Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 102 By the Emperor’s Order!Kill the traitorous general and grant Changqing Gao Xianzhi! (4.2K first order required!)

The society during the Tianbao period was like cheese milk tea. The upper class and the lower class had two completely different flavors.

Under Li Longji's long-term monarchy offline system, the entire Tang Dynasty has become a huge ball of donkey dung - only the surface is smooth.

A group of people stood on the street of Fengxian County, looking at the desolate streets and the scenes of people supporting the elderly and young, fleeing in panic, Li Shimin couldn't help but realize that something was wrong.

Why did Fengxian County become like this just a few days after leaving?

Li Qing was actually puzzled. Later, after asking the system, he found out that if you don't see the emperor, time will speed up after leaving this plane.

In other words, he actually didn't know it either.

After some questioning, I found out that there was a rebellion in the north. The rebels had captured Luoyang and were heading towards Chang'an.

"It will be too late if you don't leave!" A passing wealthy businessman stamped his feet and said, "I heard from my friends who escaped from Luoyang that those rebels are like jackals. After entering the city, they plunder, burn, kill and loot. You guys It’s better to run quickly!”

"How could this happen?" Li Shimin asked in horror. He could not believe it no matter what, the rebels actually fought from Hebei to Luoyang within a month, and even captured the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

"General Feng was ordered to temporarily recruit tens of thousands of people from the market in Luoyang to rush to fight. How can he win?" The wealthy businessman cursed and said: "The imperial court did not understand his difficulties and took back his official position to let him win. A white man is accompanying the army, ha..."

"This...didn't the imperial court have any news before the rebellion in the north?" Li Shimin asked in confusion.

Who knows if he doesn't say anything, the wealthy businessman jumped up and cursed: "Damn it, even Yang Guozhong, that dog-like thing, knows that An Lushan has evil intentions. He has warned An Lushan more than once that he will definitely launch a rebellion, but our emperor Where is your majesty? He doesn’t believe it at all! He even ties up and sends An Lushan to An Lushan every time someone plays An Lushan in front of him. Tell me, who will be willing to speak out in the long run? "

*Rage value from Li Shimin +1000
Li Shimin's eyes flashed fiercely, and he looked fiercely at the young man beside him, Li Longji.

Young Li Longji shuddered and hid behind Li Dan.

Who knew that Li Dan flew up and kicked Li Longji on the butt.

"You still have time to beat the child!" The wealthy businessman shook his head and persuaded, "This rebellion has nothing to do with the child, so why beat him? I won't talk to you anymore, I have to leave first!"

"It has nothing to do with him?" Li Shimin sneered, and after the wealthy businessman left, he untied his belt and shook it with a crackling sound.

Li Longji quickly backed away and reached out to stop Li Shimin's movements: "Grandpa, my dear great-grandpa... Why does this matter have anything to do with me? Just listen to me, okay? I want to beat that old bastard to death. !”

When Li Shimin heard this, he paused and asked meaningfully: "Really?"

"More real than real gold!" Li Longji looked around, stretched out three fingers, and swore to the sky: "I, Li Longji, swear by Luoshui..."

"It's your mother-in-law's fault!" He didn't say anything, but as soon as he said these words, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Li Xian, and Li Dan looked at each other and whipped him violently with the belt.

"I'll make you swear by Luo Shui!" "Pa!"

"I was wrong! I was wrong!" Li Longji wailed: "But don't come at me, you guys! Go find that old bastard... Oh, don't fight, don't fight, my grandfather..."

Li Zhi is the most ruthless person here. After all, apart from him, Li Xian and Li Dan are both honest people and have never been beaten at all.

It is precisely because he has been caught in the rain that he wants to take down other people's umbrellas. This may be Li Zhi's psychological activity.

Li Longji was beaten violently. With this beating, everyone's anger calmed down a little.Li Zhi tied his belt back around his waist and asked Li Qing, "Uncle, what should we do now? Go to Chang'an and beat that old boy?"

"Yes! Go to Chang'an and beat up that old boy!" Li Longji responded in a very shameless manner. He was definitely sincere.

First, he wanted to draw the trouble away; secondly, he had been beaten so many times because of the bad things old Li Longji had done, and he wanted to beat him back; finally, he also wanted to taste the feeling of beating someone with a belt.

What is the magic power of this belt?How could the always meek Aye pull on his belt and beat someone up? It seemed like he couldn't stop at all?
"Let's go to Tongguan. It may be too late to go to Chang'an." Li Qing glanced at the time and couldn't help but feel a sudden thought, "It's December [-]th now. If nothing else happens, Lao Li Longji has issued an order to kill Gao Xianzhi and Feng Feng. Chang Qing’s imperial edict has been issued, we must rush over to save people!”

"What?!" Li Shimin's blood pressure rose again, and he just contributed a thousand rage points to Li Qing, "That bastard thing actually destroyed the Great Wall? How could he do it!"

