readx; The news that An Lushan's army crossed the Yellow River made Li Yu feel extremely shocked, if there was still a Tongguan natural danger in the east of the river to prevent An Lushan from entering Guanzhong, then once he crossed the Yellow River, he could go south from the states in Guannei and enter Guanzhong, which was tantamount to a wolf entering the house and adding another fire to the chaotic situation in Guanzhong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yu was anxious, turned his head to look at Li Yu, Li Yu has been pondering silently, he did not show surprise like Li Yu, An Lushan crossed the Yellow River in his expectation, although the army guarding Tongguan is weak, but as long as the retreat does not fight, it is difficult for An Lushan to enter the pass, but once An Lushan crosses the Yellow River, the problem will be troublesome, Shuo has no soldiers, all the armies are gathered in Guanzhong, Guannei Road is empty, if An Lushan occupies the north of Guannei Road, then Guanzhong, Chang'an is undoubtedly like Mount Tai overpower, the court is in danger.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to drive An Lushan back to the east of the Yellow River, and you can ask Li Qing'an for assistance and ask him to block An Lushan's troops."

"Li Qing'an, will he?"

"Yes! Definitely, as long as he thinks he is a clan and thinks he is the king of Zhao, he will definitely deal with An Lushan, one mountain does not allow two tigers, in fact, he does not need His Majesty's decree, he will definitely send troops, but His Majesty's decree is more justifiable, he can be tied to His Majesty, if Xingqing Palace preemptively gives an order, it will be troublesome. ”

Li Yu nodded, "I understand, I will issue an edict immediately." ”

Li Yu immediately issued an order, named Li Qing'an as the pacification envoy of the North Guannei Province, and inspected the states in the Guannei, which was actually to order him to lead the army to meet An Lushan, and to seal Pei Min, the secretary of the household department, as the imperial historian, and went to Li Qing'an's army to issue an edict.

But this decision was not enough, in order to prevent An Lushan from taking advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong and openly rebelling, Li Yu decided to negotiate peace with his imperial grandfather and find a compromise that was acceptable to both parties to concentrate his forces against An Lushan.

．．．．．．．． Xingqing Palace, these Li Longji are also in a kind of anxiety and nervousness, he got the news that Li Xuan, the king of Shu, has arrived at the former army camp, but it is precisely because of his appearance that Gao Xianzhi, who has a rapid offensive momentum, suddenly slowed down the offensive, stationed in Baoji Mountain south of Chencang, and then refused to move troops easily, which made Li Longji hate it to the root of his teeth, he knew that his thirteenth son was not actually cautious with soldiers, but refused to work hard for him, in order to preserve his strength, and Li Mao in Hanzhong also fought a battle as a symbol, and stopped at a shallow taste, It is also to preserve strength.

Li Longji had a fire in his heart, but it was difficult to speak, so he had to sigh and say to Gao Lishi: "These two sons of mine lack the courage to do great things, especially Thirteen Lang, who has an army of 100,000 people, but they are afraid of their hands and feet, and they can't achieve great things!" ”

"Emperor, it's better to make peace with the emperor and grandson!" Colliers cautiously suggested.

"Peace?" Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi vigilantly, and said unhappily: "How to negotiate peace?" Will he give way to me? I think you're getting older and more confused, and you don't even have the most basic judgment. ”

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji's paranoia, although he was not as dull and stubborn as when he was sick, but he was not at all the same person as the young emperor who was full of advice and vigor in the Kaiyuan period, and it was really difficult to persuade him, but Gao Lishi still wanted to try.

"But the emperor, after all, he is your grandson, and his throne is the continuation of the Tang Dynasty, but if the country is stolen by An Lushan and others, it will be the misfortune of my Tang Dynasty, the emperor, we can't fight inwardly to benefit foreign thieves!"

"You think too much, An Lushan is just a clown who jumps off the beam, you don't have to take him to heart, you have to worry about the anti-grandson to consider, I just say a word, if the anti-grandson doesn't step down, I will never give up."

Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji was obsessed, so he had to sigh and say, "The emperor should go out for a walk!" It is not good for the health to be in the room for a long time, and the old slave accompanies the emperor to the back garden for a walk. ”

"It's good! I also want to bask in the sun, you can come with me! ”

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a faint shout outside, Li Longji frowned, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and see, what's going on?" ”

The eunuch rushed out, and after a while, he came back and hurriedly said: "The emperor, it is the saint who has come up, just outside the palace, and he asks to see the emperor." ”

"What is he here for? Missing! ”

Li Longji suddenly became angry, and shouted to the left and right: "Go!" Give him to me and drive him away, I don't have such a grandson. ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly persuaded: "Emperor, let's see you!" When he comes at this time, there must be something important, so it is better to listen to what he has to say, and then the emperor will make a decision. ”

Li Longji sneered repeatedly: "Hmph! He sent troops to besiege me, he no longer misses the love of his ancestors and grandchildren, why should I give in, I would rather die in Xingqing Palace than see him again, tell him to get out! ”

"The emperor is angry, maybe he is here to make concessions, the emperor will listen to what he has to say first, and then it will not be too late to drive him away."

