Tang Xuanzong is really a noble man in An Lushan's fate, before An Lushan's anti-bone rebellion, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei had no need to say much about how good they were to him, and after the rebellion, they helped him clear a lot of obstacles, and Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi were the first to hit the thunder. Immediately afterwards, with the efforts of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi and Yan Zhenqing and others, Hebei achieved great victories, which had cut off the connection between Luoyang and Fanyang, cut off the retreat of the rebels, and the people who passed information to and from the rebels had to "steal by light horses", but most of them were captured or eliminated by the Tang army, and Geshuhan firmly held Tongguan, causing the rebel army in Luoyang to shake their hearts, and An Lushan himself was greatly panicked, complaining about his staff Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, and others: "For several years, you have constantly persuaded me to raise troops to seize the world, saying that the time has come, and rebellion is the perfect solution. But now the west side is fighting Tongguan, and after fighting for half a year, it can't get in, and the retreat road in the north is also cut off by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, these two brats! We are trapped here, and all we have in our hands is Bian, Zhengshu County, what is this called a perfect solution? Don't come to see me again! After saying that, he was ready to abandon Luoyang and find a way to lead the troops to escape back to the old nest of Fanyang.
An Lushan
At the critical moment when the defeat of the rebellion had been revealed and the mastermind had been shaken, An Lushan's old enemy Yang Guozhong did fully demonstrate the potential of his pig teammates, and with the assistance of Tang Xuanzong, forced Geshuhan to go out to meet the enemy, resulting in a great defeat, Tongguan was lost, the imperial capital Chang'an was suddenly in no danger, the rebels were surging like tigers and wolves, and some local officials and defenders between Tongguan and Chang'an were frightened and abandoned the city and fled, and the defeat news continued to reach Chang'an. The old emperor was shocked, completely out of ideas, and quickly summoned the prime minister's courtiers to discuss, these pampered and well-groomed Beijing officials who were accustomed to a comfortable life could not propose an effective way to resist the enemy, since the resistance could not work, then they could only escape! But there has to be a direction to escape. At this time, Yang Guozhong came out again and asked Tang Xuanzong to withdraw to Shu to hide, because he had also served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and his place of origin was also in Shu, which was also the hometown of the noble concubine, and the land was familiar.
An Lushan, who had fallen into a Jedi and was helpless, was already dancing with joy at this time, laughter resounded throughout the hall, and the fat flesh trembled with laughter! "This old man is completely confused", "That Yang Guozhong is even more stupid, I regard it as contemptuous!" "It seems that my contempt for them and the decision to replace them was indeed correct. After the imperial court made up its mind, it cleaned up a little, and on the third night, Tang Xuanzong fled Chang'an, accompanied by only a few close ministers and personal eunuchs, and the Longwu general Chen Xuanli commanded the forbidden army to escort the escape, and many civil and military officials in the dynasty were still in the dark, stupidly waiting for the next morning. The situation was critical, Emperor Xuanzong and his party fled too panicked and underprepared, so many royal relatives and state relatives, plus the relatives and children of close ministers and the forbidden army escorted, wanted to eat and drink. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered to send eunuchs to various places along the road first, so that the local officials waited to receive them, but as a result, the counties and towns along the way had long been empty, and it was a mess, and there were still people to pay tribute.
Ma Songyi
When they fled to Jincheng County, more than 80 miles away from Chang'an, it was late, and everyone was hungry with their chests pressed against their backs, and in desperation, they again sent eunuchs to find some local flat-headed people who had not yet fled and ask them for rations. These ordinary people are no better than the officials, and there is no surplus food at home, so they can only pay tribute and send some sorghum dumplings, those royal relatives and high-ranking officials of wealthy families are not with golden spoons, pampered, brocade clothes and jade food, where have they eaten such rough things, but all the way to rush, they are hungry and dizzy, so they don't care about any decency, they hold it in their hands and eat, and they eat it cleanly, and there is no dregs left!
