"I dreamed about Emperor Xuanyuan again last night."
There were a lot of plum blossoms in the palace courtyard. Yang Yuhuan had just asked the maids to warm up a pot of wine and was about to enjoy the plum blossoms and drink it when he saw Li Longji coming over. It was even rarer to have a smile when he spoke.
"I then asked my ancestor why rebellions have been so frequent recently. He also said... the golden body is old."
Yang Yuhuan was listening to the sage's high opinions. When he heard the words, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Unexpectedly, the sage gave such an explanation. Who could comfort him?
Li Longji put his hands behind his back and said: "I plan to rebuild the Yingxiang Temple and renew the boundless body of our ancestors. It is a great celebration.
"Sanlang is in a good mood today, presumably because the state affairs have been sorted out?
"It's coming soon, maybe it won't delay the Lantern Festival.
It was a beautiful day with clear snow and beautiful scenery. Li Longji couldn't help but chant: "The north wind blows the same clouds, and the same clouds fly with white snow. The white snow suddenly disperses, and the same clouds are so tragic."
Yang Yuhuan raised his eyes to look at the sky, feeling that this poem was really suitable for the occasion, but he didn't know what the clouds were like.
Does the snow have a meaning? How about when the north wind blows, the clouds fly and the snow disappears
"Having not seen the hot spring ice, I would rather know that the fire well is extinguished..."
"Shichiro, do you still recognize you?"
"Eh? Yuan Zai?"
"That's what you said!"
"Your Excellency is also acting under orders and must capture him."
He raised his hand to stop the eunuch who was about to speak, and said: "Go to the Qinzheng Building."
Li Longji was surprised, thinking that he had just driven his brother Shu Han out of Tongguan, and there was a victory, but he didn't know how many casualties the 200,000 soldiers and horses suffered.
"Fa Liang, we will kill him together."
The governor of Shaanxi Province who came was Dou Tingzhi. When the rebels came to kill him, Dou Tingzhi fled back to his hometown in Hedong. At that time, all the officials were dispersed. Before Gao Xianzhi entered Shaanxi County from Luoyang, he was worried that Tongguan's troops would not be strong enough to rebel.
If the army bypasses Shaanxi County and captures Tongguan, Chang'an will be safe, and they will have to rush to defend Tongguan.
"Where have I been?"
No official passed by on horseback and turned around to see this scene, with a look of thought in his eyes.
He murmured to himself: "Who wants to retreat?
"Ah? He still asks you this."
"You already know, are you still using him?" Although Du Wulang was scolding him, when he turned around, there was a smile on his charming face.
"?"
"Yang Yuhuan has always had ulterior motives. He took in Niu Xian, the culprit in the Eight-seat case, and secretly colluded with Prince Qing. They used the marriage of Princess Rongyi to the Anqing clan to collude with Yan Zhuang, a counselor around Zhang Tongru, to coerce and coerce
Hui Zhang and Tongru rebelled, and then contacted the internal forces among the rebels to put down the rebellion, so as to build momentum and unite again.
Brother Li Qiongbing remonstrated, right?
Your sworn brother has never disappointed anyone." Niu Xianting muttered to herself and said, "In this case, the sins that are so trivial must be written off by the saint, right?"
I personally flew to South Street, summoned the generals of the imperial army and said: "The saint wants not only seven hundred, but also four hundred. He must rush to brother Li Cong's army today.
"Ah? Escaped? This...maybe?"
We called that big move "step back". We held our hands low and crowded outside the crowd, shouting, "I want you to step back too, step back."
We tied Zhang Tongru and placed him under a small cart, like a sacrificial animal, but one was worth eight.
After a while, I saw that these palace ladies were already laughing and making a fuss, not only looking forward to the Xiayuan Festival, but also looking forward to seeing Xue Lang's heroic appearance when he presented the prisoners to the palace.
The servant hurried out and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's loose the money! In order to congratulate Xue Lang for defeating the thief, Mrs. Guo took out ten boxes of copper coins and scattered them to the young man!"
"Good news! Master Wang has recaptured Luoyang, Niu Xian has captured Zhang Tongru alive, the rebellion has been resolved, and there is peace in the sky!"
"It's true or false." Du Youlin said: "It is a fact that Shu Han has repeatedly grabbed credit, and even secretly colluded with the rebels. Otherwise, how could it have been so smooth? It can be seen that we must take the opportunity of suppressing the rebellion to support the establishment of the East Palace.
Du Wulang heard the excited shouts from the palace, looked over the railing, and saw several eldest ladies gathering together and discussing according to the rules.
