Although Li Longji gave Li a job to stay in Xijing when he fled, he was very cautious and did not order the prince to supervise the country. There was a subtle difference between the two. Therefore, Li Cong could not live in Xingqing after he appeased all the officials. Palace, and the war is approaching, Xingqing Palace is close to the East City, and it is also very dangerous
However, Bian Lingcheng, who held the key to the palace, acted favoritistically and invited Li Cong to the Daming Palace at night to meet Yan Zhenqing in the Xuanzheng Hall.
"Mr. Yan!"
Li Cong did not dare to sit on the imperial couch, so he had two stools placed on the side of the palace. When Yan Zhenqing entered the palace, he warmly welcomed Yan Zhenqing and pulled him to sit down and talk, thus avoiding any embarrassment in etiquette.
However, Yan Zhenqing refused to sit down and said with a salute: "I have been trusted by your majesty to entrust state affairs. Today, two hundred thousand troops were wiped out in one day. I deserve death. Please kill me to appease the anger of the public."
Li Cong originally thought he was just talking, but after some consolation, he discovered that Yan Zhen was really willing to die so that he could take the blame for Ge Shuhan and other generals. But he didn't even want to kill Ge Shuhan, and he couldn't win over these people. So on the grounds of national affairs, he sternly asked Yan Zhen to accept the crime and perform meritorious service.
Then, his tone quickly returned to politeness and he asked what he was most concerned about.
"May I ask Mr. Yan, how long will it take for the rebels to attack? Chang'an currently has no troops, and the Imperial Army has been taken away by Your Majesty.
"Wang Sili, Li Chengguang and other generals are now picking up the remaining troops and trying to hold off the rebels for a while. How long can they be held back... Your Highness please be prepared to fight at any time."
Li Cong heard these two names and asked doubtfully: "What about General Geshu?
The next day, Xue Lang summoned Bi Xisheng to discuss matters, and said that we should write letters to various Taoist officials to appease us, so that we would not be caught off guard when we got the news of the saint's escape.
After writing the first word, Bi Xisheng seemed to have lost all his strength, and the pen in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Li Longji misunderstood and was about to speak, but Xue Lang asked me to speak and immediately reassured people.
Due to his ministerial integrity, Bi Xisheng said little and politely declined Xue Lang's offer of an official position, and used the post of Yushi Zhongcheng to help guard Chang'an.
After counting the collapse of the situation in detail, Du Wulang waved his hands excitedly and said: "There are more than 100,000 thieves and small shareholders. You are seeking meritorious service. You only hope that this child can return safely as soon as possible. And Du Jin and I am a relative, but I only care about whether I can contain the rebels? Do you care about my safety at all?
"Du Jin has contacted Luoyang, and Bi Xi is now using Bian Lingcheng as his
The decline can be reversed very quickly, and the crisis can be turned into safety. The pillar of Du Jin's country can be relied on as the Great Wall...
"Um."
From the seventh year of Tianbao to the fourth year of Tianbao, we only talked about everything that happened under the court. It was the strength Ti Shuhan secretly accumulated.
"I mistakenly thought that Your Majesty was about to ascend the throne, so I said that Your Majesty has the right to serve as an official."
After appeasing everyone, I returned to Zhongshu Menshang Province and walked out of the Yamen Office. The letter I wanted to write to Dianyan was still lying under the desk.
The sudden change made me busy for two consecutive nights and I almost didn't even close my eyes. When I was so tired that I couldn't stand it, I took a nap for a while, and there was news from Bi Xi.
Yan Zhenqing turned his head, with sad eyes and a sincere tone, and said urgently: "Actually, you probably know my life experience."
When writing about Shu Han's death, Li Longji paused.
"How can you care?" Bi Xisheng sighed: "Now is the time to show what you can do."
"Did the rebels immediately retreat westward before occupying the pass? It seems they sent troops to Luoyang."
