On the fifth day of the first month of March, Wang Yuan and his entourage went to Chang'an.

Because this time the family moved, it took two full days to prepare, and on the day of departure, hundreds of carts set off from the royal house and onto the street under the escort of thousands of personal cavalry.

As soon as they entered the main street, they realized that the streets were already overcrowded. Hearing the news that Wang Dashuai was going to Chang'an, the people of Chengdu heard the news and spontaneously rushed to the street to see Wang Dashuai off.

The news of Xuanzong's funeral has already spread throughout the city of Chengdu, and now that Wang Dashuai moved his family to Chang'an, many people actually know it. And in the past two days, a lot of gossip has already been circulated in Chengdu City, which is about the conjecture that Wang Yuan went to Chang'an.

For the people of Chengdu, their feelings about Wang Yuan's departure from Chengdu are complicated. On the one hand, they didn't want Wang Yuan to leave Chengdu. After all, in the past seven or eight years, Wang Dashuai has been the protector of the hearts of the people of Shudi, and with him, he is not afraid of the sky falling. And now, Wang Dashuai is leaving, which makes the people's hearts feel empty.

But on the other hand, the purpose of Wang Dashuai's entry into the capital this time seems to have been clear, if Wang Dashuai is really as rumored, he will become the new monarch on the throne, then it will be a blessing for the world. From this point of view, the people of Shu are also happy for Wang Yuan.

In this mood of joy and loss, they came to the street to deliver a letter for Wang Yuan. From the white-haired old man to the drooping child, everyone crowded the streets to see them off. When they saw Wang Yuan riding a black horse and smiling on the street, the crowd of black pressure fell to the ground like a mountain peak collapsing, kowtowing to Wang Yuan.

"Wang Dashuai, are you coming back?"

"Wang Dashuai, remember to come back to see us."

"Wang Dashuai, you won't leave us alone, right?"

“……”

The people shouted loudly and were emotional. This situation, Wang Yuan was also very moved in his heart. It is the people of Shu who have supported every step of the way in the past few years. Most of the soldiers and horses in the Shence army are the children of Shuzhong. Every step of his life in Shu is inseparable from the support of the people of Shu. When I first arrived, I did have some mustard, but now, it is obvious that they are dependent on each other and have a deep relationship.

"Folks, fathers and elders, get up. I'll be back, and I'll definitely be back to see you. Wang Yuan waved his hand.

"Wang Dashuai, you are going to Chang'an to be the emperor." A teenager suddenly cried out.

Wang Yuan scratched his head and didn't know how to answer him, Tong Yan was unscrupulous, it was really difficult to answer this kind of question at this time.

"Wang Dashuai is the most suitable emperor to be the emperor, we all support Wang Dashuai as our emperor." Someone shouted.

"Yes, we all support Wang Dashuai as the emperor, if there is anyone in the world who is unwilling, we will destroy them."

"That's right! Destroy them. Wang Dashuai is the master of the world, who dares to say that he is more capable than Wang Dashuai, please invite him to compete with our Wang Dashuai. I, the Shu Di Divine Army, will definitely beat them to the ground. ”

"That's it, whoever doesn't accept it, walk with our Shence Army."

The people shouted loudly and became a mess. Wang Yuan could only smile and wave his hand and walk all the way.

The crowd on the street is crowded, the people in front and back gather more and more, when Wang Yuan out of the north city gate, the outside of the Chengdu city gate is even more black pressure can not suppress more than 100,000 people have been waiting here. Wherever Wang Yuan's car went, there was a scene of kowtowing and bowing. Eventually, I don't know who got up, and the people began to shout hooray. At the moment when Wang Yuan's car slowly passed through the north city gate. The sound of 'long live' resounded between heaven and earth.

The reason why the car left Chengdu and left Shu from the North Road was because this road into Shu was the road taken by Wang Yuan when he arrived in Shu. Now that he has left Shudi, Wang Yuan will also return from the same way. Although there will be some delays, the time of this journey is precious for Wang Yuan, and after arriving in Chang'an, I am afraid that there will be no such mood and mood in the future.

From Chengdu to Zizhou, then through Langzhou to Lizhou, through Xingzhou Fengzhou to Longzhou, and then out of Qingning Erzhou. It took nearly ten days for the car to officially leave Shudi Longyou Road. After leaving Shu, the car turned to the southeast, and after passing through Pizhou, it entered the land of Gyeonggi. In the evening of this day, I passed through an old place.

