the threshold of the hall, laughing and chatting. When they heard shouts from below, the five generals stood up one after another. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao walked in front of the three of them and raised their hands together.

"I have seen the king!"

Su Chen came straight over and raised his hands respectfully towards the five people: "It's all thanks to the five generals who fought hard to kill the enemy. I only have the opportunity to enter the Wei Palace today. Let's go in and take a look!"

"Please!"

The generals laughed loudly, made humility gestures to each other, and then followed Su Chen into the Xuanzheng Palace. The cranes and tiger lampposts were lit by the frightened palace maids, and the red-bottomed golden dragon pillars revealed the past. Majestic and solemn.

Su Chen walked past the smooth stone bricks in the middle, looked at the dragon chair on the imperial steps, took off his cloak and threw it to Wu Zixun aside.

"I remember last year, I was exchanging urgent letters for eight hundred miles with the Emperor of Wei, and they were scolding each other. A year later, almost in the same month, I was standing in the palace of Wei."

Behind him were two lines of troops. On the left were all the important generals of the army, and on the right were the thirty or so old ministers of the Wei State, headed by Long Qiao, and Yuan Feng was among them. They chose to protect themselves wisely and did not dare to lead at will.

After hearing Su Chen's words, more than thirty old officials of the Wei Kingdom lowered their gazes with complicated eyes.

"I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but I am not a soft-hearted person either. As long as you do your job well, everything will continue as usual." Su Chen strode forward and walked up the imperial steps one by one to the golden palace. , hand caressing the golden dragon chair.

"I don't know how many people fought for this seat. By the way, where is the emperor's prince? Has he run away?"

Su Chen turned his face and looked at the civil and military group. The latter shook his head and didn't know anything about it. However, Lu Bu came out and clapped his hands boldly: "A certain family shot and killed a person in the suburbs of the west city. He was dressed luxuriously, but I don't know if it was..." What kind of royal person?"

As they spoke, several wolf riders pulled a corpse into the hall and showed it to the thirty or so people over there.

The expressions of Yuan Feng and Long Qiao suddenly changed, and the latter stepped forward in small steps.

"King Xia, this corpse... is indeed the Crown Prince of Wei, Zhao Longyi."

Su Chen casually flipped through a few memorials on the dragon case and nodded: "Take him away for a grand burial. Bury him with his father and mother, and the debt will be wiped out. You and other civil and military officials will also go down as soon as possible to pacify the people, as well as the orphans." soldiers!"

Su Chen turned his face and his gaze was dull, but in the eyes of Yuan Feng and others, he looked ferocious. This was the real aura of the King of Bears and Tigers, not an act.

Here, more than thirty people bowed their heads and said yes, and then were sent away by Su Chen.

It was getting dark now, so everything could be done tomorrow. Su Chen sat on the dragon chair and patted the armrest: "It's hard, there's no place to sit on it. I'll put tiger skin on it tomorrow."

Su Chen stood up, summoned Wu Zixun, and said to the generals who were looking around in the hall opposite: "Lead the eunuchs to clean the rooms. The generals will go to the palace to rest today. All the concubines of the Wei Emperor will be assigned to warm everyone's beds."

"One?" Wu Zixun cautiously stretched out a finger.

"How can one be enough!?" Dong Zhuo laughed, "I want five!"

"Ha ha!"

Su Chen walked down the imperial steps, waved his hand, and dragged his cloak towards the back hall, "Then I will give you as much as you want according to the Grand Master's wishes."
