    Chapter 11 The End of the Tang Dynasty

    The peace in the south of the Yangtze River seemed to have been calm in the summer of the second year of Dingwu. Everyone in the world thought that it was normal for the Great Zhou Dynasty to unify the world. The reaction from various places was nothing more than that the chief officials from all over the country came up to congratulate the emperor on his unification.  In the world, those who should be doing business are doing business, and those who should be busy with business are busy with business, and commerce is once again busy. After all, it turns out that Jiangnan is actually controlled by Li Tang, and business between the north and the south is still limited.  Please familiarize yourself with the domain name.

    It's good now. The world has returned to Zhou Dynasty, and business can flow smoothly from north to south. In addition, the actual war has officially ended. The war that has swept the entire Tang Dynasty for more than three years since An Lushan raised his troops is over. The war is over.  Afterwards, people settled down and felt that the stability at this time was simply the most precious thing, and the obedience of all the people was raised to a new level. As the saying goes, after the war against lu¨¤n, there must be great governance. As long as the ruling class does not make major decision-making mistakes, then  The prosperity of the whole country can be expected.

    A fast horse is galloping on the official road. The knight on the horse is wearing leather armor and a red vest. This is a sign of an urgent messenger. I don't know how many war horses have been changed. The horse is not changed when the person is replaced.  The galloping made this cavalryman, who did not look like a Han Chinese, also have a messy beard and looked very haggard, but Chang'an was right in front of him, and this cavalryman who had galloped thousands of miles from Anxi also showed joy.  expression, the mission is about to be completed.

    When the messenger knight set foot on the famous Zhuque Street in Chang'an, a convoy entering Chang'an from the east also set foot on the street of Zhuque Street. This team was very strange. There were at least 5,000 soldiers escorting the team. In Chang'an m¨¦n  The 4,000 people outside were dispersed into the East Guards City, the four acropolis outside Chang'an City, and a thousand cavalry were left to escort them into the city.

    You must know that if foreign troops want to enter Chang'an City, they cannot exceed 500, not to mention that these cavalrymen look like elite warriors at first sight. Of course, the supervisor and general of the city gate at that time did not dare to let these cavalrymen into the city until they arrived.  At the request of the general of the cavalry team, he went to Anqing Palace to obtain an imperial edict before allowing the cavalry team to enter the city.

    The m¨¦n looked at the tall and strong horses entering the city in neat lines. Although the blades of all the horses were wrapped with a piece of black cloth to show safety, what was the reason for the fierce murderous aura on the knights?  It can't be guaranteed. The governor general is the general of the city gate on duty, which is equivalent to the official position of brigade commander. He has five hundred soldiers under his command. Half of Chang'an's forbidden army is composed of the original Tang army's surrendered troops, but they perform functions such as city defense men.  Responsibilities such as patrolling streets during the day.

    Li Zuoguo, who is truly capable of fighting, has some elites in the palace and outside the city. They rotate once a month. Those elites are the main defense force of Chang'an City. In addition to standing guard in the palace, they are also responsible for the surrounding areas of Chang'an City.  For defense, these elite soldiers, who fought as naturally as eating, drinking and sleeping, even ran to the bottom of Tongguan. If this team really did not get Li Zuoguo's consent, it would not have been able to reach Chang'an City and would have been stopped by the imperial army outside.

    The guard guarding the gate, whose surname was Zhao, looked at the knights who were obviously much tougher than his own men entering the city. His eyes were full of fire. A team standing next to him was looking at these cavalrymen who were looking at them intently and said sourly.  : "It's so impressive. I wonder what the palace thinks? It would be terrible if these thousand cavalrymen who have been in battle really start a fight in the city."

    The guard general surnamed Zhao turned his head and glanced at the captain: "What nonsense are you talking about? The person who sent this soldier and horse just now made it very clear that this is the m¨¦nji¨¡o of the Holy Emperor. It is not the imperial edict. It is the former general."  Under his command, the leader is General Wu."

    The team was startled and asked: "Are they the two heroes of the Wu family who followed the Holy Shang to defeat Luoyang?"

    "Exactly, the two generals Wu Zhen and Wu Lie are now following the former general Li Hu. Wasn't there news a few days ago that Jiangnan has been decided? In order to be able to participate in the former general's operation to destroy the country, the two generals Wu, as cavalry generals, actually  I became an infantry general, and now I am returning to Chang'an. I guess there are probably some important prisoners escorting me. 3¡à35686688" Guard general Zhao said with his chin. At this time, there happened to be several heavily covered carriages in this group.  The cavalry's protection passed by the city gate, and all the military attach¨¦s standing at the city gate were suddenly stunned when they heard the words of the military general named Zhao.

