Wanyan Chengyi led his men, running around the palace like wolves and tigers.
The location of the Chamber of Servants is inside Ren'an Gate, and further north is the Chunhe Hall, the emperor's main residence. However, the Chunhe Hall has been deserted. Except for a few corpses of palace maids, even the gold-inlaid copper lamp on the bedside has been taken away.
Moved.
Wanyan Chengyi roared and searched everywhere, but finally turned back, grabbed a young attendant and asked, "Where is the precious seal? And where is the gold and silver hidden in the palace?"
The attendant was trembling, not daring to answer or not to answer. He murmured for a long time and said: "The seal should be in the Fu Bao Bureau. The gold, silver and money should be in the inner treasury, or in the left and right treasury."
Wanyan Chengyi was as noble as other Jurchen clan members and was from the Chamber of Servants. However, when he was a Chamberlain, the capital of Dajin was still Daxing Prefecture in Zhongdu. He was just not familiar with the layout of the Kaifeng Palace. At that moment, he shouted impatiently
: "Nonsense, what I'm asking is, where is the Talisman Treasure Bureau? Where is the inner treasure storehouse?"
"The Talisman Bureau is to the east of Sahemen, and the inner treasury is to the south of Changsheng Hall."
Wanyan Chengyi drew his sword angrily: "You want to die, right? You won't say it clearly in one breath, right?"
The attendant was so frightened that he hurriedly explained with gestures. It turned out that when Wanyan Chengyi led his people to the attendant's office just now, the city gate to the east was the Sahe Gate, and the courtyard to the east of the Sahe Gate was the Fu Bao Bureau. Wanyan Chengyi's own house
I missed it all the time. If you want to go to the Neicangku, you have to go through Chunhe Hall and Yuanmen, then bypass Cuifeng in the north of Xianshaoyuan, and arrive via Changsheng Hall.
These two roads have completely different directions. Moreover, Wanyan Jiuzhu entered the palace first, so maybe he got there first?
Wanyan Chengyi hesitated for a moment. He estimated that Wanyan Jiuzhu's fellow was probably plundering the gold, jewels and treasures in the palace, and his own political considerations seemed to overwhelm his greed for money?
Thinking of this, he said sternly: "Then turn back! Let's go to the Fu Bao Bureau first!"
With just this delay, there were many more people in the palace than before.
Someone came up to stop the cavalry and asked for help, but half of their skulls were chopped off by the knight with a knife. As for the other lunatics and fools, there were even more, and I don’t know what they wanted to do. Wanyan Chengyi and others didn’t say much, and all the way
The hacking and slashing was done cleanly and neatly.
At this time, he no longer regarded himself as a local official of the Kingdom of Jin, but only focused on grabbing benefits from the sinking ship. What he would do after grabbing the benefits, he couldn't think clearly, and he didn't think much about it. But he dared to
Since he had even killed his own younger brother to stop him, why would he have any worries?
Naturally, the steel knife opened the way and killed people indiscriminately, without sparing a hand.
Almost all those he killed were Jurchens.
Many of the Jurchens who fled to Nanjing Road in the past year gathered in Kaifeng.
Their goals, ideas and even the class they were in may be different, but they were able to take their families and move south when Dajin was on the verge of collapse. At least their intentions were clear, their actions were not bad, and they had many strong men. That's why the Kaifeng court was able to withdraw from them.
It can be called a huge force.
But at this moment, the ideas of these Jurchens collided violently. Disputes and internal strife among the Jurchens occurred everywhere in the city, and they suddenly broke out to a tragic level.
Some Jurchens were originally afraid of Ding Haijun. Previously, tens of thousands of Ding Haijun were watching the city. Their hearts were filled with anxiety and their emotions were frightened and suppressed to the extreme. When the enemy troops entered the city and the emperor died, the city was filled with thousands of people.
The residents subconsciously rushed to the palace.
There are also some Jurchens who still have some enthusiasm, and at this time they actually burst out with the fierce energy left by their ancestors. They gathered private soldiers and went out with weapons in hand, intending to restore order, or retreat into the palace in an orderly manner, or attack in an organized manner.
