Tibet

A black figure jumped down from the roof, Yang Yuhuan threw herself into his arms, and the two kissed each other tightly.

Yang Yuhuan raised her pretty face, her beautiful eyes shining like gems, "Li Lang, take me away, I can't stay any longer."

Li Ye nodded, held her tightly in his arms again, kissed her lips,

After a while, Li Ye suddenly stopped. He faintly heard shouts of killing, and the mutiny began.

"Where is your maid?"

"A Bao and the other three are all next door. I asked them to go to bed early. Aunt Gongsun is also next door."

Li Ye was surprised. Aunt Gongsun was also here, so she must have known about his existence.

Li Ye didn't have time to think too much and grabbed Yang Yuhuan's hand, "Follow me!"

Li Ye pulled her around the back of Guanyin Hall and came to the small door. He pulled out his dagger, cut off the iron chain lock with one blow, and pushed the door open.

Just as the two of them left, Aunt Gongsun also ran to the side courtyard with three maids. Aunt Gongsun saw Li Ye taking Yang Yuhuan away, but she did not stop her. On the night Feilong died, she saw her mother lying down In Li Ye's arms, she understood everything.

Since the empress was leaving, she would not stay and die, so she left with her three little maids.

Outside the temple, Li Ye's men led the tall horse. Li Ye hugged Yang Yuhuan onto the horse. He jumped on the horse and wrapped Yang Yuhuan in his cloak. Yang Yuhuan hugged Li Ye tightly around the waist.

At this time, there were shouts of killing in the distance, and screams kept coming. Yang Yuhuan asked in horror: "Li Lang, what's going on?"

"There has been a mutiny. That's what Feilong told you back then. You will die here!"

"So you came to save me!"

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "It's God's will!"

Yang Yuhuan pressed her face against his chest and couldn't help crying.

Li Ye saw hundreds of black figures rushing towards him in the distance. He shook the reins and said, "Let's go!"

He led two hundred cavalrymen into the bamboo forest like a gust of wind and disappeared deep into the bamboo forest.

In a moment, three hundred soldiers, led by Zhonglang General Wang Enmao, rushed to the back door. He took the imperial concubine away on Chen Xuanli's order. He also brought a door hammer. Unexpectedly, the small door was opened with two clicks, and the soldiers They rushed into the Guanyin Hall.

The angry soldiers were making trouble, but the killing soldiers had made arrangements. They all had clear goals. First, Yang Guozhong's family was killed. Yang Guozhong was chopped into more than a dozen pieces. His wife Pei, three sons, daughter-in-law and two grandsons were all killed. They were killed by the soldiers and no one survived.

Immediately after Yang Qi, Yang Wei, Mrs. Han Guo and Mrs. Qin, they and their families were all killed. The soldiers wiped out the roots, even the children, and then Yang Guozhong's confidants Wei Fangjin, the censor, Zhongcheng Wei Fangjin and the official minister Zhangchou Jian. Joan was also killed.

The soldiers arrested and killed people according to the list, and almost none of Yang Guozhong's accomplices escaped.

Emperor Li Longji was alarmed by the cry of killing. He quickly pushed Yang Yupei away and asked loudly: "What happened?"

A eunuch rushed over and cried: "Your Majesty, there was a mutiny in the Longwu Army, and many people died. Duke Yuan went to question him, but he was shot to death by one of their arrows. The guards were desperately resisting."

Li Longji's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted quickly: "Where is Gao Lishi! Let him come to see me as soon as possible."

"Gao Weng is negotiating with them."

"I know."

Yang Yupei next to him was also frightened out of his mind. He hugged Li Longji and cried: "Your Majesty wants to save my life!"

Li Longji was upset and pushed her away, "Don't cry yet. Put on your clothes. How unbecoming it is to be seen naked!"

The two quickly put on their clothes. Li Longji poked a bit of window paper and looked out. In fact, he couldn't see anything here.

In the square in front, thousands of soldiers held torches, illuminating the entire temple vestibule like daylight.

Gao Lishi led dozens of guards to block them. At his feet, Yuan Siyi was hit by an arrow in the throat, his whole body twitched, and his life was disappearing little by little.