    The team member who spoke earlier opened his eyes wide and said, "Could it be the one who was originally in Chang'an?"

    The military attach¨¦ surnamed Zhao glared at him fiercely and said: "Mo Lu¨¤n said, are these things something that we, a small garrison, can know?" Then he looked around and cursed: "You dead bodies, why are you still here?"  Let¡¯s go, no need to stand at the gate of the city? Get out of here.¡±

    The officers and soldiers around them dispersed in a hurry. The more than two hundred officers and soldiers who had their turn to stand at the gate did not have any influence. Instead, they were a little more energetic by the elite cavalry. They all stood up straight, trying to show that they were also elite soldiers.  One thousand cavalry moved faster, and the blocked mendong soon resumed its busy scene of carriages and horses after the cavalry entered the city.?

    The cavalryman from Anxi was waiting in a huge official wing next to Anqing Palace. This was the Military Aircraft Department established after Li Zuoguo was founded. The Military Aircraft Department did not have the power to directly mobilize troops. It gathered all the military aircraft in the world and organized them.  Each military office will analyze and come up with the best solution before recommending it to the military. Currently, the top officer of the Military Aircraft Department is Dingxi Gong Li Yuexing. Li Yuexing holds too many titles. In fact, the real responsibility of the Military Aircraft Department is the four deputy positions. Li Yuexing  Headed by Gui Nhen, he was the chief officer of Qinglong Yamen of the Military Department, followed by Liu Yue, Gao Chengfeng, and Li Guoduan. These three were all one of Li Bai's eighteen disciples and could be regarded as Li Zuoguo's confidants. They were respectively in charge of Baihu Yamen, Zhuque Yamen and Xuanwu Yamen.  Yamen.

    All reserve officers from military academies must serve as staff officers in the Military Aircraft Department for at least one year before they are sent to lead the army and become generals. Therefore, the Military Aircraft Department is also known as the cradle of reserve generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Li Guiren surrendered to Li Zuoguo, his subordinates  The troops were being reorganized in Luoyang, including soldiers from the Erhu tribe. Li Guiren also stayed there and reported to the military aircraft office every day. The new gadgets at the military aircraft office of the Great Zhou Dynasty opened Li Guiren's eyes. It really impressed Li Guiren.  The disappointment after Quy Nhon's military power was taken over was greatly alleviated.

    At this time, it was Li Guiren who was sitting in the Yamen. Soon the cavalryman who delivered the order got an opportunity to meet. A man who looked like an officer brought the cavalryman to the main hall. After giving his name, Li Guiren entered the hall.  Quy Nhon asked from above: "I have read the letter you brought. Please tell me specifically what is the situation at Dalun Pass now. Does General Duan have anything else to say?"

    The messenger said: "General, Dalun Pass has been closed to prepare for war due to the gathering of Tocharian troops. But it was a month ago. The current situation is unknown. A month ago, Tocharor, together with Xiaobolu,  The Eighteen Kingdoms including Daluo requested to build a new city between Anchisi Pass and Dalun Pass. At this time, the general directly refused, so Tochara asked to write to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, requesting permission to build it, but they gathered on their own.  The troops are strong, so General Duan immediately prepared to fight, and then sent his subordinates to report the news. I believe that the messengers from behind will arrive soon."

    After hearing this, Li Guiren closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Okay, you have worked hard. Go down and rest first."

    After the messenger went out, Li Guiren said to the people around him: "Change into my official uniform. I want to enter the palace to report back to the Holy Majesty."

    Li Guiren went to Anqing Palace to see Li Zuoguo, but he saw a thousand cavalry lined up in front of the gate of Anqing Palace. When Li Guiren asked, he found out that they were the cavalry under Wu Lie, and handed a small gold ingot to the gate of the gate.  The eunuch who delivered the message smiled and said: "General Li, this is a special order to send important people to see the Holy Emperor. I'm afraid you have to wait a moment. Your sign has been handed over to Sajia. Please wait here in the side hall first."  Wait, Your Majesty will definitely want to see you, so don't ask the Sa family to come and bring General Li in."

    What kind of person is Li Guiren? With these few clues, we knew who was coming, so he nodded with a smile, followed the eunuch to attack and waited for Li Zuoguo to summon him.

