Cao Xuan was also in the crowd. When he saw this scene, he turned his eyes and thought in his heart.
Gradually, there was light in his eyes.
Already have an idea.
Then, he still watched his eyes, nose and heart, and stood firmly in the hall.
Zhao Qian flicked his sleeves and ordered: "My lords, I already told you yesterday that we are going to leave. I believe that your lords have already made arrangements. Let's go our separate ways now. Bring your family members and we will meet at the gate of the West City. Then leave. Time is faster, we have to hurry up."
"I obey the order!"
Everyone left in a hurry.
These people are extremely shrewd, so when Zhao Qian ostensibly allowed officials to stay, they wisely protected themselves and did not take the initiative to stand up. Just like this, their choice preserved themselves.
They left one by one, and Cao Xuan also followed them out of the imperial city.
When Cao Xuan left the imperial city, he directly called his confidant Cheng Lin. Cen Wen had been captured before, but Cheng Lin was still with him. He looked directly at Cheng Lin and ordered: "Master Cheng, please enter the palace today. Zhao Qian slaughtered nearly 80% of the officials."
"Now, people have been sent to raid homes, exterminate clans, and rob Chang'an of money. This matter will definitely cause turmoil. There will even be countless people who directly rob the people."
"You send an order to our soldiers to plunder, seize money, food, and capture young men."
"When we are about to leave Chang'an, we have to leave. In addition, the places we have robbed will be directly set on fire. Anyway, this is the emperor's fault, and we will not leave any benefits to Wang Qi."
Cheng Lin nodded and answered after hearing this.
He has no mercy, this is the enemy anyway. He quickly made arrangements, and Cao Xuan's soldiers took action. The whole city of Chang'an was in chaos in a short time. Soldiers looted and set fire to everywhere.
Chang'an City is like a hell on earth.
Countless people fled in all directions, but in the end they were killed by soldiers. Even gradually, people started to set fires, causing countless people to die tragically in the area.
This scene was discovered by Li Yannian who was shopping in the city.
He hurried back to his house and saw Li Hongzhong, who had just returned and was giving orders to pack his bags.
Li Yannian said: "Grandpa, what are the robberies and arson in the city?"
Li Hongzhong said: "What else could be going on? His Majesty was of course broken and unwilling to leave a good place for Wang Qi, so he ordered the slaughter of the place. It is precisely for this reason that the current scene happened."
Li Yannian said: "In this city of Chang'an, countless people live. Every citizen is chased, arrested, and slaughtered. There are screams and dead bodies everywhere. How can this be done? Grandpa, the emperor is doing this, and he is related to the tyrant. What's the difference? Now you still give the order to leave with Zhao Qian, but my grandson doesn't agree."
Li Hongzhong said: "Since you don't agree, just stay and go to Wang Qi."
"ah!"
Li Yannian exclaimed.
He was very surprised.
"My grandfather, who had always been determined to stand on the emperor's side and serve the emperor, suddenly changed his mind, which surprised and shocked him.
Li Hongzhong said in a deep voice: "Yesterday the emperor asked me to inform the officials that those who are willing to leave with him should follow him. Those who are unwilling to leave with him can stay voluntarily and the emperor will not interfere."
"At that time, I had doubts and thought it was impossible. The emperor was not such a good person. But many officials in the court believed that the emperor did not punish the people according to law and there was nothing they could do about it."
"So this morning during the imperial meeting, as soon as the emperor asked, countless people came forward. Nearly 80% of the officials wanted to stay in Chang'an, and they even claimed to be guarding Chang'an for the emperor."
"Then, the emperor asked Linghu Qianli to lead people to kill all these people. Their family members were also to be exterminated, and all family money, etc., were confiscated."
"As for the soldiers who looted the city, who will take care of it? The emperor has already given up on Chang'an, so no one will take care of the ordinary people. Today's Great Zhou has absolutely no way out."
"It's just that my status is different. If I make any rash move, I will definitely be slaughtered."
