The one responsible for taking over the palace is the army led by Wei Ren, after Wei Qing led the valley soldiers to remove half of the treasures in the inner treasury, he pretended to guard around the inner treasury, and when he saw Wei Ren leading his men and horses over, he hurriedly went forward to salute.
"General Sir, Wei Qing was ordered to come to the inner palace to receive the family members of the two Secretaries of State at the border, just met the inner palace attendants from the inner library to the main hall to carry gold and silver treasures, Wei Qing immediately intercepted the treasure, in order to prevent the treacherous consort to continue to send people to snatch, Wei Qing and the generals do not dare to leave the inner library, only to send the Huben to the two Secretaries of State's family members to escort the two Secretaries of State out of the palace first, to the sacrificial platform for protection, Wei Qing and the ministry stayed here to guard."
"Well, well done!" Wei Ren complimented Wei Qing,Zheng Yuming will be the Lord of Wu in the future, all the property of the royal palace is Zheng Yuming.
Wei Ren's family destiny has been tightly tied to Zheng Yuming, Zheng Yuming's interests are the interests of the Wei family.
Wei Ren was also curious about King Wu's inner treasury, Wu was one of the six vassal states of Great Qin, the wealth accumulated over the centuries must be amazing, Wei Ren's sight turned to the inner treasury, his curiosity made him ponder whether he should go into the inner treasury first to have a look.
"Wei Qing, how come the inner vault doors are all broken?" Wei Ren didn't look at it, but at first glance his heart was shocked.
"General, that was the adulterous consort who couldn't find the concubine in charge of the treasury key, so she ordered the attendants to smash open the inner treasury door to steal the belongings, and by the time the last general arrived, half of the belongings in the inner treasury had already been moved away by the attendants." Wei Qing explained quite naturally.
"It's this adulterous concubine again! Pissed off this general." Wei Ren heard, eyebrows raised, suddenly rushed into the inner library, put jade and brocade, pearls and gems of the inner library is half empty, gold library is even more empty, only the library of history books is intact, the door on the big lock intact.
"The main hall in front is on fire, I heard that the adulterous consort is setting herself on fire with her treasures, aren't all the gold and jewels going to be burned?" Wei Qing muttered after Wei Ren.
"The jewelry will be burned, the gold can't be burned!" Wei Ren suddenly slapped his thigh. "Wei Qing, don't go elsewhere, guard the inner treasury with my general's men, and kill anyone who comes near it!"
Wei Ren walked outside while placing a task on Wei Qing.
"Wei Qing obeys the order!" Wei Qing cracked his mouth, Chu Chao Hui had asked to do something to cover up when he was moving the inner treasury's belongings, the gold inner treasury that was emptied and the fire at the inner palace's main hall made Wei Qing think of the best place to plant the stolen goods.
The number of soldiers under Wei Qing's command was small (most of the soldiers had been sent by Wei Qing to guard the property smuggled out from the secret strongholds), Wei Ren left a portion of his men to assist Wei Qing in protecting the inner treasury, and he himself took the rest of his men and women and ran in the direction of the main hall.
When Wei Ren arrived at the inner palace, the fire in the main hall had already been extinguished. Although the fire was extinguished, the main hall was burned to the ground. Soldiers braved the heat to remove the broken walls and beams, and searched for the bodies underneath the broken walls. On the open space in front of the main hall, there were already seven or eight charred corpses, and the Hussar General was looking down at them.
"Great General! The adulteress has set herself on fire?" Wei Ren covered his nose and walked over to the Hussar General, a smell similar to burning hair filled the air.
"Precisely! Cheap this snake woman!" The hussar general used his iron axe to crack open the palm of a charred corpse, which was burnt to the bone but still clinging to something.
"This charred corpse is the adulterous concubine?" Wei Ren's eyes widened as he looked at the piece that rolled out of the charred hand, which was golden in color when wiped clean and had been burned out of shape, with a tiger character faintly visible on it.
"This should be the Great King's Tiger Talisman Order." The Hussar General wrapped the nugget in a piece of cloth.