    In the Hanyuan Hall, Li Zuoguo was wearing a yellow robe and sitting high on a dragon chair. There were no other people in the hall. Only Zheng Chunyun stood beside Li Zuoguo. A group of guards stood at the entrance of the hall. The hall seemed empty. Below Li Zuoguo  Not far away, two people were standing with their heads bowed. The clothes they wore were of good quality, but they were regular clothes, and they were clean, but they always showed a bit of sadness.

    The person standing on the left is older, and the hair hanging out of the gauze hat is mostly white. The person standing next to him also looks older, with many wrinkles on his face and gray hair.

    Li Zuoguo¡¯s expression was strange, with a little anger, a little disdain, a little pity, and a little sadness. The old man suddenly raised his head and said to Li Zuoguo in a trembling voice: "Youwhat do you want to do with me?"

    When he raised his head, he saw that the old man was Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and the man beside him was Li Heng, Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty. The two Tang emperors were standing in the main hall of Zengjin's Tang Dynasty Palace in civilian clothes.  Among them, he stood in front of Li Zuoguo.

    "How dare you, the man who destroyed the country, dare to claim to be me, but you don't want to die?" Zheng Chunyun didn't have a good impression of Li Longji at all, so he directly rebuked him. Li Longji had already spent his ambition by this time, and was just a man who was afraid of death.  He was just an old man. When Zheng Chunyun shouted, he turned his face aside, shrank his body and murmured: "III made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

    His voice was still trembling, and there was a wry smile on his face, but he couldn't adapt to the change of status from the master of a country to a prisoner. It was very unnatural. And Li Heng beside him, he was a little green and pale, and there was no trace of it at all.  The courage to speak seemed to be inferior to that of Li Longji. Li Zuoguo looked at the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty with cold eyes, the contempt in his eyes getting stronger and stronger. His father was such a hero, but he died like this.  In the hands of people, it¡¯s really puzzling.

    Li Zuoguo spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, as if it was floating down from the sky."Li Longji, when I paid my respects to you in the Daming Palace, I was still a small fifth-grade general, and the Tang Dynasty was at its peak. Did you ever think that it would be today? You, the Anle Emperor, enjoyed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.  At that time, it was no longer concerned about government affairs, and Chang'an was filled with smoke and smoke. Yang Guozhong was appointed as a sycophant. An Lushan raised troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. My father, Li Siye, sent troops thousands of miles to fight for you, but you killed my father. Have you ever thought about it today, Li Longji?  How can you tell me?"

    Li Zuoguo's words were plain, but Li Longji broke into cold sweat. Li Siye's death was directly related to him. The older he got, the more Li Longji, who had enjoyed the most luxurious life, became more afraid of death, and he immediately argued:  "I was also deceived by the thief Yang Guozhong back then, and I regretted it afterwards. Yang Guozhong has been beheaded by Chen Xuanli. I only ask the Holy One to spare my life Wuwuwuwu."

    The huge contrast made Li Longji cry. Li Longji, who was in his seventies, had wrinkles on his face and white hair on his head, looking miserable. Although Li Heng was scared, he still took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty,  Father My father is old, but he was wrong back then. Please consider that I have treated you well and spare my father's life."

    Li Zuoguo looked at Li Heng. Li Heng was only fifty years old at this time, but he looked not much different from his father. It seemed that he had been suffering all day long in Jiangnan and had a hard time. He was very old. Back then, Li Zuoguo  After hearing the news of his father's death, he really wanted to kill both father and son with a thousand knives. But now looking at the pitiful looks of the two of them, Li Zuoguo suddenly felt uninterested. His father was a hero, but he died because of such people.  hand.

    Li Zuoguo closed his eyes, and the whole hall suddenly fell silent. A depressing atmosphere filled the air. Li Heng was also afraid of getting up at this time. He didn't know what Li Zuoguo would do with his father and son. Li Longji was old, and he was frightened.  His body suddenly felt weak and he wanted to collapse. Li Heng quickly supported his father and cast a pleading look at Li Zuoguo. However, Li Zuoguo closed his eyes in deep thought and did not see this look at all.