With the rebels separated and the defeat in a hurry, the Zhaguan army naturally had no news from Luoyang, so they had to send a messenger via Xue Bai to contact them. Xue Lang was worried about Bi Xi's arrival, so he asked Li Longji to write a personal letter. Telling about the critical situation in Chang'an and asking Shu Jin to come to his aid, this is the eighth letter to Luoyang asking for help.
Du Youlin added: "What I want to say is calligraphy, but everyone is interested in Shu Han and thinks that I...
This is true.
"He mentioned that you forgot that the Chinese New Year is coming. He had thought that the incident would last until Tianbao's eighteenth year.
"How is that possible? I captured Bian Lingcheng."
"My lord, when we arrived at Zeguan, we saw that Duke Yan's head was hanging at the city gate for public display."
"Alas." Bi Xi sighed, "I am so jealous of the talented people.
Xue Lang came patiently after hearing this, and finally couldn't help it, and asked: "You heard that the eldest lady of the Du family is taking care of all the miscellaneous affairs of the Du family, right?
But Bi Xisheng was very worried and could not hold back and said: "Bi Xi's troops are at least less than 10,000, and the rebels have more than 100,000. After a small victory, they are attacking Luoyang. How can I stop them?
At the turning point of the writing, Li Longji's mood changed slightly. The word "福" can be planted like seven grains of grain entering the warehouse. The word "ni" has lost its anger and appears. When he writes "violation of order", the ink is exhausted, but the sharpness of the pen is gone. It was even more intense, as if the paper could be torn apart to plant seeds.
"Appearance?"
Xue Lang said, although I have never thought about ascending the throne, in fact, subconsciously, I think that I should ascend the throne. Li Longji just realized that and exposed it
"Ascended to the throne?" Xue Lang's reaction at this time was one of surprise.
Xue Lang thought to himself that even the commander of the first army was captured by the traitors, which would have a great impact on the morale of both sides. This also shows the disastrous defeat that day. My mentality turned to pessimism, and the excitement of the supervisory country was reduced. disappeared
Xue Lang then asked: "Du Jin is upright and upright, what does that mean?"
Is that what the sages meant by “changing the year to a new year and making more achievements than Yao and Shun”?
"Yan Xiang is sad, Yan Gong is able to plant... He was killed by the rebels."
"Worry, the whole city is counting on me." I am very good at comforting people, so I borrowed Bi Xi's words and said: "Lean on it like the Great Wall.
"how?"
I pondered for a moment and said: "I guess that maybe Wang's division won the battle in Luoyang and the rebels were threatened and quickly returned to their division.
Du Youlin responded: "Your Majesty should think of asking Du Jin for help, but should use me instead.
"I don't want to say that." Du Wulang said sadly: "I really know what is wrong."
Seeing Wei Yun about to get up, Li Longji raised his hand to stop you and said: "You come back to get some things, and rest at the Chunming Gate Tower at night.
But I know a lot of inside information. After all, I could have tracked down Shu Han.
The next day, Xue Lang sealed off Chang'an and summoned hundreds of officials for a meeting in the Xuanzheng Hall of Xiaoming Palace. With Li Longji's consent, he still ordered to move Li Longji to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. husband
Bi Xisheng was in a lighter mood and had few questions to think about, but he had to cheer up to answer Xue Lang's questions that still had practical basis for the time being.
That was obviously a long-term solution, but in the end, Bi Xi's words really reduced the panic that the saint's escape brought to Chang'an City.
I struggled to get my feet up, and after I got off the ground, I picked up the dry ink and took a look at it, and then re-sharpened the ink.
"My lord, I went to the north bank of the Yellow River to observe the formation and saw with my own eyes that there was no small group of rebels heading east."
Very slowly, an official letter was written, sealed, and a post horse was dispatched to deliver it.
I recruited Li Longji and learned that Bi Xi was ill. So I recruited Du Wulang, but after several times of asking for advice, Du Wulang didn't even have a word of advice.
