Li Longji seemed to have a long, long nightmare.

In the dream, he was pointed at by his own son with a crossbow, and bitterly complained of his contempt and hatred for him, and then he was shot in the chest. The same dream was repeated over and over again, he wanted to call for help, he wanted to resist, but his body couldn't move, and every time he could only watch the arrow fly. Gradually, there were more follow-ups after the nightmare, and there were so many characters that it was dazzling, but the only thing he could see clearly was the two hideous faces of Yongwang Li Lan and Xiangcheng King Li Yi's father and son, which were full of blood, and the curse that was extremely vicious, and those voices kept lingering in his ears, and he couldn't get rid of them.

"Ah......h

When he finally called out after holding back for an unknown amount of time, and then opened his eyes suddenly, Li Longji found that the top of his head was a beautiful curtain, not those hideous faces, and the room was filled with a calming incense, not the bloody breath that had been haunting before. Realizing that he was just dreaming before, and that he was still the supreme emperor, he relaxed suddenly, but he only moved slightly, and the sharp pain in his shoulder suddenly made him cry out miserably. With this voice, the curtain was suddenly opened, and two faces that were extremely unfamiliar to him appeared.

"Your Majesty is awake, quickly pass on the imperial doctor!"

"It's not just the imperial doctor, go to the political hall to inform Pei Xiangguo, and go to the imperial history platform to inform General Gao, General Chen, Wang Zhongcheng and all the scholars!"

This messy voice made Li Longji's mind a mess, and the only thing that could be clearly distinguished was that Du Shiyi was the only one among these people. Could it be that Du Shiyi is dead? Because of the interweaving of reality and dreams, he couldn't remember exactly what had happened before, but the thought that came out of his heart suddenly magnified. He tried his best to calm down and called for someone to come, but the two eunuchs who had just come over had already screamed and ran out, and they all left him, the noble son of the Tang Dynasty. At this moment, he only felt shocked and angry, but at the moment he had no strength to pursue these bold subordinates.

It was a long time before he saw two panicked imperial doctors appear in his eyes. Before he could speak, one of them immediately rolled up his sleeves and poured a bowl of bitter gall water into his mouth with a bowl of bitter bile water; The other man was busy undressing him, removing the white cotton cloth that wrapped the wound layer by layer, and then wiping the wound with spirits, debridement and dressing. It was a bitter and painful experience, and it almost tossed him to death again.

It was easy to get through this wave, and Li Longji asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is this?" Who's there now? ”

"Your Majesty, this is the Qingliang Hall of Daming Palace, which is both quiet and suitable for recuperation."

As soon as he heard the three words of Qingliang Palace, Li Longji was almost so angry that he smoked. When his grandmother, Empress Zetian Wu, was in Chang'an, this was a place she liked very much, and it is said that Li Dan and several other children were born here. But for Li Longji, who is extremely jealous and hates his grandmother, this is what he hates the most in Daming Palace. Otherwise, he would not have changed Empress Wu's will before An Lushan rebelled, and changed his title of the Great Holy Empress Zetian to the Holy Empress Zetianshun. This time, he couldn't control the anger in his heart, and asked word by word, "Who moved me here?" ”

The two imperial doctors were all able to sense the anger of the Son of Heaven, but Li Longji didn't know about the changes in the outside world, but they knew it very well. The two exchanged a look, and one of the older said in a low voice: "King Yong colluded with the inner servants around His Majesty, not only plotting to assassinate His Majesty and Du Xiangguo, but also mobilizing the forbidden army. Therefore, His Majesty was seriously injured and unconscious before, and he couldn't see people, and after Du Xiangguo and Pei Xiangguo and all the scholars and servants agreed, they moved His Majesty to the Qingliang Hall of Daming Palace. Now there is a discussion outside about the overseer. In the imperial history, many ministers such as Cheng Wang Jin elected the second son of the late crown prince, Nanyang Wang Jian Guo. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Longji only felt that his whole person was like being struck by lightning, and his throat was fishy and sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He didn't pay attention to it in a daze, and hurriedly came up again, and the imperial doctor who supported him, there was only one thought in his mind - he lost this battle too badly! Yongwang Li Lan's arrow not only caused him to suffer a heavy physical injury, but also those accusations pierced the window paper that pierced him to assassinate Du Shiyi, making his already fragile spirit almost collapse, and now in the face of such the worst news, where can he still support it?

The second son of the crown prince Li Heng, King Nanyang? Who's that? He couldn't even remember what such a grandson looked like!

Holding his last breath, Li Longji gritted his teeth and asked, "What about the right minister Du Junli?" What did he say? ”

"Back to His Majesty, the military situation in Hebei is unstable, originally planned to take Ye County and Fuyang, so that Anyang became a lonely city, who knew that Ye County Fuyang An Shouzhong army ambushed, Hedong Jiedu made Cheng Qianli ambush defeated, and His Majesty Xià did not wake up at that time, so Pei Xiangguo and others discussed it, and decided to take Du Xiangguo as the marshal to lead the Shuofang, Hedong, and Anbei armies, and go to Hebei to preside over the war. Early this morning, Du Xiangguo entrusted all the state affairs to Pei Xiangguo and others, transferred the Anbei Forward Battalion to accompany him, and rushed to Hebei! ”

Hearing that Du Shiyi was no longer in Chang'an, and that he had officially added the title of marshal, Li Longji only felt that the breath in his heart could no longer be smoothed, and he fainted again. Leaving such a mess, Du Shiyi actually retreated and went to the front to lead the troops, which undoubtedly gave him a slap in the face again. He tried his best to summon Du Shiyi back because he was seriously ill, but in the end, he not only compensated himself, but also made a big case involving countless people, and made the ministers arch out of a Nanyang king!

