My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 390: Once at Liang Palace, once at Xia Palace

This time the soldiers entered the palace, it was completely different from the previous Wei and Qi.

At present, there were only more than 3,000 Youyan and Xiliang soldiers entering the palace without any restraint. The guards and eunuchs could hardly escape the slashing blade.

After all, all civil and military officials came forward to fight, and the Liang clan also joined the battle. This shows how determined Su Chen is to fight to the end. Naturally, among the guards and eunuchs in the palace, there will also be Tuoba Kui's confidants lurking in the palace. , hiding in the dark waiting for revenge.

When the screams came from all over the palace, Su Chen lost his energy, and the whistling wind around him gradually disappeared. Wu Zixun, who stepped forward cautiously, held the handkerchief in both hands and handed it to the emperor. As a person around him, he I also didn't expect that Su Chen's martial arts skills were ridiculously high.

Su Chen took the handkerchief, casually wiped the blood on his hand, and asked someone to collect the remains on the ground. He raised his hand and waved: "Follow me into the palace!" Then he strode up the stone steps, stepping on the corpses of the clan members. , walked into the main hall in front of them, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu and others followed.

"In the future, all these palaces should be demolished. There is no need to leave any memories for the people of Liang. Whatever is useful in the palace should be dismantled and transported back to the north."

Entering the hall, compared with the decorations in the Central Plains and the north, it looks rough and bold. Corresponding to the customs of the northwest, the carvings are mostly auspicious clouds and Buddhas. In addition to gold, white also occupies the color of many carvings in the Golden Hall.

The northwest side believes more in Buddhism. In Guangfu City in the Central Plains, Guan Yu and Liang General Xi Feng Yunshu fought against each other, and they knew something about each other from the war armor and Bai Rong uniforms on each other's bodies.

In the hall, there were four rock pillars hugged by two people, standing on both sides in a circular shape, extending towards the imperial steps. Su Chen strode through the middle, raising his head from time to time to look at the carvings on these pillars.

"It's a bit like the Western style. Well, I can't say there is a more Western style."

As a person of later generations, I have seen many Western architectural style groups on the Internet, and I never expected to see something familiar again in the northwest of this world.

"This is the junction of east and west. It's a bit like the Yumen Pass area in the Han Dynasty. I still know a little bit about it, haha." Dong Zhuo, as an out-and-out Xiliang native, naturally knew the role of Yumen Pass.

At this moment, everyone is wearing Chinese-style armor and walking in this large hall that combines Chinese and Western styles. It seems that there are different races and different civilizations in an instant, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Xiang Yu is also looking at these carvings carefully. He has experienced a lot, and his vision and mentality are extremely broad. Now that he is in such an environment, his heart will change to some extent.

But it can't be described in words.

The emperor is gone, the clan has been destroyed, the palace is still in the cleaning stage, and all kinds of noisy sounds are still coming from all over the palace.

Naturally, everyone still had the leisure to walk around and take a look. After leaving the apse, a few soldiers holding swords over there saw the emperor approaching and straightened their backs quickly. One of them held the sword in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, After all the guards were killed, the eunuchs only left a group of old ones."

Su Chen withdrew his gaze, nodded towards the soldiers who were reporting, and continued to move forward, dragging his cloak. Along the way, other lieutenants and generals came to report.

However, when he heard that the Queen Mother Zhao Xifeng, as well as the queen and concubines had committed suicide by taking poison, Su Chen was silent for a while and his heart sank.

Generally speaking, except for Zhao Xifeng, he would not embarrass other women, such as the maids in the palace, and he told the soldiers not to come by force.

"When a dynasty falls, the most innocent ones are the maids and concubines in the harem. When the majestic king dies, he dies, so why bother dragging them to be buried with him and sent to a nunnery, where the ancient Buddha's green lantern is better than letting him die in vain."

Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Lu Bu nodded in agreement, but then Li Jue turned his head and asked, "What is a nunnery?"