I originally wanted to continue writing letters home, but I actually knew how to talk to Yan Yan about this matter.
Shu Han is dead, and I need to subdue Xue Dang. How can I push forward the forces that help me become the prince at this time?
Tianbao Tianbao starts from the spiritual treasure and ends with the spiritual treasure. However, why should the common people deserve it?
There were many officials standing at the door, but Bi Xisheng saw it, so he forgot to cheer up behind us.
I shook my head to dispel that thought and patted Yan Zhenqing's shoulder.
Finally, the tip of the pen came down and I wrote seven words:
"teacher."
After leaving Xiaoming Palace, Du Wulang and Bi Xisheng walked together. They also rode horses and walked to the imperial city.
"In the seventeenth year of Wei Tian Bao, on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month of Gui, the teacher
When Du Wulang saw Bi Xi, he told him about the rebels' eastward march to Luoyang. Bi Xisheng was busy until evening when he returned home and pushed the door open.
Wei Yun is writing a letter home
"At most, the rebels will retreat to Chang'an after the New Year." Li Longji put away his light expression and said in a calm tone: "You don't have time yet."
Li Longji just put away his pen and was surprised when he heard this
Yan Zhenqing's face was still stained with tears, and she looked lost.
Because he had been with An Lushan for a long time, Du Youlin also knew a little about the way of employing people, so he responded: "The power lies with the palace. Of course, the palace can use it as he wishes."
However, Du Youlin had already arrived in a hurry and shouted from a distance: "Yan Xiang, please call him into the palace..."
Regardless of whether the news is true or false, all the young master's affairs have been arranged. Li Longji found an excuse to enter and exit Xiaoming Palace, and went to the city tower to arrange new defenses
No one wanted to question, but they pursed their lips but said it was true. Because even until now, the court had never denied that the saint had escaped. If you dare to question, you will inevitably be severely punished for the crime of "shaking the morale of the army."
In the past, words of praise were spoken, but now they were poured out, and they were written about Bi Xi and Yan Yan's marriage. Before that, the conversation changed.
Everyone felt happy when they heard this.
Yan Zhenqing didn't have any discernment, so all he talked about was Shu Han, rambling.
A flash occurred in Xue Lang's mind, and he suddenly understood what Nanyang's request was. But the request was too excessive, so I believed that I had gone astray.
"Appearance?"
I smelled a stink before. I took a quick look and found that it was Li Longji who was covered in blood and bird houses.
I am a minister. If I scold the king, I will vent my frustration. I might as well take the defeat of Tongguan under me to express my feelings.
"What happened?"
Xue Lang was still listening, so he opened his mouth, wanting to admit. Before the words came out, he stopped himself.
Although he had hidden thoughts, this move still focused on the small situation. Li Longji then went to Zhongshumen.
"What does Du Jin think?" Xue Lang asked
Before he wrote a wrong word, Li Longji crossed it out and continued writing.
Yan Zhenqing said: "Brother Shuhan suffered a stroke and his legs and feet were paralyzed. Depending on the situation that day, it may be difficult to evacuate from the battlefield."
The saint is in Chang'an, and Li Longji just returned to the city last night. When the officials heard this, they naturally knew that the edict was false.
In the first two or eight days, the city gradually lost order and retreated to war preparations.
I only finished writing a few words, but I stopped again.
Du Youlin said: "I agree with Your Majesty's enthronement now, and I think the worst thing is to bring back the saint... and administer in the name of the saint."
"The news is false." Li Longji said, "I would trade Bian Lingcheng's life for An Qingxu."
"Your Majesty, I know that Bi Xi has written a memorial manuscript for Juan."
Xue Lang just felt a little free, but he had to escape from An Lushan and understand the meaning of Li Longji's words.
Du Youlin said: "Many people saw it and they all said yes. It is the same as "Lanting Preface" but can be compared to "Lanting Preface"."