Li Longji's face turned a little pale, and he said to Gao Lishi: "Then go and listen to what he has to say!" I will never see him again, you tell him, I am ashamed to see him as a bully of the clan. ”

"Alright! The old slave went to take a look first. ”

Gao Lishi had no choice but to walk quickly outside the palace.

．．．．．．．．． In the square in front of the Xingqing Palace, Li Yu knelt in front of the steps, his waist straight, and said loudly over and over again: "Please ask the emperor's grandfather to see his grandson, there is a big matter to discuss!" ”

Several eunuchs next to him were frightened, several times to help him, but he pushed away, in any case, he must persuade the imperial grandfather today, stop the infighting, unanimously external, if the imperial grandfather can launch a new emperor that he can accept, then he can give up this throne, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty long-term rule and eternal peace, in order to completely solve the problem of land annexation that caused the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, he would rather give up this throne, but also let the imperial grandfather know that he is for the sake of the ancestors laid down the country, and by no means want to be nostalgic for this throne.

"Please ask the emperor's grandfather to see his grandson, there is a big matter to discuss!"

At this time, Gao Lishi walked out quickly, and he heard Li Yu's voice from afar, and he sighed secretly in his heart, such a good grandson, such a good emperor, Li Longji was determined to drive him down, and kept saying that it was because he violated the interests of the clan, but in fact, it was still a 'right!' The word is making trouble, Li Longji sees that the person who is about to enter the earth, but he can't see through this word of power, he wants to sit on this throne and rest until he dies, but he doesn't care about the flood behind him.

Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yu up, "Holy Lord, get up!" ”

Li Yu stubbornly shook his head and said, "Gao Weng, I want to have an interview with the emperor's grandfather and talk about the fate of the Tang Dynasty, if he doesn't come to see me, I will never get up." ”

Gao Lishi sighed again and said: "Your imperial grandfather is old, he is tired, if there is anything, you tell me, I will go and tell him and persuade him." ”

"Gao Weng, the Tang Dynasty Sheji has reached the time of life and death, internal and external troubles, persuasive people's hearts, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have a great responsibility, if the emperor's grandfather thinks I am incompetent, then we can discuss, jointly elect a virtuous clan, and elect a new emperor who can lead the Tang Dynasty out of the predicament, then I can abdicate, Gao Weng, I came today to talk to the emperor's grandfather about these things, and ask the emperor's grandfather to consider it."

"Alright! I'll go and tell your imperial grandfather, but don't kneel, stand up! ”

"Nope! I must wait for him to come to see me, this is my sincerity. ”

Gao Lishi shook his head, and had to enter the palace again, as soon as he entered the palace, Li Longji asked coldly: "Did he promise to abdicate?" ”

"Emperor, the Holy One said that he wanted to meet with you, and now the situation is worrying, I hope you can give up your differences for the time being, and then sit down and talk, and jointly nominate a new emperor that you can both accept, the Emperor, the Holy One is very sincere!"

"Sincerity? Hum! Li Longji disdained Li Yu's sincerity and said: "I have been in power for more than 40 years, and I still don't understand this little trick of his, first coax me to give in, and then regret it after he has achieved his goal, does he think I am really old and confused?" A few good words on the lips are sincerity? Go and tell him that if he is really sincere, he will return the confiscated property to the clan, return all the goods and grain that he has stolen, and then publicly issue an edict to the world, so that I will trust his sincerity, otherwise I will have nothing to say to him. ”

Gao Lishi's eyes showed a sad look, he really couldn't understand why Li Longji became so stubborn, and put forward the conditions that Li Yu could not agree to, let him return the land, return the grain, and go back on his word, which would lose the hearts of the people in the world, and Li Longji was insincere.

Gao Lishi was helpless, walked out of the palace again, and came to Li Yu's side, he squatted down and persuaded: "Holy Lord, listen to the old slave!" Go back and deal with the tricky things first, it's hard for you to convince your imperial grandfather on his side, so forget it! ”

"What did my imperial grandfather say?" Li Yu asked stubbornly.

"Your imperial grandfather has made a condition for you to return the land, money, and grain, and return all the things you have taken from the clan, and then issue an edict to the world, and he will be able to forgive you, but then talk to you about the new emperor."

