Mrs. Liang Yue of Guo State fled with her son Deng Wei and several followers.
They avoided Jintai County, which was the only way for the emperor to enter Shu, and took a detour to Lu County. "Let's go around it!" the accompanying guards suggested.
"But the dry food is gone." Deng Wei rubbed his belly, "I'm dirty all over. Let's go to the city to take a shower and change clothes, and have a good meal!"
Mrs. Guo Guo hesitated for a moment, and her stomach growled at the right time. "Enter the city."
It was just dawn, and the soldiers at the city gate did not make things difficult for them.
The group of people felt happy, and the entourage suggested again, "Madam, officials everywhere are disheartened. We must be careful about them joining the rebels."
-The heads of your mother and son are worth a lot of money.
What Sui never said was that everyone in the world was dissatisfied with the emperor, but the emperor's majesty could not be criticized, so he targeted the Liang family.
The gossip about Mrs. Guo and the emperor has spread all over the world for a long time. It is hard to tell what the local officials will do when they learn that she has come to Lu County.
Mrs. Guo Guo sighed, "That's it, let's find a counter traveler, take a bath and change clothes, and then leave." The group found a reverse traveler and went in, but they didn't know that there were two sergeants watching behind them. Immediately, the news spread to the county.
The county magistrate Chen De took the case and said, "The world is in chaos all because of the Liang family. How dare you come to Lu County?"...
Mrs. Guo also suffered a lot during her escape, mainly from fatigue and fear. She did not lack food.
Over the years, the emperor had an affair with her and received countless rewards. People in Chang'an were called the richest people. In these years, her family had become extremely wealthy, and they could be said to be pampered.
There were very few opportunities to bathe along the way, and Mrs. Guo Guo couldn't bear it for a long time. She sat in the bathtub and sighed happily.
Dong Dong Dong! The sound of heavy footsteps came.
For some reason, Mrs. Guo Guo's heart tightened. "It's right here!"
Mrs. Guo Guo recognized this voice. It was the guy who brought them to the room earlier. Outside the door, a man said in a deep voice: "But Mrs. Guo Guo?"
Mrs. Guo Guo said desperately: "Yes."
"I'll save you some face and come out on your own!"
Next door, Deng Wei shouted: "Who are you waiting for? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath?" "Old Fulu County Magistrate Chen De!"
Mrs. Guo Guo stood up slowly, looked down at her plump body, her eyes were filled with deathly silence. She slowly wiped the body that the emperor was obsessed with, and stepped out of the tub.
Next to her were new clothes bought by her entourage. She put on the new clothes.
Reminds me of what happened when I was a girl.
At that time, the family had a large population and was very lively.
She and her two sisters played together all day long and were very close. They could even exchange each other's clothes.
At that time, Mrs. Guo Guo even teased: "Amei, are you going to change your husband in the future?"
Later, the sisters each married, and the younger sister became the wife of the emperor's grandson, while Mrs. Guo Guo only married a minor official.
Not long after, Mrs. Guo Guo became a widow, and life with her son was not easy at her husband's house. At this time, someone came from Chang'an, but it was her sister's envoy.
The younger sister actually became the emperor's woman.
After learning that the situation of their mother and son was not good, the imperial concubine sent people to take them to Chang'an to enjoy happiness. When they arrived in Chang'an, they saw the wealth and honor, and Mrs. Guo Guo was fascinated by it.
Later, she noticed the flash of heartbeat in the emperor's eyes when he looked at her. She hesitated.
But after experiencing the influence of wealth, she was no longer willing to give up. Moreover, she wanted more. So...
What if I hadn't come to Chang'an?
If so, how can I live my life in Chang'an? Mrs. Guo Guo was startled.
Then, she may live an ordinary life, and may still be safe in Shu, but she will not be reduced to this situation.
She betrayed her sister! "This is retribution!" Mrs. Guo Guo said with a sad smile. Bang!
The door was kicked open.
Outside the door, there are officials who look like wolves and tigers.
Chen De said solemnly, "***, your Liang family has brought trouble to the world, you should be punished!" "Hahahaha!"
Guo State
The lady smiled so wildly that her branches quivered... What the emperor liked most was to see her smile.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Guo Guo gasped, covering her chest, and said sarcastically: "My sister stays in the opera garden all day without asking about foreign affairs, how can she bring trouble to the world? My brother only obeys the emperor's orders...