This place is Maweipo. Originally, Wang Yuan did not plan to stay in Ma Wei, but Mrs. Qin and Yang Yuhuan strongly asked Wang Yuan to let them go to Ma Weipo to have a look, to see the tombs of the Yang family who died in the Ma Weipo Rebellion, and to pay respects.

Of course, Wang Yuan couldn't bear to refuse, and in the early afternoon, the chariot was camped in the valley ahead, and Wang Yuan rode a horse and took the two female light chariots to the Maweipo Post Station.

Since the change of Ma Wei, this Ma Wei post station has long been unattended. This is the place where the emperor was lost, and there was a major change, thousands of people died here, who would dare to use this post station again, this place has long been ruined and dilapidated. There were even scattered bones and rusty weapons on the ground. Although the spring sun in the afternoon shines obliquely overhead, when you enter the post station, you can still catch the chill of the forest.

A few people slowly walked along the road of the post station, and from time to time a black crow flew up, croaking and croaking, which was terrifying. When you arrive at the inn of the post station, you can see from afar that in the small courtyard of the collapsed wall in the east, a pear tree is blooming, as white as a tree of winter snow. It was the small Buddha hall where Yang Yuhuan almost died. Under the pear blossom tree, buried are the bodies of the crown prince Li Heng and Li Fuguo. It may be precisely because of the nourishment of their corpses that this pear blossom can bloom so luxuriantly.

The three of them did not come any further, and the ominous place could not stay for long, so they turned back and went to the clearing between the woods to the south. There are more than a dozen graves of all sizes, and it is the family members of Yang Guozhong's father and son and the family members of Mrs. Han who are buried. Years have passed, and the wooden monument that was originally made of wood has collapsed, and the grave has long been covered with grass.

The two sisters offered fruit and wine on the grave one by one, remembering the original incident, they did not feel sadness from it, and hugged their heads and cried.

Wang Yuan also bowed three times at Yang Guozhong's grave to show his remembrance. Although Yang Guozhong actually used himself a lot back then, he didn't treat himself sincerely. But in the end, I borrowed his strength to climb up. In general, the kindness is not thick, but the resentment is not deep, and it can only be regarded as mutual use. But the person is dead and has grievances, and it is considered that he has done his best to come and see him and bow to him a few times.

After some tossing, when the sun was setting, Wang Yuan and the others returned to the camp. was burying the pot and planning to eat early and rest, and get up early tomorrow to hurry, but Zhao Qing came to report with a smile that the Gao Xianzhi people who came to greet him in the capital had arrived.

Wang Yuan hurriedly came out to greet him, and sure enough, he saw Gao Xianzhi, Song Jiangong, Liu Jun and a large number of civil and military officials from Chang'an coming to greet him. They had rushed to meet them a long time ago, but they mistakenly thought that Wang Yuan and his entourage were going to leave Shu from Tongzhou, but they ran to Tongzhou to get the news, so they turned around and went north to meet them again.

When everyone saw each other, it was even more polite. That night, everyone drank some wine and went to bed early. Wang Yuan was also a little tired, and fell on the bed, the eldest sister's little hand hammered on the shoulder a few times, and Wang Yuan fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, a panicked and noisy noise woke Wang Yuan. When he sat up, he saw a figure outside the tent, his pupils swaying with torches, and his footsteps were mixed. Wang Yuan was startled, and reached out to touch the people around him, but found that Huang Ying was not around. Reaching out to the head of the bed, Mo Bingjian found that not only was the blade there, but even the jacket and clothes that had been placed on it before going to bed were not there.

Wang Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, crawled out of bed, and shouted outside the tent with a fixed concentration: "Who is making noise outside?" Zhao Qing, where is Tan Ping? ”

"Marshal, I'll wait here." Zhao Qing and Tan Ping's voice came from outside the tent.

"What are you doing? Who's out there? Could something have happened? Wang Yuan shouted.

"Commander Qiqi, there is indeed a situation, and it is a big situation. Please don't come out, and protect the safety of the marshal. Deputy Marshal Gao has already dealt with it, and there will be news soon. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and stomped his feet, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. I secretly looked around the tent, but found that all the sides of the tent were surrounded by neatly armed soldiers and horses, and it didn't look like there was anything else, but it was as if I had put myself under house arrest.

