Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
There were nearly 100 civil and military officials who originally stood under the main hall, and now there are less than 20 people left, and comrades like Zhou Yushi, who claim to be loyal ministers, have long been lost at the eight gates of the imperial city and don't know where to go.
At this moment, Li Zhi, in addition to the more than 20 loyal ministers beside him, there are only two little eunuchs left, and one of the Royal Forest Army has been sent out to defend the city, and now the only one around Li Zhi who can protect him and can be regarded as an armed force may be the little Bomei he raised......
Li Zhi didn't understand, didn't Wu Zetian and Li Ji go out to negotiate? Is this the rhythm of the conversation falling apart?
Otherwise, how could people attack the city in the middle of the night, and the momentum is so huge, the offensive is so fierce, Li Zhi sighed sadly, it seems that if there is no accident, the queen and the heroic martial arts are both braided rhythm, damn, I knew that I would go to talk to others in person, this is good, not only put my wife in, but even I estimate that my life is difficult to protect, well, I have to think of a way.
Otherwise, Li Zhi is the emperor, although his ability to do things is average, but at present, he can be regarded as in danger, but it would be good if his two hands did not tremble.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Li Zhi didn't come up with a reason, and finally set his eyes on the more than 20 ministers of His Royal Highness who were either crying or scolding God for having no eyes, and who couldn't help anyway, and asked for help: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you tell me what I should do now?" โ
There was a Hubu Shangshu who didn't cry, but scolded the street there, stood up and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, since we have no way to escape, why don't Your Majesty personally go into battle with the enemy in armor, and have a good time fighting with the enemy, and leave a name in history in the future, it is not difficult." โ
Li Zhi rolled his eyes directly at this benevolent brother, his words sounded to Li Zhi had one meaning, I said the emperor, why don't you live anyway, just be a hero, and kill him with those enemy soldiers The sun and the moon are turned upside down, and the sun and the moon are gone, and the history books will say that you died on the battlefield, at least it is better than being shot to death by random arrows or hacked to death by random knives when you escape.
After the head of the household finished speaking, another minister soon stood up, the old man silently untied his belt, looked at the beam of the Daming Palace, and then silently moved a chair, and threw the belt to the beam with trembling hands, and hit a dead button, it seems that he intends to die for the country.
This brother, who is in his fifties, is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and the old scholar looked at Li Zhi with tears on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the capital is broken today, and the old minister is really embarrassed to go to see the first emperor, and he is willing to hang himself in this Daming Palace, and to die Mingzhi, if Your Majesty is willing, you and I will go to Huangquan together, and we will never be prisoners of the thieves." โ
Li Zhi was speechless, I want you to help me think of a way, why don't you just persuade yourself to die, or persuade yourself to die, do you just can't see me alive? According to this posture, the enemy army will not have to enter the palace, and I guess you will be killed in advance.
At this time, the military department Shangshu stood up, also an old man in his fifties, the military department Shangshu looked at Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, for today's plan, let's escape from Chang'an as soon as possible, don't we still have a thousand Xuanjia heavy horses." โ
It seems that this military department secretary is either drinking tea in his office every day, chatting, or taking the position at the back door, and he doesn't even understand this common sense, Li Zhi said helplessly: "Zhang Aiqing, don't mention for the time being whether the enemy army outside the city will set up a heavy siege, do you think the cavalry can run in this narrow street?" What's more, there are more than 1,000 heavy horses, if we really let the Xuanjia heavy horses cover us, why can't we escape from Chang'an.
The soldier's face turned red, and he quickly shut up, and at this moment, the sound of the battle not far away became more intense, and a royal forest sergeant, covered in blood, stumbled into the Daming Palace, and said in a panic: "The emperor ...... Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, the palace city is broken, and the enemy army has come in. โ
"Ahh As soon as Li Zhi heard that the enemy army was coming, he almost rolled off the dragon chair, and the crying in the hall became louder.
"Oh my God, are you really going to die, my Tang Dynasty can't be?!"
"The sky has no eyes, the sky has no eyes."
"Woo woo, the first emperor, the old minister can't stand you, the minister is gone." The Rite Priest cried and immediately put his head into the rope made of his belt, and before that, the Rite Priest looked at his colleagues and said the penultimate sentence, "Colleagues, if you don't want to be a prisoner at the bottom of the stairs, go on the road with the old man." โ
After saying this, Lao Shangshu looked at Li Zhi again, the meaning is obvious, Your Majesty, don't think about it, let's go together, there is a response on the road, but obviously, Li Zhi doesn't plan to die, so he automatically ignores Lao Shangshu's eyes, or he doesn't see it at all.
Listening to the crying in his ears, Li Zhi had no idea at all, so he could only sit on the dragon chair, trembling, waiting for someone to arrest him.
Under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites, four or five officials silently untied their belts, intending to die for the country........ Later, I found out that he went to find Zhou Yushi, as for why.......
Well, because Zhou Yushi has already brought some surrender factions at this time, holding white flags, respectfully welcoming the coalition soldiers into the palace, and very enthusiastically told the coalition soldiers where Li Zhi is, where is the treasure house of the Tang Dynasty, there are many good things in the palace, or that concubine is more beautiful, what should this kind of person be called, it is better to say, it is called a person who knows the times, is it difficult to listen....... The word traitor is a good one.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at the ministers who planned to go on the road with him, and then looked at his colleagues who were kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, and finally glanced at Li Zhi, and then, with tears in his eyes, Lao Shangshu stretched his neck in.
