The first thousand one hundred and forty-three chapters come forward

Bad news spreads throughout the entire Chang'an city. Although there are still bespokes showing peace on Tongguan, everyone knows that it is too late to recruit troops in the Guannei Road of Jingji Province. If Tongguan is lost, Huayin Shangluo and other places cannot be defended, and Chang'an will become an isolated city. At this critical moment, the sudden death of Crown Prince Li Heng and Rong King Li Wan made the officials and generals feel extremely frightened, and there is still anger that dares not express in vain.

So, early in the morning that day, less than 20% of the officials who came to attend the court meeting on the diligent government office building were actually present.

If it were on weekdays, Li Longji would have been furious when he saw such a sparse scene, but today he didn't want to care about these things anymore. In front of the ministers, he actually announced that he would personally lead the imperial army in a daze. He accepted Pei Kuan as the imperial court and the left-behind Xijing as the fastest speed, and directly handed over all the keys of the palace to Bian Lingcheng. When such a court meeting ended in a hurry, the ministers left behind looked at each other. Pei Kuan, who was ordered to stay in Xijing, even pinched his arm hard, then looked at Wang Jin beside him and asked: "The saint really said he wanted to personally fight?"

Wang Jin, who had just won the Censorship Censorship absent-mindedly snorted absent-mindedly: "Personal expedition? Just relying on the North Gate Imperial Guard, how can he personally expedition? The rebels have already reached Tongguan."

The death of Prince Li Heng may be just unexpected to others, but it was the biggest blow to Wang Jin. The effort he spent on Li Heng was really great. After King Guangping and King Jianning left the Sixteenth House, he was the first person to ask for help. He did not dare to receive the two for too long, but he also pointed out who might help at such a moment. But who would have thought that before King Guangping and King Jianning had had time to communicate with each other, they were arrested and returned to house arrest. Then Gao Lishi was driven out. No one in the court dared to speak for Li Heng, and he had to remain silent.

King Guangping and King Jianning were very tough and did not provide his advice. But Li Longji really took the blame for the world and killed Li Heng, who could never collude with An Lushan, and died. How could those two young emperors still have their lives?

"At this time, what does Your Majesty want?"

Pei Kuan sighed, and saw the huge place, all the ministers were either frowning and drooping their heads, or shouting indignantly, and there was chaos everywhere, and there was no leader. He had no intention of seeing such a messy scene again, and turned around and walked down dejectedly. As the few remaining high-ranking officials left, the remaining officials looked at me, and finally scattered like birds and beasts. Soon, the news that the emperor was about to personally expedition spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. Unlike most officials who did not believe in this, the people had a great sense of hope.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, few emperors have personally fought for the war. In this way, the rebels should surrender, and Chang'an City should be able to be saved, right?

However, not everyone believes such nonsense. Jiang Duke of Chu did not bother to attend any court meeting at all in the house of Jiang Du, standing in front of his old mother, Yang, and sneered angrily: "Personal expedition? If he had the courage to go to the fore, he would not have killed Li Heng and forced Li Wan to death. In the past, he would not have exiled Li Ying and his brothers to Lingnan. Even Concubine Wu Hui did not dare to be honest and punished, but forced his mother to death. Just watch it, either today or tomorrow, our Majesty will leave behind thousands of people in Chang'an City and only care about running for his own lives."

Yang had known for a long time that Jiang Jiao had been hiding well in front of others because of Jiang Du, in fact, he was always angry with the emperor. However, at this moment, she quickly advised: "Silang, you should be careful of your words like this, otherwise if you spread it..."

"Dissemble it? Ah my grandmother, he is only concerned about running for life, and he still has the intention to deal with those who slander him. I haven't seen Jingzhao Yin searching for so long, but I caught the Beimian Mountain man who was not in sight. Now, I have already made all my efforts. Du Shijiu's sister Shisan Niang will come to pick you up, so you can follow her first."

Yang was immediately shocked. When she wanted to persuade her, she saw her son suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed them heavily on her shoulders. She couldn't say anything to her lips.

"My grandma, don't worry, I have endured for so many years, of course I will not do stupid things, but I no longer want to be like my grandfather back then, foolishly think that Li Longji is a wise ruler, and I am Jiang Si, who is not a talent for heaven and earth, but why am I a man a man? He doesn't want this Chang'an, and the people in the city. I can't stand it aside. I have summoned more than 300 generals from my family. I want someone to see that Jiang, Tianshui, has no timid man who is afraid of trouble.

Only then did Yang understand what Jiang Du wanted. Thinking of his granddaughter, Jiang Du's only daughter Jiang Liuniang followed Du Guangyuan far away in the Western Regions, and his youngest son Jiang Qingchu became a princess again. Now Jiang Du has no worries, and she can't stop her son at all, so she can only sigh with tears in her eyes. Soon, Du Shisanniang came, and Jiang Du immediately called his wife and asked her to serve her old mother to leave with Du Shisanniang. Before leaving, Yang couldn't help but grab her son's hand and repeatedly reminded her, but what she got was Jiang Du's hug.

