Chapter 100: Liberating Chengdu City
(The first time I have commented on my work!) I have never pushed my own works, because I know that I have many shortcomings, and the biggest gratitude for growing up all the way is that I can fulfill my childhood dream! A hundred chapters are the beginning of this story, and I find that it is far from enough to describe this era. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info you can pick up your own pen to create what you want, although not necessarily many friends like it! But I'm still thankful that when I'm old, I can think back to my experience now! That's why I'm not going to promote my work! Thank you! Thank you for making my dream come true! )
Meng Chang's eyes were deep-set, he didn't even wear a head facing the sky, and his originally smooth hair looked a little messy. The haggard expression made him look a little shaky.
Although there were also palace maids and Zhao Zhong standing beside her, and even the queen mother was lying on a couch on the side, looking like she was resting, but her eyelids couldn't help fluttering, and it could be seen that she was also pretending to sleep. Although he was sitting and resting, Meng Chang didn't seem to feel it at all, and his blood-red eyes looked a little terrifying.
He sat at the white jade stone table, surrounded by bright night pearls, without gorgeous decorations, but also very well ventilated, without giving people too much pressure. This is the secret passage under the partial hall, and it is only ten meters underground from the side hall above, which is relatively safe.
The secret passage has a thick stone door, and dozens of elites are guarded outside the tunnel leading to the outside. Although dozens of people are not worth mentioning, these are all heavily armed janissaries. They guarded the outside of the tunnel entrance, which was a kind of peace of mind for Meng Chang.
Yesterday's sudden attack made everyone panic, Chengping was too long and comfortable, so that the danger was approaching, and everyone didn't know how to react.
Although in the end, they still supported the emperor to dodge in a hurry, but everyone didn't know where to go for a while, let alone what to do. In the end, although they fled together, they finally saw that only the Queen Mother was there and followed the emperor.
I don't know if they were lost in a hurry, or if no one took care of them and didn't see everyone follow. The representatives of this are naturally Concubine Hui and Li Zhaorong, who have always been favored, who are usually inseparable from the emperor.
Everyone felt a little weird, not to mention that Concubine Hui was punished by the Queen Mother, then Li Zhaorong has always been deeply favored. Everyone didn't dare to squeak, and in the panic at that time, it was already good to ensure that they came out soberly.
Because it is the palace inside, naturally the ministers cannot come in, and if they come in without being summoned by the emperor, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans. Of course, there is also Wang Zhaoyuan, who is a true protector, he is an exception. He has always followed the emperor's side, and he will save the lord at critical moments.
Showing loyalty at the critical moment, Wang Zhaoyuan obviously staged the most realistic version. In the end, everyone found that the emperor, who had nowhere to hide, and who lacked exercise and exercise, could not run fast at all. When everyone was panicking, the emperor thought that there was a secret passage in his side hall.
Although the emperor finally escaped into the secret passage, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the world that had been peaceful for more than 20 years has always been self-respecting. I had never experienced such danger, and I saw the murderous voices in the palace, but there was no one to protect me.
I didn't know what it was like, and I thought someone was making trouble for a while. At this time, there were a lot more ideas, because there were a few worshippers in the palace, but they were the most powerful figures back then, but the people were gone.
There are all kinds of ideas in it, which are naturally strange, but it is understandable how depressed and frightened Meng Chang, as the emperor, is.
There was no one else around, only to consult Wang Zhaoyuan, a close confidant. Who will be doing this kind of movement in the city of Chengdu?
Where did Wang Zhaoyuan dare to talk nonsense, because suspicion of everyone would harm the interests of one family, or several families. The Wang family was able to get to where it is today because people saw themselves and gave themselves face after being favored by the emperor's side.
As Wang Zhaoyuan, he is also very smart, and it is no accident that he can reach today's position. He understands a truth, that is, everyone carries the sedan chair. If it is not for the interests of life and death, and attacking others, it will not end well. Today's Chengdu City can be said to be the world of relationships, and the intricate network of relationships between each other has moved a thousand times.