    After a while, when Li Heng became increasingly unable to hold Li Longji, Li Zuoguo spoke: "Although you are the one who killed my father, Li Longji, if my father knew that I wanted to kill the poor man in his seventies,  , I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll be unhappy too. I, Li Zuoguo, won¡¯t take your lives. I¡¯ll lock you up until you die. I¡¯ll also let you see what will happen to this country in my hands.¡±

    After Li Zuoguo made this decision, he suddenly felt relaxed all over, as if the boulder that had been weighing on his heart for many years was suddenly removed. Zheng Chunyun was stunned and whispered in Li Zuoguo's ear: "Your Majesty, this Li Longji was directly killed.  One of the murderers of the old master, doesn¡¯t he know the canonical punishment? Besides, the reason for starting the army was to avenge his father.¡±

    Li Zuoguo patted Zheng Chunyun on the shoulder and said: "Chang Nu, I know that you have always felt guilty for the death of your father. In fact, I did not kill these two father and son partly because of you. I can let go of my revenge for killing my father, Chang Nu.  Can't you let go of the burden in your heart? You haven't laughed for many years. You haven't even smiled when your brother got married. In fact, my wish is very simple, that is, to make everyone around me safe and happy. Chang Nu, you are like  Like my younger brother, I don¡¯t want you to always bear this responsibility. My father died for loyalty back then, which can be regarded as benevolence. So today, I have taken over the Tang Dynasty without any guilt. Let it go, or else forget it.  If you kill Li Longji, will you feel relieved, Chang Nu?"

    Li Zuoguo's words silenced Zheng Chunyun. Li Siye probably expected what Li Longji was going to do and left the city to receive the order without even informing Zheng Chunyun. Zheng Chunyun thought of this and looked up to see Li Zuoguo looking at him.  There was no trace of impurity in his eyes, only pure concern. At this moment, Zheng Chunyun felt a surge of heat in his chest, pressing against his throat, and the tears in his eyes immediately flowed out.

    Li Zuoguo smiled and said: "Look, you have the appearance of a young man now. Otherwise, how could you look like a flesh and blood person all day long? Even if Li Longji's life were exchanged for Chang Nu, you wouldn't be qualified to smile.  , Okay, you will be happy in the future. Even if this matter is over, you don¡¯t have to go to jail to arrange things for the two father and son later. Just find a place in Chang¡¯an to let them live in peace.  Bar."

    Zheng Chunyun nodded and wiped away his tears. Li Heng was happy to see Li Zuoguo not caring about the past. He suddenly relaxed and felt that Tui had softened. He was in similar condition to Li Longji. The two former emperors of the Tang Dynasty were crooked.  As if he was about to fall to the ground, Li Zuoguo laughed loudly, stood up, pointed at the two of them and said: "No matter how heroic the predecessors were, they can't stop future generations from being useless. Think about how heroic Taizong was in those days, but now he is only more than a hundred years old.  The Tang Dynasty will be wiped out, so you should live a good life and treat it as a dream."

    After saying that, Li Zuoguo ignored Li Longji and his son and turned directly into the back hall. Li Zuoguo walked quickly to Ciyun Hall where his mother was. Mrs. Wen seemed to know that Li Zuoguo was coming. She was dressed in neat Queen Mother uniforms, and all the palace maids and eunuchsNot in the room, Li Zuoguo knelt in front of Mrs. Wen as soon as he entered the door: "Mother, Li Longji's child was not killed."

    Mrs. Wen nodded, pulled Li Zuoguo up, and said, "If you don't kill him, you won't kill him. Your mother will support you in whatever you do, and so will your father, just like you did when you were going to start a horse business in Shule."

    Li Zuoguo¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. He grabbed his mother¡¯s hand and said, ¡°My father and mother have been worried about my child since he was a child. Li Longji¡¯s clothes are in shabby condition. I really don¡¯t want to order his death.¡±

    Wen Shi smiled, and Momo Li Zuoguo's head said: "Da Lang is a hero. Back then, even if your father saw you with a straight face, he was actually very beautiful in his heart. As soon as he returned to the room, he would proudly praise Da Lang.  , saying that Dalang is the most promising and thoughtful person in the Li family. The prosperity of the Li family lies in Dalang. Your father is right. Look, hasn¡¯t Dalang become a hero? He is also the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.  It¡¯s actually not bad not to kill him, after all, your father was also a minister of the Tang Dynasty back then.¡±

    Li Zuoguo saw the tears on his mother's face, but his whole expression was surprisingly calm. There was no hatred in his heart, but a sense of happy satisfaction reverberated in his chest. This was also a kind of relief, not only for Zheng Chunyun, but also for Zheng Chunyun.  Li Zuoguo and the Wen family are not the same

    For a moment, mother and son were speechless, and there was a warm silence in the room.

    The life and death of Li Longji and his son Chu Tianshu once told Li Zuoguo that it was best not to execute him, so as to better win over the people of the world. Li Zuoguo did not spare Li Longji for this reason, but truly let go of his hatred. Datang  It's over, the Great Zhou Dynasty is rising, and Li Zuoguo also wants Li Longji and Li Hengfu to see how high they can bring this empire to?
