"These troops have entered the province of Toki, and those who are ready to respond to the Central Plains and protect Caoyun should not be easily mobilized. Speaking of Cao Yun, why hasn't the wealth of the southeast of Jianghuai been shipped yet! When the Emperor said this, he was very anxious.

This batch of two taxes is now the life-saving money of the imperial court.

However, there was no news from Bao Ji's side.

It is said that it was caused by entering the Feng boat and being inexplicably blocked by Chen Shaoyou in Huainan.

Now that Li Xilie is rebellious, Chen Shaoyou and Han Yun's attitudes are also ambiguous, the emperor is like an ant on a hot pot, and he can't help but regret it, if Liu Yan still holds the power, why is this? In desperation, he said to Lu Qi: "There should still be a batch of cloth and silk in the Zuozang Treasury, take them all out, and let Jing Zhaoyin send them to Li Huaiguang's department." ”

In Fuping County, Li Huaiguang alone gathered all the generals of the Changwu Army and openly said to them: "I know that you have complaints, and I also have them in my heart!" We come from all over the world, all ethnic groups in the Tibetan and Han dynasties, as soldiers to fight, sacrifice life and forget death, just to want the family to eat and wear, but today's son is deceived by traitors, driving us to fight one after another, so far the equipment and funeral expenses have not been issued to us, let alone rewards. Now that there is no money, no food and no cloth, he asked us to rush to Lantian to fight with Li Xilie in Huaixi, and everyone said that you are unwilling or unwilling! ”

"Unwilling!" More than 10,000 soldiers of Changwu City let out an earth-shattering roar, and the resentment that had accumulated for a long time completely exploded.

"I am the commander of the whole army, and I can't escape the blame when I see my children like this, so I Li Huaiguang is going to take everyone to the Zhongwei Bridge in the capital today, no, I have to divide my troops to go to the East Weiqiao, what to do? Admonish the saints in the palace in the city, if the saints are still bewitched by traitors, then we will occupy the Dongwei Bridge and take the wealth gathered by the world and hoarded there. ”

"Listen to the general!" Countless pairs of arms raised.

In the tent of the Shence military camp next to him, Daxi Xiaojun, a general under Li Huaiguang, carried a blood-dripping sword, carried the heads of Yang Huiyuan and Zhang Juji, walked out of the tent, and then held the head high in the sun, and the blood in the cavity was still dripping down.

Seeing the 4,000 divine soldiers at the head of the general, they were all so frightened that they knelt down and shouted in unison to surrender.

"Don't be alarmed, we are waiting for the army, but for the side of the Qing monarch and the traitorous ministers, as long as Your Majesty is willing to go out of the palace to reply, we swear not to move a single grass and tree in Chang'an City!"

In Li Huaiguang's tent, the judge Gao Ying, the grain envoy Cui Zong, and the military envoy Zhai Wenxiu were all squatting together, surrounded by Changwu soldiers with sharp blades, and then the heads of Yang Huiyuan and Zhang Juji were thrown in from the outside.

"Li Huaiguang, you bastard, confused!" Gao Ying shouted angrily, he knew that Li Huaiguang was going to do something that he couldn't turn back.

"The high judge is angry, I have to wait for it." The soldiers in the tent shouted, and Qi Qi bowed to Gao Ying and apologized.

Cui Zong's face was also pale, while Zhai Wenxiu screamed non-stop, looking extremely frightened.

Then several soldiers rushed in, pulled Zhai Wenxiu back, pushed and shoved, and pushed outside the camp tent, Zhai Wenxiu only saw that the Changwu army was connected from end to end, and was lining up and began to advance towards Jingyang in the north of Chang'an City.

Li Huaiguang was in iron armor, rode on a horse and pointed to him to the south and said: "Zhai Junrong, before you went to the secret music to impeach the military discipline of my Changwu Army, the soldiers were not satisfied after hearing it, they were not full of food and clothing, what kind of military discipline are you talking about?" So I'll let them go to Zhongwei Bridge, if the saint still doesn't give us a reward when they get there, then Huaiguang I can only kill you, in order to calm the army's heart. ”

Zhai Wenxiu's legs immediately weakened, and he knelt in front of Li Huaiguang's horse with a bang.

At this moment, Gao Yue had already stepped up and galloped to Chongyi Fang, south of Guozijian in Wubenfang, which was Duan Xiushi's mansion.

Duan Xiushi, who was idle at home, heard that Gao Yue suddenly came to him, and he was so shocked that he got up in his clothes.

