Chapter 357: The temple is broken
Chapter 357: The temple breaks
The rain kept falling. According to locals, it had not been like this for several years. In the early morning of the next day, a large-scale mudslide landslide suddenly occurred on Qinggang Mountain, flooding the mountain roads. The mudslide slid less than a hundred steps from the barracks, destroying a sentry post, and more than a dozen patrol soldiers were unfortunately killed.
The army was in an uproar and retreated south for three miles away from Qinggang Mountain. The next five or six days passed, and the army did not rise and march towards Lingzhou. Li Longji had already received the news that An Sishun had abandoned the city and fled. The army no longer had to continue northward. Now Li Longji was concerned about An Sishun's whereabouts. He led 20,000 troops. Where would he escape?
Intuition told him that An Sishun would most likely escape to Hexi, where the troops were empty. If An Sishun really took Hexi, it would be an extremely troublesome thing. Li Longji was lying on the couch anxiously and was in a very irritable mood. He had sent hundreds of scouts to find out about An Sishun's news. After a moment, he would ask for the news. If there was no news, he would immediately order to beat people. In just one day and one night, hundreds of people were beaten and could not get up. He ordered Li Yu to lead 10,000 cavalrymen, accompanied by Changsun Quanxu, to intercept An Sishun in Huizhou.
Li Longji was not cured of illness and was exhausted, but the anger in his heart was like lava that had nowhere to vent in a volcano, rushing and boiling, and it was extremely hot. He was like a threatened injured beast, half lying on the couch, his eyes were covered with blood, and a terrifying look was emitted. He had no calmness and demeanor of a generation of emperors at all.
"Get the medicine again!" Li Longji pointed to the wooden box and whispered to Wu Xianyi.
Wu Xianyi was extremely frightened. She shook her head in tears and said, "Your Majesty, you can't take that medicine anymore!"
"Do you take it or not?" Li Longji's face began to twist and became extremely ferocious.
Wu Xianyi pulled up her skirt, knelt down in front of Li Longji's couch, and cried, "Your Majesty does not care about the dragon body, how about the people of the world?"
Li Longji glanced at her coldly, and the fierce light in his heart gradually gathered. Suddenly, he punched Wu Xianyi and hit her nose in the nose. Wu Xianyi wailed and covered her face and fell to the ground. Blood from the nose oozed out from the cracks of her fingers. The palace maids next to him were so scared that they had never seen the emperor lose his composure and actually beat someone with their own hands. Several palace maids were as shocked as clay sculptures. Wu Xianyi was lying on the ground and cried in pain. The palace maids suddenly reacted and came up to help her up together. Wu Xianyi's hair was scattered and his face was covered with blood. She had never suffered any grievance since she was a child. Today, the emperor broke her nose. She couldn't help but feel sad and covered her face and cried. The guards outside the tent were even more frightened. They all knew that whoever dared to enter the tent now would die.
A terrifying aura enveloped inside and outside the tent. At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed towards him from afar. The officer in charge was extremely excited.
"Go and report to Your Majesty quickly and report the emergency battle!"
The two guards did not dare to neglect and immediately turned around and entered the tent and reported: "Your Majesty, urgent battle report!"
Li Longji was getting up with difficulty and was about to go to the wooden box to get medicine. When he heard this, he stopped again, "Prime them to report it!"
After a while, several informants were taken into the tent by the guards. The officer in charge knelt down on his knees, raised the wooden box high, and said with a high voice: "Report to Your Majesty, General Guo Ziyi successfully intercepted An Sishun on the shore of the Xinquan Army. All 20,000 Shuofang Army surrendered to General Guo. An Sishun was desperate and forced to commit suicide. This is his head, and he will be dedicated to His Majesty!"
Upon hearing this news, Li Longji, who was originally sick and weak, stood up in surprise and said, "Didn't the Shuofang Army go to Hexi?"
"No, I will surrender to General Guo, and the An Sishun rebellion will be completely quelled."
"Okay! OK! OK!"