Tang Xuanzong barely swallowed a few mouthfuls of dry sorghum dumplings, recalled the singing and dancing and luxurious life in Chang'an Daming Palace, and couldn't help but shed tears. A few old men among the people crowded in front of the imperial car and said to Emperor Xuanzong: "An Lushan, this traitor, wants to rebel, it is not a matter of a day or two, everyone in the world knows that for so many years, someone has reported to the imperial court, but he was imprisoned and killed, and even handed over to An Lushan for disposal." The ministers around His Majesty will only greet the horse and whitewash the peace, and the truth outside the imperial court will not be heard by His Majesty. We ordinary people have long known that there will be such a day, but the gate of the imperial court is too deep, and His Majesty's opinion cannot be heard, if it is not for the Holy Driving here, how can we see the Holy Lord and tell the truth in front of His Majesty! When Tang Xuanzong heard these words, he was ashamed and extremely frustrated. The monarch stayed in the empty city for one night, and the next day continued to flee, rushing to Ma Songyi (in the west of present-day Xingping County, Shaanxi), where was the ration for the little tribute paid by the people, and the few people were many, and it had long been exhausted, and the hungry forbidden army soldiers cried out that they could not walk, and Tang Xuanzong had to order a short rest here.
Ma Songyi
Although these forbidden troops are dressed luxuriously and well-equipped, they are actually the guards troops stationed in the capital, with high treatment and wide knowledge, and many of them are related households, and their usual work is mainly to guard the honor, soaking in such a prosperous metropolis as Chang'an, a long time of stable environment, comfortable and accustomed, can not be compared with the hardships and hard work of the border army, now abandon the family business and abandon their relatives, accompany the emperor to flee, always have to worry about the rebels catching up and raiding, Chang'an's family does not know how it is now! The depression in the heart can be imagined, and even more so he fled here without eating or drinking, he could only stand and blow the northwest wind, thinking of the two generals Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi who were wrongly killed, and the old general Geshuhan who was forced out to meet the defeated and captured of the enemy, these are famous generals who have made great achievements for the country, and are idols in the hearts of soldiers, and the end is miserable, which is all the result of Yang Guozhong's traitorous courtier's rumors in the emperor's advance!
The generals of the forbidden army hated Yang Guozhong, and their hearts were full of anger, as long as there was a little Mars seed, they would explode, and the generals Chen Xuanli and other generals also wanted to take the opportunity to remove this "scourge" of the dead people, so they secretly revealed this meaning to the eunuch Li Fuguo, who was the person of the crown prince Li Heng, and Li Fuguo went to the prince to discuss, and the prince Li Heng was timid and cautious and did not say no. But the soldiers of the Forbidden Army could not hold back their anger, and just at this time, more than twenty Tubo envoys who fled here with them were hungry and thirsty, and stopped Yang Guozhong who was riding on his horse to ask for food!
The soldier took the opportunity to shout: "Yang Guozhong and Hu Ren conspired to rebel!" Yang Guozhong did not defend and raised an arrow to shoot, Yang Guozhong's horse was suddenly shot by an arrow and fell to the ground, Yang Guozhong fell from his horse, fell a dog to gnaw mud, his mouth was full of blood, endured the pain and got up and fled to the post station where Emperor Xuanzong's concubine lived, a civil official like him who was high and comfortable, who ran there by soldiers, was cut into meat mud by the soldiers in a few strokes. The situation suddenly got out of control, and the chaotic soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush into the perimeter of the post station, killing Yang Guifei's sisters Lady Han and Lady Qin Guo, as well as Yang Guozhong's son, Yang Xuan, the household attendant. Yang Guozhong's fellow imperial master Wei Fangjin could not see the situation clearly, did not know the depth, and dared to loudly reprimand the chaotic soldiers, who did not say a word of nonsense, and pounced on him and cut him to pieces. Another prime minister, Wei Jiansu, heard the noise and came out to check, and was also surrounded by the chaotic soldiers who rushed up and beat him, fortunately, his reputation was much better than Yang Guozhong, and some grassroots officers recognized him, and quickly persuaded: "Don't hurt Wei Xianggong's life" This allowed Wei Jiansu to escape, and indeed he had been beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face.
