Chapter 3: The Ridiculous Emperor (2nd Update)
"Father, we've all gone so far, the rebels shouldn't be able to catch up! I'm tired and don't want to go! ”
In Jingzhao Mansion, in Xianyang County, a group of nearly ten carriages, escorted by hundreds of cavalry of the Shence Army, was rapidly advancing westward on the official road. After a disgruntled sound from the most luxurious carriage in it, the whole procession stopped.
This group of people is the hurried escape of the Emperor Li Yi and his party, Li Yi from the age of 12 to the present, pampered since childhood, although good at riding and shooting, but early in the morning in a carriage to drive for two or three hours, his bones are about to toss apart, no energy at all, so he wants to stop and not go.
"Your Majesty, the rebels can chase after us at any time, we must hurry as soon as possible and strive to reach Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible." Tian Lingzi came to Li Yi's carriage and persuaded him bitterly.
It is only 50 miles away from Chang'an, and if the rebels have cavalry, they can catch up in half a day, so it is not safe.
"Father, how can the rebels be so fast, let's rest for a while before we set off. Don't object, I'm the emperor, and you must obey what you really say. "Li Yi, who didn't want to continue on his way, took out his 'majesty' as an emperor at this time.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tian Lingzi frowned, looking at Li Yi, who was a man, and could only let the other party go, "Pass the order, get off the horse and rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, continue to hurry." ”
With Tian Lingzi's order, the people in several carriages came down, including Li Ye. As for the hundreds of Shence soldiers, they also dismounted according to the order, dispersed, and stood guard all around, especially in the direction of Chang'an.
"Father-in-law Zhang, go to the woods and change your clothes, you smell of urine." After getting out of the carriage, looking at his father-in-law who was coming towards him, Li Ye couldn't help but cover his nose and command.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The father-in-law was also a little embarrassed on his face, in front of the palace, thinking that he was going to be executed, he was timid and scared on the spot. Later, he kept hurrying, and he didn't have time to change, and now there was indeed a smell. After receiving Li Ye's instructions, his father-in-law hurriedly came to his horse's side, picked up a burden on it, and walked towards the woods next to him.
And when Li Ye wanted to take a look at the surrounding situation, Li Yi called him over. Li Yi and his entourage brought four clans, namely King Fu, King Shou, King Ze and King Mu: King Fu and King Ze are the two clans that have a better relationship with Li Yu, plus Li Yu, they are all good at playing polo; King Shou is Li Ye, and King Mu is called Li Yi.
At present, Li Yi is still alive with three brothers, namely Li Bao, the king of Ji, and the six princes of Tang Yizong; Shouwang Li Ye (now called Li Jie), the seventh prince of Tang Yizong; Li Yi, the king of Mu, the eighth prince of Tang Yizong. And Li Yi is the fifth prince of Tang Yizong.
Li Yi also had four brothers, but they either died of illness or were killed by eunuchs, and these four people were left. However, among the remaining three brothers, Li Yu didn't like Li Bao, the king of Ji, because the other party threatened him, so he didn't notify the other party of this escape. Because King Shou and King Mu are young, Li Yi, as his elder brother, naturally has to take care of him.
"Brother Huang!"
Coming to Li Yi, Li Ye saluted slightly, he didn't know much about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, but he did what he did when he saw what others did.
"King Shou, you and I are brothers, so you don't need to make this big gift." Li Yi's face pretended to be displeased, but he didn't mean to blame.
"Brother Xie Huang!"
After speaking, Li Ye came to the side of the stool and sat down. At this time, Li Yi and several clans were sitting together, Li Yi and King Fu and King Ze all brought their families, and Li Ye and King Mu did not accept a concubine for the time being because they were young.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's backache is dead, won't we go in Xianyang?"
"Your Majesty, can we not go to Chengdu? That's too far, and the concubine can't stand the toss of this mountain road. ”
As soon as Li Ye sat down, a coquettish sound came, and he saw a woman in palace clothes holding the imperial brother's arm with both hands, pressing it tightly against her chest, and rubbing each other with her proud twin peaks. Li Yi is also a normal man, and the clothes of women in the Tang Dynasty are hot even in the eyes of modern Li Ye. Being teased by the woman next to him, Li Yi couldn't help it, if he hadn't seen other people around, he would have messed around like he was in the palace.
Seeing that the woman next to him was openly teasing His Majesty, the woman in palace clothes on the other side of Li Yu was not to be outdone, so in the process of fleeing, Li Yu also enjoyed the blessings of Qi people. was pinched left and right, Li Yi couldn't help it, his hands began to move, walking up and down the two of them, and even reached through the neckline of one of them, making the woman moan continuously.
