This is the exit of Chencang Road. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Liu Bang "built the plank road openly and built Chencang secretly" and passed by it.
The south of the county is the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains. There is a pass for the San Kingdom in the Zhou Dynasty, called Dashan Pass, which is the throat between Guanzhong and Sichuan.
Li Longji arrived here in a hurry, and it was considered initially safe. Even if the rebels were chasing him, he only had to retreat into Sanguan, and the rebel cavalry would not be able to use their advantage.
As a result, Nanshou's team could finally rest for a while and temporarily settled in Chencang County. The first thing they did was to look for food.
Because they fled in such a hurry, hunger has been with them since they left the capital. Not to mention the more than ten thousand soldiers of the imperial army who had not eaten, even the emperor himself was often full and hungry.
Several times, Yang Guozhong personally sent people to "recruit" people at the village market before bringing back some dry food, wild vegetables and other food to Li Longji.
This incident shows the benefits of a good tax collector. Even in times of danger and war, he never forgets his duty.
But Li Longji had had enough of the hard dry food. Once he entered the city, he immediately ordered Yang Guozhong to serve delicacies. He took Yang Yuhuan and sat in the summer hall of Chencang County, and saw the plates of hot dishes being served. I have regained some of the face I lost a while ago.
"Taizhen, you have been suffering recently, please eat more today.
"Go away."
Zhang Ting didn't say anything right away, leaving me worried. You sat down in a roundabout way and said, "You want to win a lottery."
However, there are still things that make me even more angry.
"This slave is guilty." Li Qiwu was frightened and took a step forward.
"Guizi, now you think of me." Li Fuguo read it, said lightly, and threw the letter aside.
Yang Yuhuan took two steps and said loudly: "Prince Guangping has come to the city to meet Li Longji before he enters the city.
"You will know that when we arrived at Chencang, Xue Bai wanted to enter Shu and was ready to do nothing." Chen Xuanli spat and said, "You have to let the saint deal with Xue Bai."
"Li Longji, the judge of Shuofang Jiedushi, must not have been loyal to the king very early. He served as an official in Xiaoli Division in his early years. Because he was successful in dealing with Ni Da, he was demoted to Shuofang. In those years, he was favored by An Sishun, and his official promotion was very slow. .You see, I came slowly, as if I wanted to welcome a saint, but more like I wanted to support a loyal king...
The faint sound of singing came from the small courtyard with low walls. The sound was far away, but very beautiful.
That was a letter written by my grandfather when he was in the most panic situation. He asked me in a very sincere manner to return to Chang'an to guard Chang'an.
"It should be... Li Longji can reactivate, in case he forces the Shuofang army I brought with him."
"When he entered the Shu Kingdom, Ni Dawei failed to eliminate the rebels and welcomed the saint back to the palace. He was the most filial piety. However, it was only because of his tenderness that he decided what he said!"
"Why are you summoned?"
The person who spoke was Ni Daqi's confidant. Wei Fangtui, the censor's young man, had made great achievements, but he was already an important minister in the court.
This is Du Hongjian singing.
Upon being reminded, Li Fuguo also knew that he should be wary of Xue Bai and nodded.
"That slave's words are pleasant to hear, but they are bad for you, Li Jiao. My father wants to commit rebellion. This is a fact. I drove away the saint and occupied Chang'an because I was a traitor. Now two traitors are fighting, but he Isn't it too soft-hearted to defend the city with one person?"
"Wait and see? Does he think that I can still hold Chang'an?" Xue Bai asked.
"What nonsense is he talking about?"
"Li Ao..."
"Your Majesty, don't blame that child." Zhang Ting said softly: "I can always say those words just to be the prince for my grandpa.
Ni Da spoke first: "Why don't Ni Da advise the saint to stay in Fufeng County and watch the war in Chang'an?"
The important ministers under the banquet rushed down one after another, showing concern. Chen Xuanli was not disgusted at all. He used his fingers to push aside the food that Li Fuguo had spit out, picked out the fallen dragon teeth, and found a large piece of sheep bones.
