Li Longji seemed to have had a very long nightmare.

In the dream, he was pointed at by his biological son with a crossbow, expressing his contempt and hatred for him, and then an arrow was taken in his chest. The same dream was repeated over and over again. He wanted to call for help and resist, but his body could not move at all. Every time he could only watch the arrow fly. Gradually, there were more follow-ups after the nightmare, and there were so many characters that were dazzling, but the only thing he could see clearly was the two hideous faces of King Yong Li and King Xiangcheng Li Yi and King Xiangcheng Li Yi, the curse with extreme resentment. Those voices kept lingering in his ears, and he could never get rid of it.

"ah"

When he had been holding it in for a while, he finally screamed, and then opened his eyes suddenly, Li Longji discovered that there was an exquisite curtain above his head, not those hideous faces, and the room was filled with a calm incense, rather than the bloody smell that had been gloomy before. Realizing that he was just dreaming before, he was still the supreme emperor, he relaxed suddenly, but just moved slightly, and the piercing pain from his shoulder made him scream. With this sound, the curtain was suddenly pulled open, and two extremely strange faces appeared.

"Your Majesty is awake, please pass it to the imperial physician."

"It's not just the imperial physician, go to the Political Affairs Hall to inform Pei Xiangguo, go to the Censorate to inform General Gao, General Chen, Wang Zhongcheng and the Minister of the Shangshu."

The messy voice made Li Longji's mind messy. The only thing that could be clearly distinguished was that Du Shiyi was not among these people. Could it be that Du Shiyi was dead? Because of the interweaving of reality and dreams, he could not remember exactly what had happened before, but the thought that came out of his heart suddenly amplified. He tried his best to calm down and called out the person, but the two eunuchs who had just arrived had already shouted and ran out, leaving him, the noble emperor of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, he felt shocked and angry, but at the moment he had no strength to pursue these bold servants.

It took him a long time before he saw two panicked imperial doctors appear in his eyes. Before he could speak, one of them immediately rolled up his sleeves and personally took a bowl of medicine that was like bitter gallstone water into his mouth; while the other was busy untiing his clothes for him, removing the white cotton cloth that wrapped the wound layer by layer, and then wiped the wound with strong liquor, cleaned the medicine. This was a bitter and painful experience, which almost made him faint again.

After finally escaping this wave, Li Longji asked hoarsely: "Where is this? Who is there now?"

"Your Majesty, this is the Qingliang Hall of the Daming Palace. It is both quiet and suitable for recuperation."

When Li Longji heard the three words Qingliang Hall, he almost got angry and smoked. When his grandmother, Empress Zetian Wu, was in Chang'an, this place was once a place she liked very much. It is said that Li Dan and other children were born here. But for Li Longji, who was extremely afraid and hated his grandmother, the place he hated the most in the Daming Palace was here. Otherwise, he would not have changed Empress Wu's last fate before An Lushan plotted against the rebellion and changed the posthumous title of Empress Zetian's Great Sage to Empress Zetian Shunsheng. This time, he could not control his anger and asked word by word: "Who moved me here?"

Both imperial physicians could sense the resentment of the emperor, but Li Longji didn't know the changes outside, but they knew very well. The two exchanged glances, and one of the older ones whispered: "The King Yong colluded with the eunuchs around His Majesty, not only to assassinate His Majesty and Prime Minister Du, but also forged an edict to mobilize the imperial guards. Therefore, His Majesty was seriously injured and unconscious before, and could not see anyone. After the agreement between the Prime Minister Pei and the Minister of the Shangshu, he moved His Majesty to the Qingliang Hall of the Daming Palace. Now the people who supervise the country are discussing the people who supervise the country. The Censor Wang Jin and many other ministers elected the second son of the late Prince, the King of Nanyang."

As soon as these words were said, Li Longji felt like he was struck by lightning, and a smell of blood was spurted out in his throat. He ignored him in a daze and hurriedly came up, and was a royal doctor who was helping him. There was only one thought in his mind - he lost too badly in this battle. King Yong Li's arrow not only caused him physically to suffer heavy damage, but also the accusations that broke the window paper that killed Du Shiyi, which almost collapsed his already fragile spirit. Now facing such the worst news, how could he still hold on?

Prince Li Heng's second son, King Nanyang? Who is that? He can't even remember what such a grandson looks like

Holding on for the last breath, Li Longji gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the right prime minister Du Junli? What did he say?"

"Report to your Majesty, the military situation in Hebei is unstable. I was originally planning to take down Ye County and Fuyang and turn Anyang into an isolated city. Unexpectedly, the army of Anshouzhong in Fuyang, Ye County, was ambushed, and the governor of Hedong, Cheng Qianli, was defeated. His Majesty did not wake up at that time. So after discussing, he decided to use Prime Minister Du as the marshal to recruit Shuofang, Hedong, and Anbei, and go to Hebei to preside over the battle. Early this morning, Prime Minister Du entrusted all state affairs to Pei and others, transferred Anbei vanguard camp to accompany him, and had already rushed to Hebei."