"Haha, men become monks and women become nuns, commonly known as nuns."

Li Jue nodded thoughtfully, "That would be even more of a pity."

Most likely, he still had to go to the harem to see the body of the Queen Mother Zhao Xifeng. Su Chen led a group of generals and walked through the exotic-style palace of Liang State. They walked through a long palace road and entered the palace. Behind the inner courtyard, there was another pass, which was guarded by Xiliang soldiers. When they saw the generals accompanying the emperor, they straightened their backs and clenched their arms.

Further inside, from time to time you can see searching soldiers coming out of various halls and attics, or dragging hacked corpses and stacking them together, waiting for their colleagues to come and load them.

Soon, the sound of scolding came from the front, and more than a dozen old eunuchs were pushed and rushed here by the soldiers. However, these old eunuchs kept crying and begging the Xia soldiers coming and going to be careful and don't do anything. Destroy the decorations in the temple.

"Why are you crying? Your emperor was torn apart by my Majesty's hands. From now on, this will be the Xia Palace, my emperor's palace."

"Damn, the eunuch's crying sound is so damn unpleasant. If he cries again, I'll kill you too!"

Several soldiers yelled and pulled out their steel knives and made ferocious gestures of slashing at them. Seeing the six or seven old eunuchs holding their heads in fear, they burst into laughter.

Immediately, their smiles faded, and they quickly bowed with their swords in hand: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Su Chen led the generals past, glanced at the eunuch in front of the soldiers, and waved: "Bring one here to be your guide."

"Yes!"

One of the soldiers casually grabbed an older-looking eunuch and dragged him here, and left respectfully.

Su Chen looked the other person up and down: "Can you speak Yan Guo dialect?"

"Your Majesty, the servants will meet!"

The eunuch lowered his eyebrows in response, his body shivering uneasily. If Empress Dowager Liang was still alive, she would definitely recognize that this eunuch was Tuoba Kui's companion. However, even Tuoba Kui didn't know that he could speak the Yan language.

"Lead the way to your Queen Mother's residence."

After hearing the instructions from the Emperor of Xia Kingdom, the eunuch lowered his head and responded with a high-pitched voice. He then walked half a step slowly beside Dian Wei and introduced the names of the main hall and attic in the back garden to everyone. It was because I was afraid and I didn’t dare to hide anything. I even told him in detail how many concubines he had lived with. "You know the Chinese dialect of Yan very well." When passing through a crescent gate in the back garden, Jia Xu, who had arrived at an unknown time, spoke sadly from behind the team.

This sudden sentence startled the generals in front and Su Chen. They turned their heads to look at Jia Xu, who had come over at some unknown time. The latter smiled faintly and walked to the front to greet him, but his eyes fell on the eunuch. On the body.

The old eunuch quickly lowered his head and knelt on the ground: "This slave is a native of the Yan Kingdom since he was a child. He went to the grassland with his father to do business when he was a child. He was captured by the Xirong people. Later he resold him everywhere and came to the northwest again. When he was desperate, he had to go to the palace to work. Eunuch.”

Su Chen looked at Jia Xu suspiciously. Jia Xu just smiled faintly and did not continue to ask the other party. Instead, he asked Su Chen to move on.

When we arrived at Zhao Xifeng's main hall, I guess it was because he had not forgotten his homeland. The interior decoration was similar to that of the Central Plains. The old woman's body was still lying on the bed, her face was gray, her lips were blue, and her limbs were stiff.

"She has more backbone than her sister."

Su Chen took a look and asked Wu Zixun to call a few soldiers, "Give her body a good burial. The queen and the concubines will make a list and let their relatives outside the palace take it back for burial."

Wu Zixun also sighed and followed the emperor on expeditions. He originally thought he was used to seeing these things, but the more he saw them, the more sentimental he became.

Soon Zhao Xifeng's body was carried away, and the concubines of all sizes in the harem were also carried away from the palace, and were pulled away in the car by the soldiers.