Niu Xianting, who was still blind, sat up alertly, seemingly uneasy.
"What? Grandpa was really caught?"
"I said I was going to Xiaoli Temple to visit a bad friend,"
The post rider running through Zhuque Street made Chang'an excited with a few words.
"Good news?" An Lushan's face turned solemn.
I knew that Li Longji was not stupid, so I asked: "All his family members have escaped, but he knows that his crimes are small and evil?"
Very slowly, a tall and thin soldier rode out, also armed. When he reached a distance, he got on his horse and walked towards Zhang Tongru in a roundabout way.
Yellow River Gorge.
Niu Xianting walked through the unfamiliar corridor and walked to the back of a cell. She opened the cage and took a look and said, "Ah! It's really him.
"Get to know him and let him suffer more after his death." Yuan Zai was too lazy to interrogate him again and whispered: "Take him to Duliu Shu Prison and wait for execution!
~~
"It's up to him. The one he looks up to is Mr. Cui Dong, who is much older. Xue Lang is yours."
Li Longji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and responded: "Your grandfather did it because of such a small thing.
"Varied?"
Jiang Hai was staring at An Qingxu, and when he heard this, he was about to look back at Zhang Tongru.
"He means that Niu Xian is the mastermind."
In the twelfth lunar month, the small hall of the government office, which had been repaired by successive prefects, had regained its original elegance. Wine jars and stolen goods stolen by the rebels were everywhere.
Shu Han stood on his horse and looked around. The water in that section of the Yellow River was slow and not yet frozen outside the twelfth lunar month of winter. The waves were still turbulent, while Pinglu County was hidden on the other side in the wind and snow.
Niu Xianting was still handling military affairs in Cui Qianyou's army. She was sweating all over from rushing out in the winter. After getting off, she hurriedly said: "Qi Lang, hurry up, things haven't turned around.
Niu Xianting looked at it with a bad smile, thinking that those big girls were a little too stupid. Before, she accidentally thought of her poly-male period and thought it was such a distant thing.
Here!"
Li Longji was very angry when he saw those people who devoted themselves to serving the country being imprisoned. But just as he said that, the warden came over, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Qilang, you're right.
Yiyangfang is just quiet, and there are no longer many scholars running over to touch the inscription of Shu Han's inscription on the Small Wild Goose Pagoda, hoping to get some luck and achieve great achievements in the future.
Fireworks were set off in the sky below Mrs. Guo Guo's residence in Yiyangfang.
In addition, Shu Han's crime should be determined as soon as possible.
"Yang Yuhuan "pretends to make false claims, constructs the East Palace, and criticizes Chengyu," take it!"
Immediately, no two guys came over and took Yang Yuhuan, who was the one who knew him, and left.
An Qingxu was still confident and said, "I'm just afraid it will be difficult."
The time left for the court was very tight, and the decree had to be issued before the news reached the ears of brother Li Cong.
Ashi shook his head politely and sighed: "Qilang, surrender Shu Han.
After coming back to my senses and looking at the situation behind me, temporary surrender seems to be the only way to help Shu Han help the crown prince to step down. When the new king comes to the throne, he will inevitably have to win over our generals, and maybe find a chance to return to Fan Yang.
"Do it quickly."
We act decisively and without making any decision, Ashi immediately returned the favor to the Niu Marriage Army.
"It is important whether he recruits or recruits." Yuan Zai said, "That is a small crime of treason, and he lacks a confession."
"Introduce Qilang." Zhang Yunrong walked a few steps in the prison, introduced the middle-aged woman sitting in the cell next door, and said: "Yuan Gong, the long history of Changshan, was the first person to advocate small righteousness in Hebei."
A reply was already eight steps away.
That was what the saint had been urging for a long time. After that, Du Youlin was still thinking about the possibility that Shu Han would miss his old relationship and left no way out. Now he understood clearly that once Shu Han was allowed to take advantage of the situation, the military remonstrance would be very difficult. To avoid it, it’s okay to be ruthless.
Seeing An Lushan leave in a hurry, Du Wulang's eyes flashed, he called Yang Guozhong and said loudly: "That time I had to inquire vaguely.
"Is it visiting time?"
Niu Xian was so beautiful that she thought that it had been a long time since the imperial concubine had been so happy.
Yuan Zai took out some confessions and said: "That is Yang Guang's testimony, stating that Shu Han recruited young generals in the army to force Zhang Tongru to rebel; that is the testimony of the people in Hebei, saying that they saw our independent Guangwu Army; that was recruited by Yan Jiming Private military register; there is not one, but it is Yan Quanmingshou's puppet official robe...evidence
Chisel, can you quibble?"
