The so-called Son of Heaven is naturally no longer as luxurious as in Chang'an City, and more than a dozen ordinary cars are staggering forward on the rugged field road. The cavalry in the lead www.biquge.info as the forerunner was also listless, and the horse's hooves were rhythmically knocked down on the muddy road.

If Yang Guozhong hadn't known the inside story in advance, I'm afraid he would have thought that this was a local official who was on patrol, and it would never be possible to be associated with the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty anyway.

In fact, Li Longji's decision to order the way was correct, after passing the pass, the wind and snow suddenly became smaller, if they were still waiting in place, most of the princes and grandchildren would still be eating snow and drinking the wind there.

"The minister bought a few pieces of bread, the saint, please put a cushion of hunger first. ”

A bamboo basket of Hu cakes was handed in front of Li Longji, there were only a dozen of them in it, and he looked at it with a gloomy look in his eyes, although he was dissatisfied, he did not mean to blame Yang Guozhong, but with this little bit of food, how could it be enough for the people accompanying him to satisfy his stomach? Not to mention the concubines, princes, grandsons, and princesses who followed the fleeing, even the forbidden army that followed them had not entered the water and rice for a whole day since the beginning of the Xiao Mutiny.

Let Li Longji ignore these forbidden soldiers who have been following him after the mutiny, and eat these Hu cakes first to satisfy his hunger, he will never be able to do it, and he can't do it.

"The soldiers are still hungry, I, how can I eat these cakes?"

Before the words fell, I heard the immature children's voice speak.

"There is bread to eat, bread to eat......"

A gust of wind, the small body has already run to the basket, a pair of small hands can't wait to lift the rag covered by the cake...... the sound of "pop!" is extremely crisp, the child can't stop crying. It turned out that Li Longji slapped Xiao Tong's hand.

When all the ministers saw this, they all fell to their knees, and some of them even began to cry with a whimper.

"Saint, the emperor and grandson are too young to stand the ...... of hunger"

At this time, Yang Guozhong didn't care about the snow cement slurry on the ground, and knelt on the ground and persuaded Li Longji sadly.

Li Longji raised his gray and drooping eyebrows.

"If the soldiers have not eaten a drop of water, how can such children eat first?" The order will be issued, all the food will be given priority to the soldiers and ministers, and everyone will eat it, and I and the princes and grandchildren will eat it again.......

"Your Majesty......"

As soon as these words came out, the forbidden troops around him were also moved, and they knelt on the ground one after another, shouting Your Majesty, and their voices were also choked.

As the so-called lord worries about the humiliation of his ministers, the Son of Heaven is hungry, and he has no place to be ashamed of himself.

These people who can follow Li Longji's "Western Hunting" are all the most trusted people in his ordinary life, except for the forbidden army, and their loyalty is naturally much higher than that of the officials next to them, and they all weep incessantly.

In the midst of the grief of the monarch and the ministers, he suddenly heard the sound of commotion in the village, and the soldiers and horses made Cheng Ruxuan vigilant, and looked up, but saw that villagers continued to pour out, crowding close to the frame of the Son of Heaven.

After the camp roared mutiny, Cheng Ruxuan had already become a frightened bird, where did he dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered:

"Sergeant escort, escort!"

A shout stunned everyone, and the ministers looked over in a panic, but they saw that their eyes were full of people who were crowded over, and the people were ragged and skinny, and no matter how they looked at it, they looked like they were not good.

Although the forbidden army was tired and hungry, after receiving the military order from the soldiers and horses, they all fought hard and prepared to draw their swords to fight.

"Wait, go back!"

The old voice was extraordinarily high-pitched, even so high that it broke the tone. After Li Longji let out a sigh, his face turned red, and his facial features were distorted and deformed because of anger or excitement and fear. But the next sentence was heard clearly by everyone.

"No harm to my people!"

The forbidden army had to give up their intention to rush forward, but they still stared at the hundreds of people who crowded over.

"Front, in front is His Majesty the Tang Emperor?......"

Some villagers were bold and timidly asked.

The forbidden army responded in unison:

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is here!"

But the sound also resounded in the fields and on the side of the mountain.

In an instant, the people fell to their knees, and as for what they said, it was chaotic and noisy because of their words. After Yang Guozhong recovered from the panic, he noticed that there were baskets in front of each of the people, which were full of food.

In an instant, Yang Guozhong burst into tears, and the baskets of grain from the people not only sent charcoal in the snow, but also warmed his cold heart. If a day ago, Yang Guozhong would not even look at this kind of coarse grain, but now he feels that it is precious.

Sure enough, an old man took a few steps forward.

"When the people heard that His Majesty the Emperor was coming, they were willing to sacrifice their food at home......"

Not only Yang Guozhong, but even Li Longji had hot eyes and a sour nose, and cloudy old tears rolled down from the sockets of his eyes. From the eunuchs to the county commanders along the way, they all fled, and since crossing the bridge, the local government has not received him, the son of heaven in distress, but has received the people's contributions in this countryside, and this kind of moving is difficult to reach even if the subordinates donate millions of gold and silver.