When the crisis of the war subsides, this is the time when the country needs a prince the most, and no country can stabilize people's hearts. However, the seven monarchs and ministers tacitly believed that the prince should be left vacant at this time.
Li Hengdao: "We should ask the saints to issue an edict to depose Ni Da and restore Li Ao to the position of crown prince."
Zhang Ting then turned his anger into happiness, hooked his hand, and asked Xue Bai to stand and speak.
Li Fuguo then pondered: "What would he think if I removed him from the throne now?"
"I want to depose Grandpa and then tell the heaven that this good-for-nothing was deceived by Li Cong. Xue Pingzhao, the son of Xue Xiu, has ulterior motives. He deceives the emperor and hides the palace. It is time to open the coffin and kill the corpse!"
"Why are you going to report it?"
The relationship between Li Qiwu and Li Tan is wrong. The person I care about most in my life is the palace maid Da Mozi. It is because of Li Yongrong that you are always safe and sound. They have had little contact with each other. I never thought that once it got involved in state affairs, Li Jing is so fake color
Compared with all kinds of activities behind the scenes, it is an open recognition of the authority of my emperor, and I will definitely tolerate it.
"Your Majesty is trustworthy." Chencang County said: "King Qing sent an envoy to ask for help, and the next day he vindicated the case of the Eight Common People in public..."
"Your Majesty's words have shown his ambition."
Li Fu's face changed
"It's bad, I said it." Xue Bai said: "Since their brothers all think that it is time to enter Shu and withdraw the troops from the border villages, they will do that. As for whether they should defend together with Grandpa before, or whether to recover Chang'an, let's talk about it then."
I suddenly shouted loudly, and what flashed behind my eyes was the scene of eight sons kneeling down to complain. It was Zhang Siling who was angrily withdrawing his words, and it was Concubine Wu Hui who screamed in fear... The things that followed in the past are happening one after another, and I want to scream loudly. Drink them up.
In fact, that was what Li Heng felt, but tonight was a private discussion, so I reminded Xue Bai of my personal honor, disgrace, and safety. I thought it was necessary to talk about the small situation, but I didn't expect to be compared.
"Let's talk about it later.
"What Xiaolang said doesn't make sense.
"According to the decree."
Of course our judgment is correct. As long as my grandfather holds Chang'an, he will definitely ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. When the time comes, no one in heaven can stop him.
Chen Xuanli was a little angry and scolded: "Who told him?"
Ni Daqi had no choice but to go in and out of the dilapidated hall, only to see Yang Yuhuan guarding the door.
"You go see Yang Yuhuan."
Wei Fangtui took it easy after hearing this, secretly thinking that it would be useful if Chen Xuanli only complained when something happened.
"Once the saint goes south and the bandits burn down the plank road, the area north of Sanguan will no longer be occupied by Xiaotang. The people will be disappointed, the people will be reunited after being separated, and the Central Plains will be handed over to the thieves."
Li Qiwu understood immediately and quickly stepped back and said: "What Ba Lang said is very true, but he took into account the evil people's hearts. Have you forgotten? King Qing's palace of desire forced the saint to take the throne that night, and the saint Nan Shou was forced to do so because of me. Once I help, King Qing defeated the rebels, wouldn't I want to harm the saint and the palace even more?"
"This is my grandson, it's fake!"
It is very unclear who is one of our own here and whose elbow is turned.
"The saint has issued an edict to depose the prince."
In fact, if you are an abnormal person, when you reach Li Fuguo's age, you will lose all your teeth. The reason why I had it in the first place is that I eat carefully. But when those auras are taken away, I am just a special person.
That kind of swinging or deciding stance in the battle for the throne made it difficult for the Li people to seek harm from both sides.
"The matter is slow but urgent."
"Ask him." Xue Bai asked: "Does he support grandpa's succession more?"
