Kong Sheng originally came to the world as a god and went down to assist the Li Tang royal family to stabilize the world, but the crown prince Li Yu held the emperor hostage to order the world, ignoring Kong Sheng's high merits and wanting to kill the heroes, which caused Kong Sheng to be angry, thus showing many miracles, and then leaving Chang'an without a trace.

Such news spreads in the shortest possible time.

Five days later.

When the news reached Luoyang, the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang were in an uproar, and the whole city was shaken.

Originally, in the hearts of the military and people of Luoyang, Kong Sheng must have accepted the reward of the imperial court and the emperor when he entered Beijing this time, and King Zheng wanted to go further. However, the Li Tang royal family did everything they could to kill the heroes.

Yang Tong got the news first, and was speechless for a while. His face was solemn, and his expression changed. Li Biao, Li Hu, Wu Xian, and Wu Xie brothers were filled with righteous indignation, and anger was palpable.

Kong Sheng, in the minds of these generals, is a god-like existence. Moreover, Kong Sheng's suffering is equivalent to the tragic fate of these Luoyang generals, and they have to think about their own way out. The emperor didn't even show any affection for Kong Sheng, let alone ordinary generals like them?

The Li Tang royal family now intends to put Kong Sheng to death, which means that they will also face annihilation.

Wu Xian said angrily: "Sir, Lord Yuan Chao, brothers, since His Royal Highness King Zheng came out of the south of the Yangtze River, Henan has quelled the rebellion, stabilized the return to the country, and went north to fight for thieves. How many times have you been born and died, how many times have you been in the bloody field, but the emperor is ruthless and unjust, and he kills the heroes, which is really chilling! Now that the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, his life and death are unknown, and a certain family really can't swallow this evil breath! It is better for our generation to raise troops to attack Chang'an and avenge His Royal Highness King Zheng! ”

Wu Xian opened his mouth, and Wu Xie immediately opened his mouth to echo: "Yes, Mr. Yang, Lord Yuan, we can't sit still, we should immediately raise troops to avenge the prince!" ”

Li Biao and Li Hu shouted angrily: "Raise troops to avenge the prince!" Our 100,000 troops marched west to Chang'an, destroyed the Li Tang royal family, and proclaimed the prince as the emperor! ”

Li Biao and Li Hu have followed Kong Sheng for a long time, and they have long regarded Kong Sheng as the only master, and their loyalty is beyond words. And just after the Anshi Rebellion, to be honest, many people do not have a strong sense of belonging to the Li Tang royal family. Otherwise, after the Middle and Tang Dynasty, the situation of separating feudal towns and supporting troops and self-respecting people would not have appeared.

Yang Tong and Yuan Chao glanced at each other, and they both read a deep solemnity in each other's gazes. Kong Sheng was cooked by the emperor's bird and hidden rabbit and dead dog, which is not a good thing for them, if the emperor touches a thread, their end can also be imagined. In order to save his own life and future, of course, he can't sit still. However, rebellion is not a trivial matter, and it cannot be easily decided.

But Yang Tong and Yuan Chao also knew very well in their hearts that although they were entrusted with important tasks by Kong Sheng in Luoyang, the real military power was in the hands of Wu Xian Wujie and other four people.

Yang Tong took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "Generals, the prince is in trouble, and the mountain people are also related to each other, and they are very unfair!" But please don't be impatient, the news is that the prince left Chang'an without a trace, not bad news. The matter of raising troops is very important, you and I should be cautious at the moment, and everything will be decided when the prince returns to Luoyang? ”

Li Biao sneered: "What are you waiting for? The prince is in trouble, and everyone in the world is uneven. We are deeply favored by the prince, if we can't avenge the prince, won't we be scolded by the world? The prince entered Beijing alone, if the emperor suddenly made a dead hand, how could he be lucky? ”

Yang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "General Li, the prince is not an untimely death, besides, the prince is invincible and unpredictable, since the prince dares to enter Beijing alone, he must have a strategy for self-preservation." In the eyes of the mountain people, the prince must be safe and sound, maybe he is on his way back to Luoyang at this moment. Shanren still insisted that before the prince returned to Luoyang, it would be better for me to wait and see what happened. Please rest assured that if the prince returns to Luoyang, he will raise the banner against the Tang Dynasty, and the mountain people are also deeply favored by the prince, and they will definitely follow behind. ”

Yuan Chao also gently persuaded: "Generals, Yuan Mou has been following the prince in Jiangnan since he fought, and he has already handed over his life to the prince. A certain family suggested, I will wait for another three or five days, if the prince still does not return to Luoyang, it is not too late for me to raise troops to attack Chang'an! ”

Before Li Biao could refute, Li Hu grabbed Li Biao's arm, shook his head and said, "Big brother, two Wu family brothers, a certain family thinks what Mr. Yang and Lord Yuan said is reasonable. Today, the news from Chang'an is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the life and death of the prince are unknown, so it is not appropriate to act rashly at this moment. Or wait for three or five days, if it is confirmed that the prince is indeed suffering, we will wait without hesitation, what can we do if we raise troops against him?! ”

Wu Xianwujie stomped his feet irritably, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

Li Biao and Li Hu also hurriedly bid farewell to Yang Tong and Yuan Chao. Looking at the backs of the four of them leaving, Yuan Chao sighed lightly and said: "Sir, there should be no fake when the emperor killed the meritorious King Zheng, this group of generals under King Zheng has always known that there is King Zheng but not the imperial court, it seems that this rebellion cannot be avoided!" ”

