Chang'an was already in chaos, and it looked even more depressed under the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang Suzong had been stationed for a long time, and Yang Guozhong urged again and again before going down the city tower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Majesty, Chen Xuanli has already sent Concubine Yang Hui and the princes and grandsons to the carriage, please hurry up and get on the carriage." Chen Xuanli is the general of the forbidden army Longwu, and now that the court is sluggish, Chen Xuanli is the only one who can take on the task of defending.

Yang Guozhong said: "General Chen, you hurry up and send someone to the Zuozang Treasury to burn all the gold, silver, treasures and other things that you can't take away, you can't leave these things to the rebels." ”

Tang Suzong stopped: "Forget it, Guozhong." If the rebels come to Chang'an and find that the money and property have been burned, they will definitely rob the people on a large scale, so it is better to leave all these gold, silver, money and silk to them. ”

Yang Guozhong nodded yes, didn't stay any longer, and followed Tang Suzong to prepare to leave the city.

As soon as I came to the palace gate, I heard a noisy sound in Yang Huifei's car, and Yang Huifei was reprimanding his soldiers.

Tang Suzong rushed over and said, "What's wrong with Concubine Hui?" ”

Concubine Yang Hui pointed to her soldiers and said, "Your Majesty, why are we leaving?" Where is this going? I don't take away so many musical instruments in the Calyx Building, even the Jiuxi Fengming Qin is left there, I asked them to get it, and these minions actually resisted and disobeyed. ”

Tang Suzong said: "At this time, don't care about these things outside your body, we are now fleeing from Chang'an, and if you can, you won't bring it." ”

Yang Huifei looked at Tang Suzong's expression with displeasure, and Yang Guozhong kept looking at her, so she didn't delve into it, and returned to the car angrily.

Tang Suzong sighed and said to Yang Guozhong: "You send someone to take care of Concubine Hui, and I will go to the front army to take a look." ”

Tang Suzong fled with a lot of cars, nearly a thousand horses, a total of five or six thousand horses in the six palace forbidden army, and a total of seven or eight thousand people with all the palace attendants, palace maids, and entourage.

Tang Suzong was in an imperial city, and he saw that the people on the street were scattering and fleeing, and when they saw the emperor's car, they scolded a few words of resentment, and some even hid in the corner and threw two stones to this side.

Tang Suzong's heart was like a knife, and he hurriedly ordered the forbidden army to speed up so that he could leave Chang'an as soon as possible.

Concubine Hui didn't know anything about the outside world, and was surprised to see this scene, and asked Yang Guozhong: "What's wrong with Chang'an now, how did it become like this?" ”

Yang Guozhong sighed: "After Li Linfu resigned, he was dissatisfied, and he even contacted his nephew to rebel, and he had already defeated Tongguan, and he was about to attack Chang'an. Chang'an is now outnumbered and not enough to resist the rebels, so His Majesty has no choice but to take refuge in the Sichuan-Shu region. ”

Concubine Hui was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "Why didn't I know that such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell me?" ”

Yang Guozhong was silent, and said in his heart: What's the use of telling you? It really shouldn't have been persuaded that His Majesty would have killed Gao Xianzhi in the first place, otherwise the battle of Tongguan might not have been lost, and maybe the rebels would have withdrawn at this time. What a misstep into a thousand hatreds!

At noon the next day, Tang Suzong and his entourage came to Ma Weiyi to stop and rest.

Chen Xuanli inspected the forbidden army, but saw that the soldiers were hungry about this, and their dissatisfaction was rising, and the voices of resentment were endless. Because he fled in a hurry, although Tang Suzong had already distributed a large amount of money to the forbidden army as a reward when he fled, but at this time, the money was not as good as food, and the soldiers naturally complained that they could not eat enough.

