Chapter 317 The decision between the country and the beauty
Not only Prince Li Heng, Longwu General Chen Xuanli and the imperial guards, but also the brigade of murderous imperial guards were followed by a large group of murderous imperial guards.
Seeing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang coming out with Gao Lishi's support, Prince Li Heng, Chen Xuanli and others knelt down.
"Father, Yang Guozhong and the Tubo people have conspired to rebel, and have been killed by their sons and imperial guards. Their accomplices and the three wives of the country are also killed!" Li Heng said with an expressionless face.
"Is Guozhong's rebellion?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was so shocked that his voice trembled.
The prince and the imperial guards not only killed Yang Guozhong, but also killed Yuhuan's three sisters. Perhaps there were many others because of Yang Guozhong's rebellion?
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was not a fool. He was once a wise emperor and had created an unprecedented prosperous era.
He did not believe that Yang Guozhong would treason and dared to treason!
You should know that the rebel An Lushan rebelled under the banner of killing Yang Guozhong, which means that the anti-army must kill Yang Guozhong. After escaping from Chang'an, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang occasionally heard the people calling for the killing of Yang Guozhong.
It can be said that not only the anti-army wanted to kill Yang Guozhong, but the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also wanted to kill Yang Guozhong.
Yang Guozhong had no support from the people, nor did he have generals and soldiers. There were people everywhere who wanted to kill him. Only under the protection of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had a chance. Everyone in the world dared to rebel against Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, except for Yang Guozhong, so Emperor Xuanzong of Tang absolutely did not believe the prince's words.
However, it is not a question that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did not believe, but Yang Guozhong had been killed and had settled.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang's face twitched. As an emperor, he was still a little cunning. It was impossible to argue with the prince and the imperial guards in this situation. He even revealed his disbelief.
"Since Yang Guozhong rebelled, he should really kill him. I am very comforted!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang walked with the support of Gao Lishi. The prince and other imperial guards automatically made way. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang looked around the imperial guards and spoke, as if he was really praising the imperial guards.
"Since Yang Guozhong has been killed, the rebellion has been pacified. I will reward you later on. Let's disperse first." In order to appease the soldiers of the imperial guards, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang even personally promised to reward you on the merits.
After saying that, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang waited for the imperial soldiers to disperse.
Unfortunately, the soldiers around the imperial guards were not moved at all, but instead stared at Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who looked haggard and the power of the emperor, could no longer shock the angry imperial guards. Moreover, when the imperial guards launched a mutiny, they knew that they could not continue to listen to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and that the prince was their hope.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were indifferent and staring at him with a fierce look, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was panicked. The Imperial Guard had stopped listening to him.
"Crown Prince wants to kill me?" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang suddenly looked at Prince Li Heng with sadness.
"Father, my son will never dare to hurt my father at all!" Li Heng immediately knelt down. In this era when filial piety is greater than heaven, no matter what Li Heng thought, he would never hurt his father in front of so many people.
"Your Majesty, the source of the disaster is still there, so the soldiers refused to retreat!" Chen Xuanli and other imperial guards also knelt down, and one of the imperial guards generals spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the Yang family have been rebelled. The Prime Minister and the rest of the Yang family have been killed. The imperial concubine should not continue to serve His Majesty. Please ask Your Majesty to give up the general and the imperial concubine to be justified!" Chen Xuanli, as the general, finally expressed his final purpose.
The so-called "source of disaster" is that Yang Guifei is the root of all disasters. Without Yang Guifei's favor, nor Yang Guozhong and the Yang family, today, Yang Guozhong, the brother of Yang Guozhong, also killed Yang Guifei's other three sisters, so Yang Guifei, the sister of Yang Guifei, could not continue to be kept.
After hearing Chen Xuanli's straightforward words, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang felt as if he was being kicked up, and staggered back, and in an instant it seemed that he had grown several years old. He was stunned there and said nothing for a long time.
Out of the last bit of respect for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the prince and Chen Xuanli and other imperial guards did not urge him, but just waited silently for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to speak.
It took nearly half a quarter of an hour, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang still could not make the final decision.
