Chen Xuanli and Long Wujun were in front, and Yuan Zai and Li Cong were behind. They had been waiting for a long time.
Yuan Zai glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed soldiers coming from the east and handed Yang Guozhong a message. After that, Yang Guozhong hurriedly entered the palace. After a while, Chen Xuanli also left.
From this detail, it can be seen that the officers and soldiers may have achieved a complete victory on the Tongguan battlefield. As a result, the prestige gradually shifted to the side of the prince.
In recent years, saints have become increasingly difficult to convince.
Yuan Zai seemed to be still loyal to Yang Guozhong, but what he did today was at the instigation of others.
"Yuanlang!"
Hearing the call, he looked back and saw Wang Yunxiu wearing a warrior robe and rushing over with a team of guards. He then asked: "How come you, a woman, are here late at night?"
"I would like to ask Mr. Lang, how can you persecute Zhongliang?"
Yuan Zai said seriously: "As an official of the imperial court, I only act according to the imperial edict!
Xingqing Palace.
"Ge Shuhan was defeated and Tongguan fell."
Very slowly, Yu Qianlei prostrated in front of Li Fuguo and cried without saying a word to show his concern for the saint. I dared to hide it before and reported the case in a roundabout way.
Li Fuguo had no doubts about that rhetoric, because if Du Jin wanted to make a coup, there was no reason for Li to persuade Xue Bai.
"Is Xue Bai here?"
These gangsters in the Chang'an market under Yu Xin's hands are secretly running for me. Here at Tongguan, Brother Shuhan, Yu Xin will come back with Xiaojun very soon. Thinking about those things, this father in the past made me more afraid. , suddenly, became scary at all.
"The rebels pretended to be defeated. Ge Shuhan's troops were led to the pass, and a barrage of cannons fired.
, the rebels set up suspicion in Nanshan and intercepted them with fine cavalry. The official army was defeated, and the soldiers fled, drowned in the Yellow River, or fell into heavy trenches. There were countless casualties. Tongguan Tongguan was lost.
Already."
"Yuan Changshi advocated Hebei Xiaoyi and reversed the current situation. Who wants to kill me? But he deceived the saint?"
For the first time, I felt that the old man sitting behind me was worthy of being the king. Before I gave up that thought, I took a step back and thought that when I arrived in Shu County, this was my own territory, and I might not be able to take over the emperor to order the princes.
But tonight, Xue Bai is no longer a threat to me, but to Du Jin.
Liu Qi fell under the snow and got up, only to see that many people had gathered around to look at me, some were confused, some were frightened, some were curious, and they were talking about me.
There are fewer and fewer officials in front of Du Jin. In order to support my Qingjun side, everyone dared to violate the Chang'an curfew, which shows their determination.
"Have you?" Liu Qi was confused, "Have you received any order to quiet the streets?
"So sudden?"
I picked up the broken felt hat that had fallen on the ground and thought of the saint Zhizhi I had just heard about who had escaped. It was absurd and confused at the same time.
Suddenly, Yuan Zai was stunned. He was the first to wake up and guessed that there would be no palace change tonight. But I was not completely prepared yet, what should I choose?
"Saint, I call myself An Lushan, and I want to see you for a matter that has nothing to do with the saint's safety.
So, Du Jin took a step back and said: "You want to see Your Majesty!
As long as Li Tan is persuaded to help Low Lishi, Xue Bai believes that with his youth,
, there is still no way to stabilize today for the saint.
of
However, the expected scolding did not appear. Li Fuguo seemed to have fallen asleep sitting under the cold and empty royal road.
The whip struck without warning, and a stinging scar suddenly appeared on Liu Qi's face.
Li Fuguo snorted warmly, but did not immediately give the order to return to the palace.
After a long time, Li Longji came back and whispered: "Sage, I'm just afraid that Xiaoming Palace is in danger.
Everyone was startled, but Du Jin reacted slowly and shouted: "Chen Xuanli has seen the situation and wants to harm Your Majesty, so I will ask you to leave the palace immediately!"
"I guess I will come back later."
"Should we stop him?!"
"Sage, Chen Xuanli has arrived."
If I still want to fight for the throne, I don't have much time left. Therefore, today I am willing to take the risk and leave the ten kings' house in a weak way. I take my eldest son Li to the eighth son Li's place and force Li Talk about supporting yourself.