Move outside the city to survive.
More people are running south, just for wealth. Now that wealth will be gone, they only care about themselves. They plunder at will, and even attack the mansions of wealthy businessmen and even government offices and treasury. They still have the strength in their hands, and they understand
The Jurchen warriors at the key point, such as Wanyan Jiuzhu and Wanyan Chengyi, searched everywhere in the palace, hoping to make a fortune.
In the eyes of this group of people, those who fled wantonly would only be a hindrance. During the robbery, they had fierce internal conflicts with those who intended to restore order or continue to fight with Ding Haijun.
This situation was ten times more chaotic than when the Mongols invaded Zhongdu that day, and there might be ten times more casualties.
At that time, the Mongols used absolutely powerful force to suppress the situation, and the Shuhu Gaoqi's troops were working as a help. The others could only tremble and tremble. But at this time, the Ding navy had not entered the city, and the Jurchens
My own family was already in despair.
And the second big defeat after the fall of Zhongdu brought them not only despair. How desperate they were, how crazy and violent they were; and under the madness, people with completely different positions were naturally life-and-death enemies.
!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The thugs who rushed into the Fu Bao Bureau found that all the officials inside had been killed. Several courtyards were full of blood. They couldn't find anything to plunder, let alone the seal. They didn't know who had taken the lead. They were angry.
He rushed out of the main door, went to the utensils bureau next door, grabbed some gold utensils, and then chopped down the idlers who were rushing to the ground one by one.
After coming out of the Artifacts Bureau, I ran hundreds of steps along the corridor. Somehow, I wanted to go to the inner storage room, but ended up at Xuanhuiyuan.
Wanyan Chengyi lost his patience and stabbed the attendant who was pointing the way to death. He rushed into Xuanhui Courtyard, only to see an old man who looked like a high-ranking official retreating continuously surrounded by three or five officials.
After taking a closer look, it was a coincidence that this old man was actually the former governor of Lintao Mansion, the current censor Zhongcheng, and the counselor of political affairs, Bo Shu Lu Deyu.
Bishu Lu Deyu also recognized Wanyan Chengyi and saw that his group was all vicious and covered in blood. He immediately shouted and asked: "Bai Sa, what are you doing here?"
Bai Sa is Wanyan Chengyi's Jurchen name, and Lu Deyu called him like this. Although it was an accusation, it also contained a bit of intimacy from his own family. In the past, Wanyan Chengyi would have naturally climbed up the pole, talked about friendship, and discussed
A discussion on political cooperation.
But this was the time when the country was being destroyed. In order to gain benefits, he even killed his own younger brother, so how could he care about such an old man? He immediately galloped out.
Lu Deyu thought he was here to talk to him, and his face just showed joy. Wanyan Chengyi opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and hit the chest with an arrow. He fell to the ground and died.
"Catch them and ask them what they are doing here!" Wanyan Chengyi shouted.
At this time, behind the continuous palace wall, where the Zhongwei Si was located to the east of the Mingjun Palace, close guards from the Bolushulu Deyu family were escorting a carriage. Among the men and women hiding in the carriage were the emperor's wife and the queen's disciples.
Including the Shan family, several others were also relatives of the emperor; the driver was Pusannatan Chu, the son of Pusanduan.
Before the carriage could go out, the road outside was blocked by ordinary people fleeing. The guards wielded steel knives and hacked at them, old, weak, women and children, killing those who blocked the road until their heads rolled.
After clearing several feet of open land, the carriage could go out. But unexpectedly, there was a huge crowd behind the road, and the guards kept threatening them. How could they stop the tide?
In an instant, the crowd rolled over like a wave, rushing away dozens of guards, taking away the horses pulling the carriage, and pushing the entire carriage over.
Some people in the crowd fell down again, some were yelling, some were pushing, some were in panic, some were crying for their fathers and mothers. When the crowd passed by, the carriage was broken into pieces, and the Pushanna was trampled by hundreds of people.
