On the bridge, a carriage stood alone, it was the carriage of the emperor Li Yan and the queen, and the prince, even the accompanying servant Tian Lingzi, the wife of General Qianniuwei, and the actual commander Liu Ruyan and others at this time were all living under the bridge, quietly watching Li Yan who was holding the prince and holding the queen in the carriage.

The Chang'an City behind him could only see a faint silhouette, lying on the ground like a giant beast. The row of lanterns lit on the high city gate tower was also like stars far away in the sky, flickering faintly.

Li Yan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Father, where are we going?" The crown prince Li Ke, who had just turned seven, looked at his father and mother who were silently crying, and couldn't help but ask timidly.

"Ke'er, anti-thieves are in trouble, and the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, this time we are hunting in the north, and we are going to find our most capable general." Li Yan said softly. "Then the general will lead the troops and destroy the traitors."

"Father, can't we hold Chang'an?" Li Ke couldn't help but ask.

Li Yan said sadly: "Yes, we can't hold it." Luoyang has been lost, and it is only a matter of time before Chang'an is lost. ”

"Then why didn't the most capable general come back with his troops to rescue?" Li Ke then asked.

"Because the general is still far away from us, and there are traitors in the middle, and the general is still exterminating another group of traitors for the imperial court, and there is no doppelganger." Li Yan explained.

Li Ke looked up at Li Yan and asked puzzledly, "Father, why are there so many traitors?" ”

Li Yan was speechless, and only after a long time did he say: "It was my father's immorality and failure to govern the country well." Ke'er must study hard and learn skills, so that he can prosper Datang in the future and let my Datang prosper forever. ”

"My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is the time to make great achievements." Li Ke said in a milky voice: "With my father here, Ke'er doesn't need to worry." Father, we are just leaving for a while, it's like going to visit relatives, and we will be back after a long time! Don't be sad for your father, and don't be sad for your mother. ”

Listening to Li Ke's innocent words, Li Yan's heart was like a knife, and the queen cried even more.

This trip to the north hunting, there is no need to say much about the difficulties and obstacles, but even if he arrives in Wuyi, it is just Gou An for the time being, can Li Ze really lead his Wuwei army all the way back to Chang'an? Li Yan didn't know.

But now, he has no one to rely on, except for Li Ze.

"It's time for us to go." Liu Ruyan glanced at Tian Lingzi beside him, and said in a low voice: "Please also ask the Lord to persuade the emperor!" ”

Tian Lingzi nodded, and hit the Baqiao on the horse.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to go."

"It's time to go, it's time to go." Li Yan pushed his son into the carriage and motioned for the queen to enter the carriage as well, but he was still looking at Chang'an City in the distance stupidly.

Tian Lingzi was a little horrified to see that there were wisps of blood flowing down the corners of the emperor's mouth.

At this time, Li Yan abandoned all the emperor's honor guards, and only brought more than 100 guards with him, and even the eunuchs and palace maids only brought a few close people, among the ministers, except for the servant Zhongtian Lingzi, the rest, except for Zhongshu Ling Wang Shu, Shangshu Ling Chen Bi, Zuo Servant Wang Duo and others who knew the inside story, the rest of the civil and military officials did not even know that the emperor had run away.

And Qin Zhao, the general of Zuo Wuwei, had already arrived at Tongguan with thousands of yuan from the Praetorian Guard in the name of resisting the traitors, where was waiting for the emperor and his party.

The ministers in Chang'an will do their best to conceal the news of the emperor's departure, and in Chang'an City, the operation of preparing to resist the attack of the anti-thieves is still being held in an orderly manner under the auspices of several ministers. When the Qianniuwei army left the city, the people of Chang'an were only regarded as the same as Qin Zhao, and went to Tongguan to defend against the traitors.

Because Tongguan is already the last line of defense in Chang'an City.

At the beginning of June, the army left Tongguan.

At Tongguan, the army of Qianniuwei did not stop at all, and went straight out of the pass, and then crossed the Yellow River and headed towards Zhaoyi. But Qin Zhao still stayed in Tongguan and did not leave, and he would continue to stay in Tongguan to confuse the Xuanwu army.

If he carried thousands of yuan from the Praetorian Guard and followed the Qianniuwei at this time, he would inevitably be completely exposed. For this fleeing team, if they can hide it for a day, they will have an extra day away from the main force of the Xuanwu Army.

At this time, in the Acropolis, Xuanwu Zhu Wen, who had completely annihilated King Fu's army, with his main force, had crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin and set foot on the boundary of Luoyang.

Moved his fat body with some difficulty and got off the boat, and there was already a luxurious carriage to meet him, the carriage had no roof, Zhu Wen sat on it with satisfaction, surrounded by civil and military officials, and Zhu Youzhen, who had led the main cavalry force to Luoyang one step earlier, was fully armed and accompanied by the side.

"How is Luoyang doing now?" Zhu Wen asked.

