Chapter 70: Forcing the Palace (Alliance Leader Plus Change)
The leader of the squad stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said loudly in a voice that Tang Xuanzong could hear, "Tell the general, coming out of Chang'an, the brothers are all hungry, and those with delicious food and drink are all for the people of the royal family, even if it is not, I didn't expect that Yang Guozhong, the dog prime minister, relied on the support of Yang Yuhuan, the concubine, and also seized military salaries and other materials, so that in addition to starving, there is no cure for illness and injury, and even if you want to pay out of your own pocket and have no money to use, it is too much, and all the brothers in the army are not convinced, Resentment arose, and the last general had no choice but to make this decision and lead people to kill him. β
"Actually, the last general did this, it was an expedient measure to calm the army's heart, not really a rebellion, I hope you will give these to the emperor, and at the same time, I implore the emperor to issue an order to get rid of Yang Guifei, the demon girl, because, with her one day, the army's heart is difficult to stabilize, the last general is all about this, I hope you understand, may the emperor be clear, and may my Tang Dynasty recover as soon as possible - ah!"
And when he had said that, he drew his sword and slew himself, and lost his voice.
The other Praetorian soldiers behind him did not expect him to commit suicide, which immediately caused a riot.
"Get down on your knees! Even if Prime Minister Yang really has a lot of wrongs, you shouldn't commit any of them! Now that the main offender has committed suicide and apologized, you, as accomplices, had better be honest with me if you want to seek leniency! Chen Xuanli is still quite majestic in the army, not to mention that this is a good show directed and acted by him, after some words that seem reasonable, those forbidden soldiers obediently knelt on the ground, motionless, more like loyal dogs than loyal dogs.
And Tang Xuanzong was only concerned about his own safety now, and did not find this kind of wrongness, pointed to the self-killing forbidden army captain, and instructed Gao Lishi, "You go and check it out to see if what he just said is true." β
"Yes." Colliers said yes and left immediately.
Yang Yuhuan never dreamed that Yang Guozhong would die like this, and he was very sad in his heart, leaning on the weekend's shoulder and choking in a low voice, while staring at the situation on Tang Xuanzong's side.
Seeing that it was Gao Lishi who went to find out the truth of the matter, hope appeared on her face, and she whispered to the weekend: "Brother Yi, Gao Lishi is my person, and he will definitely be able to give my brother justice, because my brother is a good person, and he will never be able to do what that person said." β
Yang Guozhong left on the weekend of that year, and when she married King Shou, King Shou specially found a reliable family member for her. In her mind, he is full of insight and talent, and he loves her very much, and over the years, thanks to him teaching her the methods and principles of life, she can endure the humiliation and burden in the days when she is not on the weekend, and survive until the moment of goodbye weekend. He is her closest relative except for weekends.
Weekend looked at her with pity and was silent.
Yang Yuhuan seems to have experienced all kinds of scenery that ordinary women have never had in her life, the princess did it, the concubine also did it, and the glory and wealth were not less, however, her fate was actually very sad, she lost her parents when she was a teenager, she was sent to the fence, no matter how hard she tried, she was disgusted, and she was forced to marry the old man as a concubine as a money-making tool; When she was young, she was lucky enough to marry a prince with status, and her husband couldn't protect her, making her a laughing stock in the market, and a good princess had to transform into a Daogu, and then from Daogu to a concubine of her husband's father; When he reached middle age, he was very good, and he was about to be arrested and killed by a man who had shared the bed for more than ten years on the grounds of Anjun's heart.
It can be said that every man she has met in her life and every man she trusts has nothing good except for herself, including Yang Guozhong, who she thinks is "a good person", and Gao Lishi, who she thinks is her "person".
She's so pathetic.
Colliers soon returned.
When he passed by Yang Yuhuan, he deliberately pretended not to see her, lowered his head and hurriedly walked forward.
