Chapter 1: The Runaway Prince
"You dog minions, what are you still doing in a daze? If you don't hurry up and pack up your things and take Your Highness to the car, if you delay the time, you dog minions will all die! ”
Just when Li Ye woke up, he heard a very sharp voice like a woman, which made Li Ye very strange, like a woman's voice, but it was just like, not it.
Just when he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on a wooden bed, and the location of this bed was also in a very strange building, very similar to the ancient palace, but it was different from the Ming and Qing palaces he usually saw.
"Lord Wang, our little ancestor, why are you still sleeping? What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and change the prince's clothes. ”
Just when Li Ye was stunned, a man with beardless lips and a very ancient hat came to the bed with a male duck voice in a panic, and when he saw Li Ye on the bed, he was not angry, so he threw the fire on the palace maid next to him.
Li Ye was confused at this time, is this making a movie? But that's all too true, isn't it? Don't have a video camera? and the father-in-law in front of him also acted very seriously, and those who didn't know thought he was really a eunuch. Although his mind was full of doubts at this time, he still put on his clothes with the help of several seductive women next to him, and then he was pulled outside by the father-in-law.
"Where is this going?"
Li Ye didn't know where this was, but seeing that the people around him were very nervous, he was a little puzzled, and the only thing he could ask at this time was the father-in-law in front of him.
"Little Ancestor, we're running for our lives. Huangchao's smuggler of salt came with hundreds of thousands of troops, and if we didn't escape, we would all be cut down by Huangchao's gang. The father-in-law next to him obviously hated Huang Chao and kept scolding each other.
"Yellow Nest? Illicit salt dealers? Hearing the two words, Li Ye was stunned, sure he wasn't joking?
Wasn't Huang Chao the leader of the peasant uprising in the last years of the Tang Dynasty? The other party is indeed a smuggler of salt. And the other party has a poem that is quite famous: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. This poem is called "Fu Ju after Budi", a poem written by Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.
"And what is my name?" Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help asking.
"Little Ancestor, when is this? You're still doing this boring thing, and it's okay to forget about it normally, but now you're in a hurry to run for your life! ”
"If you don't say it, I won't leave!" Li Ye wanted to confirm whether it was the end of the Tang Dynasty or not, and when he walked out of the room and found that the place where he lived was actually a palace, he was even more puzzled.
This father-in-law didn't expect Li Ye to make a mistake at this time, but thinking of time, he could only compromise and replied, "Little ancestor, you are His Royal Highness King Shou, the imperial brother of His Majesty today." ”
"I said what was my name?" Li Ye asked.
"Little ancestor, your surname is Li, and your single name is Jie. The little ancestor is really in a hurry, don't make a fuss, hurry up, while the others in Chang'an City don't know what's going on, if you don't leave, you really can't go. "There is no need for a father-in-law to plead.
Hearing that his name is Li Jie, he is still King Shou, and he is the half-brother of His Majesty today, he knows who he is and what is going on here. But now there was no time for him to think about it, so he was carried by his father-in-law into a beautifully decorated carriage.
"You won't follow."
"Father-in-law, let's go together, we really don't want to die, those rebels won't bypass us people."
"You dog minions, you have lived until now because the royal family has given you a gift, if you don't leave, don't blame our family for being polite."
Just as Li Ye sat down in the carriage, there was a scolding sound outside, and the owner of this voice was the father-in-law who didn't need to be just now, Li Ye could still distinguish it. He opened the curtain of the carriage very curiously, and saw that the father-in-law who was submissive in front of him just now seemed to be a different person at this time, extremely majestic, and the object of this father-in-law's reprimand was two palace maids, Li Ye remembered that these were two of the several palace maids who changed his clothes just now.
The two palace maids are not very old, and they are estimated to be in their teens, but if this is really the Tang Dynasty, they can get married and have children in their teens. Although the two palace maids are very small, they can be seen to be beautiful embryos, otherwise they would not have been selected as his personal palace maids. At this time, the two palace maids were kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly, but the father-in-law in front of them did not move.