Li Longji said three times in a row. He suppressed his excitement and took the wooden box with trembling hands. Unexpectedly, the wooden box was heavy and he almost failed to fall to the ground. A guard hurriedly took it, held the wooden box onto the table, and opened it carefully. He saw An Sishun's head in the lime. His eyes were hard to rest, and his gray and dull eyes were staring at him.
"An Sishun, I can make you the prefect, or even make you the prime minister, but you insist on disobeying my will, so you can only die. This is no wonder."
At this time, Li Longji was filled with joy. Shuofang's military power transition was finally successfully resolved. Despite the constant twists and turns, as long as he took action personally, the problem would be solved. This is enough to prove that his authority is still difficult for anyone to shake. Shuofang's officer was solved, which made his army reach 200,000. Then, if the next governor was solved, he would have strong strength. Guo Ziyi was a talented person, loyal. Although he was old, he could still be left to the emperor's grandson to stabilize his country. However, what he needed most now was to inspire morale.
Thinking of this, he pointed at An Sishun's head and said, "Hang it on a high pole, let all the soldiers, no! Let everyone in the world take a look. This is the end of disobeying my will!"
Everyone picked up An Sishun's head and went out. Li Longji was in a good mood. He found that he could move, so he slowly walked to the box, opened the sandalwood box, took out a small red sandalwood box from it, and opened it. There were vermilion pills inside. Li Longji's hand slowly reached towards the pills, hesitated for a moment, and took out four pills at once. This was twice his usual dose. Li Longji stared at the pills, and the strange color appeared in his eyes a few days ago. These pills were tempting him strongly. He suddenly put the pills into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them. He picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea.
He walked back to the bed and lay down again. For a moment, a strong desire arose from under his lower abdomen. This desire he hadn't seen in several years. He wanted a hundred women now.
"Go! Call Huarui and Sijiao."
After a moment, two young girls from Qingzhou were taken to Li Qing'an. One of them was surnamed Lu and the other was surnamed You. They were both daughters of wealthy families in Qingzhou. They were extremely beautiful and served Li Longji very well. They had been named a talented person by Li Longji. They knelt down and saluted, "I will meet your Majesty!"
The palace maid had pulled the curtain up, and several male guards left the tent. Li Longji squinted his eyes and looked at their chests and abdomen, and ordered: "Take off all the clothes!"
The rain gradually became lighter. In Yang Guozhong's camp, Yang Guozhong was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back. He had just received an emergency message from Taiyuan Yin Yang Guanghui. An Lushan used the excuse to intercept An Sishun and sent troops to Hedong. The commander of Jingxing Zhao Yaguang fled in sight. The 100,000 troops were divided into two groups. Shi Siming led 70,000 troops to march south, and Tian Qianzhen led 30,000 troops to the north, snatching passes and capturing passes, with an unstoppable momentum.
At this time, Yang Guozhong felt that he was in a state of great anxiety. He never expected An Lushan to send troops to Hedong. He swore in front of Li Longji two days ago and promised that An Lushan would never have any unfair intentions, but now.
.
.
.
Yang Guozhong felt extremely bitter in his heart. The gold sent by An Lushan was originally so yellow and tempting, but now, the gold has become extremely heavy.
"Yang Xiangguo is very leisurely!"
A voice suddenly came from behind. Yang Guozhong turned his head and saw Chen Xilie standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
"I am not leisurely, Chen Shangshu is joking!"
Yang Guozhong beat him up. He was really disgusted with Chen Xilie coming to him at this time, and frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong with Shangshu Chen?"
Chen Xilie walked in, without Yang Guozhong, so he sat directly on the couch and smiled gloomyly: "Actually, Yang Xiangguo should be very nervous, right!"
Yang Guozhong jumped suddenly in his heart and glanced at him vigilantly. Did he know too? It is impossible, who would reveal the news to him?
He pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what Shangshu Chen is saying at all. If Shangshu Chen has nothing else, then I will have to rest. Please ask Shangshu Chen!"
Seeing that he issued an expulsion order, Chen Xilie stood up and laughed and said, "What a pity! What a pity!"
He said twice in a row, but then left.
