30. The palace is a small wall, and the eunuchs are auxiliary to the country
One day and one night, after many changes, I didn't eat well and sleep well, and there was a burst of sourness in the empty belly of the swallow, and when I thought of Guo Hua spitting out the taste of mutton at himself, I immediately retched.
"Hahahaha, give!" Guo Yu saw that Xian Yuyan was retching, and hurriedly handed him a water bladder and a packet of dried meat. When the prosecutor came out of the hall, he brought a lot of dried meat with him to make dry food, and Guo Hua changed his clothes, but these were still left on his body.
"Hey. That Shengping County Lord, it's interesting to you!" Xian Yuyan said while chewing on the jerky.
Guo Yu didn't answer, but smiled. Looking back at the red sun gradually appearing on the top of the mountain, the morning glow reflected his face.
Since then, it has been a smooth journey. The men and horses of the king of Guangping arrived at Tongguan before noon, had lunch, rested for a while, and then opened again, and finally arrived in Chang'an at dusk.
Bian Lingcheng was escorted into the cell of Dali Temple by Dugu Huan, and King Guangping transferred a team of imperial guards to guard it strictly.
People from all walks of life, each with their own thoughts, returned to Chang'an, like a group of fighting fish, swimming into the sea, and the water surface temporarily returned to calm.
King Guangping was preoccupied and was walking on the way to Hanyuan Palace.
Just now, he had already gone to Xingqing Palace and met Emperor Xuanzong.
Over the years, Emperor Xuanzong has treated several emperors and grandsons very magnanimously and benevolently, and between them, there is more joy of family happiness.
Although he also heard some rumors, saying that it was Li Qi, the king of Jianning, who had many complaints about welcoming him back to the court, he still liked the two brothers King Guangping and King Jianning very much.
Probably, he remembered the former prince Li Ying. Although it is said that the monarch and the ministers are ministers, after all, it is a father and son. After Li Ying was given to die, Concubine Wu Hui dreamed of Li Ying's ghost every night, and finally died of palpitations. Thinking about this old emperor, he must have had a heartache at that time.
When Emperor Xuanzong was in his prime, he was extremely narrow and mean to his sons.
Because of the framing of Concubine Wu Hui and the concubine Yang Hui, he arbitrarily deposed the then crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, and the king of light Li Ju as concubines, and soon executed the three of them.
Today's Son of Heaven Li Heng, as the prince of the East Palace, faced himself with trembling and walking on thin ice, that situation is vivid in his mind today, it is really ridiculous.
If it is an ordinary family, children and grandchildren, and many talents, it should be a very proud thing. In the emperor's house, it was a different taste. Brothers, fathers and sons, everything revolves around the "imperial power", the most brilliant, darkest, most wonderful, and most vicious thing in the world.
All those who are around "it" are enemies, and all those who dare to look at "it" a few more times must die.
Old. Over the years, the sky has been a long time, and the war has been going on for many years, so many people and many things have changed their views. Only Gao Lishi took a group of children from the pear orchard, and those little songs are still so beautiful.
Xuanzong, Li Jiao, the king of Guangping summoned in the Calyx Xianghui Building. The old man greeted his grandson and said bluntly: "I asked Gao Qing's family to send an envoy from Zuojie to pick you up." Seeing that your robe is neat and tidy, but your face is very tired, how are you doing along the way?"
Since Taizong, the Taishang Emperor in front of him is the person most respected by Li Jiao, the king of Guangping. He naturally knew how this elderly elder was majestic and heroic. You can't hide anything from him.
King Guangping, just like a child telling his grandfather a newly-known story, told the emperor about the things along the way, 1510.
Emperor Xuanzong also squinted his eyes, smiled, and listened, as if listening to an inconsequential story. He didn't say much, didn't comment on anything, and didn't ask anything more.
In the eyes of an old emperor, everything in the world is just a story of a child's house.
At the time of the meal, the old emperor asked Li Jiao to sit opposite him, and the two grandparents laughed and ate some wine and food.
"You are magnanimous and calm, and over the years of quelling the rebellion, you have become more and more knowledgeable, and you are very relieved in the eyes of the widow. It's just that Ren Xia is straightforward, and his words and deeds are unscrupulous, which makes me worried. Now, not only the traitors are in trouble, but also in the palace forbidden, there are also many people with intentions who are planning and planning. You two brothers can be said to be on the cusp of the storm, and you have to be careful in everything!"
Because of the harsh treatment he received when his father was the crown prince, Li Jiao respected, revered, and even feared Emperor Xuanzong. Like today, the grandfather and grandson chatted about wine, which was only a thing in the past two years.
Hearing the heartfelt teachings of the imperial grandfather, Li Jiao was very moved in his heart, and he was even more emotional, the changes over the years have changed the old man in front of him.