"This has to do with Bian Lingcheng, the supervisor sent by Li Longji."

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, Li Zhi, inspired by Li Shimin's eyes, asked impatiently: "Uncle, what is the Supervisory Army?"

"Out of concern for the army, Li Longji implemented the system of eunuchs supervising the army among the Jiedushi." Li Qing opened the door of Du Fu's house and found a comfortable seat to sit down: "Li Longji's cunning and suspicious You also know his character. Only the eunuch who has no family and no worries and is by his side all year round is worthy of his trust."

"There are many cases of secret reports from the army or direct false accusations against generals. Once the emperor adopts the policy, it can be as easy as removing the general, or as serious as beheading him. For example, Bian Lingcheng just mentioned is a living example."

"Bian Lingcheng is an extremely narrow-minded person. He had many personal affairs before and wanted to ask Gao Xianzhi for help, but Gao Xianzhi refused. Therefore, Bian Lingcheng harbored a grudge against Gao Xianzhi."

"After he retreated to Tongguan, Bian Lingcheng slandered Gao Xianzhi in front of Li Longji, saying that Feng Changqing had exaggerated the strength of the rebels and shaken the morale of the army. Gao Xianzhi gave up hundreds of miles of land, deprived the soldiers of their pay and rewards, and also slandered them as secretly collaborating with the rebels. Gequ, apparently he is retreating to Tongguan, but in fact he is preparing to surrender without a fight and find another job among the rebels."

Li Shimin took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible and asked: "Brother Xian, don't tell me that that bitch Li Longji believed this!"

"Don't say it, you really don't say it..." Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "Even a fool would not believe it, but he, Li Longji, actually believed it, so he asked Bian Lingcheng to carry the edict to kill Feng Feng. Chang Qing and Gao Xianzhi, this is the first time he has destroyed the Great Wall."

"The first time?!" Li Shimin grasped the key point keenly: "You mean, there is a second time?!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and looked at the young man Li Longji, his eyes as cold as the cold wind blowing on the Antarctic plateau.

"Hey, Li Sanlang has done a lot of bad things." Li Qing glanced at Li Longji, who was shrinking like a quail, and said to Li Shimin: "But Brother Li, I don't recommend that you beat him now. You will need him later." Go save people; besides, there is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. After all, the current Li Xiaosan is not the stupid and unscrupulous Li Laosan. He has not done these immoral things yet..."

"So don't hit me, thank you great uncle!" Li Xiaosan bowed and thanked him in a very shameless manner.

"Make a note of this beating first. If he relapses in the future, it won't be too late to beat him again." Li Qing said with a sneer.

Li Xiaosan stretched out his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Forget it, just don't get beaten, he comforted himself in his heart.If you don't have freedom in the future, you won't have freedom. It's better than the feeling of being beaten, right?
……

At this time, in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, the elderly Li Longji was pacing back and forth anxiously on the throne.

He looked at the map in front of him, clenched his hands tightly into fists, raised and put them down. After a while, he finally made up his mind, pointed at the map and shouted: "Behead! Behead! Behead Chang Qing!"

"Your Majesty, this is impossible!" Gao Lishi, who was standing at the head of the army, immediately stepped forward to dissuade him. He exhorted anxiously: "Feng Changqing hastily accepted the challenge and could only recruit a group of rabble in Luoyang City. It is inevitable that he will make mistakes. Now he is rebelling. The army is approaching Tongguan with arrogance and arrogance. At this critical moment, killing generals before the battle will damage the morale of our army. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Li Longji's pale beard trembled, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "He lost the Eastern Capital of the Tang Dynasty and fled back to Tongguan by himself! He even used monstrous words to confuse the people, shake the morale of the army, and incited Gao Xianzhi to retreat to Tongguan together. ! I think they are in secret collusion with the rebels and want to betray Tongguan and surrender in order to gain wealth!"

Gao Lishi knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head and remonstrated in a low voice: "Your Majesty! How can you believe such words! Bian Lingcheng is a villain. He secretly resented the failure to ask for bribes from Gao Xianzhi in the past, and he must be the same today. How can your Majesty destroy the Great Wall with the words of a small person in order to seek personal revenge?"

"You...you..." Li Longji pointed at Gao Lishi tremblingly with his hand, his lips trembled twice, and he cursed angrily: "Gao Lishi! How dare you compare me to that Liu Yilong?! Do you really think you are fighting? With my favor, can you talk nonsense?"

"Your Majesty! If you don't listen to your advice, it's too late to regret it!" Gao Lishi burst into tears, unable to control his grief.

That wise and decisive Saburo of the past, where have you been?He cried out in his heart.

Frankly speaking, except for the fact that Li Bai did something that was not very authentic, he was really a virtuous official.

But then again, when Li Bai took off his boots, he was generous if he could bear it, and it was human nature if he couldn't bear it.

"My decision has been made!" Li Longji's eyes widened, and he ordered angrily: "Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, these two have lost their masters and humiliated the country, secretly colluded with the rebels...kill them!"

