The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 160 Laugh lightly at the wind, settle down in Chang'an
In the Zichen Palace, the burning copper crane lamppost suddenly toppled over, and the lamp oil slowly flowed along the cracks in the floor tiles. The old man in a dragon robe clenched his fists and was talking about apprehending Geng Qing.

"All of his party members will not let go. During this period of time, do you know how I live?"

He gritted his teeth, watched the light blue flames of the lamp oil ignited on the ground, walked aside with a flick of his sleeves, and faced the open door of the palace, "The arrests of the Ministry of Punishment and the gang of surrenders all have a share, so we can't just let it go. There is just one thing , I don’t understand why they didn’t kill me at this juncture?”

There were not many Shang Rang who bowed his head, glanced outside from time to time, and when Huang Chao's voice paused for a moment, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please follow the humble minister out of the palace, then Zhu Wen is rebellious! Zhang Gui Ba and the other three generals went in without knowing it, and when they saw me break into the imperial city, they couldn't possibly lead their troops to charge over."

Listening to what Shang Rang told, Huang Chao smiled instead and waved his hands indifferently.

"Zhang Guiba's responsibilities, when I appear, will be solved naturally. As for Zhu Wen, there must be other reasons. He has fought with me for many years, and he will rebel for no reason. I am not that kind of pedantic king. See you later See him, ask clearly before making a decision.”

While speaking, the old man stepped out of the hall, looked at the sun in the clouds, took a deep breath, and felt really comfortable when he broke free from the shackles. The capture of Geng Qing and Zhu Wen's rebellion, the rest should be Take care of this place.

As he was thinking, his eyes looking at Tianyun suddenly lowered, and a fast horse galloped in the distance, came to the square along the palace road, jumped off the horse, and quickly climbed up the stone steps.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Wen is in a hurry to attack Chunming Gate, and his troops are already on the top of the wall!!"

Huang Chao frowned, remembering what he said just now, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and Shang Rang from behind hurried forward and clasped his fists.

"His Majesty."

However, before he finished speaking, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a pair of monarchs who hadn't spoken raised their eyes, and saw two fast horses coming here almost at the same time. The upper stone steps are on both sides of the previous soldier, who folded their fists and half knelt at the same time.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the scouts from the north and west reported back and found that Li Keyong, Zheng Tian and other Tang military envoys sent a large number of scouts around."

"Not confirmed?" Shang Rang called the two of them up and asked, the old man over there frowned. He had been in the army for many years, and if there were a large number of scouts in the march and battle, there must be a large army behind.

Then Zhu Wen suddenly rebelled, and it made sense to attack the East Gate. Now that Huang Chao was out of trouble, the joy in his heart was quickly suppressed. After a moment of silence, he had to take the existing soldiers and horses out of the city, and ordered Meng Juehai and others to join him Converge, break out of Chang'an, and then plan the next plan.

As for the soldiers and horses that were left behind, they were lost as soon as they were lost, and they would be replenished on the way later.

Huang Chao closed his eyes and quickly went through the plan in his mind, and immediately ordered to move to the southern suburbs. Dengzhou was opened by Zhu Wen before, so there should be unimpeded traffic.

Cleaned up some things in the palace, asked a few maids to help the old wife get on the imperial chariot, Huang Chao also got on a majestic horse, moved his buttocks and legs uncomfortably, endured some rubbing pain, and urged Shang Rang Open the way ahead, and go out of the imperial city with the three nephews who came to go south to Mingde Gate.

Amidst the sound of horses' hooves and the rolling of the shaft, the old man turned his head to look at the Suzaku Gate passing behind, tightened his grip on the reins, and narrowed his eyes.

In today's field, how could he not know who made it.

'Even if I flee in embarrassment, I won't make it easier for you. '

Withdrawing his sight, the passing street and the distance extending, a group of nearly a thousand infantry marched fast, and the people along the way dispersed in panic, hiding around, watching them rushing towards Yong'an Square from a distance.

The chaos that happened in the north has already spread, and the situation at Chunming Gate has also been reported just now. Many people gathered under the eaves of their homes, or did not dare to go out in tea shops and restaurants, and waited and watched the changes.

