[Thirty-five] The destruction of the city
Jiang Chengjia left Changshan and set out towards the southernmost part of the Great Wei Dynasty, completely away from the capital. She lived in Hongfeng Village in disheartenedness, guarding the memories here, and couldn't get up at a lingering bed.
Before the car drove to Linhe, she sent someone to return the Yueming order that Dou Taijun once gave her to Ning Nanyou, hoping to help him within her ability.
After that, she no longer paid attention to the matter and had no energy to struggle. She was too ill, which was more serious than ever before when she was lying on a bed due to illness. She was so sick that she could hardly open her eyes and fell asleep day and night. She only had two hours a day to wake up.
But how long after, she had turned yellow and skinny. Qianshan and Nianqian tried every means to treat her, but they did not see any effect on the girl's condition. They could only try their best to maintain her life, but they could not restore her to her former vigor.
In this way, they avoided the world in Hongfeng Village, stayed away from the court, and lived in seclusion for a full three years.
Three years, time flies and flies in an instant.
The world isolated outside Hongfeng Village also undergoes earth-shaking changes.
The massacre of 10,000 people in the Yuanshi County of Changshan County made Emperor Wei even more ill. While the prince was in charge of the country, the Emperor Wei issued an edict, which was charged with the crime of King Rui's intention to rebel and create a bloody case in Yuanshi City, and ordered the Imperial Guards to take action to capture Ning Nanyou and return to the case. After being brought to justice, they were directly strangled to the spot.
Ning Zheng, as the regent, did not object to this decree for the first time. He did not defend King Rui, and even submitted a memorial to ask Emperor Wei not to worry about the face of the royal family. After encircling Ning Nanyou, he cut off his head and hung it on the city gate for three days to guard. Such a proposal shocked the court and the public and caused a wave of controversy.
The culprit of the Changshancheng case, Ning Nankun, cleared his suspicion of rebelling against King Rui by many subjects of the Wei Dynasty. He was hidden back to Huai Kingdom by Ning Zheng to watch all the affairs of the fiefdom of Huai vassal for him.
Ning Nanyou, who escaped from Changshan, did not return to the military camp, but took Zhen Qun to the north.
Before the Great Wei court issued the order to strangle him, the day before the emperor ordered people to siege them, he escaped from Luoyang City with an unknown force and half a month later with Ning Nanyou who was waiting in the river.
The crowd ran away to the north and disappeared without a trace.
As for Mu Xunxuan's Cao Xiu, Nuannuan and Biyun were taken back to the old Dou family house in Chang'an by Dou Xunen.
Just as the court's army was searching for the traces of the people of the Rui Palace and were busy fighting against the Fu thief, Yueming ordered the rebels to reappear for half a year and suddenly set off in Jizhou. He occupied several cities such as Wei County, Guangping, Julu, Changshan, Boling, Bohai, Hejian at the speed of thunder, as well as Zhongshan Qinghe and Shangdang Chaoge as the boundary. He took the land for himself and completely broke with the Great Wei.
In just four or five years, the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty was divided into three parts, completely losing its original appearance.
In the three years after the Changshan bloody case, Chengmian completely let go of his obsession with Jiang Chengjia, followed the arrangements of General Cheng and Mrs. Jiang, and married Li Laolan, the legitimate granddaughter of the old tutor Li Chengyi. The Li family and the Cheng family got married. Luoyang cheered. It was the only happy event since the wars of the Great Wei Dynasty for many years. The ministers of the aristocratic families all went to bless with generous gifts, full of praise and joy.
The Cheng family was destroyed overnight, Chenggeya and his wife Sheng Danyun died on the guillotine. No one of the men of the Cheng family was spared, and the girls were exiled to the frontier as military prostitutes. The whole family of the Cheng family, only the elderly Mrs. Jiang survived. Emperor Wei asked him to set off for a trip to return to Linhe Jiang family, without any involvement in killing.
Ning Zheng completely removed the connections left by Chengge Cliff in the capital with the speed of lightning, forcing the disciples of the Cheng family to escape in a hurry, and fled away from the capital. The Cheng family was defeated, and the famous general's palace instantly turned into a deserted house with empty buildings.
Jiang Chengjia, who was far away in the congregation, learned from Jiang Taigong that the Cheng family had been killed. She was startled from the illness and a mouthful of blood surged from her depressed chest, causing her to vomit blood and vomit, and she fainted directly.
When the girl woke up, it was already three days later.
Qianshan worked hard all night to take care of the seriously ill Jiang Chengjia, unable to hide her sadness and sorrow. She didn't know why things had developed into this way, and she didn't expect that Jiang Chengjia's illness would be so serious.
This lively girl who once rode her horse in the bright sunshine is now just hanging her breath, dying, as if she will die at any time.
When Jiang Chengjia woke up, he was as stiff as a rotten wood, extremely weak and weak. He only knew to pull her sleeves and shouted repeatedly: "Ashan, take me to the capital. Please, take me to the capital."
Qianshan held back her tears, held her cold palm tightly, and said, "Girl! With your current identity, how can you return to the capital? Ning Zheng is waiting to capture you and use your Princess Rui to deal with Yun Jingjun and the others! How do you go back?"
"We, let's go back quietly..." She was so tired that she couldn't speak, but she still forced herself to beg.
Qianshan said helplessly: "Even if you are back now... what can you change since things have happened?"
Jiang Chengjia stared blankly at the bed hanging above her head, her eyes as empty as a dry well, without a trace of fresh air. She murmured to herself: "It's my fault, it's my fault. If it's not for me that I dare not face the reality and do not want to go back to the capital. Perhaps, maybe I can turn the tide with my brother and save the Cheng clan. It's my fault. If it's not me, the emperor wouldn't have suspected that the Cheng clan was unfaithful, nor would he think that General Cheng and Prince Rui's Mansion have an unbreakable relationship. Qianshan is all caused by me, it's my fault. If I haven't escaped for the past three years, then all this wouldn't have happened."
"Girl, what does this have to do with you? You can't always attribute all your mistakes to yourself. Things are impermanent, how can you and I keep changing?" Qianshan couldn't bear to listen to her continue and comforted her with all her strength.
Jiang Chengjia simply stopped talking, just like Qianshan wished, no longer talking nonsense and begging.
But in the next few days, she could not sleep peacefully almost every night, and was awakened by nightmares every night, and was ill in a daze, and her bones were broken.