"You are not particularly prominent in Chang'an. Therefore, if you stay, it will not have any impact. Go to Wang Qi and make it known that my Li family is willing to act as an instigator, and I am willing to act as his internal agent and provide him with information."
Li Hongzhong said: "This is your mission, and it is also to leave a way out for my Li family."
"yes!"
Li Yannian responded directly.
At this point, he could not refuse, because once he refused, it would be equivalent to cutting off the Li family's retreat.
Li Hongzhong waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can find a place to hide yourself. Today, Chang'an City has become a place of right and wrong. If you are not careful, you may be massacred."
"Grandson, please retire!"
Li Yannian turned around and left.
Li Hongzhong¡¯s family simply packed up, and then he took his people and set off for the West City. As soon as they arrived in Xicheng, the emperor had already arrived with everyone in the harem, in addition to a group of imperial guards.
? One after another, officials also arrived.
After all, there are not many officials in the court, and those who come are gradually arriving.
After Zhao Qian and others arrived, and the soldiers collected all the officials' money, the army set off, escorting batches of food and money, and quickly left.
The remaining city of Chang'an became a region.
The weather in late June has gradually become quite hot. In this hot weather, although the corpses in the city have not rotted for the time being, they are very prone to develop many diseases.
When Wang Qi led his army to arrive and sent out sentries to report the situation in the city, he ordered people to make simple masks to cover the mouth and nose, and then ordered the corpses in the city to be cleaned up and all cremated and burned.
As for the streets in the city, they were all sprinkled with lime for disinfection.
It is true that there may not be an epidemic, after all, it will not last long.
But Wang Qi cannot be careless. In this era, once a plague occurs, it will be irreversible and uncontrollable. Therefore, Wang Qi must be cautious. It took two days to clear everything.
At this time, Yan Chixing came to Wang Qi's Chinese army tent outside the city and reported: "Your Highness, the situation in Chang'an City has been taken into account."
Wang Qidao: "Tell me what the situation is."
Yan Chixing replied: "According to our statistics, more than 18,000 people were massacred in Chang'an City, countless families were destroyed, and the entire Chang'an was completely deserted."
"Zhao Qian, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, led his people to Xiliang. There were originally granaries for grain in Chang'an City, but Zhao Qian moved some of them away and burned the rest."
¡°When it comes to fires, it¡¯s even more irritating.¡±
Yan Chixing gritted his teeth and said: "In Chang'an City, countless residences were burned down, making the situation of the people in the city even worse."
Wang Qi¡¯s eyes were sharp and he said: ¡°Zhao Qian¡¯s move really puts him at risk from the world.¡±
Yan Chixing said: "The emperor Zhao Qian is young, but his thoughts are really vicious."
Zhou Zishan was sitting below, and he said: "Those who have gained the Tao will have many help, and those who have lost the Tao will have few. Today, we can use the events in Chang'an to publicize it to the outside world. Your Majesty, I suggest you tell Zhu the news. Shangshu, ask him to arrange for the person in charge of Qi State Daily to publicize Zhao Qian¡¯s evil deeds in Chang¡¯an and let the world know what Zhao Qian did.¡±
Wang Qidao: "Send this news back immediately."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders!"
Zhou Zishan immediately agreed.
Yan Chixing said: "Your Highness, can we send troops to Xiliang now?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "It is only a matter of time to attack Xiliang Zhao Qian. But for now, we must first provide relief to the people in Chang'an. Although countless people have been killed, their families have been destroyed, and their lives are miserable, the days are still there. You have to pass, you have to stabilize people's hearts, stabilize the situation in Chang'an first, and then consider other things. It is a matter of time to deal with the emperor sooner or later."
Yan Chixing said: "General, I finally understand."
"Report!"
At this moment, Li Wuji's voice came in again. Li Wuji stood still and said, "Your Highness, Li Yannian wants to see you. This man claims to be the grandson of Li Hongzhong, the minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Wang Qi said: "Bring people in."
"yes!"
Li Wuji immediately made arrangements.
Not long after, Li Yannian entered. He stood still and said: "Li Yannian, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qi."
