Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Yes, Eunuch Gao!" The two chamberlains bowed and helped Concubine Yang to the back hall of the palace.

Looking at the beautiful figure gradually disappearing, Li Longji suddenly threw himself on the wine bank and cried out sadly.

"My beloved concubine!"

Only this time no one responded to his words.

When he came to the back hall of the palace, Gao Lishi took out three feet of white silk, a bottle of red poison and a dagger from his sleeves and put them on the table.

"My dear concubine, don't resent your majesty. Your majesty can't save himself from the mud Buddha crossing the river now. You can make your own choice."

"Although it hurts a little, it's better than being hacked to death by those mutinous soldiers."

Hearing this, Concubine Yang smiled miserably, her beautiful eyes swept over the three things on the table in turn, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Why would you like to be a winged bird in heaven and a twig on earth?
What an oath of love, before the flowers and under the moon, it turns out that they are so vulnerable in the face of life and death.

It's ridiculous that I thought I had found true love, but I didn't expect that I ended up paying the wrong person.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yang opened her cherry red mouth and sang slowly.

"The jianjia is green, the white dew is like frost, the so-called beauty is by the water."

"Travel back and follow it, you will be in the middle of the water..."

The resentful melody passed through the tent and lingered in the sky above the carriage for a long time, making everyone present sigh secretly at the misfortunes of beauty.

After a long time, Concubine Yang straightened her appearance and sat on the chair and said coldly: "Just use Bai Ling."

"Yes, concubine.

Gao Lishi knelt on the ground with a pop and choked: "My slave Gao Lishi respectfully invites the Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty to go on her way!"

As soon as the words fell, the two chamberlains walked up behind Yang Guifei with white silk in their hands and wrapped their arms around her neck, squeezing her from both sides.

Concubine Yang, who was sitting upright, suddenly struggled with her pretty face flushed, and as the strength increased, her entire face turned purple.

Finally, her delicate body fell softly on the chair, and blood flowed from her nostrils.

Gao Lishi stood up, walked closer, stretched out his hand, breathed and said to the two chamberlains.

"Put it on a stretcher, show it to the soldiers, and then bury it under the date tree."

"I know godfather."

The two young eunuchs carried Yang Guifei out of the tent and walked around the cabin.

Seeing that Concubine Yang, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, was strangled to death, the soldiers of the three armies all cheered and praised the emperor for his wisdom.

After burying Concubine Yang, Gao Lishi returned to the palace and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yang has been laid to rest. Please give me your condolences."

"My beloved concubine!"

After hearing the bad news, Li Longji howled and cried. On the way, he wiped his tears and asked: "By the way, Hercules, are the soldiers satisfied?"

"Your Majesty, the mutinous soldiers have returned to the ranks and are willing to continue to escort you to Bashu Chengdu Mansion." Gao Lishi said.

"What, are you all back in the team?"

After receiving affirmative replies from Gao Lishi and Chen Xuance, Li Longji stood up from the wine table and arranged his imperial robes slowly.

"Your Majesty, what are you...?" the ministers asked in confusion.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and pour some wine and play music. I have to calm down my shock!" Li Longji smiled like he was surviving the disaster.

The ministers were speechless secretly. Seeing her crying just now, they thought that the emperor couldn't bear to leave Yang Guifei, and their feelings were just that he was afraid that he would die in the mutiny.

After thinking about this, everyone looked at Li Longji with disdain.

Especially the prince Li Heng, he had long disliked his father who was addicted to alcohol and sex, and he had lost his country because of his alcoholism and sex.

At the critical moment, a woman was asked to convict someone. There was no trace of the spirit of an emperor.

As soon as he thought about it, Li Heng picked up the wine glass and drank alone.

The crowd dispersed, and Li Heng returned to his tent and sat in front of the table in silence. The bonfire shone on his face, which made him look a little gloomy and uncertain.

A sturdy man with a strong back and a strong waist walked into the tent and bowed: "Your Highness, General Chen Xuance has arrived."

Li Heng put away his thoughts and said calmly with his hands behind his back: "Let him come in."

Not long after his confidant left, Chen Xuance walked into the tent and frowned: "Your Highness, our cooperation on the killing of Yang Guozhong's brother and sister has ended. Do you have anything else to do in the future?"

Li Heng poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I often hear people say that if you are young, you will not enter Sichuan, and if you are old, you will not leave Shu."

"Of course we can survive by escaping to Bashu, but as long as Fan Xin sends people to blockade Hanzhong and occupy the surrounding areas, we may not be able to escape in our lifetime."

After all, Chen Xuance is an old general who has been working hard for many years. When he heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Li Heng smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "I am still young, and there are still many people in the world who support us, the descendants of the Li family."