Shangshu belongs to ministerial-level officials in modern times, and everything talks about a leading role, and the same is true for hanging, Lao Shangshu is holding the belief that he will die, just put his neck in, Lao Shangshu kicked down the stool under his feet without saying a word, and then saw him alone where he was dancing and struggling, his eyes were good to pop up, and the officials who followed him to seek death, when he saw that the old leaders were taking the lead in dying, okay, don't talk nonsense, take care of a good family in the next life.
But just when these four or five people were about to kick the stool, another soldier of the Imperial Forest Army ran into the main hall, and the word happy was almost written on his face, only to see him running in front of Li Zhi, and the happy words were not good and said: "Your Majesty....... Exultation...... Great joy. โ
Li Zhi is so angry, Daxi? It's so good to lose the country, I'm glad you are paralyzed.
The soldier ignored Li Zhi's murderous eyes, and continued to take care of himself: "Your Majesty, great joy, the enemy army has retreated. โ
"Withdrawn?" Li Zhiluo stood up from the dragon chair and said in disbelief: "Are you sure they all retreated?" โ
The soldier hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, they retreated, they had just broken through the gate of the palace, and the vanguard army had already killed less than ten miles from here, but I don't know why, they all suddenly withdrew, and the villain pretended to be dead on the side...... That, when I was fighting, I could see it clearly, and now I can't even see the shadow of an enemy army in Miyagi. โ
After listening to the soldier's story, Li Zhi remembered that it seemed that just five minutes ago, the sound of fighting outside the hall had stopped, but at that time he was already on the verge of collapse, so he didn't notice it at all.
Soon after the first soldier arrived, four or five more soldiers came in to report the news, all of which were news of the enemy's withdrawal from Miyagi.
At this moment, Li Xin was sure that the enemy army had really retreated, and the ministers who had not died in the catastrophe wept with joy one by one, shouting in their mouths, "God opens his eyes," I don't know what this group of people thinks, has God offended you? When it's almost over, they will scold God for having no eyes, and then people will be kind, and they will start to say that God is open-eyed, alas....... When I met this group of kings and eight lambs, God was unlucky enough.
As soon as he heard that the enemy army had retreated, he hanged the four or five buddies, did not panic, retracted his neck, stepped off the chair, and joined the ranks of the crying team, Li Zhi was also happy to leave tears, and the household servant (Shangshu ran away) knelt down in front of Li Zhi, and patted his ass and said: "My emperor Shengming, if there is no leadership from His Majesty, my Datang will never be able to defeat the enemy." โ
The members of the crying squad immediately began to echo, "Yes, yes, this is thanks to Your Majesty's calm danger, otherwise how could the thief army retreat, it is all Your Majesty's leadership." โ
Translating the words of the members of the crying squad, it is Li Zhi who drove away hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.
I don't know what this guy is doing, sitting on the dragon chair and waiting for someone to catch him, finally Cao Cao They showed kindness and withdrew the troops, this credit is all due to him Li Zhi, it is estimated that the history books will have to be written like this in the future.
Xianqing three years, a million heroes besieged Chang'an, when the crisis, Emperor Gaozong stepped forward, a wave of his hand, a million enemy troops were forced by Gaozong's mighty heroic posture, hurriedly defeated and retreated, our army won countless pieces, Gaozong one person, even killed the thief army, 1,564 soldiers, 232 people, it is really a miracle of the world.
It's called a history book.
Li Zhi smiled slightly at this, after all, people like to listen to good words and like others to praise themselves, this brother said a few words shamelessly, "False praise and false praise, all of you Aiqing are well assisted." โ
Just as the big guys were celebrating, a faint cry for help reached their ears.
"Save ....... Save me......" Lao Shangshu was strangled by his trouser belt because he was inlet and out of breath, and he was about to die, so it took a lot of effort to say the last sentence of his life.
Lao Shangshu has been babbling for help for a while, but the big guy is either busy crying, or busy patting Li Zhi's ass, or praising God's eyeballs back, who has the kung fu to pay attention to him.
Also, do you think he is willing to die, isn't there no way, seeing that Chang'an is okay at this time, Lao Shangshu quickly wanted to come down, but ...... He really can't get down.
The big guy looked at the source of the sound, and then remembered that there was another hanging, and a group of people dragged Lao Shangshu down cleanly, pay attention, it was dragged, it was a group of people, dragging Lao Shangshu's thighs, and slashing down (I don't know what they thought)
All in all, Lao Shangshu, who was still a little alive, was completely tossed by them to see Lord Yama.
When Lao Shangshu was "dragged" down, his body was cold.
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up and save Liu Shangshu." โ
The household servant probed Liu Laoshangshu's snort, and finally said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Laoshangshu went (originally he couldn't go)
The Ministry of Rites, Liu Longhai, became the unluckiest person who died in this war.
Cause of death: Hanging (premeditated murder by competitors is not ruled out)