He looked at Gao Lishi: "Anyone who dares to plead for mercy for these two dogs will be killed!"

After that, Li Longji angrily walked away, leaving Gao Lishi still kneeling.

How much he wanted to persuade Li Longji, but he knew the emperor who had been with him for decades very well. As long as it was something he decided, no one could change his mind.

Is the Tang Dynasty really going to follow in the footsteps of Liu Song and destroy the Great Wall?
Gao Lishi gradually despaired. No, I must do something for the Tang Dynasty...

But he found in despair that although he was one of the best figures in the empire, he could do nothing in the face of such an arbitrary and fatuous lord.

Not to mention Gao Lishi, who secretly resented his incompetence. Bian Lingcheng, who had received the order at this time, wished he could fly back to Tongguan with wings to avenge Gao Xianzhi for not doing things.He deliberately put on a fast horse and issued a death order to his followers, making sure to reach Tongguan before dark.

When he arrived at his destination, Feng Changqing was attending army training.He asked Feng Changqing to be taken to Yinan West Street. He sat on a chair and waited leisurely for Feng Changqing's arrival.

Soon, Feng Changqing was brought to him by his entourage.

"I've seen the Border Patrol Army."

Feng Changqing saluted respectfully. He knew that this was an extraordinary period. In addition, Bian Lingcheng had always been at odds with Gao Xianzhi. He tried his best to avoid making mistakes, lest Bian Lingcheng find an excuse to trouble Gao Xianzhi. .

"Exemption."

Bian Lingcheng didn't care too much about the dying person. He stared at Feng Changqing for a long time, until he felt the latter's heart trembling, and then he read the order loudly in a feminine voice.

"According to the emperor's order, kill the rebellious Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi!"

"Rebellion?" Feng Changqing was stunned. As soon as he raised his head, he was held down by Bian Lingcheng's entourage.He struggled hard and protested loudly: "What kind of rebellion? Tell me clearly!"

"Your Majesty, Shengming Zhuzhao, has long discovered that you and Gao Xianzhi are secretly colluding with the rebels." Bian Lingcheng said in a sinister tone. Just halfway through his words, he heard the noise outside.

He stopped talking and looked outside the house. Gao Xianzhi came in with a group of soldiers.

Bian Lingcheng didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and a team of swordsmen poured out of the house, with sanitation guards on his left and right.

"Hey, isn't this a tall and handsome man?" Bian Lingcheng took out a bright yellow imperial edict and said, "You came at the right time, and His Majesty also has a favor for you."

Seeing Bian Lingcheng take out the imperial edict, Gao Xianzhi had no choice but to kneel down.

After reading out the decree, Gao Xianzhi raised his head angrily, his tiger eyes red: "It is true that I am guilty of withdrawing from the army, and I will not give up even if I die, but to say that I withheld military pay and secretly conspired with the rebels is a naked frame-up!"

"The sky is above, the earth is below, and there are these brothers who follow me. Don't the border supervisors know what kind of person I am?"

At this point, Gao Xianzhi stretched out his hand and beat his chest and shouted loudly: "Since I left Chang'an from the east, I have recruited tens of thousands of athletes. Although the rewards promised by the court are few and the soldiers are not complete, I, Gao Xianzhi, have never deducted anything. A person’s salary or reward!”

"The reason I led the army here is because I want to hold on to the dangerous position of Tongguan, not because I am afraid of the enemy. If I am really afraid of the rebels, or have some secret collusion with the rebels, you can tell me frankly; if I don't have this It’s my fault, you should plead my grievances!”

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers who followed Gao Xianzhi shouted injustice in unison, and their voices were earth-shattering.

Feng Changqing on the side sighed, took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Bian Lingcheng with both hands: "After my death, I hope that your majesty will not underestimate the traitors, and the world will be peaceful, and we can wait for this... This letter is a form of apology from Chang Qing, and I hope that the supervisor will hand it over to His Majesty."

Gao Xianzhi took a deep look at Bian Lingcheng. He knew that today was the day of his death no matter what, so he no longer protested. Instead, he looked at Feng Changqing, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and said with tears: "Feng Changqing" Second, you and I have known each other for many years. From poverty to prominence, and now to being a prisoner, I promoted you step by step to judge, and then to succeed me as the governor of Anxi. But I never thought that you and I would die together today. Department, maybe this is fate..."

"Brother Gao, I hope you and I will be brothers again in the next life and serve the Tang Dynasty together!" Feng Changqing's voice was sad.

Bian Lingcheng waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been prepared stepped forward and raised the Mo Dao in their hands high.

　Historically, Feng Changqing died first, and Gao Xianzhi was captured by Bian Lingcheng at the government office.

　　But what Gao Xianzhi said is basically the original words I translated from the old Tang Dynasty book. To be honest, when I first saw this, I really wanted to kill Li Longji...
