In 756 AD, An Lushan captured Tongguan, and 200,000 soldiers were wiped out. Commander-in-Chief Ge Han Shu was arrested. Between An Lushan's army and Chang 'an, it became Ma Pingchuan, and the Anshi Rebellion reached its climax.
Strangely, An Lushan did not directly attack Chang 'an. He slowed down in Tongguan, while the capital of the Tang Dynasty was exploding.
The people are already packing up and running around, some to Gansu, some to Sichuan, and some learned scholars, dragging their children to the south, fantasizing about the partition of the north and the south after the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
In order to stabilize the situation, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, made a speech from the rostrum, saying that he would stick to Chang 'an and announced a series of appointments. Li Kun, the wise king (read Jiao), was appointed as our Bo, leading the army to Beijing, Cui Guangyuan stayed in An, and the eunuch Bian Lingcheng was in charge of the warehouse.
In the evening, Chen, the chief executive of the Imperial City, gathered urgently, took the eunuch Gao Lishi, and gave the imperial army a year-end bonus in advance, which was horribly high. At the same time, he ordered all imperial soldiers to be vigilant and prepare for the battle.
The horses that were once kept in the palace were also pulled into the playground.
In the palace where the emperor and his daughters-in-law live, the situation is a bit chaotic. Everyone is busy packing. Crying, cursing, and the sound of objects falling and breaking remind Li Longji that even if he dies in the future, he will have no face to face his ancestors.
"Your majesty, stay green, not afraid of no firewood. Let's go. There's no time, "Gao Lishi urged anxiously.
Li Longji didn't speak, with the hand stroked every piece of decoration in the room.
The next day, few officials stayed in Beijing, less than one fifth of them. They lined up in the palace to prepare for the early morning, only to find that the usual guards were gone, the little eunuch who guided them was gone, and the ladies-in-waiting were not even there.
When being an official in Beijing is so special, I know the reason as soon as I think about it. They poured into the inner court, where the emperor and his concubines lived, and found it deserted. Occasionally, several eunuchs and maids were picking up things, but they were all in a hurry.
"Run, the emperor abandoned the city!"
Wow, it ignited everyone's nerves. Officials ran home, packed their bags and walked out of Beijing, and finally stayed here, either reluctant to go, unable to walk, or chanting the treasures left by the rich family.
Cui Guangyuan, with his leader, killed more than a dozen fugitives outside the city gate, but did not stabilize the situation. He returned to the office, wrote a letter of surrender and gave it to An Lushan. The war of An Shi Rebellion finally reached Chang 'an.
Without Chang 'an, life will go on.
An Lushan led troops here and took away the gold, silver and jewels left by the emperor, but the Tang Xuanzong there had a hard time.
In wartime, food is the most precious thing. The gold and silver brought by the emperor cannot be eaten at all. After running all day, hungry adults are hungry and need something to eat, but how can ordinary people give food to others?
Those parents who are eager to please the emperor have long since left. They can only spend ten times or a hundred times more than usual to eat. Still, they are hungry.
After a few days' travel, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was very tired. The only comfort is that Yang Guifei is still with him.
After living together for ten years, the first couple in the Tang Dynasty wanted to divorce several times, even to the point of separation, and finally they were able to be together. Time has proved that their feelings can stand the test.
Just as the old couple lamented their fate, a plot against Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took place.
It was the son and eunuch Li who planned this incident, and Li was the most important pawn in this incident and the general of the court, Chen.
The soldiers were tired, hungry and sleepy, and their mood fluctuated greatly. In such an environment, neither the Ninth Five-Year Plan emperor nor the prime minister above him is as useful as the general's shouting.
The soldiers are dissatisfied with the status quo, and one possible result is mutiny. Of course, there must be some people running halfway.
Ma Wei, a small town located in Xingping City, Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, was founded by Ma Wei, a military attache in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The small town is surrounded by walls. At this time, people go to the building and become an empty city.
On this day, Tang Xuanzong and his party stopped at Mawei and ran all day. People are tired and hungry and need to have a rest.
A group of soldiers gathered outside the camp to protest, demanding that the emperor kill Prime Minister Yang, who was the goal announced by An Lushan when he launched the rebellion and the root of the Anshi Rebellion.
While Yang is not here, he went to the nearby county government to find food.
When Yang came back on a pony, he saw this group of people from a distance, shouting and thinking about seeing the situation, but he was caught by several savages.
Because of the language barrier, these soldiers from the grassland complained endlessly to Yang that there was no food.
This is an extraordinary period. This kind of grassland warrior is very effective. Yang is very patient, speaks fluent prairie cavity and explains it to them.
"Yang and Hu people have rebelled!"
I don't know who shouted a voice, and all the soldiers who were already emotional flocked to Yang, blocking him in the post office and hacking him to death.
Killing people, seeing blood, soldiers go crazy. They found Yang's wife, son and daughter-in-law and killed them all. Some ministers came forward and killed them. Now they gathered in front of the emperor's tent and demanded punishment for those who introduced Yang to the court.
Li Longji helped Gao Lishi. When the 70-year-old man stood in front of the brave soldier, the crowd was quiet.
These soldiers' brothers, with bloody broadswords, shouted for killing. When they saw the old man, they suddenly lost their voices.
Li Longji looked at Commander Chen, meaning to ask what happened.
Chen's eyes and contact, he knelt down and said nothing.
Emperor Li Longji was obviously angry and narrowed his eyes.
At this time, the soldiers suddenly got excited, clenched the handle, and their eyes were red, as if they were going to pounce on the old emperor at any time and ask him why a good country had become like this.
In the face of this group of soldiers, Li Longji was a little flustered. It suddenly occurred to him that in Yangzhou, Yang Guang, then emperor Yang Di, had met before he was killed. Will it be the same?
Eunuch Gao Lishi stepped forward and stood in front of Li Longji.
Please kill Yang Guifei! Chen knelt on the ground and spoke so loudly.
What?
Li and Li among the soldiers were also surprised.
Chen's words have deviated from the original plan.
Gao Lishi also kneel at will.
Around to be quiet again, one time in the past, seems to be a long time, and seems to be a few seconds later, in short, Li Longji sighed deeply, with the wave.
Gao Lishi stood up and walked back into Li Longji's bedroom. She stayed with a woman who was beautiful despite her travel-stained.
Outside the dialogue, Yang Yuhuan heard very clearly, she said nothing, followed Gao Lishi into the Buddhist temple.
After a wick, Gao Lishi ordered a corpse to be moved to Chen.
In this way, Yang died, and so did Yang Guifei. The soldiers' repression had a place to vent, and the crisis in Mayi seemed to have passed.
That night, two dark figures ran out of the tent and disappeared into the night.
The next day, before the army left, it was reported that the prince and his assistant, eunuch Li, were missing.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty didn't say anything after hearing the news, but Gao Lishi said to Chen, General, let's go.