Nowadays, several princes in Chengdu City have no real power, although they are far away from the towns, and they also have some real power in the capital, but they are all inconsequential positions. The military power of Shu is in the hands of the emperor, although it is also the envoy of each town and festival to take charge of the army, but at least the tiger talisman of the transfer of troops is in the hands of the emperor.
Several of the emperor's sons have also been made princes, although they have reached adulthood. But it's not as good as his own princely uncles. Because the emperor has always thought that he can be an emperor for sixty years, he has not yet trained his son to be a prince.
Regarding the emperor's sudden inquiry, he was also stunned for a while. He didn't know how to answer the emperor, but it was obviously not possible not to answer, and when he racked his brains, he suddenly thought of something, which was something that he was afraid of.
It is obvious that the situation outside is unclear, but Wang Zhaoyuan himself has received many urgent reports from various states. said that the average religion everywhere was chaotic and needed the emperor's support to send troops to encircle and suppress, Wang Zhaoyuan still knew it in his heart. This shows that the trouble everywhere is already very serious, that is, the people Wang Zhaoyuan himself sent out to inquire outside the city last time have not heard from him until now.
Seeing the homeless people who rushed into the palace, Wang Zhaoyuan had a flash of inspiration. But it must not be said that it is an average teaching disorder, otherwise I will definitely have to make a big deal. So he turned around and said that there have always been many sectarians in Shudi, and now there are many people in Chengdu City, maybe someone bewitched these homeless people and took the opportunity to pour into the palace.
After Meng Chang calmed down for a while, his mind became clearer, he was not stupid, and he was still very smart even now. I wanted to send someone to find a few Mr. Keqing in the palace, which were the characters left by the emperor to himself, and it is said that they were all good.
But because there was a commotion outside, the tunnel stone door at the entrance of the secret passage did not dare to open for a while, and everyone was only temporarily trapped in the secret passage. This secret passage was built some distance, and it was built by Wang Jian of the previous dynasty, and a lot of property was found later.
However, there is a disadvantage of this secret passage that I don't know if it is designed for a short circuit, and there is only one exit to a certain mountain outside the city. Later, when Meng Chang's father found it, because he activated the treasure of the secret passage, although he got a huge fortune, he also cut off the road to the outside of the city.
I don't know if the first emperor was worried that someone came in from the mountain to the secret passage, and anyway, there was no way out for people to repair the secret passage. I don't know if the first emperor didn't think that he would use this secret passage again, anyway, the secret passage left now is not long. However, there are three stone rooms and a section of corridor, as well as a section of tunnel into the palace.
Therefore, if you want to go out again after entering the secret passage, you must go out from the place where you came. After everyone came in, they didn't think of this, and then they heard the faint shouting of killing outside, and they dared to go out for a while.
The Queen Mother was a little calm, and when she saw that everyone was a little impatient, she reprimanded and comforted everyone. However, everyone didn't know what was going on with the explosion, but this thunderous explosion still made the queen mother blame the emperor fiercely. Although the emperor did not dare to squeak, under the usual prestige of the Queen Mother, and her calm calmness, everyone gradually quieted down.
No one knew what the Queen Mother thought in her heart, but when she saw that Hua Rui didn't come with her, her heart was obviously much more relaxed. She is usually not an ordinary concubine Hua Rui, and Hua Rui is usually very well-behaved in front of her, but I don't know why, after Wang Shen's incident happened, and this mutation was added, the Queen Mother actually faintly blamed Hua Rui in her heart.
The Queen Mother did not accuse Hua Rui in front of the emperor again, after all, she had to take into account the emperor's prestige and face. But I didn't even see Li Yanniang coming over, so I knew that it was a little serious, you must know that Li Yanniang usually has a certain foundation in the palace. If there is no major event in the palace, she will definitely be eager to come out, after all, Concubine Hui has just been reprimanded and punished by herself.
After the torment of noon, the sound in the palace did not seem to stop, and it continued. Naturally, they didn't know that there was no emperor outside, and they were completely out of control. And the homeless people, under the leadership of the average sect, once completely mastered the palace.