Before he did it, he didn't dare to imagine that these words could come out of the mouth of this prosperous emperor.
Li Li, the king of Guangping, was waiting outside the Danfeng Gate to be summoned.
As the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it is very convenient for him to enter and exit the forbidden palace on weekdays. It's just that it's almost curfew, and there is no urgent military business, so he still prefers to follow the rules.
Personality dictates it, but it also dictates the situation.
Three moments later, news came from the palace, and it was the head of the prosecutor's office who came out to greet him, He Lanshou.
King Guangping looked at Helan Shou, and Helan Shou looked at King Guangping. At this moment, both of them have an illusory illusion, more precisely, they feel a bit ridiculous.
The mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty are all from the Li family, and he is a prince in his own right, the eldest son of the current emperor, who wants to enter the palace to see his father, but he still needs such a slave to lead the way.
At this moment, King Guangping seems to have suddenly discovered something and understood something. The matter in the royal palace is really too delicate and complicated.
No matter how close you are to that position, as long as you are not the emperor, you are a person standing outside the palace and waiting.
Helan Shou seems to have discovered this as well. Along the way, the prince, who was cautious and cautious, had to stand here obediently at this moment, waiting for his own message.
But he is sensible, and he has never been the kind of person who can be hallucinated and washed away by reason. His pride does not come from his status and power. He is a naturally proud person, although he knows very well in his heart that in the eyes of others, he is a eunuch and a dog.
Helan Shou was absolutely loyal to Li Fuguo, but he was very subtle and disdainful of participating in some things, such as his domineering attitude in the face of the royal ministers, such as receiving the lavish banquets of those officials, which he did not like.
His pride is pure, his pride, only the pride in his bones.
Helan Shou was very respectful to Li Jiao, and according to the etiquette of the prince, he gave a salute.
This calmed King Guangping's heart somewhat down, the absurd hallucination just now was really scary, but it was very real. However, he had a lot of good feelings for Helan Shou.
Helan Shou greeted the king of Guangping and walked towards the direction of Hanyuan Palace. After walking for a while, he did not enter the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, but took him to a side hall.
"Lord, the emperor - you——, Lord Li are waiting for you inside!"
There are some things that a naturally proud person can't do. For example, now, Li Jiao, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the king of Guangping, is coming to see the emperor, and he is his father, and what is waiting for him is a high-ranking eunuch-Li Fuguo. He didn't know what to say about it to make it sound less awkward.
Li Fuguo also knows this, it's not just that he can't speak. But he also understands that Helan Shou is loyal to him. Therefore, after Li Fuguo reminded him a few times, he saw that it was difficult for him to grow, so he let him go.
King Guangping understood all these in his heart.
When An Lushan led more than 100,000 troops to kill, Emperor Xuanzong only took the princes and ministers to flee to Bashu.
In Ma Weiyi, thousands of people kept crying and begging the crown prince Li Heng, hoping that they would stay and resist the rebels.
At this time, Li Fuguo, a little eunuch who was only responsible for taking care of the royal horses, couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, he saw an opportunity that he never dared to dream of.
He did something that even the princes and grandsons at that time did not dare to do, instigated the crown prince Li Heng, parted ways with Emperor Xuanzong, and as the crown prince, gathered soldiers and horses from all walks of life to quell the traitors.
Happened.
On Emperor Xuanzong's side, a group of soldiers demanded that the prime minister Yang Guozhong and his favorite concubine Yang Yuhuan be killed, and everyone blamed the two brothers and sisters for the An Lushan rebellion, especially Yang Yuhuan was identified as the culprit of the trouble.
Even the people around him, Chen Xuanli, the general of Longwu, also stood on the side of the protesting soldiers, seeing that a military mutiny was about to break out. Xuanzong still hesitated.
Under the great changes, there are strong troops coming, and people have long lost their reason and judgment.
When the generals saw that Li Fuguo dared to say this, they deeply agreed, and they couldn't help but bow down and agree, asking the prince to be in charge, one to calm the hearts of the people, and the other to pacify the thieves.
Li Heng, who has been the prince for many years, is walking on thin ice, and his mind at the moment is definitely not too simple. At the time, he didn't do much commitment and deployment.
However, soon, Yang Guozhong was slashed and killed by angry soldiers, and it happened and reached Emperor Xuanzong. At the same time, he also learned the news that everyone supported the crown prince Li Heng.
At this time, Emperor Xuanzong woke up from a big dream and realized the seriousness of the problem. It turned out that in the hearts of everyone, he was no longer the emperor who ruled the world and was deeply loved and trusted.
It is said that Xuanzong ordered Gao Lishi to kill his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan with white silk in a situation of extreme grief and helplessness. He also announced the guilt of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, found that the soldiers who killed Yang Guozhong were not guilty, and gave him a rich reward.