Yang Tong smiled bitterly: "The so-called rabbit dead dog cooks the bird and hides it, which is also common sense. It is also normal for King Zheng's high achievements to arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Moreover, King Zheng and the crown prince have always been at odds, and it is reasonable for the prince to seize the opportunity to attack King Zheng. But the mountain people didn't believe that King Zheng would die in Chang'an - Yuan Chao, King Zheng was definitely not a human being, and all kinds of miracles were difficult to kick, how could such a person die easily? In fact, before King Zheng entered Beijing, he had a long conversation with the mountain people, in fact, he had already expected the matter of Chang'an, and insisted on entering Beijing alone, and he must have the ability to protect himself. The mountaineers estimated that in these three or five days, King Zheng would definitely return to Luoyang and raise troops against the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Yes. With the ability of King Zheng, it is not impossible to replace Li Tang. Sir, what should you and I do in the future? Yuan Chao paused word by word, looking at Yang Tong with a complicated expression.

"Yuan Chao, you and I are in the same vein as Luoyang, if Luoyang's military horses are against the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult for you and me to be alone. But the anti-Tang thing is by no means an understatement, the world has just seen signs of stability, and there is such an incident, hey! Pity the people of the world, they will have to suffer from war again! Yang Tong sighed lightly: "Although these generals accept the advice of our generation on the surface, they will incite the army in private to make preparations for anti-Tang planning in the past two days." The military power is not in our hands, even if we have the heart, we are powerless, we can only let it go, and do our best to obey the destiny of heaven! ”

Yuan Chao was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, you are highly knowledgeable and far-sighted, in your opinion, if King Zheng is alive, what are the chances of raising troops against the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"At least seventy or eighty percent. Yuan Chao, King Zheng sat in Henan, Shannan, and Jiangnan, with 100,000 troops, commanding the world. As long as King Zheng rebelled, these three soldiers and civilians all rose up and responded. The soldiers and horses under Guo Ziyi's command were in awe of King Zheng, and the 50,000 Shence army belonging to Nan Jiyun, who was guarding the periphery of Chang'an, was originally the old department of King Zheng. If the destiny of heaven returns, in three or five years, King Zheng should be the leader of the world and replace Li Tang! Yang Tong was thoughtful.

Yuan Chao nodded slowly, and said nothing more.

Just as Yang Tong guessed and judged, although Wu Xian, Wu Jie, Li Biao, Li Hu, and even Luo Yong and other generals did not immediately raise their banners against the Tang Dynasty, they each went deep into their own armies, began to mobilize the morale of the army, and made various preparations to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty.

Sure enough, after the news of Kong Sheng's suffering and Li Tang's royal family's killing of heroes for no reason spread in the army, the 100,000-strong army was full of emotion, and most of the soldiers were upset for Kong Sheng. Because in the eyes of most people, this behavior of the Li Tang royal family is not only to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but also to ignore the exploits of this army and horses to fight thieves and recover the eastern capital Luoyang, and to blaspheme and ruthlessly trample on the dead soldiers!

For two days in a row, the voices in the army angrily denounced the ruthlessness of the royal family and the emperor's unreasonableness, and the call for raising troops to avenge Kong Sheng was even higher.

Changan.

Daming Palace. The emperor was really ill this time, and since Kong Sheng's generous speech on the Golden Palace showed an amazing miracle and rushed to the sky, the emperor was frightened and regretted. The emperor knew that Kong Sheng's revenge would come, and once Kong Sheng either raised troops to attack, or descended by god-like means, the Li Tang royal family would not be able to resist it at all.

The emperor had a premonition that the foundation of the Li Tang royal family was about to collapse, and his father and son were the culprits. Originally, Kong Sheng could assist the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, but it turned out to be an enemy, judging from the incomparably miraculous means displayed by Kong Sheng when he left, what awaits Chang'an and the Li Tang royal family will be a subversive storm.

The emperor was depressed and speechless.

Crown Prince Li Yu has been going to the city gate tower every day for the past two days, looking at the direction of Luoyang City, and his expression is solemn and silent. The wind is howling, the autumn leaves are flying, and the inside and outside of Chang'an City are gloomy. Pei Yuanli stood behind Li Yu and said softly: "Your Highness, we can't sit still, in the opinion of the minister, we should immediately transfer Guo Ziyi's army of 100,000 troops to the capital and defend Chang'an." There are two armies of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi guarding Chang'an, even if that-Kong Sheng raises troops to attack, he can also protect Chang'an. ”

Li Yu smiled bitterly: "This palace never thought that Kong Sheng would be a god-like figure, and with his means, I am afraid that it is beyond human power to contend with." If he raises troops to attack, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are definitely not his opponents...... Pei Yuanli, are you wrong about this palace? ”

"From the perspective of the court and the royal family, His Highness is not wrong. Kong Shenggong is high-ranking and rude, and his tail is too big to fall, such a courtier, no matter which dynasty or generation, can not tolerate it. It's just that he didn't expect Kong Sheng to escape, which laid a big trouble for the imperial court and Chang'an. Your Highness, please rest assured, no matter how strange Kong Sheng is, he is only alone, how can he be able to defeat my army of more than 100,000 people? Guo Ziyi's fierce generals are like clouds, and Guo Ziyi's return to Chang'an will definitely ensure the safety of His Royal Highness. ”

Li Yu sighed lightly: "Now in Chang'an, the government and the opposition are panicking, and almost everyone is complaining that the palace has caused a shocking disaster for the imperial court. If this continues, I am afraid that before Kong Sheng's soldiers and horses come, civil strife will begin in Chang'an City. ”