"It's snowing like this this year. Didn't you see Shu Han on the porch? My head is better and I can't remember anything. I want to ask you which year, month and day it is."
Feeling Xue Lang's gaze, Li Longji said: "Although I want to die in battle, Wang Sili asked me to return to Chang'an first to contact King Shu Hanqin. May I ask, does your Majesty know the situation in Luoyang?"
"Hurry up."
Li Longji could also say, "The thieves took advantage of the situation to take Chang'an. If they thought that the saint would escape, they would definitely kill him once they got the news."
, Alang and so on." Seeing that Li Longji was leaving, Wei Yun quickly said: "When you finish writing that letter home, is it bad for him to ask Yima to take it to Yangzhou for Banniang?
"Life experience?" Bi Xi was stunned.
Du Wulang also understands this truth. Just now, if you care too much, it will be chaotic. It is not appropriate to vent your emotions.
"Your Majesty, please be at peace. I'll wait for you to confirm this matter."
"It's bad."
Li Longji came all the way and didn't even bother to wipe the bird droppings that fell under his body. He never rested for a moment.
That sentence was not just about Shu Han, but also about the hope of the many people who stayed in Chang'an City to defend the city. Everyone believed it when they heard it.
Sighing, the two of them went about their business.
"Prefect Lu Ling of Bixi said... Luoyang was captured by the rebels again, and An Qingxu was ready to proclaim himself emperor."
"It's panic."
"Sacrifice Juan Shuhan."
Just as he was thinking about it, no one came from the street department in a hurry and said: "The news is back!
So the first few sentences slowly turned straight up like a floating spring, gradually changing from running script to wild cursive writing.
In such a situation, Xue Lang almost wanted to escape from Chang'an. But I had no way in. No matter what, I had to defend until Guo Ziyi, Hedong, and Li Guangbi's reinforcements arrived.
I felt deeply about this, because just when I was digging out the auspicious Lingbao land, I saw with my own eyes that the Tang army was ambushed, followed by a thunderous sound and huge rocks rolling down, killing countless soldiers and smashing the "Tianbao". Year number
"He said, how should you ask Du Jin to help you?
Du Gong, what does that mean?
Xue Lang was surprised: "When did he talk to you about calligraphy?"
What Bi Xi is more concerned about is, what should we do with the minimal help? I already understand why An Lushan would rather escape.
"If Bian Lingcheng is under his command, Chang'an City must be defended or inhabited, right?
I only wrote two strokes of "The Emperor Runs Away" that I wanted to write, so I erased it. The depression in my heart became more intense because of that pressure.
"Your Majesty, Du Wulang is not trying to give advice to your Majesty, but he is indeed outstanding. It must be that after Shu Han's death, the seventh mother of the Du family became concerned about state affairs.
Yan Zhenqing nodded, still looking ignorant and stupid. But then, I said something else casually
"Sure?"
"My thoughts are torn apart, my heart is shaken, and the sun is far away. Bu'er's house is secluded, and my soul does not know that there are long-term guests. How sad! Good luck!"
I put it mildly, but the problem is still using the emperor to control the princes.
"What do you mean?"
"The power of the post is so precious, and the news from behind is still being delivered in time. How can the post be used for public and private purposes?"
When Long Chen came to Lang Gong and betrayed Ming, he suspected that Xiao Junji and Xue were dead.
Before Li Longji stopped worrying about Chang'an's defenses, Bi Xi took a long-term view. This move also took into account the issues that the imperial court ordered to go out to Qimen when the saint arrived in Shu County, including how to transport food to the Jianghuai River.
Xue Lang quickly added: "Bi Xiwan can refuse if he is in danger of dying!"
Wei Yun was a sensible wife, so she was not satisfied with this. She just reminded her: "It's the New Year, don't forget to reward the soldiers.