Chen Xuanli was secretly surprised, and gradually lost some confidence in his heart. He continued: "Your Majesty is bound to Sheji, so he can stand on a dangerous wall. It is too strange for the rebels to attack Tongguan. What is your Majesty doing? …Move to Shu County…Shock Tubo, Nanzhao…
However, what he didn't expect was that as he was talking, there was a sudden flash of a knife in front of his eyes. It was Wang Yunxiu who took out a dagger and quickly cut off the ropes of Yang Guozhong's men.
Li Fuguo was silent. Does anyone know how I feel at this moment? In this life, when I have to face that kind of decision-making situation, I am the only one who knows the feeling of it. At the end, I sighed heavily
An Lushan was stunned for a moment, took it, and hurried away.
Send someone to tell the prince that everyone should take the next step. Tonight is to ask the saint to ascend the throne, but to kill Chen Xuanli, and then to ask the prince Mao Zhu to recommend himself to take charge of the defense of Chang'an.
Xingqing Palace, beside the palace wall, a Jinwu guard stood there all night. When dawn came, snowflakes fell all over his body.
Imperial City, Shangshu Province.
"The dead knot of being paid by light!"
The reason why Li Xiang chose to hide here was to deliver news. The deployment of manpower was an eye-catching and
"Call."
"Sage, the tens of thousands of imperial guards and new troops in Chang'an are a bit stronger in battle... If we were in Shu County, where I always live, I would not have the confidence to summon the daughter of Sichuan to quell the thieves."
"Yes." An Lushan said, "Chen Xuanli has gone to prepare. The saint sent people to pick up several concubines."
In the rear, Yanzhengmen Gate Tower was in sight. The guards quickly stepped down and ordered the doors to be opened.
"Really?" Yu Xin was surprised, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
I live in the west of Chang'an City, in the Taixianfang next to the city wall. The location is very remote. To get home from Xingqing Palace, I have to walk for half an hour outside in light snow. I am not an impersonal horse like others think. Okay. It is true that there are not some children from aristocratic families in the North Street Forbidden Army, but a small number of them are actually far from what they appear to be.
In such a beautiful and prosperous Chang'an, prices were extremely low, and it was actually very difficult for a special soldier to live there.
Xue Bai gritted his teeth and responded in a deep voice.
"The prince learned about the defeat of Tongguan, and Prince Zhong arrived, and the momentum increased, and the fire in Xingqing Palace was also extinguished.
"How did Du Jin get the weapons?!
But I didn't completely believe An Lushan and asked, "Why did Li Tan tell Yu Qian what he said.
"He is saying? But how can the king of a country do this?"
A sigh fell in Qian Shi Lei's ears, flowing down my ears like snow water and flowing out of my heart, giving rise to some strange feelings.
Liu Qi recognized the person who came. He was a captain in the Longwu Army. He was wearing a spring shirt and wrapped in brocade before going out. He didn't bring a crotch, as if he had just woken up. After getting off, he asked instructingly: "He Has Saint Zhi left the city?!"
The captain had a very gentle temper. He cursed bitterly again, waved his horsewhip and galloped towards the city gate, but forgot to raise his foot and kicked Liu Qi to the side of the road.
At the palace gate, Xue Bai got the imperial edict and ordered the imperial army to guard the palace gate strictly. Seeing that the other party was about to break in, he raised his hand and slapped the soldiers in the distance.
"Your Majesty," I said cautiously, "The seventh battle report has arrived."
As a senior soldier, I couldn't do anything I could not to fulfill my duties. So I allowed these little people to come and go in front of me, but I stopped making things difficult. I stood upright and guarded the palace gate alone. I stood all night and suffered at most. After being slapped eight times, my feet were so numb that they looked like my own. At worst, it was difficult to hear the sound of the black drum, so I took to the streets.
The situation before us is that if we want to defend the city of Chang'an, it is certainly possible to defend it, but we have to be afraid of what might happen. If Luoyang is lost, there will be no harm. If Chang'an is lost again, I will be captured alive. This is just thinking about it. Thinking of the miserable situation
I usually put very little energy into fighting for power, and I am very good at political tactics. When it comes to resisting rebels and putting down small chaos, I will inevitably be able to do something serious.
"able!"
For my emperor, there are even fewer possible situations that need to be considered. For example, when the rebels came to the city, Du Jin or one of his sons made a coup; Very unlikely to happen.
Li Heng thought he was brave and cunning, but with the national crisis facing him, there was still no such pattern.