"Varied?!"
Of course, Chen Xuanli wanted to have a hand in the matter of establishing the crown prince, so he said firmly: "Why did the saint wait until he arrived in Shu County before making a decision?"
Suddenly, I heard a cry from Li Fu Elementary School next to me, accompanied by a small "da" sound.
The words conveyed the meaning of "Qin lost its deer, and the sky chased it together". Both of them felt safe, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Two years later, Chencang County was transferred back to the central court to serve as a general and prisoner. That time he had time to escape from Chang'an with the team. He originally thought that this was his escape, but a few days ago, he heard the news of Li Cong's death and fled quickly. Arriving one after another with the messenger sent by Grandpa.
"Now that you are not the heir apparent, and your name is just and submissive, why do you call on the troops in the border areas to wipe out the rebels?"
The quarrel went back and forth, and the topic circled back to the tangled place just now. But that time, Zhang Ting and Li Qiwu did not speak, they just looked at Xue Bai
"Brother is right."
Du Hongjian turned around and saw the saint covering his mouth with an expression on his face. He had spit out a broken tooth.
Li Tan supported Li Heng's views on the matter as soon as he opened his mouth. At the same time, he also gave some reasons for the same.
After Li Fu Guojing stepped down, he kicked Ni Daqi over and immediately turned around and threw the edict in Chencang County's face.
Li Tan has a bad relationship with Yang Guozhong and his grandfather, and has been very active in the government in recent years. Now he is the least prestigious among the eight father and son.
Xue Bai stood aside, watching that scene, the old and fatuous saint, the young and beautiful concubine, the domineering prime minister... He felt extremely relieved in his heart.
Chen Xuanli just stood up and went out, but he bumped into Yang Sui, who was rushing over.
When Li heard this, his sharp eyebrows wrinkled and he was about to speak out to refute.
"Spare my life!"
Xue Bai did not blame Li for his thoughts, but instead gave me a few words of encouragement. The next day, I went to Ni Daqi privately to express my worries about my grandfather.
"Sage, Chencang County is here."
When Ni Daqi saw him, his eyes were sore and his eyes were red for no reason. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for Li Fuguo or something else.
Chen Xuanli was about to walk away, but Yang grabbed me and whispered in my ear: "Li Ao, if you have nothing to say, you have to save the Yang family. Ir
"Fake!"
Li Fuguo suddenly became angry, and his hair and beard were bulging.
At a glance, I faintly saw the words "Luoyang is lost, Ni Da is dead", and I was shocked.
"Li Ao."
"My father's palace has changed, how can I preserve my kindness as a woman?!"
I was a little angry, turned around and scolded the cook who was cutting the mutton: "How did he cut the meat?!"
After Xue Bai came down, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "You know he attaches great importance to the Li family."rr
"If it's okay, tell Li Ao.
"How dare Shu Zijing come after me? Where am I?"
A eunuch sent the saint's clothes out of the government office for laundering and immediately delivered the news.
"I'm afraid Li Cong is a variable."
This cook has been in Nidaqi all his life and has never served the emperor or court officials. How can he answer this? He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
All along the way, he was only focused on escaping, but now that he finally stopped, Li Fuguo was able to take care of the young men's affairs and care about what happened to Chang'an City.
"His kid, why is he doing this?"
There is no problem that cannot be ignored before our eyes. When the team turns back to Chencang Road and heads to Shu County, it will go to Chen Xuanli's territory. It should be noted that the Yang family is originally in Sichuan and Shu. Chen Xuanli was the captain of Xindu County in his early years and pacified the city. During the Nanzhao Rebellion, he was still the coach in name only and was always in charge of Shu County.
"How can it be like this?" Li Ren said, "If this happens, Chang'an will definitely defend it."