Messy soldiers
Tang Xuanzong, who was resting, was awakened by the incomparable noise outside, and hurriedly asked the attendants on the left and right what happened. Left and right replied that Yang Guozhong plotted rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong naturally did not believe it, Yang Guozhong and he and the concubine were grasshoppers tied to a rope, An Lushan rebels also picked out to kill him, he wanted to rebel at this time, without the slightest motive and benefit. But the matter has come to this, he still has to count on these forbidden army escorts, at this time, Xiao Wall, and he will not be allowed to stand up for Yang Guozhong, and Yang Guozhong's actions have also broken the heart of this old emperor, if it were not for Yang Guozhong as the prime minister to fool and indoctrinate beside him, resulting in a series of wrong moves, it may not be so passive that the oligarchs are so passive.
Although Emperor Xuanzong is old and faint, at this juncture, the sensitivity of politicians is still there, and it is still clear which is more important than the other. At this time, it is not appropriate to add fuel to the fire of the chaotic army, otherwise it will be set on fire, but it is still easy to appease, and hurriedly let the attendants go out and make a political statement, announcing that the soldiers had meritorious in killing Yang Guozhong, and asking people to reward the soldiers with their belongings. However, the forbidden officers and soldiers who killed the red eyes still surrounded the post station on three layers inside and three layers outside, refusing to leave, and Tang Xuanzong could not let his most protégé Gao Lux ask what happened.
Colix
The commander of the forbidden army, the general of Longwu, Chen Xuanli, knew that this matter had happened, and everyone in the forbidden army had no way to retreat, so he resolutely stood on the side of the soldiers to negotiate with Colix, and Chen Xuanli and several generals said to Colix: "Yang Guozhong plotted against him, Yang Guifei is no longer suitable to accompany the emperor, please ask His Majesty to cut grace and correct the law." At this time, this requirement actually showed three meanings: first, Yang Guozhong conspired against him, that is, there was no fact and no evidence, this situation, Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, Gao Lux, Chen Xuanli and other generals, including the soldiers who made the first move, knew that a prime minister of the dynasty and his son Hube Shilang (deputy minister) were chopped into meat puree, carrying Yang Guifei's sisters Lady Han and Lady Qin Guo, and the imperial master Wei Fangjin all followed to the Yan King Hall, and another prime minister, Wei Jiansu, was also beaten fat! This is a very serious political event, placed before the Anshi Rebellion, this is absolutely unimaginable, and it will definitely be characterized as a conspiracy to rebel, and there will be no amnesty for killing the nine ethnic groups.
The general of the Second Forbidden Army killed Yang Guozhong and the others in a righteous indignation, which is excusable! An Lushan, a traitor, said that Yang Guozhong was a traitor is not completely unreasonable, Yang Guozhong, who was born as a gambler, must have done a lot of dirty things to frame Zhongliang and eliminate dissidents after gaining power, and he was like a bird with Li Linfu, and his heart was ruthless. Treat ordinary officers and soldiers without taking a straight look, relying on women such as Mrs. Yu Guo and Yang Guifei to take the position, the world knows, but when Yang Guozhong, this old boy, is favored and powerful, no one dares to mention it, but in fact, fairness is in the hearts of the people, and it is always necessary to pay it back when you come out to mix! You said that you could not suppress and suppress, and you could not do An Lushan, and without proper deployment and strict preparation, you hurriedly stimulated An Lushan to rebel without surprise, so that the imperial court suddenly fell into passivity and the people were displaced.
Since the traitors have rebelled, then hurry up and deploy defensive suppression! Yang Guozhong as the prime minister and the emperor's favored minister role is important and heavy, even if it does not play a positive role, do not play a negative role, for his own selfish interests, instigating the old emperor to force Geshuhan to go out to meet the enemy, as a result, nearly 200,000 troops were killed, Tongguan was lost and Chang'an fell, originally these forbidden officers and soldiers lived well in Chang'an City, dressed brightly, well-paid, and often showed off to relatives and friends, I will stand guard for the emperor and who is who is today, and tomorrow I will open the way for the emperor and whom. As a result, now let Yang Guozhong be so blindly tossed, leaving his parents and relatives in Chang'an before life and death, fleeing all the way without food or drink, fearful, and miserable to everyone, Yang Guozhong does not bear this responsibility, does it let the emperor bear this responsibility, Yang Guozhong does not die and let the emperor die!
