Li Longji died of illness, which was a bit sudden.
Regarding Lingwu, Li Wang's external statement was that Li Longji was old, suffered repeated blows, and missed his dead concubine Yang Yuhuan, so he became ill and died of illness in Lingwu.
Of course, the specific reason is unknown.
However, one thing is clear to Bai Yuxian, Yu Chaoen and others who are far away in Shannan, that is, Li Longji's death must be inseparable from Li Wang.
Otherwise, Li Longji would have asked Yu Chaoen to give Bai Yuxian an oral instruction asking Bai Yuxian to go to Lingwu for an audience, and Li Longji would have died not long after Yu Chaoen arrived in Shannan.
Especially as the person involved, Yu Chaoen knew very well that Li Longji's death was definitely caused by Li Wang and was inseparable from him.
After all, it was Li Longji who personally handed Li Longji's belt edict to Li Wang, and he could clearly see the chill in Li Wang's eyes at that time.
However, Yu Chaoen felt that Li Wang's move was extremely stupid, because anyone with a discerning eye would understand that most of the reason for Bai Yuxian's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was probably due to Li Longji. After all, it was Li Longji's hand that made Bai Yuxian what he was today. Promoted.
It can be said that Li Longji was kind to Bai Yuxian.
So this is probably the reason why Bai Yuxian is so loyal to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, as long as Li Longji is alive, if Bai Yu raises an army to rebel against Li Tang, it will definitely be a huge blow to Bai Yuxian's reputation.
After all, Li Longji thought highly of Bai Yuxian at the beginning, but now Bai Yuxian turned against Li Tang. Isn't that a supercilious look?
But now that Li Longji is dead, Bai Yuxian's restraint on Datang's loyalty is completely gone.
Li Longji was the main reason that restricted Bai Yuxian's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
But Li Wang didn't seem to understand this at all, and he killed Li Longji directly, and also wanted to send an envoy to watch the army to supervise Bai Yuxian.
Yu Chaoen didn't even know what Li Wang was thinking.
How dare you.
If he were the emperor, it wouldn't be enough to offer Bai Yuxian as an offering at this time. The first priority would be to find ways to keep Bai Yuxian's heart. The result was good for Li Wang.
"This Li Tang seems to be really exhausted."
Yu Chaoen looked at the distant sky and couldn't help but secretly thought, and then his eyes completely turned firm.
Good birds choose trees to roost in.
Now that Li Tang's energy has been exhausted, he, Yu Chaoen, will naturally look for another Mingzhu to help him, and will not fall with Li Tang, a tree that is destined to collapse.
And Bai Yuxian is undoubtedly the best thigh in the world today.
At this time, Bai Yuxian also stood on the high blank cloud, looking towards Shuofang Lingwu, who was thousands of miles away. He held a bottle of wine in his hand and slowly poured it down towards Lingwu, and then bowed deeply for three times. A bow to see Li Longji off for the final time.
"Your Majesty, Bai Yuxian, would like to send you to your Majesty!"
Although Bai Yuxian had been thinking about rebellion from the beginning when he entered the officialdom.
But since he became an official, Li Longji has indeed trusted him and treated him with kindness.
So deep down in his heart, Bai Yuxian still respects and remembers his affection for Li Longji. Now that Li Longji has completely passed away, he should also bid farewell to him.
However, although Li Longji was kind to him, Bai Yuxian asked himself that he was worthy of Li Longji.
During Li Longji's reign, he also devoted himself to Li Longji.
He led the newly established Tiance Army to quell the initial Hongqingshan Rebellion.
Later, Prince Li Henry used Wang Zhongsi to launch a rebellion, and it was he who stood up to turn the tide and suppress Wang Zhongsi and protect Li Longji.
Later, the Turks, Uighurs, Geluolu and other Huru invaded Hexi. It was he who led his troops to pacify and even penetrated the entire Huru and guarded the borders of the Tang Dynasty.
After such incidents happened one after another, Bai Yuxian felt that he was worthy of Li Longji. Although he was able to be where he is today thanks to Li Longji's promotion, without Bai Yuxian, Li Longji's own throne would have been long gone. Gone.
So if you really want to calculate it, Bai Yuxian feels that he is worthy of Li Longji.
Although he has always thought about rebellion in his heart, in life, no one is perfect regardless of his deeds and his heart.
The only thing I feel a little sorry for is that I cheated on Li Longji.
But he, Bai Yuxian, didn't do this intentionally. It was all the women's fault, and they still threatened him. What should he do?
"Your Majesty, go on your way. When you come back, Yuxian will burn more women and paper money for you."
In the end, Bai Yuxian could only say something in his heart.
From now on, when you have time, burn more women to compensate Li Longji.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and it was April.
