Bad news generally spreads at the speed of light throughout Chang'an City, although there is still a beacon fire that means peace on the side of Tongguan, but everyone knows that it is too late to recruit troops in the Guannai Province of Gyeonggi Province temporarily, if Tongguan is lost, what Huayin Shangluo and other places can not be defended, and Chang'an will become a lonely city. And at this juncture, the successive violence of the crown prince Li Heng and the king of Rong, Li Wan, made the hearts of the officials and the people all panic, and there was a faint anger that they did not dare to express.

Therefore, early in the morning, at the court meeting on the upper floor of the diligent government office, there were only less than 20% of the officials who came to participate!

If it was a normal day, Li Longji would have been furious on the spot when he saw such a sparse scene, but today he didn't want to care about these anymore. In front of the ministers, he actually opened his mouth to announce that he would take the expedition in person! In a stunned state, he used the fastest speed to accept Pei Kuan's order to stay behind for Jingzhao Yin and Xijing, and directly handed over all the keys to the palace to Bian Lingcheng to manage. When such a court meeting came to an end in a hurry, the remaining ministers looked at each other for a while, and Pei Kuan, who was ordered to stay in Xijing, pinched his arm even harder, and then looked at Wang Jin beside him and asked, "The sage really said that he wanted to do it himself?" ”

Wang Jin, who had just received the imperial history of Zhongcheng a few years ago, snorted absentmindedly and coldly: "Pro-Zheng? With only a few people from the North Gate Forbidden Army, how can they be recruited in person? The rebels have already fought under Tongguan! ”

The news of the death of the crown prince Li Heng may have been just unexpected and heartbreaking for others, but it was the biggest blow to Wang Jin. He spent a lot of effort on Li Heng, the first person to come to ask for help after the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning came out of the sixteen princes' mansion was him, he didn't dare to receive the two for too long, but he also pointed out who of them might help at this moment, but who would have thought that with the king of Guangping and the king of Jianning, they had not had time to communicate a few people at all, and they were all arrested and returned to the palace under house arrest, followed by Gao Lishi was actually driven out, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to speak for Li Heng, and he had to remain silent.

The king of Guangping and the king of Jianning were very stubborn and did not offer his advice. But Li Longji really defied the world's condemnation and killed Li Heng, who could not collude with An Lushan no matter what! My father is dead, but can the two young emperors and grandsons still be alive?

"It's all at this time, what does Your Majesty want to do!"

Pei Kuan let out a long sigh, and when he saw the huge place, the ministers were either frowning and drooping their heads one by one, or they were shouting something with righteous indignation, there was chaos everywhere, and the dragons were leaderless. He didn't want to look at such a messy scene again, so he turned around and walked down. With the departure of a few remaining high-ranking officials, the remaining officials looked at me and finally scattered like birds and beasts. Soon, the news that the Son of Heaven was about to march in person spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and unlike most officials who did not believe it at all, the people had a lot of hope in their hearts.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been few emperors in person, so the rebels should be able to surrender and Chang'an City should be saved, right?

However, not everyone believes such nonsense. In the Jiang Mansion of the Duke of Chu, Jiang Du, who didn't bother to participate in any court meeting, stood in front of his dying mother, Yang, and sneered angrily: "Pro-Zheng? If he had the courage to fight in person, he would not have killed Li Heng and forced Li Wan to death, and he would not have banished Li Ying and his three brothers to Lingnan in the past, and even Concubine Wu Hui did not dare to punish them properly, but forced people to death! A-Niang, just look at it, it's not today or tomorrow, our majesty will leave behind thousands of people in Chang'an City, just take care of your own life! ”

The Yang family had long known that because of Jiang Jiao's incident in the past, although Jiang Du hid well in front of people, he had actually been resentful of the Son of Heaven, but at this moment, she still hurriedly persuaded: "Shiro, you must be cautious when you say this, otherwise it will ...... spread out."

"Spread the word? Ah Niang, he only cares about running for his life, and he still has the heart to care about those who slander him? I didn't see Jing Zhao Yin searching for so long in the city, but he caught the Beibi mountain man who saw the head and the end of the dragon? By now, I've all been out of the way, Du Nineteen's sister Thirteen Niang will come to pick you up when she comes back, so you can follow her first. ”

Yang was taken aback, and when she wanted to persuade her, she saw her son suddenly stretch out his hands and press them heavily on his shoulders, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't speak.

"Auntie, don't worry, I've endured it for so many years, of course I won't do stupid things, but I don't want to be like Grandpa back then, stupidly thinking that Li Longji is some kind of master, and follow him before and after the saddle! I, Jiang Si, am not a genius who has been through heaven and earth, but I am also a manly man. He doesn't want this Chang'an, he doesn't want this city full of people, I can't stand idly by! I have gathered more than 300 people from the Ding family, and I want people to see that there are no timid and afraid men in the Tianshui Jiang family! ”

Only then did Yang understand what Jiang Du wanted to do. Thinking of her granddaughter, Jiang Du's only daughter Jiang Liuniang followed Du Guangyuan far away in the Western Regions, and her youngest son Jiang Qingchu became a princess again, now Jiang Du has nothing to worry about, she can't stop this son at all, only tears in her eyes and sighs. Soon, Du Sanniang came, and Jiang Du immediately called his wife and asked him to serve the old mother and leave with Du Sanniang. Before leaving, Yang couldn't help but grab his son's hand and gave him a thousand instructions, but what he got was a hug from Jiang Du.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm not alone, although Dou Shilang said that he was still a princess, he also promised to stay and fight, in addition to Du Shijiu's son Youlin and his son-in-law Cui Peng, as long as Li Longji really leaves Chang'an, we will raise our arms, although we dare not say that there are eight thousand, but we will definitely be able to pull up a team!"