Everyone even took people and things together, and Emperor Meng Chang's palace didn't know how many women were taken away, even some of the emperor's minor children were not spared. All kinds of belongings in the palace were looted, and when the people left, they called a fire. Fortunately, no one has ever set fire to this side hall.
Meng Chang naturally didn't know at that time, from the afternoon, Han Chongsui led people to attack, and at first he didn't dare to enter the inner palace, after all, without the emperor's call, who would dare to enter the palace. But after seeing the corpses of many guards and homeless people, Han Chongsui couldn't retreat to find someone for a while, so he only took the risk and led a team of 1,000 people inside.
At this time, the inner treasury had almost been moved by the average sect members, the armory had also been opened, and all kinds of weapons and equipment had been distributed. Reliable congregations lead familiar people, each in a small unit, and the homeless also have formal weapons in their hands. Together, they confronted with the average sect members, not only attacking the poor forbidden army that was already small in the palace, but also carrying supplies.
In a short period of time, not only were the supplies in the palace almost looted, but the morale of the displaced people also soared. Because Qu Quzhi knew that holding these things would only be a big burden, so he took the opportunity to collect money while constantly rewarding him. So in the end, what came into Qu Qu's hands was some of the most practical gold and official silver, and all those copper coins were issued.
Money often unmakes the men who make it! At this time, it is fully embodied. The dissatisfaction that is usually suppressed and constantly accumulated has been completely released on the displaced people at this moment.
Looking at the tragic situation in the palace, Han Chongsui almost couldn't believe his eyes, seeing a trace of fear in the eyes of the soldiers around him, and the greed in the eyes of some people, Han Chongsui knew that if he didn't control it well, he would riot, so he intensified his speed and rushed to the palace.
Although the homeless people are far from being the opponents of the Praetorian Guards, they can't stand the large number of people, and everyone has a standard weapon in their hands, and there are more ants and even bite the elephant to death. The two sides fought in a tug-of-war, and the homeless people retreated if they couldn't fight, but they never withdrew from the palace, so they shuttled through the palace with the guards.
Han Chongsui boldly divided the 1,000 Praetorian guards into three detachments, wanting to encircle and suppress the homeless people everywhere. But he overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian guards around him, and underestimated the greed of these janissaries. When he saw that there were fewer and fewer guards in the three places, and the number of displaced people did not seem to have decreased, Han Chongsui himself was afraid.
In desperation, he had to reunite the three guards, and when he saw that the total number of guards was less than four hundred, many of them were injured. As for these people, they are still usually close to their Han family, or have a relationship, and in the end, Han Chongsui had no choice but to find this side hall.
At this time, it was almost night, Han Chongsui was very anxious, he was also afraid of death. One has no backup, and he finds that there are fewer and fewer people around him. Second, he never found the emperor, and his heart was half cold, thinking that the emperor had been killed, so his action was meaningless.
The reason why Han Chongsui's team was not swallowed was because the average sect did not have much resistance at the beginning, and it was not very systematic. But when he saw that there were not many people around Han Chongsui, Qu Qu who came into the palace in person was sick and led people to launch a counterattack again, especially what worried Han Chongsui was that the homeless people found archers in their hands.
Han Chongsui had no choice but to look for the emperor again in turn, and on the other hand, he fought and retreated, or guerrilla against the exiles.
What Qu Qu couldn't tell people about his illness was that his subordinates had collected the relatives of seven emperors in the palace, and more than ten concubines had been arrested, all of whom had been quietly imprisoned. This is the person personally named by his emperor Liu Jixing, Qu Qubing is being transported out of Chengdu City through a special tunnel.
It is a pity that the emperor Meng Chang has not been found, but Qu Quzhi believes that there will be a secret room in the palace, or that the emperor has been burned to death. But Qu Qu did not give up, and while ordering people to surround Han Chongsui's group, he personally led people to search everywhere.
arranged for people to guard the palace gates that had been blown up everywhere, and even re-filled them, leaving only one west gate. For a whole night, except for the few burned palaces, the rest of the places were searched, even the dead were not spared. After confirming that the emperor and the queen mother were not found, Qu Qu faintly felt that the emperor and his gang should be in this side hall.
