More than 10,000 heads were marinated with lime and placed neatly in front of the military officials outside the palace.

Three thousand rebel prisoners were strung into rows with long ropes, like grasshoppers in autumn, kneeling down at the head next to their heads. Outside the military officials' office were surrounded by Chang'an subjects who came to hear the news, pointing at the heads and prisoners, looking excited and horrified.

The emperor's ceremonial guard left the palace, and the Yulin Guard opened a road among the crowd, and Li Longji's imperial chariot stopped slowly.

Seeing that when the son walked out of the carriage today, the onlookers all bowed down.

Li Longji, who was helped off the chariot by Gao Lishi, saw the mountainous heads and prisoners at first sight.

Li Longji was shocked and his face looked a little ugly.

Emperor Taiping, who had been the Emperor Taiping for more than 40 years, was used to seeing mountains of gold and silver, but rarely saw such bloody scenes.

Although it was a bit disgusting, Li Longji's acting skills were still very thoughtful. Under the gaze of countless subjects, Li Longji showed a gratified smile.

When he turned around, he saw a general who looked like a captain standing beside him, who should be the general of the Anxi Army who was responsible for escorting the head and prisoners.

Li Longji pointed at him and said in a deep voice: "Who are you in the Anxi Army?"

The general clasped his fists and said, "When you go back to your Majesty, the last general is Gao Lang, the commander of the Guoyi Army of Anxi. He was once a general of the Jinwu Guard. Tianbao was transferred to Anxi for twelve years.

Li Longji nodded, pointed to the head and prisoners in front of him and said, "Are these rebels?"

"Yes, Your Majesty can send someone to verify."

Li Longji looked around the subjects around him, smiled and raised his voice, "Tell me how Gu Qing won the first battle."

Gao Lang was once the general of Jinwu Guard in the palace, and naturally he was also a very exquisite person. So he also shouted: "In the 14th month of Tianbao, the Anxi army was ordered to enter Yumen Pass to quell the rebellion. In May, he arrived in Yuanzhou. The scout reported that the rebels had captured Qingzhou Longzhou, and the main force of the rebels was in Longzhou. The Anxi Jiedushi Gu Qing then decided to "surround the site and fight for assistance" and first sent troops and horses to cruise outside Qingzhou City, leading Longzhou to send rebels to aid Qingzhou, while the Anxi army was ambushed on the necessary road from Longzhou to Qingzhou."

"On the fifth day of the fifth month of Tianbao, An Thief sent 20,000 rebels to Qingzhou. Halfway through the way, the Anxi Army launched snipers on both sides of the east and west sides, and wiped out 20,000 reinforcements. In this battle, more than 10,000 rebels were killed, more than 3,000 prisoners were captured, and the 20,000 rebels were wiped out."

After talking in a concise and concise manner, many subjects not far away heard it clearly, and bursts of marvelous and praise came from the crowd.

Li Longji raised his voice on purpose. When the subjects in the capital of the Tang Dynasty were in panic, Li Longji really needed a shocking victory to appease the hearts of the subjects in Chang'an.

This is also the reason why he issued an order to make the heads and prisoners openly placed in front of the military officials' office. He wanted all the subjects in Chang'an to see clearly that the royal army of the court would not be defeated, and the rebellion would definitely be quelled.

"Okay! Very good! Gu Qing is worthy of being the brave general of my Tang Dynasty. He won the first battle in the pass and annihilated 20,000 enemies. This is a great victory. I should offer prisoners to Taimiao to report to my ancestors and the country." Li Longji said happily.

The crowd whispered, and his expression was equally excited.

After a long time, a voice suddenly came from the crowd: "The country has heroic monarchs and good generals, and the rebellion of the thief will be quelled."

"Yes, just a rebellion will be quelled in an instant, so we don't have to panic."

"My emperor is so destined to be the world, why fear the barbarian clowns?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, many people agreed.

Amid the sound of praise, Li Longji let out a gentle breath, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.

"A good general of the country has made meritorious contributions in the first battle, how can I not reward me?" Li Longji suddenly raised his voice and said, "I will write an order by the servant, Gu Qingke, 'Pingzhangshi and the Central Government', and the Central Political Affairs..."

After a pause, Li Longji added: "Another one thousand taels of gold and five thousand pieces of Mingguang armor were given, and sent to Anxi Army."

The crowd was restless again, and the subjects bowed one after another. This time, they all praised the emperor's kindness in unison. The good general was fortunate to be born in the prosperous dynasty.

Although "Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi" is a false title, its status is comparable to that of the prime minister. Before the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were granted titles, there must be "Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi" in their official positions before they can be promoted to prime minister rightfully.

In other words, Gu Qing is now qualified to be the prime minister.

When the crowd praised him, Gao Lang leaned down and bowed, shouting: "The last general will thank the Marquis of Gu County for his grace!"

Li Longji smiled and said, "Tell Gu Qing that I value him very much and hope that he can lead the Anxi Army to win several more battles and show the prestige of the Anxi Iron Army. I will not hesitate to reward you."

Li Longji smiled, then his face became clear and said, "I asked someone to present the prisoners to the Taimiao to report to the ancestors and the country."

…………

When he returned to Xingqing Palace, Li Longji's mood was obviously much better.

The first victory of the Anxi Army was like a fierce medicine, and the panicked king and ministers suddenly became full of confidence in suppressing the rebellion.