"Back to the festival, the overall situation in Luoyang is quite stable." Zhu Youzhen smiled, and said proudly: "Fuwang Li Xin, don't drive Niu Furen to die in Weizhou, Changshi Pei Ju is in the Hedong Army, Luoyang is up and down, the dragons have no leader, we arranged the internal response in the early years, at this time it played a key role, the general of the Navy Ge Fan himself is a big family in Luoyang, and he has been in Luoyang for a long time and is quite influential, he led the overall surrender of the troops, which also played a great role in our rapid crossing of the river and stabilizing the situation in Luoyang. It won't take a few days to settle down one by one. ”

Zhu Wen nodded with satisfaction: "Luoyang is the center of the world's trough transportation, and if the trough is passed, Luoyang is rich and Chang'an is sufficient, if we can ensure prosperity here as before, it will be of great benefit to our next things." For those who submit to us and help us stabilize the situation in Luoyang, we must greatly praise them, and let everyone see that submitting to us will only have great benefits, and there will be no harm. ”

"Yes." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Jieshuai, the reward of ordinary people, subordinates can do it, but people like Ge Fan still have to come forward in person." ”

"Nature." Zhu Wen looked around with a smile: "Where is Ge Fan?" ”

Outside the crowd, Ge Fan answered loudly: "My subordinates are here." ”

"Come here, come here." Zhu Wen laughed and beckoned, watching Ge Fan squeeze in from the periphery and bow down in front of his carriage.

"General Ge has made great contributions, and meritorious service should be rewarded, from now on, you will be the commander of Luoyang, and all matters in Luoyang will be controlled and punished by you."

Ge Fan was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, Luoyang commanded this position, but in the past, only people with the status of King Fu could live on it, and he was still a few steps away from this position, but now, he got it without much effort.

"Xie Jieshuai's great grace. The subordinates will definitely do their best and die. ”

"Well, very good, Luoyang's status, I don't need to say more, how to ensure that Luoyang is not affected by this war and still maintains his position as the center of wealth in the world, is what you have to consider." Zhu Wen said: "Do you understand what I mean? You are originally from the Luoyang clan, and it is not difficult to do this. ”

"My subordinates must ensure that Luoyang is safe and smooth!" Ge Fan said loudly.

"Okay, let's go to Luoyang!" Zhu Wen laughed and waved his hand, and the carriage started slowly, heading in the direction of Luoyang City. However, this time, Zhu Youzhen was on the left, and Ge Fan, who could only be on the periphery before, crossed those old ministers of Xuanwu and lived on the right side of Zhu Wen's carriage in a grand manner.

At noon, Zhu Wen had already arrived at the outer city of Luoyang Ziwei Palace, stood up from the carriage, held on to the railing in front of him, and looked at the Ziwei Palace shining in the sun, Zhu Wen laughed loudly.

"In the world, there are capable people living in it!"

"In the world, there is a place of virtue."

"Tang lost his morality, all to this day."

"I, Juwen, am here."

Under the Ziwei Palace, Zhu Wen stood on top of the carriage, stretched out his hands, and laughed loudly.

Above and below the city, countless soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted long live.

The carriage started slowly and headed down the gate towards the palace.

As soon as he rode from afar, he caught up with the brigade in a moment, and under the guidance of an officer, someone came to see Zhu Youzhen.

"General Zhu, there is intelligence in Chang'an, and the 5,000 people under General Qianniuwei stationed in Chang'an left Chang'an a few days ago, and now they have crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Zhaoyi."

Zhu Youzhen was stunned, when she found Zhu Wen, who was proudly driving slowly on the avenue in the palace.

"All the five thousand men and horses of Qianniuwei have run away?" Zhu Wen smiled: "Okay, even if I give Li Ze a face, I won't send someone to chase it, but in Zhaoyi, we still have nearly 100,000 horses stationed, if they want to have this ability, they will go through, if they don't have this ability, my generals will invite his wife, son, and mother back, then it's no wonder I'm not surprised, hahaha." ”

"Understood." Zhu Youzhen also smiled: "But my son still thinks that it is best to take them down, if he can hold Li Ze's relatives in his hands, he will not be afraid of any big waves in the future." The son sent a message to Zhaoyi to encircle and suppress this army and horses. But with only 5,000 people, even if the whole body is iron, how many nails can be hit? ”

Zhu Wen waved his hand noncommittally and motioned for Zhu Youzhen to deal with the matter herself. At this moment, his mind is all on the glorious and magnificent palace in front of him, well, by the way, there are also those flower-like concubines of the blessed king Li Xin.

Listening to Ge Fan, after the news of King Fu's death reached Luoyang, even if his princess hanged herself, her heirs fled to Chang'an, but his side concubines and concubines were all captured by Xuanwu Army and are now under house arrest in the palace. Zhu Wen couldn't wait to see the warm fragrance of these nephrites.

Doing things is doing things, but when it's time to enjoy it, you should also enjoy it to the fullest.