, all the bones in his body were broken, and he collapsed on the ground and vomited blood. The queen and her relatives were nowhere to be seen.
At this time, the people who poured into the palace had already discovered that the palace was littered with dead and wounded, and there was no possibility of repelling the enemy. So a large group of people came out of the palace and dispersed to various city gates, intending to escape.
There were fires everywhere in the city, the roads were blocked, and the city gates were open and closed. Many real girls rushed to a certain city gate, and saw that the inside of the city gate was blocked with a large amount of earth and stone. In panic, they turned to the top of the city wall and used their clothes to
Connect to a long rope and hammer yourself down the city.
But when Hou Zhi was repairing the city wall outside Kaifeng, although materials were in short supply, no corners were cut. The wall was more than four feet high. If the long rope made of clothing could not hit the ground, he could only let go and jump down. I don’t know how many people jumped down.
The fall resulted in broken tendons and fractures.
Such a thrilling situation caused the Jin army who retreated to Kaifeng from the direction of Lincaiguan to scream in surprise.
Someone yelled from dozens of feet away: "Don't jump! The enemy will be here soon!"
When the people and horses were noisy, no one on the city could hear clearly. On the contrary, many people saw the Jin army gathering outside the city, and because it was approaching dusk, they did not notice the embarrassed posture of the soldiers with their armor smashed and their flags smashed, and they waved their hands crazily.
Signaling, more people jumped down.
Monk Wanyan Chen's eyes were cracked, and he urged his horse to jump into the moat without hesitation. He turned his head upward and kept gesturing to those who gathered not to be impulsive.
He fought all day long, and changed four or five war horses under his crotch. The current one was taken from Ding Haijun, and it was not tame. He waved his hand too violently, and the war horse was stirred by the river water again, and suddenly neighed and jumped.
Knocked him off.
Kaifeng's moat runs through Guangji River, Bianhe River, Huimin River and other water systems. The water flow was originally quite large. However, due to the influence of the Yellow River's previous diversion and overflow, most of the northern half of the city was silted up at this time.
Monk Wanyan Chen fell into the muddy water with a plop and struggled a few times before he got up. However, he saw that there were still people in the city descending on the rope regardless of the situation. There was even a fat man who didn't even use the rope and jumped out with a wild scream.
There was a muffled sound when it landed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
What happened in the city to make these people crazy?
Is it true, as Wanyan Congtan and others said, that my brother sold the city to get the navy? Could it be that things have changed in the city?
Monk Wanyan Chen wanted to go up and ask questions, but for some reason, he was worried that he would get some terrible answers, so he could not move his feet and continued to approach the city. After hesitating for a moment, he turned back to the shore and headed towards the city.
The slightly gathered cavalrymen shouted:
"There must be trouble in the city... We have to go to Hongren Gate. Hongren Gate will definitely be opened! We still have a lot of people, maybe we can defend the city... At worst, we can escape with His Majesty!"
His voice was already hoarse from the constant roaring. Now he was shouting loudly, his voice was rough and deep, and every time he uttered a word, his throat felt like it was being cut by a knife.
However, no one paid any attention to him.
Monk Wanyan Chen glanced around and found that Wanyan Congtan's deputy, Yilapua, who had served as the military commander in Zhongdu, was here. This Yilapua was one of the young talents specially summoned by the Kaifeng court.
During the Zhongdu Incident, he fled with Brother Wanyan Xielie. On the way to escape, he supported each other and had a deep friendship with Monk Wanyan Chen.
Monk Wanyan Chen moved forward violently, carrying water with his footsteps, trying to pull the reins of La Pua's horse.
Unexpectedly, Yi La Pu'a suddenly led his horse to get out of the way, and Monk Wanyan Chen made a fortune.
"Liang Zuo, the situation is very unclear at the moment. I just heard that something has happened to His Majesty... If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yi La Pu'a said coldly.
Monk Wanyan Chen took a few steps back, feeling as if his chest had been punched so hard that he almost vomited blood.