"Where is the jade seal?" Wei Ren was already convinced that the burnt and curled up charred body in front of him was Ri Ji, and a piece of fabric remaining at the bottom of the charred body indicated the identity, the piece of fabric was gold silk and black brocade, which was the material for the coronation dress of the Empress Dowager of the King.
"Cracked by the fire." The Hussar General exhaled raggedly.
Riji's other hand clutched the seal carved out of Washi jade, a seal that represented the highest power in Wu, which had been burned to pieces in the fire.
Wei Ren shook his head at the remains of Ripple Ji, this woman was really stubborn, dying to bring power to hell.
"Great General, the adulterous consort moved half of the treasures from the inner vault into the main hall, except for the gold, none of the other jewels and jades would have survived!"
"What? The adulterous concubine is still wreaking havoc on the inner treasury's belongings even before her death?" The Hussar General could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and advanced his great axe to knock the remains of Ripple Ji to pieces.
"Men, throw these broken remains into the middle of nowhere." Wei Ren pulled the agitated Hussar General and looked around, "Remember, all Huben, the adulterous consort set herself on fire in the main hall, her body and bones are nowhere to be found."
Ri Ji is the king of Wu's favorite concubine, if captured alive, no matter how big the crime, do the subject to dispose of have to give her a decent death, hussar general can not control the anger of the Ri Ji corpse will be pulverized, spread out on the hussar general's reputation is in the way, Wei Ren so that the Huben present to unify the tone, is to protect the reputation of the hussar general.
"Yes, sir!" The surrounding Huben agreed in unison, their hands and feet quickly packed Ripple Ji's remains into a basket and carried it to the outskirts of the King City to discard it.
The Hussar General looked at Wei Ren gratefully, after his great revenge was avenged, the Hussar General was like a balloon that was cut off, he felt weak.
"Great General, you go and rest first, leave this place to me." Wei Ren looked towards the remnants of the main hall, where there was still all the gold from the inner treasury of the royal palace, he had to collect the burnt gold.
Zheng Yuming with the nobles and feudal lords arrived at the royal palace, the soldiers have been from the main hall of the wreckage of the clearing picked up a lot of gold, these gold melted and cooled, condensed into a variety of strange shapes and shapes, in the middle of the impurities, these pick out of the gold will have to be purified later to be able to use.
Seeing the gold burned by the fire, the nobles and feudal lords thought that Ri Ji's self-immolation had wrecked at least a large part of the property of the inner treasury of the royal palace, especially the remnants of what seemed to be jade and jewelry in the wreckage, which made each of them heartbroken. Wei Ren, in order to clear himself, even took the nobles and feudal lords to see the scene of the inner treasury. The cleanliness in the golden treasury powerfully illustrated everything, and the property missing from the inner treasury was all the work of Ri Ji.
Zheng Yuming got a hint from Wei Qing's eyes and knew that the transfer of the property of the royal palace was successful, and there was a relaxation in his repressed mood.
A total of seventeen charred remains were carried out from the main hall, except for Ripple's remains which were crushed by the Hussar General and thrown into the wilderness, the other sixteen remains were neatly placed in the open space of the main hall.
Through identification, fifteen were Ri Ji's personal attendants and attendants, from the traces of the wreckage, it can be seen that these people died before the fire, a large portion of them hanged themselves, a small portion of them took poison, whether these martyred attendants and attendants were voluntarily, or were forced by Ri Ji, it is impossible to distinguish from the corpse pick up. In addition to fifteen adult charred corpses, the remains of another minor, there is no doubt that it is Gongzi Yong, the remains of the head of the burned gold crown also proved his identity.
"Use a good fragrant nanmu coffin for the coffin." Zheng Yuming sighed as he looked at Gong Zi Yong's remains, he had only seen Gong Zi Yong at the Harvest Festival Ritual, in his impression, Gong Zi Yong was a well-behaved and understanding middle school student.
"Your Excellency must not, Yong is a sinner of the Wu Kingdom and does not deserve a fine coffin." Those who objected were the nobles of the royal capital who had defected over.
"Only ordinary coffins can be used?" Zheng Yuming asked each person's opinion.
"Aye! A thin coffin will do." The nobles and feudal lords nodded.