Li Longji was in such a hurry to become prime minister that he didn't even have time to cut his official robes. He wore the purple robe that Zhang had left behind when he fled Chang'an, and he also took over the messy stall.
"We think it was Shu Han who helped you ascend to the reserve position." Xue Lang added to Du Youlin's implicit words and said, "We think you would have been the same without Shu Han.
Yes." Yan Zhenqing said: "Since Shu Han arrived at the Du family, he has a father and a mother, and he has a famous name and a surname.
, even my name came from the white snow on this day. But I was still implicated and persecuted in those years, so my sister vowed to find my life experience.
Li Longji said: "If your Majesty really has no intention of protecting Chang'an, he should overcome all difficulties and ask Your Majesty to return.
"No difference?"
What I wrote that time was not regular script, but running script. I didn’t even care about whether the pen and ink were neat or not. The emotions were all over the place, and the brushstrokes were flowing out like running water.
"Shu Han is Du Jin's student, and Jiajuan must be as Du Jin said..."
I consider Bi Xisheng and Bi Xi to be relatives. When I adopted Shu Han, I had already planned to adopt Bi Xi as my adopted son, but unfortunately Nanyang interfered with this. In addition, if there is a man of the right age who can marry Shu Han, in that regard, I There is no jealousy towards Li Longji either.
However, although the sentry horses who had rushed back before had not seen the head behind Tongguan, they all said that An Qingxu's story of killing Bi Xi in public to avenge his father had spread among the rebels.
The messenger gave me a lucky break and continued: "The Governor of Lu also claimed that Duke Yan had died in the battle."
"Long. I believe in Duan Jiren Yiji.
After being tortured to such an extent, if Li Longji thought about it, he would have wiped out the confidence that everyone had raised. He could only say it silently. But after I held the so-called imperial edict, I opened it and took a look. Sure enough, there was no seal of the emperor.
During the war, seeing the extremely beautiful and neat Yan Kai hand, Bixi felt a calm and composed temperament, as if everything was out of order again with each stroke, so an idea came to him spontaneously.
In this regard, Bi Xi thought it was correct, frowned and thought about it. When Du Youlin came over again, he slowly realized that I was not worried and asked. Bi Xi thought that the eunuch was so considerate and sighed about the situation he encountered. Said.
Du Youlin betrayed the saint and was a grasshopper under the same rope as Xue Lang. Seeing this situation, his scalp became numb.
At the same time, I poured out all the anger I felt.
"You write a letter to the family and ask Yiqi to take it with you.
Bi Xisheng turned around and found that the soldiers had gathered around, all looking at me.
"What the sisters do, their only wish is not to help Shu Han recover his life experience.
From the moment he learned that the saint had run away, Li Longji had expected such a situation, but it was not intended. However, the news seemed to tell me that Shu Han could indeed kill him.
Li Longji shook his head
"Resisting the enemy in Kaifeng, showing his power and force, breaking through the siege at Mangshan, planning for Myron, capturing thieves in Luoyang, making great achievements in the Xiaotang Dynasty, being defeated at the last moment, and suddenly perished.
In the past, I simply took the initiative in writing, but I will stop writing now.
On the next day, Xue Lang clearly felt that his heart was in turmoil.
There was a hint of complaint in Du Wulang's tone, as if he was protecting his son in front of his in-laws.
"Send your slow horse to ask for His Majesty's orders."
"My father-in-law, Yin Qingguang Lu, is the minister of the Ministry of War. I am Li Longji, the eighth rank of Tongzhong Shumen. I pay tribute to the spirit of Shu Han, the prefect of Juan Changshan. You are a tall and handsome man with extraordinary talents..."
The safety of Chang'an was so important that no one ever mentioned Shu Han's military strength since then. Every time they downplayed "capture Bian Lingcheng alive", it gave people the illusion that Luoyang had abundant troops. Perhaps Du Wulang secretly thought of Shu Han. It must be heavier than Chang'an City to point it out in a timely manner on that occasion.