It has been a while since the team set out, but there is no sound of horse hooves chasing them.
"Can it still be saved?"
"Just stand here and watch. Can it be fake or real?" The guards around me didn't let me get too close and stopped drinking when I was still two steps away.
"You go see me."
Before that, fewer people came to see me, and the conversations were mostly negative, but there were often some aggressive words.
At present, An Qingxu Zhengzheng, commanding Tian Chengsi, Cui Qianyou and other young generals, attacks Tongguan with a main force of 100,000. If those people fall to the East Palace group, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the light snow, Hu Laishui raised his hand and pointed, saying: "The other side is your hometown, Pinglu.
During the match, Yang Guozhong slowly and hurriedly ran back
"Your concubine, I found it during that time.
Shu Han thought that the spiritual talisman that changed Yuan's "Tianbao" was also dug up in Shaanxi County. Lingbao and Pinglu were far apart.
"Coming,"
"Where's brother Niu Xian?" An Qingxu asked.
"The faint king must be trusting his brother Li Zong." Yuan Qian said: "General Cui took advantage of this matter and sent internal agents to the pass. Nanyang Hu is a subordinate, and it turned out that he never discovered it. Originally, he planned to wait for the right time to open the city gate, but this time he discovered We have discovered a secret military situation, and we may be able to use this to defeat Nanyang."
"Hachiro?"
"Can!"
"I heard that Xue Lang has recaptured Luoyang and captured Zhang Tongru alive!
"Have you heard? Have you heard?!"
"Wait for me."
Since Shu Han forced Zhang Tongru to rebel, I was dismissed from office because of the incident. After the rebellion, I was able to see the ups and downs of my personal career.
Li Longji felt that everything he said was useless, so he simply kept silent.
Yuan Zai observed the changes in Li Longji's eyes carelessly, smiled, and said: "He knew? But he suddenly understood, right?
Niu Xian didn't have a mirror and was watching from a low place, not afraid of being ambushed.
Suddenly, several winter thunders sounded on the horizon closer, seemingly in the direction of Lingbao.
Li Longji had heard the nickname of Du Liushu Prison, and knew that he had a chance to survive this time, so he said: "It is important to kill you, but Zhang Yunrong and Yan Quanming are innocent, we...
However, for such a complicated matter, Du Youlin was not embarrassed at all, and said in a squeaky tone: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late."
A family who had not fled from Luoyang hugged each other and cried, merchants who were not stuck on the road clapped their hands and laughed, residents who had no relatives stranded in Henan cried with joy, there are all kinds of things in the world.
"What do you look like?!" Niu Xianting scolded with a straight face.
"Unless I break through Zeguan overnight, is there any way out?
Niu Xianting said: "The news may not be true, but it is... Niu Xian has recaptured Luoyang and captured Zhang Tongru alive.
Lang
In hindsight, it seems that you have been pursued by Helan when he retired from the Ming Dynasty. When I was in Pingyuan County, I competed with Shu Han for merit, and I had a grudge. Before that, I took small revenge on Shu's subordinates. Some people thought that Helan's withdrawal from the Ming Dynasty was to provoke us, so they used this as an excuse to claim that you had no objections. At that time, you were assisting Li Guang in Taiyuan.
Bi's recruitment of soldiers was accused of recruiting private soldiers..."
An Qingxu didn't look back and said, "Can you send someone to identify your grandpa?"
"yes."
Xiaoli Temple Prison was very slow in doing things. Li Longji was tied under the torture rack half an hour ago.
After waiting for a long time, until the sun was slowly setting, An Qingxu still arrived.
"Fish give way to seed and become human again. Lang Tu has no mercy
Everything depends on manpower. Although there are 700,000 people in Nanyang, the mob is united under orders, and it is also full of intrigues. Your elite soldiers may not be able to fight.
Niu Xianting grabbed An Qingxu's reins and said, "As long as Qi Lang waits for half a day, there will be no results.
The family hurriedly got off the carriage, and just a few seconds before a stick of incense was passed, the guards rushed in through the door, shouting.
I have been imprisoned many times, but the number of times I was tortured was so small that I could not help but feel relaxed. I stared at the flickering light in a daze, and no one left the execution room.
People who had suffered all kinds of suffering due to the war rushed out to discuss the sudden news.
"call out--"
After a while, Niu Xianting asked: "Does he believe it?"
An Qingxu believed that nothing had changed yet, but he still stayed on horseback to listen to Yuan Qian's details.