"Then it will be buried in the royal cemetery in a thin coffin."
"No!" The one who raised the objection this time was a feudal lord with royal blood. "Yong is a sinful son of the royal family, he doesn't deserve to enjoy the incense of the clan, a sinner like him can't be buried in the royal cemetery!"
Zheng Yuming black line, is it necessary to be catty with the corpse of an innocent political victim? "Then where should it be buried?"
Wei Ren sighed in his heart, only feeling that this impostor nephew was too kind. "My lord, just find a folk cemetery to be buried." Saying that it was a folk cemetery, it was actually a mass grave.
After Wei Ren's suggestion, the people around him nodded frequently, and when Zheng Yuming saw this, a wave of annoyance suddenly arose in his heart. "Let General Wei handle this matter."
After dealing with Gongzi Yong's aftermath, Zheng Yuming found a small palace in the royal palace to live in, this palace will temporarily become his temporary residence and office. After settling down in the palace, it was already daybreak, the remaining parties of Ripple Ji and Jiang Dafu were basically cleaned up in the royal city, the soldiers who attacked the royal capital were divided into two shifts to take turns resting, and the Huben of the royal capital who defected were carrying the corpses. The bodies of the soldiers sacrificed by the Ulsan army are placed in one place, each body is to be identified, and their relatives will be given pensions according to their identity information later on, and the ashes of the soldiers are to be sent to their loved ones after cremation, and the soldiers who don't have any loved ones will be buried in the valley mausoleums to be accompanied by the Tang Si-dogs.
As for the bodies of the soldiers who died for Ripple Ji and Kang Daifu, those who have families to claim them will be claimed by them, and those who don't have anyone to claim them will just dig a big pit and bury them collectively. Wounded soldiers from the war were handled like the Ulsan Dokou Battle, first saving their own wounded, and then the captured wounded. The specific casualties of the Battle of Wangdu have not yet been counted, but Zheng Yuming has a good idea in his heart, although relying on explosives to easily break through the city, the casualties caused by the short combat after entering the city is much more than the Ulsan Dokou Battle, and the number of casualties may have doubled.
Zheng Yuming only in the palace to squint for a while, the residence began to come and go, began to deal with a variety of miscellaneous affairs, in addition to dealing with miscellaneous affairs, but also have to appease the defection of the royal capital of the nobles, to recruit neutral big family, as for those stubborn nobles, all are arrested and then plagiarized.
Zheng Yuming unconsciously busy until dark to end, also busy day and night Chu Chao Hui also have time to come back.
"Here!" As soon as Chu Chao Hui saw Zheng Yuming, he threw him two booklets.
"What is it?" Jung Yuming opened the booklet.
"You've been thinking about it all day long." Chu Chao Hui undid the armor on his body, which was already blackened by the blood splattered on it. Woody nosed over to Chu Chao Hui and sniffed, crouching vigilantly between his master and the murderer.
"Shit! So much jewelry! Is that where you were counting your belongings during the day when you were nowhere to be seen?" Zheng Yuming couldn't take his eyes off the booklet.
"Yes, after receiving the news from Wei Qing and Zhou Cheng both, I took Fan Jin to count the belongings." Chu Chao Hui finished taking off his armor and changed into a set of clean robes.
"Where's Van Zin?"
"Fan Jin is still counting the things copied from the mansion of Dr. Jiang and his cohorts, and what's in these two booklets is just a breakdown of Wei Qing's belongings that he transported out of the king's palace." Chu Chao Hui washed his face, bypassed the wood squatting in the center, and sat down next to Zheng Yuming. There is still a huge sum of money in the fiefdom of Dr. Jiang, and Zhou Cheng has already led a team of people to get up and take it."
"Haha! Wealthy!" Zheng Yuming's face was full of joy, it was still the plagiarism that brought in the most money.
"I knew you'd be happiest watching this!" Chu Chao Hui's hand encircled Zheng Yuming's body, his nostrils gradually coming closer together. "Yuming, this king city has been captured, today are we..."
Before Chu Chao Hui's words were finished, Da Niu's loud voice rang out from outside the palace doors.