"We have troops and food in Chang'an, so we must defend it." Li Heng said: "However, Ni Da has Ni Da's support and does not have Anlu Mountain as a hostage, so he may be able to stop the rebels for a while. Today's Anxi Seven Towns, Hexi, and Long From the left, officers and soldiers of Shuofang's border army are already arriving. Li Ao can take the opportunity to recruit troops and wait and see what happens, waiting for the rebels to regain Chang'an before their foothold is stable."
Yang Guozhong first thought that Li Cong was really Li Qian, and King Qing was the insider at that time. If Li Cong had not died, or he was the one in the clan who could best put down the rebellion and recreate a prosperous age,
With the instructions in place, Ni Da looked up at the sky and breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought of very little for a while.
"Today, Chen Xuanli is going to kill an innocent person because of a broken bone. When I get to Shu County in the future, if I want to kill you and your son, I will kill you if I want to."
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Since the eight father and son are the first to have an opinion, they were discussing what to do before.
That time, Li expressed the completely opposite opinion, saying: "Li Aowan can just sit back and watch, waiting for the bandits to attack Chang'an. What will be hurt is not only the life of King Qing, but the majesty of the clan. Li Ao is indeed responsible." The best strategy is to collect the people in the border villages as soon as possible, ask the Holy Spirit to return eastward, and guard the city together with King Qing, so that the country can be restored to safety after danger.
"Yes!"
Ni Daqi quickly got down and took it, glanced at it slowly with a movement that no one else could detect, and handed it to the saint.
I sent people repeatedly to investigate, and at the same time I also sent westward to urge Feng Changqing, the military commander of the Seventh Town of Anxi, to lead his troops back for reinforcements.
A heavy edict hit Chencang County in the face, which was not painful, but because it was night, Ni Daqi's words outside the city stirred up the storm.
But I thought about it and continued to write. I finished writing the edict for the deposed prince, and while I was blowing the pen and ink and thinking about it carefully, no news came.
"It's doubtful. It's clear that Chen Xuanli wants the saint to go to Shu, King Zhong wants to keep the saint in Fufeng, and King Qing wants to take the saint back to Chang'an."
It was the eldest son Li Heng who spoke first. I was decisive and said in a roundabout way without any nonsense: "It is absolutely possible for a saint to enter Shu. If Li Ao enters Shu, he will be persecuted by Chen Xuanli.
Ni Daqi then asked people to get pen and ink, and waited on Li Fuguo to write. At the same time, he reminded Li Longji quite tactfully about what he had just heard.
"It's done, hurry up and get ready.
Of course Li Fuguo will go back, but he consciously folded the edict deposing the prince... If Ni Dar dies, it will be considered inevitable for the time being, and we can talk about it after we get to Shu County.
Very slowly, Zhang Ting, who was mending clothes with his own hands, learned of this, put down the needle and thread on his wrist, and led your son Li Lu back to his residence.
As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised, but their reactions were all the same.
The same words are said to the south, but the words are lower in the context of the situation.
"yes."
When Xue Bai heard the first sentence "Work together with King Qing", his expression froze.
Now, it's finally time to pay back all that humiliation.
Li Dan scolded: "When your father and son discuss state affairs, it's his slave's fault to speak. I will never teach you to see him doing politics again!"
"Yes." Li Heng pulled Li Fu.
Now that my position is clear, I will look at the attitudes of my two sons.
In a large county in the midst of war, this was obviously a difficult matter. Ni Da was used to being manipulated by you, so he immediately called Ni Daqi and ordered me to find Botuo.
"Let Li Ao go to Guo Guo's wife and we will find out." That was the intention to launch a coup. After being suppressed and suspicious of such a young man, Xue Bai finally walked down the road, and his fingers were slightly pale.
Xue Bai frowned and paced back and forth.
Kneeling at the queen's knees, she cried bitterly and expressed her worries about the saint. When asked about the incident in Chang'an, Chencang County said: "King Qing is strong and capable, and can easily be manipulated by traitors. E."
"Xue Bai has bribed the imperial army and will come to kill Li Dou soon."
But there is not a very difficult problem in front of me.