"Brothers, you can make any demands you have, but if you frighten the Holy Master like this, you won't get anything. Instead, you will be charged with regicide. Why bother?"

A general shouted loudly: "Anlushan's army entered Chang'an, and our families and children were being massacred. Who should bear this crime? The emperor favored Wuyang, which led to today's military disaster. Should the emperor give us a statement."

Gao Lishi sighed and said, "Where is Chen Xuanli? Let him come to see me."

The team moved out of the way, and Chen Xuanli came out, clasping his fists and saying: "The soldiers are so angry that I can't help it. I hope it can be resolved peacefully!"

"If you have any conditions, just put them forward!"

Chen Xuanli handed a piece of paper to the soldier, who handed it to Gao Lishi. Chen Xuanli said again: "Everyone in the Yang family has been killed, only Mrs. Guo Guo is left. Please hand her over! Otherwise, the public anger will not be quelled. .”

Gao Lishi saw that the handwriting on the note had already dried. It had been written for at least a day, and he understood immediately.

"Please keep quiet, I will report to the emperor!"

Gao Lishi turned around and entered the inner hall. He gave a few instructions to several guards, who immediately ran towards Guanyin Yuan.

Walking into the hall, Li Longji came up to him and asked urgently: "Gao Aiqing, what's going on?"

Gao Lishi sighed, "Your Majesty, the prince must have rebelled!"

"ah!"

Li Longji was stunned. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I should have destroyed this beast long ago."

"Your Majesty, it is very dangerous now. They have killed everyone in the Yang family. I am afraid that only Mrs. Guo Guo and the imperial concubine are left, and they will not let them go!"

"Where is my daughter! Was my daughter also killed by them?"

Yang Yupei rushed out with disheveled hair, eyes full of fear, "Gao Weng, is my daughter still alive?"

Gao Lishi shook his head and said: "Madam, your wife is the princess. The temple is currently not affected, but I'm afraid their target is madam."

At this time, two guards ran back and reported: "For the record, Gao Weng, we went to the Guanyin Hall to look for it. There was no one in the Guanyin Hall. The back door was wide open. The imperial concubine was gone. I heard that many soldiers came in. There was no blood on the ground." , maybe, maybe taken away.”

"What?"

Li Longji took two steps back in shock, "My beloved concubine was kidnapped. Who did it? That beast? How dare he?"

Li Longji was so angry that his eyes turned black and he fainted.

Everyone was so frightened that they rushed forward to rescue him, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

After a while, Li Longji slowly woke up. He gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Let him kill me! I want to see with my own eyes how he killed his father?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. They will really come in. They must have this plan."

Li Longji shouted that he didn't want to live, but he was really afraid that he was going to be killed.

He took the conditions without saying a word and looked at them carefully. In fact, there was only one condition, which was to issue an edict to abdicate.

"Can't I make him the prince and supervise the country?"

"Your Majesty, if the prince had been in charge of the country, there would not have been today's mutiny."

Li Longji nodded, "Feilong is right! The kingdoms that my soldiers have gained will also be lost by mutiny. It seems that there is God's will."

Li Longji glanced at Yang Yupei and saw her miserable face. He finally gritted his teeth and said: "Go and discuss with them. I can write an abdication edict, but I have conditions. They must let go of Mrs. Guo and give my concubine a chance. return,"

Gao Lishi went out to negotiate.

Not long after, Gao Lishi came back and said to Li Longji: "Chen Xuanli agreed to let Mrs. Guo go, but he said that they did not catch the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine ran away first."

"Nonsense! Where could she run to?"

"Your Majesty, it may be true. Because they are protected by Aunt Gongsun and taken care of by three palace maids, it is indeed possible for them to escape. This is not far from Chencang County. They may have escaped to Chencang County."

Li Longji was helpless. He knew in his heart that the royal struggle was extremely cruel. If he did not write this abdication edict, he would undoubtedly die, and the responsibility would be passed on to the mutinous soldiers.

And it can't be delayed. If it continues any longer, the prince will become impatient and will give the order to take action.

In order to save his life, Li Longji had no choice but to write an abdication edict, stamp it with the emperor's seal, and hand it to Gao Lishi together with the big seal.