"My mother, don't worry, I'm not alone. Although Dou Shilang has given up the princess, he also promised to stay and fight. In addition, Du Shijiu's son Youlin and his son-in-law Cui Peng. As long as Li Longji really leaves Chang'an, we raise our arms and shout. Although we dare not say 18,000, we will definitely be able to pull up a group of people.

Seeing Du Shisanniang nodding slightly, she clearly knew how big a adventure her son and nephew were. Yang felt that they were both burning inside. She never said a word again. Until she helped her wife, who was also swollen in her eyes, and Du Shisanniang got on the cart, she asked in a low voice: "Thirteen Niang, are you really not worried that this is hitting the stone with an egg?"

"Madam, I only believe that they are not the only ones in the world who are good men."

The city was chaotic this day, and the same was true in the palace. The wife of Han, who had packed up the fine and soft things, joined Yang Yuyao and talked about the incident of entering Shu this time. Instead, they were all recalling the past. For them, it seemed that it was not a escape, but a trip to travel around. After all, it was the place where they grew up, but had not been back for many years.

Soon, Yang Guozhong broke in directly. He didn't care about the etiquette and said bluntly: "The Northern Gate Imperial Guard has gathered in the Forbidden Garden. At that time, everyone will go directly from Yanqiu Gate to Chang'an, cross the Wei River from Xiwei Bridge to the west, and head west to Jiannan Road. Remember, don't delay on the road, you must go fast, otherwise when the people get the news of the wind, it will be troublesome. Concubine Shu must remember to advise His Majesty, and turn back and burn the Xiwei Bridge, so as not to pursue the rebels after they enter Chang'an."

With Yang Guozhong's reminder, at dawn the next day, Yang Yuyao followed Li Longji to cross the Xiwei Bridge, and Li Longji shook his head and refused. Before that, he also rejected Yang Guozhong's suggestion to burn the Zuozangku. Because he knew that this time, except for the noble princes and grandsons of the kings, there were only a dozen officials including Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu. Due to the haste, everyone could carry only fine and soft, and all the valuable things of coarse benzene were left. As soon as the news came out, Chang'an City would be in chaos. If the warehouse was still kept alive, it might be able to hold the greedy mob and the rebels.

As for this Xiwei Bridge, if it is burned, it will be announced that he, the emperor, ignored his life and death in order to escape, and did not ruin his reputation. He could make a comeback in the future. It doesn't matter if he keeps this bridge.

Among the three palaces of Xingqing Palace in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, there were no less than tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace. When the news that the emperor and nobles had already escaped spread, the palace was in an instant. Even Bian Lingcheng, who was originally preparing for the emperor's personal expedition, was completely stunned. Just when he didn't know how to suppress the chaos in the palace, a small eunuch outside rushed in.

"General, Doctor Pei brings his troops into the palace."

The Censor Pei Kuan was ordered to serve as the imperial court of Jingzhao. Pei Kuan, who was left behind in Xijing, was all taken away by the emperor. Where did Pei Kuan get his troops?

Bian Lingcheng was confused, but at this time Pei Kuan was his only life-saving straw. Otherwise, once the palace started to make trouble, he, as a short general, could not suppress even if he had great skills, so he didn't care about anything else and immediately rushed over. When he found that although the soldiers behind Pei Kuan were wearing various clothes, he could still see hundreds of people, hundreds of people, and at least nearly two thousand people, he was even more confused. If he hadn't known that Pei Kuan's character would never be a rebel, he would almost think that the censor was here to occupy the Longting.

He hurriedly came forward and called Doctor Pei. Pei Kuan raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Du, you bring a thousand people into the palace and suppress all the three palaces. Anyone who robs will be ruling on the spot, and there is no need to be sympathetic."

Bian Lingcheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the leader who was ready to receive the order. Then he suddenly recognized that it was Li Linfu's cousin, Jiang Du, the son of Jiang Jiao, the former Duke of Chu, who was a domineering Chang'an since the early Kaiyuan year. Later, after his father died, his father was depressed for a while. When the emperor returned the title of Jiang's family, Li Linfu became in power, he spent all day without caring about his business, but he did not expect that there would be such a serious day.

Seeing Jiang Du and his group entered the palace with great pride, Bian Lingcheng swallowed hard and asked carefully: "Doctor Pei, where did these soldiers come from?"

Standing on the high-level diligent government office building, Pei Kuan felt heavy and angry in his heart when he saw the chaos in Xingqing Palace. He punched the stone railing hard, and then said word by word: "You don't have to worry about where people come from. Now that I am left behind in Xijing, I will listen to me from the palace to the outside of the palace. You go and follow Jiang Du, and then release the news that Shuofang's troops are about to arrive soon, so as to calm people's hearts, even if the saint is not there, this Chang'an City will never be lost."