Seeing the prospect, Li Ye turned his head sideways, just in time to meet the sight of Li Yi, the king of harmony next to him, it seems that the other party can't stand this kind of scene. However, King Fu and King Ze did not avoid it, but watched it with interest, and then put their hands on the concubines beside them.
These two palace women are Li Yi's concubines, one is Jieyu and the other is Zhaoyi, and they are also deeply loved by Li Yi, otherwise they would not have fled with these two concubines. At this time, Li Yi has no heirs, no queen, not even a concubine, as for the reason, Li Ye is not very clear, after all, he has just come to this time and space for half a day.
Seeing this situation, Li Ye sighed in his heart. As the king of a country, when fleeing, he still disregards the occasion and seeks pleasure so much, can Datang not die?
During the reign of Tang Xuanzong Li Chen, the Tang Dynasty faintly had the signs of Zhongxing and was known as the 'rule of Dazhong'; but Tang Yizong, who succeeded to the throne, was a typical faint monarch, who lost the achievements of the 'rule of Dazhong', and then the situation was turbulent; Li Yi, who succeeded to the throne, that is, Tang Xizong in front of him, was even more wonderful, only knew how to play polo and ignored national affairs, resulting in the Huangchao Rebellion. Historically, Tang Zhaozong Li Ye also thought about changing the situation, but the strength of the local feudal towns was too strong, and many of his subordinates were opposed, and several efforts finally failed, and became the pawns of several feudal towns, and since then the Tang Dynasty has no hope of revival.
Since he has crossed back by himself, can't he change all this? The reason why Li Ye was able to succeed to the emperor in history was not because of how capable he was, you must know that when Li Yi was critically ill, the ministers all thought that Li Bao, the king of Ji, was more suitable to serve as the heir. The reason why Li Ye succeeded in the end was because of the support of the eunuch Yang Fugong.
Do you really want to succeed to the throne by the power of eunuchs? As a day when Datang is in the hands of the Tang Sect, it will be even more dilapidated, as a Datang clan, he naturally doesn't want to see Datang defeated by his cheap brother. Or can you take the throne yourself? However, this also requires military power and a certain amount of influence in the DPRK, otherwise it will be very difficult to seize power.
When it comes to military power, this is also a headache. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the unification of the Song Dynasty, rebellions came one after another, and yesterday you were still a powerful figure, maybe today your subordinates will rebel against you and take your position. Such a situation was very common in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history, and rebellions became commonplace.
As for what Li Ye was thinking, Li Yi, who was playing with his concubine, naturally didn't know. If he knew, he wouldn't be so good to Li Ye, but would find a way to get rid of this imperial brother.
"King Shou, what do you think of these two imperial sisters-in-law?" Just when Li Ye was thinking about something, he suddenly heard Li Yi ask.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at the two palace women in front of him, and then quickly lowered his head, "The two imperial sisters-in-law are as beautiful as immortals, and only the imperial brother can have them." ”
"Haha!" Li Yi laughed and said, very satisfied with Li Ye's answer, "King Shou, you are also 15 years old this year, right?" ”
"Brother Hui, the younger brother is 15 years old this year." Li Ye didn't understand why the other party asked this, so he could only answer carefully.
"Well, 15 is not too small, it's time to find a princess. Father! ”
"The old slave is here!"
"Among the envoys and ministers of the DPRK and China, are there any unmarried women of appropriate age? King Shou is not too young, and he should also find a princess for him, so as not to make King Shou too lonely. Li Yi said with a smile, obviously not as an escape, but as a play.
"Back to Your Majesty, this needs to be inquired by the old slave." Tian Lingzi replied respectfully, and glanced at Li Ye, it seems that the Shouwang in front of him is quite liked by His Majesty.
"Yes. This matter will be handed over to you, father, you must find a beautiful princess Shou for King Shou, as a prince, you can't compromise. Li Yi said very proudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After instructing Tian Lingzi, Li Yi said to Li Ye, "King Shou, your two palace maids are good, it seems that I rewarded you at the beginning." Before you find a suitable princess, you can eat them. Of course, if you think your two imperial sisters-in-law are good, which one do you like, you can really give her to you. ”
Looking at Li Yi's obscene expression, then looking at the pale faces of the two concubines next to him, and finally looking at the two palace maids resting by the carriage in the distance, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. When he was about to turn back, he suddenly saw more than a dozen Shence Army soldiers gathered together, and then took advantage of the fact that the others were not paying attention, and walked towards his location, without the slightest respect on his face, but fanatical.
Seeing this, Li Ye 'chuckled' in his heart, thinking, his luck won't be so bad.