Third, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the biggest responsible person for the Anshi Rebellion is Tang Xuanzong Tang Minghuang, if he has half the wisdom and courage of his youth, even if the three An Lushan are tied together and are not his opponents, from striving for good governance to greedy for enjoyment, from modesty and prudence to pride and stubbornness, from meritocracy to cronyism, from clear rewards and punishments to impulsive killing, killing three sons in one day, degrading the official Wang Zhonghei, killing Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, persecuting Geshuhan, etc., these practices are given to the prince and princess, The Manchu Dynasty's civilian-military and all-army officers and soldiers left a deep psychological shadow, and even more so they were turned around by a juggling group, nestled in the pile of women all day, close to the villain and far from the wise and courtiers, without any opinion, and what they did had long lost a wise monarch, and their prestige and people's hearts were greatly lost.
The Ma Songyi Incident
Although the officers and soldiers have succeeded in the Qing monarch's side this time, they have already committed a big taboo, and now the emperor needs the forbidden army to escort against the rebels, and compromise for a while, but it is difficult to guarantee that the account will not be settled later! The two sisters of the current concubine, Lady Qin Guo and Lady Han, and his cousin Yang Guozhong and nephew Yang Xuan have all been killed, and Yang Guifei will give up if she does not die. When the emperor and the others were sent ashore and escorted to a safe place, Yang Guifei found an opportunity to give the old emperor a hand, with Emperor Xuanzong's current temperament, he would inevitably hold everyone responsible for committing crimes, and the scourge of killing himself would definitely be inevitable, so Yang Guifei must die. The previous article also introduced the history of the development of Galix, such an obvious truth, Colix, this political old fritters do not dispense Chen Xuanli and others clearly said, naturally the heart is very clear!
Tang Xuanzong
After listening to Colix's report, Tang Xuanzong, who was in an old state, stood up, was in a daze on crutches, and did not speak for a long time! Seeing this, Wei Jiansu's son and Jing Zhaosi Luchen knew that he was reluctant to Yang Guifei, Yang Guozhong and others had just been killed in front of his eyes, and his father was also beaten fiercely, knowing that the current situation was no longer hesitant, if the chaotic army killed the general, they would all be in trouble! Hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, while kowtowing to Emperor Xuanzong, he advised: "Now the anger of the people is difficult to attack, and the safety is only in a moment, please Your Majesty make a quick decision!" "When he said that, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and blood flowed from his forehead. Seeing this scene, Tang Xuanzong slowly spoke: "The noble concubine has been living in the deep palace for a long time, how can she know that Yang Guozhong is going to rebel?" ”
Gao Lux was Tang Xuanzong's closest eunuch, and he had followed him since Emperor Xuanzong was still a prince, and accompanied Emperor Xuanzong all the way, gaining Emperor Xuanzong's trust. He was extremely experienced in politics, and he had already understood everything from Chen Xuanli's tone and eyes, and there was no other way to protect Emperor Xuanzong and kill the concubine. So he also hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded bitterly and persuaded: "Concubine is not guilty, but now that the soldier has killed Yang Guozhong, with Concubine Yang at His Majesty's side, how can he be at ease to escort?" What if the rebels are coming? Please think deeply about Your Majesty, and the soldiers can rest assured that Your Majesty's safety will be possible. Having said this, Tang Xuanzong covered his face and waved his hand helplessly for Colix to deal with it.
The death of the concubine
Gao Lux called Yang Guifei into the Buddhist hall in the name of Tang Xuanzong, and together with the little eunuchs, strangled her, and then asked Chen Xuanli and others to enter the Buddhist hall to watch, and the chaotic army saw that Yang Guifei was dead, so he put down his weapon, took off his armor, and knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Xuanzong to plead guilty, and Emperor Xuanzong did not say no. When Yang Guozhong and his eldest son Yang Xuan were killed, Yang Guozhong's wife and younger son, as well as his lover and nobleman, Lady Yu Guoyi, and others took advantage of the chaos to escape from Ma Songyi and fled to Hanzhong, where they had just fled to Chen Cang (east of present-day Baoji City), but were still chased and killed. The Yang power, which had held the imperial government for more than ten years, was completely eliminated, and Tang Xuanzong's prestige was greatly lost, he lost complete control of the imperial power, and it was only a matter of time before he was replaced.