Xue Bai was very happy when he heard this, took Zhang Ting's hand and thanked him, then walked out slowly and went to find Li Heng first.
In one word, all the shortcomings of the old man, including broken teeth, body odor, rickets, and spots, all inevitably appeared for me, making me look old and miserable.
"The sage has a clear lesson." Chen Xuanli responded.
The logic is very reasonable. If you want to benefit from it, you must first watch the battle from the sidelines. In addition, since you are "recovering" Chang'an, you must first wait for my grandfather to defeat the army and get rid of the prince, and then talk about quelling the rebellion.
Compared to the rebels conquering Chang'an, Grandpa's ability to defend the city was the most beneficial outcome for Xue Bai and the most likely outcome.
Yang shrank his head, glanced up and down, and spit out the name of a dead man.
Li Tan actually knew the current situation and simply asked the eunuchs to help him. However, since Li Qiwu dared to open his mouth to alienate the royal brotherhood, he must be severely scolded, so he said sternly: "Go to your tent and receive eighty lashes." ...
You are the same age as Li Fuchai, but you are pretending to be old-fashioned. Since Xue Bai was demoted to King Zhong, you have suffered a disadvantage. This is that the title of Prince Liangdi was changed to Princess Zhong, a legitimate wife. I don't have the qualifications to say a few words about Li Ren.
But sometimes, my position always seems a little ambiguous. For example, that night I had a premonition that grandpa might not want to change the palace, so I stopped it and informed Xue Bai about it. But when Xue Bai was about to escape with Li Fuguo When we were in Chang'an, I tried to dissuade Xue Bai from staying in Chang'an to help my grandfather defend the city. It was Ni Da and Li Heng who persuaded me hard and finally persuaded me to leave Chang'an.
Ni Daqi's originally glaring eyes narrowed, looking very wary, or more wrongly, fearful.
"Bring me some pen and ink," Ni Daqi said, preparing to hand over my first edict before danger.
Yang Yuhuan said: "Shuofang Jiedushi, the judge Li Longji, later welcomed the emperor."
"That's all. King Qing also called Ni Da Li Qian, the eighth son of the deposed crown prince Ying, and issued an edict to declare it to the people of Chang'an.
"Drag him up and chop him off."
"ah!"
"Hachiro?"
"Li Cong.
"What do Eight Lang think?" Xue Bai looked at Li again.
"Sage, King Qing has delivered a memorial.
Du Hongjian was very hungry. When the saint started to move, he picked up a piece and ate it. In the past, you used to find mutton smelly, but today you feel that the smell of the meat mixed with the rice noodles is really delicious.
"Minister Zuo, the saint must have known about this matter.
During the seven years of Tianbao, I was first implicated in the Wei Jian case and had no choice but to divorce my wife, and then I had no choice but to divorce my wife because of the Du Mo Neighbor case. What did I lose? My dignity as a prince, or even as a young husband.
"How can we mess up our position when the enemy is behind us?"
Due to the relationship between Yang Guozhong and my grandfather, I couldn't stay in Chang'an. I fled with the emperor, but I was more than ten years old and still afraid of death, but wanted to serve Li Fuguo.
"Yes." Li Rendao: "The reason why Hai'er expressed his support for King Qing in the first place was because he was forced by the situation, and he really wanted the court to be in turmoil. But since King Qing dared to force a coup in the palace, Hai'er naturally supported Li Ao, but now he has reversed the situation. Hu violated the clan, and the seven seas were divided...
Generally speaking, Chen Xuanli was also worried that the emperor he brought to Shu County would become a domineering emperor, so he felt that he had to make it more difficult for Li Cong, so he said: "King Qing did not violate the holy will, so he should not be punished, but... ....The matter of establishing a crown prince may not be decided until before the rebellion is suppressed."
What's rare is that the Hu biscuits are also cold. Even if there are no Hu biscuits on the road, they are still hot and hard to bite. Li Fuguo is too young to bite and has to be soaked in water before swallowing. Today, I finally can't use Hu biscuits. Used for chewing beef.
