Chapter 270: Purgatory on Earth
The city had cooled down, and those who could survive had fled out of the city. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. The smoke in the center of the city had also cleared, and the scene there was somewhat blurred into view.
The center of the city has been reduced to nothingness, and the buildings and buildings have become yesterday's yellow flowers, and now there is only a large pit there, and the surrounding area is dark.
With the royal mansion as the center, there are no living creatures around, and even the buildings that should have stood there have been razed to the ground.
Wang Ziyu entered here with a team of improvised soldiers.
When they saw the situation at the scene, they couldn't calm down for a long time
"This is heaven's punishment, this is heaven's punishment," said a timid soldier.
The soldiers around him were the same, one by one they moved closer to the middle, wanting to huddle together to keep warm, they were afraid, and they could finally have some sense of security when they were together
Ruined walls, dead grass and trees, and even enduring flames everywhere
Wang Ziyu found the remains of the Wang family according to the direction in his memory.
There is no longer the magnificent scene of the beginning, and there is no scene of people coming and going.
All that remains today are stumps and broken arms, rubble and dead wood.
None of them survived the catastrophe
The whole scene seemed to have lost its color, and it was filled with flying ashes.
There was still a strange smell in the air, and if you smell it carefully, it seems to be very similar to something I smelled in Chang'an
firecrackers
Yes, it's the smell, but can firecrackers be like that?
In the Wang family's mansion, there was not a single survivor. Even the people around them did not survive and turned into ashes
His grandfather, father, mother, younger brother, and grandmother are gone
And I happened to enter the city at that time
Why
Here's why
"Ah" Wang Ziyu looked up to the sky and roared, complaining of the pain in his heart. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
"Poof"
"Childe" Yuji has seen bloody scenes and killed many people, but this scene on the ruins of the Wang family
The most fatal thing now is not that the people in the Wang family's nest are dead, but that Wang Ziyu can't stand the blow and vomits blood
"Childe, you don't have anything to do" Yu Ji held Wang Ziyu in her arms, turned her head and shouted to the crooked soldiers behind her: "Come here"
The soldiers already knew Wang Ziyu's identity, and they stepped forward one after another, lifted Wang Ziyu up with all hands and feet, and hurriedly rushed out of the city.
I can't stay here anymore
The same is true of purgatory on earth
The high-level leaders of Taiyuan City can be said to have been wiped out at this time, and there is no one who even presides over the overall situation.
Only those people in the middle and lower ranks are left, who are anxious about their own affairs at this time, and who can take care of other things.
When the group of soldiers who followed Wang Ziyu into the city came out, some people who wanted to go in but were afraid surrounded them and inquired about the situation inside
When they heard that it had become a purgatory on earth, they wailed one by one. But when I heard that it was only the part in the middle of the city that had an accident, I was thankful.
At this time, no one cares about others, just hopes that it will not affect themselves.
Three days later, news from Taiyuan reached the capital
The court was in chaos, and it was not unheard of in the past few years when the earth dragon turned over, but the earth dragon turned over in such a place, and they had never heard of it
Wang Zhonghe had already collapsed at home, and the direct members of the Wang family and even some people related to the Wang family were unable to get up
The ancestral house of the Wang family was wiped out, and the head of the Wang family received a boxed lunch early without even showing his face
For a while, the entire Datang was talking about this matter, some said that this was punished by heaven, some said that this was retribution, and some said that it was revenge but could not say the reason. Because no one can explain why this is happening, and it's so bizarre
In the Taiji Palace, the ministers had already put aside the political affairs they were going to discuss today, and this matter obviously attracted their attention even more.
The ministers were gossiping, spitting was flying, and the entire Taiji Hall was like a vegetable market, chaotic
And Li Er, who was sitting at the top, had no mind to talk about the government at this time.
When he heard the report from the Hundred Horsemen, he saw that the Hundred Horsemen had written clearly about the events before and after the incident. Li Er thought of a terrible thing, something that could endanger the stability of Datang and endanger his comfort
The description in the report was very similar to the scene he had seen half a month ago
The scene that day was not as horrific as it was described in this recital, but it was certainly not wrong
The smell of gunpowder in the air, the sound of the explosion at the time of the incident, and the situation at the scene after the incident all reminded Li Er that Ding Yi did all this
Li Er was scared, this was the first time in his life that he was afraid
When he took the throne before, he was not afraid of this time
He was really scared
Creeps
And he also remembered what Ding Yi once said: "There is something that can kill thousands of people in an instant, and it is even more terrifying"
He saw it, he really saw it, although he had never been to Taiyuan, but he had imagined the scene there from the recital of the Hundred Horsemen
Ding Yi, why did he do this?
Looking at the courtiers arguing endlessly, Li Er's thoughts flew and he flew to Shiping
"Retreat" Chen Hong saw Li Er get up and leave, and hurriedly shouted.
The ministers in the hall were all stunned, what was the matter, how did Your Majesty go to such a big matter, no matter what
The main lord is gone, and although they are curious, they can only retreat.
However, after exiting the Taiji Palace, one by one they pulled colleagues to discuss the matter.
It's too big for people to understand
The Wang family is tantamount to being taken to the old nest
The whole clan was up and down, and only those who were outside were left
In this matter, they can talk about Zhenguan for five years
And the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo, Cheng Yanjin and others all teamed up to walk to the Lizheng Hall in the palace.
Because there, there is the emperor who is waiting there.
They also saw the emperor's loss of consciousness above the court, and there may be some shocking secret hidden behind this
Several people arrived outside the Lizheng Palace, but were stopped outside by Chen Hong.
Chen Hong, as the person who accompanied Li Er to watch the explosives that day, also guessed a loss.
"Your Majesty, the minister Sun Wuji asks to see you"
"The courtier's room Xuanling asks to see"
"Ministers and Wei ask for an audience"
"Chen Du Ruyan asks to see"
"Minister"
No matter how much they shouted, there was no movement in the hall, and they did not give up, and waited for His Majesty to summon them.
I don't know how long I waited, but a tired voice came from the hall: "Come in"
Several people glanced at each other and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.
When they entered the Lizheng Palace, they saw Li Shimin sitting decadently behind the imperial case, with a sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty".
"Let's sit down first"
