"ah--"

Bang!

The gold-painted celadon smashed to the ground, and fragments popped up in front of the eunuch's feet, bowed down on his head. Li Yan's young man was extremely intelligent, but he could not accept the scene of a group of ministers blocking the door today.

"These civil and military officials are very respectful to me on weekdays, but when they are important, they go against me. They are bullying me for my young age, old ministers and loyal ministers. What are you doing now? They are not arrogant, I am the emperor, and they are the ministers! How can you block the emperor?!"

The anxious emperor swept his sleeves, swept his memorials on the desk, brushed the ink, paper and ink on the ground, ran to the hall pillar in discomfort, and kicked the golden lamp post down with one foot. The lamp oil flowed all over the ground, igniting flames, illuminating the emperor's anger.

"Oh, what is your Majesty doing?"

Tian Lingzi hurriedly ran to the fire and blew a few breaths, turned around and ran to open the palace gate, called the guards, and the eunuch put out the fire.

The smoke was still surging, and Tian Lingzi closed the door again and came back, "Your Majesty, why bother to get angry for these foreign ministers and hurt yourself. I will let the people below take a bowl of iced cherry cheese to relieve the anger."

The eunuch bowed and retreated a few steps before the emperor called him "Come back!". Li Yan looked at the eunuch sideways, raised his hand and shook it, and finally he still hung down and carried it behind him.

"I understand today. I was too kind to these ministers in the past. Usually, you and me in the court are quarrels and they are all for me to show them. At this time, you will see the great companion and they will all unite to stop me and cause trouble for me."

He held his hands in his arms, and the more he spoke, he became more angry, and he thought about a lot of things.

"......... The rebels will be approaching Tongguan. If I am still in Chang'an, once Tongguan is broken, I will be trapped in the city. How can I send troops and generals? Taking the overall situation? Then when I go to Shu, I not only avoid the edge, but also prepare for returning to Chang'an in the future. They are smart all day long, but how can they not see it? Or do I see it, just let me stay and see how loyal and brave they are? Put the king of a country in a dangerous place. Who do these old people want to show it? When a play is blocked, how will history books evaluate me in the future?! These old people..."

Li Yan was thirsty, took a cup and took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, and continued, "There is also that Lu Xie, who was arrogant last time, and caused a bribery trend, which led to the unfavorable war in several states. Seeing that he was old, he had no credit and worked hard. Before he could settle the debt with him, he was eager to come out and disgust me?"

"Don't knock..." The emperor punched the corner of the table, which made the candlestick shake twice. He gritted his teeth: "If you don't knock on these old people, you won't know if I am the emperor! That Lu Xie, I want to stop his appearance and go back and continue to be his prince's guest!"

Tian Lingzi stood beneath and listened quietly. A little eunuch came in at the side door, handed him a note, took it and looked at the man with a blank expression. He looked at the emperor who was still indignant and insulting, bowed his body and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the incident of the southern tour of Shu was spread from the palace."

The emperor, who was still waving his hands and scolding, stopped, turned his head and saw the note in Tian Lingzi's hand. His cheeks bulged, he gritted his teeth and sat on the chair, looking straight at the shaking lampshade.

"I know who it is when I burned the note."

"Your Majesty...is not good at home?"

"Gu Changshi's palace has two dynasties, including me, I have three dynasties. I can't bear it at such an old age, let alone what I should do with the emperor's aunt? Then my aunt is angry, what should I do if I beat me? Are you punished for me?"

In the last sentence, he was joking, but his anger just now would not pass by just a joke.

The lights reflected the shadow of the emperor who was silent immediately cast on the window frames, the eaves of the palace outside the palace, and the carved railings and floor tiles bathed in the moonlight. Soon, the bright moon disappeared from the clouds, and the dark sky and earth rose up, and the endless palaces and towers, the streets and alleys outside were gradually wrapped in the morning light.

In Yong'anfang, the peddler shouted in the streets, and the peddler carrying the load passed by. Geng Qing was called up early in the morning, and the guards of the Prince Consort's Mansion were waiting outside.

Wang Jinqiu and Qiao Niang prepared breakfast and served a bowl of it for the guard, giving some small favors and making good relationships. After all, his son needs to pay attention to what he needs to do when doing things in a powerful family. The guard may not remind him of this small favor.