Chen Xuanli found Yang Guozhong and said: "Prime Minister, the soldiers can't eat enough now, let's distribute more food, how can the soldiers have the strength to hurry if they can't eat enough." ”

Yang Guozhong said impatiently: "This is a long way to go to Sichuan and Shu Mountain, and the food must be saved." It doesn't matter if the soldiers are hungry twice, when they left Chang'an, everyone was given dozens of silver, could it be that they forgot about being hungry twice? Hurry up and deliver the food to Your Majesty and Niangniang. ”

The royal family's meals were really thorough, with fish and meat, and the portions were sufficient, compared to each soldier who only gave one steamed bun to satisfy his hunger. When Chen Chen Xuanli saw this, he only felt that there was a stone blocking his heart, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Coming to His Majesty's tent, Chen Xuanli said: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, please eat." ”

Tang Suzong looked at the fish and said, "I am the king of refugees, how can you have the heart to eat, you can distribute these fish and meat to the soldiers under you, so that they can eat first." ”

Chen Xuanli was moved in his heart, thought about it again and again, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is unhappy if you don't say a word, please forgive your Majesty." ”

Tang Suzong said: "Aiqing has something to say, I will not cure your crimes." ”

Chen Xuanli said: "Your Majesty, you are an emperor who loves the people like a son, but now the court has become like this because the traitors in the court and the party are rampant, Your Majesty, Yang Guozhong's family is the culprit." The minister implored His Majesty to punish Yang Guozhong's family for capital crimes, outline the Qing Dynasty's outline, and surely restore the prestige of the country. ”

Tang Suzong was very surprised and said: "Although Guozhong sometimes makes some mistakes, but the crime is not death, I know that the soldiers have a lot of complaints about this matter, but there is no need to kill the prime minister." ”

Chen Xuanli looked at Tang Suzong, at this time, Tang Suzong had not seen the true face of the Yang family, and he was still favoring them. God really has no eyes, Chen Xuanli said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Li Chengwei has harbored evil intentions and conspired to rebel for a long time, during which some people went to the court to denounce his conspiracy, but His Majesty often killed these people, making Li Chengwei more and more powerful and uncontrolled, so that the treacherous plan succeeded, so that His Majesty fled." Therefore, the emperors of the previous generations wanted to extend the visit of loyal and good people to publicize the public, which is for this reason. The minister still remembers that when Song Jing was the prime minister, he dared to make a direct admonition, so the world was safe and sound. But since then, the ministers in the court have been taboo to speak out, and only blindly flatter and please Your Majesty, so Your Majesty does not know what is happening outside the palace gate. Those subjects who were far away from the imperial court knew that there would be today, but due to the strict palace restrictions and far away from His Majesty, the allegiance could not be reached. If it weren't for Li Chengwei's rebellion, things would have reached this point, how could this minister see His Majesty and tell it in person! And the person who deceived the Holy Hearing is the treacherous Yang Guozhong, Your Majesty must think twice. ”

Xuanzong said: "It's all my fault, but it's too late to regret it." You go down first, and think twice about it. ”

When Chen Xuanli walked out of the camp, he saw Yang Guozhong reprimanding his sergeants, several of whom had been tied up and were about to be whipped.

Chen Xuanli immediately became angry and shouted: "Yang Guozhong, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Guozhong was taken aback by this shout, and when he saw that it was Chen Xuanli, he said angrily: "Chen Xuanli, do you want to rebel?" How dare you call this official by his name? What is your attitude? ”

At this time, the kidnapped soldiers suddenly shouted: "Yang Guo, you traitor, you can't die well." ”

Chen Xuanli couldn't hold back any longer, drew his sword and shouted: "Yang Guozhong deceived the Holy Hearing and framed Zhongliang, everyone who is a traitor and a rebel will be punished, come on, Yang Guozhong wants to rebel, kill him for me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers responded one after another, and all the soldiers shouted: "Yang Guozhong rebelled and killed him." ”

Yang Guozhong ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, and several of his entourage escorts were hacked to death by soldiers in a blink of an eye.