Wang Yuan's heart was pounding, and he secretly thought: Could it be that this Ma Weipo is really an ominous place, and once he arrives here, it is inevitable that the soldiers will mutiny? But when I think about it, I think it's impossible. Zhao Qing, Tan Ping, Liu Jun, Gao Xianzhi, these are brothers in their own life and death, how could they do this. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if they had the heart of chaos, how could Gongsun Lan disappear, in this case, Gongsun Lan was afraid that he would have already killed him. Could it be that Gongsun Lan and Twelve Niang were all poisoned?

Wang Yuan was thinking wildly, but he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the light of a large torch and a large noisy footsteps were approaching. Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and copied a stool in his hand, his eyes staring at the mouth of the tent. The tabernacle was opened, and the light of the torches shone in, and a large group of soldiers with torches rushed in. Wang Yuan hurriedly retreated, and then he saw the smiling faces of Gao Xianzhi, Liu Jun, Song Jiangong, Liu Dehai and others, as well as the countless figures standing in the black outside the tent.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Wang Yuan asked in astonishment.

Gao Xianzhi laughed and said: "Dashuai, the soldiers have mutinied, they are willing to me, saying that they will not leave if they don't promise them one thing." ”

Wang Yuan said angrily: "Presumptuous, play this game with me, let me see who is making trouble?" Is there still such a soldier in my Divine Army? ”

Wang Yuan said that he rushed to the door of the tent. Gao Xianzhi scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Why don't you listen to their requirements, and then it's not too late to decide." ”

Wang Yuan said angrily: "I don't listen. ”

Gao Xianzhi waved his hand, and Zhao Qing, Tan Ping and Liu Jun rushed forward and grabbed Wang Yuan's arm. Wang Yuan said angrily: "You three, do you want to turn it around?" Liu Jun, you are so bold. ”

Liu Jun smiled bitterly and didn't answer, and Gao Xianzhi said in a loud voice: "Brothers outside the tent, listen, if you have any requests, just put them forward." Listen, Dashuai. ”

The black-pressed figure outside the tent fell to his knees, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "I'll ask Dashuai to be the emperor." If the marshal is not the emperor, we will not let the marshal move forward. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and didn't react yet. I saw Gao Xianzhi reach out and take a yellow robe from a guard next to him. With a wave of his hand, Liu Dehai, Song Jiangong, Liu Jun, Zhao Qing, Tan and others rushed up, and put their robes on Wang Yuan's body.

Gao Xianzhi shouted long live and fell to his knees. All the generals fell to their knees in unison, and everyone shouted: "Long live, long live!" ”

Wang Yuan stood there in a daze, looking at the shining dragon robe on his body, looking at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, speechless.

Yellow robes, these people are sneakily planning such a thing.

Wang Yuan slowly walked out of the tent, and he saw Gongsun Lan, Li Xin'er and other wives and concubines, as well as his three children, all kneeling on the ground. Ah Luo, who was pregnant with Rokka, also knelt on a futon. It turned out that all this was just kept in the dark, and they were all involved.

"I'm ......," Wang Yuan said in a dumb voice.

"Marshal, please agree to the request of the soldiers, Your Majesty is newly mourned, and there is no owner in the world. The country must not be without a king for a day, otherwise the world will be in chaos. We know that Your Majesty is high and bright, and there is no heart to reign in the world. But at this time, please take the common people in the world as your mind and take charge of the society, which is the will of heaven and cannot be violated. Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly.

"Please agree, this is the will of heaven and cannot be violated." The crowd shouted in unison.

Wang Yuan frowned and shouted, "Nonsense, are you trying to roast me on the fire?" ”

Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice: "The ascension to the throne of the great marshal is the hope of all the people, and the hope of all is returned. Does the marshal hope that all the people in the world will be trapped in a sea of misery and no one will save them? ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "How can this matter be so hasty? Think long-term. It is not feasible to seek permission from officials and the common people. ”

Gao Xianzhi waved his hand, and a minister with white hair took out a stack of documents from his arms and said: "Great Shuai, this is a table submitted by the officials of the fifty-six states in the world, and sixty copies of the book of the people jointly submitted by the people of each state. The will of heaven is like this, and the public opinion is like this, if the marshal refuses again, it will not hurt the ardent expectations of the officials and the people. I implore the marshal to think twice, and implore the marshal to ascend the throne as the emperor. ”

"I implore the marshal to ascend the throne as emperor." Everyone shouted.

Wang Yuan stood quietly in place, the night wind blowing his scattered bun, blowing the yellow robe on his body to hunt. After a long time, Wang Yuan finally sighed and said, "Hey, since that's the case, it seems that I can only promise you." ”

Everyone was overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Hooray, hooray, hooray." The cheers pierced the night, and the sound shook the sky.