Hearing that Du Shiyi was no longer in Chang'an and had officially become a marshal, Li Longji felt that the anger in his heart could not be smooth, and he fainted again. Leaving such a mess, Du Shiyi actually retreated and went to the front to lead troops, which undoubtedly slapped him hard again. He tried his best to use his serious illness to summon Du Shiyi back, but in the end, he not only compensated himself, but also caused a major case involving countless people, and made the ministers give birth to a king of Nanyang.

Who is King Li of Nanyang?

It was not just Li Longji who asked such a question, but even many officials and civilians in Chang'an City also had such questions. Although it was the oldest of Li Heng's remaining sons, when Li Heng was imprisoned, King Guangping and King Jianning ran around, but they did not see the King of Nanyang coming forward to call for justice for the king and father. In the eyes of many people, such a grandson was not as good as Princess Cui of Guangping, who came from the Yang family. Some people even believed that the emperor had many princes, and he should not choose the Eastern Palace among the royal grandsons. Prince Ying, who was famous, was the best candidate for the Eastern Palace.

King Ying himself never jumped out to compete with his nephew, but King Sheng Li Qi, who had been lucky enough to get the emperor, and King Feng Li Gong, were reluctant to let Li, who was just the son of a palace servant in the East Palace sit on his head. They could not leave the Sixteen Kings' house, send it up one by one. For a moment, the entire Chang'an City was full of discussion, and the group of people who were inquiring the prisoners in Taichung made countless people feel anxious.

A messy Chang'an was left, and Du Shiyi had already left Tongguan again at this moment. Compared to the only 100 people around him when he came, this time when he returned, in addition to the more than 600 vanguard battalions of Azle, there were also a group of Guanzhong heroes who asked for their own entourage, and they had about 200. If it weren't for the insufficient horses in Chang'an City, he wouldn't have been able to call horses in the stables of the emperor, so he was afraid that there would be more people who followed him. These people heard the rumors and learned that he did not leave any other matters of being involved in the establishment of the crown prince, but rushed back to Hebei to preside over the battle. He was moved, so he gathered from all over Gyeonggi Province.

Since his strength was sufficient, he was not worried that someone would intentionally get mixed into the sand. He transferred ten elite veterans from Azle and put them down to train these useful warriors. However, he was with his soldiers in every diet and daily life. Because of the Anlushan Rebellion, the once prosperous inns on the north and south roads of Mount Wushan were severely damaged. He had just recovered his messenger function, but he was unable to catch the reception officials. Therefore, he just set off at dawn, passed by the prefectures and counties along the way to replenish food, or slept in the open or took a night to rest. This cycle took only a few days to arrive at Ji County, Weizhou.

Ji County is located in the north of Hedong and in the south of Heluo Capital. Previously, there were three troops stationed in Hedong, Shuofang and Anbei. However, now, the army has captured Tangyin County, Ye County, and the main force has moved with the past. There are only more than 2,000 people left behind Ji County to ensure the safety of the food route and the rear. However, when arriving here, Azle, who was fighting in front of the station, found that the guards inspected the city gate were either dejected or listless, and even the soldiers inspecting the city gate seemed depressed. Even when his group of more than a dozen people were about to reach the city gate, the reaction here was still very slow.

"Take me to meet the chief general stationed in Ye County"

Seeing Azler's horse stop, he shouted a loud voice, and someone came forward as if he had woken up from a dream. When he was about to check Azler's identity, he suddenly saw the banner of the Anbei Forefront Camp. For a moment, he shouted suddenly, and the city suddenly became loud and loud, and the people under the city were also in a state of turmoil. In a moment, Azler's dozen riders were immediately surrounded by others.

Faced with such an unexpected scene, Azler frowned into a big bump, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the waist without realizing it. But then he heard what these people asked clearly, and he was relieved just now, but he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Aren't your Anbei Forward Battalion staying in Chang'an?"

"Did that foolish monarch really kill Marshal Du?"

"Why can't you even protect Marshal Du? Is the reputation of the Anbei Forward Camp iron chisel made in vain?

Azle didn't say anything when attacked by such a group, but his subordinates couldn't help but get angry. An old man with the most violent temper waved his whip in anger and cursed: "The Grand Marshal is in the rear army and is about to arrive in Ji County. What's your intention? How dare you curse the Grand Marshal?"

When he heard that Du Shiyi was about to arrive in Ji County, the crowd who was still angry just now suddenly became silent. He looked at each other for a while, and someone couldn't help asking: "Be serious? Is Magistrate Du really coming?"

"Of course, I am the leader of Anbei Forward Camp Du Sui, and my adoptive father will arrive soon."

This time, everyone finally believed it. As the people under the city shouted loudly about this good news, a cheer suddenly came from the top of the city. Immediately afterwards, Azle and others were surrounded into the city like triumphal troops. Despite receiving such high treatment, Azle only felt heavy in his heart.
