Let’s talk about the emperor’s hastily gone west because he was not very fast because he had a large number of people with him. The royal relatives were used to being raised in the capital on weekdays and were spoiled. They did not run around like this for a long distance, and they even complained about the bumpy carriages and horses.

Although he was slow, the emperor was not so worried. There were still a part of the soldiers in the capital, and he might be able to resist for a few days. Moreover, the road from the capital to Shu was rugged and dangerous, and the rebels would not be able to catch up with him at 1:30.

The emperor was not in a hurry, but Yang Guozhong was very anxious.

He was always uneasy to delay on the road. He just wanted to go to his territory as soon as possible and rely on the difficult terrain of Shu to rest assured.

When one line came to one place, there were only many military soldiers on the way, holding grass in their hands and serving them there.

The emperor saw it curious, ordered to stop the car, lifted the curtain and asked, "What are they doing here?"

Yang Guozhong rode on the horse and walked over and said, "Sage, this place is rich and has accumulated a lot of wealth, but I have suffered from the time of the time and cannot carry them all away. I am worried that these property may be obtained by the thieves in the future, but I will add materials to the thieves. Therefore, I want to burn all the treasures to avoid leaving them for the thieves."

What you can't take away by yourself will be destroyed and will not be left to the enemy.

Yang Guozhong was a good idea, but he was really cruel. He burned so much property and felt distressed if anyone saw it.

But Yang Guozhong had long been used to seeing mountains of gold and silver. For him, these wealth was just like dirt.

Li Bai regards money as dirt because he has no money and cannot satisfy his material things, so he has to take a step back and seek spiritual comfort. He is somewhat unwilling to be disdainful of his disdain for money.

The realm of Yang Guozhong seems to have reached another level. His disdain for money is because he is already rich enough to rival a country. He has whatever he wants. No matter how much money he has, it is just a number for him.

The emperor looked over and saw that a large number of money piled up into small hills not far away, and it seemed that there were a lot of money.

Even though he was used to seeing the emperor who was all kinds of gold and silver treasures, he still felt that it was a pity that he had burned like this.

The emperor sighed: "It's a pity to burn so much money, why not keep it."

Yang Guozhong stepped forward and said, "Sages don't have to worry. When we arrive in Shu, we will have no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry."

Standing in front of a small hill, the soldiers holding grass torches frowned.

So much money is really an astronomical figure for ordinary people. Just make a quick fuck and you can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Yang Guozhong has never lived a poor life, and he speaks without any pain in his back. Even if he is given to all the soldiers, it is better than burning it.

The soldiers were staring at the money blankly, with reluctance on their faces, either with heartache or anger on their faces, thinking that Yang Guozhong would hesitate if he ordered the burn later.

After hearing what Yang Guozhong said, the emperor said angrily: "When the bandits are coming, if they can't get anything, wouldn't they be demanding on the people and plunder them? It would be better to leave these treasures here, and would rather let the rebels take them than let the rebels hurt the people."

In theory, this method of cutting flesh and feeding wolves cannot cure the root cause.

But it is also a temporary measure. Maybe the wolf will let the people go for a while when he is full?

This is the reason why one can drag 1 and 1.

Although Li Longji was not a good emperor in the late stage and was deceived, he was not as stupid as he was. He still cared about the lives and deaths of the people.

It was originally just because he believed the words of the villain, and his arrogance, he felt that the world was stable, and the four places were rich, and singing and dancing became peaceful.

I saw many miserable situations on the way. At this time, the emperor had already vaguely understood that perhaps some of his previous views were wrong.

"Let them all retreat!" Thinking of this, the emperor sternly said.

Yang Guozhong was not good at refuting, so he resigned from the military service.

Holding a torch in hand, he looked at the soldiers who felt sorry for money, and then a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Then the emperor ordered people to drive forward and slowly climbed the convenient bridge ahead.

After crossing the bridge, Yang Guozhong immediately ordered someone to burn the bridge.

The emperor heard the shouts behind the car, lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw that the bridge was slowly burning.

The emperor frowned and hurriedly called Yang Guozhong and asked, "Why did you set fire again?"

Yang Guozhong replied: "This bridge is the only channel to the two sides of the straits. There are fewer bridges to prevent rebels from chasing them."

The emperor said: "The people also need to use this bridge to escape the pursuit of the thieves. If the bridge is burned, what should the people on the other side do if the rebels come."

Yang Guozhong said: "The dragon body of a saint is important. The life of a mere wet man is not worth 1 yuan, and he will die if he dies."

The emperor shook his head, "If it is so ruthless, what's the difference between it and a beast?"

So he hurriedly called Gao Lishi and asked him to lead the sergeant to exterminate him quickly.