Outsiders do not know how much life it takes to win a war, how many hardships and calculations they see only how many levels of beheading and how many people they captured, as if the king's army had their own help. They stood on the battlefield and did nothing, and the enemy took the initiative to kill and sent their military merits to the king's army.

When laymen see the success of insiders, they always think it is easy and have a very extreme attitude.

When the crisis was approaching, I thought the sky was about to collapse, and fled one by one, and hugged the closest people with all kinds of sad and sad literary tones to say the last goodbye. Every second I spent was the countdown of the doomsday.

In a small victory, they thought Nuwa had suddenly repaired the sky, and from then on, the world had restored peace and could continue to sing and dance to peace. As a matter of love, nothing happened. By the way, in addition to singing and dancing to peace, they might as well sing praises Nuwa who repaired the sky. Heroes are hard, heroes are extraordinary, and heroes deserve to live to be 120 years old.

Huh? Heroes are heroes, and their character is so glorious and majestic. Why do you want to touch luxury cars? Have you ever thought of a life of extravagance? Are you going to betray the people? No, no, it’s not OK to touch them. Luxury cars are not something you can touch.

This is how human nature is. If a true hero is a little narrow-minded, he will feel that it is worthless to give his youth and life for these people.

Back at Xingqing Palace, Li Longji went straight to the pavilion of Longchi.

Yang Guifei was still sitting in the pavilion, staring at Longchi in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and there were two lines of tears left on her extremely beautiful cheeks, and she looked mournful.

Li Longji felt ache in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand.

Her hands were cold, like a sculpture that had lost its soul.

"Madam, good news, that boy Gu Qing has made great progress and won a great victory, giving me and you a good face. He annihilated 20,000 enemies in the first battle. Haha, I said at the beginning that he was my Huo Qubing, and I really got it." Li Longji smiled happily.

Concubine Yang tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and the Tang Dynasty will last forever."

Li Longji said happily: "It's not bad, it's forever forever. Haha, An Lushan, the clown who jumps into the beam, I can wipe out him any young minister. If the country has this pillar, I will have no worries."

Seeing that Yang Guifei was still not happy, Li Longji put some favors on her and said, "I want to thank my wife. I have introduced Gu Qing as a talent for me back then. Gu Qing did not disappoint me and her wife. Although I have caused many minor disasters over the years, I have always stood upright in front of Dayi. I have just given Gu Qing the title of "Pingzhangshi in the Tongshu Jung Sect". After quelling the rebellion in the future, I intend to let Gu Qing enter the center of the court and participate in political affairs."

Concubine Yang forced a smile: "I am thankful for your kindness on behalf of Gu Qing."

Seeing that she was still depressed, Li Longji knew that what she said this morning was too hurtful. It was not at that time. At this time, there was news of the Anxi Army's victory. Li Longji's confidence in suppressing the rebellion was much stronger. Thinking about the vague accusing Yang Guifei of being beautiful and misleading the emperor in the morning, it was indeed inappropriate.

Where did she misled you? An Lushan’s rebellion was just a small storm, and it could be settled in a flash. Why did she say such heartless words to her wife who had been loving for many years?

As an emperor, Li Longji must be decent and dignified. He can't say anything about apologizing and giving in. He can only hold her hand and say softly: "The news of the great victory of the Anxi Army spread throughout Chang'an, and the subjects are happy. I decided to call the ministers tonight for a banquet and congratulate Gu Qing to the future. My wife should also participate in the meeting. Go back to the palace to dress up. I can draw my eyebrows for my wife..."

Concubine Yang lowered her eyelids and whispered: "Yes, I'll go back to the palace to change my clothes now."

Seeing that Yang Guifei Yingying left and left depressedly, Li Longji sighed deeply.

A word between a couple hurts people often makes it difficult to heal cracks. I don’t know how long it will take to forget this unpleasant thing.

Seeing Yang Guifei's back disappearing by the dragon pond, Li Longji sighed: "General Gao, what do you think of the relationship between men and women? Why does it always make me happy and angry?"

Gao Lishi behind him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand the relationship between men and women. Concubine Taizhen is a little unhappy today. It would be better if your Majesty coaxes you more."

Li Longji nodded and said sneered: "But think about it the other way around, the wife's joy and anger is the expression of her nature. She does not look like other concubines in the palace, who look frightened and uneasy. No matter what I say or do, they all agree with it and dare not say a word. These women are boring. It's better for the wife, and her temperament is real in front of me, which fascinates me."

Gao Lishi laughed and said, he was not good at this and could not say anything nutritious.

Li Longji was silent for a moment, and his face gradually became darker: "The Anxi Army was the back-end to enter the pass, and he won a victory as soon as he arrived in Guanzhong. What are the people like Geshuhan, An Chongzhang and others doing? Why don't you see any good news for me?"

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "The rebels have occupied many counties and counties in the north and south of the Yellow River. Geshuhan was ordered to lead the Hexi army to fight on the south bank of the Yellow River. After An Chongzhang was captured in Qingzhou, he led the remnants to break through and disappeared. Perhaps he was collecting the remnants and continuing to deal with the rebels in Guanzhong."

Li Longji snorted coldly: "It's all famous generals of the country, but they are not as good as a young man in his twenties. Look at Gu Qing's Anxi Army, then look at Geshuhan and An Chongzhang, Humph! Wasted!"