"Envoy Jun (Gao Yue still calls Duan Xiushi as the envoy), now the capital is in danger, there is a traitor Li Xilie in the southeast, and Li Huaiguang from the river is also disgruntled and trying to commit a crime!" Gao Yue gasped, followed by Guo Xiaofeng, and said so when he saw Duan Xiushi.

"What!" Duan Xiushi didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

"How many gods are there in the capital to unite the children?" Gao Yue hurriedly asked the second question.

Duan Xiushi sighed, shook his head, and said that there were originally 60,000 Shence troops inside and outside the country, Li Sheng took some of them, Liu Dexin took some of them, Yang Huiyuan and Zhang Juji joined Li Huaiguang's army to go to Heshuo, and Xing Junya, Zhu Zhongliang, Luo Yuanguang, and Shang Kegu entered Ge Shuyao's camp to rescue the eastern capital - where are the soldiers and horses left in the city.

"But didn't Bai Zhizhen recruit a lot more?"

"Alas, silly boy, don't you know this, Bai Zhizhen can't help it, now even the people of Fang City in Chang'an have been emptied, and all the military camps are replenished. In fact, there are less than 5,000 soldiers in the city, most of them are old and weak and the market is full, and Bai Zhizhen is just holding an empty book on weekdays, and he is too weak to deal with it. ”

Gao Yue thought to himself that this was indeed the case, only in Xianyang Chen Taoxian's Gao Chongwen's two thousand divine troops could be real, but fortunately, he had been following me in Fengtian Camp City.

Then Gao Yue said to Duan Xiushi: "In this case, the Holy Lord is afraid that he still doesn't know, Li Huaiguang will mutiny seven or eight times out of ten, Li Xilie will attack again, and the capital will not be able to hold it at all, please make the king take advantage of the night to call Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor Shu Wang, scatter the cavalry and serve Xiao Xin, Taishi Yan Lugong, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Pan Yan, the Ministry of Rites Lang Linghu Xiang, the Ministry of Soldiers Lang Xiao Fu, the left and right Jinwu generals Hun Ying, Zhang Guangsheng, go straight to the Dongnei Daming Palace, please open the door of the Yanying Palace, not a minute!" ”

Duan Xiushi saw that Gao Yue didn't seem to be joking, and after thinking for a while, he asked his son Duan Bolun to gather dozens of children in the family, holding torches, and running around the streets of Chang'an City to gather everyone Gao Yue mentioned.

In peacetime, this group of ministers and generals all realized the seriousness of the matter, and the eldest among them, Xiao Xin, rode a horse from Xuanyangfang to the outside of Daming Palace, and shouted to the Jinwuwei soldiers who were guarding: "Li Huaiguang wants to commit a crime, Li Huaiguang wants to make a mistake!" ”

"How is this possible?" Later, in the Yanying Palace, the emperor was full of disbelief, and said to the ministers, "I also appointed my subordinate Lu Qi yesterday to order Jingzhao Yin Wang Hong, today to Fuping, out of the cloth of the Zuozang Treasury to reward Li Huaiguang's department. ”

As a result, before the emperor's words were finished, Huo Zhongtang and Tan Zhizhong, the two lieutenants, ran over with a frightened expression: "Your Majesty, Li Huaiguang's 20,000 soldiers and horses have arrived at Zhongwei Bridge and are approaching the North Forbidden Garden in the capital, I don't know what the intention is." ”

"Lu Qi ordered Wang Hong?" At this moment, Yan Zhenqing also noticed the most serious problem.

Because since Lu Qi framed Yan Ying, the imperial historian, he actually let Yuan Xiu and Wang Hong, the original enemies, unite, one for Guang Luqing and the other for Jing Zhaoyin, to gather from time to time, and to give Lu Qi some color.

So Yan Zhenqing suddenly realized that he hurriedly picked up the wat board, "Your Majesty, please send an envoy to the lieutenant to quickly announce the return of Wang Hong of the labor army!" ”

"Why?" The emperor is still a little unclear.

At this time, several other palace attendants came in and told the emperor that Prime Minister Lu Qi and Guan Bo heard that the emperor had suddenly opened a cabinet and summoned the right people, so they would also come to listen.

Lu Qi couldn't tolerate his absence when the emperor and others discussed state affairs in the Yanying Palace.

"Your Majesty, don't let Lu Qi enter the cabinet." Xiao Fu, the squire of the military department, was full of expression.
