Chapter 65: God Help Me
The eastern capital is Luoyang.
At this moment, it has become the base camp of An Lushan, and at this moment An Lushan has ascended the throne in the eastern capital of Luoyang, establishing a puppet Yan regime, and the year name is Shengwu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Good news, great news!"
Outside the main hall, a man dressed as a general hurried straight to the main hall.
"What good news did Aiqing bring?" Hearing this, An Lushan asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, there is a secret report from the secret agents of Chang'an City, Ge Shuhan has been beaten to death by Yang Guozhong in the prison at noon yesterday!"
The general reported truthfully.
"Is that true?"
When An Lushan heard this, he was shocked, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face.
"It's true, the last general has already found someone to confirm, and this matter can't be wrong!" When the general heard this, he patted his chest and said firmly.
"Hahaha...... God help me! ”
"Ge Shuhan, the old immortal, is finally dead, once Ge Shuhan dies, the Tang army can no longer stop my iron horse!"
"Immediately send an order to the three armies, take Tongguan, take Chang'an, and capture Li Longji alive The official will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold. Those who capture Yang Guozhong and Yang Yuhuan alive will be promoted to two levels and rewarded with 100 taels of gold! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole army was full of joy, and every soldier's eyes showed a touch of greed.
"Emperor Xie!"
At this moment, An Lushan is proud of the spring breeze.
"Li Longji is old after all, dumb and incompetent, and now the government is controlled by Yang Guozhong's child, and the world of the Tang Dynasty is about to become my An Lushan's, hahaha!"
As soon as the words fell, the ministers knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
The voices came and went, echoing in the sky over the entire Luoyang City, refusing to disperse for a long time.
Chang'an City.
As soon as Ge Shuhan died, Li Longji was completely panicked, and he regretted that he should not believe Yang Guozhong's slander, but it is a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world.
Now above the court, there is no one available for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
Rao is like this, Li Longji still convened his ministers to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, how should we retreat from the enemy at the moment?" Overnight, Li Longji seemed to have undergone a lot of vicissitudes, and a lot of silver hair had grown between his temples.
Even the voice that speaks is not as majestic as it used to be.
When the ministers heard this, no one stepped forward to offer advice, and they all bowed their heads to protect themselves.
On the occasion of this embarrassment, the crown prince Li Heng stood up: "Qiqi father, the first battle of Tongguan, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong should be fully responsible, if it were not for Yang Guozhong privately installed his cronies Du Qian Yun in Ge Shuhan's camp, threatening Ge Shuhan to have opposing intentions, but also lied about the military situation, bullied the king, forced the old general Ge Shuhan to death, forced him to go out, so that An Lushan ambush, almost the whole army was wiped out, and so on, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong could not escape the blame, and the blame could not be escaped!" ”
The prince's words are not unwise, and he put all the charges on Yang Guozhong's head, but he did not mention Li Longji's mistakes, which was enough for Li Longji to step down.
Someone must be responsible for the defeat in the Battle of Tongguan, and the best candidate is undoubtedly Yang Guozhong.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Guozhong's face suddenly turned ugly, "Okay, you Li Heng, you actually fell into the well for your own appearance, it's damned!" ”
Yang Guozhong stared at Li Heng deadly, and a killing intent burst out from his body.
Without waiting for Yang Guozhong to argue, he saw an old minister with flowery hair stand up, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, the battle of Tongguan was lost, and Yang Guozhong should be mainly responsible!" ”
As soon as the old minister's voice fell, the court was full of voices condemning Yang Guozhong, which meant that the wall was falling down and everyone was pushing.
Seeing this, Yang Guozhong also began to panic in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and quibbled, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, Weichen asked Du Qianyun to go to Ge Shuhan's camp, but also to supervise Ge Shuhan for the emperor, everything Weichen did was for the sake of the court and the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"Wei Chen couldn't have imagined that Ge Shuhan's 50,000 soldiers and horses would be so vulnerable!"
I have to say that Yang Guozhong is really clever, and his ability to reverse right and wrong is not small.
As soon as the words fell, Yang Guozhong retreated again.
"Your Majesty, Weichen did have negligence, but Weichen thinks that right now, there is not much time left for us, for the comfort of the emperor, the minister implores the emperor to move to Longxi immediately, in order to avoid the thief wind!"
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar, and Li Longji was even more furious and said: "Bastard, you actually want me to escape from Chang'an, I have been in Chang'an for forty-five years since I ascended the throne, and now, you actually let me abandon Chang'an and flee Chang'an!" ”
"What are your intentions?"
As the king of a country, although Li Longji is stupid, he is also an emperor, and he Li Longji must not bear the charge of abandoning the city and fleeing.
"Your Majesty, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and for your comfort, please move immediately!"
After speaking, Yang Guozhong immediately knelt on the ground and asked to show his loyalty.
"I'm not leaving!"
"I want to stay in Chang'an and fight to the death with An Lushan!"
Since Gaozu Emperor Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, no emperor has ever been beaten to abandon the city and flee, and now it is his turn Li Longji will definitely not abandon the city and flee, the big deal is to die with An Lushan!
"The emperor is wise!"
"Weichen is willing to defend Chang'an with His Majesty, and swear to live and die with Chang'an!"
The flowery old minister stood up and continued.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Guozhong immediately retorted and said: "Lord Yushi, the 50,000 army of the old general Ge Shuhan has been wiped out, and now Chang'an City has become a lonely city, and there are no soldiers in the city to defend!" ”
"With our tens of thousands of old and weak soldiers, how can we resist the 100,000 troops of two An Lushan, if you don't want to ignore the emperor's comfort, and ask you what your intentions are?"
Yang Guozhong sued first, and directly accused the imperial doctor of bullying the king.
However, Dr. Yushi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has been squeezed out and suppressed by Yang Guozhong on weekdays, and now he finally found the opportunity to kill Yang Guozhong, how could he miss it.
"Yang Guozhong!"
If you hadn't forced the old general Ge Shuhan to send troops, how could Tongguan be lost, and now you actually persuade Your Majesty to flee from Kyoto, how vicious are you, do you want the emperor to bear the infamy of abandoning the city and fleeing? “
"You ......"
When Yang Guozhong heard this, he was angry, and he wanted to continue to quibble, but he was preempted by the crown prince Li Heng, "Father, Yang Guozhong is the prime minister, but he persuaded his father to flee from Kyoto. “
"Erchen implores His Majesty to immediately remove Yang Guozhong from the post of Prime Minister and hand him over to Dali Temple for quarantine review!"
