Li Ang and the others set out from Shanzhou and walked for more than a month before arriving in Chang'an. Because the emperor had a decree to sacrifice the captive army to enter the city through the Mingde Gate, and when they arrived outside Chang'an City, Li Ang and they had to spend half a day around the Mingde Gate in the south to enter the city.

Inside the Mingde Gate is Suzaku Street, which is more than 150 meters wide. The wide streets have long been crowded with people, and as the most controversial figure, Li Ang, has attracted much attention.

The gambling house in Chang'an City opened a handicap, and those who bought Li Ang and were convicted after returning to Beijing were eager for the Criminal Department to immediately come and put Li Ang in prison, and some people who made big bets even made a big noise:

"Kill, pay for your life!"

"Kill, pay for your life!"

"Kill, pay for your life!"

They raised their fists together and shouted in rhythmic unison, moving their fists up and down while their upper bodies turned back and forth, as if they were dancing, in this way, they tried to create public pressure so that things could develop in the direction of Leon's conviction.

The person who bought Li Ang and was sealed is gone, do you know how to shout? It is said that the emperor said that he would give Li Ang a purple robe, so everyone shouted while dancing and dancing:

"You don't see, Huo Biyao! Rampant Qinghai night with a knife, west slaughter stone fort to take purple robe! ”

"You don't see, Huo Biyao! Rampant Qinghai night with a knife, west slaughter stone fort to take purple robe! ”

"You don't see, Huo Biyao! Rampant Qinghai night with a knife, west slaughter stone fort to take purple robe! ”

The person who shouted for his life and the person who shouted for the purple robe were evenly matched, the east mountain could not overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind could not overwhelm the east wind. Everyone wants to suppress the momentum of the other.

Because of the gambling game, Li Ang was convicted or sealed. It is no longer his personal matter, but it is already related to the vital interests of thousands of ordinary people in Chang'an.

Spacious Suzaku Street. The crowd was surging, and the shouts were higher and higher, and as a party, Li Ang frowned.

Those who gamble will not be simple characters, and some may even be relatives of the emperor. For their own benefit, they are likely to find ways to influence Leon's fate. What is already complicated enough is made even more complicated.

Li Longji, who came to the Vermilion Bird Gate, was upset because of the awkward quarrel with Yang Guifei, and heard the tidal shouts on the Vermilion Bird Street. I was even more irritable, so I ordered the Jinwuwei soldiers to bullet along the street and expel the people who were shouting happily, and now it was finally much quieter.

The so-called sacrifice of prisoners does not refer to the courtiers to dedicate the prisoners brought back to the emperor, but really refers to the emperor's taking prisoners of war to the Taimiao Temple to dedicate to his ancestors.

In ancient times, the ritual of sacrificing prisoners was bloody, and those prisoners of war were often killed as sacrificial offerings. Nowadays, there are very few prisoner killings in the ceremonies. The main thing is to let the prisoners of war go bare-chested and pull them to kneel down in front of the temple to make a show.

The emperor would personally go to the temple to burn incense and pray, and tell his ancestors about his merits.

Of course, telling the ancestors is false. Tell the people of the world that it is true to leave it in the annals of history.

If it was in normal times, Li Longji would definitely send someone to sacrifice on his behalf. However, after having an awkward quarrel with Yang Guifei, he was in a panic in the palace. He personally came to the temple to preside over the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

In front of the magnificent Taimiao, the guards with distinct armor are lined up. Flags fluttering. Hundreds of captives knelt naked and tied in strings in front of the temple.

In a burst of ceremonial music, the emperor was dressed in a gown, the crown was solemn and atmospheric, under the guard of the ceremonial officials and attendants, he walked into the big temple, the pomp was so big, and people were full of anger when they saw it.

Li Ang and Wang Zhongji had the honor to follow the emperor into the temple to participate in the most important part of the sacrifice ceremony, which was a very honorable thing for a courtier.

Li Ang thought that after Li Longji sacrificed the prisoners, he would meet him and Wang Zhonghe, at least he would have to go through the motions!

However, what Li Ang didn't expect was that Li Longji went back to Daming Palace after offering prisoners, and only asked Gao Lishi to comfort Wang Zhongsi and Li Ang a few words, and the specific reward would not be announced until the early dynasty three days later.

Li Longji's anticlimactic style is somewhat chilling.

Li Ang didn't know that this was because Li Longji and Yang Guifei had an awkward quarrel and were very depressed, and thought that it was because he killed Dong Yanguang, which made the emperor unhappy.

In any case, at least the emperor didn't throw himself directly into prison, which was a good thing for Leon.

After the prisoner was sacrificed, Li Ang returned to his home on Chunfeng Street in Chongrenfang, Nangong Ziyan, Li Xiazi and others were happy and worried, and they couldn't help but ask for warmth.

Then Li Ang instructed Li Xiazi: "Sir, send someone to Tongyifang to send a letter to the little lady, tomorrow, ask her to go to Xuandu Temple, I have something to discuss with her." ”

"Okay, Lang Jun." After Li Xiazi finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ordered his subordinates to go.

Li Ang looked at the sky, it was not early, and he was about to close the door, Nangong Ziyanfu said: "Li Lang, you have been working hard all the way on the saddle horse, the slave has prepared hot water, Li Lang will go to bathe and change clothes first." ”

Li Ang took her hand and said softly, "Wait, before the curfew, I will send someone to help me deliver another letter." ”

Nangong Ziyan saw that there was still something to do, so he didn't dare to force it, Li Ang went to his study, hurriedly wrote a letter to Yang Zhao, and sent it to someone.

Li Ang thought about it alone in the study, this time the matter seemed to be a little out of control, but no matter what, he did not regret killing Dong Yanguang, because Dong Yanguang had lost his mind, and he might give you an arrow at any time, where could he prevent so much.

The reason why Li Ang was worried that things were out of control was because he had just learned that Yang Guifei had been kicked out of the palace.

Li Ang originally hoped that the Yang family could help him, but now that Yang Guifei has been kicked out of the palace, Wu Yang is now afraid that he will be overwhelmed and take care of himself.

If there is no Yang family to help intercede, then this time it will be really dangerous.

Li Ang was in such a hurry to send someone to send a letter to Yang Zhao to make an appointment, just hoping to change the situation.

Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of street drums, which meant that the door was about to close. The sound of the drums woke up Li Ang, and he got up to take a bath, when Wu Xiaole came in and reported: "Lang Jun, there is a carriage outside the door, saying that it is sent by Mrs. Qiu's mansion to pick up Lang Jun to discuss matters." ”

Mrs. Qiuguo? Li Ang said in his heart, this girl is in a hurry, so let's go over and take a look first. He said to Nangong Ziyan, who was serving beside him: "Ziyan, I have to go to Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion, and I have to ask her to help intercede when I kill Dong Yanguang." ”

Nangong Ziyan saw that as soon as he got home, he contacted this and that, knowing that the matter was urgent, the Yang family's holy favor was long, although the concubine was sent out of the palace, but the title was not abolished, which means that the emperor still thinks of the concubine, if he can ask Mrs. Qiuguo to intercede, it is very commendable.

"Li Lang, go quickly, slave waiting for Li Lang's good news."

"Well, you don't have to worry, I'll go back as soon as I go."

After Li Ang finished speaking, he went directly to the front yard, where a luxurious carriage was parked and seven or eight servants from the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu. After Li Ang got into the car, the carriage immediately drove towards the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu.
