"Gao Lishi, did you hear anything from Chen Xuanli's words just now?”Li Longji calmed himself down and wanted to analyze the current situation with Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi thought for a moment." Your Majesty, this old servant feels that the current situation is very grim. Chen Xuanli's words just now caused the soldiers to become restless."
"I don't think it's the soldiers below who are restless, but Chen Xuanli, right?”Li Longji said angrily.
Gao Lishi pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat solemn."Emperor, now that things have come to this, the military power is not in our hands. What else can we do? We can only leave it to fate!”
After hearing Gao Lishi's words, Li Longji collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
"Your Majesty! What's wrong?" Gao Lishi let out a shrill cry!
At this moment, Wu Tianlang felt that he could no longer hide in the cabinet. If the Emperor died, who else could he reason with?
Therefore, Wu Tianlang decided to step forward.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi shouted," Hurry up! The emperor has fainted!"
Damn it! Just as Wu Tianlang was about to come out, he heard the Emperor faint.
What should he do? If the emperor fainted, who could he reason with? Follow the eunuch Gao Lishi?
Forget it! Wu Tianlang thought about it and felt that it was not the time to come out yet.
Perhaps Gao Lishi would mistake him for an assassin.
Following Gao Lishi's shout, a few eunuchs entered and hurriedly supported the Emperor.
"Hurry up! Help the Emperor to the East Chamber and find Imperial Physician Wang!”Gao Lishi ordered.
Hence, everyone went out.
Wu Tianlang waited until he was sure that there was no one else before opening the cabinet door and climbing out.
He took deep breaths of fresh air.
"The current situation seems to have become more complicated!”Wu Tianlang thought.
There were many different opinions in the history books. Some experts said that the mutiny at Mawei Slope happened by chance. They believed that it was not premeditated and that there was no mastermind behind it. The soldiers marched through the night and were extremely hungry. In order to save themselves, they launched a mutiny under the leadership of General Chen Xuanli.
Some professors said that this had been planned long ago. In fact, Mawei Posthouse was only a hundred miles away from Chang 'an, which was only a day's walk away. The Imperial Army would not be so hungry that they would mutiny.
Some experts suggested that the eunuch Gao LiTu was the mastermind behind the mutiny. In the Tang Dynasty, since Zhangsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were executed by Emperor Gaozong, the prime ministers of the outer court could not get involved in the internal court regime. Their power was generally limited to daily government affairs. Not only did Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong control the government, but they also wanted to meddle in the internal court, arousing Gao Lishi's resentment. Moreover, Li Linfu, An Lushan, and the others were all appreciated by the Emperor because of Gao Lishi and climbed to high positions.
At that time, Gao Lishi was a trusted minister of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. He was in charge of the central government as a eunuch." Every document from all directions must first be presented to Gao Lishi, and then the emperor would decide on small matters." In fact, it was equivalent to the so-called " internal minister " in later generations. Gao Lishi was dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's monopoly of power, and the two of them were like fire and water, fighting each other. Thus, Gao Lishi had the motive to start a mutiny.
Some experts suggested that the mastermind behind the mutiny was Crown Prince Li Heng, and that the conflict between Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong wasn't very prominent, not to the point of war.
At the end of Xuanzong's reign, the dispute over the right to inherit the throne intensified. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty first conferred the title of Crown Prince on his second son, Li Ying, but later deposed him as a commoner for various reasons. At that time, Prime Minister Li Linfu and others strongly supported the son of Consort Wu Hui, Prince Shou Li Mao, but Xuanzong favored Li Heng and finally made Prince Zhong Li Heng the Crown Prince. Li Linfu was afraid that the Crown Prince would use him as an example after he ascended the throne, so he plotted to overthrow Li Heng and make Li Mao the Crown Prince. In order to gain power, Yang Guozhong had become Li Linfu's subordinate and tried to frame Li Heng. Even though Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu had gone their separate ways for power, Yang Guozhong had never changed his mind about opposing Li Heng as Crown Prince. In order to clear away the obstacles to his ascension, Li Heng had to kill Yang Guozhong.
……
History was a little girl who was dressed up by others. Anyway, the people sleeping underground would not pick you out to criticize you.
Hehe, an expert? A professional!
Professor? Call it a beast!
This word had already become a professional calling a beast!
This was a phrase that had been played badly after Miss, Comrade, Godfather, and so on!