"Shu Han had already made arrangements with the Longzuo Army."
Yuan took two steps back, leaned towards Li Longji's ear, and said loudly: "The saint only wants to know one thing - is Shu Han the son of the deposed prince?
Just as he was drinking wine to relieve the irritability in his heart, Ping Lie slowly stepped back and said: "Qilang, Ashi is here from the ceremony.
"Why?"
Before the poem was finished, a eunuch hurriedly came to the corridor. It was obvious that important news had arrived. Since the rebellion, it has often been difficult for people to even have a good conversation.
Faced with words like that, Yang Yuhuan often turned around and looked at the numbers "Be careful in your words and deeds, like thin ice" hanging under my wall.
After a long time, I heard that Shu Han retreated from Luoyang and got good news today. I then wondered whether Shu Han had won a great victory. Which rebel army had he defeated in Luoyang City?
Qinzheng Building
"Um?"
"When Lu Ling learned about the battle report, he wanted to know the root cause and distinguish the authenticity, so he publicized it in a small way. When the post horse entered Chang'an, he had already spread the word in a low voice along Zhuque Street...
At this point, the rebellion is almost coming to an end.
"..." An Qingxu said: "That's what he came to tell you? You don't have a hundred thousand elite soldiers yet!"
Then, I wrinkled my nose, pressed hard, and suddenly shouted: "What smell? What smell is that?"
"you?"
"I have met Mr. Yuan." Li Longji hurriedly saluted, "I have heard about Mr. Yuan's deeds for a long time, and I thought that we would meet here."
"Your Majesty, this is not news from Tongguan, but from Luoyang."
Du Jin was very weak, with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "Let's go!"
Gradually, we arrived at the place we agreed with An Qingxu.
An Qingxu looked back and saw Yuan Luqian coming.
"Really?"
"What happened? Shichiro is at home!
How can the postmen enter the city? "Shout?"
Li Longji really figured out a lot of things in one go. Why didn't Niu Xian have such a calm and ordinary temperament? Why did Shu Han and the two sisters always have so many secrets? At that moment, even I thought Yuan Zai What is said is the truth
“…
First, when he learned about Shu Han's recapture of Luoyang, Yang Yuhuan's face became fierce and he said calmly: "You treat me like a nephew, but you never thought that I could make such a small contribution to the country.
As the saying goes, "When things go wrong, there will be no monsters." It is common sense that Zhang Tongru was captured by Shu Han. There must be a conspiracy. The first thing Niu Xianting felt was the threat coming towards her.
Niu Xian put up the lookout tube and waited for a while, then saw a large group of unarmored cavalry coming that way, and stopped at a distance.
An Qingxu's eyes were very white, and he looked worried as he sat here.
I have never forgotten what happened to Tianbao for seven years.
Zhang Yunrong, who was sitting in prison, raised his head and saw Li Longji. He smiled, got up quickly and asked, "Why is he here?
"It's about face, it doesn't belong to him anymore?
"Let's go.
"Try if you can save him."
"The saint is old, but fortunately the prince is not good at employing people, so that the country can avoid minor disasters.
"The way out? If we jump back, will the Yellow River be successful?"
Very slowly, word of mouth spread even in Xingqing Palace.
"So fast?"
Niu Xianting then sat down by the fence and loudly talked about the experience of being imprisoned.
An Qingxu threw away the wine jar in his hand with an attitude of throwing away the can, and walked towards him in small steps. When he saw A Shi's courtesy from a distance, he felt that the other person was not in high spirits.
Du Youlin went to do it immediately and raced against time, lest Niu Xian and his colleagues put down the rebellion.
Xiaoli Temple Prison.
An Qingxu straightened his appearance slightly in front of Liang's knife face, and changed his
Wearing a white robe and disheveled hair, he walked out of the small camp energetically. He looked at the sky and saw the desolate winter sky.
Although I said it, first of all I believed it, saying: "Because the main force of the rebels was in Shaanxi County and blocked the road between Luoyang and Tongguan, the news was first sent to Xue Bai, and then sent to Chang'an by Lu Ling, the prefect of Xue Bai .
"You don't have a classmate, but he is Du Youlin's son. When you heard that he was caught, I asked someone to ask you to come back and see him."
"Block the message first."
"It seems that everything in Shaanxi County is auspicious."
"Presumably he has an official status, so the threat is small." Zhang Yunrong said with a smile, "But he must be more careful."
The whole city was filled with ecstasy, like a blazing fire, and the lamps were all extinguished.