For a moment, people were in panic, the people on the street came and went in a hurry, the gate of a courtyard on the side of the street was closed, Geng Qing and Xie Tong sat under the tree, their eyes were on the flustered family members in the courtyard, what were they talking about, Occasionally laugh twice.

".That's probably the case. Huang Chao's foundation is not stable. Rushing to become emperor is actually a way of death. Abandoning Li Xuan in Shu, the Jiedushi of the towns can't tolerate him. This is a real slap in the face."

Qiao Niang hurried over with the dustpan in her arms and was called by Wang Jinqiu. Xie Tong turned her face and continued, "Brother Geng, if he didn't proclaim himself emperor, but raised his people to accumulate strength, would you be willing to work for him? "

"If that's the case, I can only be a small official, not the left prime minister of Qi."

Geng Qing smiled at Bai Yunxiang who was waving at Yilan, turned to look at the scholar next to him, and poured him tea: "Even if he didn't become emperor, Geng didn't like what he did all the way here before." , how can it be called working for him."

"Brother Geng, this is against the Li family court"

"Going forward, it's just a longing in my heart. The heavenly dynasty, the four barbarians are congratulating. However, this is not the reason why I want to help that Li Xuan. It sounds funny, but it is actually because of the more than 20 women."

Xie Tong held the tea and stopped at his mouth, he was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and asked again, until he heard the whole story of Huang Chao going to Mingdefang's mansion to see the woman in the yard that day.

Others are a little silly.

For a group of women, ruined a court.
"Brother Geng, you." The scholar was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know what to say. After a long while, he squeezed out the last sentence to add, ".You have to pay attention to your body, you are so smart, don't be too obsessed with women."

Geng Qing: "."

Xie Tong didn't know the identities of the women in Mingdefang, so Geng Qing couldn't tell, so he smiled and said, "Brother Xie, can you marry me?"

"That's not true, but men only worry about fame, why worry about wives and concubines?"

"Then you don't understand the music here. Let alone more than 20 people."

"you"

Xie Tong looked at him speechlessly, took a sip from the teacup in his hand, when the sound of footsteps resounded from the street outside.

Outside, there were spears like a forest, and the soldiers on horseback shook their armor, drew their swords and pointed to the courtyard gate on the street.

The two looked at each other, and everyone in the courtyard also concentrated their spirits. Dou Wei, Qin Huaimian and the others clenched their weapons and held their breath.

Geng Qing put down the teapot and looked back at the courtyard gate.

Two strong soldiers raised their feet and kicked the door leaf. With a bang, the door leaf slammed open, and a group of soldiers rushed in with ferocious shouts, but they froze in place.

The courtyard is empty, and the building is even more dead silent, only an old tree in the courtyard is shaking its branches and leaves slowly, and a few dead leaves are floating down.

"There is no one in the attic!"

A group of soldiers came out from the building and shouted that not only was there no one there, but no valuables were left behind, only some furniture that could not be removed.

"go!"

When the leading soldier came out, he heard the news that the emperor was leaving the city, he hurriedly took his brothers with him, and chased to Mingdemen, rushing to join the army.

Squeak!

The gate of the courtyard opened, and the courtyard door with countless eyes focused on it opened, and a man with a monkey head and a monkey brain came in lightly. His name was Yu Jin, and he was originally the killer in Fenglai Building. .

"Huang Chao has left the city with the army."

'hehe.'

Xie Tong looked as expected, and raised his hand towards Geng Qing, "Brother Geng, this matter is finally over."

"Where does it need you and me in the end, the credit should be shared by others. Those Jiedu envoys outside also waited for a long time, and they happened to be very hungry and thirsty."

Geng Qing smiled lightly and bowed his hands to return the salute, inviting the other party to stand up, and smiled: "Let's go for a walk outside together. Please!"

"Please!"

Xie Tong cupped his hands, and then opened the courtyard door, and the two walked out hand in hand.Qin Huaimian and four gang members with slightly higher martial arts followed behind, walking slowly along the street.