Wu Tianlang remembered that there was a version that said," This mutiny was only a spontaneous action by the soldiers. They could not stand Yang Guozhong's insolence, so they killed him. After killing Yang Guozhong, they were worried that Yang Guifei, Yang Guozhong's sister, would retaliate against them in the future, so they surrounded Mawei Posthouse and forced Emperor Xuanzong to order Yang Guifei to be strangled to death.
Another theory was that this matter was planned by Crown Prince Li Heng and Imperial Army Commander Chen Xuanli, and they had a common enemy: Yang Guozhong.
Based on Chen Xuanli's attitude towards the Emperor, Wu Tianlang felt that the second possibility was more likely. In other words, Chen Xuanli had secretly ordered his subordinates to create a mutiny while he played a double act. Then, he killed the Yang siblings and destroyed the Yang family's power.
The history that followed probably confirmed this trend: After the An Lushan Rebellion, Xuanzong was disheartened and wanted to pass the throne to Li Heng. Li Heng's ascension to the throne meant the decline of the Yang Clan, and Yang Guozhong's life was in danger. Yang Guozhong, through Yang Guifei, had opposed Li Heng's accession to the throne, causing Xuanzong to dispel this idea.
Crown Prince Li Heng was naturally furious and decided to eliminate Yang Guozhong.
After the fall of Tongguan, Yang Guozhong suggested that Xuanzong take refuge in Shu, which was Yang Guozhong's sphere of influence. After Li Heng entered Shu, he could only be controlled by others and could not even protect his life. In this situation, Li Heng could only get rid of Yang Guozhong.
Li Heng was also the biggest beneficiary of this mutiny. After the mutiny, Gao Lishi still followed Emperor Xuanzong to Shu. Not only did he not obtain any practical political benefits, but his situation became increasingly difficult. On the contrary, Li Heng split his forces north, completely breaking free from his father's control and declaring himself emperor. Thus, Li Heng was far more likely to be the mastermind of the mutiny than Gao Lishi.
Wu Tianlang was a little helpless about these historical legends. It had already been so long, what was the point of guessing?
But now, Wu Tianlang was the one involved!
He was prepared to participate in the current history!
He would also be able to figure out what the true history was!
Wu Tianlang thought to himself,'When I figure out the ins and outs of this, I can act tough and slap those experts who spout nonsense in the face when I return to the future!'
……
The emperor fainted!
Wu Tianlang couldn't help but feel worried. He was already a 70-year-old man. He hoped that nothing would happen to him.
It was easy for an old man at this age to get a cerebral hemorrhage.
Wu Tianlang decided to stay in the Horse Posthouse. When the Emperor woke up, he would think of a way to contact him.
He did not have much time left!
Wu Tianlang thought back to history. If he was right, the mutiny could happen tomorrow!
Wu Tianlang felt helpless. Although he had transmigrated, he was unable to stop the tide of history by himself!
He really had the heart but was powerless! Wu Tianlang sighed.
At this moment, Wu Tianlang suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. Along with the footsteps, there was the sound of chattering.
From the sound of it, it wasn't a man or a eunuch.
It was a woman's voice!
That's right!
It was a woman's voice!
When Wu Tianlang heard the voice, he was inexplicably excited.
To be able to escape with the Emperor, it must be a concubine in the harem.
Could it be that among these women, Noble Consort Yang was also here?
Thinking of Yang Guifei, Wu Tianlang's heart could not help but thump!
Yang Guifei, the emperor's favorite concubine, who had three thousand concubines, what did she look like to make Tang Xuanzong so fascinated?
Even if the person who came was not Noble Consort Yang, it should be a beautiful concubine. Then, he could also feast his eyes!
After all, he was someone who had transmigrated, and he had yet to see a decent woman!
It was said that the Great Tang was a glorious place, and the beauty of women was their plumpness. Today, he wanted to see just how graceful the women in the harem of the Great Tang were!
Wu Tianlang was a little stunned. He wanted to go out and take a look first, but when he heard the approaching footsteps, he immediately reacted!
These women were heading towards his room!
Oh my god! Wu Tianlang glanced at the cabinet with a bitter look on his face. It seemed like he had to hide in the cabinet!
Wu Tianlang had just entered the cabinet when the door opened.
Wu Tianlang left a small gap in the cabinet door. He wanted to see what this Tang woman looked like through the gap.