He had repeatedly suggested that Shi Zhongtang was ambitious, but he was scolded and ignored."
Everyone knows these things, but because of the venerable taboo, the emperor is naturally innocent. Therefore, the Liang family became the scapegoats.
"Who is causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty? That old dog!" Chen De looked livid, "Do it!"
"Spare my life, spare me!" Deng Wei was begging next door, "Auntie, save me! Save me!" The clerks rushed in like wolves and tigers.
Mrs. Guo Guo looked up into the void and said with a bitter smile: "Amei, I can't help you!"
In September of the 15th year of the Daqian Dynasty, Mrs. Guo Guo and her son Deng Wei fled to Lu County, where they were captured and killed by Lu County Magistrate Chen De.
...
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yang Songcheng summoned the heads of the big clans and said angrily: "There was a chaos last night, how could I cause trouble?"
But all he saw was suspicion.
We are all old foxes. Who doesn’t know that the most dangerous place is the safest place? It’s dark under the lamp!
Yang Songcheng sighed, "I swear."...
The rebels dispersed.
The emperor was sitting in the tent.
Several palace maids were repairing the gash, and they didn't dare to look at him. Everyone regarded me as a piece of shit.
The emperor looked around, only Han Shitou remained the same.
Everyone in the world has betrayed me, but Stone is still loyal. For the first time, the emperor's cruel heart was moved. He felt his hands were itchy, and subconsciously said: "Get ready to sing and dance." The singing and dancing are his.
This hobby will never change.
But as soon as the words came out, the emperor was stunned. The woman was no longer there.
Who will sing and dance with me?
He wanted to get up, but he felt that his waist and legs were sore. He insisted on holding on to the table and stood up, "Go to the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor was still living a happy life. He was drinking a little wine. When he saw him coming in, he looked at him sideways and asked, "Have you betrayed your relatives and left?"
The emperor sat down and said, "Here comes the wine." The palace maid brought the wine.
The emperor drank one glass after another, and finally picked up the wine bottle and poured it into his mouth.
However, the Supreme Emperor took his time to taste wine and eat side dishes. He put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "The army can lack everything except food. Even a world-famous general will have nothing to do if the army runs out of food.
Who do you think you are? There were warning signs early in the morning, but you turned a deaf ear and were still intoxicated by your own power and tactics, feeling that everything was under control. Little did you know, someone was using this to cause trouble."
"It's Yang Songcheng." The emperor put down the wine bottle, reached out to wipe the wine stains on his beard, and sneered: "He hopes that I die here, so that Saburo can succeed to the throne. He can control the government."
"The army is in chaos. The thing to do at this time is not to kill the Liang brothers and sisters."
The Supreme Emperor said sarcastically: "At that time, all you had to do was take down a few idiots who were extremely angry with the public and then make the Liang brothers and sisters come out to apologize and demote them to common people, and those rebels would have their way.
Killing people, apologizing, and being demoted to civilians, this is like a wave, one wave after another. Those vulgar warriors suddenly felt satisfied. At this point, your majesty has been preserved, and the Liang brothers and sisters have also been preserved. The ministers and the people of the world naturally They will think you are affectionate, righteous, and responsible. Wouldn’t it be better?”
"Why are you talking about this at this time?" The emperor sneered: "Under siege by the rebels, how could you be so calm?"
The Supreme Emperor suddenly sighed sadly, "That year, you and I launched a palace coup. I am in charge, and you led those people to raid the palace. My mother-in-law is very skillful. To be honest, I am not sure. I keep receiving news that you are facing Questioning the palace guards, you still fooled them calmly. At that time, you were so majestic and heroic..."
The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor and said, "Once upon a time, your beard and hair were all gray, and you no longer had that heroic spirit. Why is this?"
"I have been sitting in that position for a long time." The emperor was a little confused. "Sitting there, I felt that I was a god. I turned my hands into clouds and turned my hands into rain. One word can make a country prosper, and one word can determine life or death."
"Then you are lost." The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "Aniang once said that when you become an emperor, you must have a goal and a country in your heart. Otherwise, you will soon be lost in the desire for power. I did it first The emperor's time was too short to realize what he said. At this moment, it seems that I am really awake."