Who is Li Li, the king of Nanyang?

It is not only Li Longji who has such a question, but even many officials and people in Chang'an City also have such a question. Although it was the eldest of Li Heng's remaining sons, when Li Heng was imprisoned, King Guangping and King Jianning were running around, but they didn't see this King of Nanyang come forward to cry out for his father, and in the eyes of many people, such an imperial grandson is not even as bloody as Cui Shi, the princess of Guangping, who was born in the Yang family. Some people even think that the Son of Heaven still has many princes, and he should not choose the East Palace among the emperors and grandchildren, such as King Ying, who is known as a famous prince, is the best candidate for the East Palace.

King Ying himself never jumped out to fight with his nephew, but Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and Li Hui, the king of Feng, who had been fortunate by the Son of Heaven before, were willing to let Li Li, who was only the son of a member of the East Palace, sit on top of their heads. They couldn't get out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and sent them up one by one, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion in the entire Chang'an City, and the group of people who questioned the prisoners in the imperial history Taizhong made countless people anxious.

Leaving a messy Chang'an, Du Shiyi has already left Tongguan again at this moment. Compared with the only more than 100 people around him when he came, when he returned this time, in addition to Azler's more than 600 forward battalions accompanying him, there was also a group of Guanzhong heroes who invited themselves to accompany him, about 200 people. If it weren't for the lack of horses in Chang'an City, it would be impossible for him to go to the stables of the Son of Heaven to call horses, but he was afraid that there would be more people who took the initiative to follow. It was when these people heard the boiling rumors that they learned that he did not stay involved in the affairs of Lichu, but rushed back to Hebei to preside over the war, and their hearts were moved, so they gathered from all over Gyeonggi Province.

Since the strength around him is sufficient, he is not worried that someone will deliberately mix it with sand. He transferred ten elite veterans from Azler and put them down to train these warriors, and he ate and lived with his soldiers. Because of the An Lushan Rebellion, the once prosperous post houses on the north and south roads of Kushan were hit hard, and they have only just restored their messenger functions, but they are not able to receive officials. Therefore, he just set off at dawn, passing through the prefectures and counties along the way to replenish rations, or simply sleeping in the open, or borrowing a homestay to rest for the night, and so on, and it only took a few days to arrive at Ji County, Weizhou.

Ji County is bordered by Hedong in the north, and only one day's journey to Heluo in the south, which was once the place where Hedong, Shuofang and Anbei were stationed in the past. However, now, the army has defeated Tangyin County, Ye County, and the main force has moved forward, and there are only more than 2,000 people left in Ji County to ensure the safety of the grain route and the rear. However, upon arrival, Azler, who had stood at the front station, found that the guards at the gate were either depressed or listless, and even the soldiers patrolling the city looked wilted. Even when his group of more than a dozen people was about to arrive at the city gate, the reaction here was still very slow.

"Take me to meet the chief general stationed in Ye County!"

As soon as Azlerma stopped, he shouted out such a sentence, and only then did someone come forward as if he had just woken up from a dream. When he was about to check Azler's identity, he suddenly saw the banner of the Na'an North Forward Battalion clearly. For a while, he shouted violently, and the city suddenly made a loud noise, and the people under the city were also in a commotion. Suddenly, Azler's dozen horsemen were suddenly tightly surrounded.

Faced with such an unexpected scene, Azler's brows suddenly furrowed into a big pimple, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, but he was relieved to hear the words of these people asking clearly, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

"Didn't your Anbei Forward Battalion stay in Chang'an?"

"Did that faint gentleman really kill Du Dashuai!"

"Why can't you even protect Du Dashuai, the reputation of this Anbei forward battalion is hard to give for nothing!

Azler did not say anything when he was attacked by such a group, but his subordinates couldn't help but be angry. An old soldier with the most violent temper angrily volleyed his horse whip to drive people away, and scolded in his mouth: "The marshal is in the rear army, and he is about to arrive in Ji County, what are you waiting for, dare to curse the marshal!" ”

Hearing that Du Shiyi was about to arrive in Ji County, the crowd that was still angry just now fell silent all of a sudden. After looking at each other for a while, someone couldn't help but ask, "Is this true?" Is Du Dashuai really coming? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously! I am Du Sui, the commander of the Anbei Forward Battalion, and my father-in-law will be here soon! ”

This time, the crowd finally believed. As the people under the city shouted the good news, there was a burst of cheers from the city. Immediately after, Azler and the others were actually surrounded into the city like a triumphant army. Despite receiving such a high treatment, Azler only felt a heavy weight in his heart.

The attitude of the Xinxiang defenders before and after is like a world of difference, is the situation ahead really too bad to be worse? What the hell is going on, is it a rumor spread by the rebels?