" Come, bring the wooden bucket into the house." The one who spoke was a girl dressed as a palace maid. This girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her handsome face was calm and composed. With a little makeup and black silk, she had a playful beauty! She was wearing an emerald green gauze and a pink daffodil green dress. She looked like a wonderful person!
Wu Tianlang squatted in the cabinet and was instantly attracted by this girl!
In comparison, this girl was still very much in line with the aesthetic standards of the later generations. She had an oval face, a slender body, a slim and graceful figure, and a good figure. It was just that she was a little thin!
Such a beauty was even more dazzling than the few popular female celebrities now! If it was in the future, it would definitely attract countless fans!
The rest of the palace maids also had their own manners and cute eyebrows.
The palace maid ordered the other palace maids to carry a large wooden bucket in and place it in the middle of the room.
"Quick, Chun Tao, go fetch water, Xia He, go get the spices, and I'll give you some."Qiuju, bring the Imperial Concubine's change of clothes here." The palace maid calmly commanded the crowd.
What was he trying to do? Wu Tianlang looked at the wooden bucket in the middle and heard their conversation. He was shocked. Could it be that someone wanted to bathe here?
Heavens! The heavens really had eyes! Wu Tianlang was overjoyed.
His heart, which had just calmed down, began to pound again!
If that was the case, his heart really couldn't take it.
One moment, it was a shock, and the next moment, it was a surprise! A young lady who was only sixteen or seventeen years old was already so capable. She was really mature! Wu Tianlang couldn't help but think.
He also knew that girls in ancient times matured early and would get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. It seemed that this was true.
Wait a minute! Wu Tianlang pondered over every word that the beautiful palace maid had said…
"Bring over the Imperial Concubine's clothes?”Wu Tianlang recalled the palace maid's words. What did this mean?
This meant that the Imperial Concubine was going to bathe here!
Heavens!
Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties of the Celestial Empire, wanted to bathe in front of him? This was really a good thing that only happened once in a thousand years!
Wu Tianlang bit his lip. It was a little painful. This proved that he was not dreaming.
He was really blessed! This transmigration was really worth it!
In that instant, Wu Tianlang felt that all the pain he had suffered today was worth it.
The room was filled with the sound of water splashing!
The palace maids were pouring water into the wooden buckets!
"Don't be too hot, just a little warm will do. Xia He, have you brought the spices?”The leading palace maid asked.
"Sister Dongmei, the spices have been put into the water!”The girl called Chun Tao said.
So, this handsome and capable girl was called Dongmei!
Presumably, this winter plum was also named after it. Listen to it, spring peach, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum. Isn't this the same as flowers blooming all year round, with fragrance lingering year after year!
People with such names were either very vulgar or very elegant. It all depended on the person's starting point...
" Xia He, go to the entrance of the posthouse and take a look. The peonies there are blooming. Go get a few and put them in the water," Dong Mei instructed.
"Sister Dongmei, are we really going to put peonies? Didn't we always put rose petals in the past? Xia He asked in a daze.
" It's not like Chang 'an. There are no roses here. Let's put the petals of the peony. Peony is the king of flowers. It's also very beautiful..." Dong Mei said.
Xia He followed the instructions.
The warm water in the bucket emitted dense steam. The girl named Dong Mei squatted beside the wooden bucket and stretched out a slender hand to stir the water in the wooden bucket. Her other hand took out spices that were ground into flour from the side and sprinkled them into the water bit by bit while stirring them with her hand...
The room was instantly filled with a refreshing fragrance. Even Wu Tianlang, who was hiding in the cabinet, could smell it. Wu Tianlang sniffed and felt that this fragrance was different from the perfumes of the past. This fragrance had a more natural feeling. It seemed to be able to penetrate your nose and mouth and infiltrate your skin.
Wu Tianlang unconsciously sniffled and made a sound!
Dong Mei, who was stirring the water, was stunned!
She stopped what she was doing and listened carefully.
When Wu Tianlang saw this, he thought to himself,'Oh no! I sniffed just now to smell this fragrance, and this lady heard me!'
Wu Tianlang held his breath and looked outside excitedly.
The chirping of cicadas came from outside the room. Dong Mei shook her head and said,"Aiya, you've been running around for the past two days. Are you tired to the point that you're hallucinating?”