Li Longji could no longer care about the reserve of the Son of Heaven, so he broke out of the protective net surrounded by the forbidden army in three or two steps, and came to the old man to help him up. Then he wanted to say something as a reward, but his mouth fluttered for a while, and he couldn't say a word, only holding the old man's rough big hand tightly, and exerting more force.

The food offered by the people was worse than that of Hu bread, which was coarse rice made by mixing coarse wheat and beans and steaming, but even so, the whole team ate it very sweetly from top to bottom.

Of course, due to the limited number of meals, a team of hundreds of people, each person can only get a ball of coarse grain rice, the princes, princesses, and grandchildren eat as if the delicacies of the mountains and seas devoured it, after eating the rice balls in their hands, they want to eat it anymore, but there is no more, they can only watch the other people who have not finished eating swallow in large gulps.

At this point, Li Longji finally ate two bites of Hu Biscuits, but he had too many things on his mind and didn't know that he was hungry and thirsty, so a few mouthfuls of Hu Biscuits were stuffed into his stomach, so he broke the few Hu Biscuits into several pieces and distributed them to those young emperors and grandchildren. Although what he said in his mouth was resolute, these emperors and grandsons were his heart meat after all, and now that the forbidden army had coarse grain to eat, he naturally wanted to give these dolls a little more.

Seeing the emperor and grandson like wolves and tigers competing for cold and hard Hu cakes, Li Longji's nose was sour, and he was so hung that he shed tears. He is the Son of Heaven and rich all over the world, and he has always wanted to sit on the throne of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he can be famous for eternity, He Cheng thought that he would end up in such a field today? It is almost difficult to protect even his own grandson.

Li Longji finally couldn't help it anymore and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. Then he looked at the old man who had been beside him and asked:

"Dare to ask the old man's name?"

The old man waved his hand again and again.

"In front of Your Majesty, there is a very high surname, my name is Guo Congjin, and I killed Qiang Gouli under the command of Geshu Old Prime Minister back then......"

The words are full of pride. Originally, after Ge Shuhan was killed, this person was a taboo in front of the Son of Heaven, and anyone with eyes would not mention it around Li Longji, but this old man suddenly talked about Ge Shuhan, and Yang Guozhong's heart couldn't help but sink. However, unexpectedly, Li Longji not only did not get angry, but also patted Guo Congjin on the shoulder and praised:

"The people are loyal and brave, and I am very relieved, very relieved!"

Of course, this is an empty sentence, but Guo Congjin's proud words made Li Longji's thoughts jump back to twenty years ago, during the Kaiyuan period, famous ministers and famous generals were like clouds, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Jiuling, and even Zhang Shuo's faces flashed in front of his eyes one by one, and the general Wang Zhonghei was shocked, if this person did not die, how could An Lushan dare to rebel?

It's a pity that these people have been degraded or forced to death by him, and when they finally want to use people, they suddenly realize that they have really become a loner.

Thinking of this, Li Longji's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly thought of someone.

Tongguan has been captured, I don't know where this person is now? Thinking of this person, Li Longji can only feel remorse pounding his chest like a tide. If this person had not been left in Chang'an, if this person had been sent to Hebei, if this person had been sent to Shandong. Perhaps, there will be more miracles, and Tongguan may not have fallen today.

However, the wood is already in the boat, and no amount of assumptions will only make Li Longji more uncomfortable, and his heart is like a knife.

"Your Majesty, I don't like to hear a sentence, but I have been holding it in my stomach for a long time, if it weren't for the thief's rebellion, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the opportunity to say it in this life. ”

Li Longji glanced at Guo Congjin in surprise and nodded to signal him to continue.

"An Lushan has long had an anti-image, there are people in the court to complain, but Your Majesty killed those people, if you listened to the advice of those people, why did Your Majesty have the dilemma of fleeing today?"

Guo Congjin spoke mercilessly, pointing directly at Li Longji's sore spot, even Yang Guozhong's heart was shocked when he heard it, and although this old man was a little restrained, he was not afraid.

Li Longji was ashamed and remorseful, he wanted to justify, he had his own reason for killing those people at the beginning, but now all the justifications at this time can only become a joke, so he only nodded in agreement.

"Although I haven't read many books, I have heard a lot of stories about ancient emperors, and I have sought out loyal and wise people to speak widely, so that I will not be blocked by traitors. When Song Jing was the prime minister, he dared to speak out and admonish, and the world was safe and sound. Later, His Majesty only liked to listen to sycophants, and no one dared to tell the truth anymore. Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can you know the suffering and chaos outside the palace?"

Guo Congjin's sentence was like a sentence, and Li Longji's body was incomplete.

After a long time, Li Longji sighed.

"Sin is bowing, but it is too late to repent!"

After Guo Congjin heard Li Longji's sigh, he actually cried loudly, crying so sadly that everyone who heard it cried with Qi Ran.

After a long time, the monarch and the ministers cried, and Li Longji said to Guo Congjin again:

"Today's food is the bread of my father's house, and I will not eat it in vain, but should be exchanged for gold and silver. ”

Guo Congjin didn't refuse, but looked at Li Longji with tears in his eyes and ordered his subordinates to take out the gold and silver they were carrying and put them in one place.