……

On March 28, the lights in Chang'an City were full of joy. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the large squares inside and outside the imperial city to watch the ceremony.

At the right time, inside and outside the imperial city, the horn sounded for a long time, and the dragon flag was displayed. Wang Yuan led civil and military officials to worship heaven and earth, and then officially ascended the throne of Taiji Palace. Soon after, the edict to the people of the world was issued, the country name was changed to Dashu, the Yuan Yong'an was built, Luoyang was abolished and Chengdu was replaced as the accompanying capital, amnesty was granted to the world, and the tax was reduced for three years. From this time on, the Tang Dynasty became history.

Immediately, the new emperor issued an edict and rewarded the ministers. Gao Xianzhi, Liu Jun, Zhao Qing, Tan Ping, Liu Dehai, Song Jiangong, Du Fu, Wang Changling, and a cadre of meritorious ministers from Long were all promoted and given important positions. Among them, Gao Xianzhi was worshiped as Xiangguo, named the king of Anxi County, and led the post of commander of the Shence Army. Liu Jun was the lord of Prince Zhong, the deputy commander of the Shence Army, and the commander of the cavalry. Zhao Qing Tan Ping worshiped the general of the Zhenguo University and commanded the left and right camps of the forbidden army. The rest of the generals were rewarded, and the ministers who supported them were all settled.

In the afternoon, the grace of God came again, and the queen of the East and West Palaces was canonized, Li Xin'er was the Empress Xiankang of the East Palace, and Gongsun Lan was the Empress Jingyi of the West Palace. Ruan Luozhu, Gao Moyan, Cui Ruoying, and Yang Rui were appointed as imperial concubines. Lan Xinhui, Huang Ying, Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er are concubines. Mrs. Qin restored the name of Mrs. Qinmingguo and rewarded her with the title of 'Deyi'. Yang Rui is Yang Yuhuan, she doesn't want to be registered in the name of Yang Yuhuan anymore, and Wang Yuan doesn't want to make the world boil, so she asked her to change her name and be registered.

In May of the first year of Yong'an, the descendants of Li Tang gathered in Laizhou to rebel, and the thieves once gathered 30,000 people. Zhao Qing, the general of the forbidden army, led the forbidden army of 50,000 to suppress it, and two months later, exterminated the thieves, killed Li Yuan, Li Zhi, and Li Fang, the descendants of Li Tang, and returned to Beijing.

In the spring of the second year of Yong'an, the Hui Ministry sent an envoy to refuse to fulfill the compensation agreement signed after the defeat of Fengzhou, and his words were extremely arrogant. The Shang ordered someone to investigate, and the Hui tribe secretly united with the remnants of the Turkic remnants of the East Khitan Xi tribe, and gathered 180,000 troops with bad intentions. Worship the right minister Gao Xianzhi as handsome, and kill the bone force Pei Luo proton sacrifice flag. Gao Xianzhi led an army of 100,000 to the north and swept across the prairie. The Hui united with the Turkic Khitan and other northern tribes to resist to the death, and after three months, Gao Xianzhi exterminated the tribes. More than 150 leaders of the various departments returned to Chang'an.

In the autumn of the second year of Yong'an, the imperial court ordered the Tubo State to be surrendered and unified, but the monarchs and ministers of the Tubo State did not obey, and gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for war. In September, the first part of the Tubo attacked the Jiannan Salt Lake and killed 300 defenders of the Great Shu. Shang was furious and ordered Liu Jun, the prince of loyalty, to lead an army of 150,000 to attack Tibet. In mid-November, the army approached the city of Luo, and Huzun bombarded the city for three days and three nights, and there was almost no tile intact in the city. The army immediately attacked the city, broke the city in one day, captured the Tibetan Zanpu princes and returned to Beijing.

In the winter of the second year of Yong'an, the imperial court issued an order to set up three metropolitan protectorates, namely Mobei, Desert, South and Modong, and led the northern grassland territory. Divide the Tibetan tribes, set up four protectorates in southern Tibet, northern Tibet, eastern Tibet, and western Tibet, and garrison troops and horses to control the situation.

In the spring of the third year of Yong'an, Luo Feng, the head of the Nanzhao Kingdom, entered Beijing and proposed that the whole country should return to the Tang Dynasty. After consideration, I agreed to his request. Then he set up the Nanzhao Autonomous Mansion, crowned the king of Nanzhao with Geluo Feng, and awarded the governor of the autonomous prefecture. Send 10,000 troops into the station,