Qu Quzhi arranged for his own personal guard general Yang Jinkui to preside, and he went out of the palace to contact Zhong Shicheng, occupying Yongshanfang in the west as a base. Zhong Shicheng obviously also achieved very good results, because there were not many garrisons in the entire Chengdu City, and he usually relied entirely on the City Patrol Division, but now the City Patrol Division was paralyzed.
Zhong Shicheng is simply sweeping with his subordinates, sweeping street by street, district by district. However, it was strictly forbidden to disturb the people, and violators were immediately pardoned. So from afternoon to evening, although there were explosions everywhere in the city of Chengdu, and chickens and dogs jumped, the people were not greatly affected.
After the empress dowager scolded the emperor for a while, she heard someone say that the palace suddenly caught fire, and the voice of summoning the emperor came from outside, so she didn't rebuke the emperor again. Knowing that someone really rebelled, I was afraid that the emperor's whereabouts were being searched.
Fortunately, there are some emergency food reserves in the secret passage, but there are not many and they can't be cooked, so they can only be eaten raw. For these people who usually eat and drink, it is definitely not very good, but who still cares at this time.
Under the service of the loyal slave Zhao Zhong, everyone grinded some grains and rice, used some food, and drank a little water. The body recovered a little, but the heart was already full of fear. I don't know why it suddenly became like this, although when I heard the voice of the summoning emperor, no one dared to squeak for a while.
Because at that time, the emergency began, everyone only knew to escape, Meng Chang had not yet made adjustments, and the guards in the palace had no way to enter the inner palace. Later, there were fires everywhere, and even shouted to kill the people who poured in, and everyone was frightened for a while.
Later, he came into the side hall, and when the old slave Zhao Zhong remembered it, he reminded the emperor to summon the guards to come in and escort him. But when he sent out a few eunuchs, he didn't know if he was killed or he ran away secretly, and he never came back to restore his life.
When the emperor ran to the secret passage of the side hall together, there were a lot of palace ladies and inner servants, and the outside was already shouting and killing and rushing to the sky. Everyone trembled, and saw countless homeless people rushing into the palace through the pane, burning and looting everywhere. I also saw many guards killing people and grabbing treasures, competing for money with the homeless.
Thinking that there are still outcasts outside, or those guards who have turned against the sky, although they are summoning the emperor at this time, who dares to squeak.
Thinking about it at the time, everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of the emperor, and the palace was in chaos. In the end, Wang Zhaoyuan reminded him, and the emperor took the queen mother to hide in the secret passage in time, otherwise I was afraid that everyone would have suffered a long time ago. Although the emperor's hiding was safe, it also made the palace completely fall, and he didn't know the situation in the palace.
The guards who originally came to escort were at a loss after not finding the emperor, and now they are being chased by the exiles, although they are summoning the emperor and fighting at the same time. Seeing the presumptuousness and madness of the homeless, coupled with the fact that there was no result after a match, and there were more and more homeless people, many people seemed to have a little twisted in their hearts, either running away or changing.
The emperor closed his eyes, thinking of those who had been transformed into homeless guards, and took the lead in snatching them up with the homeless, from gold, silver and jewelry to the beauties in the palace, Emperor Meng Chang almost went crazy. No one can tell who is the robber and who is the one who really came in to stir up the situation.
Without an emperor's palace, it suddenly became a vanity fair and a slaughterhouse!
So the summoning of the emperor was simply digging into the emperor's heart, Meng Chang's heart was dripping blood, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to feel that someone was cutting his head with a knife.
In the end, it was the Queen Mother who came to the conclusion that after Han Chongsui's people were trapped in the side hall, the Queen Mother decided to take the risk of coming out. The emperor had no choice but to open the secret passage, but it was already midnight at this time.
After seeing Han Chongsui, for Meng Chang's safety, he was arranged to go down to the secret passage again. But neither he nor Han Chongsui knew it, because of his fear of death and panic, the three palace gates of the inner palace were blocked by Qu Qu's illness, and Han Chongsui's people and himself were besieged again.