Yang Guozhong found a horse and was about to flee on horseback, Chen Xuanli pulled his bow and shot an arrow directly into the horse's leg, Yang Guozhong fell off the horse in embarrassment and was surrounded by soldiers.

Yang Guozhong immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, and said tremblingly: "General Chen, I know it's wrong. I have eyes without beads, and my mouth does not choose words. Please spare my life. ”

Chen Xuanli came directly to Yang Guozhong with a knife, and said hatefully: "This is to avenge the 200,000 soldiers who died in Tongguan, Gao Xianzhi and other loyal ministers. ”

After saying that, Yang Guozhong begged for mercy before he could say anything, Chen Xuanli cut off his head with a knife. The soldiers under his command also stepped forward one after another, one by one, and cut Yang Guozhong into several pieces alive.

Tang Suzong heard the commotion outside and asked Li Fuguo, "What's going on outside?" Li Fuguo took it out and looked at it, and came back and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Guozhong rebelled and has been killed by the soldiers. ”

Tang Suzong was taken aback when he heard it and said, "The prime minister is dead? How could the prime minister rebel? There must be some misunderstanding. ”

Li Fuguo said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers said that Yang Guozhong rebelled, then it must be Yang Guozhong who rebelled, Your Majesty hurry up to appease the emotions of the soldiers." Now that the mood of the soldiers is high, His Majesty must reward them, saying that they have meritorious service in punishing thieves. ”

At this time, Chen Xuanli had already led the sergeants to the front of the military tent and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Guozhong's secret rebellion has been killed by us, please Your Majesty will investigate." ”

Tang Suzong's body was shocked, he barely stabilized his body, walked out, and saw that the soldiers in front of him were all fierce, and the swords were completely unsheathed, and the momentum was violent. Tang Suzong said: "Chen Xuanli has done a good job, you are all my most loyal soldiers, Yang Guozhong deserves his crimes, and he should be killed." You're doing a good job, so let's all disperse. ”

Chen Xuanli did not leave, and said: "Yang Guozhong was executed for rebellion, Concubine Yang Hui should no longer serve Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can cut off your love and put Concubine Yang Hui to death." ”

Tang Suzong's face changed, Concubine Hui was the love of his life, and letting him kill Concubine Hui was more uncomfortable than killing him, but now looking at the looks of the soldiers, if he didn't kill Concubine Hui, I am afraid that this matter would not settle down at all.

Seeing Tang Suzong's hesitant face, Li Fuguo whispered in Suzong's ear: "Now that everyone is angry, the situation is very critical, and the safety is in a moment, I hope Your Majesty will make a decision quickly!" ”

Tang Suzong said to Chen Xuanli: "Concubine Hui lives in a heavily guarded palace and does not associate with outsiders, how can she know that Yang Guozhong is plotting rebellion?" Although Yang Guozhong rebelled, but the crime was not as good as Concubine Hui, so the soldiers should not force me anymore. ”

Chen Xuanli said: "Your Majesty, the Yang family is all a disaster to the country and the people, although Concubine Yang Hui did not rebel, but over the years, Your Majesty has been obsessed with women and ignored the government, is it not that Your Majesty has woken up now and wants to protect Concubine Hui?" ”

Li Fuguo said: "Although Concubine Yang Hui is not guilty, the soldiers have already killed Yang Guozhong, if Concubine Hui is still serving on His Majesty's left and right, how can they rest assured!" I hope Your Majesty will think about it, if the soldiers are not at peace, Your Majesty may not be safe. Your Majesty should think twice! ”

Tang Suzong looked around, and none of the guards and ministers around him spoke for him, and said with a long sigh: "I have to deal with this matter personally, and I will definitely give the soldiers a satisfactory answer, okay?" ”

Chen Xuanli saw that Tang Suzong agreed, and he couldn't be aggressive anymore, so he retreated with the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