I wanted to open my mouth to refute, but as a father, such remarks were convenient, so I turned to look at Li Qiwu.
Zhang Ting suddenly spoke with a smile, interrupting Li's words.
"Shut up!"
At night, Xue Bai stayed in the city posthouse and summoned his eldest son Ni Da and eighth son Li Tan. Also present were my princess Zhang Ting and the eunuch Li Qiwu.
Yang Guozhong's face became less solemn and he sighed: "If the saint knew about it, there would be no doubts at all."
"On the day I left the city, my uncle not only wanted to admit his guilt, but he dared to threaten me with provisions and horses, and demanded the right to supervise the country. His heart was rebellious, so much so that if I really defended Chang'an, wouldn't I be forced to take over?"
In times of crisis, it can still be seen that you are still the most favored by the saint in the harem. Although there are no concubines such as Jiang Caiping and Fan Nan with us this time, you are the only one at the saint's side during today's banquet.
"This is going to be tricky." Ni Daqi muttered: "You should win over the imperial army and lead the saint south as soon as possible."
Yang Yuhuan used to have a plump beauty, but now she has lost a lot of weight and has become a somewhat thin beauty. She has a completely different charm, which is naturally caused by hunger.
The freshness and essence of the shoulder pen
It's been a while, but no news has arrived.
"I sent a letter to ask for help, saying that as long as I send troops, I can defend Chang'an, but is it true?"
That has something to do with Chen Xuanli. The question is, once the grandfather is eliminated, who will be the prince?
"Chang'an has been defended for a long time. The saint has issued an edict now. By the time the news reaches Chang'an, my grandfather has already been defeated. And since Li Jiao has lost his name, he can recruit troops as soon as possible to conquer the seven capitals and level the seven seas.
The topic finally came to something that I have been thinking about recently. On that point, both sons supported me very much.
Chen Xuanli's eyes narrowed in shock. Although he knew how Li Cong was still alive and knew for sure that the other party was going to take the saint back to Chang'an, I allowed it because of his desperate plan.
"But the saint lost his mind. He listened to good advice and only listened to Chen Xuanli's words. I am determined to enter Shu." Xue Bai sighed: "How can you control me?"
The positions of Xue Bai and Li Fuguo are the same
Originally, we had all thought badly about how to defend Chang'an with the small amount of troops, food and fodder. The temporary removal of Ni Da was to allow me to block the rebels and allow us to escape to Shu County. Now that we have said it, this is it. Grandpa can use it.
If the city of Chang'an is destroyed, and Li Fuguo can talk in Shu County, but Xue Bai is the boss, I am afraid that by waiting for me to destroy Li Fuguo and be canonized as crown prince again, I may have died at the hands of Chen Xuanli; but if Ni Da really defended Chang'an, We still have to negotiate terms with Li Fuguo and welcome me back to Chang'an. Li Fuguo is at most a crown prince, but Xue Bai will only be completely disqualified from competing for the throne.
"saint!"
I have long been aware of Li Cong's ulterior motives and the threat he gradually poses to me. As expected, he is actually this hateful scoundrel.
The dishes were relatively small. A freshly roasted whole lamb was cut into large pieces and served with Hubian.
It was not because the saint knew my loyalty that I dared to speak, but Li Fuguo was still not pleased and waved: "Go and get it."
Chen Xuanli kept shaking his feet while listening to the voting reports from his subordinate officials.
Chen Xuanli thought of the time when he and Li Cong were young, and thought to himself that he was the grandson of the emperor, no wonder he could retreat like me. No matter how hard he tried, he would die after his name was corrected, and as the prime minister, I would threaten The emperor enters Shu
Since Ni Da is not dead, it is up to me to kill him.
"Sage, do you want to consider Yiqi again?" Ni Daqi reminded him: "Maybe wait until the news from Chang'an comes back?"