"Let's go away first. I will take care of this matter." Emperor Xuanzong of Tang begged with a trembling voice. After saying that, he didn't even dare to look at the prince and the soldiers of the imperial guards around him, and turned around and returned to the inn.
Looking at the back of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the soldiers of the imperial guards looked at each other. Is there no result?
Of course, the soldiers of the imperial guards could not accept such a result without any beginning and end, and they were all angry.
"The demon concubine is in trouble with the country and confuses His Majesty. I hope His Majesty will kill the demon concubine!" An imperial soldier shouted out first.
"The demon concubine is in trouble with the country and kill the demon concubine!"
------
The other imperial guards also shouted in anger, and tens of thousands of voices gathered together, which was really deafening. The entire inn was heard within ten miles of the radius of the inn.
"All the soldiers are at ease. Your Majesty will give you a satisfactory explanation. Mr. Wei and I will go in with you to persuade Your Majesty." Gao Lishi looked at Wei Yan, the son of Mr. Pengcheng County, and said.
Weier nodded and entered the inn with Gao Lishi.
In the post station, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang heard the deafening cry of the imperial guards, and felt dizzy and unable to stand even when he stood firm. He sat on the chair, feeling extremely weak. His eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Gao Lishi and Weir waited aside for a long time.
Seeing that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was still undecided for a long time, Wei Yan was so anxious that he immediately ignored everything else and stepped forward and knelt in front of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
"Your Majesty, now the public is unpleasant. If you don't make a decision, if the imperial guards rush in, the situation will be really uncontrollable. At that time, not only will your Majesty not be able to protect the imperial concubine, but even your Majesty's own safety may not be guaranteed. Your Majesty will make a decision quickly!" After saying that, Wei Yan hit Tang Xuanzong's forehead. In order to force Tang Xuanzong to make a decision as soon as possible, Wei Yan's head was bleeding.
"The imperial concubine lives in the palace all year round and is in conflict with the world. Even if Yang Guozhong rebelled, the imperial concubine would definitely not know. Besides, the imperial concubine and Yang Guozhong are not brothers and sisters. After four or five generations, they will not be able to kill the imperial concubine even if they kill the nine clans."
Yang Guifei has been with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang for more than ten years and has already reached the heart of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang truly loved Concubine Yang and could not make the decision to kill Concubine Yang. He wanted to defend Concubine Yang and tried his best to escape Yang Guifei's crime.
"Your Majesty, it's not whether the imperial concubine is guilty or not, but the imperial guards' soldiers are in a state of anger. Since they have killed Prime Minister Yang Guozhong, or even the imperial guards' three relatives, if the imperial guards are still serving you, the imperial guards' soldiers will not be at ease and this matter cannot be over." Gao Lishi also persuaded Emperor Xuanzong of Tang on the side.
"Besides, judging from the current situation, the soldiers of the Imperial Army must kill the Imperial Court today. If you make a decision, at least you can make the Imperial Army die with a little dignity. If the soldiers of the Imperial Army rushed in and added together, the Imperial Army would not be dignified, and Your Majesty would not be at peace!" Gao Lishi understood Emperor Xuanzong the best. His words hit Tang Xuanzong's heart directly, making Emperor Xuanzong no longer able to say anything to defend Yang Guifei.
"Since that's the case, I will give the concubine a death sentence for the good fortune!" Emperor Xuanzong of Tang burst into tears, and finally sighed. In enduring his reluctance, he still made the decision to kill Concubine Yang.
In fact, as early as when he turned around and entered the inn, he knew clearly that things had developed to this point. Only by sacrificing Yang Guifei could the anger of the Imperial Army soldiers and comfort them, could they continue to defend the Tang Dynasty.
He just hopes to get an excuse from others that he can only kill Yang Guifei and make his heart feel better. It is not that he is unwilling to save Yang Guifei, but that he cannot.
As an emperor, he could love Yang Guifei and concentrate all the three thousand favors in the harem on Yang Guifei. However, when it was time to make a decision between the country and the beauty, he was more inclined to the country.
