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

A fight started and ended quickly. By the time Li Longji came to his senses, the Protectorate Army had become prisoners.

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible. How could the National Guard Army be so weak?"

Looking at the commander of the National Defense Army who was squatting on the ground and holding his head, Li Longji's face was unusually pale, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

These generals were all elites he secretly trained when he was a prince, and they were specially used to protect the safety of Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, he was beaten by a mere three thousand cattle guards and was unable to fight back.

This shock was far stronger than when he learned that the Dashi army had invaded the Tang Dynasty.

In the complicated eyes of everyone, Liu Zi escorted the two generals of the National Defense Army up the steps and clasped their fists at Fan Xin.

"Your Highness, I have caught two generals who intend to rebel. How should I deal with them?"

Fan Xin glanced at Guo Zhiyun, chuckled and scolded.

"You don't understand the rules. Didn't you see the Hedong Defense Envoy here? Ask me what I am doing."

"Also, I am no longer the King of Yan. I have been demoted to the position of Marquis of Northern Xinjiang. From now on, you will call me Lord Marquis!"

Liu Zi held back his smile and cupped his fists, turned around and faced Guo Zhiyun.

"General Guo, these two rebel generals misinterpreted your orders without authorization and intended to attack the imperial guards. What do you think we should do?"

After hearing these words, Guo Zhiyun's face turned blue and white, his hands clenched tightly together, and his face hurt, as if he had been slapped hundreds of times in public.

These damn guys not only killed his subordinates, but also forced him to order the execution of the generals of the National Defense Army. It was so abominable!

Guo Zhiyun wanted to kill these guys with his own hands, but he didn't dare because the burly man in front of him had already touched the handle of the knife at his waist.

After thinking this, Guo Zhiyun took a deep breath and said solemnly.

"My general just ordered the Yulin Guard rebels to be taken down. These two guys went to attack your Qianniu Guards. They are absolutely bastards."

"Come here, kill these two!"

As soon as these words came out, the remnants of the Protectorate Army were stunned, especially the two generals who were talking to each other, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Defense Envoy, what did you say? You actually want to kill the two of us? We are all following your orders!"

"Yes, brothers are working hard for you, but in the end you want to kill us?"

"Shut up!" Guo Zhiyun shouted and interrupted: The general asked you to capture the rebels, but who told you to attack Qianniu Guard. "

"Come here, why don't you kill these two people quickly!"

Seeing that the outcome was destined, the two commanders of the National Defense Army laughed miserably, and were dragged down and beheaded by the sergeant.

Looking at the two heads, Guo Zhiyun's heart was bleeding.

Although these people were not his subordinates, they were still working for him. It would be a pity to kill them like this now.

"People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. I, the general, have nothing to do. If you want to complain, just blame you for your bad fate!"

With a secret sigh in his heart, Guo Zhiyun gathered his mood and handed Fan Xingong his hand.

"King Yan is indeed a legendary figure who is famous in the Tang Dynasty. He was able to remain calm and composed under this general's temptation. It shows that he has no intention of rebellion in his heart."

Having said this, he turned to Li Longji, who had a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, after this test, Fan Xin has proven that he is worthy of the Tang Dynasty. General Mo believes that he should be restored to his royal title to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties."

"General Guo is right. I think this is just a misunderstanding between the court and the Fan family. There is no need to make it so solemn."

Zhang said sighed and echoed.

"I second the proposal!" All civil and military officials bowed.

Seeing the ministers admonishing him, Li Longji knew that the situation was over, so he had to pretend to be calm.

"Forget it, since Fan Qing is worthy of the imperial court, let's forget it."

"The person who came here has made a decree to immediately restore Fan Xinyan to the title of Prince of Yan, and to confer on his daughter the title of Princess of Zhenguo, Shangguan Wan'er as Lady of Qi State, and Yinzhu as Lady of Jin State.

"Ying Niang, the chief treasurer of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, is awarded the title of fifth-grade Zhongsan doctor, and all the tax rates paid by her chambers of commerce will be reduced by 50%..."

Listening to the emperor formulating his decree, the civil and military officials present had extremely complicated thoughts.

Even one of Fan Xin's servants could be awarded the fifth rank, which shows how much the emperor spent to stabilize Fan Xin.

At the same time, it also shows that Fan Xin's strength is no longer what it used to be, and even the imperial court has to bow to him.

After formulating the imperial edict, Li Longji calmed down and smiled lightly.

"How about Fan Aiqing, are you satisfied with this reward?"

Fan Xin smiled slightly and cupped his hands slightly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's getting late. I'll take a step forward and say goodbye!" After saying that, he led a group of subordinates and left Yingtianmen.

Looking at the figure gradually going away, Li Longji, who was originally smiling, suddenly looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Lishi and all the civil and military officials all changed their expressions and rushed towards Li Longji.

In the worried eyes of the ministers, Li Longji tremblingly raised his finger and pointed at Fan Xin's back, vomiting blood and saying.

"Fan Xin, if I don't kill you, God will send you to death!"

"His Majesty!"

……

At night, Xingqing Palace.

Several important officials of the imperial court stood at the door, stretching their heads and looking in, with anxious looks in their eyes.

Two hours have passed since the emperor vomited blood and fell into a coma. During these two hours, no news came out, and several ministers couldn't help but feel worried.

"Xiang Zhang, do you think His Majesty's dragon body doesn't matter?" Li Linfu asked in a low voice.

Glancing at him, Zhang Shuo shook his head while stroking his beard.

"I don't know the specific situation. I'd better wait until the imperial doctor comes out."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Li Linfu returned to his seat, his eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when everyone was having different thoughts, the palace door suddenly opened, and two imperial doctors walked out carrying medicine boxes. When they met Zhang Shuo and others, they bowed and left.

Then Gao Lishi came out and said to everyone.

"Prime Minister Zhang, Prime Minister Li, General Guo, your Majesty invites you to come in."

The three of them looked at each other, nodded politely and walked into the Xingqing Hall.

The smell of medicine filled the hall, and several servants knelt on the ground with their heads lowered and said nothing.

Concubine Wu Hui sat in front of the bed and took care of Li Longji who was lying on the bed.

When he saw them coming, he wiped his eyes and led the palace maid out.

As the palace door closed again, Li Longji sat up from the bed and looked at Guo Zhiyun with cold eyes.

"I had high hopes for you in vain. Is this how you repay me?"

"Do you know that the scene at Yingtianmen today has made me lose all face!" A deafening roar echoed throughout the hall.

Guo Zhiyun knelt on the ground with a pop and said with a look of shame.

"Your Majesty, I have disgraced you, the incompetent one, and you really deserve death!"

"But before I die, I will have something to say!"

"Say!"

"Yes!" Guo Zhiyun knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I never thought that the Chinese army defending Luoyang would be so incompetent. They couldn't even defeat a few Thousand Niu Guards!" "