The atmosphere in the palace was depressing. Du Youlin said: "I believe that the only current plan is to send the imperial guards to urge Li Cong to fight the rebels decisively after the remaining rebels surrender. We must be narrow and flexible in dealing with the rebels. Severe punishment!
An Qingxu sighed affectionately and said, "Well, the conditions still require you to talk to me in person. Not yet, you have to see your grandpa."
I haven't fallen into despair yet. From the west, 700,000 people from Nanyang are rushing to kill me. To the east, Luoyang has been lost, and even my grandfather has been killed. Although there are no more than 100,000 soldiers from the border, how much food and grass can I sustain? day
Now that the emperor's prestige has fallen to the bottom, An Lushan will definitely allow this
The minister's merits are reflected in the shadow, and he is decisive
Yang Yuhuan is currently idle at home
An Qingxu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what it meant. But the first thing I considered was the situation in front of me, rather than envy of Erlang.
"Varied?"
On that day, Yang Yuhuan was reading at home. Later, there was an endless stream of officials visiting me, at least some of my colleagues in Shanchunfang.
The place is located between Chang'an and Luoyang, and its location is ordinary. Therefore, many famous ministers have served as prefects of Shaanxi Province, such as Wei Jian and Li Qiwu.
"Ah! How could there not be a husband like that, who is both civil and military, and a hero?"
Shengpingfang, Duzhai.
"Therefore, it is Prince Hun who is surrendered, and the one you surrender is Prince Erlang."
But when the first guest left, Niu Xianting stepped on her feet and looked at the other person's back before leaving. She could no longer suppress the ecstasy in her heart and started dancing.
The comparison immediately attracted crowds of people to rush over, and in a chaotic and peaceful way, the celebration was pushed down to a lower level.
"It's up to me, let's go first."
In the Qinzheng Building, Du Youlin had already arrived. As soon as An Lushan left the hall, he stepped in and asked, "How is it?"
Here, Lu Fengniang, Xue Yunniang and other family members were also brought here.
Shaanxi County.
"Your Majesty, good news!"
Jiang Hai then said to Shu Han: "Mr. Lang, I'm afraid nothing has changed. Could it be that An Qingxu has gone back on his word?"
"Go to Xiaoli Temple."
After Jiang Hai dismounted his horse, he shouted: "An Qingxu, why don't you come to see his grandpa?!
"Here."
Du Youlin breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. There were still a lot of things to do. Niu Xian had to pick up the post horse. Xue Bai, the prefect Lu Ling, was not suspected of being in the East Palace and needed to be replaced.
"Your brother also wanted to scare Shu Han, but it didn't work. What lies ahead is that your small army is trapped between the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River. There is land to retreat and a way to advance. If in a few days, the food and grass are exhausted. I want a small stain."
"You were ordered by the Left Prime Minister to handle that small case." Yuan Zai said, "Because we know each other."
How to 2
"The incident has happened, Grandpa, please leave immediately.
"After that, General Cui noticed that there seemed to be two groups of sentinels in Nanyang, so I personally led the troops to intercept and kill them. Sure enough, one group was sent by brother Li, while Chang'an also sent a group of sentinels to investigate at any time. The Battle of Tongguan.
Niu Xianting was surprised when she heard this and asked: "So, you and Shu Han are even closer, but they haven't taken advantage of you yet."
"In the first year of Tianbao, Li Qiwu opened eight canals on the Yellow River, and your mother-in-law died outside the Yellow River. But Li Qiwu dug out an ancient blade from the river without the word 'Pinglu' underneath, and instead offered it auspiciousness." Hu Laishui said again
Having said that, I thought that the prince who was assisted by Shu Han was the young marshal in charge of the expedition. My eyes lit up, I turned the horse's head by the reins and headed towards Du's house in Shengpingfang.
I haven't had a single thought in my heart lately that I always expressed - if Zhang Tongru had died instead of being killed, the situation would have been worse.
Yan Quanming nodded and smiled slightly. I'm not in bad spirits, I don't look like Jiang Mi.
"I'll come see Taizhen later.
The sentinel horses dispersed and he replied: "Report! An Qingxu hasn't arrived yet.
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses neighing from the backyard. Sisters Du and Du Shi, who were dressed in women's clothing, hurried back. In other words, one rushed to the front yard and the other to the study.
The two sides sent envoys to each other and quickly agreed to let An Qingxu and Zhang Tongru meet in the Yellow River Gorge to discuss the surrender.
"Bang--"
"But what if we surrender? You have rebelled against the law. Will the foolish emperor let you go?"
After all, under the threat of rebellion, how can one afford two things, no matter how little clothing and food are available?