But very slowly, this kind of awareness came in. I was surprised to find that I adapted very slowly and properly showed the dignity I should have.
As for the speculation about the saint's thoughts, I also think it is too ridiculous. I dare to mention it, but in fact, it is because of something else.
Even if I can spit out Fang Jin's words with my clever mouth, I will also make them up at this time.
"snort."
"He will go and pick up Zhang Liangdi, and then notify us.
"It's gone!"
Qian Qianlei summoned Qian Qianlei and gave a few instructions. Li Longji immediately sent someone to Xiaoming Palace, and at the same time ordered someone to bring Xue Bai.
"Jinwu Guard Liu Qi, I have met the general."
How to do this? Even Li Fuguo himself knew that the shadow of the rebels could always be seen, and the emperor abandoned Chang'an... It was too cowardly.
"Varied?"
Du Wei understood what you were thinking, clapped your hand again and said, "Come on, rebellion is complicated.
~~
"But what if they are unjustly accused?!" Wang Yunxiu pointed at Yuan Qian, Yan Quanming and others who were tied up.
Something unexpected happened tonight, Xingqing Palace caught fire again, we are escorting the saint to Xiaoming Palace.
For a moment, Chen Xuanli was frightened by his own thoughts. He scolded himself for being cowardly and unreasonable. But slowly, I thought of Xue Bai, Ge Luofeng, Abusi, Guan Chongsi, Du Jin, Ge Shu Han, Li Qiong...are those people just knowingly rebellious?
After a while, I suddenly realized, "I understand! King Jianning didn't want to support the crown prince, so he deliberately told Prince Zhong all about it. No wonder this slave was able to get out of the Tenth Prince's House smoothly. It turned out to be King Jianning." Let the slave come over secretly.
Yuan Zai had already expected this. He didn't want to openly side with the East Palace family, but his wife's identity was really suitable. In this way, when the couple acted against each other, no matter what the final situation was, he would Stay in an invincible position.
Li Fuguo also knew that he dared to delay the matter, so he quickly agreed, before asking, "Where is Qian Qian? Has he suppressed her?"
What a shit! How many hours of white labor have you done and how much salary have you received? He already knows?!
"Hold on, send all your men out and use force to support the prince's withdrawal from the palace.
The kerosene dripped under the carpet and almost started to burn. Du Wei picked it up in time and said softly: "Don't panic, it's impossible for the Tongguan Xiaojun not to know the news about Li Cong yet.
"If he is good, he is hopelessly stupid, and he is worthy of being a king.
"Who dares to hurt the prince?!"
Before Xue Bai left, Li Fuguo was still relieved. For the first time, he realized that there was no one else who could threaten his position except his own son.
After waiting for a long time, no eunuch was hung up from the city wall, placed on the ground, and asked to see him.
"This servant is a person close to King Zhong. Today, King Jianning came to see King Zhong and said that he would support the crown prince to the throne. He hoped that King Zhong would express his support at that time. King Zhong was shocked and scolded us for being loyal or filial. King Jianning ordered people Looking at Zhong... King Zhong was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he tried every means to let his slaves come and report the news.
ah!"
"If the saint summons you again, you will break into the palace soon!"
As long as we retreat from the palace and people's hearts are shattered, if we take advantage of the chaos and kill Chen Xuanli, the situation will become even more unfavorable.
"Sign up your horses and summon the towns to put down the rebellion.
As a result, Yu Qianlei's mentality is no longer the same as before.
Li Fuguo was willing to speak, so he opened his lips just a little and uttered two words: "Where's the food?"
"Qiniang, you arranged for the informant at Chunming Gate to deliver some strange news.
"No." An Lushan said: "King Jianning said that the prince hid a batch of weapons far away in Guangyun Lake.
Sure enough, it was Jiugong who heard a small, pretentious cry.
"What are you doing?!" The guard was immediately startled.
This question was also posed in front of many officials present. Obviously, there were few people who dared to speculate, and soon no one started to drink.
"Chang'an Zhongzhi has raised too many trash like him! The situation is so manageable!
The crowd gathered around Du Jin as she got out.
As soon as these words came out, many people were filled with anger, and a slogan came out, which soon resounded in the back of Xingqing Palace.
In the past, I was always in Xiaoming Palace, always in Xingqing Palace, always in Taiji Palace, always in Huaqing Palace, and I was so free and unrestrained. But tonight, I felt that there was no place in Chang'an that was unrestrained.
"Back to Saint, we're here."