Yang Yuhuan thought that he really didn't see himself, so he innocently chased after him a few steps and asked him, "How is the situation?" β
Gao Lishi turned his head and glared at her with disgust, then ignored her, strode to Tang Xuanzong's carriage, and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, what the little general said is completely true, I implore the emperor to execute Yang Guifei, confiscate the food and military salaries withheld by Yang Guozhong, and distribute them to the soldiers of the forbidden army to secure the army-"
"Colliers (dog minion)! Shut up (shut your dog's mouth)! Lord Suyuan and Princess Xianyi couldn't listen to it anymore, and spoke in unison.
As early as when Yang Guozhong was killed, they all stood by Tang Xuanzong's side.
Yang Yuhuan has a soft and naΓ―ve personality, they usually have a good relationship with her, they really can't bear to see her innocently implicated, and at the same time, they also feel that Gao Lishi is very excessive, because they all know how much Yang Yuhuan usually trusts him and relies on him, and his performance is too ungrateful.
Gao Lishi was very shrewd, and from the disgusted expressions they looked at him, he realized that he was acting too ruthlessly, and immediately made a helpless look and explained to them: "Princess, county lord, the slave is just thinking about the emperor, and the slave himself respects Yang Guifei very much. The minions say a big disrespectful word to you, if the soldiers in the army think that you need the princess and the county lord to die in order not to mutiny, then the minions will also persuade the emperor to execute you for the sake of the emperor! β
"Oh, dog minion, it's against you! Syllable! Princess Xianyi was furious when she heard this, and directly slapped an ear scraper on Gao Lishi's face.
Gao Lishi gritted his teeth and endured the pain without saying a word, covered the place where he was beaten, and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "The slave knows that the slave is saying this in the following crimes, if the slave is beaten to make the princess angry, the princess will beat it, kill the slave, and the slave will never complain." β
"Okay, when is it, still so willful!" Tang Xuanzong stopped Princess Xianyi from pumping to the other side of Gao Lishi with his eyes at the right time.
At this moment, he still has to rely on Gao Lishi to help turn the situation around, if Xian Yi fights too much, it will chill Gao Lishi's heart, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Of course, Gao Lishi's words are indeed infuriating, Yang Yuhuan is his woman, this dog beating still depends on the owner, the forbidden army wants him to execute Yang Yuhuan, what is the difference between forcing him to slap himself in the face?
Fortunately, Yang Yuhuan is a concubine, not a wife, otherwise, this kind of coercion is enough to make him the laughing stock of the world!
He looked at Gao Lishi with a torch in his eyes, and sternly refused, "This thing is not good, there is no word for the crime you want to add, the country is loyal to the chaos, its crime should be punished, and Yuhuan is guilty." β
Gao Lishi didn't expect that Tang Xuanzong would dare to refuse to sacrifice Yang Yuhuan in such a critical situation now, and he was a little worried, looked at Chen Xuanli, and signaled him to persuade him too.
Chen Xuanli took the initiative, hurriedly knelt on the ground, walked to Tang Xuanzong's feet, and said in a low voice in a voice that only Tang Xuanzong could hear: "Your Majesty, now on the surface, dozens of people are making mutiny, but their actions have not been opposed and stopped by any other forbidden army, which shows that they acquiesced. Although the guards of the forbidden army in my hands are all brave and good at fighting, there are only a few hundred people, and those forbidden troops who have been deducted food and military salaries by Prime Minister Yang are thousands of people, and if we really fight, we will be wiped out. β
"Since ancient times, if it weren't for Yang Guifei's fox and flattering emperor, Yang Guozhong has repeatedly made greedy words, so that Yang Guozhong has become the ruler of a country from a down-and-out scholar, step by step, and has searched for people's fat and ointment everywhere, and even put his hand into the food and salary of the forbidden army, how can there be such a disaster today? In today's plan, just like Gao Lishi said, only by executing Yang Guifei can we have a glimmer of life, otherwise, the forbidden army will suspect that Yang Guozhong's actions were actually secretly instructed by the emperor because the emperor tried his best to protect Yang Guifei, so that the fake mutiny turned into a real mutiny! β
After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Please think twice, the emperor!" And then knocked his head to the ground one after another, making a posture of death.
Seeing this, Gao Lishi and the guards of the forbidden army behind him immediately followed suit, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please think twice, the emperor!" ", one after another, "bang bang bang" to the ground with his head.