"Come on, drag these two dog minions down. Your Highness is going to the palace, what are the two dog minions doing with you? ”
"Yes!"
The two guards in armor next to him stepped over, ready to drag the two palace maids away according to his father-in-law's order, but when he saw the two very poor palace maids, he thought of what it would mean for them to stay, so he spoke.
"Wait!" After seeing the two guards stop, Li Ye continued, "Take the two of them with you!" ”
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, the father-in-law next to him was very anxious, "Ouch, our little ancestor, two dog slaves, what is Your Highness doing?" We are going to flee, wouldn't it be troublesome to bring two palace maids? ”
"Don't forget you're a dog minion too." Li Ye said coldly, as soon as he finished speaking, the father-in-law's face was very ugly, cloudy and sunny for a while, but thinking of his identity, he endured it, and Li Ye continued, "Take them with you, I also need someone to serve me along the way, do you want to help me put on clothes?" ”
"Yes." The father-in-law hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, and then looked at the two palace maids with an unkind face, and said viciously, "Don't thank His Royal Highness King Shou?" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The two palace maids came back to their senses and hurriedly saluted Li Ye in the carriage, their eyes were full of gratitude, and they kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times, and the sound of their foreheads could be heard clearly by Li Ye.
"Get in the carriage, father-in-law, and you're ready to go!" After speaking, Li Ye lowered the curtain and sat in the dim carriage.
Soon he heard the sound of two men getting into the carriage, and at the command of his father-in-law, the carriage soon departed. At this time, the carriage did not have shock absorbers, and the road surface was not very flat, so the carriage was not as comfortable as imagined, but rickety and bumpy.
However, Li Ye didn't care about these at this time, but opened the curtains and looked at everything outside. The day was just dawn, and there were some pedestrians on the street outside, but not many, looking like Li Ye and his party who were rushing to reincarnate, many people came over, but they were soon busy with their own affairs.
The Chang'an City in front of him is not as prosperous as Li Ye imagined, but very shabby, and the clothes worn by pedestrians are also in tatters, not at all like the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
This is also normal, almost 130 years have passed since the prosperous Datang, and the powerful and prosperous Datang is long gone, and the current Datang is just a decaying high-rise building, and I don't know when it will collapse.
More than 100 years ago, the Anshi Rebellion was the turning point of the entire Tang Dynasty, since then the Tang Dynasty has changed from prosperity to decline, and then there has been no revival, although there were several Zhongxing in the middle, but it ended quickly, and during the current emperor and the previous emperor, the situation in the Tang Dynasty deteriorated in a straight line. The division of feudal towns and the dictatorship of eunuchs became the norm in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the once powerful Tang Dynasty army was gone, replaced by continuous civil wars, and the feudal towns fought each other for territory, and the central power could no longer control it.
In fact, it was not so exaggerated before Tang Xizong, but the Huangchao Rebellion that broke out during Tang Xizong's reign directly became the last straw for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty. After this turmoil, the central government, which had already lost control of the local government, did not take the imperial court seriously, and began to fight unscrupulously until the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye is currently facing the Huangchao Rebellion, if he guesses correctly, it should be that Huangchao has broken through Tongguan and is coming towards Chang'an, and Tang Xizong, who learned the news, that is, Li Ye's brother, is not thinking about how to retreat from the enemy, but learning from his ancestor Tang Xuanzong to escape to Sichuan.
That's right, Tang Xizong Li Yi is Li Ye's brother, and Li Ye is the penultimate emperor of the Tang Dynasty in history, Tang Zhaozong Li Ye. However, at this time, Tang Zhaozong was not called Li Ye, but Li Jie, who was named King Shou in his early years, and Li Ye was his name changed after he ascended the throne
If Li Ye has no ambitions, after his brother Li Yi dies, he can become the emperor and live the emperor's addiction, but he is not without ambitions.
Just when Li Ye was thinking nonsense in the car, the carriage stopped, and the male duck voice of the father-in-law outside sounded again, "Your Highness, we have arrived." ”
