Chapter 2 Unbearable Tang Emperor

Palace.

Tai Chi Temple.

As the administrative center of the Tang Empire, the top position has been empty for half a month.

It is the good old man in the political arena who presides over the government, and the evergreen tree in the temple is Qianyao.

Pei Min and Li Yi, the two auxiliary ministers, one is far away in the West, and the other has been killed. And Zhang Jiuling's qualifications are obviously not enough to shake the scene, and Yuan Qianyao, as the prime minister, naturally stood up.

However, Yuan Qianyao's role is still only to play a leading role, and Zhang Jiuling and Song Jing are still the first in government affairs.

The atmosphere in the temple was a little depressing, Li Yan's talent, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew it, and the officials did not expect much from him.

But as the emperor of the Tang Empire and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, his existence, even if he doesn't speak and is dumb, can have a calming effect.

Now this backbone has disappeared for half a month, and it is no wonder that the atmosphere in the temple is depressed.

This time, the pilgrimage was dispersed in a hurry as always......

Where is Li Yan?

At this moment, the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire was drunk in the broad daylight, and fell drunkly into the arms of his beloved concubine: Concubine Ji, drunk and dreaming of death.

This emperor of the Tang Empire did not have the talent of an emperor from the beginning, and it was a stroke of luck that he was able to become the crown prince.

Li Longji's queen has no children under her knees, so there is no such thing as primogeniture. At the same time, because of Li Shimin's relationship, the Tang Dynasty did not attach importance to this aspect.

Under the influence of Pei Min, Li Longji skipped Li Heng and chose Li Yan.

In fact, Li Longji did not train Li Yan as a prince at all, nor did he think that he would take over the world of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that the East Palace can't be left without an owner, and a safe person is needed to delay the furnishings.

Li Longji's real idea was to wait for himself to be old, and then choose a talented and strategic one from among the sons to take over the throne.

This can perfectly avoid the threat to his throne, Li Longji has experienced three palace coups, and he is particularly afraid of this aspect.

Li Yan became the crown prince under this circumstance, and he, the emperor, should also be very comfortable. With Pei Min here, he doesn't need to deal with big and small things, he just needs to enjoy the feeling of the emperor being on top.

Obviously, this idea is naΓ―ve and stupid.

With great power comes great responsibility.

When the Northeast incident happened, Li Yan was powerless to deal with it, he could only choose to listen to his cronies, and as a result, things got worse and worse, and the pressure became more and more intense.

Li Yan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to one bad news after another, and when the six gods were ownerless, he knew that the emperor was not so easy to be a man, and he could not be dealt with by eating, drinking, and enjoying the attention of all people.

When the civil and military officials asked for his opinion, Li Yan only felt that the eyes of each of them were so dazzling, as if everyone was laughing at his incompetence.

The worse the situation, the greater the pressure on Li Yan, and in the end he chose to be an ostrich, shrinking himself in the sand, ignoring it, and not even going to the early dynasty.

The drunk and confused stared, and Li Yan woke people up.

"Who, don't bother me if it's okay!"

Li Yan complained, opened his eyes, and saw that it was his henchman Li Jingzhong, and said vaguely: "What's wrong?" Doesn't it mean that if there is nothing to do, don't bother me? Could it be that there is news from my brother-in-law? He was shocked and looked at Li Jingzhong with expectation.

The situation in the east became a mess, and the rebels directly captured Hebei, and even hit Luoyang.

Li Yan had already regarded Pei Min as a lifesaver, and he wrote no less than five letters asking for help.

Li Jingzhong sneered in his heart, all the letters for help were burned by him, where would there be reinforcements coming, but he said humbly: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away from our Chang'an, and the far water can't save the near fire, even if the county king puts on his wings, it's too late!" It was King Chung who came, and King Chung was waiting outside the house. ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Quick, quickly invite the third brother in." ”

Li Yan's biggest point is that he is real, whoever is good to him, he will believe whomever he wants.

At this critical juncture, the civil and military officials are forcing him one by one, letting him make decisions, and letting him make up his mind. Only Li Heng, the silent supporter of this brother, comforted him and even gave him ideas behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty!" Li Heng's expression was a little frightened, and he said straight to the point: "Tongguan may not be able to hold it......"

Rumble!

This news is not easy to thunderbolt from the blue, Li Yan said at a loss: "How is it possible? How so? Wang Xiang and Du Xiang did not say that Tongguan was the first danger in Jin, and the throat of the four towns had the reputation of one hundred and two passes, and the rebels could not take a step beyond the thunder pool. It's only been a long time, Tongguan ...... Tongguan can't be held? Tongguan is only three or five days away from Chang'an, so isn't it to come to the city? ”

"This ......"

"Third, third brother, how is this good...... I, I don't want to die yet. ”

In addition to this panic, his speech was a little unfavorable, and his brain was confused.

Li Jingzhong fanned the flames next to him and said: "Wang Hui and Du Xian are all vain people, so they know how much they can say big things, and as soon as they fight with thieves, how much ability will be revealed." It is not uncommon for those who have lost one, lost two and lost three times to be unable to hold Tongguan. ”

Li Heng looked at Li Yan, who was already dead, with disdain in his heart, and said secretly: "This is the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven elected by his father?" Where is my ...... in case?"

He said earnestly: "The soldiers in Chang'an City have been abandoned for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of the rebels. As soon as the rebels arrived in the city, the situation became even more critical. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the rebels have not arrived, and His Majesty will withdraw from Chang'an first and move elsewhere to protect everything. ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, go to Longyou, go to Hexi, go to my brother-in-law, with my brother-in-law, the little rebel army must not be a problem." ”

When Li Heng heard this, Li Yan was still thinking about Pei Min, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Li Jingzhong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the king of the county has brought most of the soldiers and horses from Hexi and Longyou on this expedition to the west. If you go to Longyou and Hexi, there is no soldier to protect it, which is just as dangerous. ”

Li Yan said in fear: "Where can I go?" After a pause, he suddenly took Li Heng's hand and said, "Shudi?" Shu Road is difficult to walk, but it is a good place. ”

Li Heng gently patted Li Yan's hand and said: "It's better to go to Shuofang than to Shudi, Your Majesty, the reason why the rebels are so strong is because of the border army, which has experienced a hundred battles." The Shuofang army has been in battle for a long time, and its strength is strong enough to protect His Majesty's comfort. Moreover, His Majesty went to Shuofang, not to take refuge, but to recruit Shuofang's troops to fight the rebels to the death. This will not detract from the majesty of His Majesty. ”

Li Yan shouted with great joy: "It's still the third brother's thoughtfulness, I went to Shuofang not because I was afraid of the rebels, but for the final victory." ”

Finding a reason for himself, Li Yan couldn't wait to say: "How long can Tongguan last, and when will we leave?" ”

Li Jingzhong said respectfully: "The old slave here will arrange it by himself, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Li Heng didn't say a word, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