Su Chen calmed down and walked through the long corridors and gardens. The back hall seemed quiet. He also saw the garden of the Empress Dowager Liang and Tuoba Kui's study.

There are many bookshelves inside, mostly with books from the Central Plains, and there are paintings from famous Central Plains artists on the walls.

"Your Majesty... the late emperor was also a man of great talent and strategy, but he also liked paintings by famous artists in the Central Plains. In the years since he ascended the throne, he even spent a lot of money to send people to the Central Plains to invite famous artists to paint a painting with his name." The old eunuch As Tuoba Kui's first companion, he is quite familiar with everything here.

"...There are also many military books and classics of sages on the shelf. After handling government affairs every day, the late emperor would read them for an hour in the study, and sometimes he would stay up until late at night."

As the old eunuch went from famous paintings to military books to Tuoba Kui's life, Su Chen was surprised. He only knew that this man had been following the example of the Central Plains in military reform, but he did not expect that he would also be highly respected in life. Central Plains culture.

The generals behind him felt that these paintings were quite good. They were similar to the ink paintings in his previous life. Zhao Yun touched the paint on them. "The famous painters here are quite interesting, but the heat is a bit low. He must have been tricked."

Dian Wei on the side crossed his arms and replied: "You also know this?"

"Haha, I have been living with Yide for a long time, and I often hear a lot about painting."

The study room was not big, and Zhao Yun's words echoed clearly in everyone's ears. As he spoke, he laughed: "The third brother's paintings of beautiful ladies are very good. There was one in the house in Shu that made Yun Lu It’s being collected.”

Dian Wei crossed his arms, frowned, and suddenly Zhang Fei's image appeared in his mind. He sat in front of the easel with a paintbrush, and concentrated on sketching the outline of the lady, and suddenly shuddered.

"This Yide is a dark, rough man who is willing to fight hard and learn to draw women."

Naturally, everyone listened and burst into laughter. Xiang Yu also laughed. For some reason, getting along with the group of people in front of him was better than that of being with the old brothers in the army. Much more comfortable.

Perhaps no one here fears him too much, and no one forces him to become king.

"King Xiang."

Lu Bu looked at Xiang Yu with a smile on his face and pointed to the big cloak on his body, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's not good to wear this. There is a master named Wang in the back camp of the army. He is good at needlework. My brocade He made the robe at his discretion, and when the water subsides, I will ask him to make a new one for King Xiang."

Amidst the babble of words, everyone will come out of the study.

After Su Chen came out, he no longer had the interest to continue shopping. He took a good rest for a few days and waited for the flood outside the city to recede before starting to deal with Liang Guo.

"When the water recedes, tell the world that the north will be completely unified. Give Wu and Yue some eye drops and see how they react. After all, they will be next."

Walking out of here, stepping on the dappled sunlight on the ground, Su Chen suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the old eunuch who was following closely.

"I forgot to ask you something, how far is Fuyun Mountain from here?"

"Back...back to Your Majesty, it is more than three hundred miles away, in the mountains to the west." The eunuch bowed, not daring to raise his face, and replied: "Although it is more than three hundred miles away, the mountain road is difficult and the army cannot enter the mountain. "

Su Chen said softly. The reason why he asked this question was that he wanted to find the so-called old immortal's residence, and he was a little worried about whether Zhang Jiao went to the west with him.

What if the old Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost deceived him?

Su Chen walked forward again, followed by Xiang Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Jia Xu and others.

"Send someone to the northeast to inform An Lushan that there is no need to fight. Let the rebels under his command contact the tribes of Liang and tell them that Emperor Liang is dead. I will not pursue the remaining crimes, but they will come to the west capital to see me. !

In addition, the West Route Army also immediately sent people over to inform this side of the situation. After the flood recedes, they will return to the West! Okay, generals, you can rest, but don’t let your guard down! "

Su Chen, who was walking and talking, spoke very fast. After giving the order, he went to stay in the front hall regardless of whether Wu Zixun could remember it or not.
