Chapter 299: Enthronement
The cold wind eroded in gusts, and the clouds were thick in the air, and the Suzhou army entered Chang'an for a while, and there was a team of personal soldiers to escort Yun Yao into the city.
When Yun Yao entered the city, he did not enter through the blasted city wall, but through the open city gate.
She was originally sitting in the carriage, but as soon as she entered Chang'an, she smelled a very thick bloody smell.
Yun Yao, who had experienced countless wars, didn't understand why, she put on a mink fur and asked someone to stop, and jumped out of the car without helping anything.
The moment Yun Yao got out of the car, snowflakes drifted in the sky.
Yun Yao stood on the ground, raised her eyes and looked around, and was shocked by what she saw in front of her, followed by a heavy heartache.
On both sides of the road in Chang'an City, many people's corpses were dumped, men, women and children, talented toddlers were cut in two with knives, young women's clothes were torn, revealing bruises and purple marks, young men with beheaded men, and old people with their necks broken......
"Ma'am."
A personal soldier came over and looked at Yun Yao cautiously, for fear that Yun Yao would be frightened by this scene: "It's cold outside, you still want to get in the car." ”
Yun Yao waved her hand: "It's okay, I'm still walking outside." ”
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the teahouse not far away and said calmly: "I used to come there with my husband to drink tea earlier, and there is a tea doctor who is very good at dividing tea, and the stories told by the storyteller are also very exciting. ”
While speaking, Yun Yao took a few steps forward, squatted down under the teahouse, and whispered to a middle-aged man who was lying on the side with broken limbs and obviously in pain: "I learned tea from you earlier, but I didn't expect to see you for more than three years, but now I ...... see you again."
Yun Yao stretched out her hand, closed the man's eyes and slowly got up: "Don't worry, your revenge, the revenge of the people of Chang'an, will be avenged one day, and the king of the county will definitely make Beiliang pay double the price for this." ”
Taking two more steps forward, Yun Yao saluted the corpse of a young woman who fell on the side of the road: "Originally, I said that I wanted to eat the fish soup you made, but it was just ...... I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat that authentic fish soup again. ”
Turning around, Yun Yao asked someone to take out a piece of clothing from the carriage and put it on lightly for the **** woman.
She said to the soldiers behind her while dressing: "Her family's fish soup is authentic, she gets up early every day to buy fresh fish outside the city, and comes back to make fish soup with her husband, the little couple is very affectionate, I remember that there is a pair of children who are also smart and cute, others say that she is blessed, and she will save the family business for her son to marry a good daughter-in-law, and marry her daughter to a good family, and be an old feudal king at home when she is old, but now she is ......"
Yun Yao said unhurriedly, put on the woman's clothes, and smoothed them out.
A few of the young soldiers behind her couldn't see such a miserable appearance, and they turned their heads and burst into tears.
Yun Yao helped the woman put on her clothes and smiled: "I know you can't give up your father-in-law's children, I'll help you find it, how about burying your family?" ”
After Yun Yao finished speaking, she saw the woman's father-in-law and children, her father-in-law protected a pair of children and fell to the ground, her stomach was broken by a knife, her intestines flowed all over the ground, and her children were also beheaded.
I don't know why, Yun Yao's eyes were shining, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she forced a laugh: "I found it, but they don't look good, I'll ask someone to clean it up and you can look at it again." ”
"Ma'am." A personal soldier was afraid that Yun Yao would freeze, so he hurriedly went over and whispered: "You go and sit in the car, and leave these things to us." ”
Yun Yao hugged Dayu and shook her head with a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just here to watch, you guys...... It's good to help their family rein. ”
"Yes." Several pro-soldiers used to ask for the corpse of the woman's husband, but Yun Yao turned around and took out a needle and thread from the carriage and handed it to the pro-soldiers: "Help him sew his stomach and connect the child's head." ”
However, there was a pro-soldier who could sew clothes roughly, and when he was at home, he also helped the family knit sweaters and pants, and he thought that his skills were still good, so he took the needle and thread to help the family sew up the corpse.
Yun Yao looked at it, her face was solemn, there was a bit of holy light on her face, standing in the snow, it was even more obvious that the whole person was safe and clean.
When the pro-soldiers collected the corpse of this family, Yun Yao suddenly spoke, singing a song that no one else could understand, the song was sad but sacred, she sang as she walked forward, and a large number of lyrics that others didn't know what they meant came out, and those pro-soldiers listened to it, and they only felt that it was really good, and after listening to it for a long time, it was as if people's souls had been purified.
What Yun Yao sang was a song to pray for the relatives of the dead comrades-in-arms after the war in the interstellar era, this song conveyed the sorrow of the living to the dead, as well as good wishes, the most sacred prayer before.
She sang slowly, just like this, all the way over, the song was not loud, but it spread far away, and after singing for a while, some of the soldiers behind her were already crying.
After a while, some people came out from both sides of the market, their faces full of grief and grief, and when they came out, they spontaneously picked up the corpses that had fallen on the side of the road, and carefully picked them up, as if they would disturb the rest of the souls of the dead.
Yun Yao walked all the way, and when she reached the cold, her feet were numb, her lips were bruised, her singing voice was dumb, and when she couldn't stand it anymore, she finally stopped.
"Ma'am." A pro-soldier stepped forward.