One of the things Chen Xilie regretted most in his life was to surrender to Yang Guozhong. At that time, Yang Guozhong's power was at its peak, while Li Linfu was declining day by day. He envied his power, so he left the prime minister and threw himself into Yang Guozhong's arms. Unexpectedly, Li Longji did not allow the Yang party to dominate the family, so he dismissed his position as the Left Prime Minister and changed his position to the Minister of Justice, and gave the Left Prime Minister to Wang Gong. That's fine, but who would have thought that the imperial concubine suddenly fell out of favor and was taken over by Wu Xianyi in the harem. Yang Guozhong's backstage collapsed. Everyone could see that Yang Guozhong could not be the prime minister for a few years. Not to mention that Yang Guozhong had no backstage and was not capable. More importantly, once the emperor's eldest grandson came to power, Yang Guozhong would definitely be finished. Some ministers who were preparing to rely on Yang Guozhong changed their courses, and many middle and lower-level officials who had already attached to Yang Guozhong also joined the Wang party and the Eastern Palace Party.
Chen Xilie was in an extremely embarrassing state. He betrayed the Prime Minister and had already brought about a reputation of infidelity. If he left Yang Guozhong again, his reputation would be completely ruined.
Chen Xilie's anger was so full that he had nowhere to vent, so he naturally moved to Yang Guozhong's head. He hated himself for being blind, but he hated Yang Guozhong even more. Today, he received the news from the newsman's news that An Lushan entered Hedong. The news was like a knife. Chen Xilie realized that this knife could stab Yang Guozhong hard. Yang Guozhong praised An Lushan's loyalty in front of him a few days ago. How do he explain it now?
He came to find Yang Guozhong to ridicule him first, then look at Yang Guozhong's panic look, and finally complained to Li Longji. Unexpectedly, Yang Guozhong was so cold, which further made him determined to sue Yang Guozhong.
After leaving the big tent, he immediately walked quickly towards Li Longji's big tent in the rain. The sky was foggy, and Chen Xilie was wet for a moment. He trotted to Li Longji's big tent, but several guards stopped him, "Shangshu Chen, please stay!"
Chen Xilie hurriedly bowed and said, "I have an urgent matter to report to the emperor!"
The guard said: "Shangshu Chen, the emperor is not feeling well now, and it is not very convenient."
Chen Xilie glanced back from the corner of his eyes, and saw Yang Guozhong walking quickly towards him, obviously to stop him. He said anxiously: "It is indeed a big matter that is urgent. It is related to the country of the Tang Dynasty. Please let me report it outside the tent."
Seeing that Chen Xilie was covered in rain and was embarrassed, his eyes were filled with anxiety and pleading, and when he heard that it was a major matter related to the country, the guards did not dare to stop him and said, "Crime Chen only needs to report outside the tent."
"I can't save it!" Chen Xilie walked quickly to the big tent.
The big tent was panting, accompanied by heavy breathing, Li Longji panted like a cow, pressing his two pink buttocks on his hands and hitting back and forth desperately. His face was red, as if it was burned by fire, and his eyes were filled with blood. It looked like an iron stove burned to a thousand degrees, about to explode.
The desire in his heart was about to burn him down. He had not recovered during this period of time and had indulged himself. He had seriously overdrawn his energy. He just took four pills to help the fragrance of flowers in love. This was the dosage he had never taken before. This medicine was extremely fierce. One pill was enough to make him exhaust his energy overnight. This time he increased the dosage four times in his extreme physical weakness. He could no longer control himself. His body seemed to have been controlled by the devil and did not belong to him at all.
At this moment, Chen Xilie came from outside the tent anxiously, "Your Majesty, I have a big deal!"
Li Longji was shocked, but his body couldn't stop.
"What's the matter?" he asked in a panting and trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, An Lushan's 100,000 troops suddenly sent troops to Hedong, and he rebelled!"
This news suddenly poured into the burning furnace body like extremely cold ice water. The dark energy accumulated over the years finally broke out completely at this moment. Li Longji only felt that the spine on his back was broken by a stick, and it hurt to the bone. He screamed and collapsed softly to the ground.
