Chapter 498: Jingyuan Mutiny (Medium)

Li Shi immediately issued an order, ordering Jingzhao Yin Wang Hong to quickly bring wine and meat to reward the Jingyuan army outside the city, at this time 20,000 Jingyuan troops occupied a temporary military camp outside the east city, the soldiers marched all the way, the dry food has been eaten, hungry and tired, and want to get back their own soldiers, everyone is very anxious, resentment and dissatisfaction quickly accumulate in their hearts.

At this time, dozens of ox carts drove into the barracks, wooden barrels were placed on the carts, and the soldiers who had been hungry gathered around one after another, and an official said in a loud voice: "This is dinner for everyone, it's too late to make it, everyone will fill their stomachs first, and tomorrow we will bring you some good food." ”

The barrel was full of gruel, uncooked, so light that it couldn't even be talked about as rice soup, and the half-cooked raw rice sank to the bottom of the barrel, and only a thin layer was laid.

There are also dough cakes in the basket next to them, many soldiers go to grab the dough cakes, just take a bite and throw the dough cakes on the ground, scolding, although the weather is hot, easy to spoil, but these dough cakes do not know how long they have been placed, they are all moldy, exuding a disgusting rancid smell.

Wang Hong ordered the officials to prepare dinner for the soldiers, but the following were not paid for several months, and they were disgruntled, so they specially looked for rotten food to cope with the errands, so as to vent their dissatisfaction.

The 20,000 soldiers were immediately furious, and at this time, more than a dozen generals took the opportunity to fan the flames and shouted: "The emperor will eat our family's money and food in one meal, and let us sell our lives, brothers, there are countless money in the two treasure houses of Qionglin and Daying, it is all our money, the emperor will not give it, we will take it ourselves!" ”

The soldiers were so excited that they slashed to death the officials who delivered the food, and Wang Lianen raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me into the city!" ”

The eyes of the 20,000 soldiers were red, and the rebellious mood was completely mobilized, and they shouted and killed at the Chunming Gate, which was two miles away.

More than 100 samurai who were ambushed in the Chunming Gate, under the leadership of Ying Caihe, raided the soldiers defending the city, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were killed and fled in all directions, and the samurai of the Hidden Sword Pavilion took the opportunity to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.

20,000 soldiers of the Jingyuan Army successfully entered Chang'an City, and under the leadership of Wang Lianen, they rushed straight to the palace, and their target was the two treasury of Qionglin and Daying, both in the palace.

At this time, Li Shi had just fallen asleep, and a general guarding the palace ran to report in a panic: "Your Majesty, the Jingyuan army has rebelled and has entered the city!" ”

Li Shi was so frightened that he rolled out of bed, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, and ran out of the palace and shouted: "Who is on duty today, hurry up and appease them, spread my will, and reward them with a million yuan!" ”

He was not confused, he knew that it must be the soldiers who did not have a good fortune and mutinied.

Thinking about it, the copper money is too heavy to move at all, so he still has to give them the money first, he hurriedly shouted to the eunuch: "Go to Qionglin Treasury to get a hundred carts of gold silk, go quickly!" ”

More than a dozen eunuchs rushed away, at this time, I saw Xiangguo Lu Qi running in a panic, tonight happened to be him on duty, he shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, it's too late, the rebels have broken the Danfeng Gate and entered the palace, Your Majesty quickly flee from the north!" ”

Li Shi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Go and call the queen and princesses up, and run for your life!" ”

He shouted to several eunuchs again: "Hurry up and pick up the prince from the East Palace!" ”

Li Shi's crown prince Li Yu is the eldest son born to Queen Wang, his health is not very good, and his personality is relatively cowardly, he is twenty years old this year and has been living in the East Palace.

At this time, he had just fallen asleep, and before he could fall asleep, he heard a guard outside asking, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me!"

"Ahh It was Deputy Chief Manager Li who came. ”

Li Man appeared at the door and said to several eunuchs and palace maids: "Please get up quickly, there is a mutiny outside, follow me to hide." ”

Li Yu hurriedly woke up the crown princess Cui, and the two of them put on their clothes and came out, Li Yu asked nervously: "Deputy Chief, where is the mutiny?" ”

"It's the Jingyuan army mutiny, they have already entered the palace, Your Highness hurry up and follow me, otherwise it will be too late."

Li Man had already prepared a carriage, Li Yu and his wife had no doubts, and hurriedly picked up their two-year-old son Li Chun, and the family of three boarded the carriage, Li Man ordered the female guards to get the prince's seal, and dozens of female guards of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion rode horses around the carriage and drove towards the Taiji Palace.

