Chapter 420: Going out and seeing hell

An Lushan came to the city of Chang'an, looked up at the gate of Chang'an, behind him is a piece of black pressure, as the saying goes, people to 10,000 boundless banks, behind him hundreds of thousands of troops, like ant colonies as boundless.

The captain who was guarding the city had already reported to the captain, and the captain informed the general that the general was in the Daming Palace at the moment.

"Your Majesty, An Lushan has personally led the army to Chang'an City, please make a decision!" General Xingzhang is the commander of the Zuo Yulin Army in the forbidden army, and is full-time for the deployment and patrol control of Chang'an City.

Li Longji was already frightened at this time, he was no longer the high-spirited and heroic Emperor His Majesty back then, and now he had become mediocre and timid in advance.

"Quick...... Just go! In any case, An Lushan can't be allowed to enter Chang'an City! The forbidden army is all dispatched! Li Longji said eagerly with a wave of his big hand, his eyes full of confusion and horror.

"Yes!"

General Zhang was ordered to leave the Golden Palace.

"Colliers! Colliers!! ”

After General Zhang left, Li Longji called out to Gao Lishi.

A burly figure ran in quickly outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the minions are here!"

"Colliers! Immediately inform the crown prince Li Heng and my beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan, and let the two of them come to see me immediately! Li Longji said eagerly.

Colliers took the order and walked out quickly.

The crown prince Li Heng was studying An Lushan's marching formation in the East Palace, when a small eunuch hurriedly ran in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Gonggong Gao came to let you enter the palace, and it seems that he is in a hurry." The little eunuch hurriedly said.

Li Heng nodded, and rushed to Daming Palace without delay.

Yunu was watering flowers in the yard at this time, and Ruyi came to report that it was summoned by His Majesty, and Yunu put down the kettle and rushed to Daming Palace.

The two felt in the Daming Palace at the same time, and Li Longji escaped from the palace with the two of them, plus Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong, as well as everyone in the palace, and prepared to rush to Lingzhou.

The ridiculous thing is that the king of a country, the first reaction of the rebel soldiers when they came to the city was to flee, such an emperor was really a monarch in vain.

Several people took out the Xuanwu Gate and came to the outside of the palace, the people on the street were already scared, they were very afraid that An Lushan would indiscriminately kill innocents after entering Chang'an City, so now the streets are very chaotic, and the people have dragged their families and mouths to the direction of the city gate to escape from Chang'an City.

Li Longji and the others looked at the panicked people and were silent for a long time, Li Longji was already very old, he didn't show any expression after seeing it, all he was thinking about now was to escape.

But the crown prince Li Heng is different, he is not indifferent, thinking of the prosperity of Chang'an City in the past and the smiling faces of the people and their happy life, but look at the present, the people who were originally rich have become happy at this time, and they want to escape from here like lost dogs, escape from the most prosperous city in the world.

This is not to blame the people, they have no power to fight back in the face of An Lushan's army, they just want to be safe, An Lushan may burn and loot after entering the city, he can only have a chance to live if he leaves.

Li Heng couldn't stand it anymore, he felt that as the king of a country, it was really against the way of the Son of Heaven to abandon the people like this, how could such an emperor govern the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Erchen has decided to stay." The crown prince Li Heng suddenly stood up and bowed down and said, calling not his father but His Majesty.

"What?! You're going to stay?! Li Longji thought he had misheard.

"Yes, Erchen, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, should set an example for the whole world, Erchen can't abandon the people in front of him, Erchen decides to stay, whether he lives or dies depends on the will of God." Li Heng said resolutely.

"No! You must go with me, leave Chang'an for Lingzhou, and join the Lingzhou army. Li Longji rejected Li Heng's proposal with a wave of his hand.

But Li Heng was still unmoved, he felt that his father had changed too much, in the past, he had an outstanding demeanor and was very angry, and the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty were faintly more than the prosperity of the Zhenguan period, but now he has become mediocre, timid, and confused.

Li Heng didn't want to say anything to his father, so he turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate, without looking back.

Li Longji was indifferent no matter how he shouted Li Heng, and finally Li Longji gritted his teeth and left Li Heng to flee with the forbidden army alone.

However, it is said that when Li Heng came to the city gate tower, there was a sudden earth-shattering crash, and then the vermilion city gate of Chang'an City, which had always been standing, collapsed, and countless soldiers jumped in and shouted the four words surrender or kill.

The people of Chang'an City immediately became chaotic, they wanted to escape from here, the shouts were endless, and the prince Li Heng was also pushed by the crazy crowding of these people, it was impossible for him to go to the city gate, and he had no choice but to follow the people to flee backwards.

A tall black horse passed through the city gate at this time, and immediately a burly man sat on it, with a beard on his face, a man in his fifties, dark skin and a fierce face, this person was An Lushan.

"Pass the order, don't hurt the people of Chang'an, our target is the palace, it's Yang Guozhong and Li Longji, the two bastards." An Lushan said to the soldiers not far away.

After receiving the order, the soldier quickly gave the order.

The commotion gradually stopped, and everyone also heard An Lushan's order, and the order also mentioned that the people could go home separately, and he An Lushan would never harass them or touch them at all.

The crown prince Li Heng also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, since the people were okay, then he could also go to Lingzhou, and it would be much faster for him to go alone than to follow Li Longji's army to Lingzhou, but now was not the time to go out of the city, he could only wait until night to go out of the city.

An Lushan's army came directly to the Vermilion Bird Gate along the Vermilion Bird Avenue all the way, and there were still some forbidden troops left behind in the Vermilion Bird Gate, and they already knew that His Majesty the Emperor had fled, so they directly opened the Suzaku Gate to let An Lushan enter the palace.

Li Longji had already fled Chang'an City with Yang Guozhong, Yang Yuhuan and a group of harem concubines, and now he is afraid that he has already left the city.

An Lushan came to the Taiji Palace, looking at the golden dragon chair in the middle of the golden hall, the dragon chair was shining and seemed to be tempting An Lushan, as if to say come on, come on, as long as you sit here, you will have the world, you will have everything.

An Lushan looked at the dragon chair with disdain, and the young emperors died for it, how many brothers turned against each other because of it, it is the most precious chair in the world, and it is also the most cruel chair in the world.

An Lushan did not sit on the dragon chair and turned around and left the Taiji Hall directly, and went directly to the Golden Hall of Daming Palace.

Daming Palace is the place where the emperor meets in the early dynasty and the annual court, and there is also a dragon chair here, and it is big and magnificent.

The main hall was empty, except for the carved beams and paintings and the golden dragon around the pillars, and An Lushan sat directly on the dragon chair.

It's not that he doesn't love power, every man loves power, but he knows what the price behind this power is.

After sitting for a while, An Lushan got up again, because this dragon chair is not comfortable at all, not to mention that you have to straighten your back to sit on it, there is no arc at all, the cold seat is like ice, and you will definitely get back disease if you sit on the dragon chair for a long time.

The design of the dragon chair is not for comfort and enjoyment, but its design is deliberately to make the people sitting on it uncomfortable, the more uncomfortable the better, because this can always remind those who sit on it and want to sit on it, this seat is not easy to sit, you want to sit on it to bear the consequences and responsibilities of sitting up. ……
