Zhang Cheng and hundreds of civil and military officials wanted to break into the harem, but Sun Xiu vowed to defend him to the death, and there was a quarrel at the palace gate. Naturally, no one gave in, and no one knew who it was. He shot an arrow and an official was shot.
He immediately fell into a pool of blood. The scene immediately became chaotic. Zhang Cheng shouted and rushed towards the city gate. Sun Xiu had to order to fire arrows. At first, a group of civil and military officers were forced back by Sun Xiu's bows and arrows. As the military generals stepped forward,
The two sides started fighting in the palace.
The palace was already in chaos, and things outside the palace were naturally not going to be any better. Xue Zong and Bu Lu contacted the soldiers and horses and were about to enter the city gate, but they were blocked by Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen who had already occupied the city gate.
A siege battle soon broke out. Rivers of blood flowed, and people neighed and horses screamed. From the beginning, the two sides fought fiercely.
Xue Zong hid in the tent in fear, holding his head and trembling all over: "It's over, it's over. Zhang Cheng has been prepared for it. Your Majesty must be finished!"
Bu Lu rolled his eyes: "Otherwise..."
Xue Zong immediately calmed down and looked at Bu Lu: "What else?"
Neither of these two people was willing to say the word surrender first. You looked at me and I looked at you, dumbfounded. The troops and horses mobilized fiercely attacked Yecheng. However, Yecheng had high walls and heavy losses of soldiers and horses, but they could not
As we entered, more and more bodies piled up beside the moat.
"Two adults, what should we do? Zhang Cheng has been prepared for a long time, we can't rush to the palace!" The general leading the troops asked Xue Zong and Bu Lu for their opinions: "I'm afraid that the palace has been occupied by this time, and something unexpected may have happened to Your Majesty.
"
Xue Zong asked tentatively: "What do you think, general?"
The general shook his head: "You two are your Majesty's important ministers. I thought you were Situ, and I thought you were the minister. I will obey these two generals!"
Bu Lu asked: "General, does he really listen to us?"
The general nodded. Xue Zong sighed and knelt on the ground facing Jianye: "Your Majesty! This humble minister is really helpless, please bear with me!" He actually started crying.
As the reinforcements retreated, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent someone to report to Zhang Cheng. After hearing this, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and detached a force from the city wall guards to attack the palace. Sun Xiu's guards were not large in number.
The garrison at the palace was just a show-off, and they could only hold on with the help of the city wall. The arrival of reinforcements completely made them lose the initiative. The city gate was knocked open. Zhang Cheng shouted and led people into the harem.
The harem is the residence of the female family members. When have I seen so many ferocious soldiers? Everyone screamed and panicked. The soldiers went on a killing spree, slashing and killing everyone they saw. The palace of Wu Kingdom immediately turned into a hell on earth.
.Screams and panic quickly spread in the palace. These soldiers were not economical waiters. They started looting immediately, grabbing whatever was valuable and attractive. Gold, silver, jewelry, wine and beautiful women, as long as they saw them, they all grabbed them.
into his arms. Even Sun Quan's concubines could not escape the clutches of the devil.
Zhang Cheng and others gathered in front of Fenglai Tower, surrounded the entire Fenglai Tower inside and out, and shouted loudly to the upstairs: "Your Majesty! We are not rebelling, just because this temptress deceived Your Majesty and killed me
The Grand Tutor of the State of Wu has also made the people of the State of Wu panic and have no desire to fight. The ministers believe that Your Majesty must kill this temptress to restore the glory of the State of Wu.
There was no response from Feng Lai upstairs. Zhang Cheng kept calling Sun Quan from the ground floor. At this time, Sun Quan was dumbfounded, leaning against the corner, holding Qin Cao in his arms, his eyes full of love: "Beloved concubine, I'm afraid...
"
Qin Cao quickly covered Sun Quan's mouth: "Your Majesty! You will always be my Majesty! I am willing to die for your Majesty."
Sun Quan burst into tears, and Lou's Qin Cao tightened: "My beloved concubine cares so much about me, but how can I let go of my beloved concubine?"
The people at Feng Lai opened the door and Sun Quan appeared in front of everyone. Everyone took a step back in unison, and some people couldn't help but fall to their knees. This is the emperor, a symbol of supremacy. Normally, you don't even say a word when you see him.
, as long as he is unhappy, he may end up dead and fight against the emperor, which is the only way to death. But today it seems that the wind direction has changed.
"Your Majesty! Can you agree to kill that witch?" Zhang Cheng was holding a sword in his hand and there was blood on his body.
Sun Quan looked at Zhang Cheng and actually raised his hands in salute: "Can the Governor please let me and Qin'er go? I am willing to give up this country to the Governor!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Who would have thought that Sun Quan, who had done all the evil things to fight for the throne, could say these words. Zhang Cheng quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty! I am a minister of the Wu Kingdom, and your Majesty is a minister of the Wu Kingdom.
Sir, we only wish for the prosperity of our country of Wu, and I have no intention of arrogance. As long as Your Majesty orders the execution of the witch, I will die for Your Majesty."
Sun Quan shook his head: "My beloved concubine and I are very loving, and I only wish to have my beloved concubine alone."
"Your Majesty...!" Everyone knelt down.
Qin Cao walked out of Fenglai Tower with his sword in hand and went to fight beside Sun Quan: "Are you just going to die to me? As long as I die, can you let your majesty go?"
"Witch! Are you so shameless?" Zhang Cheng stood up and pointed at Qin Cao: "You have deceived His Majesty. You are guilty of a crime that cannot be punished, and you are still shameless! Come on, capture the witch and send her to Lingchi outside the palace!"