Not long after the prince left, several eunuchs rushed over and shouted, "The saint asked the prince to hurry up to Xuanwu Gate!" ”

Several guards said, "Deputy Chief Manager Li has left to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Several eunuchs were stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran back to report.

At this time, Li Shi, the son of heaven, waited in front of the Xuanwu Gate in a few carriages, he took more than a dozen imperial concubines and several sons and princesses, and sent the prince's family.

Several eunuchs rushed over and shouted from afar, "Your Majesty, the Lord of the Li Pavilion has already left to protect the crown prince. ”

The crown prince was escorted away by Li Man, Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Get out of the palace!" ”

The vehicle drove outside the palace and fled west without a clue, and the Jingyuan army entered Chang'an from the east, and they could only flee for their lives to the west.

Escaped for more than ten miles in one breath, came to a fork in the road, the carriage slowly stopped, to the north is the Wei River, can not go, can only go west or south, Li Shi only then found that most of the hundreds of guards who originally protected him were gone, only a dozen guards remained, and then there were more than a hundred eunuchs running to follow, and Xiangguo Lu Qi also rode a horse to follow.

Li Shi suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying, his Qionglin Library and Daying Library were finished.

Lu Qi hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is an emergency, it will definitely be resolved by compromise, and it is important for Your Majesty to keep the dragon body." ”

Li Shi wiped away tears and asked, "There are chaotic soldiers everywhere, where should I go?" ”

Lu Qi thought for a while and said: "The rebels will definitely think that Your Majesty is fleeing west, so Your Majesty will simply go south, Weichen suggests going to Ju County, Ju County is very close to the Meridian Valley, if the thieves chase after us, we can also go south to Hanzhong for refuge." ”

In a hurry, Li Shi had no idea, what Lu Qi said was what he said, he hurriedly ordered: "Listen to Lu Xiangguo, go to Ju County!" ”

The team turned south and left, Lu Qi also felt a little remorseful in his heart, he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, once Zhu Zhu caught up with the Son of Heaven, he couldn't survive, he urgently ordered a few guards to rush to Bashang, and summoned 20,000 gods to rescue the driver in Ju County.

.........

At this time, there was chaos in the palace, the guards were usually pampered, most of them were embroidered pillows, where did they dare to confront the red-eyed Jingyuan army, after being slashed and killed by the chaotic army, the guards were so frightened that they lost their armor and fled home, and the palace maids and eunuchs hid in Tibet, and most of them fled to the Taiji Palace.

The rebels didn't care about them, they targeted the two treasure troves of Qionglin and Daying, the door of the treasure house was finally smashed open, and it was full of golden treasures, gold and silver, and the rebels cheered and rushed in.........

The leader of the rebels, Wang Lian'en, led a thousand cavalry out of the Xuanwu Gate and pursued the convoy of the Son of Heaven, but they made a mistake when they came to the fork in the road, it was too dark, and the horsemen did not see the chariot on the ground retreating, and chased directly to the west, and Li Shi escaped.

There was chaos in Chang'an City, and the soldiers who robbed the palace were ferocious and began to loot the mansions of the wealthy and powerful in the city.

Before dawn, Yao Lingyan and dozens of important ministers of the imperial court came to Zhu Jun to preside over the overall situation and stop the crazy looting of the Jingyuan army.

After inviting three times in a row, Zhu Jun reluctantly left the house and said to a group of officials: "I am loyal to the Son of Heaven, it stands to reason that I should avoid suspicion, and it has nothing to do with these rebels, but now the top priority is to stabilize the situation, I can only come forward to restrain the soldiers and invite the Son of Heaven back!" ”

The ministers were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, their mansions were all in chaos, and if they cleaned up the chaos, the whole family would be killed by the chaos.

"Zhu Gong don't shirk, hurry up and call the soldiers! The capital is in chaos. ”

Zhu Jun asked people to take the armor and put it on, he pulled out his sword and said murderously: "Order the generals of all armies to restrain the soldiers immediately, and those who refuse to obey the order will be killed!" ”

It wasn't until dawn that the looting in Chang'an gradually stopped, and this night, more than 300 households were robbed of the mansions of the magnates in Chang'an, countless people were killed, and countless women in the mansions of the magnates were ruined by the chaos.

At this time, another 30,000 Fengxiang army loyal to Zhu Zhu, under the leadership of Fengxiang's soldier and horse envoy Li Chulin, was hurrying towards Chang'an.