When Geng Qing came down from the building, the guard of the Prince Consort's Mansion quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and bowed: "I have met Geng Langjun, the Prince Consort, and Your Highness to ask you to come through the Mansion."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know."

Geng Qing nodded in contemplation, letting him stay for a while, then rolled up his cuffs, poured water into the water tank and rubbed it on his face. His casual appearance made the guards a little stunned. He didn't look like someone who could enter and exit the Prince Consort's Mansion at will, but instead looked like an ordinary citizen.

However, the more this happened, the more the guards dared not look down on him. They waited respectfully until the young man finished washing up, went to the stove to take dishes and chopsticks, scooped meat porridge, squatted outside the shed and finished eating, and then followed him out of the courtyard.

The guard rode a horse and led the way. When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he was soon invited by the manager. The officials from the front yard came out in groups of three or three, and most of them did not know Geng Qing. Instead, the manager next to him remembered the names of the officials and watched them leave.

After waiting for someone to leave, the manager asked Geng Qing to continue moving forward.

"At the morning of the morning, many officials in the city came, accompanied by Zheng Xiang, the prince consort and His Highness. Now these are the second batch."

"For what happened yesterday?"

"Your husband knows it all? Oh, that's not right. When you are here, you'll go in by yourself. It's probably only the prince consort inside."

Geng Qing bowed to the old man, slightly lifted his lower robe and stepped onto the stone steps and walked into a side wing in the front yard. This is also a place for guests to meet. It is not as serious as the central hall. A pair of wooden couches sticking to the wall, a flower and bird screen in the middle, and several tables and chairs were placed on both sides.

When he came in, the first prince-in-law Yu Cong was putting down the teacup. When he saw Geng Qing coming in, he waved his hand and told him not to salute, "Come here and sit down."

Geng Qing came here more than ten times, and he was familiar with it. The prince consort in front of him had many teachings, and in fact he had a friendship between teachers and students.

After sitting down, a maid came to pour tea, and Geng Qing raised his hands at the seat to the prince-consort.

"Mr. Prince Consort, ask Geng to come over, I wonder what's going on?"

On the other side, the old man had not recovered before. At this time, his heart fire was burned vigorously and he was in a subtle state. He seemed to be energetic, but in fact he looked weak.

He pursed his lips tightly, and after a while, he slowly spoke, and only said one sentence.

"Geng Langjun, please help me with something."

The old man is not the kind of person who opens the city gate to seek survival. He has not yet fallen even though he endured the pain. It is because the belief in protecting Chang'an has been holding on until now.

Geng Qing looked at him and nodded in admiration.

There was still some time before the rebels attacked Tongguan. The civil and military officials in the city still wanted to make a try. Geng Qing also did some things and came up with ideas to sort out the information. The powerful civil and military officials ran around the city and called on all sides to prepare more food, clothing, and weapons for the soldiers in Tongguan ahead.

He even tried to persuade Tian Lingzi to lead the Ten Army of Shence and split a portion of them to help Tongguan in preparation. For a time, he brought countless quick horses from the inner city of Chang'an City and rushed to Shu, Fengxiang, Hedong, Hexi, Xiazhou, etc....the surrounding prefectures and counties.

The yamen runners of Jingzhaoyi also brought official documents to the front of Chang'an and behind Tongguan, ordering or urging the people and villagers in many places to move away. If possible, they will destroy the crops in the fields and implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.

Time flies in October. To the west of Tongguan and east of Chang'an, the people who took their families away, either crossed the Wei River to the north to join their relatives, or headed south.

In this vast migrant disciple, the army had already started to move frequently, sending the food and fodder he had collected and his clothes and armor to the front line, and the troops on the pass were also making various mobilizations to build defensive fortifications.

After doing all this, I could only wait quietly.

In mid-October, when the weather was the hottest, General Chongtian Huang Chao also completed the rest and replenishment of soldiers in Luoyang at the same time.

The vast army was setting off, and the flags were standing endlessly and spreading their vision. A man named Huang Chao rode on his war horse, stroking the mane on the horse's neck, and his eyes seemed to have a scorching light to look at Tongguan to the west.