"Wait a minute!" Qin Cao shouted and looked at Sun Quan affectionately: "Your Majesty, I can no longer accompany your Majesty. I hope I can be your Majesty's wife in the next life!" Say it, and put the sword on his neck.
With a slight stroke, blood burst out instantly. Her beautiful face turned pale, and a beautiful lady died in front of everyone with her eyes wide open.
"My beloved concubine...!" Sun Quan burst into tears. No one expected that Qin Cao was such a woman and dared to commit suicide. He was considered a man.
Sun Quan cried like a tearful man, but Zhang Cheng refused to forgive him: "Your Majesty, the temptress has committed a crime that is outraged by both humans and gods. I thought that I should kill her corpse on the city wall so that everyone in the world can see the fate of this temptress." Before Sun Quan could reply, Zhang Cheng
Cheng waved his hand, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen rushed up.
Sun Quan suddenly grabbed Qin Cao's sword and waved it wildly: "No one is allowed to come here! I will kill anyone who dares to touch my beloved concubine!"
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen were frightened. Facing Sun Quan, they did not dare to use drastic measures and could only avoid everywhere. Sun Quan forced Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fen back, then turned around and picked up Qin Cao and headed towards Feng Lai.
They walked upstairs. No one chased after them. Everyone understood that Sun Quan had lost his mind. Since Qin Cao was dead, their purpose was answered. Everyone stood there blankly, waiting for Zhang Cheng to speak.
They wanted to see what Zhang Cheng was going to do.
Thick black smoke came out from the Fenglai Building, and flames flew out of the windows in an instant. Everyone was shocked and immediately sent people to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too big. The entire first floor was already on fire and was heading toward the second floor.
The curtains made of Shu brocade and silk fabrics caught fire. A large number of silks and satins in the room were immediately burned. Those who wanted to break in to save others were stabbed to death by Sun Quan's sword thrust out from the crack of the door.
Sun Quan laughed loudly: "Zhang Cheng! You won, I trusted you, but the leader of the Wu Kingdom is not so easy to be, I don't know when you will come down to accompany me! Hahahaha..."
People who were roasted by the flames retreated one after another, and the entire Fenglai Building was burned. The fire crackled and burned the wooden mortise and tenon structure. First, the roof began to collapse, and then the pillars collapsed, causing the entire Fenglai Building to collapse.
.The flames shot straight into the sky. The faint sound of the flute could still be heard faintly. The sound of the flute was so sad and indignant.
Zhang Cheng successfully controlled Jianye. Outside the city, Xue Zong and Bu Lu knew something was wrong when they saw the fire, but they still had a glimmer of hope. No matter how domineering Zhang Cheng was, he would not kill Sun Quan together, right? Seeing Zhang Cheng appear here
On the city tower, Xue Zong immediately asked loudly: "Grand Governor? Where is your Majesty?"
Zhang Cheng looked at the two men: "You really don't want to fight anymore? If that's true, then throw away your weapons, kneel down and surrender."
Xue Zong quickly gave a loud order, threw down his weapons and surrendered. Bu Lu smiled and said: "Grand Governor, can you let us see your Majesty?"
Zhang Cheng did not answer him, but instead raised his right hand high: "Xue Zong and Bu Lu led their troops to cause chaos. You are listening to the order and prepare to fire arrows."
Sharp arrows roared towards him. Xue Zong cursed Zhang Cheng for being despicable, and was immediately turned into a hedgehog by more than a dozen arrows. Although Bu Lu was excited, he did not expect Zhang Cheng to come with such a move. He was caught off guard and died more than Xue Zong.
It's still early.
Zhang Cheng watched the arrows shot into the bodies of Xue Zong and Bu Lu, his face sinking as if he were in the water: "It is not a pity to die for such a treacherous minister, go and cut off the heads of those two treacherous officials and hang them on the city to show the public!"
This was the end of a vigorous battle between King Qin and Zhang Cheng. Not only did he destroy the enemy who killed his father, but he also let the Wu officialdom see the strength of their Zhang family. Sun Quan's death did not bring any kind of consequences.
On the contrary, more people began to invest under Zhang Cheng's command. During this period of power vacuum, Zhang Cheng became the actual ruler of Wu State.
Some people recommended Zhang Cheng to take over the Sun family, but Zhang Cheng refused. After much deliberation, he decided to make Sun Quan's seventh son, Sun Liang, who was only two years old, the emperor. Because of Zhang Cheng's contribution to the king's service this time, he was named
The Grand Sima, the Grand General, also served as Shangshu Ling. All military and state affairs were entrusted to Zhang Cheng. The Zhang family instantly became the target of everyone in the Wu Kingdom.
Naturally, Zhang Cheng could not treat his own people badly. He first gave his father Zhang Zhao the posthumous title of Duke of Guangling, and then appointed his younger brother Zhang Xiu as a guard, his younger brother Zhang Fen as a hussar general, his son Zhang Zhen as Yulinlang, and his father-in-law Zhuge Jin as Sikong.
In short, as long as all the relatives of the Zhang family were granted marquisships and high officials, the Kingdom of Wu was actually in the hands of Zhang Cheng, and it only lacked the title of emperor.
Sun Quan has been wiped out, but the state funeral still has to be held. Sun Liang's enthronement ceremony is also indispensable. All entertainment is prohibited throughout the country. It seems that the entire Wu Kingdom is in grief. In fact, under the dotted lights of the Qinhuai River, it is still
The lights are feasting and the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing.
At the critical stage of the change of power in Wu State, bad news reached Jianye. Zang Ba was really coming this time.