I tried to test it out and said hastily, "Chang'an City is low and the walls are strong, so we can definitely defend it."
Before making many arrangements one after another, an important news finally came.
"It must be that treacherous man Chen Xuanli who blocked the audience."
The 1-foot-7-inch young man immediately stood up and lowered his head to the level of those around him.
"Tongguan was defeated, and the saint fled westward. He stayed at Xingqing Palace all night. He said he knew?
Although you are as incompetent as Li Heng, you are still calm and calm when encountering problems, and you are still as gentle as water, which is quite inspiring.
Li Fuguo didn't mean it at all, and hummed slightly: "That is my son, has Chen Xuanli suppressed Yu Qian?
All night long, people carrying lanterns came and went in the government office. Not even a large number of Jinwu guards were mobilized. Others thought it was a certain Langguan who was on errands in the imperial city.
When Li Fuguo saw me, he became furious and shouted: "It was his idea!"
I was imprisoned in the house of the Ten Kings. It was very easy to find out the information. It was only because Guan Chongsi paid attention to me before the rebellion that I could understand a little bit about current affairs. When I learned that Li Cong had captured Guan Chongsi alive in Luoyang, my judgment was different from that of Li Fuguo. Same, I think Yu Xin's military remonstrance is avoidable
Tonight, Li Tan was supposed to come to support me, but I haven't seen him yet.
To be honest, it is very similar to Guan Chongsi's "Qing Jun Side". The same thing is that that time it was really what the people wanted. It is even said that the people's anger has not been suppressed in their hearts for too long and is too deep.
~~
"you……"
Li Fuguo hadn't seen Xue Bai's son for a long time. Did he ever think that he would meet again in such a situation?
Xue Bai could tell at a glance what Du Jin's intention was, turned around and left, muttering to himself: "As brother wishes, you can stay in Guanzhong and continue to defend against the enemy.
"Please, the prince, remonstrate with the saint and remove Chen Xuanli!"
In the royal road inside the wall, the firelight dispersed the darkness, the clanging sound of armor was heard, and a group of Longwu troops were galloping down the rear.
"I dare to challenge Your Majesty! There is no military situation that can slow down your Majesty. I sincerely ask Your Majesty to meet you...
When I passed by a stall selling biscuits, I stood firm for a moment, thinking about how small my family was and how I had to bear the hunger to buy some. Suddenly, no one came over on horseback and called me.
A father and son in a rich family are fighting over property, and maybe a grandson. In short, they are fighting among themselves. Suddenly, a thief breaks in. It means that they should wait until the thief is driven away before continuing the fight. .
At this moment, no light flashed across the west side of Xingqing Palace, and a small sound exploded in the palace city.
"well."
"Him! Stop.
A gust of wind blew away the clouds and snow in the sky. But after a while, the rolling clouds came back up again, and the snowflakes became smaller. The originally sharp north wind was separated by the wall when it blew through the imperial road, and issued a A shrill whimper, like Gan’s cry
"idiot!"
"If the small army defends Guancheng, it will definitely be defeated." Li Heng thought, snorted and said: "Now it seems that this matter is probably the result of the Hunjun's unintentional action.
"slow!"
There was contempt in Yu's tone, and he felt extremely hateful towards Li Fuguo in his heart. He was so angry that he overthrew the emperor immediately. However, just when the situation reached that point, you realized that now was a bad time to force Li Fuguo to take the throne. , otherwise the court will be in chaos and Chang'an will really be captured by the rebels.
I have been wise all my life, and I am by no means such a irresponsible person.
However, I still believed part of it and asked, "Did Li Tan say anything about our plan?"
Where to go?
Even Du Jin knew that he had lost his popularity for a moment.
"Du Jin has ulterior motives and his plans are false. I hope he can expose me. Can he do it?" Li Fuguo asked, but he was not talking about the defeat of the small army in Tongguan.
Generally speaking, Li Fuguo also felt that there was nothing to be happy about. Back then, no one blamed Li Zong for the character destruction case, but he was fooled by this person. Now that he thinks about it, it is indeed suspicious.
In the midst of a national crisis, I was in charge of the Imperial Guard but I didn't even know what was going on, let alone defend my country. I felt like a waste, but I didn't know what I had done wrong.
While talking intermittently, Chen Xuanli raised his eyes to supervise Li Fuguo with a guilty conscience. He was very afraid of being scolded for his thoughts, which created Kaiyuan.
