The clean-up work was carried out very quickly. Chongzheng Hall had basically been burned into ruins. The pillars, beams and rafters had been burnt to charcoal. The glazed tiles on the roof had collapsed, and almost none of them was intact. There were broken rubble everywhere. In fact, the main
It's time to clean up the rubble, because everything else has been almost burned.
Of course, the collapse of the roof will have a certain fire-extinguishing effect on the fire below. One method of extinguishing a fire is to knock down the burning house and use the collapse of the roof tiles and walls to suppress the flames or prevent the flames from burning. Chongzheng Hall 3
The first floor of the main hall collapsed when it was half burned, which also gave Lin Jue hope to find Lu Zhongtian's body. If the fire continued to burn like this, there would be nothing burned inside in the end. If there had been a collapse, the lower level of the main hall would not have been burned.
The fire will go out before something can be found.
With more people and greater strength, the soldiers moved around the throne in the hall and moved away the charred pillars, cleared away a large amount of dust and rubble, and cleared a circular area. In the middle of the area was the predicted location of the throne. Soon, those who risked
The charred wood and rubble that smelled of green smoke and scalding heat were cleared away layer by layer, revealing the floor of the hall paved with marble and white marble. Not long after digging forward, finally, the dragon throne that had collapsed into a piece of charred char was discovered.
Therefore, it is confirmed that it is the emperor's throne because although the wood part has been burned to char, the exquisite gold, silver, copper and iron ornaments on the dragon chair cannot be burned, and are only slightly deformed by the fire. This is
It is still debatable. The golden dragon head ornaments on the backs of the chairs on both sides of the throne, the huge silver palace feather fans, the red copper corners on the four corners of the treasure case, and even the square cinnabar inkstone on the treasure case were all discovered.
It is enough to prove that this is the location of the throne.
Lin felt that after receiving the report, he immediately rushed to the ruins to check. After the soldiers carefully moved and cleaned up a pile of black charcoal ash, they finally found a body among the ashes. However, it was not actually a body anymore.
It was already like a piece of burnt wood. If the shape of the limbs and head were not vaguely discernible, and the mouth, nose, and eye sockets on the head showed the appearance of a skull with black holes, one might really think that it was just a piece of burnt wood.
.
After being burned like this, it was impossible to confirm whether it was Lu Zhongtian or not. Things like height and appearance could no longer be used as criteria for identification. The only identifiable thing was the accessories on the body. After careful cleaning and examination, they found burnt pieces next to the body.
A cracked square jade stone with a golden handle on top. Everyone was puzzled. Then many strange golden threads were found on the charred corpse, embedded in the charred corpse, which made everyone even more confused.
Confuse.
Lin Jue laughed when he saw this: "Yes, it is indeed Lu Zhongtian. With these two pieces of evidence, it can be confirmed without a doubt."
Everyone hurriedly asked, and Lin Jue said: "The jade stone is the newly engraved national seal. Although it was burnt and shattered, the carved writing can be faintly seen below. The dragon pattern handle on it is the handle for the national seal. It is an imitation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I have seen the making of the national seal, so I recognize it. Except Lu Zhongtian, who would hide the national seal on his body and burn himself together. This is one of the evidences. The second evidence is these golden threads, which are on his dragon robe.
The gold threads embroidering the golden dragon must have been worn on his body yesterday when he ascended the throne, and he would definitely not take them off before his death. When he immolated himself, the brocade dragon robe on his body burned when exposed to fire, but these gold threads
It will not burn, and the hot silk threads are embedded in his flesh. That's why we see these golden threads wrapped around the body, which are the threads on the dragon robe. Combining these two points, it must be Lu Zhongtian. Wearing a dragon
Who else could commit suicide with a jade seal in his robe?"
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded and laughed loudly: "This old thief still dreamed of being an emperor before he died. It's a pity that this hall and the throne were destroyed by him."
Liang Qidao: "Commander, how are you going to dispose of the old thief's body?"
Lin Jue said: "Let's assume he knew what was going on and burned himself to death. Otherwise, he would have to show his head to the public. But now there is no need. Let's find a coffin and bury him."
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly started to lift the body. However, several soldiers were inexperienced and did not know how to lift the body from below. Instead, they pulled the body's limbs to lift the body. They heard a crisp sound and burned like coke.
The arms and thighs of the corpse were broken, and the lifted corpse fell to the ground with a crash. The head fell off immediately, the charred body was torn apart, and the whole corpse was shattered into hundreds of black pieces.
When Lu Zhongtian self-immolated, he hid burning grease around the throne. He wanted to die faster and with less pain. But this also turned his entire body into coke from the inside out. When the hall collapsed,
His whole body was burnt. It was due to some unknown coincidence that he was preserved intact. Now when he fell like this, he immediately shattered into hundreds or thousands of pieces.