On April 20, 12th year of Tianbao, Li Longji's illness relapsed in the military camp. The accumulated illness over the past few years was like a mountain collapse and the earth was broken. This time he could not escape again. The imperial doctor rescued him for a whole night. Although he barely saved Li Longji's breath, he could not wake up again. The imperial doctor told Yang Guozhong that the emperor could no longer manage state affairs, and he didn't know when his coma would be awakened.
In the military camp, Yang Guozhong was anxious and as if he was crazy. If Li Longji died, his deadline would come. He immediately ordered the guards to block the news and did not allow anyone to disclose it. He forced several imperial doctors and two new talents present to die by drinking poisonous wine. He ordered people to detain Chen Xilie to prevent him from taking risks and escaping into Beijing.
The prince Yang Guozhong originally supported was Li Yan, but Li Yan was detained in Yinggoufang and had no future. At this time, King Shou Li Mao quietly approached Yang Guozhong and met Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong turned to support King Shou.
But King Shou is far away in Xiangyang, and it is too late to go up. Yang Guozhong is so anxious that he turns around. Although he knows that Li Longji is extremely weak, he did not expect that he would fall down at this time, fall into a deep coma, and wake up in a long time. What should he do now? Once Li Yu knows this news, he will ascend the throne and his death will come.
Now no matter what, Li Yu cannot get this news. In addition to Li Yu, Yang Guozhong is also worried that Li Yu and Li Yu brothers also know the news. Their mother Wu Xianyi is the opponent of Yang Guifei. If she gains power, it will be detrimental to her.
After thinking about it, only King Rong Li Wan is the only King Rong. King Rong has a good relationship with him. Although he is not as good as Li Mao and he is an alliance, at least they have no grudges and should be able to use each other. Moreover, Li Wan can also take charge of the troops. Yang Guozhong is very worried that the 200,000 army will lose control and he will die in the chaos, but he cannot find a trustworthy general.
He urgently needed King Rong to come back and control the 200,000 army. If King Rong could ascend the throne, Yang Guozhong would also have the merit of supporting him. Thinking of this, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Li Wan.
After finishing this matter, he turned around and tried to sort out the loopholes in front of him. At this time, he suddenly remembered that before he could control Wu Xianyi, he urgently ordered several confidants to say, "You can go to Wu Xianyi's tent quickly and put her under house arrest, so that she will not have any contact with the outside world."
His subordinates took the order and left. Yang Guozhong sat down tiredly. He gently pressed his temple, thinking that there were still loopholes that had not been blocked. His mind was confused and he was like a mess. He was confused. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember anything. He just felt that all loopholes had been blocked.
Although Yang Guozhong had considered the blockade news as thoughtful as possible, he still made mistakes. A palace maid who was present at the time fainted after Li Longji fainted and was dragged to the back tent. Everyone was in a mess and missed her.
This palace maid is Wu Xianyi's confidant. Every time Wu Xianyi and Li Longji have sex at the end, she always comes to wipe Wu Xianyi's body. She is thrown outside the tent and wakes up quickly. From the conversation between the guards outside the tent, she knows the truth. She sneaks out of the tent while the others are not prepared. Before Yang Guozhong has time to control Wu Xianyi, he tells her the news.
Wu Xianyi hid in another tent because she was broken. When she heard the news, she was frightened and hurriedly pulled the palace maid and asked, "Can you really really not go to the emperor?"
The palace maid was so scared that she trembled all over and said in a trembling voice, "Empress, the emperor has indeed not died, but he has been unconscious for a night and has not woken up. He can drink medicine, but he just can't wake up. Yang Xiangguo has blocked the news and heard that he has killed the imperial physician and two talented people."
"Then what should I do? What should I do?"
Wu Xianyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, spinning back and forth. At this time, the palace maid reminded her: "Empress, why not tell the two little princes this news."
Wu Xianyi was reminded all of a sudden, yes! She could tell her two sons and let them decide what to do. She immediately wrote two short secret letters, "The emperor is critically ill, come to the camp quickly!"
She stamped her seal and sent two confidant eunuchs to sneak out of the tent and give it to her two sons. As soon as the two eunuchs left, the people sent by Yang Guozhong arrived.
