Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and others fled all the way and passed by the bridge. After everyone crossed the bridge, Yang Guozhong ordered the bridge to be burned.

"Why should I burn the bridge? People need to use it to escape? They cannot cut off their lives." Seeing the fire ignited and some people who could not cross the bridge across the bridge, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt unbearable.

"Your Majesty, it is important to block the road to chasing the anti-army. The people are unarmed and have their own way of life. The anti-army can plunder one or two at most and will not kill them indiscriminately." Yang Guozhong said.

The lives and deaths of the people are not in Yang Guozhong's eyes. Yang Guozhong was much nervous than Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. An Lushan rebelled under the banner of killing him. Once he was caught by An Lushan, he would probably die miserably. Therefore, he fled all the way and Yang Guozhong also continued to destroy the bridges he passed by.

"Boom--" The bridge was burned and smashed into the water.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's face twitched, his old eyes were filled with suddenness, he sighed, and climbed the carriage again without seeing any signs of cleanliness.

On the contrary, some imperial guards looked angry, and anyone could tell what they were enduring.

Because there were a large number of princes and princesses who grew up in luxury and food in the escaped team, and Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not very strong and his speed was not very fast.

Arrived in Xianyang at noon.

Because I was in a hurry all the way and I didn’t have time to bring any food, I could only provide it on the spot.

Originally, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent eunuch Wang Luoqing to walk in front and informed all the prefectures and counties along the way to prepare food.

However, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang arrived in Xianyang, he heard that Wang Luoqing and the county magistrate had all run away, and more than half of the people had run away, and no one was ready to eat. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang looked a little dark.

Without food, you can only collect it from the people who have not yet escaped.

He obtained some rice, grain, soybeans, and wanted to recruit some people to cook, but no people accepted the election, and it was not convenient to force the people to capture them again. So much so that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and others were unable to eat for more than an hour, and they were all hungry.

In the end, we can only let some imperial soldiers cook.

The imperial soldiers were stationed in Chang'an City for a long time, and they were just a group of veteran soldiers. There were only a few people who could cook food, and the taste and deliciousness of the cooking were really hard to swallow.

Fortunately, Yang Guozhong didn’t know where to get some steamed cakes, coarse rice, etc., but the quantity was limited.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang took some food with Concubine Yang and distributed the rest to other princes and grandchildren.

It has been five hours since the dawn. These princes and grandchildren were hungry and rushed to hold them in their hands to eat. Some of them were choked because they were anxious and coughed violently.

They are all the most noble royal bloodlines. When have they suffered such pain?

Many princes and grandchildren could not help but cover their faces and cry. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang also had tears in his eyes. It was so embarrassing.

"Why did my Tang Dynasty fall into such a situation? Is it all that I did wrong?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang couldn't help but ask himself sadly in his heart.

After a brief rest, everyone continued to flee.

It was almost midnight and arrived in Jincheng County.

Like Xianyang, the county magistrate of Jincheng County actually fled, and prepared some food for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and the soldiers of the imperial guards.

I still had a simple meal.

Some princes and grandchildren cried and passed by two counties in a row. The county magistrate ran away. No one prepared food for them. Have they all given up on the Tang Dynasty? Is the Tang Dynasty exhausted?

Not to mention the princes and grandchildren who thought this way, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang couldn't help but feel sad. Looking at the dark night, he suddenly said nothing.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his princes and grandchildren were only half full. The 30,000 soldiers of the imperial guards could only get half a bowl of rice soup, which was not enough to stuff their teeth. After walking all day, many soldiers were so hungry that their legs were weak and exhausted.

Because of unpreparation, the county magistrate and many people in the county also fled. The lack of lights and everyone was tired, so they did not distinguish between high and low, and they slept on each other, showing the miserable tragedy of escape.

Many people just fell asleep and woke up from hunger, especially those soldiers who had the least amount of food. Many soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't even sleep. They were all a group of master soldiers, and they had never suffered such pain. From generals to soldiers, they were very angry.

It happened that at this time, Yang Guozhong came back from somewhere and passed by the Imperial Army General Chen Xuanli.

The sharp-eyed Chen Xuanli saw the oily corner of Yang Guozhong's mouth at a glance. He must have just returned from somewhere to eat meat.

Chen Xuanli immediately felt full of anger. Yang Guozhong was so bad that he even ate the meat secretly and did not give it to His Majesty and the Prince.

"It was because of such a traitor in the Tang Dynasty that it had fallen to such a level!" An imperial guard general beside Chen Xuanli stared at Yang Guozhong's back, gritted his teeth, full of murderous intent, and wished he could rush up and cut Yang Guozhong into pieces.

Of course, there were not only one imperial guard general who wanted to kill Yang Guozhong, but were present. Almost everyone wanted to kill Yang Guozhong.

Why did the Tang Dynasty end today? Why did An Lushan rebel?

Everything is because of the treacherous minister, and the demon concubine is in trouble with the country!

Think about how wise and decisive Your Majesty was, and created an unprecedented Kaiyuan prosperous era. But why did Your Majesty gradually become lazy and only seek pleasure? If you have to find some people to bear such a crime, then what they can think of is the confusion of the demon concubine, Yang Guozhong and other treacherous officials, which harmed the country and the people. Didn’t you see that even An Lushan rebelled under the banner of clearing the emperor and killing Yang Guozhong?

Some people who were lucky enough to fantasize about it couldn't help but think that if Yang Guozhong was arrested and killed, wouldn't An Lushan have no excuse to continue rebelling? Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope in the Tang Dynasty.

All the anger gradually pointed at Yang Guozhong

Prince Li Heng did not fall asleep. He clearly saw the anger of the imperial guards, both murderous intent towards Yang Guozhong and disappointment towards Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

"This prince's opportunity is here!" Li Heng's eyes flashed, revealing something called ambition.

The eunuchs Li Jingzhong and Yu Chaoen, who had been with Li Heng, also saw the opportunity for the prince to rise. They first tested Li Heng's intentions, and after they understood that Li Heng had ideas, they discussed secretly with Li Heng.

About half an hour later, Li Fuguo came forward to win over the imperial guards General Chen Xuanli, and some other imperial guards generals, and asked them to dispatch imperial guards to support the prince in killing Yang Guozhong, Yang Guifei and other members of the Yang family.

The imperial guards were already very clear about Yang Guozhong and the Yang family. Seeing that the prince was willing to take the lead, they all expressed their willingness to support the prince.

Immediately, the Imperial Guard secretly went to Li Heng's office to discuss with Chen Xuanli and several other senior generals.

Because it was almost dawn at this time, it would not take long for the day to start, and it was obviously not appropriate to start immediately, so I agreed to start when it was darker.
