Jin An's army moved and approached Chang'an City.

It seems, they are preparing to storm the city.

The people of Chang'an were panicked, and all the remnants of the soldiers went to defend the city everywhere, and there were still some wounded soldiers and the old and weak.

But Chang'an is still very calm and terrifyingly calm on the surface.

No one said it, but everyone knew it - it was just a façade before the storm, and more intricate undercurrents were surging.

Since Li Zenan returned to the palace, he has not gone to court, and at the beginning, there would be ministers waiting and asking to see him outside the Wangxian Gate, until Jin'an's army really came, no one had the intention of going to the court anymore, and all the ministers were closed, and no one knew what their plans were.

Li Zenan finally took off his golden armor and put on the dragon robe, but at this moment, he suddenly ordered to go to court.

Jin An may attack today, or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so no one knows what is going on with him.

When the decree was sent to the various mansions with great fanfare, most of the ministers panicked, they were planning their own affairs, and they didn't expect Li Zenan to come out like this.

There are very few who can rush to the palace not long after the decree is issued.

Li Zenan sat on the dragon chair with a smile, looking very patiently waiting.

Smoke was rising from the inside of the incense burner, and the gold on all sides was so dazzling that it was freshly cleaned.

As time passed, various panicked ministers entered the palace one after another.

Li Zenan knew very well how many people there were, and he was extremely patient to wait until the number was enough before going to court.

But he didn't go to those mansions at all.

When Xu Jingyi appeared, half an hour had passed, and at this time, only two-thirds of the people had arrived.

After half a burnt incense, Long Jihe appeared, his expression was as usual, and he looked the same as ever.

Li Zenan glanced at him with a smile and said, "At such a critical moment, it is really hard to rely on Lord Shangshu to be busy with political affairs and keep going. ”

"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I will never give up!" The dragon and bow down.

His expression was too calm, calm enough to be normal, and it seemed abnormal.

But not too many people noticed his abnormality, and Li Zenan seemed to be too.

All the ministers finally arrived.

Li Zenan looked down and scanned everyone.

His gaze was as unstoppable as ever, and many people lowered their heads and trembled.

In these last moments, all the careful thinking is understandable, but all the careful thinking is not suitable for Li Zenan to spy on.

As long as he sits on this dragon chair for a day and wears a dragon robe for a day, he will still be His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he will hold the fate of countless people in his hands.

Li Zenan spoke.

"I know that this day has come, and if I don't admit it, I am deceiving myself."

"From today onwards, every time you go to court, it may be the last."

"Maybe many monarchs don't want to see anyone at such a time, they won't go to court, and even if they do, they won't be like what I am now, but they will languish, and even cry out."

"But I don't think it's necessary, as long as I'm still here for a day, the Tang Dynasty will still shine brightly!"

He stopped speaking abruptly, and it seemed that he had finished his previous speech.

He pointed his finger at the handle of the dragon chair, and the father-in-law next to him said in a high-pitched voice:

"Up-to!"

……

……

Jin An had already besieged the city of Chang'an, and the nearest army was only two miles away from the city.

In addition to the various city gates that are strictly guarded, Chang'an seems to have returned to normal.

Li Zenan went to the court every day, and those ministers went to the court with sincere fear and evil intentions.

No one knew what they were trying to do.

Later, some people gradually understood that Li Zenan should be cherishing his last time as an emperor.

There seems to be no intersection between the inside and outside of the city, but the invisible power in the shadows has completely drawn them together.

……

……

The first year of Kaiyuan in the Northern Tang Dynasty, September 16, night.

The gloomy clouds obscured all the light, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

There was no sign of rain, just a terrible depression.

The barracks was silent, but in the darkness there was a movement of air—the movement of air from the movements of men and horses.

……

……

Xie Jun put his left hand on the hilt of the knife, standing at the head of the city, looking into the distance.

The dark night made his heart very heavy.

But there is also an inexplicable excitement.

Jin An will make a move tonight, this is he got the news, he made all the preparations, mobilized all the men to stay at the city gate, and improvise.

It's going to be a sleepless night and a feast.

The torches at the head of the city shine, but probably because of the night and the relatively high city wall, the light is not too far and the light is not very clear.

"General, everything is normal, no one has been found."

"General, it's very quiet."

……

A steady stream of information reached Xie Jun's ears, but the calmness did not make him breathe a sigh of relief, but made him very nervous.

At this time, a cronie stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.

His whole body was shocked, and he turned his head to see a group of people covered in black robes.

All of them only brought two or three retinues, but it could be seen that those two or three were rare powerhouses.

The first man took away the black robe that had been tightly draped over him.

It was a middle-aged man, although the years had left indelible marks on his body, he could still see that he was a beautiful man.

If anyone else outside of this sees this middle-aged man, they will definitely be shocked, because he is one of the top ten beauties in the Northern Tang Dynasty, known as Xu Mengshan's father under Li Xiyun, Xu Jingyi!!

Behind him, everyone took down the black robe, and everyone was a well-known figure in the court.

……

……

On such a night, many mansions have made all the preparations, and it may be more convenient for their own safety to go blind in the dark.

Li Zenan was unwilling to leave Chang'an with the minister and flee, tying everyone's lives to his own body, although he was afraid of his might, but this did not mean that other people would be so willing to die with him.

But unexpectedly, the Guogong Mansion was brightly lit.

Liu Yinian's face was full of indifference, he put on his usual hunting outfit, with a saber, maybe there was still a remnant of the blood of his ancestors when he fought for the Northern Tang Dynasty.
