The chaos in Chang'an City came strangely and ridiculously. The cause is only one name that has been forgotten by almost everyone - Li Chongmao, the king of Xiang.

This name, which has been bleak and almost unnoticed in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty, is still remembered in this era. It was the son of Emperor Zhongzong, who was made the son of heaven by Empress Wei at the age of sixteen, but he only sat on the throne for only sixteen days before he was removed from the throne by the Tanglong coup jointly initiated by Princess Taiping and Li Longji and others. Although he was luckier than Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, who were immediately killed, he was first demoted to King Wen, and then renamed King Xiang, but in the end he only lived for four more years, and died in Liangzhou at the age of twenty.

And now, a group of old rì ancestors were eunuchs, but now they are depressed and depressed, but they launched a son who claimed to be the son of King Xiang and established himself as the Emperor of Light, and took hundreds of camp soldiers at night to enter Chang'an Taiji Palace from Jingfeng Gate, intending to kill Wang Zhixi, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department who stayed in Xijing, and once rushed into Changle Gate in the palace. As a result, Wang Zhixi, who was a lot of years old, was caught off guard, and with the help of his entourage, he escaped by climbing over the wall to chase and kill a group of rebels, like ants on a hot pot, but he didn't find anyone

As a result, hundreds of people in this area made a fuss all night and then rebelled, and the cantonment soldiers who had been in chaos and followed the incident mutinied for a while, cut off the heads of the leaders of the second ancestors, and offered them to ask for guilt. But even so, such a great event happened during his stay in Xijing, Wang Zhixi didn't know whether he was old, or thought of the consequences of the emperor's pursuit of the matter, and was finally scared to death. In other words, not to mention that there has just been chaos in Chang'an City, and there is no leader in the upper and lower groups, although Jingzhao Yin Meng Wenli is full of pressure, the situation can still be said to be chaotic.

Du Shiyi had only heard that the head of the rebel party had been sent to the Eastern Capital urgently, and when he learned of the death of Wang Zhixi, who stayed in Xijing, at the court meeting, it was already a matter of Du Shisanniang's return to the door. And after learning the detailed inside story, he couldn't help but be terrified.

Jingfeng Gate is the east gate of Taiji Palace, and Changle Gate is one of the four gates from the imperial city in front of Taiji Palace to the palace city in the back.

So, when the rì Chang Dynasty, Zhang Jiazhen asked the important person to go to Chang'an, Xijing to pacify, pick and choose, and chose Yin Wangyi of Henan. But immediately after, Yuan Qianyao actually recommended him to go to Chang'an with Wang Yi to appease, and Li Longji played it accurately

After returning to Menxia Province after the court meeting, Du Shiyi followed Yuan Qianyao back to the straight room, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did Xiangguo recommend me to go with Wang Dayin?" ”

"Who are you Dao Wang Yi? He and Zhang Jiazhen have always had a close relationship, and this case of rebellion has always been not trivial, if he blindly investigates and even frames it, it will be another bloody storm in the DPRK and China. Yuan Qianyao sighed worriedly as he spoke, "It's just that Wang Yi is also considered to be stronger than Yin in Henan, and the sage also appreciates it, so Zhang Jiazhen recommended the sage in one fell swoop." Although I can recommend other people on the attaché, but the official position is too high, it is inevitable that the two of them will hold each other, and it is difficult to cut through the chaos quickly, but the official position is too low, but it will not be able to balance Wang Yi at all, and the saint may not have heard of it. What's more, Wang Yi's rigidity is a bit similar to Zhang Jiazhen, and he has to have a strong point to make him not go too far, Du Jiulang, think about it, it's only you."

Sure enough, it was an official who was a low-level pit to kill people, not to mention that his current grade was more than 108,000 miles lower than Yuan Qianyao, and he didn't say hello first for this kind of thing

The emperor is accurate, what else does Du Shiyi have to say now? What's more, Yuan Qianyao's reasons are extremely fair and reasonable, even if he knows that this trip is estimated to be very difficult, but there is no chance to retreat at this time. Due to the urgency of the matter, Wang Yi immediately wanted to go to Chang'an, and he naturally couldn't delay, so he returned to his left left room from Yuan Qianyao to settle the affairs with a few colleagues, and then immediately hurried out of the palace. At this moment, the court meeting had just ended, and the news had not yet spread, and when he returned to the Du Mansion in Guandefang to explain this urgent matter, everyone up and down was taken aback.

"Is it such a tricky thing?" Chibi himself had experienced the Tang Long coup d'état and the previous killing of Erzhang, although the scale of this palace change was not large, it is needless to say how the Son of Heaven would look at it. Therefore, gasping for a breath, he saw that Du Shiyi went straight back to the room to prepare for the pack without saying a word, he pondered for a while, and then went to find a few of his most familiar companions, a total of four people, and when Liu Mo heard the news, he couldn't help but instruct, "You stay in Luoyang, and after we leave, we will go to Yongfeng Li Cui Mansion to inform Shiyi Langjun and his wife." ”

"Isn't that too few people? Chang'an has just had turmoil, in case there is still an anti-party lurking......"