Through a series of means, Emperor Xuanzong temporarily stabilized the morale of the army, and was able to lead a group of supporters to continue to Xishu.
And the crown prince Li Heng also made the final decision, Yu Xuanzong parted ways, led the soldiers and officials who supported him, went north to Lingwu, and launched a counterinsurgency operation. Among them, there are Li Li, the king of Guangping, and Li Qi, the king of Jianning.
And among them, the one who won the heart of the crown prince Li Heng the most was the eunuch Li Fuguo, and he really started his career as a soaring official.
In fact, at this time, Li Fuguo's name was still Li Jingzhong. When the crown prince Li Heng and his entourage arrived in Lingwu, or were still in Maweiyi, when Li Fuguo proposed to support the prince to raise troops to quell the rebellion, the prince gave him a new name - Li Huguo.
Before this, the crown prince Li Heng did not have the power to control the army, and his participation in court affairs was also subject to various restrictions. Li Fuguo supported the crown prince Li Heng to command the world and gather troops and horses from all walks of life to quell the rebellion, which was tantamount to seizing power from Emperor Xuanzong.
Moreover, his behavior did bring results that he couldn't think of before, and the crown prince Li Heng's trust in Li Fuguo was unimaginable, and even gradually turned into dependence.
Soon after arriving in Lingwu, Li Fuguo made another statement, encouraging the crown prince Li Heng to establish himself as emperor, saying that in this way, he could pacify the world more and bring hope of rejuvenation to the people and military ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
Presumably, during this period of time, the psychology of the crown prince Li Heng has also undergone tremendous changes. Or, when he was the crown prince, the cautious and respectful he showed showed that he was a calm and ambitious person.
Although the crown prince Li Heng has always maintained his respect for the authority of his father Emperor Xuanzong, without any arrogant words, he has changed his hesitant and ambiguous attitude in the past, and actively responded to the support of Li Fuguo and other cadres, announcing his ascension to the throne and becoming the emperor, changing the name of the country to Zhide, and respecting Xuanzong as the emperor from afar.
Suzong's title of emperor was really fruitful, and all parts of the Tang Dynasty quickly set off an upsurge of serving the country and resisting the enemy, and many festivals and generals gathered Lingwu to support Suzong.
There were two emperors in the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong and Suzong, and a total of two days.
If you count An Lushan, the Great Yan Emperor who was the emperor in Luoyang, there were a total of three emperors on the territory of the Tang Dynasty at that time, with two surnamed dynasties.
Soon after Suzong became emperor, he changed the name of Li Huguo to Li Fuguo, and added the title of Marshal's Mansion to the marching Sima, which mastered the military power to a certain extent.
In the second year of Zhide, Suzong actively launched a decisive battle with the rebels and vowed to recover the two capitals.
In September of the same year, the world's soldiers and horses were the deputy marshals of Guangping, Wang Li Li and Guo Ziyi were the middle route army, Li Siye was the front army, Wang Sili was the rear army, and the Hui soldiers and horses were mobile troops, and they fought a decisive battle with the 100,000 rebels of An Lushan in the north of Xiangji Temple in Chang'an.
At the beginning of the battle, the rebel general Li Guiren went out to challenge, inducing Li Siye's former army to go deep alone, and was violently counterattacked, and there was chaos for a while.
Mo Dao general Li Siye shouted: "If you don't fight to the death today, you will definitely be defeated!" After that, he took off his armor, shirtless, took the lead, and took the turn to kill the enemy with a long knife, invincible, until the rebels were shattered and their corpses flew sideways, and blood sprayed.
Li Siye's troops, most of them followed him when he was in the Western Regions, all of them experienced a hundred battles, brave and resolute, the long Mo knife slashed and assassinated, and shocked the 36 countries of the Western Regions, they worshiped Li Siye as a god.
At this moment, seeing the general's courage to take off his armor and fight to the death, everyone's hearts suddenly rekindled, and they followed Li Siye to violently rush to kill the rebels.
For a time, Li Siye's Mo Dao Army rushed to the enemy like a flood.
After half a day of bloody fighting, the rebels suffered 60,000 casualties, and Li Guiren retreated to Chang'an and fled overnight.
Suzong recovered Chang'an.
Probably out of suspicion about the self-respecting frontier generals and jiedu envoys, Suzong began to rely on the power of the eunuchs, and after returning to Chang'an, he named Li Fuguo as the Duke of Yuguo, and added the three divisions of Fuyi.
Su Zong even acquiesced to Li Fuguo's establishment of a procuratorial office to investigate the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, which laid the foundation for Li Tang's later generations.
At this time, Li Fuguo can be described as powerful.
It seems that I won't see my father today. Li Jiao understood in his heart.
Helan Shou said goodbye, and Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, entered the side hall, where Li Fuguo was sitting.