Li Yu lowered his head, his heart was in pain, he didn't expect that the imperial grandfather would put forward such a harsh condition, he couldn't accept the condition at all, he finally gritted his teeth, and said: "As long as the imperial grandfather accepts the reform of my acres of land, I can make another compromise, and he will appoint the new emperor, but I will give me a year, let me completely reverse the land annexation, return the land to the peasants, one year, I only need one year, and then return the throne to him." ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Gao Weng! Please go and tell the Imperial Grandfather. ”

"Alright! You wait. ”

Gao Lishi returned to the hall again, Li Longji had already gotten up, and with the support of Wu Ruiniang, he was ready to go back to the inner palace to rest, and when he saw Gao Lishi coming in, he sneered: "Is he leaving?" ”

"No, he is willing to make another compromise and have the emperor appoint a new emperor, but give him a year to settle the land annexation issue."

"No way!" Li Longji categorically refused, "You tell him that he doesn't want to use delaying tactics to coax me, and he doesn't need to worry about it, I will solve it, if he doesn't want to go back on his word, don't want to make an edict against himself, okay!" I don't need him to make an edict for himself, I will do it for him, but the premise is that he must abdicate tomorrow, this is my bottom line, and I cannot give in. ”

After speaking, Li Longji helped Wu Ruiniang into the inner hall, and never looked back, Gao Lishi watched him disappear in a daze, and finally sighed and walked out of the hall with a depressed expression.

He walked up to Li Yu, helped him up, and shook his head, "Your imperial grandfather wants you to abdicate tomorrow, and he will do other things for you. ”

Li Yu stood stunned, his mind was blank, he was almost taken out of Xingqing Palace by Gao Lishi, out of Xingqing Palace, Li Yu raised his head, looked at the sky and exhaled a long breath, his last hope of reconciliation was also cut off.

Walking out of Xingqing Palace, Gao Lishi saw that there were no other eunuchs left and right, so he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has a suggestion that can help Your Majesty get out of the predicament." ”

Li Yu's spirits perked up, Gao Lishi is not an ordinary eunuch, his political vision and foresight are not comparable to ordinary people, Li Yu immediately said: "Please advise Gao Weng!" ”

"Since Your Majesty is thinking about the Tang Dynasty, then boldly trust Li Qing'an and let him become Your Majesty's most powerful foreign aid, Your Majesty should not avoid his identity, but use his power to eradicate An Lushan and eradicate the feudal king, and then you can sit down and talk again, and find a plan that is acceptable to both of you, so that you can keep a little foundation for Datang Zhongxing, old slave advice, please think carefully."

After speaking, Gao Lishi hurriedly walked back to Xingqing Palace.

．．．．．．． Thousands of Imperial Forest Army escorted Li Yu's dragon chariot on the street slowly, Li Yu was thinking about Gao Lishi's suggestion, in fact, this suggestion is similar to the master Li Yu's opinion, all say that now Li Qing'an is the only force to unify the Tang Dynasty, in the dead of night he also thinks, Suo surname to give up the throne to Li Qing'an, he took his wife and children to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion, to live that kind of carefree pastoral life, no worries about state affairs, no worries about military chaos, but Li Yu also knows that this is just an unrealistic fantasy, history has already told him, Any unnatural change of emperors, all of them are rivers of blood, cutting grass and roots, he gave up the throne to Li Qing'an, Li Qing'an will inevitably kill his whole family, even Gao Lishi's suggestion will not work, once Li Qing'an destroys the foreign domain, it means that he completely controls the Tang Dynasty, and it is a luxury that he can retreat with his whole body.

At this time, he thought of the harsh conditions put forward by the imperial grandfather, which was nothing more than to make his clan admit his mistake and resume the land annexation, how could it be! Li Yu then remembered Li Yan's words to persuade him, and confiscated Princess Huoguo's land and family wealth, since he has taken this step, then don't expect the clan to forgive him, Li Yan is right, since he has done it, he will be ruthless to the end, grab as much food and money as possible, and recruit soldiers for himself.

At this moment, Li Yu made up his mind, as long as he had an army of 500,000 in his hands, and then used Guo Ziyi and other veterans to command, he could sweep away Li Qing'an, An Lushan, King Shu, King Jing, and King Wu.

Li Yu's heart suddenly brightened, he was eager to go back to Daming Palace, and when he was about to arrive at Daming Palace, a guard reported in Longlin: "Your Majesty, Zuo Xiang Wang Heng has an urgent matter to see!" ”

Li Yu nodded, "Please ask Wang Xiangguo to go to my imperial study to see you." ”