Seeing that Du Sanniang bowed slightly, knowing exactly what a big adventure her son and nephew were on this trip, the Yang family only felt that everything was burning. She never said a word again. It wasn't until she got into the ox cart with the help of her daughter-in-law, who also had red and swollen eyes, and Du Sanniang also got into the car to accompany her, that she asked in a low voice: "Thirteen Niang, are you really not worried that this is hitting a stone with an egg?" ”

"Mrs. Tai, I only believe that they are not the only good men in the world!"

On this day, the city was in turmoil, and so was the palace. Mrs. Qin Guo, Mrs. Qin Guo, who had packed up and entered the palace early, met with Yang Yuyao, and when it came to this entry into Shu, they were not a little frightened, but they were all reminiscing about the past. For them, it was as if it was not a flight, but a trip to the mountains and rivers. After all, that's where they grew up, and they haven't been back for years.

Not long after, Yang Guozhong actually broke in directly, he didn't care about the number of courtesies, and said bluntly: "The North Gate Forbidden Army has already gathered in the Forbidden Garden, and when the time comes, everyone will go directly out of Chang'an from Yanqiu Gate, cross Weishui from Xiwei Bridge to the west, and march all the way west to Jiannan Road, and they will all be safe." Remember, don't procrastinate on the road, you must go fast, otherwise it will be troublesome when the people get the wind to stop you! By the way, Concubine Shu must remember to advise His Majesty that she must burn the Xiwei Bridge when she turns around, lest the rebels will pursue after entering Chang'an! ”

With Yang Guozhong's reminder, at dawn the next day, after Yang Yuyao crossed the Xiwei Bridge with Li Longji, he immediately mentioned it, but Li Longji shook his head and refused. And before that, he also refused Yang Guozhong's plan to burn down the Zuozang Library. Because he knew in his heart that in addition to the kings, nobles, and grandsons, there were only a dozen officials such as Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu, and because of the hurry, everyone could only carry the valuables of fine and soft, coarse benzene and so on. As soon as the news came out, Chang'an City would be in turmoil, and if the treasury was still well preserved, it might be able to hold back the greedy mob and the rebels.

As for this Xiwei Bridge, if it burns, it will definitely be publicized that he, the son of heaven, does not care about the lives of others in order to escape, in order not to lose his reputation, he can make a comeback in the future, and it doesn't matter if he keeps this bridge!

Among the three major palaces of Chang'an Taiji Palace, Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace, there are no less than tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and when the news that the Son of Heaven and the nobles have fled spread, the palace exploded for a while, and even Bian Lingcheng, who was preparing for the personal conquest of the Son of Heaven, was completely dumbfounded. Just when he didn't know how to suppress the chaos in the palace, a small eunuch outside rushed in.

"General, Dr. Pei has entered the palace with soldiers and horses!"

Imperial Doctor Pei Kuan? Ordered to fill Jing Zhaoyin, Pei Kuan who stayed in Xijing? The North Gate Forbidden Army was all taken away by the Son of Heaven, where did Pei Kuan get the soldiers and horses?

Bian Lingcheng was puzzled, but at this time, Pei Kuan was his only life-saving straw, otherwise once there was a disturbance in the palace, he, an empty general, would not be able to suppress it even if he had great ability! So, he didn't care about anything else, and immediately hurried over, and when he found that although the soldiers and horses behind Pei Kuan were wearing various colors, they still looked able to see hundreds of people, at least nearly two thousand, and he was even more puzzled! If he didn't know that Pei Kuan's temperament would never be a rebel, he would almost have thought that this imperial doctor had come to occupy the Dragon Court.

He hurriedly stepped forward, only to call Doctor Pei, only to see Pei Kuan raise his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Du, you bring a thousand people into the palace, and the three palaces are all pressed for me, but if there is robbery, correct the law on the spot, and don't be merciful!" ”

Bian Lingcheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the leader who was quick to receive the order, and then he immediately recognized that it was clearly Li Linfu's cousin, Jiang Du, the son of Jiang Jiao, the former Duke of Chu! This has been a tyrant in Chang'an since the beginning of the first century, and then he was depressed for a while after his father's death, and when the Son of Heaven returned the title of the Jiang family, and Li Linfu gained power, he spent all day drinking and not caring about business, but he didn't expect that there would be such a serious day!

Seeing Jiang Du and his party enter the palace with high spirits, Bian Lingcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked cautiously, "Doctor Pei, where did these soldiers come from?" ”

Standing on the high diligent government building, seeing the chaos in Xingqing Palace, Pei Kuan only felt that his heart was full of heaviness and anger. He slammed his fist on the stone railing, and then said word by word: "You don't care where people come from, now that I am staying in Xijing, from inside the palace to outside the palace, I will listen to me." You go and follow Jiang Du, and then release the news that Shuo Fang's soldiers and horses are about to arrive soon, so as to appease people's hearts! Even if the saint is not there, this Chang'an City will never be lost! ”