Wang Zhaoyuan was arranged to assist Han Chongsui outside, but seeing the besieged refugees on the inner and outer three floors, Wang Zhaoyuan was even more frightened than Meng Chang in his heart. After all, there are corpses everywhere, blood and ** everywhere. Looking at Han Chongsui with a tired face, Wang Zhaoyuan's heart was cold.
"Your Majesty!" A slight sound of footsteps came, and Zhao Zhong's hoarse voice sounded carefully. He has been at the entrance of the tunnel, responsible for the communication of the outside and inside.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and saw Zhao Zhong looking at the indifferent emperor with a pale face, the Queen Mother felt a pain in her heart, sat up and said calmly: "What's wrong!" ”
Seeing that the emperor did not react, Zhao Zhong saluted the Empress Dowager and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the Empress Dowager, now the three adults Li Hao, Chu Tuo, and Zhao Chongtao are outside!" ”
"What!" The emperor, who had been in a daze, suddenly got up and glared at Zhao Zhong: "Don't hurry up and call them in!" Meng Chang actually had a hint of joy on his face, and it seemed that his whole face was a little flushed, and when he suddenly heard his courtiers coming, he almost fainted.
Zhao Zhong grabbed the emperor, looked at Meng Chang with an expectant face, and even got a little angry, he let go, fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Meng Chang looked at Zhao Zhong inexplicably, and the anger on his face was about to soar.
The queen mother's heart was cold, and the whole person almost fell on the couch, seeing that the emperor was about to go violent, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and said quietly: "The emperor ,,,,,,! ”
Meng Chang was extremely filial, turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother couldn't help but burst into tears, Meng Chang faintly felt inappropriate, and couldn't help but know where the strength came from, grabbed Zhao Zhong, and actually lifted him up: "What's the matter, you say it quickly,,,,,,! ”
"Your Majesty's condolences! The three adults were captured by the thieves, and they were all outside the palace involuntarily, and the thieves wanted His Majesty to go out! Zhao Zhong lay on the ground again, cried loudly, and kept knocking his head on the ground, and the blood quickly stained his face: "Slaves are dead, talentless and incompetent, and they can't protect the emperor!" ”
Meng Chang was stunned!
He didn't know what others were saying, his mind was at a loss, and he vaguely heard the voice of the Queen Mother crying. But all this seemed to have nothing to do with him, Zhao Zhong lay on the ground and couldn't stop crying and kowtowing.
Meng Chang's footsteps involuntarily walked out, not far from the tunnel, but he seemed to have walked through thousands of mountains and rivers. The people around him came to help, but he didn't feel it at all. The dazzling light outside the tunnel pierced my eyes, and I couldn't help but get wet.
There was still a voice in his ears, but he was shouting: "Down with Meng Chang, down with the Meng dynasty, Meng Chang came out and surrendered!" ”
How did Meng Chang come out of the tunnel, he didn't know! But looking at the guards kneeling on the ground in the side hall, Han Chongsui and Wang Zhaoyuan stood at the door of the hall, looking at themselves blankly. The door of the temple was slightly open, and the outside was full of ragged homeless people, and three people stood in front of them.
Meng Chang looked over, his eyes were hazy, and his body fainted.
History: On May 6 of the first year of the Great Han Dynasty, Emperor Shu was captured in the inner palace of Chengdu, and Li Hao came forward to negotiate on his behalf, and Qu Qu was sick and detained the emperor in Changchun Palace! Emperor Shu was captured, Chengdu City was surrendered everywhere, and Chengdu City was liberated. Zhong Shicheng led people to recover Chengdu City and sent people to guard the four gates. Qu went to teach 16 generals on average, assisted Zhong Shi to guard the four gates, and the pattern of Chengdu City has been completed.
On 7 May, the garrison outside Chengdu tried to save the driver, but a mutiny broke out in the barracks, and 17 of the principal and deputy generals were suddenly poisoned and died. Half of the Shu soldiers fled, and some of the soldiers were summoned by Zhao Wenliang, the princess of Jincheng, with a tiger talisman, and surrendered outside the north gate.
On May 8, Wei Yiren led his army into Chengdu City!