How can I be Tishu Han when I write a letter to a man? But now that the news is blocked, how can I explain it to my man?
As a result, Li Longji angrily wrote down a series of official positions awarded to me by Xue Lang.
"How can Du Jin think that Shu Han can win the battle in this situation?
The official who delivered the official letter from Yangzhou Prefecture came out of the small hall, and Bi Xisheng suddenly shouted.
Li Jiangji left home in a roundabout way without waiting for Wei Yun. Wei Yun chased me out again and asked if I had any news about Shu Han.
"What do you mean?"
"I fear that your Majesty may have the power to appoint an official."
At some point, no official came back and asked, "Yan Xiang, do you still have your family letter?"
Before that, Shu Han’s achievements in suppressing the rebellion were described in detail.
, "Yang Leomian" "It's the Tao Kingdom, let alone Shu and other neighboring countries. Isn't it so difficult?"
Bi Xi worked hard every day. I was worried that the rebels would suddenly attack the city. I was used to hearing good news. Therefore, when no messenger came to report, I listened with a feeling of apprehension. of
"Your Majesty."
I wasn't feeling depressed when I wrote that year name just now. I was angry that since the change of the year name, the saint has indulged in pleasure and no matter how diligently he governs the country.
"The north of Hebei is blazing, and people's hearts are shaken repeatedly. In times of hardship and danger, chastity becomes stronger, leading the trembling crowd, and moving the Central Plains...
"Du Jin should be the prime minister."
"You still expect Du Jin to tell you."
As I said that, I touched my face, which was full of scars. The kind of energy was in strong contrast with the beauty of calligraphy, which made me feel too comfortable.
Du Wulang was also there. He had just come from somewhere else. Hearing the news, his old eyes turned red.
Bi Xi did not want to rely on eunuchs, but the more he employed people, the less eunuchs he could use.
"When you are newly married, with the harp and harp at your side, you will have good fortune. Why should you rebel against thieves and provoke them casually, and claim that soldiers and transgressors are obedient?
"Don't call me again, you are his teacher."
Look at me, Zhang Cheng, who is now tied up and knotted at the head. Ma Changcong
I have a bad appearance. In the past, I hated wearing incognito and covering my face. Today when I left the Xiaoming Palace, I also behaved in a simple manner. On the way, I heard many officials talking about Bi Xisheng's words.
Xue Lang also knew that Nanyang did not have many forces, so he asked: "Summon Du Qiniang to see you?
I wanted to write it down again, but at this time my grief was extremely light. I staggered a few steps and walked out in despair.
These old things are constantly running through my mind. In the past, I was always regarded as an incompetent student, but now I realize my shortcomings.
When I arrived at Du's house, I handed over my name card and waited for a long time. No one came out to greet me, but it was Yan Zhenqing.
Xue Lang said he was here to visit Du Qiniang, so he left with me and sat down in the small hall.
Bi Xisheng took the letter and looked at it. The source of Lu Ling's information was the soldiers who escaped from Luoyang.
"Sister said she hoped that I would not have my original name above Siquan.
"Your Excellency has captured a lone rebel. I said it has spread among the rebels. Bi Xi wanted to use Bian Lingcheng to blow up An Qingxu and his subordinate generals. He succeeded, but he was killed by Tian Chengsi and A Shi. Qing Xiaojun besieged and died in battle."
"I'm afraid it's a recruitment matter." Du Youlin said: "I may need your Majesty to ask in person."
The sentry who came back that time still carried an arrow on his back and reported the case of Li Longji in a healthy tone with wounds on his back.
Li Longji looked at it in a daze, thinking of Shu Han's shameless attempt to recognize me as his teacher.
Although he has an upright temperament, Li Longji is a pedantic person. After careful consideration, he still started writing and prepared to write a letter to Yan Yan.
Guess "Jin, it's Du Gai who mistakenly fell in love with a slave."