When everyone was stunned, a strong wind blew from nowhere, and the charred ashes suddenly flew everywhere. Everyone covered their mouth, nose and eyes with their sleeves, and when the wind passed, they looked at the corpse. Only one half of it was left.
The head and seven or eight black pieces were charred from unknown body parts.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Lin Jue sighed: "The old thief has done many evil things. It seems that God can't stand it, so he will crush his bones and spread his ashes. That's all, just pick up a few pieces."
…
In the sunny afternoon in the courtyard of the political hall, Lin Jue summoned all civil and military officials in the city to a meeting to discuss the implementation of several major events. Although Guo Kun did not attend, this did not affect the warm and interesting atmosphere of the entire meeting.
Effectiveness.
"Everyone, I can now announce to you that we have defeated the extremely rebellious party members of Thief Lu. Thief Lu burned himself to death, and the chief culprits such as Chen Bin, Zhu Zhirong, Liu Zhenbang, etc. have also been executed. Further purge operations are underway, I believe it will be soon.
Then we can eliminate the poisonous gangsters of Lu's thieves. In other words, we have achieved our goal, we have recaptured the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor will return to the palace to attend court. The civil strife will soon be calmed down." Lin Jue announced to everyone with a smile.
road.
Although he had long known that all this was true, the words coming out of Lin Jue's mouth had a different and extraordinary meaning. It was not nonsense, it was a formal declaration.
Everyone clapped, some grinned happily, and some had eyes filled with excitement.
Moist, some people raised their hands and bowed to the sky to thank God for blessing. To have this result today is deeply emotional for many people. Except for some officials who later defected from the imperial court to the Luoyan Army, most of the people here are officials.
At the beginning, he was forced or voluntarily followed Lin Jue to leave the court and go to the Funiu Mountains. No matter what the circumstances were, the initial psychological repetitions and gaps, worries and confusion were inevitable. Especially especially
At the beginning, the strength of Luoyan Valley in Funiu Mountain was very small. When Lin Jue and others entered the mountain, they only had 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers. They were facing a court with a million troops. At that time, if someone said that the Luoyan Army could reach the capital in the future,
, no one believes in seizing power.
Most people have experienced a state of confusion and worry where they have no confidence in the future. They don't say it, but when they toss and turn in the middle of the night, they are naturally worried and worried about the bleak future, and even have some regrets.
However, it is precisely because they have gone through that period of suffering and know how difficult it is for the Luoyan Army to get to where they are today that they are particularly happy and happy today. Their admiration for Marshal Lin in front of them is also more profound and heartfelt. All of them
When everyone feels that the future is bleak, negative and hesitant, Lin Jue is the last comfort in everyone's heart. Because he always maintains enthusiasm and hope, always thinks about how to strengthen the army of Luoyan Army, and always maintains passion and confidence in the future.
It can be said that the strength of the entire Luoyan Army was contributed by Lin Jue. The firearms he invented gave the Luoyan Army the confidence to face the massive attack by the imperial troops and horses. He turned the tide and defeated the opponent. During the chaos in the north,
, he risked his life, gained a lot of information, and recruited generals like Ma Qingshan and his large number of troops. The reason why Lin Jue has such high prestige and god-like existence in the Luoyan Army is not because of Luoyan
The army was founded by him, not because of his good personal relationship with everyone, but because of his spiritual power of never giving up and always being enterprising. As well as his wisdom and ability that are beyond everyone's understanding.
Many people shed excited tears not only because of their emotions about everything they have experienced, but also because they are happy that Lin Jue's hard work and persistence for so many years have been rewarded. If a person like Lin Jue could not achieve what he has today, he would be really old.
God is extremely unfair.
The applause lasted for a long time, and everyone's emotions also infected Lin Jue. Busy and exhausted all day long, Lin Jue rarely looked back on the road he had traveled. But now on this occasion, he suddenly realized that he had come so far.
Walking so high, I felt filled with emotions for a moment.
However, Lin Jue controlled the emotion in his heart, because now is not the time to feel emotion.
"Everyone, this can only be regarded as our staged victory, and it has not yet reached the final victory. It takes half a mile to travel a hundred miles. I know you have a lot of emotions in your hearts, but now is not the time for us to celebrate. Although the civil strife is calm, the people's hearts are still.
It is not yet peaceful. After the war, the livelihood of the people is still difficult to guarantee. And to the north of us, there is still a vicious wolf occupying a large area of our land. The government is in ruins, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is still in disorder. All of this is our fault
We have to face difficult problems. Therefore, we cannot celebrate yet. I have a few things to discuss with you, and we need to make a decision as soon as possible." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked solemn, straightened their backs, raised their ears and listened carefully.
