Chapter 207: Announcing the Imperial Expedition

The noisy people downstairs instantly quieted down, and they all looked at Li Longji with blank eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Li Longji's eyes fell on the heads of the people scurrying downstairs, and his eyes were full of sadness.

Only then did he take a sharp breath, as if he had mustered up courage: "People, I am ashamed of the Tang Dynasty, I am ashamed of you, now the enemy army is about to fight in Chang'an City, although I am old, I am not old!"

As long as I am in Chang'an, I will never let the enemy army enter Chang'an!

Let's go with me!

Early tomorrow morning, open the city gate to meet the enemy! ”

An old man in his seventies, standing trembling on the city gate and saying the words of the royal conquest, who was present could not feel distressed?

But their hearts are more grateful, more hopeful!

Even if the saint is in his seventies and is old and weak, he must drive the battle to meet the enemy!

No matter what the saint is, he can still be impressed.

As long as there is the word of the saint, even if their heads are broken and bleeding, they will not let Datang lose Chang'an!

Saints are like this, even if they go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will not hesitate!

"Holy Wisdom!"

"Holy Wise !!"

The people cried out, and some even burst into tears with emotion.

"Destroy the traitors and return my mountains and rivers!"

"Destroy the traitors and return my mountains and rivers !!"

Seeing the morale of the people and the forbidden army in the imperial city all shouting, Li Longji felt more and more uncomfortable.

For a moment, he felt that Datang was not unable to defeat An Lushan, just because these people could defeat An Lushan.

With such high morale, how can you not win?

But...... An Lushan's army has already come, they have more than 100,000 people, and now the strength of Chang'an City is only 50,000, how to fight?

Li Longji glanced at the people downstairs, turned around and went downstairs, and returned to Xingqing Palace.

Li Qingheng saw this scene from afar and felt very relieved.

Perhaps, history will be changed.

As long as Li Longji is willing to go on a personal expedition now, there is no reason why he can't go back.

It seems that Li Longji is really going to drive the expedition this time, so that means that Datang is saved.

She breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved.

The day of the royal expedition is set for tomorrow, and the people of Chang'an City feel that they have seen hope, and they are full of morale.

Tomorrow, they will see the saints personally defending the mountains and rivers.

As everyone knows, that night.

Curfew.

Several carriages quietly came out of Daming Palace, galloped all the way from Chang'an Avenue, rushed to Kaihuamen, and rushed to Shudi non-stop!

The palace maids who were left behind fled from the unguarded palace gate one after another, crying and grabbing the ground.

Li Qingheng slept soundly, and when he heard the crying outside and the cry of grabbing the ground, he thought it was haunted, so he sat up busily, picked up a piece of wooden stick next to the bed and was about to kill it.

However, when she went out, she could hear the sound outside completely.

It wasn't the ghost crying wolf, it was the voice of people, the sound of the palace maids knocking on the door after running out, the sound of them crying and running away!

"Isn't it a curfew? Why is this happening? ”

Although Li Qingheng asked the system like this, everything in his heart was still clear.

It was the answer she couldn't believe the most.

Yes, Li Longji ran.

"Li Longji ran away."

The system spoke her mind.

Ran away?

He ran again!

He's a bastard!!!

Li Qingheng went out murderously, thinking of chasing after him.

But now in the middle of the night, she found that there were no horses!

Yes, for such a short time, there are no horses left in Chang'an City, and there is no way to escape!

No, no matter what, she has to chase after her, chase Li Longji back, and pull him to drive the expedition in person!

Li Qingheng walked violently in the direction of Kaihuamen, and the road was full of people who hurriedly fled on horseback.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.

Concubine Mei ......

Concubine Mei is far away in Shangyang East Palace, and she has been forgotten by Li Longji, and when Li Longji escapes, he will not take her with him.

And An Lushan's army is still two days away from coming back, and Concubine Mei has no way to escape now, it is too dangerous.

Li Qingheng turned back and hurriedly walked in the direction of Daming Palace.

Now fight Chang'an City, and it will become a pot of porridge.

Even Daming Palace, this is Li Tang's palace, and there is no one guarding the door?

However, Li Qingheng couldn't care about it so much, she hurriedly went straight to Shangyang East Palace.

