Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

Daming Palace!

It has been less than half an hour since Chen E disappeared, Li Longji was restless, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, Gao Lishi lowered his head and dared not speak.

But all of a sudden, there were ripples in the hall, and Chen E stepped out, holding a bloody human head in his hand.

"You...how are you?"

Li Longji took several steps back in shock.

Chen E threw the head forward, and it rolled to Li Longji's feet, face up, with a huge forehead, it was the head of the Antarctic Immortal, and there was panic and pleading in the eyes of death.

"How are you doing? Do you want Mr. Shi?"

Li Longji's heart twitched violently, and he said sternly.

Chen E chuckled: "Your Majesty is too worried. Although Chen and Li's family have been related for a hundred years, although they ended up in the hands of His Majesty, the business is not a matter of affection. How could it be detrimental to His Majesty? I just want to remind you that after His Majesty's death, , I hope you don’t regret what you did today, so farewell!”

With that said, he cupped his hands and strode away.

Watching Chen E's back gradually go away, Li Longji felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if he had lost something permanently.

……

Back home, Chen E, together with Wen Jiao, mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the family servants were sent to the Daughter Country to reunite with Liang Yan's family. The old father was a servant of God and couldn't leave. Su'e, who was not yet awake, was arranged in Yang Chan's palace, and he himself took Li Lingyue out of the city for a circle, then changed his appearance and sneaked back to Chang'an, and lived in seclusion in the banquet building.

Half a month later, news came that the puppet king of Jin An Qingxu, together with Yan Zhuang, had secretly conspired with the eunuch Li Gou'er to assassinate An Lushan and establish himself as emperor. Gathering the defenders of the capital as a backup, they marched to Tongguan day and night, making it clear that they were here to pick the fruits of victory. This action aroused great dissatisfaction among the defenders of Tongguan.

Li Guangbi and Ge Shuhan led the army to fight, and they collapsed at the first touch. The whole army fled into the Shangluo Mountains south of Tongguan. More than 5000 ranks, more than [-] people surrendered, and the rest fled.

When the news came, Chang'an was shaken, wealthy merchants fled westward like crazy, Chang'an was no longer prosperous, the streets were full of fleeing crowds, vehicles and horses blocked the city gate for several miles, and people continued to join, It accumulates and grows.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the rebel army is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and they will be able to enter the city at the latest in the next day. Now the city is in chaos, and the courtiers and people are fleeing out of the city in a swarm. Please, Your Majesty, give me some advice!"

Eunuch Yuan Siyi knelt at the foot of the steps, weeping bitterly.

Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, as if in a daze, dazed and motionless, his eyes were sometimes sharp and sometimes remorseful, he never expected that as soon as Chen E left, the situation would take a turn for the worse, this is what he saw The country is about to be lost.

"How many soldiers are there in Chang'an now?"

Li Longji asked.

Yuan Siyi said with a mournful face: "Return to the Holy Lord, the left and right Longwu Army and the left and right Yulin Guards are less than 3000 people. It is difficult to count the soldiers in the two counties of Chang'an Wannian, but according to the estimates of the slaves, it is not bad to gather two to [-] people!"

Li Longji's eyes darkened and he almost passed out.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers who have not left are outside the palace, so make up your mind quickly!"

Gao Lishi sighed and persuaded.

Li Longji understood that it made him run away, and wanted him to pretend to be a wise king all his life, but it was a good thing, he couldn't even keep the capital, and he felt extremely ashamed in his heart, and for a moment, he had the idea of ​​the king dying to the country.

But it was only for a moment.

The older a person is, the more he fears death. If he can drag himself out, why should he give up his life for righteousness?

"That's it, that's it!"

Li Longji forced himself to be energetic, and gritted his teeth: "So what if you let the bandits succeed for a while, this Tang Dynasty is the world of my Li family after all, and no one can usurp it. The righteous men from all over the world will fight against the bandits together, pass the decree, and leave the palace tonight."

"promise!"

Gao Lishi saluted and left quickly.

As the decree was issued, everyone was in panic all day long, packing up the gold and silver.

There are [-] beauties in Li Longji's harem, and it is impossible to bring so many people with him when fleeing. All concubines and court ladies who were lucky enough to die by Li Longji and have no children will be given to death. One after another, the cry was loud.

There are many others who have never been lucky enough to be robbed by the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. The palace is in chaos, and only a very few can escape.

Seeing the chaos in the Daming Palace with her own eyes, Yuhuan was terrified and afraid that some soldiers would break into the palace. She never imagined that the Tang Dynasty, which was still blooming like a brocade just a moment ago, went from its heyday to its decline in just a short period of time. of a year.

Empress Wei was secretly happy, Li Longji was the one who wanted her to kill her, and he was a good emperor, but somehow he became a foolish emperor, and lost his family property in a lightning fast way.

However, Empress Wei still persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Holy Majesty will never abandon your Majesty if he abandons anyone, so let's clean it up quickly."

"Hey, Ben Gong is in a mess, just look at the arrangement!"

Yuhuan sighed, and Chen E's warning could not help appearing in her heart. Although Yang Guozhong was beheaded by Chen E, but going back to the source, Datang came to this point, which has something to do with her.

……

Banquet building!

Dongfang Shuo also sighed: "For a hundred years, you and I have watched the Tang Dynasty step by step towards prosperity, but it was destroyed overnight. The emperor fled in a hurry this time, and I am afraid that he will have no face to see the elders of Chang'an again."

Xi Lingyan sneered and said: "Brother, you underestimate him too much. Li Longji is the son of heaven, the father of Wanmin, and he pretends to be Kyushu and Wanfang in his heart. A mere Chang'an is nothing. His old Li family is from Taiyuan. As for those who came out, I'm sure that Li Longji will not give up, and after he has calmed down, he will recruit righteous men from all over the world, and send troops to fight for rebellion in the name of the court, Chen Zhuangyuan, is the concubine right?"

"Not bad!"

Chen E nodded and said: "Even if Li Longji is only for fame, he will hold back his strength and fight back to Chang'an, but I will not give him another chance. Now I will take the eldest princess to Shangluoshan to find the Tongguan defenders. As long as I win a big victory , you can take advantage of the situation to drive the rebels out of the pass, and then take advantage of Li Longji and his son's absence, you can mobilize the people, and Princess Yong will ascend the throne, and the event will be settled!"

Dongfang Shuo's eyes brightened and he said, "It's not too late to do this matter. I'm willing to attach myself to Princess Ji and do the work of dogs and horses!"

"it is good!"

Chen E responded readily. He knew that Dongfang Shuo was gaining political capital, but his constitutional monarchy was originally an all-inclusive compromise regime, so there was nothing wrong with having multiple Dongfang Shuos involved.

Immediately Chen E said again: "The eldest princess is going to change clothes, we will leave immediately!"

"Ok!"

Li Lingyue's beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

"Princess, come with me!"

Xi Lingyan smiled and took Li Lingyue to the back. When she came out, she was already dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark shirt with large sleeves, dignified and noble.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Chen E took Li Lingyue and Dongfang Shuo away, and after about an hour, he found Ge Shuhan and Li Guangbi.

"Chen Zhuangyuan, you are finally here!"

Seeing Chen E, the two heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No need to be too polite, how many soldiers are there in the army now?"