"Lang Jun is going with that Wang Dayin, an attaché of the official residence and the eighth grade, can he still swagger with a bunch of guards? Besides, Fanchuan Duqu is close at hand, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you don't have to worry about no manpower to deploy."

couldn't resist Chibi, even if Liu Mo didn't want to stay by himself, he had to agree. And Du Shiyi came out of Qiu Niang's extremely simple bags, and when he saw that the horses and personnel in the front yard were ready, he swept the four of them, and showed an appreciative smile on his face, nodded and smiled, and got on the horse. When a group of people galloped all the way to Xuanfanfang's Henan Mansion, Wang Yi and his party came out of it and touched about a dozen people. The two looked at each other, Wang Yi coldly bowed his head and replied to Du Shiyi's salute, and then ordered to the left and right in a deep voice: "The matter is urgent, you need to go to Chang'an at night, and before the evening, you must rush to Chang'an." ”

"Whoa"

This route rushed from Luoyang to Chang'an, and Du Shiyi couldn't help but think of the fast horse and night journey before the Jingzhao Mansion test. It's just that there are twenty people in the group now, plus the post station does not change horses, although the trip is also hard, and the two strands are hot and painful, but he can naturally support it when he is young. And when Wang Yi, who had set a day and night period, arrived in Xin'an County, his face was already a little pale. Nearly fifty years old, he originally insisted on continuing to hurry, but Du Shiyi saw that he was supported by his entourage and couldn't sit on the horse several times, and when he got up, he swayed, so he kindly persuaded: "According to today's itinerary, you will definitely be able to reach Chang'an before evening, why don't you rest for an hour and then hurry?" ”

"The important thing is to be here, how can it be delayed"

Wang Yi didn't want to think about it, so he refused, and seeing that Du Shiyi didn't persuade him anymore, and those entourages followed him on the horse, he whipped the horse with a heavy whip. But when he grasped the reins and the horses galloped again, he felt that the ups and downs that he had endured before had become more and more violent, and the urge in his throat to repulsion had become stronger and stronger. Rao is that he endured and endured again and again with great perseverance, but when the bridge was imminent, he finally couldn't help it. As the road ahead of him was getting more and more cars and horses, everyone slowed down their horses, and as soon as he stopped by the side of the road, he picked his throat and vomited all the things he had eaten in Xin'an earlier. It wasn't until his stomach was empty that he reluctantly took the kettle handed by his entourage and drank a few sips of water, then he pressed his chest and said, "Let's enter Chang'an City immediately."

When the group had entered the city after inspecting the city at the Chūn Ming Gate in Chang'an City, Wang Yi ordered people to send messages to the two county parties of Chang'an Wannian and the Jingzhao Mansion Party, and he led people to the Taiji Palace without stopping. Because the Son of Heaven toured Luoyang to the east, Luoyang already had a palace and official offices equivalent to the capital, and almost half of the full set of civil and military teams followed.

Du Shiyi followed Wang Yi from Anmen to Taiji Palace, and found that this imperial city, which he was already quite familiar with, was now a scene of the rest of his life. Although none of the government offices were completely burned, the blood stains on the walls on the ground and the blackened marks of the fire abounded. Even the officials who saw their group and retreated to salute on both sides of the road, and they could still see the horror on their faces that could not be faded. And when they entered Shangshu Province, not only Wang Yi in front of them was suddenly zhanzhu, but Du Shiyi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

The scorched black marks in this Shangshu Province, the blood stains on the ground, and even the traces of sword fights were more obvious than the other official offices in the Imperial City

"It seems that it was said before that he entered the palace against the party's Jingfeng Gate, and he was determined to stay in Xijing to guard Wang Shangshu, which is true." Wang Yi just stopped slightly for a moment and walked straight forward, until he sat down in the capital hall of Shangshu Province, he ordered Du Shiyi to sit down on the side, and then said in a deep voice, "Who is staying in Shangshu Province?" Where were the rebels before? ”

Wang Yi came in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived, he asked about business, and several Ling Shi and Shu Ling Shi who came out to greet couldn't help but look at each other. Finally, one of them stepped forward and saluted smartly, and explained with a smile: "Wang Dayin, because of the suddenness of the incident, the two principals who accompanied Wang Shangshu on duty that night are now recuperating at home because of injuries. The rest of the Lang Zhong and Wai Lang were injured, some were recuperating at home, and some were in Jingzhao Mansion...... Because he was afraid that there would still be remnants of the rebel party in the palace, everyone was already in the prison of the Jingzhao Mansion, and Meng Gong chose Jīng Zhuang Rì to guard at night, and now he is ......

Jing Zhao Yin and Henan Yin have always been Jing Zhao Yin, but now that Emperor Wang Yi is in his body, he is not afraid of Meng Wenli, and immediately interrupted him: "How big is the Jingzhao Mansion, how can hundreds of rebels be detained?" Dali Temple Weiwei Temple is now empty, but it is just right to watch the prisoners, and immediately transfer people back If the mansion is here, but it is still beheaded by thieves into the imperial city, then the mansion will wipe its neck and commit suicide, so as not to be embarrassed."

Hearing Wang Yi's words, it was obvious that Wang Zhixi, who was left behind in Xijing and was scared to death, was incompetent, and there was silence for a while. After Wang Yi said this, he immediately looked at Du Shiyi and said, "Du Shiyi, please take a trip." ”

"The subordinate officer takes the order."

Du Shiyi got up and agreed, only to hear Wang Yi add another sentence: "There is no one who goes into the imperial city to rebel against the party that night."