"As long as we go back and regroup, we may not have a chance to defeat Fan Xin's rebels!"

"How about General Chen, are you willing to follow Gu Zhong to regain the mountains and rivers?"

Seeing Chen Xuance's expression changing constantly, Li Heng laughed and put forward his conditions appropriately.

"You can rest assured that once Gu ascends the throne, he will be the first to confer you and Guo Ziyi the title of General Protector and the title of Minister of War."

"If I fight back to Chang'an in the future, I will at least give you the honor of King Zhao."

Li Heng believed that Chen Xuance would abandon his mediocre and incompetent father and follow him to regain the country with his large sum of money.

However, what he never expected was that Chen Xuance shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. From being a warrior to today, I owe it all to Your Majesty's kindness. Now, even if he is in despair, I will still not abandon him."

"As for the matter of being crowned king and knighted, don't mention it again in the future. Farewell!"

Looking at the departing figure, Li Heng's face darkened and he said coldly: "If you don't drink a toast, you will have to drink a fine wine! When I become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I will get rid of you first!"

The curtain opened and a beautiful woman walked in accompanied by a chamberlain and said warmly: "Your Highness, please calm down. The most important thing is not to vent your anger."

"We should separate from our father as soon as possible and lead the troops north to Lingwu, where we will ascend the throne and proclaim ourselves emperor and call on the Qin King's troops from all over the world to come and join us."

"Yes, Your Highness, there are three thousand people in the guard, and there are more than two thousand people who are willing to go to Lingwu with us, which shows what the people want."

Li Heng nodded when he saw the Crown Princess Zhang Liangdi and the eunuch Li Fuguo saying so.

"That's fine, you go and inform the generals immediately. When the sky breaks out, we will go north to Lingwu to ascend the throne and proclaim ourselves emperor."

"I don't believe it. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can't beat Fan Xin, that rebellious minister!"

"promise!"

Zhang Liangdi and Li Fuguo bowed and left the tent.

When the sun rose from the horizon the next morning, Li Heng put on his black dragon uniform and headed to Li Longji's tent.

Seeing his son looking like he was on his way, Li Longji asked doubtfully: "Didn't I decree that we should set off at noon? What are you planning to do so early?"

Li Heng cupped his fists and said, "Back to my father, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I have decided to go north to Lingwu to fight back against Fan Xin, that rebellious official!"

"Please allow me to allow my father to complete his great mission!"

Looking at his confident son, Li Longji's eyes turned cold. How could he not know his son's thoughts after being the emperor for so many years?

So he put down his brush and said in a deep voice: "Fan Xinxiong has more than 400,000 soldiers. What do you use for the Northern Expedition?"

In the past, Li Heng might have been scared to death, but now Li Longji has become a toothless tiger.

There were only over a thousand guards around him, not even half as many as him.

The most important thing is that most of the royal relatives around him supported his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Li Heng believed that even if his father broke up with him, everyone would be on his side.

Therefore, he dusted his sleeves and said calmly: "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I have the orthodox bloodline of Li. With this, I can gather a group of ministers who support the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time."

Speaking of this, Li Heng looked up at the sun and bowed his hands to Li Longji.

"Okay, Father, it's getting late. I have to lead the three armies to Lingwu. I wish you a safe and safe arrival in Bashu as soon as possible. Farewell!"

After speaking, he turned around, opened the curtain and left the cabin, leaving Li Longji with a livid face.

Bang!
This traitor! I'm going to kill him...

Your Majesty, please calm down. People outside have surrendered to His Highness the Crown Prince. You must not act rashly...

Listening to the roar coming from the tent, Li Heng snorted disdainfully, mounted his horse and led a group of royal relatives to the official road in the distance.

There Zhang Liangdi and Li Fuguo were waiting for him with two thousand soldiers and horses.

Seeing Li Heng coming out, Zhang Liangdi smiled and said, "Your Highness, I sent a letter to Guo Ziyi, the chief manager of the Lingwu Army, instructing him to send someone to greet you."

"Let's get on the road early. When we get to Lingwu, we have to discuss with the generals how to recover the Central Plains."

"We are here, Princess, let's go!" Signaling the soldiers to set off, Li Heng got into the carriage and lay on Zhang Di's lap. He put his palms into his skirt and caressed his wife's peaks while saying proudly.

"You didn't see how angry my father was. He could have swallowed his life. It's a pity that Gu is not that cowardly prince."

"He can no longer give orders to me!" As if he remembered something, the hatred in Li Heng's eyes flashed away, and he clenched his breasts with his hands.

Zhang Liangdi exclaimed in pain and slapped his hand away angrily.

"Your Majesty is our father after all. Although everyone has their own ambitions, can you be more tactful?"