How could it be possible for a generation of British masters whose achievements surpassed those of Yao and Shun to flee to Sichuan and Shu without seeing the rebels?
Looking back on Tianbao's seven years, Li Cong was still sitting outside a brothel in Nanqu, eating soft rice, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to support the crown prince. That's how he came about.
Li Fuguo listened, did you have any reaction?
When Chen Xuanli arrived, his clothes were not straight, and the crotch under his head was crooked.
Yu Qianlei recovered from the worry of being executed and finally captured the thoughts of some saints.
There was a dispute, and the dispute reached the point where all the officials in the court knew about his loyalty and his wife's righteousness.
I have so clearly stated my determination for a coup, so there must be a lack of leaders. Xiao Tang already had frequent coups, not to mention that Li Fuguo was at the time when he was most disappointed. Therefore, although the fire started, everyone's mood became even lower.
The ambush hidden in Xiaoming Palace failed, Yu Qian rushed to Xingqing Palace to stop it, accidents happened one after another, and you concluded that Yu Qian and Li Fuguo joined forces
Li Heng frowned, then with a wave of his hand, he knocked the candlestick under the case to the ground.
Yu Qianlei knew how to answer, and frowned, thinking about countermeasures.
A little moonlight shone through the clouds, and the seven monarchs and ministers sat and knelt facing each other for a long time, casting shadows with words in the empty passage.
"Damn it." Yu Qian gritted her teeth and cursed.
"well."
Liu Qicai got up and wiped the horse excrement under his body. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his face. No one spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into my face. I became angry and yelled.
I even feel that the throne is right behind my eyes
That... my sister-in-law also knew it, and it was all relayed by King Zhong.
Those Imperial Guards, who are arrogant and domineering on weekdays and eat the rent you pay, will only wet their pants when fighting...
"Who dares to take action?!" Yang Guozhong shouted angrily and was already protecting Du Shi.
Xue Bai looked towards Gong again and found that Yu Qian's movements had also stopped, knowing that the other party had also received the news.
For a moment, Li Fuguo's expression turned serious.
My prince usually didn't have much strength in the past, but tonight for some reason, no one came to support me dressed as a forbidden army. In addition, there was no frontier general like Yang Guozhong to take the lead, so he was so aggressive.
"The purpose is not to embarrass me, otherwise how can the prince establish his authority? How can he successfully defend the city?" Li Heng said in a calm tone, "When the crisis is over, let's take a step forward."
"Yu Qianyun came there. It is said that there are no veterans from Longzuo around me. It must be a legacy left by the person who adopted me.
The bad guys around him immediately fled. Liu Qi was full of grievances and knew who to vent to.
"."
"I deserve to die for my crime!" Yu Lei knelt down calmly, kowtowed and apologized: "I think the task is slow, so I will send a message to the troops from seven directions to return to Guanzhong Qin Wang! First protect your majesty's safety, and I will regret my death!
"I did see very few people leaving the city this morning, and the carriages and horses were all ready.
Li Xiang murmured, thinking about what would happen if he stayed in Chang'an. He shook his head before and said to himself: "Yes.
"Is it true that the rebels attacked and the saint escaped?
But whether the coup is a major event, it is still out of your control after all.
An Lushan scratched his head, as if he was too knowledgeable. It was difficult for me to be recognized as a countryman, but because of this, I was somewhat believable.
Even if the emperor comes in person, it is not easy to open the palace during the curfew. There are dangers within the walls, so Li Fuguo can only wait patiently.
"Is it too difficult for the saint to kill Chen Xuanli?"
The situation between the two sides was like fire and water, and when it became more and more fierce, An Lushan came and Fu Er said something to Xue Bai
On the other hand, Xingqing Palace, due to the sudden incident tonight, another fire broke out, and with Yu Qianlei's presence, the armaments at the palace gate were relatively small.
"Your Majesty?"
We all know that Xiaojie of Luoyang was just behind the scenes to quell the rebellion, and had no scruples about supporting the prince, so he vented his anger to his heart's content. Not only to Chen Xuanli, but also to the saint.
"Not yet."
I think that thing is so real, but Yu Qianlei said it with certainty. It's like watching a beautiful porcelain fall, thinking that it will break, but it still breaks.
"Well, let's stabilize the situation and wait for Li Cong to come back."
The night wind carried the movement in Chang'an City, faintly ringing in his ears, and the situation in Chang'an City was even more disturbing. In that case, Li Fuguo's waiting seemed quite torturous.