Yun Yao forced a laugh: "This body is too bad, I can't stand it in the end, I'll sit in the carriage for a while, you can help collect the corpses of these people, after all, they are the most innocent, and that's the only thing we can do for them." ”
The pro-soldier agreed loudly, and Yun Yao entered the carriage to rest.
She had already frozen, and she shivered all over her body when she entered the carriage, Yun Yao didn't call anyone, she took the stove and hugged it, and drank several cups of hot tea to relieve her strength.
After waiting for the warmth on her body, Yun Yao lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw that the snow outside was even bigger, and many Chang'an people had come out of hiding to help her own soldiers collect the corpses of the deceased.
Feeling the cold wind outside, Yun Yao called a personal soldier to come and found some silver from the carriage for him, and told him to quickly buy some ginger and brown sugar to boil some ginger syrup to ward off the cold.
After the soldiers went, it didn't take long for some people to set up a cauldron in the street, and burned firewood underneath, and a large pot of water was boiling, and a lot of ginger slices and brown sugar were placed in it.
When the water was boiled, someone had already served a bowl to Yun Yao, and Yun Yao took it and drank it without hesitation.
After that, the pro-soldiers and the people were silent, silently lining up to drink sugar water.
After a while, more and more people gathered, everyone didn't cry loudly, just silent, the corners of their eyes and faces were full of tears to put on the **** woman's clothes, and found the corpse of the person who was divided into one place, and the tragic person was tidy, and the dead bodies on the street were cleaned up steadily and quickly.
There were not enough coffins, so everyone had to take a mat or quilt or something to roll up the corpses and put them aside, and when a pot of ginger syrup was drunk and then boiled again, the streets were lined with rows of corpses.
Yun Yao's throat choked when she saw it, she wiped the cold tears on her face, and called two personal soldiers to drive her to the Qi family's house in Ping'anfang.
Yun Yao still remembered the tragic death of Princess Changle and Qi Juma, as well as Princess Anyang and Princess Fengyang, she said that she would never break her promise if she wanted to build the best coffin to bury them.
Zichen Palace
The little eunuch looked at the military generals who had not yet retired, knelt in front of Han Xin with a plop, snorted a few heads, and when he looked up again, his forehead was bruised: "Prince, now that the Northern Liang has taken the Great Zhou royal family away, Chang'an City is afraid that there will be no one in the royal family except for the prince, and the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, slaves, slaves, and slaves ask the prince to ascend the throne on a certain day, so as to rectify Chang'an, and take our Great Zhou people to the north for revenge." ”
As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, Qi Jing lifted his robe and knelt on the ground to salute: "Lord, the country can be without a king for a day, and please ask the prince to ascend the throne." ”
Yu Long was even more simply, and went directly to the inner room to pull a yellow robe and drape it on Han Xin's body, and helped him to the throne: "Lord Wang, please choose a day to ascend the throne." ”
A group of civil and military ministers knelt on the ground: "Lord, please ask the prince to choose a day to ascend the throne." ”
"This ......" Han Xin's face was full of embarrassment, he got up from the throne and raised his hand: "You, you hurry up, my father is still here, there are still the crown prince and all the royal brothers, how can I ascend the throne and become the emperor, this, isn't this trapping me in injustice." ”
Qi Jing didn't get up, knelt on the ground and looked directly at Han Xin: "Lord, Your Majesty and the princes were taken captive by Beiliang, I'm afraid they won't be able to save them for a while, if the prince doesn't ascend the throne and doesn't claim the emperor, what will happen to the Great Zhou world?" Could it be that the prince wants to see the Great Zhou become a plate of loose sand? Do you remember the three princesses and the horses that jumped from the castle tower? Do you still remember the heads of the people of Chang'an hanging on the tower of the city when you entered the city? The women and children who died on both sides of the street? How innocent did they die so miserably? Their ghosts watched from the sky, hoping that the prince would avenge them, if the prince did not call the emperor, how could he avenge their blood hatred? ”
Yu Long wiped a handful of tears: "Lord Wang, Princess Pingyang's corpse has not yet returned from Beiliang, aren't you going to bring her back to Da Zhou?" Princess Changle is crying......"
It's okay to say anything else, but at the mention of Princess Pingyang, Han Xin almost shed tears.
He gritted his teeth, turned around and sat down on the throne: "Okay, I listen to you, I will ascend the throne and become the emperor." ”
"Knock on my emperor, long live long live long live."
Qi Jing led people to kneel down and bow down three times and bow nine times.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The officials and soldiers below also knelt and saluted.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The Suzhou soldiers outside the hall bowed and knelt down.
Not far away, the remaining eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down in tears.
"Flat." Han Xin raised his hand, and he looked at Qi Bao Box: "Lady, please work harder, take people to collect the concubines who died tragically in the palace, and then register the living people in the palace, settle the dead, and clean up the palaces." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Baobox bowed slightly, and dragged the little eunuch out of Zichen Palace.
Han Xin looked at Qi Jing again: "Qi Qing, I ordered you to be the prime minister temporarily, to investigate the surviving courtiers of Chang'an for me, and to operate the six good students, if there is a vacancy, you can directly appoint it." ”
"Yes." Qi Jing was ordered to retreat.
Since Han Xin made up his mind to ascend the throne and become the emperor, he took the righteousness, and he issued one decree after another, and the people below all took the orders and left. (To be continued.) )