Seeing that his wife was angry, Li Heng said angrily: "Forget it, let's forget about him. At worst, we can wait until I ascend the throne and make him the Supreme Emperor."

"It's true that you haven't served me for a long time since you became pregnant, so why not stay here." He said with a belated tear, tearing open his skirt and throwing himself forward.

"Your Highness, be gentle..."

……

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the scorching sun hung high in the sky again, Li Heng's team finally arrived in Lingwu.

A group of people saw several generals waiting at the boundary marker with a team of soldiers and horses from a long distance away.

Seeing this scene, Li Fuguo said happily: "Your Highness, General Guo Ziyi is here to greet us."

"I saw it. I sent an order to everyone to speed up and try to enter the city before dark."

"Yes!"

With an order, the army instantly quickened its pace and rumbled towards Lingwu.

Soon the two sides met, and a general wearing gold and bronze armor stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"General Guo Ziyi, the general manager of the Lingwu Army, meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Heng had to rely on Guo Ziyi during his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. Naturally, he did not dare to support him, so he immediately jumped off the carriage and helped the latter up with both hands.

"Mr. Guo, please come quickly. I will count on you to help the country in the future."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After standing up, Guo Ziyi glanced around the team and frowned slightly: "Your Highness, are there only so many people who have escaped from Chang'an?"

Hearing this, Li Heng's smile stopped and he sighed: "There were more than three thousand left when we came out of Chang'an. My father took one thousand to Bashu, and the rest are all here."

Li Heng's eyes were full of hatred when he mentioned this matter. It was a shame and humiliation to think that the prince of the Tang Dynasty would run out like a bereaved dog.

After hearing these words, Guo Ziyi sighed and subconsciously looked at Jiang Ji behind him, who nodded calmly.

After receiving the instruction, Guo Ziyi said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be discouraged. As long as you and His Majesty are still together, there will still be a chance."

"Let's go, please go to the city to rest. After dinner, we will discuss the matter of ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor."

This was what Li Heng was waiting for, and he couldn't wait to smile and said: "Okay, then I'll go to the banquet first."

After a brief exchange of greetings between the two parties, the team headed towards Lingwu City.

Looking at the prince standing on the carriage waving to the soldiers along the way, Guo Ziyi hesitated and asked.

"May I ask Mr. Jiang, what does King Yan plan to do with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

He is now the general manager of the Lingwu Army in name only, but in fact his subordinates have been dispersed to various armies.

The army in front of them is basically Jiang Ji's Youzhou Army.

Jiang Ji glanced at him and said: "To be honest, I don't know how King Yan will deal with these people, but based on my understanding of him, these people should not be executed after being taken to Chang'an."

"The most that can be done is to send him away and provide him with relocation allowance. As for His Highness, I'm afraid he will have to move to the Tenth Prince's Mansion."

Hearing that King Yan had no intention of killing these people, Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief and forcibly cheered up to accompany Wang Banjia.

Although he was loyal to King Jin, he was still unwilling to attack his old master.

Soon, the team arrived at the restaurant. In order to entertain the prince and his entourage, Guo Ziyi specially invited chefs from various restaurants to cook.

The best local Orchid was invited to dance for fun.

When passing by the Xingyuan compound, Li Heng saw a row of prison cars parked outside and asked curiously: "Guo Aiqing, why are there so many prison cars parked in the city?"

Guo Ziyi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unaware that a group of bandits have recently arrived near Lingwu City, and these prison cars are prepared for them."

"It's all damn Fan Xin's fault for tearing the Tang Dynasty into pieces, otherwise there wouldn't be such bandits."

"Remember that after catching these bandits, they must parade through the streets for three days to show the law of the Tang Dynasty!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and robe and strode into the palace hall to join the banquet with the royal relatives and relatives. Even those who were sending each other off were arranged for banquets.

Li Heng and his party fled from Chang'an in embarrassment for several months. They usually only ate steamed buns. They had never eaten such a sumptuous meal.

So as soon as the dinner table was served, everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate hungrily.

On the way, Li Fuguo couldn't help but want to pee, so he left the camp and walked to the toilet with an excuse. When passing by the backyard, he suddenly found a large number of fully armed soldiers surrounding the camp.

One by one, they were holding flintlock guns and surrounded the camp. They looked like they were Fan Xin's Youzhou Army!
Li Fuguo's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned pale.

Not caring about letting go of water, he picked up his trousers and ran back to the cabin like a toe. Just as he was about to report to Li Heng, Guo Ziyi suddenly glanced at him.

Li Fuguo was so frightened that he froze on the spot and screamed inwardly that he was done. This time he was going to be taken out of the pot.