Due to the remote location of Shangyang East Palace, there was a lot of commotion in Chang'an City, but Shangyang East Palace was still as quiet as ever.

It seems that Concubine Mei doesn't know what happened tonight yet.

When Li Qingheng arrived at Concubine Mei's dormitory in Shangyang East Palace, Concubine Mei was still asleep.

It's a remote place, and no one comes, so the maidservants don't have to keep vigil.

Li Qingheng walked in smoothly, and when he entered the hall, he smelled a pungent fragrance of plum blossoms, which made people calm.

"Concubine Mei."

Just called, Concubine Mei woke up and looked at Li Qingheng with some shock.

However, Concubine Mei has always been smart, and she was not too surprised to see Li Qingheng, but asked her for the purpose of coming: "Lord Qingheng, is Shen Mo back?" ”

Everything is safe and sound now, and the county lord of Qingheng will not come to her rashly, unless Shen Mo comes back.

Li Qingheng's eyes dimmed a little when she looked at Concubine Mei.

She was about to forget about Shen Mo, but when she heard Concubine Mei ask, she suddenly remembered that Chang'an City was in chaos now, and Shen Mo had not come back.

I don't know if he's safe now, and if there are any three longs and two shorts, she doesn't know.

After putting away the sadness in her eyes, Li Qingheng began to answer Concubine Mei's question.

"Mother, the saint has run away."

Concubine Mei felt a trance in her brain, and she didn't understand what Qing Heng said just now.

"What?" Concubine Mei looked at Li Qingheng suspiciously, and she was already faintly uneasy in her heart.

"The sage ran away, just two hours ago, left Chang'an and went to Shudi."

Li Qingheng repeated it again.

This time, Concubine Mei heard it all clearly.

"How...... How can it be...... He also said today that he would go to the expedition in person. ”

Concubine Mei is not deaf, although she lives in Shangyang East Palace, as long as she wants to, she can still get news.

Li Longji is the emperor, and he is full of words.

In the morning, he swore in Qinzheng Building that he wanted to drive in person, and he ran away at night?

Is this something the emperor did?!!!

Even Concubine Mei, who has always been peaceful, clenched the quilt in her hand tightly when she heard the news, as if she was holding Li Longji's neck.

After a long time, she calmed down and said, "It was the concubine and Yang Guozhong who did it." ”

"Why?"

Although Li Qingheng knew it in his heart, he didn't dare to say it so surely, after all, his subordinates had no evidence.

"Yang Guozhong went to Xingqing Palace last night and talked with him all night."

Concubine Mei didn't want to call him a saint anymore, so she called him directly.

In this matter, it must have been Yang Guozhong and the concubine who instigated him to flee in Li Longji's ear, especially the concubine, who always listened to the concubine's words.

After listening to this, Li Qingheng fell into deep thought.

She suddenly thought that Li Longji, who was upstairs in the diligent administration today, said such passionate words, but his eyes were full of sadness.

It's not right, it's so wrong when you think about it.

Unless he had planned to run in the morning, that's why he would show that look.

Therefore, the speeches made by Qin Zheng upstairs were all just a delaying tactic, and he deceived all the people!

He is the king of a country, and he is full of words, and now he is doing such a thing!

"But why would the concubine ......" Li Qingheng raised his eyes to look at Concubine Mei.

"Because she has hatred in her heart, she wants to take revenge on Li Longji and the entire Tang Dynasty."

Concubine Mei said extremely firmly.

The concubine was robbed in by Li Longjiqiang, and after she entered the palace, she has always been like a doll and has never complained.

There are no complaints, which is very strange.

"She has been trying every means to make him ignore the government, and always provoke him to go to the pear orchard when he is dealing with political affairs."

All this was planned by the concubine.

It's fake not to ask about political affairs, but it's fake to love singing and dancing.

What she wants is for Li Longji to pour for her, regret it for her, and let him take the entire Tang Dynasty to bury her.

She wants to make Li Longji lose the most important thing.

Where is there someone who doesn't understand the government, everything is just pretended, and it is all deliberate and deliberate by her.

As a harem concubine, how could she not understand such a truth.

It's not that she doesn't understand, it's that she pretends not to understand.