But the emperor was lost.
"Those rebels are very wary of me at the moment. If the rebels pursue me later, I am worried that they will flee."
This is what the emperor is worried about.
"What is the way for an emperor to survive? Majesty." The Emperor took a sip of wine, "If an emperor who has lost his dignity refuses to retreat, his ministers will bite him sooner or later."
"You just want to see me as miserable as you." The emperor sneered, "You are the Supreme Emperor. If I abdicate, what will you be?"
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Mrs. Your Majesty." The two of them were speechless.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Shitou came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Guo Guo was killed in Lu County." Is that woman dead?
There was no sadness in the emperor's eyes, "The local officials have also treated me lightly. If I go to Shu, I am worried that the local officials will not be friendly to the wealthy people."
"Unless they want to rebel." The Supreme Emperor said contemptuously: "Even if I go, they won't dare to do anything. But you are cowardly."
"That's true." The emperor rubbed his face with both hands, "I'm a little uneasy."
"I know why you are uneasy." The Supreme Emperor said with some schadenfreude: "You must want to form an army and control it at this moment. In this way, there is still a chance for a comeback.
But all this depends on the battle outside Guanzhong. If the rebels win, Shi Zhongtang will have to suppress Guanzhong first and won't bother chasing you.
If that evil bastard wins, you have to be careful. He is under the banner of rebellion, and it is natural for him to avenge his father. If he wins a big victory, he will be chased after him."
"Shi Zhongtang had the right time, the right place, and the right people, so how could he be defeated?"
"But if Shi Zhongtang wins, the Tang Dynasty will be gone. If that evil bastard wins, at least the country of Zuo can continue."
The emperor raised his eyes, his eyes as cold as gods.
"If I am no longer here, what will happen to Zuo of the Tang Dynasty? What does it have to do with me?"
Yang Songcheng hid in the tent and received news from all parties.
"Your Majesty has gone to the Supreme Emperor's place."
"The military generals gathered spontaneously to discuss matters." "Officials are forming cliques." Chaos!
Yang Songcheng shook his head.
"The key is the battle."
Zheng Qi rubbed his temples, "I hope Shi Ni can win."...
Zhou Zun and his son watched a big play last night. After returning, many dignitaries came to ask for an audience. Once they met, they gave various hints to express their admiration for Zhou's uncle.
Zhou Zun knew that these people were placing bets after the emperor's prestige was ruined. It was not until dawn that the crowd subsided.
Zhou Qin yawned and said, "Da Lang, you can trust me. These people must have prepared letters of surrender. Once Shi Ni wins, they will have the letters sent."
"It's all for profit!" Zhou Zun understood this clearly, "However, these people are quite dissatisfied with Zitai."
"Who allowed him to be so cruel to the wealthy people in northern Xinjiang?" Zhou Qin was helpless. Then his servant reported it, and Wang Douxiang asked to see him.
It seemed that Wang Douxiang had not slept all night, and the bags under her eyes were a little big.
"The emperor's majesty has been wiped out, and people's hearts are scattered." Wang Douxiang had a strange look in his eyes, "What does Zhou mean?" "Take advantage of his illness to kill him?" Zhou Zun said playfully: "My son-in-law is fighting with Shi Ni.
"And..." He looked at Wang Douxiang, "If I take action at this moment, the army will be in chaos. Those soldiers will be dissatisfied and will definitely take advantage of the situation to cause chaos. How many people will die?"
Most of the people accompanying him were powerful people, and everyone had a network of connections behind them. Once the Zhou family took action, they almost offended the powerful people in the world.
Wang Douxiang shook his head, "The emperor's prestige is now in ruins. I'm worried that when he arrives in Shu,
I will be cruel."
The emperor has lost everything he can lose. When he arrives in Shu, the first thing he must do is to form an army. Once he has an army in hand, what will he do?
The Zhou family, the Wang family...all are enemies. Even Yang Songcheng is in danger.
"Everything is waiting for the outcome of the war."
The rapid sound of horse hooves made Wang Douxiang startled, "Who is racing horses in the camp?" There were many people in the camp, and there were already rules against horse racing.
"This is big news!" Zhou Zun stood up.
Someone outside shouted: "The prince has captured Jiagu Pass!"