Gao Lishi led his men to put out the fire and came to pronounce, "Sage, the fire has been put out."

"That's good." After the emperor said that, he wanted to put down the curtain.

"Sage." Gao Lishi said softly again.

The emperor paused and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Lishi looked around and saw Yang Guozhong walking away, then slowly shook his head and said softly: "What Yang Xiang did is too ruthless."

The emperor denied: "It's not that he is cruel and ruthless. What he thinks makes sense, but he doesn't think as much as we think."

Seeing this, Gao Lishi knew that he could not continue talking, so he stopped talking.

The car quickly arrived at Wangxian Palace in Xianyang. He didn't stop much on the way, and the carriages and horses were exhausted, so the emperor ordered him to rest here for a while.

Wangxian Palace is a palace in the Tang Dynasty, dozens of miles away from Chang'an. Since it was repaired, the emperor has not been here. After a long time, local officials also knew that the emperor would not come here, so they gradually became deserted.

At this time, due to the war, local officials had already run away early. It was already noon. Everyone had not eaten yet, but they were suffering from the fact that the supplies in the palace were plundered by the officials when they ran away, and there was nothing to eat at one time.

Yang Guozhong also frowned and ran away in a hurry. With the large number of people, the prepared dry food had already been eaten up. The emperor was starved on the way, but he was afraid that when he arrived in Shu, the emperor would inevitably hold a grudge.

At a loss, I heard that there was a bustling outside. It turned out that the people came to offer food when they heard that the emperor had arrived here.

The emperor was greatly moved and called the eunuch to bring in the food offered by the people. He saw that what he offered was either mixed grains or wheat beans. Compared with the delicacies he had eaten in the past, it was really hard to describe.

But at this time, I was so hungry that I could eat better than not. I could not care about so much.

The princes were already hungry and were panicked, rushing to snatch them with their hands to eat them, and they ate them all in a moment.

Yang Guozhong went out to buy Hu cakes and offered them to the emperor.

The emperor then ordered people to give the money and gifts they brought, and comfort the people with kind words.

The people burst into tears, and the emperor continued to cry.

The people cried because the emperor who was arrogant in the past ended up like this. However, they were not as arrogant as they imagined, but they were somewhat friendly to the people.

The emperor cried because he understood something: in real trouble, only the people are the most solid support and backing.

After a moment, a white-haired old man walked out of the crowd and cried and said, "It's not a day since An Lushan's intentions are hidden. Those who have previously said that they must rebel will be killed by the saint. This makes An Lushan even more confident. Since ancient times, the wise rulers have never blocked loyalty and kindness. There have been examples of Taizong and Wei Zheng before. However, in recent years, all the ministers in the court have avoided the taboos and advice, only know how to flatter and please favor, so the saint was blinded. I am a grass-roots person and knew that there would be today. But if things had not developed to this point, how could they have seen Tianrong and say this in front of the imperial court."

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he said furiously: "The ignorant old man dares to speak rebelliously and say such rebellious words."

"Come!" After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Take down this old man who speaks rebelliously and looks down on me."

The emperor was thoughtful by the old man's words and felt it all the time, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "What he said is reasonable, and there is no need to pursue it."

After thinking about it for a long time, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that what the old man said really woke up the dreamer. He paused and sighed: "It's all my fault for being stupid before, but now I really regret it."

So Wen Yan said to the old man: "Thank you, my father-in-law. I will remember your words today. You will not only have no mistakes, but also have merits. You should reward you."

He ordered people to bring money and reward the old man.

The old man waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I am so old, no matter how much money I have, it's useless to me, I just have to express what I see and feel."

The emperor nodded and empathized with it. He was already in his sixties and took many things lightly. What are gold, silver and jewelry, fame and fortune, and fame and fortune are no longer so important to him.

If it weren't for such a pure and weak heart, how could the emperor have cultivated immortals and asked questions before and ignored the government affairs?

—

Seeing the old man leave, the emperor glanced at everyone.

The royal ministers were eating these "pig food" that they wouldn't usually look down on.

They had something to eat, but the soldiers accompanying them didn't eat, and they all sucked their saliva.

The emperor had no choice but to let the soldiers figure out how to solve the problem by themselves.

So the soldiers scattered to the villages to find food.

In the war years, soldiers and bandits were the most worried about the people, because they always rely on their own force to rob them, and they didn't tell you anything, but they had no choice but to do anything to them.

The people were inevitably harassed again and were robbed and captured by a band.

That night, the inn wine 4 in the city was even more unbearable. They were occupied by soldiers. Many were beaten, smashed, looted, and captured, but they still had to be careful to serve these soldiers.