At this time, An Lushan, who had been quiet for two or three months after the founding of the People's Republic of China, finally took action.
In April of the eleventh year of Tianbao, An Lushan sent his son An Qingxu and generals Shi Siming and Li Guiren to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Shuofang.
Emperor Li Wang became nervous immediately after learning about it. Fortunately, An Lushan did not personally lead the army after he became emperor, otherwise Li Wang would definitely run away without saying anything. If it were just other people under An Lushan's command, Li Wang would Feeling that Wang Zhongsi should be able to block it, he quickly sent Shuofang Jiedushi Wang Zhongsi to lead the army to resist. At the same time, he also ordered Hedong Jiedushi Li Kailuo, Longyou Jiedushi Ge Shuhan, Hexi Army and Yuan Dynasty Army. Gao Xianzhi in Anxi led troops to support.
The Hexi Army was led by Guo Ziyi under Bai Yuxian.
The entire world's attention was instantly attracted.
Half a month later, a battle broke out between the Tang army led by Wang Zhongsi and the Yan army led by An Qingxu in Pingyang. The three heavenly beings of the Five Immortals Sect took action. Wang Zhongsi was almost killed on the spot with one against three. Fortunately, Anxi and Beiting were killed. Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Zhenjiedu, arrived in time to help and was able to protect himself.
Gao Xianzhi's strength also broke through to the realm of martial arts at some unknown time. He came all the way from Anxi to come to the rescue and was able to save Wang Zhongsi.
But even so, Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhongsi, who was seriously injured, could not defeat the three heavenly beings of the Five Immortals Sect. They could only protect themselves and retreat. As a result, the Tang army was defeated in Pingyang.
In the battle of Pingyang, except for Wang Zhongsi, who was rescued by Gao Xianzhi, the rest of the Tang army was almost wiped out. After the high-level combat power at the level of gods and humans was defeated, the Tang army under the power of gods and gods could not stop An Qingxu at all. Led an army of 100,000 people.
After the defeat in the Battle of Pingyang, Gao Xianzhi took the seriously injured Wang Zhongsi back to Lingwu to report to Emperor Li Wang.
After hearing the news, Li Wang and the civil and military officials all changed their faces and were so frightened that they lost their souls.
Even Wang Zhongsi and Gao Xianzhi, the two great martial arts powers, couldn't resist the Yan army, so how could they resist it? In less than ten days, An Qingxu would be able to lead the Yan army to Lingwu.
If they don't escape, they may be beaten by the Yan army.
"Your Majesty, I think we should escape."
Someone immediately suggested to Li Wang
Yes, escape!
Li Wang also realized that he had no choice but to escape at this time, otherwise he would definitely die if he stayed in Lingwu, and he couldn't care less about face and dignity.
But where to escape.
Another minister suggested going to Chengdu, but it was immediately rejected by Li Wang, who could not trust Bai Yuxian.
After finally thinking about it, Li Wang decided to go to Anxi according to the escape route he had already thought of.
After making the decision, Li Wang issued two edicts in a row.
The first edict was to move the imperial court to Anxi.
The second edict ordered Bai Yuxian, King of Jiannan, to immediately lead his troops to escort him against the Yan army.
After the two edicts were issued, Li Wang quickly packed up his things and took all the harem queens, concubines, and children out of the city to Anxi.
But when he summoned the civil and military forces, Li Wang discovered that by the time he was ready to run away, half of his subordinates, civil and military personnel, had already fled first, and they had abandoned him.
"That's unreasonable. These bastards are greedy for life and afraid of death. What's the use of raising them?"
Li Wang was so angry that he burst into smoke.
I haven't even run away yet, you ministers have already run away before me.
The remaining civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty looked at Li Wang's furious appearance and were all silent and did not dare to say anything. However, deep down in their hearts, many people also had their thoughts flickering.
Because there is really no hope for Li Wang and Li Tang in front of them. At present, Li Tang's only hope and support is Bai Yuxian, the king of Jiannan, but Bai Yuxian is far away in Shannan and has no skills to fight against the Taiping Dao clone. And the most important thing is, Li Wang and Jiannan Wang Bai Yuxian still have obvious conflicts.
How did Li Longji die? Although Li Wang said to the outside world that Li Longji was old and suffered repeated blows and missed the dead Yang Yuhuan.
But none of them who are officials, especially those who can be officials in the court, are not smart people.
And Li Longji was kind to Bai Yuxian, the king of Jiannan. The main reason why Bai Yuxian has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty is probably because of Li Longji.
But now that Li Longji is dead, the Tang Dynasty does not have much restraint on Jiannan King Bai Yuxian.
If King Bai Yuxian of Jiannan also rebels, then what hope does the Tang Dynasty have?
An absolute dead end.
Thinking of this, even the remaining civil and military officials couldn't help but start thinking.
