Chapter 118: Searching for Someone
At noon that day, the Anping palace was surrounded by the forbidden army. When Princess Du Meijuan of Anping saw someone from the palace, she guessed that King Anping had been defeated. With tears in his eyes, he calmly drank the wine given by the palace and poured it into the room where he was married to King Anping.
Early the next morning, the news that King Anping and Chen Zhaoran forced the palace to rebel came out. With the two of them in prison, none of the officials involved in this incident were spared.
Chen Guifei cried and shouted to see the emperor for the last time, but was stopped outside by the palace people. That night, Father-in-law Tai took someone to send Chen Guifei on her last journey with wine.
A generation of favorite concubines has since ended the rise and fall of her harem for many years!
Du Guogong's Yue family, as the king of Anping, was naturally not spared, except for the eldest son Du Yaosheng, who killed enemies far away in the north, and the second daughter Du Meifang, who escaped from the cell as a prisoner and disappeared, everyone in Du Mansion was exiled to Lingnan. Mrs. Du Wei couldn't bear the blow and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff during exile.
The Wei family, who married Chen Zhaoran's daughter as a daughter-in-law, was also affected, and because of their in-law relationship with the Chen family, the father and son were dismissed and exiled. Mrs. Wei's wife Liu was unbearable, and treated her daughter-in-law badly all day long, and Wei Ke's wife, Chen Qingqing, could not bear the charge of being the daughter of a rebellious minister, and committed suicide in her room with a white silk. Afterwards, Liu's family took away the only remaining finances in his family and disappeared in Chang'an.
In the end, the entire Wei family was left with only the elderly old lady Wei alone in the empty house.
This rebellion not only destroyed a king of Anping, but also caused many century-old wang clans to disappear in an instant
On the night of the rebellion, Cheng Chuyang led the people of the Yamen to work with the martial princes of all streets to clean up the rebels who were in rebellion everywhere, and they were also busy until dawn. Due to the limited manpower, both officers and soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties. It wasn't until Ding'an waited for reinforcements to take over the security in the city that Cheng Chuyang and others dragged their tired bodies back to the yamen.
When they arrived at the yamen, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
The iconic gate of Jingzhao Mansion has existed for several generations and has fallen to the ground, the walls have collapsed and the houses have collapsed, and there are even traces of burning in many places, and white smoke is even emitting from many corners.
Cheng Chuyang, who was already exhausted, suddenly felt as if he had collapsed. He wanted to hurry inside, but his legs were heavy and he didn't obey the call. It took half a move before he took a few steps.
All the officials who followed him back were also frightened, and it was obvious that the situation in front of them had begun shortly after they left the palace at night.
Thinking about Lord Cheng and Gan Lin who stayed behind to guard the yamen at that time, all of them panicked!
Cheng Chuyang tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart, and eagerly led people to look inside. The further you go in, the cooler your heart becomes.
None of the residences in the back courtyards are intact. As far as the eye can see, there are broken walls and ruins. Collapsed beams, blackened cloisters, shattered tiles...... All of this dealt a serious blow to Cheng Chuyang's newly built courage.
Looking at the plum trees and magnolias standing in the ruins, Cheng Chuyang's heart was dripping blood crazily!
All the houses are gone!
The home he had lived in Chang'an for several years was gone!
Cheng Chuyang went crazy and searched back and forth in the entire ruins, but he never found any trace of Cheng Changan, Gan Lin, Li Da and others who stayed in the yamen. Cheng Chuyang's eyes almost became blood-red! He shouted frantically at the ruins, "Father, where are you? Father, I'm back, where are you......"
Seeing his grief-stricken appearance, everyone burst into tears. A few of them who had been in the yamen for a long time spontaneously divided these people into several groups and continued to search in different courtyards and in different directions.
"Master Cheng? Rain? Where are you? ”
“……”
"Li Da? Fatso? If you have a breath, say yes! ”
“……”
There were voices everywhere seeking forgiveness, but there was no response for a long time.
Among the several people, Adong was older, and he had seen too many people die in the riots in the fierce battle last night, and now he couldn't help crying when he saw the tragic situation of the government office.
"Brother Yang, you won't be killed like those people on the street, right?"
The official surnamed Yang immediately snorted, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be blind, our adults are blessed with great fortunes, and we will be fine!" What's more, there is Gan Lin here, Gan Lin's kung fu is the best among all of us, and no one in those traitors can beat him. ”
Having said that, but looking at the desolate mansion, Yang Yashi's heart was also very bottomless. He has been working in the Yamen since he was 14 years old, and has been working for more than six years now. The yamen was destroyed, and he felt no less sad in his heart than anyone else.
Thinking about Cheng Fuyin, who was strict on weekdays, but actually cared about his subordinates, Yang Yayi looked for it even harder with red eyes.
"My lord, Gan Lin, Li Da...... Hear the voice, we have come to your rescue! ”
Yang Yazhi and Dong searched for the ruins in front of them for a long time, and just as they were about to leave to go elsewhere, they heard a knocking sound that seemed to be there or nothing.
Adong's footsteps paused, "Brother Yang, listen, there seems to be a voice!" ”
"Shh
Yang listened carefully to the vicinity, and sure enough, he heard the intermittent tapping sound again under a collapsed roof.
The sound is constant and regular. In other words, there are really people calling for help down there!
"There are people alive down here, go and call them!"
Dong turned around and ran out. As he ran, he pulled his hoarse neck and shouted, "Childe! There is a discovery! Someone is still alive in the ruins......"
His shout immediately attracted Cheng Chuyang and others to come over.
By the time Cheng Chuyang arrived, Yang Yashi had already started to clean up the ruins under his feet.
"Childe, that's where the movement came from."
Cheng Chuyang also went there to listen, and sure enough, it was like the Yang Ya Office, and there was a burst of percussion sound below. Cheng Chuyang's heart was overjoyed, and he suddenly thought of where this was.
It turned out that this was the big kitchen in Fuzhong, and he remembered clearly that there was a not very large wine cellar on the side of this kitchen, which was dedicated to storing the good wine that Cheng Fuyin had obtained over the years. It's just that because of his father's strict supervision, he didn't have a chance to enter the wine cellar.
This wine cellar is very hidden, and if you are not from Fuchu, you will definitely not find it. Thinking of this, Cheng Chuyang's tense heart suddenly relaxed a little.
"Quick, get this out of here. There's a wine cellar down here, and my father and Gan Lin must be in it. ”
All the words were conceded, and they were immediately put away. However, there are many pots and pots and pots and pans that are crooked and smashed in the ruins. It took a lot of effort to clean it up. Fortunately, the yamen had enough manpower, and after a cup of tea, the land under his feet finally revealed its original appearance.
Just as Cheng Chuyang thought, a manhole cover with a big cover appeared in front of everyone.
When Cheng Chuyang opened the lid, there was an intermittent coughing sound from inside. Listening to the voice, it is very similar to Cheng Changan.
